All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 90 True Qi Transforms into Silk! Unparalleled Blade Power!
"It's no use, Junior Brother Zhou. The injuries caused by the Heavenly Centipede Divine Weapon cannot be healed by any true qi unless one breaks through to the Bone Refining Realm."

Ma Wenchun shook his head, forcing a smile.

"Master was right about you. You've mastered the Green Wood Scripture so quickly."

"Brother Ma" Zhou Qing didn't know what to say.

"Junior Brother Zhou, let's hurry up and set off now. We can still reach the county town before dark," Ma Wenchun urged.

"Can"

"Even if you're not afraid, Grandma is just an ordinary person. Aren't you afraid Mu Yuan will poison her?"

"Senior Brother Ma, take care!" Zhou Qing gritted his teeth.

“That’s right. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. I may not be able to hold out until Master returns. If one day you achieve success in your cultivation, remember to help me cut Mu Yuan in the same spot. That way, our brotherhood will not have been in vain.”

Ma Wenchun frowned, forcing a smile despite the pain.

"If I have the chance, I definitely will!" Zhou Qing said firmly. Ma Wenchun was giving him a reason to leave.

"Go," Ma Wenchun said weakly.

“Senior Brother Ma, I can’t help you detoxify, but I should be able to alleviate your pain,” Zhou Qing said thoughtfully as he stood up.

"What?" Ma Wenchun was taken aback.

Zhou Qing lifted the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a black and red bracelet with several coils around his forearm, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

"Kaka!"

The next moment, the bracelet suddenly came to life, transforming into a large, three-foot-long, black and red centipede, which looked extremely ferocious.

"What is this?!" Ma Wenchun's pupils dilated, and his face showed surprise.

"What a huge, exotic centipede!"

"This is a rare species that I discovered by chance on Black Wind Mountain. I nurtured it for more than half a year before I finally subdued it."

This exotic venom is extremely cold and icy, and its properties clash with the toxin that my senior brother was poisoned with.

Using poison to fight poison should help alleviate some of my senior's pain.

If that doesn't work, it can at least help its senior brother suck out some of the pus.

Zhou Qing said seriously.

Ma Wenchun treated him well. Every time he received meat, although he wouldn't be given more according to the rules, he would always pick out some large pieces for him.

Now, they've taken the initiative to let Zhou Qing leave, sparing him the stigma of 'deserting in the face of battle'.

"Then let's give it a try, it can't get any worse." Ma Wenchun smiled bitterly.

Zhou Qing grabbed Chi Yan and placed it on Ma Wenchun's chest.

"Red Flame, inject your venom into Senior Brother Ma's wound. Be careful with the dosage!"

"Hiss~!" Crimson Flame reared up and hissed.

"This strange creature has such a strong spirituality!" Ma Wenchun exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Chi Yan carefully lay on Ma Wenchun's chest, slowly opened its mouthparts, and gently bit the wound that was oozing pus, injecting venom.

Zhou Qing observed Ma Wenchun's expression.

"Ah~!" In just a few breaths, Ma Wenchun suddenly turned ferocious and clenched his teeth.

"Senior Brother Ma!" Zhou Qing exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward.

Chi Yan trembled in fright, raised his head, and seemed somewhat bewildered.

"It's nothing." Ma Wenchun waved his hand, his expression relaxing. "It feels very comfortable."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing gave Chi Yan another order: "Continue."

As the amount of venom injected increased, Ma Wenchun's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

The pus oozing from his wound is increasing.

However, Chi Yan accepted everything that came his way, absorbing all the poisonous pus.

A moment later, the pus stopped oozing from Ma Wenchun's wound.

However, Zhou Qing noticed that Ma Wenchun's face was pale and bloodless, his complexion was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and his eyes were somewhat unfocused.

"Senior Brother Ma?!" Zhou Qing exclaimed in surprise, and flung Chi Yan away.

"Phew~ I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time, I almost fell asleep." Ma Wenchun came back to his senses and let out a long sigh. Although his complexion was terrible, he seemed more energetic than before.

"That scared me to death." Zhou Qing's temple twitched.

"How about I stay for a couple of days?"

"It's enough to alleviate the pain. Detoxification is impossible," Ma Wenchun said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"The most terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Centipede Divine Weapon is that its poison is incurable for martial artists below the Blood Exchange Realm."

Fire toxins will blend with the body's Qi and blood; as long as Qi and blood do not decline, fire toxins will not be eliminated.

