Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

```

After a short rest, Chen Qing popped a perfectly round elixir into his mouth and immediately felt his entire body slowly transforming.

The medicinal power entered his body and began to merge into the Life and Death Pulse Wheel, making it more refined and larger.

This was the cultivation at the Mystic Gate Realm. When the Life and Death Pulse Wheel occupied the entire Dantian, it was considered complete.

Others might lack resources for cultivation, but the top cultivators in the entire Wen Country could not be lacking.

For example, top experts like Chen Qing and Xuan Mang and the likes of Ting Yun could not possibly be lacking.

According to Xuan Mang, with a constant supply of elixirs, it would take him about eighteen years to cultivate to the Sky-reaching Realm.

Chen Qing estimated for a moment that if he had an uninterrupted supply of elixirs, it would take about seven years.

Currently, these elixirs were all crafted by Dan Yangzi, and only those top higher-ups had the opportunity to consume them continuously.

Fortunately, there were many disciples under Dan Yangzi, and in a few years, there might be more alchemists capable of crafting Mystic Gate Realm elixirs.

After cultivating for a while, Chen Qing stood up and, along with Dan Yunzi, carried the mountain towards Haoran Temple.

Walking together, they made a good company. Occasionally encountering small demons along the way, the demons, seeing their immense figures, thought they were heavenly deities descending and dodged out of the way.

As they walked, Dan Yunzi said, "After walking another ten thousand miles, we will reach my dojo, Yun Gui Island."

Chen Qing gazed at the scenery of blue waves stretching thousands of miles and felt somewhat content. The current scene reminded him of returning to Wuyou Mountain, obeying the Mountain Master's arrangements, and doing his work.

Chen Qing actually quite enjoyed this kind of life. If it weren't for Yan Shiyin or Ji Dang, he might not have entered the Death Realm to contend for kingship.

What's wrong with cultivating peacefully?

But then he remembered that he was secretly planning the Water King's death, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Once you delve deeply into the mortal world, it's hard to look back.

Carrying the Red Flame Mysterious Gold Mountain for half a month, they passed by Dan Yunzi's dojo and stopped for a drink.

Setting off again, on this day, as Chen Qing once more carried the Red Flame Mysterious Gold Mountain, he suddenly felt a chill enter his body.

He looked back and saw frost on the Red Flame Mysterious Gold Mountain.

Snow began to fall from the sky, and the sea started to freeze.

"Second brother, what's going on?"

Dan Yunzi said, "This Red Flame Mysterious Gold fell into a trench filled with millennia-old cold ice and entangled with it for five hundred years, with some of the millennia-old cold ice merging into it."

"It's also considered a clever coexistence of water and fire."

Chen Qing asked, "Is this thing really usable for growing Spiritual Medicine when we bring it back?"

Dan Yunzi shook his head, "Just follow the master's instructions. Master is a True Monarch and naturally has abilities we don't know of."

"Besides, this Red Flame Mysterious Gold Mountain is extremely rich with both water and fire energies. It should be used to grow some Spiritual Medicine that thrives in extreme environments."

Chen Qing nodded, carrying the mountain and continuing toward Haoran Temple.

It was quick to come, but on the way back, it was slower. The two relied only on foot travel. Though they covered a thousand miles a day, the distance was still so vast.

It took them half a year to return to Haoran Temple.

After half a year of arduous cultivation, Chen Qing's understanding of Fatian Xiangdi had also become more advanced, increasing from sixfold to sevenfold enhancement.

It could be said that just by visiting Haoran Temple, his strength had doubled once again!

If he were to battle Dan Yunzi again, even without the help of Third Brother or Fourth Sister, he could barely fight to a draw.

After placing the two mountains down, the two rushed to Haoran Temple to meet Haoran True Monarch. They hadn't even entered the door when they heard Haoran True Monarch's chilling voice, "Just moving two mountains, and you end up in this state!"

"Over on Nine Profound True Monarch's side, the laurel is about to bloom. She owed me a favor a few years back, so you guys go and chop down two branches for me!"

Dan Yunzi immediately put on a bitter face, "Master is treating us like laborers."

Chen Qing asked, "What's the deal?"

Dan Yunzi said, "That laurel is an innate spiritual treasure of the Taiyin lineage, extremely tenacious. This trip might take a year or half."

"Ordinary folks can't even shake it!"

Chen Qing spread his hands, "But I don't have a handy tool!"

Dan Yunzi said, "We need to borrow the Remnant Jade Axe from Nine Profound Temple!"

"I fear that Nine Profound Temple also wants to chop down the laurel branch, so when we go and make the effort, we'll cut down two branches for them as well."

Chen Qing asked, "Can't they cut it themselves?"

Dan Yunzi said, "Near the laurel, once any mana or spiritual energy is used, it'll all be absorbed by the laurel."

"Only cultivators like us, who possess the King Power Gu, can obtain its branches."

Chen Qing suddenly thought of Xu Yaofeng and asked, "When the laurel blooms, is there a meeting?"

Dan Yunzi said, "In theory, there should be a conference, but we don't know who they'll actually invite."

"As for those from Haoran Temple, it's probably just us."

Chen Qing nodded. When the gathering happened, he would inform Xu Yaofeng and let him think of a way to get an invitation.

Having just arrived at Haoran Temple, the two brothers hadn't even rested a moment before rushing to Nine Profound Temple, preparing to see the blooming of Nine Profound Temple's laurel.

At night, they responded to the call of the King of Qi, descending to the Qi King's Palace to teach Chen Dan, Yu Xu'er, and the King of Qi.

During the time, Chen Qing sat on the Flying Shuttle, and put on the bronze ghost mask, preparing to participate in tonight's gathering.
