Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Zhou Qing, Wuchenzi, and Chen Feng entered the cave at Zishi. It was still dark, and the estimated time was not yet Yinshi.

When the sky in the distance turned white, Zhou Qing had already run hundreds of miles away in one breath.

However, he did not continue on his way, but took a break in a natural cave.

Although the battle with the Black Spider didn't last long, he was a little tired due to his high concentration. After that, he was on his way and felt that he needed to rest for a while.

After all, there are still hundreds of miles of mountain roads to get out of the Qilian Mountains.

Zhou Qing sent Er Qing and Chi Yan to guard outside the cave, took out straw mats and quilts from the storage space of the Wooden King Cauldron, and spread them on the dry and hard ground.

Immediately afterwards, he took out three small pills and swallowed them, then began to adjust his breath, digest the power of the medicine, and restore his true energy.

By the time the wine bug transformed the true energy into true essence and replenished it into the Yuan Aperture, it was already dusk from dawn outside the cave.

The day passed like this.

"Fortunately, there are rejuvenation pills. It seems that I should prepare more."

Zhou Qing opened his eyes and felt the refilled Yuan Qiao.

The battle in the cave had consumed nearly 90% of his true energy. All three Qi Restoration Pills had been used up. In addition, he had just refined the three Small Return Pills, and now he had recovered nearly half of his true energy.

Although he can try to avoid taking risks in the future, he will inevitably encounter fights, and he must always have some elixirs to restore his true energy and vitality.

This time Qi Pill is a rare pill in the county town and cannot be bought at all, but it should be sold here in the county town.

If you can buy the recipe for the Qi Restoration Pill and learn to refine it yourself, you can truly solve your need for the pill.

"The two magic weapons can be sold for at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, which should be more than enough to buy the elixirs and medicinal materials."

Zhou Qing decided to stay in Nanli County for a while after leaving the Qilian Mountains.

With the Qilian Mountains and Tianzhu Mountain at its back, the area is richer in resources.

Staying here temporarily should be able to obtain a lot of resources that are not available in the county.

"Let's continue our journey at night."

Zhou Qing stood up and stretched hard. Seeing the sun setting in the west, he did not rush on his way. Instead, he caught a pheasant and barbecued it on the spot. He drank the wine he brought with him and ate the roasted chicken. So uncomfortable.

When the sun went down, he returned to the cave, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

"Hoo~"

When Zhou Qing woke up again, it was still dark outside. When he asked Er Qing, he found out that he had slept all day and night.

"Very good, yesterday's stress will stay yesterday." Zhou Qing felt refreshed and had recovered from the previous tense state.

He packed up his bedding and headed west under the cover of night.

At dawn, the tiger eagle that was patrolling the sky suddenly came down and told him that there was a battle nearby.

"Fight?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.

"Er Qing, you and Chi Yan go take a look, be careful."

Zhou Qing immediately gave orders to Er Qing and Chi Yan.

"Puff!"

Erqing flapped his wings excitedly and flew towards the mountains and forests to the north.

Chiyan was crawling quickly among the trees.

[It’s someone I know. 】

After a while, Er Qing reminded Zhou Qing through telepathy.

"What? Are there any acquaintances here?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

[The Taoist priest and the little girl. 】

Erqing added.

"Taoist priest and little girl." Zhou Qing pondered in her heart.

Could it be Lu Yan and Han Qingqing?

Qingcheng Mountain seems to be located south of Nanli County, connected to Tianzhu Mountain. If the two of them appear here, there will be no problem.

Zhou Qing decided to go and have a look before talking.

He immediately used the Lightning God Walk and ran towards the mountain forest to the north.

Halfway through, I put on a monkey mask.

When they arrived at the lower reaches of a mountain stream, bright red blood flowed down from the upper reaches, and a cry of death was heard in the distance.

Because the sky was dark and there was only a little light from the torches, Zhou Qing could only see a group of people wearing strange clothes on the grassland upstream of the mountain stream, besieging another group of people.

At first glance, there were about forty people in strange clothes, only a dozen people were surrounded, and there were already more than twenty corpses on the ground.

Zhou Qing ran towards the upper reaches of the mountain stream, came to the crown of a big tree a hundred meters away, and looked intently.

Among the people who were besieged were a group of soldiers wearing black armor and holding swords.

To have such sophisticated armor and weapons, he must be the elite of the imperial court.

However, the barbarians dressed in strange clothes on the outside are all difficult to deal with.

A dozen barbarians with brassy skin all over their bodies could resist the soldiers' swords with their bare hands.

"Is the copper-skinned voodoo a barbarian?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.

The barbarians at the rear were all wearing large black robes, covering their whole bodies, and were remotely controlling flying ants, poisonous bees and other poisonous insects to deal with them.

