All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 30: The Mutated, Fully Formed Green Silk Gu (Please continue reading)

A burly man, nearly two meters tall and resembling an iron tower, entered the study.

It was none other than Wei Sheng, the owner of Baiyun Martial Arts School.

"Father." Wei Hongyu put away the inner armor.

"Greetings, Master Wei." Zhou Qing quickly bowed in greeting.

"Go ahead and do it without worry, don't be afraid." Wei Sheng smiled and patted Zhou Qing's shoulder with his large, fan-like hand, almost knocking him to the ground.

"Thank you, Master Wei." Zhou Qing grinned.

"You go first, I have something to say to your senior sister." Wei Sheng waved his hand.

"This disciple takes his leave." Zhou Qing bowed and withdrew.

After Zhou Qing left the backyard, Wei Sheng said to Wei Hongyu:

"Hongyu, you wouldn't have taken a liking to Zhou Qing, would you? Although he has decent talent and is alright-looking, but..."

Wei Sheng spoke with great detail and conviction.

"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a full twelve years older than Junior Brother Zhou."

Wei Hongyu scolded, "At your age, you still have no manners!"

“That kid is loyal and righteous. If we train him, we won’t have to worry about him betraying his master and ancestors. You really don’t like that kid?” Wei Sheng said to himself, and then asked one last question.

Wei Hongyu ignored him and changed the subject: "Didn't you take a liking to Lin Qiu?"

“Lin Qiu is indeed a promising talent, but his heart isn’t in the martial arts school. Lin Tianzheng has been getting very close to the Zhao family lately, so we also need to be wary of Lin Qiu.” When the topic turned to business, Wei Sheng’s expression became solemn.

"Didn't they say the Zhao family was colluding with the Witch God Cult? That Lin Tianzheng..." Wei Hongyu's expression changed.

"What does stance matter in the face of absolute interests!" Wei Sheng's face darkened, as if he was recalling some unpleasant memories.

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with us. Once you break through to the Blood Exchange Realm, we can just leave this place."

"After completing the bone refining, my qi and blood are almost at their peak. I should have a 50% chance of breaking through the barrier now," Wei Hongyu replied.

"No rush! Forcing your way through will limit your potential, and you'll lose hope of condensing the Three Flowers at the Top. Let's focus more on refining our Qi and Blood."

"Unfortunately, if the roots of that Tiger Demon Grand Duke were still intact, it would have elevated your Qi and blood to an even higher level." Wei Sheng sighed as he said this.

the other side.

Zhou Qing went to the kitchen to get the meat dish and then went straight home.

As he walked through the market toward Xin'an Lane, he suddenly felt someone was watching him.

He paused, looked at the alleys on both sides, and seeing no one, went into a small restaurant next door and bought two pounds of braised beef to take away.

Zhou Qing's figure disappeared at the end of the street.

Two boys walked out of the alley.

One of them had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were dark, bright, and piercing.

It was Lin Qiu.

The other man had handsome features, was dressed in white, and held a folding fan, looking every bit the wealthy young master.

"This person is quite perceptive; he almost discovered us."

The young man in white was Zhao Lie, the seventh son of Zhao Shoucheng, the head of the Zhao family.

But somehow he ended up associating with Lin Qiu.

“This Junior Brother Zhou seems unremarkable, but he probably has quite a few secrets.” Lin Qiu frowned slightly.

"This man is nothing more than a minor character, not worth mentioning. Since you're convinced that Zhang Jian of my household is problematic, why not just take action directly? I can make him disappear at any time," Zhao Lie said calmly.

"No way! That old guy has planted people in all six martial arts schools, but he forgot about the Zhao family. Given his style, he probably planted people in advance."

I was able to find out about Zhang Jian's investigation into 'Jiuquan' from the mountain people, and others could find out as well.

It's still uncertain whether Zhang Jian is truly connected to the 'Wine Worm,' so taking action rashly would only alert him.

Lin Qiu said in a deep voice.

