Chapter 377: The Shape-Transforming Demonic Grass and the Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pearls (Two in One)
"But I am from the human race. Is it inappropriate to go to the demon race to participate in the grand ceremony?"
Qin Ming expressed his doubts.
After all, the human race and the demon race have fought many battles since ancient times and are not at odds with each other. Although there are examples of the demon race and the human race coexisting peacefully, Qin Ming really does not dare to take risks.
The little silver fox smiled slightly and said: "Senior Qin, please don't worry. My mother has also considered this. If it weren't for Senior Qin's life-saving grace and strong help, my mother would be able to break through the fourth level of transformation. Therefore, I sincerely invite you.”
"My mother will be alone with Senior Qin then."
"Senior Qin, you will understand when you see my mother."
"Oh, in that case, Qin will definitely go to the banquet on time to celebrate." Qin Ming suddenly realized, and then replied with a faint smile.
The little silver fox nodded, "Haha! I will be waiting for Senior Qin to come to you then, so I will go back first."
Qin Ming nodded, picked some spiritual fruits from the Little Spirit Realm and gave them to her, and then asked the Sky-eating Rat to escort the little silver fox back.
Yue Lingyan's achievement of the fourth-level Transformation Demon Saint will definitely be a big event that will cause a stir in the demon clan. By then, all the great demons may gather together.
He also did not expect that Yue Lingyan would warmly invite him to witness such a grand event.
"It seems that in just one year, the Fox Clan has completely established a firm foothold among the Monster Clan in the Beast Cry Mountains and has completely risen to prominence."
"Yue Lingyan, the newly promoted Demon Saint, is also quite resolute in her skills. We cannot just think of her as a female figure."
There was actually another reason why Qin Ming agreed to her invitation to attend the banquet.
That is one of the spiritual materials for refining the Ningying Dan, which is a fourth-level spiritual plant called "Transformation Demon Grass". This spiritual plant is also called the Demonic Accompanying Grass and only grows on fourth-level demon beasts. near the nest.
This shape-shifting demon grass absorbs the energy of the great demon from the fourth-order demonic beast over time, and takes over the creation of heaven and earth to give birth to it.
To the demon race, this demon grass is just a weed next to the nest, but to the human race, it is a rare treasure.
Even the opportunity to condense the baby!
Moreover, picking spiritual herbs under the nose of a fourth-level demon saint is the same as wishing for death.
Even the Yuanying stage monks of the human race don’t dare to do this.
And Qin Ming just had such a great opportunity to obtain the Transformation Demonic Grass.
Previously, Yue Lingyan had just broken through and become a fourth-level transformed demon. Naturally, such heaven and earth spiritual herbs would not be born near her cave.
But things are different now.
Qin Ming secretly estimated that such a long time had passed.
It stands to reason that the legendary 'Transformation Demon Grass' should have grown near Yue Lingyan's cave.
Qin Ming can take advantage of the opportunity to attend the banquet. With his close relationship with Yue Lingyan, it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask for a few Transformation Demonic Grasses from her.
"However, since you are asking for the Demonic Transformation Grass, you have to prepare some gifts, otherwise it will appear too abrupt."
"What should I give you?"
Qin Ming immediately thought about the gift.
After all, Yue Lingyan was a fourth-level demon saint, and he had to ask her for spiritual herbs, so the congratulatory gift shouldn't be too shabby.
He thought about it and couldn't think of anything he could do at the moment.
But suddenly he remembered someone.
"As one of the four major golden elixir families in the Jin Dynasty, the Su family has been a famous family for thousands of years in the Jin Dynasty. They must have collected a lot of good things. Why not let Su Yuqing give you this gift? Hehe!"
"Anyway, after getting the Demonic Transformation Grass, Brother Su also needs to refine the Ning Ying Dan, and his share is indispensable."
So, he said hello to the old Jia from Jingxue Pavilion, then left Lingtian alone, passed through the teleportation array in Wuxingshanfang City, and headed to Longting Lake in Zhongzhou.
As soon as he arrived in Wuxingshanfang City, he met Han Yuan and the others again.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist Lu, are you here to do business in Fang City?"
Han Yuan and the other three came up and asked with smiles on their faces.
"Long time no see. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Han and Fellow Daoist Liu! They have both broken through to the perfect state of foundation building." Qin Ming cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to fellow Daoist Lu! If it weren't for your Yuxuan Pill, I'm afraid the three of us would still be in the later stages, hehehe!"
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu has broken through to the third-level high-grade spiritual plant grand master. It's rare for you, a busy man, to see you now. No matter what, you have to have a few drinks with us before leaving."
Liu Ye said with a smile.
Qin Ming was actually not too anxious, so he accepted the warm invitation of the three of them and had a small gathering at Yufeng Tower in Fang City.
The three of them spent a lot of money to prepare a table full of wine and food for Qin Ming.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Han Yuan suddenly cast a soundproof barrier to cover the box, and then said to Qin Ming:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is extremely important news, and we have to remind you."
"Oh? What's the matter? Fellow Taoist Han, please tell me." Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the other party acting so cautiously.
