Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 291 The Troubles Resurface
"Yu Yan should have told you about the conflict between the Fire Faction and the Star Faction, right?"

"Said."

"Internal conflicts should be determined by the strength of the younger generation, but my Fire Sect only has the eldest daughter, Yun Shu, who is capable. She is not even a hundred years old yet, but she has already broken through to the seventh rank. She will have a bright future."

"Among the younger generation of the Starry Sky Sect, there are three juniors who can be called Dao Seeds."

"Although he is older, over two hundred years old, his cultivation has reached the upper level of the seventh rank. He will definitely break through to the sixth rank before he turns a thousand. If this trend continues, the number of great cultivators in the Starry Sky Sect will double in less than five hundred years."

The old scorching sun ancestor's statement was somewhat exaggerated. Breaking through to the middle third grade is not that easy. Potential is just potential; one also needs opportunities and sufficient resources to break through.

Given the current scale of the Yun clan, it is impossible for them to supply three seeds for breakthroughs simultaneously.

Adding to the ordeal of the lightning tribulation, it's already lucky to escape even one out of three.

If you're unlucky, you won't get a single spot.

The Scorching Sun Ancestor only mentioned the worst-case scenario, but the potential shown by the Starry Sky Sect allowed them to hold great power within the clan.

Gu Qing wanted to help, but he couldn't take the place of the Fire Faction in the battle.

Even if he wins the family competition, it doesn't prove anything.

Unless he marries Yun Yuyan as soon as possible and becomes a member of the Yun clan.

However... though he said that, in reality, Gu Qing wanted to take the person away from the Yun clan. Getting married in the Beidou Islands would be like marrying into the family, since he was from the Southern Wilderness and would have to leave sooner or later; he couldn't possibly settle down there.

Headache.

However, the Old Ancestor of the Scorching Sun did not want to offend the Gao family, so he was thinking of a way to have his cake and eat it too.

If you're ruthless enough, you could even run away after deceiving someone.

After discussing with Ancestor Zhuo Ri for more than half an hour, covering all aspects, Gu Qing left the small house with a heavy heart.

outside.

Yun Yuyan was waiting, and when she saw Gu Qing come out, she quickly came up to him and asked softly.

"Is it going well?"

Gu Qing's mood improved, and he lightly patted her shapely buttocks.

"That's it."

“Don’t mess around…”

They flirted and teased each other all the way. On the way back to Huorongyuan, after leaving the vicinity of the Yun Clan Ancestral Hall, Gu Qing said...

"Yu Yan, what do you think of the Yun family?"

The other party was stunned.

"Why do you ask."

"Tell me about it."

"It's alright... I've benefited a lot since my sister and brother-in-law got married, and my cultivation is much faster than before."

Gu Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is your brother-in-law the eldest son of the previous generation of the main branch?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious why your sister married him."

Yun Yuyan thought for a moment and then explained.

"Although we share the same surname, we are already beyond the fifth degree of kinship. My sister and I are only from a collateral branch of the Yun clan. Back then, during the aptitude test, my sister was said to be pregnant with the [True Flame Holy Embryo Body], which was said to be able to give birth to offspring with extraordinary talents."

"The Ancestor Zhuo Ri then betrothed her to his brother-in-law. Yun Shu was born with the [Zhu Rong Profound Body]. If the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool were still here, she would definitely be able to cultivate the true Zhu Rong Dao Body."

In terms of physical constitution, the classification of levels is very simple.

Spiritual body, precious body, mysterious body, Dao body.

Yun Shu's physique is one level weaker than Zhu Rong's, so it is called the Xuan physique.

Physical advancement, apart from special bloodline techniques, only occurs when advancing to a higher realm.

Gu Qing embarked on this path because of the special artifact, the Fire Marrow Bracelet.

After being strengthened in many ways, it gradually transformed from the innate fire spirit body into the Thousand Flame Profound Body of today, and is now transforming into the Fire Ancestor Dao Body (Zhu Rong Body).

