Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 89: Snake Gu Transforming into Butterfly!

After feeding the Gu worms, Chen Qing took his sword and went out. He ordered a table of good dishes at a restaurant beside the courtyard where the caravan was staying, and ate while glancing at the caravan from time to time.

But he did not discover any special movements.

Only that transport rat did not look tired at all, as if the goods it was transporting were not very heavy.

Was it transporting Gu worms?

No, if it was a Gu worm, it should be carried on its body.

Looking at the leader of the caravan, he was only a middle-aged man around forty years old, and did not look like he traveled frequently.

Although he was very amiable when dealing with people, it seemed a little too pretentious.

Too deliberate.

Was this the immortal servant's method?

It was too easy to decipher.

Chen Qing had thought of going to the south alone, but it was too easy to be exposed alone, following the caravan would save him a lot of trouble.

He paid the bill and went downstairs, heading out of the city gate.

It was better to go to the southern Jin Prefecture City first.

It was closer to Nan Li, and there were more caravans going south.

Setting off alone, Chen Qing pressed down on his bamboo hat, and quickly walked through the mountain stream.

Jin Prefecture City was different from Wohu City, Wohu City was a mountain city, while Jin Prefecture City was a water city.

Jin Prefecture City was situated on Nine Bend River, and large amounts of rivers converged into Nine Bend River. Chen Qing was not afraid of going in the wrong direction, as long as he followed the river, he would eventually reach Jin Prefecture City.

Following the river, Chen Qing quickly walked through the forest.

He had wanted to wait for the light Gu to transform into a butterfly and advance to rank nine before continuing his journey, but due to the matter of the spirit Gu, he had to go somewhere else now, it could only be said that the affairs of the world were unpredictable.

After walking for three days, he met a southbound merchant ship at the pier, Chen Qing paid the fare and stayed in a guest room.

After following the ship for three days, he arrived at Jin Prefecture City.

Chen Qing stood at the bow of the ship, looking up at this huge city on the water, sighing. After all, this was the cultivation world, there were all sorts of strange things.

The base of this city was made of floating cloud wood and undecaying profound iron, floating on Nine Bend River.

Jin Prefecture City was not always here, it would change with time, and the city lord would give the order to move downstream.

Thus, Jin Prefecture City was actually an extremely long and narrow city.

There were copper platforms on the shore, and copper locks locked the pavilions floating on the water.

Rather than calling it a city, it would be better to call it an enormous market that was pieced together by thousands of boats.

It wasn't flood season yet, so they hadn't started migrating.

Jin Zhou City's commerce was far more prosperous than Wohu City's. Caravans came and went continuously, stretching for miles.

Chen Qing even saw a few young girls dressed in black, revealing their fair arms and calves, wearing gorgeous silver accessories.

Women from the Great Hou Country liked colors that were similar to green. Women from the North liked white, while women from the West Desert liked red and yellow.

Only southern women liked black.

Nanli was black, Chong Xuan was fond of silver, and Bai Miaoshen was fond of blood and flesh.

Chen Qing looked at the Southern Li girls laughing and joking as they left. He suddenly thought of something.

He bought some old silver jewelry, found a secluded place, and disappeared into the mist. When he came out again, he was already wearing a straw hat, a silver tiger-buckled belt, and carrying a millstone-sized huge axe of a hundred pounds on his back.

She didn't tie her hair up and let it fall to her waist. She tied a white tiger clasp at the end of her hair.

He was already a genuine handsome man from the Southern Li Empire.

Compared to the clothes she wore before, it was less dignified and dignified, but more forthright and unruly.

Since the caravan he found could be the work of the Taiping Cult, he could ask these Southern Li girls to introduce him to a caravan going south. Wouldn't it be easy to avoid the Taiping Cult's trap?

It took Chen Qing three days to reach his destination. At this moment, he was a little hungry. He found a shop with many Nanli people and walked in. He called out, "Shopkeeper, bring me a roasted lamb. I want a green lamb."

"And give me five jars of your strongest wine."

The surrounding people all glanced at Chen Qing. After seeing the White Tiger buckle on his waist, they finally understood what was going on.

Only the most outstanding warriors in the tribe were qualified to wear the white tiger clasp. No wonder he could eat so much.

Yes, Southern Li judged a man based on how much he could eat and how much he could drink.

A man who could eat and drink was a hero.

Chen Qing drank wine and ate meat in big mouthfuls. He felt refreshed.

