Chapter 795: Rising Fame

After hearing Qin Ming's question, Old Devil Qingyang stroked his beard with a hint of pride and explained without beating around the bush:

“To be honest, little friend Qin, this Seven Emotions Six Desires Tree is an extremely rare and wondrous spiritual root. Even in the Spirit Realm, it is almost never seen.”

“Don’t be fooled by its small size and mere sixth-tier low-grade rank. Once it matures, its growth potential is virtually limitless. It can even advance beyond the seventh tier... its prospects are boundless.”

“Speaking of which, when this old man was still alive, I was fortunate enough to obtain a Seven Emotions Six Desires Fruit.”

“A Seven Emotions Six Desires Fruit?” Qin Ming asked in surprise.

It was his first time hearing of such a peculiar spiritual fruit. Judging by its name alone, it almost sounded like some kind of poisonous fruit.

Recalling old memories, Old Devil Qingyang slowly nodded.

“That’s right. The Seven Emotions Six Desires Tree grows only at special convergence points between the impure mortal world and the pure qi of heaven and earth. For example, at the boundary between the ancestral dragon veins of a mortal kingdom and a flourishing Buddhist holy land... or in places where immense thought power gathers.”

“Furthermore, the nourishment required for its growth is highly unusual. It matures by absorbing the seven emotions and six desires of living beings. It bears only a single fruit every ten thousand years.”

“Little friend Qin, take a close look at that immature fruit. Do you see seven naturally formed Dao patterns flowing across its surface?”

Qin Ming focused his gaze and found that it was exactly as Old Devil Qingyang had described. Seven differently colored patterns—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—flowed across the fruit. Between them were six distinct rune-like points of light.

“The seven Dao patterns correspond to joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire. The six smaller runes correspond to form, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and dharma,” Old Devil Qingyang continued.

“Heh heh! As for the true value of the Seven Emotions Six Desires Fruit, that is where things become extraordinary.”

“For those with weak Dao hearts, it is a deadly poison.”

“But for special cultivators like little friend Qin, it is a rare treasure.”

“Its greatest value lies in tempering the Dao heart and allowing one to truly understand one’s own nature. Upon consumption, it immediately draws out the deepest seven emotions and six desires within a cultivator, creating an extremely realistic ‘Five Aggregates Illusion Realm.’ If one successfully overcomes it, the Dao heart becomes complete and unobstructed, thoughts flow freely, and one’s mental cultivation advances tremendously.”

“It is especially beneficial for late Void Refinement cultivators seeking to eliminate heart demons and mental barriers. It can even greatly assist in breaking through to the Integration Realm.”

“As for this tree before us, I suspect it would be difficult to find a second one in the entire Spirit Realm.”

“Back when I was traveling, I once encountered a mature Seven Emotions Six Desires Tree in the Heavenly Brahma Domain, one of the three great holy lands of the human race. A bunch of bald old monks treasured it like a sacred relic. I found a chance to steal and eat one of its fruits. The taste was truly excellent. Even now, I still remember it fondly. Jie jie jie!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming became greatly interested.

“It can temper the Dao heart, remove mental obstacles, clear one’s thoughts, and even help with breaking through to the Integration Realm... Old Ghost, does that mean this thing is an exceedingly rare opportunity for Integration?”

He was already familiar with the Heavenly Brahma Domain. The upcoming Little Mount Amitabha Dharma Assembly would be held there.

Master Shen Yin himself would be giving teachings.

“Heh heh! Little friend Qin is underestimating this tree. Any heaven-and-earth spiritual root treasured by upper-realm cultivators is bound to be extraordinary. Its ultimate potential goes far beyond that. Once you advance to the Integration Realm, it may still prove immensely useful.”

“The Integration Realm is far too distant. I only broke through to Void Refinement not long ago. I have no idea when I’ll even reach late Void Refinement,” Qin Ming replied.

Old Devil Qingyang dismissed the concern.

“Little friend Qin is too modest. With your immense fortune, reaching late Void Refinement is only a matter of time.”

Qin Ming said no more. His gaze swept across the three jade boxes, and he silently praised them in his heart.

“Excellent, excellent. Sooner or later, all of these treasures will be mine.”

He then turned his attention back to the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord to see what choice he would make.

After a long while, the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord finally said to Elder Tu’e:

“Daoist Tu, the items you have offered are indeed rare and valuable. In terms of worth, they are roughly equal to my talisman.”

“In that case, I shall choose the Empty Profound Spirit Ginseng and the Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine.”

“Consider it establishing a friendly relationship with the Flower Spirit Clan.”

