Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 112 - 95: The Bravery of Qingxu, Surpassing the Xuan Bird_2

The Bronze Body did not feel it sometimes, but now returning to his flesh and blood body, he finally felt the excruciating pain.

Especially in the waist and abdomen area, it was even more painful.

"You should just lie down for now," Xuanping’s voice came from beside him.

Chen Qing, hearing this, turned his head to look beside him. In the medicine house, there were only the two of them, Xuanping lying on a bed three steps away from him.

Were they really not treated separately?

Could it be that Xuan Mang, after hearing Yuan Ye’s words about inviting a son-in-law, also had this thought?

No, it was more likely for the purpose of recruitment and winning favor.

Before Chen Qing could speak, Xuanping said, "Did you hear? The arrowhead that the priest took from you weighed over a pound."

Chen Qing thought to himself, of course, he knew, it was on purpose.

Could it be that he wouldn’t risk his life for a woman he had only met twice?

"I was just focused on bringing you back, didn’t think too much about it."

Xuanping struggled to sit up, looked at Chen Qing wrapped like a dumpling, "All the way southward, thanks to you. If not for your fierce battle, I wouldn’t have made it back."

Chen Qing replied, "Just don’t forget the promise you made to me, that’s all I ask."

Xuanping laughed and said, "Now the outside world is spreading the rumor that you are the first Hu Kui of the Xuan Bird Tribe, the top of the Xuan Bird Tribe."

"I couldn’t move in the ice coffin, but I could still hear some noises from the outside world."

"You truly are impressive, living up to the name of the top of Xuan Bird."

Chen Qing was silent for a moment, "It’s just an empty title. I just want to live a peaceful life."

Xuanping was not someone good at chatting, spoke little, and Chen Qing wasn’t interested in chatting with her.

He took out a piece of lotus cake and put it in his mouth, crispy and sweet.

After a while, the door of the medicine house was pushed open, and Xuan Mang, smelling of blood, walked in, "Little sister, is this Qingxu?"

Xuanping replied, "It’s him."

Xuan Mang said, "You two should rest and heal well, and when your injuries have healed, and you have received your reward, I will have someone send you to the Qingxu Clan."

Chen Qing was puzzled, "Qingxu Clan?"

Xuan Mang smiled and said, "That’s right, since you are going to be the Hu Kui in Jiang Miaoxian’s tribe, her tribe will naturally treat you as their master, for the Qingxu Clan."

Xuan Mang seemed to be in his thirties, elegant and handsome, not like someone who kills on the battlefield, with a somewhat scholar-general demeanor.

"But that Yuan Ye, he insists on putting to death the unidentified Hu Kui, which makes it a bit tricky, but I will do my best to seek justice for you."

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

This justice referred to some compensation.

Chen Qing felt that if Xuan Mang could go this far, it would be commendable, so he nodded slightly, "Thank you."

After five days of healing, Chen Qing and Xuanping lay separately three steps apart, and the atmosphere was increasingly awkward.

Fortunately, that morning, Jiang Miaoxian brought four robust men, carrying a green bamboo sedan chair, saying they were going to take Chen Qing back to Qingxu.

Chen Qing saw that these four were also from the caravan and had no doubt, sat on it.

Stepping out of the medicine house, there were quite a number of people observing Chen Qing. Chen Qing felt those gazes and looked back, causing those people to quickly lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

It seemed that his reputation had spread throughout the entire Cold Mountain City.

Before Chen Qing could react, the crowd in front parted, and over sixty strong men, dressed in black, riding tall horses, surrounded Chen Qing.

After isolating Chen Qing from the crowd, Jiang Yu led the men to dismount, half-kneeling and shouting in unison, "Welcome, Hu Kui, back!"

The sound was loud and echoed throughout Cold Mountain City.

Chen Qing looked at Jiang Miaoxian beside him, "Is your tribe this large?"

Jiang Miaoxian replied, "Our family is a big tribe, we can muster a hundred good men!"

Chen Qing hadn’t expected this, looking at the more than sixty strong men in front of him, the lowest cultivation level being the fifth level of Qi Refinement, not lacking those in the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and even six in the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

Da Yan had many sects, and Nanli many tribes.

Under large tribes, there were many clans, resting and recuperating when there was no war, and gathering for war when necessary.

Chen Qing looked at the men kneeling on the ground, seeing only reverence in their eyes towards him, without much dissatisfaction.

It seemed that new Hu Kui taking charge was a common occurrence among them, and they didn’t mind much.

"Let’s go, back to the tribe."

Once Chen Qing gave the word, the four carrying him moved, heading to the Qingxu Clan surrounded by over sixty cavalry.

