Chapter 272 Golden Core Sect Final Decisive Battle Begins
Qin Ming put away the Golden Core, reached out and with a grab, took Old Devil Yan's Storage Bag into his possession.
Immediately afterwards, he destroyed the shriveled corpse to eliminate all traces.
After doing all this, Qin Ming recalled his Spirit Pet and returned to Moon Gazing Island.
On Moon Gazing Island, the Wu Clan naturally heard the earth-shattering commotion from outside just now.
Seeing Qin Ming return safe and sound, Wu Jiang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He cautiously came before Qin Ming and asked:
"Island Lord, did something happen outside just now?"
"Nothing happened, it's all resolved."
"You don't need to worry, go about your tasks."
Qin Ming said indifferently.
"Ah? Yes!"
Hearing this, Wu Jiang continued to lead everyone back to the Spirit Field to continue farming.
He grumbled inwardly as he walked.
'It was a world-shaking battle, and he calls it nothing happened?'
'Who would believe that?'
But seeing Qin Ming act as if nothing had happened every time, Wu Jiang had become accustomed to it.
…
Qin Ming came to his Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine and replanted the three Wooden Emperor Nails.
After this battle, he was simply full of confidence in the power of this Top-Grade Magic Treasure.
Ordinary Low Grade Magic Treasures, in front of the Wooden Emperor Nail, would basically shatter upon contact.
After adding Solar Essence Gold, it was even more deadly against Demonic Path Ghostly Creatures and the like.
Subsequently, Qin Ming fed Old Devil Yan's Blood Bead to the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine again.
In an instant.
Black vines stretched and danced, this Blood Bead made the Mysterious Vine grow quite a bit more.
More importantly, after the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine absorbed the Aura of Time generated by the Core Formation Realm Blood Bead, in just a short moment, it made the Magic Treasure equivalent to being nurtured in the Dantian for hundreds of years.
It was many times faster than nurturing it in his own Dantian.
Inside the Cave Residence.
Qin Ming took out Old Devil Yan's Storage Bag, used Divine Sense to forcibly erase the Restriction Mark, opened it and began to rummage through it.
Speaking of Old Devil Yan, he was a Demonic Rogue Cultivator who was independent of the Six Demonic Path Sects, with cruel methods and an extremely ruthless nature.
Having dominated the Demonic Path for hundreds of years, he could be considered a significant figure.
Therefore, his Storage Bag was also extremely lucrative, even containing dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stones, tens of thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and countless other Spirit Material resources.
However, most of it was mainly for Cultivation of Demonic Skills.
"How did Old Devil Yan get involved with the Soaring Cloud Sect of Jin Kingdom?"
"There are probably some unknown secrets involved."
"However, these petty squabbles between Sects are none of my business."
"It's just... that Duanmu Sheng, I'll put him in my Little Notebook for now, let him be arrogant for a few more days."
"I've already hidden myself here, detached from worldly affairs, and he actually dares to target me..."
"It's best if he's still alive when I come out of Secluded Cultivation, otherwise I'll flatten his grave."
After pondering for a while.
Qin Ming then called Wu Jiang over again.
"Island Lord, what are your instructions?" Wu Jiang put down his farm work and quickly ran over.
Qin Ming said indifferently, "I will be in Secluded Cultivation for a period of time next, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
"If anyone else comes later, ignore them all, and we'll talk after I come out of Secluded Cultivation."
During this period, he had completely mastered the Core Formation Pill Formula, had some confidence, and was preparing to start Pill Refining.
Therefore, the preliminary preparations naturally need to be done well.
"Yes, Island Lord, Rest Assured." Wu Jiang quickly responded.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming carefully sized up Wu Jiang a few times, making Wu Jiang feel a little uncomfortable all over.
Wu Jiang asked hesitantly, "Island Lord, is there anything else?"
"Well, Wu Jiang, decades have passed in a flash."
"You've been working under me, I didn't expect it to be such a long time." Qin Ming smiled slightly.
