Chapter 801: Mid Void Refinement

Inside the Immortal's Legacy Field.

Qin Ming looked at the nine swaying stalks of emerald-green Taiyi Void Origin Rice and revealed a gratified smile.

In his vision, two golden entries had already refreshed:

[Name]: Taiyi Void Origin Rice [Entry]: Void Spirit Qi x5 (Maturity 100%, Harvestable)

[Name]: Taiyi Void Origin Rice [Entry]: Void Refinement Spiritual Power x5 (Maturity 100%, Harvestable)

The moment the sixth-grade, high-grade spirit rice matured, the entire spirit field erupted with boundless radiant light.

It contained the fundamental source colors of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and ice. In the end, the eight colors intertwined and fused, giving birth to a ninth radiance—the Taiyi Mystic Light from the dawn of chaos.

After Qin Ming's tireless care day and night, coupled with entry-based cultivation, accelerated growth, and the aid of countless heavenly treasures, the Taiyi Void Origin Rice had finally reached maturity.

The nine-colored radiance spread outward, forming strands of spiritual aura that lingered without dispersing. Above the spirit plants, nine halos gradually took shape, appearing incomparably sacred and solemn.

Ripples echoed through the surrounding space.

“So this is the legendary Taiyi Void Origin Rice, already extinct even in the Spirit Realm.”

Qin Ming could not help but sigh as he gazed at the heavenly phenomenon produced by the rice's maturation.

Even Xiao Qing was extraordinarily excited, hopping around inside the spirit field while staring at the spirit rice.

Immediately afterward—

The husks of the nine stalks of sixth-grade, high-grade Taiyi Void Origin Rice parted, revealing spirit rice grains as warm and lustrous as jade, with nebula-like spiritual energy flowing through them.

The nine-colored radiance did not disperse. Instead, it all converged inward into the rice grains.

The world's spiritual energy gathered into a massive vortex and poured into the spirit field.

As the grains within the husks gradually solidified, a resonance of laws echoed throughout the field.

Gradually—

Mysterious natural Dao patterns appeared across the crystal-clear surfaces of the rice grains.

This was the highest manifestation of the power of time and space and Dao resonance contained within the grains.

In an instant, an indescribable and peculiar “Dao fragrance” drifted into Qin Ming's nostrils.

Merely smelling it brought a profound sensation of mental clarity, bodily lightness, and complete serenity within the Purple Mansion and spirit platform.

This fragrance could actually soothe the agitation of heart demons in Void Refinement cultivators.

Finally, the nine-colored radiance and Dao resonance ceased changing and stabilized, permanently engraved upon the rice grains as their essence.

Outside the main peak, the Devourer Rat was eating and drinking.

Its nose suddenly twitched, as though sensing the birth of a treasure from afar.

Even separated by two entirely different worlds of space, it could still detect it. Such was the terrifying nature of its bloodline divine ability.

A strange expression appeared on its face. Setting down its wine cup, it said to everyone,

“Ahem, you all continue. I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't finished.”

With that, the Devourer Rat left the gathering under everyone's puzzled gazes.

Tian Ling’er blinked and lowered her voice to the Little Silver Fox beside her.

“Brother Rat isn't sneaking off for extra treats, is he? That's not like him.”

“Huh? Probably not...” the Little Silver Fox replied blankly.

Meanwhile, the Blue Ice Saintess remained calm, delicately holding a spirit fruit as she chatted with Yue Lingyan nearby.

…

Elsewhere.

The Devourer Rat hurried into the Lesser Spirit Realm and immediately saw the nine-colored treasure light blooming above the Immortal's Legacy Field.

It quickly flew to Qin Ming's side.

Its gaze could no longer leave the spirit rice.

Swallowing hard, it said eagerly,

“Master, the sixth-grade high-grade spirit rice has finally matured!”

Qin Ming nodded.

Without hesitation, he took out a specially prepared Spirit-Sealing Jade Box from his robes. This special spatial jade container could perfectly preserve the essence within the spirit rice.

After all, Mao Yuanzi had told him that the mature state of Taiyi Void Origin Rice lasted only an extremely short time.

Depending on the growth environment, it might remain stable for only a few breaths—or at most half a stick of incense.

It had to be harvested immediately after the nine-colored radiance condensed inward and the Dao patterns stabilized.

Otherwise, the grains would undergo “voidification,” and their essence would disperse back into heaven and earth, leaving only empty husks behind.

However, it was said that even the rice husks themselves were exceptionally rare sixth-grade, high-grade spirit materials in the Spirit Realm and possessed many uses.

Then—

Qin Ming used his Spiritual Power to harvest every grain from the miraculous stalks and carefully stored them within the Spirit-Sealing Jade Box.

As all the Taiyi Void Origin Rice was harvested, the spirit plants seemed to experience their entire cycle of growth and decay in an instant.

