Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 69 - 68: Joy in the Human World

```

Ji Ru continued, "Even the Immortal Court Divine Son might not be able to hear the Heavenly Venerable explain the Great Dao."

Indeed, although they were neither Immortal Court Divine Sons nor naturally gifted with the Heavenly Dao Seed, possessing the talent of Three Yang True Veins.

They might have just been ordinary people.

Yet they had come to this gathering!

Perhaps, allowing them, just ordinary people, to possess the strength of Divine Sons and Goddesses would be considered a miracle by the world.

But Senior Taichu, with the ability to transform decay into miraculous, almost didn’t mind such miracles, using them as mere leisurely distractions.

Chen Qing sat there casually, pondering how many Soul Stealing Flowers to purchase on this trip.

The four people beside him only felt that Chen Qing was indifferent to these worldly matters.

Divine Sons and whatnot, don’t bother my mind.

At this moment, Xu Yaofeng finally gained some insight into the casual selection of three members as suggested by Chen Qing.

At least they should have potential close to that of Divine Sons and Goddesses.

Ji Ru privately thought that the Gu insect given to her by Senior Taichu was quite special, and the Foundation Establishment tribulation might not be weaker than King Grade Gu Foundation Establishment.

She could inquire more about the strength of the Immortal Court Divine Son from Princess Yi’an when she returned, to have more assurance.

In front of Princess Yi’an, as long as the Immortal Court Divine Son was mentioned, she would have endless things to say, making inquiries extremely convenient.

Seeing that everyone did not continue conversing, Chen Qing said calmly, "Then, today’s gathering is concluded."

After he spoke, the four of them stood up in unison, saluted Chen Qing, and except for Hu Yao, the other three instantly disappeared, leaving only Hu Yao, who seemed particularly interested in her remaining Spirit Stones.

This was the first time Hu Yao was the last to leave the gathering, and the amount of Spirit Stones this time was substantial.

She picked up her Spirit Stones, casually preparing to take them away, unpretentious and very outspoken.

At that moment, she was somewhat curious if Chen Qing would carefully count them like her and then take them away handful by handful.

Yet, she saw Chen Qing merely wave his hand, and the Spirit Stones in front of him vanished.

This scene startled Hu Yao, prompting her to exclaim, "Amazing!"

After speaking, she realized she might have misspoken, quickly lowered her head, and dared not look at Chen Qing.

How could the esteemed Senior Taichu possibly need her praise?

After a while, she finally looked up like a dazed squirrel, only to find that Chen Qing had long since disappeared.

Removing the bronze ghost mask, Chen Qing chuckled, "How adorable."

Chen Qing perceived the Spirit Stones in a peculiar space, finally determining an accurate number.

Five hundred and sixty mid-grade Spirit Stones!

Let’s see to what extent I can elevate my cultivation.

With a thought, he communicated with the Fog Gu, adjusting his Spiritual Energy fluctuation to Qi Refinement Fourth Layer, and then finally rested assured.

Recently, due to the departure of Feng Qi and Xiao Zhong as well as Gongsun Xiu, Wuyou Mountain became a bit desolate.

Chen Qing, however, didn’t concern himself with these matters, and while strolling in the Spiritual Ginseng Field, he sometimes saw robust Spiritual Ginseng, some protruding through the soil, revealing their plump and thick roots.

This once made Chen Qing doubt whether he had planted radishes instead.

Yet the enticing aura of the Spiritual Ginseng told him otherwise.

A breeze blew through, and the Spiritual Ginseng, which had settled its medicinal properties through the winter, sprouted small green shoots again.

Feeling the gentle spring breeze, Chen Qing felt immensely satisfied.

Sitting on the field ridge, he chewed on a piece of licorice, letting the Light Gu hidden in his sleeve enjoy the gentle spring breeze with him.

Being in such a flourishing scenery was immensely comfortable and made everything feel beautiful.

Having tended to the Light Gu and managed the Spiritual Field with the Grass Spirit Butterfly, Chen Qing was about to finish his duties when he encountered Shen Ao.

"Brother Chen, I was just about to find you!"

