My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

This was not the first time Gu Qing had used the Fruit Shadow Clone Technique for cultivation. When Gu Qing first came to the valley for secluded cultivation, Lan Siqi had already seen Gu Qing's Fruit Shadow Clone Technique.

only……

Gu Qing has pushed the [Heavy Water Elixir Method] to its limit in just one year, which is simply too astonishing.

When magic is pushed to its limits, it becomes possible to use magic as a medium to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth.

They can also comprehend the techniques related to magic, such as array formations and magical artifacts.

During the second trial, Gu Qing mastered the sand control technique to its extreme and suddenly comprehended the profound mystery of gravity. He also refined the Karmic Fire Sand Melting Gourd into a semi-spiritual artifact.

"Young friend Gu's talent is truly terrifying."

"No wonder you spoke so highly of young friend Gu before!"

The top-grade alchemy furnace artifact in front of Gu Qing was formed from the primordial energy of the surrounding mountains and rivers, making its starting point quite remarkable. If properly nurtured, it has a high chance of transforming into a magic treasure, or even a spiritual treasure, in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Qing will definitely become a strong person in the future.

Reaching the Purple Mansion and Nascent Soul realms will not be a problem.

As a powerful cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm, Qingluan once again looked at Gu Qing with new respect and genuinely regarded him as a future fellow Daoist.

"More than just scary."

Upon hearing this, Lan Siqi couldn't help but shake his head and continue, "Fellow Daoist Gu has become even more terrifying than before. Back when he was still in the Qi Refining Realm, he was able to achieve such results even when he was cultivating alone."

"But now, Fellow Daoist Gu also has 20 external brains to help him comprehend various true techniques and secret teachings."

"Compared to his previous cultivation efficiency, he's now taking off from the same spot."

Looking at the twenty fruit shadow clones not far from Gu Qing, a hint of envy flashed in Lan Siqi's eyes.

And who could resist running multiple instances of the upgrade?

As Gu Qing's strength grows, he will create more and more clones in the future, and the benefits of cultivating with these clones will naturally increase.

"pity."

"The Fruit Shadow Clone Technique is a profound power of the wood element, which we fire element cultivators cannot learn."

Lan Siqi had asked this question before.

Gu Qing did not conceal the key points: to cultivate the profound mystery of the Fruit Shadow Clone Technique, one must first activate two other prerequisite profound mysteries, namely the Flower Blooming Profound Mystery and the Flower Withering Profound Mystery.

Between the blooming and withering of flowers, the power of the wood element undergoes the tempering of life and death before it can comprehend the profound mysteries of the fruit's shadow.

It's extremely difficult.

Gu Qing's cultivation speed was so fast that Lan Siqi felt a sense of urgency, as if he was about to be pushed onto the beach by the next wave.

With better talent and 20 clones to help him cultivate, he couldn't see any way to catch up with Gu Qing in the art of alchemy.

At this rate, it won't be long before Gu Qing's cultivation level catches up with his, and he will soon surpass him.

"You guys!"

"Instead of envying the characteristics of wood-based Taoist techniques, it's better to thoroughly understand the features of your own cultivation method. Any profound power, when cultivated to a high level, has endless wonderful uses."

Just as Lan Siqi was feeling uneasy, a warm voice came from behind Qingluan and Lan Siqi.

Upon hearing this sound,

Lan Siqi felt a gentle breeze blow through his heart, dispelling his anxiety and carrying away the inexplicable jealousy that had welled up inside him.

Lan Siqi turned around and saw Feng Qiwu descending from the sky in a long, bright red dress with gold thread. He quickly bowed and said:

"Palace Master, I just inexplicably lost control of my emotions. Please forgive me."

"It's alright."

"This is only human nature; becoming stronger is an instinct etched into the blood and soul of all living beings. Whether they are creatures of the void or mayflies and insects, they all have this thought."

"We cultivators have a desire to become stronger that is many times stronger than that of ordinary people. The important thing is to learn to control these thoughts and turn them into motivation on the path of cultivation."

Feng Qiwu smiled and comforted her.

Just as the three were chatting, Gu Qing, who was in the distance, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ten-meter-diameter alchemy furnace.

"Small!"

Gu Qing's mind stirred slightly, and she silently recited the words.

next moment.

The ten-meter-diameter Xuanhuang alchemy furnace quickly shrank to the size of a palm and flew into Gu Qing's hand.

Compared to the Karmic Fire Melting Sand Gourd, this treasure has a much more solid foundation.

Its functions are also more comprehensive; it can be used for alchemy, as well as for fighting enemies, combining offense and defense.

"That's really good."

A clear smile appeared on Gu Qing's face.

If this Xuanhuang alchemy furnace were in the Immortal Kingdom, it would cost at least four or five hundred thousand spirit coins to acquire.

They unexpectedly received a large sum of money.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "awesome".

"Young friend Gu, you always manage to create surprises."

"You have cultivated the Heavy Water Elixir Technique to its highest level in just one year."

Gu Qing was happily examining the Mountain and River Creation Furnace in his hand.

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu's voice, Gu Qing straightened his clothes, transformed into a streak of blue light from the boulder, and quickly arrived in front of the three.

"Greetings to the three seniors."

"For nearly a year, I am very grateful to Senior Lan and Senior Qingluan for personally protecting me."

The commotion caused by Gu Qing's cultivation of the secret technique affected an area of ​​dozens of miles. If no one was there to protect him, other beings would surely come to disturb him.

Lan Siqi cupped his hands in greeting.

While observing Gu Qing's cultivation of the [Heavy Water Elixir Technique], Lan Siqi's understanding of the profound mysteries of the dual attributes of water and earth was indeed greatly enhanced through the Dao essence emanating from Gu Qing's body.

"You flatter me, senior."

He paused, then looked at Feng Qiwu and said, "Palace Master, you didn't come here specifically to see me, did you?"

"I wonder what brings the Palace Master here personally?"

Having been in Phoenix Palace for over a year, Gu Qing has a pretty good relationship with the three palace masters.

He then jokingly remarked.

Seeing Gu Qing like this, Feng Qiwu smiled gently.

After spending more time with Gu Qing, she discovered that Gu Qing was not like a person from the Immortal Kingdom at all, especially in some small matters, where he would occasionally reveal some interesting ideas.

"Young friend Gu, your progress in cultivation is indeed beyond expectations."

"Given the talent and comprehension you've shown, there's an important plan that might be put on the agenda."

"Seven years later."

"It will be the Phoenix Clan's centennial celebration, when people from the other three continents will come to witness the event."

"In addition, there are mercenaries from your immortal kingdom who have come to this plane to participate in the grand ceremony at Phoenix Palace, and they will try to seize the Phoenix Perching Wutong Tree from Phoenix Palace."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled, "Palace Master, the Phoenix Perching Tree is so wondrous, why would you have it leaked out?"

"hehe."

"You're mistaken. The Phoenix-Perching Wutong tree that flowed out of Phoenix Palace is not this innate spiritual root, but a secondary spiritual root cultivated from the seeds of the Wutong tree."

"As for why this wood was produced..."

"This is not a bad thing for the Phoenix Clan. The fact that the Immortal Kingdom brought this wood back to the Divine Kingdom to cultivate it will benefit the Phoenix Clan's population expansion."

"I see!"

Gu Qing suddenly realized.

The second mercenary mission wasn't to steal the innate spiritual root, but to obtain the secondary Phoenix-Perching Tree.

Having grasped the key point, Gu Qing pressed further, "Palace Master, what does the centennial celebration have to do with me?"
