Chapter 961 The Succubus Star's Visit
When Qin Ming saw that it was actually the Succubus Star herself who had descended, he immediately became wary.

The demon lord suddenly appeared at our door; we don't know what his purpose is.

However, Qin Ming and she have quite a history together.

And judging from the other party's appearance at this moment, they didn't seem to have any hostility, which made Qin Ming quite puzzled.

'The thought processes of these demons are truly unfathomable.'

The two of them had cooperated before in the Soul Well of the Soul Clan ruins, which ultimately allowed them to escape.

"So you are Fellow Daoist Succubus Star. Aren't you afraid of being exposed by appearing here? After all, this is human territory."

"You've suddenly come to me, Qin. What brings you here?"

Qin Ming asked tentatively.

But then Succubus Star smiled slightly, "If I hadn't given you the Great Dream Thousand Autumns Demon Wine back then, Fellow Daoist Qin probably wouldn't have been able to advance to the Integration stage so quickly, right?"

"After all, we're destined to meet, so why be so wary?"

"If I wanted to take action, I would have done it back then to prevent future troubles."

"I've come here not only to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin, but also to ask for a cup of spiritual wine. Is that too much to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming pondered for a moment and, finding it to be true, invited her into the Cui Xu Garden.

The human race and the demon race are now locked in a bitter feud.

However, the relationship between the two of them was maintained in an extremely delicate balance.

If others saw this, they would be utterly astonished.

The Devouring Rat hurriedly followed, but seeing the two doing this, it was completely baffled and scratched its head, muttering to itself:

"What exactly is this witch up to?"

After entering Cuixu Garden.

Qin Ming had the Devouring Sky Rat and the Little Silver Fox serve him spiritual tea.

"This is the Great Dao Tribulation Tea, which I personally cultivated and nurtured. Fellow Daoist Succubus Star, how does it taste?"

The spirit tea tree in the Little Spirit Realm, after a thousand years of cultivation, has grown into a sixth-grade tree.

Although it offers little help to Qin Ming and Succubus Star's current cultivation levels, its unique taste and aroma are unparalleled.

After all, this was a local specialty he brought from the human world.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, there's no need for you to stand on ceremony with me. Just call me Zi Ling from now on."

The succubus was also extremely carefree. She picked up her teacup, drank the lightning-infused tea in one gulp, and then sincerely exclaimed:

"It is indeed excellent tea."

After saying that, she suddenly paused, and asked Qin Ming meaningfully:

"That guy, Li Moxing, should have died at Fellow Daoist Qin's hands. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qin to be so powerful. This guy is not easy to deal with."

Qin Ming casually admitted, "So what if it is?"

"Then I must thank Fellow Daoist Qin for his help. I was rivals with Power Demon Star, and by a twist of fate, I was killed by you, which ironically made me successful." The Succubus Star said with a faint smile, "However, Power Demon Star was very important in the Demon Clan. His death has already been known to the Holy Ancestor. I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Qin will have to be careful in the future."

Qin Ming found it extremely ironic that a succubus star from the demon race would remind him to be careful.

As for the Holy Ancestor of the Ancient Demon Realm, he has offended several of them. Now that he is on human territory and his strength has greatly increased, there is no need to worry too much.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Ziling."

"I hope we won't meet on the battlefield again," Qin Ming said calmly.

Succubus Star smiled slightly: "That's natural. I don't want to face a cultivator like Fellow Daoist Qin with such sharp supernatural abilities."

"Alright, I won't say anything more. I've come here to exchange some Great Dream Thousand Autumns Demon Wine with you. I'll be returning to the Ancient Demon Realm soon."

Qin Ming could guess that the Succubus Star had obtained a black book from the Well of Souls, and that she would definitely go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage upon returning.

However, he didn't expect that this demon was also a lover of wine, and that he would actually come back to the human race to make a deal with him for the spirit wine.

After saying that, Succubus Star flipped her fair, jade-like hand and immediately took out a black gourd and placed it in front of Qin Ming.

"This contains a pot of Nether Spring water, which I obtained by chance. It should be enough to exchange for Demon Wine."

"By the way, I wish you great success in achieving your goal."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming opened the container and found it filled with an incredibly pure pool of Nether Spring water. He immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, the water of the Nether Spring is a unique resource of the ancient demon realm; once it's gone, it's gone forever.

He immediately took out a gourd of the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Demon Wine and handed it to the other party.

The transaction between the two parties is complete.

Qin Ming sat opposite this demon lord and simply had the Devouring Sky Rat open a jar of spirit wine and they began to drink and chat.

After a few rounds of drinks, Succubus seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself, but she still got up to say goodbye.

On the eve of departure.

She turned to Qin Ming and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin is the person I have met so far in my cultivation journey who is exceptional in both fortune and cultivation strength. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."

"I'll ask you for a cup of spirit wine then, so please don't refuse."

