Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Bah!

Zhou Qing took the key, opened the jade box in front of Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng, then took out the Fire Cloud Zhi inside, put it in a wooden box, and put it into the leather bag Gu.

"Return to the original owner." Zhou Qing placed the exquisite jade box on the table and pushed it back to Wuchenzi.

Wuchenzi saw this and put away the jade box.

Zhou Qing said seriously: "Ding doesn't like chattering, so he goes straight to the point.

Since there are three people cooperating, if the treasures are taken out from the cave, should they be distributed according to the amount of effort.

I can't enter the cave and work my ass off, only to end up with a Blood Jade Mushroom, right? "

When Wu Chenzi heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Ding is really quick to talk, very refreshing!

If we only hunt for treasure on the first floor of the cave, the Blood Jade Mushroom may be the most precious treasure inside.

If you enter the second level, which is more dangerous, the endless number of Gu insects inside will be worth a lot of money.

Although we are not Gu masters, these Gu insects can be kept for our own use or auctioned.

There are often Gu Masters in the county, and for some rare Gu Insects, they may spend all their money to get them.

Many precious medicines and spiritual herbs that are rarely seen in the outside world may not be uncommon to these Gu Masters.

We can exchange these Gu insects for a lot of good things! "

"What the Taoist Master means is that the Gu masters of the Wuxi barbarians will also go to the county to trade?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.

"Not bad." Wuchenzi smiled while twirling his beard.

"Isn't the capital at war with the Wuxi barbarians all the year round? How could it be?" Zhou Qing came to his senses mid-sentence.

Wuchenzi nodded: "It's exactly what Brother Ding thought. What does the Shuntian Mansion Army's war with the Wuxi barbarians have to do with Nanli County? This is the voice of many warriors.

Some of the rare elixirs needed by those high-level warriors are located deep in the Qilian Mountains.

Rather than venturing deep into the Qilian Mountains, it would be better to trade with the Gu Masters of the Wuxi Barbarians and barter for things. "

"People die for money, and birds die for food. That's true." Zhou Qing also felt that it was normal, as if he was now in southern Xinjiang and had a household registration in Jin Dynasty, but if Jin Dynasty was in trouble, he would be drafted into the army. .

Zhou Qing can only say one thing, it's none of my business.

When he was about to die of hunger, the court did not provide any relief. Instead, he had to pay the autumn taxes on time, otherwise he would have to leave his hometown and become a homeless man or a beggar.

In such a world similar to the ancient feudal era, with extraordinary power, ordinary people's sense of belonging to their clans and sects is much higher than that of the country.

Wuchenzi explained: "Among the Wuxi barbarians, the Sheng barbarians are the strongest, but the ones with the closest relationship with all the local forces are the Shadow barbarians.

There is a special elixir called Marrow Cleansing Grass among the Shadow Barbarians. Common Marrow Cleansing Grass can cleanse the warrior's energy and blood, increasing the warrior's 10% chance of breaking through the blood exchange realm.

If the Marrow Cleansing Grass is refined into Marrow Cleansing Gu through the hands of the Shadow Barbarian Gu Master, this success rate can be increased to 30%.

This is an absolutely irresistible temptation for any big family in the county.

To be honest, our main purpose of entering the Gu Master's Cave to hunt for treasure this time is actually to collect Gu Insects and exchange Marrow Cleansing Gu with the Gu Masters of the Shadow Barbarians. "

"30% chance!! Marrow Cleansing Gu." Zhou Qing was surprised. With an additional 30% chance of breakthrough, plus his own success rate, the chance of success in breaking through the blood exchange realm will be more than 50%.

Although it is difficult to break through the bone refining realm, it is nothing compared to the bottleneck of the blood exchange realm.

For some big families, it can still be cultivated by consuming a lot of resources.

Coupled with this Marrow Cleansing Gu, the big families in the city can ensure that every generation has a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm.

In this way, not to mention that it can continue to prosper from generation to generation, but at least it will not suddenly decline.

"Brother Ding seems to be young and has great potential in the future, but Pindao is approaching his end. If he hadn't used the Marrow Cleansing Gu to attack the blood exchange realm, he might not have a few more years to live." Wuchenzi sighed.

"The end is coming? Taoist Priest looks like..." Zhou Qing was startled. Wuchenzi looked like he was only forty or fifty years old. Although a Bone Refining Realm martial artist cannot live as long as one hundred and twenty years like a Blood Exchange Realm martial artist, But with strong Qi and blood, he will definitely live longer than ordinary people.

Hearing this, Wuchenzi shook his head and said: "The skills practiced by Pindao are not good at fighting, but they are somewhat magical in terms of maintaining health and beauty. In fact, Pindao is sixty-seven this year.

