Chapter 477: Incident, Spirit Venerable

In the Green Wood Pavilion.

Everyone, including the Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists, as well as the four Great Demons of the Demon Race who came to pay their respects, all stepped forward to offer their congratulations, and then presented gifts to Qin Ming.

These things were originally meant for the Heaven Devouring Rat, so Qin Ming could only accept them on their behalf.

As the saying goes, “raise a rat for a thousand days, use it for a moment.”

Now was the moment for it to repay him.

The treasures sent by everyone were overflowing, all of which were rare sights in the outside world.

The top figures of the Cultivation World present, in their words, treated Qin Ming with extreme politeness.

After all, a Fourth-Rank Transforming Great Demon, plus a Nascent Soul True Lord with considerable strength.

This combat strength, looking at the entire Cultivation World, was also not to be underestimated.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators also couldn’t afford Fourth-Rank Spirit Pets.

First of all, cultivation was difficult, not to mention that to raise such a Fourth-Rank realm Great Demon, the massive resources needed could deplete the foundation of a great sect.

Only someone like Qin Ming, who was dual-cultivated in both Spirit Plant Attainment and Alchemy Attainment, could afford to cultivate such a heaven-defying Spiritual Beast.

And for the Way of Taming Beasts, the requirements were even higher.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin! You wouldn’t still be a Fourth-Rank Beast Tamer, would you? You kept it from us so well!” Tianjizi said with a sour tone.

They had just seen it firsthand, the scene of the Heaven Devouring Rat showing great might, defeating two Demonic Nascent Souls in a single battle.

This made the cultivators present even more wary.

The great divine ability of the Heaven Devouring Rat, which devoured Nascent Souls, was simply unforgettable for them.

Of course, some people genuinely celebrated, and there were also some envious ones, but they didn’t say it out loud due to face.

Qin Ming also really didn’t have a good impression of Tianjizi, the old fellow.

When everyone ran away from Dragon Abyss Island, when it came to selling out teammates, wasn’t the word “fast” enough?

But just then.

Following the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint, the Black Feathered Demon Cultivator, spoke a sentence with some dissatisfaction:

“This Seat has also long heard of Fellow Daoist Qin’s great name, and also know that you have a good relationship with Brother Gushan, and Daoist Silver Moon.”

Speaking of this, the Black Feathered Demon Cultivator paused for a moment, and then continued:

“But although the Heaven Devouring Rat King used to be Fellow Daoist Qin’s subordinate Spirit Pet, but now that he has ascended to the position of Demon Saint, Fellow Daoist Qin should let him leave, right?”

“After all, a Fourth-Rank Demon Saint is doing things under your Human Race’s hands, which is a disgrace to our Demon Race’s reputation.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the harmonious atmosphere in the Great Hall was broken, and the expressions on everyone’s faces were all stagnant.

It instantly fell into silence, to the point where a needle could be heard dropping.

All the Nascent Soul old monsters’ complexions were strange, but they didn’t dare to speak.

The reason was that the Black Feathered Demon Cultivator in front of them was the Clan Leader of the Wind-Splitting Eagle Clan, the Black Wind Demon Saint, whose cultivation realm was in the Fourth Rank Mid Stage.

Although his strength was not as good as the Late-Nascent Soul Great Cultivators of the Human Race, he was still slightly better than the ordinary Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

When Human cultivators reached this stage of Late-Nascent Soul, they could be called Great Cultivators in the Human Realm, and their divine abilities were not much different from the Late-Stage Fourth Rank Great Demons.

Therefore, when they cultivated to this stage, whether it was the Demon Race or the Human Race, they all looked at their respective treasures and divine abilities.

After hearing this, the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint didn’t express any opinions.

Because, as the Black Wind Demon Saint said, it was true that their Demon Saint from the Beast Howl Mountains had become the beast pet of a Human Nascent Soul, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.

From the perspective of the Demon Race.

This matter concerned the reputation of the Demon Race, so he couldn’t say much, and even somewhat agreed with the Black Wind Demon Saint’s point of view.

Furthermore, a Fourth-Rank Demon Saint could definitely influence the situation of various parties.

“This is not quite right, is it? Fellow Daoist Black Wind, what are you thinking, how could This Palace not know?”

“If the Heaven Devouring Rat King hadn’t been nurtured by Fellow Daoist Qin with resources, let alone the Fourth-Rank Great Demon he is now, even if he was in the Third Rank Late Stage, he might not have had the opportunity to achieve it.”