"Fellow Daoist Zi Ling, please take care. We'll meet again someday," Qin Ming said with a calm smile.

If the other party knew that he had once killed one of her fused avatars, he wondered what she would think.
However, all of this has already vanished like smoke.

The succubus seemed to remember something again, and immediately said to Qin Ming:
"I almost forgot, I have one last piece of advice for Fellow Daoist Qin."

"The death of Power Demon Star at Fellow Daoist Qin's hands has caused us both to fail in command during this battle. Therefore, I have been summoned back to the Ancient Demon Realm. At that time, the Holy Ancestor will dispatch four Demon Stars, led by 'Dou Demon Star,' to command the army."

"Jiu Moxing is not a easy person to deal with, and the Tianjiao Clan will also send an even more powerful Fusion Realm cultivator. It seems that Fellow Daoist Qin will have to be careful next."

"However, the gourd treasure in Fellow Daoist Qin's hand should be a Xuanling treasure, right? With such a thing, even if a Mahayana cultivator were to take action, one should be able to protect oneself without worry."

Succubus Star was well aware that the Xuanling Treasure was something born of nature, containing the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and could not be compared with ordinary treasures.

The Mysterious Treasure can be used to suppress the fortune of a major clan in the Spirit Realm. Even a super clan like the Heavenly Horn Clan doesn't possess more than a handful of them; you could count them on one hand.

Therefore, in her opinion, Qin Ming was able to kill Lili Demon Star because of the advantage of this treasure.

What she didn't know was that Qin Ming possessed the Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror, a heaven-defying treasure that could ignore all supernatural defenses and directly cut off an enemy's lifespan at full health.
However, Qin Ming naturally wouldn't tell her these things.

"The Demon Star?" Qin Ming nodded. He had also learned from the Demon Star that the Demon Race was about to launch its next offensive.

After saying that.

The succubus star merged into the void and vanished completely.

Qin Ming watched her departing figure, a thoughtful expression on his face: "She truly is an unfathomable woman."

"Master, she wouldn't have tampered with the Nether Spring water she gave you, would she?" The Devouring Rat asked cautiously, shading its eyes with its hand.

Qin Ming turned to look at it, nodded, and said calmly, "That's right, we'll use you to test the poison later."

Devouring Sky Rat: "."

……

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Within the Little Spirit Realm, Qin Ming spent a great deal of effort cutting off a small portion of the fist-sized 'Meteorite Magic Crystal', preparing to further enhance his Soul-Destroying Demon Sword.

However, this meteorite magic crystal was indeed a rare item only found in legends. Qin Ming used almost every method he could find to cut off a small piece.

Next, he used the furnace left behind by the Fire God to begin smelting magic crystals, a process that took several more years.

But for Qin Ming's long lifespan, these years are but a blink of an eye.

Inside the furnace in the main hall, the Golden Crow Fire Spirit assisted Qin Ming in controlling the seventh-order Primordial Poison Flame, slowly refining the thumb-sized meteorite magic crystal.

Fortunately, it was Qin Ming's natal spirit fire that had been upgraded to the seventh level or higher; otherwise, there would have been no way to get that rare treasure.

With a thought, Qin Ming unleashed the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword, which emitted a dark demonic aura, as it flew out from within his primordial spirit and disappeared into the forging furnace.

Gradually.

As Qin Ming manipulated the refining technique of "Fire God's Heavenly Craft" in his hands, the magic crystals in the forging furnace gradually melted, turning into strands of dark golden liquid that were rhythmically injected into the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword.

In an instant.

boom!
A vast wave of energy reverberated throughout the entire hall, accompanied by wailing sounds reminiscent of the Nine Netherworld Forest.

The originally pitch-black Soul-Destroying Demon Sword now features numerous mysterious dark gold runes, making the entire sword seem reborn and significantly increasing its aura.

Qin Ming continued to strike while the iron was hot, adding the remaining small amount of magic crystals in the forge into the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword.

After being tempered by the spiritual fire of heaven and earth for eighty-one days, the furnace shone brightly, and the artifacts in the refining hall were filled with demonic energy, manifesting a towering figure of a celestial demon wielding a demonic sword.

It was Qin Ming's Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Ruler True Form, but it wasn't him transforming at this moment; rather, it was a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth generated after the demonic sword's transformation.

After all, this demonic sword and the old demon Qingyang's techniques share the same origin.

"From this moment on, Friend Qin's Soul-Destroying Demon Sword is comparable to a top-tier seventh-order Dao-Merging Treasure, and it has fully activated the two great divine abilities of Soul Severing and Soul Destroying, which is truly remarkable!"

"If you have the opportunity to find a higher-level spiritual object in the future, young friend Qin may even have the chance to cultivate this divine power to a level no weaker than a Xuanling treasure. At that time, you will be able to kill even a Yang God in the Mahayana stage."

The old demon Qingyang was very pleased to see Qin Ming successfully refine the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword.

