Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 187: Severing Fate, Enlightening, and Dustless

The Black Tortoise had no intention of resisting Li Liufeng's act of giving it away.

It was even more proactive than Li Liufeng. Without the disciples of the Land of the Source of the Dao doing anything, it pulled out its four legs by itself.

Because it squatted on the ground all year round without moving, its four legs had already merged with the rocks on the ground.

As its body propped up, cracks appeared on the rocks.

He wobbled as he slowly crawled towards Nine River City step by step.

Chen Qing looked at this magical scene and actually didn't know what to say for a moment.

Say thank you?

Before Chen Qing could react, Li Liufeng grabbed him and said, "Little nephew, let's go. I've already prepared a welcome banquet!"

After the welcome banquet, Chen Qing and Li Liufeng sat under an ancient pine tree in the Land of the Source of the Dao and drank tea.

There was a chessboard carved on the stone table. Not only could it be used to make tea, but it could also be used to play chess.

The chess pieces were black and white cobblestones.

Chen Qing picked up a cup of tea. With just a sip, he felt his whole body relax.

"Senior, is this the Pure Flame Heart Burning Tea?"

Li Liufeng smiled proudly and nodded. "Yes, this is the treasure of the Land of the Source of the Dao, the Pure Flame Heart Burning Tea."

"Although it's not a divine medicine, it's comparable to one."

"I think you haven't seen this tea tree that grows the Pure Flame Heart Burning Tea, right?"

"Come, I'll take you to see it."

He followed Li Liufeng to the mountain behind the Land of the Source of the Dao. After walking for a while, he saw a tea tree that was only as tall as a person growing in a cold pond.

Before he even got close, he could already feel the biting cold.

With Chen Qing's current cultivation, he could still feel the cold. It could only be said that this cold pond was quite extraordinary.

Li Liufeng said, "This is the tea tree that grows the Pure Flame Heart Burning Tea."

"Although the tea is like a pure flame when it enters the throat, it grows in a cold pond!"

The tea tree was only as thick as an arm and had many branches. However, it didn't have much maintenance, as if it was allowed to grow freely.

Chen Qing looked at this tea tree carefully. This was a precious medicine that was extremely suitable for him.

Originally, he had a slight headache after swallowing the obsessions of three Sword Masters. Now that he drank a cup of tea, he actually felt much better.

This tea could burn away distracting thoughts and lighten the burden on one's soul.

Li Liufeng stretched out his hand and pointed at the tea tree. "Little nephew, I heard Yan Bailiang say that your perception towards spirit plants is extremely sharp. Is that true?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly.

"That's right, that's true."

This was no secret.

Li Liufeng pointed at a clay basin filled with tricolored soil on the tea tree and asked, "Then, can you sense whether the tea tree in this clay basin has taken root?"

"Speaking of which, it's been more than five thousand years. Eldest Senior Brother put a clay pot on the tea tree and wanted it to take root. Then, a tea tree would grow."

"Unfortunately, more than five thousand years have passed, and no one has been able to sense whether it has taken root, so no one has dared to touch it."

Chen Qing spread out his perception and carefully probed the mud basin. Although there weren't many root systems, there were still three main roots and twenty-five root hairs.

"It already has three main roots and twenty-five root hairs. If it splits, it can definitely survive!"

Li Liufeng laughed, "That's great!"

"Little nephew, you've done me such a big favor. How should I thank you?"

Chen Qing carefully looked at Li Liufeng and then at the clay basin on the tea tree.

"Why don't you give me this split plant?"

Li Liufeng laughed heartily, "Good idea, really good idea!"

Chen Qing, "!!!"

This was like someone asking you to help pick a peach, and after picking it, he was prepared to give you the peach to thank you!

Li Liufeng said, "I'll send a few boys to take care of the tea tree to your Nine River City later!"

"The tea tree will be delivered to Nine River City very soon!"

At this moment, Chen Qing finally tasted a hint of flavor.

Although he didn't know why Li Liufeng was giving him so many things, it was obvious that if he didn't accept it now.

In the future, when Li Liufeng had any requests, he would definitely not be short.

Therefore, Chen Qing walked into the spiritual plant garden. When he saw a stalk of treasure medicine, he said, "Senior, this stalk of treasure medicine looks very good."

"I'll give it to you!"

"Senior, this lotus is very good too."

"I'll give it to you!"

"Senior, is this fruit sweet?"

"I'll give it to you!"

After destroying half of the spiritual plant garden, Chen Qing reluctantly left this place.

In order to not lose out in the future, Chen Qing racked his brains and tried his best to take away a portion of everything he could see and take away.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Dragon Stallion Army and the disciples of the Land of the Dao.

It became one who really dared to take and one who really dared to give.

