Star Moon Market, inside the top floor room of the Separate Courtyard Pavilion.
"That's exactly right, recently there have been some signs of unrest."
Su Yuqing continued to explain, "Some time ago, the Demonic Path army, led by Heavenly Hatred Old Demon, once again fought with the major sects of the Northern Cold Cultivation World."
"But unintentionally, they discovered that in the Northern Cold Polar Region, an aurora phenomenon had appeared, showing signs of dissipating, which is a sign of the legendary Primal Peak Mountain emerging."
Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this, recalling some information in his mind, but he couldn't find too much information related to this place.
It was clearly a secret of the Cultivation World.
Venerable Crow saw that Qin Ming didn't seem to know much about it, so he patiently explained, "It's normal for Daoist Friend Qin to not know about this place. Even for us old guys, we don't have much information about Primal Peak Mountain, we know very little, and we've never been inside."
"Legend has it that the Origin Peak Mountain Range is an Immortal Spirit Land where ancient cultivators cultivated. At its peak, there were even several Dao Palaces existing at the same time. The Spiritual Qi inside is abundant, and there are countless high-grade treasures."
"Even, there are Spirit Transformation Opportunities and Spirit-Connecting Treasures."
"Spirit Transformation Opportunities? Spirit-Connecting Treasures?"
Qin Ming was surprised upon hearing this, but then he understood.
No wonder these Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists came together, it turned out to be for this matter.
If this was really the case, let alone these Early-Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, Primal Peak Mountain would have enormous allure for Late Core Formation Stage cultivators, and even for those Spirit Transformation Ancestors.
"Hehe! That's right, and this matter is very likely to be true."
"Above Fourth Rank Spirit Treasures are Spirit-Connecting Treasures, their power is in a different league, they can autonomously give birth to spiritual consciousness and control Primordial Energy."
"The core of such treasures is often naturally formed, cultivators cannot refine them, and even Spirit Transformation Venerables may not possess them."
'Fifth Order Spirit-Connecting Treasures?' Qin Ming pondered for a moment, wondering if his Bloodflayer Pagoda Spirit Treasure counted?
After all, Old Demon Qing Yang, a Spirit Body, was still sitting in it, acting as the Artifact Spirit.
Just then.
Old Demon Qing Yang yawned and personally spoke, shattering Qin Ming's fantasy, "Little Friend Qin, don't overthink it. This Bloodflayer Pagoda is at most slightly higher level than ordinary Spirit Treasures. This Old Man is just a remnant Soul Body, not considered an Artifact Spirit of a Spirit-Connecting Treasure."
"The Artifact Spirit of a Spirit-Connecting Treasure must be autonomously born with spirituality to count. Other opportunistic methods of externally applying and refining Artifact Spirits into them are all not counted."
Qin Ming understood after listening, and then asked him incidentally.
"Old Devil Qingyang, do you know about matters related to this Primal Peak Mountain?"
"This… This Old Man naturally only knows a little bit about it. Only the last Sect Leader of the Azure Origin Sect seems to have entered once."
"However, Little Friend Qin, listen to This Old Man's advice, it's better for you not to join in the fun with these people. Although there are many treasures, they are not so easy to obtain!" Speaking of this, Old Demon Qing Yang became hesitant again, "It is said that Primal Peak Mountain has existed for so long, even longer than our Azure Origin Sect, it can be traced back to the Desolate Ancient Era… This Old Man has never been inside either…"
"But I do know a little bit, that is, Primal Peak Mountain is shrouded in Origin Peak Light all year round. This light can isolate all Five Elements Spiritual Power. If cultivators enter it, without other means, they are almost like mortals, purely lambs to the slaughter when encountering danger."
Qin Ming's attention flickered. Looking at this old ghost's appearance, he seemed to know very little indeed.
But he probably hadn't said everything.
At the wine table.
Seeing Qin Ming in a pensive mood, Venerable Crow thought he was tempted, and immediately pressed on while the iron was hot, saying:
"Daoist Friend Qin, do you know that the Spirit Transformation Opportunity is the legendary Fifth-Order Spirit Medicine 'Spirit Transformation Paste', which is the key for Nascent Soul Cultivators' Nascent Souls to sublimate and transform into Nascent Divinity."
"Our group came here this time also to invite Daoist Friend Qin to find a way to enter Primal Peak Mountain together."
Venerable Crow also spoke the purpose of this trip on behalf of everyone.
After all, everyone present was clear about Qin Ming's strength. He could make a powerful figure like Heavenly Hatred Demon Lord wary, and single-handedly pacify the Thunder Accumulation Mountain Demonic Path.
This was enough to illustrate his formidable Divine Ability strength.
With Qin Ming joining, and with the collective strength of everyone, finding a method and subsequent treasure hunting should not be difficult.
They were all quietly observing Qin Ming's attitude and reaction.
After a long while.
Qin Ming revealed a wry smile and politely declined, "Qin Ming is afraid he will have to disappoint the good intentions of all Fellow Daoists. Even if there is a great Fortuitous Encounter, I am afraid it is not meant for me."
