Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Lin Xiu turned around and saw the rare variety Gu Jinqi, still wearing the embroidered robe with branches and leaves, with a gentle expression.

In early spring, she furrowed her eyebrows and casually put down the teacup.

"Since Fellow Daoist Gu is itching to try, then it's no trouble. There happens to be an empty room, feel free to use it."

After speaking, she turned and went downstairs.

"Haha, this bootlicker has finally evolved a bit!"

Lin Xiu secretly smiled and turned to Gu Jinqi, cupping her hands.

"Thank you, Senior Gu, but..."

Gu Jinqi smiled faintly, "As a formation master, how could you not know how to refine tools?"

Lin Xiu cursed herself for being foolish. As the top expert in various arts, a formation master was basically versatile. Many techniques of refining tools, making talismans, and concocting pills were based on formations. How could this person not have dabbled in them?

"Come with me, it's been a long time since I've refined martial weapons!"

The two of them arrived at a room specifically used for refining tools. There was a formation in the room that directed the earth fire to a furnace, making it extremely convenient for craftsmen to melt various materials.

Gu Jinqi glanced at the furnace and reached out his hand.

"Give me all the materials."

Then, he took the piece of ice silver and was momentarily stunned.

"Just this?"

Lin Xiu blinked her eyes and immediately understood.

"What else do you need? I'll go buy it right away, Junior is sorry!"

Gu Jinqi carefully examined the ore and shook his head. "How long would that take? I haven't even talked to Chun Chun today!"

After speaking, he threw the ore into the air.

"Set!"

Then, a hot white flame shot out from his fingertips.

"Melt!"

Even the nearby furnace was not used.

Lin Xiu opened her mouth wide and retreated to the corner of the wall, sweating on her forehead.

"It's Dan Fire... This... Gu Jinqi is actually a Gold Core cultivator!"

She had always thought that although Gu Jinqi deliberately hid his cultivation level, at most, he was only at the peak of Foundation Building.

It was the first time she had seen a Gold Core cultivator chasing after a girl.

Although including this person, as well as the patriarch of his family, she had only seen four Gold Core cultivators.

She truly had her eyes opened!

Under the scorching of the Dan Fire, the ice silver ore quickly turned into a liquid, with impurities constantly falling off.

Finally, it turned into a silver ball the size of a fist.

Gu Jinqi nodded and casually asked, "What style do you need?"

"Senior, this is for my wife, so..."

"I understand!"

Gu Jinqi pointed with his hand, and the silver ball began to change, gradually transforming into a soaring phoenix with spread wings, vivid and lifelike. The three tail feathers even appeared in silver, gold, and blue colors.

Then, the phoenix seemed to let out a clear cry and immediately transformed into the shape of a sword.

The phoenix head became the sword's hilt, the phoenix body became the sword's handle, and the pair of wings turned into the sword guard in the shape of spread wings. The three tail feathers separated into three sword bodies.

Gu Jinqi looked at the three-colored sword bodies, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. The three sword bodies quickly merged into one, and finally, Lin Xiu saw a beautiful sword with a golden blade, a blue spine, and a silver edge.

But it wasn't over yet.

"Gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood. Does Fellow Daoist Lin want this sword to be more resilient or sharper?"

Lin Xiu understood that this was about adding formations. The ice silver ore could only incorporate one attribute of a formation.

Therefore, Gu Jinqi wanted her to choose.

"The way of the martial sword is supreme, one sword can break ten thousand techniques. Naturally, it should be a gold-based formation!"

Gu Jinqi nodded.

"One sword can break ten thousand techniques, what a heroic poem! For this poem, I'll give you something. Who said that this ice silver ore can only be infused with one formation?"

As he spoke, he had an exquisite and translucent yellow crystal in his hand, which he casually crushed into powder.

"Refine!"

The powder quickly formed a visible Eight Trigrams formation disk and flew onto the shining sword.

The ancient and modern mysterious hand technique, unpredictable and unfathomable, one after another, the flames were struck into this formation plate.

Until the formation plate emitted an extremely heavy earth elemental fluctuation, then he shouted loudly,

"Love is stronger than gold, blue ice water, the combination of gold and water, the earth element, merge!"

The formation plate quickly collided with the sword, melting into the sword like a stone sinking into water, without any trace of abnormality.

In just a breath, the entire sword emitted a three-colored glow.

It trembled twenty-one times in a row, flew around the room, and finally fell into the hands of Gu Jinqi.

He lightly waved the sword hilt, and there was a faint phoenix cry.

He admired it, seemingly satisfied, and then threw it to the dumbfounded Lin Xiu.

"It has merged with the combination of gold and water and the earth element formation. It can be considered a decent sword. I have left room for it. When it obtains a transparent beast soul in the future, its power will increase by more than fifty percent!"

Lin Xiu played with the sword happily.

"I ask the senior to give this sword a name."

"It's just equivalent to a second-grade middle-tier Law Weapon. It's not worthy of me giving it a name. You can name it whatever you want!"

Lin Xiu was so angry that he spat blood. This person was too good at pretending.

A second-grade middle-tier sword wasn't worthy of having a name?

Just as he was about to decide to pay a large sum of money to Gu Jinqi for the refining cost, Gu Jinqi flicked his sleeve, not even giving him a glance, and hurriedly walked out of the room. He probably went to find Chu Chun.

Lin Xiu played with the sword in the room for a while, liking it very much, and then put it into his storage bag and went downstairs.

With a tilt of his head, he saw that Gu Jinqi was indeed following Chu Chun closely, without the imposing manner he had when refining the sword.

"Senior Gu, about the fee..."

He didn't want to take advantage of this person and wanted to pay the fee.

Gu Jinqi gave him a meaningful look, and he immediately understood.

Got it!

He quickly left the Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Chun saw everything and smiled slightly.

"Since Senior Gu doesn't accept his fee, then let's pay the fee for using the refining room. Three middle-grade spirit stones, no discount!"

"Uh, this..."

Gu Jinqi reluctantly handed over three spirit stones, then glanced at Chu Chun who was playing with the spirit stones and transmitted his voice.

"I have already seen a clue about the large formation set up outside the secret realm."

Chu Chun waved her hand, indicating for him to go to the quiet room on the second floor. She was curious.

"I'm really curious. What tricks does the formation master who is known as the third best in the Spirit Nation have up his sleeve?"

A trace of gloom appeared in Gu Jinqi's eyes.

Although that large formation does not exist in any formation books, it cannot exceed the Yin and Yang poles and the Five Elements Bagua. It's just that someone intentionally used secret methods to conceal its essence.

"Someone intentionally?"

"Don't forget, Wei Qianqiu of the Purple Cloud Sect is also a master of formations!"

Chu Chun was shocked and couldn't help but stand up.

"Are you saying that Wei Qianqiu had already broken through the secret realm, but for some reason, it was repaired and a method to disturb the Nascent Soul cultivators of the five major sects was added?"

"It's very possible. It seems that his goal is not only to betray the Purple Cloud Sect, but also one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, no one understands why he would betray the Great Xia Nation sect."

Chu Chun sat back down and pondered for a long time.

This casual posture actually made Gu Jinqi stare blankly.

"Cough cough~"

Chu Chun coughed a few times.

"If only we knew Wei Qianqiu's true intentions. Also, does Senior Gu really want to help the five major sects break through the secret realm formation?"

Gu Jinqi immediately regained his senses and chuckled.

"If we don't break through, how can we know what tricks these people are playing?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the huge defensive formation tower standing in the center of the sect's hall, squinting his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I always feel that there is something wrong with this defensive formation, but it seems flawless."

"Although your words are confusing, danger often hides within safety."
