Chapter 209 The Powerful Four-Flavor Wine Bug! The Five Tribes Gather Together (Two in One)

"Finally, I succeeded without any danger!" Zhou Qing showed a happy expression, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"?"

Wanqi Zongbo looked at Zhou Qing with a strange expression. There was no danger at all, and as for the surprise, where was it?

"Elder, what's wrong?" Zhou Qing saw Wanqi Zongbo's hesitation and was a little confused.

"Oh, by the way, I have to thank the elder for his help, so that I can succeed in the refining by chance."

Zhou Qing hurriedly thanked him. In order to increase the success rate of refining wine worms, he specially asked Wanqi Zongbo, who had failed eight times in refining four wine worms, to help.

The other party was familiar with every process of refining wine worms, and grasped the details accurately to the millimeter.

The result was just as Zhou Qing expected. With the help of Wanqi Zongbo, he successfully refined four wine worms.

"." Wanqi Zongbo opened his mouth, but still didn't say a word.

To refine Gu worms, you need to find secret recipes and collect materials.

The same secret recipe may succeed for some people and fail for others. And a secret recipe with a high success rate may not be suitable for everyone.

In many cases, in order to refine high-level Gu worms, Gu Masters will spend several years or even more than ten years collecting materials. Once the refining fails, the collected materials will be wasted at best, and the Gu worms will die at worst, and years of hard work will go to waste.

It’s okay for first-level Gu worms, and the cultivation cycle is relatively short. Starting from the second-level Gu worms, the time, energy, and resources required for cultivation and refining will increase significantly.

For example, Zhou Qing succeeded in refining the four-flavor wine worms that Wanqi Zongbo had always wanted to refine at one time, while he failed as many as eight times.

For a senior second-level Gu Master like him, ordinary wine worms are not difficult to cultivate. It just takes more time to collect fine wine and spend more Yuanshi.

However, ordinary wine worms have no effect on second-level Gu Masters, but they are still somewhat useful for first-level Gu Masters, but they are also relatively limited.

It is a hurdle for wine worms to go from the first-grade upper-grade to the first-grade top-grade, and the resources consumed have increased significantly.

After all, many fine wines may not be available even if you have money, and in order to ensure the quality, you can only brew them yourself.

Especially after finally cultivating two first-grade top-grade wine worms, the result is that the combination of four-flavor wine worms fails. If you are lucky, the two wine worms will be severely damaged and the grade will drop.

If you are unlucky, the wine worms will die and everything will have to start all over again.

However, once you succeed, the benefits are also quite considerable.

The second-grade four-flavor wine worms can improve the quality and power of the true essence by a small realm, which is equivalent to an increase of 20% in the true essence in the Yuanqiao.

If a second-grade early Gu Master has a third-grade qualification, the true essence in the two Yuanqiaos is 55%, and the total true essence is 110%. But if you have four-flavor wine worms, the true essence in the two Yuanqiaos will improve the quality and power of a small realm, each increasing by 20%, which is actually equivalent to 150% of the true essence.

A second-level Gu Master with second-class qualifications has 77% of the true essence in both Yuanqiao, and the total true essence is 154%.

In the case of having a wine worm, the total true essence of second-level Gu Masters of the same realm is almost the same even if the qualifications are one level different.

You should know that the difference in qualifications between Gu Masters is like a natural moat in the early stage.

Gu Masters with third-class qualifications or below have very little hope of breaking through to the second level, because whether he refines, cultivates, or refines Gu worms, the true essence is far from enough, and it is almost impossible to refine second-level Gu worms.

The true essence restored by Yuanshi alone is not enough.

And high-quality wine worms are excellent Gu worms that can make up for the lack of qualifications in the early stage for low-level Gu Masters.

The effect of the first-level wine worm is to improve the quality and power of the true essence by a small realm, which is equivalent to the true essence in the Yuanqiao increasing by 10%.

The effect of the second-level four-flavor wine worm is even stronger, which is equivalent to the true essence in the Yuanqiao increasing by 20%.

