Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

night.

Yun Hu and several guards invited Gu Qing for drinks. He was bored and pondering the feasibility of his new plan, so he decided to go and gather some information about the Yun clan.

"Senior Gu, we owe you a great debt this time. Otherwise, we brothers would have been killed by that traitor surnamed Li."

"Alas, even with the help of a master like the senior, Yun Qingshan and Yun Tong were still killed by the aftershocks of the Blood Blade. How hateful."

Gu Qing seemed to be thinking. They didn't mention the two main families, which meant they knew what was going on. They said it was a life-saving grace, but in reality, they were saving the lives of these collateral relatives.

They knew it in their hearts, and Gu Qing understood it too.

"Now that we've survived, let's not talk about these things anymore, let's drink!"

Yun Hu poured Gu Qing's glass full and explained.

"This wine is called Sea Heart Brew. It is cold and piercing, just right for us fire-path cultivators to suppress our inner fire. A good drink will refresh both body and mind. Would you like to try it?"

"Come."

As the saying goes, after so many years of cultivation, Gu Qing feels like a cultivation machine, constantly calculating how to improve and missing out on too many wonderful things.

Now that we're planning to break through, we might as well try some new things.

He also played the role of a forthright and generous character.

Gulp gulp~

After downing half a jar in one go, Gu Qing exhaled a breath of cold air. He didn't use the Gluttony Technique to refine it; the alcohol was affecting his face, and he felt thoroughly satisfied.

"Cool!"

"Great! Senior, you're very straightforward."

"I never imagined that you, senior, would not only be so strong, but also so compatible in temperament. Hahaha, let's go again."

After several rounds of drinks, the room was filled with people lying haphazardly on the floor, with only Gu Qing and Yun Hu still drinking together.

“Brother Gu… don’t say that Brother Tiger doesn’t take care of you.”

"I heard everything you asked on the deck earlier... Although Miss Yu Yan got married early... her husband is a sickly man..."

She died on her wedding night...and left no children...and she was burned to death...Isn't that...strange?"

Gu Qing jolted awake, and the effects of the alcohol mostly wore off.

"Her husband was burned to death?"

"Ok?"

Yun Hu blushed and nodded with a smile, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu Qing, however, began to have some guesses.

The innate true fire born from the Fire Ancestor's physique is more powerful than most other flames, and is known as the Ancestor of All Flames. It does not need to be cultivated and grown slowly; it becomes extremely powerful as soon as it awakens.

Gu Qing had previously assumed that Yun Yuyan's constitution had not been discovered.

Now it seems that I guessed wrong.

They must have discovered it, but it was kept from them.

"Brother Yun Hu, was it the patriarch of the Yun Clan's Starry Sky Sect who discovered this matter back then?"

"Yes...yes, that's why he's called the Ancestor. Ancestor Zhaixing has no reason to help the direct descendants of the Fire Sect, but he suppressed it for the sake of the Yun Clan's reputation."

"None of the son-in-law's relatives dare to cause trouble."

"broken."

Gu Qing suddenly stood up and activated his divine sense to the maximum.

Blood Blade Zhuang Jiu's attack was just a feint; after lowering everyone's guard, his true killing move was revealed.

Even if she is a descendant of Zhu Rong, and cultivates the Star Dao, she should know the value of Zhu Rong's daughter. It's understandable that they didn't realize it before, but now that the two factions are fighting fiercely, it's normal for them to kill her.

Plan A failed, so Gu Qing's Plan B was to use his mastery of fire magic to disguise himself as Zhu Rong from another desolate region. After all, he also had 40% of Zhu Rong's body, and although their bloodlines were far apart, their power characteristics were similar.

It's entirely possible to impersonate someone.

If we could take the young lady of the Fire Sect as our disciple, we would have a chance to plan the three opportunities, it would just take more time.

But if the bargaining chip for getting close to the Yun family is killed, he can no longer shamelessly ask to take the young lady of the family as his apprentice.

"You ruined my plans, you deserve to die!"

