After the Spirit Field incident occurred.
The Spirit Feather Sect dispatched a large number of Law Enforcement Disciples to investigate this matter.
After all, the death of a Foundation Establishment Stage Elder was a major event for the Sect, and it even affected the internal workings of the Sect.
Even Qin Ming was summoned to the Law Enforcement Hall and questioned repeatedly.
Of course, like the other Spirit Plant Masters, he claimed ignorance to all questions.
In this special moment.
Even the slightest disturbance could provoke the Spirit Feather Sect, after all, what they were plotting was no small matter.
The Spirit Feather Sect not only strengthened the security of Green Sun Market.
They also increased manpower to patrol the Spirit Field in shifts.
Qin Ming could see large groups of people on standby almost every day.
He was also tense for a while.
Deeply afraid that Lin Zixiao would come back to make trouble for him again.
However, more than a month passed without any movement.
Qin Ming's days returned to peace.
Half a year passed.
An eerie atmosphere permeated Qingyang Market City.
Cultivators from different Powers could be seen everywhere, but the tense atmosphere of the past was gone.
Qin Ming arrived at the Seventh Floor of the Gathering Pavilion.
"Long time no see, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qin's Cultivation to have already Breakthrough to the Late Qi Condensation Stage, congratulations!" Gu Qingzhao smiled faintly and poured him a cup of tea.
Qin Ming picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said humbly, "My Cultivation is nothing compared to Daoist Friend Gu."
"Any new developments recently?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhao pondered for a moment, her expression unprecedentedly solemn, "According to the intelligence we possess, I'm afraid that compared to the Tier 3 Spirit Vein, the struggle for that Ancient Ruins is the real main event."
"There are already various signs indicating that this Ancient Ruins is a place of Inheritance left behind by an ancient Great Expert."
"Whoever opens the Ruins and obtains the Inheritance inside."
"Their future achievements will be unimaginable."
"I estimate... the Thunder Origin Sect will also be unable to hold back soon."
Qin Ming frowned, puzzled, "Given the current situation, the Thunder Origin Sect hasn't sent anyone over yet?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin is unaware, the reason why all Sect Powers are holding back is because the Keys to open the Ruins are missing the last few."
"If the Keys cannot be gathered, no one can enter the Ruins."
"Therefore, the current situation is one of undercurrents, although on the surface, all parties are at peace, in fact, they are all trying their best to secretly find the whereabouts of those few Keys."
Those so-called Keys were naturally Dragon-Shaped Tokens.
Qin Ming also nodded secretly, fearing that the time when those Dragon-Shaped Tokens were gathered would be the day when all Powers tore off their masks.
He knew the specific location of one of the Tokens.
But after the last incident with Lin Zixiao, Qin Ming had already noticed that these Dragon-Shaped Tokens seemed to be able to sense each other.
He wondered if Daoist Friend Feng's Token was picked up by someone after his death? Besides that.
The Spirit Feather Sect secretly making a move, and a Heaven Spirit Root Perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivator secretly achieving Core Formation Stage, seemed to be unknown even to Gu Qingzhao.
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin is also interested in the Inheritance within the Ruins?" Gu Qingzhao smiled faintly, a rare occurrence, and asked Qin Ming.
Qin Ming waved his hand upon hearing this, "My Cultivation Level is shallow, I dare not covet such a Fated Chance."
"Hehe, then what Trade does Fellow Daoist Qin need this time?" Gu Qingzhao asked.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming unhurriedly took out three Jade Bottles of Pills from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table.
Gu Qingzhao stretched out her soft hand and gently opened one of the Jade Bottles, and immediately a strange Pill Fragrance wafted out.
"It's actually Essence Nurturing Pill!" Deep surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she asked, "Could it be... Fellow Daoist Qin has Breakthrough to become a High-Grade Pill Refiner?"
Qin Ming nodded, noncommittal.
Gu Qingzhao's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of brightness, she quickly poured Spirit Tea for Qin Ming again, and congratulated him, "Then I must congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin again, congratulations!"
