Chapter 263: [Creation and Elixir Cleansing]

A few days later.

Qin Ming rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee and came to the bitter cold land of the Northern Territory. If he continued to go north, he would reach the foggy swamp where even Jindan cultivators would never return.

He fell towards a huge iceberg not far away.

He had been searching for this place for a long time before he found it.

Qin Ming went straight into an ice crack halfway up the mountain, then made several detours and entered the deepest part.

After half a stick of incense.

Deep in the ice cave, an extremely cold pool several meters in size, emitting misty cold air, appeared in Qin Ming's sight.

As soon as he entered here, even with Qin Ming's cultivation level, he felt a biting chill.

He took out the spiritual seeds of the Huanyou Zhenyin Flower from his storage bag and planted them in a place beside the cold pond.

These two precious spirit seeds were given to him by fellow Taoist Lu Liang before his death.

When Qin Ming took it out again, he was reminded of the person and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

Afterwards, Qin Ming used five [Leaves of Time and Space] entries on the spirit seed.

In an instant.

Two ice-blue spiritual herbs broke out of the ground and madly absorbed the extremely yin energy in the cold pond.

The whole spiritual herb is almost transparent, as if it was carved out of ice-blue glass. You can even see the veins inside clearly, and the chalcedony-like spiritual energy flows inside, which is very beautiful.

Three days later.

These two plants of the True Yin Flower have both grown to be five hundred years old and have produced seven or eight ice flowers.

at the same time.

Two golden entries came into Qin Ming's eyes.

[Name]: Huanyou Zhenyin Flower [Term]: Mana Source X1 (maturity 94%)
[Name]: Huanyou Zhenyin Flower [Term]: Creation Pill Washing X1 (maturity 95%)
[Creation Pill Cleansing]: After use, it can strengthen the cultivator's foundation. When the golden elixir is formed, it can be cleansed to remove impurities, and there is a 40% chance of improving the quality of the golden elixir.

"As expected of a third-level spiritual plant, it can actually strengthen the foundation of Taoism and improve the quality of the golden elixir. This entry is even more powerful than the spiritual object that forms the golden elixir!"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face.

His goal was to at least reach the middle grade golden elixir. With this entry, he felt more confident.

After the Huanyou Zhenyin flower blooms, it will continue to absorb the extremely cold Yin air until it bears spiritual fruit and condenses into the legendary 'Huanyou Zhen Water'. This process takes two to three years and cannot be rushed.

Qin Ming immediately released the Sky-Devouring Rat.

As soon as the Sky-Eating Rat came out, it looked around at the surrounding environment and shuddered all over.

It had a bad premonition, so it exhaled, rubbed its hands, and then asked Qin Ming:

"Hi~ha~"

"Master, what do you need me for?"

Qin Ming pointed at the Huanyou Zhenyin flower beside the cold pond and said calmly: "I planted spiritual plants here, but it will take some time to harvest."

"During this time, I have other important things to do. During this time, you help me protect this flower. If the True Water in the fruit is almost condensed, you will notify me."

"what?!"

"Oh"

"Master, how long do we need to guard it?"

"Three years."

"."

The Sky-Eating Rat agreed very reluctantly, with a gloomy face.

After Qin Ming finished explaining, he flew away with Silver Wing.

The Sky-Eating Rat saw Qin Ming's figure disappear into the sky.

It was like a deflated ball, and sighed, "Ah~ I really have a hard life! I didn't expect that I had just been freed from the daily farming days."

"I was sent to this barren and cold place to guard the spiritual herbs, and stayed there for three years."

"What hatred or grudge?"

……

the other side.

Qin Ming rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee to Canghai Fairy City. He planned to rent the third-order fire vein on the main peak to grow and ripen the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus.

He was extremely relieved that the Heaven-Devouring Rat, a third-rank demon king, was guarding the spiritual herbs in the iceberg of the Northern Territory.

After arriving at the Immortal City, Qin Ming put away his pet, headed straight to Canghai Peak, and found Lv Wanjun.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's been a long time."

"Congratulations to Brother Qin for his advanced cultivation and further advancement in the path of immortality!"

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Over the years, Lu Wanjun has become less playful and more reserved and mature.

