Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Not far from Heishan Town, amid the ice and snow, the nearby plum forest was in full bloom with red plums, adding a bit of color to the silver-covered world.

At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a white fox fur and a white veil walked out of the plum forest. Under the winter sunshine, her skin was as white as snow, so delicate that it was almost transparent. Her pupils under the veil were like inlaid eyes on her cheeks. Two bright pearls, long eyelashes trembled slightly, Mingming's eyes were full of clarity, without any hint of foxiness, but they attracted the attention of everyone in the motorcade.

Although the red plum blossoms in the ice and snow are gorgeous, they are not as beautiful as her.

"What a beautiful woman! Could she be a fox fairy?!"

"The skin is as white as snow! Could it be the incarnation of the snow spirit!"

"Ruyan?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, and he asked the coachman to drive the carriage for him, and immediately flew into the snow beside the official road.

"I'm here to see off Sixth Senior Brother!" Everyone looked surprised. Seeing Zhou Qing rushing in the direction of the woman in white, they were sure that they were not dazzled.

"Keep on going!" Zhou Qing shouted loudly at the commotion in the convoy. Only then did the apprentices who drove the train come to their senses and continue on their way.

But everyone's eyes always stayed on the woman.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you are really blessed!" In a carriage in the middle, a broad hand opened the curtain, revealing Wei Mingcheng's pale and bloodless face. Looking at the appearance of the woman in white, even he couldn't bear it Live sigh.

Snapped!

The other hand hit the back of the broad palm, the curtain fell instantly, and an unhappy voice came from the carriage.

"You are still injured and cannot see the wind. Don't you know?"

"Sister, you also know that I am injured! Then you still hit me?"

Snapped!

The voice came louder.

"Speak less and save your strength!"

"."

Silence fell in the carriage.

When the motorcade was about to pass through Merlin, the curtain of the carriage was opened again, revealing a handsome side face, with the corner of his eye glancing into the distance.

When she saw Zhou Qing grabbing the wrist of the woman in white, and then the woman in white took off the fox fur and put it on Zhou Qing, Wei Hongyu lowered the curtain.

"I have met the Lord." Ru Yan bowed, elegance and beauty appeared on the same person. She looked like an elf in the snow, incomparably in tune with the heaven and earth.

"Ruyan, why are you here?" Zhou Qing signaled her to excuse herself, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had already told Ruyan about his departure, and he didn't know why she came to see him off.

"You broke through?!"

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that the divine power in Ruyan's body seemed to have undergone some change.

"Everything is thanks to the great blessing of the Lord. I am blessed both physically and mentally, and I have found an opportunity for a breakthrough. Today I come here to send you this good news and tell the Lord the good news. If not for the Lord's grace, I might have cultivated for another hundred years. You may not become a god," Ruyan said respectfully.

After saying that, he bowed down and gave Zhou Qing a big salute.

"It doesn't have to be like this. The two of us share weal and woe. You can't be where you are today without your own efforts." Zhou Qing grabbed Ruyan's wrist and supported her.

"Your Majesty." Ruyan was filled with gratitude, her eyes looking at Zhou Qing became softer and softer, and as her eyes moved, she revealed an astonishing charm.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing's strength has greatly increased now, so he was not tempted by the charm she inadvertently released and showed his ugly face.

"I have no retribution for this. This fox fur is woven from the fur that I shed after I became a god. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is invulnerable to water and fire. I give it to the Lord today to express my feelings."

Ruyan took off his fox fur and put it on Zhou Qing's body.

Zhou Qing wanted to refuse, but seeing Ruyan's sincerity, he accepted her intention.

"It's very comfortable." After putting on the fox fur, Zhou Qing felt as if the temperature of his body was locked. He no longer needed to use his blood and essence to resist the cold. The light fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose was also very pleasant.

"It's my honor to be liked by the Lord." Ruyan smiled and her cheeks were slightly red.

"I'll leave Black Wind Mountain to you. When the Jiuxian absorbs enough divine power to wake up, let him hand over the method of worshiping gods. I will come back then." Zhou Qing said seriously.

The Jiuxian statue seemed to have suffered a lot of damage since it helped him fight off Mu Renjie last time.

Even though Zhou Qing moved him to the mountain temple at the foot of Black Wind Mountain to share incense, he still did not wake up.

According to the agreement, after the Jiuxian statue has absorbed the incense for a month, he will be taught the eighth-level worship method.

But now we can only wait for the wine god statue to wake up.

Anyway, the time they agreed on was one year. If the Jiuxian statue still hasn’t responded after one year, don’t blame him.

Although the priesthood is very restrictive and is not Zhou Qing's main occupation, now that Ruyan is responsible for the spread of faith, he is like a hands-off shopkeeper, as long as he comes to collect divine power regularly.

