Chapter 405: Gift, Farewell

Great Jin Central Continent, Departing Heaven Immortal City.

Inside a magnificent hall, a piece of brilliance flashed, and the figures of Qin Ming and the people of the Mirror Snow Pavilion were immediately revealed.

Those in the Mirror Snow Pavilion with slightly lower cultivation were all dizzy and hadn't recovered for a long time.

Qin Ming led the way out of this teleportation hall.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoists, to Departing Heaven Immortal City!"

"Yo! So it's Shopkeeper Jia of the Mirror Snow Pavilion! Hahaha!"

The deacon guarding the hall seemed to be more familiar with Old Jia and stepped forward to greet everyone enthusiastically.

Originally, teleporting from the Five Elements Mountain market to the Central Continent territory was a long distance, and the spirit stones required for one teleportation were not cheap.

But after Qin Ming gradually migrated the Mirror Snow Pavilion's industries to Departing Heaven Immortal City, using the teleportation array here could enjoy a large discount.

Therefore, he used the most time-saving method.

After some pleasantries with the hall-guarding cultivators, Qin Ming followed Old Jia and the others to the shop established by the Mirror Snow Pavilion in the Immortal City.

The quota for this shop was obtained by Qin Ming through Elder Qian of the Departing Fire Palace via Hua Hua Tianxiong.

After all, Departing Heaven Immortal City was established by the Departing Fire Palace, and all the quotas for merchant houses to enter were strictly controlled by the Departing Fire Palace.

As the number one Immortal City in Great Jin, the prosperity and scale of this place were enough to make all forces squeeze their heads, sparing no cost to settle industries in Departing Heaven Immortal City.

This location was superior and was the center of trade in Great Jin.

Many forces had made a fortune in the Immortal City.

In Departing Heaven Immortal City, as long as there were enough spirit stones, except for some strategic resources, there was almost nothing that could not be obtained.

Once one could settle here, it could be considered entering the category of upper-middle-tier forces.

Moreover, the Immortal City had heavy troops from the Departing Fire Palace guarding it, with powerful defensive strength and extremely high safety.

Basically, no one dared to have designs on this place.

This was also a crucial point that major merchant houses valued.

Even among the top ten merchant houses of the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance, seven of them had established industries in Departing Heaven Immortal City.

It was not that just anyone could obtain the right to open a shop in Departing Heaven Immortal City.

Therefore, Old Jia admired "Shopkeeper Lu" for being able to handle such a channel so much that he threw himself to the ground.

The Mirror Snow Pavilion's shop was located in the Eastern District of Departing Heaven Immortal City, near the core area.

Whether it was the location or the surrounding flow of people, it was relatively superior in the Immortal City.

Hua Hua Tianxiong had spent a lot of thought to handle this place, begging Elder Qian of the Departing Fire Palace to pull a lot of connections.

His Thousand Machines Merchant House was also opened on a nearby street, making it convenient to move around in the future.

After two years, Old Jia had managed the shop almost well and gradually began to get on the right track.

Besides that, Departing Heaven Immortal City was also decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and people were discussing Su Su Yuqing's achievement as a Tier 4 Pill King in every street and alley.

Such a major event in the Immortal Cultivation World naturally occupied people's focus.

Even the Departing Fire Palace did not spare effort to promote it in Departing Heaven Immortal City to help him gain momentum.

After all, the Su family was separated from the Departing Fire Palace back then, and there must still be secret contact and cooperation between the two sides.

In these few days, it is estimated that everyone came for this grand event, and the number of cultivators in the Immortal City also surged, with many large forces traveling in groups in the Immortal City.

For a time, the inns in the Immortal City were overcrowded; although the accommodation price had doubled several times, it was still overcrowded.

After resting in Departing Heaven Immortal City for a day, Qin Ming led everyone, took the Mirror Snow Pavilion's magic boat, and flew to Dragon Court Lake in Central Continent without stopping.

A few days later, a huge lake came into view.

The entire Dragon Court Lake was like a blue pearl embedded on the earth.

Above the firmament, countless spiritual light traces flew past.

Various high-tier spirit carriages, demon beast-drawn carts, or giant magic boats, and all kinds of flying bird mounts with powerful auras drew colorful escape lights in the sky.

All of them highlighted the extraordinary status of their respective forces.

The Mirror Snow Pavilion came this time, only driving a medium-sized magic boat, which looked very low-key in front of these luxurious carriages and mounts.

The Mirror Snow Pavilion's magic boat moved slowly forward, not fast or slow.

Just at this moment.

A scarlet escape light flew rapidly from the outside from far to near, and it had already reached everyone's eyes in just a moment.

A large group of people rampaged in the sky, as if entering no-man's land.

The surrounding cultivators were afraid of not avoiding it in time and hurriedly retreated.

"It's the motorcade of the Jin Tian Merchant House, it's going to crash, hurry and hide!"

Inside the Mirror Snow Pavilion's magic boat, Old Jia also directed the magic boat to turn and sail to avoid friction and collision with the Jin Tian Merchant House.

