Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 127 Marrow Cleansing Bracelet, Returning to the Mountain

A struggle lasting nearly thirty breaths.

Gongsun Lan sighed and tossed the jade box containing the Netherworld Stone over.

Gu Qing reached out and took it, examined it, and finally smiled, saying in an extremely soft voice.

"Pleasant to work with."

Flames flickered. Gu Qing's perfected Fire Escape Technique granted him the ability to teleport within flames. He had set up a fire seed twenty miles away beforehand, from which he emerged and cleaned up any traces.

Leave the scene immediately.

Before the Netherworld Passage, the group of five chose to return to the Lesser Netherworld. With things in such a mess, the Xia family cultivators would definitely come to inspect, and it would be troublesome if the main force came out at this time.

Therefore, it needs to be hidden for a while longer.

"Damn it, what about the Netherworld Stone?"

"How am I supposed to explain this to Uncle Ji?"

Gongsun Lan was blaming herself, but Gongsun Pan and the other three comforted her.

"Lan, don't worry."

"The Netherworld Stone is of little value to us cultivators of the Forty-Nine Immortal Paths. The person who came to snatch it must be a heretical cultivator."

"Report this to Lord Ji afterwards, and we can investigate in this direction."

"A few years ago, there were rumors in Baiyue Mountain that a traitor from the Cao family had appeared. Perhaps it was these people who did this!"

"Do not blame you."

"It was my fault, Gongsun Pan's fault. If I hadn't underestimated that man, I wouldn't have been captured."

"you……"

Gongsun Lan's eyes were filled with tears, tears that shone with emotion.

It'll make you cry!

Rosemary Lake.

The cloud is deep and unknown.

The ever-changing clouds in the sky and the mirror-like surface of the lake reflecting the mountains and stars make it a rare and magnificent sight.

On the lakeside, a voluptuous beauty with deep purple hair, draped in a feathered robe, stood there, staring blankly at her reflection in the lake.

During this hunting career, Gu Qing extracted Yin marrow to raise the Ghost Sword.

The Yin spirits and ghost dust were all fed to the Guhuoniao, just as he said, he really wanted the bird as a mount, and he wasn't making it up.

Yin spirits are souls that have been strengthened by yin energy to have a physical body-like shell. In reality, they are still souls, otherwise they would not produce yin marrow, a treasure that helps cultivate spiritual consciousness.

The ghostly dust it leaves behind is a elixir that accelerates cultivation for its kind.

She has become even more beautiful than before.

Her feathered robe and flowing hair, warm and translucent, exuded a mysterious and ethereal aura, indicating that she was developing well.

Thinking back carefully, apart from the initial encounter when she suffered a lot, Gu Qing never actually whipped her again, not even when he tested her with the Five Birds of Mist Mountain.

The question is how to choose between living under someone else's roof and merely surviving.

At this time.

A streak of fire and light landed beside her, and Gu Qing looked at her and said.

"All done, shall we go?"

Looking at the outstretched hand, Guhuoniao hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out.

Gu Qing was unaware of her psychological changes.

From the beginning, he didn't think the Ubume would refuse. It was a matter of survival, and making this choice was inevitable for the sake of life.

This is Gu Qing's way of thinking according to her own logic.

Little did they know that for a young ghost bird, survival was not the only concern.

Holding the Guhuoniao's hand, Gu Qing kicked her calf.

"Turn into a bird and carry me to that cave in Tianjiazhuang."

"You!"

Glaring at Gu Qing, the Guhuoniao angrily shook its head, leaped into the sky, did a somersault, and manifested a gigantic ghost bird with a wingspan of twelve meters, charging headlong into the air. "Slow down, shield me from the wind."

"!!!"

Gu Qing reminded him during their journey.

"Come with me to Baiyue Mountain to form a pact. Remember, when there are other people present, you must call me master."

"I can be more casual in private; I'm not the domineering type."

"Once we reach the mountain gate, you can help me with some miscellaneous tasks. I have three plots of land with the yin element of Yi wood, so you can build your nest in peace. I will notify you in advance when we travel."

"That's all for now. Got it?"

"remember!"

The Yi Wood Yin Land belonging to Gu Qing is temporarily in a state of disuse, but that area is all Yi Wood Yin Land, with only three small plots belonging to him.

There is no limit to the practice of breathing exercises.
The Yin energy of Yi Wood from other plots will also flow over, so there's no need to worry about the spiritual land being slightly degraded. The surrounding area is full of wealthy families, so absorbing a little bit won't be a big problem.

As for Mount Huosang where Gu Qing lives, it is completely unsuitable for the Guhuoniao to live in for a long time, as she cannot withstand its extremely yang and hot environment.

Of course, if you want to get closer.

He could buy a few plots of Dinghuo Yin land from Elder Yao, but the price was too high, it wasn't worth it, and the area was too small.

Less than half an hour later.

The man and the bird left the Luoyun Mountains and landed in a cave outside Tianjiazhuang.

The marrow-cleansing fruit tree is inside, having been nurtured for more than half a year.

This weapon is definitely inferior to the Ghost-Slaying Sword. The Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree is a notch below the Earth Yin Willow, and the Spirit Earth is two notches below it. Its initial grade will not be very high, and its potential will be much lower accordingly.

In terms of gestation time, it won't take more than a year.

Activate the Minor Five Elements Isolation Array.

In the faint golden light, the moment Gu Qing touched the Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree, he turned into dust, just like the scene with the Earth Shade Willow.

Amidst the dust, a bracelet formed of golden beads floated out.

Gu Qing's face lit up with joy.

I took it in my hands and started playing with it.

"The Marrow Cleansing Bracelet has twelve beads in total, and inside is... the Marrow Cleansing Treasure Restriction."

"Is there only one?"

"It's equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon, slightly better than the Escape Shuttle."

It is a product of the Evil Refining Method - Innate Weapon Refining Path.

The marrow-cleansing bracelet also has growth potential, but the difference is that it needs to be nourished by blood. The more powerful the blood owner is, the better the nourishing effect.

Its potential ceiling is roughly equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon.

"Devouring ghosts and drinking blood, this evil cultivation method is truly wicked."

The effect of the Marrow Cleansing Treasure is simple: wearing it on the hand will subtly improve Gu Qing's aptitude. The top-grade magic weapon is suitable for all cultivators below the seventh rank.

It needs to be worn for a long time to take effect. After refining it, Gu Qing put it on his hand and was in a good mood.

"Now that this matter is settled, come back to the mountain gate with me. Fly eastward."

"it is good."

The bird responded silently, and Gu Qing didn't pay much attention, assuming that she was still considering the pros and cons of the matter.

On the way back to the mountain, Gu Qing played with the marrow-cleansing bracelet, liking it more and more as she looked at it.

Each bead has a gold thread inside.

As he played with it, wisps of golden marrow-cleansing spiritual energy flowed into Gu Qing's body, nourishing his flesh. This tingling, numb sensation was exceptionally comfortable.

A month later.

As the Baiyue Mountains came into view, the Guhuoniao, somewhat frightened, flew over them headfirst.

Gu Qing also released his own aura.

To avoid misunderstandings with the disciples guarding the mountain and causing unnecessary trouble.

After presenting the deacon's token from the main hall of weapon crafting, the Guhuoniao transformed into human form and joined Gu Qingfei, successfully entering the mountain gate.

"Is this the Baiyue Mountains? The immortal sect of the human race?"
