Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 90 - 85: The Crouching Tiger and Immortal Servant (Combined)

Nie Fei picked up a jade box, opened it, and saw it was just Blood Ginseng. He tossed it aside and said, "Hurry up, once we finish looting, we’ll set fire to it!"

Nie Fei’s way of doing things was something Chen Qing really liked.

Chen Qing felt within the space of his Snake Gu; it seemed there was still enough room to fit two more boxes of treasures.

If there wasn’t anything particularly valuable, he’d just have to collect some low-grade Spirit Stones.

After searching around, both Chen Qing and Nie Fei were somewhat disappointed; this Taiping Sect base was a bit too poor.

There were no particularly precious treasures, not even as much as in Wutong Mountain.

But then again, it made sense; this base didn’t have a Foundation Establishment guard, so it should be poorer.

It’s just that life is full of uncertainties, not everything goes as one wishes.

Resigned, Chen Qing had to fill the space in his body with low-grade Spirit Stones and picked up a box of Spirit Ginseng, munching as he walked.

Nie Fei turned back and spewed out a flame, igniting a large quantity of Spiritual Ginseng Wine. Only when the fire was raging did he catch up, saying, "You like chasing us, huh? Let’s see if you keep chasing now!"

They took advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the cave entrance of the Taiping Sect base; ahead by the lakeside, dozens of Taiping Sect disciples were fighting with the prisoners. Chen Qing patted Nie Fei on the shoulder, who was watching the scene, "Let’s go!"

Nie Fei nodded, and the two flew away, heading towards the distant woods.

It was Chen Qing’s first time going far, and he didn’t know much about the outside world. "Where do we go next?"

Nie Fei replied, "I’m planning to find the Immortal Land, are you coming?"

Upon hearing the name Immortal Land, Chen Qing knew there must be treasures involved, but truth be told, he wasn’t very eager for treasures right now.

He urgently needed a stable environment to absorb what he had gained.

These Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicines could significantly boost his strength, possibly even allowing him to fully master the Great Kui Sword Scripture.

Moreover, since it was the Immortal Land, it was likely full of dangers, and he didn’t have Nie Fei’s ability to change forms to travel freely.

Chen Qing shook his head, "I want to quietly cultivate for a while, to digest my recent insights."

Nie Fei said, "Alright then, sigh, after all this wild looting, I’m actually a bit reluctant."

Chen Qing laughed, "There will always be chances to meet again."

Nie Fei replied, "Alright then, I’ll make a mark. If you see it in the future, you’ll know I’m nearby."

Seeing the mark Nie Fei drew, Chen Qing nodded, "Remember to use materials with different disappearing times."

Nie Fei laughed, "Isn’t that common sense?"

"By the way, if you’re looking for a stable place, I recommend you visit Wo Hu City, find a caravan, and head south with them."

"Our Jiguang Sect finds a bit of peace only in the south."

Chen Qing asked, "Is there a specific place you’re suggesting? Like our Jiguang Sect’s base in the south?"

Nie Fei shook his head, "Our Jiguang Sect doesn’t have a base. The world is my home, with the sky as our quilt, and the ground as our seat!"

"The world is vast, and there’s nowhere our Jiguang Sect can’t go."

Chen Qing asked again, "Where did you get that Mirror Gu?"

Nie Fei wasn’t afraid Chen Qing would get greedy. He laughed, "This, ah, is a one-of-a-kind treasure in the world; you won’t find another one."

"Alright, enough said, I’m off!"

Chen Qing watched as Nie Fei transformed into an eagle and flew away, lightly saying, "Until we meet again!"

Three days later.

February 12.

In front of Wo Hu City.

Chen Qing slightly lowered the brim of the bamboo hat on his head, approached the city gate, paid five low-grade Spirit Stones, and walked into the bustling Wo Hu City.

At this moment, he was dressed in a practical set of sword clothes and wore a brimmed hat with face covering, looking every bit like a wandering ascetic.

The prosperity of Wo Hu City genuinely surprised Chen Qing; there were no vendors, only tall buildings everywhere.

Inside the city was a lake, with music towers and pavilions scattered all around it.

However, there were no scenes of gold lying everywhere or jade as tiles.

After asking around, he found out that to find vendors, he would have to go to the chaotic Lantern Street.

Chen Qing first went to Wanbao Pavilion, bought the materials needed for his Guchong to upgrade, and also bought a Rejuvenation Gu. Then he went to look for a bulletin board to see if there were any caravans heading south.

Upon arriving at the bulletin board, the first thing Chen Qing saw was the bounty on him and Nie Fei.

Nie Fei was worth more than him?

His bounty was two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, while Nie Fei’s was three hundred thousand.

But thinking of the fact that Nie Fei’s Mirror Gu was a unique Gu, he was relieved.

That Mirror Gu was extremely mystical, capable of transforming into others or insects to escape, and able to transform into Exotic Beasts for combat; it was truly an all-in-one marvel and an incredibly precious Gu.

He looked at the bulletin board and saw there were indeed tasks recruiting guards for caravans, but most were heading toward Da Yan or the West Desert.

It seemed he had to wait a bit longer. After spending a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, he painfully rented a yard, deciding to wait for a southbound caravan.

Walking down the street with his bamboo hat on, Chen Qing constantly felt like someone was glancing at him occasionally.

He scanned his surroundings and realized he was the only one wearing a black veil over his face in broad daylight, which instead attracted attention.

Entering the yard he rented and closing the door, Chen Qing thought to himself, this yard was truly expensive!

When he was earning money with the Grass Spirit Gu, it would only net him about two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones for a night’s work, yet this lousy yard cost a hundred!

It was practically daylight robbery.

He drew a bucket of water from the well, placed it into a bath barrel, took out the red fruit, and after a moment in the barrel, the water started to heat up.
