Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

"Um?"

This news was truly unexpected for Gu Qing.

Master Chen, who was transmitting the teachings, didn't mention it at all.

And Li Fu actually told his parents about this?

What does this mean?

"Mother, did you give a gift to Master Li today?" Gu Qing suddenly realized something.

Mother Gu stammered, "Your father... um... sent it yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder the other party didn't refuse the dried meat he sent today; it seems it wasn't just because he chose the unorthodox path.

"How much was given away?"

Gu Qing pressed for an answer.

Mother Gu shook her head, unwilling to say more.

"Don't ask anymore. Your father said he absolutely cannot tell you... Just focus on your cultivation and strive to shine in the assessment a year from now. That's your opportunity, and it's our family's opportunity too. Don't miss it!"

Seeing that Gu's mother was unwilling to talk about it, Gu Qing had no choice but to give up.

That's it.

Knowing more or less doesn't really matter.

He can repay it later.

With the daily evaluation panel available, he's not far from becoming a true cultivator, and paying off his debts shouldn't be too difficult then.

"Don't worry, I will definitely seize this opportunity." Gu Qing said this not only to her mother, but also to herself.

He didn't want to actually be a Taoist novice for five years.

However, neither Li Fu nor Chen Ye discussed this matter openly, suggesting that the matter is probably not so simple.

Based on the situation on Blue Star, it's highly likely that they have connections.

If Li Funeng tells his parents, then the other Taoist priests will tell others.

There must be quite a few who want to take this opportunity to shed their status as a Taoist novice.

"Eat quickly, and Mom will bring you more in a few days."

Mother Gu handed over the food box.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing finished off a pound of Cold Mountain Venerable Meat in just a few bites.

"Cultivate yourself well, and never end up like us, stuck in the mountains your whole life." After saying this, Gu's mother turned and left.

Watching Gu's mother's departing figure.

Gu Qing thought of her parents from her previous life.

I probably felt the same way when I saw him off on his way to work in the city from the roadside.

……

I put my thoughts aside.

For the first time, Gu Qing felt a longing for Earth.

pity.

He has traveled to another world.

They have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

Past events are ultimately fleeting memories.

……

into the night.

Gu Qing carried the coffin out of the mortuary as always.

However, while carrying the coffin, he was also controlling the corpse-eating worms to continuously dig holes between the tombs.

This evening, he had already sensed the area outside the tomb using the Corpse-Eating Insects. Several cultivators from the Wufeng Temple had appeared outside the tomb, but he hadn't detected any Corpse-Eating Insects. Clearly, the Corpse-Eating Insects' ability to conceal themselves was not just empty talk.

Therefore, Gu Qing directly controlled the corpse-eating worms to dig a secret passage between the two tombs.

Through the secret passage, the corpse-eating worms can directly enter new tombs and new coffins, using the corpses inside as food.

It only needs to eat one corpse a day to transform into an worm in three days.

Once the corpse-eating worm transforms into an adult, he can use the insect-controlling techniques from the Subduing and Controlling Insects Mystic Art to kill it.

However, the specifics of how to control the insects depend on how the Corpse-Eating Insects behave after they transform into adults.

As far as Gu Qing is concerned, what he wants is a more powerful means of concealment, so that he can do whatever he wants under the tomb.

These hundreds of tombs were turned into food for insects.

They'll eat and run away, and even if the Taoist priests of Wufeng Temple find out, they won't be able to do anything about it, let alone trace it back to him.

soon.

The crowd carried the coffin to the tomb.

Li Fu arrived shortly after.

"Get to work! You won't move unless you're urged, will you? Seven coffins today. If you don't finish burying them before dawn, you won't be eating tomorrow!" Li Fu scolded coldly, then lay back on his recliner and leisurely started reading a book.

Upon hearing this, everyone wore bitter expressions.

However, there was more helplessness towards the arduous task of burying corpses.

Now that they have obtained the method, they are eager to cultivate, but they have to work every night until dawn.

I have to sleep during the day.

There was simply no time to cultivate.

Even though he possessed the magic, he had no time to cultivate it.

At this rate, when will we ever get any results?

Despite their reluctance, everyone could only hurry up and get to work.

"All the time can only be spent working. If you want to get started with the method, you'll just have to wait and see."

"yes."

The two of them couldn't help but lower their voices and sigh.

They were met with a flick of the finger, which sent one of them crashing into the coffin, causing him to bleed profusely from his head.

"If it were that easy to learn the law, would it be your turn?" Li Fu sneered.

Everyone fell silent, trembling with fear, and hurriedly got to work.

Gu Qing took in all of this and became even more determined to break free from his identity as a Daoist disciple. However, just as he was about to get to work, he heard Li Fu calling him.

"Gu Qing."

Gu Qing strode up to Li Fu and took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the small table next to him and pour tea for Li Fu.

"Master Li, please have some tea."

Li Fu nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip. Before he could speak, Gu Qing's hand was already massaging his shoulders.

This scene left the young Taoist disciples stunned.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Li Fu's face, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a bit more admiration for him.

Why didn't they think of that?

"Did you eat the flesh of Cold Mountain Venerable?"

Li Fu suddenly asked a question.

"The kindness of my parents is something I can never repay in this lifetime." Gu Qing did not answer directly, but explained where he came from and also told Li Fu that he was a person who knew how to repay kindness.

Li Fu smiled with satisfaction, but did not continue on this topic. He changed the subject and said, "This little bit of stuff is not enough."

"Please enlighten me, Taoist Master."

"I wouldn't call it giving pointers, but I can tell you some truths so you can give up on that idea."

Upon hearing this...

Gu Qing frowned slightly.

"There are two servants in the outhouse and one in the kitchen. Their parents are both miscellaneous practitioners who help Master Chen manage the businesses in Changping County. Last time during the festival, they sent gifts by horse-drawn carriage. Moreover, those three have been practicing for many years."

Chen Li didn't explain it too clearly, so as to avoid others knowing about the assessment.

Gu Qing, who was standing to the side, felt a sinking feeling in her heart upon hearing this.

Three spots available.

Chen Ye actually wanted to monopolize the market directly.

It's so dark.

However, Gu Qing was not discouraged, after all, he had a cheat code.

The only problem is whether Chen Ye will tamper with things and not give him the chance at all.

and many more.

Why did Li Fu suddenly tell him this?

Just out of pure kindness?

Or is it that you are dissatisfied?

After all, Chen Ye wanted to eat it all by himself.

Seeing that Gu Qing didn't react, Li Fu asked with interest, "Are you scared, kid?"

"I know I should repay kindness, and those who block my way shall die," Gu Qing said resolutely.

Upon hearing this, Li Fu's face showed even more appreciation. He said, "Interesting, quite a clever lad... Go bury the coffin first, and I'll give you some pointers another day. As for how far you can go, that depends on your own fate."

Gu Qing was delighted upon hearing this.

really.

Li Fu was very dissatisfied with Chen Ye's actions.

According to Li Fu's previous words, Chen Ye was a protector of Wufeng Temple, and his status was not low.

Li Fu's intention to snatch food from the tiger's mouth clearly indicates that he has a powerful background.

However, Li Fu was clearly not someone who could be completely trusted. If he couldn't demonstrate sufficient ability or value, Li Fu certainly wouldn't go to war with Chen Ye for his sake.

"No matter what, as long as you have connections, that's fine."

Gu Qing thought to himself.
