Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 170 - 121: She Truly Is a Woman Blessed with Good Fortune_2
Chapter 170: Chapter 121: She Truly Is a Woman Blessed with Good Fortune_2
姬茹 led Ji Dang to the volume of “Spring and Autumn Annals,” where Ji Dang picked it up and found a spot nearby to read carefully.
Ji Ru was beside him, cautiously watching her own book, listening to the sound of pages turning next to her.
Because of the Book Gu, she could clearly sense the order in which Ji Dang was turning the pages.
Page fifty-three, page eight, page twelve, page twenty-nine…
After Ji Dang left, Ji Ru hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the “Spring and Autumn Annals,” and turned it the way Ji Dang had.
When she turned to page thirty-seven, she suddenly heard a cicada’s cry.
...
Her body remained in the reading posture, but her consciousness came to rest under a giant clump tree blocking the sky and sun.
On the trunk of that great tree, she saw a cicada.
Indeed, she was a blessed woman.
…
Another morning, Hu Yao woke up naturally, came out from her father’s mouth, called Xiao Wu, and rode her brother out the door.
Xiao Wu was always a bit talkative, “Sister, let’s go catch ground mice to eat; ground mice taste the best.”
Hu Yao remembered Chen Qing’s reminder, “Let’s go to the end of Dragon Bone Mountain.”
Xiao Wu giggled, “Hmm, sister has good taste, the ground mice there are indeed the best.”
After taking just three steps, a big demon passed by, but upon seeing Hu Yao, it quickly stepped aside.
In just three days, Hu Yao had already repeatedly demolished three Foundation Establishment…
The big demons all knew Hu Yao was not to be messed with, and they also knew young people were rather spirited, so they simply chose to avoid her.
Arriving at the dragon’s tail of Dragon Bone Mountain, Hu Yao let Xiao Wu catch ground mice by himself while she waited to enjoy eating.
With her hands open, her little dragon eagerly plunged into the depths of the loess.
Hu Yao thought that since there was a dragon vein here, could there be something good underneath?
Thus, she followed the dragon’s tail, digging along with her little dragon. Before long, she had dug to an extremely hard place, uncovering the soil to reveal a piece of dragon scale.
She continued to dig downward, and after only three zhang deep, she found something faintly glowing in the soil.
Picking it up, she found it was a perfectly round pearl, and her little dragon greedily sucked in the gas emanating from the pearl.
She reached out to take a wisp, slightly puzzled, “Dragon Energy?”
Cleaning the pearl in her hand, she wondered, “Dragon Pearl?”
It seemed to be a valuable treasure.
Going back, I still had to read more books, lest I knew nothing.
Attending gatherings, acting like a deer.
That old monkey seemed quite knowledgeable.
Meanwhile, in the grand hall of Feiyun Creek, an old monkey was earnestly advising, “Great King, Hu Yao’s strength far surpasses other Demon Clans; the Great King should make some preparations.”
The Cow Demon lying on a pile of treasures asked, “How to prepare?”
The old monkey said, “Marry her or accept her as an adopted daughter.”
The Cow Demon shook its head, “No, I don’t like girls that slim; I like them strong and plump.”
“My sons also like plump ones.”
The old monkey said, “This is to consolidate your status!”
The Cow Demon was indifferent, “My status needs no consolidation, I’m late-stage Foundation Establishment, she’s only Qi Refinement Realm.”
The old monkey said, “Then we can only kill her!”
The Cow Demon still disagreed, “No, I have no grudge with her, why kill her? That wouldn’t be right.”
The old monkey was raging inside, nearly blurting out, “A child is unworthy of a plan.”
“What does the Great King intend to do?”
The Cow Demon said, “I heard Hu Yao recently enjoys reading. You’ve traveled among humans for a long time, you go teach her to read.”
The old monkey was dumbfounded, I’m so talented, and you want me to teach her to read?
Fine, I’ll teach earnestly and let her take over your bird’s place!
The old monkey, dressed in a scholar’s robe, swung his sleeve and left.
After the old monkey had gone far, the Cow Demon murmured, “You want a King, but I’m just a common Foundation Establishment, not something I can meddle with.”
“Since you want a King, I’ll give you a King of Ten Thousand Beasts.”
