Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Wen Zong had a younger brother called Wu Shang!"

"He was only twelve years old, but he challenged Li Chonghuan, the successor of the Immortal Court, and fought nine battles."

"Nine battles and nine draws."

"Li Chonghuan has the King's Mandate, so does Wu Shang!"

"Even Wen Zong's younger brother has the King's Mandate and has the King Gu. He's a future king. Is there any need to say how strong Wen Zong is?"

The demons were pleasantly surprised when they heard that.

"So, we're going to join one of the top forces in Nanli?"

The horse demon raised his head and said, "Of course!"

Qing Shan also revealed a look of yearning. "There's no way we can continue living in such darkness!"

"We must persevere and join the Dragon Stallion Army!"

"When we return from the Death Realm, we'll all be in the Profound Martial Realm. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

"Only those in the Profound Martial Realm can transcend life and death!"

Hu Xianxian forced herself to stand up, "Brother Qing Shan, I feel much better. I can still walk."

Chen Qing shook his head slightly. Fortunately, the rumors didn't spread too far.

He could still accept it, and it was quite pleasant to hear.

It was a pity that this group of demons wouldn't be able to get out.

The situation here was extremely strange. No matter how these demons walked, they seemed to be walking deeper into the cave.

No one knew if it was Luan Yuzhu's method or they were affected by the strangeness of this place.

The demons forced themselves to walk for a while. The other demons were dispirited. Only Qing Shan was fine because Chen Qing was with him.

He took the initiative to take up the duty of guarding.

Qing Shan let everyone rest and went to guard alone. He sat in the cave full of rocks.

Chen Qing thought for a moment. Since we met, it's fate.

He took advantage of Qing Shan's unpreparedness and put a handful of Spiritual Dew into a jade bottle and threw it nearby.

Fifteen minutes later, Qing Shan found this bottle of Spiritual Dew. He opened the bottle and sniffed it.

He immediately shouted in surprise, "Spiritual Dew, look what I found!"

He called out to Hu Xianxian in surprise, "Hu Xianxian, quickly drink this bottle of Spiritual Dew. You'll definitely be able to persevere until we get out!"

Chen Qing was shocked, but also a little happy.

This bull was really honest.

How did he live to this age?

In such a dangerous place, they were actually willing to give away such a spirit medicine that could replenish a large amount of vitality?

If he was a clever person, he would definitely hide and not say a word.

This bull's temperament was not bad. It was just that its strength was a little lacking. It was somewhat unpresentable.

However, this was not the main point. To Chen Qing, it might be beyond his ability to nurture a cow to the Qilin level.

However, it was not difficult to nurture them to Lu Shenglong's level of strength.

Chen Qing was a little surprised at the thought.

He actually looked down on the Qilin and wanted a Green Bull as his mount.

This was also a flaw in his character. It could be good or bad.

Being arrogant and merciful to the Qilin was not to his liking.

He admired the green ox more and more for being able to maintain a kind heart in the Ninth Secluded Impasse.

There was a feeling of coming out of the mud without being stained.

This had something to do with his fear of death.

If he used a qilin as a mount, it was still unknown whether it would sacrifice itself to save him in a desperate situation.

However, if it was this green ox, Chen Qing felt that he would sacrifice himself to save him without hesitation.

All in all, Chen Qing was quite fond of this honest green bull.

Qing Shan led the demons and continued to move forward. Another seven days passed.

This complicated cave seemed to have no end.

They still could not walk out. Apart from Hu Xianxian, who was already weak, the other demons also began to bleed from their seven orifices.

Every time Qing Shan went out alone, he would be able to pick up herbs that could replenish his vitality. This made him wonder what was going on.

However, the other demons did not think so. They only felt that Qing Shan was lucky.

You could always trust Niu Qingshan. Others were pretending to be stupid, but he was really stupid.

On this day, Qing Shan went out to relieve himself. He picked up another precious herb and returned to the team. "Hu Xianxian, I picked up another precious herb. Eat it quickly!"

Although the demons looked at the precious herb, they did not argue about who it belonged to.

They trusted Qing Shan.

However, no matter how they shook Hu Xianxian, she did not wake up again.

At this moment, Hu Xianxian was bleeding all over. Blood droplets seeped out from her snow-white skin.

She was as pale as a sheet of paper. No matter how hard they tried, they could not wake her up.

Fifteen minutes later, she had already turned into a skeleton.

Qing Shan carried a few demons who were unable to walk. Everyone continued to move forward, wanting to escape.

After walking for three days, they were surprised to discover that there were more and more bones in front of them.

Chen Qing sat at the corner of Qing Shan and looked at the surrounding terrain. He felt that it was becoming more and more familiar.

