Chapter 397 Future Planning
Qin Ming put all the books and jade slips back to their original places.

Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still extremely excited at this moment!

Such a large amount of cultivation materials were collected by Jiang Yuan, the Holy Son of the Blood Refining Demon Sect over many years, and also included many inheritances about the human world.

"Compared to those spiritual objects, the things on this bookshelf are truly priceless treasures."

"This is comparable to the core true teachings of the Huashen Sect."

“If I digest all the knowledge here, I will be able to surpass those cultivators from Yuanying sects in terms of knowledge and vision.”

"And he can master several kinds of magic inheritance."

"It's a pity that Master Jackdaw ran away with Xuanqing Temple's assets. If it had fallen into Jiang Yuan's hands, wouldn't it have been a waste for me?"

"Alas! What a pity!"

Qin Ming thought about this secretly, feeling extremely regretful.

In addition to these massive amounts of books and materials, Qin Ming discovered many bottles and jars in another area.

It is marked with what is inside and what it is used for.

Qin Ming opened a few of the bottles and checked them. Then, a strong and bloody aura rushed towards him.

"These bottles actually contain the essence and blood of high-level monsters!"

"Not only that, there is also the blood essence of high-level monsters in the Blood Realm."

Qin Ming looked excited. In this way, maybe his "Heavenly Demon Form Refining Strategy" could be improved further.

So he picked up the bottles and checked them one by one. Finally, he found a bottle of third-level perfect demon king's blood in a pitch-black jade bottle.

"The third level of perfection, the blood of the red-eyed sky-unicorn beast!"

Along with the rich blood energy, there was also a demon soul roaring inside. Qin Ming knew just by looking at it that this beast must be an extraordinary existence from the upper realm.

"This Demon Sect Saint is really a good man. He knew that I was in need of these treasures, so he packed them up and sent them to my door."

"With so many cultivation resources falling into my hands, the Yuanying old monsters of the Blood Refining Demon Sect must be eager to eat me."

"Fortunately, because of the power of the interface, those old monsters can't come down."

"The only one that I'm afraid of is the other Saintess of the Demon Sect. But it seems that as long as we don't get close to them, the blood ring curse on her body will not show up."

"This woman can even seriously injure Master Jackdaw. I'm afraid her strength is even higher than Jiang Yuan, comparable to a true Nascent Soul cultivator. It's better to stay away from her."

After finishing these, Qin Ming's gaze fell on that wisp of "original demonic energy" again.

"In order to activate this Origin Magic Bead, I guess I need to refine and control this wisp of magic energy. Even with the strength of the Demon Sect Saint, it seems that he has only refined one ten-thousandth of it."

“After all, this Origin Magic Bead is a magic treasure above the fourth level. Even if the magic power of the Demon Sect Saint is close to the Nascent Soul stage, if it is forcibly activated across the realm, the magic power will be exhausted in an instant.”

"I'm afraid that only by truly cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage can the Origin Magic Pearl exert its greatest power."

"However, if you want to refine this source of demonic energy, you must practice magic skills."

Qin Ming thought about it for a while, and decided to put it aside for the time being.

"It's really a take-off! This guy's treasure resources are enough for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

“Although there are some risks involved, it is worth it.”

"It's really a good decision to come to Dajin for this trip."

Subsequently.

Qin Ming's spiritual consciousness withdrew from the Origin Magic Pearl.

The Sky-Eating Rat beside him climbed onto his shoulder, tiptoed, gently massaged it and said, "Hey, hey, Master, look at that golden elixir of the Demon Sect's Saint."

As soon as Qin Ming saw his look, he knew what it was planning again.

"Don't worry, you guys are indispensable."

"I saw a pill called 'Bi Luo Huang Quan Dan' in the 'Blood Alchemy Sutra'."

"To refine this pill, one needs to grind the cultivator's golden elixir into fine powder, and use dozens of other precious medicinal materials as auxiliary materials. It will take 49 days to refine it."

"Moreover, the medicinal power of the Azure Spring Pill is determined by the grade of the cultivator's golden elixir. The deeper the cultivation level, the higher the grade of the pill when it is refined."

"This pill can not only greatly improve the cultivation of the demon cultivators, but it is also of great benefit to the demon race, and the improvement is quite great, hehehe!"

"I think if we use this golden elixir of the Demon Sect Saint to refine the 'Blue Sky Yellow Spring Pill', the grade will definitely be very high."

"It's possible that he could even refine the legendary third-grade top-grade elixir."

"After all, his cultivation has already reached the Golden Core Perfection stage, and he has even reached the stage of starting to nurture the Holy Fetus."

"I can't even imagine how wonderful it tastes when refined with his golden elixir."

Qin Ming had a smile on his face and spoke to the Sky-Devouring Rat in a deliberately persuasive manner.

Upon hearing this, the Sky-Eating Rat could hardly stop drooling and sucked in its saliva vigorously.

"Bi Luo Huang Quan Pill! This pill is very good! It's wonderful!"

