Chapter 170: Beast Migration
After getting the recipe for the elixir, Lu Liang took Qin Ming to visit several shops and bought several other auxiliary materials for alchemy.

"The resources in this core area are really richer than those outside." Qin Ming chatted with Lu Liang as they walked.

Lu Liang smiled calmly and said, "Of course, the high-quality products of the four countries are all circulated here. I am only showing Fellow Daoist Qin a small part of it today."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you can come here often in the future. Every once in a while, there will be exchange meetings between foundation-building cultivators from various countries in the core area."

After the matter was done, Lu Liang cordially invited Qin Ming to visit his house.

Qin Ming had no choice but to agree.

Lu Liang’s practice residence is located in a high-end residential area in the core area. Although it is not as good as the cave on Canghai Peak, it is also rich in spiritual energy.

He took Qin Ming through the alleys of the residential area and came to a quiet villa covering a large area.

It is many times better than the houses in the inner and outer cities.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is worthy of being the senior deacon of Canghai Immortal City. The environment here is really good. It should have a second-grade superior spiritual vein environment, right?" Qin Ming looked around his mansion and asked casually.

Hearing this, Lu Liang said with a bit of complacency: "Fellow Daoist Qin, this villa was also given to me by the city lord when I was promoted."

After entering the courtyard, Lu Liang personally made a pot of spiritual tea for Qin Ming, and ordered the servants to prepare a table of wine and food, all of which were specialties of this area.

When the two of them were halfway through their meal, Lu Liang seemed to have something to say. He took out a jade box from his arms and placed it in front of Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, take a look at this."

Fellow Daoist Qin took the jade box and opened it, and asked in surprise, "A second-level, mid-grade demon pill with wind attribute?"

"Mr. Lu has an unreasonable request. I wonder if Brother Qin can agree to it?" Lu Liang asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Qin Ming frowned when he heard this, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu wants me to use this demon pill to refine a pill?"

"Hehe! That's right, but what I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Qin to refine is the Foundation Establishment Pill." Lu Liang explained, and then he took out a pill recipe and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming looked at the pill recipe in his hand and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "A recipe for the demon pill to make the foundation-building pill?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you refining the foundation-building pills for the younger generation?"

Lü Liang then sighed and said, "Hey! Fellow Daoist Qin is right. I have a beloved disciple with decent aptitude. He has been cultivating to the perfection of the Qi training stage for several years, but he has not been able to break through because he does not have a foundation-building pill."

"She herself wanted to accumulate resources, so she took risks and followed the demon-hunting team from Xiancheng to the Beast-Screaming Mountains every few days. I couldn't stop her."

"I'm not forced into any other options. I've already got the recipe and gathered all the spiritual materials."

"My original plan was to ask Master Alchemist Sun Jinnian to help me refine it."

"However, now that Fellow Daoist Qin is here, I can ask for your help."

"As for the conditions for the sale, this recipe will belong to Fellow Daoist Qin. Apart from that, if the Foundation Establishment Pill is successfully refined, I will only take half of it, and the rest will also belong to Fellow Daoist Qin."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, take a look."

After listening to Lu Liang's words, Qin Ming thought about it for a while. Since the materials and the pill formula were provided by the other party, he could get a pill formula and a foundation-building pill for free.

That's not a bad idea.

So Qin Ming nodded and agreed, "Fellow Daoist Lu loves his disciple very much, I can promise to help you refine it."

"Really? That's great, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"I am grateful for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, just let me know." Lu Liang stood up and bowed to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was also caught off guard by this. "Fellow Daoist Lu, there is no need to do this. We are just taking what we need. It just so happens that I am quite interested in this recipe."

"It's just that I have never used demon pills to refine foundation-building pills before, so I have to explain the situation to Fellow Daoist Lu in advance."

"Ah? Then this is the first time."

Lu Liang's face twitched when he heard this. The other materials were easy to come by, but there was only one second-stage middle-stage demon pill. If he failed, then
While Lu Liang was hesitating, a beautiful female cultivator came in hurriedly from outside. She was full of energy and vigor, about 21 or 22 years old. She rushed into the room with an excited look on her face.

"Master, I'm back, look what I got!"

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"Hmph! Master, you've been secretly eating meat while I'm away, right?! What delicious food are you preparing?"

Seeing her carefree appearance, completely devoid of girlish reserve, Lu Liang couldn't help but blush and shouted angrily: "What are you making a fuss about? You are so old, how can you behave like this!"

"Don't you see there are guests?"

The woman was holding something in her hand. She looked into the room and realized that Qin Ming was there. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and bowed to him, saying, "So there is a senior here. I am sorry for being rude."

"It's okay." Qin Ming smiled and didn't care.

Lu Liang then turned to Qin Ming and introduced him, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Qin. This is my disciple. Her name is Lu Wanjun. I adopted her since she was a child."

Then Lu Liang glared at his beloved disciple again, "Why don't you come and pay your respects to Senior Qin Ming!" "I took great pains to ask Brother Qin to help you refine the foundation-building pill, but you keep giving me trouble all day long."

