Chapter 433: Star Moon Marketplace

Master Cold Crow was taken aback by Qin Ming.

‘So this youngster wasn’t here to settle accounts with me.’

He sighed in relief, then smiled and accepted the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice.

“Fellow Daoist Qin is too polite. How can I accept this? This Seat saw that you were chatting quite intently, and I also had something to do, so I took my leave first.”

“It’s not that I left without saying goodbye, haha.”

Even though he said that, he didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed, directly putting away the bag of spirit rice without showing any expression, and the smile on his face grew even richer.

“Hey! This Old Man should have realized long ago that Shopkeeper Lu was you, otherwise, as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage ‘Shopkeeper Lu,’ how could you have such a close and friendly relationship with the Silver Moon Demon Saint?”

“Now that we meet again, Fellow Daoist Qin and we are all of the same path, it’s truly a cause for great emotion.”

“I hope you won’t take those previous matters to heart.”

The green-robed youngster, Master Cold Crow, looked as though he was sighing with emotion.

“What matters were there previously?”

“Qin is like an old friend to Daoist Han Ya, regretting not meeting sooner. I’m afraid we will have to contact each other more in the future.” Qin Ming smiled faintly.

Master Cold Crow’s face twitched when he heard this. He secretly thought: It would be best if we never met again in the future.

Because every time he met Qin Ming, he was always very unlucky.

And.

Qin Ming’s gaze at him always had a feeling that made him shiver.

Master Cold Crow had already made up his mind, he must stay away from this person in the future!

While Qin Ming was secretly pondering how to befriend the cultivator in front of him, who had a profound Fortunate Fate.

Always able to bring him good luck.

If things go well, he will become a mobile treasure trove in the future.

“Since Daoist Han Ya has important matters to attend to, Qin will not try to make you stay.”

“I was originally planning to invite you to stay on the island for a few more days, to experience the scenery of the Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands.”

“It seems it can only be next time.”

Seeing that the other party didn’t want to stay long, Qin Ming didn’t force it either.

Master Cold Crow replied with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Qin, please stay. Today, time is pressing, and This Seat still needs to return to the Defenders of the Dao Alliance to deal with the matter of the Demonic Tribulation. We will meet again if we are fated.”

Then, without saying another word, he turned into a startling rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

After flying far away.

Only then did Master Cold Crow curse, “This brat always causes me a bunch of trouble. The favor he owed me back then is considered paid off, and it’s best if we never meet again. This Ancestor has done his best!”

Immediately, he took out the bag of Third Rank Jade Emperor Spirit Rice and weighed it in his hand, smiling as if he had gotten a cheap bargain, “Hopefully, that brat discovered that the Void Yuan Stone has flaws, and his mentality can still be so peaceful, hehe.”

Qin Ming then watched Master Cold Crow leave and returned to Moonview Island.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony had ended, and the island had returned to tranquility.

However, the entire Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands was still lively, and many powers and Free Cultivators, influenced by Moon Gazing True Lord’s reputation, chose to migrate their clans here.

Even though most of them were First-Order Spirit Veins, they quickly united and established a large marketplace, the ‘Star Moon Marketplace,’ under the guidance of the Four Nations Alliance and the Seventy-Two Island Alliance.

Guiding trade between spirit islands.

They even attracted forces from the surrounding Three Nations to settle here.

There were countless merchants and Free Cultivators who came here to speculate.

For a time, the scale of the Star Moon Marketplace had surpassed any large Immortal City in the Four Nations.

Just like that, with the central islands as the core, a sea bridge was erected in the sky, connecting dozens of surrounding small islands.

Countless magnificent and gorgeous complexes of buildings, rose from the ground in the Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands, forming a huge maritime marketplace.

And this Star Moon Marketplace was jointly managed by the Seventy-Two Island Alliance and the Four Nations Alliance.

The forces of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World were proud to be able to settle here.

Those native Cultivation Clans of the Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands, stood at the forefront of this trend and took off directly.

With the influx of large amounts of resources.

Even many Qi Refining small clans gave birth to Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and rose to become Foundation Establishment Clans.

Foundation Establishment Pills are auctioned off every few years in the Star Moon Marketplace.

Under the influence of the Fourth-Order Spirit Vein on Moonview Island, several Spirit Veins that were abundant in Spiritual Energy of the Third Rank were gradually starting to be cultivated.

……

Above the main peak of Moonview Island.

The Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, under the environment of the Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, had lush foliage, its crown covered the sky, and silver Runes were swirling and changing.

It was like a world tree standing for eternity.

It was even more mysterious than the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree that was guarding the gate of the secret realm of Qingyuan Sect.

However, all of this could only be seen by Qin Ming himself.

Qin Ming finished his daily practice of Kung Fu, and the aura of Magical Power on him was like a terrifying abyss, unfathomable.

After cultivating the 《Azure Emperor Technique》, a vibrant Emerald Green vitality, was knotting and lingering on his body.

Echoing with his own Natal Spirit Plant.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his Natal Spirit Plant Divine Ability, the Four Seasons Divine Light, also underwent another anomaly.

