Chapter 796 Returning to Little Turtle Peak

Qin Ming never expected that his pseudonym would become famous.

However, since it is not his true self and will be abandoned in the future, it doesn't matter if he makes some progress.

After some twists and turns.

Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God Lord, along with the Flower Spirit Clan, obtained travel permits in Tianxing City and passed through the Human Spirit Realm.

They entered the southern region of the Donghuang Mountains.

With Yin Lingzi, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, as guarantor, and Qin Ming having already secretly made arrangements with Zi Chen Divine Lord, the situation was quite different.

The upper echelons of Tianxing City did not offer any obstruction.

After the usual registration, they were allowed to pass.

The Flower Spirit Clan merely migrated into a nearby spirit realm. Furthermore, this clan is an extremely rare ancient race, and their reappearance in the spirit world is a testament to their enduring nature.

The nearby alien races also do not interfere with each other. In the future, the Flower Spirit Clan will help the human race to block the wild beasts of the Southern Region. Why not?

The wilderness south of the Donghuang Mountains is extremely vast, stretching as far as the eye can see.

For hundreds of years.

Near the edge of the Little Turtle Peak spiritual land, there are also some large and small cultivation families that have thrived. Most of these families came here after hearing about the reputation of the Moon Gazing Divine Lord.

Suddenly.

Above the void, a vast and immense spatial fluctuation suddenly reverberated.

As a distorted spatial rift opened, an enormous, floating divine chariot made of myriad blossoms flew out from it.

Countless petal runes swirled around the divine chariot, radiating powerful spatial energy.

Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God also clearly felt the power of this seventh-tier flying treasure after this journey.

Aside from the drawback of needing to burn Immortal Jade, it is perfect in every other aspect.

It covers almost every imaginable function.

After everyone arrived, they all stood on the deck, gazing at everything below.

"How is it, Senior Qingyi? Are you satisfied with this place?"

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers gazed at the Spirit Realm below with her bright eyes, and after a long while, slowly nodded:
"Although there are no high-level spiritual veins above the seventh rank, it is still a pretty good place to settle down and develop."

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yin, for guiding us."

"It's good that Senior Qingyi has taken a liking to it. The noble family needs to expand its territory and plan the reorganization of the spiritual lands, so we two will not disturb you any further," Qin Ming said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"If needed, you can come to Little Turtle Peak next door, and the two of us will go and pay a visit to Fellow Daoist Li."

“The Moon Gazing God, is it?” The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers nodded slowly, then said, “Since it’s near someone else’s territory, I will have to pay a visit sooner or later.”

Subsequently.

Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God bid farewell to the Flower Spirit Clan and flew towards Little Turtle Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, back in the Immortal Abode Secret Realm, you promised me the Spirit Summoning Demon Fruit. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?"

Xuan Turtle God Lord, seated on his tortoise mount, addressed Qin Ming.

"Besides, didn't you say you wanted to make a deal with me on the Flower Spirit Clan's divine chariot?"

“That’s right, we’ll talk about it when we get to Little Turtle Peak,” Qin Ming said with a smile.

After saying that, the two streaks of light flashed and disappeared into the horizon.

……

Half a day later.

On the main peak of Xiaoguifeng.

Qin Ming was outside tending to and pruning the spirit plants when the Devouring Rat followed behind him, carrying a basket, yawning, and listlessly picking up the fallen branches.

Suddenly.

Qin Ming's mind raced, and he put away what he was holding, turning back to give it an order:

“My demonic infant spirit has returned, and we have a distinguished guest visiting. You and Little Silver Fox go and prepare tea for him.”

"Ah? Has the third sister come back yet?" Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat's face immediately lit up with excitement and joy.

Qin Ming nodded: "Yes, of course we are safe and sound. We even had a lucky break. Besides Silverwing, we also happened to run into Old Demon Qingyang, who came back with us."

"That old guy is really lucky to be alive!" The Devouring Rat exclaimed in astonishment. "I thought he had perished together with the avatar of the Weeping Soul Ancestor."

"I've burned a lot of paper money for him during holidays and festivals."

It was overjoyed and ran back to the Little Spirit Realm to inform the little silver fox and Tian Ling'er to get ready.

Not long after.

Inside the wooden pavilion outside the cave, the Devouring Rats had already burned incense and brewed tea, and had prepared various local specialties from Little Turtle Peak.

He then kept gazing out into the distance, hoping for the return of the demonic infant.

Two streaks of light flashed by, and a violent fluctuation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth resounded in the void.

The light dissipated, revealing the figures of 'Yin Lingzi' and Xuan Gui Shenjun.