Nowadays, more and more people believe in the mountain god of Black Wind Mountain, and their divine power is accumulating faster and faster.

As long as Zhou Qing continues to improve his strength and protect the spread of his faith, it will only be a matter of time before the mountain god faith spreads to Tianzhu Mountain and Qilian Mountains.

If you can get the favor of Tianzhu Mountain and the Qilian Mountains, it will be much easier to refine Gu and find treasures in the mountains in the future.

The priesthood may be a bit useless at the moment, but it will have a strong supporting role in his future development.

"I accept the order and wait for the Lord's return." Ruyan said respectfully with a bow.

"The trouble I have gotten into is not small now. The current scale of the faith in Heifeng Mountain is enough for the time being. There is no need to rush to expand. When I solve the trouble, I will take you to Tianzhu Mountain near Nanli County. and the Qilian Mountains, there is a wider world waiting for you!”

Zhou Qing said seriously.

"Yes!" Ruyan's face was filled with joy. Choosing to follow the Lord was the most correct decision she had made in her hundreds of years of practice.

"Go ahead."

"I retire."

Ruyan bowed and saw no one around. She used her earth escape technique and disappeared from Zhou Qing's sight.

Through the induction between divine powers, Zhou Qing discovered that Ruyan was rushing towards the Black Wind Mountain at an extremely exaggerated speed.

"So fast!"

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed. At such a speed, even if Mu Renjie used the wind and thunder boots with all his strength, he might not even be able to see Ruyan's back.

Unfortunately, if he had mastered the art of earth escape, he would probably be able to protect himself even if he encountered a strong man at the peak of the blood exchange realm.

Zhou Qing stood on the hillside, looking at Heishan Town not far away, then flew away and caught up with the convoy.

They spent the next ten days on the road.

Because it was snowy, travel was inconvenient. If the official road was not flat, it would be difficult for them to travel hundreds of miles in a day.

Of course, Zhou Qing did not waste these ten days. He spent most of the time practicing internal skills.

[Technique: Aoki Sutra]

[Progress: Level 4 (19850/30000)]

[Skill: Blue Water Kung Fu]

[Progress: Fourth level (20000/20000)]

Since Grandma was in the car, Zhou Qing could not use the Ice Demon Gu's black ice body to obtain a physique comparable to a super root bone. However, the wood spirit phase also allowed him to practice at a speed comparable to the superior root bones on his shoulders, so the Green Wood Sutra The progress of cultivation has greatly increased.

As for the less difficult Blue Water Technique, he has already reached the fourth level of perfection.

It's a pity that there is no fifth-level skill, otherwise he could use this skill to try to break through the blood exchange realm.

Of course, he has not yet completed the tempering of all his bones, so he will not break through so easily. At the very least, he has to wait until the fourth level of the Aoki Sutra is completed before breaking through.

It is estimated that it will be complete within this half year.

At that time, he will be able to break into the blood exchange realm and become a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm at the age of nineteen.

After arriving near Nanli County, the convoy split into two groups.

A large group of people directly followed Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng and entered Tianyun City.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, entered Nanli County with his grandmother and two maids.

The yard he rented in the outer city has not expired yet, so he can continue to live there for the time being.

When he entered the house, he found that it was very clean, there was no snow in the yard, and the furniture was spotless.

Apparently, someone had been cleaning the place while he was gone.

The only one who can do this is Lanlan, probably because Han Qingqing requested it.

"You guys help grandma to rest in the backyard room first." Zhou Qing ordered the two maids to take grandma to the backyard first. Although they came by carriage, it was quite tiring for the elderly to drive such a long way.

"Yes." The two maids waited on Grandma to rest.

Zhou Qing came to the front yard.

"Next, we have to face new challenges!"

Zhou Qing looked at the sky over the county town and took a deep breath.

After grandma went to bed, two maids came to the front yard. Zhou Qing told them not to go out for the time being. He left the house and went to Wanbao Pavilion in the inner city. He directly showed off his martial arts skills and entered the VIP area of ​​Wanbao Pavilion. .

"Your distinguished guest wants to buy green silk poison and four-flavored wine recipe? Could it be that your distinguished guest wants to cultivate wine bugs?"

The steward responsible for receiving Zhou Qing was an old man with white hair and beard. Upon hearing Zhou Qing's request, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Guanshi Liu actually knows about this?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

"In Nanli County, there are also some Gu masters who will disguise themselves and go into the city to buy some resources that are lacking in the mountains. After going back and forth, I will also know some inside information." The white-haired old man said thoughtfully.

