Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

After officially going into seclusion, the first thing Gu Qing did was to refine the Soul Infant Fruit and condense the Divine Flower, one of the Three Flowers.

The three flowers converge at the top: essence is the jade flower, qi is the golden flower, and spirit is the nine flowers, also known as the three flowers of heaven, earth, and man.

In essence, the inner meaning of the three flowers is 'three yangs', that is, yang within yin, yang within yang, and yang within yin and yang.

And the top is a tripod.

Its meaning is to reform the old and establish the new, to be reborn and transformed, and to reach a state of enlightenment, where the body is radiant and shines with brilliance.

Simply put, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top represents cultivating to the point of perfect Yang, using the Yang Cauldron to conceive the Golden Elixir, thus attaining longevity.

Gu Qing wanted to develop ahead of time.

He needed to use the shell of the Soul Infant Fruit to nurture the Three Flower God and begin to form the Divine Lotus. It was not easy, but he was also very confident, which came from his solid foundation.

Even if we don't say that such arrogance is unprecedented or unparalleled, it still belongs to the top tier.

"The Nine-Nine Mysterious Technique contains a method for cultivating the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. Give it a try."

Sink your mind completely into your body.

By simultaneously engaging the upper and middle dantian, the path of refining the spirit not only tempers the primordial spirit and profound embryo, but also emphasizes the continuous transformation of divine consciousness.

The "Red Sun Divine Demon Diagram" technique only has six levels. Gu Qing cultivated it to the fifth level, and the quality of his divine sense underwent multiple transformations, making it completely different.

A single thought can shatter a boulder weighing a thousand pounds.

This power comes from the "Red Sun God and Demon," which is essentially transformed from the divine consciousness of the Golden Crow that he initially cultivated. It is all his own divine power.

For the Flower of God to bloom, its power must be concentrated in one place and perfectly integrated.

In this respect, Gu Qing has another unique advantage.

That is, the cultivation techniques he uses are all derived from burning his life force. Although he cannot directly achieve perfection, his cultivation speed still surpasses that of many people, and he can comprehend them more easily.

A thorough grasp of the cultivation technique can also increase the success rate of condensing the Three Flowers.

A massive amount of divine consciousness was peeled away from the "Crimson Sun God and Demon" like golden threads.

Walking along the marrow path, passing the jade pillow, the waterfall plunges three thousand feet.

Walking through the Nine Bends and passing through the Tiger Pass, the Nine-Nine Mysterious Female attains the Dao and ascends.

The primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes, radiating a three-foot-long divine light of crimson gold. Golden threads entered its body, gradually carving the image of the Crimson Sun Demon God on its back.

Meanwhile, the true form of the gods and demons in the Niwan Palace gradually disappeared.

All the power flowed into the primordial spirit embryo. Gu Qing took out the Heavenly Heart Liquid and swallowed five drops in one go. This newly added purifying power quickly calmed down the restless divine power.

The thought became more and more refined, and a delicate fragrance wafted out.

A lotus flower was blooming on the top of Xuan Tai's head. It was black and white in color and had nine petals. It was the divine flower known as the "Nine Flowers".

With the appearance of this flower, Gu Qing's control over his body increased dramatically.

Even the speed at which it absorbs Yin and Yang power and nurtures the Yin and Yang mystic apertures has accelerated once again.

The appearance of the divine flower made it easier and more comfortable for him to control the essence and qi.

"It's done."

After successfully condensing, the divine lotus returned to the Niwan Palace, quietly rotating. The Taotie head was the first to rush up and stay in the center, accepting the nourishment of the divine flower with peace of mind.

Gu Qing did some quick calculations and realized that he had been in seclusion for three years.

Immersed in cultivation, they completely fail to notice the passage of time. This is the real reason why the higher a cultivator's level, the longer their seclusion lasts.

Each upgrade becomes increasingly difficult and takes more time.

"I wonder if I can break through to the fifth rank before I turn five hundred."

With a sigh in his heart, Gu Qing meditated for three days.

