Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 75: Poor Brother Huang, Keeping a Secret for Me

With another two hundred and thirty middle grade spirit stones in hand, Chen Qing decided to go down the mountain to buy a strength Gu.

To buy strength Gu, it was best to go to Divine Fist Sect's territory. Divine Fist Sect was adjacent to Wutong Mountain and had been established for a hundred and fifty-three years.

It was said that the founder was in the indescribable mysterious realm above Foundation Establishment.

After Chen Qing came to this world, he had seen Foundation Establishment, but he had never heard of the realm above Foundation Establishment.

Yes, he had not even heard of the legends above Foundation Establishment.

This made him wonder if there were actually three realms in this world.

But from the scholar's tone, they were worshipping a Nine Tribulation True Lord.

Heavenly Master Manor had Heavenly Masters, Immortal Court had Heavenly Venerables, and Demon Race had Demon Kings.

But Chen Qing had rarely heard of the realms between Foundation Establishment and True Lord.

He had not even heard of them when chatting.

In Carefree Mountain, it was as if Foundation Establishment was the peak of cultivation.

After cultivating to Foundation Establishment, one's life would be complete.

Beyond that, it would be the indescribable realm.

Chen Qing felt that this was too mysterious.

But after thinking of Foundation Establishment's strength, Chen Qing guessed that the realm after Foundation Establishment would be extremely terrifying, possibly even reaching the level of Xumi Mountain Immortal Kingdom.

Actually, it was not incomprehensible. This was a Gu world, having high quality Gu worms was not a good thing, instead it was a path to death.

After all, spirit grade Gu worms would not die just because the host died.

Spirit grade Gu worms had a longer lifespan than Foundation Establishment.

A spirit grade Gu represented the prosperity of a sect for hundreds of years!

If not for the heavy killing in this world, a spirit grade Gu would be worth more than a million.

Divine Fist Sect's founder was rumored to be an existence above Foundation Establishment, but he had already passed away sixty years ago.

Chen Qing did not believe this at all. Foundation Establishment had a lifespan of two hundred years, and the lifespan of those above Foundation Establishment was definitely more than that.

But their founder had already passed away sixty years ago, he probably had not reached the realm above Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, Divine Fist Sect was only a force on par with Carefree Mountain now.

Divine Fist Sect had a large number of strength Gu sources, giving Chen Qing a choice.

Of course, the most important thing was that Huang Shengluan actually came to Divine Fist Sect's territory.

Chen Qing felt it would be inappropriate if he did not let them have a dogfight.

Look at how idle they are every day, unlike me, who only knows how to cultivate seriously and seek immortality.

He had to find something for them to do.

After explaining to the spiritual plants elder that he was going out to purchase spiritual plants, Chen Qing made some preparations before setting off.

Concealing his identity, he wore a bamboo hat and adjusted his cultivation to Qi Refinement Stage Five before coming to the market at the foot of Divine Fist Sect's mountain. Chen Qing rented a room at the inn opposite of Huang Shengluan and prepared to buy the strength Gu first before coming back to work at night.

After finding a Divine Fist Sect shop, Chen Qing stepped forward and said arrogantly: "I am Huang San Lang of Wutong Mountain, quickly take out the strength Gu, I want to choose a good one for my senior sister!"

The cultivators of the Divine Fist Sect looked at Chen Qing, who was wearing a bamboo hat, as if they were looking at an idiot.

Not only did he give such a precious gift to his senior sister, he even gave a Strength Gu to the female cultivator?

It was truly an eye-opener.

However, the Divine Fist Sect's cultivator did not say much and took out a total of sixteen Strength Gu for Chen Qing to choose from.

Chen Qing looked at them one by one, finally choosing a rank six strength Gu.

"How much is this?"

The Divine Fist Sect's cultivator said: "Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

Chen Qing was shocked: "Do you think my Wutong Mountain is stupid?"

The Divine Fist Sect's cultivator said: "On account of Wutong Mountain, I can give you a thirty percent discount."

Chen Qing said: "That's more like it, quickly wrap it up, senior sister will definitely like it!"