But even so, the aggressively approaching Jin Tian Merchant House almost collided with the Mirror Snow Pavilion's magic boat, almost brushing past each other.

"Are you blind? Do you know how to drive a magic boat?"

A cursing voice came from the Jin Tian Merchant House's boat.

Inside the cabin, Qin Ming, who was sitting in meditation and practice, opened his eyes and asked Old Jia, who came in to report, indifferently: "What is the background of this Jin Tian Merchant House? Acting so arrogantly?"

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Lu, this Jin Tian Merchant House is the 12th largest merchant house in the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance."

"They are used to being arrogant, relying on the background of the Departing Fire Palace, but it's fine now, they have already left."

Old Jia reported truthfully.

"Hmm." Qin Ming only replied indifferently.

An incense stick of time later.

The magic boat landed in front of the Su family's mountain gate. After the major forces verified the invitation letters, they filed in and entered the Su family.

The entire Dragon Court Lake was filled with a festive atmosphere, decorated with lanterns and colored streamers everywhere, celebrating the largest grand event in history.

After entering the Su family, Qin Ming also saw Hua Hua Tianxiong who came to attend the celebration.

"Master, you have arrived too? Hehe!"

"The last few spirit materials you ordered me to collect have all been collected. After the celebration, I will find a separate opportunity to give them to you."

Hua Hua Tianxiong secretly transmitted his voice to Qin Ming through the black talisman.

"Very good, you did well." Qin Ming praised him back. In this way, all the spirit materials he needed to refine the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill could be said to have been collected.

The celebration venue was set up in an extremely wide square of the Su family, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators to watch the ceremony.

On the square, dense seats had been placed for forces from all sides to take their seats.

After taking their seats, Qin Ming found that the major forces in the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World that could be ranked were also entering one after another.

Including the other three of the four major Jin Dan families in Great Jin, and even the Departing Fire Palace sent several representatives to congratulate.

And it was Elder Qian, the highly respected Departing Fire Palace Master, who came personally.

Qin Ming also saw Hua Hua Tianxiong's "big backer" for the first time. He saw Elder Qian dressed in a gray robe, his hair tied with a wooden crown, his attire extremely simple, his face indifferent, and he was imposing without being angry.

Elder Qian and others were welcomed into the top seats, which was a matter of course.

The high-level officials of the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance also sent representatives of Jin Dan Consummation.

Qin Ming even saw Elder Jin Han; it looked like he had recovered after being seriously injured last time.

Just as Qin Ming and others were sitting and waiting for the celebration to begin.

A group of people walked over, and cultivators dressed in Jin Tian Merchant House attire walked over.

Among them, a young cultivator in a brocade robe leading the group said to Old Jia with a smile:

"Excuse me, this is the seat of the Mirror Snow Pavilion, right?"

"My Jin Tian Merchant House has some extra manpower, and there are not enough seats. Can your merchant house vacate a table?"

Hearing this, Qin Ming's brows could not help but frown. When they came in earlier, they almost collided with their magic boat, and at this moment, they were clearly looking for trouble.

Old Jia was also very annoyed, so he refused directly: "Lu Huayuan, the seats in this pavilion are already full, you should please go elsewhere."

Old Jia clearly knew the cultivators of the Jin Tian Merchant House.

And the people of the Jin Tian Merchant House also saw that the Mirror Snow Pavilion had just moved into Departing Heaven Immortal City and had no background or foundation, so they wanted to knock them down.

Just when the young man surnamed Lu of the Jin Tian Merchant House was about to get an inch and ask for a foot.

A fat Jin-robed cultivator, surrounded by a pile of cultivators, paced to the front of the crowd.

The person who came was Hua Hua Tianxiong. When it came to being arrogant and domineering, I am afraid that no one in Great Jin was more horizontal than him.

It was just that in recent years, he had been much more low-key.

Lu Huayuan of the Jin Tian Merchant House, as soon as he saw Hua Hua Tianxiong walking over, immediately changed into a fawning face and stepped forward to flatter: "Yo! President Hua has also arrived."

Hua Hua Tianxiong ignored him, slapped Lu Huayuan directly on the face, and scolded directly: "Surname Lu, others dare not discipline you, but I dare!"

"I have long been displeased with you. Look at your virtue; if I don't knock you down, you are almost going to heaven."

"Don't you know that the Mirror Snow Pavilion is now my partner?"

Lu Huayuan was stunned on the spot, his brain buzzing.

No matter how powerful the Jin Tian Merchant House was, it did not dare to provoke this great god Hua Hua Tianxiong.

Not only because Hua Hua Tianxiong was backed by Elder Qian of the Departing Fire Palace, but also because successive demon cultivators had died inexplicably after chasing Hua Hua Tianxiong.

The last time, even in the situation where the Demon Gate Holy Son died, Hua Hua Tianxiong could return safely.

Yet no effective evidence could be found.

So much so that the outside world's speculation about his real strength had reached an incredible level.

Even, some people had begun to respectfully call Hua Hua Tianxiong the "Southern Wilderness God of War"! With the appearance of Hua Hua Tianxiong, the people of the Jin Tian Merchant House dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, not to mention that it was at the Su family's celebration, and they did not dare to act presumptuously. So they took people away in a gray manner.

