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

"One jin!"

"have."

Li Fu hurriedly began rummaging through his storage bag, handing over a pound first, but it took him half a day to gather the remaining pound.

"Master Li, I will definitely repay you when I am financially well-off." Gu Qing felt somewhat reluctant as he watched Li Fu trying so hard to lend him the spirit sand.

Neither of them are wealthy.

But Li Fu waved his hand dismissively, "We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later... It's unbelievable that Uncle Lu is willing to give you a Tier 1 alien insect. He usually treats those alien insects like treasures, and I can only take a peek at them."

"It's all thanks to Master Li," Gu Qing said, flattering him again.

Li Fu quickly poured Gu Qing another cup of wine and said with a smile, "I really love listening to what you have to say, lad."

"State the facts."

Gu Qing raised his glass.

Li Fu also raised his glass.

……

After having a few drinks, Gu Qing bid farewell to Li Fu and headed straight for Changping County.

Today he is not only going to buy genitalia, but also going home to tell his parents the good news.

Gu Qing felt that joy was not something she could share with others, but if she didn't share it with her family, it wouldn't be perfect.

When they arrived at the Hundred Weapons Pavilion, the Daoist boy on the first level of Qi Refining, who was guarding downstairs, saw Gu Qing holding up the Sword Offering Daoist Boy and hurriedly and very attentively welcomed him inside.

Although both of them were at the first level of Qi Refining, the identities of the Daoist boy and the Sword-Bearing Daoist boy were completely different.

"Brother Dao, what would you like to order?"

Gu Qing said, "I want a first-tier Yin artifact for raising insects."

Please come upstairs with me.

The young Taoist priest hurriedly invited Gu Qing to a private room in the pavilion. He first sent a maid to serve tea, and then took out a book of pictures of genitalia, intending to introduce it to Gu Qing.

However, before making the introduction, he cautiously apologized.

"Brother Dao, there aren't many Daoist priests in our temple who can forge Yin artifacts, so the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion doesn't have many first-tier Yin artifacts for raising insects. Please forgive us."

Looking at the other party's cautious demeanor, Gu Qing was immediately reminded of the time when the Taoist acolytes faced the Taoist masters in the temple.

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same path."

Upon hearing this...

A hint of surprise flashed in the young Taoist's eyes; he clearly hadn't expected Gu Qing to soothe his nervousness.

This was the first time he had encountered this.

Concealing his surprise, the young Daoist immediately explained the Yin artifact in detail: "Brother Daoist, this first Yin artifact is called the Earth Yin Insect Nest Urn. It is cast from Yin soil from the Earth Yin region, naturally close to the Yin energy of the earth veins, making it twice as effective for nurturing insects with half the effort. You only need to nourish it with the blood of five kinds of animals every day to create the most comfortable nurturing environment for exotic insects."

However, there are some drawbacks. It can only house one type of alien insect, and it's only suitable for raising more ferocious ones. If the insect is too docile, it will be corrupted by the malevolent energy nurtured within, leading to the opposite effect.

After speaking, the young Taoist wanted to introduce the second Yin artifact, but Gu Qing stopped him, because the first one was exactly what he wanted.

He plans to place the Corpse-Eating Worms in Fufeng Forest and only carry the Shattered Void Shovel Beetle with him, so he only needs one Tier 1 Yin Artifact.

Compared to the Yin organs, Fufeng Forest is the corpse-eating worm's favorite place.

"This is the one."

The young Taoist nodded and hurriedly said, "This earth yin insect nest urn is priced at five elements divine sand, but I can give you a 20% discount, which is one pound and six ounces."

"OK."

Without hesitation, Gu Qing left behind four ounces of Five Elements Divine Sand and handed over the rest.

Not long after.

The young Taoist priest then hurriedly returned to the private room with the yin artifact.

"Brother Dao, this is your yin organ." The Daoist boy presented Gu Qing with a black pottery urn the size of a palm.

After Gu Qing took it, he rushed inside and immediately felt the chilling, sinister aura that sent shivers down his spine.

It was much colder than the nights in Fufeng Forest.

