Chapter 383 News about Master Jackdaw and his encounters on the road
Time passed, and three years went by quietly.

In Xiaoling Realm, Qin Ming was sitting cross-legged under his natal spiritual plant, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Vine Tree, practicing in seclusion.

No matter how chaotic the war is, he is as steady as an old dog, and nothing outside can disturb him at all.

The practice of "Qingdi Jue" is also proceeding in an orderly manner and is about to break through the tenth level.

Although the progress of the cultivation of the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Holy Body is extremely slow, it is also improving.

Qin Ming is like an ancient evergreen tree. After eternity, the green essence of plants is continuously injected into his body from his natal spiritual plant.

The magic power of the flawless golden elixir has become more pure and thorough, and the size of the golden elixir has also increased a circle larger than before.

"The Golden Elixir will be perfect soon."

Qin Ming was very satisfied with the progress of his cultivation. If it were an ordinary cultivator, this stage of cultivation would be full of bottlenecks, and it would be extremely difficult to increase the power of the golden elixir.

It takes a long time of hard grinding, which is like grinding with water.

And he did it through his own unremitting efforts, with a little help from entries and elixirs.

Finally, we have reached the last step of the Jindan stage.

After the training, Qin Ming slowly opened his ink-black eyes, and a scent of plants and trees that had passed through the years lingered around him.

He then looked at his natal spiritual plant, the Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, and the entries on it were ready to be harvested.

[Name]: Yin Yang Xuan Teng [Term]: Abundant lifespan x5 (maturity 100%, harvestable)
[Name]: Yin Yang Xuan Teng [Term]: Space-Time Leaves x5 (maturity 100%, harvestable)
[Name]: Yin Yang Xuan Teng [Term]: Powerful Purity X5 (maturity 100%, harvestable)
Immediately, he raised his hand and harvested dozens of magical fruits on the tree.

In an instant.

Three blue leaves then appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Ming immediately used the entries of [Abundant Lifespan] and [Powerful Purity].

In the dark, a vast force of time descended upon him.

The original lifespan of 2,600 years instantly increased to 2,850 years.

Such a long lifespan is even longer than that of some old monsters in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The golden elixir magic power in Qin Ming's body also became more refined and harmonious, and his spellcasting became smoother and more silky.

Not only is the quantity huge, but the quality also presents an overwhelming advantage.

His current magical power strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary Jindan perfect cultivator.

at the same time.

Over the past three years, Qin Ming has planted all the alchemy materials he has collected in the small spiritual realm's medicinal fields.

Once the remaining spiritual materials are gathered, you can start preparing to make the elixir.

The age requirements for the spiritual materials used to refine the Ningying Pill and Bingxin Yupo Pill are very high. Fortunately, Qin Ming now has a lot of [Leaves of Time and Space] entries stored in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It will be enough to ripen these spiritual plants by then.

He used his divine sense to check the 'Magic Flame Wine' stored under the Yin-Yang Mysterious Vine Tree, and the spiritual energy became more and more rich.

In another six years, he can open the cap and drink it. That will be the time when he breaks through to the perfection of the golden elixir.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming left the small spiritual realm and came to the spiritual field outside.

Qin Ming glanced at the lush ten acres of top-grade spiritual fields outside.

Three golden entries came into his sight.

[Name]: Tianluo Fruit [Term]: Mana Source X5 (maturity 60%)
[Name]: Tianluo Fruit [Term]: Qi and Blood Source x5 (maturity 62%)
[Name]: Tianluo Fruit [Term]: Regeneration Spirit Seed x5 (maturity 64%)
The third-grade, top-grade spiritual plant, Tianluo Fruit, is estimated to be mature and harvestable in another two years.

Then the Tianluo Fruit can be made into the elixir Tianluo Powder and sold. I believe you can make a lot of money.

Because over the past three years, as the war has continued, the outside world's demand for healing elixirs has also been increasing.

Especially rare life-saving drugs, which are in short supply and often have no buyers.