"Since Zhang Jian can't move, what about that old hunter?" Zhao Lie closed his folding fan.

“No way.” Lin Qiu shook his head: “Without someone to guide us, we can’t get through the miasma area. If we can’t get down, it will be troublesome.”

"As a successor of a Gu Master, you can't even avoid this little bit of miasma?" Zhao Lie raised an eyebrow.

"That old guy taught me many Gu Master techniques, but he didn't give me any Gu worms. Besides, do you think just any Gu worm has the miraculous effect of ignoring miasma?" Lin Qiu said with displeasure.

"I was just curious, Brother Lin, please don't be angry." Zhao Lie cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's alright." Lin Qiu waved his hand. "I'll leave the task of monitoring Zhang Jian and She Quanyi to your men. Keep a close eye on them." "Don't worry, this is about getting to know someone, how could I be careless? I'll go and send more men right away." Zhao Lie said solemnly, then turned and left.

Lin Qiu's gaze turned icy as he watched Zhao Lie's departing figure.

He knew Zhao Lie harbored ulterior motives, but wasn't he the same?
For Gu Masters, the wine worm has a miraculous effect of helping them open their minds; for martial artists, it also has the wonderful effect of tempering their meridians and purifying their true energy.

If one can obtain the wine worm, one can either venture deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to find the Gu Master forces, or retreat far away, hide one's identity, and devote oneself to martial arts training.

With his superior physical constitution and the ability of the Wine Worm, breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm is only a matter of time.

If one can reach the Martial Saint realm of 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Converging at the Origin', one is not necessarily inferior to a high-level Gu Master.

If Gu Masters were truly as invincible among their peers as the old man claimed, they wouldn't have been driven out of the Central Plains by martial artists.

As for his collaboration with Zhao Lie, who will ultimately obtain the wine worm will depend on their respective methods.

The members of the Witch God Cult are now stirring up trouble, making this a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

This may be his only chance in this lifetime!
If we fail, the worst that can happen is death.

Zhou Qing returned home and went into the silkworm room.

In just one afternoon, the Green Silk Gu had devoured all six Gu stones.

At this moment, the Green Silk Gu was covered by emerald-green crystals, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhou Qing reached out and lightly touched it, and the emerald green crystal formed by the Green Silk Gu actually merged directly into his body.

Finally, it appeared in his mind and was absorbed into the jade tablet.

On the pure white jade tablet, the pattern of the Green Silk Gu appeared.

At this moment, the text following the profession "Gu Master" also changed.

[Refinement: Green Silk Gu]

[Progress: Mutated Complete Form - Evolving]

“A fully mutated form!” Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.

I wonder what will happen to the Green Silk Gu.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

The evolution of the Green Silk Gu took longer than Zhou Qing had anticipated.

Every day, a crack would appear on the emerald green crystals on the surface of the Green Silk Gu.

After a month, the emerald green crystal was covered with cracks, and the Green Silk Gu seemed ready to evolve at any moment.

Zhou Qing's life continued as usual.

Picking mulberry leaves in the morning, practicing martial arts in the afternoon.

A new batch of silkworms has begun to spin silk.

When tens of thousands of silkworms all began to spin silk, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a heat in his hands.

A line of text appeared in his field of vision.

Occupation: Silkworm farmer

[Craftsmanship: Silkworm rearing and mulberry harvesting]

[Progress: Mastery (20/800)]

[Effect: Your hands are incredibly dexterous; silkworms you care for are more likely to produce high-quality silk and have a certain probability of breaking through their racial limits to evolve.]

"Crack!"

At that moment, a crisp sound rang in Zhou Qing's mind.

The emerald green crystals on the surface of the Green Silk Gu shattered.

A bright green caterpillar, about a foot long and as thick as a baby's forearm, appeared on Zhou Qing's shoulder.

“What a double happiness!”

Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy.

【Occupation: Gu Master】

[Refinement: Green Silk Gu]

[Progress: Complete Mutant Form (1/800)]
