Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 116 - 97 The Strength of the Immortal Court Divine Son_2

```

After subduing eight people, Chen Qing finally sat on the large tiger-skin throne, crossed his legs, and began cultivating, waiting for the hour of the Rat to arrive.

Spiritual Treasure Land, Thunder Pure Land.

The ancient and solemn High Priest sat on a large black thunder jade chair, holding the final message of this generation’s Daoist Master competition.

And below the stage, nine priests sat in the front, responsible for overseeing this Daoist Master competition.

Below the high platform, Murong Lang and eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators sat at the forefront of a large number of cultivators, waiting for the High Priest to announce the results of this Daoist Master competition.

Behind him sat thousands of cultivators from Thunder Pure Land.

The High Priest picked up a page of the Mystic Iron Book and began to read aloud, "One hundred people participated in verifying the text authored by Baili Changxi, and four were promoted!"

"One hundred people participated in verifying the text authored by Xuanyuan Yang, and five were promoted!"

Xuanyuan Yang was overjoyed, stood up, and received countless cheers.

Five was already an extremely high number!

"One hundred people participated in verifying the text authored by Tuoba Qingyuan, and four were promoted!"

...

"One hundred people participated in verifying the text authored by Diwu Guangzu, and six were promoted!"

Diwu Guangzu was overjoyed, stood up, and bowed to those around him, immediately causing a loud uproar.

In his view, this time, the Daoist Master was his for sure!

Six people, what kind of concept was this?

Even in the last Daoist Master competition, there were not six!

Murong Lang sat in place, feeling slightly nervous. Could centuries of labor from the Immortal Court really lose to a single Foundation Establishment cultivator?

The High Priest read out the seventeenth name and finally reached Murong Lang’s name.

"One hundred people participated in verifying the text authored by Murong Lang, ’Divine’s Beginning·Thunder Gu Chapter,’ and nine were promoted!"

The High Priest nearly shouted the words, and all the priests on stage looked towards Murong Lang, who was only at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment as Murong Lang politely stood up, held a scroll, and slightly bowed to those around him.

He originally expected eight people, but didn’t expect his luck to deliver nine!

This was already a higher ratio than that of the Immortal Court, although it was partly due to the vast number of Thunder Gu in Thunder Pure Land.

Although he had borrowed the Immortal Court’s "Book of Communication with Gods," when it came to Thunder Gu, Murong Lang believed his understanding was not inferior to that of the Immortal Court.

Now, after integrating the "Book of Communication with Gods," he soared to new heights!

After a brief moment of silence, the crowd erupted into waves of cheers, resounding throughout the entire hall without stopping.

Even the High Priest couldn’t hide his joy, exclaiming loudly, "I declare that in this Daoist Gathering, Murong Lang is the victor!"

"Promoted to, Daoist Master!"

"Gifted with Thunder Feather Fan, Flood Dragon Clothes, ascend to the Scripture Hall!"

Murong Lang rose, allowing two maidservants to equip him with the Thunder Feather Fan and Flood Dragon Clothes, and then he bowed deeply to the high platform, "Murong Lang, thanks the esteemed priests!"

After a series of bustling promotion ceremonies, Murong Lang and the child quickly made their way to the Scripture Hall and went straight to the storage area of the Demon Clan’s texts to begin consulting.

Walking past rows of iron book pages, Murong Lang picked up a page inscribed with the Ancient Scripture "Dragon Tiger True Gang" and turned around to leave the Scripture Hall.

The item Red Lotus needed was finally in hand.

He walked out of the Scripture Hall and glanced at the sky; it was time to attend the gathering.

Returning to his iron tower, he went to his room, shut the doors and windows, and put on the bronze ghost mask.

The other three seemed to have arrived earlier than he did. Hu Yao glanced at him curiously and saw him place a golden page on the table, nodding slightly.

Yet she couldn’t directly speak, as they needed to wait for Senior Taichu to arrive.

When the hour of the Rat arrived, Chen Qing finally appeared in his seat, and everyone began to greet him one by one.

Chen Qing gently nodded, "Fu Luo, Red Lotus, scholar, Yao Feng, good evening."

"Well then, let’s begin the gathering!"

Ji Ru once again inquired about the upgrades required for her three spirit Gu, contributing six hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones to Chen Qing’s delight.

Hu Yao and Murong Lang continued to inquire about their Light Butterflies and Hu Yao’s Copper Bone Gu, earning Chen Qing another one hundred and twenty mid-grade Spirit Stones.

As for Xu Yaofeng, he was still meditating on Yin Mountain...

An upgrade that doesn’t require money indeed takes a lot of time.

