All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 40 [Mountain God]! [Searching the Mountain and Subduing Demons]!
"【The Wine Immortal's Servant】? 【The Earth God】?"

Zhou Qing was taken aback when he saw the words displayed on the jade tablet.

After a brief moment of thought, he made a decision.

While he wouldn't actually utter the phrase "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," he preferred to take control of his destiny.

He only admired the Wine Immortal, but had no faith in him. Awakening as the [Wine Immortal's Divine Servant] would require even more faith, which he could not possibly achieve.

On the contrary, the [Land God] profession requires the power of faith to awaken divine power, which means that he himself is a god, not some divine servant.

The choice is obvious.

"Merge the [Mountain Guardian] and [Hunter] classes, and awaken the [Land God] class!"

Zhou Qing silently recited in his heart.

At this moment, the jade tablet within his soul shone brightly, but this time the light it emitted was not blue, but a pale gold.

A moment later, the two professions on the jade tablet, [Guardian of the Mountain] and [Hunter], merged, and a brand new profession appeared, displayed in pale gold text.

You have acquired a new profession—the Earth God.

[Without religious offerings and the blessing of famous mountains and rivers, the divine function of the 'Earth God' cannot be activated.]

[Awaken the lower-ranking divine class 'Mountain God'? Currently blessed by 'Black Wind Mountain', with a blessing level of 2.]

"Is the Earth God really this powerful?"

Zhou Qing was taken aback.

In my previous life, when I read myths, I felt that the Earth God was just a little karami who could be summoned at any time. I never imagined that he would need the favor of famous mountains and rivers.

"The mountain god is not bad either. The favor of Black Wind Mountain should be very useful."

Zhou Qing pondered.

For Zhou Qing now, Black Wind Mountain is the biggest mountain in the world.

To be favored by Black Wind Mountain is already the best possible outcome.

"Awaken the divine office of 'Mountain God'".

Zhou Qing silently recited in his heart.

The next moment, divine light shone from the jade tablet, and lines of text appeared.

You have awakened a new profession—Mountain God.

[You have awakened a new skill—Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons!]

【Occupation: Mountain God (Black Wind Mountain)】

[Divine Power: Insignificant (2/10000)]

[Effect: Spreads faith in the mountain god, enjoys incense offerings, and allows you to enter the dreams of believers using the supernatural power of 'dream entry'.]

[Skill: Searching the Mountain and Subduing Demons]

[Progress: Beginner (1/800)]

[Effect: As a lowly Black Wind Mountain God, your combat strength may not be as good as that of an ordinary martial artist, but on Black Wind Mountain, negative factors will have a significantly reduced impact on you. You will be more likely to discover poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, strange monsters, and rare herbs hidden deep in the mountains.]

"From now on, Black Wind Mountain will be my territory?!"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

I never expected that a lowly mountain god would possess such powerful abilities.

If he continues to strengthen his power, one day he will be able to bring the entire 100,000-mountain range of southern Xinjiang under his control.

No one knows how big the Ten Thousand Mountains are, or how many mountains there are.

The only thing we know is that the Ten Thousand Mountains are much larger than the entire Great Jin Dynasty. No matter how powerful a martial artist is, if they venture deep into them, they will never return. It is a forbidden zone for the human race.

"Ugh"

Looking at the map and notes in his hand, Zhou Qing thought of the tragic death of She Quanyi.

"You only have one life, so you can never be careless."

Zhou Qing reminded himself that the excitement of awakening his priesthood quickly subsided.

Even if he finds rare herbs and medicines as soon as he goes up the mountain, he will still have to face the strange beasts and monsters that guard them.

Strength is still the most important factor.

He couldn't even keep that weak Tai Sui plant, let alone encounter stronger strange beasts and monsters.

"I wonder what the world of Gu Masters is like?"

Zhou Qing was filled with curiosity about the mysterious Gu Master profession, but unfortunately, his current level was too low.

Currently, the only profession with a clear path to advancement is martial arts.

