Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 173 - 122: Cultivation Has Always Been a War (Super Long Chapter)_3

Chapter 173: Chapter 122: Cultivation Has Always Been a War (Super Long Chapter)_3

The Great Witch then let him go for a meeting, and as soon as he stepped inside, the Great Witch spoke, “No need to send those soldiers to see me off, I just need to see you succeed.”

“Making too much of a fuss can be troublesome.”

“Since you have done it, we can now start discussing the conditions.”

The Great Witch didn’t mince words and got straight to the point, “I only have one condition.”

“Whether you marry the one called Yu Qingshuang or not is your business, but Xuanping must be the main wife!”

“If Yu Qingshuang wants to enter the household, she can only be a concubine.”

...

To be honest, the conditions put forth by the Great Witch were already exceedingly generous, and he didn’t even oppose Yu Qingshuang entering the household.

Chen Qing said, “I haven’t completed my cultivation, and I dare not discuss marriage. Let’s talk when I reach the Great Witch’s level.”

Surprisingly, the Great Witch wasn’t angry, “So be it then, let the youngsters decide their own affairs.”

The Great Witch walked into the back hall, took out a book half a foot thick, and placed it in front of Chen Qing, “This is my knowledge from two hundred years, all recorded here. Take it back and study it well.”

“This time when I leave, I will take Xuan Mang with me to help with my work, and this Cold Mountain City will be entrusted to Ping’er.”

“Guard this family business well while you are at home!”

“After you succeed in Foundation Establishment, before preparing to enter the Death Realm, inform me three years in advance, and I will help arrange for the capital city to open the Ghost Gate.”

“Before entering the Death Realm, you must cultivate at least ten who have reached Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment to accompany you into the Death Realm.”

“Otherwise, entering the Death Realm will lead you to a place where even your body won’t be recovered!”

“During my time in the capital city, I will strive to procure the Longevity Gu for you so you can make one more self-inflicted cut.”

“The chaos in the Ghost World far exceeds that of the cultivation world.”

“Under the pressure of dwindling life span, everyone has gone mad, turning into evil ghosts.”

The two engaged in secret talks for three days and nights, broadening Chen Qing’s horizons.

He learned how fierce the struggle in the Death Realm truly was.

Suddenly, he seemed to grasp the significance of the Death Realm, realizing that Loose Cultivators had no standing there.

To ascend to the Ghost Face Realm and cultivate in it, one must rely on a major power.

It seemed to be a place designed to consolidate the authority of major powers.

The authority of major powers was vividly displayed here.

This was still what remained after the decline of the Jiguang Sect; one could only imagine what a colossal entity it was at its peak.

After the conversation with the Great Witch concluded, Chen Qing returned to Iron Flow Valley,

waiting for his twenty-one Hu Kui to come pay their respects.

On the third of November,

the entire Iron Flow Valley was bustling, for the twenty-one tribes’ Hu Kui were soon to gather here.

Cart after cart of wine was hauled into Iron Flow Valley, and the entire place was imbued with the fragrance of alcohol.

The cat demon felt a bit bored, lounging on the rooftop, feeling a little annoyed by the large number of visitors.

Everyone had become busy as the scent of roasting meat drifted through the valley. Various demon beasts hunted in the recent war were being delivered.

Grilled over racks, while the meat smelled delicious, no one was there to play with her.

Then, a few children climbed onto the rooftop quietly, thinking she was unaware, though she knew all along.

A young boy kicked the three chubby kids around him, then hugged the cat demon.

Only then did the cat demon become happy.

From a distant pavilion, Chen Qing awkwardly watched this scene, unsure if that boy could sleep well after seeing the cat demon’s human form.

Surely there couldn’t be human and demon love affairs happening in his domain?

Should he make that little fellow read some books?

Hmm, it seemed fox demons liked scholars.

But with cat demons, who could say.

Shaking his head, Chen Qing, seeing the valley ablaze with vibrant scenes, couldn’t help but smile.

This appeared to be the scene of a burgeoning major power.

Suddenly, over a hundred warriors burst in riding on fiery horses, dismounting at the mouth of the valley under the leadership of Mei Zuochen, having arranged the horses before bringing the warriors inside.

Upon entering the valley, Mei Zuochen’s first words were, “Once you’re in the valley, don’t cause trouble, just eat and drink to your fill, and if you dare to disturb, don’t blame me for strict military discipline!”

Gradually, in the entire morning, twenty-one armies, led by their respective Hu Kui, arrived to station outside Iron Flow Valley.

These three thousand-plus cultivators, amidst such grand spectacle, led the arriving warriors to sense an unusual aura.

“Have the Hu Kui come here to pay respects to some great person?”

“There’s not just one Hu Kui visiting, I asked around, there’s as many as twenty-one Hu Kui!”

“What kind of great person could it be?”

“Even the Great Witch might not have such influence, wouldn’t you say?”

“Heh, the Great Witch is currently in Cold Mountain City, yet we’re here first to pay respects, what do you think?”

“Doesn’t that mean the influence is even greater than the Great Witch’s?”

“Don’t bother with that, those are matters for the big people. We just need to eat meat, drink wine, and wait for the rewards to come!”

“This time, I slew three enemies, definitely made great contributions!”

Yuan Wujue was the first to arrive but the last to bring people in.

Upon entering the valley, he was warmly welcomed by the various Hu Kui. Everyone was chatting and laughing as they prepared to meet Chen Qing.

Yuan Wujue walked through this valley, which he had only inhabited for a few months, feeling the scent of wine and meat, which diluted the smell of blood on him, making him feel very comfortable.

The valley was particularly lively at this moment, even in the Yuan Rang Tribe, he had never seen such a bustling scene.
