Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 203 Heaven's Way Loves Growing Vegetables and Borrowing Treasures
After the battle, Gu Qing did not receive any spoils; his role was essentially limited to positioning and intelligence support.

Although it was crucial, since the harvest of the Broken Gold Divine Sand had already been obtained, no further profits were distributed.

The Water Classic Commentary that Bao Chong took was his real target.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they headed back to the mountain first.

He did not intend to show himself, and left the follow-up matters and the contact with the guardian master of Jinsha Prefecture to Elder Jiang and the others.

in this way.

Several days after they parted, Gu Qing returned to the mountain safely without alerting anyone.

…………

The scorching sun seemed to concentrate its light and heat on Huosang Mountain, and the red mulberry trees all over the mountain looked like Niannu drunk, bright red, with a delicate and poetic charm.

The four surrounding mountain peaks stand alone, yet are interconnected, and the five elements are rotating ever more vigorously, giving one a sense that they are about to emerge.

"Is the spiritual vein about to advance...?"

Gu Qing seemed to be deep in thought. He reached out and picked a bunch of mulberries from the fire mulberry tree. It was strange, really. He had lived in the Crimson Fire Abode for so many years, and he had never eaten any of the fruit that grew in front of his house.

"Huh, sweet and spicy flavor?"

After consuming the spiritual fruit, it felt like drinking a sip of hot pot broth—the taste was so-so, but the effect was alright; it warmed the body.
This Five Elements Spiritual Mountain Refining Hall has been nurturing for over a thousand years, and its next step is to become a sixth-grade spiritual vein, meeting the standards of a blessed land.

Perhaps we could ask for ownership of Mount Huosang?

Gu Qing was, after all, an elder with real power, and was entitled to have his own cave dwelling and dojo.

Besides the three peaks and twelve halls each occupying a blessed land, only the main peak where the Ancestral Hall is located is a fifth-grade grotto-heaven. It is said to contain a space that draws spiritual energy from the void and has a dependent relationship with the Cangwu Realm, existing eternally.

This is different from a secret realm. A secret realm is created by a great master, and its source is tied to that master. When the creator dies, the power of heaven and earth in the secret realm will be slowly devoured by the Cangwu Realm over time.

This process often takes tens of thousands of years. It's not that the Cangwu Realm eats slowly, but rather that there are too many people to consume them all.

Using "eating" to describe it is not quite accurate; it should be "collecting debts."

After all, even those with great supernatural powers used the power of heaven and earth in the Cangwu Realm to fill the space they created, thus completing their initial accumulation.

Three times he went out and nineteen times he returned!
Is it like growing vegetables? Or is it like incurring debt? The meaning is similar, but the creditor will wait until you die to collect the debt. Therefore, the difficulty of opening up a secret realm in the Cangwu Realm is not as great as imagined. It doesn't even require mastering the laws of space, as the power of heaven and earth will comply with this action.

It can be granted to the cultivator as long as it can be pried open.

Gu Qing felt that cultivators were like old farmers. If they planted well, they could live a long life and have endless opportunities. If they planted poorly, demons would grow from the land and swallow them whole.

If it's based on instinct, that's fine, but if it's...

Shaking his head, Gu Qing didn't dwell on it; it was pointless.

Besides the various main hall factions, Baiyue Mountain also has thousands of immortal mountains, the lowest of which are seventh-grade spiritual lands. These were brought back from outside by the Array Hall and gradually formed a magnificent immortal landscape.

This is also one of the foundations of the immortal sect. I heard that a few days ago, a mountain-moving Taoist priest captured the spiritual veins and moved them to the immortal mountain. The sect is still under development.

Sixth-grade blessed lands are not uncommon; you can apply for one and give it a try.

Acting Palace Master Lian Chuqing shouldn't offend him.

Return to the quiet room.

Gu Qing still needed to comprehend the [Undying Demon Soul Body], a powerful earthly divine ability. In principle, he could only attempt to break through to a higher realm after perfecting it.

