Chapter 643 Soul-crossing Spirit Fish, Xuantian Disciple

"Mogu Temple?"

Although Qin Ming was not very interested in such an extremely dangerous secret realm, he still planned to go and investigate as it involved news about the traitorous monk from the spiritual world.

It's just in the outer area. If you don't go in, there shouldn't be much danger.

After all, the treasure in the immortal palace of the Fire God in the human world is the inheritance of the fusion period. It would be a lie to say that I am not tempted.

Last time, Qin Ming obtained some surviving spiritual medicines and herbs from the long-ruined Xumi Spiritual Garden on the outskirts, which benefited him greatly.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly and ascend directly to the spiritual world.

If he could completely unlock and control this treasure of the Immortal Palace, perhaps he could merge his small spiritual realm with it, not only expanding and advancing again, but also obtaining a lot of cultivation resources.

Maybe you won’t have to worry about the resources you need to cultivate to a higher level in the future.

Besides.

After he killed the powerful swordsman Xuan Jiuyin, he absorbed the defeated man's Yellow Springs Sword Intent, thereby strengthening his own sword spirit.

The progress of practicing the gold-attributed martial arts technique "Genjin Breaking Disaster Sword Classic" was also directly advanced by one third.

It’s much faster than practicing on your own.

Xuan Jiuyin and Alliance Leader Zuo gained a lot of benefits in the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp, and now all of them have benefited Qin Ming.

There are more than three hundred top-grade spirit stones alone.

There are countless spiritual materials, elixirs, techniques, and other classics for the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

The fifth-level spiritual treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Sword Box, and the sixth-level Nether Crystal Stone also fell into Qin Ming's hands.

It can be said that he has made a lot of money. These resources alone are enough for him to practice to the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Qin Ming himself had already refined two spiritual treasures. This Ten Thousand Souls Sword Box could be used to practice gold-attributed skills, or to exchange for some precious resources in the future.

Subsequently.

He cast the thorn spell on the two corpses and threw two huge blood beads to his natal spirit plant, the withered and flourishing black vine.

After absorbing two large blood beads of the God Transformation level, especially one of which belonged to a cultivator in the late God Transformation stage.

In an instant, the black vines in the small spiritual realm began to grow wildly, and countless silver runes swirled around.

Hundreds of silver flower buds once again grew among the black tentacle-like vines.

Three golden entries suddenly appeared in Qin Ming's sight:

[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Mysterious Vine [Term]: Divine Mana x5 (Maturity 2%)
[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Mysterious Vine [Term]: Spiritual Qi and Blood x5 (Maturity 1%)
[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Black Vine [Term]: Spiritual Power x5 (Maturity 2%)
Wait until the black vine finishes growing.

Qin Ming watered this natal spiritual plant and came to the Holy Brahma Demon Tree. He found that after this demon plant absorbed the essence from the two corpses, its growth was even more gratifying. It was estimated that it could continue to advance into a demon.

After he finished dealing with the spiritual plants inside, he came outside again.

The place they are currently in is deep in the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp. It is a rarely visited place, but Baili Hui is still guarding outside the cave entrance.

When he saw Qin Ming coming out, he greeted him respectfully: "Senior Li, are you out of retreat?"

"Well, I've almost rested. Let's go to the Yellow Springs Abyss immediately." Qin Ming said lightly.

Baili Hui said, "Well, such a big thing happened in Qianji City. I guess it's not easy for us to go there via the teleportation array. After all, this place is quite far from the Devouring Abyss. Even if we are Divine Incarnation cultivators, it will take at least half a year to get there."

Qin Ming did not answer him directly, but summoned the Blue Ice Fairy directly from the small spiritual realm.

Baili Hui was also startled when he saw a beautiful fairy suddenly appear beside him.

He was even more surprised when he could not see the other party's cultivation level at all.

However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.

next moment.

As everyone was staring in amazement, the Blue Ice Fairy instantly transformed into an ice crystal bird, spreading her huge ice crystal wings, and the aura of a demon lord in the Divine Transformation Stage blew towards her.

Then, this huge bird stopped in front of the two of them.

Qin Ming said nothing, picked up Baili Hui, who was still immersed in shock, and jumped onto the back of the Ice Crystal Bird.

Under his excited gaze, the Dark Bird tore open a space crack and drilled directly into it.
The Ice Crystal Bird soared in the outer space, and countless terrifying void turbulences passed by her.

