The next morning, Yu Qingshuang ate with her bowl in hand.
The spirit plant elder took the medicinal
Chen Qing gritted his teeth. "It doesn't hurt!"
The spirit plant elder applied the medicinal wine as he said, "Chen Qing, don't blame your senior sister for being ruthless. Learning the sword is a job that's almost as tiring as killing someone."
After saying that, the spirit plant elder glanced at Yu Qingshuang. "You too. It's his first day learning the sword. Can't you go easy a little!"
Yu Qingshuang ate with her head lowered. Chen Qing said, "It's fine. Senior Sister taught me well."
After the "battle" with Yu Qingshuang last night, Chen Qing finally had a clear understanding of his combat strength.
He couldn't say that he couldn't win.
After all, he had never retaliated.
Yu Qingshuang did not use the Sword Gu at all, nor did she use her cultivation to suppress him. Even if she beat him up, he would not be able to retaliate.
If Yu Qingshuang really attacked, it would be belittling her to say that she was a humanoid ferocious beast.
To put it modestly, she was a killing machine.
With how fierce Yu Qingshuang was, the spirit plant elder was still worried about letting her go out to train. It was better for someone like her to stay on the mountain obediently.
After putting on his clothes and having breakfast, Chen Qing looked at himself in the mirror.
Heh, although Yu Qingshuang was ruthless, there was nothing wrong with his face.
He went to the spirit ginseng field to take care of the spirit ginseng. Looking at the spirit ginseng that was gradually sprouting, Chen Qing dragged his ravaged "corpse" to the spirit plant hall.
After finding a quiet room, Chen Qing sat cross-legged, and fed Wine Gu the last bit of red silver.
With this, it should be able to advance to rank seven.
After keeping Wine Gu into his body, Chen Qing drank a large mouthful of spirit ginseng wine, and began to cultivate with his legs crossed, recovering the spiritual qi in his body.
Four hours later, Chen Qing felt a throbbing in his body as Wine Gu appeared in his palm.
It twisted and suddenly froze.
Chen Qing reached out and pressed it. It had hardened, and was about to shed its skin.
Two hours slowly passed, the white Wine Gu crawled out of its shell. It had grown fatter.
[Mortal-grade Wine Gu]
Quality: Rank seven
Lifespan: 24/64
Effect: Temper the essence of the spirit ginseng, condense it into ginseng wine, and slightly increase the quality of the ginseng wine.
[Growth Requirement:
Growth Progress: 0/100

In the past, the Wine Gu had looked like a winter melon, but now it looked like a wine jar.
It really fitted its name.
There were also sago cycad's stamens in the spirit plant garden. Chen Qing would find an opportunity to touch one.
Just as he kept Wine Gu into his body, there was a commotion outside.
"What happened?"
"Quickly go and invite the hall master and elders!"
"Cover the wound!"
When Chen Qing heard this, he opened the door of the quiet room, and walked straight in the direction of the voices.
When they realized that Chen Qing had come, other than Wang Ye, who was pressing on Xie Dayou's wound, everyone else dispersed. "Hall Master!"
Xie
Chen Qing stepped forward and reached out to tap two of Xie Dayou's acupuncture points to stop the bleeding temporarily.
"Did someone go get the elders?"
Wang Ye said, "I've already sent someone."
Chen Qing nodded, took out his wine gourd, and handed it to Xie Dayou. "Senior Brother Xie, have a sip first."
Xie Dayou didn't waste any time, and drank a mouthful of spirit ginseng wine.
Chen Qing picked up the wine gourd and opened the wound. The flesh on Xie Dayou's thigh was flipped outwards, revealing a deep blade wound.
As Chen Qing washed his wounds with wine, he asked, "Senior Brother Xie, what happened?"
Xie Dayou said, "It was an ordinary mission, but I and the disciple of the Lotus Cave who took the mission together with me discovered a twolife flower during the mission.
"We originally agreed to sell it and split 50-50, but who knew that guy would actually collude with the other disciples of the Lotus Cave!
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and cut off one of that fellow's arm.
"Unfortunately, he escaped.
"Hall Master Chen, can I still keep my leg?"
