Chapter 731 Unveiling the Mystery, Planting Immortal Peaches
Over the next few months.

After taking office, the newly appointed Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Armor ruthlessly purged the powerful elites of Tianxing City.

As a result, the overall landscape of the Kunlun Domain has undergone an unprecedented reshuffling and transformation.

Many factions and families that chose the wrong side were also purged and forced to flee the Kunlun Domain in disarray.

Several spiritual plant families and sects in the Donghuang Mountains, including the Li family of Wutong Mountain, Wanhua Valley, and Shenmu Sect, were fortunate enough to escape unscathed.

They had initially supported Qian Yuanzi's faction within the Zhitian Palace.

Furthermore, Zi Chen Shenjun had been fighting against humans, demons, and monsters in the Tianji Mountains for a thousand years, and his methods were endless. He quickly stabilized the situation.

He even personally went to the front lines to supervise the battle, killing several Void Refinement Demon Clan members, which not only made him famous but also stabilized the morale of the troops.

The front lines of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, along with several alien races, shifted from defense to offense and achieved considerable success, inflicting heavy losses on the demon race and the ghosts of the underworld.

This is the significant impact of a supreme commander.

The harassment from the wild beasts surrounding the Kunlun Domain also subsided, and for a time, the prestige of this newly promoted Purple Gold Saint Armor Grand Commander reached its peak.

What was originally a crisis was gradually resolved through this person's skillful manipulation.

On Little Turtle Peak.

Qin Ming took the intelligence report in his hand, browsed through it, and then put it away.

"Those who can sit in the position of Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Saint Armor are indeed not ordinary cultivators."

"His first act upon taking office was to eliminate his own people."

"Truly impressive, with extraordinary spirit."

During this time.

The Devouring Rat probably ate good food every day and built up its resources, successfully breaking through to the mid-stage of the fifth rank Demon Lord realm.

The main reason is that it has awakened part of its true spirit bloodline, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and indeed several times faster than before.

This is the innate advantage brought about by bloodline talent.

After breaking through, the Devouring Sky Rat was still very proud and kept showing off in front of Qin Ming and the Little Silver Fox. Then it circled the spiritual land of Little Turtle Peak for several days.

It seemed afraid that others wouldn't know it had broken through to the mid-stage of the fifth rank of Demon Lord.

However, this also reminded Qin Ming of something.

That was the stone statue of the twelve zodiac animals that he had previously found in Lingtian Divine Lord's storage bag. Now, all that was missing was a sliver of the rat demon's essence blood to unlock its secret.
So Qin Ming summoned the fellow to his side.

The Devouring Rat, disguised as a young Taoist boy in a green robe, excitedly approached Qin Ming and asked:

"What's wrong, Master? What do you need me for?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming revealed an extremely satisfied expression, and then reached out to pat its shoulder:

"Yes, you've been doing really well lately! Keep up the good work."

He first praised the Devouring Sky Rat, then raised his hand and coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem! I obtained a set of zodiac stone statues from that rogue cultivator."

"We need to take some of your blood to unlock the secret."

"Ah? Master, you're going to bleed me?" The Devouring Rat turned pale upon hearing this, its legs trembling with fear.
Its former imposing presence has long since vanished.

Because it had previously heard Qin Ming say that its true spirit bloodline was not pure enough and that it needed a large bucket of blood every now and then, it was no wonder that it was afraid of it.

Qin Ming immediately said, "Don't worry, this time I only need some ordinary blood, not my primordial essence blood. I'll test it first. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to trouble you to contribute two drops of your own life essence blood."

The Devouring Rat's expression finally improved.

immediately.

Qin Ming didn't make much preparation. He simply raised his hand and placed the twelve zodiac animal statues on the ground in a circular arrangement.

He placed the stone statue of the rat zodiac animal in front of the Devouring Rat.

The Sky-Devouring Rat immediately hardened its heart, revealing a look of grief and resolute determination, and bit its tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood towards the stone statue.
All of a sudden.

On the gray zodiac stone statue, blood-red spiritual patterns suddenly appeared and lit up, clearly taking effect.

"Alright, you can go now. Let the little silver fox cook you a pot of spirit fish soup to nourish your body."

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming's face lit up with joy, and he immediately spoke to the Devouring Sky Rat.

The Devouring Rat, however, was unwilling to leave. It wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth and said, "No need. I want to see what secrets this thing holds that made me pay such a heavy price."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this and then let it watch from the side.

Also, make the Devouring Rat stand further away, lest it cause some trouble and accidentally hurt it.

Qin Ming patiently waited for all the blood patterns on the rat demon statue to light up.

hum!
When all the spiritual patterns on the stone zodiac statues were connected, a mysterious aura resonated in the darkness.

The twelve stone statues in front of Qin Ming began to crack, spewing out wisps of gray mist.
Qin Ming was all too familiar with this gray aura.

"It's actually the aura of a celestial demon!"

Even the Sky-Eating Rat standing to the side was taken aback.

So much celestial demonic energy.

It was actually sealed inside twelve ordinary-looking stone statues.

Even Qin Ming was quite surprised.

He immediately took out several exquisite jade bottles and collected all the demonic energy.

This item alone was an invaluable opportunity for him, allowing him to further advance his body cultivation. Immediately afterwards...

Once the demonic energy dissipated, the stone statues in front of them shattered completely.