Baili Hui has been practicing for so many years, but this is the first time he has such an experience. It is truly an eye-opener. His mind is so agitated that he cannot calm down for a long time.

'This Senior Li is truly unfathomable. It turns out that he didn't even use any trump cards when he killed Xuan Jiuyin and the other two.' Baili Hui thought secretly, feeling extremely lucky to have found such a powerful figure.

"It seems that I have really met a noble person this time. I have great hope of regaining my glory as a god!"

Although the Thousand Machine Poison Swamp and the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss are both located in the Demon Ancient Wasteland, each area in the spiritual world is extremely vast. It would take a lot of time for a cultivator to fly alone, even if he is in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

But the Dark Bird transformed by the Blue Ice Fairy was extremely fast and could fly directly into the void.

It only took half a day.

They only saw the space in front of them, which was once again torn open by the Ice Crystal Bird. Qin Ming and the others' sight lit up, and they immediately appeared in an unfamiliar environment.

There is a long crack on the ground here. It is bottomless and stretches for thousands of miles. There is a cold and gloomy aura coming out of it.

Qin Ming and the other person have arrived at a secret place near the Yellow Springs Abyss.

This was also the intelligence information Qin Ming obtained based on the soul search of Xuan Jiuyin, and he came directly to the area where the two factions discovered the Demon Ancient Temple.

After Qin Ming arrived, he did not rush in. Such an important place must be strictly guarded by high-level cultivators of the Huangquan Sect.

So he came to a nearby market, intending to find out the situation inside beforehand.

The secret realm that could cause a great cultivator to perish is obviously not that easy to enter.

His biggest goal is to collect information about the traitorous inspector of the spiritual world.

Qin Ming took the Blue Ice Fairy back into the small spiritual realm. He and Baili Hui disguised themselves and transformed themselves into two ordinary cultivators to blend in.

This "Baowu Market" is the property of Huangquan Sect. It is located on the main transportation route of the entire Mogu Wasteland. It is quite large, even larger than Qianji Immortal City.

Therefore, the prosperity of this market town is also quite unique.

There are crowds of people coming and going in the market town, and all kinds of shops are lined up. There are also several large docks and ferries located on the outskirts of the market town, which can help monks travel to and from the Yellow Springs Abyss.

The port is filled with large and small ships, but the materials of these ships are somewhat special. They are all pitch black, and seem to have a layer of paint that can resist the erosion of the Styx.

Qin Ming still adjusted his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage so as not to be too conspicuous, and also dispelled the covetousness of some villains and reduced some trouble.

The two of them followed the main road and came to a rather luxurious inn called 'Wu Jian Inn'.

Qin Ming learned from Xuan Jiuyin's memory that Wujian Inn was a neutral force in Baowufang City.

All guests staying there will be protected by it.

Above the stone statue at the entrance of the inn stands an ancient stone tablet, on which is written: Once you enter Wujian, you will be kept safe.

After paying a considerable amount of spirit stones at the front desk, Qin Ming took Baili Hui to stay in this inn.

The monks who can live here are either wealthy or have a good background, so it is easier to get information from them.

After Qin Ming came to his room, he said to Baili Hui, "Go and help me find out about the situation here, especially the news about the Demon Ancient Temple."

"Yes! Senior Li, please rest assured. I will take care of this matter." Baili Hui held on to the tall man, full of hope for the future, and full of energy.

After Qin Ming finished giving the instructions, he sat on the bed and meditated, while at the same time releasing his spiritual sense to scan the situation inside the inn.

However, he discovered that there were extremely deep restrictions between the rooms in the inn, and even his divine sense at the perfect level of incarnation could not penetrate them.

Although the peeping was fruitless, it made him feel more at ease, as it showed that the slogan of Wu Jian Inn was not an exaggeration.

The boss behind it must be an extremely powerful monk.

A few days later, after gathering intelligence, Baili Hui returned to the inn and reported to Qin Ming.

"Senior Li, this Baowu Market is located in the Xuantian Region, at the junction of the Mogu Wasteland and several other major regions. Therefore, in addition to the Huangquan Sect, there are several other large forces around the market, such as the Corpse Yin Sect, the Yin Fu Sect, the Baihai Chamber of Commerce, and the Qijue Sword Pavilion, all of which are guarded by great masters in the Refining Void Stage."

"It is said that the Netherworld rift at the deepest part of the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss intersects with the interface of the 'Underworld', so the resources are extremely rich, which attracted these forces to go treasure hunting."