He then continued to carry out the predetermined goal, and in a flash opened the gate to the Jinyun Secret Realm, arriving at the Artifact Ancestor Tower.

This time, not only Xiaobai and Guhuoniao, but also Xiaobashe woke up. Its size grew through the cycle of eating and sleeping, and its size was already like a mountain.

These ancient ferocious beasts follow the path of bloodline and physical body, and do not cultivate the Four Nine Immortal Paths. Their strength can only be roughly sensed, but they should be able to withstand the combat power of a seventh-grade True Person.

"Your cultivation has progressed well this period. Even the Guhuoniao has broken through to the lower seventh rank. Not bad, not bad." He was placed in the Jinyun Secret Realm for forced seclusion.

Little White and Bashe didn't feel anything, and were even happy about it, but Guhuoniao was different. She was more intelligent and could hardly sit still, so she couldn't help but say something.

"I couldn't help you before, but now that I'm a real person, let us out to have some fun, it's so stuffy in here."

"stuffy?"

Gu Qing remained silent.

"If I had a secluded place like the Jinyun Secret Realm when I was cultivating, I would have stayed there until the end of time and never wanted to come out."

"this………"

However, Gu Qing changed the subject.

"You've been here quite a while, so it's fine to go out and take care of something."

"it is good."

Gu Qing transmitted the information about Yunmengze into a jade slip containing his divine consciousness and gave it to Guhuoniao. He also lent her the Heavenly Shuttle Robe for the time being.

"You and Xiaobai go and help me investigate the Holy Fire Cult."

"Keep an eye out for any traces of demonic cultivators. We're not the only investigators; make a note of them too, and be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

The Guhuoniao patted its bouncy chest, completely satisfied.

After letting the two out and feeding the Bashe snake, Gu Qing entered the Ancestral Pagoda.

The infrastructure here is ideal for crafting.

The tower's ability to achieve twice the result with half the effort was likely due to the arrangement of the Jinyun Weapon Ancestor. His breakthrough in weapon crafting skills was also thanks to this tower.

The purpose of this visit is to enhance Chongshan Seal.

Upgrading to a superior-grade magic weapon should be within easy reach, but it's also possible to jump directly to the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

The foundation was laid too well, based on the treasures of Chongshan.

Having already advanced once after merging with the mountain's veins, this time, merging with the even more precious Earth Vein Heart, it will have the potential to advance to a Heavenly Treasure.

"let's start."

He unleashed the True Flame of Zhurong into the ninth level of the weapon-refining tower, causing the temperature to rise sharply.

The shape of the Earth's Core is that of a large, earth-yellow heart.

It is itself a crystal formed by the concentrated power of the earth's veins.

It possesses countless earth-elemental principles, making it even more powerful than the Five Elements Wheel.

This is destined to be a long process of treasure hunting.

Unlike his rapid actions with the Mountain Moving Apes, Gu Qing strives to perfect every step, prioritizing quality over speed.

And so it went, three years after three years.

Six years had passed by the time the heart of the earth veins was completely integrated into the Chongshan Seal, and nine years had passed since then.

The shape of the Chongshan Seal has changed to some extent. After merging with the heart of the earth veins, it has reached the level of a superior magic treasure as expected.

But it's far from over; it will take another twenty or thirty years of trials and tribulations.

After being nurtured in the Ancestral Pagoda, Gu Qing left the Jinyun Secret Realm.

Return to the temporary cave dwelling rented by Lingyunfang.

There were many jade slips delivered by the Guhuoniao (a mythical bird) at the entrance, containing information gathered during this period.

After a brief look, Gu Qing had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Next, the most time-consuming task will be to refine the fifth-grade treasure medicine, the Myriad Poison Fruit, to help the Myriad Serpents' Poison Flame advance, and at the same time cultivate a physique that is immune to all poisons.

He still needed to manipulate the Zhurong True Flame to completely devour the poisonous flames using the Devouring Technique, transforming them into his mastery of fire and poison, taking the first and most important step towards the Great Dao. (End of Chapter)
