Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 87: I Have Wine, Do You Have Stories?

Denglong Street.

The reason why Denglong Street was called Denglong Street was because there were many lanterns.

As far as the eye could see, almost all the places on the street where lanterns could be hung were light yellow square lanterns.

It was said that when the new year came, these lanterns would all be red.

However, Chen Qing felt that these light yellow lanterns were more comfortable to look at. They were scattered all over the place like stars in the sky.

As far as the eye could see, whether it was the pavilions or the streets, everything was brightly lit without any blind spots.

This was for the convenience of the vendors here.

Chen Qing couldn't help but admire the owners of Denglong Street. They didn't collect spirit stones from these vendors.

There would always be people like Chen Qing who would come here, wanting to buy some cheap materials from the vendors.

However, how could real business be done in a group of wandering cultivators' stalls? In the end, one had to walk into the shops here.

Along the way, Chen Qing saw all kinds of materials. Red fruits, yellow flowers, green grass. It was a little dazzling.

Chen Qing wasn't too confident that he could find a thousand-year snake gallbladder here. After walking for an hour, Chen Qing finally saw a thousand-year snake gallbladder in a cultivator's stall that looked to be in his fifties.

Chen Qing picked up the jade box and opened it to take a look. Looking at the size, it was about 1200 years old.

Actually, a thousand-year snake gallbladder didn't mean that the snake had lived for a thousand years, but that it had a thousand years of cultivation.

Snakes were born with a long lifespan and it was extremely difficult for them to turn into demons. Moreover, snake demons had no hands, legs, or horns. They weren't very powerful among the demons.

Most demons were used to hand-to-hand combat, but snake demons were an exception. They cultivated and used spells to protect themselves.

Therefore, most of the Snake Demons were trying their best to improve their Dao, or in other words, their cultivation.

A thousand years of cultivation was just the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Seeing that the old man's stall had snake skin, snake meat, and snake spirits, Chen Qing guessed that they had worked together to kill a big snake.

"How much is this snake gallbladder?"

The old man glanced at Chen Qing and felt that Chen Qing had the spirit energy of a ninth level Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. He then said, "Three low-grade spirit stones a year."

It would cost about 4000 spirit stones to buy it at the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but here it was only 3600.

Chen Qing reached into his bosom and took out 36 mid-grade spirit stones and placed them on the stall. Then, he picked up the jade box and prepared to return home.

He had been in this world for more than two years, and no one had raised the price when he was buying things. It was really boring.

Chen Qing kept it in his sleeve and had the Snake Gu swallow it. He found a teahouse and listened to the news while drinking tea and waiting for the Snake Gu to digest it.

After drinking for two hours, he didn't hear much information. Almost all of it was what he knew.

Now, almost everyone was talking about him. Of course, they didn't know his name. They only knew that there was an evil cultivator who killed many cultivators in one battle.

According to them, the number of formation slashes he had received during the battle at Wutong Mountain had risen from nearly 100 to 300.

He could foresee that in a month or two, he would be able to achieve the achievement of killing ten thousand people.

But he didn't know where the Wutong Mountain and the Taiping Order got so many people.

He looked at the snake Gu in his sleeve, its progress had increased by thirty-six points. Based on this, he still needed to buy two thousand year snake gallbladders.

It required more than ten thousand Spirit Stones!

The cultivation of Spiritual Venomous Insects was indeed a trap.

If other people didn't know the cultivation materials, and it was a new Gu worm, unlike those big factions who knew the range of materials, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones to upgrade.

And with the Spirit Stones he had now, he was confident that he could transform the Snake Gu into a butterfly.

He went to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and bought two thousand year snake gallbladders. One of them was one thousand five hundred years old.

On the way back, Chen Qing walked into an alley. The wind blew gently, and he sensed that two people were following him.

However, before they reached a secluded place, the two people were pulled back by another person, who said softly, "A twenty-year-old ninth layer Qi Refinement cultivator. He's not someone you can afford to offend. Why are you chasing him? Are you seeking death?"

The two people who were following him were instantly enlightened. "A twenty-year-old ninth layer Qi Refinement cultivator. He must have killed countless people."

"Let's go. Don't provoke him."

Chen Qing walked in front. Sensing that the three people who were following him had left, he couldn't help but smile.

They weren't too stupid after all.

These days, Chen Qing had been buying the materials he needed to upgrade the Snake Gu. Wohu City wasn't like the market at the foot of Carefree Mountain, where only the Thousand Treasures Pavilion had a large stock.

There were many shops here.

He bought one type, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered even if he changed places.

There were many cultivators in Wohu City. With his ninth layer Qi Refinement cultivation, no one dared to have any ideas about him.

After spending eighty to ninety thousand Spirit Stones, the Snake Gu finally reached the ninth rank.

