Chapter 701: Spiritual Plant Changes, Li Family Suffers (6k)
Inside the cave.

Qin Ming restrained his aura, and the strange phenomena behind him disappeared one after another. The huge power of the mountains and galaxies receded like the tide.

The terrifying spiritual pressure around also suddenly disappeared.

Above the black lotus in the central dantian, Qin Ming’s inky black demon infant soul smiled strangely, released the Yuanji Divine Mountain in his body, and took it back into the Lingwang Ding.

This time, when he absorbed the power of the sacred mountain and broke through to the great perfection of body refining, he only absorbed one ten-thousandth of the mountain's power.

It won't even have any impact on the future, and it can be refined into one of the treasures of Return to the Void - the 'True Spirit Five Pole Mountain'.

He felt his body, which had undergone a qualitative change. His body was filled with surging primitive power and his strength had increased dramatically.

"I didn't expect that my physical cultivation had already broken through to the state of great perfection of the Spiritualization, and was actually comparable to the sixth-rank ancient demon god, possessing the combat power of the Void Refining level."

“If I were to run into the Lingtian Divine Lord who was mentioned in my little notebook again, I guess he would no longer be my opponent!”

“If I use the power of the Giant Spirit Incarnation, plus the power of the Aurora, I will be invulnerable to all kinds of attacks, and my body will be comparable to the treasure of Return to Void. My sense of security will be maximized, hehe!”

Qin Ming's cultivation level had broken through and he was in a very good mood. He familiarized himself with the power in his body, restrained his breath, and immediately stood up and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he came out, the Sky-Devouring Rat and other beasts outside, as well as Fairy Blue Ice and others all surrounded him and congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Master, for your great progress in cultivation!!"

Qin Ming waved his hand and said calmly, "It's just a slight improvement, but today is the day to celebrate. Go get some spiritual wine and spiritual food and prepare for the feast."

After hearing this, the Sky-Devouring Rat and other beasts immediately became excited and got busy.

When Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei looked at Qin Ming again, although there seemed to be no change on the surface, he was still as green as the ancient tree.

But they always had an inexplicable feeling. Somehow, in front of Qin Ming, they couldn't help but feel humble like ants.
This shows that Qin Ming’s breakthrough this time is not as simple as it seems.

However, they did not dare to ask more questions.

Fortunately, Fairy Lan Bing at the side expressed their doubts for them: "Fellow Daoist Qin, did you achieve some kind of great magical power during your breakthrough this time? The terrifying spiritual pressure just now seemed comparable to that of Lord Lianxu."

"Well! That's right." Qin Ming replied without any hesitation, but didn't say anything else.

Fairy Blue Ice was immediately startled!
She thought that she had two ancient true spirit bloodlines and that she had made rapid progress in cultivation, but she did not expect that she was still nothing in front of Qin Ming.

She was different from the others. She could feel that Qin Ming must have undergone some kind of transformation to give people such a strong sense of oppression.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming asked Baili Hui again: "By the way, during the days when I was in seclusion, has there been any changes in the situation outside?"

"My Lord, I was just about to tell you about this." Baili Hui hurried forward and said, "Just as Master Sudan and Diaoyun Sou said not long ago, there have been major changes in the upper echelons of Tianxing City, causing the entire Kunlun Region to be in a state of panic and shrouded in dark clouds!"

"Many powerful families have taken sides. After all, it involves the redistribution of resources."

"These forces below don't get along with each other as soon as they meet. More than ten conflicts of varying sizes have broken out."

“And the upper echelons of Tianxing City also turned a blind eye and did not care at all.”

"I have found out that even the Wang family of Yunmeng Mountain has secretly sided with the faction of Lord Jinao. The Star Guard Army directly gave the Wang family two quotas for Silver Armor Star Guards and five quotas for Bronze Star Guards."

"Well, this Wang family is a bit uneasy. I didn't expect that last time I asked Li Changqing to secretly report them to Tianxing City, I didn't get any evidence against them. Now that the situation is chaotic, they are able to get the upper hand instead. It's really unbelievable!" Qin Ming touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"You continue to keep an eye on them for me in secret, and report any unusual movements at any time."

"Yes, master!" Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei bowed and accepted the order.

Not long after.

On the Little Turtle Peak, the sound of drinking and celebrating broke out again.
A few days later.

