Chapter 755 Mission to Negotiate Peace
In the Little Spirit Realm.

The Devouring Rat remained drunk for three whole months.

It rubbed its head, finally waking up from the aftereffects of drinking the Void Moon Invitation Wine.

"pain!"

"My head is about to split open."

When the little silver fox and Tian Ling'er saw that it had finally woken up, they had already prepared a hangover remedy.

The Devouring Rat opened its eyes groggily and was immediately greeted by a fragrant breeze. It saw the little silver fox gently holding a soup spoon, supporting its body, and bringing the medicine to its mouth.

"Brother Mouse, you really scared us to death."

"If Master hadn't said you were alright, I would have thought you wouldn't wake up."

"This hangover soup is made by simmering royal jelly with rare medicinal herbs. Drink it quickly, it might help."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat felt a surge of warmth in its heart.

The main thing was enjoying the little silver fox's service; it was so comfortable that I was reluctant to give up such a rare opportunity.

The Devouring Rat quickly finished the hangover medicine and, still somewhat unsatisfied, said to the little silver fox:
"Um... I'm still feeling a little unwell, I think I need three more bowls."

Upon hearing this, the little silver fox immediately blushed.

Even Tian Ling'er, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore.

at this time.

"You were quite the show-off, weren't you? You said you could drink two catties of spirit wine, how come you passed out after just one cup?"

As Qin Ming's voice rang out, the Devouring Rat dared not pretend any longer. It quickly scrambled to its feet, scratched its head, and said:

"Hehe! Master, I was wrong, okay?"

"I will never dare to drink too much again."

"However, after drinking that cup of spiritual wine, my cultivation level increased significantly, and I'm not far from the Great Perfection of the Fifth Rank."

The Devouring Rat had only recently broken through to the late stage of the fifth rank.

A single cup of this spiritual wine can propel one's cultivation to a great height, which is enough to demonstrate the domineering efficacy of the Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Wine.

Qin Ming now held an extra page of golden seal script, which he had obtained from the twelve zodiac animal statues.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a thick pile of jade slips and books appeared on the ground, forming a small mountain.
Upon seeing this, the Devouring Rat felt a sense of foreboding rising in its heart.

I feel like this sixth-grade spirit wine wasn't drunk for nothing.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Qin Ming said calmly, "I don't have time to spend a lot of time studying the contents of this page of the demon race's golden seal script. There are records about 'blood-corrosion script' in these materials."

"Next, I'll give you a task: to learn these blood-corrosion scripts and translate all the contents recorded on this golden seal page for me."

"As a demon beast who practices ancient demon script, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

The Devouring Rat reached out its little hand and took the pages. Looking at the books, jade slips, and documents scattered on the ground, how could it dare to refuse the task assigned by Qin Ming?

Immediately, it revealed a smile that was even uglier than a grimace:
"Hehe! Master, rest assured, leave this matter to me. I can't drink your celestial wine for nothing."

Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction, after all, he could sense that the contents recorded on this golden seal script page were definitely extraordinary.

Otherwise, the demon race would not have gone to such lengths to join forces with the underworld and the demon race to stir up trouble in the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss.

It almost triggered a catastrophe involving alien races.

The contents of this golden seal script page must be related to a very important and top-secret matter within the demon race, which is why they have gone to such great lengths.

In addition, when Daoist Lu Yun left Xiaogui Peak not long ago, he also mentioned that he was going to the demon race to do business. I wonder if it is related to this matter.

After all, there are probably not many things in the spirit world that can get such important people to take notice.

However, Qin Ming was reluctant to interfere because it was someone else's private matter.

After instructing the Devouring Sky Rat, Qin Ming returned to his cave to continue cultivating the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique" and refining the Yuanji Divine Mountain, inscribing restrictive runes into it.

I will also take the opportunity to study and research the "Empty Spirit Cultivation Technique" left behind by Su Yuqing.

He discovered that although the pill seeds were incredibly profound, they also had some limitations. For example, a cultivator could only plant a maximum of three pill seeds in the upper, middle, and lower dantian.

