Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 98 - 88: Snake Gu Butterfly Transformation!_2

February 31.

Chen Qing left the dock where he lived and walked along the main road for a while before turning into the forest, traveling dozens of miles to a secluded valley, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

Because there was no moon, the night was very dark.

In a place where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, Chen Qing sat by a small river, quietly waiting for his Snake Gu to evolve into a Butterfly.

The Snake Gu resting on his shoulder also sensed the changes in the world, froze, and only emerged two hours later, already larger.

Besides getting bigger, it had surprisingly grown a pair of wings.

Not insect wings, but feathers.

A Feathered Snake?

It had previously looked like an ordinary little snake, but now the Snake Butterfly appeared somewhat divine.

When Chen Qing had contracted the Snake Gu, he had seen its devouring ability, but he had not expected that evolving into a Butterfly could grant it.

He immediately conjured a ball of fire in his hand, swept his sleeve, and it vanished instantly.

He tested it, and after exhausting his Spiritual Energy three times, he could no longer absorb anything.

Reflecting, if he encountered the Taiping Sect’s Divine Descent again in the future, it seemed that all he would need to do is wave his sleeve to seize the large hand.

He felt his sleeve, reached in with his divine sense, and it was as if he was entering a bottomless abyss.

Could the Snake Butterfly be a door, a door to a bottomless abyss?

He wondered what it would be like to take himself in.

He shook his head and dismissed the idea, realizing he was thinking nonsensically every day.

After more trials, he found it would reset roughly after an hour.

He thought of the scene during Foundation Establishment with hundreds of Sword Qi crossing the sky, and he felt confident he could withstand three such moves with Universe in the Sleeve next time.

Withstand three moves, not evade three moves!

In his current state, when facing ordinary cultivators of battle magic type, he could be considered unbeatable!

The opponent’s magic was almost useless against him.

This was the formidable strength of the spirit Gu!

He tried catching a rabbit to test, but he couldn’t absorb it.

It seemed living creatures couldn’t be absorbed.

March 1.

Chen Qing sat in the dock guest room, watching the rushing river outside the window, pondering what piece to teach Fu Luo tonight.

He didn’t remember many ancient tunes, besides Dragon Roar and Mountain and Stream, there was only Spring Snow and Phoenix Seeking Phoenix left.

Phoenix Seeking Phoenix was clearly inappropriate, so Spring Snow it would be.

After tonight, at the next gathering, he could know his true identity.

As for sheet music, it clearly overestimated himself, he just remembered the melodies.

At midnight, Chen Qing put on the bronze ghost mask.

He sat immovably and majestically at his position as usual, swept his gaze, and noticed the four were already assembled.

After brief greetings, Chen Qing said, "Now, let the gathering begin."

Xu Yaofeng, Murong Lang, and Hu Yao all sat quietly, seemingly not seeking Chen Qing’s guidance today.

Fu Luo glanced around, understanding that others were drawn to her Light Butterfly, hoping to see some change in it.

So she took the lead in displaying her Light Butterfly and said, "The Light Butterfly has reached Eighth Transformation, please guide me, Senior!"

Chen Qing glanced over, his tone indifferent, "Bifang Bird Feather."

To be fair, the growth material for this Light Butterfly was unusually bizarre.

Fu Luo bowed her head slightly, "Please grant me the tune, Senior."

Chen Qing smiled, his index finger tapping rhythmically on the table.

The other three held their breath, not daring to disturb Chen Qing’s actions.

After a cup of tea, Chen Qing softly said, "This tune is called Spring Snow, can you remember it?"

Fu Luo nodded, "Fu Luo remembers, thank you for the tune, Senior."

Just hearing it once, could she remember it, was it the Jade Gu’s effect?

Truly mystical.

Seeing that no one was inclined to inquire today, Chen Qing said, "Well then, you may start chatting."

Today, everyone seemed disinclined to chat, except for Hu Yao, who was unaware that everyone else’s minds were on Ji Ru’s Light Gu, and she said, "I now have an Iron Butterfly, a Power Butterfly, and a Copper Bone Gu about to transform, what Gu should I contract next?"

Xu Yaofeng said, "It’s best to find an Ancient Scripture, an Ancient Scripture can integrate the power of Gu and gather it into one, that’s real strength."

Hu Yao said a little troubled, "I see, Ancient Scripture and stuff, that’s quite difficult to get."

Murong Lang smiled and clapped his folding fan, "Coincidentally, my Thunder Pure Land was once a Demon Clan territory, and a large number of demon clan texts are preserved, maybe there are Ancient Scriptures."

"What kind do you want? I can keep an eye out for you."

Hu Yao was overjoyed, "Thank you, preferably a battle magic one, I like battle magic methods!"

Murong Lang thought for a moment, "A battle magic method should be there, I’ll go look."

Fu Luo took out a Book of Communication with Gods and handed it to Murong Lang, allowing him to quickly browse and remember.

Today Xu Yaofeng did not continue to talk about Taiyi, Nie Fei, and Zhang Taia, obviously cut off by the Taiping Sect, and he wasn’t very concerned, considered it just a curiosity.

Who knows if after learning the other person’s name was Taiyi, he would give up so easily.

Chen Qing wondered if Xu Yaofeng traced Taiyi, should he reveal that Taiyi was his sole disciple, only Xu Yaofeng seemed indifferent on this matter.

Oh well.

The gathering ended.

Though it was late at night, Fu Luo didn’t feel the slightest sleepiness. She got up, went to the gate of her palace, and awakened Little Tao, who was dozing off leaning against the door.

"Little Tao, have Cao Yizhi fetch a Bifang Bird Feather for me."

Little Tao rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Princess, do you have to go this late?"

Fu Luo popped a candied fruit into Little Tao’s mouth, "Hurry, hurry."

Nibbling as she went, Little Tao reached a dry well, tugged the copper bell hanging above it.

Soon, Cao Yizhi’s voice came from the well, "Little Tao, what is it?"

Little Tao said, "The Princess wants a Bifang Bird Feather, go get it quickly."

Hearing the wind sound coming from the well, Little Tao stepped aside, and Cao Yizhi leaped out like a fish, "I’ll go fetch it now."

Fu Luo’s mind in recent days wasn’t focused on class, constantly playing the zither alone in her palace, trying not to forget that melody.

She divided the tune into four sections, playing only one part at a time to not disrupt the moment.

Lying at the bedside, she curiously watched the purple light butterfly in her hand, "Butterfly, oh butterfly, why do you eat so slowly?"

"If only you could finish in a day!"

She lay back on her bed, imagining her Light Butterfly advancing to Harmonization Spiritual Item, "I wonder what abilities it would have after promotion."

"Shouldn’t it be somewhat related to the Senior, I wonder which part of the Senior’s authority it is."

She remembered Chen Qing once said, this was an experiment.

Then she wondered: hopefully, it wouldn’t fail, right?

After seven more days, she felt a sudden agitation and immediately returned to her palace, quietly watching as her Light Butterfly transformed into the Ninth Transformation.

Once the transformation was complete, and it grew slightly larger, she promptly ordered preparations for a bath.

This time, she wanted to play the zither with utmost seriousness, to completely perform the mysterious tune taught by Senior Taichu.

After bathing and calming her mind, she recited the Heart Clarity Spell for a while to keep herself calm.

Spiritual Energy was channeled into the Jade Gu, allowing her to become exceptionally focused, inducing a state of calmness.

She opened her hand, and the purple light butterfly flew out and perched at the corner of the guqin.

Then she began to play, the clear chime of the zither immediately resonating throughout her palace.

And outside the palace, it remained a silent night.
