Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 176 Fire Spirit Mystic Body, A Close Call

Three days later, her body reached its limit again, but Guhuoniao failed to complete the first refining process, and the water level of the Earth Milk Lake dropped by another third.

In contrast, the liquid mana in Gu Qing's body filled about one-fifth of the empty space in his middle dantian.

After absorbing and refining it all, it should be about 80-90% complete.

It's not easy to cultivate ten times the mana of the same level.

The demand for resources far exceeds expectations.

However, his strength was also much greater. If he went all out, Gu Qing felt that he could only go toe-to-toe with a seventh-rank high-level cultivator. The chances of winning were slim. If he only used his physical strength, he would only suffer a crushing defeat.

"Not urgent."

Another month of quiet retreat.

Gu Qing realized that the transformation of his physique had reached its final stage. Under the nurturing of the Fire Marrow String, the Fire Spirit Profound Body had finally advanced!

In an instant, the high temperature spread.

The sea of ​​fire emanated from within, completely filling the underground space.

His hair and eyes turned crimson.

The numerous Zhu Rong patterns on the body surface began to simplify, and the crimson talismans turned into a pale gold color.

The affinity between Yu Huodao and others has undergone a dramatic change.

Then, by unleashing the Flame Lord's Secret Technique, each flame can rival the previous full power. This temporary burst state is what Gu Qing calls the [Zhu Rong Form], which can be achieved by stimulating the mysteries of one's physique.

The duration depends on the strength of one's physique and the abundance of one's mana, making it a small trump card.

“Spirit, Mystery, Treasure, Dao”.

"The path of physical evolution has reached the second step. The effect of the Fire Marrow String has worn off. If it can still play a role in evolving physical constitution, it must be upgraded into a magic weapon."

This cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Therefore, while waiting for his body to digest the bloating and pain caused by the earth milk, Gu Qing relaxed his cultivation.

Using the power of burning gold and fire, he practiced his magical artifacts, accumulating artifact cultivation points, while also beginning to comprehend the secret techniques of thunder.

The rules within the secret realm are flawed, making it difficult to attract heavenly lightning.

However, the lightning-attracting stone can still gather lightning spiritual power, turning it into streaks of pale blue lightning that strike Gu Qing's physical body.

Through the baptism of the Thunder Spirit Fruit.

He has developed a talent for the lightning element, similar to his affinity for the fire element when he first started cultivating. He uses lightning stones to refine his body and allows his physical body to begin to adapt to the spiritual power of lightning.

Splitting for a long time can actually slightly improve one's aptitude.

Whether it's lightning or fire, both are violent and powerful ways of destruction, dominating the combat power of those of the same level.

Gu Qing's best way to control lightning is actually to deduce the cultivation method and combine lightning and fire into one, but his accumulation of lightning cultivation is currently weak.

It is not enough to change the sixth-grade ultimate cultivation technique—the Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture.

It would conservatively take several decades for a cultivator to develop true combat power through the cultivation of the Thunder Dao.

"Not urgent."

"I'm still young, and I have plenty of time to squander."

Ever since.

After his physique evolved, and after waiting another month, once the swelling and pain in his body disappeared, Gu Qing once again devoured the Earth Milk on a large scale.

As his cultivation level soared, he felt as if he had entered a paradise on earth, feeling refreshed and invigorated all over.

As Gu Qing had predicted, it took a full three months to drain the Earth Milk Lake.

His cultivation is naturally nearing completion.

It is expected that refining the Earth Milk stored in storage items such as the Taotie Head, Qingyun Tower, and Kongming Ring will bring the process to completion.

At that time, one can begin to break through to the middle level of the seventh rank, refining evil spirits and nourishing the soul.

The speed is ridiculously fast.

Initially, he came to the frontier battlefield with the intention of achieving a great victory if he could break through to the seventh rank within fifty years. However, he never expected that too many opportunities would force him to make progress.

The Guhuoniao standing to the side pouted. She had only refined this great opportunity twice before Gu Qing had devoured it all. Judging from his expression, he was probably boasting to himself.

