Chapter 519 Investment
"Everyone is bright, but I am alone in darkness"

"A century of vicissitudes, watching the ebb and flow of the tide with a smile"

On the Moon-Watching Island, Qin Ming was lying on a wooden chair under a spiritual peach tree, with the Sky-Eating Rat and the Little Silver Fox serving him by burning incense and brewing tea.

He looked leisurely at the spiritual farmers working in the spiritual fields under the island, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Now that the spiritual veins in his small spiritual realm have been upgraded to the fifth-level spiritual vein environment, there is naturally no need to take the risk of going to a dangerous place like Yuanji Mountain to search for treasures.

According to the old demon Qingyang, as long as one keeps on cultivating the land steadily, the path to becoming a god will be just around the corner.

The island has become much quieter these days, and the number of fellow Yuanying practitioners coming to visit has gradually decreased.

Otherwise, Qin Ming would be quite troubled.

"It seems that being too good is also a problem. They all come to me to form a team."

During this time.

Qin Ming estimated that some cultivators had already entered Yuanji Mountain, and an old monster like Diaoyunsou, who possessed secret information, would definitely be one step ahead of them.

He was playing with the Yuanji Order in his hand, his eyes flickering, and was thinking about whether to sell it. Such a treasure would surely fetch a good price.

Those Yuanying fellows who are fighting tooth and nail and trying every possible means to enter Yuanji Mountain will definitely be willing to pay any price for this thing.

As he was thinking about it, he saw a startling green rainbow flash by outside and land outside Wangyue Island.

The escaping light dissipated, revealing the figure of Master Jackdaw.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Qin. You have improved your cultivation. I am really envious of you."

The young man in a green robe greeted Qin Ming with a smile on his face.

Qin Ming curled his lips. This guy never comes here for no reason. Most likely he is here for the matter of Yuanji Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Jackdaw, how are you? Please come and chat on the island."

Qin Ming welcomed him into the Qingmu Pavilion on the island, and then ordered the Sky-Devouring Rat to serve him spiritual tea.

After the two chatted for a while.

Master Jackdaw showed a meaningful smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin is still free and easy! Unlike me, who is already old and still has to work hard."

"I heard that old fellow Diaoyunsou came to see Fellow Daoist Qin again?"

"That's right. He exchanged some magical rice and tea from Qin's place, and then left." Qin Ming nodded in reply.

Master Jackdaw said with emotion: "This old guy is really something! I heard that he was one step ahead of others and actually found a way to enter Yuanji Mountain. He has already entered quietly."

"Oh! It's really infuriating!"

"I wonder if he has mentioned this to Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Qin naturally knows a thing or two, but I have made an agreement with Diaoyun Sou that I must keep my mouth shut about his affairs."

"Ah? So that's how it is. This old guy is really cautious in his actions." Master Jackdaw didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

Seeing this, Qin Ming said, "However, Qin knows some information about Yuanji Mountain, which I can share with Daoist Fellow Jackdaw."

"Didn't I ask the Sky-Eating Rat to bring a message to Fellow Daoist Jackdaw? That place is where ancient cultivators fought a great battle. There are countless powerful forbidden formations. It is truly a place where demons fall. It can be said to be the source of the decline of the spiritual energy in the human world. Why would Fellow Daoist Jackdaw risk his life there again?"

"Alas! Fellow Daoist Qin, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. I am going on this trip only to seek a glimmer of opportunity. I know that I don't have many years left to live, otherwise I would not have taken such a risky move unless I was forced to this point." Master Jackdaw sighed.

Qin Ming sighed when he heard this. It seemed that these old monsters were really helpless.

Unlike himself, who has a lifespan of 5,000 years and is as steady as an old dog.

So, he took out the 'Yuan Ji Ling' again and handed it to Master Jackdaw.

"What is this, Fellow Daoist Qin?" Master Jackdaw took the dark-colored black wooden token.

Qin Ming immediately explained the function of the Yuanji Order in detail.

Master Jackdaw was so excited when he heard this that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the token. "What?! Yuanji Token!"

"Holding this order, you will not be affected by the power of Jishan!"

"And they can freely enter and exit the three major palaces of Yuanji Mountain without being restricted by the formations inside!"

After listening to it, he realized that this item was inestimable.

With this token, the chance of survival in entering the secret realm to hunt for treasures has increased by more than several times.

Master Jackdaw was holding onto the Yuanji Order, and was even reluctant to let it go. He asked earnestly, "I wonder what conditions Fellow Daoist Qin would like to exchange for this item?"

"Hey! Qin knows that fellow Daoist Jackdaw has a rich background. If you can come up with something of equal value, we can naturally exchange it. Anyway, Qin will not go to Yuanji Mountain. I got this token unintentionally and I have no use for it."

"Since Fellow Daoist Jackdaw needs it, Qin is naturally happy to exchange it."

Upon hearing this, Master Jackdaw immediately said with embarrassment:

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Qin, the Xuanqing Temple's assets have gone through the decline of the sect, as well as the consumption of the war between the righteous and the evil over the past hundred years. I have almost used up all of them, and there is not much left."

"I am short of money right now, and I can't find any treasure that matches the Yuanji Order." Qin Ming: "."

Qin Ming was startled when he heard the voice. He never expected that even a great Taoist like Duobao would have a day when he would empty his treasure house.
After comprehensive consideration, he thought of making a deal with Diao Yunsou.

