Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Having successfully stabilized his realm, Gu Qing had completely digested the heavenly tribulation lightning that had been devoured, and now he truly stood at the pinnacle of the Cangwu cultivation world. Everything had changed.

After leaving customs.

He summoned the disciples of Qinggong and announced to the Western Sea that he would be holding an enlightenment ceremony. Qinggong's dojo was now wide open, welcoming talented individuals from all over.

The two overlord-level forces, West Sea Dragon Palace and Cloud Dream Immortal Mountain, arrived first.

Three Immortals Mountain, Qingxu Hall.

Gu Qing sat in the main seat, and several acquaintances arrived first.

"Fairy Huanyin, I'll return your sect's treasure for avoiding calamity to you for now. Thank you for your kindness."

"It wasn't used, so it's nothing to talk about."

Fairy Huanyin shook her head and looked at Ao Miaoge, Ao An, and an old dragon sitting opposite her.

That old dragon was not the Dragon King of the West Sea, but an earlier Dragon Lord who once used astonishing power to kill a fifth-rank high-level demonic cultivator and dominate a region.

With feet firmly planted on earth and eyes gazing into the distance, I have always held heaven and earth in high esteem.

His title is—Zujiao Dragon Lord

He is even more intimidating than the Dragon King of the West Sea, after all, he is a master of killing.

Zujiao Longjun glanced at Gu Qing in a very friendly manner.

"Young friend Gu, your immortal beauty is unparalleled in this world. Among the last generation of demon immortals, you have the greatest chance of becoming an immortal. You are a promising young man. This item is a gift from the West Sea to celebrate the establishment of the Azure Palace."

"Senior Zujiao, you flatter me."

After receiving the gift, Gu Qing glanced at it, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Is this a rare and extraordinary fire?"

"Of course."

"The deep sea is a place of natural beauty and spiritual energy, where all things gather and the wonders of heaven and earth flourish, displaying a variety of exquisite flowers."

"Proclaimed: Azure sea and blue sky, boundless lotus blossoms beneath the moon! —【Azure Sea Moon Lotus Fire】"

"This fire possesses the three treasures of purifying essence, qi, and spirit, enhancing the physical body's inherent potential, drawing upon the essence of the moon, transforming the waters of the ocean to nourish jade dew, and reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. It ranks among the top ten among the extraordinary fires of the Cangwu Realm."

The effects of the Canghai Moon Lotus Fire are very complex. At first glance, Gu Qing did not know what its fundamental law was. Through the fire-gathering pot, one could see a moon-white flame that resembled a lotus flower, with a phantom image of the Canghai Sea in the very center.

This is a great gift, especially for Gu Qing.

At this moment, Ao Miaoge winked at Gu Qing, clearly indicating that she had chosen the gift. The Dragon Clan was indeed wealthy, especially in a treasure trove like the Dragon Palace.

Gu Qing accepted it without hesitation.

He truly needs this treasure, as he cultivates the Three Thousand Great Daos with Flame as its origin.

The Fairy of Illusory Sound observed this and spoke.

"There is also a strange flame in the treasure vault of Yunmeng Immortal Mountain. If Fellow Daoist Gu is interested, I can give it to you."

"No need to be so polite."

Gu Qing waved his hand: "A normal transaction is fine. It's not worth giving it away. The Heavenly Flame has its limits. After all, it's a creation of the spirit."

"How can I have it all to myself?"

Hahahaha———

The atmosphere was pleasant, and with a good relationship, the gift made it even more harmonious and loving.

Not a few days later.

Most of the forces that had come to observe the day of the tribulation had arrived, and all sorts of rare treasures were sent to the Azure Palace, although there was no unique and precious gift like the [Azure Sea Moon Lotus Fire].

However, it also greatly enriched the treasure trove of the Green Palace.

Even within the relatively distant Shuiyun Cultivation Kingdom, representatives from the five sects, three valleys, one tower, and one religion, as well as the four sects and three clans near the sea—a total of seventeen forces—came.

