Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 464 - 266: Three Strange Gu Insects_2

```

If Nie Fei were to get hold of this Gu, it would truly be a perfect match, a collaboration of scoundrels, like adding wings to a tiger, with effects said to be capable of bringing down the heavens and the earth!

The contract conditions were not impossible to fulfill.

Let Xu Yaofeng unfold the Extreme Cold Domain, so that Nie Fei drank the water within it and surely broke his teeth!

Hmm, that’s assuming Nie Fei had teeth gaps.

A punch should fix that, create a gap between his teeth.

Chen Qing said, "Interesting, so, what do you want to ask?"

Hu Yao inquired about the requirements for the advancement of several spirit Gu.

After Chen Qing explained one by one, he fell silent once more.

Because Xu Yaofeng spent too long in the Death Realm, he rarely encountered unusual Gu and did not offer any.

Murong Lang folded up his paper fan, pulled out a slip of paper, glanced at it, and took out a jade bottle.

"Senior, this is an extremely strange Gu I brought."

"Incredibly easy to overlook and forget."

If it weren’t for the obvious information prompts in front of Chen Qing, he might have completely failed to notice this Gu.

The other three also had puzzled expressions.

[Mortal Gu·Yesterday]

Quality: Third Transformation

Life Span: 1/80 ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Effect: The world habitually forgets it, even time itself.

Growth Requirements: Today’s memory

Growth Progress: 52/100

Trait:

[Forgetting]: Its life span might sometimes be forgotten by time, so, is now today or yesterday?

Promotion Requirements: Ninth Transformation, Mortal Gu·Yellow Flower.

Taking this jade bottle, Chen Qing couldn’t help but think that this Gu’s trait was indeed hard to describe.

What could be foreseen was that this Gu’s special effects might have incredibly bizarre applications.

Murong Lang awkwardly said, "Senior, I remember I brought a Gu, but I seem to have forgotten to bring it, sorry."

Chen Qing turned his head, slightly startled in his heart.

"No, you brought it, you may ask your question."

The other three looked at Chen Qing strangely, as if they had no recollection of such a thing.

A particularly strange Gu?

But after Chen Qing confirmed it, everyone recalled a slight memory.

After Murong Lang finished asking his question, the gathering ended.

Everyone left the gathering, and Chen Qing waved his hand, collecting the Gu he acquired today.

"Hmm, how come there are four?"

"Yesterday!"

"I was affected too, but not as strongly as they were."

"A mere Mortal Gu can forcibly interfere with cognition, is it really just a Mortal Gu?"

"There must be a greater secret behind this Gu."

"However, it’s hard to investigate, and I might forget about it tomorrow."

Three months later.

After three reckless sons of the Da Yan noble family challenged Chen Qing and were shattered by a punch, the day for Da Yan’s Princess Ruyi to challenge Chen Qing finally arrived.

At first, they had expectations that someone could withstand seven strikes from Chen Qing.

But now, faced with the bloody truth, they no longer held such strong confidence.

All three were equipped with high-quality King Gu accompanying spirit Gu, yet none could withstand even one strike.

Under the Sky Splitting Skills, none survived.

Furthermore, in the historical records, this matter was but a passing mention.

Ji Ru was not overly concerned about this matter herself, upon learning of Chen Qing’s wager, she quickly understood that Chen Qing intended to use this event to get rid of the troublesome Iron Horse Ice River.

King Gu always provoked envy.

At the same time, she would establish her prestige in Da Yan.

However, Da Yan could not entirely disregard it, so they placed another heavy bet, sending over the King Gu Xiezhi.

So now Ji Ru completed each day in intense training.

To fully simulate Chen Qing’s strength for Ji Ru’s training, Da Yan used treasures to suppress Ji Ru to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Then, they let Cao Guanxiu make a move, and Ji Ru tried to hold on for seven moves.

This was Da Yan’s assessment of Chen Qing’s strength, which is, even with a King Gu, one was as weak as a Foundation Establishment under Chen Qing.

A Sword Dao Grandmaster wielding Heavenly Punishment, who later broke through to Grandmaster by himself and firmly sat in the Grandmaster’s seat, Chen Qing was nothing short of a monster to others.