"In the Devouring Abyss flows the Styx River, which was brought from the Netherworld. This rift abyss, which is tens of millions of miles long, is a relic of the ancient battlefield between immortals and demons."

"The underworld?" Qin Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this.

He had heard from the old demon Qingyang that this realm was one of the three thousand great realms, just like the ancient demon realm and the ancient monster realm. He did not expect that it also intersected with the spirit realm.

Baili Hui continued, "Senior Li specifically instructed me to do something about the Mogu Temple. I secretly purchased some information through my own channels. It's all here. On the other hand, this piece of information alone cost me a full 30,000 high-quality spirit stones."

He said this with some pain in his heart, and then respectfully presented a jade slip.

"Spirit stones are not a problem. As long as we can get the information, these spirit stones are nothing." After Qin Ming took the jade slip, he immediately took out a bulging bag and threw it to him.

Baili Hui's face instantly lit up with smiles, and he expressed his gratitude endlessly.

Qin Ming released his divine sense to browse the jade slip. The content was not much different from the information he obtained when searching Xuan Jiuyin's soul, except that it was much more detailed.

The guard force arranged by Huangquan Sect around the secret realm actually has an elder who has reached the perfect stage of Spirit Transformation personally guarding it, and there are two ghosts comparable to the late fifth stage, as well as a formation of fifth level or above to conceal the entrance. The defense force can be said to be full, which is enough to show how much importance Huangquan Sect attaches to it.

It seems as if he has the ambition to completely take it for himself.

“However, Senior Li, it seems that the Xuantian Sword Sect also knew about the secret realm of the Demon Ancient Temple not long ago. It is said that they have sent disciples to the Yellow Springs Abyss to investigate the matter.” Baili Hui happily put away the spirit stone, then remembered something and said.

Qin Ming was puzzled when he heard this: "Didn't they say that Huangquan Sect and Youming Sect jointly discovered this secret realm? Could it be that the news leaked out?"

"It wasn't long ago that the Netherworld Patriarch broke through the Void Refining Realm, causing too much noise. Coupled with the appearance of the calamity-controlling treasure, the Nine Dragons Calamity Seal, it was quite unusual and finally attracted the attention of the Xuantian Sword Sect."

"Faced with the inquiry from the upper sect, the Netherworld Sect probably knew that they couldn't keep this secret, so they took the opportunity to reveal the matter of the Demon Ancient Temple to the Xuantian Sword Sect. Since they themselves couldn't get it, they wouldn't let the Huangquan Sect enjoy this secret realm for free."

Qin Ming nodded slowly upon hearing this, thinking that Baili Hui really had a lot of connections and was very versatile, as he had obtained such important information in such a short time.

"Well, you did a great job. You will continue to stay here and gather all kinds of intelligence. I have to go out for a while."

Baili Hui was immediately startled when he heard this, and asked cautiously: "Senior Li, are you planning to go to the Demon Ancient Temple to search for treasures?"

Qin Ming did not hide it from him and nodded without denying it.

After hearing this, Baili Hui, who has been in the business for many years and is a shrewd man, actually had a vague guess about it.

He was worried at first, after all, his life was in the hands of Senior Li. If the other party died accidentally, he would have to die with him.

However, after seeing the fifth-order Ice Crystal Bird, he had a clearer understanding of Senior Li's methods.

It is estimated that no one in the Spirit Transformation Stage will be his match. Even if he meets someone in the Void Refinement Stage, he will be able to retreat unscathed if he cannot defeat him.

"Then I wish Senior Li success!" Baili Hui said with a smile.

Qin Ming stood up and said, "Let's go. We have been here for several days. Let's try the local specialties."

Baili Hui grinned when he heard the word "food" and hurried to follow.

The Sky-Eating Rat in the Small Spirit Realm heard that there was food, so it quickly ran out, hugged Qin Ming's trouser legs, and said in a fawning manner: "Master, hey, hey! Last time I discovered the treasure mountain, I did a great deed."

Qin Ming bent down and rubbed the Sky Devouring Rat's head, "Well, this is a reward for you."

The Blue Ice Fairy also transformed into an ordinary woman.

Qin Ming looked at the situation and estimated that it would be a considerable expense, including the four in the small spiritual realm.
Not long after.

He took Baili Hui, Blue Ice Fairy and Sky-Devouring Rat out of the inn and came to a restaurant with simple decorations.

As soon as they entered, a waiter came up to them with a warm attitude.

