Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 86: Crouching Tiger and Immortal Attendant (Two in One)

Nie Fei picked up a jade box and opened it. It was just a blood ginseng, so he tossed it aside. "Hurry up. Let's finish looting and burn it!"

Chen Qing liked Nie Fei's way of doing things.

Chen Qing sensed the space in his Snake Gu. It should be enough to store two boxes of treasures.

If there was nothing particularly valuable, he could only take some low-grade spirit stones.

After a round of looting, Chen Qing and Nie Fei were disappointed. This Taiping station was too poor.

There weren't any precious treasures, and it was even worse than Wutong Mountain.

But it made sense. This station didn't have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it should be poor.

Life was unpredictable, and not everything went according to plan.

Chen Qing had no choice but to fill his space with low-grade spirit stones. He picked up a box of spirit ginseng and chewed as he walked.

Nie Fei turned around and spat fire, igniting a large amount of spirit ginseng wine. He only caught up when the fire was burning. "You like chasing us, huh? Let's see if you're still going to chase us!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, they rushed out of the cave entrance of Taiping's encampment. The two of them saw dozens of Taiping disciples fighting with the prisoners by the lakeside. Chen Qing patted Nie Fei's shoulder as he watched the commotion. "Let's go!"

Nie Fei nodded. The two flew toward the forest in the distance.

It was Chen Qing's first time traveling, so he didn't know much about the outside world. "Where are we going next?"

Nie Fei said, "I'm going to look for a deity ground. Are you coming?"

Chen Qing knew there must be treasures when he heard the name. But to be honest, he didn't really care about treasures right now.

He urgently needed a stable environment to digest what he had gained.

These spirit stones and spirit herbs could greatly improve his strength, and he could even cultivate the Great Kui Sword Scripture to perfection.

Moreover, the deity ground must be dangerous. He didn't have Nie Fei's transformation technique, which allowed him to go anywhere with ease.

Chen Qing shook his head. "I want to meditate and digest what I've learned recently."

Nie Fei said, "Alright then. Sigh. I'm actually a bit reluctant to leave after looting like this."

Chen Qing smiled. "We'll meet again someday."

Nie Fei said, "Alright. I'll draw a mark. If you see it, you'll know I'm nearby."

Chen Qing memorized the mark that Nie Fei had drawn and nodded. "Remember to use materials that have disappeared for different periods of time."

Nie Fei smiled. "Isn't that common sense?"

"That's right, if you want to find a safe place to go, I recommend you to go to Wohu City. Find a caravan and follow them south."

"Our Aurora Sect can only find peace and quiet in the south."

Chen Qing asked, "Do you have any specific places to go?

Like our Aurora Sect's encampment in the south? "

Nie Fei shook his head. "Our Aurora Sect doesn't have a base. The world is our home. The sky is our blanket and the earth is our seat!"

"The world is so big, where can't our Extreme Light Sect go?"

Chen Qing asked again: "Where did you get that mirror Gu?"

Nie Fei was not afraid that Chen Qing would become greedy. He smiled and said, "This is a unique treasure in the world. You won't be able to find another one."

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm leaving!"

Chen Qing watched as Nie Fei transformed into a goshawk and flew away. He said softly, "We'll meet again if fate allows!"

Three days later.

February 12th.

In front of Wohu City.

Chen Qing slightly lowered the bamboo hat on his head and came to the city gate. He paid five low grade spirit stones and walked into the bustling Wohu City.

At this moment, he was wearing a capable blademaster outfit and a bamboo hat covering his face.

It was the disguise of an ascetic who roamed the pugilistic world.

Wohu City's prosperity shocked Chen Qing. There were no stalls here and it was mostly filled with tall buildings.

There was a lake in the city and the lake was filled with waterside karaoke platforms.

However, there was no scene of gold everywhere and jade as tiles.

After asking around, he found out that if he wanted to find stalls, he had to go to the chaotic Lantern Street.

Chen Qing first went to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and bought the materials needed to upgrade his Gu worm. He also bought a rejuvenation Gu. Next, he went to the notice board to see if there were any caravans going south.

Coming to the notice board, Chen Qing first saw his and Nie Fei's arrest warrant.

Nie Fei was actually worth more than him?

His bounty was two hundred thousand low grade spirit stones while Nie Fei's was three hundred thousand low grade spirit stones.

But thinking that Nie Fei's Mirror Gu was a unique Gu worm, he was relieved.

That Mirror Gu was extremely mysterious. It could turn into a person or an insect to escape or a mutated beast to fight. It could be said to be both offensive and defensive. It was indeed an incomparably precious Gu worm.

Looking at the notice board, there were indeed missions to recruit experts to escort caravans. But almost all of them were going to Da Wu or Western Desert.

It seemed he had to wait a little longer. Spending a hundred low grade spirit stones and renting a courtyard, Chen Qing decided to wait for a caravan going south.

Wearing a bamboo hat and walking on the street, Chen Qing kept feeling that someone was looking at him from time to time.

