Chapter 396: Harvest

Just as Qin Ming annihilated Jiang Yuan.

The True Inheritance Disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, hidden within the Great Li and Great Zhou Cultivation Worlds, were greatly alarmed.

They took out the Demon Rune Blood Plates on their bodies and were shocked to discover that the Divine Soul imprint of the Demon Sect Saint Son, at the top of the blood plate, had already disappeared.

What this meant was already self-evident.

“The Saint Son has encountered Misfortune, and has already fallen!”

“How is this possible?!”

“With Senior Brother Jiang’s cultivation strength, could he have encountered a Spirit Transformation Venerable with extremely strong strength?”

“It’s over, the Saint Son has fallen, and by then, the Old Ancestors will definitely punish us.”

“What about Senior Sister Lan Bing? Wasn’t she with Senior Brother Jiang?”

“That’s right, I also received news that the two Senior Brothers and Sisters should have infiltrated Great Jin to pursue and kill Master Cold Crow.”

“Could it be that Master Cold Crow launched a desperate counterattack on the verge of death?”

“Alas! It’s ruined, I didn’t expect such a major event to happen!”

……

Within the Yin Demon Sect of the Great Li Dynasty.

Lan Bing, the Saintess in a Black Gauze Dress, held the Demon Rune Blood Plate in her Jade Hand, her narrow eyes flickering constantly.

Below her, several Disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect stood respectfully.

“Senior Sister Lan, following Senior Brother Qiu and Junior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Jiang has also fallen. What do you think we should do?”

“If too many are killed or injured, it will affect our Trial scores by then.”

These True Inheritance Disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect also didn’t expect that they were having a smooth journey in the Great Li and Great Zhou, plundering the treasures of the Lower Realm, sacrificing the living souls and flesh and blood of cultivators, and their Demonic Skill cultivation was also increasing rapidly, with Great Progress in their strength.

But once they entered the Great Jin Cultivation World, three Fellow Disciples died in succession, and one of them was even the Saint Son who was highly regarded by the Sect’s Old Ancestors.

This was something that had never happened in the past several thousand years of Descending.

How could they, these Demon Cultivators, not feel Shock and Fear?

Saintess Lan Bing sat on the Head Seat Throne, but she didn’t care about the discussion of the Fellow Disciples below.

It seemed that she had anticipated the fall of the Saint Son Jiang Yuan.

“Actually, when I was with Senior Brother Jiang, I once used the Divination Divine Ability Secret Art to predict it.”

“The result was a sign of great misfortune. In Profound, I even sensed a Heart-Pounding Feeling, so I abandoned the pursuit of Master Cold Crow and left early.”

“Senior Brother Jiang couldn’t let go of Master Cold Crow’s Possessions, and I didn’t expect that he would encounter such a great Calamity.”

Saintess Lan Bing spoke lightly, and she was completely indifferent to the death of the Demon Sect Saint Son.

“Ah? It’s actually like this.”

The Demon Cultivators from Saintess Lan Bing’s Faction below looked at each other, and they were speechless for a moment.

This Senior Sister Lan is also so ruthless; she knew there was Danger, but she didn’t tell Senior Brother Jiang to run together.

But, they thought about it too, the Competition between the Demon Sect Saint Sons was also extremely fierce.

Senior Sister Lan probably hoped that Senior Brother Jiang would die sooner.

Following that.

Saintess Lan Bing then casually said, “Consecutively damaging three Fellow Disciples, it seems that some problems have really occurred in the Lower Realm.”

“With Senior Brother Jiang’s strength, it is only possible to completely Annihilate him if a Nascent Soul Cultivator takes action.”

“After all, he possesses a Fourth-Rank Demonic Treasure for Body Protection.”

“I don’t know which Nascent Soul Cultivator made the move.”

At this moment, a yellow-haired Demon Cultivator suddenly stepped forward and asked, “Senior Sister Lan, do you think… could it be that those other several Sects of the Bloodbound Realm are up to something?”

“If they use their means to smuggle Nascent Soul Cultivators into the Lower Realm and hunt down the Disciples of This Holy Sect.”

“In this way, they can weaken the main force of This Sect, which is also extremely likely.”

“Especially the fall of the Saint Son, which is a very serious Blow to This Holy Sect, and it precisely fits the other several Sects’ wishes.”

Saintess Lan Bing pondered for a moment, and frowned slightly, saying, “Impossible. If the other Sects were secretly doing something, the World Barrier Force would generate Undulation, and the Demon-Subduing Platform of This Sect would also have a Reaction.”

“Not to mention Nascent Soul Cultivators smuggling into the Lower Realm, even if a Spirit Transformation Venerable is caught in Void Turbulence, there is only one way to go: Death and the Dissipation of the Dao.”

