All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 266 Dual Cultivation of Gu and Martial Arts Breakthrough (Part 2)

Qilian Mountains.

'Niangwuxi' divides the entire Qilian Mountains into two regions, east and west.

The southwest lower reaches of the Niangwu River are home to two major barbarian tribes, the Shengman and the Shouhun tribes, and are thousands of miles away from the city of Nanli County.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was 500 miles south of the Beast Soul Clan, at the lowest point of the Niangwu River, near the direction of Tianzhu Mountain, when he found a valley covered by miasma.

The valley here is rich in water, wood, and the power of heaven and earth, but it is shrouded in miasma, so it is rarely visited by people.

After all, apart from those Gu Masters who possess extremely potent and deadly Gu poisons, most Gu Masters do not like to live in places with heavy miasma.

Moreover, there are many types of miasma in the mountains. Some of these miasma are not very toxic, but they are filled with a strong pungent smell.

Some of these places even have incredibly foul-smelling miasma; living in them for a long time is not much better than living in a latrine.

It belongs to the type that is not very harmful but extremely insulting.

However, Zhou Qing's constitution already exceeded the category of being immune to all poisons, not to mention that he also had the divine power of the mountain god. Although he could not completely dispel the miasma, he could guide the miasma to other places.

"The scenery here is quite nice."

Zhou Qing dispelled the miasma, and what came into view was a lush forest with verdant grass, flowing water, and extremely fresh air, even carrying a faint, sweet scent.

However, the so-called sweet smell in the air is actually the residual poisonous gas from the miasma.

Because Zhou Qing was completely unaffected, she found the taste to be sweet.

If an ordinary martial artist were in this situation, they would likely be poisoned within a short time, leading to lung failure and suffocation.

As for those lush green grass leaves, almost all of them contain toxins. The few plants that are full of poisons do not need to be touched; just getting within a ten-foot radius will cause poisoning.

rustling.
rustling.
Zhou Qing walked towards the deepest part of the valley, and along the way, faint sounds came from the bushes.

That was the poisonous insects moving to avoid Zhou Qing.

Because of the presence of the Poison Dragon Blood Sac, the poison in Zhou Qing's body is stored, so even if his poison skills are strong, they will not affect the people around him. He will only release the deadly poison with the help of the Poison Dragon Blood Sac during battle.

At this moment, in this secluded valley, Zhou Qing no longer suppressed the deadly poison in the Poison Dragon Blood Sac.

He was covered in a terrifying poison, which spread with his breathing and the heat dissipated through his skin.

Wherever it goes, trees wither, grass dries up, and poisonous insects die.

"I never imagined that I was the real king of drugs."

As Zhou Qing walked through the forest, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the poisonous insects that were trying to avoid them.

Upon arriving at the central area of ​​the valley, Zhou Qing took out a green root resembling ginseng whiskers from his Yuanqiao.

With a gentle toss, the emerald green roots took deep root in the ground, eventually growing into a towering tree over thirty feet tall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kaka!

With a crisp sound, fine cracks appeared in the towering tree, opening up an entrance. Wood chips kept flying out from inside, eventually forming a spacious wooden house.

Zhou Qing went inside, and countless vines grew rapidly, sealing the wooden house.

This time, Zhou Qing will be undergoing seclusion within the Wood God Gu.

Now that the Wood God Gu is Zhou Qing's natal Gu, it can absorb the earth's energy and wood-attribute power of heaven and earth to fight. Therefore, even if a third-tier expert appears during his breakthrough, they will have to break through the Wood God Gu's defense before they can affect him. After Er Qing evolves into the Seven-Colored Ink Butterfly, in terms of combat power alone, it is indeed far superior to the Wood God Gu, but in terms of defense, the Wood God Gu is still better.

As for Zhou Qing's other third-tier natal Gu, the four-winged Ice Silkworm, he left it at Huanglong Mountain to guard the place.

The Four-Winged Heavenly Silkworm's combat power is at the bottom among Gu insects of the same level. Even after fusing with the essence blood of the Ice Soul Mystic Spider and the Ice Fiend Gu, its own combat power has not been qualitatively improved.

As for its bloodline supernatural power 'Frost Domain', it requires Zhou Qing's cooperation to unleash its true combat power. Using 'Frost Domain' requires consuming a large amount of mana from the Four-Winged Ice Silkworm and Zhou Qing.

His main purpose this time was to retreat into seclusion to break through to a higher realm, rather than to fight with others.

With the two Qing weapons for attack and the Wood God Gu for defense, it's more than enough.

If even the combined efforts of Erqing and Mushen Gu cannot resolve a situation, adding another Four-Winged Ice Silkworm will not be decisive.

This time, the chance of breaking through to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Venerable Realm is not 100%, but it's at least 98%.

However, it will take quite a while to break through the bottleneck of the third tier.

If Liang Gui were to launch a sneak attack on Huanglong Mountain while he was away, even if the Four-Winged Ice Silkworm was no match for him, it could still hold its own. At the very least, it could take away important figures such as the Wei family, preventing its home from being raided and its stronghold destroyed.

In this way, Zhou Qing had no more worries.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged inside the Wood God Gu, recalling his journey so far.

I thought about it for a whole day and night before I came to my senses.

He released the Water Spirit Corpse, controlling it to sit cross-legged opposite him. Then he took out two top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pills, one for each of them.

"I'm probably the only one who would be so extravagant."

Zhou Qing secretly grumbled to himself.

Although it was a bit wasteful to give the Supreme Water Spirit Corpse a top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill, once he broke through to the third rank and went to the heart of the Central Plains, he would definitely be able to find high-grade Heavenly Spirit Fruits again, and then he could refine the top-grade pills again, so he didn't care at the moment.

The effects of the Supreme Heavenly Spirit Pill were still extremely powerful. Even Zhou Qing, whose blood and qi had already reached their limit, could vaguely sense that his blood and qi were about to be further strengthened.

The medicinal power flowed to his limbs and bones, and upon internal inspection, his meridians faintly glowed with a pale gold color.

While refining the medicinal power, Zhou Qing controlled the Water Spirit Corpse to cultivate the Azure Sea Tide Technique.

With top-grade elixirs and the Azure Sea magic power provided by Zhou Qing, the Water Spirit Corpse, relying on its Water Fiend Body which was comparable to a super-grade root bone, began to rapidly increase its cultivation at an extremely exaggerated speed.

A month has passed quietly.

The Water Spirit Corpse's cultivation had also reached the peak of the twelfth blood exchange, the level of half-step Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and it began to draw upon the water attribute spiritual energy that was overflowing in the world.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing was also refining the second top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill.

The wood-attribute spiritual energy gathered by the Wood God Gu was also converging towards him.

After the second top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill was refined, Zhou Qing's body emitted a faint glow, and his skin had a subtle, translucent quality.

Before officially attempting the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, he needs to condense the prototype of the 'Poison Dragon Will' in advance. Only in this way can he forge the 'Poison Dragon True Body' in one fell swoop when he breaks through, becoming a Grandmaster with top-level foundation, and in the future, he can compete with the peerless geniuses of those thousand-year-old families and ten-thousand-year-old holy lands.

In a short while, the purplish-black aura formed a protective shield, completely enveloping Zhou Qing's figure.

As time went by, the protective energy became more and more solid, and Zhou Qing's blood and qi continued to flow into the protective energy.
