All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 101 The Five Desires Gu and the Wooden King Cauldron Divine Weapon (Bonus Chapter 1 for Alliance Leader)

After an unknown amount of time, the inner room became completely quiet.

"I'll go out and take a look first." Zhou Qing took off his outer robe, covered Yao Xuewei's half-naked body, and got up to leave the inner room.

He walked through the corridor, back into the hall, and headed out of the cave.

"Ugh"

As they approached the cave exit, a biting, icy wind rushed in, causing Zhou Qing to shiver.

Everything was going smoothly until Lin Tianzheng revealed that he had such a trump card.

Fortunately, he was largely unaffected by the lust-inducing poison; otherwise, if he had actually taken Yao Xuewei's body, it would have been a huge problem.

Although Yao Xuewei was already at the peak of the Bone Refining Realm in her early twenties and was about to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm Grand Martial Master, she was also very beautiful.

But before this incident, they weren't even friends. After this, their relationship became complicated.

"Never mind, it hasn't come to the final step yet. We're all just people of the martial world."

Zhou Qing touched her lips with her index finger; they were swollen from biting them.

"This time, we really made a killing."

Zhou Qing looked at the corpse worm Gu King being suppressed on the shallows across the river and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He leaped down to the narrowest point of the river, grabbed a dead log, and hurled it fiercely toward the opposite bank. At the same time, he jumped across the ten-meter-wide river using the log as a step.

Upon reaching the other side, the zombies scattered across the land had rapidly decayed after losing the control of the corpse worms.

Having eaten its fill, Chi Yan was now resting, curled up on a large rock at the edge of the shallows.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing appear, it raised its upper body and let out an affectionate hiss.

Clearly, it enjoyed the meal.

As for the Golden Silkworm Gu and Erqing, they followed Zhou Qing's orders and guarded the Corpse Gu King.

Although the Corpse Worm King was suppressed by the Exorcising Talisman and tightly bound by the silk threads, it still made slight movements of resistance. But now it is completely quiet and motionless.

It seems to be because its owner, Lin Tianzheng, died.

"This Corpse Worm King is really strong!"

Looking at the Corpse Worm Gu King wrapped up like a dumpling, Zhou Qing felt a little envious.

The Corpse Worm King was interrupted at the crucial moment of absorbing the power of the moonlight, and its strength was greatly reduced.

Under these circumstances, it was able to hold its own against the combined attacks of Zhou Qing, Er Qing, and the Golden Silkworm Gu, and even at one point it rendered them powerless to fight back.

It was only later that it gradually became unsustainable.

If the Corpse Worm King were at its peak, its combat power would be no less than that of a Bone Refining Realm martial artist.

If Zhou Qing could subdue it, he would truly have the power to protect himself.

Erqing's Peach Blossom Poison is not entirely ineffective against things like Corpse Worm Gu King and zombies; it's just that it's completely useless.

Lin Tianzheng was also largely unaffected by the peach blossom miasma.

However, this is probably related to his physical changes; he looks almost indistinguishable from a zombie now.

Moreover, Zhou Qing noticed that the peach blossom miasma released by Er Qing was basically absorbed by the bronze cauldron in Lin Tianzheng's hand.

"Fortunately, I didn't overestimate myself and came alone."

Standing in the cold wind, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel fortunate for his caution.

If he had come alone, he would have been doomed if he had encountered Lin Tianzheng.

"Fortune truly favors the bold," Zhou Qing exclaimed.

He picked up the Corpse Worm King, which was entangled in silk threads, returned to the cave, entered the hall, turned right, passed through the corridor, and returned to the inner room.

Yao Xuewei had already dressed herself again, but her white robe was covered in dust and sweat, the buttons were torn, and her fitted white trousers were ripped, revealing most of her long, shapely legs, which were dazzlingly white.

Zhou Qing glanced at it briefly before lowering his head and bowing respectfully.

"grown ups."

"Hmm." Yao Xuewei nodded expressionlessly.

There were more than a dozen sword wounds on Lin Tianzheng's corpse, and the silver-white longsword that had been placed to the side was now stuck in Lin Tianzheng's back.

"This Gu worm," Zhou Qing asked cautiously.

"It's alright for now." Yao Xuewei's expression was somewhat unnatural. She didn't look at Zhou Qing, but instead focused her gaze on Lin Tianzheng's corpse.

"I just didn't expect that this person could actually refine such an evil Gu worm as the Five Desires Gu."

"The Five Desires Gu?" Zhou Qing was taken aback.

He did know about the five desires: wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep.

However, he was ignorant that desire could be refined into a poison.

Yao Xuewei said in a deep voice: "The five desires of wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep are desires that all things have."

To refine the Five Desires Gu, one needs extremely strong Gu-refining skills.

After the process is complete, one must indulge one's desires and use one's physical body as a furnace to refine the Gu.

Finally, once the Gu worm is successfully refined, it still requires the heart's blood as a catalyst.

Only in this way can the true power of the Five Desires Gu be unleashed.

Even a grandmaster martial artist at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top would be affected by the combined refinement of the Five Desires.

However, this type of Gu worm is a one-time consumable Gu worm, and it is quite difficult to refine.