Qin Ming came to the spiritual field in Xiaoling Territory again and took care of it.

His natal spiritual plant, the Withered and Blooming Black Vine, grew a lot again after absorbing the blood beads from last time.

Gold and silver fruits have grown on it, and the progress of the entry has also been refreshed:
[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Mysterious Vine [Term]: Divine Mana x5 (Maturity 92%)
[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Mysterious Vine [Term]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 91%)
[Name]: Withered and Flourishing Mysterious Vine [Term]: Spiritual Qi and Blood x5 (Maturity 93%)
Qin Ming could feel that his natal spiritual plant was undergoing a transformation towards further advancement.

"I'm afraid that after this round of spiritual fruits mature, this mysterious black vine will undergo another transformation."

“In fact, the thorn technique performed by the black spirit seed is now basically unstoppable by anyone in the Spiritualization Stage. It is no less than a great magical power.”

“If it changes again, it might be enough to threaten the cultivators in the Void Refining Stage.”

The towering black vines hang down to the sky, swaying slowly in the breeze. Runes flicker, and the golden and silver spiritual fruits between the branches and leaves emit a strange light, which looks very weird.

Qin Ming came to the Holy Brahma Demon Tree again. Under this demon plant, countless demon monks and the corpses of authentic demons were buried.

It looks like a corpse-raising ground, and even the surrounding temperature has dropped by half compared to other areas.

At this moment, the whole magic plant was surrounded by demonic energy and looked extremely eerie. Even the spiritual soil around it began to demonize and turned into a dark underworld.

The underworld bred from these high-level demonic skeletons is even a rare spiritual object in the outside world.

After absorbing so much evil spirit from the monsters, the Holy Brahma Demon Tree was on the verge of upgrading its grade.

Qin Ming estimated that if he could obtain the corpse of a demon who had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation, and nurture it for a period of time, the Brahma Demon Holy Tree would be able to grow into a sixth-level demon plant.

Such a magic tree, even in the ancient demon world, is a sacred tree that suppresses the fortune of an area and should be worshipped as a treasure.

At this moment, a dark bud bloomed on the Brahma Demon Holy Tree, with a swastika pattern on the surface, emitting an astonishing demonic aura.

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

[Name]: Brahma Demon Holy Tree [Term]: Transformation Spirit Blood x5 (maturity 3%)
[Name]: Brahma Demon Holy Tree [Term]: Divine Soul Power x5 (Maturity 2%)
[Name]: Holy Demon Tree [Term]: True Demonic Energy x5 (maturity 5%)
After taking care of the spiritual plants in Xiaoling Territory.

Qin Ming came to the cave outside again, and cast a special spell on the six-level Taoist spirit beans that he had planted not long ago at the door, injecting his evergreen magic power.

With the suitable sixth-level spiritual vein environment and after a period of cultivation, Qin Ming was able to feel the vitality within the spirit seed, and it began to grow and become stronger.

I believe that as long as we continue to cultivate it, it will produce spiritual buds in a few years. The cultivation of this kind of spiritual plant cannot be rushed. It needs to be planted slowly so that the spiritual beans will be powerful after they mature.

As for the Qingqiongtian tree outside, it had grown several feet taller again after just a few months. It can be said that its growth rate was extremely fast.

After all, the spiritual land of the Donghuang Mountains is extremely vast, and what it lacks the least is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The lush branches and leaves of the Qingqiongtian Tree stretched out, and as it breathed in and out, the surrounding spiritual energy flowed like water, all gathering towards the Little Turtle Peak.
the other side.

Yunmeng Mountain where Qin Ming’s neighbor Wang family lives.

The three gods of the Wang family were now looking at their own clan land in confusion.

Wang Yunhai, the bronze-faced man, seemed to sense the change in spiritual energy. "Why has the spiritual energy in our clan's spiritual land become much thinner during this period? Could it be that someone has stolen it? It's absorbing the luck of our Wang family! How abominable!"

"Third brother, are you joking? Such a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth can be sucked away by people? It is normal for spiritual energy to change due to the activity of spiritual veins." said the elegant middle-aged Wang Tianxuan.

