Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 37: Then Blades and Swords Must Have No Eyes

Chen Qing bought a bunch of Gu Spirit Grass and put it away.

He walked away with his back facing Zhang Yangdao. After a few steps, he saw three Carefree Mountain disciples drinking and playing finger-guessing games in the winery. Chen Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

He walked into a corridor beside the winery. Seeing that there was no one around, he used the Fog Gu Disguise Divine Art and joined the three Carefree Mountain disciples' drinking game.

Seeing Chen Qing, they naturally invited him. After drinking with them for an hour, Chen Qing did not drink much.

In the end, he went up the mountain with the three Carefree Mountain disciples. When Chen Qing returned to the foot of the mountain, his heart was still thumping.

He looked at the black forest not far from the mountain gate. "Is there a Shadow Hall senior brother? I have something to discuss with Senior Brother Feng."

The three Carefree Mountain disciples cupped their fists and bid farewell.

Once the three of them left, a pine tree in the distance shook, and a black-clothed Shadow Hall disciple descended from above. "Hall Chief Chen, please follow me."

The Shadow Hall disciple took out a lantern from his back and led the way.

After circling around the forest, the Shadow Hall disciple brought Chen Qing to a huge cave entrance. There were several huge stalactites on both sides of the cave entrance, looking like the mouth of a monster.

The Shadow Hall disciple and the Shadow Hall disciple guarding the entrance exchanged a few words. The Shadow Hall disciple then led Chen Qing into the cave.

After going deep into the cave, the interior became increasingly spacious, like a paradise of its own.

The inside of the cave was so spacious that Chen Qing felt the entire Carefree Mountain was hollow.

This was the interior of the tortoise shell!

There was a huge steel workshop inside that was emitting hot steam. All kinds of exquisite and sharp weapons and armors were placed nearby.

The sound of hammering could be heard from time to time.

This tortoise shell was really thick. He could not hear anything from it.

Going around this, Chen Qing saw Feng Qi in a room deep inside the cave.

At this moment, Feng Qi was making markings on a map of Carefree Mountain. Chen Qing did not know what those markings meant.

Seeing Chen Qing come over, Feng Qi picked up the oil lamp and smiled. "Junior Brother Chen, you are a rare guest. What is it that you came to find me in the middle of the night?"

Chen Qing said, "Last time, when Zhang Yangdao entered the garden, I also received some spiritual stones. I was thinking of buying some materials to feed the Sword Vermin and see if it can improve a little."

"Who would've thought that when I arrived at the market, I would see Zhang Yangdao there as well?"

Feng Qi put down the blueprint in his hand. "It seems like he's here to scout the area."

Chen Qing asked, "Senior Brother, what do you plan to do?"

Feng Qi's expression turned solemn. He reached out and pressed on Chen Qing's shoulder. "Junior Brother, you must remember that since we said 'if we meet again, don't blame the sword for being blind', then the sword must be blind."

On the way back to his cave, Chen Qing saw Ye Yuntian and a Shadow Hall disciple descending the mountain.

He already had a conclusion in his heart.

The warning that should be given to Zhang Yangdao had already been given. Since he didn't know what was good for him, then he could only take action!

During this period of time, it was better not to go down the mountain.

It was simply too dangerous.

Sword Gu and fog Gu had to be raised as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if he were to encounter such a situation again, he wouldn't have any means to save his life!

People can't live by luck.

Speaking of which, why do I feel like there have been more disturbances recently?

No, it should be because he had become a hall master.

It wasn't that he brought about these disturbances after becoming a hall master, but that he knew more after becoming the spirit plant hall master.

Back when he was an ordinary disciple, there was no need to inform him of these matters.

That was good, it was better than not knowing anything. If he knew in advance, he could at least avoid it.

This time, Ye Yuntian did not ask him to carry the jar. It seemed that this was an action that did not require any discussion.

At night, Chen Qing came to the basement and leaned on the tortoise shell. He listened for a while and confirmed that he could not hear anything.

This tortoise shell was really thick.

He opened his hand and released the fog Gu. He also took out a strand of white fen hair and placed it in his palm for the fog Gu to eat.

Looking at the progress, it was already at ninety-eight, after eating this, it should be enough.

Looking at the time, it should rise tomorrow morning.

Chen Qing went to bed early, preparing to wake up early and wait for the fog Gu to rise before going to duty.

Early morning, in the dark basement, Chen Qing suddenly woke up from his dream.

This feeling, it was right!

He opened his hand, the fog Gu was no longer turning into fog and returning to its insect form, it had solidified into a lump.

He looked through the transparent Gu shell. The fog inside was constantly changing, and finally came out from a small hole in the Gu shell.

[Mortal fog Gu]

Quality: Rank five

Lifespan: 26/69

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

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

Growth requirement: Morning dew

Growth progress: 0/100

Advancement requirement: Rank nine, foggy weather, resurrection smoke, one piece of whitzard fur, one jin of frost jade

After rising to rank five, its lifespan had increased by one breath.

Why was the fog Gu's lifespan longer than grass spirit Gu, sword Gu, and wine Gu of the same grade?

Morning dew?

Morning dew.

It was slightly troublesome, but not impossible to use.

This was the cheapest one. All he needed was the dew.

Chen Qing immediately kept the fog Gu into his body, turning it into fog and flying out of the basement.

Today's weather was not good, the sky was gloomy early in the morning, but the rain did not fall, making people feel gloomy.

Of course, this did not affect Chen Qing from collecting some dew to feed the fog Gu.

He arrived at the spiritual plant garden with ease, the disciples of the spiritual plant hall had not arrived yet, it was a good time.

Bright dewdrops were rolling on all kinds of spirit herbs and flowers.

Without the light of dawn, they looked a little dull and not as bright. They looked like dark jade pearls.

Chen Qing squatted down in front of a blood ginseng, letting the fog Gu drink the dew.

Lingering among the flourishing plants and flowers, Chen Qing felt that his mind was clear and bright.

He plucked the most beautiful peony flower, this bright and elegant color would definitely look good on Yu Qing Shuang's head.

After collecting dew for fifteen minutes, the fog Gu was full and had no desire to eat anymore. Chen Qing tidied up and made a mark on the blood ginseng field.

There was a Blood Ginseng here, but Zhang Yangdao didn't see it in his medicine basket.

In the evening, Chen Qing sat in the Spirit Plant Hall and cooked a bowl of Spirit Ginseng Porridge. He hurriedly drank it and prepared to leave.

Li He came forward to report, "Hall Master, a disciple from the Shadow Hall has arrived."

Chen Qing gestured for Li He to bring the Shadow Hall disciple in. The Shadow Hall disciple came before Chen Qing, cupped his hands and bowed slightly, "Hall Master Chen, the Hall Master sent me to inform you that the trap has been set and the ambush is over."

"Please go over and be a witness."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand."

Although he could raise his Gu worms, what he lacked the most was battle experience. Right now, Carefree Mountain was besieging Zhang Yangdao, it was a good chance to gain battle experience.

With Feng Qi's meticulous nature, there shouldn't be any danger.

The Shadow Hall disciple continued, "Hall Master also told you to bring Yu Qingshuang along."

Chen Qing raised his eyes slightly, this was because he felt that Yu Qingshuang did not know how sinister people were and wanted to bring her to see the world.

The human heart was something that could only be seen with the eyes and not heard with the ears.

New book on the road, please read it, please recommend it, please collect it, please read it, please read it.

From the looks of it, everyone seems to like it.

Love you all!
