All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 97 Terrifying Poisonous Miasma, Only Gu Breeding Works Remain (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Just as Zhou Qing was about to concentrate on observing, as Erqing flew, a faint pink mist sprinkled down from its pair of dazzling pink wings.

Zhou Qing smelled it and found it sweet and tempting.

However, the next moment, he felt his vision go black and his body feel weak.

He immediately mobilized his internal energy and circulated it throughout his body.

Erqing dispersed the mist, and after a moment, he recovered.

"What a potent poison!"

Zhou Qing was astonished.

He possesses a body immune to all poisons!
In terms of toxin resistance, it absolutely surpasses that of a martial artist who has refined their tendons.

Whether he can rival a Bone Refining Realm martial artist is hard to say, but as the owner of Erqing, he has such a strong reaction just from smelling it.

In any case, it would be difficult for ordinary Bone Refining Realm martial artists to remain unaffected.

It should be understood that a martial artist at the Tendon Refining Realm would find it difficult to contend with a martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm.

Because breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm is the first qualitative change among the four stages of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

The gap is huge!

When a martial artist breaks through to the Bone Refining Realm, their Qi and blood power will increase several times over, which is why most poisons are ineffective against those in the Bone Refining Realm.

With a continuous flow of Qi and blood, most toxins will be eliminated by the power of Qi and blood.

Therefore, an ordinary Bone Refining Realm martial artist can truly defeat ten ordinary Tendon Refining Realm martial artists.

If the Erqing poison can affect martial artists in the Bone Refining Realm, then Zhou Qing will possess a powerful weapon that can deliver a surprising victory at crucial moments.

Zhou Qing quickly examined the inscription on the jade tablet.

[Five Poison Peach Blossom Butterfly: Tier 1 High-Grade Gu Insect. Attack Type. Breaks Limits. A mutated, fully evolved Green Silk Gu that absorbed centuries of accumulated peach blossom miasma and consumed century-old rotten peach fruit, breaking its evolution limits. It has reached the current evolutionary ceiling of its race. Requires feeding with high-quality Five Poisons or high-quality poisonous flowers.]

[Refining Requirements: None]

【Effects: Removes miasma from peach blossoms, grants immunity to all poisons, and controls insects】

"The ability to enhance qi and blood has disappeared, but a new Peach Blossom Miasma has appeared."

Zhou Qing focused his mind.

He has now broken through to the Flesh Refining Realm, and his Azure Water Technique has reached the third level, so the blood and qi enhancement effect is no longer of any use to him.

When Zhou Qing looked down and saw the effects of the peach blossom miasma, his pupils suddenly dilated.

[Refining: Five Poison Peach Blossom Butterfly (Second Green)]

[Rank: Tier 1, High Grade (Cannot be evolved, can be combined for refinement)]

[Progress: Exceeded Limit (57/800)]

【Peach Blossom Miasma: The Five Poisonous Peach Blossom Butterflies release pollen through flapping their wings, creating a miasma. This miasma contains the power of the five poisons and the toxicity of century-old rotten peach blossoms, capable of polluting the physical body, blood, and vital energy. As the master of the Five Poisonous Peach Blossom Butterflies, you can quickly adapt to the miasma and avoid its negative effects.】

"Peach Blossom Miasma! It pollutes the physical body, blood, and vital energy!"

Zhou Qing never expected that Er Qing's evolution this time would awaken such a terrifying ability.

"As expected, practicing martial arts is a dead end. I still have to raise Gu worms!"

Zhou Qing sighed.

Unfortunately, such opportunities don't come every time.

Erqing's tremendous improvement was mostly due to the peach fruit he picked from the valley of Black Wind Mountain.

"This would greatly increase our chances of winning."

On the night of the full moon, the Corpse Worm Gu King needs to absorb the power of the moonlight, which will greatly reduce Lin Tianzheng's strength. However, he is still a powerful figure capable of killing someone at the half-step Blood Exchange Realm.

The so-called strategy is to despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.

Even a 98% chance of winning is still not 100%.

Life is only once, not a game where you can start over.

At times like these, you can never be too careful.

"The Corpse Worm King needs to absorb the power of the moon as a supplement. If I interrupt it, its power will also be weakened."

As long as we can hold it off and prevent it from joining Lin Tianzheng, we'll have already succeeded more than halfway!

Zhou Qing clenched his fist.

He allowed Erqing to integrate into his body, adapting to Erqing's peach blossom miasma.

It gets dark soon.

