Chapter 280 Sacred Fire Token

Chapter 280 Sacred Fire Token

Subsequently, the envoy from Fire Palace presented congratulatory gifts.

"Fire Palace presents thirty High-Grade Spirit Stones, one Upper Third Rank Alchemy Furnace 'Wind and Thunder Cauldron', five types of Tier 3 Mid Grade Spirit Material, ten types of Low-Grade Third-Order Spirit Material, and other congratulatory gifts in abundance."

"Presented by Elder Zhou Yu of Fire Palace."

Hiss~ Everyone who heard such extremely rare treasures being presented as congratulatory gifts gasped in astonishment.

From this, it could be seen that the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty was truly rich in resources and too extravagant in their generosity.

Especially that Wind and Thunder Cauldron, it was an Upper Third Rank level Pill Furnace, yet they gave it away as a gift.

If placed in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, wouldn't that be a Sect-Protecting Treasure? "Fellow Daoist Zhou has come from afar, making Qin feel truly ashamed. Please, take a seat."

"Try this Island's local specialties, Jade Unicorn Wine and Rice Blossom Spirit Fish."

Qin Ming then called over a serving girl to serve Spirit Wine to Zhou Yu.

"Hahaha! Excellent!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin has achieved Great Success of Golden Core, I must have a drink to celebrate." Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face.

"Daoist Qing Xuan, Daoist Yu Heng, long time no see, let's have a drink together."

Subsequently, Zhou Yu of Fire Palace turned his head to speak to the two of them.

After Qin Ming greeted this important guest, the banquet continued.

…

Outside White Jade Plaza, the congratulatory gifts from subsequent guests were continuously announced.

These Cultivator Family Clans and Sects of Wei Kingdom had truly gone to great lengths to curry favor with this Golden Core True Person Qin Ming.

Fortunately, Qin Ming had no intention of joining any Power, only wanting to be an unfettered Rogue Cultivator.

Furthermore, he had no thoughts of establishing a Sect, and would not compete with their Powers for Resources or territory.

Otherwise, with the current Situation in Wei Kingdom, this newly advanced Golden Core True Person of Moon Gazing Island, coupled with his Status as a Third-Order Alchemy Grandmaster.

He would be enough to change the future direction of the Four Kingdoms Cultivation World, hence everyone had to be careful in befriending Qin Ming.

The lively atmosphere continued until evening.

Around dusk.

The Golden Core Celebration ended, and the numerous guests dispersed, the sights and sounds on Moon Gazing Island had truly broadened their horizons.

When they returned, what had happened at today's Celebration would be another major news item.

There were still a few Cultivators who wanted to privately visit Qin Ming, this newly advanced Golden Core, among them were Zhou Yu of Fire Palace, and the two Old Ancestors of Profound Stream Valley.

In the Welcoming Guest Pavilion on the Main Peak.

Qin Ming welcomed the group into the Main Hall.

Zhou Yu of Fire Palace spoke first, "This Seat would like to have a private word with Fellow Daoist Qin."

Ancestor Qing Xuan and Ancestor Yuheng naturally understood, and immediately smiled slightly, "Elder Zhou, you two talk first, we'll wait outside for a while."

Subsequently, only Zhou Yu and Qin Ming remained in the Main Hall.

Zhou Yu looked at Qin Ming before him, who was like an evergreen tree, tranquil and approachable, and spoke first:

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed the first person in Wei Kingdom in recent centuries to achieve Core Formation as a Rogue Cultivator, now that I see you, your reputation is truly well-deserved."

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zhou overpraises me, Qin only had a bit of luck, and by a Fated Chance, I was fortunate enough to reach this realm." Qin Ming said in a watertight manner.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin need not be modest, originally three years ago, when you made a Breakthrough to become a Tier 3 Alchemy Dao Grandmaster, This Palace had the intention to send someone to make contact."

"It's just that, it was delayed due to some matters."

"But it's also fine, it's just as well to speak of it all together now."

"This Seat has also heard before that Fellow Daoist Qin has always been independent and unwilling to join a Sect."

"And my coming here this time is by Sect orders, carrying the Sacred Fire Token, to specially invite Fellow Daoist Qin to join Fire Palace."

"As long as Fellow Daoist agrees to join, as for the Conditions… that is to directly become an Inner Sect Elder of This Palace."

Qin Ming: "..."

Although he had expected it, he hadn't expected Fire Palace to offer such high Conditions.

The value of a Nascent Soul Sect Inner Sect Elder was self-evident.

Seeing Qin Ming still hesitating, Zhou Yu continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin probably hasn't been to Great Jin, has he?"

"Even the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World only counts as a small piece of vassal territory of our Great Jin Immortal Dynasty."

"If we talk about Immortal Cultivation Resources, the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is many times better than the barren Southern Wilderness."

"And Cultivators of vassal Cultivation Worlds, without the Sacred Fire Token issued by our Fire Palace, no Cultivator is Qualified to enter Great Jin."