Glancing around, he was the only one who was wearing a black veil in broad daylight. It was rather eye-catching.

Entering his rented courtyard and closing the door, Chen Qing thought to himself: This courtyard is really expensive!

When I used grass spirit Gu to earn money, it was only about two hundred low grade spirit stones a month. This lousy courtyard actually cost a hundred low grade spirit stones!

This is simply daylight robbery.

Fetching a bucket of water from the well, he placed it in the bathtub. Chen Qing took out the vermillion fruit and placed it in the bucket for a while before the water heated up.

Lying in the hot water, Chen Qing took a comfortable bath, relieving his exhaustion.

After soaking for four hours, Chen Qing came out of the bucket and started to treat his wounds.

He knew his wounds could not come into contact with water, but now that he was a cultivator, there was not much of a problem.

The main reason was that he was too tired during this period of time and needed to relax.

After cleaning his wounds, he prepared to contract the rejuvenation Gu.

The rejuvenation Gu was extremely expensive, even more expensive than fog Gu, costing thirty-two thousand low grade spirit stones.

But thinking that he was alone outside and could only rely on himself, he decided to buy it.

Otherwise, if he could not find a doctor after getting injured, it would be too easy to get into trouble.

Moreover, he still had one thousand six hundred middle grade spirit stones on hand, enough for him to spend for some time.

With the rejuvenation Gu, his continuous battle strength would greatly increase!

After contracting the rejuvenation Gu, Chen Qing immediately poured his spirit qi into the rejuvenation Gu and started to heal his wounds.

Under the effect of the rejuvenation Gu, bits of warm green light landed on his wounds, immediately making him feel like he was covered in frost.

Chen Qing carefully felt the changes, but found an awkward point.

This rejuvenation Gu was not a Gu worm that could regrow flesh and bones from the dead, its method of operation was more like accelerating the healing process.

That is to say, it would expend lifespan to a certain extent.

It seems this rejuvenation Gu could not be used too often, it was best to only use it at critical moments.

Of course, he still had to continue to raise its quality, the higher the quality, the faster the recovery.

Feeling that his wounds were almost healed and would not affect his movement, he did not continue to use the rejuvenation Gu.

The rest would depend on his own recovery ability, it was better to use the rejuvenation Gu sparingly.

He had the snake Gu and iron skin Gu, his body was far stronger than ordinary qi refinement seventh stage cultivators, almost comparable to qi refinement ninth stage cultivators.

Chen Qing did not intend to raise his cultivation now, before his injuries healed, forcefully cultivating would only worsen his injuries.

He opened his hand, the snake Gu coiling around his fingers.

[Spirit grade snake Gu]

Quality: Rank two

Life span: 1/220

Effect:

[Snake Swallows Elephant: Can devour a large amount of natural treasures, spiritual herbs, flesh, and blood, and quickly digest and absorb them to strengthen the physical body and improve the cultivation base.]

He wouldn't be stuffed to death by ordinary soulless food.

[Special Feature]: [Winter Storage], can store five items.

Growth requirement: Thousand Year Snake Gall

Growth Rate: 0/100

Promotion requirements: a moonless night, one coin of evil in the human world, nine wisps of lightless breath

After seeing the profundity of mirror Gu, he treasured his snake Gu even more.

Spirit Gu were far stronger than mortal Gu!

The Snake Gu could quickly devour and grow, and it needed to evolve. Now that he had close to two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, he could turn the Snake Gu into a butterfly!

If the snake Gu transformed into a butterfly, his strength would definitely increase greatly!

Thinking of this, he walked out of the room and decided to buy a thousand-year-old snake gallbladder first.

It was at this moment that the headquarters of the Taiping Order had just been cleaned up.

Zhang Ke, Grandmaster Wang, and Ling Jiu knelt by the lake in front of the station. Behind them were all the disciples of the Taiping Cult who were still alive.

Although the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up, there was still a strong smell of blood.

They lowered their heads and waited quietly, extremely respectful.

It wasn't until two hours later that four bronze men carried a bronze palanquin across the lake in front of them.

The bronze men walked on the lake like the wind, showing no signs of sinking.

There was a small wooden pavilion on top of the palanquin, covered by a white veil.

At the four corners of the wooden pavilion, there were four beige square lamps.

The four bronze men carried the palanquin and stopped in front of Grandmaster Wang. Grandmaster Wang immediately led everyone to bow: "We greet immortal attendant!"

A clear female voice came from the palanquin: "Zhang Ke."

Zhang Ke immediately knelt and bowed: "Please instruct me, immortal attendant!"

The woman in the palanquin asked: "You were greedy because of the spirit Gu, that's why you only reported it now."

Zhang Ke knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

The woman continued, "Now, you've caused the Taiping Order to lose an elite, looted our base, and killed many disciples. How long are you going to hide this?"

Zhang Ke wanted to raise his head and speak, but when he thought of this woman's identity, he couldn't help but tremble.

