All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 145 Preparations for Refining Second-Order Gu Insects, Heading to Wuxi
"Wei Hongyu!! Zhou Qing!!" Mu Renjie shouted menacingly, repeating these two names over and over.

"The murderer has been found, and the Spirit Corpse of the Wood Spirit should also be on these two people. I can help you obtain the Spirit Corpse of the Wood Spirit."

But if you want to kill Wei Hongyu, you must have a detailed plan. I don't want to be targeted by the Poison Demon and the Five Poisons Sect.

Moreover, according to the agreement, you must first help me obtain the Fire Spirit Corpse, at least to give me some hope.

Xiao Kang's expression was solemn.

Given Wei Sheng's style of doing things, even if he is seriously injured, once he learns of this matter, he will fight him even if it means dying together.

Mu Renjie pondered and said, "The Supreme Fire Spirit Corpse is not so easy to obtain. Now that the Supreme Wood Spirit Corpse is lost, the Witch God Sect will definitely make a big move. Your Demon Suppression Division should have received the news as well."

"The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Witch God Sect have both appeared. Lan Canghai, however, has not made a move. It is estimated that his previous injuries were too severe, and he will not be out of seclusion for a while."

Xiao Kang said in a deep voice.

The Holy Son of the Witch God Cult is powerful, no less so than him.

Even if Wei Sheng knew the location of the Fire Spirit Corpse's hiding place, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the Holy Son of the Witch God Cult within the formation, even if he wasn't injured.

As for joining forces with others, the Witch God Cult will definitely send more experts to provide support.

Even if we win, the cost will be immeasurable.

Moreover, there is only one Fire Spirit Corpse, and how to distribute it after the war is a big problem.

Mu Renjie looked confident: "You don't need to worry about that. The Eight Gates Locking Mountain Formation is too strong. Even a peak Blood Exchange Realm expert would find it difficult to break through in a short time."

Moreover, after this incident, they will definitely try to rearrange the entrance and exit of this formation.

"While the formation is being rearranged, that will be our chance to seize the Fire Spirit Corpse."

"Brother Mu, what brilliant plan do you have?" Xiao Kang's eyes lit up.

Mu Renjie said solemnly, "I have a close personal relationship with the vice leader of the Giant Kun Gang. I will spread the exact location of the Water Spirit Corpse."

Then make him make a show of wanting to seize the Water Spirit Corpse.

In this way, Lan Canghai will definitely not sit still and will send his experts to the Blackwater River.

Because he cultivates internal energy techniques that combine the attributes of metal and water.

Of the five Heavenly Fiend Corpses, those with the metal and water attributes were the most important to him.

Xiao Kang was surprised: "Oh? Brother Mu actually has connections with Chief Shen? You were able to get him to intervene?"

Shen Hai, the vice leader of the Giant Kun Gang, is the sworn brother of the former leader of the Giant Kun Gang. He is a master of blood exchange who has reached the third level of the Blood Exchange Realm, the Long Dragon of Qi and Blood, through seven blood exchanges.

"That happened years ago, let's not talk about it." Mu Renjie said with a sullen face, looking like he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"If Chief Shen were to step forward, he would definitely be able to attract a large number of experts from the Witch God Sect to relocate!"

Xiao Kang nodded.

In the Southern Frontier region, the three most famous peak Blood Exchange Realm experts come from the three major forces: the Witch God Sect, the Giant Kun Gang, and the Five Poisons Sect.

Lan Canghai, Wan Shentong, and Liang Gui are all top-tier experts who have completed twelve blood transfusions.

Among them, Liang Guicheng, the former leader of the Giant Kun Gang, was the first to become famous. It is said that he went to the Central Plains ten years ago and obtained the opportunity to break through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and had already transcended the mundane world.

"Before that, I need to retrieve the divine weapon and the Spirit Wood Corpse from Wei Hongyu and Zhou Qing," Mu Renjie said coldly.

"You're going to attack them?!" Xiao Kang was shocked to hear this.

"Zhou Qing is out of the question. Even if he seizes the Supreme Wood Spirit Corpse, he will need to consume a lot of essence blood to activate it. He is not worth worrying about."

However, Wei Hongyu had broken through the Blood Exchange Realm and even obtained a divine weapon from the county city.

The fact that it could inflict such severe injuries on Wei Sheng speaks volumes about the power of this divine weapon!

Mu Renjie snorted coldly: "Hmph! What do you know? Wei Hongyu's divine weapon is called 'Jade Toad Robe,' which combines offense and defense."

