Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 39 Huoyao Chiwutu

Fire Virtue Visualization Diagram, third level, breakthrough!
Accumulated knowledge and experience will eventually lead to success.

In the path of spiritual cultivation, Gu Qing displayed extraordinary talent. His perfected Fire Virtue Visualization Technique manifested the [Mars] in his Niwan Palace, and its effects were remarkable.

Firstly, his divine sense can be projected outwards to cover a radius of ten feet around him, with minute detail, making even the dust in the air clearly visible.

Secondly, a few red dots appeared within the range of his divine sense. They seemed extremely close to Gu Qing, eager to get closer, but unable to enter his body, and were very impatient.

This is a manifestation of the increased fire element talent.

The Five Elements are divided into inner and outer. The inner Five Elements refer to the human body, while the outer Five Elements refer to the heaven and earth. Most things in the world fall between these two categories.

Those red dots represent fire elemental energy.

A sacred land, a treasure land, a place brimming with spiritual energy—the spiritual energy referred to here is the purest and most refined energy emanating from mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, the sun, moon, and stars, and all of nature!

Its form and substance are indistinct, arising from nothingness, like emptiness and void.

It points directly to the secret of immortality.

Spiritual energy also has different zodiac categories. Practicing in a place that suits one's own zodiac sign often yields twice the results with half the effort, which in turn involves cultivation methods.

The Five Qi Profound Origin Technique has no attribute distinction; if you have to say, it can be any kind of spiritual energy, since it is a foundation-building technique.

According to the plan, after Gu Qing breaks through to the eighth rank of True Cultivation, he will inevitably switch to cultivating fire-attribute and metal-attribute techniques based on his own talent.

It's not the right time yet.

As for the final effect of the Fire Virtue Visualization Diagram, it is that one's spiritual consciousness is as intense as fire!
For spirits, ghosts, and yin-type monsters, such intense spiritual consciousness has a strong restraining effect and can make them immune to yin-type spells such as bewitching, manipulation, and charm.

It can even use divine sense to imprison ghosts.

Such a technique is indeed difficult to learn, but Gu Qing didn't find it particularly difficult.

"The divine consciousness is like fire. Now that it has reached perfection, it should continue to burn life and deduce further."

On this point, Gu Qing hesitated only slightly.

After all, the original plan was to expand horizontally in the library, but the prerequisite for going to the library was to complete the body forging, and two months would be enough time for him to take his new method to the next level.

"When the time is right, there is no need to delay any longer."

"Deduction!"

Fifty years of lifespan had been consumed, and Gu Qing's legs went weak, causing him to collapse to the ground, convulsing. After experiencing this repeatedly, he had become accustomed to this weakness.

The points for the artifact were used up last time and haven't been replenished yet, so this time it's a true illusion.

"Let me see the new law..."

"The red crow startled the heavens, and the fiery sun spread its warmth."

"[Huoyao Chiwu Picture]"

"Great technique!"

He was panting heavily, leaning against the table.

The new method is a mantra that continues the path of the Fire Virtue Contemplation Method. It has six levels, and the first level is the manifestation of [Mars], which Gu Qing has already achieved.

The second level involves planting divine consciousness within the fire.

The third level is the transformation of divine consciousness into a red crow.

The fourth layer, the Crimson Crow manifests its fiery brilliance.

The fifth level, Fire Star Repairs Qian Yang.

The sixth level, Qianyang Yunyan Jun.

"Fifty years of lifespan is not a loss. This level of spirit-refining technique is definitely not available in the Sword Forging Manor."

As for the specific level he had reached, Gu Qing was not sure, as his perspective was limited and he had not yet truly entered the circle of eighth-grade true cultivators.

After sitting there for a while, I regained some strength.

He then sat cross-legged and began practicing his exercises to restore his vital energy.

