Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Logically speaking, the wider and deeper the water, the darker it should be.

The Dragon Palace deep in the Western Sea should have been as abyss, inspiring awe and fear, but thanks to the generations of management by the Western Sea Dragon Clan, it shines as brightly as a celestial palace, radiating billions of starlight.

Jewels, corals, rare stones, and exotic animals are as common as stones.

The pavilions and towers were scattered in a well-organized manner, and the carved dragon pillars supported a magnificent architectural complex. Beautiful and enchanting clam spirits dressed in thin gauze walked back and forth between the covered bridges.

Her every step is like a lotus flower, with a plump bottom and a slender waist. Her swaying has a unique charm that is truly eye-catching!
The aquatic guards were all strong and imposing, wearing dazzling armor and holding weapons, standing at various key points.

General Dragon Whale led Gu Qing through the Dragon Palace, but for a time they could not see the whole picture.

When Gu Qing traveled through the Mountain and Sea Realm, he also visited the Dragon Palace. Although the Dragon Palace there was grand, it lacked a spiritual charm; it was indeed large.

It is far less enchanting than the Dragon Palace here.

This is the dragon energy that has influenced the environment due to the long-term presence of a true dragon. Gu Qing, who possesses the "Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Body," suddenly arrived, giving him a sense of homecoming.

Everything I see seems like something from my own home.

It's powerful and friendly.

"Senior Gu, the Lord instructed me to bring you here to wait."

"Go."

"Yes."

The other party could guess his intentions to some extent; whether or not they would agree depended on whether the dragon clan could make a decision internally.

While he was sitting there, an old acquaintance, Ao Miaoge, secretly peeked in from outside the hall and was pleasantly surprised to see Gu Qing.

"Brother Gu, what brings you here?"

"I need to discuss something. Sister Miaoge has made good progress recently."

Hearing the other person address her so intimately, Ao Miaoge's face flushed slightly.

"No matter how much progress you make, it can't compare to Brother Gu's achievements. I heard you... have made another step forward?"

"A mid-level fifth rank, not bad."

Ao Miaoge's expression suddenly became much more complicated. She had a thousand words stuck in her throat and couldn't say them. Back when the two of them were in distress in the Mountain and Sea Realm, they were both only at the lower sixth rank.

Although she had broken through to the sixth rank, Gu Qing was already at the fifth rank. The difference in personal opportunities and talent truly created a sense of distance, like stars in the sky that were unattainable.

He then gave a slightly bitter smile.

Sometimes I really envy Yu Yan.

Gu Qing tasted a sour taste, but didn't say anything more, as he personally had quite high requirements for a Daoist partner.

"Why envy her? Gu Qing still remembers the kindness you showed me when you gave me the 'Pearl of the Deep Sea'. Don't say anything too outrageous, I will definitely help you."

"Hahahahaha~"

Before Ao Miaoge could answer, a burst of hearty laughter rang out from outside the door; those who had arrived were all acquaintances of Gu Qing.

Zujiao Dragon Lord, West Sea Dragon Lord, Ao'an.

Gu Qing owed the former two a favor. Last time he went to Eagle Court to cause trouble, Zu Jiao Long Jun consulted with Xi Hai Long Jun and then went with him, but it didn't work because the situation changed too quickly.

As for Ao Han, he is Ao Miaoge's older brother and the Crown Prince of the West Sea Dragon.

With a cultivation level of the sixth rank and his talent was significantly stronger than that of the White Dragon.

The three arrived together.

The Dragon King of the West Sea was meeting Gu Qing for the first time, and his words were astonishing.

"Fellow Daoist Gu and my daughter have such a connection, why not marry her to you?"

Gu Qing was taken aback. So direct? It's really a little strange.
Zu Jiaolongjun strode forward and gently patted Gu Qing's shoulder: "You kid, you did something big last time and disappeared without a word. I thought you'd died somewhere."

"No, no, no."

With his good friend's help, Gu Qing skipped the topic of marriage, which made Ao An look a little unhappy.

The West Sea Dragon Palace lineage, besides having an old dragon in their family, consists of staunch supporters of the new school, sharing the same lineage as the East Sea Dragon Palace, and also having the closest relationship with the human race.

Gu Qing avoided the topic.

The Dragon King of the West Sea sat in the head seat and spoke calmly.

"I can guess what Fellow Daoist Gu is here for. Yunmeng Mountain is making some big moves." "Since the Dragon King knows the situation, I won't beat around the bush. I've come here to ask for the help of a few Dragon Lords."

Ao An: "Last time Uncle Zu Jiao helped you, but you didn't see any benefit from it. This time, you're just talking nonsense and trying to get the West Sea to help you?"

Zujiao Dragon King: "Crown Prince, what are you saying!"

Gu Qing didn't seem to care about being offended: "Last time it was a private matter. In terms of personal relationships, this time I'm here representing the human race, and the Western Sea will share in the spoils. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the West Sea said, "If that's the case, then let's fight fairly. The wealth of the Four Seas far surpasses that of the demon races of the Eight Desolations, and the human race is far inferior. The Dragon Palace lacks nothing, so why should we fight to the death with you?"

"Is it for a little territory on land? Or for the past glory of the Supreme Dragon Court? It's all empty talk and meaningless."

The words of the Dragon King of the West Sea are reality.

Gu Qing had already prepared a plan, intending to use the matter of the Burial Valley and the schemes of the demon immortals to persuade the West Sea Dragon Clan, but then he heard the other party change their tune.

"but---"

"I admire you quite a bit in private. If you become one of the people of the Western Sea, it would be only right for me to help you."

Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoge was a little stunned. She hadn't expected that her father had summoned her to arrange a marriage for her. However, she didn't object and looked at Gu Qing expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

Gu Qing hesitated.

"I have a Daoist partner."

"Men, especially capable men, which one doesn't have three wives and four concubines? I have three thousand beauties in my harem, and the Dragon Queen hasn't said anything about it."

"..."

Gu Qing waved to Ao Miaoge.

"I want to ask Miaoge a few honest questions."

"Please."

With permission, the two temporarily left the main hall and went to a side hall. Seeing that the other's small hands were clasped together, looking quite nervous, they couldn't help but tease each other.

"I treated you like a younger sister, and you actually coveted my body."

Ao Miaoge's face turned bright red instantly, and she was almost sweating profusely, extremely nervous.

"You...you...really think that way?"

"Relax. We've been through life and death together. In a place like the Mountain and Sea Realm, we were the only passengers on the same boat. I can understand that feeling of relying on each other. But... are you really sure?"

"I've made up my mind!" Ao Miaoge looked at him with a determined gaze.

Gu Qing, however, was in no hurry to agree.

My mind is unsettled.

“I have.”

"I don't have time for romance."

"The great way is of utmost importance."

"I'm rarely home."

"understand."

"I will eventually ascend."

"—I will try my best!"

"Fine," Gu Qing shrugged, indicating he had no problem with it. Sacrificing one's virtue was pointless if the other person was a beauty; there was no point in discussing who gained or lost.

Small has its own charm.

"Then it's settled."

"really?"

"real."

Ao Miaoge beamed with joy. She had already understood her own feelings when it came to matters of the heart back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but at that time, Gu was... in love with a nine-tailed fox.

There was no other way; when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In that world, everything revolves around the rules of love, and everyone has a partner. If he didn't join in, he would seem out of place.

Of course, lust at first sight is another matter entirely. (End of Chapter)
