Chapter 963 The Invitation of the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers, True Dragon Pill
Within the sacred land of the Flower Spirit Clan, hundreds of flowers bloom in a serene and tranquil environment.

Qin Ming and the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers sat in the pavilion by the stream and began to talk to each other.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is one of the most extraordinary people I have seen in all my years. It is truly rare for someone to achieve the Fusion stage in such a short time."

"I also heard that you killed a demon fusion body during your inauguration ceremony. Ordinary cultivators cannot do such a thing."

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers poured Qin Ming a cup of Hundred Spirits Wine, and then spoke.

Qin Ming accepted the jade cup and said rather humbly, "Senior is too kind. My realm is far inferior to that of Senior Wan Hua."

The Holy Master of Myriad Flowers said, "Speaking of which, I was able to successfully recover my cultivation this time thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin's few Xuanling Immortal Peaches, which not only extended my lifespan but also stabilized my foundation."

"Come, let me toast Fellow Daoist Qin."

The two immediately began toasting each other.

Qin Ming discovered that even though the other party had recovered to the Mahayana stage, he was still very approachable.

"I heard that during my absence, Senior Wan Hua took good care of Little Turtle Peak. I thank you for your help," Qin Ming said.

The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers said, "It's nothing, just a small matter. I didn't expect that after leading my people out of the Linglong Immortal Mansion, we would encounter another calamity of alien races that happens only once every few hundred thousand years. As neighbors, we should naturally help each other."

"Without Fellow Daoist Qin's recommendation, our clan would not have found this excellent location."

Qin Ming sighed with emotion upon hearing this. Indeed, his efforts had not been in vain; he had chosen to forge a good relationship with this alien leader.

At this moment, the Flower Spirit Clan is rising in the Spirit Realm, which can be considered a powerful ally.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell Fellow Daoist Qin. I noticed that the junior fox clan member on your Little Turtle Peak has quite special talent, so I advised him to return to a place in the demon realm where the fox clan's heritage is hidden. Perhaps there will be another opportunity for him there. However, this path also contains some dangers, and whether he succeeds depends entirely on his personal luck and fortune."

"If she succeeds, it means she has some good fortune."

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers spoke to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming knew that Yue Lingyan had gone out to seek opportunities, but he didn't expect it to be for this reason. He immediately cupped his hands in thanks and said:
"So Fellow Daoist Lingyan was guided by Senior Wanhua. Thank you very much."

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers waved his hand slightly and asked Qin Ming:

"What are your thoughts on the upcoming calamity involving the alien races, Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and said, "According to some intelligence I have, after the demon camp has been lying low for a while, it will launch a major counterattack. The previous skirmishes were just small skirmishes. I'm afraid the real battles will come later. With the strength of our human camp, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of bloodshed."

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers has lived for many years and has also experienced the great catastrophe in the spirit world, so he naturally has some knowledge.

She said slowly, "That's right. This great calamity of the alien races is only just beginning. The powerful Holy Ancestors of the Demon Race have not yet made their move. Only by increasing our cultivation and strength can we survive this catastrophe."

"If your human race remains in its current state, and no one is willing to step forward, the situation will remain precarious."

Qin Ming nodded, agreeing with the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers' words.

He had already learned from the Succubus Star and during the Ice Crystal Demon Wind that the powerful Saint Ancestors in the Ancient Demon Realm had begun to secretly plot to send their avatars down to the mortal realm using powerful formations.

Furthermore, this time the Demon Clan and the Skyhorn Clan will send even more powerful cultivators to lead their armies, making their forces far stronger than before.

"Fellow Daoist Qin of this temple has just advanced to the Integration stage, yet his magical power is incredibly stable, far surpassing that of others at the same level. It seems he has begun to comprehend some kind of superior law power, hasn't he?"

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers seemed to recognize Qin Ming's extraordinary qualities at a single glance.

Qin Ming replied tactfully, "During my previous travels, I obtained a fragment of a law by chance, which enabled me to break through to the Fusion stage."

"Luck is also a part of strength. Fellow Daoist Qin may have the potential to advance to the Mahayana stage and become a leading figure in the Spirit Realm in the future." The Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers nodded slightly, seemingly quite optimistic about Qin Ming.

If it were anyone else, being praised like that by a Mahayana cultivator, they might have already become incredibly arrogant.

However, Qin Ming replied in a very low-key manner: "I have just advanced to the Integration stage, and the Great Ascension stage is still too far away."

