Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 232 Jiang Xi'er's Desolate Blood Holy Medicine
If you want something simple, Gu Qing has a very straightforward, cultivator-like method: hide your identity and kill them directly.

However, you can't do that if you want to continue living in Baiyue Mountain.

The other party dared to kill him because their background allowed them to do so.

However, he would also pay a heavy price. He could kill people from both families out of revenge for the reason why the Situ and Bai families joined forces to attack him. It would be justified to reveal this.

But we must not kill Master Fuliu.

"The Twenty-Nine Ancestors..."

A few days later, at the Pill Palace.

Regardless of their circumstances, the time to resolve the issues would only be after the Ascension Ceremony, so Gu Qing sent his visiting cards in advance.

It has been more than 30 years since we parted ways at Luoyun Mountain.

They were even brought together by Elder Yao and Elder Jiang Yuan back then.

Although the matter didn't work out, the friendship remains.

"Senior Brother Gu, it's been a long time."

Under the pavilion.

A stunningly beautiful fairy, tall and graceful, stood there waving at him, wearing light purple silk stockings, a snow-patterned cloud-patterned shoulder cape, and a flowing fairy dress.

Jiang Xi'er is very beautiful. If Gu Qing said he wasn't interested, it would seem hypocritical of him. Men are always drawn to beautiful things.

Previously, I was pressured by my cultivation level and felt a sense of urgency, so I dared not stop or rest, and deliberately avoided many things.

Now that they have the confidence, they still haven't met the right person. Who wouldn't like the life of a perfect couple? There are plenty of examples in Baiyue Mountain, mostly people who have no hope for the path of cultivation and are tired of life, as well as some playboys looking for fun.

The most common documents made at the Ritual Hall are marriage contracts and divorce contracts.

"Junior Sister Xi'er, it's been a long time."

The two sat facing each other, and Jiang Xi'er poured tea and said with a smile.

"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Guardian Elder of the Weapon Refining Hall yet. It's not too late to congratulate you now, is it?"

"I also congratulate Junior Sister Xi'er on breaking through to the seventh rank, becoming a True Person, and taking up the post of Elder Grass Pill in the Pill Hall."

The two were polite to each other, but they were actually quite unfamiliar with each other and needed time to get used to the new feeling.

In the Pill Hall, the elders are also divided into three levels.

There are three levels: Grass Elixir, Cloud Elixir, and Precious Elixir. The positions of real power are generally held by elders of the latter two levels, who need to have a stronger attainment in alchemy.

Her master, Master Wanyi, had been stuck at the seventh rank for some years, similar to Lian Chutiangong's previous situation. In alchemy, there are also methods to condense essence, energy, and spirit based on skill level.

However, Master Wanyi is still far from perfect. He can only barely refine some sixth-grade treasure pills for recovery, and he can't produce treasure pills that can improve cultivation. He's always just a little bit short.

Jiang Xi'er is a little younger than Gu Qing, but not by much.

Breaking through to the seventh rank was actually only achieved in this year, and it was also a Dao seed with the potential to reach the sixth rank.

"You came to see me this time because..."

"I asked Junior Sister Xi'er for help. I recently went back to Yan Kingdom and got some Wild Blood. I wanted to refine it into a sacred medicine, so I asked Junior Sister for help as soon as possible."

Jiang Xi'er nodded: "The refining difficulty of the Desolate Blood Sacred Medicine is not high. It mainly depends on the quality of the Desolate Blood. What grade are the materials you used, Senior Brother?"

Gu Qing: "It mainly consists of the essence blood of low-level wild beasts, with some mid-level ones as well."

Jiang Xi'er: "No problem, leave it to me."

Gu Qing nodded and took out a storage bag containing about three hundred portions of essence blood. A mid-level wild beast would have about fifty portions of essence blood, while a low-level wild beast would only have ten portions.

Three hundred portions isn't a lot, but it'll be enough for him to use for a while.

In addition, there are a thousand spirit stones.

This is the price for purchasing auxiliary drugs and contract manufacturing. Based on personal relationships, all the favors owed to Jiang Xi'er and her master, Master Wanyi, have been repaid.

Even Elder Jiang Yuan gave him the Burning Gold Fire as compensation. He didn't actually owe him anything.

Seeing the spirit stones in the storage bag, Jiang Xi'er didn't say anything, but just smiled and said to him.

"Senior brother is still so principled."

Gu Qing: "Of course, this matter is settled, I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Xi'er: "Wait a minute, there's something I'd also like to ask my senior brother's opinion on."

"But it doesn't matter."

Jiang Xi'er: "After breaking through to the seventh rank, I have completed my apprenticeship. My master and Grandpa Jiang Yuan hope that I can represent the twenty-ninth ancestor and discuss the Dao with the people of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect of the South Sea at the Ascension Assembly."

"I heard that my senior brother is going to fight in place of Patriarch Lian Chu. I wonder if you can help me with some troubles during the alchemy competition?"

Gu Qing: "Tell me more about it."

"it is good."

…………

…………

After leaving the Pill Hall, Gu Qing thought of Master Wanyi again. His impression of this person was simple: he was Jiang Xier's master, and later Master Fuliu had a feud with him, which made him somewhat indifferent to this master-disciple faction.

As for asking him for help, what could a daughter possibly need?

It's nothing more than matters of marriage.

Since the failed blind date with Gu Qing, Elder Jiang Yuan has completely severed ties with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has started arranging marriages for Jiang Xi'er again. Marriage alliances are the mainstream in the Southern Wilderness.

This is also closely related to the fact that powerful clans and aristocratic families occupy the ruling class.

Master Wanyi can drive away Gu Qing, but he can't drive away the Jiang family.

So they made a bet: if she could win the alchemy competition against her peers at the Ascension Ceremony, she would be free from the control of her family.

Gu Qing's help is an off-field matter. If there are any alchemy geniuses who lack confidence in their ability to fight, let him choose. Anyway, Gu Qing is going to have a contest, and whoever he chooses to fight will have to go through a round.

If he had just used a little more force, he would have been a great help.

This idea naturally came from Master Wanyi, who also made a promise.

Although Gu Qing wasn't particularly fond of this master-disciple pair, he trusted Wan Yi Zhenren's integrity. After all, back then he was just an eighth-grade cultivator with no background, yet he was given a sixth-grade precious pill meant to save his life without hesitation.

Of course, considering their relationship as fellow disciples, he would use this favor elsewhere... such as the Bai Clan of Cangshan.

The whole thing reeks of absurdity.

Because Jiang Xi'er had already broken through to the seventh rank before she was a hundred years old, she had already proven her potential, which was similar to that of Jiang Zuling, whom the Jiang family was cultivating.

Logically speaking, how could a baby be married off before she even has a chance to be married?

hey~
This is related to the infighting within the large family. As a result, Jiang Yuan lost his position as the head of the weapon refining hall, and the powerful backer behind Jiang Zuling would not want anyone to share in this benefit and power.

The best way to deal with Jiang Xi'er is to marry her off.

They can also use it as a pretext to build relationships, form cliques, and occupy a righteous position.

A family is relatively close when it is small.

With a large population, people are practically strangers. They lack the kinship concepts of modern society, and everything is geared towards profit. This is the characteristic of the Southern Wilderness.

"It's all just a bunch of bullshit."

"It's better to be single."

During the leisurely preparations for the Ascension Ceremony, Baiyue Mountain was at its busiest. Gu Qing, suffering from the effects of the curse, prepared to make a trip to the Ancestral Hall.

I'll use the remaining two insights on the Great Divine Power of Devouring to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