Next, Qin Ming immersed himself in a period of arduous training.

As for Little Turtle Peak, and the spiritual herbs and plants inside and outside Little Spirit Realm, they are taken care of by Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling'er, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

The Devouring Rat stared at the page of golden seal script, which was covered with tens of thousands of densely packed blood-corroded characters.

He glanced again at the pile of documents on the ground, which was about the size of a small hill, and suddenly felt the pain in his head intensify.
……

Some more time passed.

On Little Turtle Peak.

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

The Devouring Rat was holding a pile of books, lying on the stone table in the pavilion, holding a calligraphy brush in its hand, licking it, and then writing something on a piece of white paper.

Its little mouth had long since turned pitch black.
"What kind of race?"

"And what history?"

The Devouring Rat painstakingly studied the text for a long time, but only managed to decipher a few characters. Frustrated, it slammed its brush to the ground and sighed to the heavens:
"Ugh! This is so difficult!"

"Why does Master make me study all this? It's even more tiring than farming!"

at this time.

Its ears suddenly twitched, sensing that outside the spiritual land, a silver magic ship from Tianxing City was approaching in a streak of light and docked outside the main peak.

Followed by.

Two streaks of light burst forth from the French warship, revealing two golden-armored Star Guard elders.

It was Elder Lin from the Zhitian Palace, and Yu Hanzi.

They must have something to discuss with Qin Ming.

Seeing this, the Devouring Rat was just about to inform Qin Ming of the matter when he saw Qin Ming appear out of thin air outside the cave.

Qin Ming was also a little puzzled. Why did these two elders from Tianxing City have the time to travel all the way to his Little Turtle Peak today?
'Could it be that they've really come to investigate whether Su Yuqing has actually defected to them?'

"Welcome, elders. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please come in and have a seat."

Qin Ming went out to greet them, a faint smile on his face, and cupped his hands in greeting.

Elder Lin returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need for you to trouble yourself. We two have other matters to attend to. We are passing by Little Turtle Peak because the Grand Commander wishes to see you, and we have come to convey his message."

"Does the Commander-in-Chief wish to summon me, Li?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming asked with some surprise, "Is there something important that you need?"

Elder Lin and Yu Hanzi exchanged glances, seemingly having something difficult to say. "Well, once Fellow Daoist Li arrives in Tianxing City, he should know the specifics. We shouldn't reveal it beforehand, lest the Grand Commander be displeased."

"Since it's the Commander-in-Chief's order, then I, Li, will make the trip," Qin Ming agreed.

Subsequently.

After exchanging pleasantries with Qin Ming, the two hurriedly took their leave.

After a moment's thought, Qin Ming immediately took the Devouring Sky Rat and flew towards Tianxing City.

Half a day later.

He used the array outside the immortal city to enter the inner city.

The Wall of Life, which was originally in ruins on the outskirts of Tianxing City, has been restored.

Countless cultivators were also working on the outskirts to repair the damage left by the great battle.

Qin Ming did not rush to the Starshine Temple immediately, but instead made his way through the inner city to the cave dwelling area.

He planned to visit Diaoyunsou first.

After half a stick of incense.

After entering this area, Qin Ming arrived at the cave dwelling of the Old Man of Fishing Clouds and met him.

After a period of recovery and recuperation, Diaoyun Sou's complexion has improved considerably.

The old man who fishes in the clouds invited Qin Ming to his cave dwelling, then served him spiritual tea, and the two chatted for a while.

"Alas! I'm truly lucky to be alive this time!"

"I almost didn't make it back." "I also have to thank Senior Qin for the medicine; otherwise, my injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly."

Even now, when Diaoyunsou recalls the meat grinder-like war between alien races in the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss, he still feels lingering fear.

"It's wonderful that Fellow Daoist Diaoyun has returned safely. I believe that those who survive such a calamity are destined for good fortune. We are from the same place, so there's no need to be so polite," Qin Ming said, taking a sip of tea.

After all, the other party was really unlucky.