They transformed into emerald-green light and scattered into the air before gradually sinking into the spiritual soil of the Immortal's Legacy Field as fertilizer.

Some rice husks remained suspended in the air.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Ming collected them as well.

At the same time, five purple entry leaves of Void Spirit Qi and five purple entry leaves of Void Refinement Spiritual Power appeared within his sea of consciousness.

The Devourer Rat and Xiao Qing both drooled as they stared longingly at the jade box in Qin Ming's hand.

Qin Ming smacked each of them lightly on the head.

“You two bottomless pits only know how to stare at my treasures.”

“Master, that's not fair. We've both rendered great service before,” the Devourer Rat replied weakly while shrinking its head.

After thinking it over, Qin Ming agreed.

He then brought them to the nearby Profoundspirit Immortal Peach Tree, which was also sixth-grade and high-grade.

The peach tree stood over a zhang tall, lush and vibrant, surrounded by immortal energy unique to Immortal Jade.

More than twenty large, plump immortal peaches hung from its branches.

Three golden entries appeared before his eyes:

[Name]: Profoundspirit Immortal Peach [Entry]: Void Refinement Spiritual Power x5 (Maturity 100%, Harvestable)

[Name]: Profoundspirit Immortal Peach [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 100%, Harvestable)

[Name]: Profoundspirit Immortal Peach [Entry]: Abundant Lifespan x1 (Maturity 100%, Harvestable)

Ordinarily, these immortal peaches took nearly ten thousand years to mature and would not bear fruit without special spiritual soil.

Only Qin Ming, possessing a celestial grotto world like the Lesser Spirit Realm, could successfully cultivate the legendary immortal peaches despite relying on accelerated growth entries.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators in the Spirit Realm only harvested branches from the Profoundspirit Immortal Peach Tree as primary materials for top-tier Void Refinement treasures.

The peaches themselves existed only in legends.

Seeing the immortal peaches mature, Xiao Qing bounced even more excitedly nearby.

Although the peaches possessed countless miraculous effects, the first consumption produced the greatest benefit. Subsequent uses gradually diminished in effectiveness.

They were among the finest breakthrough treasures for Void Refinement cultivators.

After some consideration, Qin Ming decided that as long as the tree remained, more peaches could be cultivated later with enough time.

Thus—

With a wave of his hand, he took out a specially made bamboo basket and harvested more than ten peaches.

Another fifteen purple entry leaves appeared within his sea of consciousness.

He then handed the basket and several Spirit-Sealing Jade Boxes to the Devourer Rat.

“I'm in a good mood today. Take these Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches and distribute them to everyone.”

“It's best they save them for critical breakthroughs. Consuming immortal peaches of this level too early would waste their effects.”

The Devourer Rat immediately became excited and hurriedly accepted the basket.

“Don't worry, Master. I'll distribute them properly and make sure they understand.”

As it spoke, it pulled out a peach and stuffed it directly into Xiao Qing's mouth.

“Here, this one's yours. Eat it sparingly. Don't come asking me for more.”

Xiao Qing swallowed the entire Profoundspirit Immortal Peach whole.

Then it stared at the Devourer Rat expectantly.

Seeing this, the Devourer Rat immediately fled the Lesser Spirit Realm without another word.

Qin Ming shook his head and patted Xiao Qing.

“Go play somewhere else. We'll talk after I finish my seclusion.”

Then—

Qin Ming went directly beneath the Yama Immortal Vine, his Natal Spirit Plant.

After sitting down cross-legged, he immediately consumed the Abundant Lifespan entry.

Instantly, an incomparably profound Great Dao aura descended upon him.

It contained the power of time and an unusual primordial purple force.

Qin Ming could clearly feel his lifespan increase by a full three thousand years.

At the same time, it felt as though something indescribable had been added to him.

There was a faint sensation that destiny itself favored him.

“So this is the power of fortune.”

Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes and spoke.

Though fortune was intangible, it unquestionably existed.

Moreover, the deeper one advanced in cultivation, the more important fortune became.

After all, among the supreme figures of the Spirit Realm, those who rose above countless living beings and became the strongest all possessed immense fortune.

Not a single exception existed.

This was also one of the reasons Old Devil Qingyang had become so determined to follow Qin Ming.

According to him, sufficient fortune could turn misfortune into blessing and resist all kinds of strange divine abilities.

Those blessed with profound fortune could even avoid calamities altogether.

Next—

Qin Ming did not hurry out.

Instead, he planted a new batch of Taiyi Void Origin Rice, ensuring the continued supply of sixth-grade spirit rice.

After tending the spirit field, all preparations were complete.

It was finally time to break through to the middle stage of Void Refinement.

