Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Send Xiaobai out to keep a close eye on any changes in the progress of the transaction between the Holy Fire Sect and the Azure Demon Lord.

This will happen very soon.

Therefore, Gu Qing did not enter a deep seclusion.

Instead, he simply cultivated the Yin-Yang Mysterious Aperture at a rate of one per month, rapidly increasing his cultivation level. All seven hundred and twenty acupoints were transformed into Yin-Yang Mysterious Apertures, requiring only sixty years of honest cultivation.

As cultivation level increases, and the acupoints change.

The solid elixir coiled in the palm of the primordial spirit embryo in Gu Qing's Qi Sea underwent further changes, with the Yin and Yang energies circulating endlessly, causing Gu Qing's magical power to be in a constant state of transformation.

It gets stronger every day.

Having condensed the divine flower, he wielded these newly grown powers with unparalleled skill, manipulating them with masterful precision, as if commanding from a high vantage point.

He spent only a year in arduous training, and also took the opportunity to use the Enlightenment Tea to begin comprehending the Five Elements.

His magical powers underwent a phase of transformation.

The profound mystery of Yin and Yang in creation is thus revealed.

This day.

Gu Qing used his magic to nourish the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine within the Jinyun Secret Realm. When the Yin-Yang mysteries he infused it reached a certain point, one of the leaves developed sentience and naturally fell off.

Upon landing, it absorbed a large amount of the Daoist aura emitted by the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the shallow spiritual liquid on the ground, quickly transforming into a spirit of plants and trees.

"Ya ya~"

This is called "enlightenment," a true method of immortals, and a manifestation of magical power being transformed by creation.

In countless legends and travelogues, Taoist priests are said to have turned stones into gold and plants into spirits, enlightening dull scholars and awakening their spiritual potential—this is the kind of method they are referring to.

The sixth rank, lower level: the mysteries of Yin and Yang.

This is also one of the reasons why cultivators of the middle third rank are called "True Immortals." They possess divine abilities that can enlighten mortal beings. If they use their magical power to baptize their juniors, it can further enhance their aptitude and comprehension.

It is a great opportunity and a great fortune.

This is the real reason why so many outstanding talents from the immortal race emerge in succession, and why there is rarely a shortage of successors.

If that happens, it will be a big problem.

Even magical intervention can't save him; after all, cultivation depends on oneself. The effects of external forces are ultimately borrowed and have their limits.

The records of experience passed down by Zhurong.

Fifth-grade cultivators have a realm called "Dharma Possesses Primordial Spirit," which means that the supernatural powers and spells they cast must possess true intelligence, like living beings yet different from living beings.

Those who possess supernatural powers can break through to realms beyond perfection.

Embark on the path of legal innovation.

At this moment, the transformation of magical power, and the divine effect of the Yin-Yang creation's "enlightenment," is like a rehearsal, and also the foundation for future transformations.

Gu Qing couldn't help but marvel. Although this wasn't the first time he had been impressed by the mature system of the Four Nine Immortal Path, he was still amazed.

The experience of Nuwa creating humans is something not everyone can understand.

Looking at the tender leaf spirit at his feet, Gu Qing said.

"From now on, your name will be Ye Yi, and you will be responsible for taking care of the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine."

“Aiya~Aiya~”

"Gu Huo Niao!"

With a whoosh, a cloud of ghostly mist came from the horizon, staring in surprise at the leaf spirit, its natural instincts kicking in.

"What an adorable little spirit! I'll take care of it."

"Right on my mind."

With a flick of his sleeve, Gu Qing placed the Qingyun Tower, which he had refined in his early years, in the Jinyun Secret Realm, and the spiritual herbs within had long been transplanted.

It was also their residence in the secret realm.

"I remember teaching Ye Yi about cultivation and moral principles, and having him take care of the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine and the Enlightenment Tea Tree."

"understood."

As a minor incident occurred, Gu Qing returned to the outside world and was about to continue cultivating his profound abilities when Xiao Bai knocked on the door and entered, her little face very serious.

