Chapter 556: Star Palace and the Ancient Demon Realm

Qin Ming didn't hesitate and directly put away the storage ring.

Deep sea black iron is an extremely rare fifth-grade material for refining weapons and formations, and there is such a large amount of it.

next moment.

An exquisite jade bottle emerged from Qin Ming's hand, and he immediately handed it to Xiao Xun, "Let's be clear, Qin can't take such a precious spiritual material from you for nothing. Inside is a fifth-level Yaoming Pill, so I'll consider it an exchange with you."

"What? Yaoming Pill?" Xiao Xun's eyes showed surprise. She seemed to recognize this fifth-grade life-extending elixir.

She took the jade bottle handed to her by Qin Ming, opened it and saw the amazing elixir inside, she was still in disbelief.

And judging from the quality of the pill, it seems to be the latest one to be refined.

So, she asked uncertainly, "Could this Yaoming Pill be made by Fellow Daoist Qin himself?"

"That's right. When Qin was on the Tianya Haijiao Island, he was actually refining this pill." Qin Ming nodded in response.

After hearing this, Xiao Xun was even more shocked. There were only a few fifth-level Alchemy Saints in the human world, and they were all top-level alchemists.

"Then I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin on becoming a fifth-level Dan Saint. His future path to immortality is definitely limitless."

After an in-depth communication, the two of them had less grudges against each other.

Xiao Xun also thanked Qin Ming and accepted the elixir.

However, she was still impressed by the other party's profound strength and superb attainments in alchemy, which far exceeded the level of the Nascent Soul stage.

After a while.

"By the way, forgive me for asking, the magical power that Fellow Daoist Xiao has learned seems to be related to the art of the stars."

"Those two demon cultivators both recognized that your skills came from the Star Palace. Can you tell me a little bit about it?" Qin Ming asked.

Xiao Xun replied: "Of course you can. This matter is in the outer sea, so it's actually not a big secret."

"Our Tianya Haige was originally inherited from the ancient Xing Palace. When the ancient demon world invaded the outer sea tens of thousands of years ago, there were many powerful demons that could reach the sky. The human world was simply unable to resist them, but they were all repelled by the Xing Palace."

"And the Star Palace has some connections with the Spirit World. At that time, in the human world, it was one of the top forces in the human world, just like the three major Taoist palaces in Yuanji Mountain."

"I was fortunate enough to obtain the opportunity to inherit the legacy in the Xinggong ruins, so I can be said to be a descendant of the Xinggong."

"At that time, the Star Palace paid a huge price to suppress the ancient monster. The master of the Star Palace even burned the essence of the star soul and mobilized the power of the galaxy to turn it into a monster-locking chain. This laid the foundation for victory."

"The ancient true spirit dragon on Dragon Bone Reef was killed by the Star Lord himself."

"Later, as time passed, the Star Palace also completely turned into the dust of history."

Qin Ming nodded. He didn't expect that this woman was indeed blessed with great fortune, which was just as he had guessed.

He actually obtained the core inheritance of the ancient sect.

That is an ancient immortal cultivation force that is even older than the Qingyuan Sect.

"Then, what are Fellow Daoist Xiao's plans for next?"

When asked about this, Xiao Xun hesitated for a long time, and also heard the hidden meaning of Qin Ming's words. Her pretty face immediately blushed, and then she replied: "Tianya Haige cannot be without a master for a day, and there are still a lot of stalls waiting for me to clean up."

"Dragonbone Reef has experienced a great war, which had a great impact. We must also be on guard against any unusual movements by the demon tribe."

"Didn't they say that all passages to the outside world would be cut off within a hundred years?" Qin Ming asked.

Xiao Xun replied: "I know another way, but it's a little troublesome."

"I will come back to see Fellow Daoist Qin after I have settled that place."

Qin Ming also knew that the other party could not easily give up the foundation of Tianya Haige and would definitely have to go back.

Afterwards, the two discussed the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation.

After learning about the situation in the five major cultivation worlds, Xiao Xun also sighed deeply, "I didn't expect the situation in the human world to be so grim. Even the ancient demon has escaped."

"If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

"Once I have dealt with matters offshore, I will do my part."

Qin Ming didn't say much, just said: "You can recuperate here for a while, and leave after you recover."

Xiao Xun nodded, then remembered something and asked, "May I ask, Brother Qin, you have come all the way to the outer sea to get the Heart-Searching Fruit, but do you want to refine the fifth-level divine medicine, the Divine Transformation Ointment?"

"That's right." Qin Ming replied.

Hearing the other party's answer confirmed her thoughts.

Xiao Xun took a deep breath, not expecting Qin Ming's plan to be so grand.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I have another main ingredient needed to refine the God-Transforming Ointment. It is the Mysterious Cold Marrow, which I was lucky enough to obtain in the Xinggong Ruins."

"If I can gather together some spiritual materials, can I ask Fellow Daoist Qin to help me refine it?"

"Of course, as a reward, the extra Xuanyou Cold Marrow here will be given to Fellow Daoist Qin."

After saying that, she flipped her hand and an exquisite porcelain bottle appeared in her hand, which she then handed to Qin Ming.

After Qin Ming took it and opened the seal, he saw that it was filled with a whole bottle of white spiritual liquid, which exuded the amazing spiritual essence of a fifth-level spiritual object of heaven and earth, accompanied by a biting chill.

It was indeed the Xuanyou Cold Marrow mentioned in the pill recipe.

The quantity in this whole bottle is enough to refine several pills.

Qin Ming didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Qin agrees to this matter."

When Xiao Xun heard Qin Ming's words, he immediately looked overjoyed.

