All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 207 Full Support! Tiger Demon Tai Sui!
“Here’s what we’ll do. From now on, you can withdraw one thousand spirit stones from the warehouse every month. Also, if you need any low-level Gu worms or materials for raising Gu, you can exchange them at the warehouse at the lowest price,” Wanqi Zongyuan said thoughtfully.

"Let me add another thousand, as a personal gesture of support for you," Wanqi Zongxuan added from the side.

In fact, a thousand yuan stones a month is more than enough for a first-level Gu Master. Even if Zhou Qing has a second-level Gu worm and has cultivated many Gu worms, a thousand yuan stones would definitely be enough.

Wanqi Zongxuan added another thousand yuan stones, giving Zhou Qing two thousand yuan stones every month. This income exceeded the range of a first-tier Gu Master, and some second-tier Gu Masters might not even have such a high income.

"Thank you, clan leader! Thank you, elder!" Zhou Qing said with a joyful expression.

Just two days ago, he was excited about receiving a thousand yuan stones, but he never expected that he would receive a huge sum of two thousand yuan stones every month thereafter.

In this way, even if something goes wrong while cultivating the wine worms, he can start over immediately.

He was originally worried that the 10% success rate of Gu refining brought by the Gu Master profession would not be high enough, but now that he has so many Yuan Stones, he can forcefully smash the Gu with Yuan Stones and still produce the Four Flavors Wine Worms.

"Since the clan leader and Elder Zongxuan have both expressed their opinions, I cannot be stingy. For the next six months, you may enter the academy's library at any time to consult the documents. If you have any questions about Gu refining, you may come to me at any time, including during your rest time."

Seeing this, Wanqi Zongbo, the academy elder, also made a promise.

"Then I can only spend more time cultivating the Vitality Leaves and try my best to prepare nine top-grade Vitality Leaves for each of you before you enter the Fallen Immortal Valley," Wan Qiyunting continued.

"Thank you both, elders!" Zhou Qing quickly expressed his gratitude.

Although Wanqi Zongbo is not good at fighting, that is in comparison to the clan leader Wanqi Zongyuan. He is also a powerful Gu Master at the second-level perfection, and he is knowledgeable and skilled in Gu refining.

More than half of the second-tier Gu worms in the Ice Spirit Clan's warehouse were jointly refined by Wanqi Zongyuan and Wanqi Zongbo.

Zhou Qing's cultivation of Gu worms so far has relied on both his own exploration and the awakening of the Jade Tablet profession, which involves a lot of luck.

Wanqi Zongbo granted Zhou Qing access to the library and was even willing to provide individual guidance, which was worth no less than two thousand yuan stones.

As for the benefits offered by Wanqi Yunting, they were equally substantial.

With his late-stage second-tier cultivation, cultivating vitality leaves is simple, but cultivating nine top-grade vitality leaves will take nearly a month.

The team selected to enter the secret realm has been finalized. Zhou Qing will lead the team, accompanied by Wan Qiwenlan, Wan Qiyushu, Wan Qibowen, and Wan Qiqingshi.

Each of the five people needs nine top-grade Vitality Leaves, which will take Wanqi Yunting five months to prepare.

Although the Vitality Leaves cultivated from the Nine-Leaf Vitality Grass cannot be used to refine Gu, nine top-grade Vitality Leaves can be used simultaneously to maximize the therapeutic effect.

Zhou Qing had witnessed the power of the top-grade Vitality Leaf a few days ago.

A Gu Master was seriously injured during a mission. His abdomen was ripped open, his internal organs were damaged, and his intestines were spilling out. However, he was saved by using only three top-grade Vitality Leaves.

Using nine premium vitality leaves together can heal or alleviate most serious injuries, unless they are fatal, such as a ruptured heart or decapitation.

The market price for a single top-grade Vitality Leaf is eighty Yuan Stones. However, in reality, Wanqi Yunting rarely cultivates top-grade Vitality Leaves. Instead, he entrusts the Nine-Leaf Vitality Grass to the Gu Masters below him to cultivate Vitality Leaves. Since those Gu Masters do not have Wanqi Yunting's cultivation level, they naturally do not focus on cultivating top-grade Vitality Leaves.

Therefore, the actual price of top-grade Vitality Leaf may be several times higher.

However, out of kinship, they would only sell to those who were seriously injured and dying for a low price of eighty yuan shi.

For someone who is not injured, buying multiple Vitality Leaves at once might cost hundreds or even thousands of Yuan Stones.

To stockpile nine top-grade Vitality Leaves at once would require spending several thousand Yuan Stones.

Those who can afford this price are basically only the powerful elders of the clan and their direct descendants.

Having nine top-grade vitality leaves in hand is like having half a life extra.

It must be said that Wanqi Yunting has really gone all out this time.

However, this is also related to the fact that his son, Wanqiyushu, is about to follow Zhou Qing into the Fallen Immortal Valley.

In short, Zhou Qing had already gained a great deal of benefits even before entering Fallen Immortal Valley.

Of course, he also knew that if he hadn't brought out the Longevity Gu on this trip, even if the clan leader and elders wouldn't punish him openly, he probably wouldn't have a good time in the future.

