Chapter 213: Caught
On the Spirit Island, a thief was at large, but Qin Ming was helpless against this fellow, which truly made them depressed.
They carefully inspected the Third Rank Black Tortoise Covering Sea Great Formation, and there were no loopholes or anomalies.
“This is truly strange.”
Next.
Qin Ming accelerated the acceleration of ripening, accelerating the ripening of all the remaining Spirit Peaches on the five Five Elements Vitality Peach trees, and quickly harvested them.
Subsequently, two azure Term Leaf, instantly appeared in Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness.
“Originally, I could have harvested more than twenty Spirit Peaches, but unfortunately, the peach thief stole and ate ten, it’s really hateful.” Qin Ming picked up the Spirit Peaches in their hand, gave one to the Black Water Crocodile, and also increased its lifespan.
With such a disaster on the Spirit Island, how could Qin Ming sleep? Immediately, they would have to find a way to find the peach thief.
Otherwise, their Spirit Plants would inevitably be ruined.
“Being able to escape my Divine Sense investigation, which is comparable to the Golden Core Stage, is definitely not an ordinary monster.”
“But before that, I will first improve my strength.”
Qin Ming let the Black Water Crocodile protect the outside of the Immortal’s Cave, and then with a thought, used the 【Abundant Lifespan】X5 Attribute.
In Fate.
A vast Power of Years was suddenly applied to Qin Ming.
Immediately, their lifespan increased by a full two hundred and fifty years, and their total lifespan reached over eight hundred and sixty years.
It can be said that it is very long, far exceeding the lifespan of a Golden Core Ancestor.
Qin Ming grinned, feeling the joy brought by the increase in lifespan.
After a moment.
They then used the 【Qi and Blood Source】Attribute.
A force of Qi and Blood, unprecedented and surging, gushed out from their body, unceasingly, and rushed along the Meridians.
Qin Ming quickly took advantage of the situation and began to cultivate the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》.
Two days later.
Behind Qin Ming, blood light suddenly burst forth!
The blood-colored phantom of the Four-Armed Demon Ape appeared automatically, and the mighty Qi and Blood True Essence was continuously condensed, the figure of the Crimson Demon Ape became clearer, and gradually, a majestic Armor appeared on the Demon Ape’s body, overbearing in all directions!
“The conditions for the third transformation of True Essence Transformation have finally been met!”
At this moment, their physical body was strengthened again, and their power soared, like a Primal Beast in human form, invincible.
Next, Qin Ming once again took out the animal hide and injected their Qi and Blood True Essence into it.
After a moment.
After reaching the cultivation conditions, various Hundred Beasts Visualization Charts of Demonic Beasts once again lit up on the animal hide map.
Qin Ming immersed their Mind and began to choose the Demonic Beast phantom.
After a few breaths.
They withdrew from the Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart, but their complexion became somewhat unsightly.
“To completely cultivate the third transformation of True Essence Transformation, I actually need to refine the Essence Blood of three Second Stage Perfection Demonic Beasts?”
“Isn’t this difficulty too great?”
Qin Ming immediately became worried; the Essence Blood of Second Stage Perfection Demonic Beasts was not easy to obtain.
They had barely managed to slay a Second Stage Perfection Earthshaking Bear Demon last time, but they had already fed it to advance their Natal Spirit Plant.
However, Qin Ming also learned from the Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart.
It is for a reason that the third transformation of True Essence Transformation is so difficult.
Because, once the third transformation is cultivated, Body Refining Technique will reach a realm comparable to the Golden Core Stage.
“It seems that the matter of Demonic Beast Essence Blood can only be planned slowly.”
The cultivation ended.
Qin Ming was just about to go out for some fresh air.
Suddenly!
A commotion came from outside the Immortal’s Cave, and the urgent call of the Black Water Crocodile was also received in their Mind.
Qin Ming’s complexion changed!
‘Could it be that the peach thief has come out to commit crimes again?’
Their figure immediately blurred, and instantly disappeared from the original location.
When they reappeared, they had arrived under their Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, according to the signal sent by the Black Water Crocodile.
But when Qin Ming saw the scene before them, it couldn’t help but surprise them.
“Such a big rat!”
They saw a huge Gray Rat Demon hanging on a black vine of the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine.
It was firmly entwined by the vine at this moment, and no matter how it struggled, it was to no avail, swinging on a swing under the tree, looking quite comical.
“Good! Finally caught it!”
Qin Ming’s gaze was sharp, their Divine Sense swept over it, and confirmed that this Rat Demon was indeed the black shadow that had stolen the Spirit Peaches from under their nose that day.
It seemed that this fellow had not changed their thieving heart. After stealing the Spirit Peaches, they also wanted to steal the Third-Order Spirit Transformation Demon Fruit under their Natal Spirit Plant, and they were caught by the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine.
However, the more Qin Ming looked at this Rat Demon, the more familiar it seemed.
It was as if they had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in their head!
“This…this!”