Wu Jiang was slightly taken aback, scratching his head and saying, "It really has passed quickly, hehe."
Seeing his appearance, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh, as if he saw the young man who had ventured out in his early days.
"I see that your Magical Power is quite stable, and you have reached Qi Condensation Perfection."
"For the sake of so many years, I have a Foundation Establishment Pill here, which I can Sale to you for eighty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
Buzz~ Hearing these words, Wu Jiang's mind went blank, and he stammered, "Is... Island Lord Qin, is what you are saying true?"
Qin Ming couldn't help but find his appearance a little amusing, and then nodded.
A surge of excitement welled up in Wu Jiang's heart. Over the years, the Wu Clan had been diligently farming on the Spirit Island and naturally had some savings.
Wu Jiang could still take out these eighty thousand Spirit Stones.
The Foundation Establishment Pill, as a Strategic Resource monopolized by Great Sects, even if you have Spirit Stones outside, you may not necessarily be able to buy it.
Even if you buy it, you may not necessarily have the life to enjoy it.
Originally, Wu Jiang thought that his Path of Cultivation in this life would stop here, and he had placed all his hopes on his two children.
Unexpectedly, today he was ignited with hope again!
Subsequently, Wu Jiang hurriedly took out the full amount of Spirit Stones and handed them to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming put away the Spirit Stones and handed him a delicate Jade Bottle.
Wu Jiang tremblingly took the Jade Bottle, opened it, and saw a deep blue Spirit Pill lying quietly inside, its entire body emitting an astonishing Pill Halo.
On the surface of the Spirit Pill, five Pill Veins were clearly visible.
"High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill!"
"Thank you very much, Island Lord..."
A wave of emotion welled up in Wu Jiang's heart. These many years following Qin Ming had not been in vain. A High-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill was definitely worth far more than this price.
He also didn't expect Island Lord Qin to actually give him a High-Grade Level one. "Alright, consolidate your Cultivation for a while, and strive to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. "You are not young anymore, and Foundation Establishment at an advanced age has somewhat high requirements for a Cultivator's Vital Energy and Blood."
"However, over the years, you have insisted on farming every day, and your Physical Body has been quite well-trained, hehe!"
"Although you are a bit older, it should not be a problem."
"There are examples in history of Cultivators who achieved Foundation Establishment in their seventies."
"As for how to use this Foundation Establishment Pill, decide for yourself."
Qin Ming said indifferently, and then gave Wu Jiang some guidance, explaining the things to pay attention to during Foundation Establishment.
Wu Jiang thanked him profusely and bowed deeply to Qin Ming.
Instructions finished.
Qin Ming then dismissed him.
"Next, I will also begin Pill Refinement of the Core Formation Pill!"
Qin Ming's eyes were sharp, and his every move was full of strong confidence.
In an instant.
Countless Tier Three Spirit Materials flew out from the Storage Bag, floating in the Air around Qin Ming.
Among them, the ice-blue Returning Nether True Yin Flower and the crimson-gold Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus were the most eye-catching.
Qin Ming had kept Spirit Seeds of these High-Tier Spirit Materials. If they are needed in the future, he can continue to plant them.
Qin Ming took out the Mystic Jade Furnace, opened his mouth and spat, and Tier 3 Devouring Spirit Poison Flame transformed into a cyan-blue Fire Bird and flew out.
With all preparations ready, Qin Ming began to Pill Refine according to the steps on the Core Formation Pill Formula with practiced ease.
…
Half a year passed.
Inside the Cave Residence.
Qin Ming reached out and summoned, taking out a lump of black Medicine Dregs from the bottom of the Alchemy Furnace, gently kneading it open with his fingers and observing it for a while.
Inside, a small, semi-finished crimson-gold Pill was revealed.
"The third failure."
"However, this time I'm another big step closer to success."
"The Difficulty of Pill Refinement of this Core Formation Pill is truly extremely high."
He had been in Secluded Cultivation for more than half a year and planned to go out to get some fresh air and change his mood, maybe he would succeed next time.
