Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Jiu Xi nodded, and a storage ring appeared in his hand. He had taken it from Lei Zun when the Great Black Heaven Technique was broken.

Inside were naturally the elixirs and several magical artifacts brought with them to support Beihai this time.

"There's no time to lose, let's retreat."

With the help of a treasure mirror belonging to the Void Attribute, the two successfully escaped.

Eye of the North Sea.

The once arrogant and unruly Lord Lei was now clutching his hand with a livid face, looking as if he had injured his wrist. In reality, he was too embarrassed to admit that important military supplies had been stolen.

You can hide it for a while, but not forever.

So he decided to take a portion of his private savings and convert it into new military supplies.

As for the issue of the species not being the same as those selected by the aquarium, he could only say that they were mistaken; these were the ones they originally brought.

Not only Gu Qing, but Hong Yuan also found this difficult to handle.

But as long as it works, there's no need to pursue the matter of treating the injured aquatic warriors.

Give us some face, and we'll all be fine.

The ambush caused Lei Zun to lose face, and he spent the rest of the way berating the collapsing Heavenly Army. There was nothing anyone could do about it.

Hongyuan even privately contacted Ao Miaoge, hoping she could return to the Heavenly Palace and request another batch of reinforcements.

However, at this moment, Lei Zun became extremely sensitive and was discovered!

Thus began the journey to the Dragon Palace of the North Sea.

Neither of them got along well.

…………

…………

In front of the Dragon Palace of Beihai.

"Stop laughing, what's so funny?"

Gu Qing was completely bewildered by what Ao Miaoge had said, muttering to herself.

"No, why are you being so domineering? What's wrong with me having a slight smile on my face when I'm in a good mood?! It's not like I'm laughing at you."

Ao Miaoge rolled her eyes at him and led the way on her own.

After a long and tiring journey, Lei Zun went to see the North Sea Dragon King. The Heavenly Army was settled in the Water Tribe's camp. Gu Qing's accommodation was personally arranged by Ao Miaoge. Since it was just the two of them, they were less cautious in their conversation.

"This series of incredible moves, and people aren't even allowed to laugh?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoge thought about it seriously, her delicate face showing great earnestness, but she suddenly couldn't help but let out a soft "pfft," and then blushed as she spoke.

"Whenever I think about how these people are reinforcements from the Dragon Palace, I really can't laugh. What are they thinking? They're not even as smart as my catfish spirit."

"Hahahaha~"

After the laughter and commotion, let's get back to the main point. The appearance of the dragon-shaped demon was a major setback for Lei Zun. He was there to deal with the nine-headed demon dragon, and the Heavenly Fox Demon Emperor wouldn't make a move immediately.

As a result, such a powerful demon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his confidence finally dropped from arrogance to a normal level, or even lower, making him lose confidence.

Out of pride, they stubbornly resisted.

He's currently discussing with the Dragon King how to handle the evil lands, and he'll probably have to go to the Demon Realm to meet with the Heavenly Fox Demon Emperor in person and question him about another matter.

The ambush by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon and the Nine Shamans, which resulted in the theft of supplies and weakening of the Heavenly Army, was only one aspect. Another aspect was leaving behind traces of pure demonic energy, which made the Heavenly Palace suspicious of the demon race.

To sow discord between the two sides.

The Heavenly Fox Demon Emperor has always been friendly to the immortals and has always maintained a humble attitude. Whether he will go to the demon realm to confront them is still unknown.

Lei Zun sent people back to the Heavenly Palace to inform the Emperor Zun and ask him to make a decision.

This means that a large-scale war will not break out in Beihai in the short term, and Gu Qing has no need to participate in small-scale conflicts. He has simply changed his cultivation location.

With the support of numerous immortal spirit crystals, it doesn't matter where one cultivates. After arranging accommodations in the Dragon Palace...

He discovered that the aquatic creatures throughout the Dragon Palace held Ao Miaoge in high esteem. He wondered what had happened, but perhaps this attitude was also the reason why she wanted to help the aquatic creatures of the mountains and seas.

After confirming that there was still a long time to prepare.

Gu Qing unleashed the Three Thousand Great Dao Flames and began refining the Canghai Lost Pearl that the White Dragon had given him some time ago. The Five Elements Spirit Pearls were only missing the last Fire Spirit Pearl to complete the Five Elements Cycle.

