Chapter 406: Aftermath

“I have to say, sometimes I quite envy Brother Qin.”

“No ties, go and stay as you please, free and unfettered!”

“Unlike me, even though my Alchemy Skill has reached Fourth Rank, most of the time I still have to consider the factors of the clan, and my heart is bound by concerns.”

Su Yuqing said with emotion.

“Then, Brother Qin, when are you planning to return to the Southern Wilderness?”

“In these two years, the Spirit Field still has the last batch of Spirit Rice that hasn’t matured, but it’s almost there.” Qin Ming said.

“Brother Su, to be honest, there is also an important reason why Qin is so anxious to return to the Southern Wilderness this time.”

Su Yuqing asked with doubt, “Oh?”

“I suppose Brother Su has also seen that the situation near Five Elements Mountain has already become chaotic.”

“If I don’t leave, I’m afraid I’ll be affected.”

Immediately, Qin Ming told Su Yuqing about the situation in Five Elements Mountain Marketplace and its surroundings.

After a long time.

Su Yuqing’s expression was serious, and he pondered, “I didn’t expect that even the Great Demons of the Demon Race have been mobilized.”

“A few days ago, I also heard that the Defenders of the Dao Alliance mobilized two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, most likely also to deal with this matter.”

“It seems that Brother Qin is still extremely wise and has made preparations for evacuation early.”

“Only two hundred acres of Spirit Field, although it’s under the Fourth-Rank branch, it should be abandoned if necessary.”

“Alas! There must be many people coveting the Secret Realm of Qingyuan Sect. After this appears, there will inevitably be a period of bloodshed.”

“Brother Qin, avoid the limelight and return to the Southern Wilderness to prepare for the Nascent Soul matter, which is also a very good choice.”

“I originally planned to keep you in the Su Clan, but once the war starts, the Su Clan will definitely not be able to avoid being conscripted.”

“Let’s not think about it anymore.”

Qin Ming smiled and said, “Thank you for your goodwill, Brother Su. It seems that it can only be done later.”

“By the way, Brother Qin, do you still have any doubts about refining the Nascent Soul Pill? I have some new insights after breaking through the Fourth Rank Alchemy Skill recently.” Su Yuqing asked while sipping Spirit Tea.

Qin Ming, upon hearing this, would certainly not miss this opportunity to learn, so he humbly asked for advice again.

“As Brother Su expected, I do have some uncertainties about a few Acupuncture Points.”

“Tell me, and I will answer them for you together on this occasion.” Su Yuqing said.

“Then thank you very much, Brother Su.” Qin Ming cupped his hands in thanks.

Su Yuqing waved his hand, “What are you being so polite about between us? I have received so many valuable things from you.”

“By the way, before this, could Brother Su arrange a table of Wine and Dishes for my three Beast Pets?” Qin Ming asked with a smile.

Su Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then also smiled slightly, and immediately ordered the attendants outside to bring a large table of Wine and Dishes and place it in the backyard.

All kinds of Fine Wine and Dishes were dazzling and almost everything was available.

After Qin Ming released the Heaven Devouring Rat and the other three Beasts, they happily went to eat and drink.

Lest, when they return, this guy complains that he is eating well and drinking well, and doesn’t bring them along.

Qin Ming sent the Spirit Pets away, and then went back to communicate with Su Yuqing about Alchemy matters.

“Long time no see, Brother Qin’s Spirit Pets have grown to such a degree, it really surprises me.” Su Yuqing looked at the three Spirit Beasts eating heartily outside.

“Haha! Just three gluttons, Brother Su is laughing at me.” Qin Ming said casually.

In the following few days, Su Yuqing explained some Alchemy experience to Qin Ming, as well as various precautions when refining the Nascent Soul Pill.

After the two exchanged and discussed, Qin Ming had new insights into Alchemy, and the Success Rate had improved a lot.

Even for Fourth Rank Alchemy, Qin Ming had some grasp.

After a full seven days, the two of them ended their discussion and exchange.

