Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 75 True Essence Flows Like a River (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes!)
"not bad."

It took me several days to learn the basics of the new spells I had acquired.

Regarding the Fire Devouring Technique, he initially attempted to devour and refine earth fire, and this went quite smoothly.

Although earth fire is not a rare fire of heaven and earth, it is a common spiritual fire, and its power is much stronger than the flames formed from Gu Qing's own true essence.

Devouring earth fire to cultivate the Fire Devouring Secret Technique is an excellent method.

After mastering all the new techniques.

Gu Qing went out to work and went to the Weapon Refining Hall for seclusion as usual, this time mainly to accumulate Weapon Dao Points and contribute to the sect.

And to collect some special spiritual materials.

They are preparing to target the Escape Shuttle and the artifacts used to imprison the spirit.

Sword Casting Pavilion.

This lineage is the Daoist tradition of the first ancestor of the Sword Forging Manor in Baiyue Mountain, who was once a famous sword-forging master in the Cangwu cultivation world.

Chen Yin was standing on the training ground, holding a bamboo staff.

He would occasionally strike the middle-aged man with a stern tone.

"Tuck in your stomach and lower your center of gravity."

The person being reprimanded was Huang Li.

After offering the rare maple leaf treasure, he was assigned by Elder Jiang to join the Sword Forging Pavilion and became a beginner.

He was admitted to the sect at a very late age, which naturally led to ridicule and ostracism from his fellow disciples.

These days are going to be tough.

If Gu Qing hadn't asked Chen Yin to help him get back on track, he might still be crying in some corner right now.

"Hey, what's your relationship with Gu Qing?"

Chen Yin spoke bluntly, but Huang Li's expression was quite complicated.

"Senior Brother Gu is my benefactor."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"Tsk tsk, fine, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Those people won't let you have an easy time. Hurry up and get moving."

"oh oh."

To be fair, Huang Li's aptitude is quite average, even less than Gu Qing's when he first started learning martial arts. At the current pace, the first step will take three years.

There are three more realms to come: Marrow Cleansing and Blood Transformation, Golden Muscle and Jade Meridian, and Innate Fetal Breathing. Each realm has its own minor challenges and bottlenecks that can drive him to the brink of ecstasy.

The probability of breaking through to the eighth rank before the age of fifty is extremely low.

But he persevered, getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs. As for the ridicule and bullying from his fellow disciples, he didn't take it to heart. After all, he had gotten in through connections, so it was only natural that he was looked down upon.

He takes this in stride.

Chen Yin helped Huang Li correct his movements, providing close guidance all day, and casually tossed him a booklet.

"then."

Huang Li was taken aback.

"This is?"

"Junior Brother Gu asked me to give this to you."

"The Mountain and River Qi Unification Technique? This..."

He said this should have been yours from the start, and with this cultivation method to build your foundation, you might still have a glimmer of hope to embark on the true path of cultivation.

This is not true.

Baiyue Mountain is a rare place in the Southern Wilderness where spiritual veins converge.

There are over a hundred seventh-grade spiritual veins alone, and there are even sixth-grade spiritual veins in the place where the patriarch secluded himself. The spiritual energy that naturally overflows from them can meet the cultivation needs of 100,000 disciples of Baiyue Mountain.

The Mountain and River Qi Unity Technique is a foundation-building technique that allows for faster cultivation in a favorable environment.

He began by breathing in spiritual energy to break through to the ninth rank minor realm.

How can it not be fast?

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."

"Thank Gu Qing, it has nothing to do with me."

"Yes!"

Huang Li's eyes hardened; perhaps he could forge a different future.

…………

…………

Three months later. Gu Qing's fourth year as a disciple of Baiyue Mountain quietly passed.

On this day, after refining the sixth Azure Sea Pill, the divine spring, which had expanded many times, finally reached its first critical point.

With a sudden burst of energy, the spring swelled rapidly, and the total amount of true essence steadily increased.

Until the point where true essence flows like a river.

Within the small Qi Sea, a fiery red river meanders around the Divine Spring, winding and turning in eighteen bends, a truly beautiful sight.

Like rain, like a spring.

Like a river, it nourishes springs.

Like the sea, enlightenment.

At this point, Gu Qing was only one step away from attempting to break through to the eighth-rank, upper-level, hundred-aperture spirit-gathering realm!
At that time, one will be considered a true cultivator who has achieved success in their practice.

After finishing the breathing exercises, he slowly stood up.

During this period, because I spent some time accumulating Qi Dao Points again, I only accumulated 120 points in terms of contribution, which is just enough to repay four Azure Sea Pills.

The second critical point for true essence is still a bit far off; four pills are definitely not enough. I can only use them for now, as long as I don't run out of pills.

Therefore, he went to Elder Yao Cunxiao.

The other party was already used to it and even speculated that Gu Qing was helping others exchange or selling privately.

Reselling cultivation resources from Baiyue Mountain does not violate any rules.

You can do whatever you want with what you've earned through contributions.

"Gu Qing, your new task is about to be assigned."

"Will Old Jiang arrange it for you, or should I arrange it for you?"

Gu Qing thought for a moment and then said.

"You can make the arrangements. Elder Jiang hasn't informed me yet."

"Alright."

“I was young once too, and I know what you young people are thinking. You don’t want to suffer in the mountains, do you? I’ll find you a good place to broaden your horizons.”

"..."

Gu Qing was speechless and choked with emotion before explaining.

"No, it's quite nice inside the temple. I enjoy ascetic practices."

"It would be even better if there were tasks that could be completed from inside the door."

However, Elder Yao plunged headlong into the sea of ​​scrolls, selectively ignoring his words and taking them as mere expressions of obedience.

"found it."

"The number one immortal city in the Southern Wilderness, the quest scrolls near Nanli City, I'll pick one that's a bit longer for you, so you can go and have some fun in between, hehe... You definitely need to remember to visit the Forget-Worry Tower, and tell me about your experience when you get back~"

Elder Yao…

"Give."

The other party's unyielding and self-righteous attitude left Gu Qing feeling helpless, so she quickly jotted down his name.

Gu Qing could only check the case file to see what exactly happened.

"Nanyue Kingdom - Taiyue Prefecture".

"Qian County, Qijia Town, is shrouded in an overwhelming aura of yin energy; evil spirits are about to wreak havoc..."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Elder Yao, can the sect know in advance what is about to happen?"

"How can it be!"

"This was sent by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau."

"The Southern Yue Kingdom was founded by Grandmaster Jiang, who was quite skilled in the art of star observation. He once used the fourth-grade Dao artifact, the Zhou Tian Star Chart, to reflect the territory of Southern Yue."

"Connecting with various virtual stars, the Imperial Observatory was skilled in physiognomy, including celestial phenomena, mountain phenomena, water phenomena, and human phenomena."

"Understanding feng shui, knowing yin and yang, mastering the art of formations, the secrets of heaven are not concealed, passed down uniquely from generation to generation."

"The ability to determine the celestial changes of the Southern Yue Kingdom through the projection of the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tu] was originally intended to stabilize the country and benefit the people."

"But Yin energy does not belong to the human world; it originates from the power of the netherworld."

"Once it occurs on a large scale, it will cause the area to be shrouded in dark clouds and filled with mournful winds, creating a scene as if the sky has collapsed, which will appear on the star map immediately."

"You brat, you should attend more classes. You don't know anything about the history of Baiyue Mountain. What kind of behavior is this!"

"Disciple, don't worry."

Gu Qing bowed her head and agreed, but she was curious in her heart.

Emotions are monitored, but unfortunately, they can only detect unusual celestial phenomena.
