All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 32 Worshipping the Wine Immortal and Obtaining a Divine Position

“As the steward of the Zhao family, Zhang Jian doesn’t need to go into the mountains to hunt for money, so there’s only one possibility for him to go into the mountains.”

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

Without She Quanyi's guidance, it would be impossible for Zhang Jian to find Jiuquan.

Moreover, even She Quanyi did not know the exact location of Jiuquan.

Zhou Qing had a flash of inspiration, and an amazing idea came to mind.

"Unless Zhang Jian has already found Jiuquan, but he can't remember the way, which is why he needs someone to lead him away from the miasma."

The mountain path is winding and twisting, and with fog and miasma everywhere, even an experienced hunter might not remember the way.

Since Zhang Jian has the aura of Gu worms but no Gu worms, he must have come into contact with Gu worms, or even obtained them, and then lost them for some reason.

"What if Zhang Jian was the one who put the Green Silk Gu in Jiuquan?"

"Regardless of the truth, we cannot let Zhang Jian succeed in obtaining the Green Silk Gu."

Zhou Qing's expression darkened slightly.

After the conflict between Zhang Jian and him, Zhang Jian remained remarkably calm throughout.

They neither caused trouble for him nor for She Quanyi.

This patience alone made Zhou Qing wary.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it now!"

Zhou Qing made a decision without hesitation.

Instead of guessing here, let's go up the mountain and check the situation.

It's only afternoon now, and there's still some time before it gets dark.

If Zhang Jian dares to go up the mountain at this time, what is there for Zhou Qing not to dare to do?

If he were to encounter Zhang Jian outside and fight him one-on-one, he would still have some reservations.

But if you encounter it on a mountain, it will be much simpler.

Within the miasma's range, Zhou Qing was not afraid at all, even if he encountered martial artists who had refined their flesh or tendons.

"Come with me."

Zhou Qing gave the King of Golden Silkworms an order to follow him up the mountain.

The King of Golden Silkworms flapped its wings and flew to Zhou Qing's right sleeve, hiding inside.

Zhou Qing climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath. Looking at the miasma area ten meters in front of him, he did not choose to take a detour, but plunged into it.

"Whoo~"

Zhou Qing inhaled a large breath of bright yellow miasma into his lungs, but felt nothing.

"really."

Zhou Qing marveled at the powerful poison-avoiding ability of the evolved Green Silk Gu.

Although I could stay in the miasma for 45 minutes before, I would still feel uncomfortable.

Now, breathing the miasma as if it were normal air, I feel no discomfort whatsoever.

Following his previous memories and the guidance of the Green Silk Gu, Zhou Qing rampaged through the miasma.

Soon, the stone steps leading up the mountain came into view.

Zhou Qing quickly climbed the stone steps and arrived at the entrance of the Wine Immortal Temple.

"Let's go in and offer our prayers."

Zhou Qing originally intended to bypass the Wine Immortal Temple, but remembering the strange scene after offering incense to the Wine Immortal Grand Marshal last time, he stopped and went straight into the temple.

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision and he came in a hurry, he did not bring incense with him.

However, Zhou Qing still adopted a respectful posture as if offering incense, bowing his head slightly as he entered the main hall.

He walked to the incense table and found several sticks of incense lying on the ground beside it.

Zhou Qing picked up the incense sticks and, recalling the details of She Quanyi offering incense last time, folded the three incense sticks of different lengths into the same length.

He took out the tinderbox he carried with him, trying to light the incense sticks, but found that he couldn't light them no matter what he did.

"how so?!"

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly. He picked up a straw from the ground and lit it with ease.

"Is there something wrong with the incense sticks, or what?"

Zhou Qing tried again, but it still didn't work.

"The younger generation, Zhou Qing, passed through this place and paid homage to the Grand Marshal of Wine."

This eerie scene filled Zhou Qing with awe. He put down the incense sticks that he couldn't light and kowtowed three times to the statue of the deity.

Li Wuji's experiences were remarkably similar to those of Yue Fei in his previous life, which Zhou Qing found quite respectful.

"Hmm? What's that smell?" After Zhou Qing kowtowed three times, he raised his head and smelled the aroma of cooking.

He turned his head and saw that the three incense sticks on the ground had already been lit.

"This is."

Zhou Qing picked up the incense sticks and subconsciously looked up at the incense table.

It was this one glance that made his hair stand on end, and a chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

At some point, the statue seemed to have moved forward a few steps, and most of its body was now visible.

The mangled face was hidden in the shadows, seemingly looking down at Zhou Qing from above, its expression revealing its disfigurement.
seems to be laughing.

"."

Zhou Qing felt her mind go blank and her breathing quickened involuntarily.

"Pfft!" The Green Silk Gu suddenly appeared on Zhou Qing's shoulder, its fur standing on end.

"Erqing! You must not be disrespectful to the Grand Marshal of Wine."

Zhou Qing stopped the Green Silk Gu and forced himself to calm down.

He looked at the statue of the Wine Immortal, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling. At first glance, the other party's smile was more terrifying than a ghost, but upon closer inspection, it had a dignified and solemn appearance, without any sinister aura.

Zhou Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised the incense stick, and bowed again.

"Junior Zhou Qing pays homage to the Grand Marshal of Wine. I am grateful for the Grand Marshal of Wine's kindness and will continue to offer incense. One day, I will surely rebuild the golden statue of the Grand Marshal of Wine."

After bowing three times, Zhou Qing inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

When he looked at the statue again, he seemed to see a faint divine light.

Zhou Qing rubbed his eyes, but found nothing.

At this moment, the jade tablet in his mind shone brightly.

A line of pale gold text appeared in his field of vision.

You have gained the favor of the Grand Marshal of Wine and awakened a new skill—Worship.

You have acquired a new profession—Mountain Guardian (Cleric: Wine Immortal Messenger)

[Occupation: Mountain Guardian (Unawakened)]

[Skill: Worshiping Gods]

[Progress: Beginner (3/800)]

[Effect: Those who are devout and respectful will receive the protection of the Grand Marshal of Wine.]

"Clergy?!"

Zhou Qing looked at the words in his field of vision with a look of surprise.

Simply by worshipping the wine god, I unexpectedly gained a new profession.

Or it was a 'clerical profession' that I had never heard of before.

"Does one need to worship a god to awaken? Under the protection of the Grand Marshal of Wine... does a god exist in this world?"

Zhou Qing's mind raced.

His profession is called "Mountain Guardian," and he is under the protection of the Grand Marshal of Wine. Could it be that Black Wind Mountain will become his backyard in the future?
Although he was somewhat impatient, Zhou Qing still bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your kindness to this junior, Grand Marshal Wine Immortal."

[Skill: Worshiping Gods]

[Progress: Beginner (4/800)]

When Zhou Qing got up, he found that his progress in worshipping the gods had increased by 1 point.

"So it's okay not to burn incense?" Zhou Qing was delighted.

Seeing this, he bowed down once more.

"Thank you for your kindness to this junior, Grand Marshal Wine Immortal."

[Skill: Worshiping Gods]

[Progress: Beginner (4/800)]

However, this time, the progress did not improve.

"."

Zhou Qing glanced at the statue of the Wine Immortal hidden in the darkness.
