All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 109 The One-Month Term (First Update, Please Subscribe)

"Poisonous Tai Sui?!"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

The poisonous Tai Sui I obtained before was only a small portion, and its toxicity was greatly reduced.

But when he was in trouble, he was provided with a steady stream of money.

However, as Zhou Qing's strength increased and the Gu worms continued to evolve, the effects of the Poisonous Tai Sui became less pronounced.

Unexpectedly, Erqing caught the Poisonous Tai Sui as soon as he returned from this trip.

A complete Poisonous Tai Sui can be very useful for raising Gu!

Moreover, the new cultivation technique, the Hundred Poisons Mixed Body, obtained from Lin Tianzheng, also requires highly poisonous substances to aid in its cultivation.

Then, find a way to control the divine weapon, the Wooden King Cauldron, and the highly poisonous substances will be inexhaustible.

"Erqing, well done!" Zhou Qing couldn't hide his excitement.

He went into the alley, changed into a coarse linen outfit, put on a mask, and then wandered through the streets and alleys, avoiding the crowds, and left the town.

Every morning, mountain people go up the mountain to hunt and gather herbs, so his attire isn't particularly unusual.

"Aunt Wang, you're here early!"

"There's no other way, the host family has too many people, and we can't finish washing all the clothes."

As Zhou Qing passed by the pebbly path by the stream, some women who made a living by washing clothes had already arrived at the stream, raising their washing mallets and beating the clothes.

The fine silks and satins worn by wealthy and powerful families could not withstand such harsh treatment, so they mostly made a new set of clothes regularly.

However, not everyone in the family wears such fine clothes. Clothes made of lower-quality cloth or linen can withstand this kind of washing.

Zhou Qing glanced at it, then looked away and headed straight for the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

After passing Caisang Village and entering the forest, seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Qing suddenly increased his speed by several levels.

His figure moved like a ghost, speeding towards the northeast direction halfway up the mountain.

The rugged mountain road became as smooth as flat ground.

Last night, Erqing and the Golden Silkworm Gu Insects discovered the distribution of the Witch God Cult members on the mountainside. In addition, the fog was thick in the early morning and the miasma was spreading, so many Witch God Cult members hid.

Even without the effect of the [Spirit of Black Wind Mountain], Zhou Qing knew the road leading to the Wine Immortal Temple by heart.

After passing through the thick fog and arriving at the Wine Immortal Temple, he went straight to the steep mountain path behind it.

When he came to a steep cliff, he stopped and stood on the edge of the cliff looking down.

Erqing has revealed her true form: a pink butterfly the size of a washbasin, fluttering its wings, with a black piece of flesh the size of a human head wrapped in a thread from its mouth.

In the same place, the Tai Sui meat escaped last time, but this time it was finally caught.

Seemingly worried that it might not be safe, after Erqing spun silk, two golden silkworms also went up and added two more.

The evolved Erqing and Jincan Gu worms possess silk threads so resilient that even the Corpse Worm Gu King cannot easily break free.

At this moment, the Poisonous Tai Sui was already trapped like a turtle in a jar. Despite its struggles, it was still caught by Er Qing and the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Looking at the Poisonous Tai Sui in front of him, Zhou Qing put on his boxing gloves and reached out to catch it.

呲呲
The moment the gloves, woven from mutated golden silkworm silk, touched the poisonous Tai Sui, black smoke billowed out, and a hole was corroded by the deadly poison.

Zhou Qing mobilized his qi and blood, and his palm instantly turned as white as jade, imbued with two kinds of true qi.

呲呲
Even so, his true energy was quickly worn down by the potent poison contained in the Poisonous Grand Duke, and smoke began to rise from Zhou Qing's palm.

With a flick of his wrist, Erqing and the Golden Silkworm Gu worms lifted the Poisonous Tai Sui up.

"So corrosive!"

Zhou Qing looked at his palm, where faint black smoke was rising. A small black area had been corroded on his skin, accompanied by an intense burning sensation.

However, as the poisonous Tai Sui was lifted up, its toxicity rapidly weakened, and its simple corrosiveness could no longer cause substantial harm to Zhou Qing, who had broken through the flesh barrier.

With his powerful circulation of Qi and blood, the poison of the Tai Sui was forced out of his body.

"The poison of the Tai Sui seems to be highly volatile." Zhou Qing pondered, looking at his palm, which had regained its fair complexion but had a small patch of skin corroded away.

The moment he came into contact with the poisonous Tai Sui, its intense toxicity seemed to penetrate his flesh.

However, once the poisonous Tai Sui is removed, its toxicity becomes quite ordinary.

At least for Zhou Qing, who possesses an immune system to all poisons, if his blood circulation were a little slower, he would heal himself from such a small amount of toxicity.

"The part of the poisonous Tai Sui that was cut off before didn't seem to be this potent."

Therefore, the toxicity of a whole *Smilax china* is incomparable to that of a cut-off part.

"This is a pleasant surprise."

Zhou Qing immediately ordered Erqing and the Golden Silkworm Gu to spit out more silk threads to completely wrap the Poisonous Tai Sui.

Before long, the Poisonous Tai Sui enjoyed the same treatment that the Corpse Worm Gu King had received.

"Huh?!" Zhou Qing put the poisonous Tai Sui into the leather bag Gu. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard footsteps coming from the mist ahead.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped off the cliff.

