Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

He broke through the eighth layer of Qi Refining!

The old man smiled as he picked up the jug of spirit ginseng wine. He opened the cork and smelled it. "Good wine. Although it's only made from spirit ginseng, it's comparable to ginseng wine!"

He picked up a teacup and drank it. "Then what story would you like to hear?"

Chen Qing took out a copper coin from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. What kind of ill-fated fate do you have to listen to?"

The old man picked up the copper coin and put it in his mouth. He chewed it in two bites as a side dish and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"I have an interesting story here. Since you're interested, I'll tell it to you."

"During the Xinghua period, there was a man who sold oil. He had a wife called Madam Huang. He had a son and a daughter."

"The older one was a son who was eleven years old. The younger one was a daughter who was eight years old."

"Although the family was poor, they relied on the man to sell oil and his wife to work in the fields and weave cloth at night. It could be said that they were able to raise a pair of children."

"However, the son of the oil seller was extremely intelligent. When he was free from farm work, he didn't run around or play with the dogs. Instead, he liked to eavesdrop outside the private school."

"At first, the teacher didn't care. After half a month of listening, he went out for a test. However, he discovered that the boy could recite 'Learning' and 'Establishing Peace' backwards in just half a month of listening."

"Seeing the boy's intelligence, the teacher wanted to take him in as a disciple. He sent someone to inform Madam Huang and persuade her to send her son to Meng Kai."

"Madam Huang had a little bit of family wealth. It was difficult for her to even fill her stomach. How could she have the money to send her son to Meng Kai?"

"She wasn't allowed."

"After the oil seller found out, he could only sigh helplessly."

"He said that there was another child in the private school. He was the son of Official Li's family. When he saw the oil seller's son's intelligence, he was jealous. He called his friends to beat him up and ordered him not to eavesdrop."

"After the oil seller heard this, he was also helpless. He could only tell his son to swallow his anger."

"A month later, the oil seller carried oil into the city to sell oil. When he returned home, he saw Official Li being chased by two men in black."

"Official Li was carrying something the size of a human head. It was inconvenient for him to walk, so he threw it into a bush and ran for his life.

"The oil peddler was passing by and found it. It was a golden Buddha the size of a human head!"

"Three days later, the oil seller knew that the Gold Buddha statue was not something he could obtain, so he took his wife, Huang Shi, to find Squire Li and returned the Gold Buddha statue."

"Li Yuanwai received the Gold Buddha statues, but who would have thought that he would not accept it. He said that there were two Gold Buddha statues, why did you, the oil peddler, only return one?"

"Squire Li ordered his men to beat up the oil seller and said that his wife would pay for the debt!"

"It turns out that Official Li knew that the oil seller's son was intelligent, but the oil seller didn't have any reputation. He guessed that it was because of Lady Huang that he wanted to steal his wife and have a child."

"Mrs. Huang is also a clever person. She knows that she can't resist, so she wants to eliminate Squire Li's wariness before taking revenge."

"A year later, Madam Huang gave birth to a son for Li Yuanwai. This child was extremely intelligent when he was only five years old."

"Squire Li is overjoyed and delighted. He will grant all your requests."

"Madam Huang ordered this child to send poison soup to Squire Li. Squire Li is a traitor."

"Then Madam Huang killed Squire Li's wife and ordered the oil seller to kill Squire Li's eldest son."

"Squire Li's eldest son knew that Madam Huang was vicious, so he left."

"The oil seller and Madam Huang conspired to take over Squire Li's family business.

Both of them caressed the Gold Buddha statues every night and were unable to contain their joy. "

"Eight years later, Madam Huang gave birth to two sons who were extremely intelligent. The oil seller thought that Squire Li and Madam Huang's sons were intelligent and would definitely get the Gold Buddha statues, so he wanted to kill them."

"Madam Huang did not allow it. Her two sons knew and killed the oil seller when he was asleep."

"The oil seller's son was also intelligent. When he found out about this, he avenged his father and killed his younger brother in front of Madam Huang. He said," I am your only son. Do you want to kill me? "

"Madam Huang had no choice but to hide it."

"However, Squire Li's eldest son experienced such hardships. He grew up mentally and wholeheartedly focused on martial arts.

He changed his name to Great Buddha Zhang.

When he finished his studies and changed his appearance, he disguised himself and came back here. He planned to save Madam Huang's daughter and was loved by her. "

"On the wedding night, Lord Zhang got Madam Huang and her son drunk and killed them. He thought that they were robbers who robbed him!"

"Madam Huang's daughter knew but did not say anything. Lord Zhang asked her every day about the whereabouts of the Gold Buddha statues. Madam Huang's daughter only said that she did not know where they were."

"She immersed the Gold Buddha statues in a poisonous pool. When the poisonous liquid entered the Gold Buddha statues, Lord Zhang found them."

"Lord Zhang played with the Gold Buddha statues every day. The poison entered his body and he died."

