Chapter 175: Transforming Spirit Island
Sky.
The illusory shadow of the Blood-colored Giant Ape dispersed, revealing a figure of Curly-Bearded Strongman, emitting a terrifying aura.
'Sigh~ This is bad! I've stood out too much.'
'Luckily, I took the Myriad Illusions Pill, nobody knows who I am at all.'
'Of all places, why did Linghu Yang have to hack at me?'
'Honestly, Wei Wuyai really chickened out at the critical moment.'
'Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to intervene.'
For a time, the Scene was silent.
Qin Ming could feel everyone's gazes, all focused on him, and immediately felt somewhat annoyed.
The Cultivators looked at him, each with expressions of awe and fear.
The Cultivation World had always respected strength.
Someone like him, who could easily defeat Linghu Yang, was enough to prove his terrifying Cultivation strength, and it seemed another great upheaval was about to sweep through the Cultivation World.
"Cough!"
Qin Ming raised his hand and coughed lightly.
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, he directly transformed into a streak of blood-colored Escaping Light and instantly disappeared, leaving this place of trouble.
At this point, Qin Ming also had a clearer understanding of his own strength. Within the Foundation Establishment Stage, he should be unmatched.
…
Accompanying the Curly-Bearded Strongman's departure.
Buzz! Above Forbidden Purple Ridge, a burst of noisy discussion erupted.
"Too strong!"
"Who exactly is that Strongman Cultivator?"
"With just one punch, he effortlessly shattered a Spell that even Wei Wuyai didn't dare to receive, and defeated Linghu Yang!"
"He seems to be a Body Refinement Cultivator, such powerful and domineering Body Refinement Technique!"
"How does this old man see him as only Early Foundation Establishment Stage? Could it be that he's hiding his Cultivation?"
"That must be it. You can't see through Body Refinement Cultivation anyway."
"This person is definitely no ordinary man, I fear he can be ranked among the top three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World."
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that we came to see Wei Wuyai and Linghu Yang decide the victor, but Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway! How satisfying!"
"After this battle, this person will probably become famous throughout the world."
In the crowd, the Late Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator who had previously been caught by Qin Ming to ask for directions, his legs trembling non-stop, swallowed hard. "Luckily I was quick-witted, otherwise if that punch had landed on me, I'm afraid not even dregs would be left…"
"It's actually him!"
"Fellow Cultivator Long!!!"
Han Lin of Cloud Fire Pavilion in Square Inch Mountain Market had also come. After all, as Senior Brother Wei Wuyai of Thunder Origin Sect was dueling, he still had to bring people to watch and cheer him on.
But what he never expected was that the person who had just displayed such divine power was Fellow Cultivator Long, who had bought a Formation from him not long ago.
For a moment, his whole person was dumbfounded.
"What? Fellow Cultivator Long?"
"Shopkeeper Han, do you recognize this person?"
"Quickly tell us in detail."
"..."
On the other side, Qin Ming, who had transformed into a Curly-Bearded Strongman, once again rode on the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, flying towards Moon Gazing Island at lightning speed.
After another half day, Qin Ming circled back to the vicinity of Moon Gazing Lake.
He reverted to his original appearance, opened the Mist Illusion Realm, and then flew back to Moon Gazing Island.
The people of the Wu Clan also noticed Qin Ming's return and greeted him one after another.
After Qin Ming landed on the island, he called Wu Jiang over and solemnly told him, "Ah! Fellow Daoist Wu! I went out this time and learned another bad piece of news."
When Wu Jiang heard him say this, a look of unpleasantness appeared on his face.
Because every time Fellow Daoist Qin said this, something major was bound to happen.
Even though Wu Jiang had already made the best preparations in his heart, Qin Ming's next words still made him unable to hold back.
"The Beast Tide is coming! And the scale is unprecedentedly large. Our Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World will definitely be affected."
"For safety's sake, you should still bring the Clan Members on White Rock Island to Moon Gazing Island." Qin Ming finished speaking and patted Wu Jiang's shoulder.
