Chapter 183: Secret News And Jade Profound Pill
Gu Qingzhao heard that Qin Ming needed Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
She couldn’t help but be stunned, then explained: “Fellow Daoist Qin, these Top-Grade Spirit Stones are precious beyond compare, and not many are in circulation in the market.”
“However, I will try my best to keep an eye out for you.”
Qin Ming had actually anticipated this, after all, Top-Grade Spirit Stones were too rare, and it was reasonable to have difficulty obtaining them.
The amount and purity of Spiritual Energy contained in Top-Grade Spirit Stones are extremely high, not only suitable for High-Level Cultivators to cultivate, but also often used to breakthrough bottlenecks or refine High-Grade Cultivation Resources.
And Qin Ming wanted to continue improving the grade of the Spirit Vein on Moonview Island, so he had to use Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
But for now, the Third Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Vein was enough for his cultivation, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
It was just to collect some in advance, to be prepared for any eventuality.
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, you should be clear about the matter of the Demon Plant on Thousand Leaves Island, right?” Gu Qingzhao put away the Pill on the table, then asked with a solemn expression.
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, “On the way here, Alliance Leader Li has already revealed it to me.”
“The situation here in Canghai Immortal City is indeed tense, and I can understand that Real Person Nalan can’t leave.”
“But Thunder Yuan Sect, as the actual controller of the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World, is indifferent to this?”
“And the Golden Core Ancestor of the Spirit Feather Sect.”
Gu Qingzhao, upon hearing this, raised her hand and unleashed a Soundproofing Restriction, and then said: “Fellow Daoist Qin, there is a secret piece of Intelligence, I heard that Old Ancestor Ao of the Thunder Yuan Sect’s Lifespan Limit is approaching.”
“According to the news that came back, Old Ancestor Ao has already lived for more than five hundred and thirty years.”
“And he has taken Lifespan Extending Pills several times, and taking more Pills to increase Lifespan will not be able to extend his Lifespan, I am afraid that the time until he passes away is only in the next few years.”
“So it’s not that Old Ancestor Ao doesn’t take action, if he does, even if he wins, he will probably exhaust his last Vitality of Lifespan.”
“In addition, there is another thing, that is, Wei Wuya of the Thunder Yuan Sect has secluded himself in secret, I heard that he is secretly Breakthrough to Golden Core.”
“With Wei Wuya’s Heaven Grade Spiritual Root talent, it is very possible for the Thunder Yuan Sect to give birth to another Golden Core Ancestor, and continue to inherit Old Ancestor Ao’s Legacy.”
Qin Ming, upon learning the news, couldn’t help but be suddenly enlightened.
โIf the Thunder Yuan Sect loses its Golden Core combat strength, then there’s no need to think, it can only end up on the path of Sect Withering and Decline.โ
โMoreover, there’s the Spirit Feather Sect watching with Hostile Intent.โ
โOld Ancestor of the Spirit Feather Sect is a Newly Advanced Golden Core, and his age isn’t great, his Lifespan is estimated to have several hundred years left.โ
โIf Old Ancestor Ao’s Lifespan is exhausted and he passes away, and Wei Wuya fails to Breakthrough to Golden Core, or only forms a False Core.โ
โThe Spirit Feather Sect wouldn’t even need to take action, the Thunder Yuan Sect would soon become dust in the History of the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.โ
โEverything will turn into the past.โ
โAlas! It seems that the Cultivation World is really about who lives longer!โ
โWhy do I feel that my lifespan of five hundred and fifty years is still not long enough?โ
Qin Ming nodded and said to Gu Qingzhao: “It seems that the current Situation of the Thunder Yuan Sect isn’t very good either.”
“According to the Intelligence obtained by Alliance Leader Li, that Third Rank Blood Curse Demon Vine, after these years of Blood Food growth, has already reached the cultivation strength of Early-Stage Golden Core Peak.”
“I am afraid that it will take several Golden Core Ancestors to join forces to defeat it, and it’s not certain whether it can be completely eliminated.”
“Alliance Leader Li has already gone to meet Real Person of the Azure Sea, and I hope there will be good news.”
After hearing Qin Ming’s words, the expressions of everyone present were very difficult to look at.
Because this was Intelligence that Mirror Snow Pavilion had not yet grasped.
It concerns the Safety of the entire Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.
Qin Ming communicated with everyone for Half Day, exchanging information, and then said Farewell.
