Chapter 759 A Small Gathering for Exchange, Dragon's Saliva Agarwood

More than half a month passed.

Inside Baowufang Market.

The negotiations between the various races of the Human Alliance have finally concluded, with all agreements signed and the post-war interests divided.

Elder Lin walked out of the council hall with a ruddy complexion, looking incredibly refreshed.

The final peace negotiations among the various tribes have finally come to a close, and everything has settled down.

Humanity got what it wanted.

Although some concessions were made in certain areas, this is the best possible outcome given the current situation.

The negotiations went so smoothly that they even yielded some results in ethnic diplomacy.

It's all thanks to Qin Ming, the human race's 'peace ambassador' appointed by the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Armor.

If it weren't for Qin Ming's intervention and mediation, using unbelievable methods to persuade the elders of several clans to sit down and negotiate peacefully, it would have been for his intervention.

It's unclear how long this post-war turmoil will continue.

Elder Lin, Yu Hanzi, and the others immediately relayed this good news to Qin Ming, who was resting at the inn.

"Fellow Daoist Li! The success of this negotiation is entirely thanks to you! Hahaha!"

"When I return, I will certainly report this truthfully to the President and highlight your outstanding achievements."

"Now that things are settled, shall we set off immediately to return to Tianxing City and report back? What does Fellow Daoist Li think?"

Elder Lin also said.

Qin Ming only pondered for a moment before saying calmly, "Elder Lin and his men will take their leave first. I have some personal matters to attend to and will return on my own after some time."

He planned to capture a few demon cultivators to learn more about the situation based on the information he had obtained from Yao Chenzi.

After all, even a powerful demon clan expert at the Integration Stage had personally taken action, so Qin Ming had to be extremely careful.

We need to learn more things.

We also need to find out about that gold-lettered page as soon as possible.

"Oh? What urgent matter brings you, Fellow Daoist Li? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Don't stand on ceremony with me, just say what you need to say."

Elder Lin was surprised to hear that Qin Ming would not return to Tianxing City with them.

"It's nothing, I just happened to run into some things. I'll return to Kunlun Domain after I've dealt with them." Qin Ming didn't offer any further explanation.

Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal more, Elder Lin did not press him further.

Now, Qin Ming's status and position are such that even he, an elder of the Zhitian Palace, has to show him respect.

Back then, the cultivator who listened to his sermon in the Dao Discussion Square had already subtly surpassed him.

It felt like a dream.

"Since Fellow Daoist Li has important matters to attend to, let's meet again in Tianxing City after you return."

"Definitely, definitely," Qin Ming replied politely.

The two finished their conversation.

Elder Lin then summoned the human delegation, boarded the magic ship of Tianxing City, and departed.

……

After the negotiation meeting concluded.

The other foreign delegations also began to withdraw from Baowu Market.

Before leaving, Qin Ming had another small gathering with Elder Fengqi and the others.

"The negotiations went so smoothly thanks to Fellow Daoist Li! Hahaha! I'll toast you!" Elder Fengqi said, his face beaming.

It seems that their Wood Crystal Clan gained vested interests in the distribution of battle spoils, thus making up for the losses on the battlefield.

He had finally settled one matter.

Back then, Elder Fengqi almost came to blows with Divine Lord Zichen.

"Young friend Li, we would also like to offer you a toast. We never expected that so little time has passed and we would have to call you fellow Daoist."

"To have achieved the Void Refinement Realm at such a young age, your cultivation, composure, and fortune are truly remarkable. You will undoubtedly become a leading figure among the human race in the future. Congratulations!"

Xuan Yu Shenjun and Lie Huo Laoguai were also filled with sighs and emotions.

Back when they passed by Little Turtle Peak and went to visit this 'Young Friend Li', he was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

In the blink of an eye.

Now that the conflict between the alien races has just ended, the other side has transformed into an existence at the same level as them.

Qin Ming also raised his cup, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. My meager cultivation is far inferior to that of the elders in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm."

"Alas! That's not quite right! I've heard that Fellow Daoist Li has already advanced to the sixth-order Spirit Plant Master and the sixth-order Alchemy Master. His future path to immortality is probably limitless, and it's not impossible for him to surpass us old folks." Elder Feng said with a smile, his words carrying a profound meaning.

Next, the group began to clink glasses and exchange toasts.

The four alien elders, who had previously accepted Qin Ming's sixth-tier Void Heaven Moon Invitation Wine, had now finished dealing with their most important matters and were beginning to reciprocate.

Elder Feng spoke first: "It is truly a pity that we old fellows were unable to attend Young Friend Li's Void Refinement Ceremony."

"Here is a small gift from this old man: three drops of ten-thousand-year-old Earth Core Jade Marrow, as a congratulations to young friend Li for achieving the Void Refinement Realm and taking another step forward on the path of immortality."

After saying that, he took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it over.

Qin Ming smiled slightly and accepted the item without hesitation. It was one of the key auxiliary materials for refining the Nine Revolutions Enlightenment Pill.

