All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 50 Azure Water True Qi! An Internal Energy Genius? (Third update, please continue reading!)

The page is missing the crucial steps for the evolution of the Green Silk Gu into the Poison Flower Butterfly.

It made Zhou Qing feel like she was listening to a storyteller's story, only to have it cut short.

"Poisonous Flower Butterfly, Poisonous Flower Butterfly."

Zhou Qing savored it carefully.

Since it contains the word "poison," then a key factor in evolution must be highly toxic.

The methods he uses to cultivate the Green Silk Gu now are, besides blood essence, and poisons.

So whether there are key steps or not, it doesn't matter.

According to Lin Qiu, Lin Tianzheng didn't take the Green Silk Gu seriously; he only cared about the Wine Worm.

Zhou Qing didn't think he had that kind of luck, since Er Qing just happened to have the aptitude to be a Gu King.

"The key is still to rely on the 'jade tablet' to work up a liver fire."

Once Zhou Qing understood the crux of the matter, he stopped worrying about it.

Lin Tianzheng should possess a more complete Gu Master inheritance.

"Even if Lin Qiu wasn't lying to me, being at the Tendon Refining Realm is definitely not enough to deal with Lin Tianzheng. And..."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

“I am in the shadows, while Lin Tian is in the light. It seems I have no need to be his enemy.”

Treat Lin Tian as a hypothetical enemy and be cautious; there's no need to confront him directly.

"The key now is still the alcohol bug!"

Zhou Qing's attention returned to the first evolutionary path.

The probability of successfully refining the Green Silk Gu into a wine worm is extremely low.

The first stage requires nourishment with human qi and blood.

In the second stage, once the Green Silk Gu has grown a little bigger, it needs to drink a lot of alcohol.

The Green Silk Gu usually chooses to parasitize people with strong Qi and blood.

Those who are parasitized will initially be affected by the power of the Green Silk Gu, their blood and qi will be strengthened, and their strength will increase.

"No wonder Lin Tianzheng released hundreds of Green Silk Gu, yet not a single person voluntarily revealed themselves."

Those who are unaware of the truth will immediately think they have had some kind of miraculous encounter.

How could I dare let anyone else know about such a 'treasure'?

Especially since the Green Silk Gu has already parasitized the body, the only way to get it out would probably be to cut open the chest and abdomen.

"If I really have the chance, I wouldn't mind fighting against evil and upholding justice."

He didn't consider himself a great philanthropist; he was simply repaying kindness with kindness and retaliating with violence.

Lin Tianzheng has what he wants, and he is a vicious and ruthless man. If he can kill him, he will not let this opportunity pass.

"There are 'wine worms' that are half-evolved in Jiuquan. If you bring more fine wine to lure them out of Jiuquan, you can subdue them in one fell swoop."

The wine worm resembles the green silk gu in appearance, but it is entirely white.

The Green Silk Gu in Jiuquan should have evolved to the halfway point.

However, the problem now is that Lin Qiu has been killed, and someone will find out about it in a few days.

If Lin Tianzheng finds out, he will likely come back to investigate.

If he were to buy expensive drinks in town, it would certainly arouse suspicion.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Zhou Qing calmed down.

His only advantage over Shanglin Tianzheng now is intelligence.

To buy alcohol, one must disguise oneself and travel to other counties and towns; one must never flaunt wealth in Heishan Town.

"Right now, the only person who might know about the wine bug is Zhang Jian. And he, too, doesn't know anything about my background."

Zhou Qing thought of Zhang Jian.

Even if Zhang Jian knew where the wine worm was, he wouldn't be able to subdue it in a short time, and he couldn't even safely pass through the miasma area.

"We need to expand the surveillance range in the mountains."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

He has six Golden Silkworm Gu and tens of thousands of Golden Silkworms.

After that, we can train some more armored flying ants. Their combat power may not be great, but they are more than enough for reconnaissance.

In addition, after another month or two of training, the tiger eagles can be released into the mountains and forests. At that time, the amphibious reconnaissance forces will cooperate to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"It all comes down to strength."

Zhou Qing put down the Gu Refining Manual and examined the other spoils of war.

Another secret manual that Lin Qiu possessed was a leg technique called 'Shadowless Kick'.

The cover was stained with blood, so he probably took it from someone else.

Since it's a leg technique, Zhou Qing should take the time to practice it.

Running fast is very important.

If you encounter a powerful enemy that you can't defeat, you can still run away.

Then, Zhou Qing picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it, but there was no sound.

Upon opening them, all three porcelain bottles were found to be empty.

As for the two leather bags, he didn't know what was inside and didn't open them easily.

"The quality of these boxing gloves isn't even as good as mine." Zhou Qing glanced at Lin Qiu's boxing gloves and threw them back onto the bed.