…

After leaving the Lesser Spirit Realm—

The Devourer Rat strutted proudly out of Qin Ming's cave dwelling and approached the gathering outside.

Seeing its grand bearing and cheerful expression, everyone immediately became curious.

A strange and fragrant fruit aroma also drifted through the air.

It was far more mysterious than any spirit fruits they were currently eating.

The Little Silver Fox's eyes flashed.

“Brother Rat, did Master reward you with something good?”

The Devourer Rat grinned mischievously and produced the basket of peaches from behind its back.

“See this? These are the legendary sixth-grade high-grade Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches!”

“Today we're truly sharing in Master's blessings!”

“Master said everyone gets one peach. Save it for a critical breakthrough in cultivation.”

The moment those words fell, silence engulfed the scene.

The air filled with rapid breathing.

Everyone stared at the immortal peaches radiating immortal energy, unable to believe their eyes.

The Devourer Rat happily transferred each peach into the specially prepared Spirit-Sealing Jade Boxes Qin Ming had provided and distributed them one by one.

Even Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei each received one.

“This... this is for me?”

Baili Hui adjusted his little melon-shaped cap and spoke in disbelief.

A treasure like this would cause a tremendous upheaval if released into the cultivation world.

Receiving one as a reward felt utterly unreal.

“That's right. Master told me to remind you to wait until you've broken through to Void Refinement before eating it. Otherwise, it'd be a waste.”

Mo Lingwei accepted the peach, visibly moved.

Yet when she heard the words “Void Refinement,” bitterness appeared on her face.

“Breaking through to Void Refinement is incredibly difficult. Not only does one need a Void Refinement opportunity, but also Heaven-Tribulation Treasures. Without sufficient foundations...”

The Devourer Rat replied,

“I'm only at fifth-grade perfection myself. That just means we need to cultivate even harder from now on.”

“Master said the two of you have done well managing Little Turtle Peak over the past several hundred years. He's noticed your contributions. Consider this a reward.”

“As for what you do with the peach, that's entirely up to you.”

Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei exchanged a glance, deeply touched by Qin Ming's generosity.

“We understand. We won't disappoint Peak Master's efforts.”

After receiving such an unexpected gift, nobody felt like continuing the gathering.

Everyone dispersed and returned to their cave dwellings to cultivate diligently.

Several days later—

Qin Ming emerged from the Lesser Spirit Realm.

He planned to attempt his breakthrough to the middle stage of Void Refinement within his cave dwelling on Little Turtle Peak.

Because the heavens seemed to envy him, the tribulations he attracted were incomparably terrifying.

Their power exceeded those of cultivators at the same level by dozens of times.

Although this was merely a minor tribulation for advancing to the middle stage of Void Refinement, he still dared not be careless.

After completing all preparations, he summoned the Devourer Rat.

“I'll be entering seclusion to break through. Make sure no outsiders approach the main peak during this period. I don't want anyone caught in the aftermath.”

The Devourer Rat immediately beamed.

“Then let me congratulate Master in advance on your cultivation advancing once again!”

“Leave everything outside to me. You can rest easy.”

It was genuinely delighted that its master was about to soar even higher.

Soon afterward—

The sixth-grade defensive grand array protecting the main peak was activated at full power.

Qin Ming sat in the center of the cave dwelling.

His Demon Infant Primordial Spirit was temporarily withdrawn from Yin Lingzi's body and returned to the black lotus platform within his central dantian.

After adjusting his mind and body to their optimal states, he lit a stick of sixth-grade Spiritual fragrance beside him.

Then he took out a portion of the Taiyi Void Origin Rice and cooked a small pot.

After eating every grain, an incomparably vast amount of Void Essence surged within him.

It was so overwhelming that it began to rampage out of control.

Immediately afterward, he selected the largest Profoundspirit Immortal Peach and devoured it in just a few bites.

The taste of a sixth-grade spirit treasure truly was unparalleled, leaving Qin Ming wanting more.

But now was not the time for eating.

Within his body, an unprecedented torrent of heaven-and-earth energy had already begun to surge.

Qin Ming formed hand seals and started circulating the Eternal Green Emperor Scripture.

Instantly—

The phantom of an Indestructible Immortal Body spirit plant appeared behind him, spreading countless branches.

“Witness the flourishing and withering of heaven and earth; see oneself as but a grain within the boundless sea!”

The cultivation method of the Mayfly Chapter of his Void Refinement stage began circulating through the Heavenly Cycle.

Without hesitation, he consumed all ten Void Refinement Spiritual Power entries as well.

Boom!

In an instant, darkness descended across a region spanning ten thousand miles around Little Turtle Peak.

The world's spiritual energy was drained away.

Five-colored spiritual clouds suddenly appeared, forming a gigantic funnel-shaped vortex that converged toward the cave dwelling atop the main peak.