After returning, he gathered all the necessary materials and began to try cultivating the Void God Pill Planting Technique.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that you, Old Monster Feng, would actually be willing to take out even a sixth-grade top-quality Earth Core Jade Marrow this time."

"Last time I offered you all sorts of spiritual items in exchange, but you refused, hiding them away like precious treasures. I never expected you would actually be willing to give them away," the old monster of the Earth Spirit Clan, stroking his beard, teased.

Elder Fengqi, however, was unimpressed and scoffed, "Back then, you were only willing to offer a few pieces of sixth-grade high-quality wind crystal ore. Who would have been willing to trade with you for that?"

"How can your meager possessions compare to Fellow Daoist Li's top-grade sixth-rank spirit wine?"

The Fiery Old Monster snorted and immediately took out his own gift, a pitch-black stone box.

Qin Ming's gaze fell on the box. Just by looking at the box itself, it seemed to be made of some kind of spirit ore of the sixth rank or above, and there was a faint, unique fragrance of agarwood emanating from it.

This immediately jolted everyone present in their tracks!
He gently opened the seal, and saw a three-inch-long piece of jet-black wood lying inside, simple and unadorned, yet exuding an astonishing spiritual energy.

"Hehe! This piece of sixth-grade top-quality dragon saliva agarwood was buried deep within the thick layers of soil and rock, formed over at least 100,000 years. It can not only be used to refine weapons and enhance treasures, but also to refine pills, make incense, improve one's Void Refinement cultivation, and strengthen one's soul. I'm giving it to you, young friend Li, to congratulate you on breaking through to the Void Refinement realm and acquiring two sixth-grade divine skills." When the Fiery Old Monster presented this item, he deliberately raised his voice considerably.

And it is described in great detail to highlight the preciousness and rarity of this item.

Such a large piece of sixth-grade agarwood is probably hard to find even in the spirit world.

The other old monsters all looked incredulous when they saw that the Fiery Old Monster had actually taken out this item as a gift.

Clearly, the value of this piece of divine wood is immeasurable, and even great cultivators like them are extremely covetous of it.

Xuan Yu Divine Lord couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Old Ghost Lie Huo, your Earth Spirit Clan really has abundant resources! I never expected you could even unearth sixth-tier Dragon Saliva Agarwood!"

"Even so, you still fought us for a little territory in the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, and we almost got really angry."

"What do you know, you old monster Xuanyu? I only have one piece of this Dragon Saliva Agarwood. It's not like I can dig it up every day."

"If that's the case, I won't compete with you for the post-war benefits."

Qin Ming was overjoyed, never expecting that the Fiery Old Monster of the Earth Spirit Clan would be so generous and magnanimous.

For him, this was simply the icing on the cake.

"Then I thank Fellow Daoist Liehuo for his kindness." After saying that, he quickly put the things away.

However, since the other party had offered such a valuable gift, almost as precious as his sixth-tier Void Heaven Moon Invitation Elixir, Qin Ming observed the expression on Old Ghost Fiery's face. It seemed that he wanted something, so he asked, "Fellow Daoist Fiery, is there anything else you need?"

Upon hearing this, the other three old monsters immediately understood.

It turns out that the old ghost of Fiery Flame didn't send such a generous gift without any ulterior motive; he clearly had a purpose in mind.

The old ghost of raging fire laughed heartily without any attempt to hide his true feelings: "Hehe! I heard that Fellow Daoist Li has cultivated a sixth-order Dao Soldier Spirit Bean. I am quite interested in this thing, so I would like to shamelessly ask you to buy a few from me."

"Well, I was wondering why you, you old scoundrel Liehuo, were suddenly being so kind, actually giving away Dragon Saliva Agarwood. So that's what you were waiting for, young friend Li." Elder Fengqi pointed at Old Ghost Liehuo.

"Even I haven't said a word yet."

These people had naturally heard about the attack on Little Turtle Peak by a Void Refinement stage demon during the previous conflict between the alien races.

Qin Ming, with just a flick of his wrist, conjured soldiers from beans, and annihilated the Void Refinement stage demons, along with thousands of other demons.

These miraculous deeds spread throughout the surrounding cultivation world at the time.

Therefore, they all knew some things, more or less.

And one can imagine just how powerful the sixth-order Dao Soldier Spirit Bean cultivated here is.

Even if they personally went to kill a demon in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, it would be difficult to completely eliminate him without using their most powerful methods.

What they didn't know was that cultivating sixth-order Dao Soldier Spirit Beans required a special secret technique to infuse the plant master's own cultivation power.

The power of the Dao Bing Spirit Bean when it matures is closely related to the strength of the spirit plant master, and varies from person to person.

The power of Dao Soldier Spirit Beans grown by ordinary sixth-tier Spirit Plant Masters would never be as outrageous as Qin Ming's.

It's at most equivalent to a low-grade sixth-tier puppet.

The sixth-order Dao Soldier Spirit Bean that Qin Ming cultivated possessed one-tenth of his Demon Infant Body Refinement cultivation, so its power was unimaginable.

Ever since.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming pondered for a moment.

He reached out and flipped his hand, revealing a jade box containing a spirit bean with six Dao patterns.

