Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sky was filled with flying snow, densely packed like flying cotton.

Amidst the boundless snow, Chen Qing reached out to hold onto the tree trunk beside him. His breathing began to quicken.

A new spirit gu!

It really was a new spirit gu!

Not only could it rapidly raise cultivation and physique, but it could also store items!

Most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in this world were old, at least fifty years old.

With this snake gu, Chen Qing was confident that he could reach the ninth level of Qi Refinement within one or two years, and reach Foundation Establishment within thirty years!

In the two years he had been in this world, Chen Qing had never heard of a treasure that could store items. It was an extremely valuable ability!

Moreover, it already had such power at the first rank. After it evolved, it would definitely have more powerful characteristics, not to mention Dao Integration!

But what was the meaning of greed?

Soon, Chen Qing understood the meaning behind it.

The commotion here was too big, and many itinerant cultivators smelled something fishy.

Two itinerant cultivators saw that the black snake was covered in blood and rushed up with their swords.

They wanted to snatch the spirit gu while everyone was still watching!

Unexpectedly, the black snake only opened its mouth wide, swallowing the two cultivators who leapt into the air in one gulp.

After a while, Chen Qing saw that the snake gu's growth had increased by one point. It was probably digesting.

Was it human greed?

These two itinerant cultivators were blinded by greed. Two mere fifth level Qi Refinement cultivators dared to rush up. Weren't they just two greedy people?

It seemed that they could wait for a while and let the snake swallow more. They could capture it after it advanced to the second rank.

The Sword Abyss seemed to have been set ablaze as layers of thick black smoke rolled out. The Sword Ghosts wielded their rusted swords and rushed toward the giant snake.

The black snake scuttled into a valley and dashed out, leaving broken trees and flying rocks in its wake.

A large number of cultivators watched, as if hoping that the Sword Ghosts could worsen the snake's injuries.

The black snake was blind now. Although it could not see its surroundings, it relied on its instincts to sense danger and rushed out of Sword Abyss.

The Sword Spirits were like maggots that latched onto the giant snake's body, and the swords in their hands continued to descend.

Chen Qing watched from afar, It was like ants hunting a Beast.

The scales on the snake's body were peeled off piece by piece. Fresh blood flowed out, dyeing the snow-white ground red.

Bai, Xiang Baiyu, who had been looking for Chen Qing. "Taiyi, what do we do now?"

Chen Qing glanced sideways and saw six seventh-level Qi Refinement cultivators. It seemed that this was the limit of the Taiping Order in this area.

After all, the Taiping Order was only active in this area and was not a local force.

Looking at the distant Carefree Mountain, Wutong Mountain, and Lotus Cave, almost all the cultivators of the War Hall had been mobilized.

"Let's observe first and wait a little longer."

Chen Qing had already begun to observe carefully. The strength of those sword ghosts was uneven. They were powerful because of their formless nature.

The snake controlled by the Snake Venomous Insect couldn't deal a fatal blow to them. Unfortunately, the attacks of those sword ghosts were only equivalent to low-level Sword Venomous Insects.

Fortunately, the sword ghosts' sword energy was almost endless, which could continue to wear down the snake's combat strength.

The battle between the sword ghosts and the black snake became more and more intense. The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a meat grinder. Everywhere the sword ghosts and the snake passed by, it was a mess.

In this situation, anyone who went up would die.

Seeing that the serpent was already a mile away, the Sword Ghosts that were left behind gave up. They were no longer as aggressive and wanted to return to their Sword Vermin.

Seeing that the sword ghosts had already returned to the Sword Abyss and that the black snake was still ferocious, Huang Shengluan couldn't hold back anymore. He drew his sword and said, "Fellow Daoists, the snake is still ferocious. We can't do anything to it!"

"Rather than letting it go and letting it go, it's better to attack now!"

"Its eyes are blind. It must have lost its sense of direction. We'll force it back to the Sword Abyss and let the sword ghosts continue to fight it!"

"Only then will we have a chance to take the Gu!"

The surrounding cultivators looked at each other. Apparently, they were waiting for their respective leaders to give the order.

Ye Yuntian and the Lotus Fairy watched from afar with their men. In the end, their gazes focused on Xiang Baiyu of the Taiping Order.

Ye Yuntian, the Lotus Fairy, and Huang Shengluan had been fighting for a long time. Everyone knew that, but Xiang Baiyu and Chen Qing were ferocious tigers that had suddenly appeared.

They were worried and wanted Chen Qing and Xiang Baiyu to express their stance first.

Chen Qing crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned to the side of the battlefield. He said in a hoarse voice, "Do as he says."

Xiang Baiyu hesitated for a moment, but she saw that Chen Qing had already jumped down from the tree and was looking at her with burning eyes.

Helpless, Xiang Baiyu could only grit his teeth and unsheathe his sword. "Let's go and beat the snake back to the Sword Abyss!"

Xiang Baiyu was the first to jump out. His whole body was covered in dazzling lightning. He quickly rushed to the front of the huge snake and condensed a dazzling lightning in his hand. He then hacked towards the huge snake.

Seeing that the Taiping Sect had already moved, Huang Shengluan, the one who suggested this, quickly led the others to charge forward. In an instant, five or six beams of sword energy flew in front of the huge snake!

The people of the Lotus Flower Cave and Carefree Mountain no longer hesitated. More than twenty cultivators drew their swords in unison. Beams of sword light lit up and attacked the huge snake.

In an instant, dozens of Sword Ghosts and over forty cultivators began to surround and kill the huge snake!

The cultivators blocked the serpent's path while Sword Demon pursued it from behind.

Cranes rose into the sky, and eight people rode them. In the sky, their fingers were like swords as they shot out Sword Qi!

On the ground, dense Sword Qi poured down like a torrential rain. Every now and then, a cultivator would turn into mist and fly away from the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to strike.

When they found a good opportunity, they would go up and attack again. They did not fight to the death.

Chen Qing drifted outside the battlefield and observed the situation.

Although the cultivators attacked fiercely, the huge snake seemed to know that they could not enter the Sword Abyss. It only charged outside with its head lowered.

The battle became more and more desperate. A cultivator was accidentally injured by a Sword Ghost and was then swallowed by the huge snake, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing that they could not block the huge snake's path and that more and more Sword Ghosts were returning to the Sword Abyss, the cultivators who had already entered the battlefield became more anxious and attacked more viciously.

But at this moment, the huge snake suddenly opened its mouth and spat out countless rusted swords and a large number of poisonous snakes. Among them, there was even an object shining with green light!

A female disciple of the Lotus Flower Cave had her face cut by the glowing object. She looked at the object stuck in the ground and exclaimed, "A sword insect!"

"It's a sword insect!"

Chen Qing cursed inwardly. The snake insect had actually brought out a sword insect!

In the next moment, three cultivators rushed toward the green light, no longer caring about the huge snake.
