Chapter 397: Future Plans

Qin Ming put the books and jade slips back in their original places.

Even though he was already very knowledgeable, his heart was still filled with excitement at the moment!

So much cultivation data came from the Demonic Sect Saint Son, Jiang Yuan, who had collected it for many years. It also included many legacies about the Human Realm.

“Compared to those spirit items, the things on this bookshelf are the true priceless treasures.”

“This is comparable to the core true inheritance foundation of a God Transformation Sect.”

“If I digest all the knowledge here, both my knowledge and vision will surpass those cultivators of the Nascent Soul Sects.”

“And also be able to master several Demonic Path legacies.”

“It’s a pity that Master Cold Crow ran away with the foundation of the Xuanqing Temple. Otherwise, if it had fallen into Jiang Yuan’s hands, wouldn’t it be cheap for me again?”

“Alas! It’s a real pity.”

Qin Ming thought to himself in this way, full of regret.

Besides these massive amounts of book data, Qin Ming found many bottles and jars in another area.

They were all marked with what they contained and their uses.

Qin Ming opened some of the bottles and checked them, and immediately a rich and extreme bloody killing intent rushed towards him.

“What’s inside these bottles is actually the essence blood of High-Rank Demon Beasts!”

“Not only that, but also the essence blood of High-Rank Demons from the Bloodbound Realm.”

Qin Ming’s expression was excited. If this was the case, maybe his 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form Strategy》 could go a step further.

So he picked up these bottles and checked them one by one. Finally, in a pitch-black jade bottle, he found a bottle of Third Rank Great Completion-level Demon King essence blood.

“Third Rank Great Completion Realm, essence blood of the Crimson-Eyed Heavenly Qilin Beast!”

Accompanied by the rich blood qi, there was also a demon soul roaring inside. Just by looking at it, Qin Ming knew that this beast must be a remarkable existence in the Upper Realm.

“This Demon Sect Saint Son is truly a great person. He knows I’m lacking these treasures and packed them up for me and sent them to my door.”

“So many cultivation resources have fallen into my hands. Those Nascent Soul Old Monsters of this Blood Refining Demon Sect, I’m afraid they want to eat me.”

“Fortunately, it’s separated by the World Barrier Force, and those old monsters can’t come down.”

“The only thing that makes me dread is the other Demon Sect Saintess, but it seems that as long as I don’t get close to them, the Blood Ring Curse Seal on them won’t appear.”

“This woman can seriously injure even Master Cold Crow. I’m afraid her strength is even higher than Jiang Yuan’s, comparable to that of a true Nascent Soul cultivator, so it’s better to stay away.”

After tidying up these things, Qin Ming’s gaze once again fell upon that wisp of “Origin Demonic Qi”.

“To activate this Origin Demon Bead, it is estimated that I need to refine and control this wisp of Demonic Qi. Even with the strength of the Demon Sect Saint Son, it seems that he only refined one ten-thousandth of it.”

“After all, this Origin Demon Bead is a Fourth Rank or higher Demonic Treasure. Even if the Demon Sect Saint Son’s Magical Power is already close to the Nascent Soul, if he forcibly activates it across the realm, his Magical Power will also be exhausted instantly.”

“I’m afraid that only by truly cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm can the Origin Demon Bead exert its maximum power.”

“However, to refine this wisp of Origin Demonic Qi, I must cultivate Demonic Skill.”

Qin Ming pondered for a long time, but still put it aside for the time being.

“It’s like a wave of taking off! This guy’s treasure resources are enough to supply my cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Although I took some risks, it was worth it.”

“This trip to the Great Jin was truly the right one.”

Then.

Qin Ming’s Divine Sense withdrew from the Origin Demon Bead.

The Heaven Devouring Rat climbed onto his shoulder, tiptoeing, gently massaging, and said: “Eh Heh Heh! Master, look at that Demon Sect Saint Son’s Golden Core…”

Qin Ming looked at his appearance and knew what he was thinking again.