"Hey hey! When will the master make it for us?"

The Silver-Winged Frost Bee and the Black Water Crocodile also shook their heads and rubbed their bodies against his trouser legs.

Obviously they can't wait any longer.

"Alright, alright, stop trying so hard. The three of you should behave well. I will naturally refine the Bi Luo Huang Quan Pill for you."

Immediately, Qin Ming rewarded the three beasts with some spiritual materials and elixirs, and let them practice and play.

After counting the harvest, Qin Ming left the small spiritual realm, walked out of the room, and prepared to inquire about the situation in the outside world.

Huoxuzi caused a scene at the auction and had a fight with Elder Jinhan in the Wuxing Mountain Market.

Half of the market was almost demolished.

Fortunately, it was Jingxue Pavilion's property and was not damaged. Only a few warehouses collapsed, so the impact was not great.

Qin Ming left the room and went to find Lao Jia to find out about the situation.

"Lao Jia, what's the situation outside?"

Old Jia came up and sighed: "Alas! Shopkeeper, I am so lucky to be able to save my life this time!"

"The Changfeng Company next door, which was just one street away from us, was completely pulverized by the aftermath of the battle between the Jindan Zhenren. More than 30 people were killed inside without a single survivor."

"I am so lucky to be alive and see Shopkeeper Lu again!"

"It's really a mess out there now."

"It is said that an extremely important saint of the Demon Sect fell in the Five Elements Mountains, causing a huge sensation in the world of immortal cultivation."

"That day, Elder Jin led the cultivators of the Weidao League to pursue Huoxuzi, but they were ambushed by the demons and their entire army was wiped out."

"Only Elder Jin Han managed to escape, but he was also seriously injured and his life or death is unknown."

“I heard that even the Yuanying ancestors of the Wandao Merchant Alliance and Lihuo Palace were alarmed by this matter.”

Qin Ming thought for a moment, then asked calmly, "Do you know who killed the Demon Sect Saint?"

"I don't know about that. But according to the intelligence sent back by this pavilion, I know that those people from the Demon Sect were probably preparing to ambush Master Jackdaw of Xuanqing Temple at that time."

“It’s just that Huoxuzi stole the grand prize, the Star Sea God Vine, and thus he stumbled upon the Demonic Path by accident.”

"There is another thing. President Hua of Qianji Trading Company was also chased by Huoxuzi at that time, but he returned to the headquarters unscathed."

"President Hua is truly incredible."

"There are dangers everywhere."

Lao Jia answered slowly.

"Well, Lao Jia, you did a good job. The Five Elements Mountain area is in trouble right now."

"In my opinion, we should shift the focus of the cabinet's development to Zhongzhou as soon as possible."

"In the near future, this place will probably face even greater chaos," Qin Ming said solemnly.

Old Jia was stunned for a moment. It had taken a lot of effort for their Jingxue Pavilion to establish a branch in the Wuxing Mountain Market. It hadn't been long since then. Were they going to move?

"Manager Lu, if that's the case, do we have to give up the spiritual field as well?"

The Five Elements Mountain Spiritual Field has been in operation for so long, and has brought them huge profits.

Even so, he now obviously respects Qin Ming's opinion very much and dares not have any other ideas.

"Well, I mean to plan ahead. As for the spiritual fields, when the Jade Emperor Spiritual Rice planted by Li Lan matures in a few years, we can transfer it to other forces after the harvest. We can make another profit." "As for Zhongzhou, I will say hello to the Wandao Merchant Alliance and allocate a store location within Tianxian City."

In just a few words, Qin Ming had already determined the future development direction.

Upon hearing that 'Shopkeeper Lu' already had a retreat plan, Lao Jia was delighted and quickly agreed.

"Yes! I will follow the instructions of Shopkeeper Lu."

"Well, go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of you if anything happens."

……

On the other side, deep in the Five Elements Mountains.

In the hidden mountain, on the black stone square, a young man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged in the center, with magical power surging in his body.

As time went on, the breath began to rise.

boom!
Suddenly.

A boundless wave of magical power spread out in the cave space.

The spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth, like a giant whale sucking water, poured into the body of the green-robed young man one after another.

If Qin Ming were here, he would be shocked to find that the demonic light and black energy that had been lingering on Master Jackdaw's Nascent Soul had completely disappeared.

At this moment, the injuries to Master Jackdaw's soul and spirit were completely recovered.

Suddenly.

Ripples appeared in the space, and a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from the young man in green robe!

He opened his deep eyes, slowly stood up, and left the straw mat he was sitting on.

“Hahaha! The elixir that the kid surnamed Lu gave me is indeed powerful! It allowed me to recover from all my injuries in such a short time.”

Because it stands to reason that it would take decades for a Nascent Soul True Lord to recover from an injury, let alone an injury to the Nascent Soul's soul.

It is not uncommon for it to take hundreds of years.

