Chapter 843 Opportunity for Great Merit
This senior, 'Li Qianjie', not only reached the mid-stage of the Refinement Void realm, but was also the deputy hall master of the Pill Hall.

All the people in the General Affairs Department have to act according to his wishes.

Qin Ming had naturally seen everything that had just happened.

Suddenly.

An immense spiritual pressure descended.

The cultivators surnamed Zhu and the others all had faces as red as liver, and were forced to the ground, completely powerless to resist.

"With a formidable enemy at hand, is this how your Zhenyuan Army treats its own people with such cowardice?"

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow and questioned him calmly.

"Senior Li Li, we dare not do it again." The Zhu family cultivators all said, sweating profusely.

They were also extremely distressed, never expecting that this kid Jiang Tian would actually know the deputy hall master of the Pill Hall.

at this time.

Not far from them, another group of cultivators, all dressed in the uniforms of the Zhenyuan Army, came rushing in.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a fierce aura, wearing dark scale armor, appearing extremely powerful and imposing, and his cultivation was also at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

This person looks like someone who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years; he exudes a murderous aura.

"Commander Cao!" The Zhu-surname cultivator on the ground saw this person and grasped at a lifeline.

When Commander Cao arrived with his men, he forced a smile onto his usually stern face and bowed to Qin Ming, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, why bother with these juniors? It's just a small matter. Why not show them some mercy and let them off the hook?"

"Fellow Daoist Cao, is this how you discipline your subordinates? The Zhenyuan Army is known for its strict discipline and rules, but it seems to be all talk and no action."

Qin Ming, however, did not give him face and spoke in a lukewarm manner.

The silver-armored star guards of Tianxing City were immediately filled with excitement upon seeing that someone was backing them up.

"Hehe! Since that's the case, I'll take these people back to receive military punishment. Is Fellow Daoist Li satisfied?" Commander Cao saw that Qin Ming's attitude was so tough that he actually stood up for those Nascent Soul cultivators.

This is the first time in more than half a year.

However, he couldn't afford to offend this powerful figure now, since their Zhenyuan Army's supply of pills depended entirely on their Pill Hall.

If Li Qianjie is unhappy and deliberately reduces their logistical supplies, they will have no choice but to accept it.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Commander Cao gave him a forced smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left with his men.

However, as the cultivator surnamed Zhu was leaving, he noticed that Senior Li had taken out a large number of bottles and jars and handed them to Jiang Tian and the others.
Among them were even quite a few fifth-tier elixirs and miraculous medicines.
"Thank you so much, Senior Li, for getting us out of this predicament." Jiang Tian accepted the batch of recovery pills and thanked Qin Ming gratefully.

Qin Ming smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a small favor."

Subsequently.

Qin Ming led the group into a side hall of the General Affairs Department to learn about the situation.

Jiang Tian never expected to run into Qin Ming here, after all, this was the extremely dangerous front line.

"Reporting to Senior Li, we also received a mission from our superiors and have only recently arrived at the front lines of the Tianji Mountains. Our main task is to carry out scout missions."

"A few days ago, in the spirit realm that was previously occupied by the demon race, after losing two squads, we discovered some unusual circumstances."

"Oh, really? Tell me more about it." Qin Ming was also surprised to hear this.

Immediately, Jiang Tian reported to Qin Ming in detail the secret intelligence they had uncovered during their trip.

After listening, Qin Ming's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Jiang Tian and his Star Guardian team actually discovered a nesting and egg-laying site for the Zerg.

These guys are really lucky to have made it back to Zhenyuan Heaven City alive.

The Zerg's nesting sites are often extremely critical and dangerous locations, guarded by high-level ferocious insects.

Let alone those few Nascent Soul cultivators, even if Qin Ming went there personally, he wouldn't dare guarantee that they would emerge unscathed.

"Luckily, those ancient ferocious insects were distracted by other things and temporarily left that insect nest, otherwise we probably wouldn't have seen Senior Li again," Jiang Tian said.

Qin Ming nodded slightly, then asked, "Besides you few, is there anyone else who knows about this?"

Jiang Tian was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately shook his head, saying, "No, only a few of our Star Guard squads knew about this. The rest of us all perished on the spot."

"Why do you ask that, Senior Li?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately showed a hint of joy, patted Jiang Tian on the shoulder, and said approvingly:

"Jiang Tian, ​​you did a great job!"

