Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 42: Light Gu's Secret

The pig head was wearing a silver mask, it was strange no matter how one looked at it.

But he did not take it off, he walked past the gold and jewels on the ground and arrived in front of the old man.

The old man was sitting at a place where the light could not reach, he was smoking and pushing a golden scale to the center of the jade table.

"What do you want?"

Xu Yaofeng sat down in front of the old man and said: "Cold moon true essence."

The old man's eyes flashed with a crafty light: "This is not something cheap."

He picked up the teapot and poured it on a toad-like tea pet. As the water flowed, the tea pet actually came to life.

The old man patted the table: "Go, take a cold moon true essence."

The toad jumped on the table. Its tongue grew longer and circled around the pile of treasures. Finally, it stuck to a sparkling, jade-like gem that looked like a pomelo grain and landed on the table.

The old man took the cold moon true essence and placed it on his side of the scale.

"What else do you want?"

Xu Yaofeng continued: "A spirit grade vajra Gu that has been contracted once."

The old man rubbed his hands: "This is rare, but fortunately, vajra Gu is not a rare species, I can find it here."

He stood up and rummaged through the chests and cabinets, taking out a jade jar from a broken cabinet and placing it on his side of the scale.

After placing the two items, the old man's side of the scale lowered: "Since you dared to come here, I believe you have a treasure that can move these two items."

He suddenly laughed: "You should know the consequences of not being able to move these items, right?"

He grabbed the toad, Xu Yaofeng could clearly see that the old man's hand, under the illumination of the light, was only a pile of bones.

Once it shrunk back into the darkness, it would be full of flesh and blood again.

If the items he brought were unable to move these two items, they would still be returned to him.

But he would need to stay here and repay the debt like the toad, until he repaid it.

Xu Yaofeng placed the jade jar containing the spirit grade vajra Gu on his side of the scale.

The scale moved again, swaying several times, but in the end, Xu Yaofeng's side seemed to be heavier, and the scale lowered steadily.

The toad at the side looked at the old man expectantly, as if it was waiting for the old man to slap down the tray on his side.

The old man spun the scales. "Take your things and scram."

The toad was dissatisfied. It croaked and pointed its claws at Xu Yaofeng.

It was as if he was saying: I wasn't like this back then!

The old man flicked his sleeve and sent the toad flying into the dark river.

The sound of the toads died away for a while.

Xu Yaofeng took the Cold Moon True Essence and the jade jar containing the Vajra Gu that he had contracted once and stuffed them into his bosom.

When he left the Peach Blossom Cave on a small boat, he once again landed on dry land.

He turned around and saw that his reflection in the water had returned to his original appearance.

Looking around, there was no peach tree forest.

Looking back, there was no cave where the underground river flowed.

He appeared and disappeared unpredictably.

Xu Yaofeng sneered in his heart. Fortunately, he was a member of the Extreme Light Sect.

Old Man Blackheart still had to give face to the Extreme Light Sect and didn't dare to make a move on him.

If it were someone without a background, they would probably end up like the toad or the rat.

He took a few steps forward, and the sunlight suddenly poured down, causing his eyes to hurt slightly.

Midnight.

Chen Qing sat down in the underground stone room and wore the bronze ghost mask.

When he appeared at the gathering, the other three had already arrived.

He habitually placed his right hand on the table, his index finger tapping the table from time to time.

"Today's gathering begins now."

The first to speak was Xu Yaofeng, he showed his light butterfly, "Senior, is there anything I need to pay attention to when advancing my light Gu?"

Chen Qing thought, didn't I say it already?

To not lose his cool, he added, "Full moon, cloudless sky, your light butterfly needs to be illuminated by the moonlight."

Of course, this was just Chen Qing's guess, but it should not have much effect.

Actually, Chen Qing was looking forward to this fellow's light butterfly's advancement, he wanted to see what effect it would have after advancing.

Speaking of which, did Yao Feng obtain cold moon true essence?

Chen Qing had never heard of this thing, it should be hard to obtain.

But Yao Feng was foundation establishment, he should have more connections.

Murong Lang asked: "Can the light butterfly continue to advance?"

Xu Yaofeng said: "I heard from the higher-ups in the sect that the light butterfly can continue to advance, after advancing, it can become a spirit grade Gu."

Murong Lang was clearly shocked, "Spirit grade Gu can advance using light butterflies?"

Xu Yaofeng nodded, "But it is very troublesome to advance, the cost is high, if not for senior Absolute Beginning, my light butterfly might not be able to advance for the rest of its life."

Murong Lang nodded, "A treasure like cold moon true essence is indeed not easy to obtain."

Hu Yao suddenly asked: "Scholar, didn't you say you were about to reach foundation establishment?

Have you prepared your vital Gu? "

She was about to reach foundation establishment soon, so she was very concerned about this.

Among the people at the gathering, Xu Yaofeng and Murong Lang had higher cultivation than her, they knew more.

Moreover, senior Absolute Beginning was here, it was not wrong to ask more.

Murong Lang looked at Xu Yaofeng, "Leader, what is the meaning of foundation establishment?"

Xu Yaofeng glanced at Chen Qing, seeing that he did not move, he said: "Foundation establishment, foundation establishment is Dao foundation establishment, heaven and earth has Dao, the Great Dao manifests as Gu."

"Thus, you need a Gu worm as your vital Gu."

"The stronger your vital Gu, the stronger your Dao foundation."

"Cultivators who use spirit grade Gu as their foundation will have more spirit qi than those who use mortal grade Gu as their foundation."

"With senior Tai Chu around, I recommend you use light Gu as your vital Gu."

"Of course, I have to remind you, even if light Gu is rank nine light butterfly, it can only emit light."

Murong Lang became silent. It was obvious that he was weighing the gains and losses.

The benefits were obvious, with light Gu as his vital Gu, even if he reached rank nine light butterfly, there was still hope of advancing.

The disadvantage was also obvious, before the light Gu advanced to spirit grade, there was almost no benefit.

Before that, a lot of investment was needed.

Thinking of this, Murong Lang secretly glanced at Chen Qing.

But with Senior Absolute Beginning around, this investment didn't seem so exaggerated.

Hu Yao was clearly moved, "But how do we find light Gu? I have never seen a light Gu in my entire life!"

Murong Lang, however, said: "Where I am, there are many Light Gu, but after many people contract with it and discover that it only has the ability to emit light, they put it aside."

"There are large numbers of light Gu in the Lightning Blessed Land, and the price is also very cheap."

Hu Yao asked: "But how do I know which light Gu I need?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment before speaking at the right time, "I know a thing or two in this aspect."

He could see the materials needed to advance light Gu, and from the materials, he could deduce to a certain extent.
