Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 152 Fire Marrow Bracelet and Fire Spirit Body
Tianlao Pass, Quartermaster Department.

When Gu Qing arrived, other cultivators were exchanging items. He waited for a while before it was his turn. He then took out the identity token given to him by the Weapon Refining Department.

The bright, eye-catching numbers above are quite striking.

"3521 merit points?!"

Merit points are equivalent to one spirit stone, which means that Gu Qing earned more than three thousand spirit stones in just one year!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

The quartermaster was a little surprised that Gu Qing could even buy high-grade spiritual artifacts, but he calmed down after seeing that Gu Qing was a repairman of war artifacts.

That year, Tianlaoguan increased the distribution of merit points to a certain extent, and the weapon refiners made a fortune.

"Master Gu, what would you like to change?"

"Are there any more Lotus Elixir pills?"

"Yes, yes."

The quartermaster handed the relevant documents to Gu Qing and explained.

"This year's Fahua Pills just arrived recently, totaling twenty-four pills. Eight have already been replaced. Master Gu, are you sure you want to replace them?"

"Any idea?"

Gu Qing looked at the contents in his hand. The Fahua Pill required 1200 merit points to obtain, which was very expensive. However, when auctioned outside, the premium could rise to 2000 spirit stones. This was the benefit of the merit system.

"No, these kinds of breakthrough pills are generally limited to one exchange per person. Master Gu should be able to guess the reason, so I won't go into details."

"In addition, the effects of the Fahua Dan can only last for five years. If you don't need to take it soon, you'd better come back to exchange it when you need it."

"Okay, please redeem it for me."

"Five Sun God Fruits, five Moon God Flowers, and the refining methods for this portable cave dwelling and portable spiritual field, as well as the True Explanation of the Universal Law Restriction—give me one of each."

Gu Qing spoke at length about a whole series of things.

I have just enough merit points, with 21 points left over.

The two elixirs contain a large amount of solar and lunar power, enough for him to condense all the illusory images of the sun and moon within his physical body in one go.

Portable cave dwellings and portable spiritual fields are methods for refining spatial spiritual artifacts. He also has the Void Cloud Crystal obtained from the battle of the Falling Cloud Mountains.

Two portions were used to refine the Crimson Sky Tower and the Golden Stone Bottle.

He also has two pieces of Void Cloud Crystal, which he can use to refine two auxiliary and practical spiritual artifacts.

The cave dwelling was used for settling down and for concealing preparations.

In critical moments, it can be used as a temporary shelter; hiding inside can protect you from most dangers.

The portable spiritual field is for future encounters with precious medicines.

Harvests like the Fire Spirit Giant Tree don't need to be stored in the Gluttonous Head; planting them in the Spirit Field will keep them alive, making them perfect for nurturing innate artifacts.

These are all necessities for him.

The final general-purpose magic restriction true explanation is for preparing for weapon refining skills. He is only one step away from becoming a true seventh-grade weapon refiner. Supplementing his knowledge of magic restrictions should be enough.

There are twelve general-purpose restrictions inside, enough for him to study for a long time.

After all, the magical prohibitions he possessed were rather unorthodox, and their number was relatively small.

They left the quartermaster's office with a full haul.

Just as he was planning to build a Sun and Moon Pool for his secluded cultivation breakthrough, the Fire Spirit Giant Tree, which had been dormant for a year in the Taotie Head, suddenly reacted.

A private quiet room.

He poured his divine sense into the Taotie's head, and flames blazed brightly in the void within. The entire Fire Spirit Tree was burning, and it gradually slid down like a silkworm shedding its skin.

Inside, the gold and red beads shone with a strong light.

Its aura intensity has increased to the level of a low-grade spiritual artifact.

"It's done!" He liked this innate artifact method that automatically created artifacts. Not only could he learn new types of techniques and restrictions, but most importantly, he didn't have to spend time taking care of them like he usually did.

