Chapter 401: Bulls, Demons, Gods and Snakes Gather at the Five Elements Mountain Range

In the years since Dali invaded Dazhou, countless refugee monks have poured into the border.

Even the southern region of Da Jin was no exception. No matter how it was controlled, many cultivators from Da Zhou still sneaked into Da Jin.

In recent years.

The Wuxing Mountain market has become a place where all kinds of people gather.

After the establishment of the Self-Defense Alliance, this situation has been alleviated a lot.

The Weidao League is a powerful force, and the Dajin immortal cultivation world is relatively stable, but from time to time there will be friction with the Dali forces.

Of course, it is also related to the death of the Holy Son of Demon, which made the Blood Refining Demon Sect and the Yin Demon Sect deeply wary of this side.

People are continuously sent to Dajin to investigate the death of the Holy Son.

But after a long time, still nothing was found.

In addition, with the outbreak of war, more and more wounded people poured into the border, and healing pills and life-saving items became hot commodities in the Wuxing Mountain Market.

High-level healing medicines are even more in short supply.

After Qin Ming refined the Tianluo Powder, he gave it to Lao Jia to take to the Wuxing Mountain Market to sell.

By the way, I told him that it was possible to exchange Tianluo Powder for high-level spiritual materials, not just spiritual stones.

After all, last time, Lao Jia exchanged the Soul-Cleansing Incense for the subsequent secret recipe of "The Divine Recipe of the Drunken Immortal", which was extremely worthwhile.

This gave him the opportunity to brew the legendary Demonic Flame Wine, which could help cultivators break through to the Golden Elixir realm.

As Tianluo Powder is a top-grade third-grade precious medicine, I believe there are many Jindan cultivators who are willing to exchange it for spiritual materials.

In the small spiritual realm, Qin Ming was guiding the underground spiritual spring to water the spiritual plants.

In this medicinal field with the richest spiritual energy, he planted infant-bearing fruit, five-element spiritual ginseng, Taiyi Bodhi, and shape-changing magic grass, as well as a whole bottle of evergreen spiritual saliva obtained from the demon cultivator named Qiu.

He had already used the entries to produce several copies of the five main ingredients for refining the Ningying Pill to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

These five spiritual materials, if placed individually in the world of immortal cultivation, are all extremely rare and precious items, and are only in the hands of the Nascent Soul Sect.

It is the foundation for cultivating a Yuanying Zhenjun.

But for Qin Ming, he only needs to get a spiritual material and then he can continue to use entries to generate them.

Five rare main materials, plus a dozen fourth-level rare auxiliary materials, and more than one hundred third-level auxiliary materials.

Such a huge amount of high-level resources would be difficult to gather even if the Lihuo Palace of Dajin put all its strength together, it would take hundreds of years.

With some luck, Qin Ming, with the help of Hua Tianxiong and Su Yuqing, spent several decades collecting and finally gathered most of the spiritual materials needed to refine the Nengying Pill.

All the materials needed to refine the Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill have been collected.

"Right now, the only materials left for refining the Infant Condensation Pill are the last few third-level auxiliary materials. Hua Tianxiong should be able to get them soon."

This day.

Qin Ming completed his daily practice and came to the spiritual field.

Of the two hundred acres of fourth-grade branch spiritual fields in the Five Elements Mountain, only the one hundred acres of third-grade Jade Emperor spiritual rice planted by Li Lan had not yet matured.

The maturity period of Jade Emperor Rice is generally about ten years. If it is well fed, it can be advanced.

Qin Ming observed the situation in the spiritual field. The emerald-like Jade Emperor Spiritual Rice had grown to more than ten feet tall, like a large bamboo forest.

With Li Lan's careful feeding, the crops are growing quite well and I think the yield will not be too bad when they are harvested.

"Manager Lu, you're here!" Li Lan saw Qin Ming coming and hurried over to greet him.

Qin Ming said calmly: "Well, you did a good job."

"This batch of Jade Emperor Spiritual Rice is estimated to be harvested two years ahead of schedule. I originally planned to let you farm here for another thirty years."

“But now the situation is beginning to become chaotic. After the Jade Emperor’s spiritual rice is harvested, although these two hundred acres of spiritual fields are good, they will have to be abandoned.”

"In the past two years, I have asked Lao Jia to move Jingxue Pavilion's assets to Zhongzhou. After we harvest this season's spiritual plants, you can come with us."

After listening to Qin Ming's words, Li Lan quickly responded.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Lu. I will definitely do what I promised before."

"Being able to move to Zhongzhou to work is something that many casual cultivators dream of. I will definitely do my best and will not let down Shopkeeper Lu's kindness."

Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he flew towards the Wuxing Mountain Market.

As soon as Qin Ming arrived near the Wuxing Mountain Market, he could clearly feel that more cultivators were entering and leaving the market.

Even some seriously injured monks were rushing in.

