All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 88 Divine Weapon Warrior, Dark Clouds Over the Martial Arts School
"Whether they are barbarians or people from the Jin Dynasty, anyone with a high aptitude for Gu Master will be received by an envoy." The girl understood Zhou Qing's meaning.

“Those without the aptitude to be Gu Masters can serve as servants and follow you to the blessed land.”

Zhou Qing fell silent upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the girl didn't say anything more.

"Is there any way to subdue zombies and corpse worms?" Zhou Qing asked again after a moment.

"Most zombies are extremely yin and evil, and they fear extremely yang and strong power. They can be restrained by yang techniques."

Furthermore, zombies generally need to drink blood to maintain their vitality and strengthen themselves. Therefore, mixing some positive drugs into the blood and letting the zombies drink it can temporarily weaken their strength.

Furthermore, if one is a descendant of a family of divine weapons, one can utilize the power of the divine weapon's bloodline to employ Taoist arts, using talismans, black dog blood, glutinous rice, and other substances to subdue evil spirits.

The girl pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What is a divine weapon?" Zhou Qing asked again.

The girl explained, "A divine weapon is a powerful weapon forged using the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Many martial arts families in the Central Plains have divine weapons passed down from their ancestors."

Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and Gu (a type of insect) is the essence of heaven and earth. Many powerful divine weapons are made from Gu insects as raw materials.

The Divine Weapon Clan can inherit a portion of the power of the Gu worms within the Divine Weapon through bloodline inheritance.

Therefore, the descendants of the Divine Weapon Clan can mostly use their bloodline power to suppress low-level Gu worms.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

If someone inherits the bloodline of the Gu worms in the divine weapon, does that mean they are human or Gu worms?

"According to you, if one uses divine weapons to practice martial arts, how would one compare to a Gu Master of the same level?"

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

The girl shook her head: "It's hard to say who's better. A Gu Master's strength comes from their own talent and the Gu worms they use."

The power of a warrior wielding divine weapons stems from the bloodline of those divine weapons and the family's inherited martial arts techniques.

“Very good, I’ve finished asking.” Zhou Qing nodded.

From this perspective, Gu Masters and Divine Weapon Warriors are on the same level.

One involves raising Gu worms, and the other involves using Gu worms to practice martial arts; essentially, both rely on Gu worms for cultivation.

Pure martial artists are probably a bit weaker.

"Come here." Zhou Qing waved to the boy in the distance.

When the boy came out, the girl consciously walked away into the distance.

After some questioning, the two gave very similar answers.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"You go."

"Are you really letting us go?" The boy was taken aback.

"What? You don't want to leave and want to come home with me?" Zhou Qing sneered.

"Let's go! Of course we're going!" The boy's face lit up with joy, and he grabbed the girl's hand, ready to run towards the Jiulian Mountains.

However, the girl stopped in her tracks, clenched her right fist, placed it on her left chest, and bowed slightly to Zhou Qing.

"Thank you for saving me!"

Seeing this, the boy paused for a moment and then made the same gesture.

The two left together.

Watching the two figures disappear into the night, Zhou Qing released the Golden Silkworm Gu worm.

After a while, he bent his index finger and thumb, put them to his lips, and whistled.

"Wow!"

With a cry of an eagle, the tiger eagle descended from the sky and landed directly on Zhou Qing's arm.

"Follow them, see where they go, and be careful."

Zhou Qing whispered his instructions.

"Chirp chirp~" the tiger eagle readily agreed and flapped its wings to fly into the sky.

Zhou Qing had no intention of going back on his word.

The girl and boy were clearly not simple people, and they had been quite cooperative during the questioning, so he had no reason to kill them.

Let the Golden Silkworm Gu Insect and the Tiger Eagle track them down. If they can find out where the Barbarian tribes live, that would be a huge win.

Since the barbarian tribe has a great Gu master, it means that the places where they live must have Gu worms and an environment suitable for cultivating Gu worms.

This is exactly what Zhou Qing needs.

He never intended to compete with the other party for territory.

But as a dignified 'mountain god,' searching the mountains to raise Gu poison is obviously quite reasonable, right?

"Buzz!"

As Zhou Qing pondered, three more golden silkworm gu insects flew out and circled around the two copper-skinned gu insects in his hand.

"Erqing, do you want it?" Zhou Qing asked Erqing, who was evolving.