"You don't need to report this to your superiors. I already know about it and will speak to Master Yuanjue and the others myself."

"Senior Li, this..." Jiang Tian and the others looked puzzled and hesitated.

After all, this matter was of utmost importance, and their superior was not Qin Ming. Revealing it to him was already a violation of military discipline.

In the Little Spirit Realm.

The Devouring Rat listened intently to their conversation, its expression extremely puzzled. It then addressed the little silver fox and the Blue Ice Fairy:
"That's strange, why has Master changed his temperament this time?"

"Could it be that he intends to personally explore that insect hive? Such a dangerous place is completely out of character for his cautious nature?"

The little silver fox and Tian Ling'er blinked their eyes and said, "Perhaps Master has his own plans."

And what they said is true.

Qin Ming did this because he sensed that he was about to accomplish something great!

If we can infiltrate the Zerg and destroy their rapidly multiplying nests, the scale of the insect plague will surely be reduced.

The human cultivator army has sent out countless scouts to try to pinpoint the location where the insect eggs were born, but so far there has been no news.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian, ​​that kid, stumbled upon a stroke of good luck.

If Qin Ming destroys the insect nest, it will be a monumental achievement worthy of being recorded in the annals of human history.

He can then use this achievement to get rid of his status as a conscript; otherwise, it would be a waste of time to keep him here for a hundred years.

He had been thinking about this matter for the past few days, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tian gave him a pleasant surprise.

For others, infiltrating the Zerg heartland and destroying all the eggs that produce the Zerg swarm is virtually impossible.

Even powerful beings at the Integration Stage might not be able to do it.

But Qin Ming is different. He possesses spirit pets such as the Devouring Sky Rat, the Blue Ice Fairy, and the Silver Wing Frost Bee, and his various void supernatural abilities are unbelievable.

Silverwing has now absorbed the power of the original essence of the Mother of Calamity, one of the three ancient calamities, and was originally a bloodline emperor among the Zerg.

Therefore, even if the mission cannot be completed, there is still a high chance of escaping danger.

However, there needs to be a witness to this matter, otherwise how will the higher-ups know that he did it?
Jiang Tian and his group are definitely not very capable; once a fight breaks out, they won't even be considered cannon fodder.

As Qin Ming's mind raced, he suddenly thought of a good teammate.

He immediately took out a jade slip and began writing a letter using his divine sense.

After finishing.

Qin Ming solemnly handed the letter to Jiang Tian and instructed him, "You must deliver this letter to Qingfeng Valley in the Nine Dragons Domain as quickly as possible. Do not delay, lest you miss the opportunity to fight." "As for your dispatch, I will guarantee it for you. You don't need to go to the front lines to fight to the death."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was stunned, even doubting whether he had misheard.
If that were the case, he would be more than happy to accept it. Who would want to deal with those terrifying, ferocious insects? He could complete his mission simply by delivering messages.

Jiang Tian felt that meeting Senior Li this time must be a stroke of good luck from his ancestors.

He quickly took the jade slip and hurriedly replied, "Senior Li, please rest assured, I will deliver it as quickly as possible."

After the two talked for a while...

Jiang Tian then personally led his men to handle the matter.

Qin Ming returned to his cave and continued to study the statue of the Candlelight God.

But at this moment.

The Old Demon Qingyang slowly awoke from the small spiritual realm. He yawned deeply, then glanced at the statue in Qin Ming's hand and said:

"So it was the Candlelight Path of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor?"

"Young friend Qin, could it be that you intend to use this item to continue to gather the power of all beings' wishes to cultivate that Tree of Seven Emotions and Six Desires?"

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Of course, after all, once the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Fruit matures, it becomes a spiritual object that combines with the body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to plant the tree at Duchenwu."

"Hehehe! Young friend Qin's luck is extraordinary, I have already witnessed it. I dare not speak for others. But if you want to steal the incense and vows of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor's followers through this demon statue, then it is not entirely impossible to do so," said the old demon Qingyang with a sinister smile.

Upon hearing that the old man had a solution, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask, "Old ghost, since you had a solution, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Young friend Qin, you may not know this, but the incense offerings and vows of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor are not so easily stolen," the Old Demon Qingyang explained. "It must be done within the demon race's spiritual domain in the Spirit Realm, or perhaps in the Ancient Demon Realm."

"Forget about the Ancient Demon Realm for now. It's too dangerous there, especially since you've offended two great demon ancestors."