After that, there are the third-level seven-fragrant wine worms, which are equivalent to increasing the true essence in the Yuanqiao by 30%.

There are also the legendary fourth-level nine-eyed wine worms

To a certain extent, wine worms can help poor-qualified Gu masters change their fate.

Although Wanqi Zongbo is not good at fighting, he is also a top-level strongman with second-level qualifications and has reached the second-level perfection. The reason why he wants to refine four-flavor wine worms is not mainly to improve combat power, but to increase his true essence by 40%, so that he can hope to refine the black spider Gu.

The gap between the third level and the second level is the difference between heaven and earth. The first-level Gu master can compete with the second-level Gu master by number, but the third-level Gu master is unmatched by any number of second-level Gu masters.

Because the third-level strongman can already start to use the power of heaven and earth. The first and second levels use their own power, while the third level uses the power of heaven and earth.

Even a trace of the power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by human power.

That's why Wanqi Zongbo fought and failed again and again, and he wanted to cultivate the four wine worms.

At this moment, seeing that he had been preparing for many years without success, and Zhou Qing succeeded at once, Wanqi Zongbo's mentality changed.

"Elder?" Zhou Qing asked carefully when he saw Wanqi Zongbo's face constantly changing.

"Congratulations, you are indeed quite talented in the way of refining Gu." When saying this, Wanqi Zongbo couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

There is no treasure in this world that can increase the talent of Gu refining. All treasures that can increase the success rate of Gu refining are just an extra insurance. Whether it succeeds or not depends not only on human efforts, but also on fate.

Wanqi Zongbo asked himself that he had been immersed in the art of Gu refining for decades, and his Gu refining level was not inferior to that of the clan leader, especially in cultivating and refining auxiliary Gu worms, which was his strength.

At this moment, Zhou Qing, who was not as good as him, followed his instructions and refined four wine worms at one time.

Wanqi Zongbo could only say that Zhou Qing had some skills, but not much.

Apart from a little skill, the rest was all talent and luck.

"I may be a little smart in the art of Gu refining, but mainly because I have better luck than others." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"." The muscles at the corners of Wanqi Zongbo's eyes twitched slightly. Sometimes, what Gu refining needs most is precisely the illusory luck.

"Let's see how good the quality of this four-flavor wine worm is."

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Yes, elder." Zhou Qing nodded and looked at the words that appeared in his sight.

In fact, the jade scepter had reacted since the four-flavor wine worms were successfully combined.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, and the silkworm baby flashing with four colors of light fell into his palm. He used the true essence in the Yuanqiao to start refining the four-flavor wine worms.

After the Gu worms were combined, they needed to be refined again.

However, because Zhou Qing's Gu worms not only had a connection with his true essence, but also had a connection with the jade scepter profession, he could refine it much faster than Gu masters of the same level.

Soon, more and more words appeared in his sight.

[You have obtained a new Gu worm - Four-flavor wine worm]

[Grade: Second-level lower grade (upgradeable, can be combined)]

[Four-flavor wine worms: two first-level top-grade wine worms, fed with four kinds of fine wines of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, and combined to 20%, can be fed with fine wine to help them grow. ]

[Effect: Qi gathering in the heavens, second-level condensation of essence]

[Qi gathering in the heavens: Feel the mystery of the state of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head in advance, and use the power of heaven and earth to open the second essence. Absorbing the power of heaven and earth to fill the body will cause a great burden on the physical body, so be careful. ]

[Second-level condensation of essence: Improve the quality and power of the true essence by one small realm, and greatly speed up the recovery of the true essence. ]

"This is." Looking at the introduction of the four-flavor wine worm in his sight, Zhou Qing's pupils suddenly dilated.

Qi gathering in the heavens has become a regular effect directly, which is an ability that can only be obtained when reaching the state of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head.

Although the first-level wine worm before could also allow him to draw the power of heaven and earth, it was not like now, where he could use it at will.