“Don’t worry, you won’t be left out.”

“In that 《Blood Refining Pill Scripture》, I saw a pill called the ‘Yellow Springs Pill’.”

“To refine this pill, one needs to grind the cultivator’s Golden Core into fine powder, assisted by dozens of other precious medicine auxiliary materials, and refine it for forty-nine days.”

“Moreover, the medicinal strength of the Yellow Springs Pill is determined by the rank of the cultivator’s Golden Core. The deeper the cultivation realm of the Golden Core, the higher the grade of the pill when it is refined.”

“This pill can not only greatly improve the cultivation of Demonic Cultivators, but also has great benefits for the Demon Race, with great improvements, hehehe!”

“If I use this Demon Sect Saint Son’s Golden Core to refine the ‘Yellow Springs Pill’, the grade will naturally not be low.”

“It can even refine the legendary Third Rank Top Grade Spirit Pill, which is also possible.”

“After all, his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Realm, and even reached the point of beginning to nurture the Holy Fetus.”

“I dare not imagine how wonderful it would be to refine it with his Golden Core.”

Qin Ming had a smile on his face and deliberately said to the Heaven Devouring Rat in a gentle and persuasive manner.

The Heaven Devouring Rat, upon hearing this, almost couldn’t stop drooling, and he sniffed his saliva hard.

“Yellow Springs Pill! This pill is good! Very good!”

“Eh Heh Heh! Then when will Master refine it for us?”

The Silver-Winged Frost Bee and the Black Water Crocodile also shook their heads, rubbing against his trouser legs.

Obviously, they couldn’t wait any longer, and were very eager.

“Alright, alright, stop rubbing, you three perform well, this Yellow Springs Pill, I will naturally refine it for you.”

Immediately, Qin Ming gave the three beasts some spirit materials and pills as a reward, and let them cultivate and play separately.

After reviewing the gains, Qin Ming left the Small Spiritual Realm, walked out of the room, and prepared to inquire about the outside situation.

Huo Xuzi made a big scene at the auction, and fought with Elder Jin Han in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace.

He nearly demolished half of the marketplace.

Fortunately, the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s industry was not damaged, only a few warehouses collapsed, and the impact was not significant.

Qin Ming went down from his room and asked Old Jia to understand the situation.

“Old Jia, how is the situation outside?”

Old Jia first sighed and said, “Alas! Shopkeeper, it’s truly fortunate to be able to keep a little life this time!”

“The Changfeng Merchant Guild next door, just across the street from us, was directly reduced to powder under the aftermath of the Golden Core True Person’s combat, and not a single one of the thirty or so people survived, all dead inside.”

“The old man is so fortunate to see Shopkeeper Lu again!”

“It’s really a mess outside now.”

“It is said that a very important Saint Son from the Demon Sect fell in the Five Elements Mountain Range, which caused a huge sensation in the Cultivation World.”

“That day, Elder Jin took the cultivators of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance to pursue Huo Xuzi, but they were ambushed by the Demonic Path and wiped out.”

“Only Elder Jin Han fortunately escaped, but he was also seriously injured and his life was uncertain.”

“The old man has heard that even the Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance and the Li Fire Palace were alarmed by this matter.”

Qin Ming pondered slightly, then asked calmly, “Then, do you know exactly who killed that Demon Sect Saint Son?”

“The old man doesn’t know this, but according to the information returned from this Pavilion, those people from the Demon Sect should have been preparing to ambush Master Cold Crow of the Xuanqing Temple at the time.”

“It was just that Huo Xuzi stole the final auction item, the Star Sea Divine Vine, and thus accidentally encountered the Demonic Path.”

“In addition, there is another thing, that is, President Hua of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company was also chased by Huo Xuzi at the time, but he returned to headquarters unharmed.”

“This person, President Hua, is also truly incredible.”

“He has survived several dangerous situations.”

Old Jia answered slowly.

“Well, Old Jia, you did a good job. Now the Five Elements Mountain area is a time of trouble.”

