Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 72 Divine Consciousness Transforms into the Crimson Crow and Azure Sea Pill (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes!)

As Gu Qing finished preparing, she made a swallowing motion.

The fiery red spiritual seed, which was both real and illusory, squeezed into the marrow path through the opening of the Jade Pillow Pass, paused briefly, and absorbed some spiritual power from the Niwan Palace.

It sank rapidly, and wherever it passed, true energy boiled.

Gu Qing's true essence reserves were five times that of others of the same level.

This movement, when fed back to the outside world, caused the surrounding spiritual energy to form a funnel-shaped vortex, frantically pouring into his body.

The cultivation technique was activated, and the divine sense was organized.

The spiritual seed descended directly to the coccyx, where it absorbed some of the essence emanating from the lower dantian.

At this point, the fireball had completely materialized.

Then it rises to the Jiaji Pass, plunges in headfirst, and arrives at the middle Dantian Qi Sea!

The torrential true energy, like a torrential downpour, quickly converged, forming a pool of water centered on the point where the fireball landed. The water was a lustrous, jade-like red.

As flames rose, a crimson pillar of light completely pierced through Gu Qing's Qi Sea, remaining undiminished, and Gu Qing's innate fire spirit body was once again activated.

The Zhu Rong pattern manifests as individual runes.

Gradually, they connect, like words transforming into patterns that convey the Dao, becoming even and symmetrical, containing a mysterious rhythm.

Undoubtedly, his aptitude for the fire element has improved once again.

The divine spring has been successfully opened.

His cultivation level has advanced further.

The next step is to fill the entire Qi Sea, making the liquid true essence truly as vast as the sea.

Therefore, in the Golden Dew Abstinence Realm, one's strength is constantly improving, and one can say that one changes every month. This is not only true for Gu Qing, but also for other cultivators who undergo significant changes in this realm.

Three days have passed since the breakthrough.

Just as the sun was rising, Gu Qing took the opportunity to cultivate the [Morning Glow Purple Qi Strategy], condensing a drop of purple jade dew, which he swallowed and refined, attempting to increase his true essence.

However, at this stage, the effects of Purple Jade Dew have become increasingly weak, and its efficacy is not much different from that of Yellow Sprout Pill.

"It seems that the auxiliary cultivation method needs to be pushed to a higher level."

"We have enough points for the artifact, let's wait a few days until the divine spring is stable before making any further plans."

make up one's mind.

As he switched techniques, Gu Qing began refining his spirit.

It's unclear whether today was his lucky day, but his long-dormant Spirit Refining Technique broke through to the third level today.

Divine consciousness transforms into a crimson crow!
Niwan Palace.

This once gray and desolate place where gods reside is now illuminated by a fireball, glowing red. Crimson-gold threads of divine consciousness intertwine within the fireball, condensing into an egg-shaped core.

He's been stuck at this step for several years.

Taking advantage of the breakthrough in cultivation, he broke through the bottleneck in his spiritual sense.

The embryo of consciousness suddenly hatched.

A three-inch-three-inch red crow flew out from it, which was transformed from Gu Qing's divine sense. Even the feathers were lifelike. The crow was mainly red and decorated with thin golden threads.

The red crow wears a fiery crown on its head, its body wreathed in flames, its divine might unmatched.

The cultivation process of the third level of the [Fire Star Crimson Crow Diagram] involves allowing the sparse golden feathers to gradually fill the entire body, as if the divine sense is being continuously refined and tempered.

Until it transformed into a golden flame crow.

Then they arrived at the fourth level, where the red crow appeared in the Qianyang.

The golden feathers that it condenses are actually a kind of divine power with pure Yang attributes. Visualizing and strengthening them, refining them day by day, and finally condensing them with the Qianyang Divine Ring behind the head, represents breaking through to the fourth level.

Of course, Gu Qing has only broken through to the third level so far, and is still a long way from the next step.

The cultivation of the Spirit Refining Path will only become slower and slower.

