Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 186: You like it, I'll give it to you!

This time, it took a long time for him to complete the upgrade.

Even if all of Chen Qing's Gu worms were added together, it would not take as long as this time.

He felt as if a month had passed.

Although the butterfly on his chest was no longer flapping its wings, Chen Qing's blood was still flowing.

But it was still, maintaining Chen Qing's basic life force expenditure.

It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ying Wugang and Zuo Chuan, one was standing on the cliff above Chen Qing, while the other was standing at the bottom of the cliff.

Their hands were touching their weapons, ready to attack at any time.

After a full day and night, Chen Qing finally awoke from the state of hibernation.

The butterfly on his chest flapped its wings again, the blood flowing out of his body returned to normal.

Vital light butterfly, rank nine!

Chen Qing stood up, feeling his body relax.

He looked into the distance, his gaze passing through the layers of clouds and mountains. "Next, I should travel ten thousand miles and watch all living things die."

In his opinion, his vital light Gu should be the easiest to advance to king rank.

Be it Fu Luo, Scholar, Red Lotus, or Yao Feng, they were all much harder to advance.

He wondered how strong it would be after advancing to king rank.

Judging from its current strength, once the vital light butterfly advanced to king rank, it would be an extremely strong existence even among king ranks.

At least, Chen Qing felt it would be much stronger than Li Chonghuan's king Gu.

"I agree with what you said!"

"The sword ghost is in Sword Abyss, you can take it!"

"By the way, give me the rest of the Sword Vermin Scriptures!"

Chen Qing snickered, he was still discovered.

Sword gu was not like strength Gu, because the yin and yang of sword gu was strange, the advancement path of sword gu was much more complicated than strength Gu, it was not something that could be written in one book.

Chen Qing only gave Imperial Tutor one book, the rest were still with him.

This was also why he dared to give Imperial Tutor one book.

"Ying Wugang, bring the rest of the 《Sword Gu Chapter》 here."

Saying so, Chen Qing jumped down from the huge pine tree, jumping into the foggy Sword Abyss.

The moment he arrived, Chen Qing saw a Sword Ghost that looked like a Daoist sitting cross-legged on a withered tree. He was staring blankly at a small flower in the corner of a stone wall.

Chen Qing stretched out his hand and easily caught the Sword Ghost in his hand, turning it into a red fish.

The Black Fish was the one with resentment, while the Red Fish was the one with obsession.

Chen Qing stuffed it into his mouth, and then he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started to absorb the comprehensions and memories in the Sword Dao within it.

The Sword Demon was different from the average ghost. It was an obsession, and it was much purer. All that was left in its memories were the pure sword moves.

This saved Chen Qing a lot of time and effort to get rid of distracting thoughts.

The name and experience of the old man that Chen Qing had swallowed could no longer be gleaned from his memories.

Chen Qing had only learned one sword move, Rock Cleaving.

Chen Qing spread open his hand, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword appeared in his hand. He unleashed his Rock Slicing Sword and sliced open a canyon leading to the top of the mountain.

The canyon was several hundred feet long. Chen Qing carefully sensed it. "Not bad."

"If I continue to swallow, there's hope for me to reach the Grandmaster Stage!"

Over the past few days, Chen Qing had been wandering around the Sword Abyss at the bottom of the Hidden Sword Mountain, constantly grabbing and swallowing Sword Demons that had already taken form.

Two, three, ten, twenty, thirty, and so on.

Chen Qing swallowed one Sword Demon, and after confirming that he had completely mastered the sword moves of the Sword Demon, he let it go.

A month passed by slowly. Chen Qing had swallowed a total of one hundred and eighty-two Sword Demons, and he had absorbed two hundred and eighteen sword moves.

At this moment, there were only three relatively powerful obsessions left in the Sword Abyss.

They had all reached the Grandmaster Stage when they were alive.

Chen Qing could feel that he had completely reached the Dharma Eye Stage.

Now, when he saw others use their swords, he could almost see where their flaws were at a glance.

At this moment, even Zhang Can would be no match for him in a sword fight.

Thinking back to Zhang Can's sword moves, he had no idea how to break through them previously, and he could only take them head-on.

Now, however, he was practically full of flaws.

Chen Qing collected his thoughts and walked toward the last three Sword Demons.

The first Sword Demon seemed to have been a female cultivator when she was alive, and her entire body exuded a red murderous aura.

Seeing Chen Qing coming over, she did not move at all.

"Her name was Hong Ying when she was alive. She started learning the sword at the age of three, and she entered the Mystic Understanding Stage of the Sword Dao at the age of ten.

"She entered the second stage of the Dharma Eye Stage at the age of eighteen.

"She entered the Grandmaster Stage at the age of seventy-two.

"Her talent in the Sword Dao is the highest in the Hidden Sword Mountain since the establishment of the sect.

"She's the second Ancestral Master!

"Her sword technique is exquisite and peerless, and she can dominate the world!

"She's peerless!

