Chapter 183 Secrets and Jade Mystic Pill
Gu Qingzhao heard that Qin Ming needed top-grade spirit stones.

He was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Fellow Daoist Qin, this top-grade spirit stone is extremely precious, and there are not many of them circulating in the market."

"But I'll try to keep an eye on it for you."

Qin Ming actually expected this to be the case. After all, high-quality spirit stones are too rare, so it is understandable that they are difficult to obtain.

The amount of spiritual energy and purity contained in top-grade spirit stones are extremely high, and they are not only suitable for high-level cultivators to practice, but are also commonly used to break through bottlenecks or refine high-level practice resources.

If Qin Ming wants to continue to improve the quality of the spiritual veins on Wangyue Island, he must use high-quality spirit stones.

However, for now, the third-level medium-grade spiritual vein is enough for him to practice, so there is no rush.

Just collect some in advance to be prepared.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, you should be aware of the matter of the demonic plant on Qianye Island, right?" Gu Qingzhao put away the pills on the table and asked with a serious expression.

Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, "On the way here, Alliance Leader Li already told me about it."

"The situation in Canghai Immortal City is indeed tense. I can understand that Master Nalan can't leave."

"But Lei Yuanzong, as the actual controller of Wei's cultivation world, is indifferent to this?"

"And the Golden Core Ancestor of Lingyu Sect."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhao raised his hand and cast a soundproof ban, then said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, there is a secret information. I heard that Lei Yuan Sect's Ao Patriarch's life span is about to end."

"According to the news that came back, Ancestor Ao has lived for more than 530 years."

"And he has already taken longevity pills several times. Even if he takes pills that increase his life span, it won't extend his life any further. I'm afraid he will die in a few years."

"So it's not that Patriarch Ao won't take action. If he does, even if he wins, he will most likely use up the last of his lifespan."

"There is another thing. Wei Wuya from Lei Yuan Sect has been in seclusion in secret. I heard that he is trying to achieve the Golden Core state in secret."

"With Wei Wuya's heavenly spiritual root aptitude, it is very likely that Lei Yuan Sect will give birth to another Golden Core Patriarch to continue the legacy of Patriarch Ao."

When Qin Ming heard the news, he was also surprised.

"If the Lei Yuan Sect loses its golden elixir combat power, then there is no doubt that the sect will only wither and fall."

"What's more, there is the Lingyu Sect watching closely."

'Lingyu Sect's Yuwen Patriarch is a newly promoted Jindan. He is not very old and his life span is estimated to be several hundred years.'

"If Patriarch Ao's life span runs out and he dies, and Wei Wuya fails in his attempt to form a golden elixir, or only forms a fake elixir."

"There is no need for Lingyu Sect to take action. Leiyuan Sect will soon become a thing of the past in the history of Wei's cultivation world."

'Everything will become a thing of the past.'

'Alas! It seems that the world of immortal cultivation really is a competition of who can live longer!'

'Why do I feel that my life span of 550 years is still not long enough?'

Qin Ming nodded and said to Gu Qingzhao: "It seems that Lei Yuanzong's current situation is not very good."

"According to the intelligence obtained by Alliance Leader Li, the third-level blood-cursed devil vine has reached the peak of the early golden elixir stage after years of growth by feeding on blood."

“I’m afraid it will take several Jindan ancestors to join forces to defeat it. It’s hard to say whether it can be completely eliminated.”

"Alliance Leader Li has gone to meet with Master Canghai. I hope there will be good news."

After hearing Qin Ming's words, everyone present looked unhappy.

Because this is information that Jingxue Pavilion has not yet mastered.

It concerns the safety of the entire Wei Kingdom's cultivation world.
Qin Ming communicated with everyone for half a day, sharing information with each other, and then said goodbye and left.

At night, the outer city of Canghai Fairy City was in ruins. Although the beast army had temporarily retreated, there would still be occasional attacks from monsters outside the city walls.

There are also many malicious people who want to make a fortune by relying on the beast tide, and there are also many robbers who take advantage of the chaos to rob.

This caused the monks on duty guarding the city a lot of headaches and they were exhausted.

The monks who died in the fight against the monsters were also carried out.

Not only the cultivators in Canghai Immortal City who fought against the beast tide, but even the independent cultivators suffered heavy casualties. Corpses were constantly cleared out and filled the streets of the outer city.

From time to time, bursts of sobbing could be heard, and the atmosphere was filled with sadness.

Qin Ming looked at the bleak scene in the outer city and sighed. After encountering such a natural disaster, a hundred years of cultivation had turned into nothing.

He stopped looking and followed the main road to the core area again. His goal was clear, and he went straight to Danding Pavilion.

The purpose of this trip is to gather some information along the way. After all, the recipe for the golden elixir he needs is in Xuanxi Valley, the force behind the Danding Pavilion.

Not for a moment.

Qin Ming was familiar with the route and walked to a building with simple decorations.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of Danding Pavilion, the petite female shopkeeper who had met him last time came up to him with a very warm attitude.