Chen Qing asked, "What is it, Senior Brother?"

Shen Ao grinned and said, "Naturally, it’s about Brother Ye’s wedding."

"Now that the situation is settled, the marriage of Brother Ye and the granddaughter of the Mountain Master of nearby Qingsong Mountain also needs to be scheduled."

"A few elders discussed and felt it would be best if you accompanied us."

Chen Qing, who didn’t much like going out, pondered upon hearing this news.

To put it simply, he was now one of the most precious treasures of the entire sect. His presence symbolized a wealth of Spiritual Ginseng and Blood Ginseng, a large amount of cultivation resources.

Having him go was also to represent the power of Wuyou Mountain, showcasing its robust strength.

Disciples in the production line represented financial strength.

Previously wiping out the Lotus Cave symbolized military strength.

With both financial and military strength, the marriage would proceed smoothly.

The union of Ye Yuntian and the Mountain Master’s granddaughter from Qingsong Mountain could also stabilize Wuyou Mountain further.

Both Ye Yuntian and Feng Qi took good care of him, making it difficult to decline. "Very well, I’ll accept this task. When do we depart?"

Shen Ao was overjoyed, "Brother Chen, as long as you’re willing to go, this marriage will certainly come together seamlessly!"

"I’ll call on you in three days!"

Upon reaching the Spirit Plant Hall, Chen Qing gave an order, instructing Li He to pick nine top-quality Blood Ginsengs from the Blood Ginseng Field.

Three days later, Chen Qing set out with the Blood Ginseng alongside Shen Ao, and just in front of the mountain gate, they saw He Ming from the Beast Driving Hall waiting for them for quite a while.

Beside him were twelve celestial cranes as tall as two people, occasionally stretching their wings and letting out crisp calls.

Only He Ming from the Beast Driving Hall had come, along with Chen Qing from the Spirit Plant Hall, while most others were disciples from the War Affairs Hall and Shadow Hall.

Including Shen Ao and Ye Yuntian, there were four from both the Main Hall and Deputy Hall Masters.

It was a rather grand occasion, with the hall masters present, and every accompanying disciple had a handsome appearance.

The usually bold Ye Yuntian was unexpectedly shy today and less talkative, making everyone laugh heartily.

"Brother Ye, I never thought you’d ever get embarrassed!"

Ye Yuntian retorted in a low voice, "Nonsense!"

He Ming, the oldest among them at forty-five, was seasoned and mature, considered the leader and elder of this trip.

He Ming smirked, "Just worried that when you, Brother Ye, take your partner, you’ll forget about us brothers while doting on your lovely wife."

Shen Ao laughed heartily, "If that happens, we’re digging our own grave!"

Ye Yuntian’s face reddened slightly, "Enough of that nonsense, our brotherly bond won’t allow me to forget you all!"

Looking around the crowd, Chen Qing noticed the presence of Yu Qingshuang.

Yu Qingshuang, with exceptional swordsmanship and personally taught by the Mountain Master, had greatly improved her strength and significantly contributed to previous battles by slaying three foes.

"Sister Yu, are you going too?"

Chen Qing curiously asked.

He Ming glanced over, smiling, "She’s worried that once you reach Qingsong Mountain, you’ll be too enchanted by the young ladies there, so she’s coming to keep an eye on you!"

Yu Qingshuang stomped her foot angrily, "You all are talking nonsense. If you keep at it, I’m not going!"

Only then did He Ming say, "Haha, it’s my bad, but Qingshuang, your great-grandfather and the Mountain Master of Qingsong Mountain are old friends. It’s not good if you don’t go."

The spring breeze warmed hearts, and under the gentle, warm yet not too intense sunshine, the little grasses sprouted, branches budded, and white and pink cherry blossoms bloomed in patches here and there.

Amidst cheerful laughter, the celestial cranes spread their wings and flew skyward, carrying the young talents of Wuyou Mountain toward the distance.

Sitting on the back of a celestial crane, Chen Qing overlooked the splendid spring while brothers and sisters shared happiness.

Such joy made this worldly journey worthwhile.
