Chapter 121 Good News (Second Update)
Zhou Qing absorbed the Corpse Insect Gu King into the Wood King Cauldron and headed to the Peach Blossom Forest in the northwest of Black Wind Mountain.
Since the people of the Wushen Cult moved, the peach blossom forest and the valley have become vacant.
Countless peach blossoms can be sucked by Erqing.
Now this place has become Erqing’s home.
Unless Zhou Qing takes the initiative to summon him, Er Qing will basically not leave here.
"Puff!"
Sensing Zhou Qing's arrival in the peach blossom forest, Er Qing flew down from the huge peach tree at the entrance of the valley.
"Are you getting older?"
Zhou Qing stretched out his finger to let Er Qing stop. Looking closely, he noticed that Er Qing seemed to have gained weight, and the pink flower pattern on his wings had also become much darker.
[Refining: Five Poison Peach Blossom Butterfly (Er Green)]
[Grade: First-grade top grade (cannot evolve, can be refined)]
[Progress: Breaking the limit (189/800)]
"The growth progress has increased so much!" Zhou Qing looked at the attributes on the jade tablet and found that in just one month, Er Qing's growth progress had increased by more than a hundred points.
I thought Erqing couldn't eat a second Baidu Yin Peach, and his growth would be very slow.
Unexpectedly, it stayed in the peach blossom forest, and its growth progress was even much faster than before.
In less than half a year, Erqing will be able to reach its upper limit.
"It's a pity that we still don't have a clue as to how to combine them."
Zhou Qing felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, Erqing has made rapid progress and is playing a great role at this stage.
Worryingly, Shi Erqing's racial limit was only the first level of top grade.
Thinking about going one step further, it can't be accomplished by eating alone.
Erqing, as his first Gu insect, has special significance.
One person and one insect supported me all the way through the most difficult time.
And among the many Gu insects under Zhou Qing, Er Qing has the highest intelligence.
In terms of loyalty, he can rival a tiger or an eagle.
It would be a pity if our growth stopped here.
"We can only do it step by step."
Zhou Qing pondered in his heart. Anyway, as his own strength improved step by step, there would always be a way to solve it.
When you are strong enough, you can also go to the Qilian Mountains in the county to find the Wuxi barbarians, who have the inheritance of Gu masters there.
After playing with Er Qing in the peach blossom forest, Zhou Qing came to the entrance of the valley.
In addition to cultivating refined corpses, the environment here is also suitable for cultivating Gu.
It's already April, and the temperature in the mountains at night is still relatively low, but for people like Zhou Qing who have internal strength and cultivation, they are not afraid of the cold.
However, as soon as you enter the valley area, you can clearly see that the body temperature drops sharply.
Although there is no thermometer, it feels like going from late autumn to the twelfth lunar month of winter.
This should be what the Witch God Sect calls evil spirit.
In fact, both Corpse Insect Gu King and Chi Yan liked this place better, but Zhou Qing did not let them go.
The main reason for not letting go of the corpse insect Gu King is that it would lose control and escape.
The reason why he didn't release Chiyan was because Zhou Qing was not sure whether the people from the Wushen Cult would leave and come back.
If he was raising Gu in the valley and half of the people from the Witch God Sect came back and killed all the Gu he had worked so hard to cultivate, he would be dead.
As for Erqing, it has the ability to fly, which is naturally a different matter.
"Just wait a little longer."
Zhou Qing turned around and left.
The next day.
Zhou Qing got up early and practiced in the yard.
Thump thump thump!
A rush of footsteps came from the corridor, and He Zhongdong hurried over with an excited look.
"Junior Brother Zhou! Good news!"
Entering the courtyard, He Zhongdong took three steps and then two steps before arriving in front of Zhou Qing.
Since the death of his third senior brother Ma Wenchun, Zhou Qing has been staying in the martial arts gym. He Zhongdong has also changed his view of him greatly, and the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot.
"Senior Brother He, I wonder what the good news is?" Zhou Qing said with a smile.
"The county has responded to the letter! Read it yourself!"
He Zhongdong took out an opened letter from his arms.
Zhou Qing took the envelope and pulled out the letter.
Wei Sheng stated in the letter that his injury would not recover in a short time and he would temporarily stay in the county to recuperate.
As for Wei Hongyu, it is estimated that it will take half a year to come back.
However, he has already written to Xiao Kang, asking him to take care of Baiyun Martial Arts School on his behalf.
And after a while, Wei Sheng will ask his second son Wei Mingcheng, who has reached the bone refining realm, to return to Black Mountain Town with the magic weapon.
