Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 157 Countless Demon Slayers

"A gilded vein..."

This ore is a seventh-grade lower-level gold-type spirit iron, and the source material, [Taiyi Xuanjin Iron], is even ranked sixth-grade lower-level. It can continuously produce gilded ore, making it a valuable resource in itself.

It is also the most precious treasure of the two-headed demon lion clan.

"If we can get our hands on it, the Golden Stone Bottle might be able to help us advance to a mid-grade spiritual artifact."

Gu Qing thought to himself that he had some longing for mineral resources.

The Golden Stone Treasure Bottle is an auxiliary type of ethereal vessel used for storage.

It can only store minerals of the metal and iron type. The more types there are, the more the magical artifact can absorb the "golden energy" and "precious energy" emitted by the minerals, thus gaining advancement. This, in turn, feeds back to the stored minerals, allowing them to be upgraded in rank.

This magical artifact is based on the fundamental principle of mutual benefit.

He had made this preparation when he was forging the weapon, and he could obtain materials for weapon forging in a continuous manner, laying the foundation for him to accumulate a large number of weapon-related points.

Moreover, since there is always stock available, constantly relying on fire-consuming resources from the treasury of the Baiyue Mountain Refining Hall is not a sustainable solution.

In the territory of the two-headed lion demon clan.

Gu Qing was in stealth mode. On his way to his destination, he encountered many patrol teams, but none of them took action. The support mission was mainly focused on rescuing people.

They secretly observed and planned their escape route.

"Is this the gilt vein?"

The open-pit mine has hundreds of mine shafts scattered haphazardly across the surface of varying terrain. A large number of eighth-rank demonic lions completely surround the mine vein, numbering at least several hundred.

Having just suffered a major defeat at the front, the two-headed lion clan's most valuable asset was this gold mine, so they naturally deployed heavy troops to guard it to prevent the invading human demon-hunting groups from taking advantage of it.

But it was still too late.

There are three seventh-rank demon lions in charge of the search and capture operation: two lower-ranking and one middle-ranking.

The two-headed lion demon clan does not have a demon king of the sixth rank.

This is a good thing.

After observing for a while, Gu Qing lightly touched his brow with his index finger, and his divine sense, which had reached its limit, swept out through his Niwan Palace.

In an instant, the two-headed lion, a mid-ranking seventh-grade cultivator, reacted and roared.

"A powerful divine sense swept across and gathered!"

With the Fire Star Crimson Crow Diagram at its fourth level of perfection, its divine sense power was comparable to that of a high-ranking seventh-grade demon. As expected, stimulated by this demon, it chose to protect its people in front of it.

Gu Qing chuckled softly.

The Flame Lord's Secret Manual was activated, using the Burning Gold Fire as its seed. A crimson-gold sea of ​​fire poured down, engulfing the entire gilded mine with immense power.

Before the sea of ​​fire could be quelled, a large number of eighth-rank demonic lions spontaneously combusted, their fur turning red. They instinctively rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the terrifying flames, while their shrill screams made the scene chaotic.

"not good."

"Activate, Golden Radiance Four Directions Formation!"

The three leading seventh-rank demon lions quickly dispersed, and as their demonic power surged, a square golden barrier rapidly rose, but it had not yet been able to envelop all the two-headed lions within it.

A streak of dark light shot out from the sea of ​​fire.

It is the mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Ghost-Slaying Sword. This treasure is not only effective against ghosts, but its strange sword aura and spell-breaking effect are also extremely useful against cultivators, and it is no exception against demons!

"what!"

Before a low-ranking seventh-grade two-headed lion could react, it was cleaved in two, its internal organs spilling onto the ground.

The Golden Radiance Four Directions Formation was broken as soon as it was raised.

The inferno continued to rage, and a large number of eighth-rank demon lions died at the hands of the Burning Gold Flame.

