Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 189 Deducing Demonic Arts and Advancing the Demon Puppet
The advancement of the evil alchemy method indicates that this method originated from the Jinyun clan. In that primitive and bloody era, it was perfectly normal for such a method to be created.

However, previous methods of prolonging life were almost always based on old methods to create more powerful new methods, but this time it is based on the ancestral methods that have existed since ancient times.

This indicates that this is a supplement, not a complete overhaul.

"So, if one obtains some powerful incomplete techniques, one can also replenish them by burning one's lifespan?"

With this thought in mind, Gu Qing immediately looked at the Devouring Divine Power.

This gluttonous technique is only half complete.

The aspect that belongs to "swallowing" has disappeared in the river of time. Now it is replaced by the Bashe swallowing elephant supernatural power. It is estimated that the lifespan is not long enough, because the "+" sign has never appeared in this supernatural power since.

"Although we had suspected it for a while, we still had to conduct experiments to confirm it."

"No rush, the present world will be perfected sooner or later."

Continuing to study the art of weapon crafting, although the Jinyun Ancestral Weapon Crafting Method is a fragment, it reveals the process of creating this art very well, and the help it brings to Gu Qing should not be underestimated.

In the past, we learned from the wisdom of our predecessors and followed their instructions.

Now that he has mastered a new method, he may be able to try to explore different branches of weapon crafting. This will require time to accumulate experience until the day he undergoes a complete transformation.

In addition, the methods for refining numerous magical treasures and the methods for inscribing a large number of Dao patterns greatly enriched Gu Qing's knowledge. Looking at his previous works from a high vantage point, he had many ideas for improvement.

"We need to learn! We still need to learn!"

Gu Qing decided to use the Demon Puppet Fan as a test subject. This thing had been broken time and time again, making it perfect for experiments.

The next six months or so.

While learning about weapon crafting, he practiced on the Demon Puppet Fan, making rapid progress. He also continued refining evil spirits, occasionally taking a break to craft magical artifacts and accumulate weapon crafting points.

Thus, seven months later.

The Ten Thousand Poison Serpent Flame was officially incorporated into the weapon-refining process. The flame was as flexible in his hands as his own limbs. The infinite growth potential of the strange fire of heaven and earth was a kind of favor from the laws of the Great Dao.

If done correctly, this method can alter the very nature of an object.

This gives it the function of carrying the way.

In other words, it is the prototype of a magic weapon. Because the nature of the Ten Thousand Serpents Poison Flame is biased towards the elements and concepts of fire, poison, and serpent, the magic weapon embryo refined with it can only carry the Dao patterns of the same concept.

This is a shortcut.

However, the Burning Gold Fire cannot do that. Although its original form is a strange fire that has evolved to the level of immortal fire, it ultimately has no growth potential, and its upper limit is already fixed.

The great laws that favor Heaven and Earth naturally depart from it.

It incorporates new materials, new restrictions, and even the rudiments of Dao patterns.

"Poisonous Bone Dao Pattern..."

The eerie green bone fan, each leaf adorned with a roaring white demon god image, each wielding a weapon, whether sword or spear... it has everything.

There are twelve leaves in total.

"A quasi-magic weapon, the Demon Puppet Bone Demon Fan."

"Eleven demon puppets have reached the upper seventh rank of the body refining side, while the only bone demon is at the highest seventh rank."

"Besides physical strength, the Myriad Poisons, which share the same origin as the Poison Flame, are also a powerful technique, perfectly suited for dealing with the simple-minded and physically strong demon race."

After being forged, this bone fan became the strongest weapon in Gu Qing's possession.

And this was only because his skills were not yet proficient.

His cultivation level is also holding him back a bit; otherwise, a low-grade magic weapon might have been created from his hands.

"Once you break through to the seventh rank, the nascent nascent soul will be born, your divine sense will advance, and the difficulty of inscribing Dao patterns will be greatly reduced. That will be the time to break through to the sixth rank of weapon refiner."

