Chapter 176 The Legend of Black Mountain Town

Skyfire Centipede? !

Second-order low-grade? !

Looking at the text that appeared in his sight, Zhou Qing's eyes widened, surprised and delighted.

It’s true that if you plant flowers intentionally, it’s hard to bloom, but if you don’t plant willows, they will create shade.

He worked hard to refine the second-level Ice Evil Gu. Unexpectedly, after absorbing Xiao Kang's essence and blood, Chiyan directly broke through the upper limit of race and was promoted to the second-level Gu.

Although it is only the second-level low-grade, it is also a real second-level combat power.

Zhou Qing released the red flame from the storage space. At this moment, the red flame had turned into a red stone the size of a fist. It was warm to the touch and rounded in appearance, with no abnormalities visible.

But holding it in his hand, Zhou Qing could feel a sense of closeness.

At this time, more words appeared in Zhou Qing's sight.

[Sky Fire Centipede (not hatched): Evolves from a mutated golden-backed centipede into a corpse poison centipede. It absorbs all kinds of yin and cold poisons. The power of yin and cold in the body reaches the upper limit. Finally, it is refined into yang and yang by refining the essence, blood and true essence. Yuan, completing the limit-breaking evolution of cathode generating yang. 】

[1. It needs to be placed in an extremely hot place, and after eighty-eight sixty-four days, it can absorb the power of the Yang to complete incubation. This method is best used in places where fire is evil. During the incubation period, the Skyfire Centipede eggs need to be replenished with the essence, blood or true energy of Zhiyang Zhigang from time to time, otherwise they will be innately deficient and unable to evolve after hatching. 】

[2. Protect the Skyfire Centipede eggs with fire-attributed spiritual objects and soak them in magma. After sixty-six and thirty-six days, the eggs will be hatched. This method has high requirements for fire-attributed spiritual objects, otherwise the magma may burn the Skyfire Centipede eggs. 】

"The land of fire. Soaked in magma"

Zhou Qing looked at the method of hatching the Skyfire Centipede and fell into deep thought.

There is a ready-made place for fire evil in Huanglong Mountain, which also happens to be a volcano.

However, the Fire Spirit Corpse was hidden there. After Zhou Qing captured the Wood Spirit Corpse, he wanted to come to the Witch God Church to guard it.

Among the Wushen Cult, there may not be many Qi-Blood Furnace Realm masters who have exchanged blood for more than nine times, but there are definitely a few Qi-blood Long Dragon Realm masters who have exchanged blood for more than six times.

Although Zhou Qing refined the Ice Demon Gu, he was not so big that he thought he could go head-to-head with the Witch God Cult.

Among the four realms of blood exchange, the gap gets bigger as you go up. The Ice Demon Gu may be able to suppress most masters in the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke Realm, but it may not be able to cope with the strong ones in the Qi-blood Dragon Realm.

"You can definitely buy fire-attributed spiritual objects in the county town. As for volcanoes, you may not be able to find them either."

Zhou Qing pondered in his heart and decided not to go against the Witch God Cult for the time being.

Nanli County is adjacent to Tianzhu Mountain and Qilian Mountains to the east, and has far richer resources than the small Pingan County.

Moreover, the Wuxi Barbarians should have a lot of Gu refining resources. If they can successfully enter the Ice Spirit Tribe, they may be able to use the Ice Spirit Tribe to find more Gu refining materials.

Things that can be solved with money and connections may not necessarily require shouting and killing.

When he makes a big breakthrough in martial arts and Gu Dao, he might be able to think about reaching the Fire Spirit Corpse again.

Zhou Qing took the red stone transformed by Chi Yan into his hand, played with it, and then put it away.

The night passed quickly.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Qing got up early and came to the gate of Baiyun Martial Arts School.

At this time, there was already a long queue at the door.

The departure of Zhou Qing, Wei Hongyu, and Wei Mingcheng means that the Baiyun Martial Arts Gym in Black Mountain Town has officially closed.

A martial arts gym without a Bone Refining Realm martial artist cannot get help from the other five martial arts gyms.

Therefore, the apprentices of the martial arts school can either go to the Baiyun Martial Arts School in Ping'an County to continue their training under Wei Hongyu's recommendation, or they can choose to follow the convoy to Nanli County.

Of course, there are also some locals who feel that they are easily excluded if they go to the Baiyun Martial Arts School in Ping'an County. And he was unwilling to leave his hometown and trek thousands of miles to enter Nanli County, fearing that he was not qualified enough to even make a living.

For these people, Wei Hongyu will refund part of their tuition fees and subsidize some money as compensation for severance.

Anyway, it only costs a few hundred taels of silver, which is just a drop in the bucket for high-level warriors, but for apprentices from poor backgrounds, one tael of silver is enough to make them grateful.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Zhou."

"Senior Brother Zhou, take care, see you later."

When Zhou Qing arrived at the gate of the martial arts gym, the apprentices who had followed him away were helping to carry their luggage. As for those apprentices who chose to stay in the town, they also came outside the martial arts gym early to see them off.

It wasn't until daybreak that everything was packed away.

Zhou Qing then returned to the backyard, called his grandmother to leave, and helped her onto the carriage.

"Set off!"

After grandma got into the carriage, Zhou Qing drove the carriage and waved his whip to clear the way.

The carriage behind him followed him, walking slowly on the main road in the middle of the town, heading south of the city.

Along the way, there were many people standing on both sides of the road watching the excitement.

After all, the relocation of a martial arts gym to Nanli County has been the top priority of Heishan Town in recent years.