Although it was a top-quality weapon, it was countered by the 'Golden Serpent Sword' in my hand.

Even though I'm injured now, dealing with her won't be a problem.

The problem now is Zhou Qing. What if he gets his hands on the 'Heavenly Centipede Blade' from Yuan'er?

Then the power of the 'Golden Serpent Sword' in my hand will be restrained and greatly reduced.

If we're going to take action, we have to deal with Zhou Qing first.

Once we retrieve the Heavenly Centipede Blade and the Spirit Wood Corpse from his hands, we can completely suppress the Blood Soul Curse.

Xiao Kang pondered for a moment and said, "Then the two of us will join forces to deal with Zhou Qing. I don't think he can cause any trouble."

"No need. I'll handle Zhou Qing. You don't need to get involved."

Mu Renjie shook his head and refused.

"What? Brother Mu doesn't trust me? Are you afraid I'll snatch the Wood Spirit Corpse?" Xiao Kang chuckled dryly.

Mu Renjie's lips curled up in a cold smile, and he remained silent.

“Very well, if that’s the case, then I, Xiao, will also pledge my loyalty. When Brother Mu attacks Zhou Qing, I will capture the Poison Demon’s youngest son, Wei Mingcheng, and then force Wei Hongyu to show herself. The two of us will then join forces to kill him, how about that?”

Xiao Kang said in a deep voice.

Mu Renjie pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

"Brother Mu, please stay here to recover from your injuries. Once your injuries have healed, you can decide when to proceed."

Xiao Kang said with a smile.

"Hmm." Mu Renjie nodded, took out the Great Rejuvenation Pill from the porcelain bottle, and swallowed it without hesitation.

Xiao Kang put his mask back on, donned his black robe, and left the dark room.

He walked out of the narrow alley, and a short, stout middle-aged man who wasn't wearing a mask walked towards him at the alley entrance.

Seeing this, Xiao Kang stepped aside and made way for the short, stout man.

Xiao Kang left only after the short, stout man entered the alley.

He hadn't gone far when Xiao Kang suddenly felt a strange sense of being watched. He turned around abruptly and looked behind him, but there was no one there.

Xiao Kang chuckled inwardly at his own paranoia, then quickened his pace and left.

At this moment, at the entrance of the alley, the short, stout man leaned against the wall for cover, thinking to himself, "That was close!"

A moment later, he walked out of the alley again, but the figure of the man in black robes had disappeared.

"Could that person be a Grand Martial Master at the Blood Exchange Realm?! Such a powerful expert coming to the black market... could it be..."

The short, stout man pondered to himself. This person was none other than Zhou Qing in disguise.

After breaking through the fourth level of the Qingmu Sutra, he successfully completed the Yi Jin Jing and broke through the bone barrier.

Now he can freely shrink his bones and change his body shape; even the bones in his face can be moved.

Therefore, he deliberately did not wear a mask when the black market opened this time.

Zhou Qing now possesses two kinds of true essence: Azure Water True Essence and Azure Wood True Essence. He has also mastered the Spirit Nourishing Technique, and can even change his own aura.

"I hope there really are Fire Cloud Mushroom and Blood Jade Mushroom."

Zhou Qing re-entered the alley.

The reason he went to the black market this time was because news had spread that someone had found Fire Cloud Mushroom and Blood Jade Mushroom in the mountains.

The Fire Cloud Fungus that Ruyan found in Huanglong Mountain was not old enough, so the Fire Toad Wine she brewed was far inferior to the Red Apricot Wine.

The fire cloud mushroom that appeared on the black market this time is said to be over a hundred years old.

Because Ruyan frequently asked the Apricot Blossom Spirit Tree for branches and leaves, that Apricot Blossom Spirit Tree has been moved away and left Huanglong Mountain.

Zhou Qing needs to brew wine with fire cloud mushrooms to continue feeding the wine worms.

As for the Blood Jade Mushroom, it was equally important to Zhou Qing. It was a mushroom that grew on the corpse of a powerful alien beast after it died.

Blood Jade Mushrooms grow by absorbing the blood and energy of powerful beasts that die, so consuming them can replenish a large amount of blood and energy.

However, the blood and qi of the Blood Jade Mushroom are quite violent, and martial artists generally need a long time to regulate their qi after consuming it.

If it is not properly cleaned, it may cause disorder of Qi and blood, affecting subsequent cultivation.

