Chapter 252: The Golden Pill Recipe is in Hand
Under the cliff.

Two huge spiritual energy whirlpools appeared in the sky again, and the Black Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee were on the verge of a breakthrough.

boom!
With the endless spiritual energy, it poured in like a flood.

Two astonishing spiritual pressures suddenly appeared at the bottom of the cliff.

With Qin Ming's accumulation of resources, the Black Water Crocodile and the Silver-Winged Frost Bee both broke through to the second-level perfect demon.

He is only one step away from becoming a third-level demon king.

“Although this third-level Zhurong Pill is not an elixir for improving the cultivation of monsters, as an elixir for restoring the original power, it still has a significant improvement effect on second-level monsters.”

Qin Ming was very pleased to see the breakthroughs made by the two pets that had followed him for many years.

As soon as the Black Water Crocodile and the Silver-Winged Frost Bee broke through, they flew back to Qin Ming, shrank their bodies, and surrounded him and rubbed against him.

Qin Ming could also feel that the two spirit beasts were very excited after their breakthrough.

Especially the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, which went from an ordinary queen bee of low rank to a perfect second-rank demon step by step. One can imagine the mental journey it went through.

"Everything is ready."

"Now we can prepare to take action."

The strength of Qin Ming's several spiritual pets has greatly increased after being fed with third-level elixirs. Now they can withstand any blow even if they encounter a Jindan-stage cultivator.

However, he did not return to Xuanxi Valley immediately, but rested in the cave on the cliff for a few days, allowing the three spirit pets to consolidate their cultivation.

Three days later.

Qin Ming rode on the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, put the Black Water Crocodile and the Silver-Winged Frost Bee into the spirit beast bag, and flew towards the direction of Xuanxi Valley.

After the Silver-Winged Frost Bee broke through, its flying speed increased again, carrying Qin Ming and turning into a silver stream of light, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Its speed now is comparable to the full-strength escape speed of a real person in the early stage of Jindan.

After riding the Silver-Winged Frost Bee at lightning speed for two days, Qin Ming returned to the vicinity of Xuanxi Valley. He collected the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, transformed into the appearance of "Yu Changqing", and then flew into the mountain gate.

The first thing he did when he returned to Xuanxi Valley was to report to Qianyuan Peak for registration. Only after completing the registration did he return to Yuzhulin.

However, when Qin Ming was returning to the sect, he discovered that Xuanxi Valley was mobilizing a large number of cultivators, who were boarding magic ships to carry out unknown missions.

The entire sect was also filled with a tense atmosphere.

Qin Ming shook his head indifferently. It was none of his business anyway.

……

In the bamboo forest.

As soon as Qin Ming came back, he saw Yan Ruyan working in the spiritual field, carefully removing weeds and pests.

Dozens of acres of purple crystal rice fields were managed by her in an orderly manner.

When she saw Qin Ming coming back, she quickly bowed to him respectfully: "Elder Yu."

"Yeah." Qin Ming responded lightly and went back into the house.

Yan Ruyan looked at Yu Changqing's departing back and muttered in her heart, "This Elder Yu has a really weird temper."

Then she picked up the magic hoe in her hand and went to work.

inside the house.

Qin Ming had just sat down when the voice of the Sky-Devouring Rat came from the spirit beast bag:
"Master, shall I go and steal the Golden Elixir recipe back now?"

"Well, let's wait for two more days. Why do I feel that the situation in Xuanxi Valley seems a little strange?" Qin Ming said after a little thought.

"Well."

Afterwards, Qin Ming stayed in the room alone for a while, and then called Yan Ruyan, who was working in the spiritual field outside, in.

Yan Ruyan performed a cleaning spell to clear the dirt off her body before entering the house.

She bowed to Qin Mingying and said, "Elder Yu, are you looking for me?"

Qin Ming looked at Yan Ruyan's appearance. She no longer looked like the elegant fairy she once was. After farming for half a year, she gradually became more like a village woman.
"Please sit down." Qin Ming said lightly, and then poured her a cup of tea.

Yan Ruyan was somewhat flattered when she heard this, and she couldn't figure out what Elder Yu was going to do.

It's rare that he takes the initiative to invite her over, and his attitude is so warm.

The sun really came out in the west.

"I went out to do some work, and when I came back I found that the atmosphere in the sect was a little strange."

"What happened while I was away?" Qin Ming asked.

Yan Ruyan nodded and replied truthfully, "Just a few days ago, the monsters from the Beast Singing Mountains attacked Moyuan Immortal City and the outer areas of our sect."

"I don't know much about the situation outside, but I heard from my senior sisters that there seemed to be several third-level demon kings."

"And a great battle broke out, but it was all powerfully repelled by Qingxuan Patriarch."

"With the strength of our Xuanxi Valley, those monsters should be wiped out soon."

After listening to this, Qin Ming fell into deep thought.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid things are not as simple as they seem. After all, his premonitions have never been wrong.

After chatting with Yan Ruyan for a while and teaching her some techniques on growing spiritual rice, he let her leave.

Another five days passed.

This day.

As Qin Ming expected, the warning bell in Xuanxi Valley rang loudly, spreading throughout the entire sect.

Countless disciples of Xuanxi Valley were facing a formidable enemy. The sect's great formation was activated at full power, and the blue light curtain exuded terrifying aura and power.

