Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 126 Retire after success
"Oh, and bring this with you."

Gongsun Ji, wearing spirit-sealing gloves, carefully handed a jade box to the man, which contained the Netherworld Stone.

"Take it back to the family; it might come in handy in the future when we encounter places like the Lesser Netherworld."

"Yes!"

Five supreme cultivators were responsible for escorting the Netherworld Stone back.

Gongsun Ji then took out a fire-repelling robe and put it on. He turned the ring on his hand and his figure gradually faded away and disappeared. It turned out to be an invisibility treasure!
Invisibility-type treasures inherently possess the effect of concealing one's aura and obscuring divine sense, making them the top-tier type of concealment treasures and extremely valuable.

The five people exchanged glances and said.

"We should go ahead first. The Yin Cold Iron Stones are of average value, but there are many of them, which is still a considerable profit. The main force is moving too slowly."

"it is good."

"can."

The passage to the underworld.

The north side of the Dead Tree Cliff is steep.

"Phew, it's finally out."

Gu Qing took a deep breath, enjoying the unique spiritual energy of the Cangwu cultivation world, which soothed his mind and body.

Over this period of time, he had used up all the pills to restore his true essence. The environment of the Lesser Netherworld was indeed not suitable for long-term activities by cultivators from the Cangwu Realm.

Behind them, the Guhuoniao also poked its head out.

Looking at Gu Qing with an inquisitive gaze, the meaning was clear: Is she free?

Gu Qing turned around leisurely, her eyes filled with amusement.

"you're free."

Before the Guhuoniao could show any joy, he continued.

"But... are you sure you want to leave me?"

"Master Dao, what do you mean by that?"

The Guhuoniao looked very reluctant, thinking that Gu Qing was going to break his promise.

You've misunderstood.

Shaking his head, Gu Qing explained.

"Think about it, you are a fierce bird, a ghost bird... you are a spirit."

"Those whose cultivation level is below the seventh rank need a place with abundant yin energy to survive."

"This small Netherworld has already been targeted by the Xia family. They have five sixth-rank ancestors in their clan who are openly known as the Five Ancestors of the Xia Clan."

Do you think the Fire Demon King can win?

Guhuoniao's face turned pale; the truth was indeed as Gu Qing had said.

And it won't be long before the Little Netherworld is completely destroyed. If she stays, her fate is uncertain. But the Taoist in front of her is really frightening. She is afraid, so she stubbornly insists.

"At worst, we can leave the Lesser Netherworld. This vast Falling Cloud Mountain Range is full of yin lands and mass graves."

This time, Gu Qing's smile widened even more.

"The Luoyun Mountains are a training ground. The Gongsun family, in conjunction with many second-rate families, has hidden their wealth here. Every few years, a large number of cultivators will enter the mountains to search for it."

"The ranking is determined by the number of monsters and evil spirits hunted."

Do you want to spend your days in constant fear?

The Guhuoniao was unaware of the situation outside. The Lesser Netherworld was first born from the void, and then it bordered the Yin Land of the Luoyun Mountains, creating a Yin-Yang passage that allowed them to communicate with each other.

But after the tragic end of the Nine-Headed Demon Bird...

She understood perfectly well that human cultivators from the outside world would not tolerate Yin spirits.

He then simply transformed into human form and sat down on the ground.

"What do you want?"

"It's not me, it's what you want: whether you'd like to consider becoming my subordinate spirit general."

"Spirit General?"

Gu Qing nodded.

“Once a demonic beast is subdued, it becomes a spirit beast.”

“Once a spirit is subdued, it becomes a spirit general or a messenger of the underworld.”

"It's equivalent to having a formal position within the human race's forces. As long as you don't harm others, you can do whatever you want."

This Guhuoniao is too weak; it's estimated to be relatively young, and its hidden abilities haven't yet awakened. Gu Qing has high hopes for it. On the other hand, the Guhuoniao is quite good-looking.

If it could become his mount, that would be a good thing. The Ghost Bird travels amidst rolling dark clouds, not to mention its handsome appearance.

However, the Guhuoniao only understood a few words.

"You want to enslave me forever?!"

Dissatisfaction, resentment, fear, resistance, and a trace of longing—these elements encapsulate the Guhuoniao's current state of mind.

"It's not going to last forever. With your strength, you can only serve as a mount at most."

"..."

"Go wait for me at Rosemary Lake. Think it over carefully. The Gongsun family is coming."

Give the other person some time to think.

Gu Qing focused his attention on the Yin-Yang passage. He came out first to ambush them. He had tampered with the red cloth he gave to the four-person team and roughly knew their plans.

Don the Xia family's red robe and put on the iron mask that isolates divine sense.

It stands quietly at the entrance of the passageway.

Bo~
On the mountain cliff, the rocks rippled like water, and a group of five people had just stepped out from them when...

The fire dragon roared, and crimson flames descended.

Gu Qing went all out from the start, sending dozens of fire dragons crashing down, shattering the surrounding rocks and leaving behind a sea of ​​fire.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Who dares to launch a sneak attack?"

The four-person team was filled with doubt and suspicion. None of them spoke. The reason they suggested going ahead was to allow their hidden collaborator to successfully infiltrate the tunnel.

The current situation is truly unexpected.

They launched a surprise attack first, using their momentum to overwhelm the enemy, and all five of them suffered minor injuries of varying degrees.

In the sea of ​​fire.

The Xia family's red robes were particularly eye-catching, and for the four-person team, the missing edges and corners proved something even more, causing their pupils to constrict.

A cold voice came from beneath the iron mask.

"Hand over the Netherworld Stone."

The Netherworld Stone? His goal is the Netherworld Stone?

The four-person team exchanged glances and made a decision in secret, while the only one kept in the dark was furious.

"You scoundrel, do you think wearing summer clothes makes you a member of the Xia family? Hiding your true colors, you're going to die!"

call out---

A flying sword shot out from his control. As fellow cultivators at the highest level, he was confident he could take down five opponents in one against one. Given some time, he was sure he could win.

But the wide-range fire dragon spell used just now wasn't just for area-of-effect attacks.

This area is still within the Deadwood Cliff area.

In other words, it wasn't far from the "main gate" where the Xia family was stationed, and such a commotion could easily disturb them.

In the eyes of the four-person team, the man in the iron-faced red robe had some connection with the Xia family.

It immediately stopped paddling and charged forward with a roar.

Judging from their appearance, they are all working harder than the other.

"die!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, Gu Qing knocked away the magic sword and focused his attention on throwing a punch at the members of the team. He was surprised to find that the force was much weaker than he had expected, but they were shouting fiercely.

The moment their eyes met, Gu Qing understood each other perfectly.

The flames surged, obscuring everyone's view.

When they could see clearly, the person at the very front had his throat grabbed by Gu Qing.

"Hand over the Netherworld Stone."

"Gongsun Lan, don't worry about me. How can we hand over the family treasure to thieves? Even if it means death, I, Gongsun Pan, will not yield. Kill this scoundrel."

Good guy.

With acting skills no worse than his, Gu Qing essentially held their weakness in his hands. Coupled with the external pressure of the Xia family cultivators arriving at any moment, they were forced to make a choice.

It was a coincidence, but it went very smoothly.

Gongsun Lan is the only one in the group of five who is kept in the dark, and he is also Gongsun Ji's nephew. The Netherworld Stone is in his hands.