Pindao was injured by Gu insects when he entered the cave in his early years, and his energy and blood were greatly damaged. If he could not break through the blood exchange realm, he would probably have a hard time surviving past his old age. "

"What?! The Taoist priest is already seventy-six years old?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

"Brother Ding, I'm afraid you can't tell. My nephew Chen is already over forty years old." Wuchenzi pointed at Chen Feng and smiled.

"This" Zhou Qing looked at Chen Feng's fair face and said that he was in his early twenties.

You really have a talent for looking good!

This kind of skill is enough to drive many female warriors crazy, especially those with outstanding appearance.

Being able to maintain an ageless appearance for most of one's life is probably as important as breaking through.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing said: "If we can really exchange for the Marrow Cleansing Gu, the two of us will naturally have priority. After all, the Taoist Master is taking the lead on this trip."

Wuchenzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "So, thank you so much to Brother Ding.

Pindao hereby assures you that if the harvest from this trip is enough for us to exchange for the Marrow Cleansing Gu, the extra treasures will be chosen by Brother Ding first.

If the harvest is insufficient, we will also compensate Brother Ding with money, elixirs, etc. "

"That's okay." Zhou Qing nodded, "However, if I get some secret techniques and classics for refining Gu from the cave, I will also make a copy."

Zhou Qing's first goal during this trip was the Blood Jade Mushroom, and the second was the secret techniques and classics about Gu Masters. After all, he knew too little about Gu Masters.

As for the Marrow Cleansing Gu that helps break through the blood exchange realm, he actually doesn't value it.

Because he is only seventeen years old this year, he has already broken through the bone barrier.

No matter how difficult the bone forging process is, three to five years is already a long time.

Before the age of twenty-five, he should have the foundation to break through the blood exchange realm.

After completing the first level of the Hundred Poison Hunyuan Body, as long as you practice the Poison Dragon Golden Body, you can increase the chance of breaking through the blood exchange realm by 20%, which is not much worse than the Marrow Cleansing Gu.

And for Zhou Qing at this moment, if he could refine the second-level Gu insect, it would be much more important than breaking through the martial arts realm.

"Of course you can." Wuchenzi agreed, and then asked with some confusion: "Is Brother Ding also interested in this Gu refining technique?"

"Ding majored in sword skills and also practiced poison skills. I want to get some inspiration from this Gu refining technique." Zhou Qing said half truthfully.

"That's it." Wuchenzi nodded.

"Pindao will now explain to Brother Ding the destination of our trip and how to activate the formation outside the cave."

Wuchenzi took out a worn-out parchment full of moth marks from his arms and spread it out on the table.

On the parchment is a map of mountains and rivers.

"This is it."

Wuchenzi pointed to the southeast corner of the map and explained the situation to Zhou Qing.

The next day, early morning.

Zhou Qing, Wu Chenzi, and Chen Feng left the town and entered the vast Qilian Mountains.

Under the guidance of the map, the three of them traveled quickly, over mountains and ridges, traveling two hundred miles a day, and finally arrived at the edge of a canyon the next day.

The cracked canyon is like a giant's open eyes, with cold and steep stone walls on both sides hundreds of meters high.

Below the stone wall is a black river, running through the canyon like a ribbon.

As the dark wind blew below the canyon, the water surface became calm.

It was clearly autumn, but the cold wind blowing up from the canyon made people feel biting and chilly.

Zhou Qing stood at the edge of the canyon, and the true energy in his body circulated around the sky, which dispelled the chill.

"At midnight, the wind blowing up from the canyon will be even colder. If you don't have the cultivation of the Bone Refining Realm, your hands and feet will be numb from the cold." Wuchenzi explained on the side.

"But the wind blowing up below the canyon is not usually so cold. The last time it was just when the cave was about to open, it blew this bone-chilling wind."

"Just wait." Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing also sat down on the edge of the cliff, but his eyes were always on the black water below the canyon.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, it will be shallow, if the water is green, it will be deep, and if the water is black, it will be deep.

According to what Wuchenzi said, when the time comes, they have to sneak into the river below the canyon and activate the cave's mechanisms in three directions at the same time.

"Bah!"

At this time, a handsome bald eagle flew past the clouds above the canyon.

The dangers in the Qilian Mountains are relatively high. Zhou Qing had already seen it when the three of them were on their way yesterday.

All kinds of poisonous insects are everywhere.

Although Zhou Qing was not afraid, this was the territory of the Wuxi barbarians, so he asked Tiger Eagle to conduct reconnaissance in the air at all times.

The three of them waited on the edge of the cliff until midnight.

Whoosh!

At this time, gusts of dark wind blew below the canyon, and Zhou Qing suddenly shivered.

