All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 121 Good News (Second Update)
Zhou Qing put the Corpse Worm Gu King into the Wooden King Cauldron and headed to the Peach Blossom Forest located northwest of Black Wind Mountain.

Since the people of the Witch God Cult moved away, the peach blossom forest and valley have been left empty.

Countless peach blossom miasma can be inhaled by Erqing.

This place has now become Erqing's home.

Unless Zhou Qing summons them, Er Qing will basically not leave this place.

"Pfft!"

Sensing that Zhou Qing had arrived at the peach blossom forest, Erqing flew down from the huge peach tree at the entrance of the valley.

"Have you gotten bigger?"

Zhou Qing pointed to Erqing and made it stop. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Erqing seemed to have gained weight, and the color of the peach-pink flower pattern on its wings had also deepened considerably.

[Refining: Five Poison Peach Blossom Butterfly (Second Green)]

[Rank: Tier 1, High Grade (Cannot be evolved, can be combined for refinement)]

[Progress: Exceeded Limit (189/800)]

"The growth rate has increased so much!" Zhou Qing looked at the attributes on the jade tablet and found that in just one month, Erqing's growth rate had increased by more than 100 points.

I thought that Erqing wouldn't be able to eat a second Hundred Poison Peach, and that her growth would be very slow.

Unexpectedly, it remained in the peach grove and grew even faster than before.

In less than six months, the second-generation youth will reach their maximum potential.

"Unfortunately, we still don't have a clue how to combine them."

Zhou Qing felt a mix of joy and worry.

The good news is that the Second National Youth Games have made rapid progress and are playing a significant role at this stage.

You're worried that Erqing's racial limit is only Tier 1 High Grade.

Thinking about taking it a step further, it's not something that can be accomplished by eating alone.

Erqing, as his first Gu worm, holds special significance.

The two of them, one human and one insect, supported each other through the most difficult times.

Moreover, among the many Gu worms under Zhou Qing's command, Er Qing has the highest intelligence.

In terms of loyalty, it rivals that of the tiger eagle.

It would be a real shame if growth stopped here.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

Zhou Qing pondered to himself, knowing that as his own strength gradually increased, he would eventually find a way to solve the problem.

Once you are strong enough, you can go to the Qilian Mountains in the county town to find the Wuxi Barbarians, where you can find the Gu Master's legacy.

After playing with Erqing in the peach blossom forest for a while, Zhou Qing arrived at the entrance of the valley.

The environment here is not only suitable for cultivating corpses, but also for raising gu (poisonous insects).

It was already April, and the temperature in the mountains was still quite low at night, but for someone like Zhou Qing who possessed internal energy cultivation, this chill was nothing to worry about.

However, once you enter the valley area, you can clearly feel the temperature drop sharply.

Although there was no thermometer, it felt like going from late autumn to the dead of winter all at once.

This must be the evil energy that the Witch God Sect speaks of.

In fact, both the Corpse Worm Gu King and the Crimson Flame liked this place, but Zhou Qing did not let them roam freely.

The reason for not releasing the Corpse Worm Gu King is mainly to prevent it from getting out of control and escaping.

The reason Zhou Qing didn't release the Crimson Flame was because he wasn't sure if the people from the Witch God Cult would return.

If he were raising Gu worms in the valley, and halfway through, the people of the Witch God Cult returned and wiped out all the Gu worms he had painstakingly cultivated, then he would be doomed.

As for Erqing, it has the ability to fly, so it's a different story.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing turned and left.

The next day.

Zhou Qing got up early and practiced her martial arts in the courtyard.

Deng Deng Deng!
A series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, and He Zhongdong rushed over with an excited expression.

"Junior Brother Zhou! Good news!"

Upon entering the courtyard, He Zhongdong rushed over to Zhou Qing.

Since the passing of his third senior brother Ma Wenchun, Zhou Qing has remained at the martial arts school, and He Zhongdong's opinion of him has changed drastically, leading to a much better relationship between the two.

"Senior Brother He, what good news is it?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

"They've replied from the county seat! Take a look for yourself!"

He Zhongdong took out an already opened letter from his pocket.

Zhou Qing took the envelope and pulled out the letter.

In his letter, Wei Sheng stated that his injuries would not heal in a short time and that he would stay in the county town to recuperate.

As for Wei Hongyu, it is estimated that it will be another six months before she can return.

However, he had already written to Xiao Kang, asking him to look after Baiyun Martial Arts School for him.

