The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

After the sect alliance competition, all the cultivators above the Jindan stage from each sect went to the vicinity of Shenyin Gate. The immortal gate and the devil land were about to go to war. At this time, it was the calm before the storm.

At this time, Huanyi Pavilion used the name of Guxing to publish a list of artifacts from the world of cultivation, most of which were items and works of Guxing himself.

Qing Huan Sword, Void Mirror, Duankong Disk, Nirvana Pearl, Dragon Soul Tea Spear, Qinghun Jian, Chuiyun Stick and Knife, Shuqing, Xiu Ze Sword, Zhaoyun Sword, Nine Star Formation Disk and Mouya Yue which was just unveiled in the Sect Alliance Competition.

From this we can see that in the world of cultivation, except for Gu Xing, no, now he should be called Hu Xingtong.

Apart from the spiritual weapons refined by Hu Xingtong which are above the best grade, many weapon refiners cannot reach this level at all. It can only be said that Hu Xingtong has opened up a new era in the world of cultivation with his own strength.

Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient combat readiness at the front line, the leaders of the four sects and four schools discussed together and asked Hu Xingtong to refine a few more spiritual weapons of the best quality, and required Hu Xingtong to practice in seclusion and not to come out until he reached the state of spiritual transformation.

This was exactly what Hu Xingtong wanted. After agreeing to it, he successively refined seven fifth-grade spiritual weapons five years later, and then informed everyone of the news of his retreat.

Thirteen years later...

The battle between immortals and demons has officially begun. The cause of the incident has to start when Zuo Ying regained his strength and took control of the demon clan again.

It is said that Zou Ying found a group of monsters who only knew how to kill from somewhere. At that time, the cultivation world was holding a sect alliance competition. At this time, Zou Ya was struggling to hold on in the face of his father's pressure and refused to give in. Until that day, Zou Ying stood on the Demon Palace with the Demon Lord's Order and demanded that Zou Ya abdicate and attack the Immortal Gate. Only then was Zou Ya driven off the stage by many elders.

After years of hard work, he was only judged by the elders as unworthy of his position. They said he was the leader of the demon clan but was on good terms with the immortal clan. Zuo Ya wanted to resist, but the Demon Lord's Order was like a sword hanging over his head. Without sufficient strength, he could not be recognized.

He had no choice but to abdicate, and Zuo Ying took power back and immediately sent troops to provoke war.

With the support of a small number of peace-loving demon cultivators, Zuo Ya successfully escaped the siege and came to Jita, the place where the Demon Lords of all generations were elected. There are eighteen floors here, and all the Demon Lords who held the Demon Lord Order in all generations were recognized by passing the level here. Jita is the symbol of the demon land and the belief of the demon cultivators. It is the only spiritual weapon in the entire cultivation world that exceeds the heavenly level except for the work of Guxing.

Zuoya stood under the Gita, looking up at this ancient and solemn building, feeling mixed emotions.

In order to stop Zou Ying's ambition and protect the peace between the demons and the cultivation world, it is necessary to obtain the power of Jitane. However, this is by no means easy. The demon lords of all generations have reached this point through countless hardships and dangers.

He took a deep breath. The road ahead was extremely difficult, but he had no way to retreat.

At the same time, the war between the cultivation world and the demon clan has broken out in full swing.

The demons had unearthed a horde of death-filled monsters from nowhere. These creatures possessed twisted forms, crimson eyes, and were shrouded in thick black fog. Wherever they passed, vegetation withered, lifeless. Their attacks, devoid of any spiritual energy, were incredibly ferocious. Ordinary spells and magical weapons left only faint marks on them, as if their bodies were not substantial, but rather a condensation of pure death and despair.

The allied forces were plunged into a bitter struggle, their prepared tactics and strategies rendered powerless in the face of this unprecedented foe. News of the crisis on the front lines spread like wildfire to the major sects, and the leaders of the four sects and four schools convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. However, facing such an unknown enemy, even the most knowledgeable Tianhun Sect felt helpless.

Only those geniuses are still holding on to the front line, and only those geniuses holding the artifacts on the artifact list have the capital to fight against the monsters.

But... the battlefield cannot be supported by these geniuses alone, we also need a way to restrain these monsters.

At this moment, a forgotten name suddenly emerged—Hu Xingtong. Though she had been in seclusion for years, her talent and achievements were like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the world of cultivation. Some suggested that perhaps, during her time in seclusion, Hu Xingtong had found a way to defeat these monsters, or at least that the ultimate fifth-grade spiritual weapons she had refined could prove useful at a crucial moment.

Therefore, an urgent secret letter was sent to Hu Xingtong's retreat, requesting her to come out early to save the world of cultivation. The letter was written with earnest words, describing the hardships and sacrifices of the frontline soldiers, and expressing endless hope for Hu Xingtong.

To everyone's surprise, just three days later, a reply arrived, accompanied by a strange wave of emotion. In the letter, Hu Xingtong didn't directly agree to leave her retreat, but instead shared a startling piece of news: her cultivation had improved significantly during her retreat. She had also been keeping an eye on external events and was working diligently to refine suitable weapons. She asked everyone to hold on for a while longer; she would resolve the situation upon her release.

Yes, Hu Xingtong has a prophet's system, so naturally he knows the content of the war in advance.

Although letting her retreat to improve her cultivation was a form of protection from her elders, it was also a disguised torture. She knew the pros and cons but was unwilling to sit idly by, so she would take some time to study other things during her retreat. Knowing that demonic energy could control those monsters, Hu Xingtong thought of the book of demonic cultivation that the system had rewarded her with.

Nightmare Soul Heart Sutra, if she could practice both immortal and demon cultivation and possess demonic energy, she would definitely be able to refine a magic weapon. If there was a magic weapon that could restrain the demon cultivators, then the battle situation could naturally be saved. Therefore, no one knew that when everyone was unaware, Hu Xingtong had already changed the place of retreat to the Wuji Volcano.

The five demons here, including Lingxian and the Four Seasons Demon, were all brought here by Hu Xingtong from the secret realm of the ice field. She needed their protection, and they had no aversion to demonic energy. Moreover, with the current state of opposition between immortals and demons, only by staying in the Wuji Volcano could Hu Xingtong's practice of the magic path be kept from being known and opposed by others, and she would have the opportunity to complete her practice faster.

However, in this case, Hu Xingtong would need to spend more time cultivating the demonic energy from scratch, and make sure that the demonic energy realm was equal to the spiritual energy realm. During these thirteen years, Hu Xingtong's demonic cultivation realm had only barely reached the Golden Core stage.

But fortunately, while practicing and refining the weapon, Hu Xingtong's magic weapon was still in its original form, and it looked like a banner.

At that time, Hu Xingtong had been in the world of cultivation for sixty-three years.

"Sister, will there really be no problem if Xingtong cultivates demonic energy and spiritual energy at the same time?" Qingyue looked at the person surrounded by black air in the magma, and felt a little worried.

In the past few years, Hu Xingtong has been refining weapons and practicing, and has basically never spoken to the few people on his own initiative. The most he has done is to give some pills to the monsters to improve their strength.

Now, not only has Hu Xingtong's strength improved, but the realms of the five demons have also stabilized at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It can be said that they are only one step away from reaching the peak state.
