Chapter 186: A Tempest Brewed by a Single Sentence
Ship Cabin.
Wei Wuyai, seeing Qin Ming's hesitant expression, sighed and then said, "Sigh To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Qin, there's really nothing to hide from you.
"This Soul Returning Pill is needed by our Sect's Grand Elder—Ancestor Ao."
As he said this, a subtle ripple of emotion appeared, and it was not difficult to see that this was also an extremely helpless move.
"Ah?!"
Qin Ming opened his mouth wide, pretending to be completely ignorant.
"Sigh! Speaking of which, the Grand Elder making such a major decision... is also thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin, haha." Wei Wuyai's words were startling, followed by a wry smile.
"???"
Qin Ming was completely dumbfounded by his words.
"If Fellow Daoist Qin hadn't reminded Alliance Leader Li of the Loose Cultivator Alliance that the Tier 3 Demon Vine on Thousand Leaf Island might soon breed a new Demon Seed."
"After Fellow Daoist Qin's words were relayed back to the Sect."
"Several Second-Rank Spirit Plant Grandmasters within our Sect consulted historical records regarding Tier 3 Spirit Plants, and with the corroboration of Information from Alliance Leader Li."
"The final judgment was consistent with what Fellow Daoist Qin said."
"Furthermore, the birth of the Demon Seed is within the next five years."
"If it is not dealt with in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Given the urgency of the situation, Ancestor Ao made this decision."
Qin Ming suddenly understood and said in surprise, "Could it be that Ancestor Ao is preparing to take action to exterminate that Demon Vine?"
"That's right, not only Ancestor Ao, but also Ancestor Yuwen of Spirit Feather Sect and True Person Nalan of Azure Sea Immortal City. The three Golden Core True Persons of Wei Kingdom have reached a consensus."
"They will temporarily put aside Sect differences and join forces to eliminate this huge hidden danger within the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World first."
"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Qin, the reason why our Sect's Ancestor Ao needs to take the Soul Returning Pill is that Grandmaster's Lifespan is already running out. Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, he is prepared to die!"
"Naturally, it would be best to completely exterminate this Demon in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles forever."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a trace of respect for this living Fossil of the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.
And Wei Wuyai was willing to tell him such confidential information, which was enough to show his recognition of him.
Of course, after a period of time, when the great battle begins, this will no longer be a secret.
'Sigh! Other people's Grandmasters are going to risk their lives against Demons.'
'If I refuse, it seems a bit inhumane.'
'Moreover, I can make demands to Thunder Origin Sect at will.'
'Hmm, I can take this opportunity to collect the Spirit Material I lack.'
'More importantly, Wei Wuyai, this Thunder Origin Sect Golden Core Seed, will owe me a considerable Favor.'
'Even the Pill Refinement Material are readily available...'
'Considering everything...'
'It's not impossible to do.'
'However, having just looked at that Pill Recipe, this Pill is only a hair's breadth away from reaching Tier 3.'
'Moreover, there are several key Pill Refining points that even I can't understand, which is indeed a bit challenging.'
'Also, Moon Gazing Island is located within the Range of the Spirit Perching Archipelago, and it is still very close to Thousand Leaf Island. If the Tier 3 Blood Curse Demonic Vine becomes stronger and the Demon Seed runs rampant, I might even have to run away.'
'It would naturally be best if the three True Persons could exterminate this beast in one fell swoop.'
Qin Ming's thoughts raced, and he had already made a decision.
"Cough! Since Daoist Wei trusts Qin so much, then I am willing to try my best."
"Helping Grandmaster Ao refine Pills is an honor for Qin, and it can also be considered as contributing to the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World."
Qin Ming said with a righteous and forceful tone.
Wei Wuyai was overjoyed to see Qin Ming agree so readily, and immediately raised his Tea cup, "Fellow Daoist Qin is truly noble-minded. It is indeed rare for the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World to have a Grandmaster of both virtue and skill like Fellow Daoist Qin. Wei will offer you a cup of Tea in place of wine." "Daoist Wei is too kind."