The Heaven Devouring Rat, the Black Water Crocodile, and the other three Beasts, for these few days, either ate and slept, or slept and ate, were served with delicious food and drinks every day, it was so fulfilling.

On this day.

The Heaven Devouring Rat was holding a toothpick, seeing Qin Ming come out of the Immortal’s Cave, its expression was uplifted, and it bared its teeth and asked:

“Master, what are we eating tonight?”

“Haven’t had enough yet? We’re about to go back.” Qin Ming glared at it.

Then.

Qin Ming took the three Spirit Beasts back into the Little Spirit Realm, turned and said to Su Yuqing, “Brother Su, no need to see me off, I believe we will meet again one day.”

“Then, Daoist Qin, take care.” Su Yuqing walked out of the Immortal’s Cave to see Qin Ming off.

“I wish you May Your Immortal Path Be Everlasting.”

“Brother Su, we will meet again in the future.”

After bidding farewell to Su Yuqing, Qin Ming transformed into a Green Rainbow and returned to Li Tian Immortal City.

Old Jia and the others from Mirror Snow Pavilion, after finishing the celebration, had already returned to the Shop two days ago.

Qin Ming secretly found an opportunity to meet Hua Tianxiong outside the Immortal City.

He pulled Hua Tianxiong into the Little Spirit Realm.

Hua Tianxiong’s face was full of smiles as he handed a Storage Bag to Qin Ming, and said respectfully:

“Master, this is the last few Spirit Materials you wanted, and they are all in it.”

“These things are really not easy to get, and some of them don’t even have a production area in Great Jin, and can only use the Merchant Alliance’s Channel to get them from Other Places, thousands of miles away.”

“It’s quite a lot of trouble.”

“Well, you did a good job.” Qin Ming took the Spirit Materials, opened it, glanced at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

He could see that Hua Tianxiong had also done his best.

Then, Qin Ming took out a Jade Bottle and threw it to him, saying:

“Within these two years, I will return to the Southern Wilderness, and you continue to lurk in Great Jin.”

“The two Divine Wood Pills inside should be more than enough for your Cultivation to Breakthrough to Late Golden Core.”

Hua Tianxiong was first startled upon hearing this, and then took the Jade Bottle with joy and worry.

The worry was that his Great Backer was leaving.

The joy was that with two Divine Wood Pills, his Cultivation could go further.

“Master, are you leaving Great Jin?”

“Or…or should I go with you? I am willing to serve you, hehe!”

Hua Tianxiong, after seeing Qin Ming’s Means, how could he not recognize who the real Thigh was.

As soon as these words came out, the Heaven Devouring Rat, who was not far away, couldn’t sit still, and couldn’t help but say: “You’re still saying a whole set of lines, and then serve.”

Hua Tianxiong smiled self-consciously, a little embarrassed.

Qin Ming pondered slightly:

“You don’t need to go with me. With these two Pills, it’s enough for you to Advance to Late Golden Core. Even if a war breaks out in Great Jin, you will have enough to protect yourself.”

“In addition, Elder Qian of the Li Fire Palace will also protect you. As long as you restrain your nature, your Safety is not a big problem.”

“Moreover, I’m letting you stay in Great Jin to have great use in the future.”

“You can’t ignore the vast Merchant Guild you’ve worked so hard to manage.”

Hua Tianxiong nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and didn’t say much.

“Then I will Respectfully Obey Master’s Arrange.”

He has been in the merchant sea of the Cultivation World for many years, and after so many years helping Qin Ming collect Spirit Materials.

Through the influence of others, he also saw some Clues, Qin Ming’s current plan is probably very ambitious, and he might be Refining some very powerful Pill.

The world only knows Su Yuqing of Great Jin, whose Alchemy Attainment is Astonishing Talent, but he knows that Qin Ming’s Alchemy Skill is also no less than Alchemist King Su’s.

His Spirit Plant Attainment is even unmatched, just in the Little Spirit Realm, those High-Grade Spirit Plants that are almost rare in the Cultivation World, can make people look up to him.

“Well, you can go. In addition, you also help me take care of Mirror Snow Pavilion.”

“This subordinate understands.”

……

After several days.

