Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 489 - 278: Grasping the Hand of the King of Qi to Ascend the Throne

```

The king’s nobility, lies in the King Gu.

Besides relying on external forces like the King Gu to ascend to Daoist Lord, the only path left is the path of sainthood.

This path required an exceedingly high martial arts talent.

Yu Xu’er originally intended to wait for Chen Qing’s arrangement, accepting whatever king’s pathway he would bestow upon her.

But now, she could choose.

With eight pathways of the king laid out before her, she was momentarily dazzled, picking up one scroll of scripture and then another.

"Dan, can you help me choose one that suits me?"

Chen Dan shook his head, "It’s ultimately your own path that you must choose. I can choose for a moment, but not for a lifetime."

Yu Xu’er nodded earnestly, persuaded by Chen Dan, and again focused on the eight scrolls of scripture.

"Master, I choose this Ninth Transformation Wind God Cloud Clearing Skill!"

Chen Qing’s gaze fell upon Chen Dan, who attempted to pick up the Black Sun Cycle Skills scripture, observing Chen Qing’s expression.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing, already an old fox, could not be discerned by Chen Dan for any oddities.

Chen Dan said, "Father, I instinctively feel I could walk this path quite far, may I?"

Chen Qing did not hide it from him, "This path is extremely difficult, the higher the realm, the more dangerous it is."

Chen Dan put it down, "Then I’ll choose the Eternal Reincarnation Skills. This can aid All Things Grow and make me immune to all poisons, beneficial for trying various elixir formulas."

Chen Qing said, "Yes, it can, but your path differs from others. Before you were born, a celestial crane carried a Ninth Transformation Gold Dan into your body; you’re more like abnormal people."

"If you are intent on alchemy, seek out your Aunt Yan, she has another cultivation path you can follow."

Chen Dan cupped his hands, "Child understands, I’ll seek Aunt Yan afterward."

Chen Qing said, "That path is still based on Lifebound, but you can still have a Lifebound Gu. Take this Light Gu first."

Bestowing the Light Gu, long prepared there to protect them after forming a successful contract, he explained how the Light Gu ascended. Then Chen Qing led them to the side hall again.

As dusk fell, the three Daoists did not mind the wait, and Chen Qing said, "It is settled, Yu Xu’er will now be my personal disciple."

Daoist Long Li smiled, "Junior brother has worked hard. Hereafter, say just a word if anything is needed, and we three brothers will not refuse!"

Chen Qing laughed, "Indeed, there is a matter quite troublesome, I find it difficult to handle now."

Daoist Long Li said, "Junior brother, please speak!"

Chen Qing said, "Xuanping, take the children away."

After Xuanping led away Chen Dan and Yu Xu’er, Chen Qing began to recount the events he’d encountered earlier. The three Daoists listened and immediately agreed.

Daoist Hu Li chuckled, "I thought what major issue it was; it’s nothing, leave it to us three brothers!"

After chatting a bit more, Chen Qing withdrew, dissipating his Dharma Body.

The three Daoists returned to their meticulously arranged guest rooms, and Daoist Xuanwu said, "Senior brother, I noticed some surprise when Yu Xu’er came out, who knows if it succeeded."

Daoist Long Li said, "Just ask and know!"

Daoist Hu Li said, "Senior brother, don’t ask closely, lest we break our previous agreement!"

Daoist Long Li said, "I have my ways, not asking her specifics, just verifying truth or falsehood."

When Yu Xu’er returned, Daoist Long Li asked, "Yu Xu’er, did your master grant you the king’s path inheritance?"

Yu Xu’er replied, "Yes."

"But Master said, about the king’s path inheritance, the Promotion Map, those are not to be spoken of."

"Master has only told me the materials needed for ascension."

Hearing this, the three Daoists suddenly understood, and Daoist Hu Li said, "The Light Gu, it’s Jiguang Sect’s methods."

"The Death Sea is Jiguang Sect’s territory, finding the king’s path inheritance for the Light Gu is reasonable."

Daoist Long Li said, "These matters must not leak a word to outsiders, go on."

After Yu Xu’er left, Daoist Long Li said, "Now, we just have to see if what Prince Wen said about the Promotion Map is accurate."

"Prince Wen can calculate other Gu, but the ascension path of the Light Gu is without a trace, simply unfathomable."

"If Yu Xu’er truly follows his instruction to ascend the Light Gu, or directly undergoes Butterfly Transformation."

"Then it should be true."

The three months flew by, and Daoist Long Li wanted to ask Yu Xu’er about her Light Gu, when he saw Yu Xu’er showcasing a Light Butterfly with wings appearing on her back, spinning up tornadoes as she sparred with Chen Dan.

Witnessing this, the three immediately understood, Chen Qing indeed held something substantial in his hands!

Quickly bidding farewell, the three returned to their guest rooms, and Daoist Xuanwu exclaimed excitedly, "In just three months, that Light Gu has already undergone Butterfly Transformation, and from the looks of it, it’s clearly beyond the First Transformation!"

Daoist Hu Li said, "Indeed king’s path inheritance!"

Daoist Long Li said, "Now that it’s accomplished, our Demon Suppressing Temple has a Daoist Lord about to emerge, we should focus on what Prince Wen mentioned."

Daoist Xuanwu said, "With us three acting, Qi Country is just a small tribe, can’t they possibly revolt?"

Daoist Long Li said, "It’s time to take our leave, swiftly depart, and seek out Xuan Mang."

"Just follow his arrangement, don’t be hasty and wreck Prince Wen’s major plans!"

A month passed slowly, and the King’s Chariot of the King of Qi and Prince Wen arrived in Qi Country.

Chen Qing received a message from Xuan Mang in the Death Realm, "Since everything is ready, it’s time for action."
