Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 168 Instigating Civil War
Another half month later, Gu Qing was searching for rare and precious materials to increase his magical power.

Regardless of whether they are human or demon cultivators, their cultivation paths all belong to the Four Nine Immortal Paths.

Most of the elixirs that are effective for demons also have the same effect on humans.

This is why Baiyue Mountain refers to demonic power as a kind of power of longevity; in terms of heaven and earth, there is no difference between the two.

Now you have entered the seventh rank, the realm of magical power.

The slow process of accumulating magical power through painstaking effort was far too slow for Gu Qing. With the Taotie Refining Technique, he believed he had a unique advantage in accumulating power at this level.

They should be moving very fast.

He continuously consumed and refined Thunder Spirit Fruits to improve his own Thunder Dao aptitude, laying a solid foundation for future cultivation of the Thunder Dao.

While exploring the mysterious places, they seized benefits from various demon clans, consuming and refining anything edible as soon as possible, not seeking to refine it into pills, but only to enhance their magical power.

This experience truly made him quite advanced.

At least a quarter of the energy threads in the middle dantian have been filled, which is quite fast.

This day.

The mother-child communication talisman specially left for Si Ji has responded, which means that the Spirit Sealing Pillar has been discovered and the real battle is about to begin.

Gu Qing immediately abandoned all his current affairs and rushed to his destination.

At full speed.

three days later.

A vast ancient architectural ruin came into view, with ancient demonic script inscribed on plaques and stone tablets. This place seemed to be the former palace of the Venomous Serpent Lord.

However, as time went by, it completely lost its inherent spirituality.

It's not very valuable.

Only the Spirit Sealing Pillar at the very center, still radiating spiritual light, represents the greatest value.

Led by Mang Qian, there were a total of 36 seventh-rank snake demons, followed by nearly 300 eighth-rank snake demons. Only five half-demon prison carts remained, indicating a significant loss of resources.

He was standing under that pillar, seemingly pondering a solution.

Opposite him were Qianzhu Jun and her Golden Eagle Guards. They did not make a move immediately, presumably waiting for the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit to be born.

Further out, scattered demons such as the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear and the Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros stood far away, looking like they wanted to get closer but dared not.

"interesting."

The treasure vault beneath the Spirit Sealing Pillar must be the most valuable part of this secret realm.

Gu Qing wasn't sure if she could snatch anything.

Do your best.

However, the situation changed faster than Gu Qing had imagined. Mang Qian threw several half-demons into the barrier, and they melted rapidly in the high temperature, just like chocolate.

Undoubtedly, this is a form of poison array protection.

As it happened to be a perfect match for Mang Qian's major, he was overjoyed and immediately abandoned all his clansmen, plunging headlong into the poison, which had no effect on him at all.

At this moment, one of the Golden Eagle Guards suddenly shouted.

"Mang Qian, do you intend to monopolize this treasure for yourself?!"

After saying that, a golden blade slashed out. The other demons couldn't tell, but Gu Qing recognized it at a glance. It was a disguise of human magic, which meant that it was Jiang Wang and his group who had started the trouble.

He actually managed to infiltrate the Golden Eagle Guard.

The sudden attack, though it did not cause any real casualties, acted like a fuse, completely igniting the serpent demons loyal to Mang Qian.

"Insanity!"

"Shameless!"

"Rare and precious materials belong to the capable!"

The war of words began, and it was noticeable that although the snake demons were furious, they were still suppressing their desire to attack, perhaps due to Mang Qian's arrangements.

Unfortunately, we couldn't stop someone from causing trouble.

Suddenly, a demon in the snake demon group shot an arrow, aiming directly at Prince Qianzhu Jun, the Golden-Backed Eagle.

"Wow, Jiang Wang's team has split into two, each playing a different role. What a great assist!"

Although the attack on Qianzhu Jun was of little use, it still enraged the Golden Eagle Guards.

Before Qianzhu could react, the bloody battle began!

Countless golden giant eagles soared into the sky, emitting sharp cries. Their extremely sharp golden feathers resembled an overturned celestial river, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of eighth-rank snake demons died due to their terrifying density.

Once blood is drawn, it becomes uncontrollable.

A seventh-rank snake demon transformed into its true form, its massive serpentine body shooting out like lightning, and biting several eighth-rank golden eagles to death in one gulp.

The snake demon's side had an overwhelming advantage in the number of seventh-rank demons.

Therefore, in a single glance.

The Golden Eagle Guards suffered nearly half their losses, while the Snake Demons' side suffered the deaths of only eighth-rank Snake Demons.

"Damn it."

Qianzhu Jun frowned. Before coming, she had already arranged a plan for her subordinates. Originally, she was going to wait for the appearance of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit or the Strange Fire before taking action.

If we call a halt now, things will be very different if the fighting breaks out again later. Changing orders frequently is hardly the behavior of a ruler.

Mang Qian, who had broken into the forbidden area, was now in a precarious situation.

The snake clan cannot afford to offend any of the ten Eagle Kings' descendants unless their adoptive father completes the inheritance and advances to the fifth-rank demon lord in the future, in which case they will be able to contend with the demon emperor.

If blood is drawn at this point, regardless of victory or defeat, the snake clan will be unable to bear the consequences once they leave.

Moreover, the opponent is a Golden-backed Eagle... a Golden-backed Eagle that has suffered heavy losses...

This can easily lead to misunderstandings from multiple parties.

If we offend the Demon Emperor, Tianlin City will be nothing but a passing cloud, vanishing in an instant.

"Stop, stop!"

Mang Qian hurriedly ran to the edge of the barrier. This thing was easy to get in but hard to get out. External sounds couldn't get in, and internal sounds couldn't get out either.

Once the great battle begins, who cares about Mang Qian who went off to seize the opportunity?

Over the sky.

Having figured it out, Qianzhujun snorted coldly. Since the snake clan dared to resist, then let's fight them!
With a flap of its golden wings, a golden stream of light arrived in an instant.

The body was divided into three, each exuding the aura of the seventh rank. It is said that after cultivating to the realm of splitting the mind into thoughts, if there is a suitable secret method, the cultivator can have the ability to create clones.

The separated spiritual body possesses 50% of the original body's strength, making it extremely useful for both combat and handling miscellaneous tasks.

Qianzhu Jun held up two golden swords upside down.

He instantly killed two low-ranking seventh-grade snake demons, then threw out a banner array treasure and shouted.

"Form the Golden Eagle Overturning the Sky Formation!"

…………

…………

"Crazy woman, madwoman!"

No matter how you look at it, it's a lose-lose situation.

The scattered demons on the outskirts were caught off guard by the sudden attack, which resulted in the deaths of many demons, leaving them momentarily at a loss.

Within the barrier, Mang Qian clenched his fists and watched as his kinsmen died one after another under the golden sword. Those were all his subordinates, the backbone of the snake clan, with one or two of them having the potential to advance to the sixth rank.

As a result, they were buried here.

"Wait."

Unable to influence the course of the battle, the only option was to maximize profits. So, they went to the Spirit Sealing Pillar and used a special technique to open a mechanism stone door at the base of the pillar.

Below lies the treasure trove of the Venomous Serpent Lord.

Mang Qian strode inside.

About six breaths later, a transparent figure followed him in; it was Gu Qing!

The fighting outside is in full swing; people's attention isn't on this.

Therefore, Gu Qing's tailing plan was successfully implemented. The poison was dense in the air, and with each breath, it would be inhaled into the body and then burned away by the high temperature.

It won't affect him in the short term.

If you stay there too long, you never know.
