Chapter 401: All Sorts Of People Gather In The Five Elements Mountain Range

For several years since Great Li’s invasion of Great Zhou, countless refugee cultivators have poured into the border.

Even the Great Jin Southern Region was no exception; regardless of how it was managed, many Great Zhou cultivators still smuggled into Great Jin.

In recent years.

The Five Elements Mountain Marketplace has become a place of mixed fortunes.

Since the establishment of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, this situation has eased considerably.

The Defenders of the Dao Alliance is a powerful force, and the Great Jin Cultivation World is still relatively stable, but friction with Great Li’s forces still occurs from time to time.

Of course, it also relates to the fall of the Demonic Path’s Saint Son, causing the Blood Refining Demon Sect and the Yin Demon Sect to deeply dread this side.

They are constantly sending people to Great Jin to investigate the Saint Son’s fall.

But after a long time, they still gained nothing.

In addition, with the outbreak of war, more and more injured people poured into the border, and healing pills and life-saving items became hot commodities in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace.

High-grade healing medicines were even more scarce.

After Qin Ming refined the Tianluo Powder, he gave it to Old Jia to sell in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace.

By the way, he told him that it was also acceptable to exchange the Tianluo Powder for high-grade spirit materials, not limited to spirit stones.

After all, last time, Old Jia exchanged the Soul Cleansing Incense for the 《 Drunken Immortal’s Divine Formula 》’s subsequent secret formula, which was extremely worthwhile.

This gave him the opportunity to brew the legend, which could help cultivators break through to the Golden Core Realm Demonflame Wine.

And as a Third Stage Upper Grade Precious Medicine, it is believed that many Golden Core Cultivators are also willing to exchange spirit materials.

In the Small Spiritual Realm, Qin Ming is guiding the Earth Spirit Spring to irrigate the spirit plants.

In this medicine field with the richest spiritual energy, he planted the Nurturing Nascent Fruit, Five Elements Spirit Ginseng, Great Yi Bodhi, Transformation Demon Grass, plus a whole bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Saliva obtained from the Demon Cultivator Qiu.

The five main ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Pill have been induced by him using Attributes, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

These five spirit materials, placed separately in the Cultivation World, are all rare items, only grasped by Nascent Soul Sects.

It is the foundation for cultivating Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

And here with Qin Ming, only one spirit material is needed, and it can be continuously induced by the Attributes.

Five major rare main ingredients, plus more than a dozen Fourth Rank rare auxiliary materials, and more than a hundred Third Rank auxiliary materials.

With such a vast amount of high-grade resources, even if the Li Fire Palace of Great Jin used the power of the entire sect, it would take several hundred years to gather them.

And under a series of opportunities, plus the help of Hua Tianxiong and Su Yuqing to collect, after spending several decades, he finally collected most of the spirit materials needed to refine the Nascent Soul Pill.

And the materials used to refine the Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill are all collected.

“At present, the materials for refining the Nascent Soul Pill, only a few Third Rank auxiliary materials are left, Hua Tianxiong should be fast as well.”

This day.

Qin Ming finished his daily practice and came to the spirit field.

Of the two hundred acres of Fourth Rank Branch Spirit Fields in Five Elements Mountain, only the one hundred acres of Third-Rank Jade Emperor Spirit Rice planted by Li Lan are not yet mature.

The maturation cycle of the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice is generally around ten years, and if cultivated well, it can be earlier.

Qin Ming observed the situation in the spirit field, the jadeite-like Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, had already grown to over a foot tall, like a large bamboo forest.

Under Li Lan’s careful cultivation, the growth is not bad, and it seems that the yield will not be too bad at harvest time.

“Shopkeeper Lu, you are here!” Li Lan saw Qin Ming coming and quickly greeted him.

Qin Ming faintly said: “Well, you did a good job.”

“This batch of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice is estimated to be able to harvest two years in advance, I originally planned to let you plant the land here for another thirty years.”

“But the current situation is starting to get chaotic, after harvesting the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, although these two hundred acres of spirit fields are good, they have to be abandoned.”

“In the past two years, I have already had Old Jia move the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s industry to Central Continent, and after harvesting this season’s spirit plants, you will also go along.”

Li Lan, after hearing Qin Ming’s words, quickly responded.

“Shopkeeper Lu, please rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised before.”

“Being able to move to Central Continent to work is what so many Free Cultivators yearn for, I will do my best, and I will not fail Shopkeeper Lu’s Great Kindness.”

Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he flew towards the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace.

As soon as Qin Ming arrived near the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace, he could clearly feel that the cultivators entering and leaving the marketplace were increasing.

Even some seriously injured cultivators were rushing inside.

But these external cultivators had to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones to enjoy the protection of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance.

After Qin Ming entered the marketplace, he went towards the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

But he saw that the Mirror Snow Pavilion was surrounded by an impenetrable crowd, including many cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Old Jia and the shop assistants were all busy, sweating profusely.

He was hesitating whether to go in or not, when he happened to meet an Old Acquaintance on the street.

“Yo! Daoist Lu, long time no see.”