"..."
Wu Jiang had a bitter look on his face, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't even know how many times this was that they had relocated the entire Clan.
White Rock Island had just been rebuilt and repaired after experiencing the flames of war, but unexpectedly, a Beast Calamity was coming again. However, Fellow Daoist Qin's words were basically beyond question, and he could only do as told.
Wu Jiang cupped his fists at Qin Ming. "Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Qin. Then I will quickly inform the Clan Members to go."
Then he paused, hesitatingly saying, "By the way, if the scale of this Beast Calamity is even larger than before, then our Moon Gazing Island… will it be okay?"
"Rest Assured, after learning about the Beast Calamity, I already bought back a Tier-3 Formation."
"With the protection of a Tier-3 Grand Formation, plus the Mist Illusion Realm on the periphery, even if a Tier 3 Demon King comes, they won't be able to break through the Island's defense." Qin Ming's tone was full of confidence, and he said calmly.
Wu Jiang gasped when he heard this, and said in shock, "Tier-3 Grand Formation!"
"That's just too good!"
In addition to shock, he was more filled with rejoicing and delight. It was fortunate that he had latched onto Qin Ming, this Powerful Backer, early on.
Otherwise, their Wu Clan might have been reduced to ashes under the impact of the Beast Tide. After Wu Jiang learned the news, he hurriedly went back to inform the Clan Members.
"Huff~"
After Qin Ming returned to the Island, he strolled around his Spirit Field, checked the Spirit Plant Cultivation, and then released the Silver-Winged Frost Bee back.
His next plan was to continue to Force-Ripening the [Spirit Vein Enhancement] Entry on the Spirit Transformation Monster Herb ahead of time.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the [Time-Space Leaf] Entry anymore. He had to plant some Low-Order Spirit Plant Cultivation again in these two months to brush out a few [Ripening] Entries.
Afterward.
Qin Ming took out the ball of 'Innate Breath Soil'. The moment the mysterious black radiance appeared, even the Life-Bound Spirit Plant Longevity Vine next to it showed a reaction.
Obviously, it felt exceptionally delighted with the Aura of the Innate Breath Soil.
So, he simply buried the Innate Breath Soil beneath the roots of the Longevity Vine.
In an instant, a profound Heaven and Earth Energy emanated from the Breath Soil, spreading and diffusing towards the Spirit Soil of the entire Island.
The nearby Spirit Field and Spirit Soil, even more so, seemed to be nourished by something, growing like bamboo shoots after rain.
Even the Xun Wood Spirit Soil under the two Spirit Transformation Monster Herbs had grown by as much as twice its size, becoming an area of more than two feet.
Although the Spirit Field on the Spirit Island did not grow as fast as the Xun Wood Spirit Soil, under Qin Ming's Divine Sense observation, he discovered that it was also expanding outwards at a weak speed.
He believed that with the accumulation of time, the area of his Moon Gazing Island would become larger and larger.
After doing all this, Qin Ming replanted hundreds of Low-Order Spirit Plant in the Medicine Garden.
Next was refining Pills.
He took out the Blood Bone Pill recipe and the Fiend Blood Pill recipe that he had purchased, and then carefully studied them for several days.
When Qin Ming had studied them thoroughly, he took out the Flesh of the Double Pupil Demon Ape and began to refine Pills.
For Qin Ming's current Dao of Alchemy level, the Difficulty of these two kinds of Spirit Pills was not considered very high.
After experiencing seven or eight days of continuous refining day and night, Qin Ming refined more than ten bottles of Blood Bone Pills and more than twenty bottles of Fiend Blood Pills.
This was still thanks to the vast Quantity of Flesh of the Double Pupil Demon Ape.
Any one of these High-Tier Vital Energy and Blood Pills, placed outside, could cause countless Cultivators to contend for them.
Qin Ming pinched a Fiend Blood Pill that was entirely crimson red, and carefully observed it in front of his eyes for a while. Instantly, a rich Vital Energy and Blood Power emanated from the Pill, stirring Qin Ming's Mental Focus.
