Chapter 730 Seven Crimson Condensing Void Pill

During the banquet.

The newly arrived Grand Commander, Zi Chen, didn't say much, but simply drank heartily, praising the spirit wine brewed by Qin Ming.

"Since you're already here, I can't be impolite. Here's a small token of my congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li on your advancement to the Void Refinement stage. May your future be bright and your path to immortality boundless."

After speaking, Zi Chen Shenjun took out a jade box and handed it to Qin Ming.

"Why would the President do this?"

He politely declined, then took the jade box and opened it.

Inside, there were five pieces of immortal jade and a elixir that emitted a blue glow.

There are seven mysterious blue-green Dao patterns on it, and even just holding it up close, you can feel a strange Dao aura.

As a sixth-order Pill God, Qin Ming was naturally familiar with the Daoist principles of this kind of pill. This pill was clearly a sixth-order low-grade divine pill that could enhance one's Void Refinement cultivation.

"Seven Crimson Condensing Elixir!"

Elder Lin, who was standing nearby, looked surprised.

As one cultivates to the Void Refinement Realm, the number of pills that can enhance one's cultivation level decreases.

Even in the Spirit Realm, only a few types of pills can assist cultivators in the Void Refinement stage in their cultivation.

Even if you have immortal jade, you might not be able to buy it.

Qin Ming learned a lot of relevant knowledge from Daoist Lu Yun.

The Refining Void stage is considered a high-level stage in the entire cultivation system. The primordial spirit becomes ethereal and merges with heaven and earth, but it is also prone to backlash from inner demons.

First, one's primordial spirit must be strong enough to merge with the void; second, one needs to comprehend the power of heaven and earth to cultivate.

Otherwise, in the long process of cultivation, it is very easy for spatial rifts to damage the soul and breed hidden dangers of inner demons.

Therefore, the pills for the Void Refining stage are no longer about accumulating a large amount of magical power, but rather about 'condensing the Void Essence', enhancing the understanding of the laws, and greatly improving the efficiency of refining the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

As far as Qin Ming knows, the only sixth-tier pills suitable for the Void Refining stage are the 'Seven Crimson Void Condensation Pill' and the 'Nine Revolutions Enlightenment Pill'. The latter is of an even higher grade, reaching the level of a mid-grade sixth-tier divine pill.

To refine a sixth-order divine pill, not only does the alchemist need a profound understanding of spatial power, but the spiritual materials from heaven and earth required for the pill must also contain the power of the origin of heaven and earth before they can be used as medicine.

Qin Ming had even heard Daoist Lu Yun mention that when refining the 'Nine-Patterned Enlightenment Pill,' a very special ingredient was needed: the 'lingering echoes of the Dao' from a great master's sermon, which served as a medicinal guide.
Alternatively, there is a chance that 'precious and wondrous energy' will be generated when a great monk or master has an epiphany.
Qin Ming had never even heard of such a thing.
It is estimated that only when a powerful being in the Integration Stage preaches the Dao would there be a chance of creating the so-called 'Daoist echo' medicinal ingredient.
This demonstrates how rare and difficult it is to refine sixth-order divine pills.

"I am deeply grateful for such a generous gift from the Grand Commander!" Qin Ming had not expected that the newly arrived Grand Commander in the Purple Gold Armor would present such a congratulatory gift.

After all, this was the first time the two had met.

Qin Ming also secretly admired the other party's profound background. As expected of someone from one of the three holy lands of the human race, he was very generous, giving away sixth-order divine pills without hesitation.

"It's alright. I just arrived in Tianxing City to take up my post and happened to run into Fellow Daoist Li's celebration. It's quite a coincidence." Divine Lord Zichen waved his hand dismissively.

"If Fellow Daoist Li feels bad about it, then I'll give you two jugs of Spiritual Rhinoceros Jade Liquid. It really tastes quite good!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming hurriedly ordered the Devouring Sky Rat to bring two large jars of spirit wine from the cave and present them to him.

