Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 34 Abnormal People
Although Chen Qing ignored him, Yao Feng still reported earnestly, "Our branch is just a very small branch of the Jiguang Sect."
"When it was handed over to me, I only had four masks in total."
"One of them is the silver mask I am wearing now, and I have three bronze masks left."
"May I ask, senior, how should I select new members for these three remaining bronze masks?"
So there were five bronze masks still lost out there?
Chen Qing was actually not very concerned about this matter, are you the small cult leader, or am I the small cult leader?
Of course, it would be best if they were a bit wealthier.
However, Chen Qing did not mention this, it would be too lowly.
"Just be casual about it, handle it as you see fit," Chen Qing left with these faint words.
Yao Feng immediately felt the pressure immensely, having no requirements was the hardest part.
In case the new members he selected were unsatisfactory to Senior Taichu, it would be awkward.
It seemed that Senior Taichu had high standards for selecting new members, he needed to think of a way.
"Then I will report to senior when I have suitable candidates."
Chen Qing neither agreed nor disagreed, nor did he make any gestures, he just sat quietly.
Yao Feng sat nervously, saying no more, as he had already shared all the information he had.
Chen Qing originally thought the next to speak would be Murong Lang, but unexpectedly, it was Hu Yao who spoke.
"I heard from a friend that the Yin Yang Sect in the West Desert caught an Abnormal person."
Murong Lang was evidently quite curious, "What kind of Abnormal person?"
Hu Yao said, "It’s said to be a Gu Spirit Body."
Yao Feng asked, "Is it the type that can attract Gu like insects?"
Hu Yao said, "It should be, I heard the Yin Yang Sect is very active now, probably capturing many wild Gu like insects by enslaving this Abnormal person."
Chen Qing was secretly shocked, there were such physiques as Gu Spirit Body?
Could it attract surrounding Gu like insects?
Indeed extraordinary!
Unfortunately, with too little strength, it was exposed and could only become a tool for the cult.
The best fighters have no boastful achievements.
Hiding oneself well was most important.
Without strength, the greatest ability could only become someone else’s accomplishment.
Murong Lang suggested, "Then it’s best not to travel far recently."
Hu Yao nodded, "I will naturally be careful about this."
Murong Lang looked at Yao Feng, "Fellow Daoist Yao Feng, I wonder if there’s any news on the place I asked you to investigate."
Yao Feng said, "The place you mentioned, filled with thunder and never at rest, is quite like a place outside the world, not within this world."
"Of course, it might also be because the journey is too far."
"By the way, did the wooden house I suggested last time help?"
Murong Lang said, "There was a certain effect, but unfortunately, it was of little use for the birth of infants."
Yao Feng asked, "Have you not tried letting a few great cultivators stay in formation to resist the thunder, and rotate when they can’t hold it anymore?"
Murong Lang said, "That used to be how it was done, but unfortunately, a gentleman fell, creating a gap, and now it is the era of gaps."

Yao Feng said, "The True Monarch you worship may have already fallen or might be gravely injured and asleep."
"With the information you provided, I still can’t tell clearly."
Murong Lang put away his folding fan, "Thank you."
After a while, observing that no one had anything else to discuss, Chen Qing said, "Then today’s gathering ends here."
Red Lotus and the scholar stood up, "Senior Taichu, see you on the first day of the new moon."
Seeing Yao Feng had not yet left, Chen Qing asked, "Do you have any more matters?"
Yao Feng quickly stood up, bowed, and then said, "Senior Taichu, see you on the first day of the new moon."
Once again, only Chen Qing remained on the vast Cloud Platform.
It seemed that acting with more caution was necessary.
He should take the time to understand what entities like the Da Yan court, Immortal Court, Heavenly Master Mansion, and Yin Yang Sect really were.
Da Yan.
Ye City.
Yao Feng rose from beside a beautiful woman, reached out to feel her breathing, even and peaceful, obviously sleeping soundly.
After putting away the silver-white mask, he checked the door and windows he arranged with the beauty’s hair.
After ensuring no one had come, he took ten low-grade Spirit Stones from his pocket and placed them on the table, then walked out of Spring Breeze Building.
The cool night breeze blew gently, he donned a White Tiger robe and a feathered cap, with a Thunder Blade at his waist.
Walking on the street, everyone who saw him hurriedly avoided him as if avoiding the plague.
The Conglong Guard was famed as Da Yan’s fierce tiger, able to kill on the streets unpunished, everyone feared them.
After walking merely two streets, while eating a piece of rice cake, Yao Feng sensed someone approaching, and as he glanced sideways, he found it was his subordinate.
The subordinate whispered in his ear, "Sir, the Dock Master requests an audience."
Yao Feng put down the rice cake, dipped it in some sugar bean powder under the vendor’s frightened gaze, and took two big bites.
"Let’s go."
His subordinate had taken only two steps when Yao Feng turned his head, "Settle the bill."
The subordinate quickly took some Copper Coins from his pocket and handed them to the vendor.
In the eyes of all his subordinates, Yao Feng was extremely serious, always stern and imposing without anger.
Only then was Yao Feng satisfied, "That’s right, otherwise if I dare eat without paying today, tomorrow those Taoist bastards dare say I kill on the streets groundlessly."
After a brief visit to his office to hide the Ghost Mask, he left again.
As the night deepened, fewer and fewer people populated the long streets he walked.
At the end of the street stood a large Spirit Workshop.
Occupying an area of three miles, it stood in the center of Ye City like a small mountain.
At the entrance of the Spirit Workshop, Yao Feng waved his hand for his subordinates to wait nearby, bowed and said, "Subordinate Xu Yaofeng, here to meet the Dock Master."
Soon, two young people in Daoist robes approached, removed the Thunder Blade from his waist, and searched him.
After ensuring he carried no weapons, they blindfolded his eyes with a black cloth embroidered with ancient runes.
Xu Yaofeng immediately felt his senses growing dulled, a trait of the Binding Spirit Cloth, severing all senses and spiritual insights.
Truthfully, removing the Thunder Blade didn’t significantly affect his abilities.
But Xu Yaofeng understood, this was a warning.
Or rather, a ritual.
Feeling a distinct touch to his side, he grabbed it, sensing it to be a rope, though his senses were fuzzy.
Guided by the object in his hand, he walked for a quarter of an hour, unsure of how many turns, inclines, and declines he had traversed.
When the Binding Spirit Cloth was removed, he stood within a spacious grand hall.
Scanning the hall’s setup, aside from a White Tiger screen, there was nothing else.
On either side of the walls, one depicted the Tiger Roar Mountain Forest Map, while the other was the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Painting.
Xu Yaofeng swept aside his cloak, knelt on one knee, "Subordinate Xu Yaofeng, greets the Dock Master!"
From behind the White Tiger screen, a middle-aged man’s voice echoed, "The Heavenly Master Mansion is dissatisfied with the current war situation."
"The blood isn’t thick enough."
"The land is still not fertile enough."
"Among the three Conglong Guard commanders, your conduct is the most meticulous."
"You should release another spiritual item Gu."
A servant emerged from a room beside the grand hall, carrying a jade jar, and handed it to Xu Yaofeng.
Xu Yaofeng took it with a severe and indifferent expression, "This subordinate will surely fulfill the mission!"
