Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

A cultivation level at the mid-sixth rank requires a massive amount of Phoenix Undying Qi. The Phoenix Blood Pool is very important, as the immortal spiritual energy that can be exchanged for Undying Qi is the cultivation resource he urgently needs.

What place could be more suitable than the Immortal Medicine Garden? It's full of cultivation resources.

Therefore, returning to the Heavenly Palace is an excellent route.

After completing his cultivation at the middle level of the sixth rank step by step, he also made many preparations for the upper level of the sixth rank, governing the five elements. The flames of the metal and wood elements are the best manifestation of his mastery of the corresponding laws.

We also need to reinforce both the water and soil.

The best option is to find a treasure of the same type, refine the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, and then completely devour it, integrating it into the five internal organs to form an inner Five Elements Revolving Wheel.

Inscribing array patterns within his body would not only greatly enhance his physique but also allow him to smoothly master the Five Elements Laws.

And then, at the sixth rank, the Three Treasures Bloom.

He had already cultivated two of the three flowers at the top of his head, and with his advancement in cultivation and transformation of magical power, the golden flower of qi could naturally condense.

Therefore, this level of achievement is not difficult for him.

Having resolved the issues related to the water and earth elements, he will quickly complete the cultivation steps for the sixth rank and arrive at the threshold of the fifth rank Dao Lord.

"That's the benefit of having plenty of experience!"

Gu Qing was filled with emotion. On his way back to the Heavenly Palace, he was estimating the time. This breakthrough seemed to have happened very quickly, but in fact, seven years had already passed.

It only took seventeen years to break through to the sixth rank, which was already very fast. In the Immortal Realm, where the concept of time is even more superficial, this breakthrough was no different from taking a nap.

It's incredibly fast.

The only regret is that his lifespan is stuck at 9999 years, without any change. Although the breakthrough brought a surge in strength, it did not increase his life essence, but he did not break through to a lifespan of ten thousand years.

It is evident that the limit of lifespan at the sixth rank is this standard, and it will only continue to increase after breaking through to the fifth rank.

This was quite a pity for Gu Qing.

More than half a month later, Gu Qing successfully returned to the Heavenly Palace, retrieved the memories from the immortal clone, formatted them, and put them back into a deep sleep using a secret technique. His main body replaced the clone, as if he had never left.

Continue working at the Immortal Medicine Garden.

The clone's memories were very calm; nothing had happened, and Immortal Lord Qinian had not contacted him.

However, Qingyu, Luoheng, and Mo Ran, whom he met at the alchemy banquet, contacted him repeatedly, inviting him to participate in banquets held in various parts of the Heavenly Palace.

All the clones declined, just like Gu Qing's original design, except for one person.

Medicine Immortal Venerable, Qi Yue...

The immortals' lazy lifestyle and lack of understanding of cultivation principles led to their perceptions being on completely different levels from Gu Qing's.

Given that the techniques of Cangwu can be considered exquisite.

Even Qi Yue couldn't see through the Situ family's famous supernatural ability, [Avatar]. On his very first day back, this guy started pestering him.

"Gu Qing, please say yes."

"Just this once, believe me, I never lie."

Gu Qing: "..."

The gist of the matter is this: during his absence, the puppets broke down for some reason, and his clones became entangled with them.

This visit from Qi Yue appeared to be her first, but in reality, she had been pestering him for a long time.

"No, those puppets are essentially made of metal. How did you break them?"

Immortal Venerable Qiyue chuckled and took out several empty pill bottles to show him.

Gu Qing's lips twitched. If he wasn't mistaken, that was the new elixir launched by the sages at the Pill-Eating Banquet. This person knew how to play the game.

"Two hundred immortal spirit crystals for one body, please."

"Ugh……"

Gu Qing sighed.

“Qiyue, it’s not that I’m stingy, but these puppets have been imbued with spirit by creation, and over time they will develop intelligence, just like real living beings. What you’re doing is tantamount to killing them.”

"A puppet with a spirit?" Qi Yue was taken aback. He had never heard Gu Qing mention it, so he had no reason to feel sorry for it. He would just do whatever he wanted.

"If you are willing to infuse them with the energy of immortality, they will become true sentient beings in less than three years."