Wang Xiaotian, the ancestor of the Wang family, showed a rare fluctuation on his wrinkled and white-haired face, and said with some suspicion:

"This time, I agree with Yun Hai's opinion. Such a large-scale fluctuation of spiritual energy does not seem to be caused by spiritual vein activity."

"But the impact is not that big. The most important thing right now is how to deal with the upcoming changes in Tianxing City."

Immediately afterwards, the other two nodded in agreement.

Wang Yunhai carefully set up an isolation barrier, and then asked the ancestor of the Wang family: "Ancestor, that Sky-Swallowing Hound asked our Wang family to support the ascension of Lord Jin Ao. Could it have other purposes?"

“Hmph! I didn’t expect that this beast got the spiritual item that could restore his strength from somewhere. He actually recovered to the sixth level before I could take him down.” Wang Xiaotian said with a gloomy face.

"It seems that he had planned to let our Wang family come to Tianxing City to develop. I guess there are other people helping this guy in secret."

Wang Tianxuan immediately asked: "What should we do next?"

"It doesn't matter. The secret technique that this ancestor secretly performed at the beginning would not be so easy to be discovered. We just need to wait for the right time." The ancestor of the Wang family said very confidently.

Apparently, his blood-forbidden secret technique was also effective against the sixth-level demon god.

"By the way, I heard that Xiaogui Peak has been getting close to several captains of the Star Guards in Tianxing City recently. But has the guy surnamed Li also joined their team?"

Wang Tianxuan replied, "No, as far as I know, the two Star Guard captains went to Xiaogui Peak to buy Lingmi Pills, and considering the reclusive style of the boy surnamed Li, he should not join any faction."

"And the two captains of the Silver Armor Star Guards are still under the command of Lord Jin Ao, just like our Wang family."

"Humph! Li is a simple person. Under this trend, all the forces in the surrounding areas of Tianxing City are simply wishful thinking if they want to stay out of it and protect themselves." Wang Yunhai sneered, "Those hesitant fence-sitters usually don't end up well."

The ancestor of the Wang family narrowed his eyes slightly and said immediately: "Since we have already pledged our allegiance to the faction of Lord Jin Ao, we should also show some sincerity. Didn't the Li family of Wutong Mountain secretly set us up before?"

"Then let's start with the Li family. The Li family's support for Qian Yuanzi of Zhitian Palace can be regarded as a token of our loyalty."

"You guys go down and get ready."

"Yes!"

……

Time passed, and two months passed.

Qin Ming was in the small spiritual realm, holding some spiritual melons and fruits in his hand, teasing the real spirit Kunpeng.

"Xiao Qing, how come I haven't put on any weight even after feeding you for several years?"

Kunpeng turned into the size of a calf, opened his mouth to catch the spiritual fruit thrown by Qin Ming, and swallowed it in two or three gulps, like a bottomless pit.
It seemed to understand Qin Ming's intentions. It rubbed its big head against Qin Ming and cried out, asking him to feed it more good food.

Qin Ming's face suddenly darkened, "You are too good at making money. The resources consumed in your stomach over the past few years are enough to train several people in the God Transformation Stage."

"I haven't seen any signs that you are going to break through to the sixth level." However, Qin Ming thought about taking his true spirit essence and blood to refine the True Spirit Five Pole Mountain in the near future, and he felt relieved after thinking about it.

Everything is worth it!
He patted Xiaoqing's head. He didn't think that he was the ancient True Spirit King at all. He didn't have the majestic demeanor. Instead, he looked as pure as an innocent child who had not grown up.

The Sky-Eating Rat was farming outside these days and had no time to take care of it, so this guy kept making a fuss in the small spiritual realm.

Qin Ming casually used a spiritual spell to control a piece of wood like walking a dog, letting the dog chase him around.

But this True Spirit Kunpeng was also very powerful. No matter how fast Qin Ming accelerated, it could always bring it back quickly.
Even if he used his fastest void magical power, Kunpeng would be able to catch up. This was the power of his natural bloodline talent.

In addition, this Kun has thick skin and flesh, and there are probably very few people who can threaten or harm it.

Qin Ming even tried using his magical powers and spells, and even the Wind-Thunder Mysterious Stick, a treasure that could return to the void, could withstand it easily.

This is before it manifests a three thousand foot tall body.

Qin Ming touched Xiaoqing's head and estimated that if it showed its full strength, it should now have the combat power of the Void Refinement Level.