Gu Qing

Age: 21, Lifespan: 130

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

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

[Secondary Study: Morning Glow Purple Aura Strategy - Level 3+]

[Refining God: Huoyao Chiwutu·First Level]

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

[Skills: Metal and Stone Weaponry - Divine Refinement (Mastery)+, Blood and Bone Weaponry - Evil Refinement (Basic)] [Items: Corrupted Blood Sleeve Arrow (Five-Patterned Magic Weapon), Star and Moon Twin Swords (Five-Refined Weapon Embryo), Explosive Iron Gallbladder x10 (Five-Refined Weapon Embryo)]

[Tool point: 0]

This wave of consumption was enormous, and the "+" sign after the Refining God Technique disappeared, which also means that Gu Qing's remaining lifespan is insufficient to meet the consumption of the next deduction.

"This lifespan accumulates quickly, but it also depletes quickly."

With a significant loss of vital essence, Gu Qing felt it would affect his physical enhancement limit, so he decided to replenish it first.

"To reach 210 years, we are still short of 80 years of lifespan, which is 960 artifact points. We need to refine 19.2 artifacts to make a total of 20."

"If it's one item every two days on average, it will take 40 days."

"This doesn't even take into account the material consumption. Even with the help of the Weapon Forging Pavilion, a large amount of material would be needed for the purpose of concealment, and the time would double."

That's 80 days, almost three months! A quick calculation shows it will take that long.

Suddenly, Gu Qing clapped his hands.

"That's not right either!"

He relied on his divine sense to refine weapons. Now that his divine sense has broken through, his refining technique has been completely renewed, and its effects will surely be even greater than before. If his fetal breathing is insufficient, he can be extravagant and directly use fetal breathing pills to replenish his energy.

The speed should be greatly improved.

If you can practice once a day, you can fully recover in twenty days.

To replenish the points needed for crafting artifacts, refining one pattern artifact is enough, since it is worth 50 artifact points.

Two- to five-pattern magic artifacts are simply 5 points higher than the original, without any qualitative change. It is still more cost-effective to refine one-pattern magic artifacts, and the materials are also easier to obtain.

It just so happens that Liu Ziyi and his group are quite wealthy.

We can extract a lot from them, but of course, as the seller, we must also ensure customer satisfaction.

A steady, continuous flow of relationships is essential for building a strong and unbreakable network of connections.

Perhaps he could study a few special magical artifacts designed specifically for young masters and ladies, and earn cultivation resources from them.

shortcut!

Three days later, his physical condition returned to normal.

Gu Qing then sent a message to Liu Ziyi, summoning him to Xueshanfang to deliver the goods ahead of schedule.

What he wanted was a jade ruyi, which is also a back scratcher.

Used in combat, it has no effect other than smashing people, but it has the advantage of low consumption. Even a Grandmaster can use it to some extent, to show off.

Liu Ziyi was quite satisfied with the finished product.

The three-patterned magic weapon is not low-grade, but its practical combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of an offensive weapon like the Crimson Serpent Sword.

"Junior Brother Gu's cooking skills are very much to my liking, not bad."

"And the fact that it was refined so quickly shows that you put a lot of effort into it. This is the final payment, which will be settled today."

"It's easy to talk about."

"The requests made by the important people that Senior Brother Liu introduced to me will be completed in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyi felt his face was greatly enhanced.

A weapon refiner like Gu Qing, who gives him face, really hit the nail on the head, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

"Senior Brother Liu, I have a few special magical artifacts here. I wonder if you would be interested?"

"Oh? Junior brother, please speak freely."

"Look at this blueprint. The Enchanting Bell, with a gentle shake, can control ordinary martial artists below the Grandmaster level like puppets."

"Any action is within my capabilities."

"hiss!"

"Junior Brother Gu has superb skills and unique talents."

"Senior brother, you flatter me."

A lewd glint flashed across Liu Ziyi's dark, thin face as he whispered.

How much is this bell worth?

"It's not expensive. Senior brother can exchange it for twenty catties of low-grade refining materials."

"It's really not expensive."