She even found it hard to believe that a cultivator like Master Qin would visit their Danding Pavilion during the beast tide outbreak.

"Master Qin, long time no see. Ever since we last met, I thought you would never come again!"

The female shopkeeper is named Xu Jing. According to Lu Liang, the Danding Pavilion of Xuanxi Valley in Canghai Fairy City has always been run by this woman, and she has a lot of experience.

Being appointed by the sect to run such an important industry, his background and status in Xuanxi Valley must not be too low.

Because setting up a shop in the core area of ​​Canghai Xiancheng can bring considerable profits, if you want to be the owner of a shop, you must at least have the background of an inner sect elder.

Qin Ming was thinking about it when he arrived.

How can we obtain information about Xuanxi Valley?

Qin Ming also thought about using his identity as a second-level superior master of dual skills to sneak into Xuanxi Valley.

But on the one hand, he still had to take care of his own Wangyue Island, and secondly, even if he obtained the recipe for the Golden Elixir, his target was too obvious and he would definitely be marked by Xuanxi Valley.

It seems that we can only take it step by step and not rush into anything.

"Haha! Isn't Qin here? Doesn't Manager Xu welcome me?" Qin Ming said with a smile.

Xu Jing knew that the other party was joking, so he smiled and said, "How could that be? Master Qin's coming here will naturally bring honor to our humble pavilion."

"Please take a seat in the private room. I will make a pot of spiritual tea for Master Qin."

Qin Ming followed Xu Jing to the luxurious private room on the fourth floor.

Xu Jing was dignified and reserved. She gently brewed spiritual tea for Qin Ming, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the Concentrating Tea grown by Master Qin is a unique tea in the world of immortal cultivation in Lingqi Islands."

"I don't know if our spiritual tea will not suit Fellow Daoist Qin's taste."

Qin Ming smiled calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Manager Xu is really good at joking. This spiritual tea has reached the second-level middle level, which is slightly better than my Concentrating Tea."

"It shouldn't be grown by an ordinary cultivator, right?"

"Also, Shopkeeper Xu, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Qin. There's no need to be too restrained."

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Qin." Xu Jing nodded gently, and then she continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin is worthy of being the top spiritual plant master in Wei State. He can tell the quality of my spiritual tea with just one sip."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is right. This tea is called Hanjing Tea. It has harsh growing conditions. It was cultivated by an elder in the family. There is only one plant and the quantity is scarce. I have been begging the elder for a long time before I got a few kilograms. Today, Fellow Daoist Qin came and I made a pot specially for you." Qin Ming sipped the tea. When he heard the four words "family elder", his eyes lit up.

"Then Qin is really honored to be able to drink this tea."

"I wonder who the elder of Shopkeeper Xu is? Is he also a spiritual plant master?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

Xu Jing was stunned when he heard this, but he still said bluntly: "That's right, Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm sure Fellow Daoist Lu Liang should have told you that our Dan Ding Pavilion is an industry of the Xuanxi Valley in the Liang Kingdom's Xiuxian World."

"That elder of mine is my grandfather, haha!"

"He is currently serving as an elder in the Spiritual Medicine Garden of the inner gate of Xuanxi Valley. In fact, he is also a spiritual plant master like Fellow Daoist Qin."

"It's just that my skill level is lower than that of Fellow Daoist Qin. I'm only a second-level mid-grade spiritual plant master."

Qin Ming has a good reputation in Canghai Fairy City, so Xu Jing did not hide much about his background, perhaps hoping to use this to bring the two sides closer.

Ever since the moment Qin Ming came in, she had been thinking about how to poach this great god from Jingxue Pavilion.

"Oh? Really? Then I can discuss the way of spiritual plants with your grandfather if I have the chance." Qin Ming said slowly.

Seeing Qin Ming's attitude, Xu Jing was very happy, so he said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you serious? My grandfather has also heard of Fellow Daoist Qin for a long time."

"If he had the opportunity to communicate with a spiritual plant master like you, he would be extremely happy."

"I will remember to tell him."

Qin Ming stopped there and didn't talk about this topic any more, otherwise it would be too obvious and that would not be good.

"The purpose of my visit is to sell a batch of medicinal pills to your pavilion, and to purchase some medicinal recipes by the way."

Xu Jing's eyes lit up when she heard this, "That's great!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. When it comes to high-level pill recipes, I think this pavilion is the only one in the entire Canghai Immortal City that has sufficient reserves."

Qin Ming then took out two exquisite jade bottles and placed them on the table.

Xu Jing took the jade bottle and opened it. In each bottle lay five red elixirs, emitting amazing spiritual energy. She could not help but stand there in shock: "Second-level intermediate elixirs: Blood Elixir and Bone Blood Elixir!!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin Qin, you succeeded in refining it so quickly?"

You know, a second-grade mid-quality elixir is not so easy to refine. She originally thought that Qin Ming would definitely not be able to refine this elixir within three to five years.