The president accepted it with a smile, without the slightest bit of politeness.

This scene astonished the elders sitting nearby.

Unexpectedly, Divine Lord Zichen took a liking to the spirit wine brewed by Qin Ming.

He seems to be a connoisseur of wine.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Li is truly lucky, obtaining such a divine pill right after breaking through." Elder Lin's eyes also revealed a hint of envy.

"This Seven Crimson Void Condensation Pill is the most important foundation-strengthening and energy-nourishing pill for cultivators in the Void Refining stage, and it is just right for Fellow Daoist Li who is breaking through his realm."

Qin Ming smiled faintly. He could easily tell from the reactions of the elders that even the elders of Tianxing City could not easily obtain such pills. They would probably need to accumulate a lot of merit points to exchange for them.

Besides, everyone was also somewhat puzzled about this newly arrived commander in the Purple Gold Armor.

After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food.

Zi Chen Divine Lord did not mince words. Since all the elders of Tianxing City were present, he directly inquired about the current situation.

Qian Yuanzi and the others below did not dare to hide anything and reported the internal and external situation of Kunlun Domain to him.

Qin Ming listened to everything from the side.

Such detailed intelligence could fetch a fortune if obtained by an intelligence organization.

After all, this is all the latest and most important intelligence.

Before arriving, Divine Lord Zichen seemed to have already learned some information, so he simply nodded slightly.

Subsequently.

After they had eaten, drunk, and chatted enough, Divine Lord Zichen, along with several elders from Tianxing City, bid farewell to Qin Ming and left.

Qin Ming did not inquire about Xiao Xun's situation in public.

This was only a preliminary acquaintance; familiarity breeds contempt, and Qin Ming planned to investigate further on his own later.

Furthermore, he observed that this commander in the Purple Gold Armor was rather easygoing and seemed approachable.

A few days later.

Qin Ming's Void Refinement Ceremony came to an end, and all those who had come to participate in the ceremony took their leave one after another.

With the presence of the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Holy Armor, such a high-ranking and powerful figure, at Qin Ming's celebration, the event was truly a grand affair.

This surprised everyone and generated a lot of discussion.

Qin Ming also had a private get-together with Su Yuqing, Diaoyunsou, and Yao Tiannan.

In return, they gave him some spiritual items.

Qin Ming recorded his entire experience in refining the Yin-Yang Returning to Emptiness Pill in a jade slip and gave it to Su Yuqing.

……

……

Inside the Starlight Temple in Tianxing City.

The Purple Star Divine Lord, clad in a purple-gold holy armor, sat majestically on the gilded throne at the head of the table. His face was extremely calm, his eyes were lowered, and his gaze was as deep and unfathomable as a river of stars.
It's as if a single glance can see right through a person's heart.

At this moment, the main hall of Tianxing City was filled with high-ranking officials at the elder level and above.

All of this was to welcome the arrival of this new leader, for from this day forward, Tianxing City would be transformed.

The Golden Armored Star Guard elders below were extremely respectful and dared not disobey or act presumptuously when facing their new superior, whose cultivation was unfathomable.

After the inauguration ceremony was completed.

Zi Chen Shenjun, whose eyes had been lowered, suddenly opened them and scanned the crowd below.

There was a faint, elusive aura emanating from him, which caused the temperature in the room to suddenly drop to freezing.

The golden-armored elders in the main hall were all startled, feeling a sense of awe and unease, as if they were being watched closely.

But the next moment.

Suddenly, the commander in the purple-gold holy armor above said in a cold voice:
"I received extremely accurate intelligence even before I arrived."

"Within the upper echelons of the Immortal City, in their struggle for power and profit, some have dared to secretly collude with alien races and drive wild beasts to attack surrounding spiritual lands in order to suppress other forces."

Upon hearing this, all the elders present changed color.

