Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"Okay, I knew I was right about you."

The only things in the Medicine Department that could be coveted besides the Immortal Medicine Garden were nothing else. Since Gu Qing understood his meaning, there was no need to say more, said Immortal Lord Qinian.

"After a while, I will use my connections to transfer you from Shan Shou's side to the Immortal Garden to be in charge of managing the immortal herbs. There is one of them called the Ancient Divine Vine. Could you help me get a leaf from it?"

"Ancient Divine Vine?"

Gu Qing hadn't been wasting his time; he had read many books in the Immortal Treasury Pavilion, and this vine was recorded in several of the books about rare and precious medicinal herbs.

Legend has it that the Primordial Divine Vine was formed from the heart of the Ancient God Vine after its demise. A complete Vine can reverse the cycle of reincarnation, and even if one's soul dissipates between heaven and earth, it can be reborn from the dead, defying death and living a new life.

It is definitely a treasure kept at the bottom of the Heavenly Palace's coffers.

A single vine leaf may not have such miraculous effects, but it contains a vast amount of life essence and is only used to heal fatal wounds suffered by highly respected individuals in the Heavenly Palace.

The Immortal Realm has been peaceful for so long, and the Divine Vine has not appeared for millions of years. But this Immortal Lord of Prayer for a Good Harvest has come up with something big.

Furthermore, Gu Qing paid special attention to the situation in the Six Realms.

When he examined the world-destroying war launched by the demon race a million years ago, he saw a secret: the ancient god Teng died in this war, using his divine power to transform into divine vine chains, which eternally sealed several demon lords in the Fallen God Abyss.

The power of the god and the demon lord is obviously much stronger than the former, even stronger across dimensions. There must be other strange things about the god's fall. There are only two possibilities for why Qinian wants the vine leaf.

It could be used to save an important person, or perhaps for sealing off the Divine Vine.

If it were about saving someone, he could ask the Emperor for it; given his status, paying a certain price shouldn't be difficult.

Secret cooperation has a different meaning.

However, Gu Qing felt that the idea of ​​unsealing the Demon Lord was unreliable. After all, the books he saw in the Immortal Treasury Pavilion were also accessible to others. What if they were just unofficial histories written by later generations? His guess would then become a joke.

"What's in it for me?"

After thinking about it, Gu Qing felt that Qinian's plan had nothing to do with him; as long as he could get some benefits, that was enough.

"You are an ascendant, and your bloodline and aptitude are destined to prevent you from breaking through to the Immortal Lord realm. The first batch of ascendants thought the same thing. After countless years of development, a solution to this problem has been found."

"If you accomplish this for me, I will help you break through to the Immortal Lord realm."

Gu Qing rubbed his chin, feeling no temptation whatsoever, not even a spark of emotion, but then he thought about it again.

Immortal cultivation is inseparable from immortal spiritual energy, and most methods to break through shackles are related to this. Whether it is elixirs or secret techniques, abundant immortal spiritual energy is the foundation and meets its requirements.

"What about a more detailed plan?"

"You should do this...do this..."

When the two returned to the banquet, the pill-eating feast had already become lively and the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic. It can only be said that Mo Ran made a good start, and the pills he tested were not entirely absurd; there were quite a few practical ones.

There were also many pills that could accelerate cultivation and increase one's spiritual power, but after tasting them, Gu Qing could only describe them as indescribable—they were too rough.

Of course, the majority of them were still those fun pills, accounting for at least two-thirds of the total.

Following Mo Ran's "I Will Not Fall As Long as the Green Mountains Stand" elixir, someone else has developed the "Sky-Supporting White Pillar" elixir. To exaggerate even further, there is also the "I Will Not Let the Heavenly River Pour Out" elixir.

To put it more elegantly, ["Spring breeze and dew caress my face, I march straight into the golden palace to smash the yellow dragon"...etc.]

