Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 68 Slaying! (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes)
the other side.

The eldest snake, Han Li, was so frightened that his scales stood on end. Without daring to look at the corpses of his third sister and second brother, he plunged headfirst into the river.

It thought that this Taoist was skilled in fire magic, but perhaps he wouldn't be able to do it in water.

He knows the Qingshui River very well; it stretches for three hundred miles.

If we can dive into the underground river, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

This stimulation caused its charred body to overdraw its potential, driving it to escape with all its might.

above.

Gu Qing frowned slightly and threw Si Ji down. The bait had no effect, so it was useless.

Underwater, his fire magic is indeed less effective.

But who said that's all he knows how to do?

Since we're already here, and we've finally found someone we can kill, we should try out all our methods to see how they perform in actual combat.

"Dual cultivation of the Flaming Dragon True Technique and Body".

"Now that the power of fire magic is indeed rare among its peers, let's test my physique to see if it can rival that of a demon of the same level."

Whoosh————

Gu Qing followed closely behind the snake demon and dived underwater.

With its divine sense locked onto the target, it caught up with it in no time.

Fire Release techniques are weakened even more severely in water, and can only be mastered by those who have reached a high level of proficiency.

But this thing cannot be explained by the simple five elements' generating and restraining relationships.

It also contains the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements.

If he can achieve perfection one day, the external environment will no longer be able to affect Gu Qing's use of fire escape techniques, and his cultivation of other five elemental escape techniques will also be twice as effective.

Once one cultivates a single path to its limit, ordinary relationships of mutual generation and restraint can no longer affect them.

The principle behind Gu Qing's ability to catch up is very simple.

He used a magical artifact.

The Cloud-Stepping Boots are a top-grade magic artifact with 15 patterns. Although they are named Cloud-Stepping Boots, given Gu Qing's abilities, how could he not add strange artifact patterns to them?

One set of patterns depicts walking on water, pushing the waves, and turbulent waters.

When it was designed, the underwater environment was taken into consideration. The fire jutsu, which was not yet perfect, might be at a disadvantage, so there was a precautionary measure.

Not because of exceptional intelligence, but because of extreme caution!

With divine machine patterns, Gu Qing's creativity in magical artifacts is almost limitless; as long as it doesn't exceed the upper limit, everything is fine.

The snake demon leader charged forward headlong.

Even it couldn't determine how to navigate in such dark and murky water, and simply relied on its usual wandering instincts to burrow into nooks and crannies.

Suddenly.

The snake demon leader, feeling as if he had bumped into a sharp rock, hissed angrily. "When demons are unlucky, they can even run into sharp rocks while trying to escape."

Without time to think, I shifted my angle and tried to go around it.

Bang!
"hiss--"

The snake demon hissed in pain a few more times, sensing something was wrong. It changed its angle again, and whoosh! It bumped into a sharp rock again.

Could it be that there's a hedgehog's nest in front of it?
Blow through your nostrils to expel the turbid water.

The snake's pupils suddenly contracted.

"you you you……"

Gu Qing stood calmly in the water, the Zhu Rong pattern gradually appearing on his face radiating a crimson-gold light, his upper garment removed and hanging down to his waist.

Revealing his muscular upper body, he was originally a blacksmith, and although his physique wasn't exaggerated to the point of being a muscle monster, he still had a very powerful build.

"Come on, let's exchange fists."

唿！
Humiliation! Han Li She felt an unprecedented sense of shame; this human cultivator was far too arrogant.

If the advantage of the human race lies in their innate talent for cultivation and their ability to comprehend the Great Dao...

The advantage of the demon race lies in their long lifespan and innately powerful physique.

Essence is the root of life.

A strong physique equates to strong vital energy, and similarly, abundant essence leads to a long lifespan. This is the ultimate path to physical immortality.

The demon race is born at the starting point of this path.

Humanity is an all-embracing race, absorbing the essence of all living beings. There are countless methods and countless cultivators who have attained enlightenment. The number of major paths one can traverse is innumerable, and it is said that all three thousand major paths lead to immortality. Currently, the mainstream of the cultivation world is the path of consuming Qi for longevity.

The saying that those who nourish their vital energy attain enlightenment and longevity is exactly what this means.

Using the law to commit crimes.

The impression given to outsiders is that he is not good at body cultivation, but in fact this is just a misconception. There are many human powerhouses with invincible physiques, and the little demon's knowledge is limited.

"Insanity!"

The Cold Serpent lashed out with its tail, tearing apart tens of tons of water with a force capable of shattering giant rocks.

Gu Qing, however, remained silent.

He simply extended his right hand and gently punched out.

The Zhu Rong pattern on his arm lit up, and the Yanlong True Essence materialized, coiling around his arm to form a small fire dragon, which attacked together with his fist.

"Killing you with a magic sword would be too easy for you."

"Pain lasts only a moment, how can it compensate for the suffering caused to my people by your cruelty?"

"Today, I'll let you taste what it feels like to be punched into mincemeat."

A fierce glint appeared in Gu Qing's eyes.

This demon is guilty of heinous crimes; only by torturing him severely can we relieve the pent-up resentment in our hearts.

Therefore, it was different from how Si Ji was treated.

Gu Qing, who goes all out, is completely different from his usual gentle and kind-hearted self. Perhaps this is the real him.

The fist and the snake's tail collided.

The seemingly larger side was actually at a complete disadvantage; the snake demon leader's tail was completely shattered, leaving only a few bone fragments.

The demon's blood dyed the river red.

The startled snake demon was then punched a second time by Gu Qing.

Just like he said, one punch! One punch!
The tremors at the bottom of the river continued for a long time. After an unknown period of time, a large, hard pit appeared in the turbid silt, covered with red bits of flesh and scales.

"Humph."

…………

…………

Qingshui Riverside.

Si Ji lay coiled on the lawn, looking worriedly at the river surface that had turned red. She wasn't worried about the snake demon or Gu Qing, but about her own fate.

Wow.

Gu Qing burst out of the water and landed beside Si Ji.

The knuckles on the back of his hands were a little red, and the Zhu Rong pattern on his upper body had disappeared. He looked like a slightly robust ordinary human, and even a little fair-skinned.

He said.

"This matter is settled, and I have understood all the details."

"Considering that you truly had no intention of hurting anyone and even offered to help me, I will let you off this time."

Si Ji was overjoyed and almost kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"but……"

The conversation took an abrupt turn, and Gu Qing's dramatic shifts in tone were too much for Si Ji's fragile heart to bear; she wondered what he had to say next.

"I'm letting you go today, but if you harm humans in the future, it will be my fault. Any innocent humans who die at your hands will be the same as those who die at my hands."

Si Ji understood immediately and swore an oath.

"Si Ji swears on the path of cultivation that if human cultivators do not harbor ill intentions towards me, I will never actively kill them. As for mortals... no matter what, Si Ji guarantees that she will never harm mortals for the rest of her life."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning, my body and soul perish, and I be forever condemned to the cycle of reincarnation!"

A person practicing spiritual cultivation should not make vows casually.

If one swears an oath on the path of enlightenment, breaking it can easily lead to being plagued by inner demons.

This is a punishment issued in response to the will of Heaven.

Being plagued by inner demons is a very troublesome thing for ordinary cultivators. It is easy to make mistakes during cultivation, which can lead to a series of consequences.

For geniuses and great cultivators, the power of inner demons is quite ordinary. Therefore, the Dao Oath can only restrain lower-level cultivators and some rogue cultivators.

It took some time to rewrite the paper.