"She's best at hitting the enemy's weak points and finding their flaws.

"When she attacks, she usually defeats the enemy with one move!

"It's fine if she doesn't attack, but when she does, she decides life and death with one move.

"Her strongest moves are the Sword Drawing Technique and the Sword Nurturing Technique.

"The sword is nurtured in the scabbard. Once she attacks, her power is shocking!

"Although the Sword Drawing Technique is the most ordinary sword move, in the hands of the second Ancestral Master, it can be said to be able to break all techniques with one move!"

The Grand Tutor said slowly.

Only then did Chen Qing's expression turn serious. He walked in front of Hong Ying's obsessions, bowed, and cupped his hands in a disciple's salute.

"Senior, I'll have to offend you today!

"Unfortunately, I'm not talented enough. I can only rely on senior's sword moves to survive!

"Sorry!"

After saying that, Chen Qing bowed again.

He reached out and grabbed the red obsessions. It turned into the size of a palm in his hand and swallowed it into his stomach.

Feeling the huge amount of Sword Dao experience entering his mind, Chen Qing hurriedly sat down cross-legged and began to carefully comprehend it.

A month passed slowly. Apart from attending gatherings, Chen Qing was carefully comprehending the mysteries of the Sword Dao.

Now that he had swallowed Hong Ying's Sword Ghost obsessions, Chen Qing could clearly feel that he seemed to be on the verge of becoming a Master.

However, he could not take that step no matter how hard he tried.

His current Sword Dao realm should be at the peak of the Dharma Eye realm.

He was not in a hurry. He walked in front of the second Sword Ghost.

The second Sword Ghost was different from the red-clothed Sword Ghost. It was an old man.

He was dressed in sackcloth and sat in front of a huge sword.

Seeing Chen Qing walk in front of the Sword Ghost, the Grand Tutor picked up a bamboo basket, took out candles and tributes, and placed them in front of the Sword Ghost.

"This is the founder of our Hidden Sword Mountain."

"He relied on his Giant Sword Technique to dominate the world.

"He learned the sword at the age of 12, entered the Mystic Enlightening realm at 15, and entered the Dharma Eye realm at 27.

"He entered the Master realm at the age of 172.

"Although he's not as talented as the second Grand Tutor who shocked the world, he should be the most suitable for you.

"His sword technique is domineering and unparalleled. He's best at using strength to suppress others!

"His sword technique is called the Taique Sword."

Chen Qing burned a handful of paper money. After paying his respects respectfully, he saluted as a disciple.

"Senior, I'm sorry!"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he reached out and swallowed it into his stomach.

As a large amount of Sword Dao experience and memories swept over, Chen Qing closed his eyes and began to carefully comprehend.

More than a month had passed. Chen Qing opened his eyes and clearly felt that his temperament had changed.

Although he still hadn't reached the Sword Dao Grandmaster realm, he was completely different from before.

Now, even if he didn't use Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, he was confident that he could easily suppress the few guard generals under his command.

It could be said that this trip to Sword-hidden Mountain had made up for his most lacking shortcoming.

That was, he hadn't been cultivating for long.

Now, he was like an old monster who had been practicing the sword for a thousand years.

Even if his talent wasn't great, hard work could make up for it.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing came in front of the last Sword Ghost.

The Imperial Preceptor had prepared more offerings this time, including a pot of old wine and a plate of plum blossoms.

"Now, the one in front of you is my master."

"The seventh Ancestral Master of Sword-hidden Mountain."

"My master's talent in Sword Dao isn't very good. It wasn't until he was more than three thousand years old that he broke through to the Sword Dao Grandmaster realm."

"His sword is righteous and peaceful. Each sword is stronger than the last. The more he fights, the stronger he gets!"

"It's called Thousand Folds of Waves."

"The initial momentum isn't strong, but every time he strikes, the sword momentum will increase and become stronger and stronger!"

"After a thousand strikes, the sword momentum will shock the heavens and no one will be a match for him!"

The Imperial Preceptor looked at Chen Qing and chuckled. "Of course, he's still much stronger than you."

"With your original talent, I'm afraid you'll never reach the Sword Dao Grandmaster realm in this lifetime."

Chen Qing asked, "Why?"

The Imperial Preceptor said, "Your heart isn't sincere enough."

"Whether it's my master, the first Ancestral Master, or the second Ancestral Master."

"Apart from the Sword Dao, if you have no other distractions, you'll naturally reach the Sword Dao Grandmaster realm."

"You're different."

"Kid, you're not sincere at all. You have too many things on your mind and think too much."

"Moreover, I've observed that your Dao should be comprehending a profound Dao."

"It's just that your technique is Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, so the Sword Dao is very helpful to you."

"In your eyes, the Sword Dao is just a tool."

Chen Qing nodded slightly and laughed. "Imperial Preceptor is right."

"Perhaps this is also the reason why my aptitude in the Sword Dao is very poor."

The Imperial Preceptor shook his head.

"Aptitude has nothing to do with this."

