Chapter 264: Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill Emerges!

Chapter 264: Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill Emerges!

Vast Ocean Peak, inside an Upper Third Rank Fire Vein Grotto.

Qin Ming stepped inside. The facilities within the grotto were quite comprehensive, including a Pill Refining Room, Artifact Crafting Room, Talisman Crafting Room, Quiet Chamber for cultivation, and more.

The further he went, the higher the temperature became. However, Qin Ming possessed the True Extreme Body, naturally having no great fear of the Tier 3 Earth Fire here.

Above the Fire Veins, Azure Sea Immortal City used a special Formation to guide the Fire Vein energy through the Formation, channeling the violent and unstable Earth Fire out and distributing it to each Room.

Otherwise, Tier 3 High-Grade Earth Fire would be no weaker than a Core Formation Grandmaster's Samadhi True Fire.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator encountering even a little bit would certainly be unable to withstand it.

Therefore, Cultivators who came to rent grottoes, such as Grand Pill Master Sun Jinnian, even if they were in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, only dared to operate within the Inner Room and did not dare to venture deeper inside.

But Qin Ming's purpose was different. His True Zenith Body's Spell-Negating Attribute was completely fearless of Tier 3 Spell Attack; this Tier 3 Fire Vein was naturally not a problem.

He followed the Passage excavated by the Immortal City, continuing deeper inside.

Half an incense stick of time later.

A crimson Lava Fissure appeared in Qin Ming's sight.

Violent Flame energy roamed in the air.

Scalding, viscous lava flowed in the Earth Veins. From time to time, rocks from the nearby Rock Wall fell into it, bursting and splashing high flames that exploded in the air.

Probably only someone with Qin Ming's terrifying Physical Body strength could reach this place.

"Mm, the environment is not bad, this place will do."

Qin Ming looked at the grotto in front of him, illuminated by the Earth Fire, resembling a red world, and nodded in satisfaction.

Subsequently.

He was not in a hurry to begin Spirit Plant Cultivation, but took out a set of Anti-Detection Formation and set it up around the area.

Although Azure Sea Immortal City had Formations set up to protect the privacy of its guests, Qin Ming decided to add another layer of Restriction himself, just to be safe.

After all, he was preparing to use his Cheat Ability here to Ripening Spirit Herbs; caution was never a mistake.

Once the Restriction was set up, Qin Ming took out the Spirit Seed of the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus. There were eight Spirit Seeds on the withered yellow Lotus Pod.

He had the experience of successfully cultivating a Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus in the Flora Illusion Realm.

Cultivating and nurturing it again this time was a familiar task.

Qin Ming took out the 'Central Yellow Spirit Earth' he had purchased, wrapped the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus Spirit Seed, and then used his Divine Sense to control it, placing it into the Heart of Molten Fire.

Immediately after, Qin Ming thought, and immediately used a [Enhanced Adaptation] Entry, applying it to the Golden Lotus Spirit Seed.

Having done this, Qin Ming began to follow the steps, using his Divine Sense to capture the roaming Essence of Fire energy nearby, guiding and injecting it into the Spirit Soil.

Repeating this cycle, more than three months passed.

Within the Central Yellow Spirit Earth in the lava, a touch of reddish-gold halo penetrated, emitting a divine radiance.

"The Spirit Seed is finally successfully nurtured, it has vitality, and it has taken root and sprouted."

"Six Spirit Seeds survived, still within my expectations."

Qin Ming's eyes, as dark as ink, stared ahead, his expression calm, his heart serene, neither sorrowful nor joyful.

Then, he immediately thought, and five [Time-Space Leaf] Entries in his Sea of Consciousness disappeared, falling onto the Spirit Seed.

In an instant.

The vast Time-Space Power descended upon the Spirit Seed. Six reddish-gold Spirit Plants were reborn in the scorching Earth Vein flames.

The appearance of the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus, like the Returning Nether True Yin Flower, was also transparent, with rich Extreme Yang energy flowing inside, like stalks of reddish-gold flame Spirit Plants.