The continuous piles of bones formed a mountain, like an underground river of bones.

However, he would never think of the fisherman.

The fisherman did not die naturally. He had filled the eye of the sea. It was impossible for his corpse to be left behind. Naturally, there was no shroud.

Of course, if it was an existence like the fisherman, the shroud after his death could indeed turn into a king gu.

The demons died one after another, but Qing Shan was not too sad.

In the Ninth Netherworld, there was no real friendship.

However, Qing Shan became more and more afraid, afraid that he would not be able to leave.

Only the horse demon was left beside him. Qing Shan's physique was still very good.

Now that there were only two of them left, there was no need for them to keep watch.

While the two demons were asleep, Chen Qing grabbed a strand of horse demon hair that floated past and placed it in the dream flower.

Stepping through the Void Gate, Chen Qing entered the horse demon's dream. At this moment, the horse demon was running through the mountains and rivers.

It seemed that his dream was to run freely in a world full of vitality.

Chen Qing stepped in, and the horse demon was confused. "Who are you?"

Chen Qing shouted, "My name is Qing Xu. I'm a scholar of Nanli, the master of Foundation Establishment. There's a bull named Qing Shan who is fated with me."

"After you wake up, tell him to come and worship me."

After saying that, Chen Qing left the horse demon's dream.

He could not say too much about such things. If he said too much, it would lose the sense of mystery.

The horse demon woke up and immediately shook Qing Shan awake. "Qing Shan, guess what I dreamed of!"

Qing Shan asked in confusion, "Dream? What other dream can there be?"

The horse demon said, "I dreamed of an immortal who came into my dream. He called himself a scholar of Nanli, and his name was Qing Xu!"

"The immortal said that you are fated with him, and asked you to go and worship him!"

Qing Shan did not care about this. "Perhaps you have been thinking about joining the Dragon Stallion Army day and night, and had a dream."

The horse demon said seriously, "No, I think it's real!"

"Look at all of us daemons. You're the only one who can make it here, and your body is unaffected."

"And you're the only one who can pick up so many spiritual herbs and treasures by chance. This must be the blessing of an immortal!"

Qing Shan thought back to how he was able to pick up so many spiritual herbs and treasures out of nowhere. He became suspicious, "Is it really because of Wen Zong's protection?"

Another three days passed, and Qing Shan was still able to pick up some treasures. Perhaps it was because the horse daemon was the only one left, but no one shared the herbs with him. He actually managed to live for another three days.

Two days later, the horse daemon finally could not take it anymore.

Chen Qing watched as the horse daemon died in front of him before turning into a pile of bones.

Not only did his body wither away, his soul was destroyed as well.

However, Chen Qing himself was fine. As a matter of fact, Qing Shan was not affected at all because he was sitting on him.

On this day, Qing Shan slept alone, lying on a huge pile of bones. Chen Qing sat in a crack in the corner, watching Luan Yuzhu walk over from afar.

At this moment, Luan Yuzhu's face was actually pale as well.

Luan Yuzhu carefully observed Qing Shan's condition and said to himself softly, "Is that Qing Xu really destined to be a king?"

"Otherwise, why would this little azure ox have fortuitous encounters after fortuitous encounters?"

"Even I, a mighty profound martial realm cultivator, have my body weakened, yet it's still fine?"

"Forget it. Let's not worry about that for now. Even I've been affected by the shroud, so it must be close."

"I'll let the little ox continue scouting the way!"

Qing Shan wanted to escape from this place wholeheartedly, but he could not escape no matter what.

Another three days passed. More and more bones appeared on the ground. Suddenly, Qing Shan heard a conversation up ahead.

It was Xiao Yexi's voice. "How is this possible?

I clearly left that fish scale behind on purpose. Why has the venomous insect king really appeared? "

"That's not right!"

Ruan Qingyi's voice rang out, "Perhaps the venomous insect king has been affected by your fish scale and has been lured out."

Qing Shan watched as the two of them conversed calmly. Just when he was about to flee, he heard Ruan Qingyi call out softly, "Wretch, do you really think you can leave so easily before us profound martial realm cultivators?"

Qing Shan ran madly. He had only run a few steps when he saw Xiao Yexi and Ruan Qingyi arrive before him.

Xiao Yexi glanced at Green Mountain and asked coldly, "You are only in the Foundation Building realm. How did you come here?"

When Qing Shan saw that both of them were Taoist priests, he immediately said, "I'm fated with Wen Zong of Nanli. He asked me to pay my respects to him. Naturally, Wen Zong will protect me!"

Xiao Yexi and Ruan Qingyi looked at each other in surprise.