People on both sides looked at the handsomely dressed young man driving in front, and many people's eyes couldn't help but be filled with envy.

"Sometimes when I look at Ah Qing, I always feel a little unreal."

"Yes, in just a few years, a poor sericulture farmer who couldn't even have enough to eat has transformed into a martial arts master!"

"Just the year before last, he went to my house to borrow rice!"

"Then you won't let Ah Qing take you to the county town? If not, I can just take your son away!"

"That's right! Haven't you seen that old washerwoman? I just gave Ah Qing a few steamed buns, and he took her home to support her. Look at the silk and satin she's wearing. We brothers can't afford it even if we don't eat or drink for three years!"

"Oh, it's all my wife's fault! When Ah Qing's parents were still alive, they gave us some bacon during festivals. Later, when Ah Qing came to my house to borrow rice, my wife said a lot of unpleasant things and wouldn't let me lend a single grain of rice."

"An unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations! Ah Qing is already very good. She didn't forget us before she left. Every family He sent a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil. Being able to do what Ah Qing did is already beyond reproach. "

"When he came to my house to borrow rice, I was also confused for a moment! Why couldn't I give up that half a liter of brown rice! Can he become an immortal after eating it?"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have sold my body to lend him a few pounds of pork! It's a pity that I don't have a son, otherwise I would have followed Ah Qing to the county town to make a living for a few years, and maybe I could become a rich man when I come back."

When the caravan passed Xin'an Lane, the neighbors pointed at Zhou Qing in front of the caravan and showed off to the people around them - 'Look! That's Ah Qing from our Xin'an Lane! Master Wushi!'

Many people regretted not helping Zhou Qing when he was in trouble.

Obviously, Zhou Qing's family received a lot of favors when they were doing well, so why did they become obsessed and unwilling to help Zhou Qing when he was in trouble.

A bag of rice back then may be returned to a bag of silver today.

Although many people regretted it, no one said a bad word about Zhou Qing.

Because these neighbors have all received Zhou Qing's favors to some extent.

The mere appearance of a martial artist in Xin'an Lane is enough to make the nearby ruffians stay away.

No one can guarantee that Zhou Qing, a grateful person, has ever eaten a bowl of porridge or drank half a bowl of tea at any house.

No one is willing to offend Zhou Qing in order to collect some protection fees.

"Pah! Pah!" In the crowd, a man in his early fifties was smoking a dry pipe while looking at the slowly moving convoy. He was wearing a faded and worn blue cloth shirt, a sweat-stained white towel on his shoulders, and a polished dry pipe in his hand.

"Achao, are you really not going to the county town with Aqing? You don't have to worry about me and your mother." The man took a deep breath of the welding smoke in his hand, and a faint spark flickered in the pipe, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

"Father, I've decided to stay in the town. My talent is very ordinary, and I don't have Ah Qing's ability to be a martial arts master. If it weren't for Ah Qing's help, I might not have broken through the flesh barrier until now."

Behind the man stood a boy who looked to be about 17 or 18 years old. He had a short haircut, wore a green training jacket, and black trousers, and looked energetic.

"It's good to stay here. I heard that there are many martial arts masters in the county town, and there are dignitaries everywhere, unlike our small town. If you really go to the county town, I guess your mother will worry about you all day and can't sleep." The man's dark face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled, the wrinkles were squeezed together.

In fact, he was also afraid that his child would travel far away, and he was so worried that he didn't sleep all night.

However, he was more afraid of delaying his child's future, so he never said anything to keep him from beginning to end.

"My current life is the best life for me." The boy sighed as he looked at the carriage that slowly disappeared from his sight.

"Wait a few more years for me to save money and build you two big tile houses, then marry a wife and have two big fat boys, then your mother and I will have nothing to worry about." The man smoked his pipe vigorously, and the smoke rose.

"Father, you and mother don't have to work anymore! Ah Qing gave me five hundred taels of silver before he left! Let me...!" Before the boy finished speaking, the astonished man covered his mouth.

The man looked around and saw that no one heard him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes!" The boy nodded heavily.

The man smiled and said, "Then we will take our time to choose. At least she must be a lady from a noble family to marry into my family."

The young man hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Father, I want to practice for another two years. If I can break through the tendon barrier, I can make a lot of money in the future!"

The man was silent for a moment and nodded, "Your own business, make your own decision."

"Thank you, father."

"Don't tell your mother about the silver for the time being. I'm afraid she will let it slip."

"Got it."

"Go home, Qing is far away."

When the carriage at the end of the caravan disappeared at the end of the street, the man put away his pipe.

"Well." The young man took a deep look at the disappearing caravan, followed his father into the narrow alley on the side, and walked towards Xin'an Lane.

The father and son were Liang Si and Liang Chao.

Before Zhou Qing left, he said goodbye to Liang Chao and invited him to go to Nanli County City together. After considering for a few days, Liang Chao decided to stay in Heishan Town to serve his parents.

Zhou Qing did not force him. After giving him some medicinal materials, he gave him another 500 taels of silver.

Zhou Qing left Heishan Town, but his story did not disappear. Instead, it became a legend in Heishan Town and was compiled into a storybook by storytellers.

Almost every young man from a poor family would stop outside a restaurant or teahouse and listen to the storyteller telling Zhou Qing's story, just to hear Zhou Qing's story.

They believed that they had a lot in common with Zhou Qing. They were both born in poverty and were grateful for the kindness they received. Maybe one day, they could become martial arts masters like Zhou Qing and leave their own legends in Heishan Town.
