Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 181 Demon Realm Earthly Fiend Resources
The three magical restrictions are low-grade spiritual artifacts. Fortunately, I have plenty of materials on hand, and a large number of ancient demon treasures can be remelted into raw materials. The gilded ore produced by Taiyi Xuanjin Iron is the most basic material.

It has a wide range of applications, and with a little refinement, it becomes an excellent base.

Now that he is wealthy, Gu Qing is not hesitant to try new things.

Furthermore, with the improvement of cultivation level, the wondrous changes of magical power, which are all-encompassing, are also of great help in the art of weapon crafting.

As for the newly acquired strange fire, [Ten Thousand Serpent Poison Flame], this thing has no record in the history of the Cangwu cultivation world, and is undoubtedly a new type of strange fire.

Its efficacy is primarily manifested in the poison pathway, with the fire pathway being secondary.

It's not suitable for alchemy or weapon crafting, but it's perfect for protective techniques.

Thinking this, Gu Qing suddenly slapped his forehead.

"That judgment is also incorrect. It should be said that it is not suitable for refining orthodox pills and artifacts, but it is fine for slightly unorthodox ones, and may even have the effect of surpassing the original."

"If the Demon Puppet Fan is reforged and infused with some of the power of poisonous flames, the White Bone Demon Puppet might become even more poisonous and powerful."

"It is also remarkably effective in preparing poison pills."

As for the methods to enhance the power of the poisonous flames, there are two. One is to devour various highly poisonous substances. During this process, Gu Qing himself will gradually acquire a body that is immune to all poisons, but this requires time to develop.

Secondly, absorbing pure fire energy can actually be done in the Earth Fire Chamber. You can grow by devouring earth fire. However, the underground fire veins do not recover quickly, so you need to strictly control your "food intake". If they run dry, it will cause some trouble.

After all, it wasn't his property, but rather the sect's property.

"Perhaps we should consider learning a method of binding meridians, and we should also put the accumulation of thunder magic on the agenda."

Previously, it would take Gu Qing about a year to refine a magical artifact.

Even now, the fire used to burn gold is still used to melt the materials, shape them into blanks, carve the initial form of the seal script, and then place them in the earth fire chamber for nurturing.

How long it will take is currently unknown.

Gu Qing then went to the quartermaster's office and exchanged his merits for twelve thunder-based spells: Palm Thunder, Lightning Strike, Swift Thunder, Thundercloud Summoning, Thunder Dragon, Lightning Rainbow Transformation, Thunder Armor Secret Technique, and so on...

These eighth-grade techniques have little effect on improving combat power, but they are fundamental. They can be refined into a second Daoist manual in the future and then play a role.

No rush.

After leaving the secret realm, the Lightning Stone began to take effect. Gu Qing would occasionally leave the Dragon Pass and go to the nearby desolate land to draw lightning from heaven and earth to strike himself.

It can both refine the body and improve one's aptitude for the Thunder Path.

If you persist for several years, you can at least be promoted to Grade B Thunder Path qualification.

in this way.

While waiting for Leopard Head's message, Gu Qing continued his cultivation, and the weapon-refining department's shifts continued.

Eight months later.

The news finally arrived.

Unlike humans who refine evil spirits, demons face greater difficulties in this process. Their souls awaken later, they lack sufficient years of cultivation, and their foundation is weaker. Therefore, they often need to replenish their blood and energy to assist them.

It utilizes the concept of "full of energy and spirit".

A strong physical body nourishes the soul, making it stronger. Earthly evil energy can also refine the body, forming a cycle. This requires a large amount of blood and qi to supply the body's need to become stronger.

Therefore, the resource points where Earthly Fiend Qi is produced are considered top-tier resource points in the Demon Realm, either already owned or shared by multiple forces.

Leopard Head inquired based on Gu Qing's needs.

The Golden-Backed Eagle clan possesses multiple sources of Earthly Fiend Qi. Their core territory, Tianren Peak, contains two types: "Golden Knife Fiend" and "Heart-Eating Fiend." The northern Iron Forest Mountains contain numerous underground caves, producing four types in total: "Earthly Filth Fiend" and "Blood Iron Fiend." While obtaining the Golden Token would make entering Tianren Peak somewhat difficult, going to the Iron Forest Mountains would be relatively easy.

