Chapter 39 Moving Out
Gu Qingqing tried to attach the Gu worm to Ji Rong's body. The intoxicating aura, combined with the poison, would deter those simple-minded cultivators from getting too close.
But as soon as the Gu worms got close to Ji Rong, they stopped obeying Gu Qingqing's commands. Some worms even crawled around in a daze for a while before exploding.
When Ji Rong tried to use a minor manipulation technique to make them attach to her body, the Gu worms were very obedient, which made Gu Qingqing feel extremely distressed.
She had been asleep for ten years and had no time to refine the insects. When she arrived in the Desolate Sea City, she still wanted to use these insects to pay for the city entrance fee.
The Gu worms barely covered the obese Ji Rong with a layer, and Gu Qingqing then used the poison from Feng Qing's mouth to evenly coat the Gu worm layer on Ji Rong's body.
Feeling the strange and disgusting yet intoxicating scent of the beast, Gu Qingqing was extremely satisfied, while Ji Zhuang had already retreated three meters away.
As the sun rose, Gu Qingqing, along with the well-prepared Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang, set off on their journey.
She rode on Ji Zhuang's head, with Ji Rong carrying her inexpensive but important luggage on the road out of the city.
When they stopped at the city gate, Gu Qingqing heard her heart pounding. She was very nervous, but the guards only checked their identification and travel permits before covering their noses and quickly letting them pass.
Gu Qingqing hung the travel permit around Ji Zhuang's neck and flew towards the Desolate Sea City, with a smooth journey.
Upon arriving at the Desolate Sea City, they had no choice but to hand over the spirit crystals to enter the city.
Gu Qingqing and her group returned to the courtyard.
They navigated through the maze, finding the simple furnishings inside unchanged.
Gu Qingqing tidied up the things inside and then led Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang to repair the courtyard.
But this is not a long-term solution.
While working, Gu Qingqing pondered a way out.
She pondered her situation with these two chicks, and now she had three choices;
The first to return to the Fire Fox Clan of Central Plains
The second one went to the North to seek refuge with her father.
The third was that they switched to cultivating the three methods of Blood Gu poison.
However, each of the three methods of Blood Gu poison has its own drawbacks. Now that Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang's cultivation is going very well, there is really no need for them to do so.
The Fire Fox Clan of Zhongzhou could not return.
As for shamelessly contacting her father?! Gu Qingqing thought regretfully that if Ji Rong hadn't shown any unusual behavior, this would have been a good option.
After so many years of trials and tribulations, Gu Qingqing understands all too well that a fox cannot be without integrity.
Her ability to restore her meridians was thanks to her aunt and the baby birds.
As a three-hundred-year-old mixed-hair four-tailed fox, she is not considered old. If she asks her father, the Ice Fox Clan will naturally accept her. But what about Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang?
A struggle flashed across the fox's face, but she decided to stay.
Her animal instincts made her want to leave, but her heart refused to go.
Since I've decided to stay, I should find a way to continue my cultivation.
Gu Qing counted the treasures on his body and then decided to take out the spiritual herbs and materials that Sanxiu did not need to exchange for spirit crystals.
Before leaving, she instructed her children that the spiritual energy in Danzhou was mixed, and direct cultivation would damage their meridians. If they wanted to cultivate, they should use spirit crystals.
As soon as it stepped out of the courtyard, a fierce gust of wind slashed a gash on the face of this not-so-young fox.
"Ouch, that really hurts." Gu Qingqing quickly put up a small protective shield.
She arrived at the barn in the desolate sea city and learned from the shopkeeper that their return this time was very unfortunate, as they had encountered a gale-force vortex.
Originally, Gu Qingqing intended to exchange it for spirit crystals, but the strong winds made it difficult for them to leave for the time being, so she reluctantly paid the price difference and bought a Qingling Array Plate.
This array can circulate spiritual energy within a small area; it only requires one hundred spirit crystals each time.