Qin Ming used the Great Five Elements Technique to send down spiritual rain in the ten-acre spiritual field, and the growth of the Tianluo Fruit became even more gratifying.

He closed his eyes and used the affinity of plants to sense, and found that the growth of each spiritual plant had reached its optimal state.

Qin Ming looked at these spiritual plants and nodded with satisfaction, then walked outside.

When passing by the spiritual field that Li Lan was in charge of, he saw more than one hundred acres of third-grade Jade Emperor spiritual rice, which had grown to three feet high.

These spiritual plants, which are emerald-like in color, continue to grow upwards like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

At first glance, it looks like a large area of ​​green bamboo shoots that have just emerged from the soil.

Li Lan, under the scorching sun, like an old farmer, carefully cleared the debris from the rice field.

Fortunately, he is in the late stage of foundation building, otherwise it would be really difficult to feed a hundred acres of third-level spiritual rice at the same time.

After all, the daily Spirit Rain Technique is indispensable.

Since this was the first time that Li Lan planted the third-level Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, and it was quite difficult to maintain this spiritual rice on a daily basis.

Qin Ming originally thought that even if Li Lan succeeded in planting, the yield in the future would not be very high.

But who would have thought that Li Lan's talent in spiritual plants was beyond Qin Ming's expectations, coupled with the spiritual plant experience he taught her.

Now he has more than 100 acres of spiritual rice under his care in an orderly manner, and the yield will not be too low when it matures.

I guess it will give myself a big surprise.

"Manager Lu, you are here."

When Li Lan saw Qin Ming coming over, he quickly put down the work in his hands and came over to greet him.

"Well, you are pretty good. I thought the survival rate of spiritual rice would not be so high."

"Now it seems that I have underestimated you." Qin Ming acted calmly.

Li Lan hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to Manager Lu's good teaching. Otherwise, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

"I will definitely not let Shopkeeper Lu down."

"Well, it's OK as long as you have this heart." Qin Ming patted his shoulder, "Okay, I'll just take a look, you continue to be busy."

"By the way, the dozen or so Jade Emperor Spiritual Rice plants in the corner of the spiritual field on the right have been infected with an alien insect disease. How do you deal with it? I don't need to teach you, right?"

Li Lan was stunned when he heard this, then he bowed and said, "Ah? Thank you, Manager Lu, for reminding me!"

"I'll go and treat it right away."

After Qin Ming left, Li Lan walked to the place Qin Ming had pointed out and carefully observed the Jade Emperor Rice plants.

But after observing carefully for most of the day, he could not see any signs of mutant insect disease.

It was not until he recalled the experience Qin Ming had given him about spiritual plants that he flipped through it for a while and finally found some green threads as thin as gossamer threads behind a few leaves.

These fine lines are so similar to the patterns of spiritual plants that they cannot be distinguished without careful observation.

“In just a few moments, I can find the sick spiritual plants among tens of thousands of spiritual plants.”

"Based on this alone, Shopkeeper Lu's attainments in spiritual plants have probably reached an extremely high level."

Li Lan was even more convinced by Qin Ming. He asked himself that he would not be able to achieve such a level even if he studied for another few decades.

This is no longer a simple matter of planting spiritual plants, but being able to communicate with spiritual plants as is legendary, with the plant and wood sensitivity reaching an astonishing level.

……

Qin Ming left the spiritual field and went to the Five Elements Mountain Market again to inquire about the news.

Although he now has Hua Tianxiong under his command, who collects spiritual materials and intelligence for him, he still comes to the market from time to time when he is not practicing.

There is quite a lot of news about the Wuxing Mountain Market.

Due to its special geographical location and the presence of various intelligence organizations throughout the market town, they will appear in time as soon as there is any disturbance in the world of immortal cultivation.

Moreover, Qin Ming vaguely felt that the current situation was closely related to the secret realm discovered in Shendao Mountain.

Although so much time has passed and the news has not been leaked, the number of cultivators coming to the Five Elements Mountain has increased significantly in the past few years.

There are many unfamiliar faces of monks.

