Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 219 Two Years
This seclusion lasted for two years.

One after another, he placed a number of finished low-grade spiritual artifacts at the entrance. Gu Qing accepted them all. As long as the equipment was placed at the entrance of the Earth Fire Chamber, he would take the time to refine them.

Besides.

His main focus was on comprehending the [Hundred Reincarnations Soul Refining Technique]. This weapon refining technique was not of a high grade and it was easy to master it to the proficiency level, and it was only a step away from the mastery level.

He originally planned to modify the Gold and Stone Bottle after mastering the levels, but when he actually started working on it, he discovered that the Gold and Stone Bottle contained too many gold and stone minerals, as well as mineral treasures to nourish it.

Unbeknownst to them, the precious light emanating from it was actually three feet high.

Its grade has been upgraded to a high-grade spiritual weapon, which means that the level of the Soul Refining Technique is no longer sufficient.

He wanted to achieve his goal in one step, ideally by using his lifespan to deduce the Soul Refining Method once, and then begin refining the treasure bottle to directly create his first magic weapon.

He was confident in this regard.

Then came the second goal: the Undying Demon Soul Body, which was the main method he had been cultivating and comprehending over the past two years.

Unsurprisingly, thanks to its exceptional compatibility.

Comprehending this Earthly Fiend Divine Power was as simple as eating and drinking. After two years, it naturally advanced to the perfect state, and the nascent nascent soul in the Niwan Palace took on the appearance of a demonic infant.

The main function of this Earthly Fiend Divine Power is its restorative and indestructible properties, which can greatly enhance Gu Qing's soul essence.

The injuries sustained during the cultivation of the Earth Spirit Body have been healed.

You can consider cultivating the Heavenly Spirit Body. The Demon-Slaying Sword is too heavy on killing, and its spiritual essence is thin, which is a disadvantage.

Insufficient compatibility with the Heavenly Soul Body is also a disadvantage.

However, Gu Qing also wanted to refine it into a spiritual body. In the future, when the three bodies were combined, the two swords, which used the weapon as a carrier, would become his natal magic treasures as he advanced to the sixth rank, and their power would increase dramatically.

Therefore, in the past two years, he took out some of the spoils from the Myriad Serpent Nest Secret Realm and used the Innate Weapon Refining Method to implant the Demon-Slaying Sword into it, changing the base material while enhancing its potential and giving birth to a second attribute.

In this respect, Gu Qing's "Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique: Nine Absolutes of Thunder" has a great advantage in the Heavenly Thunder, one of the nine absolutes.

Transform scriptures and techniques into methods and restrictions for crafting weapons.

A sixth-grade spiritual item, the Thunder Fruit, and a large quantity of seventh-grade spiritual items, the Lightning Stones, will be used to cultivate treasures.

The magical restrictions transformed from the Heavenly Thunder Scripture were simultaneously applied to the Demon-Slaying Sword. After two years of absorption and refinement, golden lightning gradually began to linger on the surface of the sword.

This step, aside from the Demon-Slaying Technique, involves...

Gu Qing bestowed a second magical restriction upon the Demon-Slaying Sword—the Path of Thunder.

But this sword itself is special, following the path of great force and rapid spinning, originally remaining a pure and top-grade spiritual weapon, a prototype of a magic treasure!
After being mixed with thunder, its rank actually decreased.

It has fallen to the level of a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Gu Qing had already noticed this, but she didn't want to give up, so she had to start over.

The Demon-Slaying Technique Restriction has not been weakened, but the Thunder Path Technique Restriction is too weak and needs to be strengthened. Once the two reach a similar strength, they will naturally return to their original rank.

It's equivalent to a mini-refinement.

The method to strengthen him is also very simple. Gu Qing only needs to cultivate the Nine Absolutes of Thunder Dao, transform the rare thunder that meets the requirements into spell runes, and feed them to the Heavenly Thunder Restriction to grow rapidly.

It will take some time for it to fully develop, so Gu Qing placed it in the Qingyun Tower, which he carried with him, to nurture it.

Finally, there is the Earth Spirit Body.

