The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Meanwhile, Gu Qing caught up with Lin Chuqing and changed the subject: "Sister Chuqing, how do I go to the Starry Sky Temple to become an apprentice?"

Lin Chuqing took a deep breath to calm her chaotic emotions. "The Starry Sky Temple is not in the Desolate Ancient Realm. It floats uncertainly in the void of the universe. Without the cultivation of the Void Dao Realm, it is impossible to cross the void."

"But you don't need to worry. The strange phenomenon you awakened has definitely been sensed by those old monsters. Moreover, the Star Temple has a magical artifact that can sense the Star Physique. They will definitely send someone to pick you up."

"How long will it take?" Gu Qing felt a chill run down his spine. How powerful must a sect that floats in the void of the universe be?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them celestial palaces and immortal sects.

"Hmm..." Lin Chuqing pondered, secretly transmitting her voice to her master. After receiving the answer, she spoke.

"Uncertain, but it won't take more than three months."

After all, the distance is too far, and it's impossible to pinpoint Gu Qing's exact location; searching will take some time.

Two months have passed since Gu Qing awakened the Zhou Tian Star God Body, and the people from the Star God Palace are probably coming soon.

Gu Qing only needs to wait patiently.

Lin Chuqing shared some knowledge about the cultivation world with Gu Qing before bidding farewell.

Her mind was in turmoil; she couldn't accept that Lin Chen liked her and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"This is a mother-child communication jade pendant. No matter how far apart we are, we can communicate." Lin Chuqing took out a crystal-clear jade pendant.

"Yes, take care, Sister Chuqing. I will definitely come to find you." Gu Qing put away the jade pendant, thought for a moment, and gave her a jade pendant as well.

This is a jade slip that records the lineage of the Yin-Yang Great Dao Song Technique.

The martial arts techniques and skills rewarded by the system are all recorded on jade slips, and can also be directly activated.

"This is?"

Lin Chuqing scanned the area with her divine sense, and her expression changed slightly.

With her keen eyesight, she could naturally tell that this was an extremely profound and unfathomable technique.

"Put it away quickly," Gu Qing said seriously.

"Okay." Lin Chuqing responded, looking at the tall and handsome Gu Qing, her eyes were only on Gu Qing's figure.

"Tsk tsk, this couple is so cute!"

He Ni, hiding in the void, watched with great interest as the two exchanged intense glances.

She has no other hobbies in her life, except for liking to be a couple.

Seeing sweet couples makes me feel like I'm in a sweet romance myself, instantly making me feel millions of years younger.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. Now that you've exchanged tokens of love, come with me."

A figure high in the sky made a mocking sound.

You can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you want to win them over.

She was relieved; thankfully, she had sensed that Lin Chuqing's mood was off earlier and had taken a few extra glances out of concern.

She sighed deeply, thinking that young people are just like that, they have such a temper and don't consider the consequences at all.

"Master, you're spying again." Lin Chuqing blushed and wished she could disappear into the ground.

Embarrassed and annoyed, she rode away on auspicious clouds, much like a fairy fleeing in disarray.

He Ni immediately chased after her, but after a short while, she turned back.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing broken sword, Gu Qing's expression changed. Holding the Tiger Soul Halberd, a sense of crisis rose in his heart.

Although the broken sword did not exhibit any extraordinary phenomena and its surface was covered with cracks, it gave him an extreme sense of deadly danger.

"You need not be nervous, I am now just a remnant soul."

He Ni's voice was high-pitched and ethereal, like celestial music.

"A remnant soul? What business does the senior have with you?"

Gu Qing became even more nervous upon hearing the word "remnant soul".

After all, in the cultivation world, it is common for remnant souls to possess talented individuals.

Fortunately, with his godfather by his side, he did not detect any malice from the broken sword; otherwise, Gu Qing would definitely have left first.

"You have good aptitude. Would you be interested in becoming my disciple?"

He Ni's voice remained ethereal and otherworldly, but Gu Qing detected a hint of tension in it.

What is she nervous about?

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said with a troubled expression.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but unfortunately I already have a master."

The so-called apprenticeship is just an excuse; the underlying meaning of rejection is quite clear.

He Ni rolled over, roaring inwardly.

I was rejected again.

She never imagined that she would be rejected one day, and by two men on the same day.

Back then, she was incredibly powerful and unparalleled, commanding the respect of all immortals and reigning supreme over all the heavens and realms.