At night, the Outer City of Canghai Immortal City was riddled with holes, although the Beast Tide Army had temporarily retreated, there were still occasional isolated Demonic Beasts attacking outside the City Wall.
Moreover, there were many who were Vicious and wanted to get rich by relying on the Beast Tide, and Bandit Cultivators taking advantage of the chaos were also emerging endlessly.
It made the City Defense Cultivators on duty extremely headache, and they were exhausted.
The Cultivators who sacrificed themselves in the Resist of Demonic Beasts were also carried out.
Not only the Cultivators of Canghai Immortal City who were resisting the Beast Tide, but even the Free Cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and corpses were constantly being cleared out, filling the streets of the Outer City.
From time to time, there were sounds of wailing, full of a sad Atmosphere.
Qin Ming looked at the desolate Scene of the Outer City, sighed, encountering this kind of Natural Disaster, a hundred years of cultivation also turned into a Bubble.
He immediately stopped looking, but followed the Main Road, and came to the Core Area, the Goal was very clear, heading straight for the Pill Cauldron Pavilion.
The Purpose of this Journey was to inquire about some Intelligence along the way, after all, the Golden Core Formation he needed was in the Mysterious Stream Valley behind the Pill Cauldron Pavilion.
In a Moment.
Qin Ming, familiar with the way, walked to a Building with Simple decorations.
As soon as he stepped into the Hall of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, the Female Shopkeeper from last time, with a slender figure, came forward with extreme Enthusiasm.
She even couldn’t believe that a Cultivator like Master Qin would grace their Pill Cauldron Pavilion during the outbreak of the Beast Tide.
“Master Qin, long time no see, since our last Farewell, Concubine thought you wouldn’t come again!”
The Female Shopkeeper’s name was Xu Jing, according to Lรผ Liang’s information, the Mysterious Stream Valley’s Pill Cauldron Pavilion in Canghai Immortal City had always been managed by this woman, and her Experience was very old.
Being assigned by the Sect to manage such an important Industry, it was estimated that her Background and Identity within the Mysterious Stream Valley wouldn’t be too low.
Because setting up a Shop Industry in the Core Area of Canghai Immortal City was extremely profitable, and to be the owner of a Shop, at the very least, one had to have the Backer of an Inner Elder.
Qin Ming was thinking when he arrived.
How could he obtain Intelligence from within the Mysterious Stream Valley.
Qin Ming had also thought about using his Dual Skill Second-Rank High-Grade Master’s Identity to Infiltration the Mysterious Stream Valley.
But first, he still had to manage his Moonview Island, and second, even if he obtained the Golden Core Formation, the Goal would be too obvious, and he would definitely be Marked by the Mysterious Stream Valley.
From the looks of it, he could only proceed slowly, not to be over-anxious.
“Haha! Qin has come, hasn’t he? Doesn’t Shopkeeper Xu welcome it?” Qin Ming said with a smile.
Xu Jing knew that the other party was joking, so she smiled and said: “How could that be? Master Qin’s arrival naturally makes this Pavilion shine.”
“Please come to the Private Room and take a seat, Concubine will brew a pot of Spirit Tea for Master Qin.”
Qin Ming followed Xu Jing to the luxurious Private Room on the fourth floor.
Xu Jing was dignified and reserved, and her Actions were gentle as she brewed Spirit Tea for Qin Ming, and then smiled and said: “I heard that the Spirit Gathering Tea cultivated by Master Qin is unique in the Spirit Nest Archipelago Cultivation World.”
“I don’t know if the Spirit Tea of this Pavilion will suit Fellow Daoist Qin’s taste.”
Qin Ming smiled Calmly, picked up the Teacup and took a sip, his Eyes brightened and he was surprised: “Shopkeeper Xu is really good at talking, this Spirit Tea has already reached the Second Rank Mid-Grade Level, which is even slightly better than my Spirit Gathering Tea.”
“It shouldn’t be grown by Ordinary Cultivators, right?”
“In addition, Shopkeeper Xu can just call me Fellow Daoist Qin, no need to be too restrained.”
“Okay, Fellow Daoist Qin.” Xu Jing nodded gently, and then she said, “Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed worthy of being the top Spirit Plant Master of Wei Kingdom, just tasting it once can distinguish the Grade and origin of Concubine’s Spirit Tea.”