Han Yuan said: "Recently, the upper echelons of our Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance intercepted a very important piece of information."
"It's because Shinto Mountain has been secretly communicating closely with the Yin Demon Sect in the Great Li Cultivation World recently."
"And the target is directed at the fourth-level spiritual veins of Five Elements Mountain. During this period, the Yin Demon Sect seems to have secretly funded a lot of things to Shendao Mountain."
"The largest number among them is a third-level spiritual seed called rotten grass, and there are also a group of third-level spiritual planters kidnapped by the Yin Demon Sect from outside. They were captured and taken to the Shinto Mountain. I don't know. What is the purpose?”
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are a third-rank high-quality spiritual plant grandmaster. Although you are the shopkeeper of Jingxue Pavilion and are protected by the Wandao Merchant Alliance."
"But these people from Shendao Mountain and Yinmo Sect are unscrupulous in doing things. So many spiritual plant masters have disappeared for no reason. You should be careful."
"Alas, Shendao Mountain seems to have been secretly funded by Yinmo Sect, and what they do is extremely secretive. It seems that only the top level can access it, and the Merchant Alliance can't find out what they are planning."
"I hope we don't start another war. The war between Lihuo Palace and Shendao Mountain has only been quiet for a few years."
"It seems that there will be another war. Fellow Daoist Lu should also be careful and make preparations in advance."
"If there is anything that needs our help, just ask."
Han Yuan said this and sighed heavily, because once the war started, they would definitely have to go on the battlefield.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for telling me!" Qin Ming offered a glass of wine.
"I didn't expect that Shendao Mountain and Yinmo Sect would start to collude secretly again."
"The storm is coming!"
After communicating with a few people for a while, Qin Ming said goodbye to them and stepped onto the teleportation array of Wuxing Mountain Market.
A moment later, he was teleported to Litianxian City in Zhongzhou.
Using the teleportation array like this is not something that ordinary cultivators can afford to use frequently. Most cultivators still rely on the magic boat to travel.
If you fly from Nanjiang to Zhongzhou, it will take a lot of time for the Jindan stage.
However, Qin Ming is now rich, so in order to save time, he directly chose to go through the teleportation array.
After leaving Litianxian City, he flew for two more days and arrived near Longting Lake.
Then.
Qin Ming sent a communication talisman to Su Yuqing.
After receiving the news, Su Yuqing immediately put down the things in his hands and came out in person.
"Brother Qin, why did you come here in person?"
"Can't you just ask your subordinate Hua Tianxiong to do it?"
"Thank you for the materials for the Shenmu Pill last time."
Su Yuqing was very happy to see Qin Ming again and invited him into his cave.
"Brother Su, you don't have to be polite. I still have a lot of materials anyway, hehe." Qin Ming said with a smile after sitting down.
"That's right, with your strength as a third-level spiritual plant grandmaster, what kind of spiritual materials can't you grow." Su Yuqing also smiled and poured him spiritual tea, "Brother Qin came to me from afar, I wonder what's the important matter?"
Qin Ming raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then told him about the preparation of the gift for Yue Lingyan.
"What???"
"Fourth-level shapeshifting demon saint!"
Su Yuqing was shocked after hearing this. No matter how he tried, he couldn't imagine that Qin Ming actually got to know a demon saint.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Brother Qin, you are really lucky. You have encountered such a good thing."
"You should know that the strength of the fourth-level transformed demon saint is comparable to the middle stage of the human Yuanying. Even the two ancestors of Lihuo Palace and Shendao Mountain are only in the early stage of Yuanying."
"You have such a powerful backer, don't forget me in the future."
"And your cultivation has broken through to the late Jindan so quickly. I'm afraid that when you collect all the materials for refining Ningying Pill and Bingxin Yupo Pill, you can prepare for the impact of Yuanying, right?"
Su Yuqing said enviously with a smile on his face.
"Haha! It's still early for the Yuanying stage, but I used the demon pill of the poisonous dragon to brew a kind of "Demon Flame Wine", which can be consumed in ten years."
"This wine can immediately increase the cultivation of a hundred years when it is consumed for the first time, allowing a late Jindan cultivator to break through to the perfection of Jindan." Qin Ming smiled lightly.
"Really? There is such a good wine in this world?"
Su Yuqing was very happy when he heard that there was such a wine, because he was now in the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and he was only one step away from reaching the state of perfection.
"Haha! Of course, Su Yu's share is indispensable." Qin Ming said meaningfully.
"You brought out so many good things and conditions, it seems that you are going to make me bleed a lot today?" Su Yuqing smiled and pointed at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming spread his hands and said, "Haha! Yue Lingyan invited me to the Fourth Level Demon Saint Ceremony, I can't go empty-handed, right?"
"By the way, I will ask her for some of the main material for refining Ningying Pills, 'Hua Xing Yao Cao', so that you can use it for refining pills at that time, right?"
"This spiritual grass is only found in the lair of the Hua Xing Great Demon, and it is difficult for you to get it, and the value is not low."
