Chapter 261 Temptation and Dissuasion

Qin Ming put all the things into the storage bag and then opened the door.

The moment the door opened.

When he saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment with some surprise, then he moved sideways to welcome the other person into the room.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Huangfu, please come in."

"Friend Long, long time no see."

Huangfu Qi, a well-mannered man, greeted him warmly and walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Qin Ming's gaze also fell on the other party. After more than a year of not seeing each other, Huangfu Qi's magical aura was now extremely powerful. It was obvious that he had also entered the level of perfect foundation building.

The next step is to plan for the formation of the elixir.

Combined with the recent situation, Qin Ming probably guessed the other party's intention.

Most likely it is related to the Taihu ruins.

After Qin Ming poured a cup of spiritual tea for the other party, he asked in a muffled voice, "I wonder what Daoist Huangfu wants to talk to me about?"

"Haha! To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Long, I am here to invite you to go with me to the Taihu ruins that have just appeared in the world, to look for an opportunity to form an elixir." Huangfu Qi was also quick to speak and stated his purpose directly.

"In addition to me, there are several other reliable fellow Taoists, including Fellow Daoist Xiang Zehao from Shennong Valley, and several other fellow Taoists who have completed their foundation building. They will all go together."

Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this. He himself avoided the so-called Taihu ruins, let alone going there.

Huangfu Qi obviously also took a fancy to the cultivation strength of "Long Dao Ren" and recognized him very much, so he came to invite him personally.

All of his colleagues in the group were well-known great monks who had achieved perfect foundation in the State of Wei.

However, the information Qin Ming obtained from the weapon spirit was much more than Huangfu Qi and his team. Even with their powerful lineup, it would not be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the Golden Toad Monster King.
Not to mention, there is a terrifying white-bone immortal inside who is about to revive.

Not only that, after thousands of years of sedimentation, many powerful ghosts have been bred in the ravines at the bottom of Taihu Lake, and there may even be some ghosts that have reached the Dan stage.

With their strength, they are indeed powerful outside, but going to the Palace of the King of Bones to explore the secrets is almost like going to die.

Qin Ming immediately declined, saying, "Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist Huangfu. I'm afraid I have to refuse your kindness."

"I am not interested in that secret place and do not plan to go there."

Qin Ming has made up his mind that he will never go to the Taihu ruins again.

Wait until Aunt Long's spiritual materials are obtained.

He was ready to return to his own Moon-Watching Island and watch the changing situation in the world of immortal cultivation with a smile.
No opportunity or secret realm has anything to do with me.

Whoever wants to go to the ruins can go there.

Anyway, the most valuable fragments of the Jade Golden Mirror and the artifact spirit had already been taken away by him.
Qin Ming did not expect that the temptation of the emergence of the White Bone Palace this time would be so great.

Even the powerful guardian of Jingxue Pavilion wanted to get involved.

"Fellow Daoist Long, why don't you reconsider it? Do you have any concerns?"

"The colleagues I recruited this time are all very powerful."

"With our combined strength, it should be more than enough to protect ourselves in the secret realm of the ruins."

"Also, the thunder method I majored in has a natural restraining effect on ghosts."

Huangfu Qi didn't expect that Mr. Long would reject his invitation without even thinking about it.

Then he said again.

"According to our intelligence, this relic is most likely the palace of an ancient great power from ten thousand years ago."

"Its scale is even many times larger than the ancient ruins that appeared in Yunze Wilderness fifty years ago. They are not even on the same level at all."

"There must be resources for forming a pill inside. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Long has no desire to form a pill at all?"

Huangfu Qi said sincerely that he still hoped to persuade the other party to join.

With Long Daoist's strength and character, there is no one else like him in the Wei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

That's why he invited him so warmly. If it was someone else, Huangfu Qi wouldn't even bother to respond.

Qin Ming sighed slightly in his heart. Huangfu Qi was one of the few fellow Taoists he knew.

Back when we were in Qingyang Market, he even helped me a lot.

As for the Dan-forming resources
He now has the recipe for the golden elixir and the spirit seeds of the two main ingredients. It is only a matter of time before he can refine the golden elixir.

There is also a "Wanhua Spiritual Liquid", which, when combined with Fengyou Ghost Dates, can also produce the "Xuansha Spiritual Liquid", a spiritual substance that can form a pill. These two things alone can increase the chance of forming a pill by 20%.

There is also the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, the life-giving spiritual plant, and the Ancient Wood Evergreen Body, which is comparable to the Heaven-grade spiritual root.
The Dan-forming resources that Qin Ming currently possesses are probably more than those in the secret realm of the ruins, so there is no need for him to take any more risks.

He only needs to go back to Wangyue Island, plant these resources, and then he can prepare for the breakthrough to the Golden Core.

The only difference is the quality of the golden elixir achieved.

Of course.

As a friend.

Qin Ming also didn't want to watch Huangfu Qi go to the Taihu ruins to die in vain.

So he hesitated for a moment, and then advised:

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, I have to tell you the truth. I have explored the area near the Taihu ruins before."

"I'm afraid that place is not a good place. Someone saw with his own eyes that the Jindan Patriarch entered the ruins at the bottom of the lake and never returned."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. I hope you will think twice before acting."

"Someone's advice to you is that it's best not to enter."

"Even if I don't get this chance to form a pill here, as long as I'm still alive, I'll get it somewhere else."

"It's not worth taking risks for an unknown relic."

Qin Ming spoke earnestly, and he had done his best.

He had said everything he needed to say. As for whether Huangfu Qi listened or not, that was his business.

"Uh, so that's how it is."

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Long had already gone to investigate beforehand."

"Even the Golden Core Ancestor couldn't come out?"

"It really was beyond my expectation."

After listening to Qin Ming's advice, Huangfu Qi showed a look of astonishment on his face.

Then he fell into deep thought.

"Thank you very much for your advice, Fellow Daoist Long."

"I will go back and discuss with other Taoist friends before making a decision."

After thinking for a long time, Huangfu Qi stood up, bowed to Qin Ming, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Huangfu Qi's departing back, Qin Ming shook his head.

Faced with such a huge temptation as the chance to form a pill, how many of the low-level independent cultivators and cultivators from powerful forces can remain calm and sit still?
They are all like moths to a flame, rushing forward one after another to fight for that slight chance.

Even if you know there are many dangers, you still have to jump in and not give up until you reach the Yellow River.

"If I didn't have the cheat code, I would probably be the same as them right now."

Qin Ming was filled with emotion.

Another half month has passed.

The flow of people in Moyuan Immortal City increased dozens of times in a short period of time. Qin Ming could see cultivators from various countries almost every day. There were crowds of people coming in and out, and the traffic was endless.

Even the nearby restaurants and inns were packed with people, and room prices soared several times. In places with better conditions, the prices even increased by more than ten times.

Fortunately, 'Master Long' is now a super big customer of Jingxue Pavilion, and Aunt Long has not asked him for hotel expenses until now.

From the surge in the number of cultivators, it can be seen that the world of immortal cultivation is about to be in turmoil and the situation is about to change.

This day.

Qin Ming was in the restaurant on the first floor, trying to find out some latest news.

Aunt Long came over with a beaming face and said to Qin Ming, "Senior Long, good news!"

"All the third-level spiritual materials on the list you provided have been found."