As a result, although Baiyun Martial Arts School cannot regain its former prosperity, it will not be as decadent and almost bankrupt as it is now.
The letter repeatedly mentioned Ma Wenchun.
It can be seen that Wei Sheng was extremely sad and angry about Ma Wenchun's death.
At the last moment, he asked Zhou Qing and He Zhongdong to endure temporarily.
When he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely let the Witch God Sect pay for his blood debt.
"Finally there is good news!"
After reading the letter, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put the letter back into the envelope, and returned it to He Zhongdong.
"In this way, the martial arts gym can reopen!"
He Zhongdong also had a smile on his face.
Something happened at the Baiyun Martial Arts School. The family in the county asked him to go back, but he didn't want to. The He family had already cut off his regular money.
When the martial arts gym was operating normally, they were paid to teach apprentices for their masters, and they could also obtain some rare resources from the martial arts gym.
You must know that those children from rich families pay more than one hundred taels in tuition alone a year.
Without this stable income, He Zhongdong's life would be difficult.
Although he is a muscle-training martial artist, whether in the town or in the county, there are forces asking him to bear the name of worship, and he is given a regular amount of money every month.
But how can this amount of money be enough for a muscle-refining warrior's daily training needs.
"It's indeed okay now." Zhou Qing nodded.
A few days ago, He Zhongdong expressed his intention to reopen the martial arts gym and bring back all the apprentices, but Zhou Qing vetoed it.
Because the people from the Wushen Cult are gone, but Mu Yuan may come back at any time.
For Zhou Qing, stability is the priority in everything.
However, He Zhongdong was much older than him, so it was understandable that he was eager to complete Yijin and wanted to enter the bone refining realm as soon as possible.
"Then one month later." He Zhongdong said seriously.
"Two months," Zhou Qing muttered. Wei Sheng's letter mentioned that Wei Mingcheng would probably be back within two months.
"One and a half months at most!" He Zhongdong's attitude was relatively firm.
"Okay!" Zhou Qing agreed immediately. He said two months, mainly to let He Zhongdong bargain.
"." Seeing Zhou Qing agreeing so simply, He Zhongdong's forehead muscles twitched, his lips moved, and he stopped talking.
"." Zhou Qing didn't speak either.
"Then it's settled!" He Zhongdong gritted his teeth.
If it were before, he would not pay attention to Zhou Qing's opinion at all.
But Zhou Qing had previously demonstrated his exaggerated understanding far beyond ordinary people, and Ma Wenchun had given instructions before his death, so He Zhongdong now completely regarded Zhou Qing as an equal muscle-training warrior.
"Thank you, Senior Brother He." Zhou Qing smiled and clasped his fists.
The time of cultivation is always so simple and boring.
But for Zhou Qing, it’s more about fulfillment and the sense of security that comes from feeling one’s own continuous progress.
In less than ten days, hundreds of golden silkworm Gu worms hatched out.
The newly hatched Golden Silkworm Gu is only as big as a fingernail, and the carapace on its body has not grown yet. It is soft, and its body is pale white gold.
However, with the ability of the Wood King Cauldron to attract insects, the golden silkworm Gu insects are also growing rapidly under the continuous feeding of poisonous insects.
That night, Zhou Qing was attracting insects in the area near Yufeng Mountain, when Er Qing's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
[Someone has come to the valley, it’s Mu Yuan. 】
"Mu Yuan?!"
Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly and he quickly put away the Wooden King Cauldron.
"Er Qing, please stay hidden."
Zhou Qing immediately gave orders to Er Qing, and at the same time contacted Hu Ying to get him closer to the valley.
The tiger eagle that was sleeping in the canopy of the mountaintop flapped its wings and flew towards the valley below.
Above the valley, when the thick peach blossom miasma encounters the tiger eagle, it automatically opens a channel for them to pass.
Soon, the tiger eagle appeared in the peach blossom forest.
Through the ability of audio-visual sharing, Zhou Qing saw Mu Yuan's figure.
He sneaked into the valley and buried something in the valley.
Just as Zhou Qing was about to take a closer look, several scarlet sword lights like full moons shot up into the sky.
"Bah!"
The tiger eagle was frightened and flapped its wings quickly, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Damn it!" Mu Yuan scowled, catching the Sky Centipede knife that fell again, and glanced bitterly at the eagle that flew away quickly.
At this time, Zhou Qing on the other side fell into deep thought.
If we take action at this moment
Can Mu Yuan be kept?
