Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 242 Li Daoyang, Enforcement Hall of Ten Thousand Flames
Back then, Bai Jiao was smuggling with the demon race, and Gu Qing instructed Bao Chong to take over. After the Golden Sand Flood Dragon King was eliminated, almost all of this underground business was taken over by the Demon Phoenix City.

Gu Qing, under the guise of being a demonic demon, is the nominal master of the Demon Phoenix City, but in reality, the true master is the Chenxing Crocodile Demon Clan.

However, Gu Qing's people were secretly in charge of smuggling with humans.

With the Jinsha Dragon King's years of work and exploration of the underground water system map, it can come and go freely, even venturing deep into the Jinsha Prefecture territory of the human race.

With deliberate scheming, not only Bai Jiao was photographed as evidence of her crimes.

The ever-increasing volume of transactions has dragged half of the Cangshan Bai Clan into the mess. However, "dragged into the mess" is not quite the right word, since smuggling is something that the Cangshan Bai Clan's upper echelons have absolutely approved of.

It's just that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the profits are frighteningly high.

Previously, the Bai family's transactions were fragmented, but now they are all large-scale transactions, bringing in more resources than the total revenue that the Bai family of Cangshan has generated from its operations among the human race.

This led to a family that occasionally made money illegally becoming full-time smugglers.

To put it nicely, they are seizing resources from the demon realm.

To put it bluntly, it was betraying the interests of the human race. Gu Qing deeply abhorred the Golden Sand Flood Dragon King's human pill business, but since the evil dragon was already dead, it was perfectly appropriate to pin the blame on the Bai family.

After Gu Qing took over, he banned the Ren Dan business.

But there's plenty of evidence left over from the past; just pin it all on them.

"His numerous evil deeds deserve to be struck by lightning!"

"If Heaven will not punish me, I will act on its behalf!"

I mentally went over the prepared lines.

Gu Qing began to consider the combat forces he could use: Wanyi Zhenren, Baohua Zushi, Tiangong Qianbei, Jiang Yuan Elder, Lianfeng Zuoshi, and Taikangxuan Daoist.

The Bai family of Cangshan has three patriarchs who hold the rank of sixth grade.

With one middle-ranking official, two lower-ranking officials, and twenty or thirty seventh-rank True Persons, this is a relatively well-organized second-rate top-tier force. If it had two more sixth-rank Ancestors, it could be considered a first-rate force.

Gu Qing's side has enough strength to wipe out the Bai family, but not all of them; they need to unite some more people.

To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud; a single strike must be a fatal blow.

Only in this way can it have a deterrent effect. As for the Nanli Situ clan, to be honest, they are not something he can deal with yet, so he needs to wait.

Gu Qing temporarily ignored the matter concerning Master Fu Liu.

This person bullies the weak and fears the strong. After dealing with the Bai family, he will definitely disappear from the public eye and may even take the initiative to apologize to him, thus being placed second in his priorities.

Being too brave and aggressive is also not good; a dignified weapon refiner should not be too narrow-minded.

After reflecting on his actions, Gu Qing wrote the word "death" on Fu Liu's name.

Huosangshan, I just got back not long ago.

Gu Qing was blocked at the door by Lei Jiulou, Xu Qingning, and Sun Yunshu, three successors of the immortal sect.

"Please come in, fellow Daoists. My humble abode is simple and I apologize for any rudeness."

"It doesn't matter."

"We acted on a whim, Brother Gu, there's no need to worry about it."

Lei Jiulou's face was still pale, as his injuries had not yet healed.

"Brother Gu's magical power is extraordinary and his supernatural abilities are unparalleled. We have come to visit you because we wish to stay at your temple for a while. The celebration will continue for some time."

"Spending time with a prodigy like Brother Gu, discussing the Dao, would be of great benefit to us. I wonder what Brother Gu's opinion is..."

Gu Qing was stunned; she truly hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

However, as Lei Jiulou said, geniuses naturally form a circle. Gu Qing is the host in Baiyue Mountain, so it is only proper to seek him out.

"Of course, Brother Lei is willing, and I have no reason to refuse."

“If Fairy Sun and Fellow Daoist Xu do not mind the difference between men and women, they may stay here.”

