As his acupoints opened, his lifespan also increased dramatically, resulting in a lifespan of three hundred years after three years of arduous cultivation.

Once he breaks through to the eighth rank, the realm of dining on the sun and moon.

He might be able to live to be a thousand years old. The exact lifespan is not important for now, since he is only 32 years old this year and is still very young.

In terms of cultivation resources, they were exhausted in about two years.

The following year, he relied entirely on the favorable environment for his spiritual practice, and in his spare time, he also devoted himself to in-depth study of magic, which he has now basically perfected.

Only the secret technique is still two steps short.

If you want to learn more, you need to find the precious techniques used by seventh-grade cultivators to enhance your combat power.

"Successful and complete, yet penniless."

"Time to start earning resources again."

With a few words of reflection, he realized that if he hadn't run out of contribution points, he probably would have opened all 720 acupoints before leaving seclusion.

I greeted Senior Tai Kang from the Earthly Fiend Abyss.

Gu Qing leisurely left.

This prompted the latter to express his deep feelings.

"The future life is terrible!"

After leaving the pass, Gu Qing returned to his hermitage on Mount Huosang, changed into a new set of clothes, and began to plan his next move.

Spirit stones and contribution points are definitely something to be earned.

Spiritual artifacts also need to be crafted.

He wanted to try to improve his skills in weapon crafting, so firstly, he needed to advance his Divine Refinement Technique to the next level, with the Zhu Rong Spirit Armor as his primary target.

Next, one must craft a unique magical robe.

Having studied the ingenious techniques of using herbs and wood for many years, it's time to put them to good use.

The disciples' robes issued by the mountain gate are all low-grade magical artifacts, with only basic functions, which are not as good as those designed by oneself.

As a weapon refiner, one should naturally purchase one's own equipment.

Such a calculation.

I'm going to be busy again.

Having not interacted with anyone for a long time, Gu Qing wanted to contact a group of old friends to get together, but to his surprise, Chen Yin, Zhao Yuyang, and the others were all out on missions.

Huang Li was present, and Qi Qingyu also successfully joined Baiyue Mountain and entered the Sword Forging Pavilion of the weapon-refining lineage.

But their cultivation levels were too different, so they didn't have much to talk about.

His interest waned.

…………

…………

The Refining Hall.

"Hey, it's a rare visitor."

Gu Qing couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Elder Yao, please stop teasing your disciple."

The old man rolled his eyes and took out a purple robe, handing it to Gu Qing.

The purple robes of a disciple signify the highest rank among the disciples of Baiyue Mountain. A further advancement would place one at the pinnacle of the eighth rank.

They would be transferred to the southern border of Yue to confront the demon race head-on. This was a military career that every disciple of Baiyue Mountain had to experience, and generally there was a system of serving for 50 to 100 years.

If you want to continue down this path, you can continue serving.

If they don't want to, they can wait until they return from the frontier and naturally assume positions such as steward or elder in the Baiyue Mountains, which is related to their merits on the frontier and the connections they have made.

Alternatively, they could manage Baiyue Mountain's numerous assets within the southern Yue territory.

If you don't want to think about anything, then you're just an idle person.

Traveling across the four seas and eight wastelands, seeking opportunities, etc... are all decisions made by the cultivators themselves.

Once you advance to the sixth rank, you will naturally enter the Ancestral Hall of Baiyue Mountain and become one of the ancestors!

The Four Nine Immortal Paths of the Cangwu Immortal Cultivation World.

The lower three ranks are called Human Immortals, the middle three ranks are True Immortals, and the upper three ranks are called Celestial Immortals.

Those who cultivate to the fourth rank can ascend to the immortal realm. It is said that the most recent ascension of the human race was by a patriarch of Taihe Mountain, the Qinglian Daojun, who ascended a thousand years ago.

Therefore, the fifth rank represents the top combat power in the Cangwu Realm, still far from Gu Qing's level.

Back to the point.

Elder Yao snorted.

"You've been invited for three years straight. Look how many commissions have come to you. If you don't want to do it anymore, you should quit this job as a weapon refiner as soon as possible."

"Isn't this important business..."

Gu Qing took the scroll and discovered that there were over a hundred weapon-refining commissions in the past three years, all specifying that the Thousand-Handed Puppet Master should be the one to refine them. It seems that his reputation is among the top in the main hall of weapon refining.

"You mean the requests from the Weapon Refining Hall aren't important matters?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"

"I'll take on these tasks."

Elder Yao glanced at it and asked in surprise.

"A top-grade magic artifact? You can refine magic treasures?"

"That's it."

Gu Qing currently only knows the crafting methods for two types of magical artifacts: the method to break the Ghost-Slaying Sword and the method to devour magical artifacts. The blueprints for the Zhu Rong Flame Armor contain five types of fire-elemental magical artifacts, all of which require time to learn.

In comparison, taking on orders for top-tier magical artifacts allows one to acquire a free method for crafting a magical artifact, which can be considered as accumulating resources while making money on the side.

"It seems that Lao Jiang and I underestimated you."

“Apart from Zhao Yin, among the five mortal kingdoms in the past hundred years, you are the most outstanding and deserve the title of genius.”

"Zhao Yin? His surname is Zhao?"

Gu Qing suddenly remembered that this wasn't the first time he had heard this name.

"But are you from the Yan state?"

"Yes, it seems you know him."

How could Gu Qing not know the prodigy of the Zhao family in Qishan County? By seniority, Zhao Yuyang should call him uncle, as he is more than ten or twenty years older than them.

I've tried to find out more over the years, but there's been little information, and not many people know about it.

"Zhao Yin joined the Patrol Hall and lived in the Nine Nether Cave for five years. He was supposed to go to the frontier to fight against the demons, but he took on the position of Patrol Hall's World Traveler."

"You patrol various parts of Southern Yue year-round, and 70% of the missions you receive at the mountain gate are sent by the Patrol Hall."

"If danger is encountered during a mission, the Patrol Hall is responsible for the rescue."

"It is said that he has recently broken through to the seventh rank and been promoted to the position of Commander of the Celestial Bureau. He is a Dao seed personally selected by the ancestors of Baiyue Mountain and is the most dazzling genius in the last hundred years."

"You're still a bit short. If you can break through to the seventh rank within twenty years, you might catch the eye of the ancestors."

Gu Qing remained silent.

"So impressive? Then why do we rarely hear about his deeds?"

"The master meant that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. The news was mostly suppressed and few people knew about it."

"No wonder."

It seems that Baiyue Mountain values ​​its elite disciples quite a bit, even skipping the life-or-death training on the frontier, for fear of any unexpected events.

The protection is quite effective.

In fact, Gu Qing himself was also protected by Baiyue Mountain. Otherwise, it would be a coincidence that the Thousand-Handed Puppet Master was famous while Gu Qing was not, and that no one had ever looked for him. It was not a coincidence, but rather a preordained arrangement.
