Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

The mist drifted, and after pondering for a moment, Hao Chengtian nodded, "Alright, I agree with you."

"Three months from now, we'll meet again at the Dao Origin Land!"

As Hao Chengtian just left, Su Yi remarked, "Daoist Qingxu, what kind of foolishness is this?"

"Hao Chengtian is so skilled and possesses great Divine Skills. How could we possibly rival him?"

Chen Qing laughed heartily, "I never said I wanted to win."

"The terms he offered were so generous that I feared he might regret it, so I added another condition."

Chen Qing looked at Su Yi and shouted, "Ha, the Suan Ni Tribe dares to speak to Qingxu of the esteemed Taihao Tribe in such a manner?"

Su Yi: ...

I can't quite figure you out.

Su Yi looked at Chen Qing ahead and suddenly thought this realm of cultivation would stir up a completely different wave.

Su Yi awkwardly said, "Daoist Qingxu, truly an extraordinary person."

After parting from Su Yi, Chen Qing headed straight towards the Taihao Tribe. The city guard was taken aback for a moment, "Why have you returned?"

Chen Qing replied with confidence, "I am your Young Master's protector, now kneel and salute!"

Seeing Chen Qing's self-assured demeanor and bold return, knowing their Young Master was in the city, the guard figured Chen Qing wouldn't lie since any falsehood would be quickly exposed.

Immediately, he knelt on both knees, "Greetings, Lord of Protection!"

Satisfied, Chen Qing nodded, "Hmm, not bad, keep it up. I'll mention your name to the Young Master more often."

"By the way, clear out the best residence in the city for me; I need to prepare for some cultivation!"

The guard hurriedly led Chen Qing to the Taihao Tribe's cultivation area.

When they reached a cluster of grand pavilions, Chen Qing immediately chose the largest one, "This one looks nice; I'll take it!"

The guard quickly said, "That's impossible, it's the residence of the Great Elder's grandson, Yu Chengfeng!"

Chen Qing instantly shouted, "Go knock, tell him to get out, I want to live there."

The guard hesitantly replied, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Chen Qing roared, "Do you know what it means to protect someone? In the Taihao Tribe, besides the Young Master, I stand above all!"

"Humph, an elder dares disrespect the Young Master, I'll just teach him a lesson for the Young Master!"

The guard dared not hesitate anymore, hurried inside, and was soon kicked out.

Chen Qing reached out to catch the kicked guard, eyeing the person ahead. Expressionless, pale-faced, and light-footed, the individual looked frail.

Seeing the throng of entertainers behind him, Chen Qing immediately understood.

Without another word, seeing he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment, Chen Qing immediately used Fatian Xiangdi, delivering a slap that made Yu Chengfeng cough blood, leaving countless bones broken!

Yu Chengfeng spat a mouthful of fresh blood, "Who are you? How dare you?"

Chen Qing walked over nonchalantly, sitting on Yu Chengfeng's back, "Humph, the Young Master has long been displeased with you, using his reputation to act arrogantly. I'm merely teaching you a lesson for the Young Master!"

"With such trifling skills, you dare show off before the protector of my esteemed Young Master?"

"Do you seek death?"

"I could destroy you with a flip of my hand!"

"Hurry and drag your people away!"

Upon hearing that Chen Qing was Hao Chengtian's protector, Yu Chengfeng was also filled with fear.

A protector was only assigned to the most exceptional talents.

Typically, they held power only slightly inferior to the Heavenly Pride, dealing with ordinary foes and affairs.

The duty of a protector was to safeguard the Heavenly Pride, ensuring they did not expose their Gus unnecessarily, making them targets for others.

After Yu Chengfeng moved out, Chen Qing sat in the lavish pavilion, enjoying cultivation amidst the serving singers.

Serving the master is serving the master, but truly borrowing the cultivation resources of the Taihao Tribe.

However, whether to heed them is another matter.

Chen Qing thought he could take a path different from others.

Being a protector was no big deal.

Just wait to ask in the future: Why did the Young Master rebel?

Here, Hao Chengtian had just returned to his Meditation Room, preparing to meditate. No sooner had he sat cross-legged than a Sword Servant came to report, "Young Master, the Great Elder requests an audience!"

Hao Chengtian wondered, "What does he want?"

The Sword Servant shook his head, "I don't know, just that it's urgent."

Hao Chengtian casually said, "Then let him in."

As soon as the Great Elder entered, he knelt at Hao Chengtian's feet, "Young Master, I previously made an offense. Now I have repented. Please ask that protector to spare me!"

Hao Chengtian was taken aback, when did I ever have a protector?

Thinking of this, another Sword Servant came in quickly and recounted what Chen Qing did after his return.

Only then did Hao Chengtian understand.

Seeing the Mystic Gate Realm Great Elder, who never bowed his head, kneeling before him, Hao Chengtian suddenly felt this was the kind of authority the Young Master of the Taihao Tribe should command.

This Qingxu sure knows how to progress and retreat.

Even after overpowering over a dozen talented juniors, capturing the Nine Nether Goddess with ease, and suppressing Hao Chengjian with a flick, he still thought they were no match for him.

Involuntarily, he was somewhat elated.

He imagined countless powerful figures submitting before him, ready to heed his command, waiting for the day he waved his hand, advanced into the Death Realm, and claimed his sovereignty!

He immediately ordered, "Someone, go tell Qingxu to show some restraint!"

"Hmm, this time, let Yu Chengfeng go."
