Chapter 523 Beginning

Wangyue Island, inside the cave.

After Qin Ming refined the Xutian Pill, he put two of the pills into a bottle, then took one out and swallowed it himself.

The pill melts in the mouth, and a strange and fragrant aroma fills the body.

In the dark, the medicinal power of Xutian Pill was instantly released, and the huge vitality was directly integrated into the Nascent Soul of Zifu Lingtai.

Qin Ming could clearly feel that his life span had increased by another two hundred years.

Although his lifespan is now a terrifying five thousand years, he can even outlive a Spirit Transformation Master.

But when it comes to things like lifespan, Qin Ming would never have too much, no matter how much.

It's just a fourth-grade, top-grade Xutian Pill, and like other life-extending elixirs, it only has the effect of extending life the first time you take it.

After refining the medicinal power, Qin Ming stood up and stretched out his hand, taking the ancient poisonous flame back into his body for nourishment.

Then the Lingwang Cauldron in front of him turned into a small green cauldron, spun around, and fell into his hands.

Qin Ming's spiritual sense swept towards the bottom of the spirit cauldron and he found that through this alchemy, another Yi wood essence was born.

He picked it up immediately and fed it to his natal spiritual plant, the Immortal Vine.

As the essence was absorbed, the black vines stretched out, emitting a cheerful mood, and grew a little more.

After the alchemy is over.

He walked out of the cave and called Hua Tianxiong over.

Then he threw a jade bottle containing Xu Tian Dan to him and instructed:

"Go and give this pill to Qi Xiaoyu, and also ask him about the progress of repairing the formation."

Hua Tianxiong hurriedly took the pill, feeling a chill in his heart.

"I didn't expect that the master could successfully refine a fourth-grade, top-grade longevity-enhancing elixir."

"You should know that this is one of the most miraculous elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Isn't it this thing that those Yuanying old monsters are willing to fight for at all costs and to break their heads to get?"

He carefully put away the jade bottle and replied respectfully:

"Yes! I will follow the master's orders and deliver the things as soon as possible."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, and then Hua Tianxiong went to work without stopping.

After half a month.

In the Hidden Immortal Valley, Qi Xiaoyu was studying the ancient formation given by Qin Ming.

He was surrounded by thick piles of calculation papers and various formation practice boards.

Over the past few months, Qi Xiaoyu has devoted himself to the repair of this formation. He has been working day and night and has forgotten to eat and sleep. It can be said that he has tried his best.

Not only that, he was also deeply attracted by this ancient formation, almost to the point of obsession, and entered a mysterious realm.

Such a crazy spirit of research, in addition to his extraordinary talent, is also one of the reasons why he was able to practice the art of formation to such a high level.

The maid in simple clothes brought some spiritual food and spiritual porridge, and advised with some concern: "Sir, eat something and rest first. You have been awake for many days."

"Cui'er, time is running out. I have to break this formation as soon as possible." Qi Xiaoyu came back to his senses from his immersive state and smiled at the maid.

Then he took the bowl of spiritual porridge, drank it in one gulp, and threw himself into his research again.

The maid shook her head and was about to say something else.

Qi Xiaoyu put away the array pattern spirit board in his hand, and suddenly his brows relaxed, and said with a little surprise:
"There is a visitor, Cui'er, please welcome him in."

The maid Xiao Cui was stunned when she heard this. The Hidden Immortal Valley was almost never open, and her Master Qi even avoided meeting Nascent Soul cultivators.

The only person who had met him before was Master Wangyue from the Southern Wilderness.

As soon as she thought of this, she knew who was coming.

"Yes, sir!" She responded, took out the control token of the Mirage Array, and hurried out.

After a while.

The maid Cui'er brought the pot-bellied Hua Tianxiong into the wooden house.

After Hua Tianxiong entered, he hurriedly greeted Qi Xiaoyu and said, "Junior Hua Tianxiong, hello to Master Qi!"

"Well, there's no need to be so polite. You are Fellow Daoist Qin's subordinate, but did he send you to inquire about the progress of the formation repair?" Qi Xiaoyu was extremely smart and naturally judged the other party's intention at a glance.

"This ancient formation is not like an ordinary fifth-level formation. It takes a certain amount of time to complete."

Upon hearing this, Hua Tianxiong hurriedly took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it over, explaining, "Replying to Senior Qi, in addition to this matter, my master asked me to bring this pill to you."

"Oh?" Qi Xiaoyu showed a hint of doubt and took the jade bottle from Hua Tianxiong.

However, when he opened the bottle stopper, when a fourth-grade upper-grade azure-colored elixir appeared inside, his face was moved and he said, "Xu Tian Dan! This..."

"Young Master is so kind! It's actually a fourth-grade longevity elixir!" Cui'er, who was standing aside, showed a look of disbelief after seeing that it was the Xu Tian Pill. She covered her mouth and almost cried with joy.

