Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

"Hidden Qi Talisman".

One of the few concealment talismans in the first tier.

Unless you are spied on by a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, your Yin Qi will never be exposed.

However, Chen Ye is not stupid. Someone will definitely tell him about my attitude towards you, and he will inevitably investigate.

But as long as you hurry up and break through to the first level of Qi Refining, I can guarantee your safety. Even if you compete openly, Chen Ye won't dare to do anything to you!"

That's all.

Li Fu threw the concealment talisman over.

As soon as Gu Qing received the talisman, a surge of spiritual energy immediately flowed from it, circulating throughout his body and forming an invisible film on his skin. When Gu Qing tried to observe it internally, he saw two different scenes.

One is the yin energy flowing like a stream, rolling and circulating within the body.

One is a faint yin energy, like a silk thread.

Unless it is himself or a cultivator with powerful perception, what he sees is only the latter, and he cannot see the truth at all.

Upon seeing this.

Gu Qing felt much more at ease.

But at the same time, I became curious about Li Fu's next question: "Master Li, do you have connections behind the scenes?"

"Don't bother asking about that."

Li Fu didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Then he continued, "Just focus on your cultivation and strive for a top-three finish in the assessment."

"Thank you, Master Li." Gu Qing raised his hand to bow deeply. After putting the concealment talisman into his pocket, he remembered his parents' matter. "Master Li, I have another favor to ask of you. I will definitely not let you do it for nothing."

"About your parents? Wait, the gifts they sent, could they have been borrowed from that Zhongli Daoist?"

Li Fu was somewhat surprised.

He had some doubts when Gu Qing asked him about it before.

Gu Qing nodded. "You said before that I could borrow money from you if I needed it."

"Your parents really are... really bold!" Li Fu wanted to scoff as usual, but when he thought that Gu Shenyan's decision to lend money to send Gu Qing to Wufeng Temple was a wise one, he could only admire him.

Li Fu then asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"five hundred."

"So many?"

"I will repay you double in the future."

"I'll repay you double... I'll take it!" Li Fu pulled out a stack of silver notes with a wave of his hand. After counting them, he realized it wasn't enough, so he quickly searched his pockets and finally managed to scrape together five hundred taels. "I won't set a date. You can repay me whenever you want. If you can reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining in the future, you don't have to repay me. I'll just give you that as a congratulatory gift."

"Thank you, Master Li."

Gu Qing accepted the silver notes with both hands, and a weight was finally lifted from her heart.

"There's no need for such formalities between us... Sigh, it wasn't easy to save up some money..." Li Fu sighed helplessly.

But he was actually happier than anything else.

Li Fuzuo possessed extraordinary talent in unorthodox practices.

Investing now is definitely a hundred times better than trying to win Gu Qing over after she becomes stronger.

Moreover.

Three hundred taels of it was a gift from Gu's father.

After careful calculation, he realized he had only paid two hundred taels.

This deal... is a good one!

After sighing, Li Fu suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded Gu Qing, "I almost forgot, don't ask for leave to go home. I will send someone to tell your parents tomorrow that your family should meet in the county."

Why is that?

Gu Qing frowned.

"I told you not to reply, so don't reply. Don't ask questions unless it's important." Li Fu still didn't want to say more.

But this time Gu Qing chose to press further, "Are you worried that the thief will attack me? Didn't the thief...?"

Li Fu panicked and quickly made a shushing gesture, "Stop, don't talk nonsense."

"real?"

Gu Qing feigned surprise.

Li Fu walked to Gu Qing's side and lowered his voice, saying, "You're the smart one; you guessed it all. There were no serious injuries, and several Taoist priests in the temple were injured, and a few constables died in the county."

"this……"

Gu Qing still looked surprised.

A chill ran through him.

Li Fu reassured him, "But don't worry, he wouldn't dare to make a move in broad daylight. After all, that guy is a heretical cultivator and doesn't have the means to hide during the day."

Moreover, this matter has already alarmed the abbot and others. Even if the abbot cannot come back, a deputy abbot will definitely return to take charge.

If you're really worried, then find another job.

Gu Qing quickly shook his head, "I won't change the job. I trust you, and I trust Wufeng Temple!"

"Then work hard and make the most of your time to cultivate." Li Fu patted Gu Qing on the shoulder and took a step to rest.

Gu Qing continued to bury himself in controlling the insects and examining the corpse.

However, I still felt uneasy.

Deng Hui will not die for another day.

He was uneasy.

……

soon.

A day has passed.

The following morning, I evaluated it again.

Controlling insects to examine corpses doubles your profits!

[Evaluation Panel Lv1 (13/100)]

[Today's Review!]

[After four hours of using insects to examine the corpses at the Fufeng Forest Tomb, only six corpses about to explode were discovered. However, the efficiency of using insects to examine the corpses was extremely high. Rating: D-grade - Corpse Qi +10]

[The Corpse-Eating Insect has been refined into a Tier 2 Eight-Legged Heart-Eating Insect, rated C—Corpse Qi +50, Yin Qi Replenishment +25]

"Another large amount of corpse energy and replenishing yin energy has entered the account!"

Looking at the daily evaluation panel, the unease brought by Deng Hui instantly dissipated by more than half.

Given time, even if his true form cannot contend with the opponent, the corpse-devouring worms will grow to a terrifying level.

"If we have the money to buy some more insect-raising materials, the speed at which the Corpse-Eating Worms improve will be even faster."

pity.

I don't have any money right now.

Gu Qing sighed and closed the panel.

Even if he doesn't have money to buy consumables, once the eight-legged heart-eating worms are completely refined, he can still maintain 20 points of corpse energy entering his account every day.

Seven days is enough to raise the Corpse-Eating Worms to the upper level of the first tier!

……

"Fellow Daoist Gu, Master Li sent me to tell you some news. Your father and the others are currently at the Qingfeng Inn in Changping County. You can go down the mountain and enter the city."

After delivering the message, the young Taoist priest left immediately.

Gu Qing thanked him, but went straight to the canteen and ate his fill, because he really didn't have the money to eat out in the county town.

After eating his fill, Gu Qing went down the mountain and headed straight for Changping County.

When Gu Qing finally found Qingfeng Inn, before she could even enter, a scarred man dressed in black robes walked out with his hands behind his back. His expression was indifferent, and his whole being exuded a sinister aura, causing those around him to give way.

Behind him followed several burly, fierce-looking men with menacing eyes.

They are clearly ruthless people who would kill others.

Gu Qing hadn't really bothered to look any further, but someone suddenly spoke up beside the man in black robes, "Brother, why are you giving them more time? What if they manage to borrow money? Wouldn't we be missing out on a golden opportunity?"

"What do you know? You're all just amateurs and side practitioners. Who can help whom? If he had someone to lend him money, why would he come to me?"

The man in the black robe spoke in a deep voice, exuding a confident certainty.

Then he added, "Moreover, do you know that a father's love is as strong as a mountain? For his son's cultivation at Wufeng Temple, he would never rob Peter to pay Paul."

Done.

The group gradually walked away into the distance.

Wherever it goes, pedestrians avoid it.

At this moment, Gu Qing frowned, feeling as if these words were being spoken about their family.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing hurriedly entered the shop, asked the waiter, and went straight to the room on the second floor. Before she even reached the door, she could clearly hear her father and mother's worried words.