Qin Ming reached out and summoned the brand-new Soul-Destroying Demon Sword in his hand.

Now, with his powerful soul force driving this demonic sword, even an ordinary fusion-level monster would have no chance of resisting it.

"Master Han Ya is truly a good person; he sent me the Meteorite Magic Crystal at a crucial moment."

He then immediately began to carefully nurture the demonic sword.

The Devouring Sky Rat and the others stared in disbelief at Qin Ming's cave.

"This is terrible! Is Old Demon Qingyang going to lead Master astray? How come Master is now more like a demonic cultivator than a demonic cultivator himself?"

"Won't I completely fall into the demonic path?"

"Shh! Aren't you afraid the master will hear you? He'll punish you again," Tian Ling'er said from the side.

Inside the cave, Qin Ming withdrew his cultivation techniques. He had actually heard what the Devouring Rat had said.

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Is that so? What I cultivate is not important; what's important is that my Dao heart remains unchanged."

With this thought in mind, Qin Ming's mind became clear instantly, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Just as the Devouring Sky Rat and the other beasts were observing, Qin Ming's extremely majestic voice came from inside the cave:

"Devouring Rat, go and plant the three hundred acres of land outside. You can eat when you finish planting."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat's face immediately fell, and it became gloomy and miserable.
It wanted to slap itself twice, blaming itself for talking too much.

……

After Qin Ming achieved the Unity Realm, the Lingmiao Sect gave birth to this legendary cultivator, and the landscape of the three major sects in the Tianyuan Domain changed accordingly.

The Lingmiao Sect was implicitly at the head of the group.

If Ancestor Lingyuan were still alive, he probably wouldn't have dreamed of this at all.

"The deal between Ancestor Lingyuan and Master can be considered a worthwhile investment."

The Devouring Rat was working hard in the spirit field when it saw a communication talisman flying in from outside, but it was blocked by the restriction.

It immediately grabbed it, opened it, and its expression turned strange. Then it dropped the Shennong hoe and ran towards Qin Ming's cave.

Upon entering the Lesser Spirit Realm, they found Qin Ming by the lake, feeding Xiao Qing a large amount of delicious food and drinks.

Xiaoqing's physique has become much stronger, and her growth rate is extremely fast.

Only someone with Qin Ming's background could support such a bottomless pit of a true spirit Kunpeng.

The Devouring Rat swallowed hard, trying to stop himself from drooling, and said:

"Master, Yun Gu Zi from Tianxing City has come to visit. Would you like to see him?"

Qin Ming opened his jet-black eyes and said with slight surprise, "Is it that newly appointed cultivator from the upper echelons of the human race who has been sent to guard Tianxing City?"

"Yes, yes, that's him." The Sky-Eating Rat nodded like a chick pecking at rice. It had been trying its best to behave itself so that Qin Ming would make it do less work.

It hadn't eaten for a long time and had only worked, so it had lost a lot of weight.
Qin Ming said calmly, "Well, in that case, I'll go and meet this fellow practitioner."

After saying that, Qin Ming dropped the spiritual food in his hand and left the Lesser Spirit Realm alone.

The Devouring Rat, gazing at the mountain of rare and precious materials, grinned and said to Xiao Qing:

"Xiaoqing, have I been good to you all this time? I haven't forgotten you when I have something good."

"As the saying goes, we should share both good times and bad. I haven't eaten for several days, how about I have something to eat too?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing blinked and looked at the Devouring Rat. Then, she opened her enormous maw and sucked in all the rare and precious treasures in front of her, which were swept into her belly like a whirlwind.

Upon seeing this, the Sky-Eating Rat was stunned. After a long while, it angrily pointed at it and said:

"You just wait and see!"

Just as the Devouring Rat thought Xiao Qing was eating alone, it saw two snow-white beads spit out of its mouth and fall in front of it, radiating amazing spiritual energy!
It is also accompanied by a refreshing and delightful fragrance, which is rare in the world.

The Devouring Rat's eyes lit up. It picked up the two beads from the ground, its face beaming with excitement, and drool dripping as it asked:

"What a wonderful treasure! Hehehe!"

……

Outside the cave.

Standing there was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, who was none other than Yun Gu Zi, a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm who guarded Tianxing City.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Yun Gu Zi! What a rare guest! Please come in and have a chat!"

Qin Ming invited the other party in. Since he advanced to the Integration Stage and became famous in one battle, he has been visited by a constant stream of forces and cultivators from all sides.

He mostly delegated the tasks to his disciples.

As for cultivators like Yun Gu Zi who are at the Integration Stage, he can only personally entertain them.

Yun Gu Zi bowed to Qin Ming and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, I've long admired your name! Hahaha!"

"I originally wanted to attend the last grand ceremony, but unfortunately I couldn't make it. It's a real pity!"

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, a small token of my appreciation."

After Yun Gu Zi finished speaking, he immediately took out an exquisite jade box from his storage bag and handed it over.
