Chapter 857 - 656: Sacrificial Refining of Thunder Mountain
Seeing Mo Lingwei successfully pass her tribulation and cross the Divinity Transformation Abyss, Qin Ming also revealed a trace of comfort in his expression.
After Mo Lingwei’s breakthrough, she needed some time to consolidate her realm, so he did not disturb her, letting her go into secluded cultivation on her own.
The nearby cultivators who had gathered to watch were all praising her endlessly.
"Since Venerable Wangyue ascended, it’s been a hundred years, and now Wangyue Island once again gives rise to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator. Its foundations are truly deep, and its fortune is extraordinary!"
"Indeed, indeed. Even the other major Divinity Transformation Sects don’t have something this outrageous."
"Looks like the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm is going to continue flourishing for several thousand years more..."
Qi Yunxiao had also witnessed the might of the Divinity Transformation Tribulation. After bidding farewell to Qin Ming, he returned to Primordial Extreme Mountain to study restrictions again.
Qin Ming, on the other hand, returned to Wangyue Island.
Because he had previously laid down a Defense Array on the Spirit Island, the Spirit Fields inside had not suffered much damage under the Celestial Tribulation, and all the Spirit Plants were still intact.
He did not intend to take everything here away; it could be considered some legacy he was leaving behind for those who came after.
After that, Qin Ming had Hua Tianxiong come forward to entertain the cultivators who had come in admiration.
He himself went back into the Cave Mansion, studied Master Mo Ji’s Storage Ring, and by the way, thoroughly searched Yanxu Spirit Mountain.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat and the Little Silver Fox and the other Spirit Beasts were assigned by Qin Ming to go reclaim and open up Spirit Fields.
Now the space within the Little Spirit Realm had expanded several hundredfold; the newly added Spirit Land could not be left to waste.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat held the Divine Hoe in one hand, the other hand shading its eyes as it gazed toward the boundless plains beneath the Cyan Mountain. With a look of utter despair it said, "Eh! We have to dig again. Just how long is this going to take?"
...
Time Flies.
Two years passed in a blur.
Qin Ming looked at the vibrant, full-of-vitality Little Spirit Realm, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
After the Heaven-Devouring Rat and the others reclaimed and cultivated the land, he had already replanted Spirit Plants in the previously almost abandoned Sumeru Spirit Garden as well as on Yanxu Spirit Mountain.
And they were all High-Tier Spirit Seed he had gathered from within the Immortal Mansion, including quite a few Tier Five Spirit Plants.
At this moment, it truly looked like a small world, with everything it ought to have.
...
Inside the Cave Mansion.
In front of Qin Ming floated an ancient, simple ring. As a surge of powerful Divine Thought Power invaded it, scarlet Spiritual Light flickered unsteadily on the Storage Ring.
Right afterward, a faint trembling sound came from within the ring.
After tireless effort, Qin Ming finally broke the Restriction left behind by Master Mo Ji, and his Divine Thought smoothly entered the Storage Ring.
The next instant, a dazzling array of treasures within the ring came into his view...
Looking at the wealth that Master Mo Ji had accumulated over thousands of years, he couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.
The space inside was enormous, packed full of various Cultivation Techniques, pills, treasures, spiritual materials—simply beyond counting.
Just then.
On a bookshelf, a delicate jade box immediately drew Qin Ming’s attention. He moved his thoughts and drew it out.
In the next instant that jade box appeared in his hand, and even separated by the sealing, he could feel an astonishing surge of spirit essence pouring out!
Qin Ming opened the jade box. The Heaven-Devouring Rat, catching the scent, also poked its head over, asking curiously, "Master, what good stuff is this? I seem to smell a strong scent of treasure... It seems extraordinary!"
Then.
The instant he opened the jade box, milky-white misty light overflowed and diffused from within.
Qin Ming fixed his gaze, and his entire spirit shook. Inside lay five pieces of milky-white jade, each containing a strand of Immortal Spirit Qi, many grades higher than a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
Ecstatic, he said, "Could it be...this is the legendary Immortal Jade?"
"Jie jie jie! That’s exactly what it is. To think this fellow actually had a full five pieces; that’s rather rare. Ordinary Void Refining Cultivators can’t afford Immortal Jade at all. I’d wager Master Mo Ji, as a Tier Six Artifact Refiner, earned a great many Spirit Stones and even managed to obtain this." Qingyang the Old Demon laughed.
"Of course, it’s also possible he found it inside the Immortal Mansion."
"Immortal Jade!" The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes shone as it stretched out its little hand, unable to resist wanting to touch it and personally feel it...
Pa!
But in the next moment, Qin Ming slapped its little hand away. "This thing is extremely precious. Don’t even think about it, brat."
"Heh heh! I’m just looking. A treasure passed down from the True Immortal Realm—this is my first time seeing something like this. My life’s worth it now." The Heaven-Devouring Rat resentfully pulled back its hand.
Qin Ming immediately closed the jade box again. The Immortal Jade would definitely be of great use when he charged at a higher realm in the future.
Afterward, in the Storage Ring he found quite a few Tier Five Spirit Plants, and even some Spirit Seed of rare Tier Six Spirit Plants.
These spiritual herbs were clearly things Master Mo Ji had obtained from the Immortal Mansion back then.
Some of them were already fully matured Spirit Medicine, while the rest were Spirit Seed.
After all, the Immortal Mansion Treasure had fallen into the Void Profound Abyss for several thousand years. The Spiritual Qi inside had declined and was no longer sufficient to nourish these High-Tier Spirit Plants.
Qin Ming examined all the Spirit Plants one by one; there were even quite a few items he needed for Alchemy.
"Nine-Eyed Blood Bodhi... a Tier Five High-Grade Spirit Plant."
"Spirit Seed of the Purple Spirit Ten Thousand Souls Flower, a Tier Six Low-Grade Spirit Plant..."
"Taixu Star Miasma Grass..."
...
The dazzling array of Spirit Grass and Spirit Flower left Qin Ming greatly excited.
If these resources could be cultivated again, they would be enough for him to train all the way to the Void Refining Realm.
In high spirits, Qin Ming rubbed the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s head and said, "Go catch a Soul Crossing Spirit Fish. This seat is going to properly celebrate."