This kind of restorative, immortal soul-restoring divine power is very suitable for overcoming tribulations.

The second of the three calamities is the Fire Calamity.

The fiery calamity arises from the body's many orifices, burning the internal organs and the seven emotions and six desires as fuel. The stronger the vital energy, the more severe the fire calamity, which specifically burns the physical body. The stronger the desires, the greater the damage the fire calamity inflicts on the soul.

It has a strange, self-destructive feel to it.

With the Demon Soul Undying Body Cultivation reaching perfection, Gu Qing no longer needs to worry about failing to overcome the Nascent Soul stage; he only needs to resolve the tribulation of his physical essence.

Fortunately, he had a shortcut to dealing with his physical problems.

Instead, his soul became an obstacle to his progress. "There are two ways to overcome this tribulation: one is to use a magical artifact to protect the soul and reduce the difficulty of the fire tribulation, and the other is to use a precious pill to restore the soul's injuries."

Therefore, Gu Qing quietly comprehended the Undying Demon Soul Body for seven days.

He discovered that this innate supernatural power, which belonged to the nascent stage of the Nascent Soul, was so easy for him to comprehend that it was as if he had pressed the accelerator button. His already remarkable comprehension was further enhanced.

Upon first entering a meditative state and engaging in detailed practice, one reaches a level of mastery.

Various thoughts and insights came rushing in, giving me a thrill of becoming a genius or prodigy. This period of rapid improvement was short-lived, lasting only seven days.

"enough!"

"After all, it's a supernatural technique that specializes in immortal souls. Judging by the time, Elder Jiang and the others should be back by now."

With this in mind, Gu Qing made a special trip out to pay a visit.

As expected, all three received high praise, but the specific rewards have not yet been determined and need to be discussed by the lower-ranking patriarchs.

The story of the evil dragon in the Jinsha River being eliminated spread like wildfire throughout Baiyue Mountain. Many disciples were unaware of this, but the older disciples remembered it vividly.

The majority of the reaction was joy, but a small minority felt anger, such as certain despicable individuals with the surname Bai.
After exchanging pleasantries, I said goodbye and left.

He turned and went to the main peak to pay his respects to Lian Chutiangong, who is now the patriarch of the Heavenly Craftsmen. Among Gu Qing's connections, he is the one most likely to produce a magic weapon to protect the soul!
The Refining Hall Master, at the seventh-rank extreme level, can refine low-grade magic weapons. Gu Qing could actually try it himself, but he didn't have enough soul-type materials, which the Ghost Clan produced the most of.

Although he had some materials, the quantity was not enough. Besides, he also had to guard against failure, and one set of materials was far from sufficient. It would be better for him to borrow one and return it after he finished using it.

Main Peak, Ascension Hall.

"The Founder of Heavenly Craftsmen".

"Gu Qing?"

Lian Chutian's eyes lit up, and he teased.

"This is the first time you've come to see me since I returned to the mountains. Have you run into trouble?"

"That's it."

Gu Qing nodded and stated her request directly.

"I would like to borrow a soul-protecting magic item. I will return it within a few days to three months."

Lian Chutian stroked his beard thoughtfully. He knew about Gu Qing's breakthrough to the seventh rank. Magical treasures that protect the soul are among the rarest and most precious categories in the field of weapon crafting.

Because it can not only guard against attacks from the soul, but also assist in transcending tribulations, its practicality and functionality are top-notch.

"Are you about to begin refining evil spirits?"

Gu Qing was taken aback and mumbled something.

"That's it."

"I can lend it to you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"it is good."

"Aren't you going to listen?"

"I believe that Palace Master Lian Chu would not harm me."

"You boy."

Smiling, he tapped him and then explained as Chu Tiangong conjured something in his palm.

"This treasure is called the [Purifying Soul Lotus], a mid-grade magic weapon. Be careful not to let it be damaged by the wind disaster."

"Good good."

Gu Qing accepted the precious lotus. It was white as cream, a jade lotus flower, and was carved with a large number of purification mantras. It was very beautiful.

"As for the conditions..."
