Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

He had no choice but to destroy the six realms unless absolutely necessary, as making enemies of the world was not a good option.

Moreover, after deducing that the ancient god possessed the power of a fourth-grade cultivator, this choice seemed more like suicide than a wise path.

The Magpie Bridge Festival continues.

Qingyu suggested.

"Aside from the Emperor's speech, the Pear Sound Fairy Garden is the most popular place during the Magpie Bridge Festival. Many beautiful fairies test the immortal lords there, but very few succeed."

"Gu Qing, would you like to give it a try?"

"I?"

Although he had heard of the Peking Opera for a long time, this was his first time seeing it in person. After clearing his mind, Gu Qing was not opposed to finding some fun.

He experienced a complete enlightenment in the Western Sea of ​​Cangwu.

Her personality is completely different from when she was practicing asceticism in the Baiyue Mountains in her early years; otherwise, she wouldn't have had a romantic affair with Yun Yuyan.
"You won't have to take responsibility, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyu, Luoheng, and Mo Ran all looked at him with surprised eyes, as if to say, "Really? You're so confident?"

Ao Miaoge's gaze was also somewhat strange, as if she were seeing Gu Qing for the first time, scrutinizing him from head to toe repeatedly.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? Seeking immortality is all about living a carefree life. Playing around is fine, but it's not worth it to spend your whole life on it."

Luo Heng: "Brother Gu's words are truly thought-provoking! I admire you, I admire you!"

Mo Ran: "This is how a man should act. Please, Brother Gu."

Qingyu: "It seems that Brother Gu is more talented than the three of us. I concede defeat."

Gu Qing: "You really are... Fellow Daoist Miaoge, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tsk, it's nothing, just remembering something an old friend said." Ao Miaoge shook her head, looking at the stage set up in the pear orchard in front of her, as if she saw that old friend, lost in memories.

This was an emotion that Ao Miaoge had never shown before; he had always regarded the White Dragon as a god of wealth.

Gu Qing suddenly became curious and asked, "What did your old friend say? Would you be willing to share it with us?"

"Very well, she was originally a mortal pearl diver."

"Living off the sea and living with fishermen, I unexpectedly embarked on the path of immortality. In just over a hundred years, my husband and son died. I was moved to write this, and I happened to overhear it."

"she says."

"A person's life is but a hundred years, like a mayfly's day. What good is immortality to me? It's just another cage to be caged."

Better to have two or three close friends, playing chess and drinking wine; to be happily married, hand in hand, enjoying a hundred years of glory, and returning to dust together.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

"This is a cultivator who has attained true freedom and enlightenment. His understanding is so profound that his achievements are bound to be extraordinary."

"Yes."

Gu Qing knew who Ao Miaoge was talking about.

In the coastal region of the Western Sea of ​​Cangwu, there is a force called the "Pearl-Gathering Sect," which is quite famous among the newly emerging forces in the past two thousand years. Unexpectedly, its leader has a past relationship with Ao Miaoge.

"What a pearl diver! Is there more to the story?"

Ao Miaoge nodded.

“At that time, I was still young and thought that a mortal cultivator who had only lived for a little over a hundred years was just spouting nonsense and pretending to be profound, so I made sarcastic remarks about her.”

I said: Since you do not seek immortality, why cultivate yourself? You might as well commit suicide by the sea and follow the souls of your deceased loved ones, so you will not have to suffer the pain of separation.

"But she said..."

"The desire to seek the truth will never change. Even if I waste my whole life, I will still strive for that sliver of divine secret. It is because I knew from childhood that life is like a game of chess, and once a move is made, there is no going back."

“I didn’t think much of it back then, I just thought the pearl divers’ costumes looked too realistic.”

"Even now, whenever I think about it, I feel a sense of endless joy."

"Brother Gu, have you gained any insights?"

When the question was suddenly directed at Gu Qing, he was immediately pulled from his thoughts. He had a thousand words he wanted to express, but in the end, he could only utter a few words: "Her path is not my path."

"Seeking longevity and also seeking freedom, not merely for the pleasures of romance, but because we are born as human beings, entangled in the seven emotions and six desires, and while we are immersed in them, our true nature remains unchanged, which is also the way to freedom."

These words were spoken to Ao Miaoge, but Qing Yu, Luo Heng, and Mo Ran all clapped.

"Good, well said."

"Without the seven emotions and six desires, what is the point of immortality? Brother Gu, you have grasped the profound truths of life at such a young age, and you deserve to live a carefree life."

The three of them clearly misunderstood, but the little white dragon understood and rolled his eyes, then whispered something to him.

"When we first met in the Western Sea, I thought you were the kind of ascetic you were, but now it seems you're just a sophist. These scoundrels, go play with them, I'm leaving now."

"Hey, you're not angry, are you?"

Ao Miaoge left in a hurry, and Gu Qing scratched his head, sensing that something was amiss.

Could she actually be interested in him?

This is the Third Prince of the Western Sea, a qualified successor to the Dragon King. Perhaps I'm being too narcissistic? Gu Qing fiercely cursed himself, ruling out this possibility.

Qingyu watched as Ao Miaoge suddenly left, and nudged Gu Qing, saying something.

"You've angered them, aren't you going to chase after them and explain?"

"No need, since we're already here, let's watch the show first."

"what ever."

Rolling mountain peaks and clear streams have always been a perfect match, no wonder men have loved landscape paintings since ancient times and love to travel and enjoy the scenery.

Cultural traditions are one aspect, but so is the desire to watch and the interest in watching.

The Pear Sound Fairy Garden is divided into four jade platforms, where the four fairies, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, are all unparalleled beauties from the heavenly palace.

One woman plays the zither with delicate hands, captivating the listener. With eyes closed and mind at ease, the listener feels as if they have entered a fairyland.

One of them is playing chess on the board, her figure graceful and elegant, and those sitting opposite her always look up at her.

One woman wields her brush with skill and elegance, lacking a touch of boldness and unrestraint, but brimming with feminine tenderness and affection, which is captivating.

Firstly, the brushstrokes are stunning; the scroll depicts the four fairies on the Jade Terrace, showcasing beautiful scenery. It is so vivid and lifelike that it seems real, and gazing at it, one feels as if they have become part of the painting.

Putting aside cultivation level, his mastery of the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting is absolutely the best Gu Qing has ever seen. There's a reason why the immortals live so long; his skills have already reached their pinnacle.

"Amazing, beautiful."

Luo Heng winked at Gu Qing.

"Isn't she captivating? I love the Fairy with the painted ring; look at those smiling, crescent-shaped eyes—I'm completely mesmerized!"

"I think the Fairy of the Harp and Strings is more beautiful."

"Nonsense, it's clear that Fairy Shuyi is superior."

Gu Qing disagreed with them.

"Qi Luo Fairy is undoubtedly number one."

Having joined the ranks of the Three Immortal Lords, Gu Qing, like a fervent fan, began arguing with everyone.

This is his carefree spirit; he can relax more freely than ever when it's time to unwind. He is proficient in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and with his captivating beauty, it's no wonder he has so many suitors.

There is a reason for this.

After the performance comes to an end, the main event is about to begin. The Four Fairies of the Pear Garden will set up four difficult problems for each Magpie Bridge Meeting. Whoever can solve them will have the opportunity to get close to them.

It has always been the most popular item on the Magpie Bridge Festival.

From celestial beings to heavenly soldiers and generals, everyone will participate. What if you manage to pass the test? Many people have this thought in mind, which is quite interesting.

When it comes to enjoyment, the Immortal Clan is absolutely trustworthy. (End of Chapter)
