Chapter 391 Core Formation True Lord
Several days later.
Near the Five Elements Mountain Range, atop a secret and unremarkable Mountain Peak, a rugged and dim Passage led into the depths of the Mountainside.
Luo Chen and Luo Xi, at this moment, were walking inside with extremely nervous expressions.
Incense Stick Duration later.
The scene in front of the two suddenly widened, and they arrived at a huge Karst Cave artificially excavated, in the center of which was a Black Stone Plaza covering several acres.
These black stones emitted waves of Mysterious Light, seemingly having the effect of isolating all Divine Sense probing.
Moreover, on the surface of the black stones, many Spirit Marks were densely engraved, connected together, forming a profound and abstruse Restriction Grand Formation, enveloping this Space.
It almost completely isolated this place from the Outer World, making it impossible to detect a trace of abnormality.
And on the Grass Woven Meditation Cushion in the Central Plaza, a delicate-looking green-robed youth was sitting cross-legged, but from his body, not a trace of Magical Power Aura could be sensed—what was strange was—
this person in the darkness, yet gave people a great sense of oppression.
Luo Chen and Luo Xi walked to a place not far in front of the green-robed youth, not daring to breathe loudly.
Even Elder Luo Xi in the Early Golden Core Stage was also helplessly at a loss in front of him.
After a long while, the green-robed youth opened his eyes as black as ink, as if able to see through everything.
He lightly addressed the two, opening his mouth to inquire and ask, "How are things going?"
As his voice fell, the entire Space echoed with his ethereal voice.
Luo Chen hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully bowed to the green-robed youth, only then replied, "Reporting to Supreme Elder, this Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill is truly too troublesome."
"The only way to obtain it is controlled by Shopkeeper Lu of Mirror Snow Pavilion in Five Elements Mountain Market. Throughout the entire Great Jin Dynasty, Grandmasters who can concoct this Pill are few and far between."
"But that Shopkeeper Lu actually proposed needing a Fourth-Rank Spirit Item, only then would he be willing to ask Pill Master Su to help with Pill Concocting…"
Speaking of this, he carefully glanced at the green-robed youth, observing the other party's attitude and reaction.
The Cultivator in youth-like appearance before them was Ancestor Cold Crow, the Core Formation True Lord of the Profound Clarity Monastery of Great Zhou.
"Continue," Ancestor Cold Crow said without any emotional fluctuation, without joy or sorrow.
Seeing that the other party was not angered, Luo Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Besides this, recently when Elder Luo and I were searching for Spirit Items, we got good news, we heard that the Myriad Paths Merchant Alliance of Five Elements Mountain Market will auction a section of Star Sea Divine Vine half a month later…"
"Star Sea Divine Vine?" On Ancestor Cold Crow's face without joy or sorrow, finally there was a trace of emotion.
Seeing that the Grand Elder was somewhat moved, Luo Chen hurriedly said, "Supreme Elder, if we really can't get the Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill, why don't we auction off that section of Star Sea Divine Vine and send it to you?"
As his voice fell.
In Ancestor Cold Crow's eyes, a trace of sharp light emerged.
Immediately, he suddenly chuckled disdainfully, "These Demonic Scoundrels of the Blood Forging Demon Gate, are truly using every trick in the book!"
"Actually willing to use Star Sea Divine Vine as bait."
"Want to use this kind of petty trick to lure this Grand Elder to take the bait?"
Elder Luo Xi and Luo Chen were suddenly startled! "Supreme Elder, are you saying…" Luo Chen also panicked in his Mental Focus.
"That's right, how could the Five Great Divine Woods of the Cultivation World be so easy to obtain? Behind it, nine times out of ten, are those two Demonic Sect Holy Sons, knowing that this Grand Elder's Divine Soul is injured, they specially set up this trap for this Grand Elder, to lure the snake out of its hole."
Ancestor Cold Crow's eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a trace of coldness.
Elder Luo Xi and Luo Chen shivered with cold after hearing this!
Immediately, they also did not dare to act on their own initiative, waiting for Ancestor Cold Crow's next instructions.
In the air, fell into a brief silence.
After a long while.
Ancestor Cold Crow said with a hint of hatred:
"This Grand Elder also did not expect that in the hands of that Demonic Sect Holy Maiden, there would actually be a High-Tier Demonic Path Magic Treasure, the Ice Soul Demonic Light Mystical Power is even more unbelievable, actually able to restrain and freeze the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of Cultivators."