So Qin Ming proposed a compromise: "It's not a bad idea to give the Yuanji Order to Daoist Fellow Jackdaw, but if Daoist Fellow returns safely with the treasure, Qin will take any treasure from your harvest. What do you think?"

"Fellow Daoist Jackdaw is not an outsider. Qin believes in your credibility, so there is no need to leave anything as a guarantee. Just consider it as an investment in you."

"Deal!" The Crow Master gritted his teeth and agreed readily.

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Jackdaw a triumphant return. I, Qin, will be waiting for good news here." Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qin. I still have this bit of credibility and reputation. But what if I am lucky enough to obtain a divine object or a spiritual treasure? After all, although the Yuanji Order is extremely precious, but..." Master Jackdaw thought for a moment and then said.

Qin Ming smiled even more when he heard this. "Since Brother Jackdaw needs this Yuanji Order, he naturally needs to take risks. If you are lucky, maybe you can get two top treasures? Then both of us will be happy."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is absolutely right. If there is only one thing, I can only accept my fate. As long as I can obtain something that can help me break through the realm before my lifespan runs out, this trip will not be in vain." Master Jackdaw nodded in agreement.

The Sky-Eating Rat was holding a teapot, watching the conversation between the two. It was stunned, thinking that these two old guys had not yet found the treasure, but they were already discussing how to divide it.
After some discussion, Master Jackdaw was overjoyed and left Moon Watching Island with a look of joy on his face, heading straight for Yuanji Mountain.
Qin Ming watched the other party leave and sighed, hoping that Master Jackdaw could come back.

Including Diao Yunsou, he has invested in two fellow Taoists.

If they both come back safe and sound, it will be a great success.

And you don’t have to take any risk, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

……

A few months later.

Undercurrents are surging in the world of immortal cultivation, and the situation has become treacherous again.

According to the information Qin Ming had obtained from various sources, he had already learned that many Nascent Soul cultivators had entered Yuanji Mountain.

Even the Yuanying Zhenjun of the righteous and evil paths fought outside Yuanji Mountain, and two of them died before entering the mountain.
"Master, are you really not going to go?" The Sky-Eating Rat said with a smile while kneading Qin Ming's shoulders.

"Let them do whatever they want. This time when Yuanji Mountain appears, I guess all the old monsters in the Spiritualization Stage have quietly gone in."

“We don’t know how many Nascent Soul cultivators will be able to come out alive by then. It’s better for us to stay away from such excitement.” Qin Ming said calmly.

"That's right! The master is wise, brave, and extremely steady." The Sky-Eating Rat licked at the right time.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming took out a jade slip with a photo and looked through it carefully. It recorded the ancient formation under the Shajiabao mine.

The array patterns and restrictions were so complicated that even Qin Ming, with his knowledge, was overwhelmed. He consulted a large number of classics but was unable to find any relevant clues.

"It seems that professional things need to be done by professionals."

Several Nascent Soul fellows in the world of immortal cultivation who were proficient in formations had all entered the secret realm of Yuanji Mountain, making it impossible for Qin Ming to find Qingjiao for a while.

Originally, he wanted to find Tianjizi of the Xiyou Kuzhu Sect. In addition to his sharp divination skills, this man was also extremely proficient in mechanical puppets and formations.

He is a true fourth-rank mid-grade formation master.

Unfortunately, even he was tricked by Master Jackdaw into going to Yuanji Mountain to seek opportunities together.

Qin Ming couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

"My dear Qin, in my opinion, that formation is most likely to lead directly to a certain location in Yuanji Mountain. After all, it needs top-grade spirit stones to activate it, so it must be at least a fifth-level formation. I don't think those fourth-level formation masters can repair it. It's just a waste of effort."

The old demon Qingyang had some knowledge and spoke directly in the Blood Pagoda.

Qin Mingwen felt that there was some truth in what he said, because he could also sense something in the last words of the ancient cultivator.

However, he still did not give up on this matter and asked Hua Tianxiong and Mo Lingwei to help him collect books about ancient formations or cultivators with profound formation skills.

After Qin Ming gave his instructions, he came to the small spiritual realm.

He now has more than ten entries of "Time flies" in his sea of ​​consciousness, and is ready to try to ripen the Seven Wonderful Treasures Tree again to see if it can be advanced to the fifth level this time.

Qin Ming came to the seven-wonderful treasure tree which was about ten feet high. He used five [Time Flies] in succession, a total of five thousand years of time power, on the coral-shaped treasure tree in front of him.

In the darkness, a vast and boundless power of time descended upon the Seven Wonderful Treasure Trees.

With the supply of the fifth-level spiritual veins in the small spiritual realm and the ripening of time, the treasure tree began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire trunk of the precious tree was suddenly illuminated by a glow, as if it was covered with circles of colorful precious light.

Gradually, above the Seven Wonderful Treasure Trees, the shadow of a thousand-foot-tall tree appeared again, towering up to the sky, standing between the heaven and earth of the small spiritual realm.

A mysterious and vicissitudes of life aura emanated from the treasure tree and filled the entire small spiritual realm. Qin Ming had only felt this kind of spiritual energy from the fifth-level sacred tree in Penglai Sect.

The entire Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree bloomed with billions of colorful lights, and countless star-like points of spiritual light gathered at the core of the tree, condensing into a fuzzy baby-shaped ball of light, which then disappeared above the treasure tree.

"A treasure tree gives birth to a spirit, a fifth-level spiritual plant!!"

In the Blood Pagoda, the old demon Qingyang felt the movement outside and woke up in a daze. Then he saw this incredible scene and opened his mouth in shock.
