Chapter 717 - 561: Divine Crystal Fruit and Ancient Lamp

After the meeting.Cold Crow Ascendant approached Qin Ming alone and said secretly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, why did you so readily take on this troublesome task?"

"Surely, you must have some assurance, right?"

Qin Ming glanced at him and said, "What assurance could I have? It’s not like I had a choice. If I didn’t take on this task, probably no one else would have gone."

"Ah? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I saw your calm demeanor and thought you had some brilliant strategy to ensure victory; that’s why I volunteered to undertake the mission with you," Cold Crow Ascendant sighed heavily and regretted it immensely.

Then, he muttered to himself quietly, "I wonder if it’s still possible to ask the Grand Alliance Leader for a task change at this point..."

Qin Ming patted his shoulder, "Fellow Daoist Cold Crow, if you choose to withdraw, I can certainly understand. After all, with the huge legacy of Xuanqing Temple behind you, with countless disciples and descendants, if something happens to you, wouldn’t the sect decline?"

"Forget it, forget it. It seems I’ve had bad luck, taking on such a dangerous task voluntarily." Cold Crow Ascendant waved his hand dismissively.

Then he cast an isolation barrier in the room, put on a slight smile, and asked Qin Ming:

"Heh heh! So... I heard from Fellow Daoist Su that Elder Lu provided alchemy materials and asked Fellow Daoist Qin to refine a Tier Five Longevity Spirit Pill, is that true?"

Qin Ming was taken aback at first, not expecting him to have such well-informed news.

It happened that he wanted to probe Cold Crow Ascendant’s bottom line, so he said, "That’s right, I indeed helped Elder Lu successfully refine a batch of Mysterious Pills."

Cold Crow Ascendant was overjoyed upon hearing this!

What he lacked the most at this moment was lifespan.

At the same time, he was full of admiration and lamentation at Qin Ming’s breakthrough to the realm of a Tier Five Pill Saint...

In tens of thousands of years, such figures appear only occasionally!

"Then I must congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin on achieving the stature of a Tier Five Pill Saint!"

He immediately lowered his voice and said to Qin Ming, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin has any spare Mysterious Pills. I’m willing to trade treasures with you."

Qin Ming appeared extremely calm on the surface but thought to himself: As expected, this guy has goods in his hands.

However, he did not immediately agree with Cold Crow Ascendant, deliberately sighing, "Alas! Fellow Daoist Cold Crow, you may not know this, but such Tier Five Longevity Spirit Pills are incredibly difficult to refine. The spiritual materials used in alchemy require the Demon Pill of a Tier Five Demon Venerable as the main ingredient..."

"That’s why I barely managed to refine one pill, which I have already given to Elder Lu."

"Hiss! A Tier Five Demon Venerable’s Demon Pill..." Cold Crow Ascendant couldn’t help but inhale sharply upon hearing this.

Although he had anticipated it, he didn’t expect it to require a Tier Five Demon Venerable’s Demon Pill as the main ingredient, which is comparable to the existence of a Venerable Divinity Transformation.

However, when he heard that Qin Ming only refined one, he was clearly skeptical.

Cold Crow Ascendant had been dealing with Qin Ming for many years and was well aware of Qin Ming’s mastery in Alchemy Dao.

Moreover, Qin Ming specifically mentioned the main ingredient being a Tier Five Demon Pill, so it seemed that if he didn’t bring out something substantial this time, it wouldn’t suffice!

Qin Ming maintained an extremely calm demeanor, waiting for Cold Crow Ascendant’s response.

Cold Crow Ascendant gritted his teeth, then said very reluctantly, "With Fellow Daoist Qin’s level, how could you have refined only one?"

"I’m willing to exchange with a ten-thousand-year Divine Crystal Fruit and a Tier Five ’Crystal Thought Pill’ Pill Formula. What does Fellow Daoist Qin think?"

Good heavens! Cold Crow Ascendant indeed has good treasures.

Upon hearing about the Tier Five Divine Crystal Fruit and Crystal Thought Pill, even Qin Ming almost couldn’t sit still.

As an experienced Tier Five Pill Saint, he naturally knew the usefulness of the Divine Crystal Fruit.

A Tier Five Divine Crystal Fruit, even when consumed raw, can substantially enhance a cultivator’s Divine Soul Power and has the powerful effect of aiding Divine Thought Crystalization.

This item was said to be extremely rare and precious even in Ancient Times.

And the Crystal Thought Pill is refined using this fruit along with other main ingredients, and it’s said that it can greatly strengthen even the Primordial Spirit of a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator... which makes it incredibly precious.

However, to consume the Divine Crystal Fruit and Crystal Thought Pill, one’s cultivation level must be at least Late-stage Nascent Soul, to begin with.

If one’s realm is insufficient and forcibly consumed, one will not withstand the pain of Divine Soul fracture, which is highly dangerous.

Qin Ming secretly lamented, having casually extracted such good things with just a probe.

Cold Crow Ascendant must have obtained a great opportunity at Primordial Extreme Mountain too.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to acquire both the main material and the pill formula simultaneously.

"Ahem! Since Fellow Daoist Cold Crow is full of sincerity, I cannot decline." Qin Ming lightly coughed, then took out a delicate jade bottle from his storage pouch.

He then handed it over and explained, "Originally, this Mysterious Pill was meant for my own use, but thinking about how Fellow Daoist Cold Crow needs it more than I do, I have to reluctantly part with it."

Cold Crow Ascendant, with slightly trembling hands, accepted the pill, feeling a bit emotional.

He originally had little lifespan left, and after luckily breaking through to Mid-stage Nascent Soul, gained over two hundred more years of lifespan.

