Chapter 442 Choice
A few days later, within the Small Spirit Realm.
Qin Ming, based on Demon Lord Xue Yan's memories, took out a Blood Token from his Storage Bag, then, following a special Oral Formula, began Spellcasting and chanting.
Gradually, the Blood Token in his hand lit up, and then a strange Blood Ring emerged from his body.
As Spellcasting continued, wisps of Blood-colored Curse Seal Aura from his body were all absorbed into this Blood Token without a trace remaining.
Mysteriously, Qin Ming could sense a spiritual energy enveloping his body, which had been lingering and impossible to dispel, being completely erased.
"In this way, the matter of the Blood Ring Curse Seal is also resolved; I didn't expect it would be in this manner." Qin Ming used his Divine Sense for Inner Vision, checking everything over.
At this point, a great stone in his heart also fell.
In these past few days, Qin Ming also took stock of his harvest from this trip.
"Unexpectedly, I haven't even reached Great Jin Dynasty yet, and I've already harvested the lives and fortunes of three Nascent Soul Cultivators."
"It's just a pity I couldn't save Friend Li Huo; I can only accept his Storage Bag with tears."
First of all, the most lucrative was naturally Demon Lord Xue Yan's Storage Bag.
"High-Grade Spirit Stone, probably around eighteen thousand; following that, there are also more than a thousand Black Demon Crystal used by Demonic Cultivators for Cultivation."
"Unexpectedly, even a Nascent Soul Demon Lord doesn't have treasures like Top Grade Spirit Stone; it seems this kind of resource is extremely scarce even in the Vast Blood Realm."
"Otherwise, with his high position and authority, he should at least have one or two."
"On Demon Lord Xue Yan's body, the most precious thing is probably that Blood Spirit Cage Demonic Treasure. Although it's currently only at the Rank 4 Lower Grade level, once this treasure is refined and absorbs enough Nascent Souls, it can continuously Upgrade."
"It's just a pity for Venerable Separating Fire."
When Qin Ming opened this Demonic Treasure, Venerable Separating Fire's Nascent Soul had already been refined to almost nothing, its Nascent Soul essence having been completely absorbed by the Demonic Treasure.
Originally, Qin Ming had also wanted to try using the Mystical Power of Four Seasons Divine Light to attempt a rescue.
After all, he had tested this special Spirit Plant Divine Ability on Old Demon Qingyang before, and its Divine Soul healing effects were also extremely significant.
It could be said to be miraculous and life-restoring.
But now Venerable Separating Fire had already transformed into a part of the cage Demonic Treasure, and Qin Ming wanted to save him, but it was beyond help.
Venerable Separating Fire's fortune was also quite abundant, with all kinds of Spirit Stone, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Demon Beast Materials, Cultivation Method and Secret Arts, and Miraculous Spirit Pill, too numerous to count.
The most formidable was his Fourth-Rank Middle-Grade Spirit Treasure, the 'Eight Extremes Ruler', truly an Attack-Type Supreme Treasure that was hard to come by.
However, what he carried with him in his Storage Bag was clearly not the entirety of Fire Palace's fortune.
Fire Palace's Foundation should still all be stored in the Sect Treasure Vault.
This time, with Venerable Separating Fire and Elder Qian, two Pillars of Support of the Great Sect, Fallen, it is feared that much internal strife will be stirred up within the Sect.
Finally, there was True Monarch Secluded Sand's 'Soul Transformation Spirit Gourd', also a Lower Fourth Grade Spirit Treasure.
After all, Fourth Rank Spirit Treasure are not something every Nascent Soul Cultivator possesses; most Nascent Soul Cultivators use High-Grade Magic Treasure or Top-Grade Magic Treasure.
Reaching the level of Spirit Treasure requires not only extremely superb Weapon Refinement Skill, but also the Resources invested are a terrifying number.
Just those rare Fourth Rank Spirit Material are not so easy to find.
These three people's reputations, even among Nascent Soul Cultivators, were quite significant, and the Resources they controlled were also much more abundant than ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"Made a huge profit, fattened up in one go."
"In the future, in the Nascent Soul circle, I will also be considered somewhat wealthy."
Subsequently.
Qin Ming took out those two Blood Pearl and came to face his Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin-Yang Vine.
He raised his hand and tossed them, throwing the two dark black Blood Pearl to the Yin-Yang Vine.
The black Vine danced, like tentacles, wrapping around the Blood Pearl in Mid-Air, instantly absorbing them completely.
Qin Ming's gaze quietly watched his Natal Spirit Plant, with a slight hint of anticipation.
After absorbing these two Blood Pearl of Nascent Soul Cultivators, the black Vine seemed to have obtained immense Benefits, emitting extremely joyful emotions towards Qin Ming.
Immediately following, under Qin Ming's gaze, the Black Vine finally began to grow and change again.
Silver Rune began to coil around the Spirit Plant.
Mysteriously, a boundless Aura of Time emanated from the Yin-Yang Vine, the dense stem and branches were immense, even more Lush and Flourishing than before.
