Chapter 506: A Pure Land in Chaotic Times
Time flowed leisurely, seasons changed in cycles.
Five years passed in a flash.
During this period, with the Demonic Path's large-scale offensive, the days were not easy for any Cultivation World.
Even the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World was attacked by the Demonic Path's Realm Descent, fortunately, the losses were not too great.
Under such circumstances, Qin Ming could not attend to other places, and could only protect his own territory.
Great Jin, since the birth of Su Yuqing, a newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivator, coupled with her identity as a Fourth Order High-Grade Grand Pill King.
And having cultivated and nurtured some intermediate forces, dealing with the Demonic Path Invasion was much better than before.
Currently, within the Defend the Dao Alliance, Su Yuqing, Venerable Crow, and True Monarch Wanbao jointly manage and oversee it, and the pressure is much less.
In the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, since Qin Ming released the "Southern Wastelands Demon Extermination List", cultivators from all sides volunteered to hunt down Demonic Cultivators, showing unprecedented high enthusiasm.
Moreover, on the three lists, many talented individuals have emerged.
Even many reclusive cultivators who kept a low profile were attracted by the tempting rewards.
Winter Solstice, the yang returns, and all things are renewed.
On Moon Gazing Island, after instructing everyone, Qin Ming began his day-to-day life of planting again.
During this period, Hua Tian Xiong unintentionally, from the Star Moon Market, actually managed to gather Azure Sky Spirit Soil of three zhang square.
This really gave Qin Ming a big surprise!
For this, he also heavily rewarded Hua Tian Xiong.
Since the Spirit Perch Archipelago became the core of the Southern Wastelands Four Kingdoms, these rare Cultivation Resources have also appeared one after another.
One must know that this is a Fourth Rank Spirit Item!
In the past Southern Wilderness, even Third Order Spirit Items were few and far between, but now such rare items could be gathered by Qin Ming's subordinates.
This is enough to show that the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World is also changing its past backwardness and beginning to gradually develop.
With these Spirit Soil, Qin Ming could expand the planting of Blood Serpent Azure Rice. The Spiritual Rice harvested last time had already been consumed, and it was just right to replenish the Spirit Seed.
Inside the Small Spirit Realm.
The Devouring Heaven Rat and Little Silver Fox, these golden boy and jade girl, shuttled among the lush Spirit Plant, carefully tending to the Spirit Fields.
And Qin Ming had already planted Blood Serpent Azure Rice again, this time there were fully four to five hundred plants.
And three golden Entries were refreshed:
[Name]: Blood Serpent Azure Rice[Entry]: Core Formation Spiritual Power x5 (Maturity 2%)
[Name]: Blood Serpent Azure Rice[Entry]: Time Like an Arrow x5 (Maturity 3%)
[Name]: Blood Serpent Azure Rice[Entry]: Core Formation Blood Qi x5 (Maturity 2%)
After planting the Spiritual Rice.
Qin Ming then walked to the Demon Jujube Tree. The Demon Jujubes on it, nourished by the remains of Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivators, were also constantly growing vigorously.
Moreover, this Demon Plant, like Demonic Path cultivation, as long as it absorbs enough Demonic Remains, especially high-level remains, it advances and grows extremely fast.
It was just like the Demonic Path plundering other people's Cultivation Level from other places.
The maturity progress of the Entries on it had also changed.
[Name]: Origin Demon Jujube[Entry]: Core Formation Blood Qi x5 (Maturity 52%)
[Name]: Origin Demon Jujube[Entry]: Time Like an Arrow x5 (Maturity 51%)
[Name]: Origin Demon Jujube[Entry]: Source Demon Qi x5 (Maturity 52%)
"After the Demon Jujubes mature, I can harvest five Source Demon Qi again, which can be synthesized into two True Demon Qi."
"At That Time, if I go to the Demon Ruins mentioned by Gu Shan Demon Saint and find Heavenly Demon Qi, I should be able to Greatly Enhance my Body Refinement Cultivation Level again, and practice the second transformation of Demonic True Power."
"This Origin Demon Jujube, as a Mid Fourth-Order Demon Plant, is estimated to be able to Greatly Enhance Devilish Art Cultivation Level…"
"Even in the Demon Realm, it is a rare and precious item."