Because even the second-level top-grade alchemist in Xuanxi Valley had a high failure rate when refining these two kinds of pills, and he had been studying them continuously for ten years.

"I was just lucky." Qin Ming said modestly.

Xu Jing's beautiful eyes moved, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, these Blood-Blood Pills and Blood-Bone Pills are holy items for body-refining cultivators."

"It is of great value. I can make the decision and accept it at 50,000 Spiritual Stones per bottle, which is slightly higher than the market price by 20%."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Qin?"

"Also, if you, Fellow Daoist Qin, purchase the pill formula, I can also give you a 30% discount."

Qin Ming nodded when he heard this. The conditions she offered were already quite good.

Moreover, these two bottles of Blood Pill and Blood Bone Pill were not made with the flesh and blood of the demon ape, but with the flesh and blood of other second-level monsters. The effect is definitely not as good as what he used himself.

"make a deal."

Xu Jing was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qin to be so straightforward. She was still wondering whether she should make another concession.

Fellow Daoist Qin saw that Shopkeeper Xu looked excited and smiled slightly. Little did she know that she had other intentions than this.

"I don't know what kind of pill recipe Fellow Daoist Qin needs. I will charge you for it all at once." Xu Jing said with a smile.

Qin Ming thought about it, and then said: "Give me a copy of the highest-level pill recipe you have here."

"It saves me from having to make extra trips."

Xu Jing was stunned after hearing this, and after a moment he replied awkwardly: "Fellow Daoist Qin, the highest-level pill recipe in our pavilion, apart from the Blood Elixir and Blood Bone Elixir recipes you bought before, only one second-level superior pill recipe is left."

Then she took out the animal skin pill recipe and handed it to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you think it's useful?"

Qin Ming took the recipe and looked at it, only to see three tiny seal characters "Yuxuan Pill" written on it.

This recipe only contains half of the medicine, and it is obvious that Xu Jing cannot really show him the whole recipe.

However, after reading the first half, Qin Ming became very interested in the Yuxuan Pill.

Because this pill not only has the effect of stabilizing and widening the meridians, but also can enhance the magic power of cultivators in the late stage of foundation building and those who have completed the foundation building.

It is the best elixir for the transition from the foundation-building stage to the perfect stage, and its drug resistance is extremely low and can almost be ignored.

However, as a second-grade top-grade elixir, the difficulty of refining it is beyond belief.

Even in Xuanxi Valley, only Liang State's only third-rank alchemy master has the confidence to refine this pill.

In addition to the difficulty of refining, the spiritual materials are also extremely hard to find, and they are all some second-grade high-quality spiritual herbs.

After Qin Ming finished reading the recipe, he was also very interested and said immediately: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I want this recipe. In addition, I also want to buy some of the spiritual materials in the recipe."

"what?!"

"Is Fellow Daoist Qin preparing to refine the Jade Mystic Pill?"

Xu Jing opened her mouth wide, so surprised that she could hardly speak.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, looking calm and composed.

In fact, he had asked Su Yuqing for several second-grade top-grade pill recipes long before.

Moreover, two of the top-grade elixirs have been successfully refined. His spiritual power has now caught up with the perfection of foundation building and is almost reaching the spiritual strength of the Fake Dan Ancestor.

Refining high-level elixirs is even easier than before.

"Well, let's just try it. I'm not very confident." Qin Ming said after thinking for a while.

Xu Jing calmed down and said after a moment of hesitation, "This pavilion has most of the spiritual materials needed to refine the Jade Mystic Pill, but it's missing one."

"However, the pavilion does not have these things in stock. They need to be transferred from the sect, which may delay some time." Xu Jing explained.

Qin Ming heard this and asked, "What kind of spiritual material is missing?"

"The second-grade top-grade spiritual plant Seven-Leaf Dark Ganoderma is extremely difficult to find. Even in Xuanxi Valley, it has not been cultivated."

Qin Ming nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I'll take the recipe first. When will the other spiritual materials arrive?"

"Under normal circumstances, it can be delivered within half a month, but now that monsters are rampant outside, it is estimated that it will take more than three months to reach Canghai Xiancheng."

"This is because the beast tide in our Liang country has been basically pacified." Xu Jing said this with a proud look on his face.

Qin Ming naturally knew what she meant. There was more than one Jindan ancestor in charge of Xuanxi Valley. To eliminate the beast tide, it would naturally be a matter of sprinkling water.

Moreover, those high-level monsters are not stupid. They know that there are many high-level cultivators in Liang State and will not fall into the trap.

"Haha! With a big sect like Xuanxi Valley here, the safety of Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world will naturally be safe." Qin Ming also complimented at the right time.

"Then, is Fellow Daoist Qin willing to join my Xuanxi Valley? I can ask my grandfather to introduce you. With Fellow Daoist Qin's reputation and skill level, the higher-ups in the sect will definitely be eager to have you."
