Qin Ming directly fed it to his lifebound Spirit Plant, the Immortal Vine. As the black tendrils danced, its growth progress increased significantly once more.

In the future, the essence of wood cultivated through alchemy can fatten the lifebound Spirit Plant. Qin Ming no longer needs to seek out and slay Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivators.

A wisp of the essence of wood’s spiritual mechanism is equivalent to a Nascent Soul-level Blood Pearl.

"Constant fighting and killing are not good. After all, Nascent Soul Cultivators are rare in number; there aren’t many available for gathering Blood Pearls."

Then.

Qin Ming put away the two Dragon Ascending Pills, took one out, ingested it, and began cultivating immediately.

An immensely vast and pure medicinal power dissolved within his body, continuously converging towards the Nascent Soul.

He immediately activated the "Cyan Emperor Technique," refining the medicinal power within the Spirit Pill.

Time passed, and the seasons changed.

A year later.

A vast mana aura resonated from Qin Ming’s body, echoing with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The illusory shadow of the Cyan Emperor Wood Emperor Sacred Body behind him grew another foot taller.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Tier Four Spirit Vein on Wangyue Island was absorbed like water by a giant whale, continuously transforming and becoming part of Qin Ming’s Nascent Soul Dharma Power.

"The 13th Layer of the ’Cyan Emperor Technique’!"

"I never expected you to cultivate this core inheritance technique of the Cyan Origin Sect to such a profound level!"

Qingyang the Old Demon revealed a look of disbelief.

"After the 9th Layer of the ’Cyan Emperor Technique,’ it becomes increasingly difficult to break through. Could it be due to the Great Success of the Cyan Emperor Wood Emperor Sacred Body?"

Qin Ming put away the Cultivation Technique, slightly sensing the progress of the refined Nascent Soul Dharma Power within himself, already reaching one-third towards the Mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Such rapid progress.

In the entire Cultivation Realm, only he could achieve this.

"This Dragon Ascending Pill is truly extraordinary. Its medicinal power is even stronger than the Purifying Void Pill of the Penglai Sect. I wonder which Ancient Great Power created it."

"This pill is probably the most effective among the Spiritual Pills for advancing Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, and it can even affect the Late-stage Nascent Soul."

Having personally experienced the cultivation changes brought by the Dragon Ascending Pill, Qin Ming immediately gave it a highly favorable evaluation.

Besides that, Qin Ming took some time to brew the two Tier Four Demon Pills obtained from the Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly into Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid, ensuring an ample supply of Spirit Wine.

After the cultivation, Qin Ming was in high spirits.

He walked out of the Cave Mansion to the outside, took out a set of wine utensils, poured the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid, and began to leisurely enjoy the Spirit Wine.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, while working, smelled the aroma of the wine and quickly abandoned the Divine Hoe, coming to Qin Ming’s side to assist him in pouring the wine.

Enjoying the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s massage, Qin Ming was not stingy and rewarded him with a few cups of Spirit Wine.

Then.

Qin Ming suddenly remembered something and immediately sent a message, summoning Mo Lingwei to the island.

A moment later.

A green Escape Light descended from afar onto the main peak.

"Ling Wei pays respects to Lord Island Master!"

Qin Ming glanced at her, noticing that her advancement in Golden Core cultivation was quite quick, likely due to the enhancement of the Spirit Body.

While her Phoenix Body doesn’t contribute as much to cultivation as other Spirit Bodies, it is still an extremely rare and special constitution.

Qin Ming originally planned to use her special constitution to break through to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, but now it seems unnecessary.

If she survives until his breakthrough to the Late-stage Nascent Soul, maybe she could still be of help.

Nonetheless, she proved to be a capable subordinate. At the very least, Mo Lingwei managed Wangyue Island efficiently over these decades.

Qin Ming was very satisfied.

"I have been in secluded cultivation for years; what’s the current situation with the demonic descent in the Cultivation Realm?" Qin Ming asked casually while sitting under the Spiritual Peach Tree.

Mo Lingwei raised her head to see a plump child standing on a stone stool, diligently massaging Qin Ming’s shoulders.

For a Tier Four Demon Saint to be so attentively serving someone, only the True Monarch Wangyue could achieve that.

She quickly bowed and replied, "Reporting to Lord Island Master, except for our situation in the Southern Wilderness being slightly better, other places are not optimistic, facing a second wave of demonic descent invasion."

"In some areas, massive void anomalies have opened, and the demonic qi pollution has turned them into uninhabitable zones."

"However, according to intelligence from Alliance Leader Wei, the East Sea Cultivation Realm and Northern Cold Cultivation Realm’s Divinity Transformation Sects have secretly found some Void Passages leading to the Blood Realm and have begun implementing actions."

"The pressure from the demonic invasions in these two Cultivation Realms has significantly reduced, indicating some success in their actions within the Blood Realm."

"Perhaps only such Divinity Transformation Sects can reverse the declining trend in the Human Realm."

Qin Ming listened thoughtfully and nodded.

He then took out a bottle of Divine Wood Pills for Golden Core Stage use, flicked it with his finger, and it floated in front of her, "You’ve worked hard managing the Spirit Island all these years; accept this bottle of Divine Wood Pills."

"Strive to reach Mid-stage Golden Core soon."

Mo Lingwei accepted the jade bottle and gratefully exclaimed, "Thank you, Lord Island Master, for your generous gift!"

She had heard of this legendary Golden Core Stage pill.

It is a Spiritual Pill from ancient legends.

In the Star Moon Market, one was auctioned off, personally refined by Great Jin’s Su Yuqing the Pill King, fetching an astronomical price.

Cultivators like her, with modest backgrounds, could only aspire to it.