"This……"

Qi Yue didn't quite believe that Gu Qing had such abilities.

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Then I'll sell you ten more. Try them out yourself when you get back. Remember... puppets with spirits are real living beings with their own personalities and thoughts. Don't hurt them."

"I see."

Gu Qing didn't care about the life or death of these puppets; he was just casually enlightening them. His main purpose was to test Qi Yue's personality and incidentally improve his reputation in Qi Yue's eyes.

The Immortal Spirit Herb Garden is indeed a source of resources, and these Immortal Spirit Crystals can also be used to exchange for Phoenix Undying Qi; it's always good to earn more.

There are still many vacancies.

After being warned by Gu Qing, Qi Yue returned home with a heavy heart after receiving ten new fairy puppets.

Following his original rhythm, Gu Qing began to feed the scraps of those immortal herbs to the Phoenix Blood Pool to repair himself. The continuous flow of Phoenix Undying Qi allowed him to maintain an extremely high cultivation speed.

Two thousand Immortal Spirit Crystals would be enough for him to use for several years. Once he gets feedback from Qi Yue, he can make another profit, and that should be about it.

The Heavenly Divine Power - Nine Revolutions Nirvana - grants rapid advancement.

This also led to Gu Qing's remarkable progress in his Nirvana Immortal Body. Even though it already had a rudimentary form, his immortal body was fully formed before the combined refinement of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends was completed.

Forging it early has many advantages. After all, there are different levels of immortal bodies. The Nirvana Immortal Body is primarily for survival due to its immortality, but its combat strength is relatively average.

The benefits of combining the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends will continue to raise the upper limit of the Nirvana Immortal Body.

The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Divine Power and the Nirvana Immortal Body complement each other.

Gu Qing could even undergo a proactive rebirth, using his advanced vision and skills to rebuild his foundation and increase his strength.

The combined Nirvana mode requires no starting from scratch and no abandonment of everything existing; it only grows stronger through continuous Nirvana.

This is the cultivation method of the Phoenix Clan, which enhances the three basic powers of essence, energy, and spirit. It is different from the cultivation method of the Four Nine Immortal Path, but a strong foundation of the three treasures often represents the strength of a cultivator.

In terms of effect, it can achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.

“Rebirth and Nirvana practice are two different concepts.”

"The Immortal Body has two effects, but the Nirvana Divine Power only has the cultivation aspect."

Once Gu Qing finishes the first two steps of the Heavenly Gang Reincarnation Realm cultivation, he will try to use the Nirvana cultivation method to improve his base of essence, energy, and spirit. He can also change his auxiliary cultivation method to the Phoenix Clan's cultivation method.

After all, he is now considered one-third of an auspicious beast, so it's only right that he is favored by fortune, right?

Time flies like an arrow, vanishing without a trace.

Three years later.

Before the arrival of Immortal Venerable Qiyue, Gu Qing underwent another change, and the long-awaited [Pure Nirvana Dao Heart] was truly cultivated.

This is a special ability similar to a talent.

It belongs to the same type as well-known talents such as [Sword Heart Clarity], [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart], and [Dustless Dao Heart].

Its main effect is that one is immune to inner demons and one's Daoist heart remains steadfast.

It has the miraculous effect of purifying demonic thoughts and can subtly resonate with the power of saintly virtue; the two are perfectly compatible.

In addition, the Pure Nirvana Dao Heart can help Gu Qing communicate with the Heavenly Heart.

This is inextricably linked to the wondrous Heavenly Treasure [Heavenly Heart Lamp] that nurtured it. After possessing this Dao Heart, Gu Qing felt extremely strange.

Being unafraid of inner demons is already incredibly powerful. The effect of communicating with the will of Heaven is no different from communicating with the Dao of Heaven, except that the two are not on equal footing.

It's more like helping Gu Qing perceive the rules governing the operation of the Heavenly Dao. These rules are not substantial natural laws, but rather the order and principles governing the operation.

How to do it, why to do it, and the results... etc.

It is ethereal and cannot bring tangible power, but it can increase Gu Qing's wisdom, allowing him to learn the wisdom of the Heavenly Dao's operation and understand the essence of the Heavenly Dao's order! (End of this chapter)
