Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 62: Close Arrangements, Worry-Free (Please read more)

The altar elder's face was old, but there was joy on his face at this moment. The battle at the frontlines must have gone smoothly.

"Chen Qing, you have done well."

"We are already old. Carefree Mountain needs young and bold juniors like you."

Chen Qing asked, "Elder, where are you heading to?"

The altar elder waved the food basket in his hand. "To deliver food to Gongsun Xiu."

Chen Qing was puzzled. "Senior Brother Gongsun?"

The altar elder said, "Ever since the Mountain Lord and the rest set off, Gongsun Xiu has been guarding the entrance of Carefree Mountain alone to prevent thieves from coveting our Carefree Mountain."

Chen Qing took the food basket. "Let me go."

The altar elder stroked his beard and smiled. "With juniors like you taking care of each other, our Carefree Mountain will definitely prosper!"

He laughed and left with a wave of his sleeves. Chen Qing carried the food basket to the entrance of the mountain.

Before he reached the entrance, Chen Qing smelled a thick stench of blood.

He looked at the entrance and saw that Gongsun Xiu was surrounded by blood. It seemed that there really were thieves who dared to covet the wealth of Carefree Mountain.

Gongsun Xiu sat on a large redwood chair. There was a sign on his left with a sentence written on it:

[Those who do not belong to Carefree Mountain and enter Carefree Mountain shall die!]

Chen Qing strode forward with the food basket in hand. Gongsun Xiu, who had always been a handsome and elegant young master, now had his hair tied up in knots, and there were still traces of blood on his body. His shoulders and back were covered in snow, and he looked extremely sloppy.

"Senior Brother, you have worked hard."

Gongsun Xiu took the food basket and started eating. "I heard that Junior Brother has returned. I have already sent people to cut off all the other iron chain bridges that lead to Carefree Mountain."

"Now, if outsiders want to enter Carefree Mountain, they will have to step over my dead body."

Chen Qing apologized. "I am sorry, I came back late."

Gongsun Xiu laughed heartily. "Don't take it to heart. We are brothers, so we are family."

"Who would have thought that a spirit Gu would appear in Sword Abyss this time? Who would have thought that Lotus Cave's Old Daoist Qiu Feng could not resist the temptation and exposed his strength?"

Chen Qing squatted down next to Gongsun Xiu and asked, "How's the situation at the front lines?"

Gongsun Xiu said, "Lotus Flower Cave knows that they are no match for us, so they have been fleeing. Wutong Mountain and our Carefree Mountain are pursuing them."

Only then did Chen Qing relax a little. "That's good."

Gongsun Xiu looked at Chen Qing seriously. "Junior Brother, now that I can't leave this place, I'll leave everything on the mountain to you."

Chen Qing replied, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I've already arranged everything."

After a while, the two of them saw Wang Ye leading more than ten disciples in the second layer of Qi Refining. They were all carrying medicine.

Chen Qing immediately said, "Don't get too close to the battlefield. All of you are only responsible for providing support!"

Everyone cupped their hands and said, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."

Chen Qing waved his hand. "Go!"

Seeing this, Gongsun Xiu nodded in satisfaction and began to eat in big bites.

Chen Qing stood up. "Senior Apprentice Brother, please continue. I will go back and get the disciples of the Beast Driving Hall who have just returned to the mountain to send medicine to the front lines."

He turned and left. After taking thirty steps, he looked back and saw Gongsun Xiu sitting in front of the white snow at the entrance of Carefree Mountain, unmoving like a mountain.

It was as if he could hold back ten thousand men with one sword, giving people a strong sense of security.

Not long after he returned to the Spiritual Plant Hall, a disciple came to report, "Hall Master, Xiao Zhong requests an audience!"

What was he doing here at this time?

"Please, bring me some tea!"

He wanted to see what he was planning.

Xiao Zhong directly said as soon as he entered, "I won't drink tea. I heard from Senior Brother Gongsun Xiu that you are in charge of the mountain now. I brought three carriages of medicine. Do you have a way to send it to the front lines?"

At this moment, Chen Qing looked at Xiao Zhong in a new light. "I'll give the order to the Beast Driving Hall disciples now."

Chen Qing had just walked out of the Spirit Plant Hall when Xiao Zhong's voice came from behind him. "Chen Qing, our conflict is Carefree Mountain's business. This is a family matter!

"When it comes to outsiders, I know the severity of the matter better than you!

"As long as Carefree Mountain exists, I exist!

"If Carefree Mountain doesn't exist, I, Xiao Zhong, will no longer exist.

"I'll leave the matters on the mountain to you. I'll go take Senior Brother Gongsun Xiu's place. He hasn't slept for three days and three nights."

After saying that, Xiao Zhong strapped a longsword to his waist and strode toward Carefree Mountain's entrance.

Late at night, Chen Qing stood at the entrance of Carefree Mountain's Shadow Hall. He looked at the boxes of longswords and large amounts of rations tied to the squirrels. When all five squirrels were fully loaded, he cupped his hands toward Sun Feiting and said, "Senior Brother Sun, please!"

Then, he turned to the Beast Driving Hall disciples who were riding tigers or white cranes and said, "Senior Brothers, please!"

Sun Feiting cupped his hands and said, "Hall Master, don't worry. We'll definitely complete the mission!"

He waved his hand and ordered, "Let's go. Take all the medicine from the mountain gate and send it to the frontlines day and night!"

Chen Qing watched for a while. When he saw the group of thirteen squirrels filled with medicine find a secluded place to dig a hole, Chen Qing finally relaxed.

Senior Brother Sun was almost fifty years old. He should be reliable.

He knew the direction of the underground caves near Carefree Mountain the best. He could open up a safe transportation route to the battlefield in the shortest time possible.

In less than fifteen minutes, he saw the thirteen squirrels enter the cave one by one. They had clearly opened up the underground passage.

Chen Qing returned to the mountain with satisfaction and walked directly to the mountain's main hall.

He had to stay in the main hall at the top of the mountain without rest. He had to deploy the weapons and rations as well as transport the medicine to the frontlines. He also had to maintain the stability of the mountain.

His senior brothers weren't here. Now, it was time for him to maintain Carefree Mountain.

After taking a few steps, Chen Qing remembered that his cave abode's location had been exposed.

There might be spies on Carefree Mountain.

With that thought, he turned back to look at the depths of the forest where Sun Feiting had dug the hole.

If the supplies were stolen, the frontline would definitely be unable to continue the pursuit. Wouldn't that mean that those bastards from the Lotus Flower Cave had escaped? There would be no end of trouble in the future.

The moment he thought about it, he started to think about the people he could use on Carefree Mountain.

Xie Dayou!

Because of his old injuries, he was not allowed to participate in the war!

Thinking of this, he immediately walked quickly to Xie Da's cave. "Senior Brother Xie, are you still at home?"

A moment later, Xie Dayou came out with a long robe draped over his shoulders and a lamp in his hand. "Hall Master Chen, what is the matter?"

Chen Qing quickly entered the room and reached out to grab Xie Dayou's hand. "Senior Brother Xie, I have an extremely important mission right now. Unfortunately, there is no one I can trust."

"You know the seniors and juniors in the Spirit Plant Hall. None of them are good at fighting."

However, Xie Dayou didn't allow Chen Qing to continue speaking. He patted his thigh and said, "Hall Master Chen, this leg of mine is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my livelihood long ago!"

"If there's anything you need, I will definitely not refuse. If there's any delay, I'll bring my head to see you!"