Gu Qing, brimming with murderous intent, burst through the deck and soared into the sky. There, he saw a black-robed cultivator in the clouds, carrying the unconscious Yun Erlang and the panicked Yun Yuyan in each hand, flying away into the distance.

Seeing that the person was not dead, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

His pupils flashed like lightning, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dharma Thunder coalesced into a lightning spear, which he hurled suddenly.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Shuttle Robe, Gu Qing's aura was so weak that the raiders only realized something was wrong when they sensed the aura of the Thunder Law.

"Who dares to ambush me, you coward?"

"Oh, he's a sixth-grade cultivator."

When the Yin-Yang Five Elements Thunder struck him, he was forced to use his natal magic weapon to defend himself.

That's a mirror.

The emanating dark demonic light completely devoured Fare, causing Gu Qing to frown deeply.

"A mid-grade magic weapon from the Devouring Dao?"

Upon spotting Gu Qing, the man dropped his pretense, pulled down his hood, and arrogantly declared.

"I am the Venerable Devouring Evil. Who in this coastal region does not know me? Boy, if you know what's good for you, don't disturb me from enjoying such a treasure."

Is it another infamous cultivator who has been afflicted by tribulations?

It's estimated that they were hired by the Yun Clan's Starry Sky Sect, but upon seeing Yun Yuyan and getting close to her, they realized her bloodline was extraordinary, and that's why they changed their minds at the last minute.

Those who practice the Devouring Path are prone to going astray if their character is flawed.

Even a creature like the Taotie, a representative of the Devouring Dao.

It was only after being tamed by the Ancestor of Jinyun that it gradually acquired a Daoist heart and spiritual wisdom; otherwise, it would not have earned the "reputation" of being the leader of the Four Fiends.

"He has tarnished the reputation of my sect and deserves to die."

Gu Qing flicked his fingers, and the black hole-like Devouring Dharma Wheel suddenly swept past Devouring Evil Master. When he came to his senses, Yun Erlang was being carried by the wind and appeared at Gu Qing's feet.

Yun Yuyan was held in his arms, her body burning hot beneath her thin clothes, and she squirmed awkwardly a few times.

Gu Qing was aroused by the plump and curvaceous beauty and couldn't help but glare at her.

She was under a spell, and although she was conscious, she couldn't shout. Seeing this, she buried her head in Gu Qing's arms and dared not move.

"A fellow traveler?!"

"Who is your kindred spirit? You ignorant fool, how dare you compare yourself to me?"

Gu Qing snorted coldly.

The Chongshan Seal suddenly grew larger, and under the influence of the Chongshan Dao Pattern and the Yuan Magnetic Field Domain, the Devouring Evil Master was briefly bound.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. After all, he was a mid-level sixth-rank cultivator and wasn't so easily suppressed by Gu Qing.

Another low-grade Devouring Dao magic treasure, shaped like a treasure bottle, sprayed black water droplets towards the Heavy Mountain Seal, forcefully blocking the fall of this towering mountain.

His magical power surged wildly, breaking through the restraints in one fell swoop, and he grinned maliciously.

"He has some skill, but it's not enough."

"Is it."

Gu Qing smiled. He wasn't entirely confident of defeating a mid-level sixth-rank cultivator, but he was certain of victory against a fellow Devouring Dao cultivator.

Do you even know what a Taotie is? In battles between like-minded people, the principles of law and reason are the key to determining victory or defeat.

He reached out and stroked the beauty's cheek in his arms until her skin bled, then waved his hand away, covering her senses with his divine sense, and coldly uttered four words.

"Swallow the sky and the earth!"

The Devouring Dao technique, the only great divine power in the Cangwu cultivation world, is the Great Perfection level Devouring Heaven and Earth, an extremely powerful trump card whose power limit even Gu Qing cannot fathom.

Not to mention using it to deal with fellow cultivators.

Compared to such supernatural powers, all the Devouring Dao techniques that the Devouring Master could use were suppressed and restrained.

"Taotie, you are Taotie..."

The black light swept across and swallowed everything, leaving nothing behind. Even the space itself was mostly devoured, preventing moonlight from shining in.

Everything returns to nothingness.

"Hiccup~" (End of Chapter)