"I just want to cultivate Spirit Plants and nurture Spirit Beasts peacefully on Spirit Qi Archipelago."
Hearing this, all the Fellow Daoists present looked at each other, unexpectedly Qin Ming's heart for bitter Cultivation was so firm.
Even when facing a Spirit Transformation Opportunity, he remained unmoved.
Such willpower was simply embarrassing to everyone!
Even Yue Ling Yan was puzzled and asked, "Could it be… Daoist Friend Qin is not at all tempted by the Great Dao Opportunity?"
Qin Ming pondered slightly, not wanting these close friends to fall into danger as well, so he said:
"Fellow Daoists must also know that places where such important Treasure ruins are located either have ancient Grand Formation restrictions left behind, or are guarded by fierce beasts, they are definitely not so easy to obtain."
"Leaving aside these things for now, at that time, I am afraid even the Demon Monarchs of the Blood Realm, and even Spirit Transformation Demon Lords, may go."
"Treasures are good, but you must have the life to enjoy them."
"Qin Ming here advises all Fellow Daoists to dispel this idea as soon as possible. It is not easy for cultivators of our generation to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage. After all, those who can obtain Fortuitous Encounters are very few… If you are not careful, you will be utterly destroyed."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.
Originally, he thought a few people would listen to his advice, but who knew that in the next moment, Perfected Person Long Mu slowly pondered and said:
"Hmm… Daoist Friend Qin's words are not without reason. This Old Woman and others have also given it deep consideration. In the Penglai Sect's library pavilion, there are some records about Primal Peak Mountain."
"It is known that when one is in Primal Peak Mountain, no matter what Realm/State the cultivator is, all Magical Power Cultivation Level cannot be used. At that time, whether it is Late Core Formation Stage or Spirit Transformation Venerable, they will all be treated equally."
"Therefore, we have the idea of taking a risk."
"After all, we old guys are also old. If we don't take some risks to compete for the Great Dao Opportunity, I am afraid that time is running out, and we will all follow the path of lifespan exhaustion and ascension, leaving only regrets."
"Now, the emergence of Primal Peak Mountain has also given us a glimmer of hope."
"Unlike Daoist Friend Qin! You are so young and already surpassed us old bones."
Qin Ming sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Indeed, as Perfected Person Long Mu said, if one stood in their position and perspective, they would not easily let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Since this is the case, although Qin Ming is not interested in Primal Peak Mountain, if I collect any Information about entering methods or other intelligence, I will share it with you all." He could only say this.
"Then we will thank Daoist Friend Qin." Venerable Crow saw this, knowing Qin Ming's temperament and character, so he raised his wine cup to thank him.
There was no more persuasion, after all, everyone has their own choices.
In recent years, Qin Ming has gained some Lifespan Statlines. Now he has more than four thousand six hundred years of lifespan, and it is still growing. The longer he lives, the longer his lifespan becomes.
And he can keep brushing Statlines. He is different from these Nascent Souls, naturally there is no lifespan pressure, and there is no need to take such a big risk.
Next.
Everyone exchanged cups and chatted about some other matters in the Cultivation World.
Qin Ming learned from everyone's mouths.
Since the aurora phenomenon of Primal Peak Mountain appeared, not only has the Demonic Path's offensive not decreased, but the Demonic Calamities descending in various Cultivation Worlds have shown a trend of intensifying.
It is not difficult to see that the Blood Abyss World Demonic Path is also going to adjust its strategy and focus entirely on the competition for this ancient Immortal Spirit Land.
In the next Several Decades, or even within a hundred years, the last wave of Blood Abyss World Realm Descent is estimated to be placed here, going all-in.
After all, obtaining a Treasure in Primal Peak Mountain is better than large-scale plundering the Human Realm's Resources.
During this period.
Devouring Heaven Rat and Little Silver Fox learned that Yue Ling Yan had also come, and they ran back from the Market City again, to be close to her.
Boom!
Bang!
Just then.
Suddenly, a huge and dazzling firework bloomed in the night sky, its colorful lights illuminating the entire Star Moon Market.
Causing all the Nascent Soul Cultivators present to look sideways, each of their gazes revealing different emotions, obviously Filled with Emotions and full of feelings.
They, as Nascent Soul Cultivators, already stood at the top of the Cultivation World.
But they deeply knew the principle of 'going against heaven is immortality, going with the flow is mortality'.
If not, after hundreds of years, it would still be like the fireworks in front of them, a flash in the pan, all empty glory.
A few days later.
The centennial celebration of Star Moon Market was grandly held, not only cultivators from the Southern Wastelands Four Kingdoms, but even cultivators from other surrounding Cultivation Worlds also came attracted by reputation.
Qin Ming Showed Face at the conference and cut the ribbon, the scene was filled with voices, giving enough prestige.
Venerable Crow and Su Yuqing and others were also very supportive, staying until the trade fair ended before taking their leave.
The simultaneous appearance of so many Nascent Soul Great Cultivators in Star Moon Market also made this trade and exchange conference glorious and unprecedentedly lively.
