Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 182: Heroic Hero's Death

Chen Qing did not really listen to what they said after that.

Chen Qing finally experienced what it meant to be a great sect.

Others might not know, but from his position, he could clearly feel everything that a great sect brought about.

Needless to say, Chen Qing understood what it meant to win against several sword sects.

It was all Sword Swimming Palace's arrangement.

Senior sister had probably followed the path arranged by Sword Swimming Palace and obtained a huge fortuitous encounter, thus transforming.

Immortal Court, Heavenly Master Residence, Great Liao, Extreme Light Sect, Deity Miao, he might not be able to feel much.

However, when it came to the Sword Swimming Palace, Chen Qing truly felt just how terrifying this great sect was.

They had already planned everything.

Whether it was borrowing strength from Extreme Light Sect or Deity Miao, they made Chen Qing the rightful leader of Southern Li's foundation establishment.

All of this was probably arranged by Sword Swimming Palace long ago.

What was even more ridiculous was that Chen Qing actually did not feel any disgust towards Sword Swimming Palace, he only felt that the force behind Sword Swimming Palace was so shocking.

It even gave him a sense of security.

Sword Swimming Palace took away senior sister, they were clearly telling Chen Qing.

We are on your side, make as much trouble as you want!

Sword Swimming Palace was naturally not interested in the battle of the Death Realm, they had already completed their arrangements.

Or rather, this was a chess game that they started with their own hands.

Until now, except for Chen Qing himself, no one would have thought that he, Southern Li's scholar, Extreme Light Sect's Lord of the Mortal World, was a member of Sword Swimming Palace.

Seeing Chen Qing sitting cross-legged on the chair without saying a word, Ji Ru and Xu Yaofeng suddenly turned their gazes towards Chen Qing slowly.

Because they both thought of something.

When Ji Ru expressed that she wanted a portion of Chen Qing's authority, Chen Qing chose a void type Gu worm for her.

Great Void, Absolute Beginning.

It was hard for them not to associate this.

Ji Ru even thought, could it be that this person was the master of the three thousand Great Void?

That person, the original god.

However, Chen Qing did not give them much information.

Seeing that no one continued to chat, Chen Qing said indifferently, "Then, today's gathering ends here."

As everyone left, Chen Qing kept the large number of spirit pearls and took off the bronze mask on his face.

Beside him, Xuan Ping turned over. "Sisi is already asleep."

Chen Qing nodded. "I have news of Senior Sister."

Xuan Ping was stunned for a moment. "How is she?"

Chen Qing said, "He should have joined Sword Swimming Palace."

Xuan Ping said, "Is it the Sword Touring Palace of the Three Thousand Great Voids?"

Chen Qing answered, "That's right."

Only then did Xuan Ping say, "Isn't that good?"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Yeah, it's pretty good."

The next day, Chen Qing woke up at noon.

Rubbing his old waist, Chen Qing came to the living room, took his lunch, and was about to eat it by the side.

Yan Sisi, who was sitting beside Xuan Ping, asked, "Why is elder brother eating at the side?"

Xuan Ping said indifferently, "His food is poisoned, don't touch it."

Yan Sisi walked in front of Chen Qing and picked up a piece of radish to take a look. "I recognize this poison. It's Seven Steps of Insanity."

Xuan Ping said, "Your brother has the Snake Gu, so he's not afraid of being poisoned. That's why I usually give him different poisons."

"I don't use a lot, if there's a problem, he can detect it in advance."

"This way, he won't have to be afraid of being poisoned."

Yan Sisi said, "This is interesting, count me in!"

Chen Qing: "."

"When you poison him in the future, can you two think about how to improve the taste?"

"Every time we eat, the taste is weird."

Third day of the first month.

The final result of the wen gathering was out.

301 people's Gu worms had successfully advanced!

Regardless of what methods they used, this number was enough to shock the ancient and dazzle the contemporaries.

Chen Qing controlled this extremely well, almost reaching the number of 300 people, but it was not too much.

On this day, Chen Qing also announced that all foundation establishment cultivators in Lang Ya City could take away a copy of 'Common Gu Worms of Nan Li: Strength Gu', the whole city was in jubilation.

At the same time, Chen Qing also ordered that the academy would start recruiting cultivators, a total of three thousand people would enter the academy to study Chen Qing's Gu path books.

All of a sudden, the cultivators who obtained 'Common Gu Worms of Nan Li: Strength Gu' started to set off towards their hometowns, hoping to send a smart cultivator to study it.

Of course, when it came to teaching, Chen Qing would definitely not personally teach. At most, he would just show his face and let these cultivators admire him.

According to the academy, if you have the time to teach others, you might as well write a few more books!

