Chapter 300: Chapter 282: Heaven-Devouring Rat’s Advancement

Early morning mist, with the rising sun.

The surface of Wangyue Lake was draped in a veil of misty gauze, reflecting the morning sun, refracting a rainbow of hues, dreamlike and illusory.

After completing his daily cultivation, Qin Ming stepped out of his cave mansion.

After the Golden Core Ceremony concluded, various strange and mysterious events that occurred on Wangyue Island began to spread within the cultivation realm of Wei Country.

Among them, what people delighted to talk about was the presence of Golden Core Ancestors from the four countries to offer their congratulations, making the grand occasion highly prestigious.

This was enough to demonstrate the significance and influence of Qin Ming, the newly advanced Golden Core Cultivator, among various factions.

Of course, this excluded the Lingyun Sect which was currently invading Wei Country.

The most shocking event for the cultivators was none other than Elder Qingxuan from Profound Creek Valley personally coming, as well as the envoy from the Nascent Soul Sect Lihuo Palace paying a visit.

These explosive topics quickly spread to other parts of the cultivation realm.

As a result, the reputation of "Master Wangyue" soared to heights difficult for future generations to reach, even being called the most inspirational Legendary Cultivator in the Wei Country cultivation realm in centuries.

Qin Ming walked outside the cave mansion, sat on the stone bench beneath the Spiritual Peach Tree, and called over the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, drooling, was watching Wu Jiang tally and verify the gifts received at the grand ceremony.

Upon hearing Qin Ming’s call, it perked up and swiftly came to Qin Ming’s presence.

"Hehe! Master, what do you need from me?"

Qin Ming immediately took out a Golden Core from the storage pouch, which was the High-Grade Golden Core left behind when Linghu Yang died without the chance to self-destruct.

The Golden Core is the essence of a Human Race Cultivator’s cultivation; a Demon Beast consuming it would naturally benefit greatly.

Seeing this item, the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes gleamed, and it instantly stood upright.

It had been eagerly awaiting this moment with great anticipation.

"After devouring this Golden Core, you should be able to reach the Tier Three Mid-Stage, right?" Qin Ming casually tossed the Golden Core to the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat carefully caught the Golden Core, speaking excitedly, "Thank you, Master, for your generosity!"

"I only lack the final chance to break through, and consuming this Golden Core should suffice."

"Hmm, you deserve it. By the way, how long will it take for you to completely digest this Golden Core?"

"Because I might need to leave to handle something." Qin Ming asked calmly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Since I promised Wei Wuya regarding the Lingyun Sect issue, I must fulfill it."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat thought for a moment, "It will probably take about half a year."

"Good, you may go." Qin Ming nodded.

Subsequently, the Heaven-Devouring Rat joyfully held the Golden Core and went off to prepare for its breakthrough.

After it left.

Qin Ming took out another Golden Core from the storage pouch.

This Golden Core was the Low-Grade Golden Core of Yanf the Demon.

"Should I give this Golden Core to the Profound Water Crocodile or Silver-winged Frost Bee?"

Qin Ming pondered as he held the Golden Core, finally deciding to feed it to the Profound Water Crocodile.

After all, it possessed a Celestial-Grade Bloodline, making its chances of breaking through to the Tier Three Demon King higher.

As for the Silver-winged Frost Bee, it would have more opportunities in the future, and since Spirit Bees were influenced by the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine, its future potential would not be lacking.

Immediately, Qin Ming summoned the Profound Water Crocodile over and gave Yanf the Demon’s Golden Core to it.

The Profound Water Crocodile, with the Golden Core in its mouth, showed a look of excitement and swayed its head as it crawled back to its lair to digest the Golden Core.

After doing all this.

Qin Ming went to the storeroom door, seeing Wu Jiang meticulously verifying the gift list according to the record book.

"Lord Island Master, all the gift lists have been verified accurately without any errors."

"Take a look!"

Facing Qin Ming, Wu Jiang no longer bore his past flippancy.

