Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 64: Mountain Lord Caresses My Head, Secretly Imparting Sword Sutra

Chen Qing was just about to get up and return to his cave abode to have a good rest when he saw Feng Qi walking towards him. His left arm was wrapped in gauze.

"Junior Martial Brother Chen, do you know what the Mountain Chieftain said when he saw that all the injured disciples had been properly arranged, that supplies were being sent to the frontlines without end, that the spies had been captured and killed, and that Carefree Mountain was safe?"

Chen Qing asked curiously, "What did the Mountain Lord say?"

Feng Qi picked up the remaining half of his pipe and took a puff. He smiled. "The Mountain Lord said that it's time for you to be promoted to Hall Master."

Chen Qing said, "It's all my senior brothers fighting at the frontlines. I only did some small things. Senior Brother Gongsun Xiu is the one who really worked hard."

Feng Qi reached out and grabbed Chen Qing's shoulder. "Don't say anymore. If it's your credit, then it's yours!"

"Let's go. We've won a great victory. You have to treat me to a good drink!"

"Let's go to your place to get some wine first, then go to the spiritual plant elder's house to find Granny Yu. Don't think I don't know that you've hidden good wine in your house!"

Chen Qing laughed. "Don't worry. Senior Brother Feng is here. There's enough wine."

Chen Qing went home to get a jar of good wine and went to the spiritual plant elder's house. Not long after he arrived, he saw Feng Qi, Gongsun Xiu, and Xiao Zhong coming together.

After eating and drinking, Feng Qi picked up a bowl of wine. "Junior Brother Xiao, don't be angry with the sect and Chen Qing anymore."

Xiao Zhong picked up his bowl and drank alone without clinking cups with Feng Qi. "From what you said, you're sending me to take over the sect's newly acquired spirit fields?"

Lotus Flower Cave had many water-type spirit plants. This was something everyone knew. Xiao Zhong's Grass Spirit Butterfly could greatly increase the growth rate and quality of water-type spirit plants.

Xiao Zhong laughed angrily. "I only have one brother."

"My parents went out to cultivate. It was my brother who raised me."

"If I don't take revenge for him in this life, I'm not human."

Gongsun Xiu reached out and pressed Xiao Zhong's shoulder. "It's not time yet."

Xiao Zhong said, "But now that Lotus Flower Cave has been destroyed, it's time to make a move on Wutong Mountain, right?"

Feng Qi picked up the wine jar and filled it up for Xiao Zhong and Chen Qing. "In the future, I will be in charge of the territory at the Lotus Flower Cave. You will assist me. It just so happens that the people from Wutong Mountain are nearby."

At this point, Xiao Zhong raised his wine bowl and clinked glasses with Chen Qing and Gongsun Xiu. "Very well. From today onwards, I will be the Vice Hall Master of the Spirit Plants Hall."

He looked at Chen Qing. "After drinking this bowl of wine, you and I will be brothers!"

"You will be the Hall Master, and I will be the Vice Hall Master."

Chen Qing picked up his wine bowl and clinked it against Xiao Zhong's. "In the future, I'll have to rely on Senior Brother Xiao to take care of me."

Actually, there wasn't much of a grudge between him and Xiao Zhong. Now that they had become friends, it was for the best.

Through the conversation at the table, Chen Qing finally understood why Xiao Zhong was angry with the sect.

Back then, when his older brother went out to train, he died at the hands of Huang Shengluan of Wutong Mountain because of a woman.

If it was someone else, Carefree Mountain definitely wouldn't let this matter slide so easily. They would definitely pay with blood.

But that was Huang Shengluan, the leader of the younger generation of Wutong Mountain.

Therefore, after Wutong Mountain sent someone to deliver the compensation, the matter was put on hold.

That night, Xiao Zhong drank a lot of wine.

He always said that when he dreamed at night, he would often dream of his older brother. Only when he was drunk could he temporarily forget about it.

Chen Qing called for a servant and went to his house to get a jar of wine. The four of them drank quite happily and even ran to the observation deck to dance arm in arm.

This didn't attract the attention of others. They were still considered to be relatively normal.

After returning from a great victory, the entire Carefree Mountain was in a celebratory mood. The fragrance of wine floated everywhere.

A large number of Carefree Mountain disciples abandoned all restraint and celebrated the sect's great victory.

The next day, Chen Qing had just woken up and was squatting at the door to eat noodles when Shen Ao came bounding over.