After the usual inquiries regarding the Gu upgrades, Chen Qing finally said, "You may start chatting."

Murong Lang immediately picked up that golden scripture page and handed it to Hu Yao, "The ’Dragon Tiger True Gang’ you wanted, I’ve found for you."

Hu Yao held up the scripture with both hands and presented it to Chen Qing, "Please, Senior, take a look."

Chen Qing took the golden scripture page and examined it closely; it required two Power Gu, Tiger Roar Gu, Thunder Sound Gu, a body with Dragon Energy, and Tiger Might for completion.

After mastering it, one’s arms would possess the power to cleave mountains and split stones, being able to fight against Foundation Establishment with Qi Refinement.

Indeed, it was very suitable for Red Lotus, but unfortunately not suitable for himself.

If he cultivated it, he couldn’t achieve great success. Where could one find Dragon Energy and Tiger Might?

The most difficult was Dragon Energy; one must find dragon-related Gu, yet unfortunately, even the lowest-grade dragon species Gu were spirit Gu, not easily found.

However, Red Lotus’s Light Gu, after Harmonization, would likely align with dragons, so having Dragon Energy shouldn’t be difficult.

This Dragon Tiger True Gang technique required not just four Gu, aside from two Power Gu, Tiger Roar Gu, and Thunder Sound Gu, but also needed one Dragon Species Gu and one Tiger Species Gu.

Now, Red Lotus’s Light Butterfly had already resolved the most challenging part.

This scripture integrating the mysteries of six Gu, including the need for a Dragon Species Spirit Gu, was so difficult to master that it was understandable it could kill Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If he could master it, he would, too.

Chen Qing put down the golden scripture he was holding and pushed it back to Hu Yao, "It suits you well; you can cultivate it once."

Hu Yao could barely hide her joy, "Thank you, Senior."

Hu Yao immediately picked up the scripture page and began to memorize every word diligently.

Seeing Hu Yao already studying the scripture like a child memorizing, Ji Ru said, "I dispatched a Foundation Establishment cultivator to spar with the Immortal Court Divine Son under the guise of an exchange."

"After sixteen moves, the Foundation Establishment cultivator I sent was defeated."

"Later, I sparred with this Foundation Establishment cultivator, struggling through ten moves, and was still defeated."

"I think it’s because I haven’t cultivated the scriptures, even though the Gu within me are strong, they can’t cooperate."

"Therefore, I’ve been looking up Ancient Scriptures recently."

Xu Yaofeng said, "Lasting ten moves without scriptures shows how powerful your Gu really are."

"What you need now is to find a suitable scripture and find a way to integrate your Gu."

Ji Ru nodded, "Do you have any recommendations?"

Xu Yaofeng said, "You have a spiritual item sword Gu, it’s best to find a sword scripture."

Ji Ru slightly bowed, "Thank you."

Xu Yaofeng watched everyone else talk and thought back to how he had been meditating on Yin Mountain for months, feeling somewhat helpless.

Chen Qing was somewhat looking forward to the sword scripture Ji Ru would cultivate; given her family’s wealth, it was bound to be something extraordinary.

After the gathering, Chen Qing removed the bronze ghost mask and began calculating the strength of Foundation Establishment.

Listening to what Fu Luo said, if the Immortal Court Divine Son could defeat a Foundation Establishment in sixteen moves, it meant defeating Foundation Establishment needed to be quick, not slow.

Once it dragged on, Foundation Establishment cultivators, with their vastly superior Spiritual Energy compared to Qi Refining, would surely win.

But it was different for him; he had a Snake Gu that could quickly recover Spiritual Energy.

Meaning, the difficulty he faced in battling Foundation Establishment was less than that of the Immortal Court Divine Son.

Of course, this was just speculation; the Immortal Court Divine Son might also have means to recover Spiritual Energy.

Let’s see what further information Fu Luo provides about how many methods Foundation Establishment has.

According to what he currently knew, the Spiritual Energy of Foundation Establishment far surpassed Qi Refining, and its flow speed was also much faster, with physical strength greatly superior to Qi Refining.

The Quality of Gu far surpassed that of Qi Refining Realm, but this didn’t apply to Chen Qing. Between him and Foundation Establishment’s Gu Quality, it wasn’t certain whose was higher.

So in reality, defeating Foundation Establishment wasn’t that difficult for him.

As long as he could withstand Foundation Establishment’s attacks, he could slowly wear them down to death.

He picked up the scripture on "Golden Skin and Jade Bone." The price for the meat Gu had already been negotiated, and the Spirit Stones had been sent, yet why hadn’t it arrived?