If I hadn't killed that demon general, Tu Luo, this battle might not have ended by now.

Otherwise, the old man fishing in the clouds might not have been able to return.

Subsequently.

During their conversation, Qin Ming also mentioned to him that Su Yuqing had been accepted as a disciple by Daoist Lu Yun.

After all, they were all cultivators from the mortal realm, and they had a good relationship with each other, so they should at least be informed of their whereabouts.

"What?! Fellow Daoist Su has been accepted as a disciple by a powerful figure in the Spirit Realm?"

Upon hearing this news, Diaoyun Sou was stunned and could not believe it.

My heart is filled with both envy and heartfelt blessings.

"Fellow Daoist Su has exceptional talent in alchemy. It was only a matter of time before he reached this point."

"Who knows, the next time I see him, I might have to call him 'senior' again."

He was also filled with emotion. Now that Qin Ming had become a Void Refining God, Su Yuqing had found a good place to go and no longer needed to serve in the military.

Qin Ming said, "That's not necessarily true. Fellow Daoist Diaoyunsou, with your current cultivation level at the late Nascent Soul stage, still has a chance to break through to the Void Refinement stage."

The old man who fishes in the clouds waved his hand, "It's difficult! Without great merit, it's impossible to obtain the Yin-Yang Returning to Emptiness Pill."

"Not to mention that treasure that can ward off calamity."

Then he asked, "By the way, Senior Qin, what important business brings you to the city? You didn't come here just to visit me, did you?"

"Hehe! It's because the Grand Commander summoned me, and I just happened to stop by to see you." Qin Ming smiled slightly and told the truth without hiding anything.

But instead of being angry, the old man who fished for clouds seemed to remember something and hesitated, saying, "I know Senior Qin, and he has a good relationship with the Grand Commander now, but..."

"I can more or less guess why the President is looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Oh? Fellow Daoist Diaoyun Sou, could you tell me more?"

"Hehe! This matter will most likely be resolved by asking Senior Qin to step in and act as a peacemaker," the old man fishing in the clouds suddenly blurted out.

Qin Ming was even more puzzled, "You want me to be the peacemaker?"

"That's right, Senior Qin, you may not know this, but after the great battle of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, the allied forces of the human race and several other alien races ultimately emerged victorious."

"But in the midst of the great war, all races suffered losses."

"Therefore, after the war, there were huge disagreements on the allocation of resources and the division of areas in the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss."

"Especially with the Wood Crystal Clan, it's said that the two sides almost fell out, and the negotiations reached a stalemate."

"Isn't Senior Qin on good terms with Senior Feng of the Wood Crystal Clan and the elders of several other clans? Therefore, the Grand Commander probably wants you to mediate."

After hearing what he said, Qin Ming immediately realized, "I see. However, even though I have a good relationship with the Mu Jing Clan, I'm afraid I can't help you with the issue of dividing the profits."

He also knew that playing the peacemaker in this kind of job might end up pleasing neither side.

"This old man is only guessing. I will only know the specifics after meeting with the Grand Commander," said the old man stroking his beard slowly.

Qin Ming nodded.

Subsequently.

He rested for half a day at the Fishing Cloud Elder's place before setting off for the Starshine Temple in the core area.

Qin Ming passed through the teleportation array in the teleportation hall.

Before long, they arrived at the Starlight Temple, which was located above the clouds.

The silver-armored star guards stationed there, upon seeing that it was the Refining Void Divine Lord, treated him with utmost respect and welcomed him into the hall.

In the main hall.

Magnificent and resplendent, sparkling with starlight.

The Purple Star Divine Lord, clad in a purple-gold holy armor, sat on a gilded throne, browsing through a jade slip in his hand.

He exuded an unparalleled aura of dominance.

Qin Ming had also heard about Zi Chen Shenjun's feat of fighting a demon general and Che Laogui alone without being at a disadvantage.

It is conceivable how powerful and terrifying the opponent's cultivation and supernatural abilities are.

Upon seeing Qin Ming arrive, the Purple Star Divine Lord immediately put down the jade slip in his hand, revealed a smile, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Li has arrived. Please take a seat."

