Chapter 829 Rank 6 Mid-Grade Divine Pill
Inside the cave dwelling of the Little Spirit Realm.

As the alchemy progressed, several more days passed without them realizing it.

The Golden Crow Fire Spirit was methodically adjusting the heat, and a strange, faint fragrance began to emanate from the furnace.

"They actually completed the medicine fusion process in one go."

"It felt like everything happened naturally."

Next comes the final stage of pill condensation.

The fact that so many complicated alchemy procedures were completed so quickly far exceeded Qin Ming's expectations.

Of course, Qin Ming had previously worked with Xuan Guan Dao Ren and Master Kong Zhi of Tianxing City's Pill Pavilion to refine sixth-grade high-quality divine pills, which was very beneficial and allowed him to accumulate sufficient experience.

When I usually exchange ideas with the two of them about alchemy, I also learn a lot about alchemy techniques of the sixth rank and above.

With Su Yuqing's complete teachings in alchemy, Qin Ming's alchemy skills had already reached a state of unparalleled mastery.

Immediately, he took out the Pure Light Glazed Bottle, removed the Spirit-Locking Talisman on the outside, and with a flick of his finger, separated a wisp of the rare celestial treasure 'Dao Sound Residual Rhyme' as a medicinal guide.

This item was created when a virtuous monk preached, gathering the collective thoughts of all beings and resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

After all, this Dharma assembly is only held once every few thousand years, and the collection of this rare item depends entirely on luck.

Therefore, the lingering sound of the Dao is the most crucial element in refining this Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill. Other spiritual materials are fine, but this one is irreplaceable.

Qin Ming immediately had a thought and put the lingering sound of the Dao into the alchemy furnace.

All of a sudden.

The condensing pill seemed to have been enlightened by some mysterious power, and was given a completely new Dao trace.

Three sixth-grade mid-level spirit pills, shimmering with a bluish-green light, suddenly coalesced, with a strange, flowing light swirling within them.

A clear, melodious sound of pills echoed from within the alchemy furnace.

hum~
Suddenly, a mesmerizing celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky above Xiaoling territory, enveloped by swirling clouds.

Qin Ming successfully refined three Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pills on his first attempt, and the quality of each pill was extremely high. He immediately smiled, overjoyed.

This level of sixth-grade mid-level divine pill is not something that just anyone can refine so easily.

The moment the Golden Crow Fire Spirit successfully refined the pill, it casually made a move, and the nine-colored flames disappeared.

This alchemy attempt seemed to be just a small test for her, requiring almost no effort at all.

Qin Ming also felt it; the stubborn impurities in the pill were instantly refined under the tempering of the seventh-order strange fire.

This is also an important reason why He Wei was able to successfully refine pills on his first attempt.

Normally, it would probably consume several sets of materials.

Such high efficiency in alchemy is unprecedented and likely to remain so.

Upon seeing the extraordinary alchemical phenomenon above Qin Ming's cave, the Devouring Rats within the Little Spirit Realm exclaimed in surprise:
"What kind of miraculous elixir has Master refined this time?"

"Let's go! Let's go take a look."

The Devouring Sky Rat and its companions immediately crept up to the entrance of the cave, peeking inside with their heads sticking out.

Qin Ming and the Golden Crow Fire Spirit were chatting and laughing as Qin Ming put the three powerful Glazed Divine Pills into an exquisite jade bottle.

Seeing that they had all finished refining pills, the Devouring Sky Rat immediately stepped inside and began to massage Qin Ming's shoulders with a solicitous expression:
"Master, what kind of elixir did you just refine? It looks quite miraculous, hehe!"

Qin Ming said calmly, "You haven't even finished the immortal peach wine I gave you, and you're already eyeing the elixir?"

"This is the legendary Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill, used to enhance cultivation in the mid-to-late stages of the Void Refinement realm. It also works on demonic beasts, accelerating their comprehension of the Great Dao."

"Really? That immortal peach is too precious, I haven't been able to bear eating it yet. Otherwise, I can use this divine pill to nourish my body first." The Devouring Rat immediately put on a smile.

"Then you'll have to perform another great service." With that, Qin Ming poured out a Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill and swallowed it, amidst its longing gaze.

Immediately afterwards, he began to cultivate using the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique".

boom!
In an instant, an incomparably powerful medicinal force dissolved within Qin Ming's body, flowing through his limbs and bones.

After circulating for several cycles, streaks of azure spiritual light converged towards Qin Ming's Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform.

Qin Ming's primordial spirit began to further etherealize, merging into the void, and he gained many insights from the darkness.

This profound and ethereal feeling was no less than the unique experience he had when he suddenly comprehended the way of the sword under the Bodhi Tree.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) immediately transformed into countless mayfly-like entities, rushing one after another into his body.

The ethereal image of verdant spiritual plants emerged from behind him, and a vibrant essence of vegetation immediately emanated from them, filling the entire cave.

As cultivation deepened, the illusory image of the immortal body, Mu Huai, continued to grow taller, its growth rate exceeding several times that of normal cultivation.

Upon seeing this, the Devouring Sky Rats and the other beasts' eyes lit up. They immediately sat obediently in a circle around Qin Ming and began to absorb the essence of the plants and trees, as well as the power of time, to cultivate.

As Qin Ming's cultivation level grew stronger, the effects of these plant essences on them also improved.

Only the Golden Crow Fire Spirit did not need to cultivate in this way. Her playful eyes showed surprise as she watched this scene.

Several more days passed.

Wherever Qin Ming was, golden lotuses sprang from the ground and flowers rained down from the sky.