"Welcome all guests to the 'Forget River Pavilion'. Our store has all kinds of immortal delicacies, even the 'Soul-Ferrying Fish' that is rarely seen in the entire Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss. This fish is famous far and wide in the surrounding area, hehehe!"

The waiter skillfully guided the four people to sit down by the window, and while diligently serving them tea, he introduced the food to them.

The purpose of Qin Ming's trip was also to catch the fame of this fish.

According to Xuan Jiuyin's memory, in the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, there is a kind of 'Soul-Ferrying Fish' that is rare in the outside world. It feeds on the souls of the dead and is a delicacy from the Immortal Palace with an extremely unique taste.

It is said that even the Soul-Ferrying Fish at the lowest price can increase the mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Those high-level soul-ferrying spirit fish can not only greatly increase the magic power of the God Transformation Stage, but even a spiritual object called "Rebirth Pearl" will be born in the body of these spirit fish, which is very effective in deepening the realm of comprehension, and can even use this pearl to cultivate great supernatural powers.

It is even rarer than the elixir of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

However, this kind of soul-ferrying fish only exists in the River Styx, and its number is very small. Because the River Styx is filled with bone-corroding miasma all year round and the water is full of dangers, it is extremely difficult to catch, so rare things are valuable.

Three hundred years ago, a cultivator caught three top-quality soul-ferrying spirit fish containing the Pearl of Rebirth, which directly triggered a bloody battle for the fish among several major forces.

The chaos was not stopped until the Xuantian Sword Sect stepped in to mediate, which shows how precious this spirit fish is.

After Qin Ming sat down, he said calmly: "Bring me eight low-level soul-crossing fish and your special wine and food. Bring them all."

"What?!" The waiter was also shocked after hearing this, "Well, even if this is a low-level Soul-crossing Fish, it's still expensive. Look at this..."

"Just do it when I tell you to. What are you wasting time on? And you even want to pick a bigger one. Do you think I will give you less spirit stones?" The Sky-Devouring Rat slammed the table and shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The waiter quickly wrote it down and then went to notify the kitchen.

As he ran, he thought to himself:
"Looking at the way these people are dressed, they all look ordinary. I didn't expect them to be so wealthy. You really can't judge a person by his appearance."

After two sticks of incense.

A table full of food and wine was brought up.

The most eye-catching dish is the steamed spirit fish.

One could see a dark blue essence flowing in the translucent body of the fish, and its fins swaying like two spirit-calling flags, looking quite bizarre.

It exudes a layer of light blue mist, and the rich fragrance hits you in the face, making you drool.

The Sky-Eating Rat couldn't wait any longer, but since Qin Ming hadn't started eating yet, it naturally didn't dare to pick up its chopsticks first.

Qin Ming took four spirit fish and some wine and food and gave them to the little silver fox, Tian Ling'er, the black water crocodile and the silver-winged frost bee. Since they were going to enjoy themselves, he couldn't treat them badly.

He casually said to the people present: "Let's eat."

The Sky-Eating Rat and Baili Hui were not polite and started to eat heartily.
After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food.

Just when the master and his servants were enjoying their meal.

A group of people walked in from outside the restaurant. They were all wearing the uniform white robes with silver patterns on their sect uniforms. They were all young and handsome, full of heroic spirit.

Before they even entered the store, they had already caused quite a commotion among the monks outside.

Qin Ming frowned, and heard whispers coming from the street:

"It turns out to be a disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect. I didn't expect such a big shot to appear in Baowufang Market. Did something happen?"

"Hiss! The handsome young monk leading the group should be at least in the late stage of Spiritualization? Even I cannot fathom his level of cultivation."

Qin Ming released his divine sense and took a quick scan, and found that all of them were cultivators in the God Transformation Stage without exception.

The handsome man in the lead had an upright figure, a faint silver sword pattern on his forehead, and was in the late stage of Spirit Transformation. Not only that, his cultivation and magic power were extremely profound, and should be far beyond that of the cultivators of the same level.

After these people entered Wangchuan Pavilion, they went straight to the second floor under the respectful welcome of the shopkeeper.

Qin Ming withdrew his gaze and continued eating the spirit fish.

However, when the Xuantian Sword Sect's group reached the second floor, the leading young man inadvertently glanced at Qin Ming and others standing by the windowsill.

His steps couldn't help but pause, and amidst the puzzled looks of his companions, he walked towards Qin Ming.