In this way, coupled with my current great success in physical training, I have a great ability to protect myself in this period that is about to become uneasy.

Just when Qin Ming was teasing Xiaoqing.

I only saw the Sky-Eating Rat transformed into a Taoist boy in a green robe and walked in from outside.

When Xiaoqing saw it coming back, she was more excited than seeing Qin Ming. She ran to the Sky-Devouring Rat, looked like she was yelling, and started rubbing against it hard.

"Go, go, go! Go play over there!"

The Sky-Eating Rat kicked Xiao Qing away in disgust, but Xiao Qing rolled on the ground for several times without any damage, and then stuck to Xiao Qing again.
"Alas! You are such a restless fellow. How can you be so energetic? Your master should send you to farm as well."

The Sky-Devouring Rat said helplessly, then rummaged in his arms, took out some elixirs and threw them to Xiaoqing.

While Xiaoqing was picking up the elixir, the Sky-Eating Rat quickly came to Qin Ming and reported with a shy smile:

"Master, Li Changqing from Wutong Mountain wants to see you. This old guy seems to have been beaten up. He looks very sad. He is already waiting outside the cave house on Xiaogui Peak."

"Oh? Could something have happened in the outside world again?" Qin Ming frowned when he heard that.

He immediately left the small spiritual realm with the Sky-Devouring Rat.

After a while.

Qin Ming met Li Changqing in the courtyard of the main peak.

But Li Changqing looked like a petrified wooden sculpture, staring blankly at the Qingqiongtian tree on the main peak for a long time.

There was still a look of disbelief in his eyes, and he was lost in thought.

So when Qin Ming came out to see him, Li Changqing didn't even notice that he was approaching.

"Friend Li, long time no see."

Qin Ming greeted him and Li Changqing suddenly woke up and came back to his senses.

"Oh, Li Dao is friendly!"

He pointed at the towering tree in front of him with a look of shock, and asked hesitantly, "Daoyou Li, is this sacred tree a sixth-level spiritual plant that you planted?"

"That's right. It's just that this Spirit Gathering Divine Tree was obtained by chance by me. It can't be said that I cultivated it. I just didn't expect it to survive after I planted it." Qin Ming answered implicitly.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li! I never thought that at such a young age you have surpassed me and reached the level of a sixth-rank spiritual plant master.” Li Changqing was deeply moved upon hearing this and congratulated him sincerely.

He knew that Qin Ming had obtained the spiritual plant inheritance in the Tianxing City inheritance tower, but he did not expect that his spiritual plant skills had improved so quickly that he had already planted a sixth-order sacred tree.

Is the inheritance of spiritual plants really that powerful?

Qin Ming smiled slightly and said, "It's still too early to become a sixth-level spiritual plant master. After all, this tree can only be regarded as a transplant by Li."

"It's just that not long ago, Li gathered all the materials for planting and cultivating the sixth-level Daobing Spirit Beans and has already planted them. Whether or not I can truly advance to the sixth-level spiritual plant skills by then depends on this."

After saying that, Qin Ming pointed to the small piece of reddish-yellow spiritual soil in front of the cave entrance, in which were buried the spiritual seeds of the Taoist spiritual beans.

Li Changqing looked over. With his attainments in spiritual plants, it was not difficult to see that the vitality contained in Qin Ming's spiritual bean had already been rejuvenated, and it would probably sprout soon.

He sighed again and said, "It seems that it is only a matter of time before Fellow Daoist Li is promoted to the sixth-level Spiritual Plant Master. I think I have to congratulate you in advance."

"Although I have learned the method of cultivating and growing spirit beans from Brother Li, I have not dared to put it into action yet. I am still studying it hard. It seems that I have to learn from you this time! I hope Brother Li will be generous with his advice!" Li Changqing said humbly and sincerely, clasping his fists.

Qin Ming waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is too serious. We are just communicating with each other as spiritual plant masters. Please have some tea."

Subsequently.

After inviting the other party to take a seat, Qin Ming ordered the Sky-Eating Rat and the Little Silver Fox to serve spiritual tea, light spiritual incense, and serve on the side.

Li Changqing took a look at Qin Ming's golden boy and jade girl with their pets around their knees, and felt extremely envious.