"I can only raise silkworms and practice martial arts while raising Gu worms at the same time."

For Zhou Qing, there was no difference between the [Martial Artist] and [Gu Master] professions in terms of strength or weakness.

Because he possesses the jade tablet, which can solidify experience, as long as he persists in grinding proficiency, he will only progress and never regress. Where the ceiling lies, only heaven knows!
He should focus on whichever profession can make him stronger faster.

With a jade tablet by one's side, it is indeed feasible for the rich to help the poor.

Zhou Qing repeatedly perused the notes left by She Quanyi, reading until late at night.

The skill progress also increased by 4 points.

[Skill: Searching the Mountain and Subduing Demons]

[Progress: Beginner (5/800)]

The next day, Zhou Qing woke up from a deep sleep.

He got up from the wooden bed in the corner of the silkworm room and glanced at the pottery jar beside him.

"Ok?"

The earthenware jar, which had been weighed down by a large stone, lay on the ground with its mouth wide open.

Zhou Qing picked up the earthenware jar and saw that the meat of the Tai Sui inside had disappeared.

He looked around and saw a lump of snow-white flesh lying on the wooden frame. With its body slowly wriggling, it covered the silkworm pupae that had not yet emerged from their cocoons in the square cluster.

Immediately afterwards, a slight chewing sound came from beneath the body of the Tai Sui.

"It actually eats meat?!" Zhou Qing looked surprised. He hadn't expected that this piece of meat cut from the Tai Sui was not only alive, but also capable of eating.

Zhou Qing put on his boxing gloves and grabbed the Tai Sui meat.

Of the thousands of silkworm pupae in the square cluster, only one in ten survived; almost all of them had been poisoned.

"This is."

Zhou Qing discovered that the toxicity of the Tai Sui meat was greatly reduced after just one night.

Yesterday, when I touched the flesh of the Tai Sui, my boxing gloves were almost corroded by the toxins, but today there was no reaction at all.

"Has it gotten a little heavier?" Zhou Qing weighed the piece of Tai Sui meat in his hand.

As his skills in silkworm rearing and mulberry picking became more refined, his hands became increasingly dexterous, making him very sensitive to changes in weight.

He felt that the flesh of the Tai Sui was heavier than yesterday.

Zhou Qing carefully examined the wriggling flesh of the Tai Sui in his hand. Despite having eaten thousands of silkworm pupae, its size had not changed significantly.

"Could it be that this piece of Tai Sui meat can continue to grow?"

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

He glanced at the Green Silk Gu that was sleeping, suspended from the ceiling by silk threads.

"Alright, stop pretending to be asleep. I know you're awake."

"Puff puff." The Green Silk Gu slid down the roof along the silk threads.

"The Tai Sui meat escaped, why didn't you tell me? Don't tell me you were sleeping too soundly!" Zhou Qing poked the fluffy head of the Green Silk Gu.

No threat.

The Green Silk Gu's eyes, the size of broad beans, slanted to the side.

"You want it to cause trouble so you can have a legitimate reason to eat it, right?" Zhou Qing asked suspiciously.

【.】

Qing Si Gu raised its head and looked up at the roof.

"I'll give it to you after I've tested it. Don't try to play tricks on me next time!"

Zhou Qing said irritably.

【knew! 】

The Green Silk Gu rubbed its body against Zhou Qing's hand.

Zhou Qing's lips twitched. The intelligence of the Green Silk Gu was ridiculously high, already comparable to that of humans.

Black Wind Mountain.

"Crack! Click!"

From the bushes halfway up the mountain came the crisp sound of chewing.

There, a lump of snow-white flesh lay sprawled on top of the pile of dead poisonous insects.

The sound of chewing continued as the poisonous insects were gradually devoured by the flesh of the Tai Sui.

As a large number of poisonous insects were ingested, the color of the Tai Sui meat gradually changed from snow-white to black, and its size increased with each wriggling movement.

"really!"

Zhou Qing, standing to the side, beamed with joy.
