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

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Come with me!

As soon as Li Fu arrived, he hurriedly pulled Gu Qing back.

"What?"

Gu Qing's gaze fell on the jade brocade box in Li Fu's hand, and he tried to use the Corpse-Eating Insect's senses to probe inside.

With this probe, the Corpse-Eating Insect's divine sense easily penetrated the brocade box, but when it landed on the object inside, it instantly sensed an extremely special power, which gave it a slight feeling of pleasure and quickly transmitted to its Yin body.

"What is this? It can actually make my Hundred-Refined Yin Body suddenly react." With curiosity, Gu Qing stared intently.

It was a piece of jade.

Crystal white.

Yet, the texture of the flesh intertwines within it.

But it had no meaty aroma at all.

Li Fu hurriedly returned to the inner courtyard. As soon as they got back to their residence, Li Fu couldn't wait to say, "You're in for a treat again, kid."

"Monster meat?" Gu Qing tried to ask.

Li Fu shook his head and said, "If it were really monster flesh, would I dare let you guess? I have so much Five Elements Divine Sand that I don't know what to do with it!"

"That is?"

"Spiritual Beast Spiritual Body"

"A spirit beast with a blessed spirit body?"

Gu Qing frowned.

This was the first time he had ever heard of this.

"The so-called spirits and monsters are wild beasts, flowers, trees and plants in the mountains that have become spirits by chance. In essence, they are no different from the miscellaneous and unorthodox schools. But the spirit beasts are different. The spirit beasts are born of heaven and earth, accompanied by auspicious omens. They are the wonders of heaven and earth."

The spirit beast's spirit body is the remains of a spirit beast after its death. It's called the "Fortune Spirit Body," and even eating just a bite can increase one's fortune and luck, bringing endless benefits. If one can eat a whole piece, the physical body gains spiritual energy, significantly reducing obstacles in cultivation.

Gu Qing was taken aback.

If what Li Fu said is true, then wouldn't this spirit beast Fu Ling body be more valuable than the Yin artifact?

"I can't accept this!"

Gu Qing shook her head and refused.

Li Fu quickly dissuaded him, saying, "Listen to me, eat it. No matter how valuable it is, it's not as valuable as you saving my life."

"That won't work either."

"Don't worry, my father sent me back a large piece; this is only a small portion... I still have some left!"

Li Fu quickly explained.

The spirit beast's body is indeed precious, and there is no market for it.

This would be of great benefit to him, as he had been stuck at the third level of Qi Refining for seven or eight years due to his inferior spiritual root.

That barrier was like a mountain; no matter how much he cultivated, he could never overcome it.

If his dantian had not been injured, he could have reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining by accumulating resources. However, since being attacked by a thief several years ago and damaging his dantian, he can only maintain his cultivation level and cannot make any further progress.

In order to help him find something to help him break through his cultivation level, his father resolutely chose to go out and gain experience when his lifespan was running out.

Now that he has finally found a somewhat useful spirit body, he is not in a hurry to eat it.

Last night, after weighing the options repeatedly, he finally decided to give it to Gu Qing.

Because of the Blessed Spirit Body, at most it can only allow him to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and further cultivation will still be difficult.

Instead of struggling like this, it's better to accept reality and use the blessed spirit body to invest in Gu Qing, whose future is promising.

"Alright, alright, we're all men, be straightforward. You already owe me so much, a little more won't make a difference."

Li Fu pretended to be angry and took a step to leave.

Gu Qing tried to press Li Fu for the value of the product, but Li Fu didn't mention a single word.

It was precisely because Li Fu didn't mention it at all that Gu Qing understood the preciousness of Fu Ling's body even more.

"Thank you, Master Li."

Gu Qing raised his hands in a fist salute, no longer refusing.

Just moments before, when the brocade box was opened, both the Hollow Stag Beetle and the Forbidden Word Beetle simultaneously felt an intense craving for it. This craving was like that of a person on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert suddenly seeing a spring.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Li Fuben was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the news he had just received that day.

