Chapter 804: Purifying World Lotus Seedss

Two sticks of incense later.

Qin Ming followed Elder Tu’e into the Flower Spirit Clan’s territory.

This place had originally been the vast southern wilderness of Little Turtle Peak, with its southernmost reaches bordering several other Spirit Realm races.

It formed a natural barrier.

Aside from roaming desolate beasts, the area had been sparsely populated.

But when Qin Ming arrived again, he found that the Flower Spirit Clan had developed the region in an orderly fashion. The entire area brimmed with vitality.

Around the spirit land, numerous Flower Spirit Clan members were hard at work opening up new land, exterminating desolate beasts, establishing cave residences, and developing spirit veins.

From the look of it, the Flower Spirit Clan had firmly established itself here and was developing at a respectable pace.

Given their foundation and strength, it would not take long before they secured a stable foothold.

Deep within the spirit land lay a picturesque wetland of green mountains and clear waters. Rare beasts and exotic creatures roamed throughout, and spiritual energy was abundant.

From the outer perimeter to the innermost regions, the entire territory was protected by layers upon layers of formations, each more advanced than the last.

At the very center, there were even formations above the seventh tier.

This also showed that back in the Immortal Manor secret realm, the Flower Spirit Clan had still held some things back from Qin Ming and the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord.

Various master craftsmen were also busy constructing large halls and buildings within the territory.

After traveling deeper for some time, Qin Ming once again met the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord beside a waterfall pool.

“Reporting to Saint Lord, Fellow Daoist Li has arrived,” Elder Tu’e respectfully announced.

Qin Ming stepped forward and bowed.

“This junior, Li Qianjie of Little Turtle Peak, greets Senior Myriad Blossoms.”

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord’s narrow, star-like eyes immediately settled on Qin Ming as though trying to see through him.

“No need for formalities, little friend Li. As expected of a young prodigy. To overcome such a powerful Void Refinement Heavenly Tribulation through your own strength alone is no small feat.”

“I doubt more than a handful of people in the entire human race of the Spirit Realm could accomplish such a thing.”

Her figure blurred and instantly appeared before him. Gesturing toward a stone table, she invited him:

“Please sit, little friend Li, and try our Flower Spirit Clan’s specialty—Hundred Blossoms Spirit Tea.”

Seeing her again, Qin Ming noticed that her complexion was indeed much better than before.

It was clear that the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord’s unique seventh-tier talisman had been highly effective.

Though it had healed her foundation and saved her life, she still had only a few hundred years remaining and had not solved the problem of her lifespan.

Qin Ming had long coveted many of the treasures possessed by the Flower Spirit Clan. This visit was also a good opportunity to exchange for some of them.

And perhaps strengthen neighborly relations in the process.

“At such a young age, little friend Li has already reached the middle stage of Void Refinement. Congratulations indeed. I’ve heard that both your alchemy and spirit-plant attainments have surpassed the sixth tier. May I ask who your master is?” the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord asked after having tea served.

Qin Ming accepted a cup and took a sip.

A fragrant aroma lingered in his mouth, leaving a lasting sweetness. It even offered benefits to Void Refinement cultivators.

With a single taste, he knew the tea had been brewed from several sixth-tier spirit flowers and was truly a rare treasure.

“You flatter me, Senior Myriad Blossoms. This junior has no master and has always been an unaffiliated cultivator. I was merely fortunate enough to obtain inheritances in spirit plants and alchemy, allowing me to stumble this far.”

“As for my alchemy inheritance, I owe much to a close friend. However, he has since been accepted as a disciple by a senior expert and has gone to cultivate in the ‘Myriad Spirit Realm.’”

Yet when the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord heard the words “Myriad Spirit Realm,” a look of surprise crossed her face.

“The Myriad Spirit Realm?”

“I have heard of it. There is indeed such a mysterious and secluded place within the Spirit Realm. It is said that sixteen powerful True Spirit races jointly govern all living beings there, which is how it earned its name.”

“Come to think of it, our Myriad Blossoms Clan even has some distant ties to one of the races within the Myriad Spirit Realm.”

“For your friend to be favored by a great power from that place speaks volumes about the depth of his fortune.”

Afterward, Qin Ming and the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord chatted at length.

Half a day later, feeling the time was right, she finally said:

“You are quite an interesting person, little friend Li. I’ve heard many stories about you in the cultivation world, though I initially had my doubts.”

“Now that I’ve met you in person, many of those doubts have disappeared.”

“Fellow Daoists Yin and the others told me that our Flower Spirit Clan was able to obtain the human race’s passage permit and settle here because you helped communicate with the higher authorities.”