Gu Qing couldn't find any adjective to describe it other than "heaven-defying".

After the pill-eating banquet ended, he had seven or eight jade bottles in his arms. These were trial products given by the immortal lords. If the effects were good, they would refine them in large quantities and push them into the male immortal lord market.

Gu Qing had nothing to say about this.

Shan Hai Jie is truly a flower in a greenhouse; living too long isn't necessarily a good thing, as it has led to a somewhat distorted personality.

Compared to the Cangwu Realm, the Twelve Immortal Sects would likely all be reduced to demons.

"I can't control it, I can't control it..." Silently returning to the Cloud Tower Palace complex, Gu Qing noticed a figure sneaking around outside her courtyard, peering inside. Upon closer inspection, both of them were startled.

"The Medicine Immortal?"

"...Ha, you are...you are..."

"Gu Qing, an eighth-rank immortal physician."

"Ahem, of course I know you." The Medicine Immortal adjusted his bare-chested robe and approached.

"Were those puppets inside your doing?"

"Yes."

Gu Qing looked at this guy with suspicion. He used to have a lot of respect for the name of the emperor's grandson, but after getting to know him over the years, he realized that this guy was a joke. Apart from his outstanding talent, he was useless in other aspects.

Moreover, he was lecherous and dissolute, and because of his status and outstanding appearance, he had many romantic scandals with the fairies of the Heavenly Palace. Before becoming the Medicine Immortal, he was a tyrant in the Heavenly Palace and had a very bad reputation.

His true combat strength needs to be estimated even lower. Saying that he was on par with me was really overestimating him.

The Medicine Immortal looked around and, seeing that it was just the two of them, relaxed considerably.

"I am Qiyue. You may call me by my name in private. I love making friends. I am familiar with all the strange and wonderful people in the Heavenly Palace. Your puppetry is quite vivid and interesting, and it is also a strange art."

"From now on, you are my friend, Qiyue."

"..." Gu Qing's silence was deafening.

"so?"

His attitude was too cold. After Qi Yue realized that the title of Medicine Immortal Venerable was not useful, she felt no shame at all and actually started begging directly.

"Please, give me a few puppets."

"Don't worry, I will never let anyone else use it."

Gu Qing: "...! (◎_◎;)"

"I can buy it with Immortal Crystals, name your price."

He discovered that despite repeatedly underestimating the integrity of the celestial beings in the Heavenly Palace, he had still overestimated it; they simply didn't have any integrity whatsoever.

"My lord, please come in with me."

In the end, Gu Qing was defeated by the onslaught of Immortal Spirit Crystals. He was desperately in need of them, and Qi Yue was willing to buy them for one hundred crystals per body!

An eighth-grade immortal physician can only earn one after ten years of work, and he's giving one hundred! That's too much; the fairy puppet is not worth that much at all, so Gu Qing's defeat is only natural.

Gu Qing originally intended to test the effects of his magical powers on these puppets, and after enlightening and awakening their spirits, place them in the Jinyun Secret Realm to care for his spiritual herbs.

Upon arriving in the Mountain and Sea Realm, due to the great distance, and the fact that the Jinyun Secret Realm was located next to the Cangwu Realm, Taotie Shou could no longer open the secret realm's gate.

So taking care of daily life is also an experiment.

As for the puppet, it's fine to store it in the Void Ring.

Qi Yue clearly had other uses for it, so Gu Qing spent several days customizing a special version for him to enhance the user experience in certain aspects.

He sold ten bodies to him for the time being, earning a thousand immortal spirit crystals, which made him a fortune.

Qi Yue left in high spirits. If the effect is good, she will probably repurchase. Gu Qing felt that selling this at the Food Pill Banquet would be very popular, but if it spreads, it will definitely ruin her reputation.

"One thousand immortal spirit crystals is enough for me."

"Qi Yue is quite wealthy; one client is enough to support me. There's no need to cause any more trouble." (End of Chapter)
