Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 19: Obtained

Following Gong Sun Xiu, they went to visit the altar elder. The elder saw them and waved his hand: "You two can go in. Li He, stay here and chat with this old man."

The storage of Gu worms was a huge matter, Chen Qing did not plan to bring Li He in. "Senior brother Li, you can stay here and chat with the elder."

The two walked into the Gu altar. Chen Qing came to the Gu altar again, but this time was different from before.

Gong Sun Xiu led the way as he explained: "There is a restriction on this jade altar, it can seal the Gu worms and preserve their lifespan."

Chen Qing looked at the information of the Gu worms and said casually: "So that's it, I was wondering why Gu worms could be preserved for so long."

After a few steps, Gong Sun Xiu pointed at a stone wall with a signboard of spirit plant hall, there were two jade altars on it.

"These are the two Gu worms stored in junior brother's spirit plant hall, you can use them to nurture your subordinates in the future."

Chen Qing looked at them, they were rank three grass spirit Gu.

He pretended to pick them up, since they were spirit plant hall's items, he had the authority to make the decision.

After playing with them for a while, he put them down and continued to follow Gong Sun Xiu to the cultivation hall's stone wall.

On the way, Chen Qing found an interesting Gu worm, he looked at it and saw that it was a Gu worm stored in the shadow hall.

[Mortal fog Gu]

Quality: Rank five

Lifespan: 26/56

Effect: Within three breaths of time, the body will turn into fog, it can fly during this period.

After turning into fog, it needs thirty breaths of time to recover.

Growth requirement: Illusionary spirit flower

Growth progress: 5/100

Advancement requirement: Rank nine, fog weather, one fog spirit essence, resurrection cigarette

Turning into fog in three breaths, didn't that mean he could easily enter any door?

As long as there was a small hole, he could easily enter.

Moreover, it was very useful in battle, if he encountered a killer move that he could not dodge, he could turn into fog to dodge it!

Whether it was escaping, concealing his tracks, or sneak attacking, it was very useful.

This fog Gu was really a good thing.

When he had enough spirit stones in the future, he would definitely get one.

Finally, the two stopped in front of the cultivation hall's stone wall, Gong Sun Xiu introduced: "Junior brother, please take a look, these are the three Gu worms stored in our cultivation hall."

Chen Qing pretended to pick up a jade jar, but his mind was completely focused on the information.

Among the three wine Gu, the best was a rank five wine Gu, while the other two were rank three and rank four.

He didn't think too much about it and picked up the rank five jade wine jar. "Senior brother, I'll take this one."

Gong Sun Xiu clasped his hands behind his back and said, "This Gu Venomous Insect isn't in good condition. How about we sell it for 8,400 spirit stones?"

Initial fifth rank, could this also be called poor quality?

Chen Qing naturally knew that Gong Sun Xiu, a person who possessed the Wine Butterfly, would not make a mistake regarding the Wine Gu. He immediately understood Gong Sun Xiu's meaning.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Gong Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Well said, well said. So, Junior Brother has used up 8,400 low-grade spirit stones a year, so you still have 200 low-grade spirit stones left."

After taking away the Wine Gu, Chen Qing went to collect the remaining two hundred low-grade spirit stones. He asked Li He to go to the Cultivation Hall in the name of the Spirit Plant Hall to get a large number of spirit ginseng seeds. Chen Qing then returned home.

Halfway back, Chen Qing suddenly remembered that he was going to stay at the Spirit Plant Elder's place for the next few days.

Thinking about it, Chen Qing went to the market at the foot of the mountain and bought a jade bracelet worth ten spirit stones.

When he returned to the Spirit Plant Elder's house, Yu Qingshuang was still practicing her sword. Chen Qing closed the door and prepared to form a contract with this newly obtained Wine Gu.

With this little guy, his cultivation would be much easier.

Using the previous method, Chen Qing bit his index finger and drew a contract rune on the jade jar.

"Under the witness of the Spring Autumn Cicada and floating life butterfly, I, Chen Qing, will form a contract with you!"

"With my body, I will nourish your body!"

The rune lit up and blood seeped into the jade jar. The spirit qi in his body also quickly flowed into the jade jar.

Compared to the Wine Treasure, the Wine Treasure seemed to need less spirit qi.

Two hours later, a white Gu flew out of the jade jar and landed in Chen Qing's palm.

