Chapter 1007 - 716: True Spirit Essence Blood

Chapter 1007: Chapter 716: True Spirit Essence Blood

On the main peak, after everyone had left.

Heaven-Devouring Rat’s face was filled with joy as it repeatedly cupped its hands toward Qin Ming, congratulating him: "Congratulations Master, felicitations to Master!"

"Occupying such a large piece of high-tier spiritual land, becoming an Earth Immortal in the Spirit Realm... hehehe!"

Qin Ming patted its head and couldn’t help but smile: "You are getting better at talking."

"However, to truly become an Earth Immortal, that’s still far off. At least, one must break through to the Void Refining Stage."

Heaven-Devouring Rat said, looking up: "With Master’s abilities, breaking through to the Void Refining Realm is surely guaranteed!"

"Achieving Integration Great Power in the future, or even becoming the legendary Mahayana Loose Immortal, I feel is highly hopeful."

Heaven-Devouring Rat blinked its eyes, naturally hoping that its thigh gets stronger and stronger.

It could also follow along, join in the feast, and make a name for itself...

Becoming a demon ancestor is also quite achievable!

In the days that followed.

Little Turtle Peak returned to peace, and no one came to disturb.

Even if some factions came to forge connections, Qin Ming had Baili Hui handle them.

Nowadays, those qualified to meet him in person must at least be at the Void Refining Stage.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Ming’s status and position around Celestial Star City rose substantially.

Meanwhile, within Celestial Star City, a storm began brewing once again.

Various factions, big and small, were preparing for the final competition.

After all, this concerned their future major backer prospects, as well as their distribution of interests.

...

Within Celestial Origin Valley.

A cultivator shrouded entirely in shadows addressed Divine Monarch Lingtian, who wore the Yin Yang Robe:

"Why has it been so long, and yet there’s been no movement from you?"

"If we really let that kid grow into a force, with your deep enmity with him, don’t even mention staying in Celestial Star City, even remaining in Celestial Origin Valley would be questionable..."

"Furthermore, if you can’t deliver to the master after taking his benefits..."

Hearing this, Ling Tianjun’s sinister face flashed a hint of irritation, interrupted, saying: "Hmph! Do you think I don’t want to make a move?"

"But that kid somehow managed to set up a Tier Six Divine Array on Little Turtle Peak; not even I, nor Master Jin Ao if he went personally, might break it."

"Plus, on Little Turtle Peak, high-tier cultivators often visit, including alien race Void Refining Divine Monarchs; how do you expect me to find an opportunity?"

These words were logical and reasonable, making no flaws apparent.

Even the person in the shadows was speechless for a moment...

After a long pause.

The person saw took out two items from his bosom, casually tossed them, and they transformed into two streams of light, landing precisely before Ling Tianjun.

Ling Tianjun looked closely; surprisingly, they were a dark jade bottle and a simple blue talisman.

"Inside this is a drop of Sinful Breath Profound Liquid, which has a deadly temptation to Ancient Fierce Beasts above Tier Six."

"That kid’s spirit land is near the southern wasteland; there will be someone secretly luring a fierce beast there, and you just need to pour this bottle out towards Little Turtle Peak at the crucial moment... creating the illusion of a beast attack."

"Additionally, this Tier Six Penetration Talisman can temporarily let you traverse the Mountain Protection Array, but this talisman only works once; its effect will disappear once you enter."

"With such treasures bestowed, if you can’t deal with a mere Divinity Transformation Perfection Cultivator, don’t even call yourself a Void Refining Ancestor anymore..."

Ling Tianjun reached out and took the items before him, eyes revealing a cold gleam, a smile in the corner: "Heh! You should’ve brought this out sooner."

"Since that’s the case, let Master Jin Ao expect my good news..."

The person in the shadows slowly nodded: "Very good... by the way, if anything happens, you know what to do, right?"

"Rest assured, this matter is well understood; it won’t involve anyone else, it’s all my personal business." Ling Tianjun readily agreed.

The exchange concluded between the two.

The cultivator in shadows vanished silently like a bubble.

The valley returned to silence.

Ling Tianjun returned alone to his cave mansion, looking at the twelve Zodiac Stone Statues on the ground, revealing a sinister grin: "It’s almost time, once I unlock the last statue and gain heaven-defying opportunity, Jin Ao old ghost will only fit to carry my shoes! Hmph!"

"Trying to use me, you all are still a bit too naive."

...

Time passed.

Months later.

In Little Turtle Peak Cave Mansion, Qin Ming instructed Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei:

"In the next period, I will be closing-door training; during this time, don’t disturb me regardless of who comes."

"Yes, Master, rest assured!!" Baili Hui immediately felt a tinge of awe upon hearing this.

Mo Lingwei’s expression was also complex as an extremely bold idea arose in her mind.

’Isle Master Qin... choosing this moment to close-door training, is he perhaps about to take that step?’

After instructing everyone.

Qin Ming turned and stepped into the Little Spirit Realm, glancing at Spirit Lake.

Only to see Heaven-Devouring Rat riding on Xiaoqing’s back; the two beasts were having tremendous fun.

Xiaoqing transformed into a hundred-zhang-sized star-blue whale kun, while Heaven-Devouring Rat stood on its head, directing the chase against Spirit Fish in the lake...

Seeing Qin Ming enter, Heaven-Devouring Rat hurriedly jumped down, going to greet Qin Ming.

"Heh! Master, what do you want me to do today? Just say the word."

"Oh? Rare for you to say that, looks like you’re in a good mood!" Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, gave this guy a faint look, and said.

