Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 276 New Supernatural Powers, Techniques, and Magical Treasures (Bonus Chapter 4 of This Month)

A wisp of magical power emerged from Gu Qing's fingertips.

When it is thrown to the ground, life force gathers and magic power comes into play. A blade of grass breaks through the obstruction of the solid stone and grows rapidly, but soon withers and dies. New shoots sprout from the corpse again, full of vitality.

"A year brings both flourishing and decay..."

When magic was first created, it could actually do this, since magic, also known as "the power of immortals," is itself a miraculous power that can be used for anything.

The evolution of the five elements, the creation of yin and yang, the extension of life and longevity, the manipulation of heaven and earth... all can be achieved, but the required amount may be unaffordable.

Therefore, supernatural powers came into being, serving as a fulcrum that allows cultivators to leverage even greater power, and also as an amplifier that amplifies the effects of magical power by hundreds or thousands.

This newly comprehended principle of the cycle of life and death, like a realm of thought, is very compatible with the Nascent Soul stage.

For some reason, Gu Qing suddenly grasped the path of a sixth-grade cultivator.

"Legal principles, artistic conception, Taoist principles... is it about pursuing harmony between humanity and nature...?"

The Four Nine Immortal Paths.

The lower three ranks focus on essence, energy, and spirit, while the middle three ranks require seeking the Dao from heaven and earth, exhausting the principles and laws, and comprehending the ineffable realm and laws.

By condensing a unique personal Dao Fruit within the Ancestral Aperture Heavenly Heart, and then combining it with the Dao Fruit of the Three Treasures, one can form the Golden Elixir of Longevity, thus achieving the initial completion of the Great Dao and being worthy of being called a Fifth-Rank True Immortal.

Despite not yet having broken through to the sixth rank, Gu Qing suddenly grasped the essence of this stage, demonstrating a significant improvement in his comprehension.

Comprehension is not static; it is both easy and difficult to improve.

For example.

When babies are first born, they are intelligent and quick to learn, which is actually due to the pressure of their environment. If their comprehension is 1 at this stage, they will gain more and more knowledge and experience as they grow older.

Comprehension will naturally grow to a level of 2, or even 3 or 4.

The same principle applies to spiritual practice.

It's hard to grasp at first, but as your understanding grows and you learn more, your comprehension develops along with your accumulated knowledge, and you grow in the process.

This is called "enlightenment!"

Even the most foolish person, as long as they learn step by step, are down-to-earth, and accumulate enough experience and knowledge, can create their own methods and develop their own path. Ordinary people call them wise in a foolish way, but in reality, their wisdom is gradually opening up.

This is the simplest way to improve one's comprehension.

The sea of ​​knowledge is boundless!

The only drawback is that it requires a lot of time. Gu Qing's comprehension was initially rated as Grade B by the Martial Scripture Stele, but over the years, in terms of comprehension of immortality, he has long surpassed Grade A.

Not to mention the recent harvest of a batch of Enlightenment Tea, whose comprehension is even more astonishing.

The feeling of divine assistance in everything I think is indescribable.

The principle of the cycle of life and death is merely an anomaly; the focus should remain on comprehending various cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and magical treasures.

The auxiliary cultivation technique "Ziwei Qi Gathering Strategy" evolved into "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Qi" with a total of twelve layers, mainly to improve the upper limit of Gu Qing's essence, energy and spirit, and further enhance his foundation.

The cultivated celestial energy can be refined into a superior-grade qi technique of the same name, primarily for defense.

It is worth mentioning that among the Thirty-Six Qi of the Heavenly Gang, there is one of the top-ranking Qi called "Heavenly Gang Star Qi".

Perhaps the two can be combined to form new techniques.

Of course, supernatural powers are just an unexpected product of the path of cultivation. The fundamental purpose lies in raising the upper limit of essence, energy and spirit. It is already difficult to gather the three treasures, so it is not a problem to add more and be greedy.

Once you get through it, the rewards are always delightful.

Because of Gu Qing's strong foundation, he was able to reach the sixth level of this technique as soon as he started, and after a little practice, he reached the eighth level, which slightly increased the total amount of essence, energy and spirit.

The next four layers are where the real improvement lies.

In terms of Taoist techniques, both fire and thunder have changed. The name remains the same, "The Secret Manual of the Flame Lord" has evolved to the level of normal supernatural power, but most of the thousands of fire-based techniques contained within have been promoted to the level of minor supernatural power.

To regress from the state of perfection to the state of minor accomplishment, one needs to cultivate and comprehend again.

The Heavenly Demon Thunder Technique: Nine Absolute Thunder Paths is different from the Fire Path. It consists of five orthodox thunder paths and four demonic thunder paths, which are called the Nine Absolutes.

Zheng Lei is the magical lightning that Gu Qing, the human, often uses.

Demonic Thunder is the demonic energy thunder commonly used by the disguised demonic cultivator, filled with the intent of destruction and evil.

I have recently gained some insights into the principles of the Five Elements.

The five paths of Zheng Lei evolved into Yin-Yang Five Elements Dharma Thunder, which not only conformed to the principles of the Five Elements but also possessed the duality of Yin and Yang. It was a commonly used method to prepare for breaking through to the sixth rank. Because his foundation was somewhat lacking, it was only at the level of a minor supernatural power, and it did not consume much of his lifespan.

