Chapter 994 Mastery of Alchemy
Inside the main hall.

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators, seeing that Elder Lei looked displeased and that Qin Ming ignored them, clearly felt unwelcome.

They didn't want to make a fool of themselves by asking the Frostwolf Clan's Elder Rayron for the benefits of his services.

He then said goodbye and slunk away from the scene.

Half an incense stick later.

Old Ancestor Lei then led Qin Ming to the Spirit Eye Spring in the tribe's sacred land, where they gazed at the flowing spring water and sighed with emotion.

He then said to Qin Ming, "After this incident, the Black Moon tribe has also suffered a great loss of strength, and at least for several thousand years, it will not harbor any disloyal thoughts again."

"We also owe a great debt to Fellow Daoist Qin for his help this time. I never expected that Old Ghost Hei Ming would be so insidious and have prepared such a backup plan, even bringing in the Ancient Spirit Ancestor of the Immortal Yuan Clan."

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Qin's extraordinary abilities, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and our Frostwolf tribe would probably not exist anymore."

"To express our gratitude, in addition to promising Fellow Daoist Qin a spring of spiritual eye, we can also give you an extra Azure Spirit-Nourishing Grass."

Old Ancestor Lei said from the bottom of his heart that if it were anyone else, they would have retreated without a fight, just like the other two who had merged.

At the same time, he also wanted to befriend a powerful cultivator like Qin Ming, so that they might have dealings with each other in the future.

Qin Ming said, "We don't need the spirit herbs, just one of these spirit springs will suffice."

With the entries in hand, he will have plenty of opportunities to cultivate a large number of spiritual herbs in the future.

Old Ancestor Lei was taken aback, not expecting this human cultivator to be so principled.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Qin, please take the Spirit Eye Spring with you."

He also wanted to see what kind of methods Qin Ming had used to take away something like the Spirit Spring.

Qin Ming smiled slightly upon hearing this. He raised his hand, and an ancient painting of mountains and seas appeared in his palm. Under his control, it grew larger in mid-air and slowly unfurled.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of cyan light emanated from the scroll and shone down on one of the spiritual springs below.

next moment.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

But then they saw that the entire spring of spiritual light was captured in the painting.

Within Qin Ming's small spiritual realm, a seventh-tier top-level spiritual eye spring, brimming with spiritual vitality, appeared.
The Devouring Rat and Tian Ling'er hurriedly ran over to watch.

The spiritual spring quickly took root near the immortal's abandoned fields on the green mountain, transforming into a pool of clear spring water that automatically connected with the spiritual veins, continuously gushing out spiritual spring water emanating from it with white mist.

Gradually, a small stream formed, flowing down the winding mountainside.

Wherever the spiritual spring water flowed, the spiritual plants received tremendous nourishment and grew at an extremely rapid pace.

Outside the Little Spirit Realm.

After Qin Ming finished doing all this, he cupped his hands and said to Elder Lei of the Frostwolf Tribe:

"Fellow Daoist Lei, now that this matter is settled, I, Qin, will take my leave."

Before Elder Lei could speak, the Ninth Princess hurriedly said, "Senior Qin's great kindness is something we will never forget. Why don't you stay in the clan for a while longer so that we can express our gratitude?"

Old Ancestor Lei looked at Qin Ming, and he shared the same thought.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I have already stayed for quite some time and thank you both for your hospitality. I have some matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you any longer."

Seeing Qin Ming say this, Old Ancestor Lei did not try to persuade him to stay any longer.

Another important reason is that they were terrified of being eaten by the Sky-Eating Rats.
Finally, with Old Ancestor Lei personally seeing him off, Qin Ming left the Frost Wolf Tribe.

He gazed in the direction Qin Ming had left, his heart filled with mixed emotions, sighing with regret.

"Among the human race, it seems a person of extraordinary talent and ability is about to be born!"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess's pretty face showed surprise. It was rare for her ancestor to utter such high praise.

"Ancestor, is what you're saying true?"

