Fog Gu Obtained

Murong Lang did not hide anything. "Most of the cultivators here use the Thunder Butterfly as their Life Origin Gu.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I might also use the rank-nine Thunder Butterfly as my Life Origin Gu."

Hu Yao said, "In any case, my Strength Gu has already turned into a butterfly and can become the foundation of the Dao. I want my Strength Gu to become a Life Origin Gu for my Foundation Building."

Murong Lang looked at Chen Qing carefully, and realized that Chen Qing had no reaction. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.

'Looks like the two of us aren't important enough in Senior Absolute Beginning's eyes.'

Otherwise, Senior Absolute Beginning might have reminded him.

'However, it makes sense. If not for Senior Absolute Beginning, we would only be two ordinary people now.'

Murong Lang said, "But I plan to wait a little longer. I'll take a look after I nurture this Sword Gu into a butterfly."

Red Lotus said, "We are not like those core disciples of the Pure Land who can have high-quality Gu insect contracts that exceed mortal grade. Moreover, according to rumors, high-quality Gu insect contracts also have certain requirements."

Murong Lang said, "Not only that, Gu insects that surpass the mortal grade will have extremely powerful abilities.

"Even the core disciples of the Pure Land don't necessarily have the qualifications to form a contract.

"A Gu insect that surpasses the mortal grade is too rare."

Murong Lang thought for a moment. "We paid our respects to Nine Tribulation True Monarch this morning. Unfortunately, Nine Tribulation True Monarch still didn't respond this time."

Hu Yao asked curiously, "What's Nine Tribulation True Monarch?"

Murong Lang secretly observed Chen Qing's reaction, and said, "The creator of the Thunder Pure Land."

Hu Yao asked, "Was the one who created the world the Nine Tribulation True Monarch? Wasn't it the Nine-Headed Golden Crow?"

Murong Lang took a deep look at Hu Yao, and even Chen Qing secretly glanced at her.

This girl was from the demon race!

Chen Qing glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye. Scholar and Female Demon. Hahaha, interesting.

However, Scholar was slightly taller, and the Female Demon was more honest.

Amazing!

Hu Yao had no idea that she had exposed her race. The two chatted for a while more before falling silent.

Seeing that they really could not say much about the Life Origin Gu, Chen Qing tapped his index finger on the table rhythmically. "Then today's gathering ends here."

After Murong Lang and Hu Yao left, Chen Qing waved his hand and disappeared with the spirit stones.

The cloud platform that towered above the nine heavens fell silent again, and the clouds rolled away.

Chen Qing took off the bronze mask on his face, and looked at the 55 medium-grade spirit stones in front of him.

After hiding the spirit stones, Chen Qing thought to himself that with all the spirit stones added together, it was barely enough to buy a Fog Gu.

He was still poor.

After buying it, his spirit stones would be almost depleted.

But Red Lotus still had a lot of spirit stones; this lady could not hide her money.

There should be another portion coming in next time. He should be able to handle this expense.

Chen Qing was not prepared to go down the mountain to buy Fog Gu during this period of time. The storm had just passed; he wanted to wait and see for a while longer.

'Let's wait a few more days.'

After being beaten up by Yu Qingshuang for two hours, Chen Qing applied the medicinal wine, and went on duty as usual.

When he was on duty these few days, he could always see Yu Qingshuang from time to time.

She was so cold and cool, as if someone owed her money.

Wasn't it just touching her waist by accident? Was there a need to go so far?!

Petty!

Rich but not generous.

In the evening, Chen Qing returned to his cave abode after being beaten up by Yu Qingshuang for another two hours.

As he opened his hand, the Sword Gu had already hardened.

After waiting for only 15 minutes, a wisp of sword qi broke through the Gu's shell, and a spirited Sword Gu crawled out of the shell.

[Mortal-grade Sword Gu]

Quality: Rank five

Lifespan: 12/52

Effect: Transform eight wisps of spiritual qi into a wisp of sword qi.

