All professional Gu Xian

Zhou Qing came to the outside of the cave, took out a hide bag from his arms, and released hundreds of purple fire flying ants from it.

Under the control of the seven ant kings, they hid in the shadows of the cave entrance.

Zhou Qing ordered the ant kings to attack all creatures that attempted to enter the cave.

Now Erqing, Chiyan and Jincan Gu have all entered the dormant stage, and they must prevent strange beasts from entering and kill them all.

"Let me see what secrets are in this Black Wind Mountain."

Zhou Qing asked the tiger eagle to explore the way ahead, following the footprints left by the zombies when they came, and walked to a higher place in Black Wind Mountain.

The closer to the top of the mountain, the thicker the miasma.

The visibility became lower and lower, and the air was filled with a cold breath.

Zhou Qing stepped steadily on the slippery mud.

With the improvement of his strength, he finally had the confidence to go to a higher place.

However, he did not dare to be careless at all. Once the situation was not right, he would run away immediately.

The tiger eagle shuttled through the miasma, constantly leading him forward.

At this time, the miasma in front suddenly appeared in layers, and the bright yellow miasma was gradually mixed with pink mist, and the air exuded a sweet smell.

Zhou Qing just inhaled a little, and felt a faint sense of stuffiness in his chest.

"What kind of miasma is this? Even the body that is immune to all poisons cannot completely resist it."

Zhou Qing retreated a distance, and the feeling of stuffiness slowly faded.

Then, he went deeper, and after repeating this, his body gradually adapted to the pink miasma.

However, he could feel that his physical strength was increasing as time went by.

It seemed that only by running the true qi could he completely resist the invasion of this miasma on the body.

The footprints disappeared in the pink miasma area in front.

Zhou Qing paused and did not move forward.

He took out another leather bag from his arms and released hundreds of purple fire flying ants.

Hundreds of purple fire flying ants stagnated at the edge of the pink miasma, not daring to go deeper.

Finally, under the intimidation of the three ant kings, they barely entered the pink miasma range.

"Hua La La!"

Hundreds of purple fire flying ants entered the pink miasma range not far away, and fell like raindrops.

Only three ant kings swayed in the pink miasma range for a few times and flew back again.

"Li!"

Accompanied by an eagle cry, the tiger eagle passed through the bright yellow miasma and landed on Zhou Qing's outstretched arm.

"Chi Ji~!"

"Are you saying there is no way ahead?" Zhou Qing roughly understood what the tiger eagle meant.

"It seems that I can only wait until Er Qing wakes up before investigating."

Zhou Qing thought secretly and chose to leave.

At this time, the three ant kings circled around Zhou Qing for a while, and then returned to the pink miasma, eating the corpses of the purple fire flying ants.

In less than twenty breaths, hundreds of purple fire flying ants fell into the stomachs of the three ant kings.

"This is."

The three ant kings flew back slowly, and their originally dark abdomens turned light pink.

Zhou Qing put the three ant kings back into the leather bag.

"Tiger Eagle, remember this place. When the miasma is lighter during the day, you can come here to investigate again. Remember, safety first."

Before leaving, Zhou Qing asked the tiger eagle to remember the way they came.

"Cry!" The tiger eagle soared into the sky.

Zhou Qing returned to the cave and hoisted the remaining python meat from the cold pond.

He used the demon-slaying knife he carried with him to cut the python meat into small pieces and put them in the pottery jar containing Erqing, Chiyan, and Jincan Gu cocoon.

"Such a big python is not enough to eat."

Looking at the less than two-meter-long python meat left, Zhou Qing sighed.

After the New Year, he had to find a way to make money and resources again.

"Master Wei should have a way."

For Zhou Qing now, raising ordinary silkworms is too slow to make money. As for the silk of golden silkworms, the quality is higher, but there is no stable channel to sell it.

Once he officially becomes Wei Sheng's direct disciple and can get in touch with the upper class of Heishan Town and the county, there should be more ways to make money.

As far as he knows, Wei Sheng has five direct disciples, the eldest is Wei Hongyu.

The second is unknown, it seems that something unpleasant happened before, and those who know the inside story are tight-lipped about it.

The third, Ma Wenchun, was a muscle-refining warrior before, but later he was seriously injured in a fight with others, and his blood and qi were greatly damaged, and he could not go further. Because of his honest and simple character, he stayed in the martial arts hall to manage the warehouse and the kitchen.

The fourth seems unknown, and it seems that he stayed in the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall in the county.

The fifth, He Zhongdong, has a relatively cold personality. After Wei Hongyu left, he took over her to guide the apprentices in martial arts.

As long as the teaching time is over, he doesn't bother to say a word to others, just turn around and leave, as punctual as clocking in at work.

According to people who know the inside story, He Zhongdong was born in a big family in the county and would not make friends with people he looked down upon.

However, he was never late or left early, and he was considered diligent.

As for personality, it varies from person to person, so there is nothing to say.

Since Zhou Qing was valued by Wei Sheng, He Zhongdong did become more enthusiastic towards him, but it was also very limited.

"In the next period of time, you have to take good care of Erqing and the others."

The old lady never asked Zhou Qing what he was doing outside, so it didn't matter if he didn't go back at night.

Zhou Qing cut off a piece of python meat and took it out of the cave.

The tiger eagle that had been waiting for a long time couldn't wait to land, rubbed his cheek affectionately, and flew into the sky with the meat in its mouth.

Zhou Qing walked out of the cave, picked up some firewood in the forest, and brought it back to the cave to make a fire and roast meat.

After eating the python meat, when the blood and qi in his body began to grow, he jumped into the freezing cold water and practiced the Green Water Skill.

When the blood and qi brought by the python meat were transformed into Green Water Qi through practice, Zhou Qing returned to the shore and continued to grill meat.

Then, he practiced the White Cloud Palm Technique.

Then the knife and leg techniques.

Practice has become an instinct for him.

When the fatigue of the body gradually increased, Zhou Qing found the straw mat in the corner, spread it on the ground and lay on it.

"It seems that I have to prepare more daily necessities in the future."

Zhou Qing thought so and soon fell asleep.

As his internal skills became more and more profound, his sleep time was greatly reduced. Now he only needs to sleep for three hours a day to ensure full energy for the whole day.

And as long as he wants, he can fall asleep within twenty breaths.

Before dawn, Zhou Qing went down the mountain and returned home.

In this way, for more than 20 days in a row, Zhou Qing lived in the cave, catching poisonous insects on time every day, mixing them with Tai Sui meat, and putting them in a pottery jar, so that Erqing, Chiyan, and Jincan Gu could absorb nutrients.

Time came to the 965th year of Dajin, the 22nd year of Yuanfeng, November 27th.

This year, the officials who came to collect the autumn tax came a little later than usual.

Zhou Qing took the silver and was about to go outside the town to pay the tax, but the jade scepter in his soul emitted a faint blue light.

A line of text appeared in his sight.

[You have obtained a new Gu worm - mutant golden back centipede (corpse poison centipede)]

[You have obtained a new Gu worm - mutant golden silkworm Gu (double-winged golden silkworm Gu)]

[Refining: Qingsi Gu (Erqing)]

[Progress: Breaking the limit (800/800)]

[Evolution direction: To be determined]

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, handed the silver to the old lady, and went straight to Black Wind Mountain.