Qin Ming bowed respectfully, casually found a chair to sit down, and seeing that there was no one else in the entire hall besides the two of them, he immediately cut to the chase and asked:
"May I ask what urgent matter the Commander-in-Chief has with me, Li?"

Although he had just learned some information from Diaoyunsou, he still needed to confirm it personally before he could know for sure.

Immediately.

Zi Chen Divine Lord didn't beat around the bush and replied directly: "It's like this, I've heard that young friend Li has a rather good relationship with Old Monster Feng of the Wood Crystal Clan."

"One month from now, several alien races that were previously allied with our human race will discuss the specific division of territory in the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss. I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Li to go and participate in the negotiations as the representative of the human race delegation."

"This conflict and war have just ended, and I do not wish to see the flames of war reignited over the distribution of post-war gains."

"I don't expect to get more spiritual land, but at least I can keep the original territory of the human race in the Yellow Spring Devouring Abyss."

"I have also negotiated with Old Monster Feng and the others, but they are all stubborn mules and won't listen to me at all."

"It almost escalated to the point of physical violence again."

"This is a matter of necessity, which is why I have no choice but to trouble Fellow Daoist Li to step in and mediate."

"Whether you succeed or not, I can grant you 20,000 contribution points and let you choose any item you like from the Tianxing City Treasury."

"What does Fellow Daoist Li think?"

Qin Ming heard him say this and promised a generous reward, but he did not immediately agree.

Instead, he frowned and said, "Commander, since this concerns the redistribution of resources among the various races, to be honest, even though I'm quite familiar with Elder Feng and the others, they might not be willing to give me face."

"I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the Commander-in-Chief's kindness."

There was already a hint of rejection in his words.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Star Divine Lord seemed to have anticipated it, and thus said:

“What Fellow Daoist Li said makes a lot of sense. However, in this round of negotiations, other elders will discuss the specific details. Fellow Daoist Li’s participation is mainly to ease the tense atmosphere between the parties.”

"After all, the previous negotiations over these matters had become somewhat tense, and Old Monster Feng even had a big argument with me, ending on bad terms."

"If I go there again, I'm afraid I'll really have to fight him."

"On behalf of the main city of the human race, I hereby appoint you as the 'Peace Ambassador' of the human cultivation world, leading the delegation to handle this matter with full authority. If we can successfully reach an agreement, that would be the best outcome. Consider it a favor I owe you. Fellow Daoist Li has made outstanding contributions to the human race and will surely be remembered in the annals of the human race in the Spirit Realm."

Qin Ming sighed inwardly. It seemed he had been drafted again and it was no longer easy to refuse the commander-in-chief.

With a forced smile, he stated his conditions: "There's no need for me to be remembered in history, but I am quite interested in the formula for the 'Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill'."

Zi Chen Divine Lord was slightly surprised, after all, this Nine Revolutions Enlightenment Pill was a pill for the mid-stage of Void Refinement, and Qin Ming had only recently broken through to Void Refinement, so he didn't need this pill.

However, considering his status as a sixth-level alchemy master, it is understandable.

It is estimated that they wanted to study this elixir formula in advance.

In the Spirit Realm, pill formulas that can enhance one's progress to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm are considered strategic resources by the major clans and are rarely circulated outside the realm.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that Qin Ming was now a guest elder of the Immortal City, so he nodded in agreement.

“Yes, if this matter can be accomplished smoothly, then the pill formula can be given to Fellow Daoist Li.”

Qin Ming immediately accepted the task without further hesitation.

He usually boasted that wherever he went, he could bring peace to the local cultivation community.

But to everyone's surprise, this time he was actually going to serve as the human race's 'Peace Ambassador'.
Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat within the Little Spirit Realm couldn't help but cover its mouth and chuckle, "Master, from now on you truly deserve the title of 'Peace Ambassador' of the cultivation world, hehehe!"

Qin Ming's face darkened, and he transmitted his voice to it, "I think you're itching for a beating again, aren't you?"