Growth Requirement: metal spirit soul

Growth Progress: 0/100

Advancement Requirement: One Sword Gu, three wisps of geng gold qi, at least one gallbladder of a 300-year-old green snake.

The amount of spiritual energy needed decreased. When it was safe, he would buy some metal spirit souls at the foot of the mountain.

It seemed that he could not use the Sword Gu to practice with his senior sister in the future. With this senior sister's sharp perception of Sword Gu, she might discover that his Sword Gu had already advanced.

Thud, thud, thud…

Someone knocked on the door.

Chen Qing opened the door, and Xie Dayou carried in some gifts. "It's all thanks to Hall Master Chen that I managed to keep this leg. Now that my injuries have healed, I specially came to thank you, Hall Master."

Chen Qing led Xie Dayou into the house for tea. After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Qing came up with a plan.

It was not safe to go down the mountain alone. It should be safer to bring Xie Dayou down the mountain.

After all, he was a disciple of the Hall of War Affairs, and his cultivation level was not bad.

"Senior Brother Xie, I'm the only one living here. I don't have any servants to cook for me."

Xie Dayou stood up, and said, "You don't have to do this, Hall Master!"

Chen Qing said, "How can that do? In Carefree Mountain, I, Chen Qing, am a big and small character. If word gets out, people will think that I don't know how to treat guests.

"Let's go down the mountain to eat and wine!"

Xie Dayou refused several times. Seeing that Chen Qing insisted on going, he agreed.

Chen Qing packed a large bag of spirit stones, and carried it on his back. Then, he went down the mountain to the market with Xie Dayou.

After ordering a banquet at the Bright Moon Building, Chen Qing said, "Senior Brother Xie, wait for me here for a while. I'll go get some spirit ginseng wine!"

Xie Dayou didn't think too much about it, since he had spirit ginseng wine to drink.

Chen Qing went out and waved for the two young girls to go in and entertain Xie Dayou. Then, he walked around as quickly as possible, found a dark alley, and used his well-practiced changing technique.

Putting on a black robe, Chen Qing had just walked into the Myriad Treasures Pavilion when the clerk led him to the tea room.

"Sir, the goods are here."

Chen Qing remained vigilant, and did not drink his tea. "Let me take a look."

The clerk turned around, and went to the inner warehouse to get the goods. Chen Qing looked around, and found that his surroundings were quite antique.

He did not know where this Myriad Treasures Pavilion came from, but it was actually able to live peacefully in this chaotic land. It seemed that the backer behind it was not small.

When the clerk returned, he was holding two jade jars.

"Sir, please take a look. These are the two Fog Gu that I transferred over."

Chen Qing took a glance and knew the details. A rank four Fog Gu and a rank two Fog Gu.

He pretended to pick up the rank four one and examined it carefully. "How much is this one?"

The clerk smiled, and said, "This one is of excellent quality. It costs 18,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Chen Qing thought to himself, 'This is almost twice the price of a normal Gu insect, Fog Gu is really expensive!'

"What about the other one?"

The clerk said, "The other one doesn't look so good. It only costs 15,000 low-grade spirit stones."

This price was acceptable. After all, he could raise Fog Gu from rank two to rank four; he would need at most 400-500 spirit stones.

"Get me the younger one, then."

Looking at the growth requirement of the rank two Fog Gu, Chen Qing said, "Also, I need 10 Illusionary Flowers and three liangs of metal spirit soul."

The clerk wrapped it all up and sent it over. "15,400 spirit stones."

After paying the bill, Chen Qing carried his things, and went to a latrine near the winery. He changed his clothes, and waited until there was no one around before entering the winery.

After buying the spirit ginseng, he filled his wine gourd and brewed a pot of spirit ginseng wine.

Chen Qing returned to the Bright Moon Building again, and drank for two hours before returning with Xie Dayou.