When Lu Wanjun heard this, her clever eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "Wanjun greets Senior Qin!"

Naturally, she had heard of Qin Ming's name, and she admired this master of both spiritual plants and alchemy who came from a casual cultivator background.

"Haha! No need to be so polite." Qin Ming said with a smile, and then took out a bottle of elixir for strengthening the body and nourishing the essence in the Qi training period. It was unknown from which dead ghost's storage bag he took it out, and he handed it to Lu Wanjun as a gift.

Lu Wanjun's eyes sparkled, and she quickly took the jade bottle and thanked Qin Ming with great joy: "Thank you, Senior Qin, for the elixir!"

"You're welcome." Qin Ming smiled slightly.

Lu Liang sighed and said, "Hey! I came here to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Qin, how can I let you spend money?"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing to worry about. Brother Lu, don't worry about it." Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Master, look at what this is?" Lu Wanjun stretched out her white hand in front of the two of them and then spread it out.

She saw a round, egg-sized object lying quietly in the palm of her hand.

"Second-stage initial stage demon pill!" Lu Liang couldn't help but exclaimed, and even Qin Ming next to him showed a look of doubt.

It would be quite normal if this demon pill appeared in the hands of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But Lu Wanjun has only reached the perfect stage of Qi training, which is a bit unbelievable.
"Where did you get it?" Lu Liang asked seriously with a frown.

Seeing that her master was getting serious, Lu Wanjun immediately shrank her neck and whispered sadly, "Master, my demon hunting team accidentally encountered a seriously injured and dying scaly fire lizard on the outskirts of the Beast Singing Mountains. After we worked together to kill it, an internal conflict broke out in the team. I took advantage of the situation and secretly took the fire lizard's demon pill and ran back."

"If it weren't for the life-saving magic tools and talismans that Master gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

Lu Wanjun's words made the two men secretly frightened. This little girl is really brave.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, your beloved disciple is really lucky, haha!" Qin Ming said with a smile.

Lu Liang then said to Qin Ming: "Now that we have two demon pills, it is like double insurance. Then please ask Brother Qin to start refining them!"

Qin Ming nodded.

"By the way, Wanjun, how come there is a dying second-level monster appearing on the outskirts of the Beast Singing Mountains?" Lu Liang suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanjun replied in a serious tone, "There have indeed been some anomalies in the Beast Singing Mountains in recent times. Many monsters have left their original territories and migrated out."

"Many demon hunting teams have made great gains."

"There are also many teams that have encountered large numbers of monsters, and their whereabouts are still unknown."

She recounted in detail what she had seen and heard during her trip to the Beast Screaming Mountains, and then looked at the two foundation-building monks.

"The demon beasts in the Beast Roaring Mountains have begun to migrate outward on a large scale?!"

Lu Liang's expression suddenly became solemn. "This kind of situation has happened before in the history of the Immortal City. One is to seek revenge like the demon ape with double pupils. The other is that a new third-level demon king is born in the depths of the mountains and drives other demon beasts to expand their territory."

"No matter what the situation is, I'm afraid that a new wave of beasts will come." As an old man in Canghai Fairy City, Lu Liang could easily guess the specific reason based on the frequent movements of monsters before.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, if it is the second case, it means that the scale of this beast tide will be dozens of times larger than the last time. Not only the Immortal City, but even the Lingqi Islands will be within its impact range. We must prepare early!"

In the history of the four countries in the Southern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world, there have been cases where they were attacked by beast tides and ravaged the area.

The markets and passes built near the Beast-Screaming Mountains were originally used to block monsters.

As the 'Canghai Fairy City' is located at the junction of four countries, it is of utmost importance. Once a war breaks out, the Fairy City will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

“However, as the first holy land for independent cultivators, Canghai Immortal City has experienced hundreds of large and small beast attacks over the past few hundred years.”

“There has never been a case of it being breached.”

Qin Ming also frowned, but after hearing what Lu Liang said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen it before. At that time, the Demon Ape led an overwhelming army of monsters to sweep across Qianye Spirit Island, leaving almost no grass growing wherever it passed.

If this beast tide is larger than the last one, we must be cautious.

"It seems that the demon ape tide is just an appetizer, and bigger ones are still to come."

Even his Moon-Watching Island had to consider strengthening its defenses.

"Okay, in that case, I will now refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for Fellow Daoist Lu." Qin Ming felt that the situation was somewhat urgent. After finishing the work, he had to return to Wangyue Island immediately.

Upon hearing this, Lu Liang revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked uncertainly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, how about you stay with me for a while longer, study the pill formula more, and then start refining it?"

Because less than half a quarter of an hour had passed since he gave Qin Ming the recipe.
Qin Ming just glanced at the recipe casually. Are all alchemy masters so casual?
Lu Liang was suddenly at a loss. In order to collect the spiritual materials needed to refine the foundation-building pill, he, who was in the middle stage of foundation-building, spent a lot of money and almost spent half of his savings.

If he failed to refine two second-level demon pills in a row, he would have no place to cry.
