Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 159 - 116 Great Witch

August 15.

Wei Qingchen and Nie Fei had entered the city two days earlier; that night, Chen Qing sat at the bow of the ship, cultivating while waiting for news.

The full moon hung high, and silvery moonlight spilled over the sea.

Not long after nightfall, Chen Qing saw them returning one by one. Nie Fei was the sixth to return, "Don’t worry, it’s done. Wei Qingchen is just wrapping things up."

About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Qingchen returned, holding a box in his hands, which he handed to Chen Qing, "Lord Qingxu, I have retrieved the Void Flower."

Chen Qing took it, satisfied, and absorbed it into his body.

Wei Qingchen continued, "This time, we disguised ourselves as operating under Wanbao Pavilion, so it won’t implicate us."

"I investigated the manager of the Yibao Building; he once trafficked one hundred fifty-two boys and girls for demons to use in enhancing Gu."

"He deserved to die!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing felt somewhat better.

This Wei Qingchen was quite competent, not only could he kill, but he also left no future trouble.

Moreover, he even found a reason for Chen Qing to justify the act, making things smoother.

Seeing that Nie Fei nodded towards him, Chen Qing was satisfied and said, "Wei Qingchen has done well this time, and also contributed significantly in the last battle, having slain the most people from the Yin Yang Sect."

"I grant you a Wind and Rain sword Gu!"

"Remember, the first material for the ascension is Sword Ganoderma."

Placing the jade bottle containing the spiritual item sword Gu into Wei Qingchen’s hands, Wei Qingchen was overjoyed, "Thank you, Lord Qingxu, for the reward!"

The others looked envious, realizing that following Chen Qing was worthwhile; someone had just joined and already received a spiritual item sword Gu!

Chen Qing continued, "Wait until your sword Gu ascends, then come find me."

With the Promotion Map in hand, he could greatly increase his control over Wei Qingchen.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Chen Qing said, "Rest for now. After I attend the gathering, we’ll head south tomorrow."

This gathering did not involve much discussion; everyone’s focus was on the immortal island, yet no one knew the specific situation, only that even Li Chonghuan went.

Even Ji Ru did not inquire about the Gu, instead asking others about the immortal island’s news.

Unfortunately, the news was not widespread.

Listening to their discussion, Chen Qing felt no interest.

As the final victor, he naturally knew most.

At this time, someone from the Jiguang Sect resting in the tent under the ship asked, "Wei Qingchen, why did you investigate the Yibao Building’s manager?"

Wei Qingchen replied, "Though Lord Qingxu is strong, his foundation is not yet stable."

"Moreover, now that we have committed to him, we must avoid sullying his dao heart."

"Lord Qingxu is as good as his word, displaying unrivaled loyalty."

"Being with someone like this is the only way to a future."

"Unlike Xi Wangye, who abandoned his comrades when facing death to save himself."

"If Lord Qingxu’s dao heart is sullied and he becomes like that, you can be discarded at any time. Is that what you wish to see?"

In the end, it was about reputation, respecting the virtue of the dao was always more convincing.

And Chen Qing’s reputation was excellent, which is why he could quickly establish himself in Cold Mountain City.

After the gathering, the next day, Chen Qing and his group prepared to head south, seeking a hidden Jiguang Sect base, and everyone was transported to Nanli.

After investigating for a day, they discovered they were near King Wu’s city.

Xuanping led the team, taking twelve days to return to Iron Flow Valley.

As they approached Iron Flow Valley, Nie Fei said, "I still can’t settle in one place, preferring to roam freely."

Chen Qing knew someone like Nie Fei would fall ill from staying in one place for too long.

"If you encounter danger, come find me anytime."

Nie Fei laughed, "Hahaha, as soon as I’m in danger, you’ll surely appear to rescue me!"

Chen Qing instructed, "Li Xuetang, follow Xuanping from now on."

Seeing Li Xuetang had a plan, Nie Fei left gracefully.

Everyone took a distant look at Cold Mountain City, and Wei Qingchen, gazing at the majestic city, asked, "Lord, do you require us to take this city?"

Chen Qing glanced sidelong at Xuanping; after all, it was Xuanping’s family business.

Xuanping said, "Except for this city, the other neighboring tribes can be at your disposal."

She knew that people from the Jiguang Sect were highly skilled and couldn’t be truly confined to Iron Flow Valley.

These seven tribes were what Chen Qing and Xuanping offered them as a foundation.

Wei Qingchen said, "In just three months, aside from Cold Mountain City, the other seven tribes will surely submit before you, Lord!"

Chen Qing said, "Don’t make it too obvious; just maintain control in the shadows."

Wei Qingchen cupped his hands, "Understood!"

Chen Qing continued, "Wei Qingchen, now you have completed the Qi Refining Realm and possess two spiritual item Gus, it’s time you prepared for Foundation Establishment."

"As for obtaining control over these seven tribes, just issue the orders; let someone else execute them."

"I’ll say just one thing: on the surface, they can do as they wish, but one day when I raise an army, I wish to see all who can fight come to me."

Waving the others away, Chen Qing and Xuanping rode toward Iron Flow Valley. Chen Qing asked, "I’m planning to take over your family’s foundation, and you’re not reacting?"

Xuanping was indifferent, "My family’s foundation belongs to my father, not to me."