"Ah! Fellow Daoist Li is still free and easy! With this spiritual vein environment and the company of spiritual pets and plants, he is not too lonely. Unlike me, I have been overwhelmed by what happened recently."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Brother Li? But what happened?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

Li Changqing took a sip of the spiritual tea and then started talking about business: "That's right! I think Fellow Daoist Li must have already paid attention to the changes in Tianxing City. I don't know where the Wang family got the news from, but they already know that it was my Li family who reported them for privately worshipping the big monster and sacrificing blood to the Yuanying family."

Immediately, Li Changqing told Qin Ming the whole story, including the cause and effect of the incident and what had happened recently.

Probably, the Wang family relied on their relationship with Lord Jin Ao's Star Guard to wait for an opportunity to retaliate against the Li family, causing many casualties among the Li family members in just two months.

In addition, all the commercial goods were looted, resulting in heavy losses.

Although the Wang family is an alien force that migrated here, its overall strength is much higher than that of the Li family.

Not to mention what realm the enshrined demon has reached, just the three gods of the Wang family, plus the ancestor of the Wang family who has broken through to the perfection of the gods, the Li family is naturally no match for them.

After Qin Ming heard this, he also had a strange look on his face.

After all, it was he who passed the message to Li Changqing and asked him to find reliable contacts in Tianxing City to report the Wang family.

But he didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
This time, Li Changqing came to find Qin Ming in the hope that as neighbors, they could lend a helping hand when the Li family was in trouble.

"Alas! The muddy water in Tianxing City is getting deeper and deeper. It is a wise choice for Brother Li to stay out of it." Li Changqing also said.

"I don't want to drag Fellow Daoist Li into this either. I just hope that if I am no longer around, I won't ask for much. I just hope that you can take care of the Li family members for the sake of our friendship."

"I came here this time just to remind you to be careful of the Wang family. You never know when they will sneak attack Xiaogui Peak."

When saying this, Li Changqing's eyes were full of vicissitudes. He seemed to be ready to fight to the death with Wang Jiayu.

While diligently pouring tea, the Sky-Eating Rat looked at Li Changqing from time to time and couldn't help but say, "Master Li, if you can't beat them, can't you just run away with your people? Why do you insist on fighting them to death? How unworthy is that?"

"You're making arrangements for your afterlife. How unlucky is that?"

“As the saying goes, if you keep the green firewood, you won’t have to worry about losing the mountain.”

Qin Ming glared at the Sky-Devouring Rat and patted its head with his hand. "Who did you learn this little poem from? Read less storybooks for me in the future! Bring some spiritual fruits to Brother Li."

"Hey, hey, hey! Can't I just be wrong?"

After being taught a lesson by Qin Ming, the Sky-Eating Rat ran away in embarrassment, scratching its head.

"Don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Li. This fellow is used to being wild." Qin Ming immediately asked the little silver fox to pour spiritual tea for Li Changqing and continued, "I believe that the Li family can survive this disaster safely. There is no need to worry too much."

"Li, I would also like to thank Brother Li for his kind reminder."

Next, the two of them communicated for another half a day.

Li Changqing said goodbye to Qin Ming and left.

Qin Ming watched the other party leave, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"It looks like the Wang family is really restless! It looks like they need to be punished."

Immediately.

He called his number one shake-head warrior, the Sky-devouring Rat, over and instructed it:
"You and Fairy Lan Bing are following behind the Li family. If someone from the Wang family takes action, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand! I understand! Master, don't worry! Hehehe!" The Sky-Eating Rat's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Qin Ming meant. He showed a cunning look on his face and grinned evilly.

It immediately went to another cave on the main peak, called the Blue Ice Fairy, then rode the Ice Crystal Bird into the void and disappeared.

Now, with the strength of Sky-Devouring Rat and Blue Ice Fairy, and the blessing of their true spirit bloodlines, they are more than capable of facing a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The ancestor of the Wang family would naturally not take action himself, so it was enough to let the two of them secretly plot against the Wang family.

After arranging these things.

Qin Ming returned to the cave and continued to practice "Xuanming Zhenshui Jing".

Over time.

Tick!
Tick!
Drops of Xuanming heavy water slowly condensed in Qin Ming's body.

After a period of hard training.

There are already eight drops of heavy water. He is only one step away from mastering the last water element of the Five Elements Kung Fu.