Qin Ming walked outside the Cave Residence, but saw the Devouring Heaven Rat running over with a smile, saying to him, "Master, during your Secluded Cultivation, that little vixen from Mirror Snow Pavilion has come to look for you several times."
"Seeing that you were in Secluded Cultivation, she didn't come to disturb you."
Qin Ming was quite surprised, "What does Gu Qingzhao want from me?"
"It's not another Demon Fiend in disguise, is it?"
"Hehe! It's really her, I asked Wu Jiang to write down the message she wanted to convey in a letter."
"Here, it's all inside." After saying this, the Devouring Heaven Rat handed Qin Ming a Jade Message Slip.
After Qin Ming took the Jade Message Slip and browsed through the contents, his brows furrowed into a frown.
Seeing Qin Ming reveal a rare solemn expression, the Devouring Heaven Rat couldn't help but ask, "Master, has something happened?"
"Well, the Situation has become chaotic again recently."
"The Final Decisive Battle between Spirit Feather Sect and Thunder Origin Sect will be during this period."
"The Sky of Wei Kingdom... is probably going to change."
Qin Ming learned from the Information provided by Gu Qingzhao that Spirit Feather Sect and Thunder Origin Sect have secretly begun to mobilize large numbers of people and frequently make arrangements in the past half year.
It's likely that they are both preparing for the final battle for survival.
Qin Ming had guessed a thing or two from Yuwen Hong's tone when he last met him, and had long predicted that a great Battle was approaching, but he did not expect this day to come so quickly.
The reason why Gu Qingzhao was anxious to see Qin Ming was because of the Spirit Dwelling Islands. Although this Territory has limited Resources and is not a strategic location.
However, in recent years, due to the impact of the Ghost Plague in Liang Kingdom, Wei Kingdom has also been affected, and many important regional routes have been cut off by Ghostly Creatures.
The Spirit Dwelling Islands have instead become a necessary passage for the Battle between the two Sects, and may be affected by the war.
For a time, this place was pushed to the forefront again.
Between the lines, Qin Ming could also see that Gu Qingzhao was extremely worried about his safety.
"Alas, the Cultivation World is full of Stormy Changes and unpredictable indeed..."
Qin Ming immediately wrote a Handwritten Letter, called Wu Jiang over, and asked him to deliver the reply to Gu Qingzhao.
…
Time passed, and two more months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day.
In the Sky Above Moon Gazing Lake, a large patch of dark shadow suddenly appeared.
Qin Ming, who was engaged in Pill Refinement Inside the Grotto, naturally sensed the situation outside. He immediately released his Divine Sense and investigated the situation in the Sky.
He saw Magical Warships covering the Sky and Earth, rapidly passing through the Spirit Dwelling Islands, and advancing in force towards the direction of Thunder Origin Sect.
The Might of the massive Cultivator army was terrifying, surpassing any Cultivator expedition Qin Ming had ever seen.
On the Mast, the Symbol of Spirit Feather Sect was uniformly hung.
Behind them were many Powers, large and small, following Spirit Feather Sect.
Such a scale caused Heaven and Earth to change color.
On the leading thousand-zhang giant ship of Spirit Feather Sect, stood a person with an Immortal Aura, who was none other than Yuwen Hong, the Golden Core Ancestor of Spirit Feather Sect.
When he passed by, he stood at the bow of the ship and gazed deeply in the direction of Moon Gazing Island from afar.
The Cultivator army of Spirit Feather Sect, which had come out in full force, took two full days to completely pass over the Spirit Dwelling Islands.
"Unexpectedly, Spirit Feather Sect actually made the first move."
"It seems Yuwen Hong has some Reliance for this Battle."
Qin Ming gazed at the Sky that had returned to clear weather, lost in thought.
…
As days passed, Information about the Battle between the two Golden Core Sect Sects gradually returned to Moon Gazing Island.
But at such a crucial moment, Qin Ming turned a deaf ear to outside affairs and devoted himself entirely to Pill Refinement.
