Chapter 278 Golden Elixir Ceremony
Wangyue Island, inside the cave.

The Sky-Devouring Rat was skilled in massaging Qin Ming's legs with its small hands. It said with a smile, "Master, since you have already broken through to the Golden Core Stage, do you want to give me that Golden Core?"

Qin Ming naturally understood what it wanted. It was simply after the two human golden elixirs.

It is now only one step away from breaking through to the level of a third-order mid-stage demon king, and its strength is advancing by leaps and bounds again.

As Qin Ming's number one warrior, the Sky-Devouring Rat is naturally willing to spend resources to train it.

However, it is not the right time yet.

"Well, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

"I will help you break through after I finish the Golden Core Ceremony." Qin Ming said to it calmly.

Sky-Eating Rat grinned, "Hehehe! Okay, I'm not in a hurry at all, I'm just asking casually."

A few days later.

A blue light came from afar, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure, and arrived near Moon Watching Island.

It was Wei Wuya from Lei Yuan Sect.

Suddenly.

The air twisted, and the figure of the Sky-Devouring Rat emerged. It said to Wei Wuya:
"Wei Wuya, are you here too early?"

"The Golden Elixir Ceremony won't begin until a month later."

When Wei Wuya saw the Sky-Devouring Rat talking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back to when the beast tide surrounded the city, he and three other Jindan ancestors fought this beast in Canghai Fairy City for three hundred rounds, and the battle was hard to determine the winner.

Now, this famous third-level demon king has become Qin Ming's spiritual pet.
This made him a little difficult to accept for a while.
"I came here this time because I wanted to discuss something with Fellow Daoist Qin alone." Wei Wuya explained.

Qin Ming also noticed that Wei Wuya had arrived, so he sent a message to the Sky-Devouring Rat, "Please invite him in."

After receiving Qin Ming's instructions, the Sky-Eating Rat took Wei Wuya into the Spirit Island.

"Brother Wei, you have come from afar. I wonder what's the matter?" Qin Ming asked after inviting Wei Wuya to take a seat.

Wei Wuya took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "I believe that Fellow Daoist Qin is also aware that the current situation in the Wei Kingdom's cultivation world is not optimistic."

"Brother Wei, do you mean the invasion by the Jin Kingdom?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

Wei Wuya nodded and said, "That's right. It's mainly because Lingyun Sect is not satisfied with the status quo after having two golden cores, and has great ambitions to expand outward."

"I came here this time to discuss with Fellow Daoist Qin how to deal with this matter. After all, only you and I, the two Jindan, can take charge of the matter in Wei State."

Wei Wuya knew clearly that Qin Ming's current strength was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator.

Not only does he have a demon king at the peak of the early third stage, but the other party's magical aura is also hidden very secretly.

Even he couldn't tell the depth.

Even he had never heard of the golden thunder tribulation that day.

Therefore, if Qin Ming is willing to take action, the crisis in Wei State may be able to turn around.

Qin Ming had expected this. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly, "What's that person from Lingyun Sect?"

"Duanmu Sheng."

"Oh yes, Duanmu Sheng, leave this person to me. He and I happen to have some grudges against each other." Qin Ming said calmly.

The tone was so relaxed, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Wei Wuya was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Qin Ming to agree so readily.

This made him even more curious about Qin Ming's strength.

So he asked: "Wei, I would like to ask Brother Qin, is the golden elixir you formed a top-grade one?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly and nodded, "That's right."

Naturally, he would not tell everything, but would keep some things to himself.

After a cultivator reaches the Golden Core Stage, it becomes extremely difficult to break through each small realm.

The difference in strength between Jindan cultivators can also be seen from this.

Take the previous incident for example, Wei Wuya used the Thunder Armor Technique and briefly entered the middle stage of the Golden Core. He beat Yuwen Hong and Yu Laogui so badly that they could hardly fight back.

It was a one-sided crushing.

The quality of the finished pill is directly related to the breakthrough of the Jindan stage cultivator in the subsequent realm.

Relatively speaking, if it is a top-grade golden elixir, it will be much easier to break through the middle and late stages.

On the other hand, for a low-grade golden elixir, it is extremely difficult and the chances are slim to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

Without good opportunities and the supply of resources for cultivation, one may be trapped in the early stage of Golden Elixir for life.

This is the case for most Jindan cultivators.

Not to mention the independent cultivators, even Zhenren Canghai, who has the Immortal City as his backing, is still stuck in the early stage of Golden Core.

However, it is estimated that Nalan Xi has not yet taken the Dust-Mieting Pill that Qin Ming traded to her, otherwise, she should have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

"Wei also wants to thank Fellow Daoist Qin. If you hadn't traded me the Dust-Murdering Pill, I, the Lei Yuan Sect, would have been the one to be eliminated in that life-and-death battle." Wei Wuya said this, expressing his immense gratitude to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming waved his hand, "Brother Wei, there's no need to be polite. We know each other for a while, and we each get what we need."

"Besides, you also exchanged it for three spiritual materials for refining the Dust-Extinguishing Pill."

“It’s not a loss for me.”

The two of them talked to each other for a while.

After Wei Wuya received Qin Ming's reply, he felt relieved. After communicating with him for a while, he left.

Qin Ming watched Wei Wuya leave, thinking about something.

