Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 163 - 118 Walking on the Earth_2

Chen Qing’s task was to speed up this process.

However, what was truly remarkable was that his current Light Butterfly could listen to the earth’s breathing. He could clearly sense Spirit Stone veins even if they were buried deep beneath the ground.

Put simply, he planned to use money to subdue these twenty-one tribes.

Of course, once everything became clear, at least thirty percent of the wealth would go into Chen Qing’s pocket.

He wasn’t intending to keep this wealth all to himself, as he certainly couldn’t lead Iron Flow Valley to mine Spirit Stones on his own; that would be too slow.

Not very realistic.

After allowing Wei Qingchen to proceed with Foundation Establishment, Chen Qing got up, mounted his horse, and left Iron Flow Valley, intending to explore the surrounding Spirit Stone veins and hidden treasures.

Yuan Wujue led ten riders from the Yuan Rang Tribe out of Iron Flow Valley, galloping down the road, becoming increasingly convinced by Chen Qing.

What he was doing now was completely different from what he did when he was in the Yuan Rang Tribe.

They aimed to seize control of twenty-one tribes at once; he had never encountered such a grand scheme in the Yuan Rang Tribe.

A sense of mission to accomplish great things arose spontaneously.

He increasingly couldn’t fathom Chen Qing’s abilities.

In the ninth level of Qi Refining, he casually took out a spiritual item sword Gu to reward his subordinates. What kind of concept was that?

He had no doubt that Chen Qing had the power to slay those at the Foundation Establishment stage, as without this strength, he couldn’t possibly possess an extra spiritual item sword Gu.

In the previous battle for the Spirit Stone mine, Chen Qing’s strength was still considered normal, but rarely had such formidable Hu Kui appeared.

But the ability to bestow a spiritual item sword Gu was beyond what even a once-in-decades talent like Hu Kui could accomplish.

When he was in the Yuan Rang Tribe, he hadn’t even seen a spiritual Gu.

He only knew that Yuan Ye had a spirit Gu, but he didn’t know exactly what it was.

This time, Chen Qing was going to bestow a spiritual item sword Gu. In comparison, what was Yuan Ye in front of Chen Qing?

At that moment, he threw all thoughts of the Yuan Rang Tribe behind him. He only knew that he wanted to make the biggest contribution this time.

To gain Chen Qing’s trust and regard, and to obtain that spiritual item sword Gu!

At most, he could assure that while hunting nearby tribes, he wouldn’t harbor thoughts against the Yuan Rang Tribe. That was the greatest respect he could offer his own tribe.

Times had changed.

He wanted to follow Lord Qingxu, who could freely bestow spiritual item sword Gu, to the very end of the sky!

His heart was filled with passionate excitement, feeling that joining Iron Flow Valley was indeed an incredibly wise decision; this was the force that could rise!

Thinking of this, the forty-two-year-old Yuan Wujue began pondering another question: how could he contribute the most?

To swiftly capture a tribe?

No, that was just individual bravery, which wouldn’t significantly help the bigger picture.

That would only complete his own task, not fulfill the lord’s requirements.

The lord wanted twenty-one tribes, not just one.

He looked at the Eight Tigers of Iron Flow Valley galloping in front; Jiang Yuhu was the strongest and had excellent relations with the Stepping Square Clan. He guessed Jiang Yuhu might go to seize this tribe.

The thirteen people that came back with the lord, though extremely powerful, were not necessarily simpler than these local experts when it came to capturing nearby tribes.

Jiang Yuhu might be the quickest to succeed.

Better to help Jiang Yuhu secure victory first, then use his strength to help others.

This way, his role would be clear, uniting many fierce tigers to help them successfully capture tribes.

Finally, with their strength, easily taking down a tribe!

In this way, he would be the greatest hero!

Moreover, because they would all have received his help, they would not be discontent when the spiritual item sword Gu was rewarded to him in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wujue hurriedly urged his horse forward, "Yuhu brother, where are you heading?"

Jiang Yuhu laughed, "Of course, I’m going to the Stepping Square Clan. I have good relations with them and am sworn brothers with their chieftain."

"When the time comes, once I produce the documentation, I can establish the identity of Hu Kui."