The Qingxu Clan’s residence was less than fifty miles from Cold Mountain City, located in a valley where a two-zhang wide river flowed alongside fields cleared by cultivation.

Deep in the valley were patches of Spiritual Field.

At the top of the valley, Qingxu Clan had opened up two large platforms, building numerous three-story small buildings.

In the center of the gorge was a ten-zhang wide iron bridge.

Above the bridge stood a six-story high building, suspended and built atop the iron bridge.

And here was Chen Qing’s residence.

With Jiang Miaoxian’s support, ascending to the sixth floor of the tall building, Chen Qing could see the entire Qingxu Clan at a glance.

In the distance, clansmen were planting medicinal herbs, and in the valley, mostly clansmen above the third level of Qi Refinement managed the Spiritual Field.

Chen Qing said, "Is there anyone in the clan who does not accept me?"

Jiang Miaoxian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked, "Why would anyone not accept you?"

"Both the Witch and the Witch had agreed, isn’t that normal?"

"With Hu Kui in charge, our tribe will only become stronger and stronger. Those neighboring tribes without Hu Kui are envious!"

Chen Qing let go of his worries, and overall, this place still fell under the Xuan Bird Tribe’s jurisdiction. They just lived relying on the tribe, but truly speaking, it was still the Xuan Bird Tribe.

Coming here was just like when he was crowned the Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall in Wuyou Mountain, just an internal transfer arrangement.

With Jiang Miaoxian’s help, Chen Qing sat on the tiger-skin chair, reached into his bosom, and took out a jade bottle, extracting the Qi Gu.

Although this Qi Gu was still there, it had little life span left, and he didn’t plan on contracting with it himself.

His gaze fell on Jiang Miaoxian—it was this girl who had traveled thousands of miles with him, and she was the only one he could trust at the moment.

It would be better to cultivate someone like Ling Jiu, to share the pressure of managing the Qingxu Clan, so he wouldn’t have to personally deal with everything.

"What’s your current cultivation level?"

Jiang Miaoxian replied, "I just broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement last year."

Chen Qing nodded slowly, "Come here."

He placed the Qi Gu in Jiang Miaoxian’s hand, "This Qi Gu was obtained from killing the enemy. Before she died, I forced her to reveal the materials needed for advancement."

"Remember, after contracting, the first material is the Sky-shooting Flower."

"After cultivating to the Second Transformation, come find me again."

Jiang Miaoxian, without any doubt, reached out to take it. Upon realizing it was a Qi Gu, she was immediately shocked, "This is a Qi Gu, it’s too precious!"

As one of the strongest types of Mortal Gu, even for a second contract, it held immense value, far surpassing ordinary Gu.

Chen Qing shook his head and said, "I’m not suitable for this Gu. Even if I contracted with it, it wouldn’t be of much significance. You take it."

Only then did Jiang Miaoxian reluctantly accept it, thanking him, "Thank you, elder brother."

Chen Qing asked, "Who was in charge of your tribe before?"

Jiang Miaoxian replied, "It was Elder Jiang Yu."

Chen Qing said, "Once you’ve contracted with the Qi Gu, I will let him know that you will be in charge, and unless it’s a major issue, don’t report to me."

"All tribal affairs, business as usual."

After speaking, Chen Qing waved his hand, "Go ahead, I want to sleep for a while."

After Jiang Miaoxian left, Chen Qing took out the golden scripture page given to him by Xuanping, "Golden Skin and Jade Bone? It requires Bone Gu, Iron Skin Gu, Copper Bone Gu."

"Upon successful cultivation, your body will be indestructible, capable of withstanding attacks from Foundation Establishment!"

"It sounds quite exaggerated."

Chen Qing estimated it and found that, compared to the Great Kui Sword Scripture, it also required three types of Gu. However, the difference was that the Golden Skin and Jade Bone Skills required a Bone Gu among its Gu.

Bone Gu, like Qi Gu, was one of the strongest Mortal Gus, something you couldn’t buy even if you had the money.

So, considering this, the Golden Skin and Jade Bone Skills should be stronger than the Great Kui Sword Scripture.

But the description of being able to withstand Foundation Establishment attacks, Chen Qing merely laughed at. Occasionally taking a few hits might not be a problem, but if you to face it head-on every time with your body, it would surely lead to a dead end.

Chen Qing suddenly pondered, relying on Snake Butterfly, he could mitigate the long-range attacks of Foundation Establishment. If combined with Golden Skin and Jade Bone, even if he slipped up, it wouldn’t lead to his death.

In facing Foundation Establishment, his survivability would be more secured.

If this technique was cultivated to perfection, perhaps he would have the strength to confront Foundation Establishment head-on!