The yellow-haired Demon Cultivator thought that made sense, and then asked, “So, Senior Sister Lan, your meaning is that this matter is most likely done by the people of the Lower Realm?”

“Do we need to investigate it?”

“After all, the grandson of Elder Meng and the Saint Son of This Sect have both fallen, and the above will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Saintess Lan Bing pondered for a moment and said:

“Let the people of the Yin Demon Sect investigate in secret with the Demon Rune Blood Plates; you don’t need to move around, so as not to cause more Death and Injuries.”

She said in a Cold tone, “Even Jiang Yuan wasn’t their opponent, and you will only meet your Death if you encounter them.”

“When Jiang Yuan fell, not even the News could be transmitted, which is enough to show the problem.”

“Also notify the several Fellow Disciples lurking in Great Jin, and return to Great Li as soon as possible.”

“Put the most important Energy on the Secret Realm of the Qingyuan Sect.”

“As for Master Cold Crow… we can only say that he is lucky.”

After the words fell, the several Demon Cultivators below quickly responded.

“Yes! Senior Sister Lan!”

……

On the Other Side.

Qin Ming had already taken a long detour and returned to the marketplace within Five Elements Mountain.

Although there were Changes during this Journey, and some Unpredictable Situations occurred in the middle, the Harvest was Great.

First, he obtained the ‘Five Elements Spirit Ginseng’, which was crucial for refining the Nascent Soul Pill, from Master Cold Crow, and he also obtained the Fourth-Rank Spirit Material, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold.

Most importantly, he obtained Huo Xuzi’s Storage Bag, as well as the Foundation of the Blood Refining Demon Sect Saint Son.

Within the Little Spirit Realm.

“Harvested, greatly harvested!”

The Heaven Devouring Rat, Black Water Crocodile, Silver-Winged Frost Bee, and Hua Tianxiong surrounded the Demon Corpse of the Demon Sect Saint Son Jiang Yuan, their eyes filled with Excitement.

“This… this Demon Sect Saint Son actually died in the Master’s hands…” Hua Tianxiong’s face showed a Bitter Smile.

After he went back this time, he was afraid he would have to take the blame.

After Qin Ming gave Hua Tianxiong some Rewards, he sent him away.

He instructed him as he left to continue gathering the remaining Spirit Materials, and to pay attention to the intelligence within the Cultivation World at any time.

Hua Tianxiong thanked Qin Ming profusely and bid farewell. He was also quite shocked this time, and he had to go back and deal with the internal affairs of the Merchant Alliance.

Next.

Qin Ming inspected his Harvest this time.

First was the Storage Bag of Huo Xuzi. His Divine Sense swept through the Storage Bag, and he was attracted by a section of Azure Blue Spirit Wood.

He took out this section of Spirit Wood and carefully held it in his hand to observe.

“Is this the Star Sea Divine Vine, one of the Five Divine Woods of the Cultivation World in Legend?”

Even the Heaven Devouring Rat looked at this wood with longing, and it could be imagined how Mysterious this item was.

Just as Qin Ming took out the Star Sea Divine Vine, his Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, suddenly sent out a burst of cheerful and joyful sound.

“Could it be that this section of Divine Wood also has an Effect on the Natal Spirit Plant?”

“There are still Roots. It seems that it should be able to be revived with the 【 Rebirth Spirit Seed 】 Attribute?”

Qin Ming tapped his chin and pondered for a moment, then said, “Do it.”

He strolled to the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine Tree of his Natal Spirit Plant, and then inserted this section of Star Sea Divine Vine nearby.

Following that.

Qin Ming used a 【 Rebirth Spirit Seed 】 Attribute, and a Profound Mystery force descended. Purple Spores emerged out of thin air and enveloped the Star Sea Divine Vine.

After a moment, this section of Star Sea Divine Vine gradually regained its Vitality.

However.

Perhaps because the Rank of this Divine Wood was too high, it seemed that the Energy within one Attribute was not enough to completely Revive it.

So, Qin Ming used two more 【 Rebirth Spirit Seed 】 Attributes in succession and applied them to the Star Sea Divine Vine.

Finally, the Star Sea Divine Vine began to emit Azure Blue starlight Tender Buds, and it completely revived and came alive.

Qin Ming once again consumed five 【 Leaves of Time and Space 】 Attributes and Accelerated Ripening it to five hundred years of Age.

The starlight-like vines began to grow and rise wildly, and finally grew into a three-foot-tall little tree.

The Divine Vine’s Colorful Light was intoxicating and captivating.

Suddenly.

The Star Sea Divine Vine emitted specks of light, and they floated towards the Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine.

The Yin Yang Mysterious Vine absorbed these starlights, and the whole Spirit Plant seemed to have obtained some Benefits in Profound, and began to undergo a certain Change quietly.

After doing all this.

Qin Ming then looked through Huo Xuzi’s Storage Bag. As the First Free Cultivator of the Great Zhou, he had a fairly rich Family Fortune.