“Your Mirror Snow Pavilion is exceptionally popular now! Hahaha! I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

The person who came was Han Yuan, who was currently patrolling the marketplace with a team of Defenders of the Dao Alliance cultivators.

“Haha! Daoist Han, you’ve been promoted, right? Congratulations!” Qin Ming saw Han Yuan wearing the blue and white clothing of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are Gao Feng and Liu Ye, the two people?”.

“Alas! Don’t mention it, isn’t it that the cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace have surged recently, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, and I am also where I need to be.”

“Gao Feng and Liu Ye, they are now also assigned to the outer patrol camp.”

Although Han Yuan said so, Qin Ming could still see a touch of pride between his expressions.

Obviously, being responsible for patrolling the marketplace is also a good position.

Han Yuan’s three people are usually quite good, and with Qin Ming’s personal relationship, they didn’t care less about Mirror Snow Pavilion.

“Daoist Lu, why don’t you go to Yufeng Tower for a chat?”

“I see that your Mirror Snow Pavilion is too lively, with many people and mixed opinions,” Han Yuan suggested.

Qin Ming agreed: “Alright.”

He also wanted to ask Han Yuan about some recent Inside Information.

Afterwards.

The two people came to a window seat on the third floor of Yufeng Tower and ordered a table of wine and dishes, and began to talk.

It was not a meal time at the moment, and there were only their two people on the entire third floor.

“Daoist Lu, I didn’t expect your connections to be so broad! Even a life-saving Precious Medicine like the Tianluo Powder can be obtained.”

“Now, the cultivators lining up for medicine at the Mirror Snow Pavilion can line up for two miles every day, which is really an exaggeration, haha!”

“Now, a bottle of Tianluo Powder has been bid up to twenty Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and there are still many powers vying for it!”

“Daoist Han is too complimentary, just a small business.”

Qin Ming also expected that the life-saving spirit medicine would be very popular, but he didn’t expect it to be so absurd.

Immediately, he took out a jade bottle from his arms and placed it in front of Han Yuan, “Haha! In these years, I have to thank the three Fellow Daoists for taking care of This Pavilion, here is a little bit of my kindness.”

“Daoist Lu, look at what you are saying, it’s too polite,” Han Yuan said, and opened the jade bottle, but was stunned on the spot.

“Tianluo Powder!!”

“Daoist Lu, this item is too precious, how can Han receive it?”

Han Yuan knew in his heart that they are all in patrol positions now, and it is inevitable to have combat.

This medicine, at a critical moment, can save their life.

“Just a little spirit medicine, Daoist Han, please do not decline,” Qin Ming smiled faintly.

Han Yuan was excited, and half-heartedly accepted the spirit medicine, and said solemnly: “Then thank you very much, Daoist Lu, if you have any dispatch in the future, just mention it.”

“I will also toast a glass to Daoist Lu on behalf of Gao Feng and Liu Ye, this is the new Green Waves wine from Yufeng Tower, you try it.”

“They are on duty outside, busy with affairs, they do not have this kind of blessing.”

Afterwards, Han Yuan told Qin Ming about some things in the Defenders of the Dao Alliance.

He first poured a glass of spirit wine for Qin Ming, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: “Daoist Lu, I heard that a Nascent Soul True Monarch once came to your spirit field, is this true?”

Qin Ming didn’t expect that the other party also knew this, and immediately nodded without concealing it.

“That’s right, but that Senior came to order some high-grade spirit rice.”

“They didn’t stay long.”

Sss~

Han Yuan confirmed this from Qin Ming, and was still somewhat surprised.

After all, that is the peak existence of the Cultivation World, and is the one who truly controls the chessboard.

“Daoist Lu, can you reveal which True Monarch Senior it is?” Han Yuan’s Eight Trigrams heart was instead aroused first.

“It is Senior Master Cold Crow of the Great Zhou Xuanqing Temple.”

“I didn’t expect it to be Senior Cold Crow!” Han Yuan sighed with emotion, and then continued, “Just a while ago, True Lord Cold Crow has already joined the Defenders of the Dao Alliance with Xuanqing Temple.”

“Rumor has it that Senior Cold Crow was seriously injured, but he recovered so quickly.”

“It’s really unimaginable.”

Speaking of this.

Han Yuan raised his hand and unleashed a Sound-Insulating Barrier, and said to Qin Ming: “I have learned some Insider Information in the alliance, the Five Elements Mountain Range is not right lately, I am afraid that a Major Event is about to happen.”

“I suggest that Daoist Lu, if you have a way, it’s better to stay away from this Place of Right and Wrong, alas!”

“Oh? Daoist Han, why do you say this?” Qin Ming asked when he saw him speaking about serious matters.

“It seems that the upper echelons of the Li Fire Palace, the spies they planted in the Divine Dao Mountain, have secretly found a very important piece of intelligence in the Five Elements Mountain Range.”

“Now, the internal of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance are all Wind and Crane Cries, and I feel a bit uneasy.”

“In addition, it can be confirmed that the Divine Dao Mountain has completely turned to the Great Li Yin Demon Sect, even if there is no matter of the Five Elements Mountain, I am afraid that in the near future, the long-standing conflict between the two sides will sooner or later erupt again.”

