Chapter 488: After an Old Friend
Small Spirit Realm.
On the grassland, four Great Demon corpses were neatly arranged.
Apart from the Essence Blood of the Demon Serpent Gen Chi, which Qin Ming had given to the Demon Infant, the Essence Blood of the other corpses remained intact.
A Fourth Rank Flood Dragon was a treasure trove from head to toe, and its body parts were all high-level Spirit Materials that were highly sought after but rarely found in the Cultivation World.
Whether it was Pill Refining, Artifact Crafting, or Formation Refining and Talisman Crafting, they could all be put to great use.
"Hehehe! Truly a family of four, all lying here neatly together." The Devouring Heaven Rat revealed an expression of excitement, rubbing its chubby little hands.
Qin Ming glanced at it, how could he not know what idea this guy was hatching? However, the Devouring Heaven Rat could currently produce Mysterious Profound Stone, which was of great use to him.
The Mysterious Profound Stone he had on hand was already completely used up, and he needed to prepare some more.
Qin Ming immediately threw the Demon Cores of the Green Lizard King and another Early Fourth Order Flood Dragon to the Devouring Heaven Rat.
"Since you can produce Mysterious Profound Stone by devouring Nascent Souls, you should also be able to do so by devouring Fourth Rank Demon Cores. Show me what you can do."
"Thank you for the Master's reward!" The Devouring Heaven Rat took the Demon Cores, its little face almost splitting with laughter.
Then, it found a place to Refine those two Demon Cores.
No one knew why, but since the Devouring Heaven Rat had Advanced to become a Fourth Rank Transformation Great Demon.
It had become increasingly capable of consumption. Devouring several Nascent Souls in succession only slightly increased its Cultivation, and there seemed to be no other significant changes.
If ordinary Transformation Stage Great Demons were to devour Nascent Souls like this, their Cultivation would have greatly improved at the very least.
After all, the Nascent Souls of the Human Clan and the Demonic Path were similar to Demon Cores, being the essence of a Cultivator's entire being, and were also highly nourishing to the Demon Clan.
'Could it be that it eats as much as it excretes, completing a cycle?'
Qin Ming couldn't help but have such a strange thought.
Immediately after.
Qin Ming collected all the Essence Blood from the other three Flood Dragon corpses.
He kept the bottle of Essence Blood from Crown Prince Xuan Ce, after all, he was born in the East Sea Dragon Palace and was truly a Royal Clan member among the Sea Race, possessing the Ancient True Spirit Bloodline. It might be of great use in the future.
Or he could continue to give it to the Demon Infant for Body Refinement.
Qin Ming then took a portion from the other two bottles of Essence Blood and came to the Spirit Field where he had planted Blood Dragon Green Rice.
Performing Hand Seals, he poured it down onto the Azure Sky Spirit Soil.
As the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood was poured in, the dozen or so Blood Dragon Green Rice plants seemed to have received immense benefits, emitting an extremely joyful emotion.
Then, they began to grow wildly. Wisps of Blood Dragon Essence Energy visible to the naked eye continuously surged from the roots of the Spirit Plant Cultivation from bottom to top, filling the entire Spirit Rice plant. The blood-colored patterns between the green stems and branches became even more pronounced.
The plump green Spirit Rice Ear even bent the entire Spirit Plant over.
This was the benefit of irrigating with Fourth Rank Flood Dragon blood. Although in the process of cultivating Blood Dragon Green Rice, only Third Rank snake and Flood Dragon type Essence Blood was needed.
However, Qin Ming had used a heavy dose, deciding to cultivate this batch of Fourth-Rank Middle-Grade Spirit Rice to its limit.
In his vision, two entries also changed: [Name]: Blood Dragon Green Rice [Entry]: Nascent Soul Mana X5 (Maturity Level 85%) [Name]: Blood Dragon Green Rice [Entry]: Time Flies Like an Arrow X5 (Maturity Level 82%) "Quickly, it's almost mature."
"After irrigating with this Flood Dragon blood, it should be ready for Harvest."
Qin Ming stared at these Blood Dragon Green Rice, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Afterwards.
He collected the Flood Dragon corpses on the ground and left the Small Spirit Realm in a rather good mood.
After Qin Ming finished all this, he prepared to leave Azure Sea Immortal City and return to Moon Gazing Island.
However, when he passed through the Core District, he inadvertently glimpsed a somewhat familiar face.
Therefore, Qin Ming slowed his pace.
Inside the Lv Family Courtyard.
A beautiful woman, displaying Late Qi Condensation Stage Cultivation, was leading a pair of children and several Clan Members in Ancestor Worship in the Ancestral Hall.
