Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 74: Consecutive Breakthroughs

Spirit Seizing Flower after Spirit Seizing Flower entered his stomach. This cultivation state where his entire body was overflowing with spirituality allowed Chen Qing's cultivation speed to be comparable to that of a god!

His cultivation continued to climb. In just a short two hours, Chen Qing could feel that his cultivation had increased tremendously.

At this rate, he would soon reach the sixth level of Qi Refinement!

The spiritual energy in his body surged. Every inch of his flesh and blood was growing greedily!

Another two hours passed. Chen Qing's aura shook and a wave of spiritual pressure spread out. He was now at the sixth level of Qi Refinement!

There were still many Spirit Seizing Flowers left. Chen Qing did not want to slack off. He wanted to see if he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement!

After a sleepless night, Chen Qing chewed on the last Spirit Seizing Flower petal. "Seems like I'm just a little bit away from the seventh level of Qi Refinement."

If he continued cultivating like this, he would definitely get addicted.

But he was just a step away!

Forget it, he would buy another ten Spirit Seizing Flowers and see if he could break through the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

He was about to reach the seventh level of Qi Refinement!

The seventh level of Qi Refinement was considered a rare expert in the pugilistic world. It was the backbone of a sect.

At night, Chen Qing went down the mountain again. He spent twelve thousand low-grade spiritual stones to buy ten Spirit Seizing Flowers.

According to the female cultivator at the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he had already bought all the Spirit Seizing Flowers.

Chen Qing could not help but feel disappointed.

If he wanted to continue cultivating, he could only buy other spiritual herbs. Unfortunately, they were not as effective as the Spirit Seizing Flowers.

But fortunately, the Blood Ginseng he planted was about to mature.

When the time comes, he could secretly swallow a batch to improve his cultivation!

On his way back, Chen Qing passed by the War Hall. They were in the middle of a meeting. Seeing Chen Qing pass by, they did not avoid him and continued their discussion.

"Wutong Mountain seems to have sent out a spy recently."

"I don't know where he went."

"Is there a need to guess? They must have sent him to us!"

"The matter hasn't been investigated clearly. Don't meddle."

Chen Qing returned to his cave abode and lay down in the stone room, eating the Spirit-Seizing Flower bit by bit, treating it as a snack.

It seemed that he had to find a chance to kill Huang Shengluan.

There was no other reason except that Chen Qing was not familiar with the others.

Moreover, Huang Shengluan's status was not low. If he died, Wutong Mountain would be in chaos for a few years.

In the past, it was always Carefree Mountain that was passively defending, which annoyed Chen Qing to no end.

This time, Chen Qing decided to take the initiative to attack. Who knew when this little brother of his would come out.

It wouldn't be nice to kill him in front of so many people in his home.

It was better to let him die outside with dignity.

After eating three Spirit Seizing Flowers in a row, Chen Qing felt that the time was ripe to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. He hurriedly got up, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate seriously!

Gathering all the Spiritual Qi in his body, he continuously attacked the seventh meridian in his body.

There were a total of ten layers of Qi Refining, which referred to the ten meridians in the body.

Every time he opened a meridian, it meant that he had broken through a layer, and there was an additional meridian in his body that could accommodate spiritual energy.

However, most people wouldn't refer to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining realm as the tenth layer of the Qi Refining realm. Instead, they would call it the completion of the Qi Refining realm.

Once all ten veins were broken through, all ten meridians would be connected, and spiritual energy would circulate continuously within the body. This was known as the Small Heavenly Cycle, also known as the Qi Refining Realm's consummation.

Chen Qing unceasingly attacked the final bottleneck of the seventh meridian. The spirit qi in his body was like a great river that constantly attacked the bottleneck.

Two hours later, Chen Qing opened his eyes. "It's still not enough, but I feel that it will be soon!"

Looking at the remaining seven Spirit Seizing Flowers, Chen Qing grabbed them and began to eat them in big mouthfuls.

He might as well break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in one go!

After eating seven Spirit Seizing Flowers, Chen Qing felt that his body was full of Spiritual Qi, and the Spiritual Qi in his body seemed to be boiling!