Now it can produce seventy-two strands of the Four Seasons Divine Light at once.

He tried it, and could even make the near-death Spiritual Beasts or Plants and Trees, instantly generate white bones and flesh, revive, and be reborn.

“Tsk tsk tsk, your Divine Ability is truly sharp! This Old Man has never heard of it in so many years. I don’t know if it can be used on this Old Man.” Qingyang Old Demon exclaimed in the Blood Pagoda.

Looking as if he was willing to be a test subject.

“If that’s the case, let’s give it a try.”

Hearing him say that, Qin Ming also wanted to try, and immediately activated a strand of Emerald Green Four Seasons Divine Light, and injected it into the Blood Pagoda.

In an instant, Qingyang Old Demon’s originally very dim Soul Body phantom, immediately became more solidified.

Qingyang Old Demon immediately felt a surge of vibrant vitality, the whole person was greatly invigorated and extremely comfortable!

“Fellow Daoist Qin, it really works!”

“More, give me more!”

Just as he was excited, the Four Seasons Divine Light in Qin Ming’s hand abruptly stopped, and retracted.

Qingyang Old Demon was stunned, “Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you mean? This Old Man has fought to the death to resist the Heavenly Tribulation for you!”

“This Old Man has shed blood for you and risked his life. Now my divine soul is also under your control, what misgivings are you not at ease about?”

Qin Ming chuckled, “This Four Seasons Divine Light is extremely rare, and This Seat can only condense a few strands after a very long time, so it’s not worth it to waste them all on you.”

“Unless you can show some value that interests This Seat, why don’t you tell me about your background?”

As soon as this was said, Qingyang Old Demon seemed to have some Hidden Difficulties, pondered silently, and immediately changed to another request:

“Then let this Old Man go to that Star Sea Divine Vine, to rest and nurture my divine soul for a while, that should be alright, right?”

Qin Ming nodded in agreement, “That’s indeed possible.”

Qingyang Old Demon did indeed perform Meritorious Service when he underwent the Tribulation, his Performance was outstanding, and meeting a small request was also reasonable.

Immediately, Qingyang Old Demon’s spirit body floated out of the Blood Pagoda and landed on the Colorful Light Divine Vine, meditating to recover.

The effect of repairing the divine soul, although not as obvious as the Four Seasons Divine Light, was also slowly nourishing his spirit body and divine soul.

Immediately afterward.

He then began to browse the Jade Slip he had obtained from True Lord Longmu, which contained methods for cultivating the Fourth Rank Spirit Rice Blood Flood Dragon Rice.

If this kind of Spirit Rice was cultivated, it would definitely be of great help to Qin Ming’s cultivation in the future Nascent Soul Stage.

It can also be used to brush Attributes, and it is unknown what kind of Attributes can be refreshed for the Fourth Rank Spirit Rice.

“The necessary conditions for the early-stage cultivation of Blood Flood Dragon Rice: Fourth-Order Spirit Vein environment, Azure Sky Spirit Soil, Profound Yellow Essence, Earth Spirit Spring, late Third Rank or above, and a certain amount of essence blood and living soul of a Snake Dragon-like Demonic Beast”

After Qin Ming finished reading this Jade Slip, he found that cultivating this Fourth Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Rice was truly extraordinarily complex and difficult.

The Spirit Materials that were listed in the front were definitely not available in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World.

He would have to spend some Kung Fu gathering them from the outside.

This kind of Fourth Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Rice could not be cultivated on a large scale. After all, the required cultivating Spirit Materials were extremely rare, and there were many Restrictions.

It’s even calculated by the plant.

Afterward, Qin Ming listed these things on a List and handed it to Wei Wuya to have people pay close attention to them.

After all, Qin Ming was now a Nascent Soul Big Shot and did not need to worry about these things himself.

Now the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, all relied on him, the Nascent Soul True Lord, to protect them, and naturally, he should enjoy the Offering that he deserved.

Within the Four Nations Alliance, a Treasure Trove was also specially established, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures gathered from all over the place would be added here for Qin Ming’s Cultivation.

However, the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World was truly too poor, and Qin Ming didn’t expect them to get anything advanced.

Qin Ming was a Hands-off Shopkeeper, and he actually didn’t hold any position in any power, as the saying goes, passing through a field of flowers without touching a leaf.

He had absolutely no Misgivings, and had the same concerns as other Nascent Soul True Lords.

Therefore, Qin Ming remains a single person, his comings and goings are at will, and can be said to be free and unfettered.

The Southern Wilderness Cultivation World only needed his reputation as a Nascent Soul True Lord, which was enough to deter everything.

“Fight to the death for the Southern Wilderness? That doesn’t exist.”

……

Several days after the Grand Ceremony ended.

In a Hidden Place in the Beast Howl Mountains on the border of the Wei Kingdom, the True Lord of Gloom Sand, who had left the Nascent Soul Ceremony not long ago, and Master Li Huo were communicating privately.

The True Lord of Gloom Sand, in a Yellow-Robed, with a Thin figure, and a Sharp gaze, he raised his hand to unleash a Barrier, and then spoke in a very serious Tone to Master Li Huo:

“How is it? Old Ghost Li Huo, what do you think of This Seat’s Proposal?”

