All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 65 A Bountiful Harvest, A Clear Goal
"Heavenly Fiend Corpse. Black Wind Yellow Dragon Mountain".

Zhou Qing stared at the keywords on the note and fell into deep thought.

The name "Heavenly Fiend Corpse" sounds like something from the underworld, and it must be very powerful.

Huanglong Mountain is located on the mountain road between Heishan Town and the county seat, at least 20 or 30 miles away. It is difficult for anything to affect this area.

It's like how several villages and towns near the Heishui River were flooded, but it didn't affect the prosperity of Heishan Town.

However, the words "Black Wind" on the note, if there are no surprises, refer to Black Wind Mountain.

Zhou Qing took out a tinderbox, lit the paper, and began to reread the Blood Refining Gu Technique.

The further he looked, the more serious his expression became.

"Witchcraft Cult"

Zhou Qing frowned, his gaze gradually becoming deep.

Just by looking at the cruelty of the secret techniques recorded in the Blood Refining Gu Technique, one can get a glimpse of the Witch God Cult's modus operandi.

Within the Blood Refining Gu Technique, there is a secret technique called the Resentful Infant Gu. It requires surgically cutting open the abdomen of a pregnant woman about to give birth, then taking out the baby, strengthening the baby's physique with secret medicine, and finally using poisonous insects to devour the baby's body in a nibbling manner.

The Gu worms refined in this way contain the resentment of pregnant women and infants before their deaths. Once injured by the Resentful Infant Gu, one will be entangled by Yin energy and resentment, causing mental instability and derangement.

"Damn it!"

A murderous glint flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes.

If he encountered members of the Witch God Cult, he wouldn't mind letting the Gu worms have a good meal.

"Outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are still relics left by Gu Masters."

The Blood Refining Gu Technique mentions that, for some reason, all the Gu Masters migrated to the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, traces of Gu Masters' activities can still be found from time to time.

"It seems that to learn more about the secrets of Gu Masters, we have to start with the Witch God Cult."

Compared to being completely clueless before, at least I have a general direction now.

To this day, Zhou Qing still does not understand the cultivation system of Gu Masters.

Without the 'Jade Tablet', he would probably have had a hard time awakening the [Gu Master] profession.

However, judging from the few words about Gu Masters recorded in the Records of Strange Insects and the Blood Refining Gu Technique, it seems that there are rather strict requirements to become a Gu Master.

It mentions that one must open the 'primordial aperture' to be considered a true Gu Master.

However, it doesn't explain how to open the 'Primordial Aperture'.

Furthermore, according to the description of the Blood Refining Gu Technique, most Gu worms are violent in nature. The more intelligent the Gu worm, the more ferocious it is and the more difficult it is to control.

One of the techniques recorded in it, 'Spirit Control Technique,' requires feeding the Gu worms with one's own essence and blood, along with poisonous insects and precious medicines, in order to control the Gu worms.

Even so, we must be careful.

Once one is injured and one's vital energy and blood are greatly depleted, one is easily susceptible to the backlash of the Gu worms.

"This," Zhou Qing looked at Er Qing, who was standing on his shoulder.

"Pfft." Erqing met Zhou Qing's gaze and asked, "What?" Her small eyes were full of great confusion.

Zhou Qing felt that he was connected to Er Qing by blood, and he didn't need to worry about the risk of backlash at all.

He recalled that when he first found Erqing on Zhou Xian's body, Erqing was also full of murderous intent, and he only managed to subdue him with the help of the 'Jade Tablet'.

However, the jade tablet could sometimes help him subdue the Gu worms, but not always.

The jade tablet had no effect on subduing the golden silkworm worms, the crimson flames, or the purple fire flying ants.

Today, when he wanted to subdue the wine bug, Yu Hu did not help.

"Are you special?" Zhou Qing stared intently at Er Qing, who was currently the only one who could enter his body and merge with the jade tablet.

"Pfft, pfft." Erqing tilted his head.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much. We'll find out eventually."

Zhou Qing stopped thinking about it and turned to the last page of the Blood Refining Gu Technique.

"This is."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up as he looked at the contents recorded above.

"Corpse-dissolving potion!"

"Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment"

The last page records the preparation methods for two secret medicines, the first of which is corpse-dissolving water.

Anyone who has committed murder knows that killing is easy, but disposing of the body is the most troublesome part.

