Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 100 Selection of Former Immortal Envoys
This grand feast fed a large number of weapon refiners in Baiyue Mountain, and the weapon refining lineage made a fortune.

It lasted for about three months.

Gu Qing already had the nickname "Thousand-Handed Puppeteer" because his weapon-forging speed was even more exaggerated than an assembly line.

After three months of dedicated weapon crafting, I earned a whopping 400 spirit stones.

He has never been richer than he is today. He mainly refines low-grade and mid-grade magic weapons, and he values ​​speed. Opportunities to take advantage of others are rare.

The amount of spirit stones earned ranks among the top ten.

The reason for this is that a seventh-grade weapon refiner has entered the fray. Refining high-grade magic weapons is as easy as eating and drinking. Gu Qing can't compete with them, so he can only try to squeeze down.

After the matter was over, Gu Qing didn't interfere further.

He took his share of spirit stones to Chen Yin and asked him to make a trip to Nanli City to buy him thirty-six gourds of Dragon Spring Brew.

Only 36 spirit stones, a drop in the ocean.

Chen Yin and he joined Baiyue Mountain at the same time. Now, many years have passed, and his cultivation has just broken through to the middle level of the eighth rank. His spiritual power has been transformed into true essence, and he has a place in the Sword Forging Pavilion and has his own independent sword forging room.

He's quite a little genius, and he's also the hard-working type.

Chen Yin was willing to help Gu Qing with his request and even told him a little about Huang Li.

It is said that he has already broken through to the Grandmaster realm and is expected to sense the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace within five years. This speed is considered very fast, and he vaguely has the destiny of achieving great things later in life.

Gu Qing didn't say anything, after all, it was just a casual favor.

That secret technique of the Heavenly Shuttle is still gathering dust in the head of the Gluttonous Beast.

Waiting for Chen Yin to return from his errands.

Gu Qing began accumulating contributions again to prepare for his seclusion in the Earthly Fiend Abyss. Occasionally, he would meet up with Zhang Yuan, Li Qiufeng, Zhao Yuyang, Liu Ziyi, and the Yan Jiangyue siblings at the Fire Mulberry Mountain Abode.

This group of people can be considered Gu Qing's classmates.

Although there is a slight gap in cultivation now, it does not mean that it is useless. The road ahead is long and arduous, and who can say what the future holds?

Coincidentally, this year's newcomers have also arrived.

Gu Qing then went with Zhao Yuyang to see if any old acquaintances had come.

And sure enough, they actually ran into one.

"Zhou An?!"

On the teleportation platform, the dazed young man's pupils contracted the moment he saw Gu Qing, but then he relaxed.

He called out from afar.

"Gu Qing, Zhou An has arrived!"

He has changed. Perhaps he has been tempered by reality. The restlessness he once had has completely disappeared, and he even speaks with a certain confidence.

This is completely different from the initial arrogance and complacency; it is a composure and calmness that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

He only came over after he had finished handing over the reins to the messenger.

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

Zhao Yuyang didn't seem to care; he was just disappointed to see that Yushan and Danya were still nowhere to be seen in the crowd this year.

"you've changed."

Gu Qing replied that the minor friction from the past had dissipated. People always grow, and since Zhou An had let go, there was no longer any conflict between them.

He never considered him an opponent.

"I'm late, which is both a good thing and a bad thing."

"I will catch up with you."

"Maybe."

Without saying much, Zhou An clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Qing and walked towards the mountain gate.

Meeting Zhou An was just an interlude.

Unable to find the person they were waiting for at the teleportation platform, the two left.

The next period of time.

Another major event has occurred in Baiyue Mountain.

The selection of immortal envoys! This was an internal matter of the five mortal kingdoms, and the disciples of Nan Yue had no way of knowing about it. Gu Qing only heard about it from Elder Jiang Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The selection of celestial envoys takes place once every ten years. It involves going to the five mortal kingdoms to select outstanding talents. The rewards are extremely generous. Each kingdom is required to send at least 20 people, and one contribution point is awarded for each person who exceeds the limit.

If someone possesses special talent, whether it's in Taoist arts or a special physique, they will receive 20 contribution points.

Zhou An's body, with all its meridians open, gives him a significant advantage in the eighth-grade true cultivation realm, allowing him to cultivate at a speed more than five times faster than others.

Refine essence into qi, ascend the nine-story tower, and open the three gates of the marrow path.

Golden Dew Fasting, spiritual roots nourish the divine spring, spiritual power transforms into true essence.

Gathering spiritual energy from all the orifices, opening the meridians and increasing the upper limit of true essence.

They hold a tremendous advantage in all three realms.

The position of Celestial Envoy requires certain connections, but it's not reserved for geniuses. After all, it requires spending three to five months traveling each year, leaving less time for cultivation.

After learning about it, Gu Qing lost interest.

It only reminded him of waves of old friends and stories from the past.

Speaking of Yan Lin, that fellow Yan Xian Shi, I haven't seen him since he was seriously injured. I wonder if he went to the Sword Forging Manor to retire.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little sentimental.

Gu Qing was willing to lend a hand if she could.

That's how spiritual practice works. Some people will fall behind, some will pass away, and some will even disappear from memory.

Every step you take opens up a completely new world.

Old friends and acquaintances may drift apart or leave, but you will always meet new people and make new friends. New places may become old places, and they may become places worth remembering.

The different stages of life are all manifestations of the path of spiritual practice.

Think about this.

Gu Qing closed his eyes, and a sudden realization brought about a change and transformation in his state of mind.

I have gained new insights into the Tao.

In reality, this resulted in a qualitative change in his consciousness.

The red crow cried out, and the remaining red downy feathers turned completely golden.

Like a golden crow spreading its wings, it soared in his Niwan Palace.

The third level of the Fiery Crimson Crow Diagram is now complete.

The epiphany came quickly and went quickly; Gu Qing seized the opportunity to launch an attack on the fourth level.

Chiwu shows fire!
Golden-red threads of divine consciousness emerged from the Golden Crow's body, entwining and coiling behind its head as time passed.

A crimson-gold ring of fire appeared behind the Golden Crow's head.

This is the Fire Divine Ring!
Gu Qing's divine sense surged once again, and the range he could perceive rapidly increased: fifty zhang, one hundred zhang... one li, two li!
Finally, it stopped within a five-mile radius, and its divine sense perception expanded by more than tenfold!
"Two thousand five hundred meters!"

In the courtyard of Huosang Mountain, Gu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint golden-red color flashed across them.

Huoyao Chiwutu's practice came to an end.

The next step is to perfect the Fire Divine Ring. Once it is perfected, you can try to break through to the fifth level of Fire Divine Ring!
The benefits of high comprehension are mostly implicit.

Just like now.

If Gu Qing can cultivate to the sixth level of perfection, his spiritual power will reach the level of a seventh-grade high-level cultivator. At that time, he can further deduce, but it is too early now.

Now, he has reached the fourth level, which is already extraordinary, far exceeding his original level.

In the art of spiritual refinement, he indeed possesses a talent even greater than that in weapon crafting.

A month later.

With the arrival of the new year, Chen Yin successfully returned to Baiyue Mountain and brought Gu Qing thirty-six gourds of Longquan wine.

After receiving it, I went to the weapon-refining hall.

Gu Qing had already experienced the effects of the Yihe Pill; the increase in true essence from one pill was four times that of the Bihai Pill! The difficulty of refining it also increased exponentially.
