Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 205 The Water Classic Commentary: The Robbers

"Gu Qing has come out of seclusion."

"Is he returning to the Yan state now?"

"It shouldn't be. He wouldn't know the locations of the fifty mortal kingdoms. To return to the Yan Kingdom, one should go to the back mountain area and use the stone platform teleportation array."

After hesitating for a moment, Situ Hua spoke again.

“I don’t think it’s reasonable to ambush him in the Yan Kingdom. If we use the teleportation array, then the person guarding the array will be the weakness.”

"It would be better to find an opportunity to kill him in the Southern Yue Cultivation Kingdom."

"rational."

Bai Ji nodded, agreeing with Situ Hua's assessment.

"Have things been arranged at the Pill Hall?"

"That's about it. Fu Liu, Dan He, Zi Ding, Xu Tu... a total of sixteen True Persons from the Seven Capitals participated in the plan. They represent various factions, including master-disciple, family, and sect factions, ensuring a comprehensive coverage."

"With this insurance, even if something happens, they can't do anything to us."

"That's good."

Bai Ji was relieved, but his killing intent grew even stronger. He had also set his sights on the position of the Guardian Elder of the Weapon Refining Hall, but his connections were not as strong as Gu Qing's, so no matter how much Gu Qing tried to bribe him, he couldn't do anything about it.

The reason for targeting him is not only related to his own interests, but also to an old case from many years ago.

Back then, his fifth son, Bai Feng, had a conflict with Gu Qing over a willow tree. Gu Qing seized on him and wouldn't let go, committing the serious crime of insubordination. He should have had his cultivation abolished and been expelled from Baiyue Mountain.

She was Bai Feng's mother-in-law and the mother of Bai Ji's fifth concubine. She used a lot of resources to get Gu Qing to agree to a reconciliation. Even so, she was expelled from Baiyue Mountain, only spared the punishment of having her cultivation abolished.

Of Bai Ji's five sons, Bai Feng was the most talented.

The other four sons stayed in Cangshan, but he brought his fifth son to Baiyue Mountain to cultivate. Who knew that so many troubles would arise?

He originally didn't want to pursue the matter any further, since the matter was over and he only needed to preserve his cultivation level, as he would still have a chance to break through to the seventh-grade True Person realm in the future.

Now that they've clashed again, he can't help but regret not standing up for his son back then.

"A peasant is just a peasant. Even if he is called a direct descendant, he is actually just a rogue cultivator from an ordinary family. It's just that his name sounds nice."

"If it weren't for his shrewdness, the position of Elder of the Refining Hall's Treasury would definitely belong to Brother Bai."

Situ Hua gave him a small compliment.

In reality, it was very clear that Bai Ji's chances of becoming an elder in the treasure vault were extremely low, and even without Gu Qing, Situ Feng would have taken power.

However, this is not important.

They wanted the passage between the Bai family of Cangshan and the Demon Realm. Resources from the Demon Realm, regardless of quality, were scarce among humans, and could be sold for several times their original price.

Otherwise, would Bai Ji be worthy of cooperating with the Situ family?
He felt disdain in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

"Let's not delay, let's go and catch them off guard."

"it is good."

Jinsha Mansion.

On the banks of the Jinsha River.

I came here once a while ago, and Gu Qing came again.

Not long after they arrived, they saw a lanternfish monster lurking in the water, its head poking out furtively. This kind of monster comes from the ocean and is blind by nature, relying on the glowing lantern on its head to see things.

Sensing the demonic aura emanating from Gu Qing, they immediately came over.

"Lord Mo Xuan, this is what Butler Leopard gave you. He said he is working closely with Bai Jiao's business and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be able to monopolize all of Bai's goods within three to five years, establishing a relationship of trust."

"Very good, let's go." "Yes, sir!"

The fish demon swam back to the bottom of the river, and Gu Qing tossed the Water Classic in his hand with great interest.

He had put Bai Jiao on hold for a long time. Once the Golden Sand Flood Dragon King was eliminated, it would naturally be her turn. The Bai family's smuggling business mainly involved elixirs, magical artifacts, minerals, and spiritual herbs.

While magical power and demonic energy differ to some extent, they share many commonalities. Except for the fact that magic arts, ancient artifacts, and talismans are not interchangeable, elixirs are indeed effective for both.