This guy had injured his leg during the battle. Now, he was hopping like a rabbit when he walked.

"Junior Brother Chen, the Hall Master invites you."

Chen Qing finished the noodles in two mouthfuls. "What's the matter?"

Shen Ao shook his head. "The Mountain Lord didn't say anything. He only asked you to go."

Could it be about the promotion of the Hall Master?

Thinking about it, his promotion speed had set a new record in Carefree Mountain.

He had been promoted to Hall Master in less than a year.

Even though there wasn't much difference between them and the hall master before, their right to speak was completely different during discussions.

Carefree Mountain had a total of five halls. Once he became a Hall Master, he would be one of the five Hall Masters of Carefree Mountain.

Chen Qing could roughly guess the reason. The main reason was that the sect was about to use Xiao Zhong, and there needed to be someone who could suppress him.

Chen Qing, who was still single and had handled this matter well, was naturally the best candidate.

After putting down his bowl, Chen Qing followed Shen Ao to Carefree Mountain's Patriarch Hall.

The Patriarch Hall was more majestic. After the sect's Patriarch Hall, its grandeur did not lose to the sect's Patriarch Hall.

The thousand-year-old wood was carved with ancient cloud patterns. In the center was a candle that had never been extinguished. The person enshrined was a benevolent-looking old Daoist.

This person looked rather benevolent in the portrait. He had a high forehead, white hair, white beard, and a pair of melancholy eyes.

When Chen Qing walked into the hall, the Mountain Lord was burning incense for the person in the portrait.

The Mountain Lord said, "This person is my master, Qingshuang's great-grandfather."

In other words, the position of Mountain Lord was passed down from the Yu Clan to the Ye Clan?

No wonder the sect treated me as a direct descendant after I expressed my goodwill to Yu Qingshuang.

The Mountain Lord smiled stiffly. His zombie face was as ugly as it could be. "Chen Qing, what rank is your sword Gu now?"

Chen Qing cupped his hands. "Rank five!"

The Mountain Lord nodded with a smile. "Mm, not bad."

The Mountain Lord took out a golden page from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qing. "This sword manual was found on Qiu Feng after we defeated the Lotus Flower Cave."

"Your other senior and junior brothers are all learning Carefree Mountain's sword manuals. Their Sword Dao is already set. Learning this sword manual will only damage their foundation."

"But you are different. You only learned some basic sword techniques from Qingshuang. The true Sword Dao is not yet learned."

"In the entire sect, only you have the qualifications and status.

He is also the most suitable person to learn this brand new sword manual. "

Chen Qing looked at the sword manual in his hand in a daze. He had never imagined that this sword manual brought out by the Snake Venomous Insect, after going through so many twists and turns, would actually fall into his hands in the end!

The Mountain Master continued, "I've read a little of this sword manual, and it's quite extraordinary. It's even more profound than my Carefree Mountain's sword manual."

"You have to study hard. Once you've learned enough, you can pass it on to your future disciples."

Chen Qing kept the sword manual in his bosom and cupped his fists. "I will definitely not let you down!"

The Hill Chieftain waved his sleeve and said, "Go, study hard.

Don't tell anyone about this. "

Chen Qing clasped his hands and slowly backed away from the Patriarch Temple.

He had only taken three steps when he heard the old voice of the Mountain Master behind him. "You have to learn from your Senior Brother Gongsun Xiu."

Chen Qing turned and cupped his hands together once more. "This disciple will remember."

He wanted him to become the next Gongsun Xiu to guard the entrance of Carefree Mountain.

After this battle, Carefree Mountain's area of control had expanded. The one in charge outside was Feng Qi, and Gongsun Xiu was also transferred outside.

Many years later, the ones in charge of Carefree Mountain's territory would be him and Ye Yuntian.

Now that he had all his Gu worms, and even a spirit grade Snake Venomous Insect, he did not have to worry too much about his cultivation. Once the storm calmed down, he would be able to advance quickly.

Now that he had obtained the secret sword manual, it could be said that he had made up for one of his shortcomings!

Truly, it would be difficult for him not to become strong!

These days of hard work had not been in vain.

After hurriedly returning to his cave, Chen Qing sat on the stone platform in front of the cave and opened the sword manual in his hand, reading it carefully.

He wanted to see how profound this sword manual that everyone was fighting over was.