The moment the sixth-tier Dao Soldier Spirit Bean appeared.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and they all expressed their admiration.

"So this is the legendary combat-type spirit plant. The creations of the Great Dao are indeed incredibly wondrous, capable of evolving cultivators' supernatural abilities and condensing them into a single spirit bean."

Qin Ming flicked his finger and sent it to the Fiery Old Monster, saying, "I only managed to grow two sixth-level spirit beans before, one of which has already been used."

"Right now, I only have this one left."

"The remaining spirit beans have been replanted, but they will need to be cultivated for quite some time before they mature."

Upon hearing this, the other old monsters were filled with regret.

The old ghost of raging fire accepted the jade box with great joy: "Then I thank you very much, young friend Li, for your kindness. I am already extremely satisfied to have obtained a spirit bean for research."

"I wonder what conditions Young Friend Li would like to offer in exchange for this sixth-order spirit bean? Just name your price."

After a moment's thought, Qin Ming decided that his next steps would be to refine the Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill and the seeds for the Nine-Turn Tribulation Pill.

Immediately, he listed the required core materials.

"Void Elemental Flower, Myriad Tribulations Heart-to-Heart Insect, Tribulation Lightning Wood Heart. Any one of these spiritual items will do."

However, the old monsters on the other side looked at each other in bewilderment.

After listening, the old ghost of raging fire hesitated for a few moments before awkwardly saying, "Young friend Li, I don't have any of the spiritual items you mentioned. May I ask if we can change the terms?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Ming's face.

He hadn't expected that the main ingredients needed to refine these two pills would be so hard to find.

Even the powerful elders of the alien races were not included.

"In that case, converting it into Immortal Jade is acceptable." Qin Ming changed his terms.

Upon hearing this, the Fiery Old Monster was overjoyed!
Before Qin Ming could even speak, a bulging bag of spirit stones was placed directly on the ground.

Qin Ming glanced at the package briefly and exclaimed, "Good heavens, so many immortal jades! More than two hundred pieces!"

The Divine Lord Xuanyu, standing to the side, explained with a smile, "Young friend Li, there's no need to be surprised. Their Earth Spirit Clan is known as a race situated on a spirit mine, and their reserves of immortal jade even rank among the top hundred in the entire Spirit Realm."

Qin Ming nodded, immediately put away the spirit stone bag, and said to the Fiery Old Ghost, "Deal."

The old ghost of raging fire happily put away the Dao soldier spirit bean, making the others extremely envious.

Qin Ming never expected that his sixth-order spirit bean would be so popular.

Followed by.

The other two veterans also presented Qin Ming with congratulatory gifts and exchanged some resources.

Qin Ming spent several days with the group and humbly sought their advice on cultivation.

After all, these people in front of us are ancient monsters who have lived for countless years and have been able to safely survive several tribulations of the Void Refinement Realm and advance to the late stage. They must have extraordinary abilities.

During their exchange, the several alien monsters were quite generous with their words.

They all accepted Qin Ming's spirit wine. As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's gift is bound to be grateful," and they also answered many of Qin Ming's questions.

Qin Ming also benefited greatly and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"On another note, if you, young friend Li, are to seek guidance on cultivation, your human race's Divine Lord Zichen would be more suitable than us. After all, cultivation in the Void Refining Realm requires the primordial spirit to become ethereal and to experience nothingness, but there are still some differences."

"This guy, Zi Chen Divine Lord, not only has his cultivation reached the perfection of the Void Refinement stage, but his supernatural abilities are also incredibly sharp."

"Since he was able to get Young Friend Li to lead a delegation to negotiate, it means that your relationship with him must be quite good as well."

Elder Wind Rider said with a smile.

Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "As the Grand Commander of the Purple Gold Saint Armor of Tianxing City, Lord Zichen is extremely busy."

"He's too busy to even have time to discuss cultivation matters with me, Li."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.

After several days of exchanges and gatherings.

The elders of the various clans also had to return to handle the follow-up matters, so they bid farewell to Qin Ming and left.

A wave of spiritual wine diplomacy.

Qin Ming further strengthened his relationship with these renowned cultivators, bringing them closer together.

Who knows where these connections might come in handy in the future?

This peace negotiation between the various races is related to the interests of the human race.

If Qin Ming hadn't cultivated good relationships beforehand, getting to know Elder Fengqi and gaining considerable prestige within the Wood Crystal Clan...

The current postwar negotiations are bound to be fraught with bloodshed.

After all, Qin Ming was someone they had heard that the various clans planned to use a contest of magic to determine the division of spoils after the war.

Given the cultivation level of these human elders at the Void Refinement stage, unless Divine Lord Zichen personally intervenes, they would absolutely be no match for these alien races.

Moreover, as the supreme commander, it would be impossible for him to personally lower himself to participate in the magical duel.

"Alas! I have made another great contribution to the human race!"

"Once I get back, I must go to the Tianxing City Treasury and carefully select some treasures to make up for it."

"But before that, there is one more thing to do."

Qin Ming's eyes sharpened, and his figure blurred as he disappeared into Baowu Market.
