Chapter 315 Proposal
As soon as Qin Ming approached Vast Sea Immortal City, he sensed several familiar Golden Core auras.
Similarly, the four Grand Elders on Vast Ocean Peak naturally noticed Qin Ming's arrival as well.
"Oh! Fellow Daoist Qin has returned!"
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin on advancing to the Mid Core Formation Stage, taking another step forward on the Immortal Path."
"Truly joyous news!"
Ancestor Qing Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared, arriving before Qin Ming and smilingly offering his congratulations.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's been a while!"
"You truly seem to be growing younger as you live."
Nalan Xi's figure also materialized.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations on the great advancement in your Cultivation."
Wei Wuyai and Pei Qing also flew out, warmly greeting Qin Ming.
"Haha! I didn't expect so many Fellow Daoists to be here, what a coincidence." Qin Ming also put on a smile, returning the greetings to each of them.
Afterward,
Qin Ming followed the four back to Vast Ocean Peak.
After the Wu Kingdom incident, everyone's attitude toward Qin Ming had changed considerably.
"Daoist Friend Nalan, I must thank you for taking care of Moon Gazing Island for me for so long."
Qin Ming raised his cup, smiling at Nalan Xi as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Qin is too polite, it was just a trivial matter. This Seat benefited from your Dust Vanquishing Pill, haha!"
"It is Fellow Daoist Qin who has not been seen for many years, yet your Cultivation becomes ever more refined, your Immortal Path is boundless."
"It seems this Travel abroad has yielded no small harvest."
Qin Ming said modestly, "I merely broke through by luck, it was just a slight Fated Chance."
Rogue Cultivators who could reach this step all had their own secrets.
Those present would not pry into the matter.
"By the way, on my way back, I saw that the Demonic Beasts have all retreated back to the Beast Cry Mountain Range, it seems the Situation has reversed again?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's like this…"
Next, the Grand Elders explained the current situation of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World to Qin Ming, as well as some of their subsequent plans.
"Now that the Beast Tide has receded, it is a great opportunity for us."
"As long as we remove the remaining Taihu Lake Ruins, this malignant tumor, the Cultivation World can be stable once more."
"As for Jin Kingdom, we must also take it back. Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of the Demonic Path, it will always be a thorn in our side, requiring constant vigilance."
Ancestor Qing Xuan paused here, then said to Qin Ming, "We have discussed it before, and propose that if we retake Jin Kingdom, we wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin would be interested in governing it?"
"Govern Jin Kingdom?" A hint of surprise appeared on Qin Ming's face.
However, he still shook his head and said, "I, Qin, am used to being unfettered, and have no interest in establishing a sect."
"Moreover, I cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
Qin Ming naturally understood their intentions; they hoped he could lend a hand and jointly deal with the Demonic Path and the Ghost Plague.
Ancestor Qing Xuan and Nalan Xi and the others revealed a hint of regret upon hearing this.
After all, with Qin Ming's current Mid Core Formation Stage Cultivation Strength, with his addition, the chances of success in dealing with the Ghost Plague and the Demonic Path would naturally increase significantly.
After all, being able to consecutively slay three Demonic Path Golden Cores, among those present, perhaps only Ancestor Qing Xuan in the Late Golden Core Stage could achieve that.
The Golden Core Ancestors also knew Qin Ming's personality and did not want to force him, so they changed the topic and began exchanging Cultivation experiences with each other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they also held a Small Celebration to welcome Qin Ming back and celebrate his successful Breakthrough to the Mid Core Formation Stage.
A small Trade Fair was also held during the wine party.
Qin Ming, as a Tier 3 Spirit Plant Grandmaster and Tier 3 Alchemy Dao Grandmaster, naturally had many good things on hand.
In the ten years in the Small Spirit Realm, he had refined many Tier 3 Pills one after another, and now they came in handy.
Once Cultivation reached the Core Formation Stage, these Tier Three Spirit Pills became even more sought-after hard currency than Spirit Stones.
Qin Ming used Pill Refining to exchange for many of the Grand Elders' prized Spirit Materials.
It should be known that these individuals were either Sect Masters or City Lords who had been stationed in their respective areas for hundreds of years.