"Hehe! My master is a fourth-rank top-grade Alchemy King. Refining the Xutian Pill is naturally a piece of cake for him. I just hope that Senior Qi can repair the ancient formation as soon as possible and complete the agreement of that day." Hua Tianxiong said proudly.

Qi Xiaoyu saw the hope of survival, and naturally he was overjoyed and grateful: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, on behalf of Qi. Please let him rest assured that the research on the ancient formation has made some progress. Since Fellow Daoist Qin is so trustworthy, I will not break my promise."

“However, Qi never expected that Fellow Daoist Qin’s attainments in alchemy were so high that he could even refine such a heaven-defying elixir.”

"I originally only heard that Fellow Daoist Qin was a genuine fourth-rank upper-grade spiritual plant master, but I didn't expect that his alchemy skills were also beyond reach."

When one's cultivation of immortal arts reaches the fourth-order upper grade, only the Shenhua sect in the immortal cultivation world can cultivate one.

People like Qi Xiaoyu himself and Qin Ming are exceptions.

After all, without complete inheritance, it is difficult to practice a skill to such a high level by relying solely on one's own exploration.

Hua Tianxiong agreed and finished his job. When he was about to say goodbye and leave, he was stopped by the other party.

"Wait a minute, my friend Hua."

Hua Tianxiong showed a puzzled look, turned back and asked, "Senior Qi, do you want me to tell the master anything else?"

Qi Xiaoyu took out a chessboard formation and handed it over, saying, "This is the Miro Zhoutian formation, a fourth-level top-grade formation that combines offense and defense. It is the result of my life's hard work. It is also a token of my appreciation. Please pass it on to Fellow Daoist Qin on my behalf."

"Thank you very much, Senior Qi. I will definitely bring it there." Hua Tianxiong's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to take the chessboard.

It was not difficult for him to see that Qi Xiaoyu did not want to owe Qin Ming such a big favor.

Things done.

Qi Xiaoyu personally escorted Hua Tianxiong out of the valley.

Then he took out the Xutian Pill, and a hint of joy appeared on his pale face.

"I didn't expect it! I thought my immortal path would end here, but now there is hope again."

……

After Hua Tianxiong returned to Wangyue Island, he reported the truth to Qin Ming and handed over the fourth-grade top-grade formation to Qin Ming. Qin Ming took over the Miro Zhoutian formation, his eyes stayed on the chessboard for a long time, and he said leisurely: "This Qi Xiaoyu is really a wonderful person, he is willing to give away such a top-grade formation."

"It seems that just as he said, the reason why this person can only reach the fourth-level upper-grade array master is that the materials limit his progress."

"If we give him enough room to maneuver, what will happen in the future?"

"Such a talented person is worth making friends with."

Afterwards, Qin Ming walked out of Qingmu Pavilion.

He used his magical powers to remove the fourth-level defensive formation that was originally set up on Wangyue Island.

Then, Qin Ming followed the formation given by Qi Xiaoyu and directed his Nascent Soul magic power to the chessboard. The chess pieces turned into meteors and scattered around the entire Moon-Watching Island along a certain trajectory.

hum~
Countless strange black and white runes began to float in the sky above the Spirit Island, forming a huge starlight curtain, and a vast and boundless formation was formed in an instant.

It was as if there was a new starry sky above Wangyue Island.

Mo Lingwei, Hua Tianxiong and others on the island looked up at this shocking scene, unable to control themselves for a long time.

Qin Ming took out some high-quality spirit stones from his storage bag and filled them into the core of the formation.

After setting up the formation, he took out two chess pieces and gave them to Hua Tianxiong and Mo Lingwei. With these items, they could freely control the Miro Zhoutian formation.

"The fourth-level top-level attack and defense formation, the magical power it exerts is comparable to that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. As long as there is no God Transformation Master coming to attack, this place is impregnable."

"But to activate the attacking power, you need a huge amount of high-quality spirit stones to activate it. You two just need to do it according to your ability." Qin Ming gave a few instructions.

"Yes, I will follow the island master's orders!"

Hua Tianxiong and the other two were also very excited. They never thought that one day they would be able to control such a powerful formation!

"Master, I have one more thing to report to you. I went to visit Senior Qi on this trip. When I passed the border of Xiyou, I found a large number of traces of demon monks. It seems that they are gathering on a large scale. I am afraid that they will take some action next."

"Well, I already know that this time the war between good and evil will most likely spread to the Southern Wilds."

"I don't think we can escape this. Let Wei Wuya continue to keep a close eye on the defenses of Southern Wilderness." Qin Ming nodded and gave the order.

……

After March.

The demons launched an all-out offensive, sweeping towards the world of immortal cultivation.

Even the border of the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World had been breached by several large immortal cities, and there was a trend of continuing to advance inside.

Not only that, the Canghai Immortal City was also attacked fiercely, and even a Nascent Soul Demon Lord came.

