I wish to purchase some powerful items for protection—do you have any recommendations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingzhao smiled calmly and spoke with a breath as fragrant as orchids: “Of course I do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she took several items from her storage pouch and laid them before Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Thunder Seeds—single-use consumables; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator must avoid their sharp edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talisman Treasure: Golden Spirit Brick—still usable three times, its power equals a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming spent a vast sum of spirit stones to purchase five Yin Thunder Seeds and the Golden Spirit Brick talisman treasure; his pouch’s spirit stones shrank by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it still wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he put away the items on the table, he casually asked Gu Qingzhao: “By the way, Gu Daoist, I’d like to ask you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How strong is Elder Huangfu within your pavilion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingzhao’s expression flickered with slight surprise at the question, but she answered plainly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Huangfu is the strongest of our pavilion’s three protectors in Wei State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without exaggeration, though his cultivation base is only mid-Foundation Establishment, his strength ranks among the top ten among all Foundation Establishment cultivators in Wei State.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought Huangfu Qi, with his refined demeanor, was so formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ming now had a clearer sense of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He concluded his transaction with Gu Qingzhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reached the first-floor lobby, he heard disciples from a sect gossiping over drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, we’ve been stuck in this godforsaken place for over half a year—why hasn’t our sect ordered us to seize that third-rank spirit vein yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! We can’t just sit here doing nothing forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you idiots?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever moves first against that third-rank spirit vein will have the upper sect’s blade fall on their head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at Lingyu Gate and Jinyun Valley—they’ve taken control of the vein, but dare they openly exploit its resources?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know your own strength? Is a third-rank spirit vein or an ancient ruin something so easily taken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why the upper sect, though aware of the third-rank spirit vein, hasn’t sent anyone to Yunze Wildlands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re waiting for someone to lose patience and jump out—ready to kill one to warn a hundred!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming paused only slightly in his steps, then left Juxuan Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “upper sect” those sect disciples mentioned—Qin Ming knew exactly who they meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wei State, Lei Yuanzong, with its Jin Dan elder ancestor in residence, was the undisputed dominant power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It governed seven second-tier forces: Lingyu Gate, Jinyun Valley, Baihua Sect, Shennong Sect, and three other cultivation families with False Core cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s own cultivation family belonged to the third-tier forces; such families could produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator generation after generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even with the entire Qin family’s resources, they could barely cultivate just one Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them were countless Qi Refining families and other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingzhao had already hinted to him that the current bizarre situation was very likely orchestrated by Lei Yuanzong. None of the seven second-tier forces dared move on the third-rank spirit vein or the ancient ruins because Lei Yuanzong had yet to declare its stance—everyone was holding back, afraid to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they could only turn their attention to lone cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because who knew? A third-tier faction, possibly sanctioned by the upper sect, might be lurking in the shadows, ready to replace one of the seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the situation in Yunze Wildlands had settled into a delicate stalemate—no one wished to be the first to break the balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because whoever moved first against this prize would likely be targeted and destroyed by a coalition of other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming directly left Qingyang Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mounted his Spirit Light Shuttle and headed straight for Yunmeng Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour of high-speed flight, he arrived at Yunmeng Mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed on the mountainside and reported his presence to the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the guards returned, speaking with deep respect: “Daoist Qin, Elder Huangfu requests your presence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his memory from last time, Qin Ming quickly reached Huangfu Qi’s cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forbidden array at the entrance rippled, revealing an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the study pavilion, Huangfu Qi was practicing calligraphy with a brush, his strokes bold and fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Ming arrive, he set down his brush and warmly greeted: “Young Qin is here! Come, come—take a look at my new calligraphy today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming respectfully bowed to him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped forward and studied the characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he couldn’t tell much from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent characters! Graceful as a startled swan, agile as a roaming dragon—truly rich in ink, powerful in stroke!” Qin Ming recited every compliment he could think of, flattery timed perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he needed something from this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi chuckled knowingly, pointing at Qin Ming: “You’re quite the smooth talker.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak up—what do you want from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Huangfu, I wish to claim the promise you made me,” Qin Ming said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi smiled warmly. “Go on—what do you want me to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s eyes flickered with a hint of unease; he cleared his throat and gathered courage to speak: “I’ve heard that Elder Huangfu, even throughout Wei State’s cultivation world, is a peerless force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve long admired you, and now I wish to use your promise simply to witness your strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Elder Huangfu demonstrate your strongest technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi: “????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Qin, are you certain? That’s all you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi was baffled, unsure of the boy’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since I promised you, I won’t break my word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come outside with me—this place is too cramped to unleash anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him agree, Qin Ming’s expression brightened instantly. The two left the cave and took to the air on their magical artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than half a censer’s time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yunmeng Mountain was out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was puzzled—was it really necessary to fly so far just to cast a technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi stopped. His sleeves fluttered as he stood with hands clasped behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Qin Ming and said: “Watch closely—I’ll cast it only once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s heart raced—he had never before witnessed a Foundation Establishment elder’s technique. He nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Qi moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming witnessed, since his arrival in this cultivation world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the most shocking sight of his life!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the purple [Spell Replication] leaf in Qin Ming’s spiritual sense vanished.