She was extremely envious when she saw Qin Ming break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

After building the foundation, unless you have a large amount of cultivation resources, every step forward will be extremely difficult.

Especially independent cultivators like them.

This time when Qin Ming came to Canghai Immortal City, he raised the magical power that he had deliberately concealed from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

This is to avoid being too shocking when you are promoted to the Golden Core Stage in the future.

"I want to rent a cave with a third-level fire vein, preferably a third-level mid-quality cave or above."

Qin Ming smiled slightly and said to her.

"With Fellow Daoist Qin's current status and position, and the Canghai Order specially approved by the City Lord, there will naturally be no problem."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please follow me."

Lu Wanjun smiled, then enthusiastically took Qin Ming to the cave area on the main peak.

As soon as you enter here, you will feel that the fire spiritual energy between heaven and earth has suddenly increased and become extremely rich.

Qin Ming felt the environment of the spiritual vein briefly and was quite satisfied. This place was just right for nurturing the Golden Lotus of Fire.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the three caves with the most concentrated fire energy are currently being rented."

"But in three days, the lease of Cave A for Great Alchemist Sun Jinnian will expire, and he should be coming out."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin can wait for three days?"

Lu Wanjun introduced him to the situation of the cave.

"Haha, I can still wait for three days." Qin Ming nodded, and then asked Lu Wanjun, "By the way, have you been okay these years? I see that your magic power is pure, it seems that you have worked hard to practice."

When Lv Wanjun heard that Qin Ming cared about her, even though she knew that he was doing it for the sake of her master Lv Liang, she was still very happy. "Thank you, Brother Daoist Qin, for your concern. Everything is fine in Xiancheng. Thanks to the care of my master and Brother Daoist Qin, the city lord also takes good care of me."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, "Well, that's good."

"If you need my help, you can always come to Wangyue Island to find me."

"Hehe, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qin." Lu Wanjun returned to her former appearance and smiled playfully.

"By the way, can I ask you something?"

"Brother Qin, are you renting a third-grade, superior-quality Fire Vein Cave to make elixirs? Or..."

Lu Wanjun's curiosity was also aroused, because only a very small number of cultivators could afford to rent a third-grade, top-grade fire vein cave.

The daily rent here is a considerable expense even for a cultivator who is building a foundation.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is burning spirit stones.

"Yes, that's right. I've been studying an ancient pill recipe recently, and I'm planning to rent a high-level fire vein to refine the pill." Qin Ming said lightly. Naturally, he would not reveal his true intentions.

Rumble!
Just as Qin Ming and Lu Wanjun were chatting, the formation of Cave No. A opened, and an old man in fancy clothes with a dusty face walked out. He was none other than the great alchemist Sun who was very famous in the Immortal City.

"Master Sun, you are coming out of retreat!"

"May I ask if you still need to rent the cave?"

When Lu Wanjun saw someone coming out, she hurriedly went up to him, bowed and asked.

Sun Jinnian patted his robe, then coughed lightly, his eyes fell on Qin Ming again, and he nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

"Ahem! I won't renew the lease for now."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you want to rent the Fire Vein Cave?"

Lu Wanjun nodded and replied, "That's right, then we can rent the cave to Fellow Daoist Qin."

When Qin Ming saw that Master Sun's magical energy was disordered and there was a barely perceptible smell of burnt medicine, he knew that he had failed in refining the elixir.

Moreover, based on his keen spiritual perception and experience in alchemy, Sun Jinnian should be refining some kind of third-level elixir and trying to become a third-level alchemy master, but failed.

Sun Jinnian also looked depressed. In order to collect third-level spiritual materials for alchemy, he almost spent most of his wealth accumulated over the years.

The failure of this alchemy was a huge loss, and for him, a great alchemist, it was a huge pain in his bones and flesh.

In addition, the daily rent for renting a third-grade, top-grade fire vein cave is also a considerable expense.

Even though he was a second-rank high-quality alchemist and the spirit stones came in very quickly, he could not withstand such a rush, so they came out early.

When Sun Jinnian saw Qin Ming, a well-known master of dual skills, coming to rent the cave, he walked up to him, bowed, and asked politely:

"Friend Qin, long time no see!"

