Chapter 308: Reward
Qin Ming's harvest from this time slaying Demonic Path Cultivators was quite bountiful.
"It's true that not opening for business for ten years means you eat for ten years once you do."
"Coming out this time, I directly pulled off a big one."
A triple kill in one wave, directly taking off.
On the way back, he took stock of his harvest this time. Just the Blood Pearls of Qi Condensation Demonic Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators numbered in the thousands, and there were even three Core Formation Realm Blood Pearls.
This was enough to make his Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, grow a large step further.
In addition to this.
From Yang Jian, he also obtained a Black Flame Nether Feather Fan, an Upper Third Rank Magic Treasure, and the Dark-Faced Man's black steel fork, which was also a rather remarkable Upper Third Rank Magic Treasure.
"Master, can I use this black steel fork?"
"I just happen to be missing a handy Magic Treasure."
The Devouring Heaven Rat seemed very interested in it and spoke to Qin Ming to ask for it.
Qin Ming was quite surprised to hear this. This item was not of much use to him, so he threw it to it.
Devouring Heaven happily took the black steel fork, brandished it in its hands for a while, and it really looked quite impressive and majestic.
Qin Ming also saw that the Material of this black steel fork seemed somewhat strange. It could withstand his punch without breaking, which was enough to show its toughness.
Moreover, this Devouring Heaven Rat was naturally sensitive to Treasures, and was probably plotting something again.
Then it returned to the Spirit Beast Pouch and began to refine this Magic Treasure.
The blood-colored jade bracelet in the hands of that enchanting Female Cultivator was also an Upper Third Rank Magic Treasure, and the black bone umbrella named Bone-Eating Umbrella, was a Tier 3 Mid Grade Magic Treasure that integrated offense and defense.
However, it was broken open by the Mystical Power of the Mysterious Water Crocodile. After repair, it can still be used.
The most valuable things from the three Core Formation Demonic Cultivators were naturally their Natal Magic Treasures and their respective Golden Cores.
Besides these.
From the Storage Bags of the three, Qin Ming searched out hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones and tens of thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
The rest were Demonic Path Technique Secret Manuals, Pills, Spirit Materials, etc., in quantities too numerous to count.
The Yin Demon Sect, as the Superior Sect of the Six Demonic Path Sects, ranked among the Nascent Soul Sects. The three, as Elder-Level figures, could be described as three Easy Prey without exaggeration.
...
Three days later.
Qin Ming came to Beast King Valley again.
When he arrived here, he saw that the Mountain Range around was a mess, seemingly also having suffered a sneak attack from the Demonic Path.
However, Beast King Valley had Two Golden Core Ancestors guarding it, and its Foundation was far from comparable to the Golden Leader Sect, so blocking the Demonic Path's attack was not a difficult task.
Then.
Two rainbow lights flashed from within the Valley and stopped in front of Qin Ming.
Pei Qing and Lu Xiao personally came out to greet him.
"Hehehe! Congratulations Fellow Daoist Qin on breaking through to the Mid Core Formation Stage, your Cultivation has greatly advanced, and the Immortal Path has taken another step forward."
"Fellow Daoist Qin is truly a person of extraordinary talent in the Core Formation Stage, actually possessing three Demon King-level Beast Pets."
"It truly makes our Beast King Valley feel ashamed! Hahaha!"
The Two Grand Elders had naturally heard about what happened a few days ago.
They also did not expect that Qin Ming had already broken through to the Mid Core Formation Stage, and his Cultivation Strength was even more unfathomable.
Seeing Qin Ming again this time, their attitude had changed slightly, with a bit more awe for the strong.
Since he could kill three Core Formation Demonic Cultivators from the Upper Sect of the Demonic Path, the two of them would naturally not be his Opponents.
Qin Ming just smiled faintly, "It was just a coincidence, just doing it in passing."
After some pleasantries.
The three arrived at Beast King Valley.
Pei Qing and the other prepared a welcoming banquet for Qin Ming, setting out a table of food and drink, and then poured Spirit Wine for him.
"Come, Fellow Daoist Qin, the two of us toast you a cup."
"If it weren't for you this time, the Wu Kingdom would really have fallen into danger."
"My Junior Brother and I, we ask ourselves, we would definitely not be Opponents of those three Demonic Envoys."
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin's action."
Then the three raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Amidst the clinking of cups and passing of goblets, Qin Ming and the two also talked about the Situation within the Cultivation World.
Speaking of this topic.
Pei Qing and Lu Xiao also looked serious.
"The Situation of the Human Clan in the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World is currently, truly precarious!"
