Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 211 Phoenix Blood Pool and the Gluttonous Taoist
The body of the abbot of Huilong Temple had decayed to the extreme, his flesh was grayish-white and withered, and there were even signs of decay and dissolution.

Gu Qing's previous doubts resurfaced. Logically speaking, this person was far from reaching the end of his lifespan, so how could this be?

Although the initial resentment had subsided, they remained highly vigilant.

In front.

The abbot of Huilong Temple moved slowly and laboriously, seeing that Gu Qing had no intention of stepping forward, and did not urge him on.

Instead, the meditation cushion was moved aside, revealing a mechanism underneath.

It takes a force of 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) to press down on it to trigger it.

With a rumbling sound, the ground on the side of the Zhenwu Hall suddenly sank down, revealing a dark tunnel entrance from which a foul wind, carrying a strong ghostly aura, surged forth.

Gu Qing glanced at the abbot of Huilong Temple and noticed a problem.

Since explaining the cause and effect, he has never shown any unease or hesitation about deceiving others, always appearing calm and indifferent, as if to say, "Believe it or not."

First of all, since he was in the Yan state, it would take time for him to use his connections to verify this ancient history. Even if he lied, it wouldn't be exposed in a short time.

another.

All the sources he explained came down to one point: protecting the legacy left by the Jinyun clan. Undoubtedly, the Phoenix Blood Pool was the most important, and also the last one!
Aren't you afraid he might kill someone and steal the treasure if you take him to see this?

This trust seems rather inexplicable.

After recovering from the shock, Gu Qing realized upon reflection that there were many inappropriate points and problems.

In addition, compared to the perspective of the master of Huilongguan.

He also possesses another informational advantage: the Taotie Tomb beneath Qishan Mountain.

"Master, I have a question."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please speak. I will answer whatever I can today. Please."

He walked ahead, leading Gu Qing into the deep tunnel.

"You mentioned earlier that the Taotie's corpse failed to undergo Nirvana. What was the reason for this, and who was responsible for overseeing it?"

The abbot paused, as if recalling something.

He let out a long sigh.

"This matter is to be handled by my father, Jin Yunlan, and his younger brother, Jin Yunchang. My bloodline has been responsible for protecting Taotie Nirvana since ancient times, from father to son, son to grandson, and so on, endlessly."

“But a thousand years ago, Taotie failed in its Nirvana, and my father was held accountable. The elders of the clan decided to execute him, and Jinyun Chang fled and has not been heard from since.”

"It's embarrassing to admit."

So, were the corpse traces in the Taotie tomb made by Jin Yunchang? Gu Qing felt something was wrong.

"still have a question."

"Since the Jinyun clan developed in the Yan state, why is the Yan royal family ruling the Yan state? Where are your clansmen? Can you take me, an outsider, to visit the Phoenix Blood Pool?"

The abbot of Huilong Temple did not give a direct answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"Fellow Daoist Gu's power overwhelms Huilong Temple. He threatens to slaughter all the disciples in the temple at the slightest disagreement. What can I do? I am just an ordinary eighth-grade True Cultivator and cannot withstand the power of a True Cultivator."

"We've arrived. Beyond this stone gate lies the Phoenix Blood Pool. Please, fellow Daoist, the evidence you seek is within. Everything I have said is true, without a trace of falsehood."

"You go ahead."

"Fellow Daoist is indeed cautious; even at a time like this, you don't trust me."

Gu Qing simply responded with a serious look.

Because of the uncertainty, he was vigilant; because he could not verify the truth, he came down to investigate; and because he coveted the Phoenix Blood Pool, he spared the abbot's life.

Gu Qing considered himself fully developed and had the capital to act arrogantly.

His style of doing things is slightly different from before. If before he mainly relied on forbearance and underhanded tactics, only striking when he was sure of a fatal blow, now he has the power to threaten others, to stand on the front lines, and to look down on the cultivators who are still struggling in the sea of ​​suffering and struggling to cross the river, calling them "ants".

There have been big changes.

"Go in."

The abbot of Huilong Temple did not insist. He clapped his hands lightly, and the huge underground palace was quickly illuminated by ever-burning lamps, making the area brightly lit.

The underground palace is shaped like an endless plaza.

In the middle is a neat pit shaped like a pool. Perhaps because it is very deep, it looks empty from a distance, but a thick aura of blood and ghosts floats above it.

Its purity is so high that it is the highest Gu Qing has ever seen.

It is far superior to ordinary mutant zombies like the "Yinqian Armored Corpse," and even the Guhuoniao is much worse.

"Ever since Taotie failed in its Nirvana, this place has been filled with endless ghostly energy. The sixteenth generation patriarch Jinyun said that it is the sorrowful energy produced by the failure of Nirvana, which is even more exaggerated than the normal small underworld."

"After all, Taotie was a fourth-rank great evil in his previous life, equivalent to the Heavenly Demon of the Demon Race and the Immortal Lord of the Human Race. Therefore, this place is somewhat ominous, and wandering ghosts are often attracted here."

“Clean this place and keep it quiet is also one of my duties.”

The abbot of Huilong Temple was the first to cross the stone gate, followed closely by Gu Qing, who secretly gripped the Ghost-Slaying Sword, ready to strike at any moment.

When you get close to the pool, look down.

This is the so-called Phoenix Blood Pool. According to the abbot, this Nirvana Immortal Artifact was completely destroyed due to the failure of Taotie, and it no longer has the Phoenix Blood as the source of its function and the effect of triggering Nirvana.

It's good-looking, but useless in every other way.

But in Gu Qing's view, there was a very shallow layer of blood at the bottom of the pool, which was the source of the blood energy. Countless white bones were vaguely floating, as if they had been drained of their essence and blood energy and died here in vain.

In the very center, a white skeleton sits cross-legged, surrounded by countless streams of blood and ghostly energy, as if it is absorbing something.

Gu Qing suddenly turned her head.

With its magic power saturated, the Demon-Slaying Sword was activated to its peak state.

The abbot seemed somewhat taken aback, his expression suddenly turning ferocious as he erected a thick shield of ghostly energy.

"Gu Qing, you ambushed me?!"

"Ha, you think I won't attack you and let you ambush me? How ridiculous that I actually believed you a little, you old bastard."

After years of nurturing by Gu Qing, the Ghost-Slaying Sword has been upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon. Its foundation is Netherworld Stone, and its growth limit can reach the ultimate level of a magic treasure.

A strong man with a divine weapon is invincible!

The ghostly shield shattered instantly, offering almost no resistance. This sword strike severed both the body and soul!
as predicted.

The abbot of Huilong Temple was cut in half at the waist. His decaying body almost immediately turned into pus, enveloped in billowing black smoke. Only half of his soul escaped the confinement of his body.

At this moment, the abbot had a blue face and fangs, resembling a ghost who had died a violent death.

The effects of the demon-slaying technique are still eroding the wound, determined to completely eradicate it.

Gu Qing's decisiveness and quick wit greatly surprised the abbot.

"Dad, save me!"

Gu Qing's pupils contracted, and he extended his divine sense to its maximum. He saw the white bones that had been entrenched in the blood pool leap up and gently inhale, sweeping away all the blood energy, ghost energy, and spiritual energy in the area.

His flesh and blood sprouted and instantly transformed into the image of a handsome and sinister young Taoist priest, the black Taoist pattern flashing between his brows seemingly capable of devouring everything in the world.

Taotie Dao Pattern!

"Hehehehe, I am the Gluttonous Daoist, who dares to steal my offspring?"