Seeing Zhou Qing's brows frowning slightly, the white-haired old man quickly raised his hands and said, "I don't mean to inquire about your guest's privacy, I just want to remind you.

Even if you feed the green silk Gu with the most precious four-flavored wine, it is extremely difficult to cultivate wine bugs, and the resources that need to be invested are even more immeasurable.

Instead of doing this, it is better to pay some price directly and exchange a wine worm with the barbarian Gu Master. "

"Exchange the wine worm directly?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, "Can it be exchanged for a first-class high-grade wine worm?"

Compared with starting from the green silk Gu and cultivating it into a wine worm, it is easier to directly obtain a ready-made wine worm.

Although the combination of two wine bugs does not require that both of them are the first level, but the higher the level, the higher the success rate will naturally be. Zhou Qing does not like to discount these things.

"First-class top grade?!" Manager Liu's expression froze when he heard this.

"The distinguished guest was joking, no Gu master would be willing to exchange wine bugs of this quality.

Even if it is no longer used, it will be passed down from generation to generation. "

"Where's the first-level middle grade?" Zhou Qing asked again.

"Only a low-grade wine bug." Manager Liu shook his head. If he didn't know Zhou Qing's identity, he would probably think that Zhou Qing was entertaining him.

"Then I still want the green silk poison and the four-flavored wine recipe." Zhou Qing muttered. It is not difficult to cultivate a first-level low-grade wine bug. From the tone of Manager Liu, you know that buying it directly will definitely be ridiculously expensive.

Among the wine recipes he has, the red apricot wine should be considered a sweet wine, while the fire toad wine is considered a spicy wine.

Also missing are sour wines and bitters.

Of course, the more wine prescriptions, the better. This thing is cheaper than elixir prescriptions. After all, taking drugs can increase your cultivation level, but drinking medicinal wine to increase your cultivation level is much more difficult.

"The Green Silk Gu is already in stock in Bi Ge's warehouse. As for the four-flavor wine recipe, Bi Ge only has two recipes: bitter shell wine and bee flower wine. As for the recipes for sour wine and spicy wine, I'm afraid the distinguished guests will have to wait until the auction is held to try them. Luck may have been traded with the Gu Master of the Wuxi Barbarians," Manager Liu pondered.

"Then first buy ten green silk Gu, bitter shell wine and bee flower wine. I want them too." Zhou Qing nodded.

Manager Liu summoned the waiter to inform the warehouse, and smiled at Zhou Qing and said: "Ten green silk poisons are worth two thousand taels of silver. As for the two recipes of bitter shell wine and bee flower wine, they are worth three thousand two hundred taels of silver. A total of five One thousand two hundred taels. I don’t want two hundred taels of silver. I’ll accept five thousand taels from the distinguished guests.”

"Well, thank you very much, Manager Liu." Zhou Qing bowed his hands and sighed in his heart, money is really not wasted. I think if he had known how valuable the green silk Gu was, he might have sold it directly.

After a while, a warrior brought the green silk Gu and the wine recipe and delivered them to Zhou Qing.

After Zhou Qing inspected the goods, he left with satisfaction.

Manager Liu sent Zhou Qing out of the gate. When Zhou Qing disappeared from sight, the smile on his face gradually faded and he looked thoughtful.

Then, he summoned a warrior and whispered softly into his ear. The man bowed respectfully and immediately ran towards the outer city.

Zhou Qing returned home and immediately put ten green-threaded Gu into the wine jar containing Fire Toad wine, cultivating the wine bugs in the simplest and crudest way.

In just one night, six of the ten green silk Gu were drowned in the fire toad wine, and the remaining four were still alive.

Just when he was about to continue his efforts, his ears moved slightly and he heard the noise coming from the front yard.

"Tsk!"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, it would be troublesome if there were too many people.

He walked to the front yard and saw two maids hugging each other shivering. Lan Lan was standing in the middle of the yard covering her face with a look of grievance.

Two middle-aged men were standing in the corridor, one in purple official uniform and the other in black robe.

"Exchange Realm?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed. The two of them were actually great martial arts masters in the Exchange Realm. The man in the purple official uniform was a general-level warrior of the Demon Suppression Department. As for the other person, this outfit seems to represent the elder of the Five Poison Sect.

I didn't expect trouble to come so soon.

"You, a junior, are so majestic! Even a mere maid in Fuzhong dares to stop us from entering." The man in black robe smiled coldly.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, but before he could speak, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard, and an extremely majestic man in black armor appeared in the courtyard.

"Brother Wan's cultivation is not improving, but his temper is getting worse."

"Han Wending?!" The face of the man in black robe changed drastically.

The middle-aged man in purple official uniform next to him also changed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously lowered his hands on his chest.