“Now that he has achieved the position of Demon Saint, you are going to take away the peaches that Fellow Daoist Qin worked so hard to grow, which is not right, is it?”

Yue Lingyan, who was on the side, said a meaningful sentence.

The Black Wind Demon Saint’s complexion turned livid when he heard this, he didn’t expect Yue Lingyan to disregard his face and speak for Qin Ming, this Human.

‘Daoist Silver Moon, what do you mean?’ He secretly transmitted his voice and questioned the other party.

But before Yue Lingyan could answer.

Qin Ming revealed a harmless smile, and smilingly looked at the Black Wind Demon Saint and said:

“When the Heaven Devouring Rat first joined This Seat, it did indeed sign a Blood Forbidden Divine Contract for two sixty-year cycles.”

“Now that the time limit has long passed, whether he stays or goes is only a matter of his own thought.”

“However, This Seat’s business… it’s not your place, an outsider, to interfere.”

“If Fellow Daoist Black Wind feels that it is a disgrace to your Demon Race’s face, you can completely have a match with This Seat, if you can win, then…”

Qin Ming’s words were extremely strong and overbearing, he didn’t put the Black Wind Demon Saint in his eyes at all.

His own younger brother, the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint, was taken by himself to soak in wine… he would still be afraid of his threats?

Although the other party didn’t necessarily know that this was what he did, but Qin Ming really didn’t have a good impression of the Wind-Splitting Eagle Clan.

Now even the Seven Sorrows Demon Lord of the Bloodbound Realm was not his opponent, so the Black Wind Demon Saint didn’t need to be mentioned.

At worst, a fire would directly teach him how to be a demon!

As Qin Ming’s words fell, not only did the Black Wind Demon Saint’s complexion turn livid, but even the Nascent Soul old monsters of the Human Race were shocked.

They also didn’t expect that Qin Ming would dare to say such words to the Black Wind Demon Saint.

Either he was extremely confident in his own cultivation strength, or he was relying on the many fellow Daoists present, and only then dared to say such harsh words.

After all, the Black Wind Demon Saint was at the Fourth Rank Mid Stage, which was even stronger than the average Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

They didn’t think that Qin Ming could really defeat the Black Wind Demon Saint.

On the seats, Master Cold Crow, in a green robe, seeing the situation on the scene heading in an uncontrollable direction, hurriedly stood up to smooth things over:

“Hehehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Black Wind…”

“Today is a day of great joy, don’t hurt the harmony, okay?”

“Now is the critical moment of the invasion of the Demonic Path, and the cooperation between our Human Race and the Demon Race still needs to continue, don’t you think?”

As Master Cold Crow said this, the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint on the side also nodded, turned his head, and said to the Black Wind Demon Saint:

“Black Wind, let’s stop here for now.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin also said that the Divine Contract between him and the Rat Saint has ended, and then wait for the Rat Saint to come out of secluded cultivation and ask for his opinion.”

The Black Wind Demon Saint was provoked like this, full of anger and unwilling, but he still held back the emotions that were about to erupt, due to the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint’s persuasion.

He just coldly threw a sentence:

“Hmph! This Seat just wants to warn Your Excellency, don’t make a mistake! If you make the Spirit Venerable unhappy, don’t blame This Seat for not reminding you.”

His dark green, bean-like pupils coldly glanced at Qin Ming, and then shut up and didn’t say much.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, had a calm complexion, looking calm and unconcerned.

It couldn’t help but make the Nascent Soul True Lords present even more surprised.

Could it be that this fellow really wasn’t afraid of a Mid-Stage Fourth Rank Demon Cultivator?

Master Cold Crow knew some of Qin Ming’s strength, and couldn’t help but secretly transmit his voice and asked: “Fellow Daoist Qin, isn’t it that you can deal with the Black Wind Demon Saint, that old bird?”

“Isn’t it because you, Fellow Daoist Han Ya, are here? Then we’ll gang up on him together, and we’re afraid we won’t win?” Qin Ming deliberately replied, choking Master Cold Crow so he couldn’t speak.

Qin Ming could also see that, except for Yue Lingyan and Master Cold Crow, the old fellows present.

They all looked like they were watching a good show, and couldn’t wait for himself to fight the Black Wind Demon Saint.

Because the Heaven Devouring Rat’s ascension to the Fourth-Order Transforming Demon Saint had a pretty big impact on the various Cultivation Worlds.

Not to mention, those Nascent Soul great sects had exhausted their top resources and spent hundreds or thousands of years to be able to give birth to a Nascent Soul True Lord.

