Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 23 The Arrival of the Envoy from the Aoki Mansion

There was no room for negotiation; everyone had no choice but to agree.

Who can blame them for their high status and strong power?

Even though they sensed a hidden opportunity, they couldn't voice it. Each with their own thoughts, they left the Beast Tomb.

Gu Qing did hesitate.

He was able to discover the secrets of the high platform, but Master Yan could not. This shows that the other party had not even entered the realm of spiritual refinement, and his Niwan Palace was still undeveloped.

This means that the cultivation of the eighth rank is temporarily unrelated to the upper dantian, at least not to the Yan family.

Perhaps he will have the opportunity to seize the chance within the high platform of the tomb.

Therefore, I will not say anything more.

Let's wait and see.

After returning to their place of cultivation, everyone discussed it and speculated about what benefits Master Yan would gain from it, except for Zhao Yuyang and the others.

After greeting Gu Qing, he returned to the stone house to cultivate, appearing indifferent and of excellent character, unmoved by external things.

Three days later.

A messenger came from the surface with a message that the envoy from the Aoki Mansion had arrived.

Good heavens, here it comes.

They should have arrived half a month ago; I wonder what happened.

This incident led Master Yan to emerge from the tomb of the strange beasts.

His face was very unpleasant, and he went out to greet them while cursing. He was obviously going to receive them outside, and he even took Zhou Antong with him.

This incident caused Gu Qing to halt his cultivation breakthrough and prepare to explore the tomb.

at the same time.

In the largest room of the Yun Clan's stone house, the core disciples of the Yun Clan gathered together this year. The leader was none other than the only Grandmaster-level expert, Yun Jiuge, who was only seventeen years old.

His face was both childish and arrogant.

"Young Master Jiuge, Immortal Master Yan has gone out to deal with the envoys from Qingmu Mansion, and Zhou An went with him. You are the strongest among them now. Shall we go and explore that strange beast tomb?"

Yun Jiuge frowned, deep in thought.

"This is a rare opportunity. If we wait for him to come back, whatever is in the tomb, we will definitely not get any."

"But if we really obtain some treasure, can we hold onto it securely?"

"This……"

The son of the Yun family, who had offered the suggestion, lowered his head and remained silent.

But then he changed the subject.

"Mu Feng's words make sense. Regardless of whether we find anything or not, let's take this opportunity to go in and explore. If we find nothing, we'll pretend nothing happened. If we do find any treasures, we'll bring them back to the family as soon as possible, and then Master Yan won't dare to make things difficult for us."

"Yes, we will follow Young Master Jiuge's arrangements."

"Alright, you guys go and keep an eye on those four from the Zhao family, make sure they don't discover our movements."

"it is good!"

"set off!"

Time was of the essence, and no one knew how long Master Yan would be gone; if things went smoothly, he might be back in no time.

Gu Qing thought the same thing.

Therefore, while Yun Jiuge was still discussing it, he set off, his destination clearly set on the high platform of the Beast Tomb.

Come in again.

Gu Qingxin felt a chill run down her spine, because the thick layer of bone ash on the high platform had disappeared. She didn't know whether it had been collected or cleaned up by Master Yan.

If there really are records of some divine skills or secret techniques on the high platform.

It's likely that it has already been dug up.

With a light leap, I arrived at the high platform and discovered the unusual spot, which turned out to be completely unchanged.

"strangeness."

Closing his eyes, Gu Qing squatted down and used his newly acquired divine sense to perceive the uneven surface once again.

This time the distance was close enough that it felt like a rubbing.

He imprinted all the invisible characters into his divine sense. It was indeed an article. Having gained something, he did not destroy the place, lest Master Yan discover the clues.

"The strange phenomenon I sensed a few days ago is only in this one place. There shouldn't be anything else. It's best to leave now." Just as Gu Qing was about to retreat.

His weak divine sense seemed to have touched something, and dense Dao patterns suddenly appeared on the high platform. Just one glance made one dizzy, as if they contained the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.

A phantom white bone beast head, about the size of a thumb, emerged from the high platform and plunged into Gu Qing's Niwan Palace between his eyebrows. His consciousness momentarily dazed for a moment before returning to normal.

"what?!"

"hiss---"

Feeling his spiritual energy severely depleted, Gu Qing stumbled out, turned into the mine tunnel, and headed towards the stone house.

It just so happened that the mine tunnel from which Yun Jiuge and the others came was different.

By a twist of fate, they arrived at the same time almost simultaneously, but... even if they had investigated first, they wouldn't have discovered anything.

Yun Jiuge and the others rushed into the tomb.

They quickly began searching.

Not long after they started, the entire tomb began to shake and seemed about to collapse, which frightened them so much that they quickly ran out.

Fortunately, they acted quickly and no one fell behind.

This greatly angered Yun Jiuge, who thought that someone from her clan had triggered some kind of mechanism, and she questioned him fiercely.

"who is it?"

"Who touched this thing?! I told you not to touch anything you find, who?!"

We all look at each other.

No one knows who messed up and caused the problem. This underground space wasn't particularly large to begin with, and the collapse of the Beast Tomb caused a section of the surrounding mine tunnels to collapse as well.

Even the stone houses used for spiritual practice felt a strong tremor.

A little dazed, Gu Qing took advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted by the tremors to slip back into his stone house, only to rush out of it in surprise.

His pale face made him look genuinely frightened.

After all, this is underground. If a collapse were to occur, they would all be mortals and buried here forever. It is normal for them to feel afraid.

Yun Jiuge and the others ran back from the direction of the tremor.

Seeing Gu Qing and the others looking at him in surprise, he didn't know how to explain. It wasn't him who did it? But the facts were there, and it was too late to explain.

Who believes it!
Even he himself thought that it was caused by his clansmen touching some mechanism, and that the situation was already settled in front of everyone.

A moment later, the tremors stopped.

Fortunately, the mine tunnels that were developed for mining Phoenix Flame Gold were specially reinforced, and apart from some falling rocks, no collapses occurred.

The total amount of Phoenix Flame Gold mined, 100,000 jin, is only about the size of three cars stacked up. It's just that the gold is scattered, which is why it took so long to mine.

We're already halfway through the project, and this has happened again.

Master Yan, along with Zhou An and an old man with white hair, rushed in from the mine tunnel. They must be the envoys from the Green Wood Mansion.

All eyes turned to Yun Jiuge.

Gu Qing kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything else, making it quite obvious who was behind it all.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yun Jiuge quickly explained.

"Master Yan, let me explain."

"Humph."

“Young Master Yun, what you did was unethical. Forget about the explanation; I will seek compensation from your Yun family.”

"This……"

"Do you have any objection?"

"No, this disciple wouldn't dare."

The old man who came from Qingmu Mansion stroked his beard calmly. He was not accompanied by any of the talents recruited by Qingmu Mansion this year, which showed that they had already left.

"Junior Brother Yan, we won't be able to visit this strange beast tomb."

"Look at Feng Yanjin, he's not bad either. I owe you a favor for taking Zhou An in this time."

"Senior Brother Li, come with me. These little brats are getting more and more unruly. Zhou An, you should go back to your cultivation."

"Yes."