Qin Ming cast Spirit Rain on these Spirit Plant, and also watered Flood Dragon Essence Blood on the Blood Serpent Azure Rice.
Finally, he walked to his Natal Spirit Plant, the Undying Immortal Vine, and took out all the "Yimu Essence" condensed when Alchemy in the Spirit King Cauldron, and threw it to his Natal Spirit Plant as fertilizer.
This also saved Qin Ming from having to search everywhere for Fourth Rank Blood Pearl, saving a lot of trouble.
Immediately after.
He went to check the Jade Scale Dusk Fish he had previously cultivated. These Dusk Fish had grown from the previous three to more than twenty after several years of breeding.
Under the Little Silver Fox's careful feeding, each Spirit Fish was much larger than before, weighing more than a catty.
These Dusk Fish had Scale Gleam shimmering, surrounding the Undying Immortal Vine, swimming in the Void Space of the Small Spirit Realm, exceptionally lively.
If a Nascent Soul Cultivator with slightly weaker Cultivation Level, would not be able to keep up with the Speed of this Dusk Fish.
"Fourth Tier High-Grade Dusk Fish, I will also taste what it tastes like."
Immediately he casually caught a few exceptionally plump Jade Scale Dusk Fish, and threw them to the Devouring Heaven Rat, asking it to cook them together to enjoy.
The Devouring Heaven Rat's mouth split open in a smile when it heard that it was eating Fourth Tier High-Grade Spirit Fish.
"Master, don't worry, I will show you my skills again today, hehe."
After it took the Jade Scale Dusk Fish, it called Little Silver Fox to start a fire to cook.
Clang clang clang!
Before long.
Inside the Kitchen of the Immortal's Cave, the sound of pots and stoves colliding came out, followed by an extremely rich Spirit Fish broth wafting out.
Little Silver Fox then took some Blood Serpent Azure Rice and started cooking rice.
The Devouring Heaven Rat had followed Qin Ming for so many years, and its cooking skills had also greatly improved. It had also specially gone to the most famous Immortal Abode Restaurant in the Southern Wastelands Four Kingdoms for further studies for a period of Time.
Before long, a table full of Spirit Wine and Spirit Food was brought up.
Of course, today's main dish was still the Jade Scale Dusk Fish Soup. It could be seen that a layer of white misty light was rising above it, the broth was rich, and Spirit Qi was compelling.
Just at a glance, it was extraordinary.
After all, this was a Spirit Item that a Fifth Tier Demon Venerable had fished up from the Void Profound Abyss, rare in all of Heaven and Earth.
New year, new atmosphere.
Qin Ming put on big red brocade robes for the Devouring Heaven Rat and Little Silver Fox, making them look particularly festive, and prepared to eat.
The Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee were also called over, one person and four beasts, sitting around the Little Dwelling by the Small Spirit Realm Lakeside, enjoying the legendary Spirit Fish.
Little Silver Fox obediently poured Spirit Wine for Qin Ming, and also served a full bowl of Dusk Fish, and then started eating.
"Let's eat." Qin Ming said with a smile to them.
Immediately, he sent the Dusk Fish Soup into his belly, and a stream of incomparably pure Spirit Qi flowed through his limbs and bones.
At the Same Time, Qin Ming's Nascent Soul suddenly felt a feeling of enlightenment washing over him.
Mysteriously, he gained many insights about Void Space.
After eating the Spirit Fish and Spiritual Rice, Qin Ming Quickly returned to the Immortal's Cave and began Secluded Cultivation.
"As expected of Fourth Tier High-Grade Spirit Fish, the Core Formation Spiritual Power that hasn't shown any movement for a long Time has begun to grow again."
After Qin Ming broke through to the Mid-Core Formation Stage, the Evergreen Spiritual Power foundation in his body far exceeded Same Stage Cultivator, comparable to a Late Core Formation Stage Great Cultivator.
Cultivating to this step, the further back it was, the harder it was to advance even an inch.
Spirit Item that could make his Cultivation Level grow like this were already few and far between.