As Wuchenzi said, no bone refining realm martial artist would be able to withstand this chill, let alone go into the water.

"Time's up!" Wuchenzi, who had been feeling the changes in the wind below the canyon, suddenly stood up, his eyes full of excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out three fiery red crystal balls from his arms. As soon as the crystal balls appeared, they emitted powerful heat, dispelling the chill brought by the coldness of the canyon.

"Brother Ding, please!" Wuchenzi threw one of the fiery red crystal balls towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing took the crystal ball and nodded silently.

Although this crystal ball has amazing thermal power, when held in the hand, it only feels warm and not hot.

"Set off!"

Seeing both of them holding the crystal ball tightly, Wuchenzi took the lead and flew down towards the cliff.

Although the cliff is steep, covered with moss, and extremely slippery, it is still possible for a Bone Refining Realm warrior to gain a foothold.

The three of them fell down the cliff to the bottom of the canyon.

Zhou Qing looked at the cold river water in front of him, feeling wary, and the true energy in his body was ready to explode at any time.

Wu Chenzi was currently on the north side of the cliff, while Zhou Qing and Chen Feng were on the south side of the cliff. The three of them were holding each other's horns.

"Get in the water."

After Wuchenzi confirmed his position, he released his grip on the rock and fell into the river with a splash.

Seeing this situation, Chen Feng also entered the water together.

Zhou Qing followed closely behind.

After entering the water, Zhou Qing found that the visibility in the water was very low, but it was not as dark as when looking down from above the water.

However, the water temperature was much lower than he expected.

Buzz!

At this time, the red crystal ball in Zhou Qing's hand trembled slightly, forming a red light mask with a radius of one foot. Although the light mask could not disperse the river water, it could bring him warmth.

Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng were waiting for him ten meters away from him. After confirming that Zhou Qing was in place, Wu Chenzi made a gesture, and the three of them began to swim underwater.

The three of them swam hundreds of meters deep, and the light shield formed by the red crystal ball quickly dimmed. The strong water pressure forced Zhou Qing to use his true energy to resist.

Although the Blue Water Technique is not as powerful as the Green Wood Sutra, it gives him extremely strong water properties, and the Blue Water True Essence seems to be better at resisting water pressure than the Green Wood True Essence.

Zhou Qing quickly adapted to the pressure underwater and continued swimming into the pitch-black bottomless water.

This time, after swimming about ten meters, Zhou Qing saw three huge jade pillars as thick as two people hugging each other appearing below. The jade pillars were covered with golden symbols.

On the other side, Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng had already taken their positions in advance, standing on the top of the two jade pillars.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing landed on the last jade pillar and stood still.

After standing on the jade pillar, he discovered that there was a hemispherical groove in the middle of the jade pillar, which was about the same size as the red crystal ball in his hand.

Seeing Wuchenzi opposite him make a gesture and press the crystal ball into the groove, Zhou Qing also followed suit.

Buzz!

The crystal ball suddenly glowed red, but the next moment, the red light of the crystal ball quickly dimmed.

He injected the true energy into it as he had said in advance.

As the true energy was quickly sucked into the crystal ball, the red light became stronger and stronger, completely dispelling the darkness within hundreds of meters.

"This is."

The scene in front of him made Zhou Qing's eyes narrow. He saw that there were still jade pillars under the jade pillars, but these jade pillars had been broken.

He counted them carefully and found that there were nine broken jade pillars in total.

Collapsed jade pillars piled below.

Through his powerful eyesight, Zhou Qing vaguely saw a huge word "True" under the jade pillar.

To be on the safe side, Zhou Qing bit into the Qi-Reviving Pill wrapped in beeswax under the base of his tongue.

Although he did not use the true energy, if the true energy was consumed too much, the wine bug would not be able to condense the true energy out of thin air.

Feeling the continued recovery of his true energy, Zhou Qing felt relieved.

boom!

As the three people continued to inject true energy, a huge movement suddenly came from the water below, and a huge vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in the middle of the three jade pillars.

A strong suction force came from the middle of the vortex.

When Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng saw this, they both looked happy and jumped towards the center of the whirlpool without hesitation.

After seeing the two people being 'swallowed' by the whirlpool, the whirlpool quickly shrunk. Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed and he took out the Corpse Insect Gu King from the Wooden King Cauldron and hid it in his chest. Then he jumped down and entered the whirlpool.

"puff!"

With a sudden spin, Zhou Qing suddenly emerged from a deep pool and spat out a large mouthful of water.

Wu Chenzi and Chen Feng were already standing on the edge of the pond.

"Brother Ding is here too!" Wuchenzi said with a smile.
