Chapter 559 Two Bugs
At the moment when the unknown strong man died, someone suddenly opened his eyes and watched the six limbs of the Blood Spirit Gu in his hand stretch out, the body flipped over, and there was no breath.

The Blood Spirit Gu is a mother-and-child Gu, also known as a heart-to-heart worm. They are born as a pair, live and die together, and never lose or forget each other, so they are often called love worms.

But in this man's eyes, it is just a handy tool, without any added value of love between men and women. Of course, if there are infatuated men and women willing to buy it at a high price, he will not be stingy to give up a pair of love insects in exchange for some cultivation resources. It would be best if the buyer's cultivation is not high, so that he can help the pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks to live together and die together.

This is the way the world is. If you don't fight or compete, no one will treat you as a gentleman. Instead, they will think you are weak and can be bullied. Only when you are fierce and violent will people be afraid of you.

Shangguan Gong has understood this principle since he was a child. Ever since he killed someone in the street at the age of thirteen and looked at the fearful eyes of the people around him, he understood what it means to survive.

Of course, this is also because he is already a master of the Tongtian realm. With such cultivation, as long as he does not provoke a few tough guys, he can live a very free and easy life.

But Shangguan Gong also has his own worries. Not only is he not satisfied, he wants more. Although the Tongtian Realm is good, it cannot compare with the Sheng Realm. Even a saint is enough to support the rise of a thousand-year-old force.

So after sensing that aura, Shangguan Gong, who was nearby, hurried here as fast as he could. However, unlike those arrogant and unyielding heroes, he valued his life and hid his figure thousands of miles away.

He simply planted a poison on a low-level cultivator and watched from afar as the man rushed into an unknown place.

The Blood Spirit Gu could sense the state of the cultivator. When the person died, the Gu would be destroyed. Shangguan Gong immediately noticed something was wrong. Not only that, the Blood Spirit Gu also transmitted back the last scene of the person's life and any remaining emotional fluctuations.

"It is indeed not a safe place. Although I have not detected any large formations or restrictions, the aura alone is enough to show that it is extraordinary. Even so, it is still a dangerous place to go alone. Only a casual cultivator can do it."

Shangguan Gong pondered in his heart. He was originally a casual cultivator, and he knew the mental journey very well. People die for money and birds die for food. Didn’t he come here for the windfall? It was just the difference between being a mantis or a yellow bird. There might be a hunter behind the yellow bird!

"But there is no trace of battle waves, and there is no trace of any monks in the photos taken before his death. The last moment was filled with inexplicable fear. Could it be that there is some ancient evil creature or strange beast hidden inside?"

He thought to himself that the sturdy man was a pathfinder, but he didn't send back any information, and he couldn't help but curse him as a waste.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shangguan Gong's face was determined. In his perception, a stream of energy and blood emerged. Although it could not be called majestic, it was not suppressed at all and was extremely pure. But just now, he clearly did not feel anything, as if it appeared out of thin air.

"Although this aura is pure, it is only at the level of Perfect Blood Realm. Could it be that there is a den of vicious beasts hiding in the cave?"

He just couldn't believe that a mere Blood Moving Realm would pop up in such a ruins that could shake the momentum of most of Zhongzhou. Shangguan Gong turned his head, slightly startled, and saw a figure walking up from the bottomless cave, with an aura that had not yet subsided in the air.

"He is a human, but just a person in the Blood Moving Realm?"

On this side, Gu Qingyuan has already arrived outside the cave. With some of the strong man's memories, he has a basic understanding of the outside world.

The blood in his body was like a dragon, and his heart was like a drum. Every time his heart beat, it would push new blood to his limbs and bones, strengthening his body. Beating the muscles, toughening the fascia, removing the hair and washing the marrow, and making the body pure, this was a method different from the immortals of later generations. In order to adapt to the spiritual power, the immortals of later generations made their bodies into containers more suitable for the storage, transformation and application of spiritual power.

But this ancient method is different, it transforms the body bit by bit, tempers the most basic units of the body, constantly sublimates, and thus breaks through the level of life. A single drop of blood or a piece of meat contains enormous energy. For example, a drop of Xiao Hong's blood or a drop of the Holy King's blood weighs tens of thousands of pounds. The energy left in them can shake most of Zhongzhou.

Of course, this is also because of Gu Qingyuan's method. Now that drop of blood has no magical power anymore. At most, it can strengthen the muscles and bones and consolidate the qi and blood. Gu Qingyuan does not value that tiny benefit. It is not even as much as the spiritual energy he breathes in. The vibrating breath is just a waste of utilization.

"You can use food supplements to improve your cultivation. The energy contained in the living things in this world, even a blade of grass or a tree, is much higher than that in later generations. This is why there are natural treasures everywhere, and they are all rare treasures that are rarely seen in later generations."

Gu Qingyuan made some moves. In the later life, he had already become an immortal god. The achievement of a small blood-moving realm had a negligible increase in his combat power. It was just to adapt to the spiritual energy of this world and serve as a key to start his practice.

He looked around and suddenly looked somewhere. His gaze spanned thousands of miles. There was an empty space and no one was there. However, Gu Qingyuan just smiled and nodded.

Shangguan Gong's heart trembled. He thought he had hidden well enough, but he was exposed under that gaze. Seeing that strange Blood Moving Realm was waving in his direction, his thoughts raced, and in just a moment, he tore off his cover, revealed his figure openly, and flew towards Gu Qingyuan.

"My...fellow Daoist, I am a nearby cultivator. I noticed something strange was happening here, so I came to check it out. I wonder if you..."

Shangguan Gong laughed as he flew, and with his rough appearance, he looked like a generous man.

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "You can call me Qinghong."

Shangguan Gong stopped after being several hundred meters away. At this distance, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape. This place was strange, so it was better to be careful.

Seeing that person speaking, his eyes turned, and he was about to ask for more information, when he saw Gu Qingyuan stretch out his hand, spread out his palm, and said: "I think this should be yours."

Shangguan Gong saw the broken limbs of an insect lying in the palm of his hand. His face changed. He had already set up a self-destruction method when refining the Blood Spirit Gu. Once the insect died, not even a bit of powder would be left. The purpose was to destroy the body and eliminate all traces. How could it appear in this man's hands?

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Qingyuan interrupted him and said, "A small bug is annoying enough, but that bug brought another bug with it. Since you wanted to come here, why don't you dare to go in?"

Shangguan Gong's face looked a little ugly. Of the two bugs, one was the soldier crossing the river and the strong man exploring the way, and the other one was talking about the Blood Spirit Gu or himself, which was hard to say.

"How about this, before the big fish come in, stay with me to warm up first. As long as you can hold out until they come, I will let you go."

Gu Qingyuan didn't wait for Shangguan Gong to answer and stretched out his hand.