In addition, in addition to the inherent ability to improve the quality and power of the true essence by one small realm, the four-flavor wine worm also has the ability to greatly speed up the recovery of the true essence.

Sure enough, he did not waste so much effort!

"If I can master the middle volume of the Poison Dragon Golden Body and continue to strengthen my body, I might be able to adapt to the power of heaven and earth in the blood exchange realm and use the methods of the Grandmaster of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head." Zhou Qing thought to himself.

As long as the body is strong enough, it will be fine. Although this is not easy, it is definitely much easier than breaking through the third level.

When he adapts to the power of heaven and earth, whether it is breaking through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head in martial arts or becoming a third-level Venerable in Gu Dao, it will be much easier than others.

At this time, as Zhou Qing refined the four-flavor wine worm and put it back into the Yuanqiao, the four-flavor wine worm immediately plunged into the Zhenyuan Lake and swallowed it.

"How is it?" Wanqi Zongbo couldn't help asking. Although there are many records about the four-flavor wine worm in the classics, in the hundreds of years since the existence of Bingyun Mountain Village, except for the Xuanzhu Venerable, no Bingling tribe member has ever successfully refined the four-flavor wine worm.

"It does have the effect of strengthening the true essence." Zhou Qing nodded, "I vaguely feel that some changes have taken place in the outside world?"

"Have you sensed the power of heaven and earth? Can the four-flavor wine worm really help the Gu Master open the second Yuanqiao?!"

Wanqi Zongbo was stunned. The classics clearly recorded that the first-level wine worm and the second-level four-flavor wine worm have a certain probability of helping the Gu Master open the Yuanqiao, but this probability is extremely low and depends purely on luck.

"It's not clear yet." Zhou Qing shook his head. He was going to enter the Falling Immortal Valley to try it out, so he had to reveal some of the peculiarities of the four-flavor wine worm in advance.

"." Wanqi Zongbo hesitated. He was going to cultivate two more wine worms and then let Zhou Qing help refine them together.

Although the Gu worms refined in this way are not as easy to refine as those refined by himself, after seeing Zhou Qing's luck, he felt that if he relied on himself again, he might fail for the ninth time.

However, Zhou Qing was about to enter the Falling Immortal Valley and face a life-and-death crisis. There was no need to speak in advance about such things.

"In short, with the four-flavor wine worm, the chances of success of this trip can be increased by two points." Wanqi Zongbo changed the subject.

"I have to inform the clan leader of this good news."

After saying that, Wanqi Zongbo left the quiet room directly.

"Everything is ready." Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually a little nervous deep down about going to the Falling Immortal Valley.

After all, facing multiple first-level Gu Masters with second-level Gu worms, even a second-level Gu Master could not guarantee that there would be no accidents. Although his martial arts cultivation had greatly improved and he had more insurance, there were still risks.

Now that the four-flavor wine worms had been successfully combined, there was no room for improvement in strength.

All that was left was to do our best.

One month later.

Five hundred miles east of the middle reaches of the Five Rivers, there was a huge barren mountain.

An ice crystal dragonfly as big as a house fell from the sky and finally landed on the top of the barren mountain.

Wanqi Zongyuan arrived with Zhou Qing, Wanqi Yushu, Wanqi Wenlan, Wanqi Qingshi, and Wanqi Bowen.

When the Falling Immortal Valley was opened, each of the five major spirit tribes had six places to enter the Falling Immortal Valley.

However, a genius member of the Ice Spirit Tribe had just turned 25. The younger members either had insufficient cultivation or poor qualifications and could not use the second-level Gu worms, so only five people were sent this time.

"It seems that we are the first to arrive." Wanqi Bowen looked around curiously. The whole barren mountain was bare. There was not even a blade of grass nearby, let alone a valley.

Zhou Qing also silently observed the surrounding situation. Suddenly, he found an abnormal breath fluctuation not far ahead.