And for nearly a hundred years, in order to find the Nascent Soul Opportunity, he had been Robbing everywhere, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were endless.

He even dared to rob the auction of the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance.

Within his Storage Bag, there were more than three hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and countless other Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

There were even several Heaven and Earth Spirit Materials that had an Assistance Effect on the formation of the Nascent Soul.

“Phantom Destruction Mysterious Liquid, Spirit Nether Qi.”

And his most powerful Magical Artifact, the Third Stage Upper Grade, Yangyan Hammer.

The rest were items like Pills and Talismans, and the categories were quite complete, but for Qin Ming, they didn’t have a significant use.

Moreover, his other few Magical Artifacts were also mostly Fire Attribute.

Then.

Qin Ming put away the Storage Bag and turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan’s Corpse.

He released his Divine Sense and searched on his body for a moment, but he didn’t find any items like a Storage Bag.

Only that Black Origin Demon Pearl.

He took out Jiang Yuan’s Golden Core Realm, which was the Essence of a Golden Core Cultivator’s life, and it was also considered the most Precious Item.

Moreover, when Qin Ming took out the Golden Core to observe it, the Dark Black Golden Core began to condense a Holy Fetus in its deep place, and it was only one step away from becoming a Demon Infant.

It could be imagined how terrifying Jiang Yuan’s Cultivation Talent was!

The Heaven Devouring Rat and the other three Beasts, looking at the Golden Core in Qin Ming’s hand, were drooling all over the place.

He picked up the Demon Bead and the Golden Core, and then cast a Thorn Technique with the Corpse, obtaining a Golden Core Realm Blood Bead, and directly tossed it to the Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine.

The Mysterious Vine obtained the Nutrient, and it began to grow slowly again.

And the remaining Corpse was then buried under the Abundant Ghost Jujube Tree as Fertilizer.

Jiang Yuan cultivated the Yin Nether Heavenly Corpse Technique’s Demon Corpse, and for this Spirit Plant, it was an unprecedented Great Supplement.

Then.

Qin Ming released his Divine Sense and landed it on the Origin Demon Pearl, forcibly erasing the Imprint left on it.

“Sure enough!”

When the Imprint was erased at that moment, Qin Ming saw that inside this Origin Demon Pearl, there was a Space about ten meters in size, which was divided in an orderly manner.

It was dozens of times bigger than an ordinary Storage Bag.

Qin Ming immediately immersed his Divine Sense into it and browsed it.

“Hiss~”

“Just Top-Grade Spirit Stones, there were actually more than two thousand… far exceeding the Possessions of an ordinary Golden Core Realm Cultivator.”

“And there are large amounts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Talismans, Pills, and Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals.”

“These are all small parts.”

“The real Big Head should be those few Lifeblood Demon Treasures of this person.”

“And this Origin Demon Pearl itself is a genuine Fourth-Rank Demonic Treasure.”

Immediately, Qin Ming took a blood-colored inkstone-shaped Demonic Treasure into his hand.

“This item is the Blood Pagoda that the Demon Sect Saint Son first unleashed, and it has reached the level of Pseudo-Demonic Treasure, only lacking the last bit to Ascend to the Fourth-Rank Level.”

“The Fourth-Rank Demonic Treasure is equivalent to the Spirit Treasure used by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”

Qin Ming had witnessed the Sharpness of this item. It could pull Cultivators into the Blood Pagoda at will, weaken and suppress the opponent’s cultivation, and in the Blood Refining World Combat, the opponent’s Aura would rise and fall, and he would be in a dominant position.

If it weren’t for the fact that Huo Xuzi was forced into a hurry, he would directly Self-Destruct his Golden Core without saying a word, and blew a hole in the Blood Pagoda, and the Golden Han Elder of the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance wouldn’t have been able to escape.

I’m afraid he would have been completely refined by Jiang Yuan with the Blood Pagoda.

“But even if the Blood Pagoda is damaged, there should be a Method to Repair it.”

Next, Qin Ming found the three Late-Golden Core Demon Heads in a corner of Space.

Unfortunately, with Jiang Yuan’s death, the three Demon Heads also lost their Vitality, and their Aura was completely gone, and they vanished completely with their Master.

“And this item, the Demon Luo Sky Tent, is a sealing-type Third Stage Top Grade Demonic Treasure.”

After a moment, Qin Ming also found several hundred Black Crystal Stones, which surged with an Anomaly Energy.

He flipped through a Demonic Path book on the bookshelf and learned that this item was called Demon Crystal, and it was an extremely precious item in Demonic Path Cultivation, and for Demon Cultivators, it was even rarer than Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

As Qin Ming’s exploration deepened, his Divine Sense came to the central location of the Demon Bead.

But the scene before his eyes made Qin Ming’s whole person Astonished.