After all, Qin Ming had become a Golden Core Master, and the situation was not as it used to be.

In the cultivation realm, ranks were strictly hierarchal, so Wu Jiang dared not overstep even slightly.

Thus, he was extremely respectful in front of Qin Ming.

During the Golden Core Ceremony, Wu Jiang had become a focus of attention among various factions.

The outside cultivators were envious to the point of death.

Even many powerful factions secretly came to curry favor with this newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Nonetheless, Wu Jiang precisely knew his boundaries and remained honest and prudent about what he should and shouldn’t do.

"Hmm, well done."

"You may go about your business."

Qin Ming briefly glanced at the gift list, then at the dazzling array of treasures in the room, nodding in satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, all the treasures in the room disappeared, collected into the storage pouch.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and then stretched out his hand, a small ancient purple cauldron, the size of a palm, appeared in his palm.

"Tier Three High-Grade Alchemy Furnace, Wind Thunder Cauldron."

"Lihuo Palace was truly willing to pay a high price."

Afterward, Qin Ming refined the Wind Thunder Cauldron; in the future, he could use this cauldron for crafting High-Tier Pills.

The Wind Thunder Cauldron changed size at will in his hand, then with a spin, transformed into a large cauldron and settled on the ground.

The Tier Three High-Grade Alchemy Furnace naturally provided an enhancement to alchemy.

Not only that, but it could also withstand the long-term burning of Tier Three Spirit Fire.

In addition, the Wind Thunder Cauldron also served as a Tier Three High-Grade defensive Artifact, capable of withstanding Golden Core Level attacks.

However, for Qin Ming, who possessed the True Extreme Body, it was just an additional advantage.

Qin Ming put away the refined Wind Thunder Cauldron.

Then, he thought of something and took out those two Copper Mirror fragments.

He asked the Artifact Spirit, "By the way, Golden Spirit, how can the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror Artifact be repaired?"

"This treasure... cannot be repaired using ordinary Artifact Refining methods."

The wooden voice of the Golden Spirit sounded.

Qin Ming couldn’t help but furrow his brows upon hearing this, knowing he had gone through a lot of effort to obtain this item.

"So, there are still methods for repairing it?"

"Yes, this mirror must be repaired in the Thunder Cleansing Pool of the Cyan Origin Sect, also needing assistance from the Heaven-Repairing Soul Fire Liquid, along with the Treasure Refining Technique I provided."

Golden Spirit’s tone was completely unperturbed as it explained.

"Thunder Cleansing Pool? Where am I supposed to find it?"

"Why does it have to be the Thunder Cleansing Pool of the Cyan Origin Sect?" Qin Ming was quite puzzled.

"Because this Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror artifact... was originally the supreme treasure of the Cyan Origin Sect, and not crafted by Master White Bone."

"He later obtained it by a stroke of luck."

"And the Cyan Origin Sect... has long ceased to exist, but the Thunder Cleansing Pool remains."

Golden Spirit told Qin Ming a specific location.

Qin Ming asked, "Are you sure the Thunder Cleansing Pool of the Cyan Origin Sect is located in the area near Liang Country of the Beast Roar Mountain Range?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

"This mirror was obtained from there by Master White Bone back in the day. Ordinary people are unaware of the details within."

"Even during his lifetime, he guarded this secret from us disciples with tight lips."

"It was only after he refined me into an Artifact Spirit that he accidentally let it slip."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming thought deeply, "Then it seems... I’ll have to make another trip to the Beast Roar Mountain Range."

This legendary Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror artifact is a Tier Three Top-Grade Treasure. Once successfully refined, it can sweep the Golden Core Stage invincibly.

Qin Ming naturally coveted it greatly and was determined to find a way to repair this treasure and refine it into his second Lifebound Artifact.

Golden Spirit further said to him, "By the way, I observed earlier that you already possess a rather remarkable Tier Three Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire."

"You can fuse this spirit fire with the Samadhi True Flame of the Golden Core Stage, which should be able to further elevate the fire’s grade."