Erqing's evolution at a crucial moment gave Zhou Qing more confidence.

My originally worried heart was relieved.

As he adjusted to the miasma emanating from the peach blossoms, he slowly drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already 13:00 PM.

"almost."

Zhou Qing changed into his uniform, packed his spare weapon in a long, narrow wooden box, wrapped it in cloth, and carried it on his back. Then he headed straight for the Demon Suppression Division branch in the inner city.

After entering, head to the side hall on the third floor where Yao Xuewei usually rests.

Yao Xuewei was not inside.

Of course, this was agreed upon.

He stayed inside for a while, then came out again and closed the doors and windows.

He then went downstairs, pretending to have received a mission, hurriedly left the gate, mounted a fine horse, and rode out of the city.

He rode all the way to the wilderness north of the city, dismounted, and entered the forest.

At this moment, a woman wearing a straw hat and a moon-white fitted robe sat on a branch of a large tree, her long legs swinging gently.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing appear, the woman leaped down.

She took off her straw hat, revealing her bare face. Although she couldn't be described as a stunning beauty, her skin was as white as snow and her features were delicate, which surprised Zhou Qing.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yao Xuewei raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhou Qing's strange gaze.

"It's nothing," Zhou Qing shook his head.

Yao Xuewei usually draws her eyebrows slanted upwards into her temples, and when she wears a black uniform, she looks refreshing, capable, and full of heroic spirit. In reality, when she doesn't wear makeup, she has a pair of slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and with a white robe, her whole temperament instantly changes from heroic and vigorous to gentle and tender.

Zhou Qing didn't look closely.

Her chest, which was originally quite flat, seemed to have swelled up considerably.

Did they hide a concealed weapon?
"My lord, there seems to be a bloody battle today. Why are you dressed in white?" Zhou Qing changed the subject and shifted the focus.

"I need to dress completely differently from my usual style so that I won't be recognized by acquaintances."

Yao Xuewei smiled faintly.

“That makes sense.” Zhou Qing felt it was reasonable; the contrast was exactly what she wanted.

"Let's set off. As planned, I sent the Fu brothers to Liu Village four days ago."

Yao Xuewei nodded gently.

"Yes!" Zhou Qing didn't waste any more words and walked out of the forest.

"Wait a minute," Yao Xuewei called out to him.

"Are you sure you can subdue the two Fu brothers by yourself? They are both at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, and they work together very well."

According to the plan, Yao Xuewei first ordered the Fu brothers to go to Liujia Village to carry out their mission.

Then, Zhou Qing, under the pretext of receiving orders, went into the mountains with the two men, and then unexpectedly subdued them, making them lead the way to find Lin Tianzheng.

This way, the two of them will think that Zhou Qing is alone, and they will definitely take him to Lin Tianzheng's hiding place so that Lin Tianzheng can deal with him.

Yao Xuewei followed at a distance, led by the golden silkworm gu worm.

Once we find Lin Tianzheng, we'll launch a surprise attack with lightning speed.

That would increase the chances of winning.

This plan was proposed by Zhou Qing.

However, Yao Xuewei was concerned that while Zhou Qing might be able to defeat the Fu brothers, he might not be able to finish the battle quickly.

If the process drags on, or if Zhou Qing gets injured, it could easily lead to unforeseen complications.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing confidently replied, "Don't worry, if I didn't have the ability, what qualifications would I have to cooperate with you, sir?! Besides, a battle might not even break out."

"Your confident demeanor is just like Hongyu's."

Yao Xuewei chuckled softly.

"Are you acquainted with my senior sister, sir?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but be curious upon hearing her address.

"We traveled together to the Qilian Mountains a few years ago, so we have some acquaintance." Yao Xuewei's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Why are you calling me so affectionately? Is it just because you have some kind of relationship?
Zhou Qing's lips moved slightly. If only she had known, she wouldn't have hesitated and tested him so much.

With this relationship in place, unless their personal interests are involved, the two have no chance of conflict.

Seeing Zhou Qing hesitate, Yao Xuewei asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you say so sooner, sir?"

Zhou Qing spoke up.

“You didn’t ask.” Yao Xuewei said seriously.

Zhou Qing's temple twitched, and he fell silent. This was quite reasonable.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

Yao Xuewei's eyes sharpened.

“Alright.” Zhou Qing’s expression was solemn. He took the lead out of the woods and immediately mounted his horse.

Once he disappeared from sight, Yao Xuewei rode the specially bought dappled horse towards Huanglong Mountain.
