Chapter 628: Steady and Cautious, Chihuang Opens Up the Land

In Yao Chenzi's courtyard.

After Qin Ming heard what he said, it sounded like a big trap.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Yao Chenzi has any bad intentions, his original intention is good.

But according to his past experience, first of all, these large sects in charge of a region would not be so kind as to give away the resources for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage in exchange for independent cultivators.

At best, they were just attracted by the large number of independent cultivators coming to pan for gold. Anyway, as one group died, another group came. The Netherworld Cult probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to clear the obstacles for its own mining.

Secondly, it is the routine that the sect has always used, throwing out extremely tempting bait to lure many independent cultivators to explore the way and act as cannon fodder.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Huashen Sect, they could just send out a few patrol warships and use psychic cannons to destroy the monsters, which would be much faster than using cultivators to kill monsters.

However, in this way, the sect's loss of spirit stones would be a considerable amount.

But it is different for independent cultivators. Even if they accept a mission, they still have to bear the corresponding risks. If they die in it, the Netherworld Cult does not have to pay any price.

However, in the face of the temptation of an opportunity to break through their cultivation, there are still many cultivators who rush in like moths to a flame.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Yao Chenzi is not immune to this.

"If my natal spiritual treasure is mixed with a three-lined or higher Nether Crystal Stone, it can be upgraded to the level of a fourth-grade upper-grade spiritual treasure, and its magical power will be greatly increased. If I complete the task of clearing out the monsters, can I get this item in exchange?"

Just as everyone was thinking silently, Luo Jinghong suddenly asked.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but for Fellow Daoist Luo, then of course it's possible." Yao Chenzi said immediately when he saw that someone was interested in this matter.

Luo Jinghong also readily agreed: "Okay, I'll take part in this."

Seeing this, the others also made a decision and agreed.

When it was Qin Ming's turn, he didn't react for a long time.

So Yao Chenzi stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Brother Li?"

"Haha! Although my cultivation is slightly higher than yours, I am not good at fighting with magical powers, so I don't plan to go." Qin Ming replied with a faint smile.

Hearing this reply, the others couldn't help but be surprised.

However, considering that this 'Daoyou Li' who lives in seclusion has mastered two kinds of immortal cultivation skills at the same time, and both of them have been cultivated to an extremely high level.

It is estimated that just learning the two skills of spiritual plants and alchemy is enough to occupy all his time. How can he have the energy left to practice magic?
For example, the poison cultivator Luo Jinghong, and the sword cultivator Ling Yang both focus on magic and magical powers, each with their own emphasis.

If 'Daoyou Li' is also good at fighting with magical powers, then he is truly a freak.

Therefore, it is understandable that Li Qianjie did not go with them.

"Since Fellow Daoist Li is unwilling to go with us, I will not force you to do so. But I hope you can keep today's matter a secret."

"After today, we will prepare to set off. We hope to be one step ahead of others. By then, news about Qianji City will be all over the place, and all opportunities will have been divided up."

Yao Chenzi did not look unhappy. Being able to win over so many people was already beyond his expectations.

Qin Ming smiled faintly and said, "Although I am not good at fighting, I still have some experience in alchemy and spiritual plants. If you fellow Taoists have obtained any good things in the swamp, you can exchange them with me."

"Since I can't accompany you to the front line, I can still help you with logistics."

"Haha! That's great. I still can't forget Brother Li's Lingxi Jade Liquid. If I really get the good stuff, I will naturally exchange two jars with you." Wu Chongxian said with a smile.

Speaking of Lingxi Jade Liquid, a spiritual wine that can not only enhance the Nascent Soul's magic power but also tastes like fairy wine, the other people were also very interested.

After all, except for Master Jiuxuan and Ling Yang, the other five people have personally experienced the medicinal effects of this wine, and its effectiveness is much better than that of ordinary Nascent Soul stage elixirs.

After discussing important matters.

Qin Ming said goodbye to a few people and left.

After he left, Ling Yang said to Yao Chenzi, "Daoyou Yao Chenzi, this Daoyou Li will not leak the news, right?"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ling. Fellow Daoist Li is a man of hard practice, not the kind of person who gossips." Yao Chenzi said calmly.

Then, he took out a jade slip and pointed his finger. A white mist of light quickly condensed in the air, revealing a map with incredible clarity.

"My fellow Taoists, please look, this is where we are going this time, this circular mountain range in the Chihuang Wasteland."

……

……

After Qin Ming returned to his cave, he resumed his daily farming and practice.

The Sky-Devouring Rat and the others are also making steady progress in the small spiritual realm.

During this time, Qin Ming also planted a lot of rare spiritual plants in the spiritual field outside the cave in Obsidian Peak, most of which were of the fourth level.

The lush spiritual plants make the entire cave full of vitality.

at the same time.

Less than half a month later, in Qianji City, the Netherworld Cult began to recruit independent cultivators in the city to go to the Chihuang Wasteland to eliminate the monsters.

There were even huge notices and task redemption reward lists posted at the four major city gates in the city.

Although Qin Ming had no interest, he took a look while doing business in the city. Among the top reward rankings, there were even fourth-level high-quality elixirs and high-level spiritual treasures.

No wonder so many independent cultivators flock here, risking their lives to get into the Chihuang Wasteland.

