Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 238 Famous Throughout the Mountains
His first opponent was just a Xia family cultivator at the eighth rank.

With a single, masterful Fire Dragon Technique, he knocked the person off the platform, securing an easy victory.

Because the Burning Gold Fire had been completely consumed by him.

This caused Gu Qing's ordinary magical power to transform into flames, which was the form of burning gold and fire, instantly making him a top ten contender.

The colleagues in the Weapon Refining Hall were extremely envious. The Weapon Refining Hall once had an ancestor who had refined the Burning Gold Fire, but unfortunately died when he was undergoing the Ascension Tribulation, leaving behind the half-step fourth-grade Burning Gold Immortal Fire.

This is the most suitable type of strange fire for weapon refiners.

Although Gu Qing devoured the sub-fire, it was enough to cause a huge uproar.

His friends, including Li Qiufeng, Zhao Yuyang, and Chen Yin, cheered for him.

Master Fu Liu's expression was unfathomable.

It's interesting how each person, with their unique perspective, reveals a different attitude based on just a glimpse of Gu Qing's personality.

“Gu Qing…”

The first round took about ten days to finish. Everyone had a chance to participate. There were several candidates from each team vying for the top ten spots, including Jiang Zuling, Song Qingfeng, Lei Jiulou, Sun Yunshu from Flame Mountain, and a few dark horses.

Fang Fengling, a seventh-rank lower-level cultivator from the Fangfeng clan, was skilled in the art of wind arrows. Even Gu Qing had a deep impression of his extraordinary archery skills.

If it's a battle between people of the same realm, and they don't resort to desperate measures, the outcome is really hard to say.

In the second and third rounds, Gu Qing had a smooth run without encountering any opponents until the fourth round, the 22-to-11 match, when he met his first worthy opponent.

On the floating Dharma platform.

Gu Qing had one hand behind his back and the other hanging naturally at his sides, his eyes smiling.

"Jiang Zuling".

"Gu Qing!"

In the battle of Luoyun Mountain Range, Jiang Zuling was fooled by him. At that time, the culprit was Jiang Mu. In order to obtain the Kongqingyun Fire, he did not hesitate to use his power to search for Jiang Mu. However, the other party repeatedly escaped by using the Cloud Escape Technique.

She even declared that she would sever ties with the Jiang family and vow to never reconcile with Jiang Zuling!

I heard that Jiang Mu is doing very well in the holy land of rogue cultivators, [Maludi], and has even broken through to the seventh rank. He has joined the first-class sect in the Southern Wilderness, Xiantian Dao Academy, and is also less than a hundred years old.

Compared to Jiang Zuling, the resources and family support they receive are worlds apart, making it obvious who is superior. It's a pity that this person didn't attend this celebration.

Jiang Mu is a genius of another kind. He is not particularly talented, but he has made steady progress step by step, accumulating knowledge and experience. He has a deep foundation and good fortune, having received many ancient cave dwellings from sages.

As a result, many rumors and gossips circulated about the Jiang family.

Due to various factors and coincidences, Jiang Mu is the primary culprit, and Gu Qing also harbors great hatred towards him. After all, Jiang Xi'er obtained the Sky Azure Cloud Fire, and this matter could only be concealed temporarily.

After one experience, Jiang Zuling developed a hatred for three people.

"You deserve to die."

"I hope you can still say that later."

Before the thirty-sixth ancestor, who was acting as a referee, could speak, Jiang Zuling rushed forward impatiently, throwing a top-grade spiritual weapon sword that transformed into a giant sword and slashed down.

Gu Qing waved his sleeves, and a sea of ​​fire surged upwards.

With each step, a flash of light, effortless and graceful.

His mastery of the Flame Lord's Secret Manual had reached its peak; his fire-based techniques, under the supernatural powers, could be summoned with a wave of his hand, demonstrating consummate skill.

This demonstrates mastery of laws and principles.

In contrast, Jiang Zuling, relying on the power of the spiritual weapon, was unable to even unleash the Jiang family's famous supernatural techniques, making it hard to believe that this was the Dao seed of the Di Hong Jiang clan.