“In my opinion, it’s better to move the development focus of the Pavilion to the Central Continent as soon as possible.”

“In the near future, this place will have to face a bigger chaos.” Qin Ming said solemnly.

Old Jia was stunned for a moment. It took them a long time for the Mirror Snow Pavilion to establish a branch in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace, and it hadn’t been long before they had to move?

“Shopkeeper Lu, in this case… are we also going to abandon the spirit fields?”

The Five Elements Mountain spirit fields had been managed for so long, and they had profited greatly.

Even so, he now obviously respected Qin Ming’s opinion very much, and dared not have any other ideas.

“Well, I mean to lay out the plans in advance. As for the spirit fields, after Li Lan’s Jade Emperor Spirit Rice matures in a few years and is harvested, we will transfer it to other powers, and we can still earn another sum.”

“As for the Central Continent, I will give a call to the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance, and set aside a shop location in the Li Tian Immortal City.”

Qin Ming had finalized the future development direction in a few words.

As soon as he heard that ‘Shopkeeper Lu’ already had a retreat plan, Old Jia also looked delighted and hurriedly agreed.

“Yes! Respectfully obey Shopkeeper Lu’s order.”

“Well, go ahead and get busy, I’ll let you know if there’s anything.”

…

And on the other side, deep within the Five Elements Mountain Range.

In the hidden mountainside, above the Black Stone Plaza, the Green-robed Youth, who was sitting cross-legged in the center, had his Magical Power surging.

As time passed, his aura began to continuously ascend.

Boom!

Suddenly.

A boundless Magical Power fluctuation rippled through the cave space.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, like a giant whale absorbing water, was successively poured into the Green-robed Youth’s body.

If Qin Ming were here, he would have suddenly discovered that the Demonic Light Black Qi that was entrenched on Master Cold Crow’s Nascent Soul had vanished.

At this moment, the injuries suffered by Master Cold Crow’s soul had also completely recovered.

Shuhuo.

Ripples arose in the space, and a terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanated from the Green-robed Youth!

He opened his profound, abyss-like eyes, slowly stood up, and left the straw-woven futon he was sitting on.

“Hahaha! The pills given by that guy with the surname Lu are indeed rich in medicinal strength! They allowed this Ancestor to recover all injuries in such a short time.”

Because, in principle, it is difficult for a Nascent Soul True Lord to recover from an injury without a few decades, not to mention the injury on the Nascent Soul soul.

It is not surprising that it takes a hundred years or more.

“Congratulations, Supreme Elder, on your recovery! Your cultivation has been restored!”

Bai Yuhan and Elder Luo Xi, who were guarding outside, also rushed in upon hearing the movement and bowed in a great ceremony.

A long-lost smile appeared on Master Cold Crow’s handsome face. “It’s still too early for the cultivation to be fully restored, after all, the current body is the result of Body Possession, and it still needs some time.”

“But the Nascent Soul cultivation has also recovered to about seventy percent, and some of the previous Divine Abilities can be used.”

Bai Yuhan was overjoyed and said, “Then this disciple congratulates the Supreme Elder on returning to the peak as soon as possible, and leading us to rise again!”

“Well, that’s natural, Yuhan, Elder Luo, you two have done a great job, you have achieved great merit this time, this Ancestor will reward you.”

“In addition, you will take the token and convey this Ancestor’s order, summon the core disciples of the Sect, and prepare for the upcoming major event.”

As Master Cold Crow spoke, he flicked his fingers, handing the two simple tokens and some reward spirit items to them.

Bai Yuhan took the things, his expression excited:

“Please rest assured, Master Cold Crow!”

“To restore the glory of the Xuanqing Temple! Our generation is duty-bound!”

“Well.” Master Cold Crow nodded with satisfaction.

“There is also one thing to tell you, to reclaim the Great Zhou Xuanqing Temple is not a matter of overnight.”