Another two months passed.

On this day, Qin Ming and Fairy Lan Bing were practicing in their respective caves.

However, he received another message from Yao Chenzi, it turned out that he had returned from the Chihuang Wasteland.

At this moment, he was about to pay him a visit and was standing outside his cave.

Qin Ming finished his training and stood up, then went out to welcome Yao Chenzi into the courtyard.

Yao Chenzi originally had a very happy and proud look on his face.

But when he entered Qin Ming's cave, he saw that his spiritual field had undergone such earth-shaking changes in just over ten years.

Various fourth-level rare spiritual plants can be seen almost everywhere, competing for beauty.
Even those spiritual plants worshipped in the Netherworld Sect cannot do it.

But the next moment.

When his eyes fell on several extremely conspicuous black spiritual plants in the spiritual field, he felt as if struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Aren’t these the roots of the magic rice that Li Qianjie picked up when the Four Winds Valley was in chaos?
How come it sprouted now?!

"Fifth-level magic rice. This."

Originally, several of their neighbors had obtained intelligence from the Netherworld Cult in advance, and had completed many tasks ahead of others, and had indeed gained many opportunities.

This time, Yao Chenzi and others returned to Qianji City, and by the way, they also wanted to show off in front of Qin Ming, to let the other party know what an opportunity they missed by not choosing to hunt monsters with them.

But now it seems that Li Daoyou doesn't care about these little things at all~
Their harvest in the Red Huang Wasteland was nothing compared to the numerous spiritual plants in the spiritual field before them.
Yao Chenzi originally had a lot of things he wanted to say, but when they came to his lips, he stuttered and couldn't say anything.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li has already been promoted to the fifth-rank spiritual plant master?"

Qin Ming smiled faintly and said, "It's still too early to become a fifth-level spiritual plant master. I just took back the roots that the Demon Lord didn't want and tried to cultivate them. I didn't expect that they would survive by accident. However, it will probably take several years for them to produce spiritual rice again."

"That's also extremely impressive. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li! You will soon become a fifth-level spiritual plant master!" Yao Chenzi complimented him sincerely.

When the spiritual rice matures, the status and position of his neighbor will surely rise, and he will have to befriend him even better.

When Yao Chenzi looked at the Demonic Rice again, his eyes were full of envy. After all, this was a fifth-grade spiritual rice that could only be encountered by chance.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, "Daoyou Yaochenzi, you are too kind. I am still a little short of becoming a fifth-level spiritual plant master."

"By the way, what is it that brings you to see me this time, fellow Taoist?"

Yao Chenzi immediately withdrew his gaze from the spiritual field and told him the business, "It's like this, we went to the Chihuang Wasteland this time and gained a lot of things. I came here to exchange some spiritual medicines with Fellow Daoist Li so that I can refine some healing pills."

"After a short rest in Qianji City, we will continue to go deep into the Chihuang Wasteland to hunt monsters."

"So that's the case. Of course it's possible." Qin Ming said.

Followed by.

Yao Chenzi then took out a large pile of materials obtained from hunting monsters, including fourth-level monster pills and essence blood.

It just so happens that these things can be used by Qin Ming in planting spiritual plants and refining pills.

"The fourth-order, middle-grade earth-attributed demon pill of the Zhenze Stone Beast."

"The fourth-order lower-grade demon pill of the Dark Realm Thunder Wolf's thunder attribute."

"There is also a fourth-level fire-attributed demon pill from the red-feathered rhinoceros eagle, as well as some blood essence."

After reading it, Qin Ming realized that his neighbors had made quite a haul. Working together, they managed to hunt down so many fourth-order monsters.

"It seems that the trip is really worthwhile for you fellow Taoists."

He took out the spiritual herbs that Yao Chenzi needed, picked them and placed them in a jade box, then handed them to the other party.

Then he raised his hand and put all the fourth-level demon pills and essence blood into his pocket.

Being able to obtain so many fourth-level monster materials at one time is impossible in the human world.

Yao Chenzi smiled and sighed, "Our gains are nothing."

"Not long ago, when the Chihuang Wasteland was being reclaimed, a major event occurred."

"Oh? What's the big deal?" Qin Ming's heart moved when he heard the words, and he asked curiously.

Yao Chenzi said, "During this trip, we were reclaiming the circular mountain range in the Chihuang Wasteland. As expected, a lucky independent cultivator dug up a sixth-level Nether Crystal Stone. Although the Netherworld Sect did its best to suppress this matter, it still got out. I estimate that an envoy from the Huangquan Sect will come soon."

"This sixth-level poisonous mineral resource is extremely scarce and rare. I'm afraid the Netherworld Cult cannot protect it no matter what. They can only hand it over obediently."

Qin Ming understood the reason for the incident and was shocked. He said with emotion: "Sixth-level Nether Crystal Stone is really rare in the world."

The refining materials needed for the sixth-level treasure of Return to Void, the Five Extremes True Spirit Stele, which was learned from the jade slips left by the Fire God, just happen to require five kinds of extremely high-quality divine stones. This sixth-level poisonous ore must also be feasible.

It’s a pity that it was monopolized by the big sects. Once the news came out, basically everyone had no choice but to hand it over.
