Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"But the Lord of the Azure Palace accumulated good deeds for twenty years, using medicine to save people, quell wars, relieve all suffering, and ascend to immortality?"

Gu Qing was suspicious, but lowered her head and agreed.

The immortal laughed.

"This is the Book of Merits and Virtues, which can observe the good deeds and hidden virtues of those who ascend to immortality in the mortal world, so that we can assign the positions that the ascended ones should hold in the celestial realm."

"I see, I didn't know..."

"Don't worry."

He introduced himself.

"My name is Qinian. You may call me Immortal Lord Qinian. I have long since been promoted to First-Class Immortal Lord and have served on the Ascension Platform for 100,000 years."

"?"

Gu Qing remained noncommittal. To him, these 100,000 years seemed particularly unreal. How could someone who had lived for so long be so weak?

He used his divine sense to perceive the other party but they didn't notice. Furthermore, his previous judgment that the Immortal Lords of the Mountain and Sea Realm were comparable to sixth-grade cultivators was actually an exaggeration.

Not only are they ignorant of the laws and principles, but the physical strength of the immortal bloodline, apart from longevity, is not high; it can even be described as weak, completely inferior to Gu Qing.

Now, even his divine sense is far inferior to his; only his ability to control magic power, borrowing the substantial destructive force formed by the divinely bestowed laws and principles, is estimated to be sufficient.

A first-class immortal lord is already the strongest among immortal lords.

Compared to his own strength at the lower sixth rank, he could suppress him with a flick of his wrist!

If you don't cultivate your essence, energy, and spirit, and just wait for the Heavenly Dao to feed you, isn't that just a joke?

After careful consideration, he came to a new understanding of these immortal lords: their destructive power and cultivation level in the Qi Dao might be able to barely keep up with the cultivators of Cangwu, but they were not good at the Divine and Spirit Dao.

The Immortal Lord of Prayer for a Good Harvest is at the same level as a sixth-grade upper-level cultivator of the Four-Nine Immortal Path, and his actual strength is at most comparable to that of a mid-level cultivator. It is just unknown how strong the Immortal Venerable is.

If he had no opponent who could withstand even a single blow, he could really go all out...

"Those who ascend from the lower realm are generally mortals who have reached immortality. They are born with deficiencies, and the realm of true immortals is the limit. They are usually assigned to various places in the immortal realm as heavenly soldiers."

"When cultivators ascend to immortality, although their bloodline from the immortal race is inferior, they know more and are assigned better positions."

After a long explanation, Gu Qing finally understood what Immortal Lord Qinian meant.

"so?"

"There is still a vacancy at the position of Medicine Immortal Venerable in Yunlou Palace. Would you be willing to serve as an eighth-rank medical official?"

"Gu Qing takes office."

"Very good, let's go then. I'll show you around to familiarize you with the environment. These are the rules of the Heavenly Palace, so memorize them as soon as possible. These are also the major powers in the Immortal Realm, so you need to memorize them as well. As for the precautions for the Physician Immortal rank, the Medicine Immortal Venerable will explain them to you when you get to him."

After receiving the two jade slips, Gu Qing examined them briefly by placing them between his eyebrows and memorized them completely.

The assignment by the Immortal Lord of Prayer for Good Harvests was exactly what he wanted. It would be a good opportunity to see what kind of strength the Immortal Venerable possessed, and also to better understand his own position.

The Immortal Realm is not just this one place. The Heavenly Palace is merely the central authority of the Emperor's rule, and nominally the entire Immortal Realm is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace.

It is roughly divided into seven major areas.

Heavenly Palace, North Sea, Divine Beast Mountain, Fallen God Gorge, Three Great Dao Continents, Heaven Beyond Heaven - Divine Lord Palace, Ancient Battlefield.

Both the Fallen God Gorge and the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Lord are forbidden areas.

The former is the place where the strongest beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Ancient Gods, transformed into beings like the Lords of the Great Dao who were born one after another after the creation of the world, and who innately mastered a Great Dao.

His lifespan is eternal, and his divine power is immortal.

But just as Gu Qing had wondered before, this bestowal was too generous, and the ancient gods all possessed emotions and desires, and were not cold, mechanical beings or symbols of some kind of Dao.