"Unexpectedly, the Ghostly Creatures in the Tai Lake Ruins would collude with the Demon Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."
"This is something that no one expected." "The Strength of that Blue-Faced Poisonous Jiao and Golden Toad Ancestor is also simply not something that Cultivators like us can contend with."
"If it weren't for Ancestor Qing Xuan of Profound Stream Valley desperately holding on, I'm afraid the Four Nations would have fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan."
"Alas! It's a pity about Daoist Yu Heng and Daoist Friend Wan..."
Qin Ming nodded gently upon hearing this, then raised his hand and waved, and five bags appeared on the ground.
He then said to the two, "Here are the five hundred Jin of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice that I promised you two when I rented the Small Spirit Realm."
Pei Qing and Lu Xiao couldn't help but be moved upon hearing this. Even as Supreme Elders of a sect, although they were no longer easily moved to show joy.
But when they heard Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, they could hardly conceal their excitement.
After all, this was Spirit Rice that could promote Cultivation in the Core Formation Stage.
Now, in the entire Southern Wastelands Cultivation World, I'm afraid only Qin Ming can grow it.
Pei Qing opened one of the bags, and instantly a stream of emerald light flowed out, and dense Spirit Qi rushed towards them, making people intoxicated.
"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Pei Qing immediately put away the Spirit Rice.
"It's just each getting what they need, Two Daoist Friends don't need to be polite." Qin Ming said with a smile.
Just then, Pei Qing and Lu Xiao exchanged a glance.
Then.
Pei Qing said to Qin Ming with a solemn expression:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, my Junior Brother Lu and I have seriously considered and discussed it."
"We have decided to gift the Small Spirit Realm to Fellow Daoist Qin."
As soon as these words came out, even Qin Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"Daoist Friend Pei, as the saying goes, one should not accept reward without merit, you are..."
Pei Qing shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Qin's righteous action this time, I'm afraid the Wu Kingdom would also have fallen into danger."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't decline. Even if this Small Spirit Realm returns to our hands, at most it would just be one more Tier 3 Cave Residence."
"But in Fellow Daoist Qin's hands, it's different."
"Fellow Daoist Qin can plant Rank 3 Spirit Plants, which can be considered making the best use of its resources."
"It can also be considered the Wu Kingdom expressing its gratitude to Fellow Daoist Qin."
Qin Ming fell into contemplation upon hearing this.
He understood that the Two Grand Elders of Beast King Valley were willing to offer the Small Spirit Realm with both hands, and more importantly, they valued his Strength.
Pei Qing and Lu Xiao had already carefully considered this before Qin Ming arrived.
If there was Qin Ming, this Mid Core Formation Stage Cultivator with overwhelming Strength, staying in the Wu Kingdom, and even having three Demon King-level Spirit Pets under his command.
Then in this way, in the future, when the Wu Kingdom faces a crisis in the Cultivation World, there will be a great help.
They couldn't wish more for Qin Ming to stay in the Wu Kingdom forever.
They used the Small Spirit Realm to completely tie Qin Ming here, in exchange for the safety and stability of the Wu Kingdom, and also to gain favor with Qin Ming, and incidentally draw in the Connections between the two sides.
Multiple benefits in one move, why not do it? The Two Grand Elders' calculations were also very shrewd.
"I am only traveling this time, and will not stay in the Wu Kingdom for long."
"However, in the future, I will occasionally come to the Wu Kingdom."
"Since the Two Grand Elders have this intention, then how about this, I am willing to offer more Resources and Spirit Stones as compensation, to buy the Small Spirit Realm."
"What do Two Daoist Friends think?"
Pei Qing and Lu Xiao did not expect Qin Ming to say this. Obviously, he had also seen through their intentions without explicitly stating it.
So, Pei Qing laughed drily, "Hehe! Spirit Stones and Resources are not necessary."
"This Small Spirit Realm belongs to Fellow Daoist Qin."
"It's considered a Reward for Fellow Daoist Qin."
"No matter when."
"Our Wu Kingdom always welcomes Fellow Daoist Qin to come."
Having said that, he directly took out the original Spirit Contract and destroyed it, and then re-edited a Spirit Contract, including the Valley near Witch Cloud Mountain, and solemnly handed it to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming pondered slightly, and no longer declined, immediately accepting the Spirit Contract.
"Then thank you very much, Two Daoist Friends."
Qin Ming also did not expect that coming to Beast King Valley to deliver Spirit Rice would actually get him an Extreme Grade Tier 3 Cave Heaven.
"It seems that this Small Spirit Realm is destined to be with me."
"I just don't know if there is any way to directly take it away..."
