Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

This time, the sword only needed to be unsheathed and did not need to be sheathed.

Four days of traveling.

They were all from the same sect, so it was not tiring at all. In fact, it was a pleasant trip, as if they were enjoying the spring scenery.

Ye Yuntian had always been in charge, but this time, because of his shyness, he became an obedient follower, following behind He Ming.

He Ming was indeed an experienced man. Everything was in order, and there were no disturbances along the way. They arrived at Qingsong Mountain easily.

Carefree Mountain had just destroyed the Lotus Flower Cave, and this time, the four Hall Masters personally led the team. No evil cultivators came to seek death.

Sitting on the back of the red-crowned crane and looking at Qingsong Mountain in the distance, the whole mountain was quite strange. It was as if a huge elephant's tusk was sticking out of the ground, and Qingsong Mountain sat on the highest point of the tusk.

From afar, it was densely packed with pavilions and waterfalls. It was quite a fairy-like place.

Riding the red-crowned crane, they landed in front of Qingsong Mountain's gate and reported their purpose. In less than ten minutes, five people came down from the mountain.

The person in front looked to be in his thirties. He had a square face and wore white clothes. His eyebrows were slender, and the bridge of his nose was high. He did not look like an immortal cultivator, but more like a scholar.

This person was the leader of Qingsong Mountain's younger generation, Xie Baoshu.

Xie Baoshu was very happy to see He Ming and Ye Yuntian. "Senior Brother He, Junior Brother Ye's arrival is really an honor to Qingsong Mountain."

His gaze shifted to Shen Ao and Chen Qing. The two of them stood at the front with He Ming and Ye Yuntian. Obviously, they were also of high status.

"These two young Junior Brothers are obviously young heroes. Senior Brother He, why don't you introduce them to me?"

He Ming pointed at Shen Ao and smiled. "This is Junior Brother Shen Ao. He's only twenty-seven years old, but he's already at Qi Refining Stage Eight. His swordsmanship has reached perfection. He's the Deputy Hall Master of the War Hall of Mount Asoka!"

Shen Ao smiled and stepped forward, saluting Xie Baoshu. "Junior Brother Shen Ao greets Senior Brother Xie."

Xie Bao Shu's eyes flashed with admiration, "Moving like the wind, standing like a pine tree, a good seedling for practicing the sword, very good!"

He Ming reached out and pulled Chen Qing forward, introducing him. "This is Chen Qing, the Hall Master of Mount Carefree's Spirit Plant Hall. He's only 22 years old and is the pillar of Mount Carefree!"

Xie Bao Shu's eyes lit up as he took a few more glances at Chen Qing. "I've long heard that the Spirit Plant Hall's Hall Master of Mount Carefree is extremely young and already possesses a Grass Spirit Butterfly at such a young age. Now that I've seen him, he's truly extraordinary!"

Chen Qing cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Xie, you flatter me. I see that Senior Brother Xie is a dragon among men!"

Xie Bao Shu laughed heartily and led everyone up the mountain.

He Ming took two steps back and whispered to Yu Qingshuang. Then, he came forward and led everyone up the mountain.

Qingsong Mountain was filled with trees, and there were quite a few thousand-year-old pines. Even Chen Qing felt that they were extraordinary.

The stairs under his feet were full of pine needles. When he stepped on them, he could hear soft rustling sounds. It was quite comfortable.

Chen Qing followed for a while. Just as he was marveling at how interesting the path was, he discovered that Yu Qingshuang had walked to his side.

Noticing that Chen Qing was looking at her, Yu Qingshuang said, "What, am I wronging you by walking with you?"

"If Senior Brother He didn't ask me to come, I wouldn't have come."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "It's naturally best that Senior Sister is accompanying me."

"I've never liked to go out. With Senior Sister accompanying me, I'll always feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Yu Qingshuang's expression became better.

Chen Qing silently looked at Senior Brother He Ming in front of him. He understood He Ming's intention. This was to prevent Qingsong Mountain from having any ideas about him, Chen Qing.

Arriving at the main hall at the top of the mountain, they followed the ancient pines and climbed up. Only then did they reach Qingsong Mountain's main hall.

Looking at such a huge tree, Chen Qing was also shocked. It was really strange that a main hall could be built on this tree.

Of course, because this main hall was built on a tree, it was much smaller than Mount Carefree's main hall.

Before entering the main hall, He Ming pulled Chen Qing to the side and whispered, "Junior Brother Chen, when it's time to present the gift later, you'll be the last to present it."

Chen Qing nodded lightly, indicating that he understood. Only then did everyone enter.

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord sat on a wooden chair surrounded by pine branches. There were even new pine needles on this wooden chair. Clearly, they were still alive.

As for this Qingsong Mountain Lord, he looked a little old. His white beard reached his waist, and he sized up Chen Qing and the others with a pair of bright eyes.

Before they sat down, Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord coldly shouted, "Who is Ye Yuntian?

Step forward! "

Ye Yuntian stepped forward cautiously. He straightened his chest and stood forward like a sharp sword.