As qi and blood increase, so does the fire toxicity. Only by breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm and cleansing the essence and blood throughout the body can the poison be neutralized.

"Could it be that Chi Yan only absorbed Senior Brother Ma's blood and qi just now, which is why..." Zhou Qing realized.

"That's right. This strange centipede uses its venom to alleviate the fire poison in my body. While it is sucking up the pus, it is also consuming my vital energy."

Ma Wenchun nodded.

"Why didn't Senior Brother Ma stop me?" Zhou Qing's expression changed.

"Junior Brother Zhou is so kind; how could I possibly let him down?"

Moreover, consuming qi and blood can indeed greatly alleviate my pain.

For at least the past two weeks, I haven't had to endure that excruciating pain.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Junior Brother Zhou." Ma Wenchun smiled.

"Sigh," Zhou Qing frowned, never expecting this divine weapon to be so sinister.

"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. My path has come to an end, Junior Brother Zhou, your path has just begun. Go." Ma Wenchun seemed to have already seen through everything. "Senior Brother Ma, take care." Zhou Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute, put away the Crimson Flame, and turned to leave.

Zhou Qing returned to the courtyard and found Xu Lin sitting under the eaves.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing appear, he stood up.

“Aqing.”

"Xu Lin, I'm planning to go back to the county town. Will you come with me?"

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

Xu Lin was taken aback upon hearing this. After a pause, he shook his head and said, "No, I want to stay at the martial arts school and wait for Master Wei and Senior Sister to return."

"Take care of yourself."

Zhou Qing didn't say much and left the martial arts school directly.

As Zhou Qing walked to the deserted entrance of the martial arts school, he looked up at the gloomy sky and felt a bit stifled.

"It is going to rain."

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards Xin'an Lane.

We can't stay in Heishan Town for the time being.

"Yo~ Ah Qing is back."

"Ah."

Back in Xin'an Lane, Zhou Qing merely nodded indifferently to her enthusiastic neighbors.

Being on good terms with him now is not a good thing.

Zhou Qing entered the courtyard, where the old woman was picking scallions.

"Grandma, pack your things, we're going to the county town."

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions. "Okay."

Apart from a few pieces of clothing, Zhou Qing put the jar containing poison from the silkworm house into the leather bag Gu.

A moment later, the old woman packed her things. Before leaving, she swept the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom, and then locked the doors of the main house and the silkworm room.

"They will come back," Zhou Qing sighed softly.

The two left Xin'an Lane and came to the main road.

They ran into a group of three: He Zhongdong, Su Ting, the chief constable of the yamen, and the young constable who had questioned the martial arts school last time.

"Senior Brother He, Chief Constable Su." Zhou Qing clasped his hands in greeting.

"Junior Brother Zhou, are you leaving?" He Zhongdong raised an eyebrow when he saw Zhou Qing carrying a bag.

"I'm planning to take Grandma to the county town," Zhou Qing told the truth, without mentioning that Ma Wenchun had asked him to leave, because he was already planning to leave anyway.

"Hmm." He Zhongdong nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Protecting oneself is indeed a wise move!" Su Ting's lips curled up in a half-smile.

The young constable standing to the side made no attempt to hide his disdain.

"Go ahead." He Zhongdong waved his hand and left.

"Farewell." Zhou Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute, helped the old woman, and walked towards the entrance of the town.

half a month later.

Ping'an County, outer urban area.

In a secluded courtyard west of Jiulianfang.

Zhou Qing stood in the middle of the courtyard, her eyes slightly closed.

His posture was upright, like a divine weapon yet to be drawn.

He had a long sword hanging at his waist, and his right hand was gripping the hilt.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open.

"bass!"

The blade flashed like a dragon, a streak of azure light streaking across the courtyard!
It was as if a peerless weapon of mass destruction had been unsheathed.

Zhou Qing exuded a sharp and domineering aura.

"boom!"

Not far to my side, a jujube tree, as thick as a person's embrace, was broken in half.

The long knife was clearly still some distance from the tree trunk.

"The combination of Azure Water True Qi and sword intent possesses such power. Moreover..."

Zhou Qing looked at the fallen jujube tree and exhaled a breath of stale air.

It was as if all the gloom of the past few days had been swept away.

[Skill: Azure Water Skill]

[Effect: Clear water without a trace, true qi transforms into silk]

[Skill: Wind Slash]

Zhou Qing raised his hand, and four dark cloud symbols appeared prominently on his right arm.

With the breakthrough in the Azure Water Technique, he actually condensed the seventh cloud of Qi and Blood.
