Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 101 Second Seclusion
Even using the Devouring Divine Power, it would still take the time it takes to burn an incense stick to refine it.

The elixir that Master Wanyi presented was indeed suitable for him.

Preparations have been further completed.

Gu Qing exchanged all the spirit stones in his hand for contribution points in the weapon refining hall, and also exchanged three bottles of Flying Spirit Pills, as well as a lot of healing pills, fasting pills, and other items.

This can be considered as turning all the accumulation during this period into usable cultivation resources.

This means they're going to stay in the Abyss of Earthly Fiends for a long time.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, he asked Elder Yao for a long leave. He didn't know exactly how long it would last, and he would come out whenever he ran out of resources.

I greeted a group of friends.

Gu Qing then entered the Earthly Fiend Abyss, one of the Seventy-Two Caves of the Nine Nether Fiend Caves.

Having learned from his previous cultivation experience, he knew how to maximize the effectiveness of the Nine Nether Wind.

"It's just a little pain, I've survived being cut into a thousand pieces."

Be mentally prepared.

This time, Gu Qing didn't even bother to resist with his true essence. Instead, he used his newly awakened divine sense to dispel the Nine Nether Winds that had entered his body.

Guide this force to disperse and rush towards various acupoints in the meridians.

True essence was gathering strength on the side, ready to be unleashed.

The first successful attempt using the double-rush method still took five days.

Then... on the ninth day.

The twelfth day.

Day 14.

On the fifteenth day... after half a month, ten acupoints were opened. Gu Qing, who was only wearing a pair of pants, did not withdraw. He soaked the Yihe Pill in the Longquan Brew and circulated his Devouring Divine Power.

With his lips slightly parted, resembling a dragon sucking water, he drank the wine in the jade gourd in one gulp.

Not being in the Crimson Fire Abode, Gu Qing couldn't release the Gluttonous Head to refine it. After all, there were many seventh-grade cultivators in seclusion in the Earthly Fiend Abyss, and he could refine it using his own already mastered Devouring Divine Ability.

It's just a little slower, after all, it's only at the beginner level.

He would sit there for a whole day.

The newly opened ten orifices were filled with true essence, and the bloodstained body could withstand the attack for a longer time than before.

On the seventeenth day, the four orifices opened.

On the eighteenth day, the five orifices opened.

After two days and nine days, Gu Qing finally couldn't hold on any longer and withdrew from the Nine Nether Wind's range. The barriers of the acupoints in his body began to recover rapidly.

The results of more than half a month: a total of nineteen apertures.

murmured to himself.

"The longer you stay in the Nine Nether Winds each time you enter and exit, the easier it is to open your acupoints. Although the barriers of the acupoints will recover quickly after you exit, it seems that if you do it many times, one-tenth of their thickness will be permanently weakened?"

This is a good thing.

Furthermore, the most difficult-to-locate extra acupoints are becoming easier to open after being exposed to the Nine Nether Winds, which is extremely beneficial for long-term cultivation.

In addition to these benefits, the Nine Nether Wind also strengthens the body, refines true essence, and sharpens the mind.

After taking a few healing pills, Gu Qing took a Flying Spirit Pill while his body was recovering, making the most of every spare moment.

The Ziwei Qi-gathering Strategy is also constantly in operation.

By absorbing the Qi of the stars and nourishing the true essence of the hundred orifices, the effects are remarkable, and one's understanding and comprehension of it grow day by day.

after one day.

Enter again.

During the first month of his seclusion, Gu Qing opened 32 acupoints, showing significant progress compared to the last time.

In the second month, the improvement in his cultivation level allowed Gu Qing to endure the Nine Nether Wind for a longer period of time. Correspondingly, the number of acupoints he opened increased again, reaching 35.

Three months, four months...

The thrill of rapid cultivation growth, and the continuous increase in true essence brought by Yihe Pill and Longquan Brew, never stopped.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

…………

Sword Casting Pavilion.

Chen Yin pointed at Huang Li.

"The cultivation of the Grandmaster realm lies in embryonic breathing. Once enough is accumulated, the problem of body forging will arise."

"Junior Brother Gu said that the Mountain and River Qi Technique you cultivate can allow you to obtain an innate spiritual body through the Five Elements Body Forging Method. Have you thought about which path you want to take?"

"Earth element!" "I want to follow the path of the innate earth spirit."

"Earth Spirit Body..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yin felt somewhat envious, as he had also attended the lectures on the Inner and Outer Body Forging Method.

The External Five Elements Body Casting Method has more advantages, but the conditions for achieving it are more difficult, and it lacks universality. If only I had obtained the method of the Mountain and River Qi Technique back then.

"If it is confirmed, then we need to work even harder, as the attempt to forge an innate earth spirit body will also fail."

"Your age doesn't allow you to fail."

"I know."

…………

Snow City.

The Baiyue Mountain Immortal Talent Conference was held once again. Qi Qingyu stood at the back of the crowd with a solemn expression. He had tried to go to Xuefu City last year, but failed.

"I must succeed this year, Master Gu. I will catch up with you."

"Young brother, it's not so easy to enter a sect like Baiyue Mountain."

"There are requirements regarding age, qualifications, and temperament."

"See that stone tablet? If you can glean some secret technique from it, you'll have one foot in the door."

…………

Wanbaozhai.

Zhao Yuyang and Liu Ziyi were assigned to the same counter, and the former seized every spare moment to cultivate.

The latter, however, was resting his chin on his hand, propped up on the counter.

"Old Zhao, how long do you think it will take us to get out of this Wanbaozhai?"

Zhao Yuyang answered without opening his eyes.

"Three years."

“I know it’s three years, but it’s only a matter of a few months. Should we ask Senior Brother Gu? He’s done several missions before.”

"Need not."

"Could you do me a favor tomorrow? I need to go to the teleportation platform."

"Going to wait for your younger siblings again?"

"Correct."

"Sigh, that's true. I'll go with you."

Everyone has their own life, which doesn't revolve around anyone else, and it keeps moving forward, forward, and forward again! It can't be stopped, it can't be halted!

Huang Li wanted to break through to the eighth rank before he turned fifty so that he could search for his father and ancestors in the future.

Qi Qingyu wanted to join Baiyue Mountain and follow in Gu Qing's footsteps. In his life, that day was a profound realization of understanding destiny and the Dao.

Zhao Yuyang values ​​family ties more.

Every year, he would wait for his younger siblings at the teleportation platform, through wind and rain, through winter snow...

Year after year.

Spring and autumn, snow and rain, all turn in turn; a hundred flowers bloom and fade.

The white horse passes through the gap.

When I opened my eyes again, three years had passed.

The Abyss of Earthly Fiends, the Cave of Nine Netherworlds.

Having run out of clothes to change into, Gu Qing finally rose slowly from the gusts of wind. His tattered clothes could not conceal his dashing and spirited demeanor.

His treasure pouch was empty, but what he gained in return was this level of cultivation.

"Both acupoints of 618 are open, and the same applies to single acupoints of 52."

"12 of the remaining 50 extra acupoints have been opened, leaving 38."

He did some mental calculations.

Now that he can endure the Nine Nether Winds for three months without stopping, the solid barrier of his external acupoints has been permanently weakened by nine-tenths!

The remaining 38 locations, even without the help of the Nine Nether Wind.

It takes anywhere from a few months to a month for all the caves to be opened.

His true essence growth did not lag behind either. During his cultivation at the eighth-rank upper level, the Hundred Apertures Gathering Spirit Realm, he actually completed more than half of his seclusion in one session.