Su Yuqing nodded when he heard this, and felt that what Qin Ming said made sense.
After all, it was not a loss for him to exchange some resources for the Transformation Demon Grass.
After the two talked for a while.
Su Yuqing stood up and said to Qin Ming: "You wait here first."
"What you want is the bottom of the box even in our Su family. I have to ask our old man for it."
Then, Su Yuqing flew to a deep courtyard of the Su family in Longting Lake.
In an antique courtyard, a middle-aged man with silver hair was writing calligraphy and painting in the study.
The middle-aged man had a firm face and clear edges and corners. There was a strong spirit in his eyes, and he had perfected his golden elixir cultivation.
This man was the patriarch of the Su family, Su Yuqing's father Su Tiannan.
It was he who separated the Su family from the Lihuo Palace.
When Su Tiannan saw Su Yuqing coming in so hurriedly, he guessed that there was nothing good to find him, and then frowned and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
"Hey! Dad, this is a great thing!"
"Give me that fourth-level Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pearl. I'll use it!" Su Yuqing said straight to the point.
"Get lost!"
"What's the matter? Have you advanced to the fourth-level Dan King realm? You need this kind of spiritual object. This is the last of our family's assets. You can't afford it!" Su Tiannan jumped up and down like a cat whose tail was stepped on when he heard that he was here to ask for this fourth-level spiritual object.
"Alas! Dad, no matter how good this fourth-level spiritual object is, it is still a dead thing. It will just gather dust in our house. Why not give it to me to deal with? Do you really believe me!"
Su Tiannan put down the brush in his hand, turned around and asked:
"Then tell me, what do you want to do with this fourth-level Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Pearl?"
"This... is a secret for the time being." Su Yuqing replied awkwardly.
"Secret? No way!" Su Tiannan refused without hesitation.
Seeing that his father was unmoved, Su Yuqing immediately went forward to persuade him.
…
After two incense sticks.
Su Yuqing held an exquisite jade box in his hand, with a wry smile on his face, shook his head and walked towards Qin Ming.
Then he handed the Jade Emperor to Qin Ming, and said with pain:
"Brother Qin, you'd better not let me down. This fourth-level middle-grade Thousand Illusion Spirit Pearl really contains the most precious treasure in our Su family."
"For your sake, I promised my father to go on a blind date with the young lady of the Xin family. Oh~ don't mention it~"
"Brother Su, don't worry, I will definitely do it!" Qin Ming said confidently, and then opened the jade box in his hand.
He didn't expect that Su Yuqing would sacrifice his life to get this thing.
The next moment.
An amazing spiritual power surged out of the jade box, and a charming pink glow bloomed.
Even Qin Ming, whose powerful soul is now comparable to that of the Nascent Soul Stage, felt dazzled and almost fell into some powerful illusion.
He calmed down and saw a transparent black bead emitting colorful spiritual charm lying quietly inside, which was extremely magical.
"Brother Su, this is..."
"This is a fourth-level middle-grade spiritual object, the Thousand Illusion Spirit Bead, which has been passed down from my great-grandfather's generation to this day."
"It is said that it is one of the few treasures stored in the Lihuo Palace treasury at that time."
"As for the origin of this fourth-level spiritual object, it is said that the founder of the Lihuo Palace obtained it after killing a fourth-level middle-stage Dark Butterfly Demon Saint."
After listening to Su Yuqing's story, Qin Ming was a little shocked. He didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.
"Brother Su, don't worry, investment will definitely pay off."
Qin Ming put the treasure into the storage bag without leaving a trace, and said with a smile.
"Haha! That's naturally the best." Su Yuqing's handsome face twitched suddenly.
Qin Ming then remembered something and simply told the other party about the discovery of the Qingyuan Sect secret realm on Shendao Mountain.
After Su Yuqing heard it, she was also shocked.
"It's actually the mountain gate secret realm of the ancient Qingyuan Sect!"
"When I was studying ancient books, I also heard a little about the Qingyuan Sect. I didn't expect it to really exist, and it was in Dajin."
Qin Ming nodded and said: "According to my estimation, Shendao Mountain has secretly communicated with the Yinmo Sect of Dali, and tried hard to open this secret realm."
"Now it's already in action, but in my opinion, this news will definitely leak out by then."
"Because they use the method of using the night of the spiritual eye to make the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree bloom, it still takes a long time."
"The two sects travel so frequently in the Five Elements Mountains, which will inevitably attract the attention of other forces."
"By then, a fight is inevitable."
"Your Su family should also prepare in advance. I still advise Brother Su not to get involved in this secret realm fight. Lihuo Palace should also be careful."
"By then, I guess they will definitely let the family forces below go."
"Thank you Brother Qin for telling me. I will prepare in advance with the clan to deal with this change." Su Yuqing said gratefully.
Then.
Qin Ming exchanged his experience of alchemy with Su Yuqing for two days before leaving Longting Lake.
Then he returned to Wuxing Mountain Market through the teleportation array.
Half a month later.
The time was almost up, so Qin Ming took his three pets and went to Muxia Mountain to attend the banquet.