However, during the stage of refining evil spirits and nourishing the soul, it is best to use only one type of evil spirit energy. This way, when the earthly evil spirit supernatural powers are generated in the future, they will reach their peak.

According to the experience of our predecessors, there are also methods for refining the soul using various evil energies.

Just like when Qianzhu Jun used the Golden Blade to refine her soul, the Earthly Fiend Divine Power she knew was a group attack method with armor-piercing and sharp characteristics. At that time, the golden feathers fell like stars, killing hundreds of eighth-grade snake demons in one move.

It can be described as a weapon to kill even the lowest-ranking soldiers, a killer of miscellaneous troops. It's not that the eighth-rank demon cultivators have no ability to resist, but rather that the Earthly Fiend Divine Power is too strong.

Looking at the supernatural abilities Gu Qing possesses.

Its destructive power is absolutely not lacking, its defense is supplemented by magical artifacts, and its burst damage is provided by the Zhu Rong form and the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique. It is only lacking in speed and defense.

"I am more suited to speed- and physical-related earth-evil energies such as Nine Netherworld Evil, Heavenly Wind Evil, Vajra Evil, White Bone Evil, and Yellow Spring Evil."

"Especially when managing the identity of Demon Xuan, without using magic power, one's strength is reduced by more than half."

"In addition, we also need to consider versatility. It's only suitable if it can be used under the identity of Gu Qing."

Continue browsing the news sent by Leopard Head.

The Demon Realm is much larger than Southern Yue, and therefore produces more resources. Even if the Wind Leopard Clan can only explore a limited area, they still have intelligence that Gu Qing can use.

"In the Demon Phoenix Tomb Realm, many Demon Market Lords have seized control of two Earthly Fiend Nodes."

"White Bone Demon and Demon Soul Demon".

According to records, the former can cultivate earthly evil supernatural powers such as the "White Bone Flesh Body", the "Bone Demon Body", and the "Four-Armed Bone Demon God", which have been studied quite thoroughly by predecessors.

The Demon Soul Fiend is relatively rare, and there is not much information about it in the Cangwu cultivation world. However, the ancestors of Baiyue Mountain still thoroughly studied it and found that it can be nurtured by three kinds of Earthly Fiend Divine Powers, which can be considered unique information.

【Undying Demon Soul】, 【Minor Yin-Yang Soul Devouring Technique】, 【Black Heaven Demon Head Technique】.

The Earthly Fiend Divine Power nurtured by the Demon Soul Demon leans towards the soul and can be regarded as a kind of divine sense secret technique. It is quite practical. If Gu Qing wants to make use of his vast divine sense power, the Demon Soul Demon is a good choice.

"It's just you."

Having made up his mind, he went to the Rift Valley again to contact Leopard Head and inquire about how to obtain the qualification to cultivate in the Demon Soul Fiend's birthplace.

After traveling back and forth, he returned to the Fire Chamber of Yulong Pass.

The low-grade spiritual weapon that Gu Qing started refining eight months ago has finally taken shape. It is a sword, which is also the type that Gu Qing is best at, but the effect is just so-so.

It was originally a casual creation made to verify the Dao Points.

"Transformation!"

The newly forged magical artifact gradually turned gray, then vanished into nothingness, leaving not a speck of dust behind.

"500 weapon points?!"

Gu Qing's eyes widened, not because she was shocked by the amount being too large, but because it was too small.

"Five hundred points in eight months? Are you kidding me?"

Compared to the 50 points for magic weapons, the points for spirit weapons are ten times higher. However, he can refine one magic weapon a day, and if he works without rest for a month, he can earn 1500 points.

It would take 24 months to switch to a magical artifact, which is completely unequal.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Gu Qing realized that he couldn't really calculate the gains and losses like that. He couldn't leave the process of refining the magic weapon, which meant he couldn't do anything else in the middle.