Furthermore, after some time, Wei Sheng will send his second son, Wei Mingcheng, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, back to Black Mountain Town with the divine weapon. In this way, although the White Cloud Martial Arts School will not be able to restore its former prosperity, it will not be as decadent and nearly bankrupt as it is now.

The letter repeatedly mentioned Ma Wenchun's matter.

It's clear that Wei Sheng was extremely saddened and angry about Ma Wenchun's death.

In the end, he asked Zhou Qing and He Zhongdong to be patient for the time being.

Once he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely make the Witch God Cult pay for their blood debts.

"Finally, some good news!"

After reading the letter, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put it back in the envelope, and returned it to He Zhongdong.

"That way, the martial arts school can reopen!"

He Zhongdong also smiled.

When the Baiyun Martial Arts School got into trouble, his family in the county town asked him to go back, but he refused, as the He family had already cut off his allowance.

When the martial arts school was operating normally, they were paid to teach apprentices in place of their masters, and they could also obtain some rare resources from the school.

You should know that those rich kids spend more than a hundred taels a year just on tuition.

Without this stable income, He Zhongdong's life would be much harder.

Although he was a martial artist who cultivated his tendons, he had powerful figures in both the town and the county who wanted him to be their retainer and to receive a monthly stipend.

But how could this amount of silver be enough for the daily training needs of a martial artist who has refined their tendons?

“It’s definitely possible now.” Zhou Qing nodded.

A few days ago, He Zhongdong said he wanted to reopen the martial arts school and recall all the students, but Zhou Qing rejected the idea.

The people from the Witch God Cult have left, but Mu Yuan could return at any time.

For Zhou Qing, stability was the top priority.

However, He Zhongdong is much older than him and is eager to complete the Yi Jin Jing and break through to the Lian Gu Jing as soon as possible, which is understandable.

"Then let's do it a month from now," He Zhongdong said seriously.

"Two months, I guess," Zhou Qing said thoughtfully. Wei Shengxin had mentioned that Wei Mingcheng would probably be back within two months.

"At most a month and a half!" He Zhongdong's attitude was quite firm.

“Okay!” Zhou Qing immediately agreed. He said two months was mainly to let He Zhongdong negotiate the price.

Seeing Zhou Qing agree so readily, He Zhongdong's forehead twitched, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Zhou Qing remained silent.

"Then it's settled!" He Zhongdong gritted his teeth.

In the past, he would never have paid attention to Zhou Qing's opinion.

However, Zhou Qing had previously demonstrated an extraordinary level of comprehension, far exceeding that of ordinary people. In addition, Ma Wenchun had given him instructions before his death, so He Zhongdong now completely regarded Zhou Qing as an equal practitioner of tendon-strengthening martial arts.

"Thank you, Senior Brother He." Zhou Qing smiled and clasped his hands in thanks.

The time spent cultivating oneself is always so simple, unadorned, and tedious.

But for Zhou Qing, it was more about fulfillment and the sense of security that came from feeling her own continuous progress.

In less than ten days, all of the hundreds of golden silkworm worms hatched.

Newly hatched golden silkworm worms are only the size of a fingernail, and their carapaces are not fully developed; they are soft and their bodies are a pale white-gold color.

However, thanks to the Wood King Cauldron's ability to attract insects, the Golden Silkworm Gu worms grew rapidly under the continuous feeding of poisonous insects.

That night, Zhou Qing was attracting insects in the area near Yufeng Mountain when Erqing's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Someone has come to the valley; it's Mu Yuan.

"Mu Yuan?!"

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly put away the wooden king cauldron.

"Erqing, stay hidden."

Zhou Qing immediately gave the order to Er Qing, and at the same time contacted Hu Ying, instructing it to move closer to the valley.

The tiger eagle, which had been sleeping in the treetop canopy, spread its wings and flew down into the valley below.

When the thick miasma of peach blossoms encountered the tiger eagles above the valley, it automatically parted to allow them to pass through.

Soon, the tiger eagle appeared in the peach blossom forest.

Through the ability to share audiovisual content, Zhou Qing saw Mu Yuan's figure.

He sneaked into the valley and buried something there.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to get closer to take a look, several crimson blade lights, like full moons, shot into the sky.

"Wow!"

Startled, the tiger eagle quickly flapped its wings and barely dodged the attack.

"Damn it!" Mu Yuan said with a dark face, catching the Heavenly Centipede Blade that was falling again, and glaring hatefully at the eagle that was flying away quickly.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing, on the other side, fell into deep thought.

If we make a move now
Can we keep Mu Yuan?