"I wouldn't dare be so certain about others, after all, I've been there myself, and I know that breaking through to the Mahayana realm is far beyond what other realms can compare to. Even in the vast and boundless Spirit Realm, with its myriad races, only a handful achieve the Mahayana realm. However, Fellow Daoist Qin is different." The Holy Master of Myriad Flowers suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Qin is an ascended cultivator from the lower realm, right? Not only that, but that 'Yin Lingzi' Fellow Daoist who saved my clan's life earlier, wasn't that you in disguise?"

Taken aback by the unexpected question from this big shot, Qin Ming smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect to be able to escape your discerning eyes, senior."

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers smiled meaningfully, "In the past, I really couldn't tell, but now that my cultivation has recovered by half and I'm in such close contact with you, even if you've taken the Transformation Pill, you can still tell."

"The fact that you could even deceive me is enough to demonstrate how shrewd Fellow Daoist Qin is."

"However, I happen to have something I need Fellow Daoist Qin's help with."

"In return, I can grant you an opportunity, which will also be considered as me owing you a favor."

After saying that, she raised her hand and handed a jade slip to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was slightly surprised to hear this. He couldn't imagine what a great Mahayana cultivator could possibly need that would warrant his help, a cultivator who had just advanced to the Integration stage.

He used his divine sense to browse the jade slip briefly and saw that it contained an ancient elixir formula and its refining method.

"A seventh-grade superior True Dragon Pill recipe."

"Indeed, this pill was created by an ancient powerful being. It is a unique pill formula. The wondrous uses of the True Dragon Pill are enough to overcome several major obstacles in the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and can even be used all the way to the later stages of cultivation," explained the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers.

Qin Ming regained his composure, knowing that this ancient pill formula was extremely precious and would likely cause a huge uproar if it were released to the outside world.

Perhaps this pill formula was brought out by the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers from the Linglong Immortal Mansion.

With just a glance, he knew that this pill was many times better than the Body Integration Pills that the other elders had given him during the grand ceremony.

"Then what does Senior want me to do?" Qin Ming asked.

The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers clearly trusted his character and reputation greatly, and had already given him benefits before anything was even done.

Seeing Qin Ming's reaction, the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers seemed unsurprised:
"I will need some rare and precious materials to continue to recover my strength. One of them is a wisp of 'Primordial Chaos Qi,' the main ingredient in refining the True Dragon Pill. I need to ask Fellow Daoist Qin to go into the Myriad Spirits Realm to help me search for it. I'm afraid only you can do this."

The fact that it can be prefixed with the word "innate" indicates that this is no ordinary spiritual object and must be difficult to obtain.

"The Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits?" Qin Ming was no stranger to this; he had heard of the mysterious small world located in the Spirit Realm in several places.

It is said that this place is inhabited by various powerful and spiritual races.

He had just glanced at this ancient pill formula. The reason this pill was called the 'True Dragon Pill' was because it was truly made using the blood of a true dragon.

It truly lives up to its name, True Dragon Pill.
Moreover, it must contain nine drops each of the ancient true spirit blood of a true dragon and a true phoenix, and the divine beast must voluntarily give it to the beast; otherwise, it will be ineffective and may even cause a backlash.

Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly; these ancient pill formulas were truly potent! Although their medicinal power was formidable, the fact that they frequently required the blood of true dragons and phoenixes was quite troublesome. This reminded him of his spirit pets, the Xuan Shui Crocodile and the Blue Ice Fairy.

'If only those two were here with me, they would have the essence of a true dragon and a true phoenix, which I could use immediately.'

The True Dragon Clan and the True Phoenix Clan are powerful spirit races that dominate a region in the Spirit Realm. Their strength has been formidable since ancient times.

Any cultivator who dares to set their sights on them is essentially courting death.
Even during the fusion period, it's not enough.

However, upon hearing the news about the Myriad Spirits Realm, Qin Ming also became somewhat interested.

“That’s right. Due to some reasons, I cannot enter this realm, but cultivators like Fellow Daoist Qin can naturally do so. As for the location of the entrance to the Myriad Spirits Realm, I will tell you.” The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers explained.

Qin Ming quickly thought it over and agreed. Searching for some spiritual items wasn't dangerous, and he also wanted to broaden his horizons in the Realm of Myriad Spirits.

Su Yuqing was taken to the Nine Heavens Divine Deer Clan for cultivation by Daoist Lu Yun back then, so she might be able to see him again this time.

The old woman from the Great Ascension stage of Frost Shadows is also in the Realm of Myriad Spirits, so she can take this opportunity to make many good connections.

