Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 198 A Bunch of Old Foxes - Shattered Gold Divine Sand
It can be considered a result of mutual compromise.

Caught in the middle, he naturally became a victim. Even Chu Tiangong, in order to compensate him, originally intended to transfer him to the frontier battlefield to inherit the position of Minister of Weapon Forging at Yulong Pass.

This was a considerable right, but Jiang Yuan refused it.

He still wanted to try his luck at the sixth rank, even if the chances were slim.

The Golden Sands Evil Dragon is a great stepping stone.

This demon has plagued Baiyue Mountain for centuries. Whoever can defeat it will be a great achievement. If they can obtain treasures or elixirs that are beneficial for their breakthrough, their chances of success will be even greater.

The fame that resolving this matter would bring was not on his mind.

Immediately, the figure disappeared into the Jingxinzhai.

I started looking for old friends to discuss things with.

Gu Qing then arranged for the Guhuoniao to go to Jinsha Prefecture in advance to contact Bao Chong so that they could take action as soon as they arrived.

at the same time.

Li Daoyang, the deputy head of the law enforcement hall, has been staying at the Huichun Hall's headquarters on Chunliu Mountain for several days.

Master Fu Liu's intention was for him to use the pretext of harming fellow disciples to imprison Gu Qing for several years in order to maintain his reputation.

The issue is.

"The abbot of Huilong Temple is not a disciple of Baiyue Mountain."

Li Daoyang had a headache. To be honest, he didn't like the people from the master-disciple lineage. They were all extremely protective of their own and couldn't be reasoned with. In previous years, almost all the people from the master-disciple lineage who enforced the law were troublemakers and difficult to deal with.

"Why not? He also learned his skills in Baiyue Mountain back then."

“Master Fu Liu, Huilong Temple is a lower-level force under the Yan Kingdom. Each year, only one or two disciples are sent to Baiyue Mountain. The temple master has poor potential and was expelled from the sect due to his age before reaching the eighth rank of true cultivation.”

"Wouldn't admitting he's a disciple of Baiyue at this point be asking for trouble? How would the founder who established this rule feel about that?"

Master Fu Liu was somewhat surprised, as he had never learned about the past of the Abbot of Huilong Temple.

"He failed to break through to the eighth rank back then?"

"Correct."

"Disciples over fifty years old who cannot break through to the eighth rank of true cultivation are all persuaded to leave the mountain gate."

“If we acknowledge his identity, all the cultivators who have been expelled over the years will probably want to come back. We can’t open that door, at least not here.”

"That was the old man's fault..."

Seeing that he had finally persuaded him, Li Daoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gu Qing's matter is clearly a personal grudge, and I've heard quite a bit about it. You'd better not get involved."

"I got involved? He forced me to take action!"

Li Daoyang rolled his eyes and gave a serious and earnest warning.

"Old Liu, putting aside your status, offending Gu Qing is not a good choice. Don't force yourself to vent your anger."

"What's the difference between this old grudge and the hatred of killing one's father or obstructing one's path? If it weren't for good fortune, they would have been buried in the underworld long ago. Ask yourself, can you let this go?"

"Put yourself in others' shoes and look at this matter again."

Li Daoyang took a sip of tea; his mouth was dry from talking. If he still couldn't persuade her, there was nothing he could do but let things take their course.

Master Fu Liu twisted his white eyebrows and widened his eyes.

"If we don't teach them a lesson, how can Huichuntang maintain its standing at the mountain gate?"

"No... why can't you explain yourself?"

"Who cares about your trivial matters? The entire Baiyue Mountain and even the entire Nanyue Kingdom are focused on the ascension ceremony of the Celestial Craftsman. All forces will come to offer their congratulations. Don't think too highly of yourself."

"Not many people know about this to begin with, are you going to spread the news everywhere?"

Master Fu Liu: "…………No."

long silence.

"No, I need to teach him a lesson and make him understand that he should respect his seniors."

"you!"

Bang————

Li Daoyang smashed the teacup and stormed off. "Old man, I think you've lost your mind. I'm not doing this anymore!"

Seeing that Li Daoyang really didn't want to get involved.

Master Fu Liu's gaze deepened slightly, and he called in the two boys who were fanning the fire.

The two toddlers were transformed.

They both transformed into two adult men.

“Situ, Lao Bai, you’ve both heard the situation. Gu Qing has connections, so the rules can’t touch him.”

“If we can’t change the rules, then we’ll take matters into our own hands. Didn’t he say he was going back to Yan to cause trouble for Abbot Long? Let’s take this opportunity to settle things once and for all.”

"That's what I mean too."

"The authority of the Guardian Elder was originally intended for Ah Feng. Old Bai has already obtained the authority of the Guardian of the Pill Hall. If this deal is done, there will be a steady stream of profits, enough for the three of us to make a fortune."

The three men's conspiracy clearly stemmed from their desire for the treasure trove of Baiyue Mountain.

The planning started very early.

Gu Qing's sudden usurpation of Elder Shoubao's authority has seriously affected their interests, which is the real reason why Master Fuliu is relentlessly pursuing him.

Whether Master Wanyi was aware of this matter is unknown.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Go and prepare; it's not convenient for me to intervene."

"it is good."

…………

On the other hand, Li Daoyang felt increasingly uneasy.

Looking at Master Fu Liu's past behavior, although he was unreasonable and used to being domineering, the connections that Hui Chun Tang had accumulated and the kindness he had shown to many masters were genuine.

They have the resources.

There's no reason for them to keep harping on Gu Qing. Just like he said when he tried to persuade them, only a few people knew about Gu Qing's disgrace to Huichuntang.

Even he only learned the whole story from Fu Liu in the last few days.

Using fame as an excuse is really a stretch.

Having served in law enforcement for many years and risen to the position of deputy hall master, Li Daoyang is actually very intelligent and perceptive.

Looking back at past cases, aside from the impulsiveness and love of teenagers, it all boils down to one word: profit.

"Gu Qing is the newly appointed Guardian Elder of the Weapon Refining Hall."

"Leaving aside opportunities and inheritance, the only thing he represents that makes him easy to be coveted by others."

"If he dies, or is imprisoned, then the beneficiary is... Situ Feng?"

Stroking his chin, Li Daoyang recalled the character of the twenty-ninth patriarch, the teacher of the True Man Fu Liu. He was a stubborn and protective person, a trait that was difficult to deal with.

"It's a little tricky."

After a moment's hesitation, Li Daoyang sent a secret letter to Gu Qing and recorded the matter in the dossier, making three copies: one for storage, and one for himself and the Palace Master.

Then it doesn't matter.

Even if something goes wrong, both sides can explain themselves. Whether it's Fu Liu or Gu Qing, they both have patriarch-level figures above them. Although Li Daoyang comes from the Li family, he is from a collateral branch.

It wasn't easy to climb to where I am today; I have my own way of dealing with people.

This matter is not even worth his full support for any one party.

Sending a letter to Gu Qing was partly due to his potential, and partly because of the Thirty-Eighth Ancestor, Lian Chutiangong, who would have the right and responsibility to govern the sect for hundreds or even thousands of years to come.

Jinsha Mansion.

On the banks of the Jinsha River, Gu Qing, Elder Jiang, True Man Lianfeng, and Taikangxuan, a total of four people, were exploring the Broken Gold Divine Sand at the bottom of the river.

"Gu Qing, what's wrong?"

The letter in his hand turned into flames and floated away, Gu Qing said with a smile.

"It's nothing. Have you all figured out how to get through this divine sand obstacle?"