Qin Ming returned to the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace through the Teleportation Array of Li Tian Immortal City.

As soon as he returned to the Marketplace, he could feel that the Atmosphere was already very different from before.

In Yufeng Tower.

Qin Ming learned from Han Yuan and the other two people that even the Teleportation Array of the Marketplace was going to be closed recently.

“Alas! Daoist Lu shouldn’t have come back.”

“Just a few days ago, the disciples of the Li Fire Palace and the people of Divine Dao Mountain had several Friction in the Marketplace, and they almost came to blows.”

“It’s making us all in a state of confusion, but both sides are Nascent Soul Realm Power of Great Jin, and it’s not easy to Offend.”

Han Yuan sighed, and it could be seen that the Marketplace had changed so much, and he had heard some Rumor.

“To be honest, I came back this time to Prepare to Leave.”

“It’s just that I’m going back to the Southern Wilderness.”

“After all, I, Lu, have been out for decades, and I also miss my homeland~”

“But before I go, I still have to Harvest the Spirit Rice in the Spirit Field, after all, those Jade Emperor Spirit Rice cost Li Lan nearly ten years of Heart’s Blood.” Qin Ming explained, holding a Wine Cup.

Han Yuan was suddenly enlightened when he heard this: “That’s true. One hundred acres of Third-Rank Jade Emperor Spirit Rice is a considerable fortune, and its Value is immeasurable.”

He was also somewhat envious in his words.

“Lu is looking for Daoist Han this time, and I just want to ask, are there any Magic Ships returning to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World in the Marketplace recently?”

Han Yuan smiled, “Daoist Lu is asking the right person. Nowadays, the docks in and out of Great Jin are under the control of our Defenders of the Dao Alliance.”

“In recent years, as the Great Li Demonic Path has invaded Great Zhou more deeply, many fleeing Cultivators have poured into the Border of Great Jin, and there are even some who have Smuggled.”

“Now, the management of ships is extremely strict compared to before. To leave by ship, you must go through cumbersome Identity verification Procedures before you can board the ship.”

Immediately, he took out a Book, which was densely packed and detailed, recording the Merchant Ship records of the major Merchant Guilds in Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, to and from various places.

Han Yuan flipped through the Book and pointed to a place and said:

“Daoist Lu, the recent Merchant Ship going to the Southern Wilderness is the ‘Tianlan’ of Jintian Merchant Guild, which will depart in a year and a half.”

Jintian Merchant Guild?

This name, why does it feel a little familiar…

Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered that when he attended the Alchemist King Su’s Celebration, he had encountered Lu Huayuan, wasn’t he from Jintian Merchant Guild?

The Journey from Great Jin to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World is extremely long, and you have to depart from the Black Sea route and return the same way.

It’s impossible to arrive without a year and a half.

If you encounter the harsh Weather of the Black Sea, it is estimated that it will take even longer.

“Uh, Daoist Han, besides Jintian Merchant Guild, are there any other Ships?” Qin Ming hesitated and asked.

Han Yuan continued to look down, and then said, “After that, it’s the Merchant Ship of Qilian Merchant Guild, but their Merchant Ship just returned from the Southern Wilderness, and it will take at least five years before they go to the Southern Wilderness once.”

“Then it’s Jintian Merchant Guild. Does Daoist Han have a way to get a ticket? Lu will be very grateful.” Qin Ming Clasped Hands and said.

Han Yuan waved his hand: “A Small Matter, Daoist Lu, just rest assured, I’ll take care of everything.”

“You can come to me in a few days to get the boarding Token.”

Immediately, Qin Ming took out a bottle, which he had obtained from a Dead Ghost’s Corpse, and handed it to Han Yuan.

“This is Lu’s little Meaning, please be sure to accept it, Daoist Han.”

Han Yuan immediately glared and said, “Daoist Lu is looking down on the old man!”

“To be able to help a little in the end, it’s not in vain that we’ve known each other for so many years.”

At Qin Ming’s insistence, Han Yuan reluctantly accepted the Pill.

But when he secretly opened the bottle cap and glanced at it, it directly shocked him.