"Then, the Gold Buddha statues fell into the hands of Madam Huang's daughter. However, she did not know that there were wolves, tigers, and leopards eyeing her covetously."

After the old man finished, he asked with a smile, "A Gold Buddha statue caused two families to break apart and kill each other. Is this evil?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment, "Where is Madam Huang's daughter now?"

The old man stretched out a finger and shook it four times.

Chen Qing reached for the bag on his back and opened it. It was a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

The old man said with a smile, "Go two hundred miles southwest. There's a Spring Wind Alley in the Huang Clan Village. It's in that alley. It's called Hong Liu."

The old man stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind him. He took out a Gold Buddha statue and placed it in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing reached out and picked it up. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

A day later.

In the Spring Wind Alley of the Huang Clan Village, Chen Qing looked at the plump woman in front of him. She was washing clothes by the river with a young child on her back. He walked up to her with the Gold Buddha statue in his hand. "Are you free?"

Hong Liu looked around embarrassedly. "Are you coming in the day?"

Chen Qing said softly, "I don't have much time."

Only then did Hong Liu pick up the washing basin and led Chen Qing to her house.

She closed the door and led Chen Qing into her room. She began to undress. As soon as she took off her coat, she saw Chen Qing put the item in his hand on the table and spread it out.

It was a Gold Buddha statue!

She was so shocked that she could not speak. Her legs gave out and she fell on the bed.

Chen Qing said quietly, "I want to use this Gold Buddha statue to exchange for your Gold Buddha statue. If you want money."

Chen Qing reached into his sleeve and took out ten gold bars. He placed them on the table. "This money is yours."

After a cup of tea's time, Hong Liu took out a Gold Buddha statue from under the bed. "I don't want these gold bars. Can I exchange them for some silver?"

Chen Qing was slightly stunned. He looked at Hong Liu seriously.

Hong Liu said, "This Gold Buddha statue destroyed my family. I don't dare to take it anymore. Since you're here for it, you must have the ability to keep it."

"I'm afraid of gold now. I don't dare to take it anymore."

"I just want to take some silver to feed my son."

Chen Qing reached into his sleeve again. He took out a hundred silver taels and ten copper coins and placed them on the table.

Hong Liu put away the silver taels and copper coins. She sat at the head of the bed. She was a little reserved. "Do you want it?

If you want it, I can accompany you for three days. "

"However, I can't get pregnant anymore. I can't raise two children."

Chen Qing shook his head. He picked up the two Gold Buddhas and the gold bars and left. "In the future, take this money and do some peaceful business."

"Do you have any trouble? If you do, tell me now."

Hong Liu said, "There's a family at the head of the village. They seem to know something."

"Oh right, my Gold Buddha statue is poisonous. Don't use your hands to hold it."

Chen Qing said, "I know."

Chen Qing walked out of the door and came to the head of the village. He casually threw the Gold Buddha statue that the old man gave him into the family.

As for what happened later, it was not something he could control.

After doing all this, he brought Poison Buddha back to Wohu City.

Opening the black cloth, the golden Buddha was still smiling solemnly, as if it was stained with blood.

The snake Gu flew out and swallowed this golden Buddha.

But fifteen minutes later, Chen Qing clearly saw that the promotion requirement was missing the words' Sin of the Human Realm Money '.

It seemed that this trip was not in vain.

Thinking back to that story, he realized that he was no longer in the human realm.

A hundred years later, Hong Liu would have turned into a skeleton, while he would still be in his prime.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of all these disturbing thoughts, trying his best not to think about these and forget that story.

Next, it was the nine lightless breaths.

The lightless breaths were stored in the glass bottle, at first glance, they looked like black smoke, but upon closer inspection, one could see the difference.

It was not that the lightless breaths were black, but that they could actually absorb the surrounding light.

After feeding the nine lightless breaths, he only needed to wait for the thirty-first of the second month.

During this sixteen days, Chen Qing needed to start making more preparations. If he wanted to follow the caravan south, he needed to display a decent Gu worm.

It was not good to display the ones he usually used, he needed to contract another one and nurture it to butterfly transformation.

Currently, he still had a fire Gu, but its quality was not high, it could not advance to butterfly transformation in a short time.

But he could contract it, now that he had enough money, he should only need two months to nurture it to butterfly transformation.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qing still decided to contract the fire Gu.

As long as he had spirit stones, his spiritual energy would be endless, he just happened to lack spell type Gu worms, allowing him to bombard them indiscriminately.

By nurturing the fire Gu to butterfly transformation, he should be able to add some group attack methods.

During this period of time, Chen Qing was recuperating, nurturing strength Gu, lightning Gu, fire Gu, and iron skin butterfly, and then practicing Da Kui Sword Scripture in the basement of the courtyard.

Although the courtyard here was expensive, there were still benefits, that was, there was an extra basement.

Cultivators had many secrets that they did not want others to discover, so almost all of them had basements.