"This Grand Elder was careless and fell into their trap."
"If it weren't for this time, timely finding a Physical Body with decent Aptitude to perform Body Seizing, the Foundation of Profound Clarity Monastery for thousands of years, would probably be completely destroyed in one go…"
"The Demonic Light Poison is like Tarsal Bone Maggots, constantly eroding this Grand Elder's Nascent Soul Divine Soul, must resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"When the Divine Soul is completely restored, this Grand Elder can quickly cultivate back to the Nascent Soul Realm, at that time, we will recall Sect Disciples to retake the Mountain Gate and rise again!"
"Hehe! Luckily, this Grand Elder had a backup plan, and transferred Core Disciples away to escape in advance, moreover, the Sect's Foundation and Heritage are all in this Grand Elder's hands."
"The extraneous things lost on the periphery are all insignificant, discard them if you must."
Elder Luo Xi and Luo Chen could not help but be speechless after hearing this.
Sure enough, Nascent Soul Old Monsters who have lived for thousands of years, none of them are easy to deal with, scheming and deep, the older they get, the more demonic… Nowadays, Ancestor Cold Crow's reputation in the three major Immortal Realm is not very good, for a dignified Nascent Soul Perfected Person to be reduced to this state, there is really no one else like him.
To the extent that Ancestor Cold Crow can be called a model of enduring humiliation to survive.
However, Luo Chen and Luo Xi naturally would not dare to show even the slightest unusual expression in front of Ancestor Cold Crow.
"Let's do this, it was not easy to find a hiding place."
"The Blood Forging Demon Gate wants to lure this Grand Elder to take the bait, why not use their plan against them, you all pretend to participate in the Auction then secretly contact Shopkeeper Lu, and get the Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill as soon as possible."
"The sooner the better."
"As for the Fourth Rank Spirit Material he wants, then satisfy him. As long as Nascent Soul cultivation can be restored, paying a little more Price is also acceptable."
In just a short moment, Ancestor Cold Crow had already made a decision.
"Respectfully obey the Supreme Elder's command!"
Luo Chen and Luo Xi hurriedly bowed and responded.
Afterward, the two left the Karst Cave to Handle Matters.
…
Half a month later.
Within the Five Elements Mountain Market, the Auction organized by the Myriad Paths Merchant Alliance was held as scheduled at the Five Blessings Auction.
Because of the appearance of the Star Sea Divine Vine, such a Divine Wood of the Cultivation World, it attracted a large number of Cultivators from all corners of the world, coming to join in the fun.
The Defenders of the Dao Alliance also increased manpower, strengthening the Safety alert of the Market, and the verification of the Status of Cultivators entering the Market is extremely detailed.
Especially Demonic Path Cultivators from Outside Market City, simply cannot get in.
Different from the past, only Orthodox Path Forces were invited to participate.
Now that the Great Jin Dynasty has established the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, it is as incompatible with the Demonic Path of Great Li as fire and water.
And Qin Ming naturally is also paying attention to this Auction.
After all, the Star Sea Divine Vine, such a Divine Wood, if there is a chance, he still wants to get his hands on it.
But at the moment, vaguely revealing a conspiracy, he can only observe for a while before deciding.
Although the Demonic Path cannot enter the Five Elements Mountain Market, perhaps they have already planted Insiders inside, and may be lying in wait Outside Market City.
Just waiting for which unlucky fool, after auctioning the Star Sea Divine Vine, to Soul Searching them.
And on the Auction side, Qin Ming has already let Hua Tianxiong follow up.
With Hua Tianxiong watching, he doesn't need to worry too much.
While Qin Ming is in the Mirror Snow Pavilion Branch, sitting tight and waiting for developments.
The Auction is proceeding vigorously.
At the same time.
Luo Chen, however, came to the Mirror Snow Pavilion alone.
After he stated his purpose, Old Jia asked Luo Chen to wait a moment, and then went to the Fourth Floor to ask for instructions from Qin Ming.
"Reporting Shopkeeper Lu, outside there is a Luo-surnamed Cultivator, saying that he talked with you before, wanting to meet you."
"What do you think, should we meet or not?"
"If we don't meet, I will go down and send him away."
Qin Ming put down the teacup in his hand, smiled slightly and said, "These people of the Luo Family, sure enough, after going around in circles, still found me here."
"Old Jia, bring him up."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Lu."
