Chapter 862 Demon Refining Bottle

White Ape Island.

When the two demon generals, Chi Linzi and Long Lizi, saw the seventh-tier demon core, their eyes both showed great interest.

Chi Linzi immediately asked Qin Ming, "Would Fellow Daoist White Ape be willing to sell or exchange this seventh-tier Azure Moon Heavenly Wolf Demon Core?"

"I have several equivalent seventh-tier resources here, which Fellow Daoist White Ape can choose from."

"Hehe! Since that's the case, I'll also get involved. If Fellow Daoist White Ape is interested in exchanging, I have quite a few good things on hand," Long Li Zi said with a smile, stroking his long, thin dragon whiskers with two fingers.

A seventh-order demon core is an extremely rare existence, even among the powerful figures at the Integration level.

Competition among demons is even more brutal and intense; it is extremely common for them to advance by devouring each other.

Therefore, the allure of Ao Yu's demon core is self-evident, and its value far exceeds that of ordinary seventh-tier resources.

After all, a great demon who can cultivate to the seventh level of the Integration stage is extremely rare, whether in the Ancient Demon Realm or the Spirit Realm.

Leaving aside the fact that the demon race members who can cultivate to this level are all old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years, even if their supernatural powers are weak, they are still quite powerful.

Killing a Nascent Soul level demon cultivator is incredibly difficult, let alone Ao Yu, the Demon General who was appointed as a Demon General among Nascent Soul level demon cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that he was besieged by seventh-order ancient ferocious insects in the Immortal Abode Secret Realm, and then struck by the True Spirit Kunpeng, causing him to fall into a spatial storm and suffer serious injuries, he would have been in serious danger.

When Ao Yu, the Demon General, returned to the Ancient Demon Realm, he was hoping to recuperate, but he encountered the mysterious gray-robed elder of the Night Owl Clan again and almost capsized in a ditch.

He was once driven to the brink of despair, even to the point of forcibly burning his life essence, reducing his lifespan to eight thousand years.

Under normal circumstances, if Qin Ming wanted to cross a major realm and use his innate life-shortening technique to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator to the death, it would take at least three to one.

Ao Yu was so handsome that he was almost dead. If Qin Ming hadn't used a diversionary tactic, he probably would have perished at the hands of the gray-robed elder of the Night Owl Clan.

His final cultivation level was less than one-tenth of his original strength, so when Qin Ming used the life-shortening divine power, the price he had to pay was reduced, becoming a one-for-one exchange.

Otherwise, killing the renowned Demon General Ao Yu in the Spirit Realm would not have been so easy.

Therefore, even after hearing the tempting deal offered by the two demon generals, Chi Linzi and Long Lizi, Qin Ming did not immediately agree.

“This old fellow Ao Yu has some personal grudges with me, so his demon core has other important uses and cannot be traded with you two.”

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the two demon generals could only shake their heads and sigh.

Followed by.

After Qin Ming invited Chi Linzi and Long Lizi to take their seats, he took out several exquisite wine cups.

He then took out a pot of Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Wine to entertain the two demon clan leaders who had come to visit.

The two demon generals were used to it, but the moment Qin Ming poured out the spirit wine, the intoxicating aroma of the immortal brew gave them a jolt!
And his mouth was watering.

After Qin Ming filled the spirit wine cups, he gently handed them to the two demon generals and said without a smile:

"This is the 'Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Elixir' that I brewed myself. It has a unique taste and is quite delicious. Today, I will use it to entertain my two fellow Daoists. Please taste it and see how it is."

Upon hearing this, Chi Linzi and Long Lizi each picked up their wine cups and drank them down in one gulp.

In an instant.

The two felt a sudden, profound sense of enlightenment fill their minds, lingering for a long time as they were completely immersed in the wondrous taste of the celestial wine.

"What a drink!"

"I had long heard that some ape races were extremely skilled in brewing wine, but I never imagined they could reach such a level."

"Fellow Daoist White Ape has truly broadened our horizons."

After savoring the sip of the immortal wine, Chi Linzi immediately praised Qin Ming endlessly.

Clearly, these powerful demon clan leaders, while having few other hobbies, are quite interested in things like tea and wine tasting.

So Qin Ming smiled calmly and poured a few more cups of spirit wine for the two demons.

After all, the other party had personally come to visit and offer congratulations, which was a great honor for him. In any case, he had to fulfill his duties as a host.

"This kind of celestial brew is truly rare in the world. It is the most wonderful spiritual wine I have ever tasted in my life."

"Fellow Daoist White Ape, do you have any extra Void Heaven Moon Invitation Elixir? I would like to exchange some with you, even just a small gourd would be fine."

Long Lizi asked with some anticipation.