Finally, he picked up the Bishui Gong he had purchased from Zhao's Trading Company.

"The azure waters are without a trace, yet the tide rises for ten thousand miles. Flowing throughout the six directions, its power pervades all things. This is the rising tide of the azure sea."

On the title page of the Azure Water Technique, there was a line of small characters that read the general outline of the Azure Sea Tide Technique.

"The Giant Kun Gang really has some spirit!"

Zhou Qing looked at the contents on the title page of the cultivation manual and couldn't help but sigh.

This Azure Water Skill is a simplified version of the Azure Sea Tide Technique, and this general principle was not deleted.

A few general principles alone are not very useful.

But it contains a majestic aura that encompasses the universe, clearly indicating a top-tier internal energy cultivation method.

The Giant Kun Gang isn't afraid of being coveted by others.

Zhou Qing was beginning to believe what Zhao Sheng had said.

Perhaps if I master the Azure Water Skill, I could actually become a leader in the Giant Kun Gang.

"It's easy to learn, which suits me right now." Zhou Qing repeatedly flipped through the contents of the Azure Water Skill.

The Azure Water Skill is divided into four levels, corresponding to the four stages of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

As Zhao Sheng said, it does indeed have the effect of strengthening tendons and bones.

However, starting from the third level, the mental techniques and mantras become too simplified.

"No wonder Bishui Gong is so cheap."

Zhou Qing suddenly realized.

The third level of the Azure Water Skill is too simplified. As for the fourth level, it is almost no different from the third level in essence. The mental techniques and incantations are vague and are all conceptual.

For example, it's like Zhang Wuji practicing the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth on Bright Peak.

The technique has seven levels, but he has only mastered the sixth level.

Even the creator of the technique didn't practice the seventh level; he only proposed a concept.

Of course, it's also possible that the martial artist who simplified the Azure Sea Tide Technique did so intentionally.

For Zhou Qing, internal energy cultivation, which enhances physical potential and also has the effect of strengthening tendons and bones, is enough.

Zhou Qing focused his attention on the first level of the Azure Water Skill, but he was not in a hurry to practice it.

He sustained minor injuries in today's battle with Lin Qiu.

If the Green Silk Gu hadn't devoured Lin Qiu's essence and blood, granting him a significant boost in vital energy, his injuries would likely have been much more severe.

[Skill: Azure Water Skill]

[Progress: First floor not yet mastered (0/100)]

After repeatedly flipping through the pages, a line of text finally appeared after the "Martial Artist" profession.

"Go buy the supplementary medicine for the blood-tonifying powder when it gets light."

Zhou Qing wrapped the two hundred taels of silver notes, along with all the items he didn't need for the time being, in oiled paper, put them into a ceramic jar, sealed it, and then carefully sealed the jar in a hidden compartment in the corner of the silkworm house.

He still had nearly fifty taels of silver on him, which would be enough for a short time.

As for the thirty-two portions of Purple Monkey Fruit, Jade Leaf Flower, and Salvia miltiorrhiza, he put them in the cabinet along with the Azure Water Skill manual.

"Whoo~"

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes to rest.

Before long, he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Zhou Qing carried a basket up the mountain and opened the two leather bags. Inside were flying ants.

These were fed by Lin Qiu with his own blood and essence, but they could not be used by him and all ended up in Chi Yan's stomach.

The poison from Chi Yan played a crucial role in killing Lin Qiu this time.

Around noon, Zhou Qing carried a full basket of mulberry leaves down the mountain.

Upon returning to town, he first went to Dafeng Pharmacy and spent six qian of silver to buy seven days' worth of blood-tonifying powder and supplementary medicine.

Upon arriving home, I immediately prepared the blood-nourishing powder according to the prescription.

Half is taken internally, and the other half is used for medicinal baths.

In the afternoon, he went to the martial arts school as usual to practice the White Cloud Palm technique.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Qing's body had fully recovered by the second day.

For the remaining six days, he practiced the Azure Water Technique.

That afternoon, he sat cross-legged in the silkworm room.

"hu~hu~"

With each breath, a faint breeze lingered between his mouth and nose.

"Wow~"

He didn't know how much time had passed when he seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves.

At this moment, the Qi he cultivated in his dantian, along with the Qi and blood in his chest, flowed through all the meridians of his body. After several cycles, it returned to his dantian like a vast ocean embracing all rivers.

At this moment, his dantian was filled with a misty, ethereal atmosphere, a mixture of reality and illusion.

Zhou Qing suddenly opened his eyes, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in them.

"The Azure Water Technique records that only those with exceptional talent can cultivate true qi within ten days. Could I be a genius in cultivating internal energy?!"