Gu Qing responded, "Master Li, please feel free to speak."

"It's not about asking you to do anything," Li Fu said again, "but rather that the people sent by Xuanqing Academy to Changping County have appeared in the neighboring county."

"When did this happen?"

Gu Qing hurriedly pressed for more information.

Li Fu stated frankly, "It was after Vice Abbot Lü left Wufeng Temple, but that's not important. What's important is who he is."

"Who?"

"Xing Jiutian is the top Qi cultivator in Tianhai County. He is undoubtedly the number one Qi cultivator in the entire Tianhai County. He reached the Qi Refining Perfection realm ten years ago, but he has not yet established his Foundation. It is said that he is preparing to compete for the Tianhai Blessed Life Dao Fruit, which appears only once every thirty years, which is why he has not yet established his Foundation."

Hearing this, Gu Qing's heart tightened.

The Heavenly Sea Blessing Dao Fruit is briefly mentioned in the True Method of Foundation Building for Worms Without Return, and it is a special Dao Fruit just like the Dao Fruit of Ultimate Gluttony Without Return. The Dao Fruit of Ultimate Gluttony Without Return appears once every hundred years, while the Dao Fruit of Heavenly Sea Blessing appears once every thirty years.

This means that in thirty years, only one cultivator who has reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage can obtain this Dao Fruit and establish their foundation.

It is far more powerful than ordinary Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits.

It can also allow cultivators to go further.

The True Method of Foundation Building for Insects Without Return states that the path to immortality through the Golden Elixir may lie in these rare Foundation Building Fruits.

"It seems that this number one Qi cultivator in Tianhai County is most likely after immortality," Gu Qing thought to himself.

Just then, Li Fu said again, "You don't need to know what the Foundation Establishment Dao Fruit is; that's too far away for you. You only need to know one thing... If you can catch his eye, you'll be able to go much further after entering the Xuanqing Academy!"

"Master Li, I also have something I'd like to ask you." As soon as Li Fu brought up the topic, Gu Qing immediately thought of the early assessment.

"Borrowing Five Elements Divine Sand again?" Li Fu's face immediately showed helplessness. "I really don't have any... Sigh, never mind... How much do you need? I'll try to borrow some for you. When do you need it?"

"It's not about borrowing the Five Elements Divine Sand." Gu Qing shook his head.

Look at this stereotype, is he the kind of person who would ask to borrow money right away?

Gu Qing then asked, "I would like to ask how to skip the one-year assessment period, as a year is a bit too long for me."

"A year is too long? You can only master one spell in a year at most." Li Fugang's expression froze instantly after he finished speaking.

Because Gu Qing revealed his cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining.

Although Gu Qing used concealment techniques to hide most of his aura, his genuine Qi Refining Level 2 cultivation still made Li Fu's expression freeze.

"you……"

Li Fu was speechless for a moment.

Many words are on the tip of my tongue, but I can't utter a single one.

"You little brat, you've shortened your own lifespan?" After a long pause, Li Fu could only utter this one sentence.

The reason is that in such a short time, one can probably only improve so quickly by expending one's own lifespan to cultivate.

Gu Qing didn't explain, she just shook her head.

Li Fu was speechless again.

obviously.

The truth is even harder to accept.

"How exactly did you cultivate, kid... Even with abundant resources, it took me over ten years to reach the second level of Qi Refining!"

Gu Qing still didn't explain, but only pressed, "Master Li, do you have time?"

"A year is indeed too long for you." Li Fu fell into deep thought, but instead of saying anything to make Gu Qing happy, he poured cold water on her, "First of all, it is certain that your talent cannot be known to a third party. Once others find out, you will inevitably become the target of someone else's possession."

"Please enlighten me, Master Li."

Gu Qing raised her hand.

Li Fu quickly emphasized, "Especially, Xing Jiutian mustn't find out!"

Why?

Gu Qing was taken aback.