After the two drank a cup of Tea, Qin Ming wiped his mouth and got straight to the point, "By the way, Daoist Wei, as a Condition for Pill Refinement, I need several Spirit Material, namely Seven-Leaf Nether Ganoderma, Red Jade Crystal Sand, Phoenix Perching Spirit Grass, Cold Marrow Treasure Flower..."
Qin Ming rattled off a list of rare Spirit Material in one breath, to the point that his mouth became dry, and he couldn't help but stop to take a sip of Spirit Tea.
Wei Wuyai was completely stunned.
But Qin Ming's next sentence shocked this Senior Brother of Thunder Origin Sect even more.
"Finally, Qin also needs fifty... no, let's say thirty."
"Thirty High Grade Spirit Stone will suffice."
"Daoist Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Wuyai came back to his senses, his face twitching slightly, and forced a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin, I can agree to the Spirit Material you mentioned earlier."
"However, regarding these High Grade Spirit Stone, please forgive me for not being able to agree to give you so many."
"At most, I can only give you five."
Qin Ming nodded calmly, "Five is fine, Transaction!"
His answer was crisp and decisive, without any hesitation.
Originally, he hadn't expected Wei Wuyai to agree to such excessive Conditions. Five High Grade Spirit Stone was already far beyond his expectations.
Subsequently.
Wei Wuyai handed Qin Ming a bag of Spirit Material needed to refine the Soul Returning Pill.
However, a moment later.
"Daoist Wei, something's not right?"
"Why is there only one portion of Spirit Material for refining the Soul Returning Pill?" Qin Ming took the package, opened it, and asked in confusion.
Wei Wuyai revealed an awkward expression upon hearing this, and explained unnaturally, "Originally, there were more than a dozen portions of Spirit Material, but Elder Yan accidentally failed in refining all of them, so only this last portion is left..."
"Furthermore, if Fellow Daoist Qin cannot refine the Pill with this one portion of Spirit Material, our Sect will not be able to gather any more Spirit Material in a short period of time."
Qin Ming: "..."
'So Elder Yan failed in refining more than a dozen portions of Spirit Material? Not just more than a dozen times...'
'Thunder Origin Sect is at the end of its rope, and only then did they think of me?'
In fact, Wei Wuyai had only recently heard that Second-Order High-Grade Spirit Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill were Auctioned at Mirror Snow Pavilion in Azure Sea Immortal City, and that's when he thought of Qin Ming, who had close cooperation with them.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't feel pressured. Regardless of the Result of this Pill Refinement, Wei owes you a Favor." Wei Wuyai said sincerely.
Only then did Qin Ming put the Spirit Material into his Storage Bag, and then asked, "In that case, Daoist Wei, when do you roughly need this Pill?"
The amount of this one portion of Spirit Material is enough for him to start Pill Refinement more than ten times, so he is not flustered at all.
"Naturally, the sooner the better. Let's set it within a year, what do you think, Fellow Daoist Qin?"
"Mm, can do." Qin Ming pondered for a moment and agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, no matter what the Result of the Refinement is at that time, you can send someone to the Core District of Azure Sea Immortal City to find the 'Exquisite Pavilion' opened by our Thunder Origin Sect and deliver the message." Wei Wuyai said.
Qin Ming nodded, and suddenly remembered something again, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Daoist Wei, please forgive my presumptuousness, if Grandmaster Ao of your Sect takes the Soul Returning Pill, then in the future..."
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin is worried about the future of my Thunder Origin Sect?"
"To be honest, after I go back this time, I will enter Life-or-Death Seclusion to break through to the Golden Core Realm." When Wei Wuyai said these words, he exuded a strong sense of confidence, and his whole person's will seemed to have reached its peak.
Qin Ming said with great envy upon hearing this, "Then I wish Daoist Wei Great Golden Core, Eternal Immortal Path!"
After the two discussed and finalized everything.
Wei Wuyai then left with his people.
Qin Ming watched the Dharma Boat disappearing into the Horizon in the distance with a profound gaze, and pondered:
"It seems I have to... ask Great Pill Master Su to answer my questions again."