Qin Ming even suspected that those demon cultivators from the Blood Refining Demon Sect who descended from the Blood World had already infiltrated and lurked here.

After all, after more than three years, the Great Zhou's immortal cultivation world suffered a crushing defeat and fell completely into the hands of the Dali Demon Sect.

The Yuanying Zhenjun of Xuanqing Temple, Master Han Ya, fled without a fight, was despised by everyone, and was completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history, being spurned by everyone. It is incredible that a Yuanying stage cultivator has such a bad reputation.

On this day, Qin Ming invited Han Yuan and the other two to have a small gathering at Yufeng Tower and inquire about the situation.

A few people went to the private room on the third floor to drink and eat.

"Brother Daoist Lu is indeed a very busy man. It took him such a long time to think of the three of us."

Liu Ye smiled and poured wine for Qin Ming.

"Busy with nothing." Qin Ming answered implicitly.

"Look, Fellow Daoist Lu is being modest again."

"Everyone knows that Fellow Daoist Lu's Jingxue Pavilion is now a well-known presence in the Wandao Merchant Alliance."

"Speaking of which, I still remember vividly the scene when Fellow Daoist Lu came to Dajin with us by boat from the Southern Wasteland."

"But in just a few years, Fellow Daoist Lu has turned Jingxue Pavilion from a small, unknown business in southern Xinjiang into a well-known company."

"Such means and courage really make us ashamed!"

Han Yuan also said with a sigh.

After three drinks.

The topic of conversation among them turned to the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation.

Han Yuan first raised his hand to set up a soundproof barrier in the private room, then said with a rather solemn expression:

"Friend Lu, do you know why the Great Zhou Dynasty fell so quickly this time?"

“Didn’t it say that, in addition to being related to the Blood Refining Demon Sect of the Blood World, it is also related to Master Jackdaw’s escape without a fight?” Qin Ming asked back with a little confusion.

"Alas! Fellow Daoist Lu, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

"Recently, new information has been sent back from Elder Jin Han, the leader of the Merchant Alliance."

"The real inside story is not what is said outside."

"It is said that Master Jackdaw of Xuanqing Temple did not flee without a fight at the first opportunity, but instead fought a fierce battle with the people from the Blood Refining Demon Sect first."

"It's just that there are only a few monks who saw the fight with their own eyes."

"Elder Jin Han said that in that battle, Master Jackdaw was defeated and fled, which led to the subsequent escape of Xuanqing Temple."

Qin Ming was also slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "What? Is there such a thing? Even Master Jackdaw in the Nascent Soul stage is not his opponent."

"So, can the Blood Refining Demon Sect's methods be so terrifying?"

"That's right. It is rumored that among the Blood Refining Demon Sect that came to the lower world this time, there are two extremely powerful Demon Sect Saint Sons and Saint Daughters. The skills they practiced are strange and unpredictable, and they are even more powerful than those of the Nascent Soul."

"Master Jackdaw was probably defeated by these two people."

"Fortunately, Master Jackdaw was seriously injured, and he took away all the treasures of Xuanqing Temple before leaving, leaving this group of demon cultivators empty-handed."

"I heard from Elder Jin Han that the demons from the Blood Refining Demon Sect are currently searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Master Jackdaw."

"But he seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace at all, leaving the demons helpless."

"If I were to say, this Jackdaw is truly a wise but foolish man!"

"If we really fight against the evil, the final outcome will most likely be death, and the foundation of Xuanqing Temple accumulated over the years will be used to serve others."

After listening to Han Yuan's words, Qin Ming nodded, thinking about something in his heart.

"To talk about the most miserable, it has to be the lower-level cultivators of the Great Zhou. Over the past three years, many families and immortal cities have been completely destroyed, and countless cultivators have been sacrificed in blood and become the souls of the devil soldiers in the hands of the devil cultivators."

"If the Weidao League had not stepped in to help, the Great Zhou would have completely ceased to exist by now."

Gao Feng also added.

"However, this time when the demons invaded the Great Zhou, some famous and ruthless characters also emerged."

