All professional Gu Xian

Bah!

Zhou Qing took the key, opened the jade box in front of Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng, then took out the Fire Cloud Zhi inside, put it in a wooden box, and put it into the leather bag Gu.

"Return to the original owner." Zhou Qing placed the exquisite jade box on the table and pushed it back to Wuchenzi.

Wuchenzi saw this and put away the jade box.

Zhou Qing said seriously: "Ding doesn't like chattering, so he goes straight to the point.

Since there are three people cooperating, if the treasures are taken out from the cave, should they be distributed according to the amount of effort.

I can't enter the cave and work my ass off, only to end up with a Blood Jade Mushroom, right? "

When Wu Chenzi heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Ding is really quick to talk, very refreshing!

If we only hunt for treasure on the first floor of the cave, the Blood Jade Mushroom may be the most precious treasure inside.

If you enter the second level, which is more dangerous, the endless number of Gu insects inside will be worth a lot of money.

Although we are not Gu masters, these Gu insects can be kept for our own use or auctioned.

There are often Gu Masters in the county, and for some rare Gu Insects, they may spend all their money to get them.

Many precious medicines and spiritual herbs that are rarely seen in the outside world may not be uncommon to these Gu Masters.

We can exchange these Gu insects for a lot of good things! "

"What the Taoist Master means is that the Gu masters of the Wuxi barbarians will also go to the county to trade?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.

"Not bad." Wuchenzi smiled while twirling his beard.

"Isn't the capital at war with the Wuxi barbarians all the year round? How could it be?" Zhou Qing came to his senses mid-sentence.

Wu Chenzi nodded: "It's exactly what Brother Ding thought. What does the Shuntian Mansion Army's battle with the Wuxi barbarians have to do with Nanli County? This is the voice of many warriors.

Some of the rare elixirs needed by those high-level warriors are located deep in the Qilian Mountains.

Rather than venturing deep into the Qilian Mountains, it would be better to trade with the Gu Masters of the Wuxi Barbarians and barter for things. "

"People die for money, and birds die for food. It's true." Zhou Qing also felt that it was normal, as if he was now in southern Xinjiang and had a household registration in Jin Dynasty, but if Jin Dynasty was in trouble, he would be drafted into the army. .

Zhou Qing can only say one thing, it's none of my business.

When he was about to die of hunger, the court did not provide any relief. Instead, he had to pay the autumn taxes on time, otherwise he would have to leave his hometown and become a homeless man or a beggar.

In such a world similar to the ancient feudal era, with extraordinary power, ordinary people's sense of belonging to their clans and sects is much higher than that of the country.

Wuchenzi explained: "Among the Wuxi barbarians, the Sheng barbarians are the strongest, but the ones with the closest relationship with all the local forces are the Shadow barbarians.

There is a special elixir called Marrow Cleansing Grass among the Shadow Barbarians. Common Marrow Cleansing Grass can cleanse the warrior's energy and blood, increasing the warrior's 10% chance of breaking through the blood exchange realm.

If the Marrow Cleansing Grass is refined into Marrow Cleansing Gu through the hands of the Shadow Barbarian Gu Master, this success rate can be increased to 30%.

This is an absolutely irresistible temptation for any big family in the county.

To be honest, our main purpose of entering the Gu Master's Cave to hunt for treasure this time is actually to collect Gu Insects and exchange Marrow Cleansing Gu with the Gu Masters of the Shadow Barbarians. "

"30% chance!! Marrow Cleansing Gu." Zhou Qing was surprised. With an additional 30% chance of breakthrough, plus his own success rate, the chance of success in breaking through the blood exchange realm will be more than 50%.

Although it is difficult to break through the bone refining realm, it is nothing compared to the bottleneck of the blood exchange realm.

For some big families, it can still be cultivated by consuming a lot of resources.

Coupled with this Marrow Cleansing Gu, the big families in the city can ensure that every generation has a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm.

In this way, not to mention that it can continue to prosper from generation to generation, but at least it will not suddenly decline.

"Brother Ding seems to be young and has great potential in the future, but Pindao is approaching his end. If he hadn't used the Marrow Cleansing Gu to attack the blood exchange realm, he might not have a few more years to live." Wuchenzi sighed.

"The end is coming? Taoist Priest looks like..." Zhou Qing was startled. Wuchenzi looked like he was only forty or fifty years old. Although a Bone Refining Realm martial artist cannot live as long as one hundred and twenty years like a Blood Exchange Realm martial artist, But with strong Qi and blood, he will definitely live longer than ordinary people.

Hearing this, Wuchenzi shook his head and said: "The skills practiced by Pindao are not good at fighting, but they are somewhat magical in maintaining health and beauty. In fact, Pindao is sixty-seven this year.