Ye Yuntian was tall and had a heroic appearance. Now that he stood like this, he looked even more heroic and extraordinary.

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord sized him up for a few dozen breaths before saying leisurely, "You're the one who wants to marry my granddaughter?"

Ye Yuntian cupped his hands and said, "Mountain Lord, when this disciple was young and traveling, I met Junior Sister Xie by chance. We fell in love at first sight and traveled the world together.

Now that the matter of Carefree Mountain has been settled, I've specially come to ask for your hand in marriage! "

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord immediately emitted a dense ripple of Foundation Establishment spiritual qi, but Chen Qing and the others did not sense it at all. Clearly, it was targeted at Ye Yuntian alone.

After a whole thirty breaths, Ye Yuntian still did not move. Only then did Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord disperse the spiritual pressure with a wave of his hand. "Your cultivation is passable, and your appearance is passable."

Ye Yuntian was slightly delighted. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord say, "Get out. Go stand outside!"

Ye Yuntian sighed and glanced at He Ming. He walked out of the hall helplessly and stood at the entrance.

Chen Qing watched on silently. He had no idea what was going on, but looking at senior brother He Ming's appearance, it seemed like nothing had happened. He immediately felt much more at ease.

This was his second time directly facing the might of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He could not help but sigh inside. Was this really something a Qi Practitioner could stand up to?

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Yuntian stepped out, Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord smiled and waved his hand for Xie Baoshu to lead Chen Qing and the others to sit down on the seats to the left.

On the right were the hall masters of Qingsong Mountain's various halls.

After another round of introductions, Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord smiled amiably. "As expected of the young talents of Carefree Mountain. Yu Qingshuang has already grown up, and Chen Qing is not bad either."

After a round of praises, they began the lengthy etiquette. First, He Ming took out a letter of appointment and began to describe how Ye Yuntian and Xie Yuchu were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

After a full seven minutes, they began to present their gifts.

Cranecry was the first to step forward and present his gift. "Carefree Mountain's Beast Driving Hall, specially prepared a pair of wild goose parasites!"

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord nodded slightly.

Then, Shen Ao stepped forward. "Carefree Mountain's War Hall, specially prepared a pair of sword parasites!"

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord still nodded slightly.

Then, Yu Qingshuang led the other Carefree Mountain disciples forward and began to present some expensive daily necessities such as medicine cauldrons, swords, blankets, and spirit fruits.

After everyone had presented their gifts, it was finally Chen Qing's turn. He strode forward and opened his brocade box, revealing a blood ginseng that was as thick as a teacup.

"Carefree Mountain's Chen Qing, specially prepared nine blood ginseng!"

Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord stood up and picked up one of the blood ginseng, examining it carefully. "How many months has it been?"

Chen Qing replied, "Less than nine months!"

Hearing this, Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord laughed heartily. It was less than nine months, and it already had such strong medicinal properties and spirituality. His granddaughter would not have to worry about cultivation resources after marrying into Carefree Mountain.

"Hahahaha, come, let's start the banquet!"

"I want to properly entertain the young talents of Carefree Mountain!"

Everyone was overjoyed. This meant that the matter had been settled.

Just as they were about to sit down, they heard Qingsong Mountain's Mountain Lord's voice again. "Bring a table for Ye Yuntian. Let him eat outside!"

Chen Qing laughed inwardly. This was because he cared for his granddaughter, so he did not like his grandson-in-law.

Chen Qing came to Ye Yuntian's side and said softly, "Senior Brother, take care. There will probably be worse things tonight."

Ye Yuntian shook his head helplessly. However, when he thought of being able to bring home a beauty, especially one he liked, he smiled.

At night, Chen Qing's prediction was correct. They were all staying in the best guest rooms on Qingsong Mountain, but Ye Yuntian was different.

The Qingsong mountain lord had only given Ye Yuntian a straw mat and told him to find a place to sleep.

Chen Qing had just returned to his room when he heard the chirping of a girl outside his room. It sounded like she was playing with water.

Just as he was about to go out and see what Qingsong Mountain was up to, Yu Qingshuang's voice came from behind him. "Does it sound good?"

Chen Qing asked curiously, "Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Is something nice to hear?"

Shen Ao, who was next to Yu Qingshuang, said, "Don't worry about that. Junior Brother Chen, come quickly. There's a good show to watch!"

Chen Qing followed him out and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ao pretended to be mysterious and said, "Come quickly!"

After following the two around Qingsong Mountain twice, Chen Qing suddenly saw Senior Brother He Ming lying on the wall, watching with great interest.

Just as Shen Ao was about to speak, Crane turned his head, raised his finger, and blew gently in front of his mouth to signal for silence.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing, Shen Ao, and Yu Qingshuang jumped lightly and silently lay on the wall. Under the cover of the pine tree branches, they followed Crane Ming's gaze.

Under the hazy moonlight, Ye Yuntian was lying on a straw mat in a pavilion with holes on all sides. There was a straw in the corner of his mouth.

Just as Chen Qing was about to ask what was there to see, he saw a graceful girl walk in from the courtyard door in the distance. She was dressed in white and her face could not be seen clearly under the moonlight. However, just by looking at her figure, one could tell that she was extremely beautiful.