"Hmph, I'm going back to cultivate."

Having said that, she plunged into Qingyun Tower, where a large amount of earth milk was stored, and it was now hers.

Without further ado, Gu Qing sensed the wisp of divine consciousness outside and quickly discovered Qianzhu Jun's whereabouts.

During this time, I would occasionally peek at her to get a precise idea of ​​when she would recover from her injuries. If I wasn't mistaken, she would leave the secret realm in the next few days.

"time to go."

After checking that nothing was missed, Gu Qing searched the Earth Milk Lake again to confirm that no treasures were missed before leaving the area around the Sealed Spirit Pillar.

Holding the golden token, he sat in meditation, waiting for Qianzhu Jun to touch the barrier of the secret realm.

One day, two days.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a golden light could be seen with the naked eye from afar, piercing into the sky above the secret realm, and a huge vortex-shaped spatial portal opened wide.

As soon as the golden light entered, a towering serpent tail swept towards them.

"Wow!!!"

The trembling voice of the golden eagle echoed throughout the secret realm.

Gu Qing's eyes narrowed. This old snake demon was indeed squatting at the door, trying to catch people. Without further ado, he immediately activated the golden token in his hand.

A Tai Chi diagram unfolds beneath your feet and begins to spin rapidly.

A flash of light.

Gu Qing's figure disappeared from this world. At the same time, She Tianchou, the Lord of Tianlin City and a sixth-rank mid-level demon king, snorted coldly.

The beam of light that left in the void was moving too fast. He was holding Qianzhu Jun and it disappeared without him noticing. His anger intensified.

Its body, over a hundred feet tall, meandered through the void.

The snake's eyes were much larger than those of an ordinary elephant, exuding an astonishing aura of power.

"Lord Qianzhu, did you kill my adopted son?"

Golden Eagle trembled, unable to speak.

She Tianchou then used his demonic energy to condense a phantom of Mo Xuan and said in a deep voice.

Have you ever seen this person?

Clearly, he had extracted some information from the souls of Jiang Wang's team, but compared to their long lives, the memories related to Gu Qing were only a tiny fragment.

The art of soul searching is inherently imperfect.

The fact that he was able to obtain an image of the demon's appearance is due to his high level of cultivation. The specific reasons still need further investigation. All that is known is that this demon has close ties with Jiang Wang's team and is very likely a spy developed by the human race.

Demonic villain!

Qianzhu Jun was unaware of the situation. He believed that his encounter with She Tianchou proved that Mang Qian was dead and that Mo Xuan's appearance had been discovered by him. He subconsciously attributed this to Mo Xuan's supernatural abilities.

After all, similar methods exist within the clan.

Having succeeded in his plan, Mo Xuan felt relieved and his resentment was released, bringing him immense joy.

The souls of the deceased Golden Eagle Guards have been appeased. Facing the overwhelming power of the Demon King, Qianzhu Jun gritted his teeth and persevered.

"So what if I killed Mang Qian...?"

"He led all the snake demons who entered the secret realm in an attempt to surround and kill this palace. This is an act of insubordination, and he deserves to die."

"Snake King, if you are truly capable, then kill me."

"Father and His Majesty will surely avenge Zhu Jun and raze the Nest of Ten Thousand Snakes to the ground."

She Tianchou's eyes were sinister, and his killing intent was surging.

He hesitated to increase his strength, just as Qianzhu Jun had said. Regardless of what happened in the secret realm, who was right and who was wrong, or the deaths and injuries caused by competition among peers, taking down Qianzhu Jun was already a taboo.

Not to mention killing her.

At that time, the Nest of Ten Thousand Snakes will surely face annihilation.

"Sharp-tongued and eloquent, I'm asking you: where is the Fruit of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

"No!"

"Ah."

She Tianchou was so angry he laughed. The secret realm inheritance plan of the Poisonous Serpent Lord had failed, and the Myriad Poison Fruit had disappeared. Now it seemed that the source was this Golden-Backed Eagle Prince.

Do you really think you can escape death if you piss him off?!