Yuan Wujue said, "Not so, Yuhu brother, you think too simply. The Stepping Square Clan is not a small clan; they won’t submit to you so easily."

"Moreover, you are already engaged and can’t officially marry a woman from the Stepping Square Clan, making it difficult to truly control them."

Jiang Yuhu stopped and asked, "Then, Yuan brother, what do you suggest?"

Yuan Wujue smiled, "You are currently engaged to someone from the Hei Pi family of the Black Feather Clan. Naturally, first reach out to the Black Feather Clan, seek an audience with Hei Yu."

"Once Hei Yu hears of the matter, he will definitely assist you!"

Jiang Yuhu was overjoyed, "Brother Yuan, you are indeed thorough. If I can intimidate with the strength of the Black Feather Clan, I will surely make it easier to succeed!"

Yuan Wujue felt a delight in his heart. Very well, let the events unfold as he had planned.

...

Chen Qing rode his horse through the mountains and rivers, his heart gradually broadening, no longer weighed down by the depression from being discovered by the Great Witch.

Walking upon the earth made him feel a deep sense of belonging.

He had only traveled sixty miles when Chen Qing sensed a Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the mountains ahead.

Located at the mountain source, the Spiritual Medicine there grew at an exceptionally fast pace.

Right in front, hidden within the mountain stream was another cave dwelling, which appeared to have another world inside it.

Chen Qing rode over, and as he approached that cave dwelling, he saw a young cultivator in the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Seeing Chen Qing approach on horseback, the young man immediately became vigilant, "Where did this Fellow Daoist come from?"

Chen Qing thought to himself that this must be someone who had discovered the secret of this cave dwelling and, having gained this opportunity, was quietly cultivating there.

He hadn’t expected the first treasure land he found to already be discovered by someone.

Chen Qing said, "This is my territory. Join my Iron Flow Valley, and I’ll ensure you don’t lose out on cultivation resources."

"Otherwise, this Cave Heaven Blessed Land won’t be yours to claim."

Out of respect for this cultivator who had stumbled upon the opportunity, Chen Qing offered the best terms he could.

The young man was taken aback, "You know the secret of this place?"

Chen Qing smiled, "This place is originally my territory; of course I know."

"You’ve been occupying my treasure land to cultivate for a long time. I only advised you now because I assumed you were unaware."

The young man said angrily, "You say this is your treasure land, so why weren’t you here before?"

Chen Qing saw that this was a novice in cultivation who had only reached the seventh level of Qi Refining because of his fortuitous encounter with this treasure land.

"There’s no point in talking more. I have many matters to attend to. In time, I will bring an army here. If you don’t rectify your ways by then and insist on occupying my territory, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

The young man was clearly hesitant, and Chen Qing didn’t press further, letting the young man make his own choice.

Chen Qing rode past, marked it on his map, and continued to other places.

September 1.

Chen Qing spent three days traveling around three hundred miles. He took out his map, which now marked five Spirit Stone veins and three hidden cave dwellings, with only one cave already discovered by someone.

At night, Chen Qing let his horse drink from the river, scooped a handful of river water to wash his face, and prepared to rest for a moment.

Just as he stood up, Chen Qing listened to the earth’s breathing in this area, clearly sensing a strong presence of demon energy.

"So close, there’s actually a Foundation Establishment demon hidden here?"

Chen Qing carefully sensed the area. It was a treasure land with water veins converging and abundant Spiritual Energy, with many thriving Spirit Plants growing underwater.

Inside the water cave of the river was a demon cave with over a dozen small demons in the Qi Refining Realm and one old demon in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Carefully sensing again, its Spiritual Energy fluctuations were similar to those of the Qingsong Mountain Master he had encountered before, likely possessing comparable strength.

He thought it might be suitable for Wei Qingchen, post-Foundation Establishment, to come and exterminate it with a team.

The ability of the Light Butterfly to gather information from the surrounding land was simply extraordinary.

In Chen Qing’s view, this power was more useful than Fatian Xiangdi.

Finding Spirit Stone veins, caves, hidden treasures, and discovering lurking evil spirits was incredibly practical.

A big fish slowly floated to the river’s surface, hiding in the water plants, observing Chen Qing. Chen Qing knew all this well, but only chuckled.

Let it watch; it wouldn’t live for many days anyway.
