Chapter 675 Ling Tian Divine Lord
Outside the valley.

Seeing that the Sky-Devouring Rat had completed the consolidation of its cultivation, Qin Ming immediately took out a well-fitting green Taoist robe for it to wear.

It was dressed up to look like a Taoist boy, even handsome.

There was an extra strand of purple-gold hair in the middle of the Sky-Devouring Rat's head, which should be the change that occurred after its bloodline awakened.

"Well, I see that you have made a breakthrough this time and awakened some kind of true spiritual bloodline. Can you remember it?" Qin Ming pulled it over, touched its bones, and asked after checking.

The Sky-Devouring Rat felt itchy all over from being touched, but still raised its head and chest and said, "Master, hehehe! I didn't expect that I also have ancient true spirit blood, but I can't remember what kind of true spirit blood it is."

"I only know that after successfully breaking through the fifth level, a soul-devouring ability was awakened in my blood memory, which can devour everything in the world."

"The devouring magical power? No wonder you can devour the thunder tribulation and use it for your own benefit." Qin Ming also marveled.

“Not only that, my physical strength has also been affected by the awakening of my bloodline, becoming extremely powerful, hehehe!” Sky-Devouring Rat said proudly, “And after I have the True Spirit bloodline, my future cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will be incomparable.”

Qin Ming patted its shoulder and said, "That's not bad. Even if I don't feed you a sixth-level divine pill, it's still worth it."

"Don't worry, Master. My strength has greatly improved after my breakthrough. Ordinary fifth-level demon lords are no match for me. I can help you in many ways." The Sky-Devouring Rat said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I said I would fight for you for the rest of my life!"

Qin Ming checked its current condition and found that the purity of its spiritual blood had reached 60%, which was equivalent to a spiritual being in the half awakening period.

This was also something he had seen in ancient books.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming summoned several of his spiritual pets and set a banquet to congratulate the Sky-Devouring Rat for successfully breaking through to the fifth-level demon lord.

Fairy Blue Ice and Tian Ling'er are still in seclusion.

Mo Lingwei and Baili Hui were also called back by Qin Ming.

When they learned that the magical rat demon beside Qin Ming had advanced to become a fifth-level demon lord, they were amazed.

The Sky-Eating Rat has become the protagonist of today, and he is overjoyed and full of energy!

The little silver fox said with envy: "Congratulations, Brother Rat, for breaking through the fifth level. I'll toast to you."

“Hehe! Xiaoyue’er, you’ll be almost there too. By then, we’ll both be at the fifth level, and we won’t stop there. The future is promising!” Sky-Devouring Rat picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

at this time.

Qin Ming's mind moved and he felt something.

Then he opened his mouth and said lightly:
"There are guests coming. Looks like today is going to be a busy day."

Upon hearing this, Sky-Eating Rat stood up immediately and asked, "Are you here to cause trouble at Little Turtle Peak again?"

"No, two neighbors nearby came." Qin Ming said calmly.

He just finished speaking.

Then a sound transmission note flew in from outside.

Qin Ming opened the sound transmission talisman and saw that it was indeed Taoist Lu Yun from Yunmeng Mountain and the Li family from Wutong Mountain who came to visit him.

Presumably, the astronomical phenomenon of the great demon undergoing tribulation on Xiaogui Peak a few days ago had already alarmed them.

"Anyone who comes is a guest. Let's go out and greet them."

After saying that, Qin Ming led his men to open the light curtain of the formation and went out to meet them in person.

Not long after.

Several startling rainbows fell outside Xiaogui Peak.

Taoist Lu Yun, riding on a five-colored spiritual deer, looked like an immortal and flew down.

He immediately congratulated Qin Ming, "Congratulations to Brother Li on having his pet advance to the fifth level. This is another great help."

After saying that, Taoist Lu Yun took out a jade box and presented it to him: "This is a small gift from me, please accept it."

"Thank you for your courtesy, Daoist Lu. Please come in." Qin Ming accepted the gift and saw that it was a fifth-grade top-grade Moonlight Spirit Herb. He was impressed by the generosity of Daoist Lu Yun.

The Sky-Devouring Rat looked like a Taoist child. Today, it was the protagonist, so it also had a smile on its face. It bowed and said:

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Lu Yun is really polite. Come in and take a seat."

At this moment, the five-colored spirit deer beside Taoist Lu Yun transformed into a young deer and stepped forward to salute it: "Congratulations to Taoist Rat for breaking through the fifth level and taking a step further on your path to becoming a demon."

When the Sky-Eating Rat heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking, is the sun rising from the west?
Wasn't this guy too lazy to pay attention to me before? Why did his attitude change so drastically now?

Could it be that he also realized that it underestimated him?