After pondering for a long time, Elder Lei slowly said, "Hmm, to fight to a standstill against the Ancient Spirit Elder of the Immortal Origin Clan, even among the many Nascent Soul cultivators, how many can achieve that?"

"You should know that Elder Gu Ling of the Immortal Yuan Clan used the famous 'Eight Desolate Burning Gold Spear' on the Spirit Realm Creation Golden Scroll Ranking, but even that couldn't do anything to this person."

"And if it weren't for the appearance of that Mahayana Celestial Venerable, it seems that Fellow Daoist Qin still had many trump cards he hadn't used."

"His physical combat strength alone is comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. This is the first time I have ever seen such a person. If he grows up in the future, his path to immortality will be limitless."

"Given this person's luck, he probably won't stop here."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess was also greatly shocked by Qin Ming, this mysterious human cultivator, and remained speechless for a long time.
……

……

Half a month later.

Qin Ming returned to the ice mountain where he had previously secluded himself for cultivation, and took the opportunity to check on Xiao Qing's condition; everything seemed normal.

"I wonder how long it will take Xiaoqing to break through and advance this time. Will it delay Master's important matters?"

Qin Ming also assigned the Sky-Devouring Rat to look after Xiao Qing. It said to the little silver fox beside it.

The little silver fox watched as Xiao Qing's body grew stronger day by day, showing no signs of stopping, and then replied:

"Probably not. I received a response from Xiaoqing a few days ago, saying it will be soon."

"What? This guy only tells you and not me? That's really outrageous! I've been so good to it and shared so many good things with it all this time!" Devouring Sky was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Qin Ming shook his head as he looked at his several spirit beasts and immediately returned to his cave.

He has now gathered all the necessary spiritual materials according to the pill formula hidden on the stone tablet, and is ready to begin refining the Azure Creation Pill.

This is a miraculous elixir that can grant a Nascent Soul cultivator an extra life out of thin air; it's a relic from the True Immortal Realm.

Although there may be only a handful of these pills among the ancient ruins.

However, there are certainly no cultivators in the entire Spirit Realm who can refine this pill.

Qin Ming had already thoroughly mastered the pill formula and refining method through decades of exploration.

Those three drops of divine milk from creation were enough for him to try three times.

After all, this was the first time he had ever refined a seventh-grade top-quality elixir, and it was an extremely difficult healing elixir to refine.

He flicked his sleeve forward, and all the spiritual materials floated around him.

The Divine Milk of Creation, the Azure Spirit Grass, the Immortal Tree Spirit Mushroom, and the Source Root—all are top-tier spiritual objects in the spirit world.

Those medicinal herbs that weren't old enough have been artificially matured to the required age by the cultivation entries.

The spirit seed is still preserved in the small spirit realm. If he can still obtain the Creation God Milk, he can refine it in the future.

After all, some of the ingredients are rare even for cultivators at the Mahayana stage.

Such rare spiritual materials should naturally be produced in greater quantities to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

In the future, he can take it out and trade it with other like-minded people.

If Qin Ming hadn't made a deal with Nightmare Ancestor and the dwarf elder, the Mahayana Celestial Venerable, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather the necessary spiritual materials.

Qin Ming raised his hand again and released the Xuanling Treasure Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

He took this treasure from the Devouring Sky Rat and used it temporarily. Then, with a thought, he contacted the Golden Crow Fire Spirit, and the eighth-order Primordial Poison Flame transformed into a firebird and flew out, the blue-green flames beginning to warm the furnace.

Next, he began to break down the spiritual materials, refining them into medicinal embryos.
Time flies.

Several more months have passed.

The cave was filled with an icy blue light, and Qin Ming's alchemy progress was coming to an end.

The process of refining the Azure Creation Pill is extremely complicated and tedious.

Ordinary alchemists simply cannot master such a difficult alchemy technique.

Qin Ming possesses a Xuanling treasure as his alchemy furnace, along with the assistance of an eighth-order Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, and a divine soul power comparable to the peak of the Integration Realm.

The combination of various conditions led to a sudden increase in the success rate of alchemy.

