Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 22: Moon Appreciation

After the transaction was completed, Chen Qing leaned back in his chair and said: "You guys can start chatting."

Murong Lang was the first to speak: "When can you get that sword gu?"

Hu Yao opened and closed her hands under the table, clearly nervous: "When my iron skin gu transforms into a butterfly, I will have full confidence."

Murong Lang and Chen Qing both thought: Looks like you're not from a sect, otherwise why would you need the iron skin gu to be confident in getting it.

Murong Lang explained: "My lightning butterfly is known to all my friends, so I can't keep improving it."

Chen Qing agreed in his heart. Indeed, it can't be too obvious. Otherwise, if a lightning butterfly were to rapidly improve in such a short period of time, anyone would find it strange.

This scholar should be secretly cultivating a sword gu, after all, their continent doesn't have such a thing.

The first time they face an enemy, the enemy won't know how to deal with it.

Then, he will use all his savings to cultivate a sword gu as his trump card.

According to what the scholar said, their continent is rich in five element gu worms, they should mainly use five element techniques to fight.

At this time, if he takes out a sword gu that has been cultivated to its peak, once it gets close, won't it be a fatal blow?

Who would have thought that a lightning type cultivator who specializes in lightning gu would suddenly attack you?

It's a good plan.

Hu Yao pondered for a long time before understanding the scholar's meaning. She suddenly thought of herself, "Then my strength gu has just transformed into a butterfly, if the iron skin gu transforms into a butterfly, won't it attract other people's attention?"

Murong Lang asked: "When you do that, will there be any survivors?"

Hu Yao shook her head.

Murong Lang said: "Then it's fine."

Chen Qing thought: Although this girl looks stupid, she's not easy to deal with.

She's clearly going to kill and steal!

Is she a heretic cultivator?

That's not right, how can a heretic cultivator with such a personality live for so long?

Murong Lang reminded: "But after your iron skin gu transforms into a butterfly, don't reveal it so easily."

Hu Yao became nervous, "I understand."

"I don't need to reveal the Iron Skin Gu when I use it. This Iron Skin Gu also increases my defense, so no one should be able to tell."

Murong Lang thought to himself that this little girl was really careless. Since both of them were chosen by Tai Chu, he reminded her: "You still need to be careful, cultivators with iron skin Gu might be able to see the difference."

"Oh," Hu Yao replied.

Seeing that they were almost done talking about the deal, Murong Lang once again gave Hu Yao some general knowledge on how to get the goods. Murong Lang then cupped his hands at Chen Qing and said, "Senior, I wonder if you can set a specific time for the gathering?"

"Hong Lian's current location is not a safe place. If we take too much of her time, there might be a certain level of danger."

At this moment, Hu Yao came back to her senses. "No, I'm fine."

Chen Qing leaned back and said, "That's fine too. Under the same sky, the four seasons are different. Let's set it at this time of the day."

Murong Lang laughed and said, "Thank you, senior."

Hu Yao cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Senior."

Chen Qing said leisurely, "Then shall we end today's gathering here?"

Murong Lang and Hu Yao cupped their hands together and said, "Goodbye, Senior."

After saying that, the two figures disappeared on the spot.

The atmosphere of this Extreme Light Religion gathering gradually changed. The gathering time also changed to midnight.

And the original host of this gathering, the branch leader of Extreme Light Religion, was currently fighting fiercely in the midst of sword lights.

Chen Qing took off the bronze mask and covered himself in sweat under the blanket. His whole body was hot and dry.

Glancing at the extra 105 middle grade spirit stones, he immediately felt that this heat was still acceptable.

Nestling in the blanket and carefully counting, Chen Qing hid all the spirit stones under the bed and placed the bronze ghost mask close to his body. Only then did he lay down in relief.

With these spirit stones, should he buy an Iron Skin Gu or a Fog Gu?

The Iron Skin Gu directly increased defense, it was not bad.