The girl held two quilts in her hands and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, she came to the pavilion.

"Yuchu, why are you here?"

"You slept here. I was worried that you would catch a cold."

"Yuchu, you're so good to me. You're the best girl I've ever met."

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course. I've never lied to you."

"Then be careful. Grandpa just doesn't like you on the surface. In fact, he still agrees to our marriage."

"I know. For you, I'm willing to suffer more!"

"Of course I know how you feel."

"Yuchu!"

"Darling Ye!"

The four people on the wall were laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Ye Yuntian had such a bold personality. When had they ever seen him like this?

The next morning, Crane Ming and Xie Baoshu continued to discuss the marriage until noon. After everything was finalized and they had a banquet, they set off for home.

Chen Qing and the others pretended that nothing had happened and left Qingsong Mountain. Not long after they rode the red-crowned crane, Crane Ming said, "Junior Brother Ye, Qingsong Mountain is really extraordinary. We saw a lot of strange things last night!"

Ye Yuntian asked curiously, "What strange things?"

Shen Ao said, "Junior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Yu, why don't you perform?"

Chen Qing chuckled and began his performance. "Yuchu, why are you here?"

Yu Qingshuang said, "You're sleeping here. I'm worried that you'll catch a cold."

"Yuchu, you're so nice to me. You're the best woman I've ever met."

"You really think so?"

"Of course. I've never lied to you."

"Then be careful. Grandpa just doesn't like you on the surface, but he actually agrees with our marriage."

"I know. For you, I'm willing to suffer even more!"

"Of course I know how you feel."

Ye Yuntian's face turned even redder. "You guys are too much!"

However, He Ming said, "It's broad daylight. We didn't do anything immoral. We just happened to pass by. It's not like we were spying on you."

Ye Yuntian's face was burning red. He couldn't say a word.

Immediately, loud laughter rang out from the entire group, spreading between heaven and earth.

The next evening, it was raining.

Under Crane's arrangement, they came to a mortal town. It was not easy to travel because of the rain, so they decided to rest here for the night.

Seeing them riding on cranes, many mortals hurriedly avoided them. They knew that they were cultivators and couldn't be offended.

After booking a place to stay at an inn, Crane suggested, "I know there's an elegant place here where dancers are good at dancing. I wonder if Junior Brother and Junior Sister are interested in coming with me to take a look?"

Yu Qingshuang was also there, so it must be vegetarian.

Everyone thought that it was rare for them to come out, so it was fine to go see the mortal world.

Knowing that this group of cultivators was going to watch the dancers dance at Wangshu Restaurant, Wangshu Restaurant quickly cleared out all the other guests and arranged the best seats for them, which was the opening ceremony.

It was drizzling outside the restaurant, but inside the restaurant, there was a soothing sound of music.

As the music played, it became more and more murderous. The pipa and guqin sounded together, and the strings of the pipa moved like a sword out of its sheath.

Everyone just listened quietly and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Presumably, the shop owner thought that cultivators preferred this kind of passionate music.

As the sound of the zither became more and more passionate, ten bolts of red silk fell from the roof. A graceful woman in red with a veil on her face appeared, and there was a lotus mark on her forehead.

He waved his sleeves and said to Chen Qing and the others, "May I borrow the Immortal's sword for a dance?"

He Ming smiled and raised his hand. A long sword flew out and stuck in front of the dancer. The dancer raised her hand and pulled it out. She immediately danced.

The beauty's dance was like a spinning lotus flower. Her soft body stepped on the ground like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. The long sword in her hand danced frequently, fully displaying her voluptuous and seductive figure.

Chen Qing, on the other hand, looked at this woman cautiously, feeling that she was somewhat familiar.

Yu Qingshuang saw that Chen Qing was entranced and asked, "Is it really that good?"

Chen Qing quickly glanced at Yu Qingshuang's chest and then looked away.

Indeed, I don't have as much capital as you.

"It just looks a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Yu Qingshuang snorted. She heard the dancer draw a line on the ground with her sword and the sound of metal. Only then did she look over.

The dancer's movements were graceful, and the veil on her body fluttered down one by one. As she danced, she used her sword to carve a pattern on the tiles on the ground.

When the pattern was finished, everyone clearly saw that it was a lotus flower. The woman's veil also fell down.

Seeing this woman's face, everyone stood up in shock. "Why is it you?"

The woman's eyes were blood-red, and three drops of blood flowed out. She smiled tenderly and said, "This dance will send you all on your way!"

After she finished speaking, the entire Wangshu Building suddenly fell apart, turning into pieces and falling to the ground.

He Ming suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, He is dead!"

Everyone drew their swords and chopped away the broken tiles and wood above their heads. The entire building was completely destroyed, exposing them to the rain.

From all directions, more than ten people in black with swords on their backs jumped out.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Their swords were unsheathed. There were still traces of blood on the tip of the swords, dripping into the rain. The scabbards were thrown into the rain.

This only meant one thing.

This time.

The swords were unsheathed, not sheathed.