This still had to be in order, and they had to find disciples with extraordinary cultivation talent and fate.

And everyone present had seen the strength of the Heaven Devouring Rat, and it was fake to say that those various Nascent Soul sects in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World were not a little sour.

From now on, another strong person who could stir up the situation would be added to the apex of the Cultivation World, and “Hesitate to Attack” was inevitable.

If it weren’t for the current descent crisis, it was estimated that Qin Ming had already fought the Black Wind Demon Saint just now.

From now on, with Qin Ming and the Heaven Devouring Rat’s two Nascent Soul level combat strengths, it also meant that the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World was already able to compete with other major cultivation countries for resources, and stand on equal footing.

This was also what they were guarding against.

But what they didn’t know was that Qin Ming was not at all interested in these resource competitions.

As long as he kept farming, he would sooner or later reach a higher realm.

By then, he would grow a Spirit Transformation Venerable, and these old fellows, one by one, would have to obediently offer treasures, and wouldn’t dare to point fingers at him.

After a small episode.

Qin Ming slowly took out an Altar Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid, and said to everyone present:

“Since today is a day of great joy, we should have a drink.”

“Everyone has come from afar, Qin will treat everyone to taste, the Fourth Stage Spirit Wine, ‘Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid’, brewed by This Seat personally.”

“After drinking this wine, it can increase Nascent Soul magical power cultivation.”

Upon hearing Qin Ming’s introduction, all the Nascent Soul old monsters completely forgot about the previous matter.

They all turned their attention to the Spirit Wine in Qin Ming’s hands.

After Qin Ming poured the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid for everyone one by one, they all looked at the Jade Liquid flowing in the wine glasses, and were all shocked speechless.

When it was the Black Wind Demon Saint’s turn, the Spirit Wine in Qin Ming’s wine jar was exactly zero drops left.

So he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: “Oh, it’s really embarrassing, Qin did not control the amount well, and the Spirit Wine is all poured out.”

“I can only ask Fellow Daoist Black Wind to taste other Spirit Wines.”

After saying that, Qin Ming took out a Foundation Establishment wine and poured it for him.

Then, without looking at the other party’s reaction, he left, leaving only the Black Wind Demon Saint with an extremely wonderful expression.

Everyone got the Fourth Stage Spirit Wine like Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid, and they didn’t care about the others, and they quickly raised their wine glasses and tasted it.

“Good wine! Fellow Daoist Qin is really proficient in this way, this wine should only exist in the heavens!”

“Such Immortal Brew, worthy of the name of Jade Liquid, is the most wonderful Spirit Wine this old man has ever drunk in his life.”

“I would call this wine the first in the Human Realm.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, I wonder if you have any extra Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid? This Seat is willing to exchange precious treasures for it.”

“Hehe! That was really the last jar just now, Qin doesn’t have any more.”

After a half day.

After a round of toasting and feasting, everyone successively bid farewell to Qin Ming and left.

Before leaving, Qin Ming called Yue Lingyan alone, and then took out a jar of Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid and stuffed it to the other party.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, this is…” Yue Lingyan’s beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a slight surprise.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, “A few days ago, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lingyan, for helping me to train the Heaven Devouring Rat, otherwise he would not have been able to transform so quickly.”

“It’s considered Qin’s expression of gratitude.”

“If that’s the case, then This Palace will not be polite, to be honest, Fellow Daoist Qin’s Spirit Wine is also very useful to me.” Yue Lingyan put away the Spirit Wine in Qin Ming’s hand.

Then she revealed a stunning smile: “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin.”

“Fellow Daoist Lingyan, you don’t have to be polite.” Qin Ming immediately secretly transmitted his voice and asked: “By the way, the ‘Spirit Venerable’ in the Black Wind Demon Saint’s mouth before, isn’t it?”

Yue Lingyan didn’t expect that he would ask this question, after hesitating for a moment, she still replied: “That’s right, White Lin Spirit Venerable is a senior among our Demon Race, as for his origin, it has been a long time, and his cultivation realm is unfathomable, at least he is a Fifth Rank Venerable.”

“When Fellow Daoist Qin held the Nascent Soul Ceremony before, the Blood Flood Dragon Rice Seed that was given to you was exchanged from the hands of the Spirit Venerable.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, please rest assured, since the Spirit Venerable didn’t come to interfere with this matter today, it means that he doesn’t intend to manage these things, and will not cause you any trouble.”