A moment later.
Old Jia brought the handsome and dashing Luo Chen to the Fourth Floor Private Room.
"Shopkeeper, Young Master Luo has been brought, then this old one will take my leave first." Old Jia finished speaking and respectfully retreated.
Luo Chen raised his hand to cover his mouth, pretending to be weak and coughed twice, greeting Qin Ming, "Cough! Cough! Shopkeeper Lu, we meet again."
Having said that, he even squeezed out a forced smile.
Qin Ming heard this, but sat steadily on the Chairs, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet him.
He took a sip of Tea, and said without looking up, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Luo, since you want to talk business, why be so evasive, not showing your true face to others? If you have sincerity, why are you still pretending to be injured, and… changing appearance and transforming face?"
Boom! As soon as these words came out, the smile on Luo Chen's face immediately froze, his whole person was somewhat in disbelief.
He couldn't have imagined in any way, that he possessed the Disguise Secret Treasure bestowed by the Supreme Elder, how his Status would be exposed, and even be seen through by the other party.
"If Fellow Daoist Luo is like this, then I, Lu will not see you off," Qin Ming said lightly.
"If that's the case, I'll ask for instructions."
And so, Luo Chen went outside, took out a Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman, and secretly contacted someone.
Qin Ming also knew, that the person Luo Chen was urgently contacting at this moment, was probably the big boss behind the scenes.
In a short while.
Luo Chen walked back to Qin Ming, immediately formed a Magic Art with his hand, and removed the Disguise from his body, and revealed his original appearance, which was a young Cultivator even more handsome than before, with a Late Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
Qin Ming nodded.
The other party is so young, to be able to Cultivation to such a Realm, it seems his Talent Spirit Root is not low.
"Shopkeeper Lu, let me reintroduce myself, I am Bai Yuhan, True Lineage Disciple of the Profound Clarity Monastery of Great Zhou. I have absolutely no malice towards your esteemed pavilion, only due to some Origin, I have to be a bit careful and cautious, please forgive me."
Bai Yuhan cupped his hands towards Qin Ming, after all, he had a request of him, so his attitude was extremely polite, and towards this Shopkeeper Lu of the Mirror Snow Pavilion, he put away his underestimation.
Unexpectedly, the other party is also deeply hidden.
To be able to easily see through his Disguise, he is definitely not an ordinary person, at least he is also reserved.
Qin Ming heard the other party's self-introduction, and was also quite surprised, only then did he get up to invite Bai Yuhan to take a seat, poured Spirit Tea for him, and then got straight to the point, "Young Master Bai, are you still here for the matter of the Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill?"
"Hehe! Shopkeeper Lu has eyes like torches, I, Bai am indeed here for this matter. Shopkeeper Lu, what you said earlier about using Fourth Rank Spirit Material to exchange for Pill Master Su to take action to concoct Pills once, does it still count?" Bai Yuhan asked.
Qin Ming inexplicably smiled, and shook his head.
Bai Yuhan saw this, and immediately a trace of displeasure appeared on his face, "Shopkeeper Lu, what does this mean? I have shown my sincerity to the fullest, by doing this, are you not making fun of me?"
"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Bai, don't misunderstand." Qin Ming finished speaking, directly took out a delicate Jade Bottle, and placed it in front of the other party.
Bai Yuhan was confused, immediately opened the Jade Bottle to take a look, a strong and extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, immediately, a ball of five-colored rosy light shot out from inside the bottle, only to see inside lying a Pill surrounded by Spiritual Aura.
"This… this is…" Bai Yuhan was directly stunned on the spot, stuttering, and asked uncertainly, "That's right, this Pill is precisely the Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill. Young Master Bai, isn't this what you need? Long ago, I already entrusted Pill Master Su to concoct this Spirit Pill, originally planning to put it in the Auction, for Auction. But since Young Master Bai has a request, I kept it. Hehe!" Qin Ming looked at the other party with a smile.
Bai Yuhan carefully checked for a long time, and finally confirmed, this is indeed the Miraculous Spirit Pill needed by Grand Elder Cold Crow.
And at this moment, Bai Yuhan also understood, Shopkeeper Lu obviously has him in his grasp, otherwise, he would not have directly taken out the genuine and real Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill.
For a time, Bai Yuhan was half happy and half worried, happy that he finally found the Pills he had been painstakingly seeking, worried that Shopkeeper Lu directly took out the finished Pills, what he is after must be significant.
