Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 158 Rescue Successfully - Taiyi Xuanjin Iron

They even cleaned up the battlefield spotless, leaving not a single hair behind.

"Captain?"

"and many more."

Taking a deep breath, the disheveled regimental commander spoke loudly.

"I don't know which senior took on the rescue mission. I am extremely grateful. I, Li Shuang, will always remember it."

"Let's go, leave this place quickly."

Gu Qing had no intention of showing himself. He was just trying to earn some merit points, enough to buy a [Heaven-Piercing and Earth-Penetrating Magic Talisman], and he didn't want to do anything more.

On the other hand, he wanted to postpone announcing his breakthrough to the seventh rank, so as not to let the rapid breakthrough attract the covetousness of his offspring.

The less trouble, the better.

Gu Qing stored the Taiyi Xuanjin Iron into the Golden Stone Treasure Bottle and followed behind the Chongshuang Squad, secretly escorting them until they crossed the Rift Valley Abyss.

"mission completed."

Return to Tianlao Pass via another route.

Gu Qing submitted the task immediately. After verification, he used his merit points to exchange for a distress spell and the remaining 100 points to exchange for some auxiliary materials for weapon crafting.

This left the Frost Squad empty-handed again, and they were still somewhat disappointed not to see their saviors.

On Gu Qing's side.

Upon returning to their residence, they immediately went to the underground fire chamber.

"Taiyi Xuanjin Iron! A low-grade sixth-rank ore source, worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones. This is a golden goose!"

Its shape resembles a peculiar flower.

It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an overall hollowed-out ring shape. It is black and gold in color and exudes a charming Taiyi golden light.

Gu Qing emptied the gold and stone treasure bottle, placed it at the very bottom, and then filled and buried all the other types of gold and iron minerals.

The bottle, originally jet black, now has many golden lines spreading and climbing up from the bottom. The precious light of the sixth-grade mineral source has begun to reflect back onto the body of the bottle. After several years, it will be able to be upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual weapon!
"It's strange, really. The Two-Headed Lion Clan doesn't even have a sixth-grade cultivator, so how could they possess a sixth-grade mineral source? Even if it's just a lower-grade one, it's still a rare treasure for any power."

"How strange! How bizarre!"

Just as Gu Qing finished processing the harvest and was about to go to the Guhuoniao's place to check on the eggs, on the other side of the Rift Valley Abyss...

The territory of the two-headed demon lion.

The gilded mine, having lost its source of precious minerals, is now completely ruined. Once the remaining gilded ore is mined out, it will be of no use whatsoever, and the resource is non-renewable.

The patriarch of the two-headed lion clan, a lion-headed man of the seventh rank, was kneeling on the uneven rocks, his head bowed, his face full of shame.

"Your Highness, I have failed to live up to your trust. The Taiyi Xuanjin Iron has been taken away by human cultivators, and the Two-Headed Lion Clan has suffered heavy losses, losing a quarter of its core strength and two of its five elders. Please punish me, Your Highness."

The figure in front of me had beautiful long, golden hair.

She has a slender figure, with a curvaceous bust and buttocks, and exudes a subtle, sunny aura.

She wore a flowing, gilded long dress with a high slit adorned with jade pieces, revealing her fair and delicate feet. Her boots reached her calves, and she wore flesh-colored silk stockings.

Her features were delicate and well-proportioned; while not stunningly beautiful, she possessed a dashing and charismatic air.

When his subordinates apologized, he simply scoffed.

"Jin Shuang, you have been under my protection for over a hundred years. Since your clan has suffered heavy losses, why bother to apologize to me again?"

Want me to cut you a few more times?

Jin Hua immediately kowtowed.

"I have lost the Taiyi Xuanjin Iron. Even being torn to pieces would not be too much for me. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"it is good!"

The blonde woman actually pulled out a dagger and stabbed the two-headed lion chieftain three times, each time piercing him through.

Thus, all the two-headed demon lions around breathed a sigh of relief.

Having accepted the punishment, the matter is considered closed. Now is the time to recover the losses.

"The Battle of Tianlao Pass was lost, my father was injured, and the Taiyi Xuanjin Iron that I nurtured here was also taken away by human cultivators. I might as well give up on this line."

"From this day forward, the territory of the Two-Headed Lion Clan will be moved back two hundred miles. Keep an eye on any cultivators passing through, but do not attack them. Report their locations to me, Your Highness. Do you understand?"

"I obey my orders."

"Go away."

Not long after the two-headed demon lion clan dispersed, a golden-backed giant eagle soared into the sky with astonishing momentum. It had already reached the seventh rank, just one step away from reaching the middle third rank, and was known as the "True Immortal Realm".

…………

…………

Tianlao Pass.

In the room directly above the Earth Fire Chamber, the Guhuoniao was incubating its eggs in a rather primitive way, leaving Gu Qing speechless.

Push open the door and enter the path.

"Get ready, it's time to go."

The Guhuoniao was taken aback.

"So fast? I just squatted down..."

"Go to Qingyun Tower to incubate. I'll explain the situation to you after we set off."

Gu Qing's urgency stems from what happened half an hour earlier.

Before Lian Chutiangong left, he left him a letter, which he had just received. The message was a reply from Elder Jiang Yuan from Baiyue Mountain.

The gist of it is that with the endorsement of Hall Master Lian Chu, the position of Elder is secure, and he can choose his position when he returns. Elder Jiang also gave him a message.

[Within the demon realm, the area of ​​the Ten Thousand Serpents' Nest has manifested an ancient secret realm. Its exit will open within three months, and it is highly likely to contain some kind of extraordinary flame left behind by a serpent king of the ancient demon court.]

The Nest of Ten Thousand Snakes is located adjacent to the territory of the Heavenly Silkworm Clan.

Gu Qing decided to go and try his luck. Most of the secret realms exist in reliance on the Cangwu cultivation world, like fruits hanging on a tree, and there are certain restrictions on entering them.

Some of these restrictions are set by the creators of the secret realm, while others are formed naturally. Due to the lack of internal rules for the small world, there are many limitations on cultivation.

He had never explored the secret realm, but he was confident he could give it a try.

Logically speaking, the secret realms of the demon race should be openly explored by the demon race, and human cultivators would find it difficult to even get close, let alone enter them.

Unfortunately, human cultivators are adept at using external resources and have their own methods for smuggling themselves across.

Otherwise, why would Elder Jiang have told him this news?

Such acts of plundering resources by entering the territory of the demon race are commonplace, mainly committed by seventh-rank cultivators, and are scattered throughout the four seas and eight wastelands.

Upon arriving at the destination, Gu Qing contacted a person named Jiang Wang, who then secured a spot for entry.

Therefore, after making all the necessary preparations, I hurriedly set off with the Guhuoniao.

The Guhuoniao belongs to the category of demons and ghosts.

In layman's terms, he's half-demon and half-ghost, so he's somewhat of a local and won't suffer the same treatment as pure humans like Gu Qing, which is why he's still somewhat useful.

on the other hand.

Gu Qing has mastered the Dragon Transformation Technique and is now cultivating the ninth level of the Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture. He can now transform from his previous dragon claw form into a half-dragon form.

They look like a demon race member who has not fully transformed into a human.

If it can break through to the sixth rank and enter the middle third rank in the future, it will be able to transform into a complete Fiery Dragon, exactly the same as the true form of the demon race.

As long as the magical power doesn't run dry, it can be maintained indefinitely.

This is his true reliance in penetrating the demon realm. He is quite adept at using his aura. As long as he doesn't use his magic power and fights with his physical strength, the probability of being detected is not high!