“I must thank you for that. Allow me to offer this cup of tea in place of wine.”

“You are too polite, Senior Myriad Blossoms. Fellow Daoist Yin and I are close friends. Since he asked for my help, naturally I did everything I could,” Qin Ming replied without the slightest embarrassment.

After setting down her teacup, the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord looked at him expectantly.

“Before your breakthrough a few days ago, little friend Yin visited me and mentioned that you had successfully cultivated the legendary sixth-tier high-grade Profoundspirit Immortal Peach. Is that true?”

This information had, in fact, been deliberately leaked by Qin Ming through his Demon Infant Primordial Spirit. He intended to further strengthen ties with this Integration cultivator.

At the same time, he hoped to exchange it for some heavenly treasures from the Flower Spirit Clan.

Pretending to be surprised, Qin Ming chuckled.

“I never expected that old fellow Yin Lingzi would reveal even that.”

“That’s right. Some time ago, I harvested a batch of Immortal Peaches. I used several during my breakthrough into Void Refinement, but I still have one or two left.”

“I also heard from Yin Lingzi about what happened between him and Senior Myriad Blossoms in the Linglong Immortal Estate Secret Realm.”

“Does Senior Myriad Blossoms wish to trade for the peaches to extend your lifespan?”

At once, the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord’s eyes lit up.

“Precisely.”

“As long as you are willing to trade the Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches, feel free to name your conditions.”

“Furthermore, I can guarantee that from this day forward, the Flower Spirit Clan and Little Turtle Peak will remain allies for generations. Within my capabilities, I can also act on your behalf once.”

Qin Ming had not expected such an additional benefit.

Being able to establish ties with an Integration expert was certainly worthwhile.

And that promise might prove invaluable at some critical moment in the future.

With a casual sweep of his sleeve, two specially crafted spirit-sealing jade boxes appeared on the stone table.

Given the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord’s cultivation, she did not even need to open them.

Her divine sense entered the boxes and immediately saw the two large, immortal-energy-filled Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches inside.

Even Elder Tu’e, standing nearby, became visibly excited the moment Qin Ming produced the boxes.

It meant that their Saint Lord finally had hope of extending her lifespan.

At the Integration realm, lifespan-extending treasures effective at such a level were nearly nonexistent in the Spirit Realm.

Only the Profoundspirit Immortal Peach, which contained a trace of Immortal Source Energy, remained effective even for Integration cultivators.

Its significance to the Flower Spirit Clan was self-evident.

Although the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord appeared calm on the surface, waves were already surging through her heart.

With these two Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches, she could extend her life by at least five thousand years.

With such a vast amount of time, she might even be able to restore her cultivation to its former peak.

“So they truly are Profoundspirit Immortal Peaches. Little friend Li’s attainments in spirit plants are truly unprecedented. Few throughout history could compare.”

“What would you like in exchange?”

Suppressing her emotions, she looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming stated his request directly.

“I would like some sixth-tier high-grade Purifying World Lotus Seedss, or perhaps a sixth-tier Heart-Enlightening Treasure Flower.”

These two spirit medicines were the primary ingredients for refining the Nine-Revolutions Dao-Comprehension Pill, a pill that enhanced cultivation at the middle stage of Void Refinement.

Now that his cultivation had advanced, Qin Ming’s next goal was obvious—to reach the late stage of Void Refinement.

The Nine-Revolutions Dao-Comprehension Pill was a supreme holy medicine for mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators, so he was doing everything possible to gather the necessary materials.

Earlier, while serving as a peace envoy at the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss, he had already exchanged for all the auxiliary ingredients from various foreign-race elders.

Now, perhaps this Integration expert possessed what he still lacked.

As expected.

The Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord took out a jade box from her storage ring and handed it to him.

“I don’t have the Heart-Enlightening Treasure Flower. However, I do have plenty of Purifying World Lotus Seedss. See if these are enough.”

Qin Ming’s face brightened.

Opening the box, he saw more than ten green lotus seeds lying within, each covered in profound Dao patterns.

They were exactly what he needed.

“Deal.”

The two exchanged items and put away their respective treasures, both thoroughly satisfied.

After chatting for a while longer, Qin Ming felt it was time to leave.

Elder Tu’e personally escorted him out of the spirit land.

“Fellow Daoist Li, do visit our clan often. From this day forward, you are an honored guest of the Flower Spirit Clan.”

“Certainly. And both Fellow Daoist Tu’e and Senior Myriad Blossoms are always welcome at Little Turtle Peak,” Qin Ming said with a cupped-fist salute before transforming into a streak of green light and departing.

After seeing him off, Elder Tu’e hurried back to the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord.