"Congratulations to the Grand Elder for his recovery! His cultivation has been restored!"

Elders Bai Yuhan and Luo Xi, who were guarding outside, hurried in upon hearing the noise and bowed deeply.

A long-lost smile also appeared on Master Jackdaw's handsome face. "It's still too early to fully recover my cultivation. After all, this body is from another body, so it will take some time."

"However, my Nascent Soul cultivation has recovered about 70%, so I can use some of my previous magical powers now."

Bai Yuhan was delighted when he heard this and said, "Then I, the disciple, wish the Grand Elder to return to the top as soon as possible and lead us to a comeback!"

"Well, that's natural. Elder Yuhan and Elder Luo, you two have done a great job. This time you have made great contributions. This ancestor will reward you."

"Also, you take the token and pass on the order of our ancestor to recall our core disciples and prepare for the next major event."

As Master Jackdaw spoke, he handed two ancient tokens and some spiritual objects as rewards to the two men with a flick of his finger.

Bai Yuhan took the item, looking very excited:
"Please rest assured, Lord Jackdaw!"

"Restore the glory of Xuanqing Temple! It is our duty!"

"Yes." Master Jackdaw nodded with satisfaction.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. Retaking the Xuanqing Temple of the Great Zhou will not be a matter of a day or a night."

"I have decided to join the Guardian Alliance and will jointly resist the invasion of the Demonic Path."

"Yes!" Bai Yuhan and Luo Xi bowed in response.

"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, you two can go back and do your work."

However, Bai Yuhan and Luo Xi looked at each other and then said, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, I have something else to report to you!"

"You were recovering from your injuries a few days ago, and we didn't dare to disturb your meditation."

"Go ahead." Master Jackdaw said calmly.

"That's right. There was a riot in the Five Elements Mountain Market some time ago. It is said that the Holy Son of the Blood Refining Demon Sect died in that battle." After Bai Yuhan finished speaking, he carefully watched the ancestor's reaction.

The voice just fell.

"what?!"

Master Jackdaw's eyes suddenly opened!

"Can you say that again?"

"what is going on?"

When he heard the news, his mood was shaken.

Others may not know the methods of the Demon Sect's Saint, but Master Jackdaw has fought with those two Saints.

Jiang Yuan, the Holy Son of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, holds an extremely difficult fourth-order magic bead in his hand, which gave him a lot of headaches at first.

Immediately, Bai Yuhan reported to Master Jackdaw everything that had happened some time ago in detail.

"I didn't expect that the Holy Son of the Blood Refining Demon Sect would actually die. This is actually good news for us."

"If there is only one Demon Saint left, the difficulty of my plan to retake the mountain gate will be reduced a lot."

"I don't know who did this."

Master Jackdaw narrowed his eyes slightly, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"It seems that there is still an old fellow lurking in the Five Elements Mountains. He is really too insidious. You must be more careful in your actions in the future."

"Yes!" Bai Yuhan replied.

Master Jackdaw's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said grimly: "Hehehe! If one of you dies, I will definitely avenge you when I recover my cultivation!"

Then, he seemed to remember something.

So he asked the two of them:

"By the way, do you know where that Shopkeeper Lu is now?"

"That little fellow actually took advantage of the fact that this ancestor was seriously injured and raised the price. He opened his mouth and exchanged for two fourth-level spiritual objects in succession."

"Others are fine, but the Five Elements Spiritual Ginseng is extremely precious and cannot be compared to ordinary fourth-level spiritual materials. Even our sect only has two of them, which are not enough for us. How can it be so easy to get it?"

"Although he saved my life, this is really too abominable!"

"I have to go find him in person and settle this account."

Master Jackdaw thought of the situation on that day, and the unyielding face of Shopkeeper Lu emerged in his mind.

He thought of the other party again and forced him to exchange the Five Elements Spiritual Ginseng.
Master Jackdaw has been in the world of immortal cultivation for a thousand years, and no one has ever dared to do this.

Times have changed. Now that he has regained his strength, it is natural for him to visit them in person.

Bai Yuhan was embarrassed when he heard this, and he stammered, "Grandmaster, Shopkeeper Lu bought a piece of spiritual farmland in the Five Elements Mountain."

“It’s always been there.”

"Alright, I understand."

……

The Five Elements Mountain spiritual field is full of vitality.

After Qin Ming returned to the spiritual field, he checked the growth of all the spiritual plants, which were pretty good.

The spiritual farmers of Jingxue Pavilion bowed respectfully when they saw him.

Li Lan was also sweating profusely as he was watering the Jade Emperor's spiritual rice using the Great Five Elements Spiritual Rain Technique.

The third-level Jade Emperor Spirit Rice has grown into a large emerald-colored bamboo forest.

After some instructions and greetings from Li Lan.

Qin Ming went to feed his ten acres of Tianluo fruit.

at this time.

The Sky-Devouring Rat ran back from outside and said to Qin Ming with an excited look:
"Master, someone wants to see you, hehehe!"