Of course, most martial artists need to replenish a lot of qi and blood when breaking through the bone barrier or the major bottleneck of the blood exchange realm.

As long as I can break through the barrier, it doesn't matter if my Qi and blood become disordered.

After all, not everyone has the hope of making continuous progress.

In the Ping'an County area, martial artists at the Bone Refining Realm are already considered to be among the elite.

For most martial artists who specialize in refining tendons, there may be no hope of breaking through to the Blood Renewal Realm, so the Bone Refining Realm is their ultimate goal.

Therefore, the Blood Jade Mushroom is a treasure that mid-level martial artists who have exhausted their potential urgently need.

Zhou Qing needed the Blood Jade Mushroom in order to combine the Corpse Worm Gu King and the Supreme Wood Spirit Corpse, in preparation for refining a second-tier Gu worm.

In any case, what the Corpse Worm Gu King needs is vital energy; whether it goes berserk or not is irrelevant.

Because the Corpse Worm King's body is far stronger than that of a normal martial artist.

Others might think that the Corpse Worm Gu King is completely indifferent to the rampant blood and qi.

As for whether it is mixed or not, the Corpse Worm Gu King doesn't care at all.

After you buy the Blood Jade Mushroom, you can continue to feed it.

It just so happens that the chieftain and second-in-command of Golden Knife Stronghold are both Bone Refining Realm martial artists, making them the perfect choice to feed the Blood Jade Mushrooms.

After entering the alley, Zhou Qing came to a relatively spacious shop in the middle.

As soon as he entered the shop, a young martial artist greeted him, "Are you here to attend the black market trade fair?"

"Hmm." Zhou Qing took out a token from his pocket and handed it to the young martial artist.

After inspecting the area, the young martial artist lifted the curtain beside him and said, "Please come in, sir."

Zhou Qing looked through the curtain and saw a staircase leading to the underground.

He walked down the stairs, descending about ten meters underground, when suddenly the view opened up before him.

A circular hall, easily over a hundred square meters in size, appeared before him.

A chair is placed every few meters around the perimeter of the rotunda.

At a glance, there were about a dozen martial artists sitting around.

Among these people, some wore masks, while others showed their true faces, but without exception, they were all martial artists with powerful auras and considerable strength.

Zhou Qing had seen portraits of eight Bone Refinement Realm martial artists, most of whom came from Ping'an County.

However, there were some he couldn't recognize.

After all, large families don't reveal all their trump cards; it's possible they secretly cultivate one or two unseen martial arts masters.

As Zhou Qing entered the hall, some of these people nodded in greeting, while others simply ignored him.

In the middle of the hall, there was a long table.

At this moment, a female warrior wearing a straw hat stood in front of the long table, placed down the carcass of a giant red-haired rat, and asked for a price of one thousand taels of silver.

In the end, it was bought by a burly monk.

Zhou Qing sat in his seat with a blank expression.

A moment later, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a mustache came to the long table, took out a wooden box from the leather bag, and inside lay a crimson Ganoderma lucidum, which was the Fire Cloud Ganoderma lucidum that Zhou Qing needed.

"Fire Cloud Mushroom is very beneficial to martial artists who cultivate fire-attribute internal energy, and can also be used to cultivate the corresponding bone-forging secret technique."

I don't want silver, nor do I want to exchange it for anything. I only want to recruit a fellow martial artist to go to the Qilian Mountains together to find the Blood Jade Mushroom.

If we don't find the Blood Jade Mushroom in the end, this Fire Cloud Mushroom will serve as travel expenses.

The middle-aged Taoist priest said.

"You mean, as long as I go to the Qilian Mountains with you to find the Blood Jade Mushroom, I'll give you the Fire Cloud Mushroom for free? What a joke!" A grimacing old man sneered.

The middle-aged Taoist priest remained unmoved despite being ridiculed.

"I do want this Fire Cloud Mushroom, but I still have to travel west, which isn't on my way. What a pity," the bald monk sighed.

The others watched coldly. Although Huo Yunzhi was good, going to the Qilian Mountains with someone of unknown origin was risky. If they encountered a master of the Wuxi Barbarians, even a martial arts master might not be able to return alive.

"Is no one here?" The middle-aged Taoist priest waited for a long time, but seeing no one answer, he secretly shook his head.

"I want this Fire Cloud Fungus."

Just as he was about to put away the Fire Cloud Herb, a deep voice rang out.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it came from the short, stout middle-aged man who had been the last to enter.