He had the snake gu. Not to mention this bit of wine and meat, he could eat ten more carts.

After eating the meat and drinking the wine, Chen Qing wiped his mouth and found a Southern Li girl holding a basket in front of him looking at him curiously.

Chen Qing smiled, "Little sister, what are you looking at?"

The Southern Li girl blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Brother, you can eat so much."

She placed the basket of golden apricots in front of Chen Qing, "Brother, after eating the wine and meat, eat some fruits to get rid of the smell."

Chen Qing didn't stand on ceremony. Southern Li people didn't like etiquette.

He picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. The girl also picked up one and ate it. She bit the core and ate it before spitting out the residue.

Chen Qing also bit into the core of the fruit and ate the kernels before spitting them out.

The girl was satisfied, "You are indeed from Southern Li. You eat the apricot core."

The girl sat beside Chen Qing and asked, "Brother, how long have you been away? When do you plan to return to Southern Li?"

Chen Qing said, "I plan to find a caravan from Southern Li and return with them."

The girl's eyes shone, "Grandpa said that a caravan from Southern Li will pass by in a month. Brother, do you want to come to my house?"

Chen Qing thought that Southern Li people were too enthusiastic. He agreed and went to the girl's house. They agreed that she would call him when the caravan arrived.

31st February.

Chen Qing left the dock he rented and walked on the main road for a while before turning into a forest. He found a valley tens of li away and waited for night to fall.

Because there was no moon, the night was very dark.

Chen Qing sat beside a small river, quietly waiting for his snake Gu to evolve into butterfly.

The Snake Gu lying on his shoulder also sensed the changes in heaven and earth and froze. After four hours, it crawled out of the ground, and it was already one size bigger.

In addition to becoming bigger, it also grew a pair of wings.

Not the wings of an insect, but wings.

Feathered snake?

Previously, it looked like an ordinary little snake. Now, the snake butterfly looked a little more mystical.

[Spirit grade snake butterfly]

Chen Qing had seen the devouring ability of the Snake Gu when he contracted it, but he didn't expect it to be possessed by a butterfly.

He immediately condensed a fireball in his hand. With a sweep of his sleeve, the fireball disappeared instantly.

He tried for a while. After using up all his spiritual energy three times, he couldn't collect it anymore.

He thought about it. If he encountered the Taiping Cult's God Summoning in the future, he seemed to be able to collect a large hand with a wave of his sleeve.

He felt his sleeve and probed with his divine sense, but it was as if he had entered a bottomless abyss.

Could the snake butterfly be a door, a door that led to the bottomless abyss?

He didn't know what would happen if he was taken in.

He shook his head and gave up on this idea. Day by day, he was thinking about silly things.

He tried again. It would be restored in about two hours.

He immediately recalled the scene of hundreds of sword energies in the Foundation Establishment realm. If he faced such an attack next time, he was confident that he could take three moves with the World in Sleeve!

It was taking three moves, not dodging three moves!

Now, he could completely subdue ordinary magical combat cultivators!

The other party's spells were almost useless against him.

This was the strength of the Spirit Gu!

He caught another rabbit and tried again. It couldn't be collected.

It seemed that living things couldn't be collected.

The first day of March.

Chen Qing sat in the guest room of the dock and looked at the rushing river outside the window. He began to think about what song to teach Fu Luo tonight.

He didn't remember many ancient songs. Other than the Water Dragon's Roar, High Mountain and Flowing Water, there were only Spring White Snow and Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.

Phoenix Seeking Phoenix was obviously not suitable. Spring White Snow would be fine.

After tonight, at the next gathering, he would be able to find out who he really was.

Music scores and whatnot were obviously thinking too highly of him. He only remembered those songs.

In the middle of the night, Chen Qing put on the bronze grimace mask.

As usual, he sat in his seat, looking as calm as a lake. He glanced around and saw that all four of them had arrived.

After a short greeting, Chen Qing said, "Now, the gathering begins."

Xu Yaofeng, Murong Lang, and Hu Yao all sat quietly. They didn't seem to want to seek Chen Qing's guidance today.

Fu Luo glanced at her surroundings and understood that everyone was attracted by her light butterflies. They were looking forward to seeing what changes would happen to her light butterflies.

He could only reveal his light butterfly first, saying: "My light butterfly is already rank eight, senior, please guide me!"

Chen Qing glanced at it and said calmly, "Feathers of a Bi Fang bird."

Speaking of which, the growth material of this Light Butterfly was indeed a little too strange.