Countless geniuses and prodigies knelt before her door, but she didn't even glance at them.

"Forget it, ignorance is no excuse. This kid must not know my capabilities, that's why he refused."

He Ni calmed herself down, trying her best to remain detached, her voice ethereal and otherworldly.

"Do you know who I am? I can teach you the supreme swordsmanship and the method to become an immortal, and take you to ascend to the immortal realm."

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Although you have bestowed upon me unparalleled blessings, but..."

"I reject."

Gu Qing refused decisively.

He Ni's offer was incredibly tempting; if he didn't have his godfather by his side, he would definitely have accepted the position without hesitation.

But with his godfather around, he has no shortage of inheritance.

The key question is, if you keep the remnant soul by your side, what secrets will he have left?

Besides, he doesn't practice swordsmanship.

"Good good!"

He Ni was so angry that she ran away immediately.

Although both of them were very suitable to be her successors, she, a dignified sword immortal, disdained to beg others to become her disciples.

Gu Qing may not be willing, but there are plenty of others who are.

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this senior was indeed a highly respected figure.

He only wanted to find a successor and had no intention of possessing another's body.

Phew~!

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Gu Qing's lips twitched when he saw the broken sword return.

"Young man, I've discovered a secret realm here, containing a sacred herb." If you become my disciple, I'll take you in to pick it.

She didn't say the last sentence; this was her last act of stubbornness.

"A holy medicine?"

Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat. A sacred medicine—that was something even those at the Divine Fire Realm would fight over.

Does this remote, impoverished place really have a miraculous medicine?

It's possible that it is, after all, the main character appeared here.

“That’s right.” He Ni said nervously.

"Congratulations, senior."

Gu Qing paused for a moment, then gave up.

The elixir is good, but keeping it a secret is more important.

Moreover, he has a golden gourd, so the holy medicine is not very important to him.

"You kid..."

He Ni was furious. How could these two be so stubborn? They couldn't even be tempted by the sacred medicine.

she left.

Then I came back.

"Kid, I have good news for you. I have retrieved that sacred herb, and I will soon be able to reconstruct my physical body."

He Ni's tone was full of resentment.

Her physical body, reshaped by the sacred medicine, has a very weak foundation, and she can only recover to the Saint Realm cultivation level. It will be almost impossible for her to recover to the level of her previous life in the future.

Unfortunately, neither of them was willing to become his apprentice.

She had no choice but to make do.

"..."

What kind of good news is this?

"How about we make a deal?" He Ni asked hesitantly, as if she were making a decision.

"What deal?"

"My longsword is an innate spiritual treasure called the Qiankun Sword. It contains the Qiankun World, and I will cultivate inside it."

"I can temporarily hand over control of the Qiankun Sword to you, and I can also protect you. In return, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can help me take revenge."

Is there such a good thing?

He was allowed to use the innate spiritual treasure for the time being, and was also given a super strong bodyguard as a bonus.

As for revenge, as others have said, it's something that happens when there's an opportunity. In other words, for him to become stronger than He Ni's enemy is just a matter of course.

Only the main character gets this kind of treatment, right?

Has his luck already been elevated to the level of a protagonist?

“Teach me the method of control first,” Gu Qing said.

"it is good!"

As He Ni finished speaking, a beam of light shot into Gu Qing's mind—this was the restriction controlling the Qiankun Sword.

"System, is this restriction real? Can it stop her from spying?" Gu Qing hurriedly asked the system.

It's true. As long as you control the restriction, she can't spy on the outside world without your permission. However, there's a drawback: she can withdraw the restriction at any time.

"That's no problem."

He can earn money by taking advantage of He Ni for free every day, since he doesn't have to pay anything.

He suffered no loss whatsoever after the other person left.

“Then it’s settled.” Gu Qing said to He Ni.

"Well, you should work hard at your cultivation. If you cannot meet my expectations, our deal will be terminated."

He Ni sighed inwardly. Just as she had expected, the two of them were unwilling to become disciples because they had their own extraordinary inheritance and did not want their secrets to be known by others.

But how can the legacy of the two of them compare to that of hers?

They really lost the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

"Of course. By the way, I still don't know your name?"

“He Ni”.

"Then I'll call you He Ni from now on. Calling you 'senior' sounds too formal."

"Suit yourself. I'm going to reshape my physical body now, so don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"it is good."

