Chapter 250 Locking the position
Qin Ming sensed it with his divine sense and knew that this was a cultivator in the False Dan stage.

Then he took out the elder token and handed it to the other party.

After the old man guarding the gate of the Gongfa Pavilion took the token, he deducted 100 contribution points and returned the token to Qin Ming. Then he said nonchalantly, "Okay, go in."

Qin Ming put away the token and walked in.

After entering the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, he discovered that the space inside was very large. It was filled with rows of jade slips containing martial arts techniques, as well as other secret techniques, books on the various arts of cultivation, and the like.

Most of the disciples in the Xuanxi Valley on the first floor were in the Qi training stage. When they saw Qin Ming, a guest elder in the foundation building stage, coming in, they all bowed and greeted him.

Qin Ming nodded slightly in response and went straight to the third floor. When he got here, there were suddenly fewer people. There were only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who were consulting classics inside.

He wandered around casually and found quite a few top-level skills and secret techniques, but they were far inferior to what was in Qin Ming's storage bag.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and went up to the fifth floor. The space inside began to become empty.

Books on martial arts techniques became scarce, and Qin Ming was almost the only cultivator who came up.

An hour passed.

Seeing that there was no one around, he secretly sent a message to the Sky-Devouring Rat:

"Do you have a way to get beyond the fifth floor?"

“It must be done without anyone noticing”

"If you are discovered, you will be turned into a rat by Xuanxi Valley."

"Hehe! Master, the restrictions here are not strong. I can come and go freely without being discovered." The voice of the Sky-Devouring Rat sounded in Qin Ming's mind.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming said, "Okay, go in there, and if you find the golden elixir recipe, help me copy it."

"Well, but I don't know what the recipe for making the golden elixir is like." The Sky-Eating Rat replied awkwardly.

Qin Ming said to it, "Generally, the name of the pill recipe will be written. Or you can see if there are pill recipes with the two main ingredients, Fire Bath Golden Lotus and Huanyou True Yin Flower, and copy them down."

"Okay, Master, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Then Qin Ming released the Sky-Devouring Rat. As soon as it came out, it flashed into the void and disappeared.

A ripple appeared in the void, and the Sky-Devouring Rat sneaked into the stairs to the sixth floor.

Qin Ming pretended to be checking the classics on the fifth floor, waiting for the Sky-Devouring Rat to come back.

He was quite confident in the abilities of the Sky-Devouring Rat.

When it fled to Wangyue Island, it was able to pass through the third-level intermediate formation it had set up without being noticed, and also evaded Qin Ming's detection that was comparable to that of the Jindan stage. This is enough to show how powerful its magical powers are.

Time passed little by little.

After more than an hour, the Sky-Devouring Rat ran back and got into Qin Ming's storage bag.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Qin Ming asked expectantly.

The Sky Devouring Rat transmitted his voice and said, "Master, I have been to the sixth to eighth floors, and I have not found the golden elixir formula you mentioned."

"But there are quite a few high-level techniques of the human race in it. They are all top-level techniques passed down in secret by Xuanxi Valley. Do you want me to get them for you? Hehe!"

Qin Ming shook his head after hearing this, a little regretful: "Then it seems to be somewhere else."

Afterwards, Qin Ming walked out of the Dharma Teaching Pavilion with a calm expression.

The old man with fake Dan guarding the gate glanced at Qin Ming, didn't find anything unusual, and then dozed off again.

……

There was a crowd of people on the mission square of Qianyuan Peak.

Yan Ruyan, as usual, was ready to accept the mission in exchange for some cultivation resources.

Not long ago, she had almost spent all her savings over the years in order to break through to the late stage of Qi training. She was now penniless and was relying on the monthly salary from the sect to survive.

Two Soul-Nourishing Pills and twenty soul stones every month.

But for her, these cultivation resources are far from enough.

at this time.

She saw a large group of people gathered around a task wall, so she went over.

"Wow! Which elder is so generous?"

"The task of planting spiritual plants actually contributes points to the sect!"

"This is almost as much as the reward for a Class B mission."

"It was released by Elder Yu of Yuzhu Forest!"

"Come on, hurry up and grab the mission. Planting spiritual plants will definitely require a lot of manpower. If you are late, there will be no vacancies."

Afterwards, many monks went to the Deacon Hall to receive their tasks.

After seeing the notice on the task bar, Yan Ruyan couldn't help but doubt her life.

"Is this still the stingy elder?"

She stood there thinking for a long time, then gritted her teeth and ran towards the Deacon's Hall.

……

Polygonatum odoratum forest.

After Qin Ming came back, he was lying on a recliner in the bamboo forest, secretly thinking about the most likely places where the elixir recipe might be.

However, he only saw a large group of Qi training disciples from Xuanxi Valley outside, all running towards him.

"Elder Yu, I'm here to take on a mission. I'm at the sixth level of Qi training and have a year's worth of experience in growing spiritual rice."

"Me too. I am a first-class mid-level spiritual plant master with rich planting experience!"

"Elder Yu, do you think I can do it?"

Yan Ruyan didn't expect the competition to be so fierce, so she had to bite the bullet and said weakly: "I am a junior who has reached the late seventh level of Qi training, has experience in planting low-level spiritual herbs, and can endure hardships." Qin Ming also didn't expect that a task he casually issued would attract so many disciples.
"Is this the allure of sect contribution points?" He couldn't help but curl his lips and sighed.

