Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 123 Taiyin Jade Liquid
"The five ghost birds of Fog Mountain are brothers in name only, but in reality they check and balance each other."

"The Taiyin Jade Liquid can enhance the cultivation of ghosts, but only one drop is produced every five years."

"So they agreed to distribute the drops every fifty years, two drops per bird."

"These days mark the fiftieth anniversary. Daoist, you must believe in my sincerity. If it were any other place that produces Taiyin Jade Liquid, apart from a few places that must be offered to the Fire Ghost King, the rest would be places where food is readily available."

Gu Qing remained noncommittal. The Guhuoniao had already planned its escape route before the operation, and the information about Taiyin Jade Liquid was one of them.

If he wins, he can use this somewhat plausible reason to save his life.

Even if he loses, he can regain his freedom.

However, Gu Qing never intended to kill her in the first place; it was merely a way to give her a warning.

At the summit of Wushan Mountain.

The black mist here seems much lighter, and the air is filled with a large amount of moonlight essence. The Little Netherworld has no sun or moon, and no distinction between day and night.

The origin of this moonlight is unknown.

Gu Qing was able to absorb and refine it, condensing the Qi Sea Moon Image.

"This is the Yin-Gathering Treasure Tree?"

"Yes."

The large tree in front of me was entirely dark blue, with branches but no leaves.

The bark of the tree has peeled off in large quantities, revealing crescent-shaped holes, each about a finger's width wide. Through the holes, you can see a pool of jade-colored liquid inside.

Taiyin Jade Liquid, a high-grade seventh-rank treasure.

It is only produced in the Lesser Netherworld. It has excellent effects on cultivators who practice Yin, Cold, and Water attribute techniques. It can also be used as a material for alchemy and quenching liquid.

For him, its most important role was to assist in refining the strange fire.

This time, the Azure Cloud Fire was not suitable for him, and he had not made any preparations in advance, so it would be difficult to subdue, and logically, he should not have subdued it.

But it's always good to prepare in advance.

Sooner or later he will find a unique fire from heaven and earth suitable for a weapon refiner.

Just as the Guhuoniao said.

There were exactly ten drops of Yin Jade Liquid in this Yin-Gathering Treasure Tree, enough for him to use.

It was put away in a jade bottle and placed in a treasure bag.

He began to ponder how to utilize this precious tree, perhaps by refining it using evil techniques? But that wouldn't be appropriate... If he were to use innate refining methods on every rare and precious material he encountered, it would be against the natural order.

However, its ability to condense moonlight makes it very suitable for cultivators at the Sun and Moon Realm, as it can assist in condensing moonlight. It is quite a rare treasure, and it is also a specialty of the Netherworld.

Once you miss it, there won't be another chance.

He practiced breathing in the moonlight while pondering.

Twenty days later.

The moonlight gathered by the precious tree was completely devoured by Gu Qing, causing a slight imbalance in the solar and lunar phenomena in his Qi Sea, with the lunar phenomenon being noticeably brighter than the solar phenomenon.

The impact of the imbalance is not significant, as long as the two are eventually balanced.

During this time, Gu Qing also came up with a way to utilize the special properties of the Treasure Tree.

"The Gluttonous Head!"

This item is also a product of the innate weapon-refining method and has growth potential. Gu Qing has always used it to refine pills to accelerate his cultivation, and Taotie Shou has perfectly fulfilled this function.

However, just like Gu Qing, although it was perfectly refined, the amount flowing into Gu Qing's body was always slightly less, which is considered "reasonable energy loss".

Just like water flowing through mud, some of it will always seep into the mud.

The Taotie head grows by absorbing medicinal power.

Unlike the Demon-Slaying Sword, which only eats ghosts, it eats everything, regardless of whether it's meat or vegetables, which perfectly matches the characteristics of a glutton.

The space inside has grown from the size of the original three rooms to the size of a quarter of a football field.

Furthermore, it is very special.

There is only one restriction from beginning to end, which Gu Qing calls [Devouring]. This restriction is clearly far superior to ordinary treasure restrictions and cannot be learned.

As the artifact grows, its effects naturally become stronger. "Devour!"

Infused with true essence, the finger-sized skull of the strange beast suddenly swelled up, transforming into a giant bone donkey with a diameter of nearly twenty meters, which swallowed the Gathering Yin Treasure Tree whole in one gulp.

Make a chewing motion.

The yin energy, which was like a turbid mist, was expelled from its cheeks, leaving only the part related to the moonlight to be continuously refined. After a while, it spat out a milky white bead.

It then transformed back into its original form and re-entered his Niwan Palace.

"Moonlight Pearl".

This is a special weapon-refining technique that can only be achieved by borrowing the devouring power of the Taotie head.

The Moon Essence Pearl is a product of the condensed characteristics of the Moon Essence from the Yin Gathering Tree. The two have similar effects, but they are also different.

The jewel possesses the characteristics of a vessel, but because it lacks vessel markings or magical restrictions inside, it is not entirely a vessel.

In layman's terms, this is a one-time use item without any rank.

It just takes a long time; it can concentrate the moonlight for twenty years before it dissipates.

"Good baby."

The red string is strung together and hung around the neck. The hundred orifices automatically absorb the moonlight condensed from nothingness and silently fill the moon image in the sea of ​​qi.

An automatic training program that can last for twenty years has been completed.

While his speed is not as fast as his active absorption of the essence of the sun and moon, his advantage lies in his constant practice, making his active cultivation more efficient.

The new use of the Taotie head opened up entirely new ideas for Gu Qing.

It has this miraculous effect when used on rare and precious medicinal materials.

If used on a fully formed magical artifact or a demon, can it leave behind someone else's unique restriction? Or the bloodline ability of a demon?
It doesn't need to last for twenty years, not even a few months.

That's enough for him to learn from.

This is a topic worth exploring.

The Gluttonous Head and the Evil Refining Technique are arguably the biggest cheat codes he has ever had in his cultivation. Despite the fact that the panel can generate techniques and replenish lifespan, it cannot change Gu Qing's own cultivation speed.

He trained the same way as everyone else.

His cultivation level was accelerated entirely by his own efforts and by the Devouring Divine Power of the Gluttonous Head, which allowed him to reach the realm of "eating the sun and moon" at the age of thirty-something.

The longer his remaining lifespan, the higher the upper limit of the cultivation techniques he can deduce.

"panel."

Since breaking through to the ultimate realm of consuming the sun and moon, his lifespan has increased by 180 years. As he further cultivates and absorbs more and more essence of the sun and moon, his lifespan is steadily increasing, adding another 20 years during this period.

The extraordinary thirty years represent an upgrade for Purple Jade Dew.

Generally speaking, in the common knowledge of the Cangwu cultivation world, the lifespan of a true cultivator who consumes the sun and moon fluctuates around a thousand years. Gu Qing felt that he hadn't reached his limit yet.
