Chapter 220 Second-class qualification!
"Is this the super root bone?"
Zhou Qing was a little dazed. He didn't expect that his Gu Master qualification had not been improved yet. Instead, he completely activated the power of his bloodline with the help of the Soul-Subduing Gu and awakened the super root bone.
He felt that his body had undergone some changes from the inside out.
At this time, more text prompts appeared in his sight.
[Ice Muscle and Jade Bone: The super root bone awakened with the help of the Soul-Subduing Gu and the Ice Soul Black Spider bloodline can maximize the power of the Ice Soul Black Spider's bloodline, greatly improve the physical defense, and greatly improve the speed when practicing water, wood, and ice attribute martial arts. Your meridians are more resilient, and your blood is purer. Before breaking through the three flowers, there will be no bottleneck. When breaking through the big bottleneck, the probability of being disturbed by the inner demon is reduced. 】
"There is no bottleneck before the three flowers gather at the top. You only need to pile up resources to practice to twelve blood exchanges at the fastest speed!"
Looking at the effect of ice muscle and jade bone, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.
He practiced various techniques and finally raised his physique to the top level. With the help of the Wood Spirit, his physique was comparable to the top level.
Later, he practiced the Ice Evil Gu. With the help of the [Mysterious Ice Body] brought by the Ice Evil Gu, he practiced ice, water, and wood attribute techniques and martial arts, and obtained the effect of super physique, but it was not a real super physique after all, and he had to continue to activate the Ice Evil Gu.
Now Zhou Qing can still hold the Soul-Subduing Gu for twenty years, and maybe he can raise his physique to the terrifying level of a spirit body.
The so-called spirit body is born with a high affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
According to the records in the classics, as long as the warriors with spirit bodies do not die in the middle, they can practice all the way to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top without any obstacles, and will only encounter bottlenecks when they impact the Five Qis Converging to the Origin.
However, even if there is a bottleneck, it is easier to break through than most warriors.
Moreover, it is easier to condense evil spirits with spirit bodies.
The Three Flowers Gathering in the Tripod condenses the three flowers of heaven, earth, and man.
The Five Qis Converging to the Origin leads to the five evil spirits of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
High-level warriors are in harmony with the heaven and earth, and all great powers belong to themselves. They are not inferior to Gu Masters at all, and even better in some aspects.
However, for Zhou Qing, both martial arts and Gu Dao are just means of protecting the Dao.
Now that he has awakened his super-genbone, he has pointed out a shortcut to the high level.
In the past few months, he has cultivated to the perfection of three blood exchanges, but was stuck by the bottleneck of the blood and blood smoke realm.
Although it didn't take long for Zhou Qing to break through to the three blood exchanges, his cultivation speed was already very fast, but he was not satisfied.
Now that there is no bottleneck, the cultivation speed can be further improved.
Zhou Qing collected the soul-climbing Gu into the Yuanqiao and nurtured it with true essence.
Only one-tenth of the blood essence of the Ice Soul Black Spider was used, and the rest was slowly absorbed, which could always improve the Gu Master's qualifications and warrior qualifications.
"This time it's a blessing in disguise."
Zhou Qing looked at the soul-climbing Gu, which had become much lighter in color, and was in a good mood, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
If there was a chance, Zhou Qing would not mind avenging the two people for intercepting the Soul-Subduing Gu.
This time, Zhou Qing turned a disaster into a blessing, only because he had enough cards.
Otherwise, the Soul-Subduing Gu that he had planned for several years would be useless.
Wu Hongyang and Wu Xia are both mid-level second-level Gu Masters, and their strength is unknown.
But since the two came on the third-level Tianniu Gu, it means that they are valued by the second-generation rich, and their strength should exceed that of Gu Masters of the same level.
However, the true essence required for the third-level combat Gu worm is too much.
The third-level combat Gu worm can drain a second-level peak Gu Master in an instant, unless it is a second-level peak Gu Master with first-class qualifications, it can barely activate it once.
This is the gap between the second and third levels, which is like a natural chasm.
As for the third-level consumable Gu worm, it is not something that ordinary third-level Gu Masters can afford, let alone submit it to second-level Gu Masters.
What's more, most of the third-level consumable Gu worms contain the power of heaven and earth. Once it explodes, the user may die first.
Although the Longicorn Gu is a third-level Gu worm, it does not have much combat power, but it is extremely fast.
"It's time to go back."
Zhou Qing looked at the sky in the distance, put away the Gu worm, and quickly rushed to the direction of Bingyun Village.
When he rushed back to the village, the sky was bright.
Zhou Qing returned home, rested for a while, and then began the next practice.
In just a few days, Zhou Qing naturally broke through to the fourth blood exchange, the state of blood and qi smoke, and his strength increased greatly.
That night, Zhou Qing left the village again and ran to the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away.
Buzz!
Zhou Qing stood in the forest, his blood and qi were boiling, and strong blood and qi gushed out from his skin and pores, and finally turned into blood-colored smoke and soared into the sky, gathering above his head, forming a blood-colored mist that looked like a substance, and looked like a wolf smoke from a distance.