After Chen Qing paid and left, the Divine Fist Sect's cultivator was still mumbling to himself: "How did this fool cultivate to Qi Refinement Stage Five?"

Originally, Chen Qing was going to impersonate a Wutong Mountain disciple and snatch it, but after thinking about it, this method was too disrespectful.

Moreover, Divine Fist Sect did not provoke him, so he let it go.

After asking around, Chen Qing heard that Huang Shengluan had already stayed in the inn for three days, he was going to wait and see when this guy would leave. He would wait for a place with fewer people and finish him off.

Unfortunately, even after waiting for a day, Huang Shengluan did not come out!

Just as Chen Qing was waiting in confusion, at midnight, he saw a woman wearing white clothes and a veil enter Huang Shengluan's inn and close the door.

Xiang Bai Yu?

Why was this woman here?

At night, Chen Qing sneaked into Huang Shengluan's inn, but found no traces in the main hall.

He immediately used fog Gu and completely concealed his spirit qi, he turned into fog and flew to the roof, lying down in the darkness.

After a while, a Peace Cult disciple came into the inn and delivered food to the backyard.

"Is senior sister Xiang up there?"

"Hurry up, what time is it now!"

He immediately turned into mist and flew through the darkness. He landed on a beam in the backyard and looked through the skylight. Huang Shengluan was already covered in wounds and charred black. He didn't know if he was dead or alive, but he was covered in blood.

"Huang Shengluan, tell me where Tai Yi is and I will let you go!"

After a while, Chen Qing heard Huang Shengluan's weak voice. Thankfully, he was a cultivator, otherwise, he would not have been able to hear it.

"I really don't know."

However, Xiang Baiyu laughed and said, "How laughable. A few days ago, our spies found out that you had bribed Taiyi to hunt down the remnants of the Lotus Flower Cave!"

"Tai Yi really put in all his effort in that battle!"

"When we were fighting for the spirit Gu, he did not dare to charge into our formation of fifteen people!"

"But in just a few days, he killed nineteen people from Lotus Flower Cave. Among them, twelve were qi refinement level seven and above, two were qi refinement level eight, one was qi refinement level nine, and one had been cultivating for twenty-seven years!"

Huang Shengluan's originally dispirited eyes finally lit up. "You're saying that Tai Yi obtained the Spirit Gu?"

Xiang Baiyu sneered and said, "You're not stupid. So, you should understand now. Either you tell us how to contact Taiyi, or I'll let the entire Wutong Mountain be buried with him!"

Chen Qing was stunned.

Ah, this.

I was just saying it casually.

Poor Brother Huang, you have to keep my secret.

He was just naive and didn't know anything.

Xiang Baiyu walked up to Huang Shengluan and said, "I've already tortured you with thunder for three days, and you still refuse to talk?"

"What a tough nut to crack."

At this moment, Huang Shengluan also became more spirited. When it came to Spirit Gu, he truly felt fear.

The Taiping Cult was really willing to slaughter the entire Wutong Mountain for a Gu.

He forced himself to focus and said, "I really don't know. I've never told Taiyi that I was going to hunt down the remnants of the Lotus Flower Cave."

If he didn't explain himself now, his sect would really be annihilated.

He asked Whitefish, "Then why did Tai Yi chase after the people of the Lotus Flower Cave?"

Huang Shengluan looked up, his eyes full of confusion. "How would I know?"

Xiang Baiyu waved her hand, and immediately, someone brought over a Wutong Mountain disciple. She pulled out her sword and stabbed the unconscious Wutong Mountain disciple. "I'll keep killing like this until you talk!"

Huang Shengluan reached out and grabbed this Junior Martial Brother's hand, and found that his body was slowly cooling down.

"I really don't know!"

"Xiang Baiyu, if you want to kill someone, come at me. Don't touch my Wutong Mountain!"

Xiang Baiyu asked curiously, "What benefits did Taiyi give you that you're willing to keep his secret for him?"

Chen Qing thought that Huang Shengluan wouldn't say anything, but instead, he smiled mockingly. "Looking at the time, it should be almost over."

"I know where Taiyi is, but do you dare to go after him?"

Xiang Baiyu was stunned.

She suddenly felt danger.
