Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 343 - 209 Hu Yao Always Appears When You Need Her
Chapter 343 -209 Hu Yao Always Appears When You Need Her
The smoke drifted, with the color of white bones.
Chen Qing sat atop a pile of bones and began to carefully read the intelligence briefing that Su Yi had sent over.
The Immortal Gourd’s master was Xiao, the Thunder Sword wielder Shen Changye, the Crown Prince Xinglong, Zhou Li who bore the Nine Dragon Map, and the walker from Bulao Mountain, Daoist Shasheng. There was also Cao Guanxiu from the Wugen Sect.
Cao Guanxiu could be ignored for now.
Xiao had already been encountered.
Shen Changye was an aloof yet suspicious person, not one easily dealt with.
The Crown Prince Xinglong possessed an air of nobility, was straightforward, yet paid attention to details and was considerate of his subordinates.
Zhou Li was arrogant and self-centered, strong but stubbornly self-willed.
Daoist Shasheng was the eldest among them, rumored to be over two hundred years old, an old-timer who left no loose ends.
From the intelligence, the best breakthrough point should be Zhou Li.
Chen Qing pointed his finger at Zhou Li’s name, “No matter how you look at it, Zhou Li seems to be the breakthrough Ji Dang intended for me.”
Lu Shenglong said, “That shouldn’t be the case, this is merely Zhou Li’s nature. Surely Ji Dang couldn’t have planned everything so precisely?”
Chen Qing recalled everything arranged by the Sword Travel Palace, realizing everything was due to him, everything was his decision.
“The world is not short of those who can calculate another’s death.”
“Thus, we can only use cunning plans.”
Chen Qing picked up a Merit Token and examined it for a moment, “So our first step is to raise my cultivation to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm.”
“How many people can the collected Merit Tokens elevate to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm?”
Lu Shenglong replied, “There are not many in the city, only a mere three thousand pieces, Shang Tong must have taken quite a few with him.”
Chen Qing said, “I’ll first estimate how much merit is needed to cultivate to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm.”
Lu Shenglong inquired, “Where should we go now?”
Chen Qing said, “First head toward the city guarded by Shen Changye, then change direction to Zhou Li’s city.”
Lu Shenglong was a bit puzzled, “Didn’t Lord Wen say Zhou Li seemed too much like a bait?”
Chen Qing said, “Between truth and lies, let’s play along with Ji Dang for now.”

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the Green Bull, reaching for the jade-like Merit Token.
Though called a Merit Token, it was just a jade slice resembling a thin plaque.
It actually seemed more like a shard of bone.
There were also blood-colored, beige, and golden Merit Tokens.
However, a large number of the Merit Tokens scoured from Chaotian City were blood-colored.
The Ghost Face Realm was the extreme of the physical body, once surpassed, cultivation continued without only strengthening the body.
To a certain extent, it meant the body reached its limit in the Ghost Face Realm.
Because it involved strengthening the body, it was divided into the Four Realms: Meat, Bone, Blood, and Acupoint.
Training in the Meat, Bone, Blood Three Realms could occur in any order or even simultaneously.
These three realms were referred to as Blood Exchange, Bone Sacrifice, and Spirit Muscle.
Finally, the Sensing Realm could be cultivated.
Strengthening the organs, the torso, and the seven orifices.
Due to the different Lifebound Gu of the self, the methods of cultivation differed, possibly leading to various supernatural powers.
For instance, Thousand-mile Eye, Sharp-Hearing Ear, Ancient Saint Bone, Ghost God Body, Nine Nether Divine Blood, and so on.
Acquiring Merit Tokens wasn’t hard, but transporting souls to the White Bone River or Death Sea was required.
The task wasn’t difficult; it was just that too many needed merit, causing the contention in the Death Realm.
Chen Qing picked up a bone-like Merit Token, murmured softly atop the Green Bull’s back, “Fisherman, is that you?”
“If one day I control the Death Realm, I must explore the Death Sea.”
He grasped the white Merit Token, and before even starting to absorb, felt the butterfly in his chest begin to flutter wildly.
Chen Qing promptly pressed the white Merit Token against his chest, and in a moment, it dissolved and merged into his body.
Chen Qing distinctly felt his bones become more formidable.
Though the change was subtle, with his Divine Soul strength, he could clearly perceive it.
Chen Qing immediately pressed a handful of white Merit Tokens against his chest again, and when he looked at the Lifebound Gu in his chest, he found a new line of words.
[“In the Sensing Stage of the Ghost Face Realm, one can cultivate the supernatural powers ‘Azure Darkness Eyes,’ ‘Devouring Mouth,’ ‘Heaven and Earth Chakra,’ ‘All Things Return to Breath Breathing Method.'”]
Was this the uniqueness brought by the Emperor Earth?
Chen Qing picked up a Merit Token and tossed it to Lu Shenglong, “Try refining it and see.”
Lu Shenglong rode over on the dragon horse, quickly refined the Merit Token, and Chen Qing said again, “Let me see your Lifebound Gu.”
If anyone else had made this request, Lu Shenglong might have killed their entire family, but with Chen Qing, Lu Shenglong immediately took out his Lifebound Gu.
It was a Dragon Elephant Gu.
Fully armored, about the size of a finger.
Chen Qing visibly noted that after Lu Shenglong refined the Merit Token, the Dragon Elephant Gu displayed a new piece of information.
[“In the Ghost Face Realm, one can cultivate the supernatural power ‘Dragon Elephant Spine.'”]
Chen Qing nodded, “Keep it away.”
He began to contemplate, as his Lifebound Gu originally came from the Death Realm, and being a King Gu, it symbolized authority.
Being able to cultivate four extremely powerful supernatural abilities seemed normal.
But for Lu Shenglong, it was different, his Lifebound was merely a spirit Gu.
Thus, even if some supernatural power could be cultivated in the Bone Sacrifice Stage, it wouldn’t be top-tier like the Ancient Saint Bone, just an ordinary supernatural power like Dragon Elephant Spine.
Chen Qing then summoned a rare Dragon Cavalry soldier who had Foundation Establishment through Mortal Gu, threw him a Merit Token, and said, “After absorbing it, let me see your Lifebound Gu.”