From time to time, barbarians would spray poisonous powder in the middle.

Among the eleven soldiers was a young man wearing a blue robe. His resolute face was pale. He was Lu Yan.

He was holding a palm-sized golden mirror at the moment, and golden light was continuously released from the mirror into the bodies of the soldiers in front of him.

Blessed by the golden light, these warriors all had rosy complexions, as if they had been blessed by some kind of power.

As for the girl wearing moon-white Taoist robes not far from Lu Yan, she was his cousin Han Qingqing.

Han Qingqing waved a small green flag and set off waves of green whirlwind, blowing away the poisonous powder.

These green whirlwinds bypassed the soldiers in front of her, and while blowing away the poisonous powder, they also blew away towards the barbarians whose bodies were glowing with brass.

Although the cyan whirlwind could not cause substantial damage to the barbarians, it could make them unstable and deform their movements.

The swords in the hands of the soldiers were slashing at the barbarians continuously, and scars appeared on their skin. As time went by, it was only a matter of time before the defenses were broken.

With the help of the golden light released from Lu Yan's mirror, these soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought, and they seemed not to feel tired at all.

However, they were not tired, but Lu Yan behind them was, and he saw beads of sweat constantly forming on his forehead.

As for Han Qingqing, the movement of waving the small cyan flag gradually slowed down, and the cyan whirlwind released also continued to shrink.

Although barbarians were killed by soldiers from time to time, the balance of victory in this war of attrition would eventually tilt in favor of the barbarians.

"Fourth Miss! Master Yan! Let's go quickly!"

At this time, a soldier tried his best to cut off the arm of a barbarian, but was punched in the key part of the neck by the other party. He fell to the ground on the spot, vomiting blood, screamed with his last strength, and died on the spot. .

"It seems I can return this favor."

Standing at the crown of the tree, Zhou Qing nodded secretly. After Huying confirmed that there were no reinforcements around, he mentally ordered Er Qing to take action.

At this time, Erqing shrank in size and turned into a mini peach butterfly the size of a palm, circling and swimming in the darkness, exuding a faint pink miasma.

"ah?!"

"What's going on? It's so itchy!"

"Why is my true energy suddenly depleted so quickly?!"

"******"

After a while, the barbarians controlling the poisonous insects on the periphery heard screams. Some people scratched their bodies, some fell to the ground, and the poisonous insects they controlled also fell like raindrops.

Many of these people still spoke the language of the Jin Dynasty, and of course some spoke the language of the barbarians. Zhou Qing could not understand it, but judging from their behavior, he knew what they were talking about.

"It's a Gu insect!!"

Finally, someone discovered Erqing, who was spreading miasma in the air, but it was already too late.

Most of these barbarians are not very strong. Facing Erqing's peach blossom miasma, once they are inhaled, they have little ability to resist.

However, there are also several barbarians who seem to be Gu masters. After inhaling the Peach Blossom Miasma, not only did they not have any obvious reaction, but the Gu insects under their command were not greatly affected.

"Some tricks." Zhou Qing nodded secretly.

At this time, a Gu Master suddenly took out a small golden ball from the bag of Gu. At first glance, it looked like something similar to a smoke bomb or a thunder bomb.

boom!

The small golden ball suddenly opened a pair of colorful wings and flew rapidly into the sky. Finally, it exploded suddenly, forming a huge group of colorful fireworks in the sky.

Almost the entire sky is reflected in color, and it is estimated that it can be seen within a hundred miles.

"He's calling someone?!" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.

Originally planning to ask Er Qing to help, he didn't need to take action and just hid his merit and fame. Now it seems that we have to take action and decide quickly.

"Not good!" Lu Yan in the crowd changed his expression when he saw the small golden ball exploding in the sky.

"Fourth Miss! Master Yan! Let's go quickly!"

When several soldiers saw this, they also asked Lu Yan and Han Qingqing to leave first.

Whoosh!

At this time, the Gu Master who had just released the golden ball suddenly attacked the soldiers. His speed suddenly increased several times in one breath. He looked like a ghost and ducked between the two soldiers. .

His whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and a slender white palm protruded from the sleeve. It swelled in an instant and turned into a white jade. With one palm, he knocked away the soldiers in front of Lu Yan, and then the speed did not slow down. Pat Lu Yan's face.

"Master Yan?!"

"cousin!"

The soldiers and Han Qingqing were both shocked.

Bang bang bang!

Lu Yan looked solemn and released three golden lights in succession from the golden mirror in his hand, but they were shattered one by one by the white jade-like palm.

At this critical moment, Lu Yan held a golden mirror and struck a blow with the opponent through the magic weapon.

"Poof!" Accompanied by a terrifying force, he vomited blood and flew backwards.