"Although my master's aptitude is poor, it's not as bad as yours."

"In the end, it's because he's different from others. He's obsessed with the sword that he's able to achieve so much."

After paying his respects, Chen Qing once again performed the greeting of a disciple.

He swallowed the substitute mountain master of the Hidden Sword Mountain in one gulp.

This time, Chen Qing comprehended for over two months before he completely absorbed the memories of the previous generation's Sword Dao.

His head was a little dizzy.

Chen Qing did not expect that although the previous Ancestral Master had the worst aptitude, he had the deepest understanding of the Sword Dao.

Was this what it meant to be a late bloomer and a well-prepared person?

Although he had yet to reach the Grandmaster Realm, Chen Qing could feel that he was only a step away from it.

After this trip and returning to Linglong Divine Palace, he might be able to break through to Sword Dao Grandmaster with the help of the Yuhua Immortal Tree.

It was time to get a sword.

Chen Qing wandered among the many famed swords and finally chose a heavy sword.

This was the sword of the founding ancestor of the Hidden Sword Mountain. All this time, no disciple of the Hidden Sword Mountain had been recognized by it, so it could not be contracted.

But Chen Qing was different. Chen Qing just gently held it and lifted it up.

Perhaps it was because this sword felt a familiar aura, or it knew that Chen Qing was very good at using it.

The sword was called Heavy Mountain, and it was a heavy sword.

It was five feet one inch long, seven inches long, and four feet three inches long.

It was as heavy as a mountain, and those who were not strong enough could not lift it at all.

But in Chen Qing's hands, he felt that it was just right.

He waved it casually and it was very smooth.

After contracting the Heavy Mountain, Chen Qing returned to his guards outside the Hidden Sword Mountain.

The Imperial Preceptor did not come to see him off. There were also 35 Foundation Establishment disciples of the Hidden Sword Mountain who left with him.

They would follow Chen Qing into the Death Realm in the future.

When Chen Qing and the others had walked three miles away, they suddenly heard the Imperial Preceptor's angry roar in the wind behind them. "Qing Xu, remember to bring back the disciples of the Hidden Sword Mountain in one piece!"

Chen Qing reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage and took a deep look at the Hidden Sword Mountain, but he did not respond.

He did not even know whether he was dead or alive. How could he promise to bring back these disciples of the Hidden Sword Mountain in one piece?

It would be considered good if he could bring back half of them.

After boiling the evil spirits near the Hidden Sword Mountain into fish soup one by one, Chen Qing drank the fish soup cooked by hundreds of evil spirits and felt that his body had become stronger again.

It was time to head to the next stop, the Land of the Dao Source.

This time, before he reached the Land of the Dao Source, Chen Qing met the current temple master of the Land of the Dao Source, Li Liufeng, a hundred miles away from the Land of the Dao Source.

Li Liufeng looked quite sage-like. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and wore a loose white Daoist robe.

His beard and hair were white, and his face was ruddy.

"Isn't this my dear little nephew Qing Xu!"

When Chen Qing heard that Li Liufeng had personally come to welcome him, he immediately got out of the carriage and bowed in front of Li Liufeng.

"Senior should be waiting in the Land of the Dao Source. It's really too much for Senior to personally come to welcome me!"

Li Liufeng laughed and stepped forward to grab Chen Qing's hand. "Little nephew, don't be so polite!"

"Your father-in-law and I are old friends. According to seniority, I should call you Martial Nephew!"

"Let's go. The welcome banquet at the Land of the Dao Source is already prepared. Come with me!"

You're old friends with my father-in-law?

Li Liufeng was not wrong to say that. After all, the person in front of him was said to be more than 3,600 years old.

He did not see him the last time he came, but he saw him this time.

He was even older than the spiritual beast Black Tortoise outside the Land of the Dao Source.

But, he was so enthusiastic.

"Little nephew, let me tell you, I like young elites like you the most!"

"I only meet one every few hundred years!"

"I have to have a good talk with you about this!"

"I think it's hard to meet someone like you even in ten thousand years!"

"Among the countless generations of geniuses, who could suppress the entire Foundation Establishment of Nine Li by themselves?"

Chen Qing thought to himself, Didn't the Lord of Mortal World do it 300 years ago?

"Senior, you're too kind!"

Li Liufeng laughed and reached out to lead Chen Qing to the gate of the Land of the Dao Source. "Look, the Black Tortoise is overjoyed to see you!"

When Chen Qing saw this, his old friend was also overjoyed.

"Indeed, this Black Tortoise not only looks magical, but also has a very good temper!"

Li Liufeng immediately waved and said, "You like it, right? I'll give it to you!"

Chen Qing, "???"

Huh?

Li Liufeng pointed at a few disciples of the Land of the Dao Source and scolded, "Didn't you hear?"

"Go, send the Black Tortoise to Nine River City!"

Chen Qing, "Senior, what are you doing?

You've raised a spiritual beast for 3,000 years, and you're giving it away just like that? "