[Spirit Grade Snake Gu]

Quality: Ninth Rank

Lifespan: 1/360

Effect:

Snake Swallows Elephant: Can swallow large amounts of natural treasures, Spirit Herbs, and flesh. It can also quickly digest and absorb them to strengthen the body and raise the cultivation level.

It won't be stuffed to death by ordinary soulless food.

[Characteristics]: [Winter Storage] Can store nine items.

Growth Requirement: None

Growth Progress: 100/100

Advancement Requirement: A Moonless Night, One Mortal Sin Coin, Nine Wisps of Lightless Aura

The Lightless Aura could be bought. Chen Qing spent a total of thirty-six thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

The only problem now was that this was the Sinful Money of the Human Realm.

The Mortal Sin Coin referred to copper, silver, or gold that was stained with blood.

However, it wasn't difficult to stain it with blood. The difficult part was that it was stained with blood because of this coin.

It had to be the karma of life and death caused by this coin to be the real Mortal Sin Coin.

All the karma had to be related to this coin. That was the key.

Fortunately, he was only a seventh layer Qi Refinement cultivator now, so he could be considered a mortal.

However, he couldn't be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator far exceeded that of a mortal. He could no longer be considered a mortal.

However, he could create a Mortal Sin Coin.

However, Chen Qing wasn't very interested. He didn't want to be stained with this kind of karma, especially when it was needed for the advancement of his Snake Gu.

After the gathering, he would go to the Rare Treasure House to ask if they had any in stock.

Late at night.

Chen Qing wore the bronze grimace mask and appeared on the cloud platform again.

He sat there like a mountain. Ji Ru was the first to greet him. "Honorable Grand Primordium Senior, good evening."

She didn't greet him as formally as before. In the past, it was the first time they met, so she could be more formal. Now that they had met many times, it was easy to cause dissatisfaction among the others.

Xu Yaofeng, Murong Lang, and Hu Yao greeted him.

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Fu Luo, Red Lotus, Yao Feng, Scholar, good evening."

"Then, today's gathering shall begin now."

Fu Luo continued to ask about the materials needed for the advancement of her Lonely Shadow Sword Gu. Then, she took out a spirit Gu and asked Chen Qing.

To be honest, Chen Qing was a little jealous.

Were spirit Gu so easy to get now?

He only obtained one spirit Gu and was about to be chased to the ends of the earth. In the end, Fu Luo took out a third spirit Gu!

[Spirit Heart Gu – Yusu]

Quality: Sixth Transformation

Lifespan: 95/180

Effect: Understanding one's will, heart like jade.

[Characteristic]: [Meditative Forgetfulness] When cultivating, one can enter a meditative state, greatly increasing one's cultivation speed.

Growth requirement: Jade Bodhi

Growth progress: 0/100

Advancement requirement: Under the ten thousand year bodhi tree, eight stones from other mountains, one cup of enlightenment tea.

Looking at this lifespan, it should be a second or even third contract.

Spirit Gu could be contracted multiple times, but a second contract, did it not obtain an inheritance?

Was it stolen?

Chen Qing suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said plainly: "Jade Bodhi."

Fu Luo happily bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Tai Chu."

Saying so, she took two bags of middle grade spirit stones and placed them on the table.

She respectfully placed them down and displayed her rank seven light butterfly. "Senior Tai Chu, please guide me."

Chen Qing thought: Rank seven already?

It seems this girl's luck is really good, after her light butterfly advanced, she even found materials to advance by one rank.

Maybe it was because of her good luck that she succeeded.

"Yellow Beam Wood."

Murong Lang saw that Ji Ru had finished asking, so he displayed his sword butterfly and light butterfly and continued asking.

Hu Yao asked for the guidance of Copper Bone Gu.

Xu Yaofeng was probably still meditating at Yin Mountain, so he did not ask.

Seeing that no one was asking for guidance, Chen Qing said: "You can start chatting."

Murong Lang immediately said: "We prayed to the Nine Tribulation True Monarch again, but he still did not respond."

"But a new round of Dao Master competition has begun, we need to write records to display our talents."

"Now, many people are competing for the position of Dao Master. Miss Fu Luo, can you bring the Omnipotent Divine Book for me to look at?"

Ji Ru said: "The Omnipotent Divine Book contains too many Gu worms, can you remember them all?"

Murong Lang laughed: "Most of the cultivators here use thunder Gu and five element Gu worms, I only need the thunder Gu part this time."

"It is not normal to write too many records."

Ji Ru said: "Even if it is just the thunder Gu chapter, there are over a hundred pages, can you remember them all?"

Mu Rong Lang laughed, "No problem, I have the book Gu and have a photographic memory. I only need to look at it once and I can remember it all."

Ji Ru finally agreed, "You gave me a Light Gu last time, I don't know how to thank you. How about this, I will bring you the Thunder Gu chapter of the Divine Book next time."