His four Spirit Pets also ate and drank their fill, and each of them with round bellies went to refine Spirit Qi.
…
The outside world was in chaos, but Qin Ming's place was as stable as Mount Tai.
After the Jade Scale Dusk Fish went down, Qin Ming's Nascent Soul was suddenly surrounded by Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, this was Dao Essence produced when the Dusk Fish captured Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in Void Space.
A smile appeared on Qin Ming's Nascent Soul's face, and Mysteriously, his understanding of Void Space Divine Ability greatly improved.
When he unfolded his Core Formation Law Domain, he could clearly feel that the shrouded range had expanded by more than a mile.
"This Jade Scale Dusk Fish is truly wonderfully indescribable, the Great Dao Creation is magical, not something that can be speculated by common sense."
Qin Ming spent several days to completely absorb and refine the Spirit Qi in the Spirit Fish Soup.
The Devouring Heaven Rat was a Fourth-Order Demon Saint, and also Quickly refined the Spirit Fish, its Demon Power increased a lot, and it was moving Towards Fourth Rank Mid Stage.
Since then, it advanced to become a Fourth Rank Monster Beast, and awakened the Devouring Divine Ability. No matter what it ate, its Cultivation Level could grow.
This made Qin Ming a little confused as well.
The remaining three beasts absorbed vast Spirit Power, naturally they could not refine it as easily as the Devouring Heaven Rat, and each returned to their Immortal's Cave to begin a long sleep.
It was estimated that it would take a period of Time to completely digest it.
Secluded Cultivation ended.
Qin Ming's whole person's aura was restrained, returning to simplicity and genuineness.
At first glance, he was like a farmer who had been farming in the fields for a long Time, his temperament was as tranquil as water.
The Devouring Heaven Rat, transformed into a Chubby Boy, also followed out, holding a Hundred-Year Spirit Ginseng that it had planted itself in its hand, gnawing on it like a white radish, and said with lingering taste in its mouth:
"Master, the taste of this Jade Scale Dusk Fish is really unforgettable, alas! It's a pity that there are too few of them."
"Among the many Immortal Feast I have eaten, this fish is enough to rank first."
Qin Ming pinched its chubby face when he heard this, "Then during the Time when Little Silver Fox is in Secluded Cultivation, the task of raising fish will be handed over to you."
"This fish is hard-won, if you raise them to death, This Seat will send you to the Void Profound Abyss to catch fish."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely Serving these Dusk Fish well!" The Devouring Heaven Rat said with a grin and agreed.
On Moon Gazing Island, Spirit Qi was misty, and rosy clouds filled the sky.
Various Spirit Plant competed for beauty, a scene of prosperity.
After more than two hundred years of development, Moon Gazing Island has also become a large Spirit Island, no longer the remote and desolate island it was at the beginning.
Even those Barren Island around it, affected by the Nourish Influence of the Fourth Order High Grade Spirit Vein on the island, began to possess Spirit Vein.
Many Family Factions came here attracted by fame, and the former Barren Island also became an inch of land worth an ounce of gold.
Other places are unknown.
But now Qin Ming's menacing figure in the Blood Universe Demonic Path is well-known, even Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord dare not easily provoke him, let alone others.
A menacing figure who could blow up the Power Puppet Demon Aspect with just his physical body, who would dare to Offer themselves?
Therefore, the Spirit Perch Archipelago has become the safest place in the Southern Wilderness in recent years.
Half a year later.
On Moon Gazing Island, Spirit Qi Cloud of Radiance continuously condensed, which was a Strange Phenomenon of a Great Demon breaking through the Realm/State and undergoing tribulation.
With tribulation after tribulation.
Several days later, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky above the Spirit Island gradually dissipated.
Little Silver Fox, Mystic Water Crocodile, and Silver-Winged Frost Bee advanced side by side, and Finally broke through the Third Rank Perfection Stage Realm/State.
The Last Step to the path of Transformation Stage Great Demon was only the Last Step for them, but this step was extremely difficult, even more difficult than all the previous steps of the Third Rank Stage combined.
It required a certain amount of Luck and Opportunity.