Pindao was injured by Gu insects when he entered the cave in his early years, and his energy and blood were greatly damaged. If he could not break through the blood exchange realm, he would probably have a hard time surviving past his old age. "

"What?! The Taoist priest is already seventy-six years old?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

"Brother Ding, I'm afraid you can't tell. My nephew Chen is already over forty years old." Wuchenzi pointed at Chen Feng and smiled.

"This" Zhou Qing looked at Chen Feng's fair face and said that he was in his early twenties.

You really have a talent for looking good!

This kind of skill is enough to drive many female warriors crazy, especially those with outstanding appearance.

Being able to maintain an ageless appearance for most of one's life is probably as important as breaking through.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing said: "If we can really exchange for the Marrow Cleansing Gu, the two of us will naturally have priority. After all, the Taoist Master is taking the lead on this trip."

Wuchenzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "So, thank you so much to Brother Ding.

Pindao hereby assures you that if the harvest from this trip is enough for us to exchange for the Marrow Cleansing Gu, the extra treasures will be chosen by Brother Ding first.

If the harvest is insufficient, we will also compensate Brother Ding with money, elixirs, etc. "

"That's fine." Zhou Qing nodded, "However, if I get some secret techniques and classics of Gu refining from the cave, I will also copy them down."

Zhou Qing's primary goal of this trip is the blood jade mushroom, and the second is the secret techniques and classics of Gu masters. After all, he knows too little about Gu masters.

As for the marrow washing Gu that assists in breaking through the blood exchange realm, he actually doesn't care much.

Because he is only seventeen years old this year, he has already broken through the bone barrier.

Even if the process of forging bones is difficult, three to five years is already a long time.

Before the age of twenty-five, he should have the foundation to break through the blood exchange realm.

After practicing the first level of the Hundred Poisons Mixed Body, as long as you practice the Poison Dragon Golden Body, you can increase the chance of breaking through the blood exchange realm by 20%, which is not much worse than the marrow washing Gu.

And for Zhou Qing at this moment, if he can refine a second-level Gu worm, it is much more important than breaking through the martial arts realm.

"Of course I can." Wuchenzi agreed, and then asked with some doubt: "Brother Ding, are you also interested in this art of refining poison?"

"I mainly practice swordsmanship, and I also practice poison skills. I want to get some inspiration from this art of refining poison." Zhou Qing said half-truthfully.

"I see." Wuchenzi nodded.

"I will now explain to Brother Ding the destination of our trip and how to open the formation outside the cave."

Wuchenzi took out a worn parchment scroll full of insect marks from his arms and spread it on the table.

There was a map of mountains and rivers on the parchment scroll.

"Here is it."

Wuchenzi pointed to the southeast corner of the map and explained the situation to Zhou Qing.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhou Qing, Wuchenzi and Chen Feng left the town and entered the vast Qilian Mountains.

Guided by the map, the three of them traveled quickly, over mountains and ridges, and traveled 200 miles a day. Finally, on the second day, they came to the edge of a canyon.

The cracked canyon was like a giant's open eyes, with hundreds of meters of stone walls on both sides that were cold and steep.

Below the stone wall, there was a black river that passed through the canyon like a ribbon.

As the wind blew from below the canyon, the water surface was calm.

It was only autumn, but the wind blowing from the canyon made people feel icy and bone-chilling.

Zhou Qing stood at the edge of the canyon, and his true energy circulated around the body, which dispelled the chill.

"At midnight, the wind blowing from below the canyon will be even colder. If you don't have the cultivation of the Bone Refining Realm, you will be frozen to the point of numbness on the spot." Wu Chenzi explained on the side.

"But the wind blowing from below the canyon is not usually so cold. The last time it was when the cave was about to open, the bone-chilling wind blew."

"Wait." Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing also sat down on the edge of the cliff, but his eyes were always on the black water surface below the canyon.

As the saying goes, clear water is shallow, green water is deep, and black water is deep.

According to Wuchenzi, when it is midnight, they have to dive into the river below the canyon and open the mechanism of the cave at three locations at the same time.

"Cry!"

At this time, a handsome white-headed eagle flew over the clouds above the canyon.

The Qilian Mountains are very dangerous. Zhou Qing had seen it when the three of them were on the road yesterday.

All kinds of poisonous insects are everywhere.

Although Zhou Qing is not afraid, this is the territory of the Wuxi Barbarians, so he asked the tiger eagle to conduct reconnaissance in the air at all times.

The three of them waited on the edge of the cliff until midnight.

Whoosh!

