All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 132 The Conspiracy of the Mu Family

Zhou Qing left the backyard and returned home.

He took out the wooden box given to him by Wei Mingcheng from his bosom, opened the box, and saw a scarlet pill the size of a pigeon egg inside, emitting a strange smell similar to lime.

However, after just one sniff, Zhou Qing felt completely refreshed, and his blood and vital energy became active at the same time.

"It truly is a precious elixir! Its medicinal power is probably no less than that of the previous Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh.

The reprimand just now was probably Wei Mingcheng's own idea, given Chen Hong's example.

"If there is an opportunity, I will cause more trouble for the Witch God Cult, so that my master's painstaking efforts will not be wasted."

Zhou Qing's resolve to oppose the Witch God Cult only strengthened when he thought of the seriously injured Wei Sheng.

【Craft: Green Wood Sutra】

[Progress: Level 1 (1915/2000)]

【Technique: Silk Reeling Force】

[Progress: Beginner (826/1000)]

"Let's take this pill first, then we can head to Huanglong Mountain."

Zhou Qing pondered to himself. He was about to break through to the Green Wood Scripture and was also about to master the Silk Reinforcing Force. Although he might not encounter any Bone Refining Realm martial artists on this trip, increasing his strength would make him a little safer.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Qing tilted his head back and swallowed the scarlet pill, which was the size of a pigeon egg.

After the Jiaoshe Yijin Dan entered Zhou Qing's stomach, it was not digested but remained intact.

When he circulated his qi and blood to gather in his chest and abdomen, the Jiao She Yi Jin Dan slowly released its medicinal power and merged into Zhou Qing's qi and blood.

"What a powerful medicine!"

Zhou Qing immediately felt a surge of blood and qi, and the true qi in his dantian also became active.

Zhou Qing spent the entire day refining the medicinal power.

The next evening.

Aoki's progress has accelerated significantly, and he has successfully broken through to the second level.

【Craft: Green Wood Sutra】

[Progress: Level 18 (2/6000)]

[Effects: Nourishes and strengthens the body internally, transforms tendons and bones.]

Crack, crackle!

At the very moment Qingmu Jing broke through, a popping sound like popping beans came from Zhou Qing's body.

He stretched out his hand, looking at his muscles bulging with blood.

Beneath the thick, tough skin are veins that bulge out like earthworms.

With each flush of blood and vital energy, his meridians became increasingly resilient.

"So the Green Wood Sutra also has the effect of strengthening the body, but it wasn't obvious before."

Zhou Qing nodded secretly.

[Skill: Azure Water Skill]

[Progress: Level 3 (862/8000)]

As the Green Wood Scripture broke through to the second level, the progress of the Azure Water Technique also increased significantly, and the Azure Water True Qi in Zhou Qing's Dantian became increasingly condensed.

"Could this Flood Dragon Tendon-Changing Pill really contain the flesh and blood of a flood dragon?"

Zhou Qing marveled at the powerful medicinal effects of the Flood Dragon Tendon-Changing Pill. He spent two days refining the medicinal power, but he had only digested less than one-twentieth of the Flood Dragon Tendon-Changing Pill in his stomach.

It should be noted that his speed in absorbing the medicinal effects is already considered quite fast.

In other words, this pill is enough for an average martial artist in the Body Refining Realm to digest for more than a month.

"My physical strength has also improved considerably."

Zhou Qing felt his body filled with power.

"It seems we can wait until we've refined the medicinal properties before heading to Huanglong Mountain."

This feeling of constantly making progress is intoxicating.

In order to maximize the medicinal power, Zhou Qing decided to go to Huanglong Mountain later.

into the night.

Zhou Qing entered Black Wind Mountain to cultivate the Hundred Poisons Primordial Body.

[Skill: Body of All Poisons]

[Progress: First floor not yet mastered (311/1000)]

After he finished his medicinal bath in the wooden cauldron, the words that appeared in his vision made his gaze freeze.

This time, my progress in cultivation actually increased by more than 100 points.

It's twice the amount of normal training.

Undoubtedly, it is the effect of the Jiaoshe Yijin Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

In addition, he added the bodily fluids of the Jade Fire Toad to tonight's medicinal bath.

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Zhou Qing wiped the remaining medicinal liquid off his body, then lit a specially made incense stick and used the wooden cauldron to attract poisonous insects and cultivate the next batch of golden silkworm gu worms.

For the next month, Zhou Qing would make an appearance at the martial arts school during the day to occasionally guide the students' training, and spend the rest of his time at home refining the medicinal power.