"Me too, I'd like to purchase some spirit wine, and I hope Fellow Daoist White Ape will grant my request," Chi Linzi added.

Looking at the two demons' eager eyes, Qin Ming immediately replied in a serious tone, "This wine is not easy to brew; only one or two jars can be obtained every few thousand years. I only have a little bit left."

"Since you two fellow Daoists are willing to give me this face, I naturally cannot disappoint you. However... what is the item to be exchanged?"

At this point, Qin Ming's words were full of implications.

Such a top-quality celestial brew naturally deserves to be exchanged for something good.

Chi Linzi and Long Lizi immediately understood. How could two high-ranking demon generals not understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle?
next moment.

Long Lizi took out an exquisite jade box and handed it to Qin Ming, a smile appearing on his face. He asked with considerable confidence:
"Fellow Daoist White Ape, please take a look. Is there enough stuff inside to exchange for a gourd of Void Heaven Moon Invitation Elixir?"

"As for the extra portion, consider it a congratulatory gift from me to Fellow Daoist White Ape for his promotion to the position of Demon General."

Qin Ming was filled with curiosity when he heard the other party say this, and then cast a glance at the Devouring Sky Rat next to him.

The Devouring Rat immediately understood, quickly took the jade box, and deftly removed the seal.

When Long Lizi saw that the Devouring Sky Rat had broken the spirit-sealing restriction he had placed in less than two breaths, he immediately looked at it with a hint of surprise.

It should be noted that he was a seventh-level demon general, and he was extremely clear about the restrictions he had placed on himself. Only those who had reached the Integration Stage or above could break them.

However, the sixth-tier rat demon under the White Ape Demon Commander's command easily broke the restriction as if it were just eating and drinking, which made him look at the Devouring Sky Rat with new respect.

"A bloodline talent capable of breaking through restrictions. I never imagined that our Myriad Ze Demon Kingdom would possess such a rare race."

Chi Linzi also commented indifferently.

Upon hearing the two demon generals speak so highly of him, the Devouring Rat immediately puffed out his chest, his arrogant expression immediately appearing on his face.

Then she opened the jade box with her small hand.

hum~
A soft, trembling sound echoed within the stone pavilion.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of milky white mist emanated from the jade box.

An extremely powerful Dao spiritual essence suddenly descended upon this space, causing the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to resonate.

Only then did it emit a sound of trembling energy.

The Devouring Rat was instantly stunned by the astonishing aura of immortal energy.

Just inhaling the slight amount of milky-white mist that emanated from it caused its demonic power to surge, bringing it immense benefits. Immediately afterward, five egg-sized, pebble-shaped jade stones came into view.

"High-grade immortal jade!"

Qin Ming was very familiar with this item; it was a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth of a higher grade than the mid-grade immortal jade he had previously obtained in the Linglong Immortal Mansion.

He was secretly amazed, never expecting that a powerful demon in the ancient demon realm would possess such a high-level immortal jade.

However, he had also heard that this dragon carp of the Azure-Eyed Clan was a powerful demon clan member skilled in collecting treasures, so it was not surprising that he possessed such a high-grade immortal jade.

For Qin Ming at this moment, the superior-grade immortal jade is like sending charcoal in snowy weather and adding flowers to brocade.

This level of immortal jade contains far more immortal energy than ordinary immortal jade, and can help cultivators in the Void Refinement stage break through bottlenecks.

It even has some effect on cultivators in the Integration stage.

It's actually enough to trade for the Void Moon Invitation Elixir that only Qin Ming can brew.

Moreover, Long Lizi was incredibly wealthy, offering as many as five coins at once, making it impossible for Qin Ming to refuse.

"Since Fellow Daoist Long Lizi is so hospitable, I cannot refuse your kindness. It's a deal."

Qin Ming immediately reached out and took out a gourd of spirit wine, thus completing the transaction.

The dragon carp was overjoyed to receive the celestial wine and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's my turn next."

Chi Linzi, who looked like a child in red robes, was not to be outdone when he saw that Long Lizi had exchanged for the immortal wine.

With a flick of his finger, three items floated silently in front of Qin Ming.

"I am also here to congratulate Fellow Daoist White Ape on your promotion, and to exchange some spirit wine. If Fellow Daoist White Ape takes a fancy to any of these three items, you may choose one."

Nourished by the immortal energy, the Devouring Rat had just woken up in a daze when it was immediately knocked unconscious again by a vast aura of rare and precious natural treasures.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming looked closely and saw that the spiritual energy emanating from the items Huo Linzi had taken out was that they were all seventh-order heaven and earth spiritual objects.

One hot item after another.

It truly broadened Qin Ming's horizons. If he hadn't infiltrated the demon race, he wouldn't have known that these demon race leaders were so wealthy.