Those Silver Rune were even more complex and profound than before, and seemed to be only one last step away from allowing this Natal Spirit Plant to complete Transformation and Advancement once again.
"It seems the Quantity of Blood Pearl is still a bit lacking…"
"Only when the Natal Spirit Plant Advances can my Azure Emperor Art and Green Emperor Wood Monarch Sacred Body continue to Breakthrough."
Qin Ming looked up at the ancient and mysterious black Vine.
However, he was already very satisfied that he could make his Natal Spirit Plant grow to such an extent this time.
After Qin Ming finished these matters, he also completely dissected the Corpse of that Fourth Rank Blood Scale Demon Python.
He separated and collected all of its ordinary Blood and Essence Blood, storing them in Jade Bottle and sealing them well, to be used for Farming in the future.
And this Demon Core's Spirit Essence was mostly Losses, but as a Demon Core of the Fourth Rank level, its Value was still very high.
Afterwards, he also peeled off the Demon Python's Python Skin. Fourth Rank Python Skin is a rare Spirit Material for refining Magic Treasure or Spirit Treasure, hard to come by.
Its Demon Python Treasure Meat was also full of spiritual energy. Qin Ming called Devouring Heaven Rat and Mysterious Water Crocodile, as well as Silver-Winged Frost Bee, and organized a barbecue in the Small Spirit Realm.
One person and three beasts ate grilled Fourth Order Great Demon Treasure Meat, drinking Demon Flame Wine, life was simply too wonderful.
Only Old Demon Qingyang in the Blood Floating Pagoda was staring blankly at the delicious food and fine wine, sighing and groaning.
"Sigh! Old Man can't even remember how long it has been since I enjoyed such fine wine and delicacies; forget it, I won't watch anymore, it's upsetting!"
Devouring Heaven Rat held a meat skewer in its hand, deliberately biting it with sizzling sounds in front of him, "Mmm, Fourth Rank Treasure Meat is really too fragrant, and there are all sorts of unspeakable Benefits."
Old Demon Qingyang: "…"
At the same time.
Along with the Fallen death of these three Nascent Soul Perfected cultivators, it also caused a great uproar in the Cultivation World.
Especially the Fallen of Venerable Separating Fire, the Supreme Elder of Fire Palace, and Elder Qian, for this Major Power, the number one Force of Great Jin Dynasty, it could simply be said to be a Catastrophic Disaster.
Without Nascent Soul True Monarch to guard the Sect, all kinds of internal and external troubles arose one after another.
It was just said that because the Life-Bound Primordial Spirit Lamp of Fire Palace's Sect Founding Ancestor was still lit, other Forces of Great Jin Dynasty were also wary and hesitant.
They did not dare to completely turn hostile.
But it is not difficult to judge that if a new Nascent Soul True Monarch is not born, Fire Palace's position henceforth will plummet.
The Defenders of the Righteous Path Alliance was also in chaos, leaderless. Fortunately, True Lord Ten Thousand Treasures of the Myriad Paths Merchant Alliance temporarily came out to preside over the overall Situation, and barely stabilized the Situation.
And the impact on the Blood Forging Demon Gate was also quite significant.
Within the Great Li Shadow Demon Sect.
In the Position at the head of the Great Hall, sat the figure of that Blue Ice Saintess. After so many years, she had already Advanced to the Realm of Nascent Soul Demon Lord.
Beside her were Profound Yin Old Demon of Yin Demon Sect, and two other Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Blood Forging Demon Gate. These two had both descended through Realm Descent.
"Why did that Old Ghost Xue Yan, together with the two Human Race Nascent Souls, Fallen in the Beast Cry Mountain Range?"
"Could it be Demon Sage Gu Shan of the Demon Clan who took action? Not even being able to escape as a Nascent Soul, it's feared that they encountered an Opponent at Mid Nascent Soul Stage or above to make this possible."
"It shouldn't be. According to the Information Demon Lord Xue Yan sent back, the Demon Race is planning to cooperate with the Human Clan to jointly resist our Sect." Blue Ice Saintess's face was extremely cold and beautiful, her temperament even more outstanding than before.
"There should have been some major variable."
"Let the Disciple under the Sect hurry, and be sure to investigate this matter clearly."
The Fallen of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord was also a not small blow to the Blood Forging Demon Gate.
It was also the first time they had encountered such a thing in so many years since Realm Descent occurred, and they had to Take Seriously.
…
Half a month later.
Qin Ming had just finished a big score, and in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he immediately cast True Fiend Illusion, transforming into a Traveling Merchant with an Ordinary Appearance, and entered the Territory of Great Jin Dynasty.
After he came here, he also Experience the chaos brought about by the war.
A tense atmosphere permeated everywhere.
Especially the original Five Elements Mountain Range, had already become the Battle center between the Demonic Path and the Defenders of the Righteous Path Alliance.
Spirit Ruins Market had long been Blood Sacrifice by Great Black Heaven, and Five Elements Mountain Market no longer existed, turned into a ruin.