At night, they would go up the mountain to cultivate the Hundred Poisons Primordial Body and raise Golden Silkworm Gu worms.

After a month of feeding, the number of golden silkworm worms increased to six hundred.

Five hundred of them were newly trained, while the other one hundred were survivors of the previous battle with Dan Chenzi.

That evening, Zhou Qing had just finished his cultivation when his vision suddenly blurred.

The next moment, his eyes were drawn to the scene at the foot of the mountain.

A one-armed youth dressed in black appeared at the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

It turned out that Tiger Eagle was patrolling the mountain and saw a martial artist coming up the mountain, so he shared his audio-visual experience with Zhou Qing.

"here we go again?!"

Zhou Qing looked at Mu Yuan, who had appeared at the foot of the mountain, and his expression darkened slightly.

This is the third time Mu Yuan has come to Black Wind Mountain in the past month.

"Should we make a move?"

A month later, his strength had improved by a level.

My divine power has also increased to 15280 points.

After absorbing the medicinal power of the Flood Dragon Tendon-Changing Pill, Zhou Qing felt that he was only one step away from breaking through to the Tendon Refining stage.

[Skill: Body of All Poisons]

[Progress: First floor not yet mastered (874/1000)]

"Not even close."

Looking at the progress of the Hundred Poisons Primordial Body, Zhou Qing hesitated.

To speed up his cultivation, he changed his medicinal bath from once every seven days to once every five days. He had already used up all the Hundred Poison Yin Peaches, leaving only one peach pit.

"Um?!"

Just as Zhou Qing was pondering whether to make a move against Mu Yuan, a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe and with a refined appearance arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"he is."

Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened.

The tiger eagle had just descended a little when the middle-aged man reacted, looking up at the sky. Whoosh!
He raised his hand and shot out a flying needle, the emerald green true energy enveloping the needle, making it like a sharp sword soaring into the sky.

"Wow!"

Through the ability to share audiovisual information, Zhou Qing heard a sharp sound of air being cut through the air, and the flying needle flew up to a height of a hundred meters in an instant.

The tiger eagle suddenly turned around in mid-air, barely dodging the attack of the flying needles.

"Come on!"

Zhou Qing immediately gave the order to Hu Ying, his face instantly turning grim.

"Grand Martial Master!"

Such power in a casual strike must be attributed to a Grand Martial Master.

We have to go!

Zhou Qing immediately put away the wooden king cauldron, cleaned up the scene, and went down the mountain from the north slope.

At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

Mu Renjie watched the tiger eagle rapidly ascend into the sky and reached out to catch a feather falling from the sky.

"Such a quick reaction, is it a Falcon?"

“Father! The white-headed eagle we just saw looks like the one I encountered last time,” Mu Yuan said from the side.

"It's possible that it was kept by a martial artist in the vicinity."

After a moment's thought, Mu Renjie returned his attention to Mu Yuan.

"This is the third time this month. What are you doing sneaking back again?"

"Father," Mu Yuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Dan Chenzi's disappearance must be related to you, right?"

Mu Renjie's face darkened slightly. "Still not telling the truth!"

Seeing Mu Renjie's anger, Mu Yuan quickly explained the whole story.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Dan Chenzi should be in trouble," Mu Renjie said thoughtfully.

"Don't cause me any more trouble, come back with me!"

Mu Yuan was unwilling to give up. "Father, Wei Mingcheng came to Black Mountain Town alone. If we can kill him, we can definitely..."

"Shut up!" Mu Renjie shouted angrily, "You think you can kill Wei Mingcheng?"

Mu Yuan was somewhat unconvinced: "Father, you underestimate me too much. Even if I'm missing an arm, dealing with Wei Mingcheng shouldn't be a problem. Besides, don't you still have me?"
Wei Mingcheng goes to the county town every two weeks. If we ambush him on the way, we can kill him in one fell swoop!

Tomorrow at dawn will be the time when Wei Mingcheng heads to the county town.

Upon hearing this, Mu Renjie seemed quite disappointed.

"Hmph! Why do you think Wei Sheng dared to let Wei Mingcheng come alone?"

The Wei Mingcheng of today is not the little brat who used to follow you around like that!

Did you know that the previous sect leader even passed on his second-tier divine weapon to Wei Mingcheng?

"What?! Wan Shentong has gone mad?!" Mu Yuan was shocked, filled with envy and jealousy.

"A second-tier divine weapon is actually being passed on to someone outside the family? Can the rest of the Wan family agree to this?"

Mu Yuan could hardly believe his ears. With a second-tier divine weapon, breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm was a sure thing.

