Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 105 The Trail of Fallen Clouds
"In half a month, this is the mission file. On the surface, you are here to exorcise demons."

"You can discuss the specific arrangements with Jiang Xi'er. This is her communication talisman."

"it is good."

Gu Qing glanced at the file and felt it was just an ordinary demon-slaying mission, nothing special, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the purpose of this trip was to seize the strange fire.

So he went about his business while waiting for Jiang Xi'er to contact him, but fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye and the communication talisman made no sound.

It was almost time to leave.

They could only pack up, exchange for some travel necessities, and fly towards the entrance of the mountain gate.

"What are you doing..."

At the entrance to Baiyue Mountain.

The disciples would stop from time to time, seemingly attracted by the beautiful scenery, but their eyes were actually glancing at the people on the roadside.

She was a young woman in the prime of her life, wearing a light purple gauze dress, with skin as white as snow, and was beautiful and charming.

Her waist was slender and delicate, as smooth as autumn water.

Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, gently tied back with a silver ribbon. She possessed exquisite features, remarkable grace, and was exceptionally beautiful.

Her long, fair legs were glossy and covered with black silk slippers, and she wore purple brocade shoes with red ropes and gold bells hanging from them.

If only those cool eyes could hold a little more emotion.

Even the likes of Wang Zhaojun and Xi Shi, who were admired by the world, were described as having the beauty to make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and to make the moon hide and flowers blush.

Her aloof demeanor gives her an imposing presence, making it difficult to approach her; she is someone to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

"Jiang Xi'er?"

Gu Qing's voice rang out from above. He looked at the straight, upright fir tree by the roadside with a puzzled expression, unsure of what to do.

"Jiang Xi".

The woman gracefully flew up and landed on Gu Qing's Escape Shuttle, looking at him calmly.

"Okay, Gu Qing."

Gu Qing didn't say much. Xi'er's ending tone was probably added by an elder, and the other person didn't want to hear it. Their relationship wasn't that close, and it was easy to feel offended by adding a seniority to her.

Since the rendezvous went smoothly, Gu Qing took out a map and headed towards the Luoyun Mountains.

This journey took nearly a month.

The Luoyun Mountains are considered a dangerous place in the Southern Yue Kingdom. Due to their abundant spiritual energy and vast area, they are prone to breeding wild demons, ghosts, and other evil creatures.

Correspondingly, rare and precious natural treasures also emerged in abundance.

It is an open resource-producing area. The surrounding forces have jointly established a cultivation market at the entrance of the mountain range, which is called [Luoyun Market].

The Gongsun family of Yanbo Lake held 60% of the power and resources, making it their territory.

In recent years, the towns and villages around the Luoyun Mountains have been severely attacked by demons, and the Gongsun family has been unable to deal with it in time.

So they let Baiyue Mountain do it for them.

In name, both the Dihong Jiang Clan and the Baiyue Mountains can be considered the masters of this land, and all sects and families are similar to feudal lords who have been granted land and titles.

I only ask them for help when I can't handle things myself.

However, in some cases, Baiyue Mountain can intervene forcefully.

The mission I took this time was in a place called Tianjiazhuang, located at the northern corner of the Luoyun Mountains. It was more or less related to cultivators, otherwise I wouldn't have settled here.

News of the strange fire was limited to the Jiang and Xia families.

To avoid leaks, before the results are released, people usually accept a demon-slaying mission to get close to the area. How to do it depends on individual preferences.

On the Dunyuan Shuttle.

Jiang Xi'er had a "keep away" look, but Gu Qing didn't care. Judging from her aura strength, she was at the eighth-grade upper level, at the level of gathering spiritual energy in a hundred apertures, but she was still some distance away from perfection.

Theoretically speaking, she is five or six years older than Gu Qing.

"Miss Jiang, do you have a plan in mind regarding the strange fire?"

"some."

Jiang Xi nodded slightly and took out a box of pills to show Gu Qing. "Everything is ready. Find it and refine it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask a question.

"Just two steps?"

"correct."

Jiang Xi looked at Gu Qing with a puzzled expression, as if he were talking about eating and drinking. Was this reasonable?

It's like someone telling you, "Become an immortal? Cultivation and becoming an immortal are just these two steps. You can give it a try."

No wonder Master Wanyi asked him for help.

Besides being the right age, he is also the kind of person who is quite thoughtful, something Elder Yao, who has known him for many years, is well aware of.

It's hard to say whether Jiang Xi's personality is naive or simply arrogant.
He sighed slightly to himself.

Having gotten used to interacting with a normal person, it's a bit strange to suddenly encounter someone who isn't normal.

Silently moving away from the fir tree, I sat at the tail of the Escape Shuttle.

Gu Qing separated a wisp of his divine sense to control the direction, and spent the rest of the time focusing on the extra meridians and acupoints in his body. After being blown by the Nine Nether Wind for a long time, the barriers of the acupoints were permanently weakened.

Perhaps he can break through to the Perfect Realm before vying for the Strange Flame.

This will give you a greater chance of success.

During the month-long journey, the two were said to be teammates, but in reality, their conversations consisted of nothing more than calling each other's names; it was incredibly quiet.

When he opened up 12 acupoints again, only the last 6 acupoints remained.

We've arrived at Tianjiazhuang.

"Walk."

The entire Tianjiazhuang village has only a few thousand people in total, and everyone knows each other.

The arrival of the two finally brought joy to the village chief, who had been eagerly anticipating their arrival.

"Are you two immortal masters esteemed disciples of Baiyue Mountain?"

The village chief, Mr. Tian, ​​is already in his seventies, and his willingness to brave the cold wind to greet us shows his sincerity.

Gu Qing didn't presume to be arrogant. He helped the bowing old man up, showed him his token, and said...

"Yes, we have a general understanding of the situation in Tianjiazhuang."

"Old man, could you describe what the monster looks like?"

The mission in Tianjiazhuang is simply a demon-slaying mission.

Once the target is found, killing them is the end of it; there's no need for investigation. After the mission is complete, he can then focus on the strange fire. He still has that much responsibility.

Previously, we lacked the skills and focused primarily on survival.

Now that we have the ability, we can no longer be perfunctory.

Speaking of which.

The old man shuddered, his words tinged with lingering fear.

"It's a big bird!"

"Its head is like a snake's, with many, many branches. Tiezhu saw it with his own eyes when he went hunting. It not only ate a big worm, but also ate all the dried meat that he had left in the mountain hut."

“A month ago, it came to Tianjiazhuang and ate three people before flying away. Many people saw it; it was more than three zhang tall.”

"No one in the village has died during this time; they all hide in the cellars at night. But several children have gone missing. Immortal Master, those children are probably..."

There are more ills than good luck.

The old man didn't say it aloud, but you could understand the meaning.

One zhang and three meters. Three zhang is a giant demon bird that is ten meters long, with a snake-like head and many, many more roots.
Gu Qing pondered what it was. He had dealt with relatively few demons, or rather, only once, which was a giant snake!

It's unclear whether the old man's description of the appearance was exaggerated or distorted.

"Traveling at night..."

"Junior Sister Jiang, do you have any guesses?"