However, Zhou Qing's blood and qi smoke was purple inside, faintly condensing towards the shape of a dragon.
Not only that, as Zhou Qing burst out with all his strength, his blood and qi began to condense on his body surface, and finally turned into a translucent lavender gas shield, with black smoke rising from it, which looked extremely strange.
Zhou Qing came to a big tree, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the trunk. The whole tree quickly turned black, withered, and turned into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is this the Poison Dragon's True Qi?" Zhou Qing's eyes condensed. He didn't expect that he had successfully condensed the Poison Dragon's True Qi in the state of blood and qi, and could release the poison stored in the Poison Dragon's blood capsule at any time.
Not to mention the attack and defense power of this Poison Dragon's True Qi, the instantaneous poison alone can catch most warriors off guard. If used for sneak attacks, it is the best choice.
His poisonous dragon blood sac has not yet stored the poisonous poison of the Sky Poison Insect, yet it has such power.
If the tiger demon Tai Sui had to wait until Tai Sui absorbed the poisonous poison of the Sky Poison Insect, and then used Tai Sui meat to adapt to the poison, it is hard to imagine how much the toxicity would be increased, and it might be able to rival the living Sky Poison Insect.
In order to test the change in strength, Zhou Qing released the Skyfire Centipede.
"Chi Yan, come on, let me see if you have made any progress recently."
Zhou Qing waved to Chi Yan.
"Hiss!" The Skyfire Centipede hissed excitedly. Hundreds of legs swam in unison. Fire attribute essence began to condense around its body, and violent airflow spurted out.
clang! clang! clang!
Zhou Qing had the Poison Dragon Zhen Gang attached to his body, and he used his physical strength to fight hand-to-hand with the Sky Fire Centipede. His punches hit the flesh, and the Sky Fire Centipede's carapace shook violently, making him dizzy.
Zhou Qing felt his blood boiling in his body. Compared with the Gu Master's fighting style, the warrior's fighting style made people's blood surge more easily.
However, when Zhou Qing felt his blood rushing to his head and was extremely excited, a cold breath appeared in his mind, calming him down from his excitement.
"Ice muscle and jade bone?" Zhou Qing came back to his senses and looked at the slightly dented fist mark on the Skyfire Centipede's carapace. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't let me go. Haven't you eaten? Is this all you can do?"
"Hiss——!" The Heavenly Fire Centipede raised its upper body high, and a large amount of true energy gathered in its mouth. The terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Fire Centipede made the surrounding air slightly distorted.
Zhou Qing's heart was awe-inspiring, and the feeling of facing Qian Tianzhen's fire was completely different from when facing the enemy.
boom!
A ball of highly condensed true energy, like a fireball, shot out from the mouth of the Sky Fire Centipede, and instantly hit the Poison Dragon True Gang attached to Zhou Qing's body. Before he could react, he was blown away and broken. Only seven or eight large trees, as thick as each other's arms, stopped.
"You're serious!"
A big hole was punched out of the front of Poison Dragon Zhen Gang, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"Come again! Come again!"
Facing Zhou Qing's request, the Skyfire Centipede arrived in an instant, its tail fell heavily like a long whip, and slammed towards Zhou Qing's body.
boom!
Along with a roaring sound, Zhou Qing's body was blown ten meters away by the biting wind.
"Stab it!"
He tore open the torn sleeve and saw a clear red mark on his right arm, bleeding faintly.
"Now I can fight against the same level with my physical body alone."
Zhou Qing smiled.
The Skyfire Centipede has absorbed the degenerated fire attribute god species. Among the second-level mid-level Gu insects, its combat power and defense power are considered top-notch.
Although it did not use all its strength just now, it was not something that ordinary warriors in the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke Realm could defeat.
With the sharpness of his steps, he was unable to defeat Zhou Qing in one fell swoop. In a real battle, Zhou Qing would naturally not stand still and resist the enemy's attack.
Moreover, in order to test the improvement in strength brought about by this breakthrough, Zhou Qing did not activate the power of his bloodline to release the cold energy of ice, otherwise there would be no marks on his hands.
The terrifying defensive power brought by the Poison Dragon Golden Body technique alone can make Zhou Qing proud of his peers.
"Hiss~"
Seeing that Zhou Qing was injured, the Skyfire Centipede shrank in size and turned into a small centipede about a foot long. It crawled to Zhou Qing's trouser legs and rubbed his body intimately.
"You are quite discerning." Zhou Qing scolded with a smile, stretched out his hand and grabbed the Skyfire Centipede.
"Have you changed?"
Zhou Qing looked at the Skyfire Centipede in front of him and was slightly startled. He found that the color of the Skyfire Centipede seemed to have changed, and its carapace glowed with a carnelian-like luster.
He looked intently and realized that the Skyfire Centipede had reached the edge of evolution.