The "Spiritual Body Technique" does not prevent Gu Qing from continuing to use the Ghost-Slaying Sword, but he must be careful not to damage the weapon, otherwise the spiritual body will also dissipate, as it is a strong bond of life and death.

Because it was refined into a spiritual body, the connection between it and Gu Qing was greatly enhanced, and it could be controlled more freely.

Furthermore, as the Earth Spirit Body spent more and more time cultivating in the Yin Yin position within Gu Qing's body, its strength steadily increased, and the Demon-Slaying Sword also grew stronger.

This is the advantage of the Artifact Seed Path; it can always nurture two excellent magical artifact embryos, making it very suitable for artifact refiners.

Similarly, the path of the Dharma Seed will spontaneously evolve as the spiritual body grows, becoming increasingly profound, even reaching the level of minor supernatural powers. This requires some additional opportunities to catalyze it.

If not, it can be considered the most top-tier, first-class technique below supernatural powers. On this day...

Gu Qing is currently studying the complete [Devouring Heaven and Earth] Great Divine Power, wanting to catch up with the level of refining the Devouring Technique as soon as possible.

Yan Jiangyue suddenly came to visit.

Outside the underground fire pit, under a pavilion.

"Elder Gu, it has been two years since I returned home. I wonder when I will return to the mountain."

Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"Want to go back?"

"Yes."

Yan Jiangyue gave a bitter laugh.

"I've been harassed by the aristocratic families lately, which has affected my daily cultivation. The Baiyue Mountains are a better place for cultivation. I'm still accumulating contribution points to exchange for the pills I want. I've been away for too long."

Yan Jiangyue had only recently broken through to the middle level of the eighth rank and mastered the Golden Dew Abstinence technique.

Although not a top genius, his talent is actually quite good. This realm requires refining the spiritual root, transforming the divine spring, fasting and purifying, returning to the origin, and having a chance to be reborn.

It's really not something that can be delayed.

However, Gu Qing had other things to do, so she thought about it briefly.

"Here's the pass; take it and go back first."

"Please inquire whether the Celestial Craftsman's Ascension Ceremony will be held as scheduled. If it's postponed, please notify me using the 'Spiritual Insight Instruction.' I'd appreciate it if you could make that trip."

"It doesn't matter."

Yan Jiangyue accepted the token, stood up, and took his leave. The so-called Lingxi Zhen was a means of communication used on the frontier battlefield. It was a method of transmission that was both covert and reusable.

It is more convenient than using talismans, and there are no distance restrictions.

Aside from being blocked by the secret realm, as long as you write the information on the paper, the corresponding text will appear on another part of the Spiritual Insight Paper, making two copies.

The Lingxi Zhen is difficult to refine, the raw materials are scarce, and the quantity is not large. Therefore, it cannot be popularized by all cultivators like talismans. However, those with higher cultivation levels will generally use this communication method.

Just because it's convenient!
After seeing Yan Jiangyue off, the Prince of Yan came to visit again the next day. He also talked about when Gu Qing planned to leave. He was not trying to get rid of him, but because his daughter had returned home and he wanted to ask Gu Qing about his plans.

The magical artifacts crafted during this period have greatly benefited the Yan royal family, so naturally they want him to stay longer.

Gu Qing's answer was also simple.

"One year."

"The spiritual artifacts we've refined during this period are enough for your use. Without enough seventh-grade True Immortals, even if we refine spiritual artifacts, they'll only be used by True Immortals. It's like a small horse pulling a large cart; it's not a good match."

"I plan to take a stroll around the State of Yan. I apologize for disturbing you during this time. Farewell."

The Prince of Yan paused, about to say something, unwilling to let this good-natured weapon-refining master leave, but Gu Qing's figure had already disappeared.

A streak of fire flashed across the sky.

Judging from the direction, they must have gone to Fengming Mansion.

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, the Prince of Yan went to the Taiji Hall to report the situation to Emperor Taizu of Yan.

Gu Qing stayed for one last reason.

Of course, we'll talk about that after he goes to Fengming Prefecture.
