Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 201 - 134: The Flames of War, Will Burn to the Ends of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 201: Chapter 134: The Flames of War, Will Burn to the Ends of Heaven and Earth

Familiar with the path to the Linglong Divine Palace, Chen Qing surveyed the surroundings. After confirming there was no one else around, he prepared to continue exploring.

Wushang’s cultivation was low, likely no higher than the third or fourth level of Qi Refinement.

He wanted to eliminate all the dangers on the perimeter before Wushang arrived.

Meanwhile, he also wondered if there might be any gains to be had.

With a daily income of fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones, he could still consider it worthwhile.

Of course, this depended on having gains, as most of the time, he returned empty-handed.

Walking among the outer palaces and pavilions, Chen Qing noticed that the people of the Linglong Divine Palace greatly revered the Taotie, with many Taotie totems in several places.

Chen Qing had even seen a true body portrait of the Taotie on an altar table.

It seemed reasonable for a Divine Palace that practiced Physical Body Daoist skills and Divine Power Skills to worship the Taotie.

After all, like the Taotie, they were quite capable of eating.

And also quite capable of fighting.

In front was a pavilion. Pushing open the main door and entering the front yard of this pavilion, most traces had already decayed, and a water well, rusted and mottled, was actually made of some unknown Spirit Gold.

It remained recognizable as a well even now.

Ever since visiting the immortal island, Chen Qing had been particularly cautious about wells.

In this cultivation world, wells seemed to hold special significance, representing a unique Dao.

With a wave of his large sleeve, Chen Qing released a ghost he had captured in his sleeve, “Go down and scout for me.”

This ghost was one Chen Qing caught casually on the way, known for its many misdeeds. Believing in the principle of utilizing everything, he had it accompany him to scout the path.

Before long, the ghost emerged from the well. “There’s a big star down there, but I didn’t see any other ghosts.”

Chen Qing didn’t trust the ghost’s words and, with a sweep of his sleeve, put it away, then jumped into the well.

His reliance was: if even the ghost could return safely, then naturally he, Chen Qing, could also return safely.

Entering the dry well, the scene before his eyes changed dramatically; it was likewise a large star. Unlike the previous desolate star, this one was quite cold.

As soon as Chen Qing landed, a layer of white frost formed on his hair.

Ahead lay unknown dried bones. Approaching and picking one up, the dry bones seemed to be the remains of some ancient crocodile.

With a mouth full of fangs, about three meters long, the bones were golden, indicating this large crocodile was quite extraordinary in life, at least a pure-blood Exotic Beast.

However, time had passed, and they had turned to remains.

Could it be that the Linglong Divine Palace was wiped out?

Such a mighty Ancient Force, how could it be exterminated so thoroughly?

Holding this doubt, Chen Qing walked on this frigid large star.

The large star was roughly the size of a city. As the star didn’t belong to the earth, Chen Qing couldn’t extend his perception to see through it at a glance, so he had to find any remnants or scriptures himself.

Arriving in front of a frozen cold pond, Chen Qing tapped the mirror-like ice surface with his hand, a smile forming on his lips.

There was an ice layer, so perhaps there might be an Ancient Spiritual Seed sealed within!

Brushing off the frost and snow condensed on the ice surface, Chen Qing could clearly see a piece of jade-like lotus root sealed under the ice.

Was this Jade Lotus?

Though not considered a treasure medicine, it was a rare item within Spiritual Medicine.

With one punch, Chen Qing shattered the ice layer and picked up the Jade Lotus, as thick as a baby’s arm. Within ten breaths of holding it, it quickly decayed in his hand.

“What a pity, worn away by time.”

He opened each ice layer, spending a quarter of an hour, and every Jade Lotus he picked up decayed one by one.

Fortunately, Chen Qing found three frozen lotus seeds within the ice layer.

Holding them in his hand, Chen Qing carefully sensed with his sharp perception for Spirit Plants, “There is still life!”

“Bringing them back should allow them to grow!”

“Once Brother Xiao arrives, I’ll give them to him to cultivate.”

Carefully storing the three lotus seeds, Chen Qing came to the only residence on this Cold Star, which was made of ice. Despite enduring the long years, one could barely make out its shape.

With a wave of his sleeve, stirring the wind, Chen Qing walked inside, picking up a jade slip, which described some insights of the owner regarding their journey to the Demon King Court.

Not of much use, to broaden awareness was only related to the Demon King Court.

As for now, where was the Demon King Court?

Putting down the jade slip, Chen Qing looked elsewhere, finding three jade slips without a word on them.

Beside them, there were three Gu.

Feather Gu?

A derivation from the Soaring Scripture?

After contracting this type of Gu, one could possess a pair of wings. Even in the Qi Refining Realm, one could fly, with remarkable speed.

For the Qi Refining Realm, this was an exceptionally good Gu, but alas, for Chen Qing, it was ultimately not a spirit Gu.

Retrieving these three Gu, Chen Qing left this Cold Star once again, jumped out of the well, and proceeded elsewhere.

After exploring further, without significant findings, Chen Qing turned back to Jiuhe City, preparing to sleep.

“Sigh, going to sleep now would probably only give me three hours of rest before dawn.”

“Cultivation is indeed not easy!”

“I’ll rest today and venture out again tomorrow night.”

…

Chen Qing finally managed to sleep in and, after getting up, used a thousand pounds of Spiritual Medicine as breakfast, prepared to cultivate. However, after practicing for just one hour, Jiang Yuhu came to seek an audience.

“Sir, I have discovered traces of Nine Thunder Purple Cloud Qi!”

Chen Qing was somewhat delighted. A spiritual item Gu, and one needed for the ascension after Light Gu’s Harmonization, was indeed a very precious treasure.