Zhou Qing never kills innocent people indiscriminately, but in this world, there will always be people who are looking for death. Without a secret medicine like corpse-dissolving water, which is essential for going out, it is really inconvenient.

"Great."

Zhou Qing looked at the detailed formula for the corpse-dissolving water. Next was the second secret medicine, the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment.

This Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment is a deadly poison for ordinary people.

When poisoning occurs, the person will first feel numbness and itching in their internal organs, as if being bitten by seven insects. Then, they will see colorful and strangely changing images, like seven flowers scattering.

However, for those who practice poison techniques, it is a precious medicine used to stimulate the potential of their physical body.

The seven insects and seven flowers used in this poison vary from person to person, and there are forty-nine different preparation methods, of which sixty-three are variations.

At the beginning, you can choose ordinary poisonous insects and flowers to temper your physical body.

If the poisonous insects and flowers found are potent enough, even someone immune to all poisons will not be able to resist the deadly poison of the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment.

"This Witch God Cult is truly extraordinary."

Zhou Qing was able to roam freely in the mountains because of his immune system, which made him immune to all poisons and allowed him to breathe in miasma as if it were air.

I never expected that this Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment could work even on someone who is immune to all poisons.

Being immune to all poisons does not mean that one will never be poisoned, but rather that one can quickly develop resistance after being poisoned and recover at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Zhou Qing possesses a body immune to all poisons. Soaking his hands in ordinary poisonous water is not entirely useless, but it does significantly reduce the irritation to his body.

With this Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment, the cultivation speed can be further accelerated.

The Crimson Flame, fed on the flesh of the Tai Sui, possesses a toxicity so potent that it can even incapacitate a martial artist at the Flesh Refining Realm. If its venom were used to refine the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment, it's uncertain whether a Bone Refining Realm martial artist could withstand it, but a Tendon Refining Realm martial artist would certainly not be able to withstand it.

"I don't seem like a good person."

Zhou Qing suddenly realized that his methods were those of a pure villain.

"That's true, I never intended to be a gentleman."

Zhou Qing carefully put away the Record of Strange Insects and the Blood Refining Gu Technique.

Then, he pricked his finger and dripped his blood onto the leather bag gu.

Blood beads slid down the surface of the black leather bag, and just before they were about to drip to the ground, Zhou Qing drew his long knife.

The next moment, his blood droplets were absorbed by the leather bag gu.

A feeling of blood connection arose.

"The world of Gu Masters is truly amazing." Zhou Qing picked up the leather bag Gu, put his hand into the crack, and felt around inside.

The leather bag, which looks only the size of a book, has an interior space of about two feet square, roughly the size of a regular hiking backpack.

With such a large space, you can put a lot of things in it.

When going out, you can put all your important things here, so you don't need to carry several bags.

Zhou Qing played with it for a while, then spread out the leather bag Gu and examined the bottles and jars in front of him one by one.

These jars mostly contain poison powder or the corpses of poisonous insects.

The largest porcelain bottle was filled with more than half a bottle of corpse-dissolving liquid.

There were ten bottles in total, two of which were empty and had a faint medicinal scent, possibly containing healing pills or something similar.

Unfortunately, this person had neither gold coins nor silver notes, nor even a few pieces of loose silver.

He must have been seriously injured and spent all his money.

"Sigh, let's just give you a proper burial."

Zhou Qing dragged the corpse away from the pool, poured the corpse-dissolving water on it, and watched as the corpse turned into a pool of blood that slowly seeped into the ground.

Zhou Qing returned to the edge of the pool and picked up the twelve Gu stones from the shore.

Inside the bright yellow Gu stone were the corpses of Gu worms, some of which he recognized and some of which he did not.

He put all these items back into the leather bag Gu one by one.

"Pfft!" Erqing immediately began to take credit when he put away the Gu stone.

"You rascal! I'll give you food, don't rush me." Zhou Qing laughed and scolded, picking up the last remaining steel fork.

"It's so heavy, could it be that this steel fork is made entirely of black iron?"

The steel fork is deep black with a reddish tinge, and its material is very similar to black iron.

Black iron is a valuable item.

This steel fork would be worth at least several hundred taels of silver if sold.

If melted down and reforged, it can also be used to forge a good knife.

If added to the Demon-Slaying Blade, it can further enhance the quality of the blade.

The steel fork was too long to fit inside the leather bag, so Zhou Qing stuck it in the ground and planned to put it in a basket when they went down the mountain.
