Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 121 Trip to Fog Mountain
This is one of them.

The numerous ghosts in the Lesser Netherworld are also a kind of resource. Apart from the ghost dust and yin essence produced by killing them, living ghosts are excellent materials for practicing ghost-controlling techniques.

It is also a resource.

In addition, the special products of the Lesser Netherworld, such as spiritual herbs, minerals, and Taiyin Jade Liquid, all require time to be mined.

On the other hand, the Southern Wilderness, no... the entire human race, due to external pressures, places great emphasis on practical combat, seizing almost every opportunity to hone the younger generation.

That's just how the general trend is; when something goes wrong, people always want to drag a bunch of younger people over to "train" them.

at this time.

A cultivator from the Gongsun clan pointed at the clouds and shouted.

"what is that."

A cloud of yin energy rolled in and disappeared into the mountain cliffs right in front of the many Gongsun clan cultivators.

Upon hearing that he was a seventh-rank high-level cultivator, Gongsun Ji's eyes lit up.

"Those are the ghostly beings of the Lesser Netherworld. The passage is right there, hahaha, let's go."

"Let's go in too."

…………

…………

"Cough cough."

Inside the Yin-Yang passage, Gu Qing coughed repeatedly.

The dense yin energy was choking like smoke; this little underworld was ultimately a deadly place unsuitable for the creatures of the Cangwu Realm.

The area is filled with malevolent energy, and one can only recover their depleted true essence by using spirit stones and elixirs.

Therefore, purifying these occasional small spatial realms is also the responsibility of the Southern Wilderness human forces.

If one accepts this kind of yin energy.

Cultivators will transform into ghosts and become ghost cultivators. The root cause of the rebellion of the Youjun in history was that he instigated and bewitched a large number of cultivators to walk the path of ghosts, which caused great trouble. His own power was not as dazzling as that of the top cultivators.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be this serious.

Releasing the Demon-Slaying Sword from his Qi Sea and absorbing the surrounding Yin energy, Gu Qing felt much better and curiously looked at the new world.

"Is this the Lesser Netherworld?"

"Yes, Master Dao. I have a few friends nearby who are waiting for us. Shall we go over there?"

"No, let's go in the opposite direction."

"You were born here and have lived here for so many years, you should know what resource points are around here, right? Take me there."

"..."

The Guhuoniao remained silent, then spoke with difficulty.

"Yes, but they've all been taken by the Fire Demon King's subordinates. The Taiyin Jade Liquid is in the Mist Mountain where I reside. Shall we go?"

Gu Qing frowned.

This Guhuoniao is up to no good; it's subtly trying to lure him over. After all, it's a ghost bird, and it still has some ferocity.

On the other hand, no one wants to be enslaved and has the desire to break free, which Gu Qing can understand.

But the time wasn't right yet; he still needed a local to guide him, and he couldn't let her get away.

You want to use your companion's strength to get rid of me. I want your companion's cultivation to nourish the sword. If I'm lucky enough to condense one or two Yin Marrow, it will be a huge profit.

But facing the enemy of Yin Ghost.

Gu Qing's skills are unparalleled; he's confident he can even contend with a seventh-rank Yin Ghost. Are you afraid of him?

“Let’s go to the Fog Mountain you mentioned.”

Upon hearing this, the Guhuoniao flew north in silence.

Not long after Gu Qing left.

A ripple spread through the void, and over a hundred cultivators, led by Gongsun Ji, officially entered, all overjoyed.

After taking out the positioning array disk and observing it for a while, he spoke.

"The main force of the Xia family is in the south. According to the information we obtained from the Yin Ghost, the central location is Ghost King Peak, where the Fire Ghost King and the Netherworld Fiend Fire are located."

"Uncle Ji, what should we do?"

"The matter of the Netherworld Fiend Fire isn't urgent. You all should first seize the resources of the ghosts, ensuring a minimum harvest before we talk about anything else." "Yes!"

"As ordered."

The entire Lesser Netherworld can be described as an alternate dimension dependent on the Cangwu Realm. It is neither too large nor too small, with an area equivalent to a prefecture in the Southern Yue Kingdom.

Its solid foundation is the Netherworld Stone, a rare spatial treasure.

Unfortunately, its nature is too sinister, making it difficult for cultivators who normally follow the Four Nine Immortal Paths to utilize. Only Gu Qing, this freak, was able to use this bizarre ghost-slaying sword.

Logically, Nether Stones are either located deep underground or clustered together.

One of Gu Qing's ultimate goals is this thing.

I haven't figured out how to find it yet.

We could try to seize a few portions of the two treasures, Taiyin Jade Liquid and Yin Marrow.

A thick, eerie aura enveloped the entire space.

Without the sun and moon, the entire world is basically dark except for some fluorescent plants. It's like the blind men and the elephant, with a very poor sense of direction, requiring navigation tools to avoid getting lost.

Gu Qing's positioning methods, besides the Guhuoniao, also included a backup plan.

Right at the entrance, a wisp of divine consciousness seed was buried.

Even without the Guhuoniao, one can successfully leave the Lesser Netherworld at crucial moments.

Most of the day later.

Looking at the barren mountain ahead, shrouded in black mist, filled with yin energy, corpse energy, and resentment, Gu Qing took a deep breath.

"Is this Fog Mountain?"

"That's right. At the top of this mountain grows a [Yin Gathering Treasure Tree] that can absorb the essence of Yin spirits and the essence of Taiyin moonlight. The two are combined and accumulated in the tree hole, which is Taiyin Jade Liquid."

"It can produce one drop every five years. This substance is a treasure for ghosts to enhance their cultivation. Even if they find it, they will consume it immediately."

"But it's different in Wushan."

At this point, Guhuoniao paused briefly and looked towards the direction of Wushan.

"coming."

Black mist surged continuously, and a large flock of giant black birds flew out from it. Before they could be seen, a piercing shriek could be heard.

"Hahaha, Guhuoniao, I didn't expect you to bring back food after going out. Your brothers are very happy."

The leader was the last of the three fierce birds.

Owl!

Its appearance resembles an owl covered in blood-red feathers, hence its other name, Blood Owl. It possesses a powerful bloodline ability to control blood and, judging from its aura, is ranked at the eighth-rank extreme level.

Besides it, there were four other large birds.

Corpse Raven is a crow demon whose corpse undergoes a mutation similar to a zombie after death. Its intelligence and spiritual light are much lower, equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child. It is covered in the stench of corpses, resembling a rotting bird carcass, and is ranked as an upper-eighth-rank creature.

The Bone Demon Bird, with a skeletal form and empty eye sockets burning with eerie green flames, is a high-ranking eighth-grade bird.

The three-headed ghost bird possesses some of the bloodline of the nine-headed bird and also has the talent for curses, ranking as an upper-level eighth-grade being.

The last one was formed from the remains of a dead ground bird. Gu Qing did not know its name. It resembled an ostrich and was also an eighth-rank high-level bird.

Adding the Blood Owl makes up the Five Ghost Birds of Fog Mountain.

Their strength is indeed quite good.

Gu Qing stepped on the bird's back.

"You called him?"

The Guhuoniao remained silent, looking at Gu Qing with a discerning gaze. Her meaning was simple: she hadn't invited him; he had insisted on coming.

If you can beat her, kill her; if you can't, you can still gain your freedom.

Therefore, no intelligence support was provided for Gu Qing's plan.

Before coming here, Gu Qing had even mentally prepared himself to face a seventh-grade ghost.

There's nothing to worry about right now.

“An owl, is that it? Let’s start with you.”

"Arrogant! What do you think this place is, the Netherworld!"