The sea of ​​fire swept over the giant sword. The special effect of the incinerating fire on metal and stone artifacts crippled it with a single blow, stripping it of all its spirituality and severing its connection with Jiang Zuling completely.

Two high-grade spiritual artifacts, the Treasure Mirror and the Flag, appeared together. Gu Qing shook his head slightly, pointed a finger, and the Burning Finger Fire Line sent the Treasure Mirror flying. The Flaming Sword Light cut the Flag in half, and a pillar of fire erupted from the ground, completely obscuring everyone's vision and divine sense.

After three breaths.

With a mouthful of rotten teeth and a bruised and swollen face, Jiang Zuling lay unconscious in the center of the execution platform, while Gu Qing sighed.

"Looks like you won't have another chance to be sarcastic, how pathetic~"

"Gu Qing wins!"

After the Thirty-Six Ancestors finished their pronouncement, they picked up Jiang Zuling and threw him back onto the Jiang family's altar, showing no respect whatsoever. At this moment, dark clouds gathered, and the atmosphere was somber.

The patriarch of the Jiang family, who called himself Xiaoyaozi, showed no sign of carefree living.

He glanced at Gu Qing and gave the instructions.

"Send someone to investigate Gu Qing, focusing on his grudge against Zu Ling."

"Yes, old man."

The fact that a promising candidate from the Jiang family was eliminated in a crushing manner, and that the person was a cultivator from Baiyue Mountain, is rather intriguing. It's no secret that the Jiang family of Dihong is splitting up.

Being slapped in the face like this can easily damage one's reputation and breed rumors such as, "Is this all the level you've reached after leaving Baiyue Mountain?" These kinds of rumors spread very quickly.

After defeating Jiang Zuling, Gu Qing's strength became a mystery.

Furthermore, he was pushed into a strong position in the top three by busybodies, and the other disciples of the three mountains were also discussing it, after all, the seventh-rank lower level was considered the top combat power in this battle.

The victory was so easy; it's hard not to suspect that Gu Qing's cultivation level was higher.

"Ninth floor, are you confident?"

"Reporting to Master, yes! This person is exceptionally skilled in fire magic and possesses immense magical power. He appears gentle and friendly, but in reality, he carries an extremely heavy aura of malevolence. He must be a ruthless individual who has spent years walking the line between life and death."

“Each spell looks casual, but it actually strikes at the weakness of Jiang Zuling’s control of multiple spiritual artifacts. He wins by taking shortcuts, but it also proves that his combat ability far surpasses these geniuses who only have cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Shenxiao Leijun nodded in approval.

"You see things very clearly, that's good."

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching."

"No need to be modest. You know that the Four Seas are guarded by the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and there are almost no wars in the Four Seas."

The Eight Desolate Lands are constantly at war with the demon race, and are separated by vast distances. This area is also known as the "Eight Desolate Trials," which were originally established by the founding ancestors of the Twelve Immortal Sects.

The Sky-Piercing Eagle Kings of the Southern Wilderness are generally weak, and their internal strife is severe, so they can't put much pressure on Baiyue Mountain. Therefore, their geniuses have various reasons to refuse the fifty-year Blood Refinement Ceremony.

"Little did they know that this was precisely why the Ascension Ceremony was held only once every hundred years or so. The separation of Emperor Hong Jiang was only part of the reason; the real problem for Baiyue Mountain was the lack of successors."

Lei Jiulou seemed to be deep in thought. The same scene was happening on the Dao Platforms of other immortal mountains, where people were basically using this opportunity to teach the next generation the principles of life.

Gu Qing has become famous throughout the mountains and has stepped into the limelight as a genius. After this celebration, he will surely become a representative figure of the younger generation of Baiyue Mountain.

The battle of wits continues.

After a full month, the battle for the top ten began. At first, there were cases where the battles were resolved quickly, but as the competition progressed, everyone's strength became more and more even, and winning became a protracted battle.

One event can only be held per day.

In this round, Gu Qing encountered the target Jiang Xi'er had asked him to be: a young prodigy from Medicine King Valley.

"Feel sorry."

Zhou Changyu looked puzzled. What did it mean to apologize before the fight even started? He soon found out...