[Mortal Wine Gu]

Quality: Rank five

Lifespan: 24/54

Effect: Quench the essence of spirit ginseng and condense it into ginseng wine

Growth Requirement: Green water lotus seed

Growth Progress: 41/100

Promotion Requirement: Nine Revolutions, ten drops of fire essence, three dew flowers

There were still some green water lotus seeds in the Spiritual Plant Hall. Tomorrow, he would let Jiu Bao eat one and see how much progress he could make. He would go to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy more.

During dinner, Chen Qing took out the jade bracelet, opened the box containing the jade bracelet, and pushed it to Yu Qingshuang.

"I'll have to rely on Senior Sister to take care of me these few days. I've prepared a small gift. Please accept it."

Yu Qingshuang's gaze fell on the jade bracelet. It was light green and very similar to the color of Chen Qing's Grass Spirit Gu.

"Why are you giving me this?"

"Don't you know that it's very inconvenient for me to wear this as a sword practitioner?"

"What if it breaks accidentally?"

Chen Qing laughed. It's good that it's inconvenient. If it's convenient, how will you remember me?

If it's the same as not wearing it, what's the use of it?

It's even better if it breaks. You still have to take the time to tell me.

"Senior Sister, just wear it. It's not worth much anyway."

Yu Qingshuang held her bowl and ate in small mouthfuls, but her gaze fell on the jade bracelet from time to time.

Chen Qing left after dinner, saying that he had something to do in the Spiritual Plant Hall. He left Yu Qingshuang alone to clean up.

When Chen Qing and the disciples of the Spiritual Plant Hall came back from drinking in the Bright Moon Restaurant, there was no trace of the jade bracelet on the table.

The next day, Chen Qing ate early and went to bed. This morning's meal was more exquisite than yesterday's.

He even fried two eggs!

After arranging everyone to do their own things, Chen Qing took Li He to check the Spiritual Plant Hall's inventory of spirit herbs.

Behind the Spiritual Plant Hall's lobby was a large warehouse. It was said that the walls were made of cold iron. From the outside, it looked ordinary, but it was painted blue.

Leaving Li He to guard the door, Chen Qing entered alone. As soon as he entered, he found something different.

It was very cold inside. As he entered, cold air floated everywhere.

Chen Qing touched the place where the green water lotus seeds were stored. He reached out and picked one up. It was a little choked, and the quality was not good.

Looking at the small bag that still had a few hundred seeds, he reached out to grab a handful and put them into his sleeve. Then, he picked out a dozen seeds that were about to spoil.

Walking out of the door leisurely, Chen Qing said to Li He, "After taking a look today, I found out that the sect's stock of spirit herbs is running low."

"Looks like we'll have to rely on us to grow crops in the future."

Li He cupped his hands and said, "Hall Master, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Qing opened his hand, revealing a dozen or so Jade Water Lotus Seeds that were about to spoil. "I've checked. These lotus seeds are spoiled. I've already dealt with them. Mark it down."

Chen Qing nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw Li He write down 'A batch of spoiled Emerald Water Lotus Seeds' in the account book.

Stepping into the spirit plant garden, Chen Qing brought Li He to check on the progress of the opening of the spirit fields.

Wang Ye excitedly reported, "Yesterday, we didn't have enough manpower, so we only managed to open up four mu. Today, we can open up ten mu."

Surrounded by green trees, four acres of spiritual farmland had been opened up in the middle.

Spiritual fields were different from ordinary fields. They were a few acres of land within a hundred acres of forest.

Chen Qing guessed that this had something to do with the effect of the grass spirit Gu.

It was very likely that the grass spirit Gu absorbed the vitality of the surrounding plants to replenish the spirit herbs in the spiritual farmland.

After all, the place where the spirit seizing flower grew was almost barren.

And when his grass spirit Gu evolved, he used the spirit seizing flower.

Chen Qing instructed, "Open up one mu of land per hundred mu of land near the spirit plant garden.

These twenty mu of land will be used to plant spirit ginseng. "

Wang Ye cupped his hands, "Yes, Hall Master."

Letting Li He continue to buy the insufficient spirit ginseng seeds, Chen Qing strolled back to his abode.

Opening the door, there were no traces of anyone being here. Checking the bronze grimace mask and spirit stones, they were all missing. Chen Qing laid on the bed at ease.

Spirit herbs needed to be checked regularly. He only needed this little bit. As long as it was within the range of consumption, there should be no need to worry.

He opened his hand and let the wine Gu start eating the green water lotus seeds. He wanted to see if the handful he caught was enough.
