Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"who!"

Blood Blade Zhuang Jiu stared warily at the young man who emerged from the fiery tornado. Although his aura was at the same level as his, the young man's powerful presence was almost overwhelming.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

This trip is probably going to be bad.

"Who?"

Gu Qing chuckled softly.

"The one who will kill you."

"Ha, what arrogance." Although he was already considering retreating, Zhuang Jiu did not want to admit defeat out of face: "We are both at the highest level of True Person. We'll discuss who is stronger after we've fought."

He intended to leave a deep impression on the Yun clan.

Gu Qing showed no intention of holding back.

The Flame Lord's Secret Manual: Heartfire Burns the Body!

This book, "Complete Collection of Minor Supernatural Fire Techniques," which brings together the essence of fire magic, is also the best demonstration of Gu Qing's skill in fire magic.

The fire in the heart rises from within the body.

Blood Blade Zhuang Jiu's men let out a miserable howl, and before they could last three breaths, they all turned into charred remains and fell to the ground.

Zhuang Jiu was also unable to resist. His face turned red, and flames burst from his cracked skin. Gu Qing's basic strength was too strong, and his mastery of fire magic was too profound.

Even with his cultivation level, he couldn't resist the flames burning in his heart.

"This is impossible."

The Yun clan members were dumbfounded; such combat power among those at the same cultivation level was simply too exaggerated.

The Blood Blade Zhuang Jiu, who was invincible just a moment ago, was now like a dying old man, trembling and unable to even speak properly.

Finally, he raised his index finger towards Steward Li, and without uttering a single word, he died.

Gu Qing waved his hand.

Numerous storage bags, blood-blade magic weapons, and sword magic weapons all fell into his hands.

He is the kind of genius cultivator who is like a supermodel. He doesn't need to exert too much effort to fight a sixth-grade lower-level cultivator unless they also have his foundation. And dealing with a seventh-grade cultivator is already a completely different level.

The gap is too large; crushing them is as easy as drinking water.

Yun Erlang swallowed hard and quickly bowed.

"Thank you so much, senior, for your courage in helping us out of injustice. We, the Yun family, will be eternally grateful, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing swung the magical sword over, and with a hiss, it passed through Yun Erlang's cloak and plunged into the deck.

Gudong~

Everyone swallowed hard. The pressure from Gu Qing was far greater than that from the Blood Blade Manor. Even Steward Li didn't dare to lower the deck.

The next moment, Gu Qing appeared on the deck and said without turning his head.

"Here you go."

Then he walked up to Yun Yuyan and smiled.

"Is Miss Yun married?"

"what?"

Yun Yuyan was stunned for a moment. Looking at the handsome face approaching, her delicate features flushed red, and she lowered her head and said.

“Senior… Yu Yan is already married, please don’t make such jokes.”

Gu Qing frowned.

"What a waste! Doesn't the Yun clan ancestor know your situation?"

"What's the meaning."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat. They really didn't know?

Yun Yuyan was able to resonate with the pure Yang divine sense cultivated by the Crimson Sun Divine Demon Diagram, indicating that her bloodline must have returned to its ancestral origin, and that it was from the branch closest to the founding ancestor of the Flaming Mountain sect.

In other words, she can be referred to as "the daughter of Zhurong," not as her children or descendants, but as a female Zhurong.

Gu Qing's Zhu Rong Body is stuck at 40% progress, slowly improving only with the nurturing effect of the Phoenix Blood Pool. All the fire essence has been refined into the Five Elements Wheel, which is a great pity.

If one could use the techniques from the Flame Lord's Secret Manual to cultivate with him.

Borrowing the power of Zhurong deep within his bloodline, cultivating a Dao body was not difficult, so Gu Qing called it his own good fortune. As for dual cultivation itself, it was also a great pleasure.

Despite his appearance as a eunuch for the past century, his true motivation was to cultivate power more than to indulge in lust, which is why he became so addicted to cultivation.

Now that his strength is improving more and more slowly and his cultivation time is gradually decreasing, some thoughts and ideas have begun to emerge.

He was only a little over a hundred years old, which, according to common sense in the Cangwu cultivation world, meant he was just a young man.

The Daoist opportunity, the inheritance of Zhu Rong, and the land of stars.

The only three benefits, besides forming a marriage alliance with the Yun clan, are resorting to despicable and underhanded means, which is not what he desires.

After all, it's not easy for an outsider like him to even borrow a place to cultivate.

Not to mention the inheritance of Zhu Rong.

"Ugh."

With a soft sigh, Gu Qing shook his head, one plan failing and another emerging.

The hidden universe within the sleeve was suddenly activated.

With a gentle pull towards the sky, Butler Li cried out in alarm and fell headfirst onto the deck, his limbs spread out and pressed very close together. He tried everything he could, but he couldn't move.

"Senior! What do you mean by this?"

Just as Yun Erlang was basking in relief and caressing his precious sword, he saw Steward Li suffer the consequences and quickly intervened.

Gu Qing glared at him.

"Idiot, you can't even see the traitor on your face."

"how come……"

"Young master, I'm innocent! I didn't do it!"

Yun Erlang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Senior, have you misunderstood?"

Are you questioning my judgment?

"No... not."

At this moment, Yun Yuyan gave a wink to the middle-aged, burly, seventh-rank cultivator, who immediately sat down on Steward Li without saying a word.

"I noticed something was off about you a long time ago. If it weren't for the young master protecting you, I would have beaten you to death."

"Auntie, Uncle Tiger, you..."

"Erlang, trust your senior and trust your aunt. I felt something was wrong just now. We haven't discussed the return route with anyone else."

"Besides you and me, only Butler Li and Uncle Hu know. They haven't even contacted the family. If it's not you or me, could it be Uncle Hu?"

Yun's second son was finally speechless.

If Steward Li was someone he had followed since childhood, then Uncle Hu was a bodyguard from his parents' generation. If he wasn't deeply trusted, why would they have sent him to protect him?

"Ugh!"

He sighed deeply and stopped paying attention.

Yun Yuyan then handed the person over to Uncle Hu for interrogation. He was probably related to the Starry Sky Sect. If the person was a traitor, then it wouldn't just be the Blood Blade Manor's Jiu who came.

It was precisely because it was Zhuang Jiu who came, able to steal the goods but not harm her life, that she suspected it was an internal clan conflict.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, senior. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Why don't you come with Yu Yan to the Yun family? I will definitely repay you with a generous gift."

“You can go, but you don’t need to bring gifts. I would like to meet the Yun Clan Ancestor.”

Seeing Gu Qing's ambiguous smile, Yun Yuyan quickly turned her head away, thinking of her husband who had passed away less than three years ago. "I'm so sorry!" she thought.
The hero saves the damsel in distress; it's a cliché, but it works very well.

Yun Yuyan and Yun Erlang were relatively calm, as they had not been driven to the brink of despair and still had a trump card to escape.

However, the other members of the Yun clan in the caravan, including Uncle Tiger, all had a good impression of Gu Qing, showering him with thanks and compliments, and inviting him to drink with them.

This surprised Gu Qing somewhat; judging from this point alone, the Yun family's traditions were quite good.

He had agreed to introduce Gu Qing to the Yun Clan Ancestor, so he stayed behind.

The sunken boat was salvaged that night, and they continued their journey. They were not far from Tianquan Island and should arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

It will take several more days to reach Jade Horizon Island. (End of Chapter)