It is difficult to achieve great success by relying on one's own hard work. Gu Qing has already taken a big lead over his peers because he started early and has high aptitude.

If we continue to work on it slowly, it will take more than ten years.

Therefore, it becomes necessary to seek help from elixirs or rare and precious materials.

However, his current focus in cultivation is still on the fundamental realm.

The divine spring was born, and true essence transformed into a pool of crimson water. He needed to find new elixirs to accelerate the accumulation of true essence, a requirement different from the popular demands of the cultivation world.

The Taotie head serves as an external refining device.

What he wanted was a potent pill that took a long time to refine, which would greatly increase his cultivation speed.

The mainstream cultivation pills in the cultivation world are generally mild, with relatively few strong ones.

After all, it's just ordinary cultivation, not breaking through a bottleneck.

He would need to go to Elder Gonglu himself to find him.

Currently, the bottle of pills in the annual salary is a mid-grade eighth-rank pill called Xuan Yuan Dan, which is considered an upgraded version of Huang Ya Dan. One bottle contains twelve pills and is worth 24 contribution points.

That's not enough for him.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Refining Hall.

Elder Gonglu is the disciple of the Palace Master. He is a generation younger than Elder Jiang, but he has already broken through to the lower seventh rank. He is a great cultivator and also a seventh-rank weapon refiner, capable of refining low-grade spiritual weapons.

The fact that they could manage the finances of an entire region demonstrates the depth of their relationship.

In fact, the founder of the Sword Casting Manor was once the head of the Sword Casting Pavilion under the Refining Hall, and his connections and assets in the Sword Casting Pavilion were inherited by Fang Henshao's senior brother.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Gu Qing has been in Baiyue Mountain for so long.

I honestly don't know much about the intricacies and reasons behind this.

Otherwise, if he could have gotten some connections, he wouldn't be in this position of steward, which is still a sinecure with a salary but no real job.

Elder Yao.

"Gu Qing, you're here to exchange things again. You've made quite a bit of money, haven't you?"

"I am still young and energetic, and I am quite capable in weapon crafting. I will make the most of my youth."

The implication is not that it's about earning more, but about doing more work.

This left Elder Yao speechless; the logic was sound.

Despite his efforts over the past three years, Gu Qing didn't actually accumulate many contribution points. His contributions were primarily from cultivating pills and exchanging for refining materials.

He didn't accumulate his Dao points entirely by getting them for free.

Besides, I recently bought a treasure pouch worth 500 contribution points, so I'm actually quite strapped for cash.

I took the exchange booklet.

Gu Qing flipped directly to the pills section and examined them one by one.

There are no fewer than a hundred kinds of pills suitable for eighth-grade cultivators, many of which are specific to certain types, while only a dozen or so are universally applicable.

For example, there is the [Jia Wood Pill] suitable for cultivating wood-element techniques, the [Fire Blaze Pill] suitable for fire-element techniques, and the [Gui Water Pill] suitable for water-element techniques.

Such examples include the Fiery Pill, which is very suitable for Gu Qing to use, but as mentioned before, it is too smooth and not suitable for refining with the Gluttonous Head.

Tossing and turning.

Gu Qing's gaze finally settled on a pill.

"Azure Sea Pill!"

This pill is special because it contains a large amount of spiritual herbal essence, and is said to have a medicinal power as vast as the sea. One pill can take a mid-level eighth-grade cultivator a year to refine.

Therefore, this special type of pill is often sold in bottles.

Price: 30 contribution points.

It's 6 points more expensive than the Xuan Yuan Dan.

After silently calculating her wallet, Gu Qing said shyly.

"Elder Yao, please exchange 3 Azure Sea Pills for me."

"Wow, good eye."

"This Azure Sea Pill can not only increase true essence by a large amount, but the medicinal power that is continuously digested during the year of continuous refining can also slightly improve the physique."

"It is a secret elixir passed down by the True Man Wanyi of the Pill Palace."
