Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 45 After this battle, you and I have no connection, and you have no connection with this world either.

Evening.

Chen Qing enjoyed a delicious meal, but didn't eat too much to avoid affecting his judgment in battle.

He tidied up his clothes and made sure he was in the most agile state.

He didn't wear any iron plates or armor on his chest or body. If armor was useful, why would anyone cultivate immortality?

He carefully checked his body, moved a little to make sure every part of his body was in the best condition.

He knew very well where his chance of victory was.

That was relying on the suddenness of the Mist Butterfly and the destructive power of his own Sword Butterfly, to end the opponent with a single sword before they could react.

If one sword wasn't enough, then he would use a second sword.

If two swords weren't enough, then he would use three swords!

If three swords weren't enough, then he would prepare to escape.

He prepared a medium-grade spirit stone to restore his spiritual energy, opened his hand, and looked at his Sword Butterfly.

[Mediocre Sword Butterfly]

Quality: Five-star

Lifespan: 12/150

Effect: Converts thirty-three strands of spiritual energy into sword energy of Gengjin

Characteristics: [Void Transforming Sword - Breaks] Transforms into Gengjin sword energy, cuts gold and jade, sharp and invincible

Growth requirements: Meteorite iron

Growth progress: 6/100

Promotion requirements: Unable to promote

He didn't know about other people's Sword Butterflies, but at least his Sword Butterfly required more and more spiritual energy for advancement.

Fortunately, he had been diligently cultivating recently and his cultivation had increased a bit, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use all three swords.

After coming down the mountain to the market, he walked around and basically found the position of the Shadow Hall disciple who was watching him in the market below the mountain.

He found a street where no Shadow Hall disciple was patrolling, walked into an alley, and lured the evil cultivator to attack him.

But after walking through several alleys, no one attacked him.

Not wanting to expose himself too much, Chen Qing wandered around the streets, more or less covering all the neighborhoods, and then returned to the mountain.

Back in his own cave, Chen Qing lay on the stone bed in the basement and said with a sigh, "What a waste of my caution, that damn bastard was actually scared!"

"Tomorrow, I'll come again!"

On this day, Chen Qing decided to listen to some music first, and after listening, he started wandering the different streets, buying materials.

Along the way, he seemed casual on the surface, but he was vigilant in his mind.

Still, no results.

Could that evil cultivator have become alert?

That shouldn't be!

Before he came, I also liked to go shopping!

Just find someone in the market below the mountain. Who doesn't know me, Chen Qing, the head of the Chen Clan?

Among all the Qi Refining disciples on Wuyou Mountain's third level, he was the one who liked to go down the mountain and wander around the most.

Of course, it was limited to the market below Wuyou Mountain.

Another day passed.

Chen Qing had his dinner as usual and went to the market below the mountain. He found an antique shop and bought a string of old keys.

As soon as Chen Qing entered an alley, he saw a pitiful woman with blood stains on her jade-like legs.

She seemed to be around thirty years old, the most mature age.

In the hazy night, her enigmatic appearance made her even more alluring in her translucent clothes.

"Fellow cultivator, please help me, there's an evil cultivator!"

Chen Qing calmly walked towards the woman while slowly clenching his right hand inside his sleeve, ready to summon his void-transforming sword at any moment.

It's late at night, and she's dressed like this. Not to mention an evil cultivator, even a righteous cultivator won't be able to resist!

Chen Qing had a sense of his appeal to women. Besides Yu Qingshuang's faint interest in him, no other woman had shown interest in him.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't really think about this matter.

If he had thought about it, he would have realized that it was not that there were no attractive women interested in him.

It was just that the high-level figures in the Wuyou Mountain clearly wanted to match him with Yu Qingshuang, so who would dare to interfere?

Let's not talk about that.

Chen Qing approached the woman while staying on guard against any sudden attack.

Once I'm within three steps of you, I'll strike!

Unfortunately, things didn't unfold as Chen Qing had predicted. When he was about five steps away from the woman, she waved her hand.

A large cloud of red powder flew into the air, attempting to envelop Chen Qing!

Chen Qing immediately transformed into mist and passed through the dispersing red powder, using his phasing technique to pass through the woman's body.

As he landed, he already held a four-foot-long blade in his hand, a shiny green Gengjin sword aimed at the woman!

Now is the time to use the move I've been practicing for four months!

Four months of hard work and the insights gained from observing battles are all in this sword!

Three words stand out.

Fast, accurate, ruthless!

This horizontally-slashing sword had a wide range of attack and made up for his lack of swordsmanship skills.

The woman turned a step back, her eyes flickered with a fierce gaze. She unsheathed her sword, and sword energy wrapped around the blade, planning to defend against Chen Qing's fierce attack with her own sword-bound sword energy.

Clang!

Plop!

The person and the sword were both severed with a single strike!

Blood rained down as an arm flew into the air. Chen Qing didn't even blink his eyes. He followed with another sword aimed at the woman's head, piercing it completely.

After confirming that the woman was no longer breathing, he relaxed his grip and let the Gengjin sword dissipate in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, he captured a sword bug and a wind bug.

Looking at the battlefield again, even he was startled.

He had split the woman from her right shoulder to her left armpit!

The sword broke and the person died!

Both of her arms were severed by Chen Qing's sword.

After this sword, you and I have no more entanglements.

He whispered in his heart.

He crouched down, quickly searched the woman's belongings, and regardless of what they were, he put them in his pocket first.

After taking the items, Chen Qing immediately used his phasing technique to move to another alley, then turned into mist and flew out of this side of the alley, appearing in another street.

Taking advantage of the lack of attention from the surroundings, he strode towards the direction of the Bright Moon Tower.

He reserved a private room, and Chen Qing let out a sigh of relief, slumping into the chair.

I killed someone!

From now on, I am no different from the cultivators in this world.

She attacked first!

Well, that's not important.

It seems that the impact on my mind isn't particularly significant.

I don't even feel disgusted or want to vomit, even though she was gruesomely divided by my sword.

It must be Ye Yuntian's influence that has desensitized me!

Oh well, I won't think about these unhappy things.

He picked up a glass of water wine, drank it down, and started to seriously analyze the battle today.

Under normal circumstances, cultivation and the quality of spiritual insects go hand in hand.

After all, cultivators usually spend half a day practicing and the remaining time making money and cultivating insects.

So, normally, if a cultivator's cultivation level is high, then the quality of their insects should be decent.

If their cultivation level is low, then their insects would definitely be mediocre.

But he was an exception. The quality of his insects was surprisingly high!

In normal battles, there would be a process of exchanging blows, and in this process, cultivation level becomes crucial.

The higher the cultivation level, the longer the combat effectiveness.

The difference between me and them is that although I may not be able to last long, each of my strikes is fierce!

In a one-on-one duel, perhaps I am very strong, after all, the opponent couldn't even receive my sword. But what use is a high cultivation level if I can't find an opportunity to use it?

But if it's a group battle, I'm still not capable enough.

But unfortunately, cultivation cannot be improved in a short time.

In this case, I can only cultivate more insects that do not rely on cultivation level.

Like the Strength Insect and the Iron Skin Insect, which don't rely much on cultivation level. I should cultivate a few more.

Even if my spiritual energy is exhausted, I will still have the ability to fight back!

With this thought in mind, Chen Qing finally decided to see what treasures he had obtained from killing people and taking their belongings.