Xu Qingning didn't speak, she just looked at Gu Qing. Sun Yunshu, on the other hand, smiled gently.

"Brother Gu, don't overthink it. It's just a normal discussion. This is a refined place in Baiyue Mountain, so I'm sure no one would gossip like this."

"That's true."

"please."

"please."

The sudden arrival of the three people gave Gu Qing some other thoughts. Although family scandals should not be aired in public, the Bai family of Cangshan was not a force of Baiyue Mountain, but only a nominal subordinate.

If we can persuade the three of them to go together, given their status, it would be perfectly normal for them to have a few trump cards up their sleeves if they encounter danger, especially since their elders are all in Baiyue Mountain.

very suitable.

After a long chat, Gu Qing learned a lot about the nearby Three Desolations. When Sun Yunshu learned that Gu Qing was a sixth-grade weapon refiner, she invited him to visit Flame Mountain for a practical exchange.

Sun Yunshu: "The Flaming Mountain enshrines various exotic flames that have been passed down since the ancient times, which are of great benefit to weapon refiners and cultivators who practice the way of fire."

"Brother Gu's fire magic is unparalleled; you must not miss this opportunity."

Gu Qing: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Qingning: "It should be the opening of the Wanyantian Secret Realm. Wanyantian is a spiritual realm created by the founder of the Flame Mountain Sect, imitating the Nine Heavens."

At its core lies a portion of the origin of the Nine-Colored Emperor Flame, which is said to be connected to the upper realm. The Flame Immortal Lord was a being of a different kind of fire who attained enlightenment, and the Emperor Flame was a part of his body, enabling him to communicate with the lower realm.

Also known as the "Ancestor of Different Flames," the Myriad Flames Heaven Secret Realm contains the spiritual manifestations of all the different flames in the world. Subduing it allows one to find its true form in the Cangwu Realm, with remarkable precision, much like a GPS location.

A century later, Flaming Mountain intends to open the Myriad Flames Heaven to cultivators from the twelve immortal sects to participate in the Heavenly Fire Ceremony.

Sun Yunshu: "Sister Qingning is right. Brother Gu, don't miss it."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "We'll talk about things a hundred years from now. Right now, I have something to discuss, and I wonder if the three of you would be interested."

“Speak freely.” ×3.

About half a month later, Gu Qing refined twelve Heavenly Purity Pills, as well as a small portion of the Desolate Blood Sacred Medicine he obtained from Jiang Xi'er.

His physical strength improved again, and his progress in cultivating the Heavenly Spirit Body also increased dramatically, reducing the progress by about five or six years.

The Earth Spirit Body is still digesting the Grade 5 Netherworld Stone, and its improvement speed is even faster. It is expected to reach perfection within ten years.

This speed is quite astonishing.

After discussing it with Lei Jiulou and the other two, they decided to go and join in the fun, not for any other reason than to be curious about how Gu Qing would handle the matter.

today.

The Ascension Ceremony is still underway, and the current competition is on boat handling skills, which looks somewhat similar to racing, except that they are all driving celestial shuttles and competing in the sky.

Many people were interested in watching the battle, but Gu Qing didn't go; instead, he went to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

The incident stemmed from Li Daoyang's secret notification, and Gu Qing was actually indebted to him for this favor.

However, as mentioned before, the current lineup is still insufficient to completely wipe out the Cangshan Bai Clan. The Law Enforcement Hall is actually a decent force that can mobilize a large number of grassroots cultivators.

Li Daoyang also has the support of a sixth-rank ancestor. He is a direct descendant of the Nanli Li Clan and also holds the position of Deputy Hall Master of Law Enforcement.

The future is boundless.

Today, the law enforcement authority of Baiyue Mountain has been divided in two, with one half in the Law Enforcement Hall and the other half in the Supervision Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall primarily deals with internal affairs, while the Inspection Hall has the responsibility and authority to inspect the entire realm. This is the real reason why they sided with the Southern Yue royal family, Emperor Hong Jiang.

When the two met for the first time, Gu Qing got straight to the point as if they were old friends.

"Old Li, do you want credit or not?"

Li Daoyang: "(?)"

I'll be paying respects to my ancestors during the Qingming Festival, so updates will be late and I might even have to take a break. But don't worry, I'll make up for it!