The crowds were immense, a truly once-in-a-millennium spectacle in the West Sea.

Gu Qing was in a good mood. He was even happier after Yun Shi arrived. As one of the eight clans of Zhu Rong, his Zhu Rong lineage came from Yun Shi, and he also had an old lover—Yun Yuyan.

He arrived at the same time as Tianhuo and Zhaixing, two sixth-rank cultivators, and upon meeting, memories flooded back.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"A mere century has passed, yet it feels like a lifetime ago—"

Yun Yuyan has a graceful figure and wears a long silk dress, giving her a tall and elegant appearance.

She has a slender waist, a fleshy figure, and firm, shapely curves. She has full breasts and rounded buttocks, and her graceful figure shows off her exquisite curves.

The red lotus flower decoration between her eyebrows adds to her unique charm.

It's been a long time.

Ignoring the two old men, Gu Qing put his arm around Yun Yuyan's slender waist, displaying extreme intimacy in public.

Ao Miaoge's expression changed. How come there are still some?

Among the guests, the representative of the Holy Fire Church also looked unwell, and the jade goblet in his hand was cracked from being squeezed.

A gentleman appreciates beauty without being lewd; his emotions arise from genuine feelings but are restrained by propriety. He uses these feelings to appreciate beauty, cultivate his character, and is not a lustful person.
He arranged for her to sit next to him and whispered a few words to her. What should have been a clever way to get closer to her seemed to cause Yun Yuyan to tug at his sleeve with some hesitation.

“Gu Qing…”

"Huh? You say."

"Ten years ago, I was very happy to hear that you had returned to overcome your tribulation, but we should not meet under these circumstances."

She meant that the timing was wrong. More than a hundred years ago, after the daughter of Zhu Rong awakened her physique, her progress in cultivating the fire path was rapid, but she had only just broken through to the sixth rank.

She was still a whole realm apart from Gu Qing, or even further, which was one of the reasons for her worry.

As for the second point, Gu Qing had already guessed it.

"Ask me for something?"

It's not surprising that people feel this way when they can't stand on equal footing and offer help, especially during a promotion celebration.

"Speak, you and I can be called Daoist partners, which will be of great help to me. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yuyan sighed and continued, "It's the Holy Fire Sect. Do you still remember the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool?"

Gu Qing was taken aback and patted his forehead.

He said he felt like something was missing, and it turned out that Xiao Bai, Gu Huo Niao, and Xiao Ba, these few demons, had been so busy since they came back that they never got to sleep.

He actually forgot about these few.

The Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool is located inside the Artifact Ancestor Tower in the Jinyun Secret Realm. The [Chongshan Seal], which combines two rare artifacts—the mountain veins and the heart of the earth veins—is still undergoing its transformation into a Heavenly Treasure.

Because of the great distance to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Taotie was unable to open the gate to the secret realm, and too many things have happened in the past hundred years.

He actually forgot!

My sins, my sins—

After thinking about it, I decided to deal with it later. Calling them out now would just prove him wrong, wouldn't it? No, no, no!
Despite her complicated thoughts, Yun Yuyan continued explaining why she had sought his help.

"More than a hundred years ago, two demon lords joined forces to seize the Fire Pool from the Holy Fire Sect and then disappeared. The Holy Fire Sect was furious because of this, and its Eastern leader thought that my Yun clan had hired the two demons."

"From then on, they relentlessly pursued the Yun clan, and now they are in dire straits."

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Qing's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He was the one who did it; who knew that trying it would turn out so well.

Tracing back to its origins, the Holy Ancestor Fire Pool was a treasure left behind by Zhu Rong, which was of great use in cultivating Zhu Rong's legacy. It originally belonged to the Yun clan, but now it has disappeared without a trace.

It is normal to have doubts about Yun Shi.

"The Holy Flame Sect... If I remember correctly, its highest cultivation level is the sixth rank, but one can temporarily reach the fifth rank by using the [Heavenly Sea Holy Flame] that has been worshipped within the sect for many years."

"Yes, that's the religion." (End of Chapter)