However, if these foreign monks want to enter the market, they must pay a considerable amount of spirit stones in order to enjoy the protection of the Weidao League.

After Qin Ming entered the market town, he walked towards Jingxue Pavilion.

However, they saw that Jingxue Pavilion had been surrounded by a crowd of people, including some cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lao Jia and the guys in the store were all busy and sweating profusely.

He was just hesitating whether to go in when he happened to run into an old acquaintance on the street.

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Lu, long time no see."

"Your Jingxue Pavilion is extremely popular right now! Hahaha! I didn't expect to run into you here again."

The person who came was Han Yuan. He was currently patrolling the market town with a team of cultivators from the Wei Dao League.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Han has been promoted? Congratulations!" Qin Ming saw Han Yuan wearing the blue and white uniform of the Wei Dao League and couldn't help but ask, "Where are Fellow Daoists Gao Feng and Liu Ye?"

"Alas! Don't mention it. The number of cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain Market has increased dramatically recently, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. I am just filling in wherever there is a need."

"Gao Feng and Liu Ye, they have also been sent to the outer patrol camp."

Although Han Yuan said this, Qin Ming could still see that there was a hint of high spirits in his expression.

Apparently, being in charge of patrolling in the market town was a lucrative job.

Usually, Han Yuan and the other two were quite considerate. Relying on Qin Ming's personal relationship, they often took good care of Jingxue Pavilion.

"Friend Lu, why don't we go to Yufeng Tower for a chat?"

"I think your Jingxue Pavilion is too busy, with too many people and too many eyes." Han Yuan suggested.

Qin Ming nodded and agreed: "Okay."

He also wanted to ask Han Yuan about some recent inside information.

Subsequently.

The two of them came to the window seat on the third floor of Yufeng Tower, ordered a table of food and wine, and started chatting.

It wasn't even dinner time, and they were the only table of people on the entire third floor.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn't expect you to have so many connections! You can even get a precious medicine like Tianluo Powder that can bring people back to life."

"Now the number of cultivators queuing up for medicine at Jingxue Pavilion can reach two miles every day. It's really exaggerated, haha!"

"Now, a bottle of Tianluo Powder has been sold for twenty high-grade spirit stones, and there are still many forces competing to buy it!"

"Friend Han, you are too kind. It's just a small business."

Although Qin Ming had anticipated that the life-saving elixir would be in great demand, he did not expect it to be so outrageous.

He then took out a jade bottle from his arms and placed it in front of Han Yuan. "Haha! Thanks to the three Taoist friends for taking care of our pavilion over the years. Here is a small gift from me."

"Brother Lu, look at what you said. It's too polite." Han Yuan opened the jade bottle after saying this, but stood there in a daze.

"Tianluo San!!"

"Friend Lu, this item is too precious. How can I afford it?"

Han Yuan knew clearly that now that the three of them were on patrol, they would inevitably have to fight with others.

This medicine can save their lives at a critical moment. "It's just a little spiritual medicine, Brother Han, please don't refuse it." Qin Ming said with a faint smile.

Han Yuan was excited, and reluctantly accepted the elixir. He said solemnly, "Thank you very much, Brother Lu. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

"I would also like to offer a glass to Fellow Daoist Lu on behalf of Gao Feng and Liu Ye. This is the new Bi Bo wine from Yu Feng Tower. Please try it."

"They are both on duty out there, busy with their work, so they don't have the luxury of eating this meal."

Afterwards, Han Yuan told Qin Ming about some things in the Wei Dao League.

He first poured a glass of spiritual wine for Qin Ming, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Daoyou Lu, I heard that a Yuanying Zhenjun once came to your spiritual field. Is this true?"

Qin Ming didn't expect that the other party knew this, so he nodded without hiding it.

"That's right, but that senior came to order some high-grade spiritual rice."

"I didn't stay long."

hiss~
Han Yuan confirmed this from Qin Ming, but he was still a little surprised.

After all, he is the top existence in the world of immortal cultivation and the chess player who truly controls the game.

"Brother Daoist Lu, could you please tell us which senior True Lord it is?" Han Yuan's curiosity was aroused first.

"It's Senior Master Jackdaw from Xuanqing Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I didn't expect it to be Senior Jackdaw!" Han Yuan sighed, and then continued, "Not long ago, True Lord Jackdaw brought Xuanqing Temple to join the Defense Alliance."

"It was rumored that Senior Jackdaw was seriously injured, but I didn't expect him to recover so quickly."

“It’s really incredible.”

Speaking of which.

Han Yuan raised his hand and cast a soundproof barrier, then said to Qin Ming, "I've heard some inside information from the alliance. Something is not right with the Five Elements Mountain Range recently. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."

"I suggest that if Fellow Daoist Lu has any connections, it would be better to stay away from this troubled place. Alas!"

"Oh? Why do you say that, Brother Han?" Qin Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw that he was talking about the business.

"It seems that the upper echelons of the Lihuo Palace have planted spies in the Shendao Mountain and have secretly found out a very important piece of information in the Five Elements Mountain Range."