Three days later.

A strange medicinal fragrance wafted over, invigorating Qin Ming's entire spirit.

At the same time.

A golden Golden Attribute Entry also refreshed above the six Fire-Bathed Golden Lotuses.

[Name]: Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus

[Entry]: Abundant Lifespan X5 (Maturity Level 92%)

"Another two hundred and fifty years of Lifespan."

Qin Ming muttered, staring at the Entry on the Spirit Plant.

His Immortal Cultivation was originally for longevity. Having a long Lifespan was naturally better the more he had, and a smile lifted at the corner of his mouth.

Next, he just needed to wait for the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus to absorb enough Extreme Yang energy, to gestate Golden Lotus seeds, and exert its maximum medicinal efficacy.

This process also required a certain amount of time.

Qin Ming planned to stay here and wait until the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus was completely mature.

Subsequently.

He took out the Mysterious Jade Furnace and Spirit Material from his Storage Bag, preparing to start Pill Refining the Tier 3 Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill.

Qin Ming opened his mouth and spat out a stream of azure-blue flames, which transformed into a Fire Bird and flew out.

Now, when he refined pills, he no longer needed to rely on external Earth Vein flames at all.

The Fire Bird transformed from the Tier 3 Devouring Spirit Poison Flame sensed the rich Fire Vein energy here, chirped cheerfully, and then burrowed under the Alchemy Furnace.

Qin Ming methodically followed the steps and recipe on the Pill Formula, starting to operate.

…

Time slowly passed, and another year went by.

Outside the Fire Vein Grotto of Vast Ocean Peak.

"May I ask Daoist Friend Lü, Daoist Friend Qin has been inside for a whole year, and hasn't come out yet?"

"Reporting to Alchemist Sun, Daoist Friend Qin has not come out since entering the Grotto."

Ever since learning that Qin Ming was going to rent an Upper Third Rank Fire Vein Grotto for Pill Refinement.

Grand Pill Master Sun Jinnian had been restless and unable to sleep soundly for the past year.

It wasn't that he was jealous of Qin Ming, but the feeling was hard for outsiders to understand, especially as someone with Innate Talent as a Grand Pill Master himself.

Because Alchemist Sun Jinnian had experienced a painful failure once before, he really wanted to know if Qin Ming could succeed.

Lü Wan Jun had also been rendered speechless by Grand Alchemist Sun for the past year, but she didn't dare to offend this Grand Alchemist, for fear of losing Prestige.

Grand Alchemist Sun Jinnian asked her about Daoist Friend Qin's Grotto rental situation almost every few days.

After he ran over too frequently, even True Person Cang Hai noticed the situation here.

Nalan Xi summoned Lü Wan Jun to the Summit Hall and asked indifferently, "What happened at the Fire Vein Grotto?"

"Why is Alchemist Sun always running over there?"

Lü Wan Jun hurriedly reported the Origin of the matter truthfully to True Person Nalan Xi.

True Person Cang Hai Nalan Xi fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

Her Dark Eyebrows furrowed, and she asked in a tone of speculation:

"In that case… Qin Ming renting the Grotto for a full two years, is it possible that he is refining some kind of High-Rank Spirit Pill?"

"Even a Tier 3 Pill."

"No wonder Alchemist Sun can't sleep and is guarding the Immortal's Cave Entrance."

Lü Wan Jun replied, "Before Daoist Friend Qin entered the Grotto, I inquired a bit, and he said that he was indeed preparing to research an Ancient Pill Formula, so it must be so."

She was also surprised in her heart. She had not expected that Daoist Friend Qin merely renting a Grotto would attract the City Lord's attention.

Not only that.

When High-Level Alchemists and Weapon Refiners in Azure Sea Immortal City rented grottoes, they often saw Sun Jinnian wandering in front of the Mountainside Grotto, yet not entering for Pill Refinement.

Finally, a Cultivator could no longer suppress the curiosity in their heart and asked Alchemist Sun, "Old Sun, what are you doing?"