At this moment, Zhou Qing took out a pink silkworm cocoon. A light pink silkworm thread emerged from inside the cocoon, wrapped around the copper-skinned Gu in Zhou Qing's hand, and pulled the two copper-skinned Gu into the cocoon.

With a series of creaking sounds, the two copper-skinned Gu were flung out unharmed by the silkworm silk.

It's too tough to chew, and really awful.

Erqing was extremely disgusted.

Zhou Qing remained silent, then took out the poison he had bought from the black market.

"Would you like to try the poison concocted by the Blood Jade Gecko?"

As he spoke, Zhou Qing took out a bottle of poison and poured it onto the silkworm cocoon.

呲呲
Pink smoke immediately rose from the silkworm cocoon.

The poisonous water had completely seeped into it.

【tasty! 】

Erqing's voice was filled with joy.

"That's good." Seeing this, Zhou Qing poured the remaining six bottles of poison onto the silkworm cocoons.

Erqing fell silent.

"How about it?"

I'm a little full, I need to digest.

Erqing's voice gradually faded away.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" At this moment, the golden silkworm worms circling around Zhou Qing showed signs of anxiety.

"Since you like it, then you can have it." Seeing this, Zhou Qing threw out the copper-skinned Gu.

"Crack! Click!"

Faced with the golden silkworm worms' mouthparts, which were as sharp as swords, the two copper-skinned worms did not last long before being devoured by the three golden silkworm worms.

After consuming the copper-skinned Gu, the pale golden carapaces of the three golden silkworm Gu worms gleamed with a metallic luster resembling brass.

As if it were tired, it fell into Zhou Qing's hands and was put into the leather bag Gu.

"Hi~!"

The Crimson Flame, which had stopped at Zhou Qing's feet, became anxious.

"Don't worry, the best is yet to come!"

Zhou Qing laughed and cursed, saying that according to the evolutionary path of the Crimson Flame, it should be eating the Corpse Worm Gu.

The cultivation technique he practiced was not considered yang, nor did he possess the power of a divine weapon. However, he had a 'suppressing evil talisman' given to him by Lu Yan, which should be effective against zombies and corpse worms.

In addition, I received a lot of silver notes tonight, which I used to buy some positive medicines and mix some blood to deal with the corpse worms.

"If Lin Tianzheng, like me, doesn't have the aptitude of a Gu Master and only controls Gu worms through some special methods, then wouldn't I be able to subdue his Corpse Worm Gu King too!"

Zhou Qing recalled the girl's words.

Those who possess the aptitude of a Gu Master, once they refine a Gu worm, will have absolute control over it.

Those who were previously devoured by the Gu worms clearly did not possess the aptitude to become Gu masters.

If the traitors of the Witch God Cult are like this, then Lin Tianzheng should be too.

The Corpse Worm Gu King can grant martial artists combat power comparable to the Bone Refining Realm. If Lin Tianzheng had the aptitude of a Gu Master, he should have already been taken away by the blessed land deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"The Corpse Worm Gu King"

Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

A moment later, through the bloodline connection with the Golden Silkworm Gu, Zhou Qing discovered that the two siblings had vanished into the mist after entering the mountain.

The tiger eagle also lost its target.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing summoned back the Golden Silkworm Gu Insect and the Tiger Eagle, and headed towards Black Mountain Town.

He planned to take the old woman to the county town and rent a house for her to live in.

He won't be able to return to Heishan Town for the foreseeable future.

It's freezing cold, so there's no way to raise silkworms. He's a little worried about leaving his grandmother alone at home.

Moreover, the safety level in the county seat is much higher than that in Heishan Town.

[Refining: Erqing]

[Progress: Mutation and Evolution (525/800)]

Having absorbed the poisonous water prepared by the Blood Jade Gecko, Erqing's evolution progress increased by 24 points in a short time. It seems that it will be able to complete its evolution in less than half a month.

Zhou Qing rushed back to Black Mountain Town before dawn, only to hear that something strange had happened at White Cloud Martial Arts School.

Apart from the third senior brother Ma Wenchun, whose strength had reached the Tendon Refining level, and the fifth senior brother He Zhongdong, all the other disciples in the martial arts school were poisoned.

Mild symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, while severe symptoms can lead to coma.

For a time, all the martial artists at Baiyun Martial Arts School were filled with apprehension.