"However, you are currently in the Tianji Mountains, which is the border between humans, demons and monsters, so you barely meet this condition."

"Next, I will pass on to you a secret sacrificial technique of the demon race. Combined with the 'Myriad Forms of Selflessness and the True Art of the Heavenly Demon's Freedom,' it will ensure absolute success. Hehehe!"

The voice just fell.

In Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness, a new demonic technique has appeared: sacrificing a powerful soul in exchange for incense offerings and prayers.

After browsing through this secret technique, his expression flickered with uncertainty. He never expected that the Old Demon Qingyang would possess such a heaven-defying secret art.

With such a secret maneuver, even the Six Paths Saint Ancestor was kept in the dark.

……

the other side.

In the Qingfeng Valley of the Nine Dragons Domain, in the far south.

This place is tranquil and secluded, like a paradise on earth.

Xuan Turtle God Lord Gu Chang'an was healing and recovering his vital energy in his cave. He had used the seventh-level Dao Integration Spirit Descent Talisman twice in the past few hundred years, which greatly damaged his vital energy.

With great difficulty, using many spiritual items, he recovered in a short period of time.

Fortunately, it was his true self who descended upon him each time the spirit was summoned; otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have used this talisman to summon other powerful beings to possess them and enhance their strength.

The price to be paid is even more terrifying.

Inside Qingfeng Valley.

Master Hanya was carefully feeding Chang'an's tortoise as instructed, treating it like a precious ancestor.

The green-haired turtle looked reluctant and turned its head to the side.

"You stubborn turtle, you really think you can take a beating just because I gave you a little naught?"

"You wouldn't even eat the meat of a fifth-tier demon beast?"

"If you don't eat, you'll go hungry. Let's see if you dare to be arrogant again! I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

With a loud bang, Master Hanya slammed the rice bowl in his hand onto the ground, preparing to turn and leave.

But at this moment.

Outside the valley, a jade slip carrying a message flew in and landed in his hand.

Master Hanya casually waved his hand, took the jade slip into his hand and examined it. He saw that the cyan jade slip was engraved with a familiar character.

"It's actually a letter sent by Senior Qin Li from afar!"

He was immediately shocked and dared not delay, so he sent it to Gu Chang'an's cave as quickly as possible.

Gu Chang'an had just finished his practice and was about to exhale a long breath of turbid air as he prepared to leave seclusion.

"I don't know why, but lately I've had a vague feeling of unease. Could it be that something is about to happen again?"

"Never mind, this time, no matter what, stability is the priority, and I need to raise my cultivation to the Integration Stage."

But then they saw Master Hanya rushing over in a flurry of activity.

Gu Chang'an said calmly, "What's wrong now? I've been here for so long without any problems, why are you in such a panic?"

Master Hanya was taken aback, and immediately presented the jade slip without saying a word. "This is a letter from Senior Li. You will understand once you take a look."

Upon hearing that the letter was from Qin Ming, Gu Chang'an immediately had a bad feeling. His hand trembled so much that he almost dropped it.
"Is this kid looking for me because he has something good in store for him again?"

Immediately, he began to browse through his divine sense.

The contents of the jade slip were extremely simple and straightforward, consisting of only a few words:

"Brother Gu, a great opportunity has appeared! Come to Zhenyuan Heavenly City immediately!"

Gu Chang'an's face twitched. He felt uncomfortable whenever he saw the words "great opportunity".

"No way. Even if there's a chance to become an immortal, I won't go! Every time I team up with that kid surnamed Li, nothing good ever comes of it."

……

After one month.

The inner city area of ​​Zhenyuan Tiancheng.

A handsome and otherworldly cultivator appeared inside the teleportation hall, riding a tortoise spirit pet.

As soon as Gu Chang'an appeared, he sighed and said, "You better not try to fool me, Li! Otherwise, we won't even be friends anymore!"

Not long after.

Qin Ming also noticed Gu Chang'an's arrival and immediately showed up to greet him warmly.

After the two met, Qin Ming gave him a general account of what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you telling the truth?"

"I just woke up from my injuries and haven't even had a chance to sit down properly. For something as life-threatening as this, you'll have to pay extra."

Qin Ming made no attempt to hide the difficulty of the mission and explained it to him in detail.

He also mentioned to Gu Chang'an that he would provide some corresponding compensation after the matter was accomplished.

"Then what conditions does Fellow Daoist Li have for this trip, that would allow us to reach a deal?" Gu Chang'an asked.