Gu Qing talked with her for a while before sealing off the Qiankun Realm and carrying the sword on his back.

This was He Ni's request; the Qiankun Sword needed to draw spiritual energy from the dimensional space to power her cultivation, and it couldn't be stored inside her body.

"You little rascal, you've finally fallen for my trick. No matter how cunning you are, you'll still have to drink my foot bath water."

Seeing that her scheme had finally succeeded, He Ni cursed triumphantly, but when she thought about what she was going to do next, she immediately fell silent.

She murmured, "You forced me to do this. Since neither of you is willing to become my disciple, I'll just have one myself."

"Once I regain my physical body, I'll seduce you, deceive your heart and body, then run away with your child, leaving you with nothing but your wife and child."

"The offspring born from the Innate Dao Body and the Celestial Star Divine Body is the Innate Star Dao Body. I will pass on all my life's knowledge to this offspring, so that you will not have to acknowledge me as your master..."

Gu Qing, who was completely unaware of this, took out the communication jade and glanced at it, and was somewhat surprised to find that Lin Chen and his son had actually been crippled.

They knelt down way too quickly!

It was over as soon as the protagonist's halo was gone.

But this is for the best, it saves him the trouble of taking action.

After sending a few messages to the Grand Elder, Gu Qing randomly found a hilltop, took out the array plate, and quickly set up the array.

"System, what kind of treasure is this?"

Gu Qing took out the door panel and the giant sword and asked the system for advice.

It is a complete piece of Reincarnation Iron Mother.

"Is it the divine iron mother used to forge divine artifacts?"

Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and she pressed for an answer.

【Yes! 】

"Tsk, any treasure that catches the protagonist's eye is definitely not an ordinary item."

First came the golden gourd, then the Iron Mother of Reincarnation.

If it weren't for him intercepting the deal, Lin Chen's cultivation level would definitely have advanced by leaps and bounds, allowing him to make a remarkable comeback.

"How do I refine it into a magical artifact?"

Gu Qing touched the giant sword on the door panel, wanting to forge it into a halberd as soon as possible.

[No refining is needed; the complete divine iron possesses a spirit. If the host can gain its recognition as their master, the treasure will be formed automatically.]

How does one recognize a master?

[After a successful blood oath, the host needs to refine the essence, energy, and spirit within the vessel.]

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing immediately cut her finger, letting the blood drip onto it.

The runes on the giant sword on the door panel lit up instantly, emitting bursts of chilling dark light.

"The recognition of the master has been successful!"

Following the system's method, Gu Qing channeled his essence, energy, and spirit into the giant sword.

At the same time, imagine the shape of the weapon you want.

Om~!

The giant sword on the door panel erupted with runes, flashing with dark light, conveying the meaning of life and death, and frantically devouring Gu Qing's essence, energy, and spirit.

After a while, the divine halberd took shape, measuring 2.2 meters in length, with two crescent-shaped halberds and a blood groove at the tip.

It was the shape Gu Qing wanted, resembling a science fiction artwork.

"It devoured most of my essence and spirit, how come it's only a Yellow-Rank magic weapon?"

Gu Qing's face was deathly pale, as if she had lost too much blood.

Fortunately, Lin Chen did not perform the blood oath ceremony, otherwise he would definitely have been drained to dust.

[Host, do you have some misunderstanding about divine iron? Only those at the Divine Fire Realm can forge divine artifacts using divine iron, and even then, it requires thousands of years to nurture them.]

[The reason the host can refine a Yellow-Rank magic weapon is because the host's blood energy is like a vast ocean, and the source of life is vigorous and abundant.]

[If an ordinary Xuan Dan realm cultivator were to refine it, they could at most produce a low-grade spiritual weapon.]

"I see."

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Gu Qing's mind instantly conjured up the famous scene of the protagonist wielding a low-grade spiritual weapon and cutting down someone else's magical treasure.

Shaking his head, Gu Qing stored the divine halberd in his dantian to nurture it, and silently recited the incantation.

"System, I want to draw a lottery."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large spinning wheel appeared in Gu Qing's mind, its pointer spinning rapidly.

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Immortal-level cultivation technique, the Undying Heavenly Art.]

"The Undying Heavenly Art? Is that ruthless person's technique...?"

Gu Qing silently recited "receive," and a vast sea of ​​memories flooded his mind.