"You're not renting a Grotto, just waiting here all the time."

"Could it be that you are preparing to take in a disciple?"

"Therefore, observing the Pill Masters coming and going here."

"What do you think of me?"

Alchemist Sun Jinnian, upon hearing the person's question, immediately blew his beard and glared, "Go, go, go, who told you this old man was going to take in a disciple?"

However, he still couldn't withstand everyone's interrogation and had to stammer out the Origin under the questioning of several Second-Order Pill Master Fellow Daoists.

"What?!"

"Master Qin has been inside for more than a year and hasn't come out?" "It's said that he went into Closed-Door Cultivation to research an Ancient Pill Formula?"

"This is incredible!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin is so young, yet he has already reached Second-Order High-Grade Alchemist. If he goes a step further, wouldn't he be striving for Tier 3 Grandmaster?"

"Is this possible?"

"Hmm, breaking through to Tier 3 Alchemy Path Grandmaster is as difficult as ascending to the Sky, no less difficult than Cultivation Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. In this old man's opinion, Daoist Friend Qin may just be researching a Second-Order High-Grade Pill Formula."

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree with Fellow Daoist's opinion. No matter how high Daoist Friend Qin's Talent is, it's impossible for him to Breakthrough Tier 3 so quickly."

"The Southern Wastelands Cultivation World hasn't produced a Tier 3 Alchemy Path Grandmaster in over a hundred years."

"Regardless, everything will only be known when Daoist Friend Qin comes out of Closed-Door Cultivation."

From then on, at the Immortal's Cave Entrance of the Fire Vein Grotto on the Mountainside of Vast Ocean Peak, in addition to Alchemist Sun Jinnian, there were several famous Pill Masters with very long qualifications in Azure Sea Immortal City.

Time slowly passed.

Another year went by.

Inside the Grotto.

In these two years, Qin Ming, apart from taking care of the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus, had been researching and refining the Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill.

The Pill Refining Difficulty of this Tier 3 Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill was somewhat beyond Qin Ming's imagination.

When he first started, he thought it would not be much more difficult than the Tier 3 Zhu Rong Pill he had successfully refined before.

But when Qin Ming truly started Pill Concocting, he was shocked to find that the Difficulty level of refining the Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill was the most complex among all the Spirit Pills he had refined so far.

In the past two years, while Pill Concocting, he summarized his experience. The Spirit Material in his Storage Bag had been almost used up by him.

"The Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill is indeed a Pill for Golden Core Cultivators to increase their Cultivation; the Pill Refining challenge is truly not small."

He now only had the last three chances left.

The third year arrived in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ming's rental period for the Grotto was also about to expire.

The Grandmasters waiting for the Result outside the Grotto were also anxiously waiting, all fidgety.

"No way?"

"It's been two years, could something have happened to Master Qin?"

"Should we go inside and take a look?"

"Indeed, the Grotto rental is also expiring. Daoist Friend Lü, why don't you send a voice transmission to Daoist Friend Qin and ask?"

Lü Wan Jun looked at this group of Grandmaster-level figures with extraordinary Status and could not make up her mind for a moment.

She had no choice but to rush to the Great Hall to report the situation to True Person Cang Hai.

Nalan Xi was also stunned after hearing this.

"The third year… Little Friend Qin still shows no sign of coming out…"

She pondered for a moment, and said in a majestic voice, "From now on, Little Friend Qin's Spirit Stone Fee for renting the Grotto will be waived entirely."

"Furthermore, issue this seat's order that no one is allowed to disturb Little Friend Qin's Closed-Door Cultivation."

"Anyone who dares to interfere will be expelled from the Immortal City and dealt with."

Lü Wan Jun's Mental Focus was shaken upon hearing this. She had not expected that Nalan Xi, as a Core Formation Grandmaster, would actually choose to make such a decision.

"Yes!"

After Lü Wan Jun received the order, she dispersed the crowd of onlookers with True Person Cang Hai's command.

Inside the Grotto.

Qin Ming used the Mystical Power 'Four Seasons Divine Light' to extract the Pill Embryo from the Spirit Material.