‘Second-Rank High-Grade Pill!’

For a moment, he felt somewhat reluctant to see ‘Shopkeeper Lu’ leave

After a small gathering with Han Yuan and getting the return trip sorted out.

Qin Ming left Five Elements Mountain Marketplace and came to the Spirit Field.

In the current Spirit Field, in addition to Li Lan’s one hundred acres of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, the other Spirit Fields were not planted again.

Only leaving some Spirit Farmers to watch over the Spirit Field.

When Qin Ming came back, Li Lan was staring at the Spirit Field, lost in thought.

Recently, the Wind and Cloud in Five Elements Mountain Range has been changing, making People’s Hearts uneasy, and he clearly guessed something.

And he heard that Shopkeeper Lu of Mirror Snow Pavilion, with Old Jia and the others, had all migrated to Central Continent.

Only he had to guard the one hundred acres of Spirit Field in front of him, which was really a bit of a longing.

Just as Li Lan was in a daze, he saw Qin Ming return.

His gaze immediately brightened, and he quickly ran over and bowed, “Shopkeeper Lu, you’re back?”

“Well, I see that the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice can be Harvested in at most a year, so I’ll stay here with you.”

“You also don’t need to worry too much, I will Arrange you and your Family Members to Central Continent, and merge with Old Jia and the others.”

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Lu, Li will never forget this Life!” Li Lan was very grateful.

Qin Ming said faintly, “No Problem, you are my Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Spirit Farmer, and naturally, I will not abandon you. You can take care of the Spirit Field with peace of mind during this time.”

Then, he returned to the Immortal’s Cave in the Spirit Field and resumed his daily Cultivation.

In addition, Qin Ming also asked the Heaven Devouring Rat to pay attention at any time to the Blooming Progress of the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree under the Five Elements Mountain Range.

Although Qin Ming had previously learned that even if the Sacrifice Ritual was Opened, the Demonic Path would need three years to make the Treasure Tree Bloom.

But it cannot be guaranteed that they will come up with some other Method to speed up the process.

“There’s still a year and a half before I Leave, there’s still time.”

“At least within this period, the War will not Open.”

Qin Ming was secretly pondering, and the next few days were all devoted to Cultivation and the study of Technique.

The Fourth-Rank Treasure Refining Inheritance of the Blood Refining Demon Sect 《Demon Craftsman’s Revelation》 has been thoroughly studied by him, and various Treasure Refining Techniques are extremely skilled.

Combined with 《Treasure Refining Technique》, his Attainment in Artificing is also rapidly improving.

And he used the 【Spirit Plant Seed Treasure】 Attribute to plant in his Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine’s Blood Pagoda, which has been completely Repaired, and is advancing towards the Fourth-Rank Spirit Treasure.

Time Flies, a year has passed in a flash.

On this day.

Qin Ming was studying 《Yuancha Seed Demon True Scripture》, because he was interested in the ‘Yuancha Demon Body’.

The reason is that his current 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form Strategy》 has been Cultivated to the Great Completion Realm.

If you go further, you have to break the Shackles of the Physical Body.

According to the description of this Demonic Race Scripture, if you want to reach the point where the Physical Body Becomes a Saint, you must absorb and Refine a Natal Demonic Qi of a Fourth-Rank Demon Saint.

Such harsh Conditions are obviously somewhat difficult for Qin Ming to achieve.

Therefore, he turned his attention to the ‘Yuancha Demon Body’, because Qin Ming already had the necessary Conditions for Cultivating this kind of Demon Body, which is the Origin Demonic Qi.

After his research, after replacing the Natal Demonic Qi required in the 《Heavenly Demon Refining Form Strategy》 with the Origin Demonic Qi, combined with the two supreme Body Refining Techniques, it seems to be feasible.

And the Origin Demonic Qi, Qin Ming does not need to spend his mind to look for.

Not only does the Origin Demon Pearl have one, but the Thunder Essence Jujube Tree in the Little Spirit Realm has also given Birth to a 【Origin Demonic Qi】, there’s simply too much.