Immediately afterwards, countless crimson runes burst forth, weaving together in mid-air to form a dazzling and brilliant radiance.

Four items fell from the blinding light.

They were a ball of earthy yellow spiritual light, a page of golden seal script as thin as a cicada's wing, a blood-red demon fruit shaped like a heart, and a five-colored ring-shaped spiritual treasure.

The yellowish-brown spiritual light emanated an aura of the Great Dao's origin, which Qin Ming was very familiar with, and he was overjoyed.

"It's actually the essence of innate Earth element!"

He had previously gathered five ultimate items for use in his attempt to break through to the Void Refinement stage, and he still had some left unused.

Including the current innate Earth element essence, along with the innate Thunder element essence, he has collected six of the five elements and three wonders at their peak.
These innate spiritual treasures will be of great use to Qin Ming in the future, whether he is refining weapons, alchemy, or farming, so he can never have too many.

Secondly, there was the page with the gold seal script, which was densely covered with a peculiar pictographic script that Qin Ming did not recognize at first.

I put it away.

Finally, there was the five-colored circular spiritual treasure, which Qin Ming was about to pick up and examine.

But the next moment.

He had barely picked up the treasure when a barrage of information flooded into his mind.

"Five Elements Demon-Slaying Wheel"

Qin Ming's expression turned strange.

After some investigation, it was discovered that this was actually a Void Returning Treasure crafted by a powerful demon clan member specifically for demon cultivators.

It even has its complete treasure-refining technique.

After studying it for a while, Qin Ming put it away, thinking that it might come in handy someday after he refined it.

Finally, there was the fist-sized, blood-red demon fruit, shaped like a heart, with various mysterious demonic patterns protruding on it, radiating an extremely dense demonic aura.

Qin Ming was shocked to discover that the celestial demonic aura that had previously emerged actually originated from this fruit.

It is easy to imagine how precious this demon fruit is; it is definitely a rare item from the ancient demon realm.

The Devouring Rat's eyes widened in astonishment. It stepped forward and massaged Qin Ming's shoulders, saying very solicitously:

"Master, I have just bled and urgently need this fruit to replenish my strength."

Qin Ming held the spiritual fruit, pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "No, let me study the origin of this demonic fruit first."

Then, under the eager gaze of the Devouring Sky Rat, Qin Ming placed the demon fruit into the jade box and put it away.

Qin Ming remembered its great contribution before he was willing to leave.

But when it heard that Qin Ming told it to continue its cultivation, and that he was going to use the true spirit essence blood to further refine the Yuanji Divine Mountain and make it one with the previous Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, its legs went weak and it almost couldn't stand up.
They fled the cave as fast as they could.

……

The following days.

Qin Ming then took out the small piece of 'Mysterious Spirit Immortal Peach Wood' that the Jiang father and son had specially come to apologize to during the Refinement of Void celebration.

This item, being a sixth-grade superior divine wood, is extremely rare.

On that day, everyone thought that this piece of peach wood could be used to refine weapons.

However, Qin Ming, as a plant master, had a different idea from them. He noticed that the peach wood still had roots on it and that they were well preserved.

He used his Yin-Yang Mystic Mirror technique to scan the roots and surprisingly discovered that there was still a faint trace of life remaining on them.

Therefore, Qin Ming wanted to try to grow it. Compared to divine wood and spiritual materials, what he really wanted was to be able to eat the legendary sixth-grade high-quality immortal peach.

Ever since.

Qin Ming immediately began to carry out the plan. He went to the Immortal's Remains Field in the Little Spirit Realm and found an open space.

Furthermore, this celestial field already contains various kinds of spiritual soil and is directly connected to the sixth-order spiritual vein on the small tortoise peak outside, so there is naturally not much of a problem in planting and cultivating this spiritual plant.

After inserting the cutting of the Mysterious Spirit Peach into the spiritual soil, he used up several [Regeneration Spirit Seed] entries with a thought.

In an instant, countless purple spores emerged from the ground, enveloping the piece of peach wood and restoring its vitality.

After some time.

Qin Ming saw a wisp of emerald light emerge from the Xuanling Immortal Peach Wood, and then it began to grow stronger.

A look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he immediately used up all the stored "Time Flies" entries to grow it to a height of three feet.

This sixth-order Xuanling Immortal Peach has been revived and has grown branches and sprouted several tender buds, giving it a feeling of withered wood coming back to life.

However, Qin Ming did not choose to continue to accelerate its growth. Instead, he wanted to find some spiritual objects to patiently nurture it. Otherwise, it would suffer from malnutrition after it grew up, which would be a loss.

Qin Ming quickly found the cultivation method for a sixth-grade superior Xuanling Immortal Peach in the "Qinghua Spiritual Canon".

Fortunately, there is this immortal's abandoned field, with all the necessary conditions in place. Qin Ming only needs to find a few kinds of fertilizer.

Besides.

Qin Ming also found some information about the blood-red demon fruit he had obtained earlier from a jade slip.

This fruit has quite a history; it's called the 'Spirit-Calling Demon Fruit,' a top-grade sixth-tier demon fruit that only works on demonic beasts.

After a demon beast consumes this fruit, it can greatly purify the true spirit bloodline contained within its body. If there are enough of them, it can even refine and evolve its bloodline into a pure true spirit bloodline.
Qin Ming clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "After all this time, it turns out that the Devouring Sky Rat and the others have had a great opportunity."