Qin Ming showed a little Strength this time, also to demonstrate his own value.
Only in this way could he obtain more information and intelligence from Gu Qingzhao in the future.
Gu Qingzhao's reaction was also as he expected, and she once again extended an olive branch to him.
After the Trade ended.
Qin Ming returned to his Courtyard.
…
Several months passed.
Qin Ming harvested five [Ripening] Entries from the Spirit Herb Field in his Courtyard again.
He immediately Force-Ripening all five Second-Rank Divine Essence Fruit trees, and continuously consumed two [Quality Enhancement] Entries to upgrade the final ripe fruits to the Supreme Quality level.
This time, Qin Ming harvested a total of eighteen Supreme Quality Divine Essence Fruits, and five [Soul Force Crystal] Entries.
It should be known that these are the fruits of Second Tier Spirit Plants. If placed outside, they would attract countless Cultivators to fight for them.
Qin Ming held the Divine Essence Fruits, which were the size of chicken eggs, in his hands, and couldn't help but feel delighted.
He quickly sealed them in a special Jade Box to ensure that the Spiritual Nature of the fruits would not be lost.
"Thinking about it, so much time has passed."
"With Su Yuqing's Aptitude, he should have Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage by now, right?"
"Perhaps, he has already advanced to become a Second Tier Pill Refinement Grandmaster."
Qin Ming sighed with emotion for a while.
He entered the Cultivation Room.
Qin Ming prepared to use five [Soul Force Crystal] to strengthen his Divine Soul again.
He sat cross-legged quietly on the Cushion.
But when he thought of the excruciating tearing sensation every time he strengthened his Divine Soul.
He couldn't help but shudder.
But in order to improve his Strength, Qin Ming also gritted his teeth.
"I'll risk it!"
Qin Ming calmed his mind, and his thoughts focused on the [Soul Force Crystal] Entry.
Buzz~ A terrifying Power suddenly exploded within his Sea of Consciousness.
It was as if a huge light rose in the darkness, this light constantly changed and grew, instantly turning into broad daylight.
Then, it completely occupied Qin Ming's entire Sea of Consciousness.
Crack! A brand new Power was born in his Sea of Consciousness.
Divine Sense Power!
This was the Power that could only be mastered when Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage.
Originally, Qin Ming's Divine Soul had already been amplified to a terrifying degree.
Now, the last barrier was also pierced by him like window paper.
After a burst of intense pain.
Qin Ming's mind returned to clarity.
He moved his mind slightly, and a strange Power detached from his body.
Extremely clearly, it enveloped a range of dozens of yards.
Not only could he see far away macroscopically, but he could also examine dust particles in detail.
Every move within these dozens of yards was within his control.
"Is this Divine Sense Power?"
Qin Ming was excited, he tried to use Divine Sense to move a table not far away, but it only moved a little.
He felt a little strenuous.
He then aimed at a book on the table, and found that the book was easily lifted into Mid-Air by him.
It kept moving and flying in the air.
"This feeling of controlling objects with Divine Sense is really wonderful."
After half an incense stick of time.
Suddenly.
Qin Ming's eyes went dark, and his face turned pale.
The book in Mid-Air fell to the ground with a "thud".
Qin Ming panted heavily, "It seems that Divine Sense Power cannot be overused either."
His current Divine Sense intensity is already similar to that of an ordinary Cultivator who has just stepped into the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
When Divine Sense is fully spread out, it can roughly cover a range of sixty yards.
Once one possesses Divine Sense, it brings great convenience whether in daily Cultivation or in Combat Method with others.
Next, Qin Ming took a deep breath.
Spent a few days.
He also consumed all the remaining four [Soul Force Crystal] Entries.
His Divine Soul was strengthened again.
Divine Sense intensity was also improved to be comparable to a Peak Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and when fully deployed, it could already cover hundreds of yards.
Just as Qin Ming finished Cultivation and was preparing to exit seclusion.
He received a Message Talisman from Gu Qingzhao.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the situation has changed!"
"The latest intelligence shows that all Powers have now gathered most of the Keys."
"Now there is only the last Key missing."