Chen Qing sat there unmoving. He thought to himself that this scholar's mind was too flexible. He was going to start faking his academic achievements.

The Book of Divinity was definitely more reliable than the one they wrote themselves. With the help of the Book of Divinity, Scholar would definitely shine brightly in this competition.

That's good too. I can finally see them start to grow.

Seeing that Murong Lang and Ji Ru had completed the transaction, Xu Yaofeng slowly said: "Recently, we discovered traces of two Aurora Sect and Taiping Sect near Wohu City."

Although Chen Qing was expressionless, he listened attentively.

You were meditating in the Yin Mountain, yet you were able to hear such news?

Xu Yaofeng continued, "What we can be sure of is that Zhang Tai 'a of the Taiping Sect has already begun to pay attention to him and has sent an Immortal Attendant."

"It's very likely that a Spirit Gu has appeared. That's why Zhang Tai 'a sent people out."

Immortal Attendant?

Previously, he and Nie Fei had only met four altar lords. This Immortal Attendant is a person of the Dao Seed?

It seems that the crisis is not over yet.

I have to be careful.

Hu Yao asked: "What's an Immortal Attendant?"

Xu Yaofeng was also happy to answer this small question of a hundred thousand whys. "The Dao Seed is a prodigy with the potential to become an immortal, and the Immortal Attendant is their attendant."

Hu Yao said: "It's just an Immortal Attendant, what's so great about it?"

Xu Yaofeng said: "Not really. Immortal Attendants are people who have lost in the competition for the Dao Seed. In other words, before becoming an Immortal Attendant, they are qualified to fight against the Dao Seed."

Hu Yao continued to ask: "What's the background of those two Aurora Sect members?"

Xu Yaofeng said: "Currently, we only know that one of them is Nie Fei. He's the only person from the Aurora Sect active in that area.

Three years ago, Zhang Tai 'a once set up an ambush from ten sides. He didn't manage to take down Nie Fei. Instead, he suffered heavy losses. "

"This time, he probably wants to take down the other person."

Chen Qing thought: Isn't that me?

The world is really small.

After that, everyone stopped talking about important matters, instead, they began to care about Fu Luo's light butterfly.

With the wealth Fu Luo displayed, it was not hard to predict that Fu Luo's light butterfly would be rank eight in the next gathering.

After advancing to rank nine, it was Dao Integration.

Senior Tai Chu had already told Fu Luo about the requirements for advancing to Dao Integration. In the next gathering, they would be able to hear Senior Tai Chu play a song that did not belong to the past, present, or future.

Thinking of this, everyone began to look forward to it.

This would be the first time Senior Tai Chu displayed power comparable to his heavenly god authority.

Chen Qing saw that no one continued to speak, he said solemnly: "Then, this gathering is finally over."

Murong Lang took off the bronze mask on his face and walked to the window of the Scripture Pavilion. Looking at the seemingly endless tower, he thought: Does not belong to the past, present, or future.

Even a Nine Tribulation True Monarch did not have such a mystical description.

He turned around and returned to his desk. He opened an unwritten black iron book and took out a small knife, preparing to carve words on it.

As for copying books, he didn't mind at all.

How could the matters of scholars be called copying, it was called referencing!

What should he name this book?

In any case, it could not be called the Divine Book, nor could it be called Tai Chu Language.

Senior Tai Chu did not allow us to use his title.

He thought for a while, and finally, he carved out six golden words:

The Beginning of God, Thunder Parasite Chapter.

Chen Qing took off the bronze ghost mask on his face and counted the spirit stones he had obtained this time.

Hmm, four hundred and eighty mid-grade spirit stones, not bad.

After brewing a cup of tea, he began to carefully recall the people he had met in the past few days. No matter how hard he tried, he could not recall seeing anyone from the Taiping Cult.

What kind of methods did this so-called Immortal Servant have?

It seemed that he had to be more vigilant.

The next morning, Chen Qing ate a bowl of noodles and headed straight to the Rare Treasure House. He was prepared to inquire about the Sin Money of the Mortal Realm.

The Rare Treasure House had nine floors. The first floor contained some daily necessities for cultivation. It was not considered a rare treasure.

If he wanted to see a rare treasure, he had to go to the third floor.

Chen Qing found a servant in the third level of Qi Refining and said directly, "Take me to your manager."

Sensing Chen Qing's ninth level Qi Refining spiritual energy, the servant did not suspect anything. He quickly led Chen Qing upstairs to a tea room.

He sat down and smelled the fragrance of tea. Soon, an old man came in. This old man did not wear gold or jade. He only had a Wood Pixiu on his waist.

Chen Qing looked at the Wood Pixiu carefully. It should be a seven-colored wood. Just this small piece was worth thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The old man glanced at Chen Qing and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

Chen Qing raised his hand and took out a bottle of Spirit Ginseng Wine from his sleeve. He asked, "I have wine. Do you have a story?"