And the Spirit Farmer on Moon Gazing Island were also accustomed to this Strange Phenomenon. Their Island Lord, who lived in seclusion, had to cause a big commotion every now and then.
This was already considered small at the moment.
After completing the advancement, the three Spirit Beast were also very excited, circling around Qin Ming.
The Mystic Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee still had not Transformation yet, it was estimated that like the Devouring Heaven Rat, they did not have the Transformation talent of the Fox Clan, and could only Transformation into a half-human, half-beast appearance.
Little Silver Fox's Cultivation Level greatly increased, and her appearance also became more lively and adorable.
"Congratulations to second and third."
"Congratulations Little Silver Moon! How is it? After following This Seat for a period of Time to eat spicy food and drink strong liquor, you have also broken through as naturally as water flowing into a canal."
"However… you must remember to guard against arrogance and impatience, cultivate diligently, and strive to Catch Up To my Footstep as soon as possible…"
"Don't be complacent because you have achieved a little bit of success."
The Devouring Heaven Rat stood in front of the three beasts, put on the posture of a Senior, and began to pontificate.
Several months later.
When Yue Ling Yan came to the island again, she was surprised and delighted to find that Little Silver Fox had broken through to the Third Rank Perfection Stage!
It had been a long Time since they last met.
Little Silver Fox transformed into a petite and exquisite snow-white Demon Fox, and pounced into her arms all at once.
"Thank you Daoist Friend Qin for taking care of her, I didn't expect Little Silver Moon to break through to such a Realm/State." Yue Ling Yan said gratefully to Qin Ming.
In recent years, she had been organizing the Demon Clan to fight against the Demonic Path, and was exhausted from running around, and it was rare to take Time to come to Moon Gazing Island.
Qin Ming replied with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist Ling Yan, you don't need to be so polite, Little Silver Fox helped Qin, someone, with planting and farming, and raised a lot of Spirit Fish, and is also good at Serving people, this is what she deserves."
Afterwards.
Qin Ming invited her into the Azure Wood Pavilion to Exchange information about the recent Situation.
The Devouring Heaven Rat and Little Silver Fox then brewed Spirit Tea for the two of them.
"Fellow Daoist Ling Yan, how is the Situation of the Demon Clan recently?"
Yue Ling Yan frowned upon hearing this, put away the smile on her face, and said with a solemn expression, "Currently, it is not particularly optimistic, mainly because of the fall of Gu Shan Demon Saint. Without him as the backbone, it is a great blow to the unity and morale within the Demon Clan."
"In recent years, several more Demon Clan have been successively breached by the Demonic Path."
"If that's the case, hasn't Demon Venerable White Lin made a move yet?" Qin Ming asked again.
Yue Ling Yan replied, "How can we guess what Demon Venerable, Senior is thinking, and besides, the Demon Lord of the Demonic Path has not Make a Move yet, presumably there are some scruples between each other."
"However, there is also good news."
"In order to resist this Demonic Path's thunderous offensive, it is said that the Penglai Sect and Star Palace of the East Sea Cultivation World have also taken out their true Foundation, and have also regained some disadvantages in the battle Situation."
"The Heavenly Sea Alliance has also begun to increase the number of cultivators to come to aid."
"It seems that whether or not we can withstand this wave of large-scale Invasion depends on these top Sects of the Mortal Realm…" Qin Ming sighed slightly.
Afterwards, Qin Ming also learned about the Situations in other places, but the specific content was roughly the same as what Mo Lingwei had reported back.
"It's still the Southern Wilderness where Daoist Friend Qin is in charge that is peaceful and stable. If I hadn't come here, I would have even thought that the Demon Calamity had already receded…"
"Since I came from the Beast Roar Mountain Range, passing through Vast Sea Immortal City, and all the way to this place, I can hardly see any traces of the Demonic Path."
"And the defense lines on the Border Region are also built on a large scale. On the contrary, many Demon Hunting Cultivators teams are everywhere looking for traces of the Demonic Path, and actively clearing Void Anomalies."
"This is enough to show that under Daoist Friend Qin's governance, the Demonic Path dare not easily invade."
"Nowadays, the only place comparable to the Southern Wilderness is the East Sea Cultivation World."