On this day, after meeting the temple attendant and agreeing that he wanted to be a teacher in the academy, Chen Qing was pulled away by Xuan Ping.

"Have you forgotten? You promised to spend a day with me every year."

Now that the situation had stabilized, Chen Qing naturally agreed happily.

He told Wei Qingchen that he would go out with Xuan Ping for a day and the two left Langya City.

Walking out of Langya City, Chen Qing asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xuan Ping thought for a moment, "To a place with no one!"

Xuan Ping jumped onto Chen Qing's back, "I just want to experience the feeling of you carrying me for thousands of miles!"

Chen Qing smiled, "There was an ice coffin then, but there isn't now!"

Xuan Ping said, "Let's go, let's pass through Nanli Land and go to a place further away to see the snow."

Chen Qing laughed as he stepped forward, crossing hundreds of feet in one step. His footsteps were like flying as he carried Xuan Ping on his back.

On a mountain far away, Xuan Mang and Xuan Cuo watched as the two of them flew past and laughed.

The wind and snow blew, making Xuan Ping feel a bit cold. It was even more like when she was lying in the ice coffin.

"Do you know?"

"When you carried me for thousands of miles, I knew that you were an extraordinary person."

"At that time, I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to catch up to you."

"Luckily, I caught up to you again."

"I want a lifetime, I want ten thousand years, I don't want to be a mortal for a hundred years."

"So, I will use all my strength to chase after you."

"Like your senior sister, she left not only to find you, but also to catch up to you."

"Cultivators aren't like mortals, once she can't catch up to you, she will be forgotten."

"Time will erase all of that."

"Like those people in the Xuan Martial Realm, like those people in the King City."

"Watching us kill each other on this piece of land is like watching a group of ants fighting."

"Speaking of which, when you carried me on your back and fought 200 people alone, what were you thinking?"

Chen Qing laughed, "Of course, I wanted to risk my life to save this beautiful lady. In the end, she was so touched that she gave herself to me!"

Xuan Ping punched him, "Now you've succeeded!"

After running for hundreds of miles, Xuan Ping suddenly saw a huge bear cave, "It should be warm inside, there's a bear sleeping there."

"Let's stay here tonight!"

"I want to sleep next to the bear!"

Entering the cave, there was indeed a huge black bear sleeping soundly inside.

Xuan Ping jumped down and started a fire at the entrance of the cave. "Go fish quickly. I don't want to eat the bitter fish soup today."

Chen Qing gladly accepted the order, "As you command, wife!"

After a short while, Chen Qing returned with a large fish.

Xuan Ping's craftsmanship was still so good. He didn't know why she, the daughter of the Great Shaman, knew so much.

"When I was young, I always wanted to live in a bear cave or a snow cave. Now, I finally have a chance!"

Chen Qing nodded and said, "Yes, this idea is too childish for young people, but for people of our age, it's just right."

"Puchi."

"What you said is quite interesting."

At night, Chen Qing and Xuan Ping lay in the snow, watching the stars in the sky revolve.

Hugging the big black bear's warm and soft body, Chen Qing understood more.

So Xuan Ping also had such innocent thoughts, and not just the daughter of the high and mighty Great Shaman, the wife of the Guard Master.

The next day, Chen Qing and Xuan Ping returned to their original appearances after returning to Langya City.

Chen Qing was still the head of the Foundation Establishment Stage of Nanli, while Xuan Ping was the wife of the Guard Master that all the generals feared.

Half a month later, Chen Qing participated in a gathering and understood the current situation of the Death Realm.

Overall, the ancient dragon had once again taken back the territory of the Dragon Palace. Other than that, Shang Tong and that ancient dragon were at odds.

After that, it was a long confrontation.

On the 18th of the first month, Chen Qing stood at the downstream of the Lancang River. After standing for a while, he felt a little tired, so he found a reef and sat down.

After waiting for six hours, Chen Qing suddenly saw a floating corpse slowly floating over from afar.

Chen Qing stood up and walked over the river. He reached out and picked up the floating corpse, returning to the shore.

Turning over the floating corpse, there was a bronze token at the waist of the floating corpse. On it were the words "Great Shaman".

The corpse was covered in wounds, including three knife wounds.

"It looks like Yan Shiying's work."

"Unfortunately, after waiting for so many days, I only managed to wait for a corpse."

Yan Shiying intercepted upstream while he was downstream.

"It's just a corpse. I can't tell what's going on."

"Fortunately, this corpse belongs to Great Shaman."

And upstream.

The Green Nether Dragon Lady was covered in blood and had a broken dragon horn. She was holding Yan Shiying's golden saber and slashing at him crazily!

"Damned Nanli barbarian, how dare he disfigure me!"

For the Dragon race, a broken horn was even more serious than a cut on one's face.

