Chapter 217 Time Poison
"It's actually Time Poison!"
Qin Ming learned about this Mystical Power Poison Sting through Divine Sense from the Silver-Winged Frost Bee.
This Time Poison Sting could ignore any defensive measures. Any living creature struck by the Poisonous Stinger would exhaust their remaining Lifespan within a few breaths and rapidly age to death.
However, this Mystical Power was also quite a burden for the Silver-Winged Frost Bee.
Because each time it used this Poisonous Stinger Mystical Power, it needed to burn its own Lifespan as the price. Within the same Realm, burning one year of the Silver-Winged Frost Bee's Lifespan could exchange for ten years of the opponent's Lifespan, a ratio of one to ten.
If crossing a Major Realm, it would be reversed, with a Lifespan exchange ratio of ten to one.
This meant that if facing a Golden Core Ancestor or Tier 3 Demon King, the Silver-Winged Frost Bee would need to consume ten years of its own Lifespan to exchange for just one year of the opponent's Lifespan.
It could be said to be a self-detonation style attack. "If the Silver-Winged Frost Bee consumes one year of Lifespan, it can shave off ten years of the opponent's Lifespan. If it encounters some old, undying Golden Cores with little Lifespan left, it might be surprisingly effective."
"It seems this Mystical Power is incredibly powerful, but it can't be used often. It can only be used as a Trump Card, a last resort. It can't be used lightly unless absolutely necessary."
As a Late Tier 2 Demon Beast, the Silver-Winged Frost Bee had a much longer Lifespan than Human Clan Cultivators, possessing a full six hundred years of Lifespan, so it could still use it a few times.
"I wonder if the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine has a way to help the Silver-Winged Frost Bee replenish its lost Lifespan."
"Sigh, if only this Mystical Power was given to me, I currently have over eight hundred years of Lifespan, and I can keep refreshing Lifespan Entries, I can't use it up at all."
"Too bad."
At this moment, three Spirit Pets surrounded Qin Ming.
'Two Late Tier 2 Great Demons, one Mid Second Order, a Demon King whose strength is waiting to recover.'
'Two Mid-Second Order turtle Spirit Puppets.'
'Plus my own Strength.'
'Pulling out a lineup like this already far surpasses some Major Powers.'
'Below Golden Core, I can truly say I am 'invincible'.'
'The limelight outside should not be so intense anymore, it's time to go out for a trip.'
'The Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach has been Ripening by me again, it's about time to send it to Mirror Snow Pavilion.'
'And also purchase a batch of Spirit Materials for Pill Refining.'
To be safe, Qin Ming brought all three Spirit Beasts with him this time.
Afterward, Qin Ming put the Mysterious Water Crocodile and Devouring Heaven Rat into the Spirit Beast Pouch and rode on the Silver-Winged Frost Bee.
But just as he was about to have the Silver-Winged Frost Bee depart, he heard the Devouring Heaven Rat's cursing from inside the Spirit Beast Pouch:
"Damn it, you big dumb ox, move your ass over a bit."
"This is too damn crowded."
"Ew~ what did you eat this morning? Your mouth stinks!"
Qin Ming's mouth twitched as he listened to the commotion inside.
He thought about it, this Spirit Beast Pouch had been used for a long time, bought in his early years, and was quite cheap. It seemed it was time to get them a larger space.
Afterward, he explained to Wu Jiang and rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee out of Moon Gazing Island.
Along the way, Qin Ming observed the changes in the outside world.
Various Monster Hunting Cultivators and Demonic Beast groups were gradually increasing.
Fortunately, since the Spirit Habitat Archipelago was jointly cleared of Demonic Beasts by the Three Great Powers, the Demonic Beasts coming here had suddenly decreased a lot.
The area with the most Demonic Beasts was still around Vast Sea Immortal City, with large Demonic Beast groups constantly watching covetously.
An hour later.
Qin Ming arrived outside the City Gate of Vast Sea Immortal City.
He was lucky, there were no Demonic Beasts attacking the Immortal City today, but the City Wall was still full of defending Cultivators, waiting in full battle array.
Qin Ming put away the Silver-Winged Frost Bee in Mid-Air, concealed his Magical Power Aura, hiding it to the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, and then landed.
He did not disguise himself for his business in Vast Sea Immortal City, directly using his original appearance. The Cultivators stationed at the City Entrance recognized Qin Ming at a glance.