"Thank you for the blessings of our ancestors, allowing us to still receive the grace and protection of the Immortal City…"
Above the Ancestral Hall, two portraits were hanging. They were portraits of Lü Liang and Lü Wan Jun, old acquaintances Qin Ming had met in his early years. After the Clan Members had all left, the young woman stayed behind to tidy up the Incense Offering alone.
The woman looked at the portraits on the wall, seemingly reminiscing about something, her Expression filled with sadness.
However, she did not know that a figure had quietly appeared in the Ancestral Hall.
The woman looked at the portraits, secretly wiping away tears, and then prepared to walk out of the Ancestral Hall.
But when she turned around, she saw an Ordinary Appearance young man, gazing leisurely at the portraits on the wall.
She could not even sense a trace of Magical Power Aura from this person, as if he were a Mortal.
However, when she clearly saw Qin Ming's face, she instantly recognized him.
Wasn't this Perfected Person Wang Yue, who was famous throughout the Southern Wilderness? She was suddenly shocked and hurriedly prepared to perform a kneeling bow: "Junior Lv Cuier, greets Senior Perfected Person Moon Gazing True Lord!"
Qin Ming casually waved his hand, lifting her up: "No need for formalities."
"I didn't expect Lü Wan Jun to have Fallen as well. When did she leave? What is your relationship to her?"
Checking one by one, no mistakes in the version!
"Reporting to Senior, Junior Lv Cuier, the person in the portrait is my late mother. She Fallen several decades ago when the Demonic Calamity broke out. In order to go and rescue my father, she unfortunately encountered a large number of Demonic Path… both Fallen together." When the woman said this, overcome with emotion, she secretly shed tears again.
"Alas! I didn't expect this woman to not escape this Tribulation either." Qin Ming sighed.
His Secluded Cultivation sessions were short, lasting several months, and long, lasting several years.
He had not paid much attention to some things outside.
"Lü Liang and Lü Wan Jun can both be considered This Seat's old friends. As their only descendant, This Seat should also provide some care. Do you have any wishes?" Qin Ming nodded, looking at the portraits, and asked faintly.
Lv Cuier's body trembled upon hearing this, and an Expression of excitement appeared on her face. Who could remain calm in the face of a Fated Chance given by a Core Formation True Lord?
She hesitated for a long time, and cautiously requested: "Senior Perfected Person… I have a son and a daughter, could you help Junior take a look…"
"No need, when I just came in, I already checked. Their Cultivation Talents are quite ordinary, and they are not suitable to enter my sect."
"However, if you are willing, you can send them to Moon Gazing Island to be Spirit Farmers. Even if they cannot seek Immortality, they can at least ensure a lifetime of peace."
"Thank you for Senior Perfected Person's kindness, Junior dares not ask for too much…" Lv Cuier hurriedly bowed gracefully.
But when she stood up again, Qin Ming's figure was already gone from before her eyes.
Only her gaze fell on the table beside her, where an exquisite Jade Bottle had appeared.
She hurriedly stepped forward and opened it. Along with a strange Pill Fragrance, she saw a azure Spirit Pill lying inside, emitting a dense Pill Halo.
"Foundation Establishment Pill!!" Lv Cuier covered her small mouth, her entire person stunned on the spot, speechless for a moment.
After Qin Ming left the Lv family, he also went to the Feng Family Talisman Shop in the Outer Area to take a look.
He learned that Feng Sihai had also Lifespan Exhausted and passed away decades ago. Now everything was different.
"Seas change into mulberry fields, time passes easily, and many old friends have departed…"
Qin Ming sighed with emotion, and then drove the High Heaven Treasure Carriage back to Moon Gazing Island.
At the same time.
During this period, Qin Ming also received a piece of News reported back by Mo Lingwei, which was considered good News.
That was, Fang Han, the personal Disciple of the late Tier 3 Alchemy Dao Grandmaster Gongsun Yang of Profound Stream Valley in Liang Kingdom, had successfully Advanced to Tier 3 Alchemy Dao Grandmaster Realm not long ago.
Becoming the youngest Alchemy Dao Grandmaster in the Southern Wilderness since Qin Ming.
Moreover, his Cultivation had also Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. Profound Stream Valley could be considered to have successors.
Qin Ming had met this young man a few times in the early years, and he did not expect that such a long time had passed, and he could actually shoulder the responsibilities of a sect.
Profound Rain Ancestor's Lifespan is probably also nearing its end.
He immediately attached a Tier 3 Dao of Alchemy manual and instructed Mo Lingwei to attend the Golden Core Ceremony on his behalf.
After all, Qin Ming had once gone to Profound Stream Valley to 'borrow' the Golden Core Pill Formula in his early years in order to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. Now it could be considered as settling a Karma.