So, the Sky-Devouring Rat coughed lightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu Tong, thank you for your courtesy. This is just a small improvement, it's nothing. In the future, I will soon advance to the late fifth level, or even the sixth level of the demon god realm."

After hearing this, the deer boy surprisingly did not think it was bragging, but nodded slightly.

It seems that he agrees with what the Sky-Eating Rat said.
This made the Sky-Devouring Rat wonder, why did this guy seem to have changed his temper today?
Could it be that he was really shocked by his own domineering aura?

Followed by.

The people from the Li family also came down in their magical chariots.

What was different from the last time was that this time, in addition to Li Henian, there was also an old man in hemp clothes who had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation. He was Li Changqing, the patriarch of the Li family.

Li Changqing has a kind face, just like an old farmer who has been working in the fields all year round.

"I have heard of your great name, Friend Li. Congratulations on your spiritual pet's advancement to the fifth-level demon master realm. This is cause for celebration!"

"Before, the clan was busy with chores, and I was unable to come to visit in person. It was truly a pity. Now that I have seen you today, Fellow Daoist Li is truly a rare talent! Not only are your attainments in spiritual plants and the art of alchemy unfathomable, but even your art of taming beasts is second to none! Hahaha!"

After he said that, he stretched out his hand, took out a jade box from his arms and handed it to Qin Ming as a gift.

Qin Ming took the jade box and opened it. Suddenly, a ball of purple light burst out from inside, revealing an astonishing spiritual aura.

Some purple spiritual rice lay quietly in the jade box, about one pound in weight.

Qin Ming had seen this rice with his own eyes before at the auction of Tianxing Trading Company. It was the famous fifth-grade top-grade spiritual rice, Purple Jade Spirit Millet.

Qin Ming was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that this time not only the patriarch of the Li family would come to visit in person, but also the gift he presented was such a valuable one.

He put away the gift and smiled, then he bowed and said in return: "Daoyou Li, you are too kind. It's just that one of my stubborn followers has improved a little. Daoyou, please come in and have a drink."

Subsequently.

Qin Ming invited everyone into Xiaogui Peak, and then took out the Lingxi Jade Liquid that he had treasured for a long time and poured it for everyone.

Taoist Lu Yun and Li Changqing raised their glasses and drank the wine. They were also attracted by the wine from the immortal palace and praised it endlessly:
"This is really a good wine! It's not an exaggeration to call it a fairy wine!"

During this period.

Taoist Lu Yun's gaze lingered on the Sky-Devouring Rat intentionally or unintentionally.

The Sky-Eating Rat suddenly felt as if he was being scrutinized, so he immediately poured himself a glass of wine and asked Taoist Lu Yun:

"Friend Lu, do you have something to tell me?"

Taoist Lu Yun showed an inexplicable smile in his eyes. He took a sip of the spirit wine and replied, "No, I just think that Daoist Shi Tian has advanced to the fifth level so quickly, and his future immortal path is limitless. What's more, you have Qin Ming, a hidden sixth-level Alchemy God, to teach you."

As soon as these words came out.

Li Changqing and Li Henian, who were sitting at the table, were also stunned.

Li Changqing couldn't help but ask in astonishment: "What? Sixth-rank Alchemy God?"

For such words to come out from the mouth of Taoist Lu Yun, a sixth-level alchemy god, it is certainly not just a casual remark.

Taoist Lu Yun said with a smile: "Friend Li's pet has broken through to the fifth level this time. I guess it must have taken the sixth-level Blood Soul Nirvana Pill you made, right?"

"Haha! That's right. Li was lucky enough to succeed in refining a whole furnace." Qin Ming did not deny this matter, and many problems in the way of alchemy were learned from the other party.

After some understanding.

Li Changqing and the other person also realized that Qin Ming and Taoist Lu Yun had a close relationship and they often exchanged ideas about alchemy from time to time.

At the Tianxing Trading Company auction, it was actually Daoist Li who asked Yao Tiannan to bid on the last sixth-grade pill recipe on his behalf.

Moreover, 'Friend Li's' attainments in alchemy are also extraordinary. He actually broke through to the realm of the sixth-level alchemy god without making any noise!
This is extremely shocking.

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Li's attainments in alchemy have reached the highest level, and he has even reached the sixth level. This really impresses me!"

The two ancestors of the Li family were also secretly surprised, and their views on Qin Ming also changed drastically.

"Originally, I heard that Fellow Daoist Li single-handedly defeated Jiang Tian's Star Guard Squad and Ling Tian Divine Lord's first disciple, Venerable Wu Kui. I thought it was a rumor spread in Tianxing City. I guess this is true, right?"

When Li Changqing asked this, Qin Ming's face also showed a strange expression.