Now, this legendary Tier Five Longevity Spirit Pill can increase lifespan by five hundred years. How could this not excite him?

He opened the jade bottle, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out, revealing an astonishing Spirit Pill imbued with spiritual energy lying inside.

"Mysterious Pill..."

Cold Crow Ascendant hurriedly kept the Spirit Pill safe, then quickly retrieved a jade box and a scroll of the pill formula from his storage pouch, handing them to Qin Ming, followed by a reminder:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, within this is the ten-thousand-year Tier Five Divine Crystal Fruit and Crystal Thought Pill formula. Please don’t mention that it was exchanged with me..."

"Naturally, you can rest assured." Qin Ming also felt a slight joy, then opened the jade box to see a blue fruit the size of an egg radiating a unique spirit essence, just looking at it invigorated one’s spirit.

Secondly, there was that Tier Five Pill Formula, with the signature of Litian Celestial Daoist Palace on it.

Unexpectedly, Cold Crow Ascendant had even sneaked into Litian Celestial Daoist Palace.

No wonder he had so many treasures in his hands.

After the transaction.

Qin Ming bid farewell to several fellow Daoists and, together with True Monarch Cangwu, followed the secret voice transmission from Supreme Yang to the treasure vault of the Grand Alliance.

Supreme Yang personally led the two into it.

"Fellow Daoists, within the time of one incense stick, you may freely choose an artifact to take away."

The two were also stunned by the scene before them, truly a treasure vault forged with the power of the entire Cultivation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, let’s each take what we need." True Monarch Cangwu chatted briefly with Qin Ming before going to check the rows of shelves.

Qin Ming also started browsing the treasure vault on his own.

Although Supreme Yang agreed to give the two a chance to obtain treasures, it was not without limits.

With only a short time of one incense stick, a decision had to be made.

However, Qin Ming never worried about treasure hunting affairs.

He let the Heaven-Devouring Rat take a spin around the vault, and it pointed to a rusty ancient lamp, saying:

"Master, this is a great treasure, probably the best in this vault."

Qin Ming picked up the ancient lamp in his hand and examined it for a while, asking uncertainly: "Are you sure there’s no mistake? It looks like junk to me."

"It’s true, trust me, but I can’t quite explain it," the Heaven-Devouring Rat scratched its head and said.

Qin Ming nodded, tossing it back into the Little Spirit Realm, saying, "If it’s true, you’ll earn great merit."

He naturally trusted the bloodline talent of the Heaven-Devouring Rat and planned to take it back for further study.

A while later.

The two walked out with the treasures they had obtained.

When Supreme Yang saw the ancient lamp in Qin Ming’s hand, he couldn’t help but say, "I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Qin would choose this item."

"Why? Is there something wrong with it?" Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask.

"Not exactly, but such an item may require further study by Fellow Daoist Qin," Supreme Yang explained, "This item was also brought out by other fellow Daoists who survived Primordial Extreme Mountain."

Hearing Supreme Yang’s words, he became even more convinced of the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s judgment.

Being from Primordial Extreme Mountain, it seemed like a good treasure.

Later.

After gathering with several fellow Daoists, Qin Ming prepared to return to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

...

On the other side.

In the Yin Demon Sect of the Great Li Cultivation Realm.

Several figures with terrifying cultivation auras were discussing matters in the main hall.

One of them, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with black hair draped over his shoulders, had no trace of Demonic Qi on him, and had two pairs of pitch-black Demon Horns on his forehead, first spoke: "I didn’t expect the losses for this Descent Realm to be so severe."

"Not only did our Sect’s Holy Son and Saintess fall, but even the once brilliant Elder Celestial Hatred fell within Primordial Extreme Mountain. In any case, I must demand an explanation."

"Fellow Daoist Rock Demon, since you were from Primordial Extreme Mountain, can you tell us the cause and effect?"

The Ancient Demon who had escaped from Primordial Extreme Mountain flashed a wicked smile, scratching his head, "I was following Master Saint Ancestor’s orders in Luotian Hall, preparing to battle the Human Race’s Divinity Transformation, but was unexpectedly transmitted out by a Restriction."

At this moment.

A nearby monk, with a fat head and large ears covered in ferocious demon tattoos, whose cultivation was clearly at the Divinity Transformation Stage, wearing the unique robe of Infinite Mountain, interjected with a smiling face:

"Fellow Daoist Rock Demon, think carefully, was there anyone else other than that Human Race Divinity Transformation in Luotian Hall at the time? Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Blood Prison from the Blood Refining Demon Sect might not be able to swallow this grievance."

"What if during the two-world war, he puts in no effort?"

Unmoved by the words, Rock Demon just furrowed his brow and recalled, "At the time, there were indeed two Nascent Soul Stage Human Race cultivators who infiltrated the inside of Luotian Hall, one even found the core inheritance."

"However, my attention was all on that Human Race Divinity Transformation, didn’t pay much attention to those two ants."

The Blood Prison Demon Venerable with black hair draped over his shoulders, a bloody gleam in his red pupils, murmured, "If encountered on the battlefield again, can you sense him, fellow Daoist?"

"It must have been this person who accomplished it, even capable of removing our Sect’s Blood Ring Curse Seal... I want to personally Soul Search him to see how a mere Human Race cultivator managed it."

The towering giant Rock Demon calmly replied: "Of course."

At this moment.

A green-robed Daoist sitting silently by the side, with an immortal demeanor, a Divinity Transformation Ancestor of Longevity Temple, interjected:

"Blood Prison old ghost, don’t be in such a hurry for revenge. I’ve heard the Human Realm has already started deploying battle plans, better think about winning this war first."

"Fellow Daoist Rock Demon, is there any possibility to release Master Saint Ancestor within Primordial Extreme Mountain?"