Like the Corpse Bone Fan, it requires time to stabilize every day, and it's still a few days away from being fully formed.

"Let's call you the Fire Marrow Bracelet."

The low-grade spiritual artifact already has three magical restrictions. The most initial and most important one is the [Marrow Cleansing Restriction]. This time, two more have been born: the [Fire Spirit Restriction] and the [Body Nourishing Restriction].

These three are all minor categories, and there aren't many weapon refiners who know them.

In particular, the prohibitions against the Marrow Cleansing Method are almost unheard of.

Such spiritual artifacts that can subtly improve a cultivator's aptitude are extremely rare. After being nurtured a second time by the Fire Spirit Tree, although they tend to improve the aptitude of fire-attribute cultivators, their applicability has been greatly reduced.

However, the improvement in effectiveness is not just a little bit.

If it was originally only effective for ninth-rank cultivators, now it is effective not only for eighth-rank cultivators, but also for seventh-rank cultivators, and has a certain effect on improving their aptitude.

Wear this ruby-like fire marrow bracelet on your wrist.

In an instant, two kinds of energy, one as gentle as water and the other as warm as fire, entered Gu Qing's body from the Fire Marrow String.

Muscles, bones, blood, and marrow... everything that passed through underwent a change.

Feeling comfortable, Gu Qing couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Having cultivated the Fire Devouring Secret Technique for many years, Gu Qing had already perfected it. The two blessings from Earth Fire and Burning Metal Fire gave Gu Qing's innate fire spirit body a sign of a second evolution.

But it has always lacked support.

The Fire Marrow String was born at this moment, as if it had given him a push.

The spirit body has officially begun its transformation. It is unclear how long it will take, but Gu Qing will definitely benefit greatly.

"Spiritual Evolution!"

This phenomenon is not uncommon in the cultivation world of Cangwu.

Cultivation below the sixth rank requires a high level of aptitude from the cultivator and can play a decisive role.

The fourth step of the Ninth-Rank Foundation Establishment, the internal and external Five Elements Body Forging, is essentially a physical evolution that makes the body more adaptable to spiritual energy and greatly enhances its aptitude.

However, the Five Elements emphasize balance, thus creating the Five Elements Spiritual Body.

The Five Elements of the Outer Realm emphasizes being unique and proficient in one aspect, which makes it easier to stand out and gain a great advantage in the early stages of cultivation.

In addition, there are naturally born spiritual beings, or special constitutions generated by some rare and precious treasures. There are many different kinds.

Generally, they are divided into four categories: Spirit, Mystery, Treasure, and Dao!

Gu Qing's physique should be on the path to becoming a Fire Spirit Profound Body. At that time, his aptitude in the fire path will undergo a complete transformation, and the power of the fire-based spells he has already mastered will increase by at least 3 to 5 times.

This is a good thing.

After calming his mind, Gu Qing focused his attention on building the Sun and Moon Divine Pool. This matter was related to his breakthrough, so he naturally had to put his heart into it.

A quiet room is sufficient for seclusion.

With the Sun God Fruit, Moon God Flower, and five other items, the amount of Sun and Moon Essence was sufficient. In addition, Gu Qing cultivated the [Ziwei Qi Gathering Strategy] to collect the Qi of the stars and transform it into dew.

The effects of Star Dew are no less than those of spiritual medicine, and may even be better, after all, it is a seventh-grade auxiliary cultivation technique, if not for its main effect of prolonging life.

It is very helpful for breaking through the fixed point.

Now Gu Qing is able to further deduce the many cultivation techniques and secret arts he has mastered. With a thousand years of lifespan plus the accumulated weapon cultivation points, he has more than enough.

It wasn't necessary, so it wasn't done.

It took Gu Qing ten days to prepare the Sun and Moon Divine Pool. Just as he was about to go into seclusion, the Corpse Bone Fan he had refined a year ago finally took shape.

I checked it immediately.