Then, he called his sons and instructed, “Follow Hu Yao and do whatever she asks of you.”
“Even if she asks you to kill me.”
Exchanging one cow’s life for the possibility of future generations breaking through Foundation Establishment, following Hu Yao into the Ghost World, cultivating to Mystic Gate Realm.

…
Noon, Ye City Tea House.
Xu Yaofeng lifted his tea cup, watching the charming young lady in front, who sang a tune softly, revealing a satisfied smile.
It had been a long time since I enjoyed tea and music so leisurely, truly delightful.
After listening to the tune, Xu Yaofeng stood up, placed one tael of Silver in front of this girl in white, “Do you commit suicide, or do I need to act?”
The woman in white was slightly taken aback, “I didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly.”
“Indeed, a worthy Da Yan hound.”
Xu Yaofeng calmly said, “I allowed you to finish a song, giving you enough face already.”
“Now, you should give me face.”
“We are all Foundation Establishment, so let’s maintain some dignity.”
“Beating like those Qi Refinement Realm, all bloody, taints the identity.”
The woman ultimately didn’t comply with his wishes, and a cup of tea later, Xu Yaofeng left the tea house, as if nothing happened.
The only difference was that his backpack now had a woman’s head inside.
After turning around, Xu Yaofeng arrived at Jiao Fangsi, entered and called a girl playing the zither, then went into a private room.
Xu Yaofeng sat down, asked amid the gentle sound of the zither, “What’s the sect’s order this time?”
The zither-playing girl whispered, “The sect says Ye City is under your control, your cultivation resources will be provided according to the treatment of a Da Yan Prince.”
Xu Yaofeng was slightly surprised, “What else did the sect say?”
The girl replied, “The sect wants you to quickly break through to the Ghost Face Realm, when the Ghost Gate opens next, to enter the Death Realm and take over some of our Jiguang Sect’s forces there.”
Xu Yaofeng asked, “How many others like me?”
The girl said, “Two, the other is called Shang Tong.”
“Your men are already waiting for you in the back garden.”
After listening to the tune, Xu Yaofeng went to the back garden, where no one else was, only a waterside pavilion with eighteen Foundation Establishment Realm at peak.
These eighteen all wore bronze ghost masks, and upon seeing Xu Yaofeng, they moved forward in unison, removed their ghost masks, knelt on one knee, saying, “We greet the Master of Mortal World!”
Xu Yaofeng was momentarily stunned, and at that moment, he fully understood Jiguang Sect’s scheme.
Before his Light Butterfly Harmonization, his strength was only close to Divine Son and Goddess.
Jiguang Sect knew this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have obtained the Light Butterfly.
Jiguang Sect wanted him to impersonate the Master of Mortal World to protect the real one.
He rubbed his head, “Really gives a headache.”
Once he entered the Death Realm with the identity of the Master of Mortal World, he would surely face attacks from all sides.
So frustrating.
But Jiguang Sect didn’t know his Light Butterfly had already harmonized, and his current strength might not be weaker than those Divine Sons and Goddesses.
Moreover, Death Realm was still Jiguang Sect’s home ground, so he might be able to do something under this guise.
I wonder what the Jiguang Sect seniors would think once they discovered he genuinely had the Master of Mortal World strength.
It might be worth using this identity to secure cultivation resources and gain support from Jiguang Sect in Death Realm.
Sending the sacrificial pawn, let Shang Tong do it, while he enjoys the resources, and if need be, he can show a hand.
As long as he learns from Mo Xiang’s predecessor three hundred years ago, it shouldn’t threaten his life.
I, a Taichu follower, why should I serve your Jiguang Sect?
What you offered is nothing, but Senior Taichu offered a bright future!
Thinking this, Xu Yaofeng moved forward, using the head-laden parcel, collected all eighteen bronze ghost masks.
“Kneel first, kneel for three days, then we’ll talk.”
These eighteen showed no hesitation and shifted from kneeling on one knee to kneeling with both knees.
Xu Yaofeng could see the fervor in their eyes, as they anticipated him recreating the scene from three hundred years ago, reconstructing Jiguang Sect’s glory.
They were truly fanatical!
