Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

Chapter 135: Chapter 106: The Chapter of Fairyland – As if Old Friends Have Arrived, Gathering of Heroes
 

He didn’t even get a clear look at the carriage’s appearance when both of them suddenly felt weightless and found themselves falling out of the void, landing in a wide river.

Crawling out of the icy water and looking around, they saw a world of ice and snow.

Swimming to the shore, Chen Qing looked at the Void Flower in his left hand. Each petal was thick and lush, full of intense spiritual energy, with spiritual energy around it even condensing into mist.

It seemed quite delicious.

After contracting with the Snake Gu, Chen Qing had an unusual feeling, wanting to see if he could eat whatever he saw.

Xuanping leaped out of the river, coming to Chen Qing’s side, “What was that mysterious carriage from earlier?”

Chen Qing shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Xuanping asked again, “Then why did it give you a flower?”

Chen Qing shook his head again, “I don’t know.”

Holding the Void Flower in his hand, Chen Qing couldn’t help but think to himself, could it be that I am truly the Child of Void?

Otherwise, why give me a flower?

It can’t be because it has a crush on me, right?

Forget it, since it dared to give it to me, I dare to eat it.

Given the owner of that carriage’s cultivation level, capturing him would be easy. Since the other party didn’t seize him and instead gifted a flower, it indicated they were showing goodwill.

Recalling how he helped Fu Luo’s Light Butterflies achieve Harmonization, Chen Qing became more convinced that he belonged to the void side.

He couldn’t say for sure if he was the Child of Void, but at least he could ascertain that the people of the void were on his side.

It seemed unlikely they would harm him but rather expected him to grow.

Only then could he continue living and continue to give Cultivators of the void side the opportunity to advance Gu.

Why be so mysterious? Why not just bring me over to become a Void Lord directly?

It would save him from the daily struggle of making money and cultivating.

Xuanping also said, “Perhaps it’s just a gift from a chance meeting. With that person’s strength, leaving us behind would be a breeze. Don’t overthink it.”

Looking back, he saw the beautiful woman who just emerged from the water. Her clothes were drenched, adding a hazy beauty to her presence. The white attire, now slightly transparent, revealed Xuanping’s tender skin beneath.

Xuanping was slightly annoyed, “What’s with the staring, haven’t you seen a beauty come out of the water?”

Chen Qing shook his head, watching a bit longer, “I truly haven’t.”

“I’m eating this Void Flower to see if I can break through to the Qi Refining Realm… Perfected!”

“You keep an eye out for me.”

Xuanping nodded. The two of them found a secluded forest, and Chen Qing sat cross-legged, preparing to consume the Void Flower.

As he just picked it up, he thought again, What if there’s a problem with this flower?

He hesitated for a while and sighed, “Forget it, let’s find a place and sell this Void Flower. Exchange it for other Spiritual Medicines, it’s the same.”

“I’m still uneasy about eating it.”

Xuanping responded to this, “That’s reasonable. Let’s look for nearby towns to see if there’s a Yibao Building. Only they can handle such treasures.”

Arriving at Hidden Dragon City, Chen Qing asked, “Are we really safe to walk in just like this?”

Xuanping said, “There are many Jiguang Sects coming northward. No one should dare act recklessly against us.”

“Moreover, this place belongs to the dragon tribe, not the northern old wolves. What’s there to fear?”

Entering Hidden Dragon City, they walked the streets, and not many people cast odd looks at them. It seemed Xuanping was right. With the abundance of Jiguang Sects heading north, not many paid attention.

Moreover, since they were two traveling together, those in the Foundation Establishment wouldn’t easily dare provoke two from Jiguang Sect.

They found Yibao Building, and with ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, Chen Qing exchanged for a snow lotus of similar potency and spirituality, then found a place to stay, preparing to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

And at the same time, a thousand miles away.

A sixteen-year-old boy, wearing tattered prison clothes and with a vacant gaze, strode through the snow. Each step spanned dozens of feet, crossing the wind and snow, heading toward the North Sea.

His injuries healed swiftly, stepping forward still covered in scars, but upon the next step, he was good as new.

Ethereal fairy sounds whispered in his ears, “You are… Kun… Lun Sword… Immortal True Yang… Reincarnated…”

“So your body… can summon… Ten Thousand Swords… Return to the body…”

“Now awake… You should return…”

“To the fairy… Homeland… Restore… The fairy… Body…”

The boy’s body had no cultivation, yet as he walked, a sword Gu flew to him, merging within him, autonomously contracting to become his sword Gu.

A clearer light emerged in his previously dazed eyes, “I am True Yang!”

“I am the reincarnated True Immortal!”

As he stepped forward, Sword Qi emitted and landed beneath his feet, allowing him to effortlessly traverse dozens of feet.

“I will return to my fairy homeland and restore my immortal body!”

In the distance, a middle-aged man in a Yin Yang Fish Daoist Robe continued reciting, “True Spirit is awake, soul return.”

His voice carried on the wind far away and entered the youth’s ears.

“Go, cross the North Sea, restore your immortal body!”

“Follow your sword’s guidance, obey the sword’s direction, return to the fairy homeland!”

Watching the youth stepping into the North Sea, riding on Sword Qi, the middle-aged man ceased his chanting and softly said, “The abnormal one has entered the game. I must return to report to the master.”

As he finished, he vanished instantly, leaving behind only endless wind and snow.

The cold wind howled, snowflakes whirled about.

Chen Qing sat by the hearth, fully focused on breaking through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

The snow lotus’s medicinal power was strong, not weaker than the Void Flower. At this moment, his whole body was surging with medicinal energy, continuously charging at the bottleneck, driving the spiritual energy like a stream within him to keep on breaking through.
