Chapter 147: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
This Spirit Transformation Monster Herb is really good stuff.
His two Demonic Beasts can definitely use it.
Qin Ming naturally wouldn't miss it, but he couldn't agree too easily.
Otherwise, it would seem a bit too much like showing off.
So, he said with a troubled expression, "Reporting to you, Senior, although I know a little about this Spirit Plant, this is also my first time seeing it."
"I'm afraid..."
"In Vast Sea Immortal City, if even Fellow Daoist Qin can't plant it, then no one else can." Nalan Xi said without a doubt, "I believe in Fellow Daoist Qin's Spirit Herb Art, you can just try it boldly."
"Even if the planting fails, I won't blame you, it should be Heaven's will."
"If Fellow Daoist Qin succeeds in planting it, you can also advance to Tier 3 Spirit Herb Master, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
True Person Cang Hai had already said this much, it would be unreasonable for Qin Ming to refuse.
So he cupped his fists and said, "In that case, then I will try my best."
Nalan Xi smiled faintly upon hearing this, closed the long jade box in her hand, and drove the jade box to fly towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming gently took the jade box and put it into his Storage Bag.
Just as he was about to say something, a person walked in hurriedly from outside the Great Hall.
Qin Ming took a look, and it turned out to be the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Elder who had brought him in earlier.
The Elder seemed to have an Important Matter to report to True Person Cang Hai, but seeing that Qin Ming was still there, he couldn't help but look at True Person Cang Hai at the head.
"It's okay, just speak."
True Person Cang Hai said faintly.
"Yes!" The middle-aged Elder nodded upon hearing this, and then continued, "Reporting to City Lord, in the western region of Beast Roar Mountain Range near Immortal City, some small groups of Demonic Beasts have appeared, and there seems to be some unusual movement..."
Qin Ming frowned slightly imperceptibly upon hearing this.
But Nalan Xi seemed to have expected this, and faintly instructed, "Order the Scout Camp to continue to pay close attention, and report any news to me as soon as possible."
"If there are Demonic Beasts crossing the border, kill them on the spot."
"Yes!"
Qin Ming saw that Nalan Xi and the middle-aged Elder seemed to have other Important Matters to discuss, and then said, "Senior still has matters to deal with, then I will take my leave first."
"Well, today is indeed a bit rushed, and I haven't been able to take good care of you. Fellow Daoist Qin can often come to Vast Ocean Peak to sit, I won't see you off." Nalan Xi nodded.
"Once there is any progress on Fellow Daoist Qin's side, you can send someone to notify me."
"Senior, Rest Assured!"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged Elder, unexpectedly Qin Ming and the City Lord had obviously reached some kind of Agreement.
To be valued so much by a Golden Core True Person, it seems that in the future he should be more friendly to Fellow Daoist Qin.
Afterwards, Qin Ming bowed to Nalan Xi, and then withdrew from the Great Hall.
Breathing the air outside, he had a feeling of being relieved from a heavy burden.
Facing a Golden Core True Person, he had to be cautious everywhere, and even answering a sentence was like walking on thin ice.
Qin Ming once again felt the Upper Third Rank Spirit Vein environment of Vast Ocean Peak, and then left here.
Half an hour later.
Qin Ming returned to the Inner City and walked towards Mirror Snow Pavilion.
Along the way, he heard various rumors about himself.
Especially the news from the Spirit Planter Guild spread like wildfire just now.
After everyone learned that the Phenomenon in Azure Sea Immortal City today was caused by Qin Ming, the topic of discussion about him in the streets and alleys was directly maxed out.
Qin Ming shook his head as he listened to these discussions, and quickened his pace to reach Mirror Snow Pavilion.
But just as he arrived near Mirror Snow Pavilion, he found that not only Gu Qingzhao and Shopkeeper Liao came out to greet him, but also Huangfu Qi and his Dao Companion Chen Qiaoling, as well as several young Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Mirror Snow Pavilion followed behind.
Qin Ming had also seen them when Gu Qingzhao held the Foundation Establishment Minor Celebration.
Qin Ming looked at such a grand scene and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin on advancing to Second-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master, making a name for yourself in Azure Sea Immortal City, and taking another step forward on the Immortal Path." Gu Qingzhao rarely showed a smile and congratulated Qin Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Honored Guest Qin, congratulations on advancing to Second-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master."
...
"Hahaha! After many years, Fellow Daoist Qin has actually become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like us."
