Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 365 The Azure Lotus Immortal Clan Encounters Trouble: Filthy Blood and Mud

at the same time.

The Immortal Realm, specifically the Azure Lotus Dao State, one of the three Dao States.

This place is the territory of the Immortal Lotus Clan, with the Azure Lotus Immortal Clan being the most prominent, followed by the White Lotus Immortal Clan, Pink Lotus, Red Lotus, and so on.

While Gu Qing was in the lower realm trying to persuade the ancient gods to surrender, a major event also occurred here.

Since the Magpie Bridge Meeting, the Emperor, who had left the Heavenly Palace, actually appeared at the Immortal Lotus Sacred Palace together with Bai Yazhi, the "Nine Heavens Pure Mystic Maiden".

It seems that the emperor's attempt to woo a young woman has been successful, as the two stand side by side, appearing quite intimate.

A fierce verbal battle is unfolding in the Immortal Lotus Holy Palace, with many people from various Immortal Lotus tribes present. An altar is set up in the very center.

Above, a blue lotus stands gracefully.

Its condition was not good; many leaves were withered and yellow, its primordial spirit fluctuations disappeared, and its life force was about to die. If it weren't for the Emperor's intervention to protect its last glimmer of life...

That is the corpse of a member of the Azure Lotus Immortal Clan.

The Qinglian clan chief stood by the altar, heartbroken, and staggered as he spoke.

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision."

"This is the ancestral lotus of our clan. It was born from chaos during the creation of heaven and earth, and it took countless years to give birth to the primordial spirit. Then, the lotus seed gave rise to the Azure Lotus Immortal Clan of today."

“The Ancestral Lotus undergoes a tribulation every million years. After passing through it, the benefits are immeasurable, and it is also a symbol of our clan’s destiny.”

"But today, the White Lotus Immortal Clan, those who want to rise to power, have secretly harmed us, destroying our foundation with filthy blood and mud. They want to wipe out my Azure Lotus Clan!"

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision."

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!!!"

The numerous members of the Azure Lotus Immortal Clan shouted in unison, putting immense pressure on the White Lotus Immortal Clan. The Pink Lotus, Red Lotus, and other Immortal Clan members, however, remained silent and unmoved, clearly a group of opportunists.

The Azure Sky Immortal Emperor felt extremely troubled. He did not want to see such a thing happen, especially since it was closely related to the people around him.

"All right."

“I will uphold justice for you all. Ya-zhi, do you have a different interpretation?”

Bai Yazhi took a few steps forward, her eyes calm and her voice cool.

"Spouting blood."

"The filthy blood mud is the most filthy thing in the six realms. It can only be born in the Blood Sea Demon Realm. My White Lotus Clan cultivates the power of purification and hates this blood mud the most. They are mutually restraining."

"Let alone being thrown into the Ancestral Lotus Altar, even getting close to it would make one uncomfortable. How could they possibly commit such a heinous act!"

The Qinglian clan chief was furious.

"It is precisely because of this mentality that you think no one will suspect anything. Little do you know that although the ancestral lotus spirit has left and transformed into a mortal to experience tribulations in the human world, its physical instincts are still there."

The Qinglian clan chief cast a spell, and a beam of green light shot out from the withered leaves of the ancestral lotus, transforming into a water mirror that reflected some images.

Although the true culprit was not seen, a unique purifying power of the White Lotus Immortal Clan could be seen lifting a piece of bloody mud and throwing it into the altar.

Such evidence immediately caused Bai Yazhi to frown, and the entire room fell silent.

Its initial statement was captivating.

"The corrupting power of the filthy blood mud is not something that ordinary purification power can withstand. Apart from me, only my daughter's father and three elders in the White Lotus Immortal Clan have this strength."

“I can prove it myself, and so can my father and the elders. They were definitely not in the Immortal Lotus Holy Palace when the incident occurred.”

"lie."

"The evidence is irrefutable, and you're still trying to deny it?!"

"Emperor."

The Azure Sky Immortal Emperor stared intently at Bai Yazhi, who was standing to the side. Just as the Nine Heavens Pure Mystic Maiden was starting to feel uneasy under his gaze, he finally spoke.

"Please calm down, everyone. During the previous battle in the North Sea, some demons framed the demon race, trying to provoke a war between immortals and demons."

Therefore, a marriage alliance was deemed appropriate. However, given the critical timing and the potential for internal treachery, there are still some suspicious aspects.

"Give me some time, and I will definitely find out the truth."

The Azure Sky Immortal Emperor's statement clearly showed consideration for the feelings of all parties involved, and his reasons were quite compelling.

For millions of years, since the Azure Sky Immortal Emperor took office, there has never been any injustice. He has treated all parties in the Immortal Realm equally, and his credibility carries considerable weight.

