Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Strange phenomenon? But why does it look to me like a big bump caused by a beating?" someone asked suspiciously.

"Don't talk nonsense. That's truly an unusual sign. Do you know what 'outstanding' means?" The middle-aged man explained as he fought, "Look at the two bumps on the left and right sides of her eyebrows. They're like two dragon horns that haven't yet keratinized. That's outstanding. This sign indicates wealth and nobility. She could even be the reincarnation of a saint!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was shocked. They stopped fighting and looked at Yongqing Hou who was passing by them quickly with surprised and suspicious eyes.

Saints only exist in myths and legends. Now that Yongqing Hou is associated with the words "reincarnation of a saint", it naturally attracts people's attention.

A group of people stared with frowns, wondering if a saint was really going to appear in their Qian country?

"His appearance is indeed very consistent with the descriptions of the saints in ancient books."

"No matter if she is the reincarnation of a saint or not, she is destined to be rich or noble. The future achievements of Yongqing Hou are destined to be immeasurable. You must build a good relationship with her and don't make enemies with her easily, understand?" An old sealer earnestly warned the juniors around him.

Listening to the occasional discussions around him, Yongqing Hou's face darkened. He couldn't help but curse, "You are such a prominent figure! Your whole family is so prominent!"

She chased after Gu Chi and the others at full speed in the direction they fled, hating the man and the dog to the core.

However, there was a field suppression here, and Gu Chi and the big black dog relied on the 20 points of [Strength] attribute added to their physical strength, and were not suppressed too much. After changing the direction of escape several times, they got rid of the group of people headed by Yong Qinghou behind them.

They escaped from the Hundred Medicine Garden. After being freed from the suppression of the laws, they immediately sacrificed the Cuo Yuqie, flew on their swords, and rushed towards the outer area of ​​the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm.

After flying for three days, Gu Chi felt that he was far enough away, so he landed on a cliff to rest.

"Hehe, we have obtained the herbs needed to refine the foundation-building pill." Gu Chi took off the special storage bag hanging around his waist and took out four black ice flowers. There was joy in his eyes and that of the big black dog.

Their main purpose of coming to Beiyin Mountain was to obtain these medicinal herbs, and the others were just unexpected gains in the process of completing the main task.

The big black dog's mouth was stretched all the way to the back of its ears, and it was laughing foolishly with its big tongue hanging out.

Gu Chi took out the foundation-building pill recipe, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Old Black, we are too happy too early, we still need two Xuanbing flowers."

Main medicine: three plants of Xuanbing Flowers, auxiliary medicine: one Tianling Fruit, two plants of Huanxin Grass, medicine guide: one plant of Qingling Grass. These are the quantities of herbs needed to refine a foundation-building pill.

There were extra auxiliary herbs and medicinal leads, but there were only four plants of the main herb, the Black Ice Flower, which was only enough to refine one foundation-building pill, and there was not even a chance for trial and error.

"It's okay, Sister Gu Chi, just eat first, I'm not in a hurry." said the big black dog.

Gu Chi shook his head and said, "This isn't a matter of who comes first, but rather that the number of Xuanbing flowers is too small, and we have no experience in alchemy. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to refine even one."

After saying this, she took the small black stone out of her storage bag and said, "You're a local. Apart from the Hundred Medicinal Garden, where else can you find the Mysterious Ice Flower?"

"I have never left the Divine Garden. How could I know whether it exists in other places?" Little Black Stone muttered.

"Are there any black ice flowers in the Baiyao Garden?" Gu Chi asked. If not, he would have to go back to the Baiyao Garden again.

Little Black Stone said: "I don't know, but there is one person who definitely knows."

Gu Chi asked, "Who?"

Little Black Stone said, "Spiritual Flower."

"Is that the medicinal king you mentioned before?"

According to Xiao Heishi, that King of Medicine often wanders around the Hundred Medicine Garden and must be very familiar with everything in the Divine Garden.

"To be honest, after I became intelligent, I had a fight with it and bit it. It couldn't beat me, so it ran away." Little Heishi talked about this past event.

"What! Ran away? Where did he run to?!" Gu Chi and the big black dog both looked nervous.

"Don't get excited... Don't get excited. I just said that it fled in a hurry. I didn't say it escaped from the Divine Garden. It should still be inside now." Little Black Stone explained hurriedly.

Gu Chi said: "You just said you bit it. Do you have a mouth and teeth? How did you bite it?"

"Who said I don't have a mouth and teeth? Look carefully!" The small black stone rolled a few times, and with a flash of light, a face actually appeared on the relatively flat surface.

It has a nose, eyes, mouth and teeth, and it is not a flat face like paper, but has highs and lows and clear edges and corners.

Gu Chi raised a new question and said, "You said you took a bite of the spiritual flower. What did you do with the spiritual medicine afterwards? Did you eat it? Were you able to eat it? Were you able to digest it?"

"Of course I ate it, but not in the way you understand it. To be more precise, I should call it refining it." Little Black Stone said proudly, "I buried the elixir in the soil, waited for it to turn into mud and sand, and then swallowed it and refined it. Isn't that smart?"

Gu Chi's mouth twitched, and he grabbed it and threw it to the ground, cursing, "Smart as a bastard! You're a spendthrift! That's a medicinal plant, rare in the world. You could have just taken a bite, but you buried it in the soil and waited until it turned into mud before eating it. You're simply wasting a gift from heaven!"

"Oh, stop hitting me, stop hitting me. This is the only way for us stones to obtain nutrients. You can't use your human standards to demand of me, a stone!" The little black stone screamed.

According to it, these stones only eat mud and sand, just like plants can only absorb nutrients from the soil. It is not picky, but it is the only way.

Not long after, Gu Chi drove the Cuo Yuqie on the road again, and decided to go back to Baiyao Garden to look for the whereabouts of the Xianling Flower and see if he could find a few more Xuanbing Flowers.

Three days later, when they stepped into this ancient medicine garden again, a strong smell of blood filled the air. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, from different sects. The blood had not yet dried up, and it was estimated that they had died in the past day or two.

"Search to see if there is anything valuable." Gu Chi and Big Black Dog searched the dozen or so corpses carefully but found nothing.

All the valuables of these people had been looted by others. Apart from the clothes on their bodies, they had nothing of value.

Gu Chi and Big Black Dog cut down a few large trees nearby and made more than a dozen simple coffins to bury the bodies of these people. Then they dug a large pit nearby to bury these people.