Fu Luo lowered his head and bowed slightly. "Senior, please bestow me a song."

Chen Qing smiled. His index finger landed on the table and began to tap rhythmically.

The other three held their breaths, not daring to interrupt Chen Qing's actions.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Chen Qing said softly, "This song is called Spring White Snow, have you memorized it?"

Fu Luo nodded and said, "Fu Luo will remember it. Many thanks to Senior for the song."

Remembering it after hearing it once, was this the effect of the jade element Gu?

It was rather miraculous.

Seeing that no one was in the mood to ask questions today, Chen Qing could only say: "Then, you can start chatting."

Today, everyone was not in the mood to chat. Only Hu Yao did not know that everyone's attention was on Ji Ru's light Gu. She said: "I have an iron skin butterfly, a strength butterfly, and a copper bone Gu that is about to transform into a butterfly. What Gu worm should I contract with next?"

Xu Yaofeng said: "It would be best to find an ancient scripture. Ancient scriptures can integrate the strength of Gu worms and gather them in one place. That is true strength."

Hu Yao said with some vexation: "Is that so, ancient scriptures and whatnot are hard to find."

Murong Lang smiled as he patted the fan in his hand, "Coincidentally, my Thunder Roll Pure Land was once the territory of the demon race, there are large numbers of demon race records left behind. There might even be ancient scriptures among them."

"What kind of scripture do you want, I will help you look for it."

Hu Yao was overjoyed: "Thank you, it would be best if it is a battle technique, I like battle techniques!"

Murong Lang thought for a while before saying: "There should be a battle technique, I will look for it."

Fu Luo took out a divine book and handed it to Murong Lang, allowing him to quickly read and memorize it.

Today, Xu Yaofeng did not continue talking about Tai Yi, Nie Fei, and Zhang Tai 'a. It was clear that Taiping Cult had cut off all leads, and he did not care much about them.

But who knew if he would give up so easily after knowing that the other person was called Tai Yi.

Chen Qing thought that if Xu Yaofeng found out about Tai Yi, he would say that Tai Yi was his only believer. But who knew that Xu Yaofeng did not care about this matter.

Forget it.

The gathering ended.

Although it was late at night, Fu Luo did not feel sleepy at all. She got up and walked to the entrance of her palace, waking up Xiao Tao who was leaning against the door.

"Xiao Tao, ask Cao Yizhi to find me a Bi Fang bird feather."

Xiao Tao rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Princess, it is already so late, do you want to go?"

Fu Luo stuffed a candied fruit into Xiao Tao's mouth. "Go, go."

Xiao Tao ate as she went to a dry well outside, pulling the bell hanging above it.

Cao Yizhi's voice soon sounded from the dry well. "Xiao Tao, what is it?"

Xiao Tao said, "The princess wants a Bi Fang bird feather. Hurry up and go get it."

Xiao Tao hurriedly stepped aside when she heard the wind from the dry well. Cao Yizhi leaped out. "I'll go get it right away."

Fu Luo's mind was not in class these days. Instead, she played the zither over and over again in her palace, trying her best not to forget the tune.

She split the tune into four sections, playing only one section at a time so as not to ruin the timing.

She lay on her bed and looked curiously at the purple butterfly of light in her hand. "Die 'er, oh Die' er, why are you eating so slowly?

"It would be great if I could finish it in a day!"

She lay on her bed and imagined her butterfly of light evolving to the Dao Integration Stage spirit rank. "I wonder what kind of abilities I'll gain after that.

"It should have something to do with Senior. I wonder which part of Senior's Heavenly Dao this is."

She then recalled that Chen Qing had once said that this was just an experiment.

She thought again: Could it be that it won't succeed?

Another seven days passed. She suddenly felt a throbbing sensation and immediately returned to her palace. She quietly watched the butterfly of light in her hand transform into Nine Revolutions.

When the transformation was complete, it grew a little bigger. She hurriedly ordered people to prepare a bath.

This time, she was going to play the zither with incomparable seriousness and completely play the mysterious tune that Senior Tai Chu had taught her.

After taking a bath and calming her mind, she chanted the Clear Heart Incantation to calm herself down.

She poured spirit qi into the jade parasite and focused herself. Her entire being became tranquil.

She opened her hand, and the purple butterfly of light flew out and landed on a corner of the zither.

Then, she placed her finger down, and the crisp sound of the zither resounded in her palace.

Outside the palace, it was still a silent night.