"When you repair the treasure mirror, it will certainly come in handy."

Qin Ming nodded in agreement. Even if Golden Spirit hadn’t mentioned it, he intended to do so.

Afterward, he returned to the cave mansion and opened his mouth to spray forth.

The Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame and the Samadhi True Flame flew out.

Qin Ming began to use the spell to merge the two Tier Three spirit fires together.

As both spirit fires were intimately connected to him, the fusion process was smooth.

Three days later.

Chirp!

In Qin Ming’s cave mansion, a Cyan Simurgh Firebird, appearing quite mystical, with long azure flaming wings, danced and hovered around him.

The Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame exuded terrifying power, illuminating the entire cave with a deep cyan hue.

"Tier Three High-Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire!"

"Comparable to a powerful Divine Technique."

Qin Ming gazed at the upgraded Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This way, the power of this trump card had increased significantly.

Qin Ming raised his hand, and the Cyan Simurgh Firebird landed in his palm. He then opened his mouth, swallowed it back into his Dantian for continued nurturing.

"My Mana Cultivation has already formed a Flawless Golden Core, a one-in-ten-thousand rarity, equivalent to the mid-stage Golden Core Mana."

"My Body Refining Cultivation has also achieved the True Body Pill. Coupled with the True Extreme Body, it far surpasses ordinary Tier Three Demon Kings. Even among the royal lineage of Demon Beasts, a head-on clash with my flesh would result in them shattering instantly..."

"My Divine Thought has also broken through to the level comparable to the late-stage Golden Core..."

"Along with the Tier Three Top-Grade Wood Emperor Nail artifact and the Tier Three High-Grade Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame."

"No one below the late-stage Golden Core can pose a threat to me anymore..."

"Not to mention the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror. If I restore it... wouldn’t that be..."

Qin Ming stroked his chin, silently counting his trump cards.

He instantly felt a surge of heroic confidence.

"After so many years of toil and farming, it hasn’t been easy!"

"Finally, I feel a bit of security."

"Alright, back to farming then."

Qin Ming took out the Divine Hoe, walked out of the cave mansion, and tilled the Spirit Field atop the main peak once more.

Subsequently, he retrieved over a dozen Tier Three Spirit Seeds emitting a jade-like luster from his storage pouch.

These were the Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice Spirit Seeds that Yuwen Hong had given him.

Looking at the Tier Three Spirit Seeds in his hand, Qin Ming thought of Yuwen Hong’s fate, feeling a wave of sighs.

After planting the Spirit Seeds, he performed the Great Five Elements Technique once again, bringing down Spiritual Rain for the seeds, leaving the rest to patiently wait for growth.

Later, Qin Ming arrived before the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui in the core of Spirit Island, took out fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones, and fed them to it.

After consuming such a large number of High-Grade Spirit Stones, the massive flesh mound of Taisui continued to grow.

An hour later, the Taisui expelled a wave of astonishing spiritual energy as Spirit Marrow Ore, continuously infusing into the island’s Spirit Vein.

The environment of the Spirit Vein atop the main peak of Wangyue Island changed dramatically, suddenly elevated to Tier Three High-Grade level.

Qin Ming felt the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the air, comparable to the spiritual energy environment on Vast Sea Peak, a faint smile playing on his lips.

...

Time passed faintly. Half a year later.

A spiritual energy vortex five miles wide rapidly gathered on Wangyue Island.

It surged in a funnel-like shape, pouring into a cave on the island.

Following this, an astonishing demonic power descended on the main peak, connecting heaven and earth.

"Hahaha! This grandmaster has finally broken through to Tier Three Mid-Stage!"

"Who else?!"

An outrageously arrogant laugh echoed, but before the Heaven-Devouring Rat could truly revel in its victory for too long.

Rumble!

A peal of thunder crashed!

Above its head, a dark tribulation cloud instantly took shape.

Crack!

A silver lightning bolt flared, a thick lightning pillar striking down hard at the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

"Crap, I wasn’t even talking about you!"

...