After he presented the Vast Sea Token, they respectfully opened the Formation and let him pass.
After entering the Outer City, Qin Ming could clearly feel that compared to two years ago, there were a lot more Cultivators in the Immortal City.
In addition to Rogue Cultivators from various places, there were even many Sect Cultivators from the other Four Nations.
Wearing Sect robes of various colors, shuttling through the crowded Street.
'It seems that after my message was sent out, it aroused the Take Seriously of the Upper Levels of the Cultivation World, and Cultivators were sent to support.' 'After all, Vast Sea Immortal City, as the number one Cultivator Sanctuary, is located at the junction of the Four Nations, its geographical Position is extremely important.'
'Once this natural strategic pass is Breakthrough by Demonic Beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.'
Qin Ming just stood in the Outer City and sensed it slightly, and could feel that there were several unfamiliar Core Formation Grandmaster Auras on top of Vast Ocean Peak in the center.
It seemed they were Core Formation Grandmasters who had come to support from the other Three Nations.
Qin Ming also went to the Feng Family in the Inner City to take a look, and there was nothing major. The Spirit Talisman Shop was still operating prosperously.
Feng Sihai's Cultivation had also improved a lot, only one step away from reaching the Perfected Qi Condensation Stage.
Core Area.
Lü Wan Jun was also transferred to Logistics, only needing to do some simple Cultivator dispatching and message delivery.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming walked along the Main Street, passed through a few Alleys, and arrived at the Entrance of Mirror Snow Pavilion, directly stepping inside.
"Yo! Fellow Daoist Qin is here!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here?"
"Why didn't you give us a heads up beforehand?"
In the Restaurant on the first floor, Huangfu Qi and Gu Qingzhao happened to be there.
When they saw Qin Ming come in, they got up to greet him.
"Haha, I haven't been to the Immortal City for a long time, just came out for a stroll." Qin Ming put on a smile and greeted the two.
Then, at Gu Qingzhao's invitation, the three of them walked up to the Private Room upstairs.
Two years was just a blink of an eye for Cultivators. Gu Qingzhao showed a rare look of joy when she saw Qin Ming again.
Because she knew that Fellow Daoist Qin belonged to the type of Hard Cultivator who immersed himself in his Spirit Field, and generally wouldn't come out unless there was something special.
It seemed he had good goods to sell again.
Last time, Qin Ming was mistakenly Teleportation by the Teleportation Array in the Core Area to the Beast Roar Mountain Range.
Gu Qingzhao and others were also very worried. After Qin Ming came back, he also had Wu Jiang report that he was safe.
He only lied that he was Teleportation to the edge of the Beast Roar Mountain Range and did not explain too much.
…
Room Interior.
The lingering fragrance of Spirit Tea and Sandalwood incense swirled around.
The few people first discussed the recent Situation.
"Daoist Friend Gu, since the Beast Tide Situation is getting more and more severe, why are you still staying in the Immortal City and not evacuating earlier?" Qin Ming asked in confusion.
Gu Qingzhao replied upon hearing this, "The current Situation is no longer up to us to decide."
"I have also revealed to Fellow Daoist Qin before that the one behind the scenes launching this Beast Tide is very likely to be the Late Stage of Rank Three Great Demon King of the Beast Roar Mountain Range."
"Not to mention other places, even in the entire Southern Wastelands Cultivation World, there may not be a safe place."
"Our Major Powers naturally have to contribute to resisting the Beast Tide. We can no longer stay out of it like the previous few times."
Qin Ming suddenly understood upon hearing this, so even Mirror Snow Pavilion was drafted.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming took out the Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach, a full twenty-plus of them. After handing these Spirit Peaches to Gu Qingzhao, he said, "This is the Spirit Peach I promised Daoist Friend Gu to plant before. Now the first batch of Spirit Peaches has matured, so I will hand them over to Daoist Friend Gu."
"My Trade with Daoist Friend Gu can also be considered complete. From now on, the Spirit Peach Tree will belong to This Qin, haha!"
Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qi looked at the Spirit Qi-rich Spirit Peaches, revealing expressions of shock.
Huangfu Qi's throat bobbed, and he barely moved his gaze away from the Spirit Peaches, then asked Qin Ming:
"Is this the Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach that is rumored to increase a Cultivator's Cultivation after eating, and also has Longevity effects?"
Qin Ming smiled indifferently, "Precisely, if Fellow Daoist Huangfu doesn't believe it, you can try one."