Canghai Zhenren Nalan Xi had to ask for help from Wangyue Island, and Qin Ming immediately sent out the Sky-Devouring Rat to resolve the crisis.

The situation in the Southern Wilderness's world of immortal cultivation is like this, and the situation in the other major worlds of immortal cultivation is even more dire.

The city was breached, and countless cultivators became blood food for the demons. Their souls were extracted to refine magic weapons, and this scene continued to unfold.

Inside Aoki Pavilion.

Qin Ming was browsing through the latest intelligence sent back. The information on his desk had piled up into a thick mountain.

All in all, there is no good news, only information about failures on the front lines of various countries.

"It shouldn't be possible, right?"

"Those Yuanying old monsters in the human world are trapped in Yuanji Mountain, but aren't those old demons in the Xuehuan world also trapped in Yuanji Mountain?"

"How could such a big change in the war situation occur?"

Qin Ming finished browsing a piece of information and murmured in confusion.

at this time.

Outside, Mo Lingwei walked into the hall in a hurry. After decades of experience, this woman not only had a fairy-like temperament, but also had a heroic spirit.

"Reporting to the island master, according to accurate intelligence from the scouts, a large group of elite demons were found gathering outside the Wei Kingdom. They belong to the three major Blood Realm demon sects, Changsheng Temple, Wuliang Mountain, and Guixu Palace. There are hundreds of thousands of them. Under the leadership of Baimu Taoist of Changsheng Temple, their target is our Lingqi Islands."

"Oh? They are coming for us?" Qin Ming was surprised. "It looks like the demons are coming with great force!"

Mo Lingwei and Hua Tianxiong, who were standing below, were a little restless when they received this information.

But now that Qin Ming knew about it, he didn't care at all.
Qin Ming naturally knew some information about this 'Hundred-Eyed Taoist'. Through his understanding of the memories of the Seven Sacred Demon Lord, he learned that this person was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The reason why the other party is called the Taoist of a Hundred Eyes is because the magical powers he cultivates are related to collecting the power of the evil eyes. He sacrifices various eyeballs with bloodline magical powers, and then refines and transplants them into his own body.

The Seventh Demon Lord had seen him several times before, and was disgusted by his unique appearance.

The reason why Qin Ming was not panicked was because he was confident in his current strength.

Now his body refining ability has greatly improved, and he has cultivated the second level of "Demon's True Power Art". He can defeat a late Nascent Soul cultivator with just the strength of his physical body.

In addition, the power of his natal spiritual treasure has also greatly increased, and he has a lifespan reserve of 5,000 years.

Not to mention the late Nascent Soul stage, even if he was in the Spiritualization stage, if Qin Ming was forced into a corner and fought with him for his lifespan, he could kill him.
The most important thing is that Qin Ming guessed that the Demon Lord of the Blood World had also entered Yuanji Mountain, so it was naturally impossible for him to come out so quickly.

Therefore, he was not panicked at all.

In the face of the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, no matter how many demon cultivators there are, it will be useless.

Moreover, the enemy is only sending a large army to the border but has not yet shown any offensive posture, which shows that they are still quite afraid of the strength of Nanhuang.

The Moon-Watching Island is now protected by a fourth-grade top-grade formation, so these demon cultivators are nothing to be afraid of.

……

While several people were talking.

Far away at the border between the Southern Wilderness and the East China Sea coastline, countless magic warships stood in a row, and underneath were magic tents of all sizes, ready to fight at any time.

On a thousand-foot-long pitch-black magic ship, three Nascent Soul Demon Lords stood quietly.

A short and fat Taoist fireman, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament, whose face was densely covered with fine lines, just like the slits between closed eyes, and the last one was a copper-skinned monk with a rough appearance.

"Old Monster Baimu, I heard that even Taoist Liuyu was defeated by Master Wangyue of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World. With the three of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him!" Taoist Huogong was also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He reminded, "How about we wait a little longer? Master Tianhen Demon has already escaped from Yuanji Mountain. How about we wait for him to reunite with us and then join forces?"

Another monk with bronze skin also said with a smile: "I agree with what Daoist Fellow Huo Mingzi said. When Demon Lord Tianhen came out, he told us not to rush. Why not wait a while?"

The middle-aged man known as Baimu said with a rather disdainful look, "You two are also well-known fellows in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in the Blood World. When did you become so timid?"

"Can't the three of us take care of him?"

“Whether the title of Master Wangyue is really as powerful as it is, I will naturally experience it myself. It just so happens that my Hundred-Eyed Resentful Spirit ability is about to be promoted to the Thousand-Eyed Realm, and I am in need of two pairs of Nascent Soul-level spiritual eyes and resentful thoughts to make up for it.”

Hearing the other person's words, the other two people around him were shocked: "What?! Your life magic treasure has been refined to the level of a thousand demon eyes?"

"Doesn't that mean that Brother Baimu has already touched the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage?"

"That's right!" said the Taoist Baimu with a sinister smile.