He focused all his attention and began to attack the bottleneck seriously.

The Spiritual Qi in his body was endless. Every time Chen Qing used up a large portion, new Spiritual Qi would be replenished!

And the seventh meridian also began to loosen under the continuous impact.

Chen Qing was overjoyed and immediately worked even harder!

Continuously charging, continuously charging, his divine sense could even feel the sound of the spirit qi in his body colliding with his meridians.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The spirit qi in his body immediately entered a whole new place!

Qi Refinement realm level seven, breakthrough!

Chen Qing's body rippled with air waves, this was the spirit pressure in his body now was different.

Opening new meridians did not expand the dantian by too much, the important thing was the spirit pressure, which was the purity of the spirit qi.

When spirit qi enters the body from the outside, it will be compressed through the meridians, the more meridians it passes through, the purer the spirit qi.

Thus, at different levels of Qi Refinement realm, the spirit pressure in the body would be different, this was also the main basis for determining cultivation.

Using the remaining medicinal effect, Chen Qing continued to open up the seventh meridian and stabilized his cultivation at the same time.

After stabilizing his cultivation for four hours, Chen Qing opened his eyes and used fog Gu to adjust his spirit pressure to Qi Refinement realm level four. He lay down and prepared to welcome a new day.

Finally, he had cultivated to Qi Refinement realm level seven.

Although this cultivation speed was extremely fast, the spirit stones could not support it.

Qi Refinement realm level eight was not urgent, when he harvested the spirit ginseng and blood ginseng, he could have a full meal and might be able to breakthrough to Qi Refinement realm level eight.

The remaining spirit stones would continue to upgrade wind Gu and iron skin Gu, and find a strength Gu.

Strength Gu was very cheap, much cheaper than tyrannical Gu like sword Gu, only seven to eight thousand low-grade spirit stones, the remaining spirit stones were enough.

Second month.

Chen Qing was busy in the blood ginseng field, instructing the spirit plant hall disciples to continue watering the spirit beast blood.

Last night's gathering did not talk about anything important, Yao Feng and Scholar's spirit stones were almost all squeezed dry by him.

Red Lotus could not hide his money as usual, buying a rank five copper bone Gu for Chen Qing's guidance.

He earned a small profit of twenty middle grade spirit stones.

Actually, to the demon race, copper bone Gu was better than iron skin Gu.

Claws and teeth were also a type of bone.

To the demon race who were skilled in close combat, copper bone Gu was not only a defensive Gu, it was also an offensive Gu.

It had both offense and defense, thus it was very valuable to the demon race.

Red Lotus also had the money to buy one after getting Fu Luo, this rich person.

What made Chen Qing even more surprised was that after the fortune network's fortune Gu evolved into fortune butterfly, it finally began to seek guidance from other Gu worms.

It was a Sword Insect, but it was not an ordinary Sword Insect, but a Spirit Grade Sword Insect.

[Spiritual Grade Sword Gu – Solitary Shadow]

Quality: Seventh Revolution

Life span: 78/270

Effect: Condense twenty wisps of spiritual energy into a wisp of Solitary Shadow Sword Qi.

Special Feature: Sword Nurturing Technique. Seven Solitary Shadow Swords can be nurtured in the body and used as flying swords.

Growth requirement: Night Ghost core

Growth Progress: 5/100

Upgrade requirement: 5 Image Creation Stones, 7 Space Essences, 1 Sword Coffin

Spirit grade sword insects were indeed extraordinary. They were only Rank Seven, but they were already more powerful than his Rank Nine Sword Butterfly.

According to Chen Qing's guess, the so-called Solitary Shadow Sword Qi and Solitary Shadow Sword were very likely formless, and their might might not be inferior to his Geng Metal Sword.

Seeing such a treasure, Chen Qing could only sigh. "It's really a treasure."

Of course, in front of the Fortune Butterfly, everything seemed so pale and powerless.

After the blessing butterfly evolved into a butterfly, it had no special characteristics. Even the description of its effects had not changed.

But such a strange Gu worm was unfathomable, Chen Qing did not dare to say that the butterfly transformation was useless. Only the user would be able to feel the changes within.