Qin Ming sighed, "Such a scale of war and strife, even I cannot bring peace to this place again…"
Immediately, Qin Ming contacted Hua Tianxiong and asked him to come and see him.
Hua Tianxiong's Strong Backing, Elder Qian, had also hung up, and continuing to stay in this chaotic Scorched Earth was actually no longer of much significance.
Central Continent of Great Jin, outside of Sky Separating Immortal City.
Hua Tianxiong drove the Golden Luan Treasure Carriage, and as soon as he saw Qin Ming, he hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Hua Tianxiong greets Master!"
He looked listless and dejected; it seemed the Fallen of Elder Qian had been a great blow to him.
After all, he was the Strong Backing who had taken care of him for so many years, although Elder Qian's care for Hua Tianxiong was more out of profit considerations.
Afterwards, Qin Ming pulled Hua Tianxiong into the Small Spirit Realm to communicate and learn about some of the latest News.
"By the way, how is Su Yuqing doing?" Qin Ming asked casually.
Hua Tianxiong hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Reporting to Master, Alchemy King Su attempted to Impact the Nascent Soul Realm two years ago, but unfortunately… failed."
"Ah? With Brother Su's Talent and Aptitude, he must have refined Nascent Soul Pill and Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill, prepared the items needed for Tribulation Crossing, and only attempted to Impact the Nascent Soul Realm when he had a certain degree of confidence; how could he have failed?" Qin Ming was slightly surprised to hear this News.
Hua Tianxiong sighed, "It is said that the Nascent Soul Formation process is extremely difficult, and not every Human Race, can have Master's Great Fortune. Fortunately, Alchemy King Su had made preparations beforehand, and only damaged his Meridians. After failing the Impact, he did not fall from his Realm."
"Afterwards, I went to visit him once. According to Alchemy King Su, he is preparing to enter Secluded Cultivation for ten years, and then Impact the Nascent Soul Stage again; whether it is life or death, it is estimated that everything will depend on it."
"Now that Venerable Separating Fire has Fallen, some places are still implicated in the Su Family. Alchemy King Su is still under considerable Pressure."
"As for Great Jin Dynasty, it should be True Lord Ten Thousand Treasures who has temporarily come out to preside over the overall Situation and resist the Demonic Path."
Qin Ming was also filled with emotion, but he knew Su Yuqing's temperament; once he decided on something, he would never easily change it.
"Hua Tianxiong."
"Master, please give your instructions."
"Next, This Seat will give you two Choices. First, arrange for you to return to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, and manage Moon Gazing Island together with Mo Lingwei."
"Or, you can go to Star Moon Market to manage your Business, and by the way, help me search for Spirit Item."
"The Southern Wilderness currently has no worries about Demon Gate Realm Descent invasion, and the Cultivation environment is naturally safer and more stable than the current Great Jin Dynasty."
"With This Seat's Verbal Decree, you can also thrive like a fish in water."
As soon as Hua Tianxiong heard these words, the previous gloominess was swept away, and a look of undisguised excitement appeared on his face.
He was almost about to hastily agree.
But he saw Qin Ming stop him, and continue to say, "Second, This Seat is preparing to Travel to the East Sea Cultivation World for a while. The time is uncertain, maybe just a few years, or maybe it could be decades."
"During this period, there will definitely be some matters that require you to run errands for This Seat, and handle some public matters."
"But This Seat is also going to the East Sea Territory for the first time, and am unfamiliar with the place. At that time, there may be all kinds of crises at sea, and This Seat may not be able to protect your safety at all times."
"How to make your Choice, you can decide for yourself."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he quietly waited for Hua Tianxiong's reply.
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Hua Tianxiong immediately fell into a tangled Choice.
But after only half a Tea's time.
Hua Tianxiong showed a firm look, and bowed to Qin Ming with clasped hands, decisively saying, "I am willing to follow Master and go to the East Sea Cultivation World together, to share Master's worries and troubles."
He was also getting on in years; if he didn't take a gamble now, he might have no chance, and he could still distinguish who was the real Strong Backing.
"Okay, you should handle the matters under your command first."
"By the way, Old Jia and Li Lan of Mirror Snow Pavilion, you should arrange for people to send them back to the Southern Wilderness."
Qin Ming looked distantly in the direction of Sky Separating Immortal City.
Fire Palace was now only concerned with the internal strife crisis of their own Sect.
Outside the number one Immortal City of Great Jin Dynasty, Bandit Cultivator were rampant everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense, certainly not a good place for Business.
"Of course, the matter of the East Sea is not urgent either. Taking advantage of these years of chaos, perhaps many scarce Resources in Great Jin Dynasty will secretly flow out. Here is the Spirit Item List that This Seat needs; you should first try to collect one or two for me."
"Among them, focus on 'Azure Sky Spirit Soil' and other Spirit Item."
"Yes, I will go and handle matters now!"
Hua Tianxiong took the Jade Message Slip from Qin Ming's hand, and then retreated to receive orders and Handle Matters.