"That's not right." At this time, a discordant voice sounded. A yellowish-brown hill appeared in the area halfway up the mountain, and then quickly moved towards the top of the barren mountain, and finally stopped not far from Zhou Qing and others.

Buzz!

The yellowish-brown hill opened, revealing a yellowish-brown giant bear that was ten feet tall. On both sides of the giant bear stood three young Gu Masters, four men and two women, all wearing animal skin robes and painted with various colors of oil paint on their faces.

At this time, accompanied by a burst of yellowish-brown light, the giant bear's body shape changed rapidly and turned into a dwarf old man less than one meter and two meters tall.

"This is the great elder of the Xiong family of the Beast Soul Clan, Xiong Tai." Wanqi Yushu on the side explained in a low voice.

Zhou Qing's eyes changed slightly when he heard this. The Beast Soul Clan is divided into the Xiong Clan and the Lei Clan. The elders of the two clans exercise the power of the clan leader at the same time. Although this elder Xiong Tai looks frail, he is the undisputed number one expert of the Beast Soul Clan, and exudes an extremely domineering aura of true energy.

"It turns out that the leader this time is Brother Zong Bo. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than 40 years." Xiong Tai smiled faintly.

"It's about the same." Wanqi Zongbo looked quite cold. Among the five major spirit clans, the relationship between the Ice Spirit Clan and the Raw Barbarian Clan and the Beast Soul Clan is average. It's hard to say about the other two clans during this trip to the Falling Immortal Valley, but the Raw Barbarian Clan and the Beast Soul Clan will definitely join forces to deal with Zhou Qing and his friends, so he didn't give Xiong Tai a good look.

"Why did only five people come from the Ice Spirit Clan this time? Could it be that after Brother Zong Yuan was seriously injured, the Ice Spirit Clan's descendants were also affected?" Xiong Tai glanced at the five people behind Wanqi Zongbo, and his eyes paused on Zhou Qing for a moment.

"Five people are enough. As for whether the clan leader is seriously injured, if Elder Xiong is interested, you can visit my Bingyun Village and see how much strength the clan leader has left after the battle with the black dragon?" Wanqi Zongbo retorted without giving in.

"Brother Zongyuan's strength is still unquestionable. I am only worried about Brother Zongyuan because I heard that the black dragon has made great progress in cultivation." Xiong Tai heard this, his eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled. Regardless of whether Wanqi Zongbo was bluffing or not, he didn't dare to go to the Bingling Clan anyway.

"Humph!" Wanqi Zongbo snorted lightly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the smile on Xiong Tai's face gradually faded, and he looked like he was watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The six descendants of the Beast Soul Clan behind him were waiting for Zhou Qing and the other five people.

Among the three Beast Soul Gu Masters who died in Baiman Mountain, there were their relatives. Although the public said that the three died at the hands of the Mo Jiao, no one can guarantee that they were not killed by the descendants of the Ice Spirit Clan.

Anyway, their goal this time is very clear. After entering the Falling Immortal Valley, they will give priority to hunting down the Ice Spirit Clan Gu Masters.

"Cry!"

Just when the scene fell into silence, a clear cry came from the sky, and then a huge strange bird with red light all over its body flew from a distance. Before it landed on the barren mountain, a strong heat came.

"Hiss!" The Sky Fire Centipede in Zhou Qing's Yuanqiao woke up, looking at the strange bird with eyes full of desire and drooling.

Rumble!

At the same time, a huge roar came from the bottom of the mountain, and a huge stone man with a height of three feet was seen running towards the barren mountain. On his shoulders and head, seven Gu Masters were sitting cross-legged.

"Cry!"

At this time, the giant strange bird also landed on the top of the mountain, and two teams of people, a total of fourteen people, flew down from the left and right.

"The Feiyu tribe and the Yinhun tribe came together, it seems that they reached an agreement in advance." Wanqi Yushu's face was solemn.

In a moment, the overlords of the Qilian Mountains, the five major spirit tribes, gathered in the barren mountain.
