Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 263 Power Surges, Magic Treasure Appears
The Xuan Tian Black Market is located in Gu Qing's secluded cultivation space.

A dark crack appeared directly in front of him, from which the Demon-Slaying Sword emerged and returned to his body's Niwan Palace without hesitation.

The ghost sword entered the body of the soul.

It began to unleash a violent power, all thanks to the soul power that the Earth Soul had been accumulating for him since birth, which enabled the nascent nascent soul to begin a new round of transformation.

His spiritual power surged as a result.

Within the middle dantian, the nine layers of magical energy crystal sea began to collapse, and divine sense power and original soul power flowed like a waterfall from the three gates of the marrow path and the winding Yellow River straight into the dantian.

Endless divine light gushed forth from the spring's source; the collapse and melting of the nine-layered crystal sea was merely the beginning, a small sign of the transformation of magical power.

Gu Qing activated the Gluttonous Gluttony Technique, pushing the Refining Word Technique to its limit, and absorbed all the benefits for his own use.

The Yin-Yang balance pattern of the body's hundreds of orifices is also at work. This pattern is the foundation left by the Eighth Rank Ultimate Position of Dining on the Sun and Moon. After being strengthened many times, it has almost solidified the Yin-Yang balance pattern.

Having absorbed a large amount of Yin and Yang energy to build a foundation, the previous work only involved sublimating true essence and magical power, and slightly strengthening the body.

But now it has a great role to play.

The six ranks have four realms: Creation of Yin and Yang, Heavenly Wheel Revolving, Rule of the Five Elements, and Blooming of the Three Treasures.

The lower position represents the creation of Yin and Yang, which is precisely the time to apply this layout.

Taiyin and Taiyang are both Yin and Yang, and also the two polarities.

Earth Soul and Heaven Soul represent turbidity and purity, as well as heaven and earth, embodying the concept of the mutual generation of Yin and Yang.

In addition, there is a third layer of Yin-Yang duality pattern in the body's hundreds of orifices.

It can help cultivators develop the rudiments of Yin-Yang power, which, when combined with magical power, is called [Dharma Aura]. Even cultivators of the lower three ranks cannot break through the most basic Dharma Aura defense.

Of course, in the cultivation world, it is still customary to refer to it as magical power.

Condensing the [Minor Dao Fruit] to break through to the sixth rank only involves the "Qi" aspect; there are also "Shen" and "Jing" representing spiritual consciousness and physical strength, respectively.

In terms of spiritual consciousness, it is necessary to form a primordial spirit infant to coordinate the entire body.

Regarding the essence of flesh, the divine light gushing from the divine spring is key. Connecting to the "Gate of Longevity" in the lower dantian can help Gu Qing completely refine the [Fire Ancestor Dao Body] and complete the final transformation of his physical body.

Now there is yin but no yang, there is earth but no sky, and the earth is turbid and heavy while the sky is clear and sparse.

Gu Qing couldn't complete it all at once, so he could only adjust his pace and slow down the refining speed of the Gluttonous Devouring Technique, so that he could always be improving.

The earth spirit, which provides the source of power for transformation, is also quite large.

This feeling of progress every minute and every second needs to continue until the Heavenly Soul returns to its place. Therefore, Gu Qing needs to use a clone to control the refining speed of the Gluttonous Devouring Technique and take it slowly.

Even so, their strength is increasing dramatically.

The benefits of this transformation are immense and comprehensive. It feels like I could take on 1.9999 White Ancestors, and perhaps even crush a Thousand Feather Eagle King.

Their growth rate in strength is quite exaggerated.

This is just the beginning of a small transformation. When he truly breaks through to the sixth-grade great cultivator realm, Gu Qing has no idea what level his combat power will reach.

"Things are different now after all."

After balancing her internal condition, Gu Qing got up and stretched, something she hadn't done in a long time.

Gu Qing had gained a lot from this seclusion, but he was still not very confident about the Heavenly Spirit Body. He was recently sending people to search for relevant treasures to help him.

The Nine Heavens are different from the Netherworld. The Netherworld is more separated from the real world, and the resources and strange objects it produces are not very applicable and have a limited market.

