Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 28 The Strategy of Dawn and Purple Qi

The difficulty of achieving the eighth rank of true cultivation is evident.

"Ready to go."

Outside the gates of Qishan County, Gu Qing took one last look back at the ancient city, her feelings a mix of emotions.

This might be the last time I see it; barring any unforeseen circumstances, I won't be coming back.

"Let's go."

Zhao Yuyang pulled the reins and came to Gu Qing's side.

"If I can serve as an envoy in the future, I can come back to visit again."

"Come back and look? What is there to miss about this place!"

"drive!"

Gu Qing galloped on his horse, feeling the biting cold wind on his face, and his mind became exceptionally clear.

"Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position."

"No matter what lies ahead, never look back, and that is the greatest success!"

"Hahahahaha."

…………

evening.

The large group of people entered the territory of Chashan Prefecture, and temporarily stopped in Hongcha City to replenish their water and food supplies, rest for a while, and set off again the next day.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Qing began to implement the plan she had prepared long ago.

Deducing the "One Breath Rising to the Sun" Strategy

This supplementary cultivation strategy, in theory, can also help Grandmasters refine their innate embryonic breathing, but it is no longer of the highest quality and its effects will be somewhat inferior.

Gu Qing wanted to transform it into a technique applicable to those at the eighth-grade true cultivation level, so that its effects on them would be optimal.

With laws to follow, one can find a way to climb the steps.

Even starting from scratch, it's easy to make a breakthrough.

At night, the burning of longevity and the calculation of time began, helping to extend the meaning of the scriptures and bring forth new ideas.

This time, twenty-five years of lifespan were consumed!
Gu Qing felt completely disoriented, as if her body had been hollowed out and her energy and spirit had plummeted, as if she had suffered a serious injury.

However, the points accumulated earlier came in handy.

All 432 points were converted into lifespan in one go, replenishing the lifespan for a full 36 years, and even after deducting the consumption, there were still 11 years left over.

Clearing the information from my mind.

The panel has a brand new look.

Gu Qing

Age: 21, Lifespan: 164

[Realm: Ninth Grade, Ultimate Level - Innate Breathing]

[Technique: Five Qi Profound Origin Technique - Fourth Level+]

[Secondary Study: Morning Glow Purple Aura Strategy - Level 1+]

[Refining the Spirit: Fire Virtue Visualization Diagram - Level 2+]

[Martial Arts Skill: Hidden Blade (Perfect)+]

[Skills: Metal and Stone Refinement Technique (Perfected), Fire Refinement Technique (Mastered), Blood and Bone Refinement Technique (Beginner)]

[Items: Corrupted Blood Hidden Arrow (One-Pattern Magic Weapon), Star Moon Twin Swords (Fifth-Refinement Weapon Embryo), Explosive Iron Gallbladder x10 (Fifth-Refinement Weapon Embryo)]

[Tool point: 0]

The brand-new supplementary cultivation strategy, derived from the original method, is not only more effective, but Gu Qing has also directly entered the entry-level state, with the skill already at the fifth level.

Furthermore, the purple aura from the east that is drawn in starts with ten strands. If one can cultivate it to perfection, the purple aura can be condensed into water droplets, which can greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of the Grandmaster realm.

It also has an excellent auxiliary effect on the eighth-grade true cultivator's realm of refining essence into qi.

"The water droplets formed from the purple aura are called 'Purple Jade Liquid,' which contain the vitality of the morning glow. Long-term consumption can even extend one's lifespan by ten years."

The life-extending effect here can extend beyond one's natural lifespan, breaking the constraints of heaven and earth, and is similar to the effect of a life-extending elixir.

The only drawback is that it requires long-term use.

This can be achieved unconsciously during the cultivation process, and it cannot be considered a drawback.

It's just that it's not convenient to give it to someone else to use.

After all, it is a product of the condensation of cultivation techniques. Even if the 【One Qi Rising Sun Strategy】 is cultivated to the third level of perfection, it can only attract three wisps of purple qi.