Just the Cleansing Heart Scorching Tea alone, the Land of the Dao's 3,000 years of collection, was taken away by Chen Qing this time.

A full two kilograms!

Such a treasure could no longer be measured by spirit stones.

Because even if you had spirit stones, you couldn't buy it in the outside world.

And Chen Qing took away half of it in one go.

After taking a large number of treasures, Chen Qing spoke of his purpose in coming to the land of dao source amidst the mess.

"Senior, disciple is slow-witted and has no talent in martial path."

"If I fight Ji Chang like this, I will definitely lose."

"I wonder if there are any Gu worms in the land of dao source that can help me comprehend the Great Dao?"

Li Liufeng said: "You asked the right person."

"The land of dao source has nothing else, but it has unique methods to comprehend Dao."

"There are three types of Gu worms in the land of dao source that can help people comprehend Dao!"

"The first is called Cutting Fate."

"If you contract this Gu worm, you can enter a state of emotionless calmness and inaction, you can comprehend Dao wholeheartedly and have no heart for the mortal world."

"Cutting Emotion and Severing Desire is the best Gu worm for comprehending Dao!"

Chen Qing did not like it after hearing this.

"It is not suitable for me."

Li Liufeng continued: "The second is called Understanding!"

"Once you contract this Gu worm, your thoughts will be clear and your soul will be free, you can do whatever you want."

"Using this Gu worm, your mind will be filled with thoughts, you can evolve the Gu worm you contracted and comprehend a new spell technique."

"But the condition for using this Gu worm is that you have to do something you thought of at that time."

"You have to do it immediately after thinking of it, you can enter this state of Dao comprehension."

Chen Qing thought: The things I think of cannot be done casually.

"Disciple's decision may involve the lives of thousands of people, this Gu worm is not suitable for me."

Li Liufeng clapped his hands and smiled, as if he had expected this: "The third is Dustless!"

"It can only be used on an absolutely dustless Clear Mirror, it can maintain one's calmness and avoid qi deviation when comprehending Dao to a large extent."

"Although the effect of comprehending Dao is not as good as the previous two, it should be the easiest to fulfill the condition."

Chen Qing thought about it again and again, although the previous two Gu worms were strong enough, the negative effects were not something he could bear.

Those two Gu worms were more like Gu worms that could only be used by people who had reached a dead end, or people who were extremely passionate about Dao.

And he was only using them as his tools.

"For an ordinary person like me, I'd better use Dustless."

After seeing the three Gu worms, Chen Qing confirmed that Li Liufeng was not lying to him.

In his eyes, the effects of Severing Fate and Understanding were indeed similar to what Li Liufeng had said.

The only thing that puzzled Chen Qing was that these three Gu worms were classified as Gates.

[Spirit grade door Gu — Sever Fate]

[Spirit grade door Gu — Clear Access]

[Spirit grade door Gu — Dustless]

Door?

Was there any special meaning behind it?

After Chen Qing carefully savored it, he actually tasted a trace of unique flavor.

These three types of Gu worms could help people with insufficient talent to make up for their flaws.

To put it bluntly, it was to forcefully increase one's comprehension!

So the door means to take a shortcut?

Or did he open a door in a place where there was no path before?

There should be all of them.

Looking at these three Gu worms, Chen Qing suddenly felt that he had grasped another secret regarding the origin of Gu worms.

The door.

If the void was a door, then he was the door-pusher.

He was the proof that the door was open. Only when the door was open could it prove that the door existed.

Then that door that represented the void, what kind of ability did it have, what did it represent?

Chen Qing shook his head, putting aside these thoughts and picking up the dustless Gu.

He turned around and cupped his fists towards Li Liufeng, "Thank you, senior!"

With this Gu worm, his final shortcoming could be considered to be fixed.

That was insufficient comprehension.

If he lacked it innately, he would make up for it in the future.

Chen Qing had never lied to himself about his own flaws.

If he could not, he could not, and if he could, he could.

After contracting with dustless Gu, Chen Qing instantly felt a brand new change in his body.

The aftereffects of swallowing the obsessions of three sword path grandmasters had completely disappeared.

Dustless Gu's effect was to amplify his soul, changing the direction of his soul's endurance.

Fish soup's effect was to increase the toughness and quality of the soul.

Dustless Gu, on the other hand, raised the strength of his soul.

Right now, he was only transforming into a butterfly, if he waited until he reached Dao Integration, there should be even better effects.

After staying in the dao source land for half a month, Chen Qing set off again.

The place he was going to this time was called Heir Mountain.

Different from the dao source land and Hidden Sword Mountain, Heir Mountain was located in a secret place near the border between Fire Country and Wu Country, it was a true otherworldly place.

And whether he could find wild Sumeru Gu, he would find the answer here.