Subsequently, Hua Hua Tianxiong piled up a smiling face and sat down beside Qin Ming.

Old Jia was also pleasantly surprised, not expecting that Shopkeeper Lu could have cooperative contact with the Thousand Machines Merchant House, one of the top ten merchant houses of the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance.

This was just a small episode, and soon the Pill King celebration began.

Su Su Yuqing, dressed in white, appeared in the spotlight.

When Qin Ming came, he had already sent him a message, and at this time, it was just eye contact.

Immediately after.

With the singing of the master of ceremonies, the forces that came to watch the ceremony and congratulate presented congratulatory gifts one after another.

In order to befriend Su Su Yuqing, this Tier 4 Pill King, various spirit materials that were rarely seen in the Immortal Cultivation World were presented one after another.

Even Qin Ming could not help but click his tongue; such wealth was simply not comparable to those forces in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World.

Su Su Yuqing, as the protagonist of this grand event, only showed his face slightly and then disappeared.

It was mainly relying on the Su family patriarch to socialize.

Qin Ming smiled; he had actually expected it long ago. With Su Su Yuqing's temperament, if it weren't for the family's coercion, he probably wouldn't even hold this so-called Pill King celebration.

The celebration was still going on lively.

After eating and drinking at the seat for a while, Qin Ming received Su Su Yuqing's voice transmission:

"Brother Qin, please come to my cave dwelling for a chat."

Immediately, Qin Ming stood up and said to Old Jia: "You guys eat, I'll go and return."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Lu, please go ahead." Old Jia's expression was shocked; he also knew that Qin Ming must have gone to handle official business.

With Hua Hua Tianxiong sitting here, no one dared to have designs on the Mirror Snow Pavilion again.

Half an incense stick of time later.

Qin Ming went all the way without obstruction and entered Su Su Yuqing's cave dwelling courtyard directly.

"Brother Su, long time no see, congratulations on your promotion to the Tier 4 Pill King realm." Qin Ming handed over two jade boxes and a jar of Demon Flame Wine with a smile, "This is a little bit of Qin's congratulatory gift."

Su Su Yuqing smiled faintly; he was not polite to Qin Ming at all.

"Oh? Let me see what good things Brother Qin has sent me again."

Su Su Yuqing opened the two jade boxes and looked, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"Nascent Soul Fruit! Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Saliva!"

What was contained in the jade box was exactly these two things.

After counting these two major main ingredients, Su Su Yuqing's main ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill were also collected. As for the remaining auxiliary ingredients, with his connections, it is estimated that it is not difficult to get them.

Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Saliva only needs to be mixed in a little when refining pills, and Qin Ming had a whole bottle, sharing dozens of drops with him.

"Brother Qin, you this..."

Even though Su Su Yuqing had a broad vision, he was shocked by Qin Ming's big handwriting.

"Hehe! Didn't Brother Su also give me the Taiyi Bodhi?"

"These two spirit objects were also obtained by chance under some opportunity. Today is your happy day, you just accept them." Qin Ming explained.

"Then I will accept it with a smile, hehehe!"

Su Su Yuqing put away the two major spirit materials.

However, what shocked him even more was still to come.

Su Su Yuqing weighed the spirit wine jar in his hand and asked Qin Ming with curiosity:

"Demon Flame Wine? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? Could it be that the taste is even more wonderful than your Jade Scale Wine?"

Qin Ming smiled freely, "Brother Su will know after tasting it."

"This wine is a Tier 3 top-grade spirit wine, far exceeding Jade Scale Wine, and was brewed by me using the demon pill of that Green-Faced Poison Flood Dragon."

"When this wine is drunk for the first time, it can help you break through to the Jin Dan Consummation realm."

Once these words came out.

Su Su Yuqing's brain was blank, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"You... you said what?!"

"Brother Qin, you are not bluffing me, are you?"

Su Su Yuqing looked at Qin Ming with disbelief and muttered.

Qin Ming's mouth curled into a smile, and then he slightly released and revealed a trace of his Jin Dan Consummation realm magic power.

Su Su Yuqing's eyes widened suddenly, "Jin Dan Consummation, Brother Qin, you..."

He couldn't believe that Qin Ming's cultivation had run ahead of his own.

At this very moment, Su Su Yuqing was deeply convinced of the effect of the Demon Flame Wine.

"I didn't expect... the effect of spirit wine could actually reach such a level."

"The high-tier pills I refined couldn't do this."

"Brother Qin, you are always unexpected!"

"Even the high-tier elixirs I refine cannot achieve this."

Suddenly.

Su Su Yuqing sealed the wine jar, pondered slightly, and asked uncertainly:

"Brother Qin, you sent me so many things at once, could it be that you are preparing to leave?"

Qin Ming's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded lightly, stating his thoughts:

"That's right. Besides coming to celebrate Brother Su's achievement as a Tier 4 Pill King, Qin is also here to say goodbye."

"I have almost collected the materials for refining the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill, and I am preparing to return to the Southern Wilderness to plan for the Nascent Soul condensation."
