Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Back then, he was just an ordinary person from the Yan Kingdom. It was only after coming into contact with the Zhao family that he understood the path of cultivating immortality.

He had developed a favorable impression of Baiyue Mountain during his time at the Sword Forging Manor.

After joining the sect, he cultivated for sixty years, spent sixty years on the frontier battlefield, and encountered countless benefactors. A few unpleasant things were not enough to change his sense of identity with the Baiyue Immortal Sect.

Although they claimed to have established their own sect, they were still cultivators from Baiyue Mountain.

The situation is roughly as follows.

After receiving the boat ticket, Ao Miaoge hesitated, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent, only saying...

"Gu Qing, I want to go home."

"I know."

Thus, the Yaochi gathering came to a temporary end. He knew perfectly well what Ao Miaoge wanted to say, but just as he had thought before, it was inappropriate.

What he seeks is freedom and ease; being bound to one place by love and affection is not his ideal.

Even the strongest bonds of affection have their limits. Ao Miaoge and Yun Yuyan were merely passersby in his life. Good times are good, but like fallen leaves, the five breaths that fall are not eternal.

What's past is past, and he'll find a way to pay back what he owes. He's not willing to risk his whole life on it.

Xiao Bailong's family is powerful, and even if he breaks through to the fifth rank, he will still need her. Therefore, it is best not to make it clear that he has feelings for Yun Yuyan, but no romantic feelings for Xiao Bailong.

He's just after rich women.
"A sin."

Gu Qing hurriedly left Yaochi, intending to return to Tianwaitian for seclusion and seize the time to break through his cultivation realm, but was stopped by someone.

With black hair and red clothes, his cold and domineering aura had completely vanished.

Like a gentle lamb, she winked at him; this was the third woman he had overlooked—Tu Shan Yue!

"Hmm, didn't you go back with the Heavenly Fox Demon Emperor?"

Tu Shanyue glared, a hint of anger on her beautiful face.

"You dislike me that much?"

"No, I'm just afraid you haven't distinguished between desire and true feelings."

"I know it very well."

"What's the reason?"

Gu Qing was puzzled. He really didn't understand how he had offended this person. He felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. At most, he felt grateful, but it hadn't come to the point of offering himself in return.

"a lot of."

Tu Shanyue looked into Gu Qing's eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with affection.

“I like what I like. I never hide what I desire. If you want a reason, I will tell you.”

"I fell in love with you during the Battle of Beihai."

Gu Qing frowned. He preferred subtle expressions to direct statements like "I like you" or "I love you." He believed that being tactful and reserved made people more likely to believe him.

"Just because I'm fighting alongside you?"

"Yes and no."

"During the time we spent together in the courtyard, you sacrificed your own Dao heart to help me break free from the nature of the nine-tailed fox, which was one of the reasons."

Gu Qing explained calmly.

"That's just desire. Don't mistake gratitude for something else. If you want to repay the favor, give me some treasures."

"Am I not a treasure?"

"........."

Gu Qing shuddered, goosebumps rising on his skin. He couldn't stand such blatant words of love; he even suspected that some strange thing called the "laws of love" existed in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"You and Qiyue are about to get married, there's no point in talking to me about this."

"I know. I've talked to Qiyue. We'll each do our own thing and not interfere with each other."

"You guys are really generous."

"you do not like me?"

The direct attack left Gu Qing speechless for a moment.

He really didn't want to answer that question. What man doesn't like the feeling of being pursued? Especially a stunning beauty like the nine-tailed fox, who is naturally alluring and capable of captivating a nation.

But if he had to pick a type he liked, it would only be Yun Yuyan – long legs, a slender figure, and a mature, older sister type. Little White Dragon is calm, Tu Shanyue is fierce!
If the latter were to change his personality, he would indeed be the type that Gu Qing likes.

"There are different kinds of liking."

"Give me a chance."

Tu Shanyue suddenly moved closer, grabbed Gu Qing's arm and swayed it gently.