“This Ancestor has decided to join the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, and will jointly resist the Demonic Path’s invasion.”

“Yes!” Bai Yuhan and Elder Luo Xi bowed in response.

“Alright, there’s nothing else, you two go back and handle affairs first.”

However, Bai Yuhan and Elder Luo Xi looked at each other, then said, “Reporting to the Supreme Elder, this disciple has another matter to report to you!”

“You were recovering and cultivating in seclusion these past few days, and we didn’t dare to disturb your quiet cultivation.”

“Speak.” Master Cold Crow said faintly.

“That is… some time ago, a riot occurred in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace, and it is said that the Demon Sect Saint Son fell in that battle.” After Bai Yuhan finished speaking, he carefully watched the Old Ancestor’s reaction.

As soon as the words fell.

“What?!”

Master Cold Crow’s eyes suddenly opened wide!

“Say it again?”

“What exactly happened?”

When he heard this news, his entire mood also fluctuated.

Others didn’t know the methods of the Demon Sect Saint Son, but Master Cold Crow had fought with those two Saint Son and Saintess before.

The Demon Sect Saint Son, Jiang Yuan, possessed a very tricky Fourth Rank Demon Bead, which also gave him a headache back then.

Immediately, Bai Yuhan reported the events that had occurred some time ago to Master Cold Crow in detail.

“Unexpectedly, the Demon Sect Saint Son is dead, which is a good piece of news for us.”

“With only one Demonic Path Saintess left, the difficulty of this Ancestor’s plan to reclaim the Sect has been reduced a lot.”

“I don’t know who exactly made the move…”

Master Cold Crow’s eyes were slightly narrowed, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

“It seems that there is still some Old Monster lurking within the Five Elements Mountain Range. It is truly too sinister, and you should be more careful in your actions in the future.”

“Yes!” Bai Yuhan responded.

Master Cold Crow’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he said grimly, “Hehehe! If one of them is dead, when this old man recovers his cultivation, he will surely avenge the humiliation of that day!”

Immediately, he seemed to think of something else.

So he asked the two:

“By the way, do you know where that Shopkeeper Lu is now?”

“That little fellow took advantage of this Old Ancestor’s serious injuries, and asked for an exorbitant price, exchanging for two Fourth Rank spirit items in a row.”

“The others are fine, but the Five Elements Spirit Ginseng is invaluable. It is not comparable to an ordinary Fourth Rank spirit material. Even our Sect only has two, not enough for our own use, how can it be so easily taken?”

“Although he has also saved this Old Ancestor’s life, it is truly too hateful!”

“This Ancestor still has to go and find him personally to settle this debt.”

Master Cold Crow recalled the situation of that day, and the ‘Shopkeeper Lu’s’ face that was unmoved, suddenly appeared in his mind.

He also thought of the other party, who had forcefully exchanged his Five Elements Spirit Ginseng with him.

Master Cold Crow had been around in the Cultivation World for a thousand years, and no one had ever dared to do that.

This is one time, and that is another time. Now that he is revitalized, he will naturally pay a visit to see him in person.

Bai Yuhan looked embarrassed and stammered back, “Reporting to the Old Ancestor, Shopkeeper Lu has purchased a spirit field in Five Elements Mountain.”

“He’s been there all along.”

“Alright, this Ancestor knows.”

…

The Five Elements Mountain spirit field, full of vitality.

Qin Ming returned to the spirit field and checked the growth of all the spirit plants, which was not bad.

The Mirror Snow Pavilion’s spirit farmers greeted him respectfully.

Li Lan was also sweating profusely, and was applying the Great Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique to irrigate the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice.

The Third Rank Jade Emperor Spirit Rice had already grown into a large area of emerald green bamboo forest.

After exchanging greetings with Li Lan.

Qin Ming went to cultivate his ten mu of Tianluo Fruit again.

Just then.

The Heaven Devouring Rat ran back from outside and said to Qin Ming with an excited expression:

“Master, someone wants to see you, hehehe!”

…