"There is a lot of panic inside the Wei Dao League right now. It feels quite bad."

"Another thing that is certain is that Shendao Mountain has completely sided with the Dali Yin Demon Sect. Even if the incident with the Five Elements Mountain hadn't happened, I'm afraid that in the near future, the long-standing conflicts between the two sides would erupt again sooner or later."

"Once Shintosan changes its position."

"A war is probably inevitable."

"Therefore, the current southern region of Dajin is not a good place."

"The three of us are helpless and have no choice to escape."

"Brother Lu must have seen that the number of cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain Market has increased suddenly. Some of these cultivators are secretly deployed by major forces."

Han Yuan sighed after he finished speaking.

"I see. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for letting me know."

Qin Ming drank a glass of spirit wine, thinking about something in his mind.

"It seems that paper cannot cover fire. Shendao Mountain and Yinmo Sect failed to conceal the secret of the ancient Qingyuan Sect and were discovered by Lihuo Palace."

"In this case, many monks will die in order to fight for this secret place. A war is inevitable."

"At the moment, it is only because the Seven Wonderful Treasures Tree at the entrance of the secret realm has not yet bloomed that the secret realm has not been opened, so these major forces have not immediately torn their faces apart."

Qin Ming pondered for a long time, and then asked Han Yuan:
"What is the current internal composition of the Wei Dao League?"

Han Yuan replied, "The Defense Alliance was initiated by the Lihuo Palace, and the conditions for joining the alliance are still very harsh."

"The Dao Defense Alliance only accepts Yuanying-level forces to join, representing the top forces in the world of immortal cultivation. Currently, they are Lihuo Palace, Wandao Merchant Alliance, Xuanqing Temple, and Yuanying-level independent cultivators."

"But it is said that some forces with great monks who have achieved Golden Core Perfection are barely qualified."

"But it has to pass the evaluation of the alliance members."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for telling me. In fact, I, Lu, had the same idea. In the past two years, I have secretly transferred Jingxue Pavilion's assets to Zhongzhou of Dajin." Qin Ming toasted the other party with a glass of wine.

"It turns out that I was worrying too much. Fellow Daoist Lu has a far-sighted vision. I don't need to worry at all, haha!"

……

After the two of them communicated for a while.

Han Yuan still had to go on patrol in the market town, so he said goodbye and left.

Qin Ming was alone, sitting at a table next to the windowsill, tasting wine by himself, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, thinking about everything in his mind.

Soon, more and more monks came to the restaurant to eat.

The third floor was also full of people and became lively.

The monks at the surrounding tables were talking about it.

"Alas, isn't Jingxue Pavilion's Tianluo Powder too expensive? After just a few days, the price has risen to twenty high-grade spirit stones."

“Who can afford this?”

"You don't have to worry about it. There are plenty of people who want it! After all, this medicine can instantly heal the injuries of even a Jindan cultivator, and bring the dead back to life."

"With this medicine, as long as it's not an instant fatal injury, it's like having an extra life. Who wouldn't want it?"

"That's right, that's right. The more advanced the cultivator is, the more they care about their lives."

"Besides, they also said that if there are any rare spiritual objects, they can be exchanged!"

"Alas, such luxury items are beyond our reach. Twenty high-quality spirit stones are enough to buy several high-level life-saving magic tools."

"By the way, there is another explosive news. Have you heard about it?"

"I heard that Grandmaster Su Yuqing of Longting Lake in Zhongzhou of Dajin has recently refined a fourth-level lower-grade Yuanshen Pill and has been promoted to the realm of Pill King."

"Master Sudan is truly a man of extraordinary talent in the path of alchemy, and has become the youngest fourth-rank alchemy king in the history of the Great Jin Cultivation World."

"It is said that the Longting Lake Su family has received an invitation from the Wei Dao League."

"Then the Lihuo Palace must be regretting to death. They agreed to let the Su family separate from the sect."

"You know, there is only one fourth-rank Dan King in charge of Lihuo Palace now."

"The third-grade superior Tianluo powder is not something that anyone can refine. I heard that Jingxue Pavilion has some connections with the Sultan King."

"Could this medicine be from his hand?"

"..."

Qin Ming held a wine glass in his hand, listening to the news around him, and secretly sighed in his heart:

"I didn't expect Brother Su to progress so quickly. He has already reached the fourth-level alchemist level without making any noise."

at this time.

A person slowly walked up the stairwell on the third floor.

This person was dressed in a black feather robe, had a fair complexion, black hair tied up in a crown, a slightly pointed nose, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and always had a faint smile on his face.

He looked around the third floor and saw that it was full of people.

Then, his eyes fell on Qin Ming's table by the windowsill.

Seeing that Qin Ming was drinking alone and there was no one sitting opposite him, he walked over and asked with a gentle smile:

"My fellow Taoist, may I take this seat?"