With the Chenxing Crocodile Clan as their backer, the smuggling business in the Demon Phoenix Tomb Realm has been almost entirely taken over by Leopard Chong.

Unlike the Golden-Backed Eagle, which was severely weakened, Chenxing Crocodile was genuinely willing to take advantage of any benefits. The Crocodile Demon Lin Yuan had repeatedly praised Leopard Chong's abilities, subtly hinting at a possible attempt to recruit him.

Little did they know, their lives had long been in Gu Qing's hands.

The Bai family's smuggling routes were mainly established in the area of ​​the Demon Phoenix Tomb Realm. According to the original plan, Gu Qing did not intend to go too far, but to manipulate the situation and spit out some resources.

By holding onto this leverage, we can provide Gu Qing with the capital to advance her career in the future.

However, after receiving a letter from Li Daoyang, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, he changed his mind and decided to kill them instead. He felt that plotting against the human race was not very effective, but plotting against the demon realm was very profitable.

After waiting for a while, Gu Qing slowly flew into the sky and said loudly.

"Since you're here, show yourself and let me see what you've got."

Above the clouds, Situ Hua and Bai Ji, who were concealing their presence with secret techniques, were both somewhat bewildered. They exchanged a glance and then revealed themselves.

"Gu Qing, you're too arrogant."

"What kind of skill is it to obtain an elder's position through nepotism? In the world of cultivation, cultivation level is the most important thing."

"Yes, you're absolutely right."

"Hmm? Still being stubborn."

Bai Ji immediately grinned maliciously. Fifty years ago, Gu Qing had only just entered the eighth-grade true cultivation realm and had spent thirty years on the frontier battlefield. Could he possibly break through to the seventh grade?
Both he and Situ Hua were top-tier True Persons of the Upper Seventh Rank, having cultivated a spiritual body. When they joined forces, even a Seventh Rank Extreme could exchange a few blows.

Taking down a mere toddler was a piece of cake.

"go to hell!"

The Bai family's most famous technique is the so-called "Extreme Cold Divine Sword," a minor supernatural power.

Strictly speaking, the Earthly Fiend Divine Power belongs to the category of minor divine powers. Only when one reaches the middle level of the sixth rank and refines the Heavenly Gang Qi can the Heavenly Gang Divine Power be born, which is a truly qualified divine power.

The Earthly Fiend Divine Power has a heaven-given speed of cultivation, but the Extreme Cold Divine Sword does not. Therefore, Bai Ji's skill can only reach the level of rudimentary mastery at most.

The ice sword was small, only three feet and six inches long.

Its chilling aura was enough to freeze a hundred miles away, and the rising waves of the Jinsha River were frozen. The extremely cold sword light expanded a hundred feet and slashed down at Gu Qing.

Zila~

A flash of lightning illuminated the scene as Gu Qing dodged the ice sword's strike as if he had teleported. The towering mountain behind him was cleaved in two, the crashing sounds echoing incessantly.

Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique - Nine Absolute Techniques of Thunder.

This Thunder Dao Secret Manual contains four extraordinary thunder techniques belonging to the category of magical thunder arts, including the extremely fast thunder—White Thunder Swift!

With a hand seal, Gu Qing appeared behind Bai Ji, pressing forward with one hand, the second of the Nine Absolute Techniques.

Thunderclap!
Golden lightning transformed into a raging dragon, suddenly striking Bai Ji. Despite his protective magical artifact and the shield of his magic power, he was still struck by the lightning and trembled violently.

Gu Qing's strength clearly exceeded their expectations.

Situ Hua finally made his move, going all out from the start. This was one of the Earthly Fiend Divine Powers derived from the Filthy Thunder Qi, namely the [Turbid Thunder Hand], which belongs to the Five Elements Yin Thunder.

It is specifically effective against the Five Elements Yang Thunder Technique and also has the effect of corrupting other people's magical artifacts.

For most seventh-rank cultivators, the Earthly Fiend Divine Power is their strongest trump card, with very few exceptions.

The Turbid Thunder Hand belongs to the Earth element and is Yin Thunder. Its lightning is like a swamp, the electric light is yellowish and very turbid, and its corrosive power is extremely strong.