They never expected that someone would dare to commit such a heinous act, a capital offense.

For a moment, they were all filled with doubt and uncertainty. Since the Grand Commander had said so, it meant that he had substantial evidence.

Among everyone present, there was one person who could no longer sit still: Jin Ao, the God-King who commanded the Star Guard Army.

His eyes were darting around, and cold sweat was pouring down his back. He couldn't figure out which joint had gone wrong.

'Could it be Ling Tianjun's place?'

Just as Jin Ao Shenjun's thoughts were racing.

A cold, questioning voice exploded in his heart like thunder:

"Elder Jin Ao, don't you have an explanation for me?" Boom!

Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes fell upon Jin Ao Shenjun in astonishment.

As a military commander in charge of great power, he actually did such a thing.

Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Jin Ao Shenjun was still somewhat unwilling to give up and said, "Commander, you must be mistaken. Without any evidence, you're just making a big show of things as a new official. Are you perhaps trying to use me as a scapegoat?"

"Although the Star Palace is powerful, our Xuantian Sword Sect is not to be trifled with."

This cunning old fox has now brought up his sect, after all, their Xuantian Sword Sect is the dominant sect at the Integration level in the Xuantian Domain.

In Jin Ao Shenjun's calculations, he thought that even if the other party had some leverage over him, they would not dare to openly break ties with him and cause a major conflict within the Starshine Temple.

"Hmph! Still dare to be stubborn even when death is imminent."

"I'll let you die knowing why."

After saying that, Divine Lord Zichen threw a jade slip in front of him.

The Golden Pride God's expression was uncertain, but he still released his divine sense to take a look inside.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.

boom! !

Without saying a word, a powerful fluctuation of illusory energy, typical of the late-stage Refinement Realm, emanated from his body, and he attempted to flee the main hall.

Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Jin Ao Shenjun was about to use his supernatural powers to escape.

He believed that with his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage, he was among the top three in the crowd. Even the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Saint Armor was still only at the Void Refinement stage, no matter how strong he was.

He still has a chance to escape this place.

Throughout history, the victors and the vanquished have always been destined to be kings and villains.

"Hmph! Still trying to put up a stubborn resistance?"

Swish!
However, the Grand Commander in the Purple-Gold Saint Armor at the head of the table did not move at all, but an incomparably terrifying spiritual pressure materialized and suppressed the entire space of the hall.

Jin Ao Shenjun's face was filled with horror. His figure, which had been halfway to escape, was instantly frozen in place, as if the weight of the entire world was being crushed onto him.

Followed by.

next moment.

The dim sword mark between Zi Chen Shen Jun's brows suddenly lit up, and thousands of starlight sword rays emerged.

These incomparably sharp sword beams, with their bizarre and twisted forms, pierced towards Jin Ao Shenjun like swimming threads.

Jin Ao Shenjun also used a life-saving technique. With a thought, a small golden sword flew out from between his eyebrows.

The golden sword spun around him, and countless golden lights flashed, condensing into a golden sword shield in mid-air, protecting him like a giant golden egg.

"The technique of transforming primordial spirit into a sword?"

Upon seeing this, Divine Lord Zichen merely sneered.

Swish!
puff! !
What happened next surprised everyone present.

The Grand Commander's countless star-shaped sword marks easily shattered the golden sword shield and then passed through the body of the Golden Arrogant God.

next moment.

Jin Ao Shenjun was instantly cleaved into countless pieces, without even being able to utter a scream.

Immediately afterwards, a golden primordial spirit emerged from the fragments of the corpse, frantically trying to teleport away.

But it was grasped in the hand by an invisible giant hand.

After Zi Chen Shenjun finished all this, he remained unmoved, his gaze devoid of emotion, and immediately began to use the Soul Searching Technique on him.