"We'll talk again once the Six Realms are at peace. Farewell."

A flash of light appeared, and Gu Qing vanished in an instant.

Tu Shanyue was left standing there, stamping her feet in frustration. Before she could leave, a storage bag flew in from the horizon, along with Gu Qing's message.

"Give the contents inside to someone you value, so they can escape danger in case of an accident."

This item is still a ticket for the Ferry of Crossing the World, and there are about three thousand of them. Considering the size and wealth of the demon race, this is more than what was given to Little White Dragon Ao Miaoge.

…………

…………

Heaven and earth.

Gu Qing didn't see anyone upon his return and immediately went into seclusion.

He could sense that the [Unity of All Qi] had reached its final stage, with the most powerful source of the Five Elements being completely devoured by the Qi Sea Pill.

Before reaching the fifth rank, the final transformation of magical power will arrive.

By gathering the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, creation arises spontaneously, and the solid elixir formed by the Qi channel truly gives birth to the golden flower of Qi.

He had just gone into seclusion less than three days ago.

The outer heavenly tribulation clouds gathered, which, theoretically speaking, was a third-level immortal lord tribulation. Its power was not great, far less than the lightning tribulation of the Cangwu Realm, so Gu Qing didn't take it to heart at all.

He simply considered this an opportunity for him to cultivate the Dao of Thunder.

Three flowers gather at the top.

Lotus flowers floated from the three palaces of essence, qi, and spirit—the Niwan point between Gu Qing's eyebrows, the Qihai point in his chest, and the Changsheng point below his navel—and drifted to his shoulders and the top of his head.

Among them, the Jade Flower of Essence is the most powerful, followed by the Divine Flower and the Qi Flower.

At this moment, the three treasures blossom.

This means that Gu Qing has officially broken through to the sixth rank of the ultimate realm. At this level, there is no longer a three-step cultivation method. The only goal of cultivation is to continuously improve one's essence, energy, and spirit.

After reaching perfection.

By utilizing the Yin-Yang pattern of the body and the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram of the middle dantian, the illusory elixir [principles and laws] and the real elixir [supernatural powers and magical abilities] are combined into one.

He then attained the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit.

After all the energies are united, the solid elixir is the crystallization of all of Gu Qing's power, while the illusory elixir is all his understanding of the Dao.

The combination of the real and the virtual leads to a qualitative change.

This is the realm of the fifth-grade lower level Golden Core Dao Fruit, which is considered strong even among the middle third-grade True Immortals. It truly marks the entry into the ranks of great beings, with a lifespan exceeding ten thousand years.

Facing the tribulation of lightning.

Gu Qing unleashed the Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Eating Great Divine Power. Driven by boundless magical power, the true Heaven-Devouring Maw swallowed up all the ten thousand miles of tribulation clouds in one gulp.

The raging lightning bolts raged within his void stomach, awaiting digestion.

After stabilizing one's realm, one can then focus on digesting the benefits of the lightning tribulation and improving one's mastery of the lightning path. Whether it's the fire path or the lightning path, improvements in both will cause the power of the lightning tribulation flames to surge.

Take out the three Grade 5 Ten-Thousand-Year Precious Fruits obtained from Yaochi.

After swallowing them one by one, Gu Qing, who had just broken through, suddenly experienced a surge in cultivation. With the breakthrough in realm, the upper limit of his essence, energy, and spirit also jumped significantly.

The rare fruit was refined, and the three foundational elements also rose accordingly. Three months later...

Whether it was a tribulation of lightning or a treasure, it had all been completely refined by the Devouring Method. The speed was beyond that of ordinary people, which was naturally an advantage brought by the Devouring Method. Otherwise, it would take decades to refine normally.

Gu Qing's aura also reached its peak.

The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit were perfected once again, and his realm reached the ultimate perfection of the sixth rank, just one step away from the fifth rank.

[By combining the real and the illusory, one can attain the Dao fruit.]