He had completely refined and absorbed the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Enlightenment Pill, which not only greatly improved his cultivation level, but also brought him all sorts of incredible insights in the process.

And it produced all sorts of extraordinary and wondrous phenomena of wisdom.

Even the realm of Sword Heart Clarity, which he had only recently reached, had been slightly improved, and his understanding of the Nameless Sword Scripture had deepened considerably.

It is equivalent to a lot of his usual time spent in meditation and arduous practice.

"No wonder those cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are so eager for this pill; its medicinal power is indeed extremely strong."

Qin Ming slowly finished his practice and opened his dark, inky eyes.

He exuded an aura of ancient, weathered tranquility, like an evergreen tree in the world of cultivation.

Meanwhile, the spirit pets around them were completely absorbed in the process, progressing many times faster than when they cultivated alone. The Xuan Shui Crocodile's previously battered body had now fully recovered, and it had taken this opportunity to absorb a trace of the Golden-Winged Roc's essence blood sealed within its body, showing signs of a breakthrough.

Qin Ming looked pleased.

Feeling that it was about time, he got up and left the small spirit realm, arriving at his room on the magic ship.

After flying for some time, they also crossed the Tianji Mountain Range, which stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, and were about to arrive at the territory of the demon race.

The moment Qin Ming came out, he saw several communication talismans already attached to the door's protective barrier.

He opened the browser and found that they were all messages sent by Master Lu and Gu Chang'an during his seclusion.

After reading it, Qin Ming immediately walked towards a large hall on the ship. When he arrived, he found that the dozen or so people on this trip were already inside discussing something.

"Fellow Daoist Li has come out. You've arrived just in time. We're discussing the final plan."

When Lu Laodao saw Qin Ming, he quickly invited him to sit down.

Qin Ming glanced around and casually sat down next to Gu Chang'an and Zi Chen Shenjun.

Gu Chang'an glanced at him briefly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he remained silent on the surface, not showing it.

He couldn't help but be secretly surprised: 'How come this kid's cultivation has improved so much in such a short time?'

'Good heavens, you're making a fortune in silence, huh?'

'They must have received my guidance and gained immense opportunities and benefits in that Bodhi Mystic Realm.'

"I even pulled some strings for Amitabha, giving him this rare opportunity. He kept it from me; he's being overly cautious."

Qin Ming also felt Gu Chang'an's gaze, and a chill ran down his spine. His face felt hot under Gu's stare, so he immediately turned his head and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what's wrong?"

"But what has happened to me, Mr. Li?"

"Hehe! It's nothing. I just sensed that Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation has improved again. It seems he gained a lot at the Little Mi Mountain Dharma Assembly!" Gu Chang'an said meaningfully.

Qin Ming replied without batting an eye, "It was just a small gain, nothing to brag about compared to others."

Gu Chang'an looked incredulous.

Next.

Master Lu of Wuji Dao Palace explained the subsequent plans to everyone.

"If all twelve of us enter the demon territory together, we'll be too conspicuous. It's better to split into pairs and enter separately, then meet up at our destination."

"Fellow Daoists may choose their own partners."

After saying that, Old Master Lu flicked his finger and gave everyone a map jade slip.

Immediately, a beam of light shot out in mid-air, revealing the illusory map within the jade slip.

He continued, pointing to a location within the Great Flame Demon Realm, "After we enter the demon territory, we will meet here at the 'Thunder Sea Demon Ruins,' which is where the 'Withered Heart Demon Grass' is located. At that time, we will work together to lure away the Void Beast, and the rest of us can obtain the immortal herb."

Upon hearing this, everyone put away the jade slip and nodded in agreement with Old Daoist Lu's plan.

Two more days passed.

A hazy purple light curtain connecting heaven and earth appeared in everyone's sight.

Below it, the Ten Thousand Mountains stand tall.

A large demon city gradually grew from small to large under their watchful eyes, becoming magnificent and spectacular, in no way inferior to that of the human race.

The army of Dharma ships from the Heavenly Brahma Domain, which was tasked with suppressing the insect swarm, finally arrived at the border of the demon race.

Subsequently.

The demon race dispatched numerous cultivators to check and verify their identities.

After several twists and turns, the massive fleet of magic ships finally entered the territory of the demon race.

Head to the site of the insect swarm outbreak.

Suddenly.

Almost at the moment the Tianfan army passed through the purple light curtain.

Inside the Immortal City of the Demon Clan, in a huge palace, sat a strange-looking man, none other than Ao Yu, the Demon General in the Integration Stage.

His only beloved son, Ao Qing, died at the hands of Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit in that immortal realm.

Even that late-stage sixth-order demon core had been transformed into the Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Elixir and consumed by many people.

Ao Yu, the demon general, opened his eerie eyes and glanced in the direction the human army had departed. He muttered to himself with a strange expression:
"How strange. Why do I have this strange feeling that there are familiar faces among those humans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared without a sound, secretly following the direction of the Tianfan army.

The cultivators of both the human and demon races were unaware of all this.

At this moment.

Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an formed a team, while Zi Chen Shenjun teamed up with Master Kongzhi.

Qin Shujian, on the other hand, wanted to stand out from the crowd, so we let him be.

Each of them used their supernatural abilities to quietly leave the fleet of magic ships halfway through the cultivator army's journey, disappearing into the void.

They dispersed in different directions.

After they leave.

The figure of Demon General Ao Yu appeared in the void.

His cold gaze fixed ahead, and he snorted, "As expected, these humans are not to be trusted. More than ten cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have infiltrated; they must have some unspeakable secret."

"I want to see what tricks these people are up to!"
