Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 250 Meeting at Pingdingshan on the Roof of Cangwu (Second Update After Taking a Leave of Absence)
In Gu Qing's previous life, an apology had to show sincerity.

Situ Yinyin was very sincere, but not generous enough, Gu Qing clicked his tongue and sighed a few times.

Looking at the golden bell on the other person's jade-like feet, an idea suddenly came to him.

"How about this, Junior Sister Yinyin is renowned and proficient in music, why don't she dance for Senior Brother?"

"how?"

…………

…………

An hour later, Situ Yinyin changed into a black dress and left Huosang Mountain looking somewhat tired.

The dance was good, and the dancers were beautiful, but the purpose was a bit hard to understand.

It was supposed to be a plea for leniency, but in the subsequent conversation...

The words subtly hinted at provoking Gu Qing's anger. The internal situation of the Situ family mentioned between the lines didn't seem like pressure; instead, they were telling him that Situ Feng was unpopular and many people wished for her to rot away.

It's best to kill them all to avoid causing more trouble.

Situ Yinyin's wish also seems to be the same, which is a bit strange, as Gu Qing doesn't seem to have a strong desire to know about their mother-daughter story.

But it would be a shame to pass up a free, plump radish.

He has never relaxed for a single day since he began his spiritual practice. Now that he has finally gained a foothold, it's time for him to enjoy life.

A few days later.

Summoned by the Ninth Ancestor, Gu Qing tidied himself up, cleared his mind, and once again prioritized cultivation, so he eagerly went over.

Outside the Ancestral Hall, under the plaque.

The Ninth Ancestor, draped in a crane-feather cloak, with deep, unfathomable eyes, spoke.

"The matter of demonic cultivators is more complicated than I thought. There's no way to deal with it for the time being, so don't alert them."

Gu Qing was startled.

"Is it the Situ clan or the Jiang clan?"

The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and sighed.

"The root of the problem lies in the mundane world."

There had been speculation that the demonic cultivators were able to travel from the far north to the southern wilderness because they possessed a super-large teleportation array. Such a strategic facility was not under the control of Baiyue Mountain and posed a great threat.

Therefore, the Ninth Ancestor Society will spare no effort to deal with the source of the problem as soon as possible.

However, if it involves the five mortal kingdoms, it would be a major event that shakes the very foundation of the Southern Wilderness human race, and it should not be taken lightly.

Gu Qing recalled the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Taizu of Yan, the Jinyun Secret Realm... as well as the Yin Tian Ghost Emperor he encountered in the desolate area and the Phoenix Ghost Mother who discovered him but did not take any further action.

No matter how you look at it, among the five mortal kingdoms directly under the Baiyue Mountains, the Yan Kingdom has the biggest problems and hides too many secrets.

Because of Gu Qing, Master Baohua had conducted an in-depth investigation, and perhaps she has other information.

Is it Emperor Taizu of Yan?
Unlike... but the last sixth-rank cultivator of the Jinyun clan did indeed die under mysterious circumstances, which is a serious problem.

Gu Qing said frankly.

“Ninth Ancestor, if it involves the Yan Kingdom, I might be able to help.”

"Don't worry, Baohua has already told me everything. She will definitely let you know when the operation begins."

"By the way, I mentioned a while ago that I'd send you to a cultivation place. How are your preparations going?"

"We can leave anytime."

Gu Qing patted his chest and assured him that he had investigated beforehand.

The Huiji Pingdingshan mentioned by the Ninth Ancestor is Huiji Mountain, a secondary battlefield between the Southern Wilderness Human Race and the Demon Realm. Due to the terrain, only one legion is stationed there.

It's a place where independent cultivators are active, demon-hunting groups are prevalent, and the four major sects and nine clans all have a place there, making it one of the top five most prosperous places in the Southern Wilderness.

Huiji Pingdingshan, just as its name suggests.

The mountain is steep, with an incline of over 90 degrees. It covers an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers and is the highest in the southern wilderness. The mountaintop is like a plain, flat and boundless!
It is even known as the "roof of Cangwu".

Looking across the entire Cangwu cultivation world, there are mountains that are even taller than this one, but there is absolutely no other mountain as flat and smooth as this, resembling a square.

Its altitude exceeds 30,000 meters; even jumping from the top would take a considerable amount of time to land. Standing on the summit feels like standing in a sea of ​​clouds, connected to the sky. Everywhere are small lakes brimming with spiritual energy, known as fairy springs.

It is also exceptional in producing numerous treasures and rare objects.