“Fellow Daoist Qin is right, this tea is called the Ice Crystal Tea, and the Growth Conditions are harsh, and it was cultivated by a senior from my family, and there is only one plant, the quantity is rare, I also pleaded with the senior for a long time before getting a few catties, today Fellow Daoist Qin is here, I specially brew a pot for you.”
Qin Ming sipped the tea, and when he heard the words ‘family elder’, his Eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
“Then Qin is quite honored, and can even drink this tea.”
“I don’t know what kind of High Person Shopkeeper Xu’s elder is? Is he also a Spirit Plant Master?” Qin Ming asked, not revealing his expression.
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, but still said straightforwardly: “That’s right, Fellow Daoist Qin, I believe Fellow Daoist Lรผ Liang should have told you, our Pill Cauldron Pavilion belongs to the Industry of the Mysterious Stream Valley in the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World.”
“My elder is my Grandfather, haha!”
“Currently serves as an Elder in the Inner Sect’s Herb Garden of the Mysterious Stream Valley, speaking of which, he is also a Spirit Plant Master like Fellow Daoist Qin.”
“It’s just that his Technique Level is a little lower than Fellow Daoist Qin, and he is a Second-Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master.”
Qin Ming had a good Reputation in Canghai Immortal City, so Xu Jing didn’t conceal much about her Background, perhaps she could use this to get closer to the Relationship between the two sides.
From the moment Qin Ming came in, she was thinking about how to get this Great God from Mirror Snow Pavilion.
“Oh? Is that so? Then there might be a chance to communicate and discuss the Way of Spirit Plants with your Grandfather.” Qin Ming said slowly.
Xu Jing, seeing Qin Ming’s Attitude, was very happy in her heart, so she said: “Is Fellow Daoist Qin serious? My Grandfather also has long admired the Great Name of Fellow Daoist Qin.”
“If there is an Opportunity to communicate with a Spirit Plant Master like you, he will be very happy.”
“Concubine will remember to tell him.”
Qin Ming stopped there, and then he no longer talked about this Topic, otherwise it would be too obvious and not very good.
“My Purpose for this Journey is to sell a batch of Pills to Your Pavilion, and also to procure some Pill Recipes.”
Xu Jing’s Eyes brightened upon hearing this, “That’s great!”
“To say the least, when it comes to High-Grade Pill Recipes, it is estimated that only this Pavilion has sufficient reserves in the entire Canghai Immortal City.”
Qin Ming then took out two exquisite Jade Bottles and placed them on the table.
Xu Jing took the Jade Bottles and opened them to take a look, and in each bottle, five crimson Spirit Pills were quietly lying there, emitting an Astonishing Spiritual Essence, she couldn’t help but be stunned: “Second-Rank Mid-Grade Pill Slaying Blood Pill and Blood Bone Pill!!”
“Fellow Daoist Qin, have you refined them successfully so quickly?”
You must know that the Second-Rank Mid-Grade Pill is not so easy to refine, she originally thought that Qin Ming would definitely not be able to refine this Pill in three to five years.
Because even the Second-Rank High-Grade Grandmasters within the Mysterious Stream Valley, the failure rate when refining these two Pills was still quite high, and they had also continuously researched them for ten years.
“It’s just good luck.” Qin Ming said modestly.
Xu Jing’s Beautiful Eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, she said: “Fellow Daoist Qin, the Slaying Blood Pill and Blood Bone Pill are Sacred Items for Body Refining Cultivators.”
“The Value is quite high, Concubine can make the decision, and buy them at fifty thousand Spirit Stones per bottle, which is about two-tenths higher than the Market Price.”
“How does Fellow Daoist Qin feel?”
“In addition, if Fellow Daoist Qin buys Pill Recipes, I can also give you a 30% Discount.”
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, she could offer such favorable Conditions, which was not low.
Moreover, these two bottles of Slaying Blood Pill and Blood Bone Pill were not refined by him using Demon Ape blood, but used the blood of other Second-Rank Demon Beasts, and the Effect would definitely not be as good as his own.
“Deal.”
Xu Jing was overjoyed upon hearing this, she didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Qin was so happy, she was still wondering whether she should make another concession.
Qin Ming looked at Shopkeeper Xu’s Excited appearance, and a smile appeared at the Corner of the Mouth, she didn’t know that she was simply not interested in the wine itself.