The Nine Heavens are the premier exploration ground of the Cangwu Realm, surpassing even the desolate and uninhabited areas. Furthermore, because there is no concept of a core area, each heaven is a unique place, producing rare and precious treasures with extremely wide applications. It is easy to encounter other powerful cultivators during the search for the Heavenly Soul.

Normally, it's best to go with an elder or protector, otherwise you're likely to run into trouble in the Nine Heavens. After all, apart from the great cultivators of the Southern Wilderness, there are powerful figures from all over the world who explore the Nine Heavens year-round in search of treasures.

Encountering a powerful demonic cultivator would be disastrous.

In addition, Gu Qing was also worried that his Heavenly Soul might be a little abnormal. After all, the essence of the soul was slightly different, and it was expected that there would be accidents or that it would be more difficult to recall him.

We need to be more thorough in our preparations.

Upon leaving the secluded chamber, Hu Meiniang, Bao Chong, Hongyi, and the others immediately sought him out to report on the operations of the Xuantian Black Market.

"Lord Mo Xuan, the first Xuan Tian Auction has ended. This is the profit from five years of operation. This ledger contains detailed transaction information with the four sects and nine clans of the human race. All your instructions have been carried out."

"very good."

Gu Qing's praise made her even happier.

Auctions are an important indicator of a party's power and a prime means of making money, often resulting in the sale of treasures at a premium and generating greater profits.

He had already made the arrangements; he had previously attended the Tongbao auction in Nanli City.

That was just a small auction held by the Yue family, not very large in scale. Gu Qing's target was the Nanli Auction, which was jointly organized by the Five Immortal Clans and was extremely large in scale.

It is the number one auction in Nan Yue, and an important factor in Nan Li Immortal City's reputation as the number one immortal city. Gu Qing also wants to win the title of number one in Ji Shan, which would complement the title of Ji Shan Demon King.

There are many similar measures. The net profit over the past five years totaled 180,000 spirit stones, reaching the pinnacle of Demon Phoenix City right from the start, which Gu Qing was very satisfied with.

With the resources he picked up from the Thousand Feather Eagle King, he now had 330,000 spirit stones, making him incredibly wealthy, and this was far from the limit of the Xuan Tian Black Market.

The profits from the secret transactions with the four clans and nine families were also contained in these 180,000 spirit stones.

It's funny.

With the Bai family of Cangshan setting an example, the deterrent effect was excellent, leading the four clans and nine families to only dare to secretly travel between Baiyue Mountain after receiving hints, and even then, their actions were extremely subtle.

When they discovered there was more than one, their first reaction was, "Oh no, we're going to get reported!" But after they counted, they realized, "Damn, everyone's here!" So they immediately expanded their operations.

At least the strongholds of the various forces in Jishan City have basically all made connections with Mo Xuan, and they're all getting rich together—a win-win situation for everyone.

After dealing with the accumulated affairs and setting the next five-year plan, Gu Qing returned to the Qingyun Camp. In the Earth Fire Chamber, the magic weapon that had been brewing for nearly thirty years was finally ready to be born!
First and foremost is the treasure Gu Qing values ​​most for avoiding calamity: the sixth-grade Thunder Lotus Dao Platform, a low-grade magic weapon. The blueprint's upper limit is actually a top-grade magic weapon.

As a reward from the founder, Gu Qing is also an outstanding weapon refiner. If used well, it can be applied throughout his entire sixth-grade cultivation career, making it very suitable for him.

This shows how highly the patriarchs valued it.

Its shape resembles an ordinary stone platform, just big enough for one person to sit cross-legged. It is covered by a circle of stone lotus flowers with thunder patterns, totaling eighteen petals. When activated by magic, it will unleash a large amount of lightning.

Its main functions are defense, support, and protection from calamity.

The comprehensive [Thunder Lotus Dao Pattern] is also a superior item among many thunder-based magical treasures, and its value is not low.

The other low-grade magic weapon, the Five Elements Wheel, is a versatile magic weapon suitable for Gu Qing's main body to use as a common trump card.

Of course, the most important thing is that the [Five Elements Dao Pattern] that governs the power of the five elements will be of great use in the future. Gu Qing plans to start comprehending it now, so as not to have to cram at the last minute and easily encounter bottlenecks.

As a result, it didn't take more than a few days.

The Guhuoniao has returned and brought him some news.

"Something has happened in the State of Yan!"
