Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 136 Burning Golden Immortal Flame, Gathering of Heroes

"This wisp of fire is not as good as a seed fire, nor can it compare to the original source of strange fire that can continuously evolve as the cultivator advances, but its main body is a half-step immortal flame that is close to the fourth grade."

"Below the sixth rank, its power is no less than that of a different kind of fire of the same rank."

"If you devour and refine it, your foundation in the Fire Element will greatly increase, and the power of Fire Element techniques will be greatly amplified when you use it as a medium."

"You are about to head to the frontier battlefield, so this is given to you to increase your combat strength and chances of survival."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing fell silent.

This wisp of the Burning Gold Immortal Flame is enough for him to use up to the sixth rank, and it is not inferior to other flames of the same level. The help it brings is immeasurable.

Aside from its inability to evolve, it has no flaws whatsoever, and that doesn't even qualify as a flaw.

Because of the voluntary will of the primordial fire seed, it is more suitable for cultivators to refine, and as a means of protection, it carries no risk.

In terms of value, it is in no way inferior to the Jade Elixir of Longevity.

Elder Jiang's actions.

Besides compensating Gu Qing, it also meant to completely win him over. If the marriage alliance fails, then resources can be used to win him over; the principle is the same.

Having grasped the meaning behind this, Gu Qing found it difficult to refuse.

This thing is perfect for him, and its arrival was crucial.

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Qing accepted it.

"Gu Qing will always remember the kindness of his teachers in giving him fire."

The implication was that he did not acknowledge the kindness shown to the Jiang family, but instead attributed the favor to Elder Jiang.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

A relationship is easy to break, but difficult to maintain.

Wan Yi acted impulsively, repaying a favor without suffering any loss, but Jiang Yuan believed that this action would create a rift between him and Gu Qing.

With Gu Qing's intelligence, he would surely guess that the lack of a senior in the master-disciple relationship was his doing. If things went well with Jiang Xi'er, Gu Qing would become the Jiang family's son-in-law, and this matter would not have any impact. It might even become a beautiful story.

The act of donating fire served two purposes: firstly, to repair the relationship.

Secondly, they would pull Gu Qing back from Wan Yi's side, reducing their relationship to a mere friendship between the two, and severing ties with Wan Yi Zhenren and Jiang Xi'er.

This implies to Gu Qing that investing in him was Jiang Yuan's own decision and had nothing to do with the Jiang family.

In this way, it was only natural for Gu Qing to accept the gift, and for the time being, he would still acknowledge Jiang Yuan's kindness.

Wait until the time is right before considering taking the relationship a step further.

"As expected, you will likely join the department that forges battlefield weapons on the frontier. These are war weapons that require the collaboration of multiple weapon refiners."

"The probability of going on a mission is extremely low, safety should not be a problem, and the reward is also top-tier."

"With your talent, you will definitely break through to the seventh rank after you return."

"The position of elder in the main hall of weapon refining will be reserved for you."

"I am leaving."

The subsequent arrangements are exactly what I wanted.

Gu Qing thought to himself, but his feelings were complicated. Just as Jiang Yuan thought, he was very resentful of Elder Jiang's actions for his own good.

After going astray, it returned to the right track, perfectly in line with his own plan, as if it had been figured out.

Unobstructed, direct stares can easily cause unease.

But he couldn't refuse such an arrangement that suited his tastes!
The longer one lives, the more one's mind becomes demonic.

The older he gets, the more monstrous he becomes!
Given his experience, it's understandable that he couldn't win. Back in his mortal days, he had been outmaneuvered by the two old men of the Zhao family more than once, but the result was always a win-win situation. He couldn't refuse, so why not?
"Guhuoniao, see Elder Jiang off."

"Oh, you're here. Elder, this way."

"No need to send anything, the thought is enough. Don't be so polite with me, hahaha~"

Watching the other person leave.

Gu Qing sighed and looked at the Guhuoniao.

Am I being too stupid?

"???"

The Guhuoniao looked completely bewildered. "You're stupid. Then what am I? An incompletely evolved bird-like paramecium?"
night.

My last night in Baiyue Mountain.

