Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 175 Enmity and Extortion
Less than half a month later.

Near a desolate mountain, two geniuses of the Heavenly Silkworm Clan were looking in fear at the golden shadow in the sky above.

A month ago, that person was beaten badly by the snake clan.

Now they are bullying you. Can Yuan and Can Mu exchanged a glance and turned their attention to the one who actually did it, which was Mo Xuan.

"You two, hand over your storage items and you may leave."

Gu Qing calmly recounted the events.

Using someone else's power to extort money is a convenient and easy way to do so.

Even the two silkworm demons were unwilling.

Gu Qing moved a little closer and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Before you, there were twelve others who had already submitted."

In other words, it is not shameful to submit to the strong and the authoritative; they are not the only ones, and no one will tell anyone.

Can Yuan and Can Mu's ideas changed immediately.

Although there was still some gritted teeth, the stubbornness was gone.

"I can give you the items, but you can't look through the storage bag."

Things can be lost, but one should leave behind a clean reputation.

The phrase "cleanliness" here doesn't mean there's anything unclean in the bag. Rather, it means that cultivators all have secrets, some of which are often kept in their storage bags. Being extorted for treasures and resources is a different matter from being searched.

In fact, Qianzhu-jun is not entirely a fool.

Perhaps sensing something, Gu Qing left some room for maneuver in his actions, not wanting to completely offend these geniuses.

But who is Gu Qing?

He's the kind of person who'd squeeze oil out of a stone! Asking him to stop eating beef and start gnawing on beef bones is just asking the impossible!

You can't make that demand of someone you love.

Thus, Mo Xuan became a henchman, a lackey, and was regarded as a lackey and a rotten dragon.

It has a terrible reputation.

And then came a series of unexpected events, from Mo Xuan's indiscriminate killing of geniuses, to the bloody battle between the Snake Clan and Qian Zhu Jun, and now the exploitation of their resources.

There are too many rotten things going on.

Even though the secret realm has a ten-year opening period, many demon geniuses cannot bear such humiliation, and many have already left the secret realm, unable to calm their emotions.

When I get back, I must submit a report to Qianzhu Jun.

This led to the duo moving faster and faster, almost beating up all the living demons in the entire secret realm. The twelve people mentioned earlier were the twelve who resisted the most fiercely, and were severely injured by Mo Xuan, and the matter was dropped.

These two silkworms are the last two remaining.

The situation was dire, and the two demons had no choice but to obey. Gu Qing inspected the treasures they had handed over, many of which were obtained after arriving in the secret realm, mostly spiritual herbs.

There were also a few sacred trees and a dozen or so mulberry seeds.

In addition, there are the resources they possess, such as spirit stones, demon materials, and so on.

One person alone could rival Gu Qing's wealth when he first entered the secret realm.

"The silkworm is skilled at spinning silk, which is called 'heavenly silkworm silk' by the world. Among them, the best ones have seven colors and are called 'seven-colored silkworm silk' or 'seven-colored precious silk'."

Why haven't you handed it over?

"This... don't go too far. The Rainbow Silk is a precious material that our clan never shares with outsiders. How could the two of us possibly have it?"

"That's it?"

"Mo Xuan, can't you understand me?!"

"You're not even going to give it to me? I think you're missing out on your ancestors."

"you……"

"and many more!!!"

Canmu stopped the anxious Canyuan, staring at Gu Qing with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to remember him.

"We'll give it to you."

"Brother Mu, this is against the clan rules."

Without waiting for a reply, a piece of seven-colored cloth quickly appeared in front of Gu Qing. It had obviously been preliminarily processed and was enough to make a magic robe.

There is an old saying among humans: "Those who understand the times are heroes."

“Canmu, you are a smart man. The Eagle Clan’s power is like heavenly might in this Southern Wilderness.” “If you are truly capable, why not go to other demon realms and seek out ally of the same blood?”

He gave a brief reminder, then ignored the two little insects that had been robbed of everything and went to heaven to report back.

Can Yuan wanted to say something more, but Can Mu pulled him away.

This Demon Xuan is truly unfathomable; he's impossible to fathom what he's planning.

…………

"Master Zhu, I have not failed you."

“You’ve done a great job. What you’ve gained during this period is enough to make up for the losses of the Golden Eagle Guard. I plan to go into seclusion for a while to fully recover from my injuries before leaving the secret realm.”

"What are your plans?"

Recalling her previous speculations and sensing the danger, Gu Qing was reluctant to go out directly.

Besides, he hasn't finished consuming the Earth Milk Lake beneath the Sealing Spirit Pillar yet. Now that more than a month has passed and his body has recovered, it's time to go there again.

He estimated that he could fully capitalize on this opportunity in two to four attempts.

"I'm going to find Mang Qian."

"I had almost forgotten about that."

Qianzhu Jun thought for a moment, then took out a gold token from his side and handed it to Gu Qing while explaining.

"This is the Golden Eagle Token; seeing the token is like seeing me."

"There is also the Void Yin-Yang Escape Formation Formation inscribed by my clan's formation master. It can be used three times, and each escape distance exceeds ten thousand miles. It can also be used twice more."

"If you succeed, you will be hunted down by the people of Tianlin City. With this order, you can leave safely."

Putting aside the value of this item in concealing his identity, the mere fact that it grants Gu Qing the protection he has in his activities within the demon race signifies an extra layer of security.

"Thank you for your command, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Once this matter is settled, I will surely pay you a visit."

Qianzhu Jun had her own ulterior motives in leaving this golden token to Gu Qing. As long as he used it, she would be able to find out the location of Mo Xuan and send someone to investigate so she could learn about his recent activities.

Even nurturing such a genius requires safeguards.

As for the possibility that the other party might use the Golden-backed Eagle, there is no need to worry at all; she can simply give a private instruction.

That's enough to intimidate other demon races.

Goodbye, and I hope to hear good news from you.

"I would go through fire and water without hesitation."

Seeing Qianzhu Jun walk away, Gu Qing weighed the extra storage bag in his hand. Inside was the extra income he had earned during this period, which accounted for about 15% of the total.

It's considered a share of the profits from being a thug.

A smile appeared on his lips. Qianzhu Jun's injuries would heal within a few months, and it would take him about the same amount of time to digest the Earth Milk Lake.

With a little manipulation, it might be possible to leave the secret realm simultaneously, one in the light and the other in the shadows.

This requires seizing the opportunity.

The seed of divine consciousness within Qianzhu Jun's body will soon play its first role.

Turning around, they flew at full speed towards the area of ​​the Spirit Sealing Pillar.

Beneath the three levels of the underground palace lies the Earth Milk Lake.

The place was almost the same as when he left a month ago; no one else had set foot there. He immediately plunged into the lake and released the Guhuoniao.

"This place will also benefit your cultivation; swallow as much as you can."

"what."

Having entered the secret realm for less than two months, Guhuoniao was unaware of all the events that had transpired during that time, and mistakenly believed that this was a new opportunity discovered by Gu Qingxin.

"You're so lucky."

"Yeah, that's lucky."

The human and the demon began refining at full speed, and the liquid magic power within Gu Qing's body began to increase rapidly, like a light drizzle.

A small pond quickly formed.