At this time, gusts of cold wind blew below the canyon, and Zhou Qing shuddered immediately.

As Wuchenzi said, this chill is definitely not something that a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm can withstand, let alone go into the water.

"It's time!" Wuchenzi, who had been feeling the changes in the cold wind below the canyon, suddenly stood up with excitement in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out three fiery red crystal balls from his arms. As soon as the crystal balls appeared, they emitted powerful heat, dispelling the chill brought by the coldness of the canyon.

"Brother Ding, please!" Wu Chenzi threw one of the fiery red crystal balls to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing took the crystal ball and nodded silently.

Although the crystal ball has amazing heat, it only feels slightly warm in the hand, not hot.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that both of them held the crystal ball tightly, Wu Chenzi took the lead and flew down the cliff.

Although the cliff is steep, covered with moss, and extremely slippery, it is still possible for a warrior in the Bone Refining Realm to stand on it.

The three fell along the cliff to the bottom of the canyon.

Zhou Qing looked at the river water in front of him that was emitting cold air, and he became alert. The true energy in his body was ready to burst out at any time.

Wuchenzi was on the north side of the cliff at the moment, while Zhou Qing and Chen Feng were on the south side of the cliff, and the three of them were in a corner.

"Get in the water."

After Wuchenzi confirmed the position, he let go of the rock and fell into the river with a splash.

Seeing this, Chen Feng also jumped into the water.

Zhou Qing followed closely.

After entering the water, Zhou Qing found that the visibility in the water was very low, but it was not as dark as when he looked down from above the water surface.

However, the water temperature was much lower than he expected.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this time, the red crystal ball in Zhou Qing's hand trembled slightly, forming a red light shield of one zhang square. Although the light shield could not disperse the river water, it could bring him warmth.

Wuchenzi and Chen Feng waited for him ten meters away from him. After confirming that Zhou Qing was in place, Wuchenzi made a gesture, and the three began to swim underwater.

The three of them swam hundreds of meters deep, and the light shield formed by the red crystal ball quickly dimmed. The strong water pressure had forced Zhou Qing to use his true essence to resist.

Although the power of the Green Water Skill was not as strong as the Green Wood Sutra, it gave him a strong water ability, and the effect of the Green Water True Essence in resisting water pressure seemed to be better than that of the Green Wood True Essence.

Zhou Qing quickly adapted to the underwater pressure and continued to swim into the dark and bottomless underwater.

This time, after swimming about ten meters, Zhou Qing saw three huge jade pillars with a thickness of two people's arms appearing below, and the jade pillars were covered with golden symbols.

On the other side, Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng had already taken their positions in advance and stood on the top of two jade pillars.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing landed on the last jade pillar and stood still.

After standing on the jade pillar, he found that there was a hemispherical groove in the middle of the jade pillar, which was about the same size as the red crystal ball in his hand.

Seeing Wu Chenzi on the opposite side making a gesture and pressing the crystal ball into the groove, Zhou Qing followed suit.

Buzz!

The crystal ball suddenly glowed red, but the next moment, the red light of the crystal ball quickly dimmed.

He injected the true energy into it as agreed in advance.

As the true energy was quickly absorbed into the crystal ball, the red light became stronger and stronger, completely dispelling the darkness within a radius of hundreds of meters.

"This is..."

The scene in front of him made Zhou Qing's eyes condense. He saw that there were still jade pillars under the jade pillars, but these jade pillars were broken.

He counted carefully and found that there were nine broken jade pillars in total.

The collapsed jade pillars piled up below.

Through his powerful eyesight, Zhou Qing vaguely saw a huge "true" word under the jade pillars.

For safety reasons, Zhou Qing bit the Qi-recovering pill wrapped in beeswax under his tongue.

Although he did not use his true energy, if the true energy was consumed too much, the wine bug would not be able to condense the true energy out of thin air.

Feeling the continuous recovery of true energy, Zhou Qing felt relieved.

Boom!

As the three people continued to inject true energy, the water flow below suddenly made a huge movement, and a huge vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in the middle of the three jade pillars.

A strong suction came from the middle of the vortex.

Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng saw this, both of them were happy, and jumped towards the middle of the vortex without hesitation.

After seeing the two people being "swallowed" by the vortex, the vortex shrank rapidly. Zhou Qing's eyes focused, took out the corpse worm Gu King from the wooden king tripod, hid it in his chest, and then jumped down and entered the vortex.

"Puff!"

Accompanied by a dizzy spinning, Zhou Qing suddenly emerged from a deep pool and spit out a large mouthful of pool water.

Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng were already standing by the pool at this moment.

"Brother Ding is here too!" Wu Chenzi said with a smile.