Besides that, the most important thing is this 'True Dragon Pill'. Qin Ming is indeed quite interested in it. If he can really refine this pill, it will greatly improve the efficiency of his cultivation in the Integration Stage.

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers was quite pleased to see Qin Ming agree.

He immediately told Qin Ming the specific entrance to the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits.

The Realm of All Spirits is known only to a select few, as well as the method of entering it.

"The location of the Myriad Spirits Realm is at the border between the Ancient Flame Clan and the Feathered Spirit Clan of the Spirit Realm. You need to have a special rune token for this realm to enter. The next entrance will open in three hundred years. Fellow Daoist Qin, please be sure not to be late then."

"Once you miss it, you'll have to wait thousands of years."

Then.

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers then handed Qin Ming a jade-green rune token and told him the whereabouts of the Primordial Chaos Qi.

"I don't know if my old friend is still alive. If she is, you can give her this token and exchange it for the spiritual item."

"If it's no longer there, then Fellow Daoist Qin will need to search for it himself."

After some investigation, Qin Ming...

It turns out that when the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers was young, he had also been to the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits, where he met a True Spirit Fellow Daoist and formed an inextricable bond.

If he finds this old friend, he can just ask for it directly, which will save him a lot of trouble.

"I will remember this three hundred years from now, and I will certainly not forget it," Qin Ming replied.

The Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers added, "The Myriad Spirits Realm is also full of great opportunities. With Fellow Daoist Qin's abilities, he may have another great fortune."

A great opportunity?
Upon hearing this word, Qin Ming immediately had a bad feeling.
……

Several days later.

Qin Ming bid farewell to the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers from the Flower Spirit Clan and returned to his own Little Turtle Peak.

Looking down from the air, he saw that the original Little Turtle Peak spiritual land had undergone tremendous changes over the years.

The spiritual lands that were originally idle for tens of thousands of miles have been cultivated in an orderly manner, presenting a thriving scene.

With the addition of many families and forces drawn by its reputation, it has become a land of abundance, primarily focused on cultivating spiritual plants.

Even markets of all sizes, as well as large immortal cities, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

So much so that even Qin Ming, the owner of the spiritual land, almost didn't recognize him.

On the summit of Little Turtle Peak, there is a lush and verdant landscape, a scene resembling a fairyland.

The seventh-tier Azure Sky Tree gathers all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire Donghuang Mountain Range. Its canopy is like a giant umbrella, blocking out the sky and creating a magnificent sight.

The spiritual vein environment on the main peak of Little Turtle Peak is already infinitely close to the seventh-order grade, a level that only a major sect of the Integration Realm can possess.

Qin Ming secretly estimated, "It seems that as long as it develops like this for another thousand years, Little Turtle Peak will definitely become a seventh-order spiritual land. I wonder if Tianxing City will regret giving this place to me."

Then a ripple spread around him, and he disappeared into the air.

When it reappeared, it had already passed through the protective mountain formation it had left behind.

Looking at the familiar surroundings on Little Turtle Peak, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

When he left, he was still at the Refinement stage, but when he returned, he had already achieved the Integration stage. Yet, everything here remained exactly as it was before, with all the spiritual plants around the cave in perfect order.

Clearly, Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei spent a considerable amount of money.

Qin Ming notified the two of them as soon as he returned.

After half a cup of tea.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's summons, Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei, their faces beaming with excitement, hurried over to pay their respects.

"Welcome back, Peak Master!"

Not long after they had met Qin Ming at the grand ceremony held at the Lingmiao Sect, they were overjoyed to see him return.

I didn't expect Qin Ming to come back so quickly.

"You two have done well. No need for formalities. I have just returned. Tell me about the current situation around me."

Qin Ming sat down at the stone table, and Mo Lingwei quickly served him some spiritual tea.

"Reporting to Peak Master, our Little Turtle Peak is doing quite well. With the protection of the Flower Spirit Clan, even the chaos outside doesn't affect us," Baili Hui reported to Qin Ming with a smile.

"However, Tianxing City is a problem. It has been the site of almost constant warfare for hundreds of years, making it a primary target of the demonic forces."

"Elder Jiang of the Zhitian Hall, who was previously on good terms with you, and several senior figures including Yao Tiannan's master, have all perished in the demonic calamity."

"The army is still under the command of Divine Lord Zichen, but the one in charge of the overall situation has become Senior Yun Gu Zi, who is in the Integration Stage."