Seven days later, his injuries finally healed, and Chen Qing could finally start cultivating again.

Jumping into the dry well in the courtyard, Chen Qing went through the hole in the wall and entered the basement.

Taking out the box of Thunder Spirit Feathered Fruits, Chen Qing ate them in big mouthfuls. They tasted crispy and numb, but he couldn't taste anything.

After eating more than ten, he felt that his body was full of spirituality. He quickly sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

After a night of bitter cultivation and eating the Thunder Spiritual Feathered Fruit, he finally reached the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

There were only three Thunder Spiritual Feathered Fruits left. Chen Qing kept them and did not eat any more.

Three wasn't of much use.

The Thunder Spiritual Feathered Fruit, which was worth 30,000 Spirit Stones, had only reached the bottleneck. From this, it could be seen that the medicinal efficacy of the Thunder Spiritual Feathered Fruit was not comparable to that of the Spirit Seizing Flower.

The Spirit Seizing Flower was still the best option.

Only then did he take out the Cinnabar Fruit.

Qi Refinement cultivators were not qualified to consume a treasure like the Cinnabar Fruit.

As for whether or not Foundation Establishment cultivators could eat it directly, well, he had never heard of it.

Which Foundation Establishment cultivator would be stupid enough to publicize the fact that they had eaten a Cinnabar Fruit?

But he had the snake Gu that was about to transform into a butterfly, he plucked up his courage and cut off a piece, putting it in his mouth. It was scalding hot, as if he had eaten a piece of charcoal.

However, it didn't burn him. He just couldn't taste it.

After swallowing a piece, he immediately felt his spirituality explode, as if it was about to overflow!

What a strong medicinal effect!

If he didn't cut it open and left it for the eighth level of Qi Refining, he might have a chance to break through the bottleneck!

He tried to break through, but in the end, he still couldn't open the eighth meridian.

Chen Qing looked at the remaining Cinnabar Fruit. He didn't feel any problem eating a piece, so eating the whole thing shouldn't be a problem either.

He picked up the scalding Cinnabar Fruit and put it in his mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing it.

It was as if he had swallowed a mouthful of magma. Unfortunately, when it entered his stomach, it was as if it had entered an oven. In just a short while, it turned into an extremely strong medicinal effect that flowed through his body.

Incomparably turbulent spiritual energy and medicinal effect rose in his body. Chen Qing immediately sat down and began to focus on breaking through.

Because he had eaten the Cinnabar Fruit, the spiritual energy in his body was also extremely violent. Chen Qing was overjoyed. The more violent it was, the stronger the spiritual energy flow. It was beneficial for him to break through the eighth meridian in his body.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

He began to use all his strength to control the spiritual energy to break through his eighth meridian.

The spiritual energy flowed endlessly like a huge river in his body, crashing against the bottleneck again and again like raging waves crashing against the shore.

After several hundred attempts, the spiritual pressure around Chen Qing suddenly shook, and he immediately felt lighter. The eighth meridian was broken through!

The medicinal effect was still there. He continued to sit down and began to consolidate his cultivation, to see if he could continue to open the eighth meridian.

After cultivating for a day and night, Chen Qing stopped. The eighth meridian had already broken through, opening one-sixth of it. He had to admit that this Cinnabar Fruit's medicinal effect was sufficient!

He opened his hand and a strand of spiritual energy appeared. It actually had a slight burning sensation.

This should be the aftereffect of eating the Cinnabar Fruit.

But the effect wasn't big. After a few days, the spiritual energy in his body would change and he would no longer have this worry.

Using the Fog Gu again, he adjusted his cultivation to Qi Refinement Stage Nine. Chen Qing slept for a while and went out. When he came to the notice board again, he found that a caravan heading south was recruiting experts.

He took a look and memorized the information before turning around and leaving.

It should take about a month to recruit. A month was enough to nurture the strength Gu to butterfly transformation.

He had never displayed the strength Gu before, but the strength Gu could transform into butterfly.

But he should still make some inquiries. He found a teahouse at the side and ordered a pot of tea and a pile of dried fruits, preparing to listen for any news.

The teahouse was not far from the notice board, naturally there were many cultivators waiting for new jobs here.

At this moment, a caravan heading south appeared, and there was a lot of discussion. "There are few caravans heading south."

"I heard the south is quite chaotic."

"Although there are few caravans heading south, the rewards are extremely generous!"

"Heh, the rewards are indeed generous, but the caravans heading south all want experts who have at least one butterfly transformation Gu worm, how can we accept them?"

"The journey to the south is thousands of li, if you don't have some ability, it would be strange if they want you."

Chen Qing casually asked: "Are there few caravans heading south?"

The teahouse owner smiled: "Normal, I heard there are only two or three caravans in a year."

Chen Qing put down a piece of silver and left.

It seemed he had to make some inquiries. The timing of this caravan's appearance was too strange.
