Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 40 The Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth!
"Alright, I'll take this treasure. Junior brother, please keep it a secret."

"no problem."

Gu Qing thumped his chest loudly, looking every bit the righteous and chivalrous man.

The Enchanting Bell seems to have incredible effects, but in reality, it's quite weak. It's just a magic artifact with a single rune, the "Enchanting Bell," which comes from an evil alchemy technique.

This means it is effective for martial artists of the middle rank of the ninth grade and below.

Since acquiring the [Divine Machine Pattern], Gu Qing's exploration in this field has become increasingly extensive, while other weapon refiners study the combinations between weapon patterns.

He learned a little bit of everything and became more and more eclectic.

You can make fair-weather friends by catering to the tastes of rich young men.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Over the next few days, Gu Qing delivered the goods one after another, receiving a total of eighty Fetal Breathing Pills, plus the later customized Enchanting Bell and other small toys, totaling 300 catties of low-grade refining materials.

The shipment volume is extremely high.

This made Gu Qing realize that there are still many decent people in the world.

With so many materials, it's enough to forge magical artifacts using minimal resources.

They simply declined the task from the Weapon Refining Pavilion for the time being.

He secluded himself in the smelting room for a month. Since he provided the materials himself, he did not need to use the storage of the Refining Pavilion. He refined one item at a time and used it up.

The dust that is converted into particles is swept into the furnace to form the ash accumulation phase.

On the surface, he was in seclusion, studying weapon crafting techniques.

Many cultivators have done this, and the unremarkable Gu Qing peacefully secluded himself for a month without being disturbed.

After exhausting all the materials, they managed to forge just twenty magic artifacts with a single pattern, similar to the Enchanting Bell.

After all the conversions, a total of 1000 artifact points were obtained.

Converted into lifespan, it is 83 years. Currently, the lifespan can only be replenished to 210 years, so there are still 40 artifact points left to use.

The same reason.

While replenishing what he had lost, Gu Qing had also spent time and money. He still had thirty-six Fetal Breath Pills left, including his own savings.

It was all spent in one go, but it finally made up for the cost of the two lifespan calculations.

In return, one's vital essence becomes extremely abundant.

Every morning it is full of vigor, with the strength and vitality of a young person, as vibrant as a rising sun.

"I imagine that if I were to train my body in this state, the results would be excellent."

Gu Qing didn't want to delay any longer.

He completed a task that had been delayed for a month, doubling his work time and earning two months' worth of pay in just five days.

The Refining Pavilion is very humane in this respect; the more you work, the more you earn, without exception!
In this way, in addition to 24 fetal breathing pills.

He had 60 of them, which was more than enough for him to use for body forging.

This day.

They realized the time was ripe.

Gu Qing then went into seclusion again, vowing not to leave until he had forged an innate physique!
With all preparations in place.

In theory, there shouldn't be any problems, but Gu Qing overlooked one point.

The casting process often takes several months.

One cannot arbitrarily alter the innate fetal breathing midway because it is necessary to constantly maintain the body's transformation, which is equivalent to a complete cleansing and reshaping.

You can't sit still for long periods of time.

My whole body was tingling and itchy, and all my pores and orifices became more sensitive, as if my five senses were amplified, and my perception of the outside world was exceptionally clear and intense.

Sitting in a quiet room, it feels as if ants are crawling on my body.

I'm very unhappy.

After only three days, Gu Qing couldn't help but come out for some fresh air and sighed.

"This casting process is really grueling; you have to come out for some fresh air to refresh yourself."

and.

Another thing happened to him. Fire elemental energy entered his body!
As mentioned before, after perfecting the Fire Virtue Visualization Method, his physical talent in the fire element was significantly enhanced. Although he was not an eighth-grade true cultivator, he was able to sense the fire element spiritual energy.

It was also eager to burrow into his body.

Although he had already reached the innate embryonic breathing stage and was reversing the acquired from the innate, he was still a mortal body and could not absorb and refine spiritual energy. Without a way to enter, how could he?
To absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, one must forge an innate spiritual body.

This is why the ninth rank is also called Foundation Establishment.

All the spiritual practices we do are for laying a solid foundation.

Now that the body forging process has officially begun, it's like a welded iron door suddenly developing a crack, and the fire elemental energy that is close to Gu Qing begins to frantically drill into his body.

It made him feel itchy and painful, and his heart was burning with anger.

The direction of the casting has quietly undergone some unusual changes, which is by no means a bad thing.

Gu Qing could sense it.

As the body forging process progresses and the physical shell is reshaped, his affinity for fire-elemental spiritual energy gradually increases, which is equivalent to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth helping him cleanse his marrow and refine his bones.

It is very beneficial for improving qualifications!

It might even become a valuable asset, which is a good thing.

During this period of body forging, I was unable to cultivate or refine weapons. In order to find something to do, shift my attention, and relieve the pain in my body, I decided to do this.

Gu Qing then set his sights on the treasure, the Taotie head.

Last time, I hadn't finished unraveling the mystery; I only used its gluttonous stomach function for storing things, and I was still unsatisfied.

Now, his divine consciousness has grown stronger once again, undergoing a qualitative leap.

We must explore this further.

Ever since.

In the stillness of the night, Gu Qing once again focused his mind on the Niwan Palace, infusing it with his fiery, thread-like divine sense, sweeping over the storage area.

Explore the secrets of the black markings between the eyebrows of the Taotie beast's head.

It would have been better if he hadn't touched her. As soon as he did, Gu Qing's vision went black, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted without warning.

When I opened my eyes again, seven days had passed.

"It happened!"

During the period of unconsciousness, Gu Qing had not been able to restore her fetal breathing through internal energy cultivation, and the body-building process had almost come to a standstill. Upon regaining consciousness in time, Gu Qing quickly took a fetal breathing pill to hold on for the time being.

He regained his strength through exercise.

As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," this incident taught him that he should finish one task before moving on to another, otherwise he would not get any benefit.

Although there was a slight mishap, the outcome was good.

The black markings between the eyebrows of the Taotie beast's head are the Taotie's innate Dao markings, and also the manifestation of its devouring supernatural power.

Because the years that have passed are too long and there is no sufficient spiritual energy to nourish them, the Dao patterns are not complete, and are even severely incomplete.

"The Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

"The power I inherited only retains a small portion of the ability to digest all things. Even so, it is still an absolute trump card, and I cannot fully utilize it at my current level."

"Even if it's complete, it's useless..."

Despite her fluctuating mood, Gu Qing remained composed.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

He wasn't particularly concerned about this unexpected windfall; the Taotie beast's head technique was both an inheritance and a source of inspiration.

From then on, Gu Qing could either cultivate the Devouring Technique on his own or activate it through the Taotie Head. The former relied on his own cultivation, while the latter activated the power of the magical artifact.

You have a low lower limit but a high upper limit if you rely on yourself.

With the help of magical artifacts, the power is constant. As long as the minimum standard for activation is met, the unpredictable power of devouring can be used.

The reason it is said that only the digested part was inherited is because...

It's just...digestible but hard to swallow.

It's like giving Gu Qing a stomach that can digest everything, but only a small cherry mouth, so he can't eat too much, and his stomach can't hold too many spiritual things.
