Ch 147: Two Birds With One Stone

This Spirit Transformation Demon Grass is a good thing.

It’s just what his two demonic beasts need.

Qin Ming naturally wouldn’t miss it, but he couldn’t agree too easily.

Otherwise, it would seem a bit pretentious.

So he said with a look of difficulty, “Replying to Senior, although I know a little about this spirit plant, it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“I’m afraid.”

“Within Canghai Immortal City, if even Young Friend Qin can’t cultivate it, then others will have no way.” Nalan Xi said with undeniable certainty, “I believe in Young Friend Qin’s Spirit Plant Skill, you can try with all your might.”

“Even if the cultivation fails, I won’t blame you, it should be Heaven’s Will.”

“If Young Friend Qin succeeds in cultivation, you can also advance to a Third-Grade Spirit Plant Master, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”

Master of the Azure Sea had already said so much, Qin Ming couldn’t refuse anymore.

So he clasped hands and said, “In that case, I will do my best.”

Nalan Xi, hearing this, smiled faintly, closed the long jade box in her hand, and drove the jade box to fly towards Qin Ming.

Qin Ming gently took the jade box and put it into his Storage Bag.

Just as he was about to say something, a person hurried in from outside the Great Hall.

Qin Ming saw that it was the Middle-aged Deacon who had brought him in just now.

That Deacon seemed to have important matters to Report to Master of the Azure Sea, but seeing Qin Ming was still there, he couldn’t help but look towards Master of the Azure Sea at the Head Seat.

“It’s no problem, just say it.”

Master of the Azure Sea spoke faintly.

“Yes!” The Middle-aged Deacon nodded, then continued, “Reporting to the City Lord, in the area near the Immortal City, west of the Beast Howl Mountains, some small groups of Demonic Beasts have appeared, and there seems to be some Unusual Movement.”

Qin Ming frowned slightly, imperceptibly, upon hearing this.

But Nalan Xi seemed to have expected this, and ordered faintly, “Order the Scout Camp to continue to pay close attention, and Report to me immediately if there’s any News.”

“If there are Demonic Beasts crossing the boundary, kill them on the spot.”

“Yes!”

Qin Ming saw that Nalan Xi and the Middle-aged Deacon still seemed to have important matters to discuss, and immediately said, “Senior still has things to handle, so I will leave first.”

“Mm, today we are indeed busy, and I haven’t been able to take care of you properly. Young Friend Qin can often come to Canghai Peak and visit, I won’t see you off.” Nalan Xi nodded.

“Once Young Friend Qin has any Progress, you can send someone to notify me.”

“Senior, rest assured!”

A trace of surprise flashed in the Middle-aged Deacon’s eyes as well, he didn’t expect that Qin Ming and the City Lord had obviously reached some sort of Agreement.

Being so highly regarded by a Golden Core True Person, it seems he should be even closer to Fellow Daoist Qin in the future.

Afterwards, Qin Ming bowed to Nalan and then withdrew from the Great Hall.

Breathing the air outside, he felt a sense of relief.

Facing a Golden Core True Person, he had to be careful everywhere, and even answering a question was like walking on thin ice.

Qin Ming felt the Third-Rank Upper-Grade Spiritual Vein environment of Canghai Peak again, and then left.

Half an hour later.

Qin Ming returned to the Inner City and walked in the direction of the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Along the way, he heard various Rumors about himself.

Especially the News from the Spirit Plant Master Guild just now had spread like wildfire.

After everyone learned that the Strange Phenomenon within Canghai Immortal City today was caused by Qin Ming, the Topic about him on Streets and Alleys was directly maxed out.

Qin Ming shook his head as he listened to these Discussions and quickened his Footwork to reach the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

But as soon as he arrived near the Mirror Snow Pavilion, he found that not only Gu Qingzhao and Shopkeeper Liao came out to greet him, but also Huangfu Qi and his Daoist Companion Chen Qiaoling, as well as several young Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Qin Ming had also seen them when Gu Qingzhao held a Small Celebration for her Foundation Establishment.

Qin Ming was a bit Ashamed when he saw such a Formation.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, on your Ascension to a Second-Rank High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, gaining Great Name in Canghai Immortal City, and taking another step forward on the Immortal Path.” Gu Qingzhao rarely revealed a smile and congratulated Qin Ming.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, Congratulations!”

“Honorary Guest Elder Qin, congratulations on your Ascension to a Second-Rank High-Grade Spirit Plant Master.”

……

“Hahaha! After so many years, Fellow Daoist Qin has actually become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like us.”

“And I heard that in the Spirit Plant Path, there are almost no opponents for you in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.”

“I knew from the beginning that Fellow Daoist Qin was extraordinary.”