"Master, the Holy Fire Cult has agreed."

"Good, very good. I thought they would break the contract, but I didn't expect them to actually agree." It had been almost a year since then.

Gu Qing thought the plan had failed because the Holy Fire Sect was unwilling to hand over the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool, but who knew that it would suddenly start again at this moment.

After all, the Holy Ancestor Fire Pool was used to nurture the Holy Flame Sect's [Heavenly Sea Holy Flame], and it was guarded by a sixth-rank supreme sect leader and a sixth-rank superior sect leader. Even Gu Qing dared not venture deep into it to risk cultivating the [Crimson Emperor Talisman].

It's too dangerous; we can only wait for them to bring it out themselves.

However, the Holy Flame Sect faced pressure from Yunmeng Mountain from the outside and schemes from the old sect leader from the inside. It kept getting delayed, and even Qingmojun was about to give up, so they reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

The persecuted forces, such as the Talisman Tower and the Xuantian Sect, also contributed their efforts, jointly exerting pressure.

This led to this adventurous attempt.

Although equally dangerous, the number of strong individuals is limited.

"Xiao Bai, this time I'll use your identity to participate. Go to Yunmeng Mountain to deliver the message, lure the Immortal Mountain Ancestor into the arena, and catch him red-handed."

"it is good."

Gu Qing activated the Heavenly Shuttle Robe, transforming into Xiao Bai's appearance, but his divine sense detected a large number of cultivators outside, subtly surrounding him.

They immediately realized that external pressure had increased significantly.

This added another layer of surveillance to the Holy Fire Cult, making newcomers like Xiaobai, who had joined less than a century ago, a prime target for monitoring.

We still need to be careful. While sending a telepathic message to Xiaobai, Gu Qing pushed open the door and went out.

Then they saw Elder Dongfang walking over with a smile.

"Elder Bai, what brings you here?"

Gu Qing said calmly.

"With the Holy Church's plan imminent, we've come back to retrieve some items to use as our trump card."

Gu Qing held out her hand to show a few beads.

"This is the Thunderfire Pearl, a one-time use item. It is usually nurtured in the Earth Fire Chamber to absorb the power of the underground fire veins. When used in a critical moment, it is comparable to the full-force attack of a seventh-grade high-level True Person."

"If Elder Dongfang is interested, I can send you a few privately."

Justified and convincing.

"Is that so?"

Elder Dongfang stopped forcing a smile and instead issued a warning.

"During this critical period, leaving the base without authorization will be treated as treason. Elder Bai, do not make a mistake."

"This will be a one-time exception, and there will be no next time."

"Come back with me."

"Yes."

This Elder from the East was also a great cultivator, but his cultivation level was only at the lower level. His spiritual power was far inferior to Gu Qing's. However, he could easily conceal the aura of Xiaobai's true form from Gu Qing.

After the two left.

A large number of Holy Fire Cult cultivators flooded into Gu Qing's residence to search it. After discovering the Earth Fire Chamber and finding nothing else, they withdrew.

Skyfire City, a hidden underground place.

Gu Qing's mission was to guard a certain passage and immediately notify the rear if any abnormalities were found. He had just parted ways with Elder Dongfang not long ago.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Elder Dongfang felt slightly relieved. It was good that there were no problems, but he still couldn't completely trust them.

The fact that they entered Yunmeng Immortal Mountain meant that they knew something, so they gave the order.

"Continue to monitor Bai You, as well as those suspects Yao Wu and Lan Yue. We must not let our guard down."

"clear."

After several quiet days, Gu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the dark passage, suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful demonic aura arrived!

This means that the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool is about to make its debut.

The action is gone.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Gu Qing discovered the people secretly monitoring him. In the blink of an eye, their heads exploded, and they died silently.

Leaving behind a phantom avatar to continue guarding the area with the other visible Holy Cult cultivators, the true body, following the sensations of the Zhu Rong body, swiftly headed towards its destination. (End of Chapter)