The Xuan Turtle God looked at the abundant spiritual energy before him, with lush spiritual plants covering the mountains and fields, and a towering sixth-order Azure Sky Tree whose canopy blocked out the sun, gathering the spiritual energy of the area.

His expression also showed a hint of surprise.

“Fellow Daoist Li is quite a remarkable person. I once met him in Tianxing City and we had a very pleasant conversation, but he never mentioned that he was cultivating so many high-level spiritual plants.”

"That's right. The Spirit-Summoning Fruit that I promised Fellow Daoist Gu was with Fellow Daoist Li. He owes me a considerable favor, so I'll get it for you right away," Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit said with a slight smile.

Xuan Turtle God said, "Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect there to be this connection. It seems that I, Gu, will have to get to know Fellow Daoist Li properly this time."

As the two were talking, a streak of azure light drifted over and landed in front of them, revealing Qin Ming's figure, whose temperament was like that of an ancient, weathered tree.

A smile appeared on his face as he cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, saying, "I welcome you two fellow Daoists to Little Turtle Peak. Please come into my cave for a chat."

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time. I've come to bother you for a bit," said the Xuan Turtle Divine Lord with a smile.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming welcomed the two to the main peak and ordered the Devouring Sky Rats to serve them spiritual tea.

"Hey! Turtle. What a coincidence! Our place is also called Little Turtle Peak." The Devouring Rat couldn't help but ask curiously when it saw the unusually agile turtle mount.

But when it realized that the aura emanating from this tortoise was even higher than that of a sixth-level cultivator, it immediately shut its mouth again.

After the three sat down, they began to talk.

In reality, it was only Qin Ming and Xuan Gui Shen Jun who were talking, while Yin Lingzi, disguised as someone else, was just playing along.

"I've heard that you, Fellow Daoist Li, possess the legendary Spirit-Summoning Fruit. Is that true?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly, flipped his hand, and produced a jade box, handing it to him and saying, "I've already heard about this from Fellow Daoist Yin. This is a good opportunity to repay him for this favor." Xuan Turtle Divine Lord took the jade box and opened it.

Inside, there lay a blood-red demonic fruit shaped like a demonic beast's heart, radiating an incredibly rich spiritual energy.

"This is truly a demonic fruit! I never expected to see it here."

With this demon fruit, he was able to further enhance the true spirit bloodline within his turtle spirit pet.

"Then I, Gu, will accept your offer without hesitation."

Xuan Turtle God Lord raised his hand and waved it, taking the jade box in front of him into his pocket.

He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards 'Yin Lingzi' and Qin Ming, and stated bluntly:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li has any extra Spirit Summoning Fruits? I am willing to exchange them for corresponding treasures."

For spirit beasts, the Spirit Summoning Fruit is a life-changing opportunity, especially for those with true spirit bloodlines; it is an extremely rare and precious fortune.

However, if one wants to raise the purity of the True Spirit Bloodline to 70-80%, or even 100%, then...

One Spirit Summoning Fruit is definitely not enough.

When the Xuan Turtle God entered, he naturally saw the Devouring Sky Rat and the Little Silver Fox. Their bloodlines were not simple, and they had probably been modified and enhanced by the Spirit Summoning Fruit.

This indicates that this 'Fellow Daoist Li' has already cultivated at least one Spirit-Summoning Demon Fruit.

Qin Ming put down his teacup. Wasn't this exactly what he was waiting for?

"To be honest, I do have a few of these Spirit-Calling Demon Fruits here, but cultivating these demon fruits is quite difficult!"

"Not only does it require long-term nourishment with sixth-order demon blood containing true spirit bloodline, but as a top-grade sixth-order demon plant, it also flowers once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and ripens once every three thousand years."

He described the fruit in great detail, then watched the reaction of the Xuan Turtle God.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Turtle God Lord nodded, "I am naturally aware of this. Fellow Daoist Li, please name your terms."

The words fell.

Qin Ming and 'Yin Lingzi' exchanged a knowing glance.

Immediately, 'Yin Lingzi' coughed lightly and said, "Actually, on the way here, Fellow Daoist Li had already communicated with me and learned about the gains of our trip."

"He wanted to use the Spirit-Summoning Demon Fruit in his possession to exchange for the 'Heavenly Transformation Spiritual Marrow' and the 'Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine' in Fellow Daoist Gu's hands."

"What?! These two items are what I risked my life to obtain on this trip." When Xuan Turtle God saw that these two had finally revealed their true colors, he almost spat out his tea.

"Fellow Daoists, you wouldn't be plotting to swindle me, would you?"

"Leaving aside that clump of Heavenly Transformation Essence, that piece of Blood Vine was obtained by me through a seventh-tier talisman in a trade with the Flower Spirit Clan. I haven't even had a chance to get used to it yet."