The Azure Lotus Immortal Clan did not press the matter further, but instead said...

"Your Majesty, we are absolutely convinced of your authority."

"But there has to be a set of rules. We need to give an explanation at the Celestial Assembly of the Mi Luo Palace in three months."

"Okay, I promise you."

In this way, the matter was finally suppressed, allowing three months to investigate the truth.

Immortal Emperor Canglan took out another jade bottle.

"This is the Heavenly Palace's supreme treasure, the Jade Void Glazed Liquid. A drop of this liquid at the root of the Ancestral Lotus can temporarily save its life."

As for how to treat her, even the Azure Lan Immortal Emperor was helpless. He would need to consult the Medicine King Spirit Official of the Immortal Medicine Garden. Everyone has their own expertise, and he was not omnipotent. As for why he didn't ask the Medicine Immortal Venerable, he knew Qi Yue's character and abilities all too well.

After leaving the Immortal Lotus Holy Mansion.

Bai Yazhi followed closely behind.

"Canglan, thank you for believing in me."

"There's no need for gratitude between us; I trust you completely."

The Azure Sky Immortal Emperor smiled gently.

"Yazhi, submit the evidence of the White Lotus Immortal Clan's alibi to the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible. I'm going to investigate the truth of this matter; time is of the essence."

“Yazhi knows.”

Watching the Canglan Immortal Emperor leave, Bai Yazhi hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind. She then sent out a talisman, which flew towards the Immortal Lord Qinian's Mansion.

…………

…………

The human world.

Nothing happened all night.

Early in the morning, Gu Qing found a mountain with fresh air and slowly began to cultivate by transforming the immortal spirit crystal. He could feel that with the infusion of the phoenix's immortal energy,

The three-step cultivation of the sixth-rank, mid-level Heavenly Gang Revolving Wheel is about to be completed. Once his realm breaks through again, his strength will rise to another level, and he may be able to truly defeat the Demon Dragon Nine Shamans.

In the battle of Beihai, the opponent suffered from a lack of intelligence and did not expect Gu Qing to unleash such a terrifying offensive. It was a narrow defeat. If they had gone all out, it would most likely have been a draw.

"Feng Xuan, Feng Xuan! Something's happened! Come back quickly!"

Suddenly.

Tu Shanyue flew up into the sky above the courtyard and called out to Gu Qing from afar.

He immediately calmed his cultivation, took a step, and instantly arrived in the courtyard.

"What's going on? The demons have attacked!"

"What kind of time is this to be joking? Quickly look at Qing Shu, what's wrong with her?"

Tian Mu was carrying Qing Shu out and had just placed her on a chair. He looked anxious and waved to Gu Qing.

"Come quickly and help!"

Me? Helping you out?

Gu Qing had no idea what kind of medicine the dignified God was selling. When he got closer, he saw that Qing Shu, who was lively and energetic yesterday, was now pale and sallow.

An unknown, foul force was eroding her limbs and bones. Her delicate brows furrowed, and her whole body trembled as if she were suffering immense torment.

"I come?"

Tianmu nodded, shifted his position, and his expression was extremely cold.

Without understanding why, Gu Qing conjured phoenix flames at his fingertips. This vibrant flame power, once injected into Qing Shu's body, instantly burned away the impure energy.

And repair the wounds on her body.

Strangely enough, when he first met Qing Shu yesterday, he clearly sensed that she was a celestial lotus in human form, but when he actually came into contact with her body, he discovered that she was also a mortal.

Tianmu was like this, and so was Qingshu.

I wonder what these people have that makes them so fond of the mortal body.

"It should be alright now."

He had just reached a conclusion when he was proven wrong. Despite having burned away the corrupting power, it reappeared out of nowhere and attacked again, this time with exceptional ferocity.

The power of filth condensed to a high degree, transforming into a blood-red filthy fire that ignited Qing Shu's mortal body.

Gu Qing changed his technique, covering the filthy flames with Devouring Fire and drawing them all into the Taotie's stomach. He placed his other hand on Qing Shu's lower abdomen, injecting rich magical power to maintain the integrity of her body.

"Oh no, it's like a spell, appearing out of nowhere."

"But it's also like a part of her, constantly transmitting filth."

"This approach only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause; the problem lies elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Tianmu hesitated for a moment before speaking to Gu Qing.

"I roughly understand what's going on. Can you do me a favor?"

"We're already helping."

He shook his head.

"It's not about that, kill me."

Tu Shan Yue watched the two talking, completely bewildered. She could understand what they were saying, but the meanings were completely different. Tian Mu's words made her gasp in surprise.

Gu Qing understood his situation.