“If you can’t bring yourself to do it, This Seat can take action first.”

“The Demonic Beast Core of the Dark Water Serpent on the new Nascent Soul, the Moon Gazing True Lord, is a rare treasure, and this opportunity won’t come again.”

“Besides, there are several other Precious Treasures, a chance not to be missed!”

“This Seat has already investigated clearly, he has no connections, and besides knowing those two Demon Saints, he has no other Connections.”

“As long as it’s done flawlessly, even if he is a Free Cultivator Nascent Soul, no one will avenge him.”

“With our two people’s Strength, even if he has undergone the Earth Fiend Heavenly Tribulation, what does it matter? After all, he’s a newly Advanced Nascent Soul, without several years of Adaptation and Rest, he won’t be able to skillfully adapt to the Nascent Soul Mana Realm, not to mention the Magical Artifacts.”

Master Li Huo’s Complexion immediately sank when he finished listening.

“This Old Man thought you were looking for me in private for what reason, it turns out it was this matter.”

“Fellow Daoist You Sha, don’t bring this matter up again, This Old Man will never cooperate with you.”

“First of all, not to mention that the Human Race and the Demon Race have just finished their Peace Talks and are preparing to engage in more in-depth Cooperation, at this Key Point, to attack Qin, Fellow Daoist, this important Nexus, This Seat absolutely cannot agree.”

“Moreover, this Old Man is reminding Fellow Daoist You Sha, out of consideration for our long-standing Friendship, although the Moon Gazing True Lord just underwent the Lightning Tribulation, his Divine Ability is not to be underestimated.”

“Even This Old Man has a feeling of fright, and can’t see his depth at all.”

“If you fail with one strike, and let him Escape, you will have to bear his wrath.”

“A Free Cultivator Nascent Soul’s Revenge, who has no Power to be burdened with, and is completely without Misgivings, can imagine how Terror it will be.”

“All of your Disciples and Grand-Disciples, added together, are not enough for him to kill alone.”

“Treasures are good, but you must think twice before acting.”

“This Seat has said all I have to say, and I hope you take care.”

“I still have to go back and deal with the matters in the palace, so I will take my leave first.”

Then, Master Li Huo didn’t say any more, and turned into a Scarlet Rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

The True Lord of Gloom Sand’s Gaze was profound, gazing at the direction where Master Li Huo was leaving, and on his wax-yellow Countenance, he was still a little unwilling.

“This Seat’s 《Gloom Water Scripture》, has already been cultivated to a Key Point, if there is this special Water Attribute Demonic Beast Core of the Dark Water Serpent, I can definitely break through to the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, and who can do anything to me then?”

“Old Ghost Li Huo is really getting more and more timid as he gets older. If you don’t dare to do it, This Seat will find someone else to cooperate with, humph!”

The True Lord of Gloom Sand thought it over and over, and suddenly, a Stream of Light flashed through his mind, and he remembered a person.

……

Another Half a Year passed.

On this day.

Qin Ming was taking care of the Spirit Plants in the Herb Garden that he had planted.

The Heaven Devouring Rat, carrying the Shennong Hoe, followed behind him and helped him as a laborer.

As Qin Ming said, it has been eating and drinking too well recently, and needs some proper Movement.

After all, they three didn’t eat less of the Spirit Herbs and Spirit Fruits in here.

While working.

Qin Ming’s Divine Sense moved, and immediately a Smile appeared on his face:

“Heaven Devouring Rat, stop working, a guest has arrived, go and help me welcome them.”

“Just five hundred miles to the Northern Side of the Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands.”

The Heaven Devouring Rat immediately grinned, and tossed the Shennong Hoe on the ground: “Yes! Master, I will go and welcome them.”

“Who’s coming? What is the Standard for welcoming them?”

“Su Yuqing and Hua Tianxiong are coming.” Qin Ming replied.

“Then I understand!” The Heaven Devouring Rat immediately patted its chest.

Immediately, it called over the Black Water Crocodile, and then drove the Lingxiao Treasure Chariot, having it pull the carriage in front, eight Green Wave Seahorses opened the way, radiating five-colored Treasure Light, turning into a majestic Stream of Light, and gradually disappearing into the sky above the Spirit Island.

……

Outer Perimeter of the Spirit Dwelling Group of Islands.

Inside the Golden Imperial Carriage, the Space was spacious, and only Su Yuqing and Hua Tianxiong were sitting.

“Alas! I had to undergo Secluded Cultivation for Refining Pills, but missed Brother Qin’s Nascent Soul Ceremony, it’s a pity I couldn’t Witness it.”

“After not seeing each other for so long, I didn’t expect that he would reach the Nascent Soul Stage before me.”

Su Yuqing, wearing a white robe, had a Profound gaze, and couldn’t help but sigh.

The two who walked out of Qingyang Marketplace back then, didn’t expect that they could reach this step.

At this moment, the aura of Magical Power that he was emitting, had already reached Golden Core Realm, and was only one last step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.