“Many thanks for your generosity, Daoist Gu!” Elder Tu’e exclaimed in delight, repeatedly cupping his fists in gratitude.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord nodded slightly and waved his hand, collecting the two jade boxes.

Seeing this, Old Devil Qingyang secretly asked Qin Ming:

“Little friend Qin, are you really going to watch those two treasures fall into that fellow’s hands?”

“That guy is probably an incarnation cultivated by some old monster...”

Qin Ming was startled.

However, he quickly regained his composure and asked suspiciously:

“Old Ghost, are you certain? Gu Chang’an has indeed been somewhat unusual. I noticed some signs earlier myself, but I wasn’t completely sure.”

“After all, a seventh-tier talisman master that young is practically impossible. I didn’t expect him to be an incarnation... Can you tell how strong his true body is?”

Since Qin Ming himself was currently possessing Yin Lingzi’s body with his Demon Infant Primordial Spirit, he did not find such matters particularly strange.

“Hm. Based on what little friend Qin described earlier, when this kid Gu used that Spirit Descent Talisman, he displayed power comparable to the early Integration Realm. I’d estimate his true body is at least mid-Integration Realm, perhaps even higher.”

Hearing this, Qin Ming could not help but glance at the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord a few more times.

So this fellow was the real master of pretending to be weak.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord seemed to sense something. After happily storing away the two treasures, he turned and asked Qin Ming:

“What is it, Daoist Yin?”

“Is there a problem?”

Qin Ming smiled.

“Let’s talk after we return to Skystar City. I feel as though I met a kindred spirit in Daoist Gu. I have a business proposition for you beyond ordinary trade.”

The moment he heard that, goosebumps rose all over the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord’s body.

He had an inexplicable feeling that he was being targeted, though he could not pinpoint why.

All he could do was force a laugh.

“That may be possible.”

After all, he still had not received the Spirit-Summoning Demon Fruit Qin Ming had promised him.

Yet looking at Yin Lingzi’s expression, which seemed completely confident of success, he could not help feeling uneasy.

“Something’s not right. Ever since we left the immortal estate secret realm, this old fellow seems different... as though he’s already got me figured out.”

Since they were still inside the Flower Spirit Clan’s cave abode, neither wished to discuss details openly, so the matter was left there.

The transaction concluded.

Just as Elder Tu’e was about to put away the jade box containing the Seven Emotions Six Desires Tree, Qin Ming stopped him first.

“Please wait, Daoist Tu.”

“Oh? What is it, Daoist Yin? Have you taken a liking to this tree?” Elder Tu’e asked.

Qin Ming nodded.

“Indeed. I am quite interested in this sapling. After arriving in the Spirit Realm, your Flower Spirit Clan still lacks a place to settle, does it not?”

“I can introduce your clan to a suitable location. In exchange, I would like this tree.”

“After all, most Spirit Domains with development potential have already been occupied by various races. The Flower Spirit Clan has only recently escaped the insect race’s grasp. It would hardly be suitable for you to wage wars over territory.”

Elder Tu’e was immediately invigorated.

He had not expected such an unexpected opportunity.

“May I ask where this spiritual land is located, Daoist Yin? If this can truly be accomplished, what is a mere spiritual plant in comparison?”

“Heh heh! Easy enough. It lies at the border between our Kunlun Domain and neighboring foreign races,” Qin Ming replied meaningfully.

However, Elder Tu’e hesitated.

“This concerns the future of the entire Flower Spirit Clan. We must wait until our Saint Lord awakens and allow her to decide. What do you think, Daoist Yin?”

“That is acceptable,” Qin Ming replied.

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord said:

“Daoist Yin seems to have quite the connections. You dare arrange for a foreign race to settle near the border. Aren’t you worried the old fellows among the human race leadership will object?”

“Rest assured, Daoist Gu. Since I said it, I naturally have confidence.”

“Impressive,” the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord said with mild surprise.

Afterward, having already received payment, he wasted no time.

He directly took out his seventh-tier talisman, the Myriad Woods Rejuvenation Talisman, activated it with his magic power, and pointed it toward the unconscious Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss lying upon the stone bed.

Buzz—

The instant the talisman activated, a vast yet gentle emerald radiance erupted outward, enveloping the entire cave abode.

Within the green mist, towering ancient trees seemed to rise from the earth. Their lush branches swayed gently, scattering countless motes of life-filled light.

As the emerald lights continuously entered the Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss’ body, her previously exhausted and dying condition gradually regained vitality.

The life essence contained within the talisman was astonishing.

Eventually, it transformed into countless runes that entered her forehead.

The life-origin power within her body was rekindled, replenishing her dwindling lifespan.