“Once the Divine Dao Mountain changes its position.”

“A Great Battle is estimated to be unavoidable.”

“Therefore, the current Great Jin Southern Region is also not a Good Place.”

“The three of us are caught in the situation and cannot make a choice to escape.”

“Daoist Lu must have seen it too, the cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace have suddenly increased, and some of the cultivators, are not without the Various Powers secretly Commanding Troops”

Han Yuan sighed after finishing speaking.

“So that’s how it is, thank you for informing me, Daoist Han.”

Qin Ming drank a glass of spirit wine, and pondered in his heart.

‘It seems that the paper will eventually fail to cover the fire, the Divine Dao Mountain and the Yin Demon Sect, failed to conceal the matter of the Ancient Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm, and were detected by the Li Fire Palace.’

‘In this way, in order to contend for this Secret Realm, many more cultivators will die, and a Great Battle is unavoidable.’

‘At present, it’s just because of the entrance of the Secret Realm, that the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree has not yet bloomed, and the Secret Realm has not been opened, so the Great Powers did not immediately tear their faces apart.’

Qin Ming pondered for a long time, and then asked Han Yuan:

“What is the current situation of the internal of the Defenders of the Dao Alliance?”

Han Yuan replied, “The Defenders of the Dao Alliance was initiated by the Li Fire Palace, and the conditions for joining the alliance are still extremely harsh.”

“The Defenders of the Dao Alliance only accepts Nascent Soul level Powers to join, representing the peak Powers of the Cultivation World, currently it is the Li Fire Palace, Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance, Xuanqing Temple, and Nascent Soul Free Cultivators.”

“But it is said that some Powers that have Golden Core Realm Great Cultivators sitting in the garrison, are also barely qualified.”

“But they have to pass the assessment of the members of the alliance.”

“Thank you for informing me, Daoist Han, in fact, Lu also has this intention, in the past two years, I have secretly transferred the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s industry to the Great Jin Central Continent,” Qin Ming toasted a glass of wine to the other party.

“It turns out that I was overthinking, Daoist Lu is far-sighted, and doesn’t need me to worry at all, haha!”

……

After the two people communicated with each other.

Han Yuan had to go to the marketplace to patrol and defend, so they took their farewell and went to be busy.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was alone, sitting at the table next to the window sill, drinking alone, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, and pondering in his heart.

Before long, the cultivators who came to the restaurant to eat also increased.

The third floor was also full of people, becoming lively.

The cultivators at the surrounding tables were discussing.

“Alas, the Tianluo Powder of the Mirror Snow Pavilion is too absurd, isn’t it? It has only been a few days, and it has risen again to twenty Top-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Who can afford this?”

“If you don’t want it, there are plenty of people who want it! After all, this Pill can heal even the injuries of Golden Core Cultivators in an instant, and cause Resurrection.”

“With this Pill, as long as it’s not a fatal instant injury, it’s equivalent to having an extra life, who doesn’t want it?”

“That’s right, the more advanced the cultivation of the cultivators, the more they care about their life.”

“And, as they also said, if there are rare Spirit Items, they can also be exchanged!”

“Alas, in any case, this kind of luxury item is not something that we can get our hands on, twenty Top-Grade Spirit Stones are enough to buy several High-Grade Life-Saving Magic Tools.”

“By the way, there is another sensational news, haven’t you heard?”

“I heard that Great Grandmaster Su Yuqing of Dragon Court Lake in Great Jin Central Continent, not long ago, refined a Fourth Rank Lower Grade Primordial Spirit Pill, and ascended to the realm of the Pill King.”

“Master Su really has astonishing talent on the path of Alchemy, and has become the youngest Fourth-Rank Pill King in the history of the Great Jin Cultivation World.”

“The Longting Lake Su Clan, it is said that they have already received an invitation from the Defenders of the Dao Alliance.”

“That Li Fire Palace must be regretting it to death? They agreed to the Su Clan separating from the Sect back then.”

“You must know that, now the Li Fire Palace only has one Fourth-Rank Pill King sitting in the garrison.”

“Third Stage Upper Grade Tianluo Powder, not everyone can refine it, I heard that the Mirror Snow Pavilion has some Friendship with Master Su.”

“Could it be that this Pill came from his hand?”

“……”

Qin Ming was holding a wine cup, listening to the news around him, and couldn’t help but sigh:

‘I didn’t expect Brother Su’s progress to be so fast, without making a sound, they have already taken a step ahead and reached the Fourth Rank Alchemist.’

Just then.

In the staircase of the third floor, a person slowly walked up.

This person was wearing a black Feather Robe, with a fair complexion, black hair tied up, a slightly pointed Nose, wearing a pair of straw shoes, and always had a faint smile on his face.

They looked around the third floor, and saw that it was full of people.

Afterwards, their gaze fell on Qin Ming’s table by the window sill.

Seeing that Qin Ming was drinking alone, and there was no one in the opposite seat, they walked over and asked with a gentle and elegant smile:

“Fellow Daoist, may I sit in this seat?”

……