At that moment, Chen Qing was still in a city of the Jiguang Sect, observing numerous Light Gu.

Xu Yaofeng did not ask Chen Qing what he needed those Light Gu for, as being under the same command of Taichu, some matters didn’t need to be spoken, as each understood without words.

The Jiguang Sect had a larger inventory of Light Gu than Murong Lang’s place, with just Nanli alone possessing tens of thousands.

Selecting a useful King Gu for Chen Dan from among the many Light Gu was not a simple task.

After examining over a thousand Gu, he only found two Gu with extraordinary potential that showed great prospects for advancement to King Dao.

Chen Qing did not decide on which King Gu to give Chen Dan on his own; on this matter, Chen Qing wanted to see what Chen Dan himself thought.

He was not of this world to choose all the paths for his descendants.

He respected his son’s choices, also, Chen Dan was at least blessed with seven points, perhaps eight, of the world’s Cultural Fortune, making the child innately intelligent, which might yield some unexpected ideas.

Chen Dan possessed the wisdom to make his own choice.

After performing a scene with Ji Ru, it was time to see this child.

While in the selection process, Yu Qingshuang approached, "After you make your choice, could I deliver it to Chen Dan?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "You still need to continue in the Death Realm, drinking fish soup with me until you can truly rely on yourself to contract Heavenly Punishment."

He indeed could keep Yu Qingshuang by his side for seven years, allowing her to contract Heavenly Punishment.

But that wasn’t what he wanted.

Such a contract came with endless problems.

Drinking fish soup was merely suffering for a moment without leaving hidden troubles.

Simultaneously, Chen Qing had a deeper understanding of his authority.

Drinking the fish soup, strengthening the Divine Soul, symbolized his authority in the path of the Divine Soul.

Yu Qingshuang said, "Then you should choose someone reliable."

Chen Qing said, "I’ve considered this, let Xuan Mang go, Xuan Mang is Dan’er’s biological uncle, and now he ranks as the top among all the generals. With him first returning to the human world to arrange the palace, I’ll be at ease."

"After I ascend the throne, let Wushang and the surviving Dragon Cavalry return to the human world."

"Thus, borrowing the Sky-reaching Realm and Feather Transformation Realm from the Qilin Temple and Dao Origin Land, our Wen Country can at least have a basic framework established."

"Also, my current authority, is to command all Cultivators in Nanli of Mystic Gate Realm and below. It can almost be said that the entire Nanli, except for the Nine Royal Cities, falls under my jurisdiction."

"It’s time to call Jiang Xingchuan to the Death Realm to stand guard with me."

Jiang Xingchuan held too much authority in the human world, needing slight suppression.

The main reason being: Jiang Xingchuan himself had not come to the Death Realm to participate in the battle, only continuously providing troops.

This caused those generals who truly partook in the Death Realm battle to feel resentment upon knowing Jiang Xingchuan’s authority in the human world.

Aside from these personnel changes, Chen Qing had many other bothersome matters.

For instance, how to set up the court, organize the military, award various highly decorated generals in his Wen Country, and how to arrange them, were all issues.

Also, upon leaving the Death Realm, how to continue maintaining the rule of the Death Realm to ensure everything was fail-safe was another troubling issue.

The Water Country had not yet been eradicated, and he hadn’t established a definite fiefdom for himself in the human world; before this matter was settled, Chen Qing wasn’t keen on returning to the human world.

The Nine Nation Palace sounds good in being able to reside in any of the Southern Nine, but to put it bluntly, you get suppressed by the local king; even though you are already the sovereign of a country, your strength is only at the Mystic Gate Realm, making it easy to fall into manipulation.

Indeed, he could call the shots in the Death Realm, but upon returning to the human world, there are a whole bunch of troubles.

It’s still better to quietly develop in the Death Realm and arrange everything properly before returning to the human world.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing suddenly thought of his senior brother Dan Yangzi, who was known to be straightforward, and figured it might be worth luring him into the palace to help hold the fort.

As he thought of this, Su Yi hurriedly arrived, bowing deeply, "My king! Princess Ruyi has arrived!"