When the talisman’s spiritual power was finally exhausted and dispersed into countless specks of light, Qin Ming clicked his tongue in amazement.

He had never imagined such a miraculous talisman existed.

Not only had it awakened the Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss, it had also granted her another eight hundred years of vitality.

Though eight hundred years was brief for the Flower Spirit Clan, it would at least buy time to seek further solutions.

Shortly afterward, the Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss slowly opened her eyes and awakened.

Though she had remained unconscious, her spiritual awareness had never faded.

She had been fully aware of everything occurring outside.

Originally, she had already given up hope, yet she had somehow returned from the gates of death.

Immediately, she sat upright and bowed to Qin Ming and the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord.

“Many thanks to the two young friends for saving me. Neither I nor the Flower Spirit Clan can adequately repay this favor. Consider it that we owe each of you a debt.”

Neither Qin Ming nor the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord dared act arrogantly before an Integration Realm expert.

They hurriedly returned the gesture.

“Senior Wanhua need not be so courteous. We merely obtained what we sought. Entering the immortal estate secret realm was always a gamble for opportunities. Being able to reach this agreement with Senior already makes the trip worthwhile.”

As the Saint Lord recovered some of her former elegance and dignity, her complexion improved considerably.

She nodded slowly, clearly pleased with their attitudes.

“From this day onward, the two of you are friends of the Flower Spirit Clan. You may simply call me Qingyi.”

“Understood, Senior Qingyi,” the two replied tactfully.

This was Qin Ming’s first time becoming acquainted with an Integration Realm powerhouse. Among all the connections he had cultivated, she was undoubtedly the strongest cultivator he had met.

Qingyi then turned her gaze toward Qin Ming.

Without another word, she flicked a slender finger.

The jade box containing the Seven Emotions Six Desires Tree floated gently before him.

“I heard earlier that Daoist Yin has connections that can secure a place for my clan to settle. Is that true?”

“A Spirit Domain near human territory is acceptable. If this matter succeeds, I shall reward you further.”

Qin Ming had not expected the Flower Spirit Clan’s Saint Lord to agree so readily.

Naturally, he did not stand on ceremony.

He immediately stored away the jade box.

After all, this was a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity related to Integration.

If he missed it, he might never find another.

Most likely, they did not even know what kind of treasure this nameless tree truly was.

Qin Ming naturally intended to seize the opportunity.

“Please rest assured, Senior Qingyi. That Spirit Domain is currently unoccupied. It lies just south of the spiritual territory belonging to a close friend of mine. The area is a vast wilderness.”

“Though some wild beasts inhabit it, once developed, the region will provide ample room for the Flower Spirit Clan’s continued growth.”

“As for whether it meets your expectations, you may judge for yourself after accompanying me there.”

After considering it briefly, Qingyi nodded.

“Daoist Yin, who exactly is this close friend of yours? How can he possess an entire spiritual territory? Would he truly agree to having another race as neighbors?”

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

Yin Lingzi coughed lightly and explained:

“This friend resides near Skystar City, at Little Turtle Peak in the Eastern Huang Mountain Range. He is none other than Divine Lord Li. Daoist Gu, perhaps you know him?”

“What? Him?” The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord wore a strange expression.

“To be honest, before coming here, I also became acquainted with Fellow Daoist Li of Little Turtle Peak. We got along quite well.”

Qin Ming immediately struck while the iron was hot.

“Oh? What a coincidence!”

“With Fellow Daoist Li’s reputation as the Cultivation World’s Peace Ambassador, along with his character and standing, peaceful coexistence with Senior Qingyi’s Flower Spirit Clan should pose no problem.”

“Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Li enjoys a good relationship with the commander of the Violet-Gold Sacred Armor Guard in Skystar City. When the time comes, he can likely help mediate the matter of allowing the Flower Spirit Clan to settle near human territory.”

Upon hearing this, both Qingyi and Elder Tu’e revealed delighted expressions.

At present, stability and settlement were exactly what the Flower Spirit Clan needed.

After the upheaval of the Linglong Immortal Estate, they could no longer endure further turmoil.

Thus, the matter was quickly settled.

…

After more than half a month of travel, the familiar human Spirit Domain gradually came into view.

During this period, an unprecedented insect calamity descended upon the demon race territories, causing a massive uproar throughout the Spirit Realm.

Ferocious insects beyond the seventh tier had even descended into the demon territories, unleashing widespread bloodshed and devastation.

At the same time, Insect Devil Yin Lingzi became famous overnight after killing Demon Marshal Ao Yu of the Silvermoon Demon Saint’s Cangyue Heavenly Wolf Clan within the secret realm.

His reputation had already spread all the way back to Skystar City.