The main contributor to this process was the Phoenix Blood Pool. As Gu Qing nurtured this immortal artifact with the Phoenix Blood Secret Technique, a layer of true phoenix blood gradually appeared at the bottom, even though it was all extracted from subspecies of flying birds.

However, it could also help Gu Qing improve his physique, but he hadn't figured out how to use it yet. If he were to undergo a blood transfusion and marrow transformation, his physique would possess some of the characteristics of a phoenix, or he could use it as a foundation to refine a phoenix magic weapon, which could then be fed to Xiao Bai to enhance her strength.

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Qing tentatively asked.

"So, you sisters are just tools to strengthen the Fire Faction?"

Yun Yuyan rolled her eyes at Gu Qing.

"Don't say such harsh things. Your brother-in-law is very good to your sister, and Yun Shu and Erlang are also very filial."

"But if you consider her age, your sister got married before she was seventy, which is the golden age for cultivation. If you really care about her, you shouldn't have had children so early. Now her strength is probably not ideal."

"you……"

Yun Yuyan was angry. She felt that Gu Qing had been speaking ill of the Yun clan ever since he came out from the Scorching Sun Ancestor, which was very strange.

Just as she was about to argue, several members of the Yun clan walked towards her.

He quickly whispered.

"Ignore the Starry Sky Sect members."

Gu Qing responded verbally, but his eyes were fixed on the three people walking together. They were all under a hundred years old and their cultivation levels were fluctuating around the eighth rank. However, their star-level magical power was truly something Gu Qing envied.

"Oh, isn't this Sister Yuyan, who caused her husband's death on their wedding night? It's only been a few years and she's already found another short-lived man."

"Hahaha, Brother Yue, you're mistaken."

"As a newlywed, I naturally yearn for pleasure day and night, and......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was horrified to find that he couldn't move his body at all, and looked at Gu Qing and Yun Yuyan in horror.

"That's really awful."

Gu Qing walked gracefully to them and shook her head regretfully.

"Some people die young because their lives are short."

"Some people die young because of bad breath."

"You all say that life is unpredictable, which makes one sigh with regret."

He patted the middle person on the shoulder, but heard the sound of bones breaking, and tears streamed down his face.

These greenhouse flowers were already exhausted from just enduring Gu Qing's fierce aura, let alone being oppressed like this.

Yun Yuyan quickly came over and whispered.

"Don't go too far. The person in the middle is called Yun Ziyue, and she is the great-grandson of the Star-Picking Ancestor."

"You're too soft-hearted."

Gu Qing had no intention of letting them go. During his discussion with the Scorching Sun Ancestor, there was a crucial matter.

stir up trouble!

No matter what, Gu Qing cannot participate in the clan's grand competition, even if he becomes a son-in-law; an outsider is always an outsider.

However, if he causes trouble, Gu Qing can severely injure three Dao Seeds of the Starry Sky Sect, making them unable to defeat Yun Shu in the clan's grand competition.

This requires a certain skill, and Gu Qing is determined to gain some benefits for herself.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing completely shattered the bones of these young people's limbs. To recover, they would need a seventh-grade spiritual pill like the Bone Regeneration Pill.

That was quite a heavy blow.

With another wave of his sleeve, the secrets within were revealed, and the three spoiled brats lay sprawled on the ground, their faces streaked with snot and tears, their wails echoing throughout the entire arena.

Yun Yuyan panicked a little.

"You're being too impulsive. Come with me to the port, and I'll take you away."

"Don't worry, Ancestor Zhuo Ri is watching."

Not quite understanding Gu Qing's meaning, Yun Ziyue screamed in pain, her mind numb.

"You scum, how dare you treat me like this! Ancestor Xuanzu will not let you get away with this!"

"Brother... help me! Someone's trying to kill me."

"Hahahahahaha."

This time, it was Gu Qing's turn to laugh wildly. So satisfying!