"This is the Miraculous Spirit Pill that countless Body Refinement Cultivators dream of, Mid-Second Order Fiend Blood Pill!"
"Then let me taste it and see if it's really as powerful as rumored."
Qin Ming no longer hesitated, and opened his mouth to swallow the Fiend Blood Pill in his hand.
Boom! Suddenly, an extremely pure Medicinal Power dissolved in his body, surging wildly towards his limbs and bones.
Waves of overwhelming Vital Energy and Blood Power continuously washed over Qin Ming's Physical Body.
This power transformed into wisps of Innate Gang Qi, melting into his Qi and Blood True Gang.
This process made his Qi and Blood True Gang even more condensed, continuously advancing towards the condition required for the Third Transformation of True Gang.
Several hours later.
After taking one Fiend Blood Pill and one Blood Bone Pill, the Vital Energy and Blood in Qin Ming's body rose again greatly. According to this rate of Cultivation,
After consuming this batch of pills, he estimated his Qi and Blood True Gang would soon reach the level required for the Third Transformation.
Cultivation finished, Qin Ming exited the Cave Residence.
In a few days, Wu Jiang had already brought the Clan Members from White Rock Island back to Moon Gazing Island, and was then distributing work in an orderly manner.
When Wu Jiang saw Qin Ming come out, he hurriedly said to him, "Fellow Daoist Qin, it really was as you expected!"
"Just the night before yesterday, a Beast Tide broke out in the Beast Roar Mountain Range, and the scale is extraordinary."
"Vast Sea Immortal City and the nearby Immortal Cultivation Power are the first to be impacted."
"Vast Sea Immortal City is still alright, but the other Power are out of luck. Without the protection of a Tier-3 Grand Formation, they were almost razed to the ground. It is said that the death rate is quite high."
Qin Ming revealed an expression of no surprise and nodded.
"It came really fast."
Wu Jiang saw that Qin Ming didn't have much of a reaction, which he was already used to.
He then continued, "According to the latest notification from the Seventy-Two Island Loose Alliance, the first wave of the Beast Calamity will not affect the Lingqi Archipelago for the time being."
"The Loose Cultivator Alliance has jointly organized many Spirit Island Family, and will take Giant Rong Island, Yellow Peak Island, Drum Wave Island, Kun Yuan Island and other Islands as the defense line, intending to unite all forces that can be united, to block the Beast Tide outside the line, and overcome the difficulties together."
Qin Ming also roughly understood that the essence of this Beast Tide was that there were too many types of Demon Beast in the Beast Roar Mountain Range, and their reproductive ability was too strong.
Those newly born High-Tier Demon Beasts drove out some Demon Beast groups from the inside out.
The Beast Roar Mountain Range was vast and boundless.
Therefore, not only the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World, but probably even the other Yuan Kingdom, Liang Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom, the three Cultivation World, would all encounter this strongest Beast Calamity in history.
The Beast groups that were driven out, in order to Acceleration reproduction and obtain survival Resources, would give priority to attacking the gathering places of Cultivators.
After all, the Flesh of ordinary mortals was of no great use to Demon Beast, but Cultivators were different.
The Flesh of Cultivators, nourished by Spiritual Qi, was extremely precious nourishment for these Demon Beast who were driven to desperation, like fireflies in the dark night.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, besides the matter about the Beast Calamity."
"I also got a very explosive piece of news!" Wu Jiang paused here when he said this, and deliberately made a mystery of it.
Qin Ming had a faint smile on his face, and casually asked, "What is it?"
"Cough! I heard that another fierce person has appeared in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World, called 'Daoist Long'. Not long ago, he displayed great power at Forbidden Purple Ridge and easily defeated Linghu Yang, even Wei Wuyai had to retreat."
"Now this person's name has spread throughout the Cultivation World. Wherever you go, people are discussing this topic. It's really endlessly glorious!"
Hearing this, the smile on Qin Ming's face suddenly froze.
"..."