"For example, Li Haoran, the head of the Li family in Xianling Mountain, relied on his late Jindan cultivation and the Confucian and Taoist secret magic that he cultivated to be extremely restrained against the devil. He once single-handedly killed a late Jindan elder of the Yin Demon Sect."

"This matter is extremely morale-boosting for the cultivators of the Great Zhou."

"The Li family has since been invited to join the Wei Dao League. It is said that Li Haoran was personally summoned by Li Huo Shangren for guidance and given a valuable treasure on the spot. He is truly the envy of others."

Qin Ming secretly digested this information. He didn't expect that so many things happened during this short period of his retreat.

After he had gathered enough information, he said goodbye to the three people, took a walk around the market, and bought some spiritual materials.

After he left the Five Elements Mountain Market, he did not stay for long and was planning to return to Lingtian.

But just when they were halfway there, they saw a chariot with dark gold dragon patterns flying towards them. The chariot was semi-open, with only a roof for shade.

There were three young monks in black robes sitting in the carriage, emitting the magical aura of the middle to late stage of foundation building.

But Qin Ming just glanced at it from a distance and was immediately startled!
His spiritual power is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators.

Naturally, such hiding means were useless in front of him.

Qin Ming only took a glance and discovered that these three people were hiding and disguising their true cultivation levels.

Soon after, he secretly used the technique of breaking the double pupil, but the conclusion he came to made Qin Ming quite uneasy.

'It turns out they are three Jindan-stage demon cultivators!'

"I didn't expect you would get here."

Qin Ming was currently casting the True Demon Illusion, disguising himself as Shopkeeper Lu and suppressing his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building.

So he immediately pretended that he knew nothing and was about to pass by the three people.

Suddenly.

The dark gold chariot suddenly stopped, blocking Qin Ming's way.

"This fellow Taoist is so polite."

"Excuse me, is the Wuxing Mountain Market nearby?"

A thin young monk sitting on the far left suddenly raised his fist to Qin Ming and asked.

The other person had a smile on his face, looking harmless.

Qin Ming returned the greeting with a bow, pointed to the northwest, and replied calmly, "Go another thousand miles in this direction and you'll arrive."

"Okay, thank you very much!" The lean black-robed monk replied with a smile, then turned to the sturdy and rugged-looking monk in the middle and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, we have traveled for such a long time and are finally here."

Qin Ming didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "If the three of you don't have anything else to say, I'll go first."

"Yeah." The burly man looked very cold and just nodded lukewarmly.

Immediately, Qin Ming turned into a green rainbow, left the place without looking back, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Qin Ming had just left for a while.

The thin monk suddenly put on an evil smile and asked in confusion, "Brother Qiu, why didn't you kill that kid just now?"

"If we use the soul-searching technique on him, we may be able to obtain some useful information for us."

"This place is not far from the market town. There are many people around, so we should be more restrained and don't forget the main purpose of our trip." Senior Brother Qiu's tone revealed no doubt.

"Haha! Senior Brother Qiu is very thoughtful. I would also like to congratulate Senior Brother Qiu for obtaining such a magical item as the 'Evergreen Spirit Saliva'."

"I didn't expect that a small family in the Great Zhou actually hid a fourth-level spiritual creature."

"By the way, Senior Brother Qiu, do you think that news is true or false? Is it really possible that Master Jackdaw escaped to Dajin?"

The thin monk complimented him first, and then seemed to think of something.

"Junior Brother Meng, this news came from several other fellow disciples, how could it be false?"

“Hehehe, it was said that it was Senior Sister Lan Bing who took action.”

"Her magical power of 'Ice Soul Magic Light' has been cultivated to the highest level, and it directly cost Master Jackdaw half his life."

"If it weren't for this incident, we would still be in the dark. I didn't expect that Senior Sister Lan, after years of seclusion, could even cultivate such a heaven-defying magical power."

"I think I will be able to suppress Senior Brother Jiang Yuan from now on."

The square-faced monk on the far right said with a look of envy.