Qin Ming also flew out of the house to observe the situation, but saw Di Shan from Wusongling next door also came out to watch, and their eyes met. Di Shan saw Yu Changqing coming out, and immediately came over and said: "Yu Daoyou, do you know what happened?"

"I guess it has something to do with the beast tide." Qin Ming said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Di Shan came over and set up a soundproof barrier between the two of them, then he said to him mysteriously, "You only know one side of the story."

"I heard that last time, a terrifying late-stage third-order half-transformed monster appeared and fought with Qingxuan Patriarch for three days and three nights near the Beast Singing Mountains."

"Even Ancestor Qingxuan was injured."

"Alas! It seems that the timing for us to join Xuanxi Valley is not right."

Qin Ming's heart was moved when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that even a powerful ancestor in the late Jindan stage was injured. It's most likely that the third-stage green-faced poisonous dragon behind the demon clan took action."

"Master, it must be the Green-faced Poisonous Dragon. It is the only one among the monsters that has such strength." The Sky-Devouring Rat heard the conversation between the two and spoke to Qin Ming in a serious tone.

Qin Ming had several thoughts in his mind, and immediately sent a message to the Sky-Devouring Rat: "The Xuanxi Valley is in chaos now, and it is estimated that the defense on Luoyun Peak has also been withdrawn."

"Let's prepare and wait for the opportunity to take action."

"Hey! Okay!"

Afterwards, Qin Ming had a brief exchange with Di Shan and returned to the wooden house.

Among the guest officials they recruited, except for those in the late foundation building stage with high cultivation strength, old spiritual plant masters like Di Shan and Yu Changqing would basically not be sent to the battlefield, and at most they would be responsible for logistics.

Qin Ming transformed himself into a logistics disciple again, secretly left the Yuzhu Forest, and came to the foot of Luoyun Peak.

He then released his divine sense, covering the entire Luoyun Peak. After careful observation, Qin Ming discovered that there seemed to be fewer patrolling disciples on the mountain.

What surprised him even more was that the Jindan-stage Wan Patriarch who had been stationed in the Sutra Repository was not among them, and was replaced by an unknown Fake Dan Patriarch.

However, Qin Ming judged that Ancestor Wan would not be away for too long and would be back soon.

Qin Ming immediately released the Sky Devouring Rat secretly and whispered, "The old man Wan is not here. It's up to you. Go quickly and come back quickly."

"Look at me."

The Sky-Eating Rat didn't say anything more. It directly used its magical powers to escape into the void and disappeared.

Qin Ming was keeping watch outside. In case the Jindan ancestor returned, he would have to send a signal to the Sky-Devouring Rat.

Time passed little by little.

In the darkness, the Sky-Devouring Rat sneaked along all the way, and even passed in front of the fake Dan Patriarch who was guarding the Sutra Library, but the other party failed to discover it.

It emitted a mysterious black light, which created a small hole in the protective barrier of the Sutra Repository without damaging the barrier, and then it drilled in.

"The recipe for forming the golden elixir is so important, it is probably placed on the top floor." The Sky-Devouring Rat thought secretly and headed straight for the top floor.

After a stick of incense.

The Sky-Devouring Rat broke through the restrictions and reached the top floor of the Sutra Library.

As soon as you enter it, you feel that this place is very different from other places.

Then, the Sky-Eating Rat started rummaging around here.

After a while, the Sky-Devouring Rat found an ancient pale yellow jade slip on a row of bookshelves.

It immediately took a look with its demonic mind, and its two long whiskers trembled as it exclaimed in delight, "Found it!"

The Sky-Devouring Rat immediately followed Qin Ming's instructions and did not take the original. Instead, it took out a blank jade slip and copied the golden elixir recipe in its entirety.

After it succeeded, it was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.

The Sky-Devouring Rat looked back at the numerous jade slips and books here. While searching through them, it found quite a few third-level pill recipes.

"Just don't do one thing and two things!"

"Make a copy of all of them."

So it got busy again and copied all the remaining recipes.

More than half an hour passed.

After doing all this, the powerful demonic consciousness of the Sky-Devouring Rat discovered that a figure with strong magical power fluctuations was rushing back to the Sutra Library.

It should be the Jindan Wan Patriarch from Xuanxi Valley.

It was calm and at ease, and used its magical powers to escape into the void and return along the same route.

When it got downstairs, it even met with Old Ancestor Wan, but the other party didn't notice it either.

After half a stick of incense.

The Sky-Eating Rat secretly ran back to Qin Ming.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

"Didn't I send you a signal? Ancestor Wan has returned. I almost worried about you." Qin Ming said.

The Sky-Eating Rat laughed when he heard this, "Hehe! Master, don't worry, the thing has already been obtained."

Qin Ming was delighted when he heard this and put the Sky-Devouring Rat into his spirit beast bag.

Returned to the wooden house in Yuzhulin.

But when Qin Ming took over a pile of jade slips from the Sky-Devouring Rat, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why did you bring back so many?"

"I saw a lot of good things there, so I copied them all back, hehe!" said the Sky-Eating Rat with a sly grin.

After Qin Ming finished checking the jade slips, he showed a strange expression, then smiled calmly and said to the Sky-Devouring Rat: "Well done!"

He took one of the jade slips in his hand and read it carefully several times. It was the recipe for the golden elixir that Qin Ming had been thinking about for a long time!