Gu Qing refined the wisp of Burning Gold Immortal Flame, which sank into his Qi Sea and embedded itself in the pillar of divine spring light, receiving nourishment from true essence and the essence of the sun and moon.

The benefit of refining it was that one-third of the Sun's Shadow in the Yin-Yang acupoints of Gu Qing's body, belonging to the Yang aspect, was successfully solidified, resulting in a significant increase in his cultivation. Correspondingly, the True Essence transformed into Flame, manifesting as the Burning Gold Flame.

Combat power has surged.

The hidden enhancement brought by the Fire Devouring Secret Technique has increased significantly, and the advancement of the Innate Fire Spirit Body is more than half completed, with countless brand-new Zhu Rong patterns appearing in the muscles, bones, blood, and marrow.

Perhaps it can refine a true source of different flames.

He can complete a second evolution of his physique.

"The limit of the Fire Devouring Secret Technique is a single type of flame. Perhaps we can use the Heavenly Longevity Technique to deduce it once, and integrate it into the Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture, making it one of the complementary secret techniques!"

I glanced at the sky.

Six hours passed, and it was time to set off the next day.

"Let's meet up on Tissot No. 9 first."

"Let's see who the talents are this year! Ubume! Let's go!"

"I'm coming."

…………

Bozhou Sentai.

A plateau-like mountain on the outer ring of Baiyue Mountain, the entire mountain is cut in half horizontally, forming an extremely flat ground.

The ground was paved with white jade, and there were countless palaces and pavilions.

The massive Sky Shuttle flying ships were docked on the platform. There were at least a thousand of them at a glance. They were all the hard work of weapon refiners and had great potential for war.

It exists as a means of transportation on ordinary days.

At critical moments, the Yin-Yang Extinction Divine Light carried on each Sky Shuttle can instantly kill a seventh-grade cultivator and blast a high mountain into dust. Driven by a massive amount of spirit crystals, its power is terrifying and unparalleled.

Every few months, a fleet of more than ten Sky Shuttles would be sent to the frontier to transport supplies. A large portion of these supplies consisted of cultivation resources, while the other portion was materials for setting up formations and building fortresses.

The border between humans and demons has never been defined, and war has never stopped, but it has been confined to a small area and has not expanded into a full-scale war.

As far as Gu Qing knew, this was a tacit understanding among the high-ranking members of the human race. Not only in the Southern Wilderness, but also in the entire world, except for the Northern Wilderness where Taihe Mountain is located, there was no war.

There are many purposes.

Gu Qing was unaware of the specific details.

Number 9, Class A.

When Gu Qing and Guhuoniao boarded the ship, the other thirty-one people were basically all there; he was the last one to arrive.

None of them were over a hundred years old; it was truly a gathering of outstanding individuals.

However, when Gu Qing saw one of them, he felt a sense of annoyance for no reason.

Lu Zhenyan!
He happened to see Gu Qing and immediately glared at her with hostility.

"Oh, isn't this Junior Brother Gu Qing?"

"I didn't expect you to have such talent. Your family must have given you a lot of benefits, after all, you're a dog kept in captivity, hahaha!"

He had already witnessed the narrow-mindedness of this person last time.

They don't have much of a brain yet.

When Gu Qing first met him at the Sword Forging Manor, he had a good impression of him, after all, he had given him a lecture.

Looking back now, I realize I was blind.

Lu Zhenyan's words drew everyone's attention, and the direct descendants of the five mortal kingdoms made no attempt to hide their disgust.

The native cultivators of the Southern Yue Kingdom, however, were simply curious.

Now that they've broken off all pretense of civility, Gu Qing isn't afraid of offending anyone.

"Lu Zhenyan, you still dare to go to the frontier? Aren't you afraid Yue Wuji will come after you?"

“I am a fellow disciple of Yue Ming, unlike you who are beaten to a pulp every time. You can’t beat Yue Wuji, nor can you beat his brother. What’s the point of you living?”

"To become a disgrace to the Lü family?"

"Heh~"

The contemptuous tone and disdainful gaze struck him like a dagger to the heart. He had already been punished by his family for missing out on the Fahua Pill at the last Tongbao auction.

The number of culture sequences decreased significantly.