"In addition to this, after Fellow Daoist Qin joins Fire Palace, your Status will be extraordinary, almost on equal footing with This Seat."

"The Golden Core Cultivation Resources you require will also be given priority in supply, as long as your contribution is great enough, This Palace even has Nascent Soul Advancement Opportunity available…" "With Fellow Daoist Qin's Upper-Grade Core Formation Aptitude, glimpsing the Nascent Soul Great Dao is not impossible."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Qin can seriously consider it."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he asked himself in his heart that he still had some confidence, even if Qin Ming became a Golden Core Cultivator, it would be difficult to refuse such temptation.

Truthfully speaking.

After Qin Ming heard Zhou Yu's words, he was somewhat moved.

However, he didn't have much interest in joining Fire Palace.

As long as he continued Farming himself, everything he should have would be there, and he simply didn't need to join Fire Palace to obtain it.

Moreover.

He now had enough High Grade Spirit Stones in hand, enough to enhance Moon Gazing Island's Spirit Vein to Upper Third Rank, or even Extreme Grade.

He pondered for a moment, and still politely declined,

"Thank you for Fire Palace's kindness, Qin's Aptitude is mediocre, being able to achieve Core Formation is already Great Fortune, I dare not hope for Nascent Soul matters."

"I only wish to be a leisurely Island Lord in this Territory, and that is enough."

"I plan to retire here, haha."

Zhou Yu was stunned in place upon hearing Qin Ming's reply.

How many Cultivators were breaking their heads trying to join Fire Palace, yet he hadn't expected Qin Ming to actually refuse.

Zhou Yu frowned, and asked again, "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you really not considering it?"

"Qin has made up his mind, I'm afraid I will have to refuse Elder Zhou's kind intentions, and make you make a trip for nothing." Qin Ming's attitude was very clear.

"Ah, since that's the case, then alright, I cannot force Fellow Daoist Qin either."

"Hmm, then how about this, I will give the Sacred Fire Token to Fellow Daoist Qin, whenever Fellow Daoist changes your mind, just come to Fire Palace of Great Jin to find me."

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, he still felt a little regretful, and took out a scarlet-gold Mysterious Fire Token, and handed it to Qin Ming.

Seeing that his kind intentions were hard to refuse, Qin Ming had no choice but to accept the Sacred Fire Token in the other party's hand.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Zhou Yu then exchanged a few words with Qin Ming, before rising to bid farewell and leave.

The purplish-gold Spirit Light Treasure Carriage slowly ascended into the sky, disappearing into the Horizon under Qin Ming's gaze.

After Zhou Yu of Fire Palace left.

Ancestor Qing Xuan and Ancestor Yuheng of Profound Stream Valley then came over, and said to Qin Ming with beaming smiles,

"Fellow Daoist Qin is truly a person with ambitions beyond the mundane, you actually didn't agree to Fire Palace's invitation, hahaha!"

Qin Ming also smiled faintly, "Qin is just used to being alone, unfettered and free."

"Moreover, I have managed this Moon Gazing Island for so long, and I don't want to give it up."

"Hmm, I can see that Fellow Daoist Qin has deep Fortune, you should have obtained a legendary 'Innate Breath Soil', right?"

"I see that the area of the Outer Perimeter of Spirit Island has increased quite a bit outwards." Ancestor Qing Xuan obviously saw through the secret.

"Haha! Indeed, it was just a Fated Chance." Qin Ming did not hide it.

After exchanging words for a moment.

Next.

Ancestor Qing Xuan raised his hand and cast a Seclusion Barrier, enveloping the three of them.

Only then did he say to Qin Ming, "Actually, Fellow Daoist Qin, at this time, not agreeing to Zhou Yu and joining Fire Palace is the right thing to do."

"Oh?"

"Daoist Qing Xuan, what do you mean by this?" Qin Ming was quite surprised, he hadn't expected him to say this.

Ancestor Qing Xuan explained, "Zhou Yu is probably only telling you half the story."

"Joining a Great Sect of Nascent Soul level like Fire Palace, and becoming an Inner Sect Elder, enjoying Resources and City Patron, if it were in the past, it would indeed be very good."

"But now! Seemingly infinitely glorious, in reality, there are hidden dangers…"

"According to what I know, Fire Palace has recently also been drawn into War, and is at war with another great enemy, who will win or lose is still unknown…"

Qin Ming was also stunned when he heard this, secretly rejoicing in his choice, which was truly extremely correct.

"Daoist Qing Xuan… how did you come to know of this matter?"

"Ah! This is related to the matter that we two old fellows are about to ask Fellow Daoist Qin for help with." Ancestor Qing Xuan said with a helpless wry smile.

A trace of astonishment could not help but appear on Qin Ming's calm face.

These two dignified Supreme Elders of Profound Stream Sect actually uttered words of asking for help from someone like him.