"That’s... I’ve eaten quite a few good things lately, and as the saying goes, ’the eater’s mouth softens, and the taker’s hand slackens.’ Isn’t that what you taught me?" the Heaven-Devouring Rat said with a cheeky grin.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Next, I am about to refine an extremely important artifact, which might take some time. During this period, I need you and Tian Ling’er to help me take good care of the Spirit Medicine Garden and the Spirit Field."

"If there’s anything extremely urgent, just send a Communication Talisman."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, seeing the seriousness of the matter, realized that something extraordinary was about to be refined and nodded repeatedly.

Qin Ming stood in place, touching his chin, lost in thought.

Next.

He was going to complete the refining of the Returning Void Treasure — True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain.

Qin Ming immediately summoned Xiaoqing.

In the next moment, the True Spirit Kunpeng transformed into the size of a calf and ran towards him playfully, rubbing against his pants.

However, in the next moment.

When Qin Ming conveyed through thought that he needed a few drops of its lifebound True Spirit Essence Blood, Xiaoqing immediately showed a terrified expression, shaking its head and quickly hid behind the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

Seeing this, Qin Ming could only cough lightly, saying to it, "Don’t worry, this time I’m taking your essence blood to refine a crucial artifact that won’t harm your source."

"Just three drops will do."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat immediately understood that the master was about to take True Spirit Essence Blood to refine an artifact.

It turned around and looked at the timid and pitiful Xiaoqing, immediately feeling a sense of pity.

Thus, the Heaven-Devouring Rat showed a resolute expression.

With a tone of sacrifice, it gritted its teeth and said to Qin Ming, "Master, I also bear the True Spirit Bloodline, Xiaoqing is still young and can’t bear the blood extraction. Can you use mine instead?"

"The effect should be similar, right?"

Qin Ming was surprised to hear this, not expecting the Heaven-Devouring Rat to volunteer, truly a rare occurrence...

He thought for a moment, patted its shoulder and nodded, "That isn’t impossible, after all, the artifact I’m about to refine consists of five Divine Mountains, eventually you’ll have to donate blood along with Lan Bing Fairy."

"Not only that, if Little Silver Fox and the Profound Water Crocodile awaken their True Spirit Bloodline, they will also need their essence blood..."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was immediately startled upon hearing this!

So their master had already planned on how to obtain their essence blood?!

And it seems, no matter what, they can’t escape this fate.

However, Qin Ming’s next words almost broke its composure.

"Starting with you is also fine, but your Spirit-Devouring Race True Spirit Bloodline is not fully awakened yet, the purity and concentration have only reached about eighty percent, so this time the amount of essence blood required might be larger, I roughly estimate it’ll take a whole bucket..."

"What? A whole bucket of essence blood?!" The Heaven-Devouring Rat was so frightened that its legs immediately went weak.

In the next moment.

It suddenly leapt up, riding on Xiaoqing’s back, pressed its hand onto the back of Xiaoqing’s neck, and said with an extremely serious expression:

"Master! You’re being too polite now!"

"My True Spirit Bloodline concentration doesn’t meet the standard, and if it were to delay your great task of Artifact Refining, how could I ever live it down!"

"You’d better take Xiaoqing’s essence blood, it’s big, and has eaten a lot lately, perfect for some bloodletting..."

"Master, please hurry..."

Qin Ming: "..."

Moments later.

Within the Little Spirit Realm, Xiaoqing manifested its True Spirit Body three thousand feet tall.

Under the direction of Qin Ming, it began to offer its lifebound essence blood.

Reaching the Ancient True Spirit King’s bloodline, lifebound essence blood is often hidden deep within.

It cannot be obtained through external means unless the True Spirit willingly offers its lifebound essence blood.

Xiaoqing had been with Qin Ming for a long time and naturally understood his intentions.

Following this.

Woo~

A low and ethereal sound reverberated.

The enormous head of the True Spirit Kunpeng began to condense into a mysterious rune.

A thin seam immediately opened in the center of its brow, strands of starry blue tassels emanating a mighty wave, the unique bloodline aura of a True Spirit King!

These star blue tassels slowly gathered, forming three splendid blue water droplets in the air in front of the Kunpeng.

Each drop was like a pearl of glass, the aura of the Great Dao hitting them head on!

Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat watched from below, unable to help but show an expression of shock.

After Xiaoqing offered three drops of lifebound True Spirit Essence Blood, its enormous body began to shrink and, with a weakened aura, plopped onto the grass, its head drooping, appearing greatly weakened.

Tian Ling’er had already prepared the medicinal herbs, quickly ran over, and skillfully fed it a Tier Five High-Grade Spiritual Pill refined by Qin Ming.

Then, she began using spells to heal it.

Since Tian Ling’er had learned cultivation techniques from the Tree Spirit of the Cyan Vault Celestial Tree, coupled with her Tier Five High-Grade Transformed Spirit Plant, naturally carrying the aura of Spirit Medicine.

It also had a certain miraculous effect on restoring the source.

Next.

Giving some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to stabilize the essence and restore primordial qi, allowing Tian Ling’er to continue taking care of Xiaoqing.

Qin Ming immediately raised his hand, and three fist-sized blue True Spirit Essence Blood droplets appeared in his palm.

Just by slightly sensing, he could feel the soul of the Primordial Giant Beast, born from the Hongmeng Universe and nurtured by the Great Dao, roaring inside!

This is, as legend has it, the lifebound essence blood of the Ten Great True Spirit Kings!
