Chapter 279: An Envoy from the Li Li Huogong

Just as Qin Ming was thinking this.

In an instant.

Within the origin of his Golden Core in his dantian, the rune into which his Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin-Yang Profound Vine, had fallen, suddenly spread a wisp of Yin and Yang qi.

It immediately floated upward, separating and swirling into Qin Ming's pupils.

Back when he had formed his Golden Core, it was precisely due to the mutation of his Natal Spirit Plant that he achieved a Flawless Golden Core.

Above the Upper Grade Jin Dan, there exists the Flawless Jin Dan.

Such a quality of Jin Dan is a rarity seen once in ten thousand years even within Nascent Soul sects.

As long as he does not perish midway, there is a one hundred percent chance of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Jin Dan realm.

A ninety percent chance of breaking through to the late-stage of the Jin Dan realm.

A seventy percent chance of breaking through to the peak of the Jin Dan realm.

And even a thirty percent chance of assaulting the Nascent Soul stage.

In a Nascent Soul sect, such a person would be cultivated as a Nascent Soul seed.

It could be said that the gates of the Nascent Soul realm have already opened wide for Qin Ming.

And at this moment, this silver rune underwent another change.

The Yin and Yang qi, entwined with an aura of time, like two Yin-Yang fish, fell into Qin Ming's pupils.

This caused a shift in Qin Ming's vision; he saw that Elder Qingxuan's body was filled with an endless, verdant vitality that kept spreading.

However, near his dantian's sea of qi, a wisp of black air lingered, seemingly some kind of extremely difficult-to-remove peculiar poison.

Fortunately, under Elder Qingxuan's powerful vitality, this wisp of black air was being continuously cleared and shrinking.

But Elder Yuheng beside him was different; although he appeared normal on the outside, in truth, his interior was utterly dim, with the green vitality reduced to a mere tiny fragment.

Like a faint glimmer swaying in wind and rain, about to be extinguished at any moment.

'It seems Elder Qingxuan indeed sustained injuries during his clash with the Green-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon, but the wounds were not heavy; over these past few years, he has almost fully recovered.'

'In contrast, Elder Yuheng has no physical injuries, but it seems that when encountering the Golden Toad Demon King, he must have employed some secret technique that greatly consumes lifespan; I fear his days are numbered.'

The two ancestors traveled ten thousand li personally to offer congratulations; their purpose must be more than just congratulating him.

It is estimated that after the Jin Dan ceremony concludes, the two ancestors will have matters to discuss with him.

Qin Ming then glanced at the cultivators present, seeing that the vitality within each of them was entirely different. "After breaking through to the Golden Core, it seems my Natal Spirit Plant, the Yin-Yang Profound Vine, has also birthed a Golden Core divine ability secret technique and bestowed it upon me."

'Since it allows me to sense and clearly see life auras, let us call it the Yin-Yang Profound Mirror.'

Subsequently, the two ancestors of Profound Creek Valley also presented their congratulatory gifts.

"From Liang Kingdom's Profound Creek Valley: twenty Upper Grade spirit stones, three third-grade pill formulas, one piece of third-grade Dragon Marrow Cold Gold, and two third-grade spirit herbs. Presented by Elder Qingxuan!"

The arrival of these two heavyweight figures brought Qin Ming's celebration to the height of grandeur.

Just imagine, which Jin Dan cultivator's ceremony could invite late-stage Jin Dan great cultivators to attend as guests?

It is estimated that only True Person Wangyue could manage such a feat.

The Jin Dan ceremony proceeded in full swing.

Rare treasures of dazzling variety were presented one after another.

"My hands are numb from receiving! Truly numb!"

"Master has truly struck it rich this time," observed Shi Tian Shu from the shadows, his rat eyes bulging wide.

"From Qilian Merchant House: five thousand Mid-Grade spirit stones and three second-grade Upper Grade spirit materials. Congratulating True Person Wangyue on the great achievement of forming his Jin Dan!"

"From the Feng family of Yunze Xiancheng: two thousand Mid-Grade spirit stones and one second-grade Upper Grade spirit material. Congratulating True Person Wangyue on the great achievement of forming his Jin Dan! Presented by Feng Sihai!"

"From Lu Wanjun: three second-grade spirit materials. Wishing True Person Wangyue longevity and an unobstructed path on the Immortal Dao."

Feng Sihai never dreamed that one day he would appear at such a solemn occasion.