[Refining: Skyfire Centipede]
[Grade: Second-grade mid-grade (can evolve, can be refined)]
[Progress: Complete (755/800)]
"It seems that the fragment of the degraded fire-attributed god is very suitable for you."
Zhou Qing murmured.
Thinking of this, he checked the growth progress of Ice Evil Gu through the Jade Wat.
[Refining: Ice Evil Gu]
[Grade: Second-grade mid-grade (can evolve, can be refined)]
[Progress: Complete (584/800)]
"It seems that it will take more than half a year for the Ice Fiend Gu to evolve. The Skyfire Centipede may evolve in the next few months."
Zhou Qing thought secretly.
The Ice Evil Gu only needs to be fed with the essence and blood of the Ice Soul Spider, but it does not refine the Ice Soul Spider's essence and blood very quickly, and it also consumes a large amount of Yuan Stone, so it needs time.
As for the Skyfire Centipede, it may be because of the role of the degenerate god species that it came from behind.
"It seems that when the Skyfire Centipede evolves, I will have the capital to return to southern Xinjiang."
Zhou Qing was thinking that if he could obtain a few more fragments of the degenerate god species, he might be able to reach the peak of the second level as quickly as possible.
It has been nearly a year and a half since he came to Bingyun Village.
"I wonder how Master and the others are doing, as well as Grandma and Qingqing."
Zhou Qing thought of his old friend from Nanli County.
After he got the spirit-spelling Gu, the emotion of returning home kept flooding into his heart, and he thought of many things in the past.
"Let's wait until this happens."
After a while, Zhou Qing regained his composure. To be on the safe side, he waited for the Ice Fiend Gu to evolve together before leaving Bingyun Village.
Two second-level high-grade combat-type Gu insects, and the Ice Evil Gu can also increase the power of his bloodline. Coupled with his Gu Dao cultivation, it should be enough for him to have the power to protect himself when facing the second-level peak powerhouse.
And he went back this time just to pull Wei Sheng and the others out of the quagmire of the Five Poison Sect, and he didn't need to be an enemy of the second-level peak strongman.
"It would be great if I could get the Tianniu Gu."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh. If he had a third-level Tianniu Gu in his hand, he could run away at any time unless he encountered a third-level strongman.
Unfortunately, Wu Hongyang and Wu Xia basically stayed in Bingyun Village and went out together.
Without absolute certainty, Zhou Qing would not take action.
At dawn, Zhou Qing returned to the village. Thinking that the rations of the four wine bugs were running low, he went to the restaurant to buy fine wine, but found that all the good wine was sold out.
"Young Master Wu, please slow down!"
Just as Zhou Qing was about to leave, a familiar voice came from the second floor of the restaurant.
I saw several tribesmen surrounding a young Gu master, Wu Hongyang, who was drunk and his steps were a little unsteady.
And the person next to him was supporting him, with a flattering face.
This person had dark skin and ugly appearance. It was Wanqi Qingshi.
As the group of people walked down the stairs, Wanqi Qingshi saw Zhou Qing standing in front of the counter. His smile froze, and he nodded to Zhou Qing. Then he helped Wu Hongyang out of the restaurant.
Zhou Qing walked out of the restaurant, looked at the backs of several people, and then turned and left.
However, what Zhou Qing didn't expect was that Wanqi Qingshi came to his door that night.
"Zongzheng, I'm sorry, please don't blame me."
Wanqi Qingshi apologized to Zhou Qing as soon as he arrived.
"Why apologize?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.
"I know that Wu Hongyang took your quota to use the spirit-falling Gu, and he has a grudge against you," Wanqi Qingshi said hurriedly.
"This is nothing, let alone a grudge." Zhou Qing's tone was light. Although his relationship with Wanqi Qingshi was greatly eased because of the trip to the Falling Immortal Valley, they were not friends. He would naturally take revenge, but he would not talk about it.
"I am only a third-class talent. If there is no opportunity, there is no hope of breaking through the third level, and even the hope of breaking through the second level is not great. Wu Hongyang promised to give me a place to enter the Jinhong Road, so... I'm sorry!" Wanqi Qingshi looked gloomy and apologized again.
"I only hope that the Gu Dao will be long-lasting." Zhou Qing smiled faintly, without saying much, turned around and went back home.
He didn't blame Wanqi Qingshi at all.
Because everyone's situation is different, some people have no choice.
Of course, maybe Wanqi Qingshi is not important to him.
"I hope it won't affect you." Zhou Qing went back upstairs and looked out from the railing.
If there is a chance, he will not let Wu Hongyang and Wu Xia go.
As for whether it affects Wanqi Qingshi's entry into the Jinhong Road, it has nothing to do with him.
Half a year is not long, but not short.
That night, Zhou Qing used the Jiangling Gu to restore some of his vitality again.
This time, his Yuanqiao had undergone a huge change. The calm Zhenyuan Lake was surging, and Zhenyuan increased out of thin air. Zhenyuan, which was just over half, now quickly occupied more than three-quarters of the Yuanqiao area.
"Second-class qualification, it's done!"
Zhou Qing's eyes were full of excitement.