But it was more suitable to go out and adventure. It could resist the attacks of demon beasts or wild beasts, prevent accidents, and protect the body.

But he did not want to go out and adventure!

What he had to guard against were sword cultivators.

After all, the surroundings of Carefree mountain and the nearby sects were filled with sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators did not care about iron skin Gu.

The difference with iron skin Gu was that a broken arm would turn into a bone-deep wound, or even a part of the bone would be split open.

Unless the quality of iron skin Gu was much higher than sword Gu, only then would the body be able to block it. Of course, superficial wounds were unavoidable.

This was the dominance of sword cultivators.

Fog Gu was different, its ability to turn into fog was too effective against sword cultivators.

For example, if two sword cultivators were evenly matched, one had fog Gu and the other did not.

The sword cultivator without fog Gu had to spend a lot of effort to catch a flaw, and when the opponent turned into fog to dodge it, he would be at a huge disadvantage.

Moreover, fog Gu had another advantage, it was much more convenient when he went down the mountain to buy Gu worms and materials while hiding his tracks.

After thinking about it, Chen Qing decided to go to Myriad Treasure Pavilion to ask about the price of fog Gu.

With the spring breeze caressing his face, Chen Qing slept soundly. After breakfast, he went to the Spirit Plant Hall.

After instructing everyone to work, Chen Qing saw Wang Ye's happy expression and asked him to stay: "What's wrong, why are you so happy?"

Wang Ye cupped his fists: "I was just about to thank the hall master, it was all thanks to the hall master that I joined spirit plant hall."

"Last night, the senior brother of war hall said that since I joined spirit plant hall, it was not safe to stay there, and asked me to change my residence."

Chen Qing's brows shook, here it comes.

"What residence made you so happy?"

Wang Ye smiled: "It is near the four senior brothers of war hall, and there are also four mu of good spirit fields."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Congratulations then."

Wang Ye waved his hand: "It was all thanks to the hall master."

Chen Qing said: "Do your job well, I will not treat you unfairly."

Wang Ye nodded and left.

Chen Qing went down the mountain and bought five low grade spirit stones worth of spirit ginseng to brew wine, then went to buy two taels of red silver.

When he returned to the house of the spirit plant elder, other than four dishes and a soup, there was a note on the table. He picked it up and took a look:

The water was already boiled.

Chen Qing knew that this was the smell of his sweat in the morning.

After taking a bath, he went to eat. In the backyard, he watched Yu Qingshuang practice her sword for four hours. Yu Qingshuang put away her sword and saw Chen Qing.

"What are you looking at here for?"

Chen Qing replied, "Look at the moon."

Yu Qingshuang pointed at Chen Qing. "Dishonest."

Chen Qing said, "Senior Sister, are you interested in admiring the moon together?"

Yu Qingshuang said, "You've been watching for almost four hours. You haven't seen enough yet."

Chen Qing said, "I heard that there's a viewing platform on Mount Carefree that extends in all directions. You can see the scenery from a hundred miles away."

"In the past, I didn't have the chance to go up the mountain. Now, I have the chance, but I don't know where it is. Please lead me there, senior sister."

When Yu Qingshuang put down her hand, she felt the jade bracelet on her hand. "Alright then."

Following the path to the top of the mountain, Yu Qingshuang walked in front with the lantern in her hand, and Chen Qing followed behind. It was a feast for the eyes.

This muslin dress was truly graceful. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the cleavage was clearly defined and rippled lightly.

Was the elasticity so good?

Arriving at the viewing platform next to the main hall of Mount Carefree, Chen Qing leaned his arms against the railing and looked at Wang Ye's residence.

Some flames flickered.

Yu Qingshuang leaned back against the railing. "I haven't been here in a long time. This place is especially spacious and makes one feel empty."

Chen Qing's gaze moved from Wang Ye's residence to the oval moon in the sky, and then to the senior sister next to him.

Under the moon, there was a beautiful woman holding a lantern.

"Indeed, it makes one feel empty. It's beautiful."