Chen Qing cleaned and sewed the wound. "We'll talk about it when the spirit plant elder comes."
After a while, the spirit plant elder arrived. He opened his hand, and a jade green Gu insect flew out, landing on Xie Dayou's thigh and fusing into his body.
Chen Qing clearly saw Xie Dayou's thigh light up.
The spirit plant elder had a Rejuvenation Gu?
Beads of sweat appeared on the spirit plant elder's head, and he only stopped after half an hour. "Hmm, who treated this wound?"
Chen Qing cupped his hands, and said, "I did it!"
The spirit plant elder smiled. "I didn't expect you to have this ability!
"If you had not dealt with it in advance and saved his leg, even with my Rejuvenation Gu, it would have been useless!"
Chen Qing thought to himself, 'Isn't this common sense?'
"Before I went up the mountain, I learned some medical skills."
Xie Dayou was extremely grateful. "Thank you, Hall Master, Elder."
The spirit plant elder did not take the credit. "If you want to thank someone, thank Chen Qing. If it weren't for him stopping his injuries, I wouldn't have been able to save your leg."
Xie Dayou thanked Chen Qing again.
After instructing someone to send Xie Dayou to the ward of the spirit plant hall, Chen Qing said, "Wash his wound with wine every day and apply medicine!"
On the way back with the spirit plant elder, Chen Qing thought to himself, 'The outside world is really not peaceful.'
There had been a lot of friction between Lotus Cave and Carefree Mountain recently. A huge battle would probably break out soon.
He had to hurry up and learn the sword.
As for going to the battlefield, he was not interested, and the higher-ups of Carefree Mountain probably did not have the thoughts of sending him there, either.
Wasn't it a joke to send a person who could make money out to kill enemies?
Those who were good at fighting did not have any outstanding achievements.
True experts would not easily attack. They would avoid it if they could.
This was the way to survive.
For the past few days, even when he went down the mountain to buy upgrade materials for his wine darling, Chen Qing brought Li He and Wang Ye along.
At the foot of the mountain, it was really not peaceful.
Three days later, there was suddenly chaos at the foot of the mountain. Chen Qing snapped out from his cultivation, and pushed open the door of the quiet room. He asked, "What happened?"
Wang Ye said, "The people from the Lotus Cave have come to apologize. Many of our fellow disciples who have nothing to do have gone over to watch the show."
Chen Qing wanted to see how they'd make amends. He planned to watch from afar and not approach.
Just as he reached the path down the mountain, and was still more than 60 meters away from the mountain gate, Chen Qing felt his shoulders being lifted, and his entire body felt light.
Just as he was about to shout, he turned his head and saw that it was Feng Qi.
Feng Qi grabbed his shoulder, and the two of them landed steadily on a branch of a pine tree. "Junior Brother Chen, you're here to watch the show too?"
Chen Qing nodded.
Feng Qi picked up his pipe and took a puff. He leaned against the pine tree trunk. "Junior Brother Chen, you're not good at fighting. Just watch from afar."
There were many people in front, and many Carefree Mountain disciples had come over.
He saw a disciple of Lotus Cave in front of him carrying a dispirited cultivator with a severed arm. He strode to the entrance of Carefree Mountain.
He raised his hand and cut off the head of the one-armed cultivator. Instantly, blood splattered on the mountain gate, dyeing the mountain gate of Carefree Mountain red.
Was this an apology?
This was clearly a provocation, okay?
The disciple of Lotus Cave smiled insincerely and cupped his hands. "We've offended Carefree Mountain. Today, I'm here to apologize for our mistake!"
After saying that, the disciple of the Lotus Cave left behind a mangled corpse.
Who knew if it was the disciple who attacked Xie Dayou.
Chen Qing jumped down from the pine tree. When he landed, he heard Feng Qi say sinisterly, "They're really courting death by coming to my Wuyou Mountain."
Chen Qing turned around and was about to return to his spirit plant hall when he heard Feng Qi's voice coming from behind. "Junior Brother, you can go on now."
Chen Qing silently cupped his hands, and prepared to move with Li He and Wang Ye.
A war was about to break out.