As the only Foundation Establishment family invited from Yunze Xiancheng, he felt a sense of bringing glory to his ancestors and finally holding his head high.

Feng Sihai and Lu Wanjun were specifically invited by Gu Qingzhao at Qin Ming's behest, after all, they shared a bond from fate.

Just as everyone thought.

That today's most heavyweight guest could be none other than Elder Qingxuan of Profound Creek Valley.

Far beyond the spiritual energy Archipelago, hundreds of li away in the sky.

A purple-gold spiritual light carriage, adorned with dragon and phoenix spiritual pattern reliefs, hung with curtains woven from silk produced by spiritual birds and strange insects, was pulled forward by six large, sturdy white spiritual vulture beasts. The coachman driving at the front was a black-faced burly man dressed plainly, possessing late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Seated inside the precious carriage was a middle-aged cultivator clad in a golden-threaded jade robe, whose cultivation had remarkably reached the late-stage of the Jin Dan realm.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes to rest.

The black-faced coachman turned his head to glance inside the carriage and reported respectfully:

"Elder Zhou Yu, we have arrived at Wangyue Island."

The middle-aged man in the jade robe, named Zhou Yu, slowly opened his eyes.

"How many years has it been? In the past few hundred years of the Southern Wild Immortal Realm, another Dandao Sect Grandmaster has emerged, and as a rogue cultivator, he aspired to form a Jin Dan; I too wish to pay my respects to the fame of True Person Wangyue."

Half an incense stick later.

The Spiritual Vulture Precious Carriage arrived above Wangyue Island.

In that instant, the gazes of all cultivators converged upon the precious carriage in the sky.

"Too magnificent, isn't it?"

"Six second-grade late-stage great demons pulling the carriage; what a display."

"Which faction's emblem is this?"

"Why have I never seen it before?"

"Who is sitting inside? Could it be another Jin Dan ancestor?"

"I fear another formidable figure has arrived."

"True Person Wangyue truly possesses extensive connections!"

In the throne at the head, Qin Ming rose once more; he had a premonition that this time, a truly formidable and powerful figure had likely arrived.

Just then.

Below, Elder Qingxuan, gazing up at the jade palanquin, spoke with considerable surprise:

"The Brother Li Huo Palace of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty; I did not expect them to arrive so quickly."

Boom! Upon hearing his words, the cultivators in the vicinity instantly erupted into an uproar.

Some were utterly astonished, some fell silent as winter cicadas, and still others revealed expressions of excitement.

"An envoy from Brother Li Huo Palace!"

"Is it true or false?"

"A Nascent Soul supreme sect has actually sent someone to Wangyue Island to observe the ceremony!"

"Hasn't it been several thousand years since Brother Li Huo Palace last sent an envoy to the Southern Desolation?!"

"Could it be that True Person Qin has caught the eye of a Nascent Soul sect?"

"They have come to take True Person Qin away."

"No wonder True Person Qin previously disdained joining any faction; it turns out he was waiting for this moment."

"To witness the appearance of the legendary supreme envoy from Brother Li Huo Palace makes this journey worthwhile! Hahaha!"

"Alas! How wonderful it would be if I were True Person Qin! This is a Nascent Soul sect; the opportunities this time are limitless."

"It is said that the resources of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty are abundant and its spiritual energy plentiful, far beyond what the Southern Desolation Immortal Realm can compare to."

"The level of cultivation there is also much higher than in the Southern Desolation."

"Alas, I wish to go as well."

"The problem is, Brother Li Huo Palace does not deem me worthy!"

With such a colossus as Brother Li Huo Palace having arrived, Qin Ming and the several Jin Dan elders present all rose to welcome them.

True Person Canghai and Wei Wei Wuya exchanged a glance, then shared a wry smile.

The carriage curtain parted, and out stepped a middle-aged man clad in a golden-threaded jade robe; his face was as clean and white as jade, and every gesture exuded an air of nobility.

It was a unique aura naturally formed by one in a position of power over a long period.

With this person's appearance, the breath of every cultivator in the entire plaza caught in their throats.

They could clearly sense that although the jade-robed middle-aged man from Brother Li Huo Palace, like Elder Qingxuan, possessed late-stage Jin Dan cultivation,

the one before them was clearly a cut above.

"Brother Li Huo Palace congratulates True Person Qin on achieving the Jin Dan!"