The first layer of the 【Morning Glow Purple Qi Strategy】has ten strands, more than doubling the efficiency. In this way, even without the spiritual environment, his cultivation progress will not slow down, but may even be faster.

"Very good!"

After a while, the abundant life essence completely dispelled the weakness.

Gu Qing didn't sleep all night.

As the sun rose, waiting for the auspicious purple aura to appear in the east, I tried it for the first time. The ten wisps of purple aura I inhaled were equivalent to more than ten days of arduous cultivation.

In this way, it will take three to four days.

This will add a wisp of innate fetal breath, causing a surge in speed!

At the end of the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), the sun had fully risen, and the best time for meditation had passed. After having breakfast at the inn, the main group continued their journey, heading northwest.

"Master Gu, you seem different today?"

"Haha, my cultivation has improved, I'm just pleased with myself."

"congratulations."

Zhao Yuyang offered a few compliments, his feelings complicated. Unbeknownst to him, Gu Qing had already surpassed him.

But then Zhou An rode up from the side, speaking disdainfully.

"It's nothing more than the Immortal Master giving him a few Breathing Pills as payment for refining weapons. Once we reach the Sword Forging Manor, we can catch up with him at any time."

"Then I wish Brother Zhou a speedy arrival."

"you!"

"drive!"

Zhao Yuyang had no good feelings towards Zhou An. If it weren't for him, the Zhao family wouldn't have had to work so hard for three months. Moreover, this man was the illegitimate son of the Yun family.

He was not well-liked by Yun Jiuge and suffered a lot of exclusion.

Trying to find a sense of superiority in them is truly naive and makes them unworthy of friendship.

Zhou An, however, did not think so.

"Hmph, none of you know that I have already become a disciple of Master Li. When we get to the Sword Forging Manor, you'll see what happens."

The immortal master surnamed Li from Qingmu Mansion only came to observe the mining of Phoenix Flame Gold. He left after staying for a few days and will arrive before everyone else to report the situation to the manor.

Furthermore, the new recruits he had gathered at Aoki Mansion had already set off.

It wouldn't be good to bring Zhou An along, lest it slow down our journey. If we can't catch up, it would be dereliction of duty for the new recruits of Qingmu Prefecture this year to not be able to find the entrance to the Great Snow Mountain.

Therefore, Zhou An went with them.

Aside from the occasional quarrels and arguments, nothing major happened along the way.

The so-called wars and rebellions against kings, once they reach a certain limit, will be resolved by renowned grandmasters of the Yan Kingdom, and people will marvel at the many loyal and righteous people in the martial arts world.

There were also those who cried out in anguish, cursing their mothers, for the people had long suffered under the rule of the King of Yan.

This time, we saw the full spectrum of human life.

It also reminded Gu Qing of his days as a wanderer. Indeed, whenever the war was intense and could not be contained, it would always end inexplicably.

His survival might be partly due to this.

As the journey drew nearer.

Although it was already spring, the weather was getting colder and colder, which meant they were getting closer and closer to the snow-capped mountains.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qing consumed all four Fetal Breathing Pills during the journey, and then practiced the [Morning Glow Purple Qi Strategy] daily, breaking through to the second level of the technique a few days ago.

It can draw in twenty strands of purple energy, and in two days it can condense a strand of innate fetal breath.

At this moment, Gu Qing had accumulated 118 strands of innate fetal breath within her body.

The Great Circulation has been half completed. If I can obtain more Fetal Breathing Pills to help me, I will complete the first step of the Grandmaster Realm in three months.

In terms of weapon crafting, it's not convenient to cultivate on horseback or to inscribe weapon patterns, so he spends his time comprehending different basic weapon patterns.

There are currently eight available.

The Star and Moon Twin Swords, as well as consumable martial arts weapons like the Exploding Iron Gallbladder, can also be refined into magical artifacts.

Three-patterned ritual implements can be cast.

At this point, Gu Qing could directly create the finished Crimson Serpent Sword.