As Gu Qing placed the hollow stag beetle into the hole, he clearly felt its heartfelt joy.

Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction and immediately got up to leave.

"Goodbye."

The young Taoist priest escorted Gu Qing to the door, and only after Gu Qing's figure had completely disappeared did he begin to greet the next guest.

……

Not long after.

Gu Qing rode lightly out of the city, raising dust as he traveled ten miles east to a village called Gu Family Village.

The Gu family in Gujia Village refers to his Gu family.

However, not everyone in the village has the surname Gu. On the contrary, 99% of the people have a different surname, because Gu Family Village was originally just a secluded place for the Gu family to cultivate themselves. Over the decades, the Gu family cultivated some land and took in some refugees, so over time, this place of cultivation became Gu Family Village.

In the past, the villagers relied on growing spirit rice for the Gu family to make a living. Now, the ancestral land has been sold to other miscellaneous families and unorthodox sects, and the Gu family village is basically no longer owned by the Gu family.

Gu Qing's return was not only to bring good news; he also had another plan: to give his parents some money and find a way to redeem the land.

After all, it's ancestral property.

Moreover, parents also need a means of making a living and settling down.

His lifelong ambition was to become an immortal, and because of the daily evaluation panel, he was destined to go further and further astray.

After leaving Changping County, Gu Qing knew that her parents might not return until they passed away, so she planned to help them as much as possible before leaving. If possible, she hoped they could have another child to continue the family line.

After all, their cultivation paths had come to an end, so they might as well spend the rest of their lives like ordinary mortals.

As soon as you enter the village, villagers immediately start staring at you.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Qing, they all flocked over.

"Young Master Gu!"

"Young Master Gu, what brings you back?"

"I heard you've now entered the Wufeng Temple and become a legitimate member of the Taoist lineage. Doesn't that mean our Gu Family Village will have a Taoist master in the future?"

However, at a glance, Gu Qing could clearly sense that there weren't many young people left in the village.

It makes sense. The farmland had all been sold to other unconventional businesses, and those businesses already had plenty of manpower, so they were even less likely to hire people from Gujia Village. Naturally, the villagers had no means of making a living, and the young people had no choice but to go out or find other ways to make a living.

This is quite similar to his hometown in his previous life.

Just then, the group suddenly changed the subject.

"Young Master Gu, the constables have come to your house."

"Three or four constables."

"You should go back and take a look."

Upon hearing this...

Gu Qing's expression hardened.

Without even exchanging pleasantries with the villagers, he immediately spurred his horse and headed straight home.

Just as the eaves of his house came into view, several tall, magnificent horses with glossy coats suddenly appeared before him. Gu Qing looked closely and saw that the horses were covered in light armor with the character "捕" (meaning "capture") printed on it.

"Xue Chen?"

Gu Qing immediately pictured Xue Chen's face.

However, Gu Qing was not surprised, because he had long expected Xue Chen to investigate.

next moment.

Several voices could be heard coming from the courtyard from afar.

"Officer Xue, this is pre-rain tea from Niulan Mountain this year, please have a taste." It was Gu's mother's voice.

But all he received in response was Xue Chen's cold voice, "Gu Shenyan, I didn't expect you to not have escaped Changping County with your wife."

Undeterred, Gu's father retorted, "My family has never committed any crimes, so why should we flee?"

"You didn't do it? You went to pay off your debts a couple of days ago, but you had a very unpleasant argument with that Taoist Zhongli. He died that very night after you left. Do you dare say you have nothing to do with it?" Xue Chen questioned coldly, seemingly certain that Gu's father was the murderer.

"If I wanted to kill Zhong Li, why didn't I do it earlier or later, but instead did it on the very day I was repaying the money? If I wanted to kill him, why did I bother borrowing money from a friend?" Gu Shenyan argued logically, asking a series of questions.

however.

Xue Chen, however, was unwilling to say anything more.

They didn't even intend to use the Mind-Asking Technique.

"Enough with the nonsense, come with me to the yamen!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chen raised his hand and several constables surrounded him.