At this time, the Gu Master took advantage of the victory to pursue him, and before Lu Yan had even landed, he flew after him at a ghostly speed.

Lu Yan had just landed and before he could stand firmly, the white jade-like urging palm fell towards his face.

"Are you going to die?" Lu Yan's pupils suddenly dilated.

clang!

However, the next moment, a strong arm suddenly surrounded his waist and pulled him behind him, and a huge roar sounded in front of him.

Lu Yan staggered a few steps and found a tall young man in black clothes and a monkey mask standing not far in front of him.

The white jade palm was pressed against by a golden palm, and seemed to be in a stalemate.

However, the next moment, the Gu Master suddenly appeared behind the tall young man and slapped him hard on the back of the heart.

clang! !

"Little——" Lu Yan's face changed drastically. He had the most say in the power of this palm. However, before he could warn him, the palm hit the tall young man in the back of the heart, and the huge impact sound shook the audience. Lu Yan's head was buzzing.

After 'killing with one strike', the Gu Master in black robe seemed to be affected by a powerful counterattack force and retreated in the direction of Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn't have time to sigh for the person he had saved righteously, and the shadow of death once again hung over his head.

His figure retreated sharply, but his speed was far inferior to that of his opponent.

boom--!

Just when Lu Yan thought he was going to die, an invisible force condensed in front of him, setting off bursts of strong wind. Even more violent force and loud noise appeared at the same time than before.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The black-robed Gu Master flew backwards at several times the speed as he came, smashing three big trees twenty meters away like an arrow. The subsequent force dragged him on the grass for another ten meters, leaving a trail behind. With a heavy mark, it hit the rock and stopped.

"This" Lu Yan's lips moved and his eyes looked blankly at the back of the tall young man in front of him.

The clothes on his back exploded, leaving a big hole, revealing his strong latissimus dorsi muscles. His skin was golden, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold paint.

There is an invisible white handprint on the back of the heart, close to the middle of the shoulder.

"The strength was amazing, it almost hurt me."

At this time, the tall young man tilted his head, looked at the handprints on his back, and said something that shocked Lu Yan.

Almost?

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay. Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Lu Yan said quickly.

"That's good." Zhou Qing nodded and flew into the middle of the dozen or so barbarians using the copper skin Gu.

Under the terrifying power of Zhou Qingjing's body, these men with bronze skin and iron bones were no match for each other. One by one with one palm, they were beaten back to their original shape on the spot, and all of them were seriously injured.

"retreat!"

Seeing the sudden reinforcements coming from the other side, several black-robed Gu Masters saw this and immediately picked up the black-robed Gu Master who was knocked down by Zhou Qing and chose to retreat.

Zhou Qing let them go and did not choose to pursue them. He just eliminated the seriously injured melee Gu Masters one by one.

"Master Yan!" Several soldiers quickly stepped forward to help Lu Yan, who was unsteady on his feet.

"Cousin, how are you?" Han Qingqing took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Lu Yan. Lu Yan raised his head and drank the elixir inside.

"My benefactor." Lu Yan was about to say thanks, but he found that the tall young man squatted down and touched the body of the barbarian. His movements were extremely skillful.

After Zhou Qing finished touching the body, he lowered his voice and said, "Farewell!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"My lord, wait a minute!" Lu Yan saw him about to leave and immediately stopped him.

"This place is dangerous, you should leave as soon as possible." Zhou Qing said solemnly, ignoring Lu Yan. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly stopped and walked back quickly.

"Benefactor?" Lu Yan was stunned.

"A barbarian master is coming! He's very fast! Let's go!" Zhou Qing came to Lu Yan, picked up his collar, held him in his arms like a princess, and then galloped towards the west. go.

The soldiers and Han Qingqing were stunned for a moment, and then followed them.

Halfway through, Zhou Qing felt a loud rumbling sound coming from the woods behind him. Smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance, and large trees were broken on both sides.

Just seeing the movement, Zhou Qing's face changed color.

The person coming was either a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm or a second-level Gu master.

However, he would rather be a blood-changing realm martial artist than face a second-level Gu Master. No one knows what weird second-level Gu insects there will be.

"Your Excellency, please take the Fourth Miss and Master Yan to leave first!"

When the remaining soldiers saw this, they stopped and ran in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing just nodded silently.

For these people, if their master dies, it is far better for them to die together if they are still alive.

If they die and their master is still alive, then their families will naturally enjoy generous pensions.

This is the sorrow of ordinary people.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Before Zhou Qing, Lu Yan and Han Qingqing ran far, they heard huge roars coming from behind from time to time, bursts of fire rising into the sky, and faint sounds of thunder.

It should be the power caused by items such as fire bombs detonating at close range.

"Ho~!"

During the explosion, there was a roaring sound like a wild beast, which made people feel chilled in their hearts.