“Saint Lord, who would have thought that after escaping that Immortal Manor secret realm alive, such blessings would follow?”

“Heaven truly favors our Flower Spirit Clan! With these Immortal Peaches, you can continue leading us back to our former glory!”

“You are right. I had already begun arranging matters for after my death. Who would have imagined that treasures such as the Profoundspirit Immortal Peach truly existed—and that a human cultivator would cultivate them successfully?”

Holding the jade box, the Myriad Blossoms Saint Lord sighed.

“With the lifespan granted by these fruits, perhaps I may even have a chance to recover my cultivation to its peak.”

At that thought, even her composure, tempered over tens of thousands of years, could no longer remain completely calm.

Turning to Elder Tu’e, she instructed:

“Elder Tu’e, continue cultivating our relationship with this human Moonwatch Divine Lord.”

“You must maintain good relations with him.”

“My opportunity to restore my cultivation may very well lie with this young man. Spending some resources on him is not a problem. Use your own judgment—you need not seek my approval every time.”

“Yes! This old man shall obey your command, Saint Lord!”

Elder Tu’e was deeply shaken. Even he had not expected her to value Qin Ming so highly.

…

After leaving the Flower Spirit Clan territory, Qin Ming did not immediately return to Little Turtle Peak.

Instead, he headed toward Starfall City.

The Lesser Mount Sumeru Dharma Assembly in the Heavenly Brahma Domain was about to begin, and he wanted to learn more about it from Master Kongzhi.

After all, the one delivering the teachings at the assembly would be Master Shen Yin, the Integration expert who presided over Starfall City and was Master Kongzhi’s teacher.

Perhaps Master Kongzhi would also attend, allowing Qin Ming to travel together with him and avoid a great deal of trouble.

Before long, Qin Ming arrived once more at the Alchemy Pavilion in Starfall City’s inner district.

Upon seeing him, all the alchemists inside immediately bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Senior Li!”

“Senior Li!”

“Welcome to the Alchemy Pavilion, Senior Li. Please wait a moment while this junior informs the Pavilion Master.”

Qin Ming nodded and casually took a seat in the main hall.

Half a cup of tea later, Daoist Xuanguan emerged.

Seeing Qin Ming, he smiled warmly.

“Fellow Daoist Li, what a rare visit.”

“I happened to be passing through Starfall City and wanted to pay Master Kongzhi a visit. Since the Lesser Mount Sumeru Dharma Assembly is about to begin, I hoped to seek his advice regarding some of its details,” Qin Ming said directly.

When Daoist Xuanguan heard mention of the assembly, a trace of envy appeared on his face before he shook his head.

“Unfortunately, your timing is poor. Master Kongzhi left several days ago with other Gold Armor Star Guard elders to handle matters in the Scarletwater Wasteland.”

“Oh? Master Kongzhi went to the Scarletwater Wasteland on a mission?” Qin Ming asked in surprise.

Ordinarily, as a guest elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, Master Kongzhi only needed to refine pills and handle support duties. There should have been no need for him to undertake field operations.

Seeing Qin Ming’s reaction, Daoist Xuanguan guessed his thoughts.

“In fact, this matter is related to the information you revealed at Little Turtle Peak some time ago.”

“It concerns the infiltration of the human spirit domain by the demonic path.”

“The Supreme Commander of the Violet-Gold Sacred Armor personally led a team to deal with the situation in the Scarletwater Wasteland.”

“Since Master Kongzhi possesses several great Buddhist divine abilities that strongly counter demonic techniques, he volunteered to accompany the commander.”

After hearing the explanation, Qin Ming immediately understood.

“So that’s what happened. Truly unfortunate timing.”

Daoist Xuanguan laughed.

“Well, if Master Kongzhi isn’t here, Fellow Daoist Li can still reminisce with this poor Daoist.”

Qin Ming smiled.

The two conversed for half a day before Qin Ming took his leave and departed Starfall City.

…

Scarletwater Wasteland.

A swarm of insects numbering in the tens of thousands was devouring the spirit land of a small sect.

In only moments, every living thing and every valuable item within had been completely consumed.

At that moment, a compassionate Buddhist chant echoed through the air.

“Amitabha. What terrible karma.”

Immediately afterward, the surrounding天地元气 began to tremble violently.

A colossal Buddhist palm seal thousands of zhang across appeared in the sky, with a giant swastika symbol shining in its center.

Carrying a world-destroying aura, the massive palm descended from above and struck directly toward the insect swarm.

Boom!

Countless insects were instantly crushed into nothingness.

A gigantic palm-shaped chasm thousands of zhang wide appeared upon the earth, its depths impossible to see.