"Since you have come to my Moon-Watching Island, I will also do my part as a host and ask you to taste my brewed Lingxi Yuye."

Subsequently.

The two drank and chatted happily, and had an in-depth exchange and became familiar with each other.

……

A few days later.

Xiao Xun said goodbye to Qin Ming, left Wangyue Island and returned to the open sea.

Qin Ming saw her off. Before leaving, Xiao Xun looked back and smiled, "I hope that Brother Qin can solve the matter of the Demonic Path, and we can meet again as soon as possible."

After saying that, she turned into a purple rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

Sky-Eating Rat and Little Silver Moon also came to see them off.

The Sky-Eating Rat scratched its head, looked in the direction Xiao Xun left, and then looked at Qin Ming.

I couldn't help wondering, "This is really strange. How long has it been?"

"Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!"

Tian Ling'er blinked her big, sparkling eyes and asked, "Brother Rat, what's wrong?"

The Sky-Eating Rat said: "I seem to smell an unusual smell."

……

Moon-Watching Island.

After Qin Ming returned to the island, he summoned Hua Tianxiong and Mo Lingwei to learn about the latest situation from them.

Neither of them expected that Qin Ming had returned to the island without anyone noticing.

"Reporting to the island master, during the time you were away, Senior Zhiyang from the Xingchen Palace came to see you once and asked me to pass on his message to you." Hua Tianxiong reported respectfully.

Qin Ming nodded slightly: "Well, I understand."

Even Master Zhiyang came to find me. It was probably because there was some unusual movement on the side of the Demonic Path again. The battle had reached a critical moment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here in person.

Qin Ming waved the two away and then came to the cave alone.

Then they counted the harvest from this trip offshore.

First of all, he obtained the most important Heart-Searching Fruit, and also obtained the Xuanyou Cold Marrow from Xiao Xun.

The five main ingredients for refining the Divine Ointment, plus the three drops of blood essence from Tian Ling'er's transforming spiritual plant, now three of them have been collected.

As for those fourth-level auxiliary materials, Qin Ming also asked Hua Tianxiong and Mo Lingwei to collect them secretly.

Qin Ming also successfully refined the fifth-level Yaoming Pill. If he could exchange it for two other unique fifth-level main ingredients from Diaoyunsou, the refining of the Shenhua Ointment could be put on the agenda.

Besides.

He also obtained the fourth-stage late-stage dragon demon pill and blood essence of the Nine-Chi ancestor, plus the deep-sea black iron he exchanged from Xiao Xun, which he could give to Qi Xiaoyu to refine the fifth-stage formation.

With this formation, we will have a certain chance of winning even against the ancient demon.

There is also the corpse of the fourth-order perfect sea-splitting monster saint.

The most powerful part of a monster is its physical body, which is even more powerful than refined spiritual treasures. It can be said that its entire body is a treasure.

At last.

Qin Ming took out a storage bag, which belonged to Master Lingtao, but actually it should have belonged to Patriarch Nanming.

He found half of a gray "Reverse Scale Monument" in his storage bag. It was three meters in size and engraved with distorted demon language.

However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the boundary stone that the old demon Qingyang mentioned.

At this time.

The old demon Qingyang explained: "My dear Qin, this half of the Ni Scale Monument is made of the Legendary Stone."

“However, from what I have seen, the text on the Ni Lin Monument should be the demon text of the ancient demon world. It records the location of an ascension platform in the outer sea, but it is an ascension platform leading to the demon world, not the spirit world.”

After hearing the explanation from the old demon Qingyang, Qin Ming suddenly understood.

"The Ascension Platform of the Demon Realm? No wonder."

Subsequently.

He put away the stone tablet and took out a jade bottle, in which was sealed the soul of the Nanming ancestor.

Qin Ming still had to ask the ancestor of Lihuo Palace in person about some things.

The soul of the Nanming ancestor also slowly woke up.

After he was captured by Qin Ming, he had no idea what happened next.

"Haha, little friend Qin." The Nanming Patriarch looked around the hall and said, "Could it be that we have returned to the five major cultivation worlds?"

Feeling the spiritual environment of the outside world, his dull spirit couldn't help but ask with some emotion.

"That's right, but Qin wants to ask you something." The soul of the Nanming Patriarch was completely in his hands, so he had nothing to worry about.

The Nanming Patriarch was bullied by a dog in a low position, and smiled awkwardly, "Whatever problem Qin Xiaoyou has, just tell me."

Qin Ming asked him why he had not returned to Dajin, after all, he had already broken through to the realm of Spirit Transformation.

Logically speaking, I should have returned home long ago.

“Alas! This is a long story. Although I left the Lihuo Palace and traveled far and wide to find an opportunity to break through to the God Transformation Realm, and luckily succeeded.” Nanming Patriarch sighed and continued, “But because of this incident, my body was trapped in a secret realm of the demon clan and I have been unable to escape.”

"This time, it was because Master Lingtao accidentally entered the secret realm of the demon race that I had the opportunity to separate a wisp of my soul and attach it to his body."

"Later, we went to Dragon Bone Reef to look for the Ni Scale Monument."

"Little friend Qin should know what happened afterwards, hehe."

"I never thought that I could return to the Five Great Immortal Cultivation Worlds in my lifetime. It's all thanks to Qin Xiaoyou!"

But at this moment.

The old demon Qingyang in the Xuefutu spiritual treasure secretly sent a message to Qin Ming with great contempt: "He is lying."

"This old fellow probably forcibly swallowed a stream of Heavenly Demon Qi in order to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. Although he succeeded in breaking through, he became a state of neither human nor demon."

"And his mind has been polluted by evil spirits and is extremely unstable."
