Chapter 381 Level 5 Heavenly Gu
Chapter 381 Fifth Level Heavenly Gu
Li Quanqing walked in Qingchen Immortal City, looking at this immortal cultivation market that had only been nurtured for a few decades, and found it to be far more prosperous than he had imagined.
Everywhere was filled with the glow of spiritual arrays and magical instruments, monks coming and going, tall buildings standing in a forest, and the roars of spiritual beasts could be heard, making the scene quite lively.
They did not conceal their figures, and wherever they passed, they immediately received many awe-inspiring looks. Some people even dared not look him in the eye, for fear of angering the newly promoted Nascent Soul ancestor.
Following Li Kunlun, Li Quanqing arrived at the Li family’s residence in the Immortal City, and immediately saw a large group of palaces unfolding before his eyes, undulating and continuous.
Compared to the Qingyu Cave Heaven, this place was undoubtedly more noisy, with good and bad people living together. In addition to the Li clan members who came out to gain experience and run the fairy city, there were also many offerings, with their families, making it very lively.
"The barbarian monk who escaped from Nanling is this person..."
Li Quanqing arrived at the main hall and immediately saw a man kneeling there respectfully. He looked like a rather haggard middle-aged man, with a scent of herbs and a bit of bookish air about him.
"This person is in the late stage of foundation building. He used a pseudonym before and claimed that he was a second-level alchemist. He does have many skills and has even participated in the refining of foundation building pills several times..."
Li Kunlun transmitted the message in secret, telling him everything that had happened over the years.
Although this person has a great talent for alchemy, he is quite introverted and low-key, and rarely interacts with other alchemists or monks.
Therefore, Li Kunlun did not have many memories of him and had only met him a few times. Who would have known that he was so deeply hidden.
"you were fooled."
Li Quanqing only took a glance at this person and saw through the truth. He shook his head slightly and said, "This guy is not a foundation-building cultivator, but a real Jindan cultivator. In a real battle, he may not be much weaker than you."
"What?! He is actually a Jindan cultivator!"
Li Kunlun was extremely surprised when he heard this. He had already carefully investigated several times, but still could not see through this guy's disguise.
No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary foundation-building alchemist, unremarkable, and has been hiding in the Li family for more than ten years.
"After all this, are you still planning to continue hiding?"
Li Quanqing pointed out a ray of magic power, which instantly broke through the man's secret disguise, revealing the aura of a middle-stage golden elixir, as hot as flames.
"Ancestor Quan Qing has boundless power and overwhelms the East China Sea. I am convinced and I only wish to serve under the Li family and work like a slave to repay you for saving my life today!"
This man knelt in the main hall and spoke loudly and earnestly, with an appearance of a man who would die for his confidant.
His secret technique was broken, and the disguise on his face also disappeared completely, revealing his true face. His hair and beard were fiery red, and there was a tattoo of a monster on his face, exuding a wild and ferocious aura.
Li Quanqing ignored it and thought that the guy was talking nonsense. He just wanted to work for him and seek his protection because he was desperate.
"Tell me about your origins."
Li Quanqing sat at the top of the hall, overlooking this person. A ray of Nascent Soul pressure burst out, and it was like a mountain pressing down on one's head. The air in the whole hall was filled with majesty.
The divine power was like a prison. The barbarian traitor trembled, his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down.
"I dare not hide it from you, my ancestor. My name is Manming. I was born in the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World. I am a member of a lower-class tribe in the Yuanying Barbarian Clan. I have been humiliated since I was a child..."
Man Ming did not dare to hide anything, and once he opened his mouth he spoke incessantly, as if he wanted to reveal the whole cause and effect, and explain how miserable his life was and how he was forced into a helpless situation.
"That's enough. I'm not interested in this! Tell me directly, why did you betray the barbarians and be hunted down?"
Li Quanqing had a cold expression and shouted like thunder, which instantly exploded in the hall with a sound like thunderbolt.
Man Ming was able to achieve the Golden Core Dao from a lower-class ethnic group, so he was certainly not a fool. He had just been talking so much nonsense just to show his sincerity and to indicate that he had told everything without reservation.
At this time, he showed a flattering smile, restrained his expression, and stated the most important cause and effect:
"I dare not hide it from you, my ancestor. That evil man, Man Huan, has been chasing me across tens of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, and he won't let me go. In fact, it's all because I stole a fifth-level poisonous insect from our clan before. It is a treasure of our clan, so I committed a heinous crime and had to hide my identity."
"A fifth-level poisonous insect?"
Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows. The levels of these strange poisonous insects were the same as those of the monsters, ranging from the lowest level one to the highest level five.
If we only talk about the power of this poisonous insect, it is comparable to that of a God-Transforming Venerable. It is hard to find in the world. No wonder it attracted a guy like Man Huan, who tracked it across the domain with the Hanba Demon Zombie on his back.
"This fifth-level poisonous insect is the treasure you are going to present to me, the ancestor?"
Li Quanqing spoke in a faint voice, not really caring, and his interest was greatly reduced.
Although it is said to be a fifth-level spiritual insect, it is likely to have great flaws and it is uncertain whether it is dead or alive.
Otherwise, this guy would have dominated the world of immortal cultivation with this item long ago. Why would he be afraid of being hunted down by the Nascent Soul level cultivators and have to join the Li family?
"Old Ancestor has a keen eye. The fifth-level Gu worm is precious and hard to find. I'm afraid there is only one of this kind in the entire cultivation world."
"I specially prepared this to offer to the ancestor, just to ask the Li family for protection, so that I can keep my body, so that I won't be captured and brought back to the clan, and my skin and tendons will be pulled out, and my soul will also be extracted and used to light a sky lantern!"
The man looked desolate and pleading, and when he spoke of the moving parts, he even shed two tears and sobbed.
Li Quanqing was amazed in his heart, this guy is really a talent, no wonder he has survived until now and has not been beaten to death, his acting skills are really good.
"Take it out and let's see what kind of insect it is."
"Respect the will of the ancestor!"
Man Ming wiped away her tears, carefully took something out of the spirit beast bag, held it solemnly in her palm, and treasured it.
Li Quanqing and the other man looked closely and immediately saw a round stone that was dark red like blood. The stone had strange patterns on its surface, no life or magic power at all, and was just ordinary.
Apart from its overly round shape and dark color, it is no different from any other stone you see on the roadside and there is nothing special about it.
"Is this a fifth-level poisonous insect?"
Li Quanqing sighed slightly, and he almost had the urge to slap this man to death.
Man Ming also looked embarrassed. Over the years, he had tried to crack the mystery of the fifth-level poisonous insect, but to no avail.
If it weren't for the fact that several elders of the barbarian tribe attached great importance to it and had not held sacrifices with the entire tribe, and the monks in the tribe had not hunted him down time and time again.
He would also think that this thing is just an ordinary stone.
"A divine object is naturally hidden. Old Ancestor, please do not underestimate this object. This is the famous fifth-level heavenly Gu - the ancient blood centipede!"
"The founder of the Blood River Sect, one of the ancestral sects of the Demonic Path, once fought a world-shattering battle with our Barbarian God-transforming ancestor in order to obtain this Gu. The battle was so fierce that the sun and moon lost their light, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!"
When the time came, Manming had no choice but to bite the bullet and praise the poisonous insect in his hand to the skies in order to save his reputation.