The same principle applies to the four paths of demonic lightning, which are deduced to be annihilating lightning that destroys all life and everything.

The Nine Absolutes of Thunder Path were divided into two.

The minor supernatural arts "Yin Yang Five Elements Thunder" and "Heavenly Demon Extinction Thunder Technique" have undergone significant changes, dropping to the level of mastery and requiring further study of new content.

In terms of secret techniques, all of them have achieved a second upgrade through the burning of life force, making them vastly different from the original version.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Technique evolved into the [Nine Transformations of the Fiery Dragon Secret Method]. This transformation technique is no longer limited to physical form, but rather incorporates the true dragon god, allowing one to utilize some of the Fiery Dragon's innate supernatural powers, completely eliminating any flaws.

The Fire Refining Technique evolved into the Five Elements Spirit Refining Technique, which was created to refine the essence of the five elements and has great uses after breakthrough.

The Phoenix Blood Secret Technique evolved into the [Blood Devouring Demon Art], which is no longer limited to the Phoenix, a divine beast. It can seize the blood of all demons and condense it into a treasure similar to the Desolate Blood Holy Medicine, greatly improving body cultivation and even accelerating the development of a unique physique.

The Treasure Condensation Technique and the Two Phases Secret Technique have not been renamed, and their effects have only been greatly enhanced on the original basis.

It can be seen that Gu Qing's interests lie in improving fundamental supernatural abilities and secret techniques, many of which will play a great role in cultivation. Combined with the Taotie Refining Method, this is the real reason for his rapid improvement in cultivation level.

It's purely out of personal interest.

As for magical artifacts, he gained much more, and they were designed based on the equipment he possessed, so he could refine them immediately. They were like custom-made items with a perfect fit.

One of them is the Fire-based magical artifact, the Heaven-Burning Feather Fan, which is made from the feathers of birds and beasts such as peacocks, cranes, eagles, geese, and pheasants. With a wave of the fan, flames can be emitted, capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea.

Secondly, there is the Thunder Dao magic treasure, the Purple Lightning Crown, which is made by using Thunder Dao gold and stone supplemented with Thunder Accumulation Cloud, Thunder Tribulation Liquid, and Purple Lightning Divine Jade. It is an enhancement type magic treasure, which is purer than the Thunder Refining Platform and can greatly enhance the power of Gu Qing's Thunder Magic.

Thirdly, there is the Void Treasure [Eight-Step Void Boots], which is made from seven-colored silkworm silk, the essence of the hidden clouds of Huiji Mountain, Void Amethyst, and Wind-Tearing Pearl. Its effect is simple and brutal, granting Gu Qing the ability to teleport.

With one step, one can appear anywhere within a hundred miles.

Casting void-type spells will be easier, with a slight amplification effect.

These three magical treasures consumed a great deal of Gu Qing's effort. The artifact cultivation points he had accumulated over the years were all used up in one fell swoop, half of which were spent on the deduction of the magical treasure blueprints.

Because it not only needs to be usable now, but also needs to leave room for improvement.

In preparation for obtaining the necessary materials in the future, space will be reserved for upgrading to a Heavenly Treasure.

"If I can master the three magic weapons, all my efforts over the past thirty years will be for naught."

Even so, he was happy to do it.

A dignified sixth-grade weapon refiner must be equipped with magical treasures from head to toe, even the strands of hair must be adorned with magical treasures.

Otherwise, wouldn't his mastery of weapon crafting have been for nothing?

This means he'll have to enter another period of accumulation, which will be a good opportunity to break through the sixth-rank barrier. He has plenty of time!
He immediately set up the Earth Fire Array with his rudimentary array formation skills.

Since there are no underground fire veins in the Jinyun Secret Realm, Gu Qing used the Ten Thousand Serpent Poison Flame as a substitute for the fire source. Although its fire is poisonous, it is not unusable for refining weapons; it just requires a little more effort.

Some of the gold and stone materials were placed in the fire array and slowly refined.

The main body has already escaped from the secret realm.

The entire secret realm was taken away by the Taotie leader, making a fortune. After a moment's thought, as Gu Qing flew towards the Great Snow Mountain, he took out an empty storage bag.

It contained some Enlightenment Tea leaves, a large amount of spiritual liquid essence, several giant spiritual crystals, and a few items that matched the list of the Nine Ancestors.

These were all items handed over to the authorities, so I didn't feel any particular emotional fluctuation.

Who told him to get more?

Thirty years of accumulation will eventually run out; the resources of the Jinyun Secret Realm are not so easily used up.

After returning to the forbidden area behind Baiyue Mountain.

Gu Qing took two storage bags and handed them to Ancestor Baohua. She gave the larger one to Ninth Ancestor, and the smaller one was Gu Qing's personal gift as a way of thanking him for his care during this time.

Once he has settled his personal affairs, he can use the connections of the three ancestors to temporarily leave the Southern Wilderness for a period of time to travel, and then return when the guardian of Yan Kingdom has determined the new candidate.

Let's lay low for a while.

This volume is nearing its end. This chapter serves as a summary of this phase. The entire universe will only focus on one or two places. Expanding on it completely would slow down the pace and wouldn't match the protagonist's growth rate.

The travelogue is relatively short, and I plan to combine it with the two realms chapter of Volume Six. Once the matter of the mountain gate is resolved, I will start a new volume.