At the top of Huiji Pingding Mountain is the battlefield between the human and demon races. The Thousand Feather Eagle and Purple Extreme Demon Eagle, the two eagle king races, are responsible for fighting against the human demon hunting teams.

Because of the numerous resource-producing points on the terrain, and without wanting to destroy the essence of nature, most of the wars are small-scale battles fought around a particular resource-producing point, with each side vying for control. The intensity of these battles is not as extreme as the meat grinder-like conflicts on the frontier battlefields.

The merit system of Baiyue Mountain also applies here.

The reward amount has been significantly reduced, since gaining sovereignty over resource points is already a very high benefit.

Compared to the frontier, there are fewer independent cultivators emerging here, and there are no figures like Xue Shen'an, but a large number of independent cultivators at the seventh rank have still appeared.

Pingdingshan in Huiji is where Gu Qing will continue his training.

As long as you find a foothold on the mountaintop, set up an array to draw down the Heavenly Pure Qi, and combine it with the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, the speed of cultivating the Heavenly Spirit Body will be increased to the extreme.

Meanwhile, among the tokens that Gu Qing had the Guhuoniao take to Yaohuang City, there were some instructions for Bao Chong to take some trusted men and detour from the Demon Realm to Jishan.

It's time to take on the role of Demon Xuan.

The fact that Gu Qing used "demon" as his surname shows that he had already planned to do something in the demon realm when he created this persona.

In front of the Ancestral Hall.

The Ninth Ancestor was very satisfied with Gu Qing's answer.

“I know you have another identity in the Demon Realm, which helps you earn cultivation resources, so that’s normal.”

Back in the day, I made a name for myself in the demon realm, but alas, my youth is gone.

Gu Qing was somewhat curious.

"Did the Ninth Ancestor also venture into the Demon Realm?"

"Of course, I won't go into details, just come with me."

A powerful cultivator at the fifth-rank Dao Lord level led Gu Qing on a journey, and in less than three days, they traversed countless territories and arrived at the foot of Huiji Mountain.

"This technique is called the 'Two-Phase Secret Technique,' which can transform magical power into demonic essence. It was created by a powerful half-demon and was renowned by both humans and demons in ancient times. If you cultivate it well, it will be of great help to you."

"Many thanks to the Ninth Patriarch for transmitting the Dharma."

Gu Qing was very happy. Unexpected joy is always touching. With the two secret techniques, he could act more calmly as Mo Xuan and did not need to disguise his violent demonic power with the Demon Vengeance Dragon Robe.

"I'll leave you here. Here's the token. I'll notify you when the Yan Kingdom's operation begins, so don't miss it."

"clear."

Watching the Ninth Ancestor leave, Gu Qing looked at the enormous rock wall in front of him, which seemed to stretch endlessly. Because Huiji Pingdingshan was so vast, standing in front of it felt like standing at the end of the world.

The feeling of arriving at the Boundless Boundary, the sense of insignificance and powerlessness in the face of heaven and earth, is a difference that cannot be felt by other wonders.

"It's truly spectacular."

There is also a celestial city here, called Jishan City, with a permanent population of nearly ten million, all of whom are cultivators. It is even larger than Nanli City, but due to its location, it cannot become a trading center.

Aside from being rich in gold, minerals, and monster resources, it has no other distinguishing features.

Ten thousand meters up from Jishan City, there is a fortress attached to the rock wall, which is the garrison of the legion. Gu Qing did not intend to stay down there for long.

He only wanted to join up with Guhuoniao and Baochong as soon as possible, occupy a piece of land, and begin his secluded cultivation.

After all, besides cultivating his Heavenly Spirit Body, he also has a host of supernatural powers and secret techniques that he needs to cultivate and comprehend.

Phoenix Blood Secret Technique, Fire Essence Refining True Technique, Two-Phase Secret Technique.

Universe in the Sleeve, Shattered Gold Divine Sand, Devouring Seal, Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth, Devouring Dharma Wheel, Bashe Devouring Elephant.

In terms of magical artifacts, there are also: the Five Elements Wheel and the Sixth Grade Thunder Lotus Platform.

After breaking through to the seventh rank, one must overcome the most difficult of the three calamities of the soul, the bewitching tribulation. It would be best to refine a magic weapon to protect the soul.

The "Purifying Soul Lotus Blueprint" given to him by the senior craftsman was very suitable.

There are too many things to do, and it will take a long time to process them all.

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and the task is arduous and the journey is far from over!"