Seeing this, Qin Ming remained calm, his skill in concealing his abilities was truly masterful. He continued to pour the other party some spiritual tea and said:

"I, Li, am well aware that these two spiritual items are extremely precious, and I am certainly willing to add a little something extra so that Fellow Daoist Gu will not suffer a loss."

"Really?" Xuan Turtle God asked with a look of suspicion.

Qin Ming smiled without saying a word, then immediately took out a gourd of spirit wine from his storage bag, placed it in front of him, and said:
"This sixth-grade spirit wine is brewed by me alone and is called 'Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Wine'. Its taste can be said to surpass all others. Fellow Daoist Gu, please try it before we talk."

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Turtle Divine Lord's eyes suddenly lit up. He glanced at Qin Ming, took the gourd, and asked in surprise, "Really? A sixth-grade immortal abode spirit wine?"

He then removed the seal.

In an instant, a unique and mellow aroma of celestial wine wafted out, captivating his soul and stealing away half of it.

The Xuan Turtle God poured himself a cup and took a small sip. He was immediately captivated and unable to extricate himself from the reverie.

After a long while, he came to his senses and exclaimed in amazement, "Fellow Daoist Li, you have such spiritual wine and immortal brew, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

"Including this gourd of Void Heaven Inviting Moon Elixir, plus Fellow Daoist Yin's sixth-order late-stage demon core of Demon General Ao Qing, I will exchange it with you."

"Both the Heavenly Transformation Spiritual Marrow and the Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine have an undeniably powerful effect on enhancing the physical cultivation of cultivators. I presume Fellow Daoist Yin should have a share in them?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Lingzi, who was standing to the side, said with a forced smile, "I do indeed have a request, but I have great use for this late-stage sixth-order demon core. Could we perhaps change the terms?"

Next.

After a heated negotiation, the three finally reached a deal.

Qin Ming used three Spirit Summoning Fruits, plus a little something extra, to exchange for two treasures from the Xuan Turtle God.

This is the end.

The 'Transformation Spiritual Marrow' shed from the ancient moth king, as well as the section of the Xuanhuang Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine, ultimately fell into Qin Ming's hands.
As for those Spirit-Summoning Fruits, as long as he has the essence blood of a sixth-tier demon beast and the ripening attribute, he can harvest them indefinitely.

His spirit pets were tired of the medicine, and its effects had reached their limit. The extra demon fruits he grew were only meant to be exchanged for resources.

Next.

Qin Ming then had a long conversation with the Xuan Turtle God, discussing profound mysteries and sharing anecdotes from his experiences in the spirit world.

With this person's perspective and knowledge, Qin Ming naturally heard about many novel things.

Finally, they also discussed the changes in the Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

"With this major change occurring in the Immortal Abode Secret Realm, could it be that the terrifying insect invasion that has occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago is about to happen again?"

"The legendary Three Calamities of Antiquity descended, causing the deaths of not only Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but also Mahayana Loose Immortals and ancient true spirits."

"We minor cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are like a drop in the ocean before such a terrifying existence, unable to make even the slightest ripple."

"Yin Lingzi" sighed deeply.

After a moment's thought, the Xuan Turtle God said, "Fortunately, the Immortal Abode Secret Realm appeared within the territory of the Demon Race, otherwise it would have been truly troublesome."

"Although the scale of this insect plague has expanded, it should not have reached that level yet."

"After all, the three-headed moth queen had already been dealt with by a powerful being."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming glanced at his demonic infant spirit, knowing that a Silverwing Frost Bee, which had fused with the essence of the Mother of Calamity, was currently lying inside his spirit beast pouch.
The Xuan Turtle God Lord probably didn't know that the queen insect of this insect race couldn't be killed at all; it could only be devoured and replaced.
However, Qin Ming could not tell him the truth at this moment, lest it cause trouble.

A few days later.

The Xuan Turtle God then bid farewell to the two and prepared to return home.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Yin. I have important business to attend to and must return to the Nine Dragons Domain. If you two have time, you are welcome to visit me at Turtle Valley in Tai Xuan Mountain to catch up."

"The path to immortality is long and winding; there's no need for you two fellow Daoists to see me off any further."

Qin Ming greeted him and saw him off at Little Turtle Peak.

……

After leaving the spiritual land area.

The Xuan Turtle God sat cross-legged on his millstone-sized tortoise mount, patted its back, and said:
"Xiao Mo, this is a tremendous opportunity for you. I never expected to have such a gain after just one trip out."

"However, why do I have this feeling that I've been tricked by those two guys?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, as if he had remembered something important.

He immediately rode the spirit tortoise and flew towards Tianxing City.