The status of an Immortal Attendant wasn't high, but the person behind her was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Zhang Ke closed his eyes as if accepting his fate. "I was greedy. I wanted to capture Taiyi and give him the spirit gu to the Daoist Seed."

Hearing this, the woman in the palanquin said after three breaths, "Wang Li, Ling Jiu, why didn't you report it?"

Wang Li knelt forward and reported, "Reporting to Immortal Attendant, when we received Zhang Ke's message, the battle had already begun. Before I left, I asked Wen Jingming to report it. Unfortunately, we were ambushed by those two Aurora villains."

Ling Jiu said respectfully, "Immortal Attendant, we didn't expect there to be two Aurora villains. If that strange fellow hadn't appeared out of nowhere to disrupt the situation, we would've captured Taiyi!"

The woman's clear and crisp laughter came from the palanquin. "Hehehe, that person is called Nie Feng. Even the Daoist Seed can't do anything to him. You actually tried to capture him?"

"You really don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

Zhang Ke hurriedly said, "I also saw that Taiyi had just obtained the spirit gu. I wanted to take it before he cultivated it, so as to prevent it from getting out of hand!"

The woman's soft shout came from the palanquin. "The situation is already out of hand!"

Zhang Ke said, "Reporting to Immortal Attendant, I know that Carefree Mountain and Taiyi are likely to be in cahoots. We just need to attack Carefree Mountain."

The immortal attendant shouted angrily, "Enough!

Do you really want to make a big fuss and attract the lackeys of the Great Liao? "

"Carefree Mountain and Wutong Mountain are both righteous sects. The Great Liao won't care about their conflict, but once our Taiping Order interferes and the lackeys smell the spirit gu, they'll all die!"

"Look at Carefree Mountain and Wutong Mountain. They both know that Taiyi took the spirit gu, but none of them revealed this information!"

"They're not even as small as two gravel sects."

Seeing that his punishment was going to be extremely miserable, Zhang Ke hurriedly said, "Immortal servant, I'll go after Taiyi and capture him!"

The Immortal Servant laughed disdainfully, "Then are you going to kill Wang Li or Ling Jiu this time?"

Zhang Ke fell to his knees, trembling all over.

The immortal servant continued, "The people of the Extreme Light Sect are not people that trash like you can deal with."

"You can kill ordinary cultivators with a flip of your hand, yet you dare to underestimate the Extreme Light Sect?"

She announced the final verdict. "Dao Seed Order: Wang Li, Ling Jiu, for failing to report what they knew, failing to respond properly, and failing to do their job well, will be demoted to Substitute Altar Master."

Wang Li and Ling Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Their lives were saved, and the punishment wasn't too severe.

The immortal attendant continued, "Zhang Ke, I order you to quickly head to the Eagle Dock in the territory of the Southern Dawn Kingdom and wait for orders.

Let's prepare for war. The battlefield there needs to be filled with more lives. "

Zhang Ke's straight waist slowly bent down. He felt weak all over and his eyes were filled with despair.

The bronze men carried the Immortal Servant into the fort. Wang Li and Ling Jiu hurriedly brought their men and followed, leaving behind Zhang Ke, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Wang Li asked as he walked, "Lord Immortal Servant, how are we going to deal with those two Extreme Light villains next?"

The Immortal Servant said angrily, "Don't you understand?

Even if Nie Fei has the Dao Seed, he can't do anything to him! "

"To capture someone like Nie Fei, you need an opportunity!"

"You don't know what it means to travel a thousand miles alone, Extreme Light villains."

"If we can capture one Taiyi and offer it to the Dao Seed, it will be a great merit!"

Ling Jiu said, "Please give your orders, Immortal Servant!"

The Immortal Servant said, "Go to Wohu City and arrange for a caravan to go south. Don't let anyone know that it's you who arranged it."

Ling Jiu asked in confusion, "Why?"

The Immortal Servant said coldly, "Just do as you're told. There's no need for so many whys!"

The sun rose, and Chen Qing slept until the sun dazzled his eyes. This sleep was really comfortable.

After a long battle and a long raid, he was exhausted. This sleep finally allowed him to recover.

He had eaten too many spirit herbs earlier and was not hungry at all. Chen Qing picked up his bamboo hat and thought for a while before taking off the black veil that covered his face.

There were so many people, and he was the only one wearing a black veil, it would be too conspicuous and easily attract the attention of others.

In any case, when he was at Carefree Mountain, he would only go to the market at the foot of the mountain, and no one in Wohu City would recognize him.

Wearing a bamboo hat to cover half of his face should be enough.

Wearing the bamboo hat, Chen Qing went out and walked towards Lantern Street. That was the free market, he would first go and see if there were any thousand-year-old snake gallbladders.

If there were, he would buy one and see how much progress he could make before going to Myriad Treasure Pavilion to buy it.

As he walked, he suddenly realized that he had been affected by Red Lotus' personality recently. He felt uneasy carrying too many spirit stones on him.

It would be better to spend some of them. In that case, he would raise the Snake Gu to butterfly transformation and see if there were any special changes.
