Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 115 - 97 The Strength of the Immortal Court Divine Son

```

As for the old man’s words, Chen Qing dismissed them as nonsense.

"If you have the guts, go talk to Xuanping and Xuan Mang, see if they believe you."

Even so, upholding the custom of respecting the elderly, Chen Qing still let him stay for a meal.

On April 15, Chen Qing sat in the grand tiger-skin chair on the fourth floor, listening to Jiang Miaoxian’s report.

"On March 29, Liu Guang arrived in Cold Mountain City with the caravan led by Jiang Dahu."

"On April 2, Liu Guang and the others from the caravan were under the protection of Lord Xuan Mang."

"On April 3, Liu Guang heard that Lord Qingxu arrived and urged Lord Xuan Mang to deploy troops along with Jiang Yu."

"On April 5, Liu Guang inquired about the possibility of joining Iron Flow Valley, spending fifty spirit stones at Cold Food Building."

"On April 9, Liu Guang gifted Jiang Yu in hopes of joining Iron Flow Valley."

"On April 12, Liu Guang gifted me, asking me to speak well of him before you, my lord."

Chen Qing propped his head with his hand and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Miaoxian replied, "My lord, your reputation has spread throughout the Xuan Bird Tribe. Liu Guang is not the only one at the ninth stage of Qi Refinement who wishes to join Iron Flow Valley."

Chen Qing said, "I wasn’t talking about that."

Jiang Miaoxian then picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Qing. "My lord, Liu Guang sees that you have just arrived at Iron Flow Valley and that everyone else here was previously unified. As a newcomer seizing control of Iron Flow Valley, you may face disputes with the Jiang family."

"And if he joins Iron Flow Valley, with no one else available to you, he is likely to become the weapon you need against the Jiang family."

Chen Qing replied, "So, you’re saying my current subordinates are limited to the Jiang family’s influence, making it difficult to manage without external intervention to create a ’two tigers fighting’ scenario for me to control?"

Yet, he didn’t see this as a problem...

The entire Iron Flow Valley seemed to respect him fairly well.

So, Chen Qing asked, "In your current management, does Jiang Yu have any dissatisfaction?"

Jiang Miaoxian paused for a moment, "A little bit."

Chen Qing’s expression turned slightly cold. "If that’s the case, let Liu Guang join Iron Flow Valley and work under you."

Although he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, Chen Qing could clearly feel that his aura had already formed. For ordinary cultivators to challenge him was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even for those at Foundation Establishment, they would need to consider carefully.

"Go summon Liu Guang inside."

When Liu Guang entered the fourth floor, Chen Qing didn’t mention Iron Flow Valley to him. Instead, they chatted about trivial matters for over an hour, without a word about Iron Flow Valley.

In the end, he granted Liu Guang’s request to work in Iron Flow Valley.

A cultivator at the ninth stage of Qi Refinement, with an annual salary of eight thousand spirit stones, made Chen Qing quite reluctant.

But considering these spirit stones came from Iron Flow Valley, Chen Qing felt much better.

After Liu Guang left, thoroughly puzzled, Chen Qing summoned Jiang Miaoxian to gather all the young members of the clan with Butterfly Gu to come to him.

Nanli was different from Wuyou Mountain. Here, conflicts might arise in the future. Besides training Jiang Miaoxian to be a general manager, he needed to cultivate a few trusted aides.

The meat Gu hadn’t been delivered yet, the Copper Bone Gu was still on the way, and Spirit Ginseng could not grow in a day. Idling was just idling.

Moreover, to continue acquiring a large amount of resources, going through wars was inevitable.

To gain the most resources from warfare, and also to protect his own life, it was wise to train a few trustworthy people.

The most fascinating thing was that he discovered most of the young men in Nanli had Power Butterflies, while he held a large number of Thunder Gu and sword Gu!

It wasn’t impossible to train a few miniature versions of himself.

Instead of selling them for a meager two thousand spirit stones, it made more sense to cultivate a few good hands for his conquests.

Jiang Yuhu, at twenty-seven, was at the eighth stage of Qi Refinement and possessed a Power Butterfly, considered a rising star among the younger generation in Iron Flow Valley.

That day, following Xuan Mang into the Yuan Rang Tribe, witnessing Chen Qing’s tiger-like might as he single-handedly charged through two hundred men, Jiang Yuhu was captivated and full of admiration.

Upon hearing Chen Qing’s summons, he immediately put down his massive axe, left the youngsters under his command to practice on their own, and rode toward the iron bridge.

Upon arriving at the bridge, he found that almost all young members of the clan with Butterfly Gu were already there.

There were eight in total.

After exchanging a chest thump with his buddy, Jiang Shanhu, he saw Jiang Miaoxian walking down the iron staircase, which was a yard wide. "Jiang Yuhu, come up here."

Jiang Yuhu obeyed and ascended to the fourth floor, where he saw the Tiger General who had single-handedly fought through two hundred miles.

At this moment, Chen Qing’s aura was firmly established. Jiang Yuhu made no effort to hide the admiration in his eyes, kneeling on one knee, "Jiang Yuhu, at your service, my lord!"

Chen Qing gestured for him to rise and slowly walked over to Jiang Yuhu, taking out a jade bottle. "These are a sword Gu and a Thunder Gu that I acquired during my ten years of wandering the martial world."

"Before they died, I managed to extract the Promotion Map for these Gu."

"Take them and form a contract."

Jiang Yuhu was overjoyed, thinking to himself, this is the advantage of having a Tiger General in the tribe!

The man before him had defeated two Tiger Generals in chaotic warfare and fought through two hundred miles. Even among Tiger Generals, he was an exceptional case!

Such a strong person having some Gu with knowledge of the Promotion Map was truly common.

Chen Qing beckoned Jiang Yuhu closer. "Remember, the first advancement material for the Thunder Gu is mica, and the first for the sword Gu is sword heart grass."

Jiang Yuhu immediately knelt on both knees, "Jiang Yuhu pledges to follow you to the death, my lord!"

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Tomorrow, accompany me to practice swordplay by the Spiritual Ginseng Field."

Patting Jiang Yuhu on the shoulder, Chen Qing instructed Jiang Miaoxian to summon the next person.