Horns were what the Dragon race valued the most.

She wasn't a beauty if she didn't have good looks.

Yan Shiying's body was chopped into pieces. The Azure Dragon Lady put her hands on her hips and began to check her injuries.

Ji Chang stood among the corpses in a white robe that wasn't stained with blood.

However, his jade crown was knocked off, and his hair was a little messy.

"Yan Shiying?"

"As expected of the hero of Nanli. He set up nine trials to take my life!"

"Step by step, every step is frightening, every step is calculated to death. You are truly worthy of the title of Heroic Hero."

"I've never encountered such a dangerous situation in the Western Desert."

"This person is extraordinary. What a pity."

"He's just throwing an egg at a rock."

He took the golden blade from the Azure Dragon Lady and stabbed it into the corpses. "Bury him."

"A hero like him shouldn't be left in the wilderness."

He turned and left after saying that.

There were 101 people in the team before they returned, but now there were only 13 left. They endured their injuries and dug a hole to bury the corpses.

The Azure Dragon Lady was still angry. She picked up the golden blade and stabbed it into the grave. "This blade has been with you your whole life. It'll be your tombstone!"

She wanted someone to dig up Yan Shiying's grave after seeing the golden blade.

"If Ji Chang wants to bury you, so be it. I'm just setting up a tombstone for you. No need to thank me."

On the 18th of the first month, the Dragon of Damao returned to Damao.

However, Ji Chang, who had killed 80 people in the Western Desert for almost a year, was intercepted nine times on his way to Jinzhou City.

88 people died in battle.

The Azure Dragon Lady was disfigured.

Ji Chang lost his crown.

Seven days later, Chen Qing, who was far downstream, didn't see any more corpses.

While he was waiting, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. Zhang Can was riding a dragon horse and rushing over.

"Report!"

"Guard Lord, Cheng Tianyou is here with the Dark Gate Army!"

Chen Qing turned his head. "He's not dead?"

Zhang Can said, "He's on his last breath. He was carried here with a broken leg and an arm."

"There's dragon Qi in his body that can't be removed. He should be dead in two days."

Chen Qing was relieved. "They really did what they said."

"However, it seems that he has lost."

He raised his eyes and looked at the surging river. "Yan Shiying, leave the rest to me!"

"Let's go and meet Cheng Tianyou."

Outside Langya City, the eight hundred Xuan Gate Guards were all dressed in mourning clothes. At the front, they were carrying a body covered in blood.

Cheng Tianyou was no longer as heroic as before. Now, he was just lying on the bamboo bed, gasping for breath.

The city gates opened, and the generals escorted Chen Qing out of the city.

Chen Qing swept a glance at the Vanguard Guard, yet he discovered that this group of people no longer had their former high-spirited appearance, and they were all incomparably dejected.

This was easy to understand. The Xuan Guan Army was an army that relied entirely on Yan Shiying's personal charisma.

After Yan Shiying's death, they would definitely become a pile of loose sand.

Chen Qing passed through the Vestige Guards and arrived at a bamboo bed carried by four Vestige Guards.

Fresh blood continuously flowed out from Cheng Tianyou's wound, meandering and viscous. From time to time, a terrifying Strength Qi would emerge.

Luckily, he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Otherwise, he would've been dead by now.

Chen Qing examined the wounds on Cheng Tianyou's body. There were three gunshot wounds and 13 sword wounds.

His left arm had been cut off from the elbow, and his right leg had been cut off from the base.

Seeing Chen Qing come over, a Vanguard Guard quickly woke Cheng Tianyou up.

Cheng Tianyou turned his head. After seeing Chen Qing, he finally felt relieved. "Someone, cough. Go and bring their Gu worms and diagrams here."

Someone quickly brought a carriage over. Chen Qing lifted the curtain and looked inside. There were jade bottles inside. With just a glance, he knew the number.

On the side, there were diagrams of Gu worms listed in books.

Cheng Tianyou said with difficulty, "I only took back 12 spiritual Gu worms."

"The lord died in battle. I didn't get his Gu worms. They all fell into Ji Chang's hands."

"But the lord left behind diagrams that recorded the uses, effects, and spells of all his Gu worms."

"It's convenient for you to deal with them in the future."

Chen Qing lowered the curtain. "I understand."

Cheng Tianyou continued, "I can give you my Gu worm that can shrink. It should be very suitable for you."

"The diagrams are in the carriage."

"If you don't like mine, you can go to the Heir Mountain and find another one."

"The diagrams record the location of the Heir Mountain."

Chen Qing nodded without hiding anything. "I'm indeed very interested in your Gu worm."

Cheng Tianyou supported himself with one arm and stood up. With all his strength, he said, "Pass down my orders."

"Kneel!"