His expression was calm, maintaining a Calm Mind, not feeling discouraged in the slightest due to the many failures in the past two years.

Anyway, his main purpose was to cultivate the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus, not Pill Refinement.

Clusters of flowing, radiant Medicinal Liquid suspended in front of Qin Ming.

Filled with dreamlike brilliance, it added a strange color to this red Land of Fire Veins.

"Yin-Yang Harmony, condense for me!"

Qin Ming's expression was serious, the hand seals in his hands changed, and all the Medicinal Liquid in front of him fell into the Mysterious Jade Furnace, beginning to complete the final Pill Formation Step.

This was also the first time Qin Ming had spent such a long time and effort on Pill Refinement; the Difficulty was conceivable.

Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, if you want to reach a High-Level Realm in any of them, Talent, time, effort, and burning Spirit Stones are all indispensable.

Otherwise, High-Level Dan Masters would not possibly possess a transcendent Status far higher than ordinary Cultivators.

Chirp! Roar! Two beast roars came from Qin Ming's Pill Furnace!

Immediately after, a seven-colored Rosy Mist appeared above the Mysterious Jade Furnace, emitting an astonishing Dao Halo.

Between the Rosy Mist, a pair of Flood Dragon and Rainbow Phoenix phantoms vaguely swam and drifted within.

Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill emerges, dragon and phoenix sing together! Three Spirit Pills, golden all over, emitting an astonishing Spirit energy Halo, quietly suspended in the Alchemy Furnace.

One Worldly-Dust Cleansing Pill, washing away the Tribulation dust of past lives! It was a Miraculous Spirit Pill that Golden Core Cultivators dreamed of.

…

Outside the Grotto, in the Sky.

The astonishing Phenomenon of Qin Ming's successful Pill Concocting, the auspicious phantoms of the dragon and phoenix, continuously intertwined and spiraled from the Fire Vein Grotto, extending to the Outside the Grotto.

A Rosy Light of several tens of feet Range condensed Above the Grotto of Number One Cave Dwelling, knotted and unyielding.

Although it was just like dreamlike empty flowers, a flash in the pan, this scene was seen by those who had been paying attention here.

As well as High-Level Cultivators who came to rent grottoes.

"This, this Celestial Phenomenon is…"

"Pill formation of Tier 3, dragon and phoenix sing together, a Phenomenon of Heaven and Earth Resonance!!"

Sun Jinnian looked up at the Sky, his eyes revealing shock, his heart filled with mixed feelings, his thoughts unable to calm down for a long time.

"What?!"

"Tier Three Spirit Pill!"

"Master Qin actually succeeded!"

"No, from now on, I'm afraid we have to call him Grandmaster Qin…"

"Shocking news! I never thought that my Wei Kingdom Cultivation World could also produce a Tier 3 Alchemy Path Grandmaster. To witness such a grand event with my own eyes, this old man's life has not been in vain! Hahahaha!"

In an instant, the news of the Phenomenon at the Tier 3 Grotto of Vast Ocean Peak, like a bomb exploding in water, stirred up monstrous waves.

In the Main Peak Great Hall, True Person Cang Hai had already learned of the news in the first moment.

In the next instant.

Her figure blurred for a moment, instantly disappearing from Above the Throne.

Outside Fire Vein Grotto.

Nalan Xi released vast Spiritual Pressure, descending from In the Air to the Grotto Door.

Her expression showed neither joy nor sorrow, only using a gaze as calm as water, faintly gazing Above the Grotto.

In Nalan Xi's heart, however, waves were surging.

Because even she had not expected that Qin Ming could succeed in one fell swoop.

"Looking at this posture, it seems to be an extremely rare existence among Tier 3 Pills…"

"Little Friend Qin… I never thought he could actually reach this step."

"..."

The Cultivators Outside the Grotto, seeing that even True Person Cang Hai had been alarmed, hurriedly respectfully lowered their heads and bowed, "Greetings, True Person Cang Hai!"