It landed on a large rock five meters below the cliff face, clinging to the cliff wall and remaining motionless.

Erqing and the Golden Silkworm Gu worm also flew deeper into the cliff to hide.

"A month's supply from the main headquarters."

"Your subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths."

The person on the cliff top spoke very softly, while the cold wind howled and whistled past Zhou Qing's ears.

He could only vaguely hear some useful information.

After the person who spoke left, Zhou Qing first sent Er Qing and the Golden Silkworm Gu worm up to investigate the situation.

After confirming that no one was nearby, he flew back to the top of the cliff.

"Will anything be delivered in a month?" Zhou Qing frowned.

What came from the main altar of the Witch God Cult is probably no small matter.

It's unclear whether it's a person or some kind of treasure. "We can wait and see."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

[Technique: White Cloud Palm Technique]

Progress: Complete (800/800)

The White Cloud Palm Technique is just one step away from mastery. Once you learn the subsequent content, it won't be difficult to reach a state of divine skill within a month.

Now that we have obtained the complete Poisonous Tai Sui, we are even more certain of success.

Zhou Qing went down the mountain and returned to Heishan Town, where he changed back into his original clothes in the alley.

"The leather bag gu is about to burst; this little space is simply not enough."

Zhou Qing stuffed the clothes he had changed out of into the leather bag, which was bulging and could no longer hold anything else.

After changing his clothes, Zhou Qing headed straight for Shiqiao Lane.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Baiyun Martial Arts School, Zhou Qing's expression changed upon seeing the accumulated dust at the entrance.

Even when his apprentices were poisoned and not many people came to practice martial arts, Xu Lin would still get up early every day to clean.

"Could something have happened to Xu Lin?"

Zhou Qing's heart sank, and he quickly stepped forward to knock on the door.

Bang bang bang!
He pounded on the door, but there was no response.

It seems there's no one in the front yard.

Zhou Qing walked around and arrived at the gate behind the martial arts school.

Bang bang bang!
"Is anyone there? This is Zhou Qing!"

Zhou Qing knocked on the door more than a dozen times before it finally opened.

Xu Lin's face was partially visible through the crack in the door; it was pale and bloodless, with sunken eye sockets.

"Aqing?!"

Xu Lin's lifeless eyes brightened slightly, and he fully opened the back door.

Xu Lin had lost a lot of weight compared to before, and looked like he had suffered a great loss of energy and blood.

"Xu Lin, what happened to you? Have you been poisoned again?" Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly.

"No, I was too eager for quick success in my training and went astray," Xu Lin shook his head slightly.

"How is it now?" Zhou Qing asked hurriedly.

"My qi and blood are severely depleted; I can only rest in bed now," Xu Lin sighed.

Zhou Qing nodded.

Since it's just a matter of qi and blood being damaged, a few doses of qi and blood-tonifying medicine will do the trick. Luckily, there are still a few packets left in the skin bag Gu.

"Where are the others from the martial arts school?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Since the last poisoning incident, the martial arts school has been disgraced."

The third senior brother sent the remaining apprentices home and dismissed all the maids and servants.

Now, only my third senior brother, fifth senior brother, and I remain in the martial arts school.

Xu Lin looked dejected.

Previously, with Wei Sheng, the number one expert in Black Mountain Town, presiding over the Baiyun Martial Arts School, who would dare to disrespect them?

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse after Wei Hongyu and Wei Sheng left.

None of the martial arts schools in Baiyun can hold their own now.

"It will be fine once Master and Senior Sister return," Zhou Qing sighed.

Xu Lin nodded, then changed the subject.

"Ah Qing, what brings you back this time?"

Zhou Qing said solemnly, "I have mastered the White Cloud Palm Technique to perfection and wish to learn the subsequent content."

"You've mastered it so quickly?!" Xu Lin exclaimed in surprise.

"Third and Fifth Senior Brothers should know. I'll take you to find Third Senior Brother."

Surprised, Xu Lin didn't say much; whether Zhou Qing returned or not wouldn't really affect the overall situation.

"How is Third Senior Brother's injury? Has it improved?" Zhou Qing asked with concern.

"It's not good. These days, Third Senior Brother has rarely gotten out of bed." Xu Lin shook his head, his face filled with sorrow.

He had lived at the martial arts school for several years, and his eldest senior sister and third senior brother treated him the best. Now that his third senior brother was terminally ill, how could he not be sad?

"Then how can we look for our third senior brother?" Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly.

Many martial arts are taught by masters to their disciples, who then teach their disciples.

The subsequent content of the White Cloud Palm Technique was most likely not included in the manual.

Letting the third senior brother, Ma Wenchun, teach him would be tantamount to killing him.

"Fifth Senior Brother... This is what Third Senior Brother said himself. If you have something to do when you return to the martial arts school, go find him." Xu Lin hesitated before continuing.

Clearly, He Zhongdong had some reservations about his departure.

"Then let's go," Zhou Qing said thoughtfully.

Since it was my third senior brother who said it, I should at least go and see him.

He is no longer the same as before; perhaps he has a way to alleviate his third senior brother's injuries.

Xu Lin led Zhou Qing into the back courtyard room, and when they arrived at the courtyard where Ma Wenchun's room was located, he gently knocked on the door.

"Third Senior Brother, are you awake? Ah Qing is back."

A moment later, Ma Wenchun's weak voice echoed in the room:
"Oh, it's Xiaolinzi. Come in, cough cough."