Even without the recognition of the divine weapon, as long as one can unleash even a fraction of its power, the chance of breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm will increase by 20%.

The key point is that the Wan family's influence within the Five Poisons Sect is not weak. Instead of passing on the divine weapon to his son or grandson, Wan Shentong actually passed it on to Wei Mingcheng of the Baiyun lineage.

This was almost a clear indication to everyone that Wei Mingcheng was the next sect leader.

How come the Wei family gets all the good things?

"The power of a second-tier divine weapon far exceeds your imagination, and the divine weapon of the previous sect leader will have a terrifying boost to speed and explosive power."

It's impossible for my father and I alone to kill Wei Mingcheng.

Even if we could keep him, the result would be that I might get injured.

"And you are doomed!" Mu Renjie couldn't help but marvel at how much Wan Shentong valued Wei Sheng.

Back then, Wan Shentong was preparing to pass the position of sect leader to Wei Sheng. If it weren't for Chen Hong's incident, Wei Sheng would probably have already become the sect leader.

Since Wei Sheng can no longer be the sect leader, he will let his son be the sect leader.

Mu Renjie felt resentful whenever he thought about it.

"What if we find another protector?" Mu Yuan suddenly asked.

“Leaving Huanglong Mountain without permission is a violation of the sect’s rules, and the other protectors should not be trusted.” Mu Renjie’s gaze sharpened.

"Father! The sect leader and Wan Shentong are both severely injured and are currently in seclusion. If we can seize Wei Mingcheng's divine weapon, we won't have to live under someone else's roof anymore. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we succeed, we can simply surrender to the barbarians."

Mu Yuan advised.

"This matter..." Mu Renjie hesitated.

“Leave this matter to me. Wan Jiang from the Wan family has come to Black Mountain Town with Wei Mingcheng. Wan Jiang is the Wan family's most talented martial artist of this generation. He can't possibly sit idly by and watch the Wan family's heirloom weapon fall into Wei Mingcheng's hands. I'll contact Wan Jiang, and then we'll work together from the inside to kill him in one fell swoop!”

A murderous glint flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes.

"We need to think this through carefully," Mu Renjie said in a deep voice. Although he had successfully tricked Chen Hong back then, Wan Jiang and Wei Mingcheng had grown up together since childhood and were as close as brothers. They might not be so easy to persuade. If they failed to sow discord and fell into a trap, that would be fatal.

The Five Poisons Sect is always thinking about cleaning up its own ranks.

Although the Five Poisons Sect is no longer as dominant in the city as it once was, it is still a formidable force, and apart from Wei Sheng, it still has some skilled fighters to its name.

Baiyun Martial Arts School.

backyard.

Upon returning to town, Zhou Qing immediately found Wei Mingcheng and explained the situation to him.

"What? Mu Yuan and Mu Renjie have appeared at Black Wind Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingcheng frowned.

"you sure?"

“My junior brother has a falcon that is extremely intelligent. I showed it the portraits of Mu Yuan and Mu Renjie, and the falcon has already confirmed it,” Zhou Qing explained.

After much deliberation, he concluded that the Mu family father and son's appearance in Heishan Town was very likely related to Wei Mingcheng.

With Wei Mingcheng's strength, as long as he doesn't leave the town, Mu Renjie can't do anything to him.

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Mingcheng nodded and chose to believe Zhou Qing's intelligence.

"I am aware of this matter. I will be careful. You should go back now."

"Yes." Seeing Wei Mingcheng's confident demeanor, Zhou Qing said no more.

"Senior Brother Wei, I still need to report this matter to the Demon Suppression Division, so I have to go to the county town."

Before leaving, Zhou Qing explained the situation to Wei Mingcheng.

He didn't 'deserve in the face of battle'.

"Alright, be careful. I'll take care of things at the martial arts school," Wei Mingcheng replied.

"Take care, Senior Brother Wei." Zhou Qing left the martial arts school.

Wei Mingcheng paced back and forth in the room, deep in thought. After a moment, he went to the west wing and woke up Wan Jiang, who was fast asleep.

After leaving the martial arts school, Zhou Qing left the town and headed to Huanglong Mountain overnight.

He had Tiger Eagle monitor the Mu family father and son from an altitude of over a thousand meters.

Now that Mu Renjie is here, Huanglong Mountain is much safer.

This is a good opportunity to go to Huanglong Mountain to look for apricot blossom spirit wood and fire cloud mushroom.

If either one is found, the red apricot wine or fire toad wine needed by the wine worms can be brewed.