Then, thinking of Ao Yu's empty storage ring, the difference between the two was simply worlds apart.
This also made Qin Ming realize just how great the price a fused demon cultivator had to pay to travel between the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm once.

That's enough to make a fully-fledged demon general impoverished overnight.

The items Chi Linzi took out were a seventh-grade vermilion fruit, a strange piece of black jade, and a jade slip containing a demon race cultivation technique of considerable quality.

The Devouring Rat stared at the treasure before it, its saliva practically dripping from its mouth.

It was also the first time it had ever seen so many wonderful treasures.

He couldn't wait to advance to the Mahayana stage and snatch those two old guys away.
Qin Ming's gaze fell on the strange black jade. The spiritual energy emanating from this object had actually reached the level of a mid-grade seventh rank.

It was quite unbelievable to him that Chi Linzi would be willing to use such rare and precious materials to exchange for Qin Ming's spirit wine.

But then.

Qin Ming quickly figured out the key to it.

After some probing, he was astonished to discover that this strange black jade could actually devour the demonic power of the demon race and seemed to possess some kind of restraining power against the demon race.

The material is somewhat similar to that of the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Wheel that Qin Ming had previously obtained.

However, what lies before us is this piece of black jade, whose grade and special abilities are far superior to the latter.

Qin Ming stared at the three items and fell into deep thought.

The formidable item that Chi Linzi pulled out immediately put him in a difficult position.

at this time.

The old demon Qingyang, who was in the Lesser Spirit Realm, awoke from his cultivation, glanced casually outside, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"It's actually the Demon-Devouring Nether Jade!"

"Young friend Qin, what incredible luck have you struck this time?"

Upon hearing that the Old Demon Qingyang had immediately recognized the origin of the strange black jade, Qin Ming immediately asked in his mind.

"Old ghost, do you recognize this thing? Tell me about it."

The old demon Qingyang explained, "This kind of 'Demon-Devouring Jade' is, as the name suggests, a spiritual object of heaven and earth that is extremely effective against demons. It has the ability to devour demonic energy, and ordinary fusion-stage demon cultivators cannot turn it into their own."

"Not only that, it can also refine demon souls."

"This kind of seventh-grade mid-level natural treasure was born in the place where an ancient demon with deep resentment fell."

"No wonder that dragon carp spirit was willing to exchange this item with you."

"They must have already tried to refine this jade, but suffered a great loss, hehehe!"

The old demon Qingyang chuckled and continued, "This item is of little use to the demon race, but for you, young friend Qin, it is an immense opportunity for good fortune!"

"What do you mean?" Qin Ming asked, immediately intrigued after hearing this.

The old demon Qingyang said, "Hehehe! I happen to have a method for refining a secret treasure. Its core ingredient is this 'Demon-Devouring Nether Jade,' which can be used to refine a powerful treasure called the 'Demon-Refining Bottle.'"

"The Demon Refining Bottle?" When the old demon Qingyang said this, Qin Ming had already vaguely guessed what it meant.

The old demon Qingyang replied, "That's right, this is a seventh-tier demon treasure. It can not only absorb the wandering souls of demons, but also forcibly strip away their souls."

"For high-level demon cultivators, it also has a great restraining effect."

"However, the reason I mentioned this opportunity to young friend Qin is ultimately related to your seventh-tier Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree."

"If you can refine the Demon Refining Bottle, as the Demon Clan's commander-in-chief, you will inevitably lead troops into battle."

"At that time, you will use the Demon Refining Bottle to collect the souls of many demons, and then offer them as a sacrifice to the statue of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor through the Candlelight Path. You will steal the supreme incense and vow power to nourish the treasure tree. It won't take long for the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Spirit Fruit to fully ripen."

Qin Ming suddenly realized what was going on!

As expected, experience counts; I never thought this old guy had this kind of trick up his sleeve!
"Old Ghost, your method is not bad, but refining a seventh-tier demon treasure is not an easy task, is it?"

Despite his excitement, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask another question.

"Don't worry, young friend Qin. Although the Demon Refining Bottle is a seventh-tier spiritual treasure, it is different from refining other treasures. Although the difficulty of refining this Demon Refining Bottle is quite high, its most crucial part lies entirely in the main material, the 'Demon Devouring Nether Jade.' With your current level of weapon refining skills, it is more than enough."

"As for the other auxiliary materials, I saw that they were in the storage ring of the demon general Ao Yu that young friend Qin previously defeated. They are practically tailor-made for you."

After listening to Qingyang Old Demon's words, Qin Ming immediately made up his mind and said to Chi Linzi:
“Fellow Daoist Chi Linzi, the deal is done. I will take this black jade.”