Ruan Qingyi said, "The Wenzong of Nanli you're talking about is the current leader of the Li Army, Qing Xu?"

Qing Shan said, "How could it be fake?"

Xiao Yexi calculated with his fingers, "Does that Qing Xu really have a royal decree?"

"This green bull is only fated with him, yet it can receive such blessings?"

Ruan Qingyi said, "That was the arrangement of Zhenjun and the kings. Who can say for sure?"

"Qing Xu is the one who went to fight for the throne against Ji Chang. He must have extraordinary fortune."

Xiao Yexi said, "That's not important. Since this little cow is fated to be with Wen Zong, then don't hurt it."

"Wen Zong entering the Death Realm to fight for the throne against Ji Chang is a big deal. It involves the fight for the royal decree. We'd better not interfere to avoid karma."

Ruan Qingyi smiled, "What karma? We're just afraid that Zhenjun will punish us if something happens."

Xiao Yexi said coldly, "Why are you still arguing at a time like this?"

"If we can't get out in a few more days, we'll all die here!"

"That shroud must have turned into the venomous insect king. Now that the venomous insect king has appeared, it must be the shroud of that existence that turned into the venomous insect king!"

"Even we can only die here!"

Ruan Qingyi shouted, "Isn't it all because of you!"

"You're still unwilling to tell the truth at this time?"

"What exactly is that strange scale?"

Xiao Yexi took a deep breath, "I won't say anything about this unless we're in a desperate situation."

"Let's think of a way to get out."

Ruan Qingyi said, "In my opinion, we should completely shatter these tunnels and open up a straight path. Otherwise, we'll be closer and closer to the venomous insect king!"

"The venomous insect king's power is not something we can withstand."

Xiao Yexi said, "If we can't open up a straight path after exhausting all our supernatural powers, then we'll really die without a burial place."

"I've already tried to inform the temple. I think it won't be long before a senior comes to rescue us."

"Let's wait patiently for a few days."

Qing Shan, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, listened to the two Gate Realm cultivators and waited patiently.

In less than a day, Xiao Yexi suddenly stood up and looked into the darkness ahead, shouting, "Who's there?"

A ray of light bloomed in that person's hand, and she wore a silver ghost mask on her face.

She wore a black dress and swayed her body. Her every move was captivating.

After seeing Xiao Yexi, she was obviously stunned for a moment. "Xiao Yexi?"

Chen Qing suddenly saw an acquaintance beside this Aurora Sect cultivator. It was the Nine Serenities Divine Girl.

This woman was still alive?

The Aurora Sect cultivator wearing a silver ghost mask said, "You know the danger here, why did you still come in?"

"We just wanted to kill the evil practitioners and evildoers in the Nine Serenities Impasse. How did you get involved?"

Xiao Yexi stepped forward and said, "So it's you!"

The Aurora Sect cultivator laughed, "It's you who started it."

"Since you dare to take that thing out, it's the venomous insect king that originally belonged to us, so we can't come over?"

Xiao Yexi said in a low voice, "Yes, I should have thought of it."

"The venomous insect king was transformed by a shroud fragment of your Sect Master. Of course, your Aurora Sect can't miss it."

"Now, I just want to get out. Is there any way?"

The Aurora Sect woman said, "This woman is the Saintess of our Aurora Sect. She has the king's order. As long as we help her contract with the venomous insect king, we can naturally solve the current crisis."

Ruan Qingyi was shocked, "You mean, we must let her contract with the venomous insect king to leave smoothly?"

Chen Qing was also inexplicably surprised at this moment.

No, the fisherman's body clearly filled the sea eye. How could he leave the shroud?

He didn't leave his body at all!

But now, it seemed that the Aurora Sect also thought so.

Chen Qing didn't care about the fact that the Nine Serenities Goddess had the king's order and could contract with the venomous insect king.

What he wondered was why the Aurora Sect didn't know that the fisherman's body filled the sea eye.

Could it be that what he saw was wrong?

The venomous insect wouldn't lie.

There must be something wrong.

He stared at the Nine Serenities Goddess, which made her inexplicably shudder as if she thought of something.

This woman couldn't have the king's order!

It was even more impossible for her to contract with the venomous insect king!

Chen Qing was very sure in his heart.

Then, what they would face was that someone rashly contracted with the venomous insect king. The venomous insect king's anger would affect everyone.

Chen Qing secretly wondered if it was time to slip away.

He also thought that at this moment, there were three Profound Martial Realm cultivators present. He couldn't escape at all.

And more importantly, he couldn't walk out of this endless cave now.

It was better to follow and see what was going on.

Anyway, his Life Venomous Insect could resist the power of the venomous insect king.