He also figured out why the two Li family ancestors who had reached the state of spiritual enlightenment came to visit him in person. It turned out that they had this relationship.
Qin Ming thought about it for a moment, and since he couldn't hide these things, he simply admitted:

"That's right. My spirit pet was in the process of transcending tribulation that day, and those people came to Xiaogui Peak to covet it without knowing what was good for them. I only gave them a slight punishment."

Hearing this, the two people from the Li family were also startled. Hearing Fellow Daoist Li say such words so casually, they immediately felt a little more in awe of this ordinary-looking casual cultivator in front of them.

Obviously, it is confidence in one's strength.

Both the Star Guards of Tianxing City and Wu Kui are outstanding in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Qin Ming was able to force these people to retreat in a panic by himself. Even the Li family could not do it. It can be imagined how powerful the magical powers of this casual cultivator were.

Therefore, Li Changqing and Li Henian raised their glasses again and toasted Qin Ming repeatedly, showing their obvious intention to make friends.

Taoist Lu Yun standing aside just kept smiling but said nothing.

His attention was mainly focused on the Sky-Eating Rat and the little silver fox. He even spent quite a bit of time on the little silver fox, secretly revealing an incredible look on his face.

But he didn't say anything more.

……

……

at the same time.

Inside a villa in Tianxing City.

Snapped! !

A crisp slap was heard, and Jiang Tian was dizzy, but he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

In front of him was an old man in golden armor with a dignified look on his face. This man was none other than Jiang Wuji, whom Qin Ming had met outside Xiaogui Peak. He was also Jiang Tian’s father who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

"I told you not to cause trouble everywhere. You finally managed to save your life from the wilderness, but you didn't stay quiet for long and you're causing trouble for me again!"

"Can you usurp the position of Ling Tianjun's disciple?"

"I was almost killed!"

"Next time something like this happens, even if you are kidnapped, I will never care about you again. You can do whatever you want!"

Jiang Wuji was furious, obviously really angry.

Jiang Tian covered his face which was swollen like a pig's head and immediately admitted his mistake miserably: "Father, I...I didn't expect it. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"Hmph! There will be a next time? From today on, you will resign from your post as captain of the Star Guard and go to the library to guard a hundred years of sedimentation. We'll talk about it when your temper has worn off." Jiang Wuji gave the order with his back to him, his tone full of unquestionable certainty.

Obviously, he also realized that if he continued to protect his adopted son, sooner or later he would be dragged down by him.
"Ah?! Library." Young Master Jiang suddenly showed an expression of despair.

……

A valley not far from Tianxing City.

A large man in a purple robe was quietly guarding outside.

Rumble!
After a while.

The stone door of a cave slowly opened, and a leisurely voice came out from it:

"Wu Kui, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"You have completed the task assigned to you by your master so quickly?"

The purple-robed man Wu Kui immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Master, I have come here to report something important."

"Oh? What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a wave coming from the cave. Wu Kui's eyes flickered and he saw one more person there without him noticing.

This man had his hair tied up with a jade crown, had a cold and old-fashioned face, and was dressed in a black and white jade robe. He exuded the aura of a superior and had the cultivation level of an early stage of the Refinement Void Realm.

He is Wu Kui's master, the famous Lianxu cultivator Ling Tianjun.

However, when one reaches the Void Refinement Stage or above, those with lower cultivation levels generally call them seniors or gods.

"My disciple seemed to have encountered a rare rat demon in a sacred place under the jurisdiction of Tianxing City. However, this beast was under the control of a casual cultivator who had reached the stage of transformation into a spirit. His cultivation and magical powers were quite sharp."

"Maybe it is the blood of the demon beast that Master needs, maybe not."

Wu Kui did not dare to hide anything in front of his master and told him the whole story.

After listening to this, Lord Lingtian's serious face also showed a hint of great interest:
“You’re doing great”

"A fifth-level rat demon with special bloodline?"

"But there is no rush for this matter. Since this person has extraordinary magical powers, there may be a master behind him who can give him advice. You should keep an eye on him for a while, and then make plans if there are no problems."

"After all, Xiaogui Peak belongs to the spiritual land leased by Tianxing City. It is not easy for me to break in by force. It might even damage my reputation."

The purple-robed burly man Wu Kui agreed immediately. He also understood what his master meant. He just wanted to find an opportunity when the other party was out to take action.

……

a few days later.

On the Little Turtle Peak.

Qin Ming and others celebrated for the Sky-Eating Rat, and his two neighbors said goodbye and left.

After Taoist Lu Yun rode away on the five-colored spirit deer, the deer boy under him suddenly asked in confusion:
"Master, why didn't you tell that human cultivator the identity of the Soul Devouring Clan's true spirit?"

"Haha! Everything is a matter of chance. This little friend Li is no simple person. In addition to the Soul Devouring Rat King, the bloodline of the other silver fox seems to be quite high. I didn't expect that before I leave the human race's spiritual realm, I would be able to meet such a strange person. This trip is worthwhile."