Because if something happens to Wanqi Zongyuan, the Ice Spirit Clan will naturally be affected, which in turn will affect Zhou Qing.

Both sides are bound together by prosperity and adversity.

"Zongzheng, you should go back now. Use the time to prepare." Wanqi Zongyuan nodded.

"Yes, this junior will take his leave." Zhou Qing bowed and withdrew.

After Zhou Qing left, Wanqi Zongyuan sighed softly.

"I hope he succeeds."

"Clan leader, don't worry. I believe that with Zongzheng's abilities, there is definitely hope of bringing back the Longevity Gu," Wanqi Zongbo reassured him.

"I only hope that all the children can return safely. Even if they can't bring back the Longevity Gu, I will have no regrets. When the envoy arrives again, I will let the children go with him to the blessed land. In a few years, as long as even one of them can rise to prominence, the Ice Spirit Clan can return to its peak." Wanqi Zongyuan sighed.

He was not pessimistic, but rather quite optimistic.

In his view, even with Zhou Qing leading the team, the success rate of bringing back the Longevity Gu was less than 50%.

Besides the problem of the four clans joining forces, the Longevity Gu itself is good at hiding and escaping, so even if you know where it is hiding, it is not easy to capture.

He only hoped that even if Zhou Qing couldn't bring back the Longevity Gu, he could at least bring Wenlan and the others back safely.

"Try to prepare more second-tier consumable Gu worms for the children; it will increase our chances of winning," Wanqi Zongxuan said.

A first-tier Gu Master's true essence is still too little. Using even one second-tier consumable Gu worm is already a stretch. Even if he brings two, he has to wait until his true essence is restored before he can use them again.

While using Yuan Stones can accelerate the recovery of true essence, it is simply unrealistic to rely on Yuan Stones to recover true essence during combat.

Once you enter Fallen Immortal Valley, if you encounter a battle that requires the use of second-tier consumable Gu worms, it will definitely be a life-or-death battle, and it will be difficult to recover your true essence and use second-tier consumable Gu worms again.

"If only we could refine the Essence Gu together," Wanqi Zongbo mused.

“The Essence Gu is the most precious among the second-tier auxiliary Gu worms. The difficulty of refining it is too high. Moreover, the Essence Gourd has almost disappeared in the Qilian Mountains. I am afraid that the only hope of finding the Essence Gourd is in the Fallen Immortal Valley.” Wan Qizongyuan shook his head.

Of all the Five Streams Spirit Clan, only the Flying Feather Clan's patriarch possesses a second-tier Essence Gu.

Although the Flying Feather Clan and the Ice Spirit Clan are the closest, this matter concerns the success or failure of seizing the Longevity Gu.

The fact that the younger generation of the Flying Feather Clan did not participate in the siege of the younger generation of the Ice Spirit Clan in Fallen Immortal Valley was already a huge favor. Let alone lending the Essence Gu to a competitor, that would be a pipe dream.

Wanqi Zongyuan's words immediately brought Wanqi Zongbo, Wanqi Zongxuan, and Wanqi Yunting back to reality.

The three of them fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

"We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate," Wanqi Zongyuan said with a frank smile.

"Clan leader." Upon hearing this, Wanqi Yunting looked full of guilt.

“Yun Ting, there’s no need for this. Perhaps this tribulation is my destiny. If I can overcome it, I may be able to advance further. If I cannot, it is simply fate,” Wan Qizongyuan advised, while also trying to persuade himself.

That evening, Wanqi Zongxuan personally delivered two thousand yuan stones.

After seeing Wanqi Zongxuan off, Zhou Qing placed all the spirit stones he had on him on the table. "I'm really rich now!"

More than three thousand yuan stones were piled up on the entire table, making Zhou Qing's eyes a little blurry.

That evening, he went to his room on the fourth floor and began to refine the poison.

The fourth floor was where he cultivated; without his order, even Miaoyin wouldn't easily set foot there.

Zhou Qing closed the door tightly, then laid a large animal hide on the floor, and then took out half of the tiger demon's corpse.

As soon as the tiger demon's corpse appeared, it emitted a foul, fishy stench. Zhou Qing held his breath, feeling a bit dizzy.

"I didn't expect that the Tiger Demon's corpse would become even more poisonous after it died!" Zhou Qing pondered, releasing his icy aura to isolate the poisonous gas emanating from the Tiger Demon's corpse.

bass!
He took out the Heavenly Centipede Blade, and with the blade's energy, it swept across the room, finally landing entirely on the Tiger Demon's corpse.

He used the Heavenly Centipede Blade to evenly divide the tiger demon's corpse into hundreds of pieces.

puff!
Zhou Qing then used the Heavenly Centipede Blade to pry open the Tiger Demon's skull and took out a fist-sized black bead, which was actually the Tiger Demon's inner core.

The deadly poison within the Tiger Demon's inner core was slowly eroding the Ice Soul's chilling aura and true essence, spreading upwards towards Zhou Qing's wrist.

"What a terrifying toxicity!"

Zhou Qing's expression was solemn; he wondered if the Poisonous Grand Duke could withstand the deadly poison in the Tiger Demon's inner core.

