Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 21 Nirvana Point

It's acceptable to just find anyone to occupy the space; it doesn't necessarily have to be the illegitimate child from the neighboring household.

Behind the scenes lies the complex web of relationships between the Qingmu Manor envoy, the Yan Kingdom's royal family, and the Yun family. As an outsider, Gu Qing couldn't see things clearly when he looked at the big picture.

How can we make a judgment when there is too much unknown information?

They still have too short a perspective and cannot see things from a higher vantage point.

The Zhao family is the same. They have only been established for a short time and do not have enough understanding of the outside world. Even if they produce geniuses, they cannot monetize their talents in a short period of time.

Therefore, like Gu Qing, he went with the flow.

They were excluded from everything.

"A bunch of old bastards are exchanging benefits, making it all so complicated."

Regardless of what I thought in my heart, there were actually no major twists and turns in this matter.

When the main force regrouped and went down into the mine together...

The so-called Phoenix Flame Gold has also revealed its true nature. It is a ore that resembles gold, mainly golden in color, with crimson fire lines on its surface.

The more fire lines there are, the higher the quality of the ore.

According to the pulse examiner, the reserves of Phoenix Flame Gold should be around 100,000 jin. Even if the mining is difficult, with the physical strength of martial artists, it would take thousands of people to mine it.

It should be done in three months at most.

Above ground, snow was falling heavily, while underground, hot winds blew from afar. It was like an ordinary person being exposed to the scorching sun, soon becoming drenched in sweat and needing to replenish a lot of water.

This was Gu Qing's first time coming down here, and she was quite curious.

This was actually Yan Xianshi's first time coming down here. He could sense the spiritual energy that Gu Qing and the others couldn't see. Having not cultivated for several months, he also took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Surrounded by younger generations, he couldn't help but reveal some knowledge of the Dao of Immortality.

"What a wonderful place! It truly deserves to be a treasure trove for cultivating fire-elemental techniques."

"When the fire is strong, it resembles the image of a phoenix perched on a branch."

"When the Kan water weakens, there is a Nirvana cave."

"The metal and fire elements are at their peak, and the earth and wood elements appear to be suppressed, but in reality, they harbor hidden vitality and have the meaning of rebirth. Besides the Phoenix Flame Gold, there may also be treasures of the wood element here."

"You will stay within the spiritual land for the next period of time. In your spare time, you can also help mine ore. After all, you can only come with me to the Sword Forging Manor after the mining is completed."

"Furthermore, if you find a place with lush vegetation, this immortal master will reward you handsomely."

After speaking, he vanished like a gentle breeze.

It was obvious that he had gone deep into the mines to search for treasure; this was clearly not part of his plan and was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Gu Qing, Zhao Yuyang, and the other two stood together.

It was perfectly normal that the four of them were surrounded by members of the Yun family standing together, excluding them.

"Yuyang, what do you say?"

"It's too hot here, let's go back to our lodgings to cultivate."

Zhao Yuyang's words were not those of a dullard, but rather a way to avoid disaster.

as predicted.

Upon hearing this, the Yun family members around them revealed disdainful smiles, no longer taking them seriously.

"A nouveau riche is just a nouveau riche; they have no guts whatsoever."

"We, who seek immortality and enlightenment, how can we give up our chance because of the heat? That would be truly useless."

"Let's go, let's explore this place together."

In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed, each going their own way to explore, leaving only Gu Qing and the others, along with another young man, behind.

Zhou An!

There seems to be a rift between him and the Yun family members.

"King Zhou, seeing you in person is worse than hearing about you."

"Gu Qing, I know you."

"Master Yan said that your chances of breaking through the barrier between life and death are the highest among this generation of disciples."

"Oh?"

Gu Qing was three parts surprised and seven parts wary. He didn't know why the other party was so optimistic about him; he himself wasn't that confident.

"Master Yan said that Master Gu's talent in weapon crafting is rare."

"With mastery of the art of crafting weapon blanks, he will surely become a person of immense wealth after joining the Sword Forging Manor."

"I am not very talented, but I would like to ask Master Gu to forge a suitable weapon for me." "Your Majesty Zhou is too kind."

“The matter of casting and smelting is easy to discuss. After all, I am a caster. As long as the reward is appropriate, I will definitely satisfy the Heavenly King.”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"In that case, Master Gu, there's no need to be so formal. The title of Heavenly King is something only mortals can bestow. If you use it too often, won't your peers laugh at you?"

"Just call me Zhou An."

"There's no need to call me Master, just call me by my full name."

"Very good."

"Very good."

This scene caused Zhao Yuyang to frown deeply, while Zhao Yushan and Zhao Danya were even more bewildered. The seemingly amicable scene was actually a subtle confrontation.

The other party repeatedly mentioned Yan Xianshi's evaluation of Gu Qing.

Actually, I was saying that my relationship with the Immortal Master is closer, which is why I know how I feel about you.

As one of only two specially recruited contestants in this year's competition.

Zhou An seemed to have used him as a point of comparison.

as predicted.

The next sentence mentions cultivation level.

"Gu Qing, I have a few prescriptions here that I have used before. They are very effective. I will give them to you today and make friends."

"You must know that your realm is the foundation of your life. Don't neglect the essential for the trivial and waste your talent."

Look at that! It's so prickly, it's just plain annoying.

“Brother Zhou, you flatter me. I entered the Dao later and have only been cultivating for three years. I am not as long-term as you. Please accept these medicines.”

"When the envoy from the Green Wood Mansion arrives, if you have any requests, brother, you might as well let your younger brother help you out. As for the weapon, I can also give you a 10% discount."

Gu Qing's counterattack was equally sharp.

Little brother! You haven't even passed the test yet. It's not a good habit to act like a teacher at this point. It's like popping champagne at halftime. Saying you're getting a 90% discount is an insult.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An indeed said no more, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

Zhao Danya looked around and finally understood.

"Master Gu, was he provoking us just now?"

"Provocation? It's more likely resentment and jealousy."

Zhao Yuyang spoke at this moment, a look of worry in his eyes.

“Master Gu, this person’s relationship with Master Yan seems unusual.”

"fine."

"No matter how unusual it is, he's not his son. Master Yan won't interfere in a minor argument."

"Your inner and outer three elements are about to be perfected. Let's strive to break through to the Grandmaster realm first. We've already wasted time. If we don't work hard now, we'll fall behind this year's newcomers."

"it is good."

"I'll go and cultivate now."

Gu Qing's words were true. Because of the mineral resources and spiritual materials, Fengming Prefecture would be delayed by at least three months. With the travel time in between, it would probably be half a year slower.

The cultivation conditions at Sword Forging Manor are completely different from those here.

Based on currently disclosed information.

One reason is the guidance from teachers.

The second is spiritual practice in a sacred place.

Similar to the "One Breath Rising Sun Strategy," which can assist in the cultivation of Grandmasters, there will be many more cultivation techniques and strategies in the Sword Forging Manor, making it the third type of cultivation technique and secret art.

The fourth category is medicinal diet and nourishment.

Most importantly, the fifth point is that it is said that the Sword Casting Manor has a kind of pill called Fetal Breathing Pill, which can strengthen the body's innate fetal breathing, and one pill can be obtained every month.

Taking it is equivalent to a year of arduous training for a Grandmaster-level martial artist.

It can be described as a potent medicine.

Therefore, the sooner one goes there, the sooner one can enjoy the cultivation resources of the Sword Forging Manor. How could one not yearn for it?