In an instant, the extremely shrill screams of the Golden Arrogant God Lord echoed throughout the entire hall, lingering for a long time.
Upon seeing this scene, Qian Yuanzi, Elder Lin, and the others were immediately filled with trepidation.

Even a powerful cultivator like Jin Ao Shenjun was no match for him.
The two are only separated by one minor realm, yet the difference is so great?

What shocked everyone even more was that the decisive and ruthless commander in the Purple Gold Armor was completely different from his previous friendly demeanor at Little Turtle Peak.

They're like completely different people.
Even the Void Refining Elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect was killed without hesitation.

For a moment, the hall was filled with a somber atmosphere.

Everyone's perception of the young man in the purple-gold armor was completely refreshed.

……

About half a month later.

After Little Turtle Peak returned to its former tranquility, Qin Ming resumed his life of farming and cultivation.

Xu Xuan tallied all the congratulatory gifts presented by various forces and cultivators at the celebration and personally handed them to Qin Ming.

"Hehe! Reporting to the Peak Master, this time we have a total of twenty-one Immortal Jade pieces, eight pieces of sixth-grade low-level spiritual materials, and several other treasures."

Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction and pocketed all the gifts.

The Devouring Rat was still watching longingly from the side.

Qin Ming selected several spiritual items and bestowed them upon them.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming entered the cave and took out the sixth-grade, seventh-level, condensed-void pill that he had just received as a gift.

He took the pill and continued his cultivation.

In a moment.

The medicinal power of this sixth-order divine pill dissolved within Qin Ming's body, helping him transform the chaotic and vast external spiritual energy into pure spiritual energy that could be absorbed by his Void Refinement stage primordial spirit, thus deepening the connection between his primordial spirit and the world.

Several days later.

Qin Ming slowly opened his dark eyes and commented calmly, "This Seven Crimson Void Condensation Pill is indeed extraordinary. It actually contains such a huge amount of spatial power, which has made my realm much more stable."

"This pill should be the most suitable sixth-grade pill for the transition from the early to the middle stage of the Void Refinement realm."

"If only I could get my hands on the recipe, I could refine the pill myself."

After the cultivation was completed.

Qin Ming pondered his next plan.

Adhering to the principle of steady development, he now has a place in Tianxing City, and the surrounding resources are relatively abundant. He can farm and develop here, and first cultivate to advance to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

With the help of the vocabulary entries, he will definitely be much faster than other cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

Furthermore, he has created the True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain and achieved the Great Perfection of Demon Infant Primordial Spirit Body Refinement. He has no need to worry about the tribulations of the Minor Void Refinement Realm and can deal with them calmly and confidently.

Unlike other cultivators who strive to avoid tribulations, they don't have to worry about delaying their breakthrough due to a lack of tribulation-resistant treasures.

After Qin Ming finished his cultivation, he walked out of the cave.

He summoned Baili Hui to learn about the recent situation outside, but learned a surprising piece of news from him.

Within Tianxing City, something happened that shocked the entire human race's upper echelons.

That was the newly arrived Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Saint Armor, who displayed his divine might and openly killed the Golden Pride Divine Lord of the Star Guard in front of a group of Void Refinement Elders within the Star Radiance Temple, extracting his soul and refining his spirit on the spot.
Elder Luo and others from his faction were all implicated and reportedly dragged to the front lines of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss to fight the alien race.

Upon learning this news, Qin Ming was also deeply moved. Zi Chen Divine Lord appeared to be very down-to-earth, but in reality, his methods were extremely ruthless.

What surprised him even more was the cultivation level of this Purple Gold Saint Armor Grand Commander; he truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful figure who came from the Heavenly Ridge Mountains.

Even a late-stage Void Refinement Realm expert like Jin Ao Shenjun was killed without hesitation.

Qin Ming also guessed that this matter might be related to his previous report to Lin and the others that there were spies in the Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yuanzi acted swiftly, obtaining leverage so quickly based solely on Ling Tian Shenjun's memories.