And so, he closed the Jade Bottle in his hand again, carefully placed it back on the table, and asked Qin Ming, "I wonder what kind of Fourth Rank Spirit Material Shopkeeper Lu needs, to be willing to part with this Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill?"
Qin Ming at this moment also not difficult to guess, who this Spirit Pill is for, nine times out of ten it is for treating the Divine Soul of extremely important figures within the Profound Clarity Monastery.
And so he coughed lightly, tentatively said, "I, Lu want to exchange for a Five Elements Spirit Ginseng."
"What?!" Even Bai Yuhan, as True Inheritance of the Profound Clarity Monastery, could not hold it together at this moment.
"Shopkeeper Lu, your Condition is too harsh, isn't it? If it were ordinary Fourth Rank Spirit Material, that would be fine, but this Five Elements Spirit Ginseng is a Mid-Grade Fourth Rank Spirit Medicine, and it's still an extremely rare item," Bai Yuhan could not help but say.
Qin Ming knew that Profound Clarity Monastery is a Nascent Soul Sect, and must have this kind of Strategic Level Spirit Medicine, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, if not mention it now, when will you mention it? "Apart from Five Elements Spirit Ginseng, I, Lu will not exchange for anything else."
Bai Yuhan was also helpless, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then Shopkeeper Lu, please wait a moment, I, Bai will first ask for instructions."
Afterward, he went to the Next Door Room, took out a Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman, and secretly reported and communicated, a full Incense Stick Duration passed.
Only then did Bai Yuhan return to the Room where Qin Ming was, put on a smile again, and said to Qin Ming, "Shopkeeper Lu, you've waited long, since you have finished Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill. To be honest, our Sect does indeed have Five Elements Spirit Ginseng. However, this Spirit Herb, presumably Shopkeeper Lu should also know, is exceptionally precious, so it is not on my person, and I cannot make the decision. Those above instructed me to convey to Shopkeeper Lu, that this matter is of great importance, they would like to invite you for a meeting, and can Trade with you face-to-face."
Qin Ming was also taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "May I ask, Young Master Bai, who are those above…"
"Shopkeeper Lu will know when you arrive, it cannot be said now." Bai Yuhan said with a smile, seemingly afraid that Qin Ming would have concerns, then explained, "Shopkeeper Lu, please Rest Assured, even if the deal fails, friendship remains. Our Profound Clarity Monastery is also a famous and honorable sect with a Reputation in Great Zhou, we will definitely not do anything to make things difficult for you."
Qin Ming did not expect, the other party would propose such a Condition.
But thinking about it again, he himself has proposed such an excessive Trade Condition, it seems not inappropriate for the other party to treat him cautiously.
Considering that now, except for Nascent Soul True Monarchs and below, he is already fearless of all Strength, in addition to this, he also wanted to see, what medicine Bai Yuhan is selling in the gourd.
And so he nodded and agreed to the other party.
Bai Yuhan saw this and was immediately overjoyed, "Then Shopkeeper Lu, let's go now, please come with me."
Immediately, the two directly left the Market.
On the way, Qin Ming asked somewhat doubtfully, "Young Master Bai, isn't the Star Sea Divine Vine currently being Auctioned at the Five Blessings Auction? This item also has great effect in terms of restoring Divine Soul, why must it be the Nine Suns Soul-Sustaining Pill in my hands?"
Inside the Dharma Boat, Bai Yuhan glanced at Qin Ming meaningfully and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, you are asking the obvious, what kind of thing is the Star Sea Divine Vine, how could it be so easy to compete for? It is clearly aimed at our Profound Clarity Monastery, we naturally will not be fooled."
Qin Ming heard this and pursed his lips, it seems the people of Profound Clarity Monastery are not stupid, probably there are cunning and sly people behind them, giving them guidance.
With Bai Yuhan such a simple-minded young person, it is obviously impossible to make such a judgment.
The two flew for more than four hours, and arrived at a Secret Mountain Peak.
Bai Yuhan took out a Token, and activated the Mechanism set up on the Mountain Peak.
Then he led Qin Ming along the Cave, all the way to the Karst Cave Plaza deep within the Mountainside.
But when Qin Ming saw the green-robed youth sitting cross-legged in the Black Stone Plaza, his pupils could not help but suddenly contract, the whole person, instantly became highly alert.
"Nascent Soul True Monarch!"