Devouring Heaven Rat and Little Silver Fox were even more reluctant to leave, eating their fill in the Market City, and when they came back, they did not forget to carry big and small bags in their hands.
After the hustle and bustle, Spiritual Qi Archipelago returned to tranquility.
Qin Ming also returned to Moon Gazing Island and resumed Cultivating and farming.
In the following Time.
The Situation of the Cultivation World seemed to become turbulent beneath the surface.
Low-level cultivators may not feel anything, but the biggest change was for top-level cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage.
Even the Penglai Sect's Supreme Elder of Late Core Formation Stage rarely showed up several times in the East Sea Cultivation World, secretly and openly looking for clues.
…
Deep in the Beast Roar Mountain Range, inside a secluded Farmhouse Courtyard.
Demon Venerable White Lin, who was lazily fishing, was pouring Spirit Wine from the gourd into his mouth, reminiscing endlessly as he said to the Gray-Robed Middle-Aged Man beside him:
"Mu Qingzi, are you really not going to try some?"
"This Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Nectar is truly Immortal's Abode Fine Wine, it is really endlessly memorable! How often can one smell such fragrance in the Human Realm."
"Even if you give me a Top-Grade Spirit Mountain, I won't exchange it."
Mu Qingzi's face showed no joy or anger, he did not answer the other party's words, but asked indifferently, "Have you considered it clearly? Are you willing to join forces with This Seat to go to Primal Peak Mountain together?"
"Primal Peak Mountain? That kind of place is too dangerous, even I am not sure I can come back alive, let's forget it, hehe!" Demon Venerable White Lin poured a mouthful of Spirit Wine into his mouth freely and easily, and then asked, "Speaking of which, don't you know the location of an Ascension Platform? Why still take the Risk?"
"Wouldn't it be good to honestly re-cultivate to Spirit Transformation? When the time comes, ascending to the Spirit Realm, it will be a different world… Why be obsessed with a Spirit-Connecting Treasure?"
Mu Qingzi's lips moved a few times, and a message was secretly transmitted to the other party's mind via Sound Transmission.
Demon Venerable White Lin's smile suddenly froze after hearing this. He slowly put down the gourd in his hand and asked with a solemn expression, "Is what you said true?"
"As the Sect Leader of the Azure Origin Sect, would This Seat deceive you?" Mu Qingzi said lightly.
Demon Venerable White Lin seriously pondered for a long time, and seemed to have made up his mind, saying, "If it is really as you said, then I can't say I can't take a little Risk."
A long-lost smile appeared on Mu Qingzi's unclear face, "So you agreed?"
Demon Venerable White Lin casually threw the gourd in his hand and threw it to Mu Qingzi.
"Try it."
Mu Qingzi took the gourd, and immediately felt a long-lost mellow aroma coming over him, and then took a sip.
The whole person stayed in place for a long time, before commenting:
"Good wine!"
…
Time passed, years turned.
Qin Ming farmed and cultivated bitterly on Moon Gazing Island, feeling contented and enjoying it.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.
During this period, he harvested another wave of Blood Dragon Green Rice, and also harvested five [Core Formation Spiritual Power], five [Time Like an Arrow], and five [Abundant Lifespan].
After using the Entries, the Transparent Core Formation on the Purple Palace Spirit Platform became more solid again, steadily moving Towards the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
For him, who now possesses the Azure Emperor Wood Manifestation Saint Body, there are no Bottlenecks or obstacles in the entire Nascent Soul Stage.
Cultivating is all smooth sailing.
Those who can break through to Late Core Formation Stage Great Cultivators are all heaven-defying figures in terms of Aptitude and Luck/Fortune in the Human Realm. Those who can push Core Formation Spiritual Power from Mid Stage to Late Stage can be counted on both hands.
Therefore, facing opportunities that can increase Core Formation Cultivation, many old monsters will not let go of them.
Su Yuqing and Yue Ling Yan's choices are also understandable.
However, Information about Primal Peak Mountain, no matter where it is, is really too little.
Going in rashly, everything is unknown.
In these ten years, Qin Ming also instructed Mo Lingwei and Hua Tian Xiong to try their best to collect relevant intelligence in this regard.
But the results were minimal.
In addition, after this round of farming by Qin Ming, coupled with the lifespan increase of cultivating the Qingdi Scripture, his own lifespan also reached the five thousand year mark!
Lifespan is like the Spirit Plants in the garden, growing gratifyingly.
On this day.
Qin Ming completed his daily Cultivation homework and walked out of the Immortal's Cave. His whole body's temperament became more simple and unadorned. When he stood there, he blended with the heaven and earth.
Devouring Heaven Rat put down the Farmer God Hoe in his hand, and muttered to himself as he watched Qin Ming, 'Master has become even more unfathomable. He can clearly scare away Late Core Formation Stage cultivators, but he is still as low-key as ever.'
Qin Ming's Attention was as dark as ink, gazing at the vast Moon Gazing Lake, and he said to himself:
"This Qingdi Scripture is really too difficult to cultivate. It seems that to reach the sixteenth level, I still have to force-ripen another wave of Seven Wonders Treasure Tree."