This led to numerous instances of ancient gods defying the workings of the Great Dao through force. When they did too much, even the Heavenly Dao would regret it. In Cangwu, the Heavenly Dao slew a dragon to suppress the dragon race's dominance.

In the realm of mountains and seas, there are also those who slay gods through the Heavenly Dao, and they even call the Heavenly Dao "Father God"... which is also reasonable. In addition, the Fallen God Ravine also seals many Venerables of the Demon Realm, making it a forbidden area for the Immortal Clan, and it is strictly guarded by the Heavenly Army.

The Heavenly Outer Heaven - Divine Lord Palace is the residence of the last ancient god. Gu Qing's previous understanding of the Six Realms in the lower realm, which considered the Heavenly Outer Heaven as one realm, was actually inappropriate.

It is connected to the celestial realm and communicates with the divine realm, serving as a transit point, accessible only to gods.

Gu Qing was very interested in this. The environment in the Immortal Realm was already much better than that of Baiyue Mountain. Wouldn't the God Realm be even more suitable for cultivation? He would have to go and take a look if he had the chance.

The Three Great Continents feel like land swallowed up by the human world. The immortals have multiplied and thrived here for countless years. The number of natural deaths is very small, and as the population has grown, they have mostly settled here.

The remaining areas will not be discussed for the time being.

In short, Gu Qing felt that he had a lot of room to maneuver and many benefits to gain.

"arrive."

Gu Qing followed the direction of Qinian's gaze and saw that the three golden characters of Yunlou Palace exuded an ethereal aura and shone brightly.

This is a palace complex with twelve main halls and thirty-six smaller halls, and behind it is an orchard and medicinal herb field, which is very vast.

The central hall, named "Heavenly Medicine Hall," is the residence and office of the Medicine Immortal. Gu Qing's eyes were fixed on the medicinal fields and orchards, where the aroma of herbs was so strong that it felt like being immersed in them.

I felt refreshed, both physically and mentally.

A first-rate treasure land.

Immortal Lord Prayer said, "I'll take you to report for duty. The Medicine Department is usually quite quiet, and few immortals need to come here specifically for treatment. In a while, I'll take you around the Heavenly Palace."

"The four fairies of Pear Sound Garden, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, are truly exquisite!"

"Let me show you something new."

Gu Qing remained outwardly calm, responding mechanically, but inwardly he knew that this Immortal Lord of Prayer for a Good Year must have ulterior motives. Considering that he had just ascended and, apart from having a decent resume, was not worth scheming against.

So the target... should be this pharmacy.

It's very easy to guess.

Upon entering the Heavenly Medicine Hall, the so-called Medicine Immortal was embracing and kissing the Panlong Pillar, uttering vulgarities.

"My little beauty, let this immortal lord give you a kiss~"

Gu Qing: "..."

Qinian: "Ahem, Your Excellency, Qinian has come with the newly ascended Immortal Clan to assume office."

At this awkward moment, the Medicine Immortal Venerable didn't care at all, and waved his hand without even looking at the Book of Merits and Virtues.

"Come on, come on. Go help out at Shanshou's place. Go away, don't bother me while I'm drinking."

"Yes."

Qi Nian bowed respectfully, then pulled Gu Qing back out. He said, "The Medicine Immortal is the grandson of the Emperor. He was recently promoted to Immortal Venerable. The Medicine Department has not been busy, so he has developed a personality that says whatever comes to mind."

"Ah."

Gu Qing didn't care at all; did he really think he was there to do something?

What he does on mortals isn't really medical skill; it's just a little magic to cleanse them, and all their illnesses disappear, even their disabilities are cured.

Medical skills? He really doesn't!
The immortals are known for their longevity. Minor illnesses and pains don't need treatment, nor do major illnesses and injuries. They just wait to die. Besides, immortals can get sick? They must be suffering from strange and unusual injuries or poisons.

It has little to do with him.

As for Shan Shou, whom the Medicine Immortal Venerable mentioned, he was also a first-class immortal lord, considered the head of the Medicine Department and the true person in charge.

"Lord of the Azure Palace, Gu Qing, you shall serve here as an eighth-rank immortal physician." (End of Chapter)
