Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 272 The Wonder of Heaven [The Celestial Heart Lamp]

Humans are the most complex beings among sentient beings.

The seven emotions and six desires are at the top of all races. Those who cultivate themselves do not abstain from desires, but they need to cultivate their minds and control their desires.

These ancient ancestors, who have lived for countless years, though high above others, also possess a human side and are not as cold and aloof as ordinary cultivators might imagine.

Many old trees blossom again, including those that remain faithful to one man and abstain from women.

I stayed in Baohua Cave for less than three days.

Gu Qing was kicked out by the two patriarchs, and no amount of explanation from him could change their minds; they seemed to find him an eyesore.

Helpless, Gu Qing could only return to the Huosang Mountain Dojo to wait.

They waited for a full month before finally receiving news that all of the Ninth Ancestor's followers had returned, which meant that the Yan Taizu had also been executed.

Gu Qing didn't ask any further questions about the specifics. Instead, when he re-entered the mortal Yan Kingdom, the Ninth Ancestor gave him a list through a third party.

The above are all rare and precious medicines that existed in ancient times.

The meaning is self-evident.

Gu Qing was unhappy, but he had to accept the favor this time. After all, if the Ninth Ancestor were to reveal the matter of the Jinyun Secret Realm, the secret realm itself would no longer have much to do with Gu Qing.

Giving him a list is actually more reassuring.

"Anyway, it's not mine, so I might as well give it to him. Maybe the ancestor Jinyun left behind some incredible treasure."

"Be content with what you have."

Be greedy when you should be, and learn to let go when you should. Blindly adding to your position will only land you on the rooftop.

Over the years, Gu Qing's personality has actually changed somewhat.

They no longer resort to any means necessary to survive, as they used to.

The more he cultivates, the stronger he becomes, but the more human he becomes.

"Others who leave the world to cultivate themselves grow increasingly indifferent."

"I'm becoming more and more compassionate, how strange!"

…………

…………

A few days later.

Near Lingxiu Continent in the Yan Kingdom, lies the hidden realm of Jinyun.

The Taotie head vibrated continuously in Gu Qing's Niwan Palace, as if it had encountered a long-lost friend and couldn't wait to meet him.

This can be considered as him passing by his home three times without going in.

"Come out, Taotie Head."

A milky-white skull of a ferocious beast leaps into view. This unique treasure emits wisps of black smoke, which intertwine to form the shape of a small black smoke beast.

A silent roar.

Ripples spread through the air, and the space trembled intermittently.

Russian qing.

A dazzling, nebula-like blue-black vortex, interspersed with the colors of countless stars, slowly rotates.

An ancient character, "缙", suddenly burst forth and imprinted on the back of Gu Qing's hand.

"This……"

"Could it be a bloodline verification method?"

"wrong."

After a moment of anxiety, and still not receiving a response, Gu Qing felt relieved.

The ascension of the Jinyun clan was too long ago. When Taotie underwent Nirvana, the Jinyun clan members also entered this secret realm, so they probably didn't have many protective measures.

Besides, he used the main entrance, which he had a key to.

These kinds of secret realms are not ancient cave dwellings or some kind of ruins. Even if they have methods, they are for guarding against outsiders. Going through the main entrance is not a big problem.

"It's all here."

Thinking this, Gu Qing took a step forward and entered the Vortex Star Gate. The Taotie Gate outside closed again, as if no one had ever been there.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for a long time, and even Gu Qing felt a little dizzy before the sensation of traversing countless spaces finally subsided.

What came into view was a starry sky.

Just like the cosmic landscape Gu Qing had seen in his previous life, without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the power of the stars descended unrestrainedly and was absorbed by the formation of this land, transforming into spiritual energy that could be absorbed by people.

Over tens of thousands of years, the dense fog formed by spiritual energy blinded Gu Qing, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. His legs below the knees were wet, and when he took a sip into his palm, he found that they were all spiritual liquid.

Surprised, he unleashed his full power of divine sense.

They discovered that this Jinyun Secret Realm was actually a small island in the void, with a diameter of 25 kilometers and depressions on both sides, resembling a flattened round gourd.

Apart from the dark stars and silent stones in the void, there was nothing else around the island. Gu Qing couldn't recognize the array that covered the entire island, so it must be of a very high grade.

The spiritual liquid alone, if collected, would be worth over a million spirit crystals, and if converted into spirit stones, it would probably be worth more than a hundred million.

With most of his storage containers filled, he was guaranteed at least a million spirit stones, making the trip worthwhile.

But the exploration has only just begun.

Guided by his divine sense, Gu Qing headed towards the center of the island.

They didn't encounter any spiritual plants or herbs along the way, perhaps because the concentration of spiritual energy was too high, even forming a sea of ​​spiritual liquid, so ordinary spiritual creatures naturally couldn't grow.

But if there is any harvest, it will definitely be rare treasures.

The items given by the Ninth Ancestor were probably no longer needed. In fact, Gu Qing made a new discovery not long afterward.

"This is... the Enlightenment Tea Tree!!!"

On the milky white surface of the spiritual liquid, three tea trees, each ten feet tall, stood together, their surfaces covered with fallen leaves.

Just by getting close, the aroma of raw tea cleared his mind and sparked a flurry of thoughts.

Outside, even a ten-foot-tall Enlightenment Tea Tree is a rare treasure, but as a testament to the heritage of the clan, there are actually three ten-foot-tall trees here that produce a large amount of tea every year.

Even the old tea leaves soaked in the spiritual liquid until they become transparent and their veins are clearly visible, which are a huge quantity, still possess powerful effects.

It must have been soaked in spiritual liquid for many years, causing some unknown reaction, making it more effective than ordinary tender leaves.

"Get rich, get rich."

It's more than enough to weigh in tons, let alone in ounces.

"This trip was definitely worthwhile."

After carefully collecting the tea leaves, Gu Qing continued forward, picking another batch of tender tea leaves, and making a harvest every now and then.

It could be a rare and extinct elixir, or a precious stone or metal born from the earth's veins.

Sometimes you can find super-large spirit crystals formed by the deposition of spiritual energy.

The harvest included a minimum of Rank 6 items, and more than ten Rank 5 treasures.

His rapidly increasing wealth even caused him to feel panicked. That weak feeling that there were always treacherous people trying to harm him resurfaced, and his vigilance increased significantly.

After all that, when we finally reached the center of Calabash Island...

He actually only explored the northern part of the peninsula; he hasn't seen the southern part yet.

However, a high mountain was also discovered in the center.

There is a sacred platform on the mountain, and a divine stele stands there. The genealogy of the Jinyun clan is engraved on the stele, and almost all the names on it are obscured, with only one or two flashing with golden light.

And at the very top is the name [Jinyun], which is the name of the ascended ancestor. This item has a similar effect to the Soul Lamp, mainly used to confirm whether someone is alive.

It can also test qualifications and combat strength, and compile a list of the strongest members of the Jinyun bloodline.

In front of the stele is a stone platform inscribed with a large number of inscriptions that Gu Qing cannot understand, and a white jade cup is placed in the center.

The instant I reached out and touched it.

A wealth of information came to mind.

"The wondrous artifact of heaven, the Heavenly Heart Lamp, accumulates one drop of Heavenly Heart Liquid every hundred years, which can help cultivators solidify their foundation, strengthen their inner strength, increase their spiritual awareness, and improve their comprehension."

Long-term use can lead to a "pure Nirvana mind," where external demons cannot invade, inner demons are not feared, the Dao mind remains constant, and the principles of the Dharma are as clear as a book.

A legendary wonder from heaven!
