Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 213 Harvest and Doubts

As one of the top divine abilities in this world, the effect of [Devouring Heaven and Earth] on Gu Qing is far from insignificant; its ability to assist in cultivation even surpasses the abilities displayed on the character panel.

Previously, the Taotie Refining Technique alone allowed Gu Qing to refine pills and earthly demons at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

After getting started, I was able to almost trade resources for time.

Taotie's innate talent is definitely the most helpful opportunity for him in the past fifty years.

Later, he obtained the Domain and Elephant Devouring Divine Power from the ancient ferocious beast Bashe, which made up for some of the shortcomings, but it was not a perfect match after all. It was invincible in cultivation, but Gu Qing rarely used it in battle.

The Great Divine Power is one of the most powerful in this world, and when used in combat, it is even more exaggerated than the foundation and advantages that Gu Qing has gradually accumulated.

If he mastered the Gluttonous Devouring Technique and perfected the Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth, it would become his trump card, making it much easier to fight across realms.

"This alone makes the trip worthwhile."

The changes to the Gluttonous Head continued, and Gu Qing didn't waste too long. His most dazzling gain was something else entirely—the Phoenix Blood Pool.

The legendary Nirvana artifact.

Although it requires the blood of the phoenix to activate its original function, the Jinyun clan has made significant progress in other areas after years of research.

Otherwise, Jin Yunlan and his son wouldn't have used it to revive.

Besides these, Gu Qing still had many unresolved questions.

For example, the Jinyun clan, as a descendant of the ancestor of mankind, although tens of thousands of years have passed and it has long since declined, should not be destroyed by a father and son. The legacy left by the ancestor of mankind should contain methods to deal with crises.

This point of doubt can actually be seen from Lianfeng Zhenren's own experience; past glory does not guarantee continued glory.

The bloodline of the Immortal Lord of Baiyue has also declined, but that is due to the curse of the True Dragon.

Looking at ancient history.

Of the five great ancestors' lineages, two branches reside in the Southern Wilderness: one is the Jinyun Clan, and the other is the Dihong Clan.

The clan's guardian beasts are Taotie and Hundun. The latter is a member of the royal family of the Southern Yue Kingdom, now known as the Jiang family. Of the four ancient ferocious beasts, only Taotie died in the Cangwu Realm. The other three ascended to heaven one after another, but left behind descendants.

The Dihong Jiang clan has a second-generation Chaos as its clan's foundation.

The reason they have the confidence to sever ties with Baiyue Mountain is because, in terms of reputation and righteousness, they are more representative of the orthodoxy of the human race than Baiyue Mountain.

Gu Qing didn't know where the descendants of the other three ancestors were.

Compared to the situation in the Southern Wilderness, the current predicament of the Jinyun Clan is somewhat related to the Di Hong Clan.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

In matters of internal strife, the human race has more say than the demon race.

For the sake of his safety, Gu Qing decided not to delve into this suspicious point; who knows what kind of trickery might be involved?

Before coming to the State of Yan, he brought Yan Jiangyue along, and the main reason for trying to get involved with the forces of the State of Yan was that he wanted to use their influence to investigate the Jinyun Clan.

This leads to the second point of doubt.

Jin Yunlan was implicated by the Phoenix Blood Pool and unable to leave the underground palace. His son, the Abbot of Huilong Temple, was also a useless person. How exactly did he manage to kill the entire Jin Yun clan, especially the sixteenth-generation Jin Yun patriarch?

Gu Qing could only think of two words.

"helper!"

There are only a few suspects: the Yan royal family, the demon clan, and the Di Hong clan. Their weakened power means that even if the Jinyun clan cooperates, they are in a weak position.

Given that the Yan royal family ruled the Yan state, it is naturally the most suspicious.

Yan Taizu was a genuine sixth-rank Grand Cultivator, his exact realm unknown, but his strength definitely surpassed that of a rising junior like Lian Chutiangong. The immediate crisis was resolved, but that didn't mean the series of hidden secrets that had surfaced didn't need to be dealt with. If Gu Qing were to be implicated, he would surely meet a gruesome end.

"Following this logic, the founding emperor of the Yan royal family must have been closely monitoring my movements since I returned to Yan."

"Knowing that I was coming to Huilongguan to seek revenge, they did not show themselves."

"Does he know about the existence of the Phoenix Blood Pool?"

The more Gu Qing thought about it, the more serious his expression became.

The situation is so serious that we must be extremely careful. Moreover, Gu Qing has discovered an even more serious problem: if the primary suspect is the Yan royal family, does he have the support of the Di Hong clan behind his actions against the descendants of the human ancestors?
If you think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.

Gu Qing felt a chill run down his spine. Fortunately, he hadn't told Yan Jiangyue too much; he had only asked her to do a census so he could use that as an excuse to find his biological parents.

The purpose of this trip was to sever worldly ties, which is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

What needs to be done now is to remain unaware of the background of Huilongguan and treat it merely as a minor force, in order to conceal the fact that we have learned about the Jinyun clan.

Regardless, the reputation of the ancestral lineage must be taken into consideration.

After figuring it out.

Gu Qing arrived at the Phoenix Blood Pool and used the Jinyun Artifact Ancestral Method to initially refine the enormous pool with his magic power, making it a Nirvana Immortal Artifact, which was two major levels higher than a magic treasure.

Above the magic treasures are the heaven-reaching magic treasures used by fifth-rank cultivators.

Above that are the immortal artifacts used by fourth-grade cultivators. Logically speaking, Gu Qing shouldn't have been able to refine such a treasure, but the Phoenix Blood Pool had been depleted for too long, and Jin Yunlan's improper use of it had also caused it great damage.

It would be good enough if it had the power of a magic weapon. Of course, for a weapon refiner, the teaching effect of this immortal artifact far outweighs its practical value.

As for its actual use, Gu Qing couldn't help but think of the events that happened in the Demon Phoenix Tomb Realm.

The current Demon Emperor brought back a phoenix egg.

This is the phoenix bloodline right here. It's far from enough to scheme against Gu Qing. We can only keep it in our hearts for now and think of a way when the opportunity arises.

Using a special refining technique, the underground palace began to rumble and shake. Gu Qing quickly increased his magical power output to ensure the integrity of the underground palace, which had been painstakingly prepared by Jin Yunlan.

It would be best not to cause any damage, and this would also allow Gu Qing to extricate himself from the situation.

After a while.

A magnificent pool, adorned with gold and red hues and carved with phoenixes in flight, fell into Gu Qing's palm. He absorbed it into his body, placing it in his lower dantian and the gate of longevity.

It was just the right place to contain Gu Qing's vast sea of ​​blood, which represented his essence.

The lotus flower that nourishes his essence with the essence of immortality will greatly benefit his future path of cultivation. After all, no matter how damaged or broken a celestial artifact is, it is still a rare treasure. If an ordinary cultivator obtains it, it is enough to defy the heavens and change his fate!

The effects of Nirvana are perfectly compatible with the essence of body refinement.

It can make up for minor deficiencies in the training method.

Although the Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture is a dual cultivation method of body and mind, Gu Qinghua's resources in the Qi path far exceed those in the essence path.

Therefore, it is possible to discover among these enemies encountered.

In terms of fire and lightning magic, Gu Qing has few rivals, but he has encountered many powerful opponents in the art of physical body cultivation. It can only be said that he has achieved a high level but not the ultimate level.

Now that the Phoenix Blood Pool has been added, this shortcoming will surely be made up for.

Even because the attributes are a good match.

The Fire Spirit Mystic Body can be upgraded to a Treasure Body, or even a Dao Body or an Immortal Body, and will have miraculous effects.