The desolate city of Huanghai, which was originally built by Danzhou to defend against the witch demons, appeared even more barren after the fierce winds swept through it.
Originally, the army consisted of more soldiers than ordinary cultivators. After the Lich Clan showed weakness and gradually retreated to the islands, no longer landing, the army slowly withdrew.
Since then, the city of Huanghai has become desolate.
Gu Qingqing replenished her storage ring with a lot of spiritual food and bought some wine, planning to stay indoors for the next few days.
Back in the courtyard, she felt a surge of energy as familiar spiritual energy began to emanate from her. Gu Qingqing carefully laid down the array base, filled it with spirit crystals, and went inside.
At this moment, Ji Rong had awakened from her cultivation state. Countless spiritual energies swirled around her. She seemed unaffected by the strong winds, her expression deep and thoughtful, as if she were pondering a problem. Ji Zhuang cultivated beside her.
Gu Qingqing asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you that the spiritual energy here is too chaotic, and that you should use spirit crystals to cultivate? How come you started cultivating right away?"
Ji Rong replied, "Sister Qingqing, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, the spiritual energy here is even more abundant than in Ligu City. I like it."
Ji Zhuang nodded vigorously beside him.
More than ten years ago, they only stayed here for one night before heading to Ligu City, without really experiencing the place properly.
Now that his younger sister is different, Ji Zhuang feels that this place is absolutely wonderful.
It's suitable not only for his sister, but also for him.
Gu Qingqing stepped forward and stared at Ji Rong anxiously, asking, "Little Ji Rong, are you feeling unwell?"
She gestured to the veins on her claws and said, "Don't you think that if you use the spiritual energy here to cultivate directly, your body will become congested?"
Ji Rong shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister Qingqing, it's not working now, there's not enough air here."
Gu Qingqing was surprised. Of course she knew what was going on with the lack of spiritual energy. She had only bought a basic Qingling Array, which could only handle a limited amount of spiritual energy. Naturally, this would cause the protective energy in the foundation to gradually disappear, while the remaining spiritual energy, although peaceful, was of a lower level.
Gu Qingqing felt excited again at this thought. She felt that she was getting closer to the truth. So, she reduced the area covered by the array plate and signaled Ji Rong to step out of the array plate and feel it.
Ji Rong stepped out of the array's range, comfortably opened her mouth to take a breath, and with a satisfied swallowing sound, she exhaled with pure and elegant spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqing's eyes filled with tears.
Heaven smiled upon her once again; Ji Rong seemed to have been created specifically for her resurgence.
With a darling of heaven and earth like Ji Rong by her side, what worries does she have about the lonely path to enlightenment?!
Ji Rong inhaled some spiritual energy mixed with the gale outside the array plate, smacked her lips, and said to Gu Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, can we go out?"
She pointed towards the desolate sea and said longingly, "Sister, I want to go there, I want to go now, let's go together, your tail should grow out soon."
Gu Qingqing looked at her, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay."
In that instant, Gu Qingqing thought of many things. People like Ji Rong, who were different from other species, should not stay in places with many cultivators.
At sea, the fierce winds and harsh living conditions make it a good place to hide.
She instructed Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang to dig out the newly buried array base, and then tidied up the things in the house. She asked uncertainly, "Little Ji Zhuang, can you fly?"
Ji Zhuang flapped his wings and said, "Yes, I can fly with my sister."
So Gu Qingqing pulled out an extremely old sea chart and said, "We'll fly over from here. There are about three hundred famous islands here, some of which are located on spiritual veins and can be considered blessed lands."
Although this area is mostly occupied by remnants of witchcraft, the sea is vast and there are many more unnamed islands.
All we need is a small island with scarce spiritual energy, fierce winds, and no cultivators.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang nodded. The fox's brain was indeed sharp; their plan was flawless.
Everyone agreed, so Gu Qingqing went and bought another spirit-testing disc.
The deserted island is far away, so using a formation plate to detect the spiritual energy at the landing point is convenient and saves effort.
