Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 172 Earth Milk Lake Mana Condensate
No wonder a new type of poisonous fire could be born.

This Milky Lake alone is a treasure trove that comes along only once in a lifetime; the wealth of Lord Youdu Snake is truly immeasurable.

Everything was done for him.

"Cool!"

After checking around and confirming there were no hidden threats, Gu Qing began to continuously collect water from this special lake.

For the first time, the increasingly extravagant storage space of the Taotie head was completely filled.

The Treasure Pouch and the Void Ring are no exception.

Even Qingyun Tower was flooded by Gu Qing, and the Guhuoniao living there expressed great dissatisfaction.

Earth milk is not as effective as its superior spiritual substance.

The effect of refining the body to increase magical power is much weaker, but the sheer number of people doing it makes up for it.

Fill every available space with food.

Gu Qing arrived at the center of the lake and plunged in. All the openings in his body revealed the ancient "Ba" character Dao pattern.

It looked as if there were 720 extra big mouths.

The Elephant-Swallowing Divine Power!
Then, the Taotie Dao Pattern reappeared, and the mysterious and unpredictable devouring power surged into the body, completely refining the enormous energy that was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

The outward manifestation of this is the continuous drop in the lake's water level.

Gu Qing's body underwent a small leap forward comparable to a marrow cleansing and bone-renewing process, with the focus on the Qi Sea in the middle Dantian.

The magic threads will add a strand every few breaths.

It's countless times better than simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade treasure; its effects are ridiculously good.

For normal human cultivators...

To cultivate to the seventh rank, one's aptitude is already at the level of a superior person. Without a special physique, the difference won't be too great.

The speed at which a seventh-rank lower-level cultivator accumulates mana is very slow.

Even with the aid of elixirs, it would take more than fifty years to achieve the first step of perfecting one's magical power and reach the level of liquefying magical power, and the elixirs would not be of poor quality.

Gu Qing has already accumulated more than half of the progress in such a short time.

The Taotie Dao Pattern is practically a cheat code for cultivation, possessing an irreplaceable advantage in energy accumulation.

Previously, due to the limited ability of the human body to absorb food, Gu Qing could only use pills to generate cash. Now, with the Devouring Elephant Divine Power, this deficiency has been remedied.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miniature Taotie (a mythical beast in human form).

Even if one simply absorbs and refines the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the speed of cultivation progress will still surpass that of wealthy individuals who consume pills and elixirs.

Normally, it would take a long time to cultivate.

In just three days, the water level of Earth Milk Lake dropped by nearly half, and Gu Qing's magical power accumulation reached its first complete state.

Under the compression of the body by the frantic influx of external energy.

Mana liquefaction achieved!
"call……"

Exhaling a foot of white breath, and looking at the small ball of mana liquid that was re-emerging in his dantian, Gu Qing felt that his strength had reached a new level.

Once the liquid mana fills the middle dantian again, one can break through to the seventh-grade middle level of the Refining Evil Spirit and Nourishing Soul realm, which requires one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Qi to assist in the breakthrough.

In this regard, the Earthly Fiend Abyss of the Baiyue Mountain sect has a complete set of seventy-two Qi. Although many of them have been used by predecessors, there are still many left, enough to last for tens of thousands of years.

This is the foundation.

The body has absorbed too much milk in a short period of time and is already overloaded; it needs some time to recover.

"There's still nearly half a lake of Earth Milk left. It would be such a waste to leave like this. Let's delay our departure from the secret realm a bit..."

Thinking about it, I quickly made a decision.

The difficulty in the process of transforming magical power lies in accumulating magical power. It is acceptable to spend some time to digest the shortcut that you have finally encountered.

"Perfect timing, let's go explore the secret realm again and cause some trouble for the Heavenly Silkworm Clan."

Before leaving the underground space, Gu Qing deliberately used the large bricks and stones from the underground palace that had a shielding effect to fill the hole again.

Only then did he leisurely arrive at the base of the Spirit Sealing Pillar, cautiously peeking out to observe the situation outside. This was after the negotiations broke down three days ago.

The demons, including She Xue, began a fierce battle with Qian Zhu Jun. For three whole days, under the endless stream of trump cards revealed by this Golden-Backed Eagle Prince, the snake clan's forces were rapidly reduced in number.

Only three people, including She Xue, remained, having exhausted their reserves, with only their physical bodies having any strength left.

Qianzhu Jun, however, was at the end of his life, his demonic energy and physical body completely depleted.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will die here.

"Your Highness, we cannot work together if we have different paths."

She Xue sighed for a moment, then raised the butcher's knife in his hand, ready to strike.

At this moment.

Gu Qing, with perfect timing, suddenly appeared beside Qian Zhu Jun in his demonic form and raised his hand to block the attack.

The rescue was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

He felt that saving Qianzhu Jun was more effective than letting her die here and inciting a civil war between the Golden-backed Eagle and the Snake Clan.

Against the backdrop of the conflict between humans and demons, the two sides have already reached a point of even strength. The Golden-backed Eagle is not the Sky-Soaring Eagle. If it were a direct descendant of the Demon Emperor, the Snake Clan would surely be annihilated without any room for negotiation.

However, the direct descendants of the ten Eagle King clans are essentially dogs raised by the Demon Emperor, and all their interests must serve the Sky-Slaying Eagle clan.

The Demon Emperor of the Luetian lineage has always had a bad reputation and is not favored by the demons in the Southern Wilderness.

In addition, Mang Qian, the adopted son of the Lord of Tianlin City, also died tragically in the secret realm. Both sides lost their heirs. The former, being of humble origin, was more likely to gain the resonance of the Southern Wilderness demon race.

If we want to change our policy and change the mindset of the demons.

There's a high probability that there will be a lot of noise but little action. These are all speculations based on the situation, some reasonable and some unreasonable.

Therefore, the key factor influencing Gu Qing's decision was actually this mysterious and elusive thing called spiritual intuition.

Some people call it "a sudden whim," while others call it "someone suddenly inspired."

For cultivators, this unfounded premonition is a warning from their future selves, and it deserves attention.

This intuition prompted Gu Qing to act instinctively.

Although I don't know where it should be used, it will probably be useful.

In despair, Qianzhu Jun saw the blade aimed at him blocked by a hand covered in crimson scales, and his spirits lifted, regaining a glimmer of brilliance.

His blood-soaked body barely managed to maintain an arc.

He saw a handsome face unique to the demon race and murmured to himself.

"Demon Profound..."

The successive battles were a quagmire for the other races of demons. Three days ago, after She Xue used the Blood Mist Technique to seal off the surrounding area, they basically dispersed to seek new opportunities.

If they were still here, some demon genius who wanted to curry favor with the Golden-backed Eagle might have intervened in this matter, and Gu Qing wouldn't have had to step in to save the day.

That's how things work out by chance.

Bad fate!

When you're at a low point in your life, at a life-or-death turning point, the hero saving the damsel in distress may be cliché, but you have to admit it's very effective.

She looked down at those watery, golden eyes.

Gu Qing knew that he had hooked up with a rich woman, and this connection would definitely come in handy in the future.

The butcher's knife was blocked.

She Xue suddenly jumped a step, creating distance between himself and Gu Qing, and said in a deep voice.

“Friend, this is a matter between me and the Golden-backed Eagle Clan. I advise you not to get involved rashly. With your cultivation level, even if we are not in good condition, dealing with you will not be a problem.”

Gu Qing straightened up and took a deep breath.