But then a crimson light rose again, and the Crimson Cloud Tower emerged from the sea of ​​fire, attempting to replicate the power of the Ghost-Slaying Sword, but it was blocked by the seventh-rank mid-level demon lion. "The same move cannot work on me twice."

"Who are you, you scoundrel? Show yourself at once!"

Two streams of light, one black and one blood-red, descended simultaneously.

The crimson sword, meant to slay demons, pierced the skull of another seventh-rank lower-level demon lion, its blood, marrow, and flesh completely devoured by the evil sword.

Black is for slaying demons, and it attacks the last seventh-rank demon lion's blind spot with unstoppable force.

At that time, it was being held back by the Crimson Cloud Tower and could only release its demonic energy to form a golden shield behind it, but it was of no use.

It has the effect of breaking through the restrictions of magical treasures and is specifically designed to break through magical shields.

A sword pierced through its vest and broke through its heart. The dignified elder of the Seventh Rank, the Two-Headed Lion Clan, died such a humiliating death, without even seeing the face of his enemy.

The heads of three of the most threatening enemies have been confirmed.

Gu Qing emerged from the sea of ​​fire, his face slightly pale. He used the Demon-Slaying Sword to devour the remaining flesh and bones of the three creatures, while simultaneously manipulating the Ghost-Slaying Sword to harvest the hundreds of two-headed lions trapped in the fire.

In this battle, he relied on the advantages of the spiritual artifacts, as well as his vast divine sense and magical power, to be able to control three spiritual artifacts at the same time to fight the enemy. Generally speaking, being able to use two spiritual artifacts at the same time is already a sign of a person with vast divine sense and magical power, but he has even more!

"The energy expenditure is acceptable, and the power of the two swords meets my expectations."

"Currently, their combat strength is among the top tier of the mid-seventh rank, but I wonder how strong the upper-seventh rank experts are..."

I made a brief summary in my mind.

Gu Qing slaughtered all the two-headed lions in the gilded mine, vanquishing countless demons.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was already full, and the excess corpses were stored in the Crimson Cloud Tower. Once it was almost digested, it could be absorbed again. The remaining remains were used to cultivate the Demon Puppet Fan.

Not wasting a single hair is truly thrifty and diligent!

Unfortunately, no storage bags or similar treasures were found. The demon race of the Southern Wilderness generally had poor crafting skills, and their storage treasures were mostly ancient artifacts passed down from ancient times.

Individuals may possess relatively few of these, but correspondingly, acquiring even one is a great gain.

"Logically speaking, a seventh-grade demon should already be qualified to have a storage bag. This is strange."

After a brief pause, Gu Qing rushed into the mine, his Crimson Crow Divine Sense sweeping out unrestrainedly, and soon discovered the Demon Hunting Team hiding in a blind spot in a mine tunnel with open front and back.

Six people, no more, no less.

"Come out, it's safe now."

The Frost Squad was stunned when they heard the voice that suddenly rang in their ears, and then their expressions turned to ecstasy.

They could still recognize the aura of the human race's divine sense. Knowing that their savior had arrived, they immediately rushed outside. Gu Qing did not withdraw his divine sense power but continued to delve deeper.

Finally, the target was found deep inside the mine.

"Taiyi Xuanjin Iron! A mineral source!"

Once acquired, it means control of a mineral vein. As long as it is buried in the ground, it can receive nourishment from the earth's spiritual energy and continuously produce gilded ore.

In this respect, the Golden Stone Vase can replace the nourishment of the earth's spiritual energy.

The output may be slightly inferior, but the effect is the same. Carrying a piece of ore with you is an irresistible temptation for a weapon refiner!
"It's a worthwhile trip."

The Frost Hunting Squad rushed out, while Gu Qing ran in.

They arrived at their destination almost simultaneously.

"This……"

When the six people saw the light of day again, they were horrified to see the pitch-black mine and the overwhelming stench of blood!
They knew how many people the Two-Headed Lion Clan had mobilized.

As a result, not a single survivor was found.