"Congratulations! Your cultivation has improved a lot!"

"Are you preparing to refine the elixir?"

"Haha, hello, Taoist Sun." Qin Ming returned the greeting. "I just had a sudden inspiration recently and decided to try my luck in refining a few batches of medicinal pills."

"Then I would like to wish Fellow Daoist Qin success in refining the elixir in advance." Sun Jinnian said politely to Qin Ming.

Ever since Qin Ming was promoted to the second-grade superior spiritual plant master and the second-grade superior alchemy master.

In Canghai Immortal City, Qin Ming's reputation once overshadowed Sun Jinnian, the great alchemist who was admired by thousands of people.

Master Sun was unwilling to accept his old age and wanted to try his best to break through to the third-level alchemy master in one fell swoop and consolidate his position in the eyes of the casual cultivators. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.
"Haha, Qin thanks Master Sun Dan for his kind words."

Sun Jinnian and Qin Ming exchanged a few words briefly, then turned and left.

at this time.

Lv Wanjun asked Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, how long do you want to rent the cave this time?"

"The rental of caves above level 3 on Canghai Peak starts from one month. The monthly rent of a level 3, top-grade fire vein cave is 300 medium-grade spirit stones."

"Fellow Daoist Qin holds the Canghai Order, so he can enjoy a 20% discount."

Qin Ming thought for a moment and then said, "Then let's rent it for two years."

Hearing this, Lu Wanjun thought she had heard it wrong, and confirmed again:

“How much more??”

"Two years."

"All right, Fellow Daoist Qin, I'll handle the formalities for you right away."

"After the discount, the total rent for two years is 2,880 medium-grade spirit stones."

Qin Ming immediately had a blank expression on his face. He took out the spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Wanjun.

After she counted the spirit stones, she couldn't help but secretly glance at the plain-looking Fellow Daoist Qin.

It's really true that if you don't make a sound, you will be a big surprise!
He rented a third-grade superior cave for two years, and spent a total of more than two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, without even blinking an eye.

Is this the joy of a master-level cultivator?
Even the great alchemist Sun Jinnian, who was about to leave, couldn't help but stop after hearing the conversation between the two.

Different from Lu Wanjun.

An incredible idea suddenly came to his mind!
That is--

'Is Qin Ming also planning to try to refine a third-level elixir and break through to the third-level alchemy master? ! ! '

'He had rented the third-grade, superior-grade fire vein cave for such a long time, and this was the only explanation that made sense.'

There was a boom.

The cave is closed.

Qin Ming has entered Cave No. A.

He needs to use alchemy as a cover-up, and with the help of this place to grow the third-order spiritual plant, the Fire Lotus, it will definitely take some time.

Although he had the entry in hand, in order to adjust the spiritual medicine to a state where it could be used as medicine, it still needed to be cultivated for a period of time after it matured so that the spiritual plant could fully absorb the extremely yang energy in the fire vein.

Therefore, he claimed to the outside world that he was refining pills as a cover, but in fact he was secretly cultivating high-level spiritual plants.

Anyway, the caves on Canghai Peak that are open to the public attach great importance to protecting the privacy of their guests and are not afraid of being discovered.

Of course, despite the cover-up, Qin Ming really intended to take advantage of the time when the Fire Lotus matured to try to refine a third-level elixir.

The recipe for this elixir was stolen by the Sky-Devouring Rat from the Sutra Library in Xuanxi Valley. It was called the 'Dust-Mieting Pill' and it was an elixir for strengthening the body and nourishing the essence in the early stages of the Golden Elixir.

The Dust-Mieting Pill is also circulated in the circle of Jindan Zhenren in Moyuan Immortal City. Although the remaining quantity is rare, it is not a unique recipe of Xuanxi Valley. Therefore, Qin Ming chose to refine this pill as a breakthrough.

If he really breaks through to the Jindan stage, it can be used.

As for the materials needed to refine the Dust-Destroying Pill, they are in Linghu Yang's storage bag and Old Yan's storage bag.

He also saves himself from having to search everywhere.

boom!
The moment Qin Ming stepped into the third-grade superior fire vein cave, a scorching heat wave suddenly hit him in the face.