Among them, the Gold and Wood Spirit Pearls were infused with the seeds of the Burning Gold Fire and Wood-generating Fire, reaching the grade of mid-level magic treasures, and were incorporated into the corresponding five internal organs by Gu Qing.

The Earth and Water Spirit Orbs, lacking corresponding fire seeds and classified as low-grade magic treasures, were also absorbed into his body for nurturing.

Their only effect is to strengthen the five elements. They are not conventional magic weapons, but rather tools used to assist in cultivation.

Before achieving the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit, the stronger one's essence, energy, and spirit, the better. The conventional peak is when the Three Treasures Bloom.

Gu Qing naturally gave full play to his initiative and worked hard to enhance his own foundation, preparing for a meteoric rise in the future.

Among the four realms of the Fifth-Rank Dao Lord stage, there is one realm called "Five Qi Converging to the Origin," which corresponds to "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top." Both are unavoidable steps on the path of cultivation.

Starting early is the key to remaining calm in a crisis.

"Things will work themselves out" is the solution of geniuses, while "the early bird catches the worm" is the way for ordinary people to overtake others.

He had the equipment for refining the Five Elements Spirit Pearls as a foundation, and he also had a very deep understanding of the Five Elements Dao Patterns.

No accidents.

In just one year, he refined the final piece of the Five Elements, the Fire Spirit Pearl. Initially, it was a low-grade magic weapon, but as Gu Qing separated a portion of the fire seed of Zhu Rong True Flame and completely integrated it into the Fire Spirit Pearl...

The latter naturally advanced to a mid-grade magic weapon.

When the Fire Spirit Orb was swallowed, it merged into Gu Qing's heart, completing the Five Elements cycle.

The five elements, five internal organs, and five energies transform into one another, continuously strengthening Gu Qing's internal organs, causing his essence to surge and its quality to improve.

Unbeknownst to him, his physique had become his strongest asset.

Correspondingly, the physical body dharma body divine power of the Fire Ancestor Saint Body has also risen accordingly, and it is currently ranked first among the powers he has mastered!

Rising to the level of a supreme supernatural power, the strongest trump card!
Within Gu Qing's lower dantian, the "Gate of Longevity," a jade flower condensed from Gu Qing's essence resided amidst a raging sea of ​​blood, resembling a true Dao lotus.

Lotus leaves and pods sprouted, and lotus seeds formed. Threads of golden silk merged into the sea of ​​qi and blood, making his blood red with gold, and he entered an unknown realm of sublimation and transformation.

"So strong."

"This is just the initial formation of a cycle. Once the water and earth spirit orbs are replenished and the magic weapon is upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon, the effects will be even better when the five element spirit orbs are completely integrated into the five internal organs."

This is the skill of a weapon refiner. Although the original magic weapon is not as powerful as the offensive magic weapon, it is definitely the best in terms of helping with cultivation.

Moreover, Gu Qing has also incorporated several deduced array techniques, making his potential even greater and his effects even better.

Today, Gu Qing has a sufficient understanding of the essence of the Taotie head. The innate weapon-refining method is derived from the Jinyun weapon-making ancestral method, which utilizes the characteristics of spiritual objects themselves.

This is a primordial magic weapon crafted by combining the laws of nature.

That's why it can contain the great supernatural power of the Devouring Dao, inheriting most of the instincts of the Taotie's original body, which greatly helped him in his early stages.

One link after another.

Thus, the matter of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls was temporarily put to rest.

Gu Qing's attention turned to his Niwan Palace. During the previous ambush, he used the Pure Nirvana Dao Heart to educate three thousand Heavenly Demons and one Heavenly Demon King. They were all currently sitting in his Niwan Palace with saintly expressions.

These are all excellent materials for refining weapons.

Looking at his wealth and reserves, Gu Qing selected a number of materials to forge a [Sacred Virtue Flag].

He possesses two "Saint" characters formed from the Five Virtues of Heaven. In fact, having more of these is useless; one is enough to bless himself.

Using another artifact as the core, creating a magical treasure to control the Holy Demon would actually be quite good. (End of Chapter)
