All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 77 White Cloud Entangling Silk Force

Zhou Qing felt the power surging from within her body and adjusted to the changes.

This Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill was extremely potent. With Wei Sheng's assistance in refining it, he directly condensed the sixth Qi and Blood Cloud and broke through to the Flesh Refining Realm in one fell swoop.

It saves at least two or three months of hard work.

Moreover, at least two-thirds of the medicinal power in his body has not yet been refined.

It was only because he broke through the physical barrier and increased his physical strength that he was able to withstand the powerful medicinal effects.

"Thank you, Master, for giving me a new life!"

Zhou Qing was deeply grateful and bowed deeply in gratitude.

This precious elixir was so rare that only one remained, and Wei Sheng gave it to him directly.

"Since we are master and disciple, this elixir will be used on you sooner or later; it's just a matter of time before it's used on you."

The Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill is highly potent. Over the next few days, I will need to intensify my cultivation to maximize its effects.

Tonight's training ends here. Tomorrow at 3:45 AM, come to my room for instruction on the White Cloud Palm Technique.

Wei Sheng gave instructions.

"Yes, Master," Zhou Qing replied respectfully.

"Get some rest," Wei Sheng nodded and left the room.

"Take care, Master." Zhou Qing stood up and escorted Wei Sheng to the corridor.

After Wei Sheng left, he returned to his room, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"After more than seven months of arduous training, I've finally gained some ability to protect myself!"

Breaking through to the Body Refining Realm makes him quite a figure among martial artists.

"The so-called 'sharpening the skin and refining the flesh' requires patience in the first two stages. The 'tendon-strengthening and bone-forging' stages require patience in the last two stages. Now, having broken through the first two stages within a year, all that remains is to temper the body and prepare for the 'tendon-strengthening' stage."

Zhou Qing was full of fighting spirit.

Whether it's a genuine breakthrough in external martial arts to the Flesh Refining Realm or a deeply rooted Six Paths Qi and Blood Cloud Realm.

In terms of internal energy cultivation, the Azure Water Skill is about to break through to the third level.

His overall strength should be enough to fight against a martial artist who has mastered the tendon-strengthening technique.

Furthermore, it's unknown how much the combat power will increase once Erqing completes its evolution.

Once you have the strength to reach the Tendon Refining level, you won't have to hold back in this area.

“This makes many things much easier,” Zhou Qing said with a smile.

The twenty-nine gold beans I got from Zhao Lie can now be used openly on the black market.

In addition, there are the skins of the black-scaled python, as well as potions and poison powders made from various venomous substances, all of which can be sold for money to exchange for resources.

Because the local martial artists who cultivate their tendons all come from various powerful forces and are all well-known figures, they would not stoop to robbing others.

With the strength of a fully refined meat cultivator, one need not fear flaunting wealth in the black market.

“Normally, people don’t practice multiple internal martial arts, but I will be an exception.” Zhou Qing looked inward at his dantian and then at the fast-sleeping Wine Worm.

Before, we had to be discreet, but now that we have fewer concerns, buying alcohol has become much easier.

Furthermore, the medical techniques in the Green Wood Sutra also record the art of disguise and bone shrinking, making it difficult to be discovered if one wants to conceal their identity.

Only the dead knew that he possessed Gu worms.

Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary martial artist in the Body Refining Realm was actually a kind-hearted person who concocted poisons and raised Gu worms?

Zhou Qing lay on the bed and calmed herself down.

Can't sleep at all.

So he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to read the Green Wood Sutra.

Zhou Qing only practiced for a while according to the mental cultivation method, incantation, and cultivation route recorded by Qingmu, and the Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill in his body, which was not yet fully refined, continuously provided medicinal power.

【Craft: Green Wood Sutra】

[Progress: First level not yet mastered (42/400)] The progress in the Aoki Sutra is rapid.

As night deepened, Zhou Qing circulated his Azure Water True Qi to calm himself down once more.

I still can't sleep.