"And I heard that in the Way of Spirit Plants, you are almost without Opponent in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World."
"I knew from the beginning that Fellow Daoist Qin was extraordinary." Huangfu Qi was still dressed as a gentle scholar, and greeted Qin Ming with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, no matter what, you must stay in the Pavilion for a few more days this time, I want to have a good discussion with you about the Way of Spirit Plants." Chen Qiaoling said to him with a smile.
When Qin Ming left Spirit Feather Sect, it was thanks to Chen Qiaoling's help.
"Definitely next time, definitely next time." Qin Ming agreed.
Qin Ming secretly sized up Huangfu Qi a few times, and found that the Spiritual Power Fluctuation on the other party's body had actually advanced to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
You must know that when he was at the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, his Strength was already rarely matched in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.
Now that he has Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he should be even more invincible.
His Divine Sword Lightning Guiding Technique is still vivid in Qin Ming's mind.
Its terrifying power, even Lin Zixiao couldn't withstand it, if he didn't have a Misfortune Transference Technique, he probably wouldn't be the Demonic Path Overlord he is now.
Qin Ming also learned from Gu Qingzhao that Huangfu Qi mainly cultivates Thunder Technique, supplemented by Ancient Sword Formation, and that Thunder Technique is also a Bloodline Inherited Art from Huangfu's ancestors, which others simply cannot learn.
...
Afterwards, Qin Ming entered the Pavilion under the crowd's support.
Gu Qingzhao had already arranged a large table of wine and dishes to welcome him and wash away the dust.
At the dinner table, everyone chatted about their various experiences during this period.
The other young Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Mirror Snow Pavilion also respected Qin Ming very much and took turns to come over to toast.
Now his status, although only nominally an Honorary Guest Elder, but the actual influence is far more than that.
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard that you have Spirit Rest Rice here, I have long admired its great name, I wonder if you can sell some to me?" Huangfu Qi toasted Qin Ming a glass of wine, rubbed his hands and said expectantly.
Qin Ming smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Of course, even if I don't sell to others, I will still sell to Fellow Daoist Huangfu."
After drinking and eating their fill.
The others from Mirror Snow Pavilion left first.
In the Private Room, only Gu Qingzhao, Shopkeeper Liao, and Huangfu Qi and his wife remained.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard... True Person Cang Hai personally summoned you?" Gu Qingzhao hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
She was naturally worried that such a closely cooperating Spirit Plant Grandmaster and Pill Refining Grandmaster would be poached by others.
Qin Ming nodded and did not hide it: "That's right, Senior Nalan does have the intention to let me join Immortal City, but I didn't agree."
"Daoist Friend Gu also knows that I like to be quiet and free, and don't like restraint."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how is the recent Situation?" Qin Ming asked again.
"Alas, this time I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal." Huangfu Qi said first before Gu Qingzhao could speak.
"With the collapse of the Zhao Family of Spirit Dwelling Islands, the conflict between Spirit Feather Sect and Thunder Origin Sect is bound to escalate, and the final moment to determine the winner is coming."
"I just don't know where the main battlefield will be."
"But what is certain is that the decisive battle between the two Sect's Golden Core Ancestors will directly determine the victory or defeat of this war."
"No matter who wins or loses in other smaller battlefields, they are just minor skirmishes and are irrelevant."
Qin Ming also pondered upon hearing this.
"What about Spirit Dwelling Islands?"
He was still more concerned about the safety of his Base nearby.
"The Result of Thousand Leaf Spirit Island has come out, Thunder Origin Sect has newly supported a Foundation Establishment Clan to prepare to take over."
"The Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance has given up the Ownership of Spirit Island in exchange for some Resources and other Conditions on the island."
"In a short period of time, Spirit Dwelling Islands will still return to calm, and Fellow Daoist Qin's Moon Gazing Island should be fine." Gu Qingzhao said.
Qin Ming felt a lot relieved when he heard them say this.
"By the way, I just came out of Vast Ocean Peak, and heard that Demonic Beasts are showing unusual movement in the nearby Mountain Range."
"You are in Azure Sea Immortal City all year round, although there will be no danger."
"But you should also pay attention at all times."
"If Demonic Beasts like the Heavy Pupil Demon Ape appear again, it will also be extremely dangerous."
Qin Ming suddenly remembered this and reminded Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qi.
Thanks to Fellow Daoist "Drunk Rain Lilac" for the 100 coin reward.