They definitely had a deep Foundation.
Half a day later. The Grand Elders still had matters to discuss, so Qin Ming took his leave first.
He did not rush to leave, but instead went to the Mirror Snow Pavilion in the Inner City.
In the Mirror Snow Pavilion, Shopkeeper Liao was dressed in luxurious golden robes, beaming with joy, sitting in the Private Room on the Seventh Floor, surrounded by Spirit Fragrance, flipping through the account books handed up by his subordinates in one hand.
In the other hand, he held a precious Spirit Tea, leisurely sipping it.
His Cultivation had even reached the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Shopkeeper Liao, have you been well!"
"Life is quite comfortable, I see."
Just then,
accompanied by an ethereal voice.
The Space in the Room Interior fluctuated, then ripples spread out.
Shopkeeper Liao stared in astonishment at the scene before him, as if he had seen a ghost.
Only to see that in the Room, a person had appeared out of thin air.
When the figure fully materialized, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
Smilingly looking at him.
Shopkeeper Liao's eyes widened, and his astonished expression instantly turned to surprise, excitedly stepping forward to bow:
"Senior Adept Qin!"
"Why have you come?"
"Welcome Senior Adept Qin, Your Esteemed Presence!"
Qin Ming casually waved his hand, lifting him up, "No need for formalities."
Shopkeeper Liao's face was full of enthusiastic smiles, and he quickly brewed Spirit Tea for Qin Ming, "Senior Adept Qin, please have some Tea."
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, Shopkeeper Liao has not only successfully established his Foundation, but has also become the Deputy Pavilion Lord of the Mirror Snow Pavilion, a meteoric rise to prominence?" Qin Ming glanced at Shopkeeper Liao and said with a faint smile.
Shopkeeper Liao hurriedly replied upon hearing this, "Hehe! Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Senior Adept Qin's Good Fortune."
"Those above recognized my merit in knowing Senior Adept Qin, and after Pavilion Lord Gu left, they arranged the position of Deputy Pavilion Lord for me, temporarily managing the Shop affairs for her during Pavilion Lord Gu's absence."
"This Junior also took this opportunity to accumulate some savings, and in an Auction House, I bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill and luckily established my Foundation."
"If it weren't for meeting Senior Adept Qin in Azure Cloud Market back then, this Junior would probably never have reached this step in my life."
Qin Ming said upon hearing this, "These are all your Good Fortune, no need to be modest."
"By the way, Daoist Friend Gu hasn't returned yet?"
Qin Ming had originally intended to meet Gu Qingzhao on this return trip.
When she last left, she said she was going out to Travel to seek a Fated Chance for Breakthrough to Golden Core.
"Pavilion Lord Gu has only returned twice during this period. The last time this Junior heard her say, she was going to Liang Kingdom to slay Demonic Beasts and Ghostly Creatures to train, and to collect Spirit Materials along the way."
"There has been no news since."
Qin Ming nodded, sighing inwardly, unexpectedly Gu Qingzhao was so determined, choosing to hone her Cultivation through demon slaying.
But in this way, danger and risk coexisted, and with a slight mishap, years of Hard Cultivation would be reduced to nothing.
Since Daoist Friend Gu was not here, Qin Ming exchanged a few words of pleasantries with Shopkeeper Liao and then left the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
He also wrote a letter, asking him to pass it on to Su Yuqing of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and attached fifty Jin of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice.
He did this just to understand the recent situation of Great Jin in advance, as well as how the Battle Situation of the Fire Palace was developing.
To prepare for going to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in the future.
The letter briefly introduced his recent situation, and then heavily emphasized the matter of him refining Tier 3 Mid Grade Spirit Pills.
He wondered what Dao of Alchemy genius Su Yuqing would think when she learned of this.
Qin Ming also went to the Hall of Affairs to see Lü Wan Jun, sat for a short while, and then left Vast Sea Immortal City.
Half an hour later.
He rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee and returned to the Spirit Residing Archipelago once again.
…
At the same time, several tiny black shadows lurking in the Vicinity of Immortal City observed the situation, slowly disappearing into the Void Space.