Then he scanned the crowd, his eyes fell on a familiar figure, and he immediately said:

"It's just you, everyone else can go away."

Qin Ming pointed at Yan Ruyan and said calmly.

Compared with other disciples, Yan Ruyan did not have much advantage and she had originally given up hope, but she did not expect that the old man Yu would choose her.

She pointed at her nose in disbelief and asked weakly, "Is it me?"

"Yes, that's right, it's you." Qin Ming nodded.

"Elder Yu, I am also hardworking and willing to endure hardships. Would you consider me?"

"I have my own ideas, and the others can all go away."

But after a while, Yan Ruyan was the only one standing in the Polygonatum odoratum forest.

She was a little confused, then looked around and asked uncertainly, "Am I the only one of my race?"

"Why? Didn't you say you were hardworking?"

"If you change your mind, there's still time." Qin Ming said lightly.

Yan Ruyan nodded quickly and said, "No, no, no, I am willing."

Then Qin Ming threw her a spiritual hoe and the purple crystal rice spiritual seeds he bought from the spiritual medicine garden, and returned to the house.

Let her play freely
outside.

Yan Ruyan looked at the dozens of acres of wasteland in the Polygonatum odoratum forest, holding the magic hoe, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

'No wonder there are sect contribution points. This reward is not that easy to get.'

However, forced by reality, she had no choice but to pick up the magic hoe and start digging the ground.

Qin Ming looked at Yan Ruyan who was sweating profusely outside, and had no intention of showing any sympathy to her.

Three days later.

He came to the side of the house, dug half an acre of land, and planted a dozen second-grade low-quality spiritual herbs and several second-grade medium-quality spiritual herbs to complete the mission of being a guest official in Xuanxi Valley.

Yan Ruyan saw him doing this from a distance and could not help but stand there in shock, muttering, "No way? Planting a second-level spiritual plant is so simple?!"

……

Another half year has passed.

During this period of time, Yan Ruyan worked hard every day and was busy in the fields, and finally grew first-grade purple crystal rice.

Of course, Qin Ming's guidance was indispensable during the period, but it was not much, and basically everything was done by herself.

Over the past six months, Yan Ruyan's delicate skin has been tanned into a wheat-colored color.

What surprised her the most was that all the second-level spiritual plants that Elder Yu had casually planted actually survived and grew to two inches tall.

She didn't see how the other party took care of the plants. They were almost left alone to grow them. The growth of these spiritual herbs was even better than those in the sect's spiritual medicine garden.

With Qin Ming's current level of attainment in spiritual plants, coupled with the Ancient Tree Evergreen Body's natural super affinity for plants, and with the blessing of the Four Seasons Divine Light, planting these second-level spiritual medicines is extremely easy.

inside the house.

Qin Ming has been farming for the past six months, but in fact he has been secretly looking for the whereabouts of the golden elixir recipe.

Not long ago, he finally determined the location of the pill recipe.

That is in the Sutra Library of Luoyun Peak, one of the three forbidden areas in Xuanxi Valley!

However, the one guarding the Sutra Repository is the Jindan Wan Patriarch of Xuanxi Valley.

This made Qin Ming a little troubled. If the Sky-Devouring Rat could recover to its peak state as a third-level demon king, he would naturally be willing to give it a try.

But now, the second-stage perfect Sky-Devouring Rat is facing the Golden Core Ancestor, and he is also a veteran Golden Core from Xuanxi Valley with profound background. Even if it has great magical powers, it is still very likely to be exposed.

"I am determined to get the recipe, but I need to wait for the right time to act."

Qin Ming thought for a while and took out a pill recipe.

This pill recipe is called "Zhurong Pill", it is a third-tier elixir that can greatly help spiritual pets recover their essence.

According to the recipe of the elixir, this elixir was developed by a certain spiritual beast sect within the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

Later, he drifted to Lihuo Palace and was brought back to Liang State by the founder of Xuanxi Valley.

This recipe was obtained by Qin Ming from a fake alchemy ancestor at Danxia Peak in Xuanxi Valley when he was searching for the recipe for the Golden Elixir.

To this end, he even expended his energy to perform the "Heavenly Demon Entering Dream Technique" from the "Yuansha Zhongmo True Scripture".

Once this kind of magic secret technique is performed, it can force people into dreams and tamper with other people's memories.

However, there is a strict requirement for performing this technique, and that is that the soul must be several times stronger than that of the person being cast.

Otherwise, if you are attacked by backlash, you will either die or become an insane person.

Qin Ming thought for a long time, then sent a voice message to the Sky-Devouring Rat and asked:
"If you recover your peak strength, are you sure you can copy the golden elixir recipe under the eyes of that old ancestor Wan?"

"Hehehe! Master, of course, when I was at my strongest, my innate bloodline magical power could break through the third-order upper-grade restriction, and my void walking magical power could even completely deceive the late Jindan ancestors without being discovered."

"Okay then, I'll help you recover your strength first." Qin Ming was determined when he heard that.

"Really? That's great! I'll serve you till death."

"Alright, alright! To refine Zhurong Pills, we need third-level spiritual materials, and we have to go to Moyuan Immortal City to buy them."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.