“How come it’s somewhat similar to the Third-Ranked Demon King Sky-Devouring Rat that attacked Canghai Immortal City?!”
However, this Gray Rat Demon, only has the cultivation of the late First Rank, which is equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage of the Human Race.
Even so, Qin Ming was still frightened into a cold sweat, they did not dare to be careless, and immediately took out the Azure Phoenix Sword.
Ready to take advantage of its illness and kill it!
Regardless of whether it was a Demon King, daring to swagger onto their Spirit Island to steal Spirit Fruit was a heinous crime.
Qin Ming pinched out an Azure Nether Sword Technique, and without reservation, injected Magical Power into the Azure Phoenix Sword.
An azure Sword Qi that soared into the sky rose into the air!
They were about to slash at the Gray Rat Demon.
But seeing that, in the moment of life and death crisis, that Gray Rat Demon unexpectedly spoke Human Language, and hurriedly begged for mercy, saying:
“Wait! Wait!”
“Stop! Stop it quickly!”
“Fellow Daoist, you absolutely must not! Show mercy!”
Qin Ming was also the first time they had heard a Demonic Beast speak, and they couldn’t help but be stunned, and they were even more certain that this fellow must be that Third-Ranked Demon King, and they had made up their mind to kill it.
They did not pay attention to the other party’s begging for mercy, their gaze was cold and stern, and they prepared to send it on its way with a single sword.
‘It just so happens that I need the Essence Blood of a Demonic Beast for cultivation? I didn’t expect it to be delivered to my door.’
The azure Sword Light in mid-air was flourishing, and they were about to slash down at the Rat Demon.
Seeing this, the Gray Rat Demon, hanging upside down on the vines, was immediately frightened, and their Soul Flies to the Heavens, gathered their voice, and shouted loudly:
“Ah! I’m going to die!”
“Hold on, Big Brother, hold on!”
“Don’t you want the follow-up Cultivation Technique of the 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》?”
Qin Ming Frowned upon hearing this, put away their Sword Art, and asked coldly, “What 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》? What does it have to do with me?”
The Rat Demon saw that Qin Ming had put away their hand, and couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
It was truly scared of being peed on just now.
The Human Race kid in front of them was truly willing to kill, without the slightest hesitation.
It immediately puzzled, saying: “Ah? That is the Body Refining Technique you were cultivating just now!”
“It is the well-known 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》 of my Demon Race. You have already cultivated to the second realm, how could you not know?”
“Speaking of which, you are really a freak!”
“Relying only on the flesh and blood of the Human Race, being able to cultivate to such a realm, it seems that you are only one step away from breaking through to the third realm—the True Extreme Body.”
Hearing the Rat Demon say this, Qin Ming, combining their own feelings of cultivating the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, and the Seal Script on the animal hide that was not written in the Human Race characters, might very well be as the other party said.
Qin Ming pondered to this point, and their face became extremely unsightly. They didn’t expect that the Body Refining Technique they mainly cultivated was actually a Demon Race’s Cultivation Technique, and they didn’t know if there would be a Problem.
After all, the Meridians structure of the Demonic Beasts’ bodies were still different from those of the Human Race.
The Gray Rat Demon seemed to see Qin Ming’s Worry, and immediately said:
“Fellow Daoist, you can set your heart at ease. Since you have cultivated this 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》, and you are still lively and kicking now, it means that there is no Problem.”
Qin Ming, hearing this, was both angry and amused.
“Who is your Fellow Daoist?”
“Your Excellency speaks of Fellow Daoist, tell me, what is your background?”
“If I am not mistaken, you should be that Heaven-Devouring Rat Demon King who was seriously injured by the joint effort of the four Golden Cores, right?”
“Qin practices the Human Race’s Cultivation Technique, the 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, not the 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》 you speak of.”
The Gray Rat Demon’s identity was revealed by Qin Ming, and they were immediately choked.
Only then did they embarrassedly hehe, and without concealing it, they confessed: “Fellow Daoist, your Divine Sense is superb! This mere one, uh, that is, this one, hey hehe!”
“That 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》 is the 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》, the name is just a cover, otherwise how could I see your Cultivation Progress at a glance.”
“Oh～So that’s the case. However, Qin has no plans to do something that is like ‘working with a tiger’, I will still Soul Search Your Excellency, and maybe there will be something I want.” Qin Ming sneered, and then prepared to begin a Soul Search on it.
They secretly observed for a while, it seems that this Heaven-Devouring Rat Demon King, for some reason, their cultivation had dropped drastically, and had actually fallen to the level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat Demon King was immediately enraged, and cried out: “You kid don’t talk about martial virtue!”
“I’ll tell you the truth! The 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form》 is the peerless Cultivation Technique of the Demon Race, and I have never cultivated it, only the Royal Bloodline has the Qualification to cultivate.”
“However, I know how to get it.”
“If you do this again, This Grandpa will kill themselves, and let you never get it!”