Few people refine it; usually, only one type is refined.

Zhou Qing only realized at this moment that there were disposable Gu worms.

So it seems the price of refining this Five Desires Gu is truly high.

However, the lustful Gu alone was enough to make Yao Xuewei, who was at the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, lose her composure and become confused by lust. The Five Desires Gu is indeed powerful.

"The lustful Gu just now could directly affect the physical body, amplifying a person's lust tenfold or a hundredfold."

Even the most resilient person can hardly resist the urge for extreme carnal desire.

Only those who cultivate powerful mind-clearing techniques, or possess unique Gu worms and divine weapons, can mitigate its effects. At this point, Yao Xuewei frowned, looking at Zhou Qing with curiosity.

"It might be related to the Gu worms I possess." Zhou Qing waved his hand, and Erqing and the Golden Silkworm Gu worms flew out.

Having been completely honest with Yao Xuewei, there was no need to hide these Gu worms anymore.

She came from a prominent family in the Central Plains and was worldly-wise; she wouldn't covet his Gu worms.

"I think so too." Yao Xuewei nodded, her cheeks flushing slightly as if she had thought of something, her voice barely audible.

"Thank you for earlier."

She was relieved that Zhou Qing had not been affected by the Gu worms.

The Taiyi Gengjin Sword Technique she cultivates is extremely yang and strong, requiring an extremely yin body to cultivate.

Once she loses her primordial yin, the difficulty of her breakthrough will increase more than tenfold.

If she were to switch to another cultivation method, all her years of hard work would have been in vain.

Even if they manage to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm by chance, they will most likely only remain at the first realm and become a tool for family marriage alliances.

"It is I who should thank you, sir," Zhou Qing said hastily.

Even with his severe injuries, Lin Tianzheng possessed such terrifying combat power. If it weren't for Yao Xuewei, a master at the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, he would have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if he breaks through to the Bone Refining Realm, he might not be a match for Lin Tianzheng.

Because Lin Tianzheng's injuries will eventually heal over time, making him even more difficult to deal with.

Although the jade tablet is powerful, it only raises his lower and upper limits. It cannot magically allow him to refine powerful Gu worms, nor can it allow him to advance his cultivation level in place.

Everything requires a down-to-earth approach, taking one step at a time.

"Mm." Yao Xuewei nodded.

Silence fell over the room.

Both of them felt fortunate.

Seeing that Yao Xuewei remained silent, Zhou Qing took the initiative to search for spoils of war and asked the Golden Silkworm Gu and Erqing for help.

The inner room was small, containing only two futons and a broken wooden bed; it looked like just Lin Tianzheng's rest room.

I searched everywhere, but found nothing.

Then, Zhou Qing turned Lin Tianzheng's body over and began to search his body.

Apart from the small bronze cauldron that had fallen to the side, Lin Tianzheng didn't have a single hair on his body.

So Zhou Qing reached out and grabbed the small bronze cauldron.

This thing looks small, but it's incredibly heavy; Zhou Qing almost couldn't hold it up.

The thing was the size of a palm, but weighed over a hundred pounds.

“If I’m not mistaken, this small cauldron should be a divine weapon.” At this moment, Yao Xuewei, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"A divine weapon?!" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed. This is a treasure!

However, after hesitating for a moment, he held the small cauldron in both hands and presented it to Yao Xuewei.

This battle was basically won by her. Since it's such a valuable divine weapon, it has nothing to do with him.

He was already satisfied with obtaining the Corpse Worm Gu King, a precious Gu worm comparable to a Bone Refining Realm martial artist.

"The cultivation method I practice is not suitable for using divine weapons." Yao Xuewei looked at the divine weapon in front of her and shook her head.

"Then..." Zhou Qing was taken aback.

“This substance contains potent poison; it seems suitable for refining Gu poison,” Yao Xuewei pondered.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. This divine weapon was actually suitable for refining Gu poison.

"Keep it, consider it a favor you owe me." Yao Xuewei nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Qing was both surprised and delighted.

The divine weapon is extremely valuable. Even if Yao Xuewei can't use it, it can be auctioned off or exchanged for other treasures, which would bring in a huge sum of money.

Unexpectedly, they directly gave him the divine weapon.

This is an immense favor.

"If you need anything, sir, I will provide it in the future."

Zhou Qing said solemnly.

Yao Xuewei waved her hand. "Let's talk about the future later."

“Divine weapons are not easily controlled. Try dripping your blood on it. If you are rejected, the divine weapon will not absorb it.” Yao Xuewei changed the subject.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing cut her finger.

Tick
Blood dripped onto the small cauldron.

However, the blood slid down the small cauldron and onto the ground.

Zhou Qing's expression was rather unpleasant.

"It seems the divine weapon is somewhat averse to you, or perhaps Lin Tianzheng has just died and the divine weapon cannot change hands for the time being," Yao Xuewei said.

At this moment, the jade tablet in Zhou Qing's soul emitted a dazzling blue light.

The next moment, lines of text appeared in Zhou Qing's sight.

You have obtained a new divine weapon – the Wooden King Cauldron.