He retracted the Bone Demon Fan into his body's dantian, where it received nourishment from magical power.

In the near future, he will smelt more ancient demon artifacts to obtain rare materials and upgrade the magical artifacts he possesses, which is conservatively estimated to take about ten years.

Then there's the Mind-Stabilizing Pill needed for refining evil spirits. This pill's effect is to repair the soul; it can be used not only to overcome soul tribulations but also to achieve remarkable results during the process of refining evil spirits.

His original plan was to go into seclusion in the Earthly Fiend Abyss after returning to the sect, which is why he accumulated merits with very little expense.

Now that there is an industry in the Demon Realm, the Demon Soul Fiend is also sufficient to form a complementary system.

Then these merits can be used to exchange for elixirs.

This will accelerate the cultivation of refining evil spirits and nourishing the soul.

Keeping track of the time.

As soon as the supplies at [Yulong Pass] were replenished in the new year, Gu Qing rushed in and exchanged all the Tranquilizing Pills, which amounted to 20, without saying a word.

What he paid for was the complete depletion of his ten years of accumulated merit.

With the Gluttonous Refining Method, these 20 pills will only last for a year or two. The Mind-Stabilizing Pill can only be replenished once every ten years. If you want more, you'll have to wait, or you can prepare the materials yourself and find an alchemist to refine them.

My time is completely filled, and I don't have a single spare moment.

Over the next three years, Gu Qing continuously upgraded the spiritual artifacts he possessed.

The Crimson Cloud Tower was upgraded to a high-grade spiritual artifact, reaching the limit of its material properties.

The Golden Stone Bottle has automatically upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual artifact and has the potential for a second upgrade.

The Qingyun Tower was directly reforged, incorporating more void magic restrictions and materials of the same attribute, becoming a quasi-magic weapon. In addition to its effect as a portable cave dwelling, it is also quite good for defense.

The upgrading and replacement of equipment is still ongoing, and Gu Qing has only completed these tasks in three years.

However, the Qi Dao points accumulated again to 3600 points.

Three hundred years of lifespan, reaching a certain standard.

The Yin Corpse Demon Market, the Secluded Meditation Chamber.

Gu Qing took out the many ancient demon techniques he had collected in the Ten Thousand Serpent Nest Secret Realm. These were all collected by the Nether Poison Serpent Lord, and their quality was not low.

There are even ancient techniques of demon kings at the sixth rank.

He had seen it more than once over the years and tried to improve it using his own magical knowledge, but the effect was minimal.

Select a few secret techniques or thunder-based demonic arts.

Three hundred years of lifespan began to burn, and a new Daoist method, which can be cultivated by both humans and demons, and whose magical power and demonic essence can be controlled, is taking shape.

Russian qing.

Having exhausted all his Dao Points and replenished his lifespan, Gu Qing felt the new knowledge in his mind, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique, a seventh-grade ultimate treasure technique."

Thunder Path was the second path he chose, and the Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique was the result of his accumulated efforts.

When activated by demonic energy, it becomes demonic thunder; when activated by magical power, it becomes heavenly thunder.

With no more flaws in his identity, Mo Xuan now had another commonly used method.

"Heaven and earth possess extraordinary fires, and also extraordinary thunders."

Thunder is the might of heaven. Extraordinary thunder is often known to cultivators in the form of tribulation. How to control unusual thunder depends on individual destiny.

Demonic lightning, also known as blood lightning, is entirely blood-red with a hint of black. From its birth, it seems to contain endless killing intent, with destruction and death intertwined within it.

Heavenly thunder, also known as white thunder, is white with a bluish tinge. It carries the majestic power of heaven and contains life within destruction.

Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique, two sides of the same coin.

Whether it's Gu Qing or Mo Xuan, both identities can be used. However, this is still constrained by the Artifact Dao Points. Gu Qing doesn't want to be in a state of loss for a long time, so he can only accumulate Artifact Dao Points first.

"There are many more ancient sorcery techniques; let's continue next time."