In the past, he would naturally not care about these things.

But things are different now.

The Lingyun Sect has come here, which is really unlucky.

Then I can't blame myself. ...

A month later, the day of the Golden Elixir Ceremony arrived.

The entire Lingqi Islands suddenly became lively.

Representatives from various forces, as well as invited individuals, came to Wangyue Island to congratulate and watch the ceremony.

This remote spiritual island, which was almost forgotten before, will probably become a landmark of the Lingqi Islands from now on.

Wangyue Lake is particularly lively today. Qin Ming has collected all the misty illusions outside Lingdao.

Rays of light, flying magic tools, magical horses, chariots, and spiritual vehicles were all shining and colorful, and monks who came to congratulate came one after another.

All of them are cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they are from major businesses, as well as sects and families that are first-rate or above in the four countries.

The main force was the Wei State.

The venue for the Golden Elixir Ceremony was set up on a huge open space below Ling Island, and had been arranged in an orderly manner by the people of Jingxue Pavilion.

On the main peak, some guests of high status are entertained, such as Jindan monks.

Qin Ming sat on the throne at the top, looking down at the packed square below.

Wu Jiang led the clansmen to arrange the reception in an orderly manner, so Qin Ming didn't have to worry about anything at all.

On the square paved with white jade, the closer you sit to the front, the higher your VIP status.

After Gu Qingzhao sent someone to give an opening speech, the celebration officially began.

Qin Ming also made a few remarks, which triggered a heated response from the audience.

This caused the monks who were watching outside the Spirit Island to scratch their heads and regret that they were not invited.

Then, the sound of congratulations continued to come:
"The Seventy-two Islands Alliance congratulates Master Wangyue on his golden elixir achievement. Here is a third-level white whale bead presented by Alliance Leader Li Yuanqing!"

"Hundred Flowers Sect, a piece of third-level Scarlet Sky Stone, presented by the Hundred Flowers Fairy."

"Shennong Sect, half a bottle of third-level Moon Shadow Jade Dew, presented by Sect Master Chu Wuwang."

……

At this time.

A beam of white light came from afar, landed on the square, revealed its face, and then presented a gift.

The cultivators instantly felt a huge spiritual pressure, "The Golden Core Master is here!"

"It's Nalan Xi, the Immortal Master of Canghai Immortal City."

……

"Canghai Immortal City, ten high-quality spirit stones, one third-level purple ghost wood, and five third-level fire soul grass spirit seeds, presented by Canghai Zhenren."

After Master Canghai presented the gift, he nodded and smiled at Qin Ming, then sat in the first row.

"Wow!"

"Master Canghai is really generous! He actually presented so many precious gifts at once."

"Not to mention the top-grade spiritual stone, the purple mysterious wood is said to have been brought back by a treasure-hunting monk from a dangerous place. There is only one such tree in Canghai Immortal City."

Immediately afterwards, another blue light fell.

"Lei Yuan Sect, ten high-quality spirit stones, two third-level pill recipes, and one third-level thunder and fire crystal gold. Presented by Grand Elder Wei Wuya."

When everyone saw that another Jindan Patriarch had arrived and that his moves were extraordinary, they were secretly amazed.

"I heard that when Master Wangyue was in the foundation-building stage, he had a close relationship with Patriarch Wei and Master Canghai. Now it seems to be true!"

Wei Wuya also nodded slightly to Qin Ming, and then sat down next to Master Canghai.

The arrival of the two Jindan ancestors also made the atmosphere on the scene lively.

at this time.

Two green beams of light came from the southeast direction of Wangyue Lake, emitting a power far beyond the early stage of Jindan. They even pushed away the colorful clouds on both sides and landed on the White Jade Square.

When the escaping light dissipated, two figures were revealed.

An elegant middle-aged man in a green robe and an old man with silver hair and a gray robe appeared in front of everyone.

When Qin Ming saw the two distinguished guests, he couldn't help but stand up from the throne.

Not only him, but even Wei Wuya and Master Canghai stood up.

The elegant middle-aged man in green robe, with a ruddy face, said in a loud voice: "Qingxuan and Yuheng of the Xuanxi Valley of Liang State congratulate Brother Qin Dao on his successful completion of the golden elixir and his everlasting immortality!"

The words fell.

Wow!
The scene became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Isn't it?"

“It turned out to be the late Jindan-stage Qingxuan Patriarch who came in person, as well as the Yuheng Patriarch!”

"Master Mochizuki is so impressive!"

"I'm so surprised that we can trouble these two elders to come and congratulate you."

Qin Ming hurried over, bowed to the two ancestors of Xuanxi Valley, and welcomed them to their seats.

"So it's you, Daoist Fellow Qingxuan and Daoist Fellow Yuheng. You two have come from afar to come here. I am truly humbled and grateful for your hospitality."

Qin Ming sensed it slightly and found that Patriarch Yuheng was okay, but Patriarch Qingxuan's cultivation was almost unfathomable.

He is worthy of being a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

Qin Ming thought to himself that their two ancestors, not Ancestor Qingxuan, were injured in the battle with the green-faced poisonous dragon.

Patriarch Yuheng almost died at the hands of the golden toad who escaped from the Taihu ruins?
But at this moment, it seems that the two ancestors are in good spirits.

It seems completely inconsistent with the rumors that he was seriously injured.