"Cultivation brings me joy!"

And so, Zhou Qing practiced for another hour or so.

He didn't go to sleep fully clothed until 3:45 AM.

Get up early at 2:45 AM.

Although he only slept for an hour, he was full of energy and vitality.

When he arrived at Wei Sheng's bedroom and waited there, Wei Sheng had just gotten up.

"I met the master."

Looking into Zhou Qing's eyes, which held a restrained light, Wei Sheng smiled faintly, "I imagine you'll have a hard time sleeping tonight."

"I was a little excited, so I practiced a little longer."

Zhou Qing told him the truth.

"The Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill is very potent and greatly beneficial for cultivating both internal and external martial arts. Sleeping less is fine, but once the effects of the medicine are fully absorbed, you'll need to be mindful of the amount of time you spend cultivating," Wei Sheng advised.

"Disciple will respectfully follow Master's teachings." Zhou Qing bowed respectfully. He knew that simply cultivating internal energy wouldn't allow him to be fully refreshed after only an hour's sleep. The main reason was the powerful medicinal effect of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill, which replenished his vital energy.

"Let's have breakfast together before we practice." Wei Sheng sensed the vibrant energy emanating from Zhou Qing and didn't say anything more.

Back when he was Zhou Qing's age, he was far less mature than Zhou Qing and caused his master a lot of trouble.

Wei Sheng turned around, went back to his room, took out a white porcelain jar, and went to the kitchen with Zhou Qing.

At this moment, the cook had not yet gotten up. The master and apprentice were working together, one starting the fire and the other boiling water to cook the meat.

The white porcelain jar that Wei Sheng was carrying contained meat dishes that he was selling to his apprentices.

This time, however, the meat was the size of a human head, and it also had some white, snake-scale-like patterns on it.

After it was cooked, the two sat at the table next to each other and cut the meat with a knife to eat.

Wei Sheng would cut off several pieces before eating one himself, and most of the meat ended up in Zhou Qing's stomach.

After finishing the meat, Wei Sheng led Zhou Qing to the open space in the central courtyard.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's whole body was burning up and his face was flushed.

After eating the meat, the effects of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Pill also kicked in.

"Practice with me! I'll teach you the essence of the White Cloud Palm Technique—the White Cloud Silk Reeling Force!"

Wei Sheng entered the arena. Despite his burly build, his movements were as nimble as a snake. His seemingly weak palms moved with a light, airy motion, yet they produced a sharp, powerful palm strike.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Each time his palms paused, a sound like firecrackers exploded in the air.

Wei Sheng flew towards a wooden pillar in the corridor and struck out with his palm. His palm was still more than a foot away from the pillar when he heard a muffled "bang" from the pillar, and a clear outline of a hand was imprinted on it.

The next moment, Wei Sheng suddenly turned around, his body twisting and turning in the arena, leaping left and right, and rapidly approaching Zhou Qing with an extremely strange gait.

A large, fan-shaped hand landed on Zhou Qing's face, and a fierce gust of wind blew his hair into disarray.

Bang!
At the same time, Zhou Qing felt waves of invisible force surging from Wei Sheng's palm, sweeping across his cheeks, and finally converging behind his head, with a muffled sound in the air.

With his eagle eyesight, Zhou Qing noticed that Wei Sheng's palm had dense, almost imperceptible blood-red lines, like a spider web, covering his entire hand.

An invisible force swept over him, and Zhou Qing reached out to touch Wei Sheng's palm, only to find a powerful repulsive force blocking his hand.

The closer it got to Wei Sheng's palm, the stronger the repulsive force became.

"Is this the White Cloud Entangling Silk Force?" Zhou Qing's eyes widened. It was a power similar to true qi, but not the same.

PS: The upstairs neighbors were doing renovations all day, and I feel like my skull was shaken open by the electric drill. The update is a little late, Orz. The internal energy system in my last book went off-track halfway through; I'll write it properly this one and combine it with the Gu worms later on.