Huangfu Qi was still dressed like a gentle and refined scholar, greeting Qin Ming with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, no matter what, you must stay in the Pavilion for a couple of days this time, I want to seek advice from you about the Way of Spirit Plants.” Chen Qiaoling said to him with a smile.

Back then, Qin Ming’s departure from the Spirit Feather Sect was also thanks to Chen Qiaoling’s help.

“Next time, definitely, next time, definitely.” Qin Ming Agreed.

Qin Ming secretly sized up Huangfu Qi a few times, and found that the Magical Power Fluctuation on the other party’s body had already Advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

You must know that when he was at Mid Foundation Establishment, his Strength was already unmatched in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.

Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he should be even more invincible.

That technique of his, the Divine Sword Summoning Thunder Technique, Qin Ming still remembers vividly.

Its Terror, even Lin Zixiao couldn’t withstand it. If it weren’t for his Substitute Tribulation technique, perhaps there would be no Demonic Overlord now.

Qin Ming also learned from Gu Qingzhao that Huangfu Qi’s main cultivation was Thunder Essence, supplemented by an Ancient Times Sword Formation, and that Thunder Essence was also a technique passed down from Huangfu’s Clan Ancestors’ Bloodline, which others simply couldn’t learn.

……

Afterwards, Qin Ming entered the Pavilion, surrounded by everyone.

Gu Qingzhao had already Arranged a large table of Wine and Dishes to Welcome him.

At the dinner table, everyone talked about their various Encounters during this period.

The other young Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Mirror Snow Pavilion also showed extra respect to Qin Ming and took turns Toasting him.

Although his Status now was only that of an Honorary Guest Elder, his actual Influence was already far beyond that.

“Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard that you have Lingxi Rice, and I have long admired its Great Name, I wonder if you can sell some to me?” Huangfu Qi toasted Qin Ming with a glass of wine, and said expectantly, rubbing his hands.

Qin Ming smiled slightly upon hearing this, “That’s natural, even if I don’t sell to others, I will still sell to Fellow Daoist Huangfu.”

After drinking and eating to their fill.

The others from the Mirror Snow Pavilion left first.

In the Private Room, only Gu Qingzhao, Shopkeeper Liao, and the couple Huangfu Qi remained.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard… Master of the Azure Sea personally summoned you?” Gu Qingzhao hesitated for a moment and still asked.

She was naturally also worried that such a closely cooperating Spirit Plant Master and Alchemy Grandmaster would be poached by others.

Qin Ming nodded, without Concealing: “That’s right, Senior Nalan indeed had the Willingness to have me join the Immortal City, but I didn’t Agree.”

“Fellow Daoist Gu also knows that I like Peace and Freedom, and I don’t like Binding.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“By the way, what’s the Situation recently?” Qin Ming asked again.

“Ah, this time, I’m afraid it’s going to be a big deal.” Huangfu Qi said first, before Gu Qingzhao could speak.

“Once the Zhao Clan of the Lingxi Archipelago falls, the Conflict between the Spirit Feather Sect and the Thunder Yuan Sect will definitely Upgrade, and the final moment to determine the Victory and Defeat is about to arrive.”

“It’s just that I don’t know where the main Battlefield will be.”

“However, what can be determined is that the Decisive Battle of the two Sects’ Golden Core Ancestors directly decided the Victory and Defeat of this War.”

“The other small Battlefields, no matter who wins or loses, are just Minor Troubles, and are not important.”

Qin Ming also fell into Deep Thought upon hearing this.

“What about the Lingxi Archipelago?”

He was still more concerned about the Safety near his old Lair.

“The Result from Thousand Leaves Island has come out, the Thunder Yuan Sect has newly supported a Foundation Establishment Clan to Take Office.”

“The Seventy-Two Island Alliance abandoned the Ownership of the Spirit Island, in exchange for some Resources on the island and other Conditions.”

“In a short Time, the Lingxi Archipelago will still recover Peace, and Young Friend Qin’s Moonview Island should be no problem.” Gu Qingzhao said.

Qin Ming felt much more at Ease in his heart when he heard them say this.

“By the way, I just came out of Canghai Peak and heard that there are Unusual Movement of Demonic Beasts appearing in the nearby Mountains.”

“You have been within the Canghai Immortal City for a long Time, although you won’t be in any Danger.”

“But you should also pay Attention at any Time.”

“If there is another Demonic Beast like that Double-Pupiled Demon Ape, that would also be extremely Dangerous.”

Qin Ming suddenly remembered this, and Reminded Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qi.

Thanks to Fellow Daoist “Drunk Rain Dingxiang” for a 100-coin Reward.