“I don’t know what kind of Pill Recipe Fellow Daoist Qin needs, I will settle the account for you together.” Xu Jing said with a smile.
Qin Ming thought for a moment, then said: “The highest-grade Pill Recipe here, give me one of each.”
“So that I don’t have to make multiple trips.”
Xu Jing was stunned when she heard this, and after a moment, she replied with Embarrassment: “Fellow Daoist Qin, the highest-grade Pill Recipe in this Pavilion, except for the Slaying Blood Pill Recipe and Blood Bone Pill Recipe you purchased before, there is only one Second-Rank High-Grade Pill Recipe left.”
Then she took out that Animal Hide Pill Recipe and handed it to Qin Ming, “Fellow Daoist Qin, take a look and see if you need it?”
Qin Ming took the Pill Recipe and looked at it, and saw three small Seal Script characters written on it: ‘Jade Profound Pill’.
This Pill Recipe only had half, and it was obvious that Xu Jing couldn’t really let him see the entire Pill Recipe.
But after Qin Ming finished reading the upper part, he was very interested in this Jade Profound Pill.
Because this Pill not only has the Effect of stabilizing and widening the Meridians, but can also improve the Magical Power Cultivation of Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.
It is the best Pill for the transition from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Great Perfection Realm, and the Drug Resistance is also extremely small, almost negligible.
It’s just that this Pill, as a Second-Rank High-Grade Pill, its refining Difficulty is daunting.
Even in the Mysterious Stream Valley, only the only Third-Grade Alchemy Grandmaster in the Liang Kingdom had the Certainty to refine this Pill.
In addition to the refining Difficulty, the Spirit Materials were also extremely difficult to find, and they were all some Second-Rank High-Grade Spirit Grass.
After Qin Ming finished reading this Pill Recipe, he was also very interested, and immediately said: “Fellow Daoist Xu, I want this Pill Recipe, in addition, I also want to acquire some Spirit Materials from the Pill Recipe.”
“Ah?!”
“Fellow Daoist Qin, are you preparing to refine the Jade Profound Pill?”
Xu Jing’s mouth opened wide, and she was so surprised that she almost couldn’t speak.
Qin Ming smiled slightly, and his Appearance was Calm and Unconcerned.
In fact, he had already obtained several Second-Rank High-Grade Pill Recipes from Su Yuqing before.
And among them, two High-Grade Pills had already been successfully refined, and his current Soul Power had already caught up to Foundation Establishment Realm, and almost reached the Divine Sense Intensity of a False Core Ancestor.
Refining High-Grade Pills, it was even more like a fish in water.
“Well, just try it, I don’t have much Certainty.” Qin Ming thought for a moment and said.
Only then did Xu Jing calm down, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: “Most of the Spirit Materials needed to refine the Jade Profound Pill, this Pavilion does have, but there is only one that is missing.”
“But these things are not in the Inventory of the Pavilion, and need to be drawn from the Sect, which may Delay some time.” Xu Jing explained.
Qin Ming asked upon hearing: “What kind of Spirit Material is missing?”
“Second-Rank Top-Grade Spirit Plant Seven-Leaf Nether Mushroom, this object is extremely difficult to find, and even within the Mysterious Stream Valley, it has not been cultivated.”
Qin Ming nodded thoughtfully, and said: “Then okay, I will take the Pill Recipe first, when can the other Spirit Materials arrive?”
“If it is usually the case, it can be delivered within Half a Month, but now that Demonic Beasts are rampant outside, it is estimated that it will take more than three months to reach Canghai Immortal City.”
“This is also because the Beast Tide has been basically pacified within our Liang Kingdom,” Xu Jing said, and a look of pride appeared on her face.
Qin Ming naturally knew her implicit meaning, there was more than one Golden Core Ancestor Garrison in the Mysterious Stream Valley, and clearing away these Beast Tides was naturally a piece of cake.
And those High-Rank Demon Beasts are not stupid, they know that there are many High-Level Cultivators in the Liang Kingdom, and they will not throw themselves into the net.
“Haha! With a Great Sect like the Mysterious Stream Valley, the Safety of the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World is naturally safe.” Qin Ming also said a word of Flattery appropriately.
“Then does Fellow Daoist Qin have the Willingness to join my Mysterious Stream Valley? I can have my Grandfather introduce you, with Fellow Daoist Qin’s Reputation and Technique Level, the Upper Echelons of the Sect will certainly be eager for it…”