The next moment, Zhou Qing released the Poisonous Tai Sui from his storage space.

A wriggling mass of flesh, resembling a meaty Ganoderma lucidum, appeared in the room. As soon as it appeared, it instinctively crawled toward the tiger demon's mass of flesh.

“Crunch~Crunch~”

The Poisonous Tai Sui wrapped the tiger demon meat inside, and then a series of crisp chewing sounds came from its body.

"Lulu lulu~!"

A moment later, the Poisonous Tai Sui's body suddenly trembled, producing a strange sound that was unclear whether it was pleasure or discomfort.

However, after its body stopped trembling, it wriggled toward another piece of tiger demon meat, slowly wrapped it up, and then chewed it carefully.

"It seems that the Poisonous Tai Sui really likes the toxicity of the Tiger Demon meat."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. Seeing this, he placed the Tiger Demon Inner Core in front of the Poisonous Grand Duke.

The poisonous Tai Sui wriggled and circled the Tiger Demon's inner core several times before slowly enveloping it.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

Seemingly sensing the difference in the Tiger Demon's inner core, the sound of the Poisonous Tai Sui chewing instantly became shrill.

"puff--!"

Suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded. The Poisonous Tai Sui trembled, and like a deflated balloon, its body instantly went limp, as if it had turned into a puddle of mud.

Zhou Qing's expression changed as he reached out.

He poked the Poisonous Tai Sui, but there was no reaction.

Even after he lifted the Poisonous Tai Sui up, it remained limp.

If Zhou Qing hadn't been able to sense the faint life force within the Poisonous Tai Sui, he probably would have thought the Poisonous Tai Sui was already dead.

"It can't be that bad, can it? The Poisonous Tai Sui can't possibly be poisoned to death, can it?"

Zhou Qing's forehead muscles twitched slightly. Seeing this, he quickly took out more than a dozen Yuan Stones and placed them on the animal hide. Then he placed the limp body of the Poisonous Tai Sui on the Yuan Stones.

At this moment, the Yuan Stone shimmered with a dim fluorescence, and the true essence slowly gathered into the body of the Poison Tai Sui.

"it works!"

In the days that followed, whenever the Poisonous Tai Sui finished absorbing the true essence from the Yuan Stone, Zhou Qing would replenish it with a dozen or so Yuan Stones.

And just like that, more than a month passed.

The poisonous Tai Sui finally made a move, reverting to its original form as a fleshy Lingzhi.

Its originally jet-black appearance has also changed, turning into a black tinged with purple.

Zhou Qing watched as Tai Sui devoured the tiger demon meat, and he used the Heavenly Centipede Blade to cut off a piece of Tai Sui meat.

Once the Tai Sui meat was in hand, the deadly poison began to invade the icy chill and true essence released by Zhou Qing. It was exactly the same as the poison released by the Tiger Demon's inner core, but it was more condensed and pure. Moreover, it did not have the nauseating stench of before, but instead emitted a strange fragrance, as if it were some kind of delicacy.

"Tiger Demon Tai Sui, it's done already?" Zhou Qing was somewhat dazed; things were going much more smoothly than he had expected.

"Perfect, let me give it a try!"

Zhou Qing took out the Wooden King Cauldron and placed the Tiger Demon Tai Sui meat inside.

Originally, the Tiger Demon Tai Sui meat was intended to be taken internally to aid in the cultivation of the White Cloud Palm Technique. However, Zhou Qing felt that the meat was too toxic, so he planned to use it to prepare a medicinal bath first. If he could tolerate it, he would then take it internally.

The medicinal bath was prepared that evening.

Having money is great; you can just buy whatever you need, and if you can't buy it yourself, you can ask someone to buy it for you.

Especially during this special period, Zhou Qing can directly ask several powerful elders in the clan for help with whatever he needs.

"hiss--!"

Zhou Qing stripped naked and sat inside the wooden cauldron. Numbness, itching, pain, and all sorts of unbearable sensations intertwined and assaulted his body.

At the same time, he felt his blood and qi in his body rapidly become active, and his skin, flesh, fascia, and bones were all tempered.

After getting used to it for a while, Zhou Qing took out a jade slip from the Spirit Guiding Plate and stuck it to his forehead. He decided to take advantage of the powerful effects of the medicinal bath to cultivate the middle volume of "Poison Dragon Golden Body".

"Crash!"

As Zhou Qing's mind sank into the jade slip, he began to cultivate according to the contents recorded in the Poison Dragon Golden Body. The dark purple medicinal bath also began to boil, eventually turning into a high-speed rotating vortex that constantly impacted his body.

After an unknown amount of time, when the color of the medicine faded and became almost clear water, Zhou Qing came to his senses.

At that moment, a line of text appeared in his field of vision.

[Skill: Golden Body of the Poison Dragon - Middle Roll]

[Progress: Beginner (88/10000)]

"Is this the Yinshan Sect's ultimate martial art?" Zhou Qing asked, his face showing surprise.

The beginner level alone has a progress of 10000 points, but this did not scare him. Instead, it made him even more eager to see the effects of the Poison Dragon Golden Body.