“Could this be the ‘Origin Demonic Qi’?”

In the center, there was a Demon Rune Altar, and above the Altar, a wisp of Dark Black Demonic Qi was floating, as if it wanted to devour a person’s Soul.

This wisp of Origin Demonic Qi was also the Core of this Fourth-Rank Demon Bead.

“Even the Long-Browed Person was so concerned about this, I’m afraid it was for this wisp of Origin Demonic Qi.”

Finally, Qin Ming’s Vision landed on a row of bookshelves in the corner.

On it, a row of Jade Slips and various Books were neatly arranged.

“This Demon Sect Saint Son’s cultivated Demonic Skill was indeed placed under some sort of Restriction by the Demon Sect, and it could not be easily removed.”

Qin Ming took out several Pitch Black Jade Slips and gave them to the Heaven Devouring Rat, letting it Remove the Seal.

The Heaven Devouring Rat, in a matter of seconds, used Forbidden Severing Profound Light, and in an instant, removed the Seal above.

Qin Ming checked with his Divine Sense, and his Expression didn’t change much.

“Indeed, it is the cultivation of the 《 Yin Nether Heavenly Corpse Technique 》.”

“I didn’t expect that the Demonic Path Disciples in the Bloodbound Realm would cultivate this kind of Pig-Raising Technique as their Core Cultivation Technique.”

“I’m afraid that when Jiang Yuan cultivates to the point of forming a Demon Infant, it will be the moment when his cultivation is Harvested.”

“And the ‘Heavenly Demon Body Integration’ that the Demon Cultivator Qiu cultivated is also the same.”

“Obviously, this kind of Cultivation, the same Demonic Skill, and then mutual Devour, and the last person remaining is the strongest.”

“In the Bloodbound Realm, there are people of importance arranging things in secret.”

……

Qin Ming put away the Jade Slips and started flipping through the bookshelves again.

“In addition to Jiang Yuan’s cultivated Demonic Skill and Secret Arts, there are also the Cultivation Technique Secret Arts he gathered, and even the geographical maps of the Bloodbound Realm, the Spirit Item Appraisals, and there are also some Hundred Arts of Cultivation Inheritance, and Knowledge Notes.”

“This”

“Fourth-Rank Alchemy Inheritance 《 Blood Refining Pill Scripture 》!”

Qin Ming’s eyes immediately lit up, and he suddenly became very interested.

After he had roughly browsed through it once, he found that this Pill Scripture was precisely the Alchemy Inheritance of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.

Even the Fourth-Rank Upper Grade Pill Recipe that the Late-Nascent Soul Demon Lord needed.

For example, the Boundless Sea of Blood Pill, the Five Viscera Pill, the Blood Spirit Pill, all require the flesh, blood, and living souls of Cultivators to be used as Medicine Guides for refining, and the methods are Vicious and Evil.

These Pills could, in a short time, greatly improve Demonic Path cultivation.

They are Completely Different from the Alchemy Inheritance of the Human Realm, and they follow the Overbearing path.

Qin Ming looked through it for a while and put it away; he naturally wouldn’t refine this kind of Demonic Path Pill at the moment.

“Well, but if I have the Opportunity in the future, and I catch a few Demon Cultivators again, I can try to refine this Human Pill.”

“Maybe it will be useful in the future.”

After pondering for a moment, he put away the Pill Scripture.

After flipping through and checking for a long time, Qin Ming found a book on the Fourth-Rank Demonic Treasure Artificing Inheritance on the bookshelf.

“The Secret Method of Refinement and Nurturing of the Blood Pagoda Demonic Treasure, and the Method of Repair, it really has this one.”

“To Repair the Demonic Treasure, you need ten Golden Core Stage living souls, a certain amount of flesh and blood… two hundred Top-Grade Demon Crystals, and one portion of Cold Yin Essence.”

“It seems that a lot of things are needed to Repair this Demonic Treasure.”

Coincidentally, Qin Ming found all the Materials needed above in another corner of the Origin Demon Pearl.

“How many Sins did Jiang Yuan commit in the Great Zhou? So many living souls and the flesh and blood of Cultivators…”

“I am also eliminating harm for the people.”

“It seems that with the death of this Demon Sect Saint Son, the other Demonic Paths will not dare to have any ideas about Great Jin.”

“I have also brought Peace to the Great Jin Cultivation World.”

Qin Ming then picked up a geographical map of the Bloodbound Realm and started flipping through it.

“It turns out that this Bloodbound Realm is a Small World between the Human Realm and the Spirit Realm.”

“It is controlled by several large Sects, and the highest is the existence of a God Transformation Sect…”

“The Blood Refining Demon Sect is one of them.”

“This so-called Heavenly Demon Catastrophe is just the Demon Sect’s Assessment of Disciples, and by the way, to Harvest the resources of the Lower Realm.”