Finally, after failing twice at the very beginning, Qin Ming succeeded in his third attempt at making pills.

Suddenly, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron shone brightly, radiating a strange icy blue light, and countless spiritual runes from the True Immortal Realm emerged, swirling and undulating above the cauldron.

In an instant, an extremely rich aura of immortal energy wafted out from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

Gradually, the spirit runes that were floating in the void were attracted by the alchemy furnace and began to condense at its core.

When Qin Ming activated the alchemy technique and cast a rune, he completed the final step of condensing the pill.

Inside the alchemy furnace, three spiritual pills, shimmering with azure Dao essence, floated silently.

The moment the Azure Creation Pill was completed, a breathtaking phenomenon of a celestial realm appeared on the ice mountain where the cave was located.

Fortunately, Qin Ming's location was quite remote and sparsely populated, with almost no one passing by.

Amidst the purple clouds and rosy mist, a graceful immortal appears, holding a jade ruyi scepter and a precious bottle that sprinkles down sweet rain, from which the power of creation and life force emerges.

Divine light shines everywhere, and spring returns to the earth.

Wherever the light passed, even withered spiritual plants and dying demonic beasts nearby were instantly brought back to life.
The strange phenomenon lasted for a full half-day.

After the strange phenomena of heaven and earth dissipated, a huge red tribulation cloud began to gather in the sky, intending to destroy the heaven-defying elixir that should not have appeared in the first place.

The crimson-red calamity descended with a roar, each wave possessing a power far exceeding that of a fusion stage cultivator.

Seeing this, Qin Ming waved his hand, and the Primordial Poison Flame instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire, lying across the ice mountain.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Boom!
Amidst flashes of lightning, the Primordial Poisonous Flame unleashed astonishing power, instantly freezing the bolts of tribulation lightning within its spiritual flame.

"Even freezing those undergoing the Core Formation Tribulation, young friend Qin's Primordial Poison Flame is truly becoming more and more domineering."

Seeing this, even the old demon Qingyang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Qin Ming easily resolved the pill tribulation.

And at that very moment.

The three Azure Creation Pills inside the alchemy furnace gained sentience and took form, each transforming into a three-headed spirit beast, attempting to break free of the furnace and escape.

However, a devouring power erupted from the Xuanling Treasure Devouring Heaven Cauldron, and Qin Ming didn't even need to lift a finger to retrieve the three pills.

No matter how much the three spirit beasts struggled, they could not break free from the control of the spirit cauldron.

Qin Ming immediately reached out and summoned three miraculous pills brimming with life-giving energy, which fell into his hand.

He smiled slightly as he looked at the pill in his palm.

He was quite proud of successfully refining this kind of pill formula that had fallen from the Realm of True Immortals.

Although the Azure Creation Pill only works on cultivators in the Integration Stage, its special effects are comparable to those of an eighth-grade spiritual pill.

These three pills are something that cultivators at the Integration Stage would fight tooth and nail for.

Even cultivators at the peak of the Integration Realm can use it.

After all, every breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage involves facing a terrifying minor tribulation. Having this pill to save one's life increases the chances of victory.

If this were held at a large-scale auction in the spirit world, it would be enough to cause a huge stir.

Qin Ming took out a special white jade porcelain bottle and put away the three pills.

Afterwards, he spent several days restoring his magical power before leaving the ice mountain cave.

From this point on, he could be considered a seventh-tier top-grade alchemist.

Alchemists of this caliber are extremely rare, even in the entire Spirit Realm.

Even among those powerful clans, he would be treated as an honored guest, holding an extremely prestigious position.

Apart from the Mahayana Celestial Venerable, all of them can be worshipped as ancestors.

Having a seventh-tier top-grade alchemist is also an important foundation for becoming a powerful clan.

After all, it can foster more high-level cultivators, especially the Void Refinement stage cultivators who are the backbone of the field, as well as the Integration stage cultivators at the upper level.

After leaving the cave, Qin Ming flew to the depths of the icy seabed to check on Xiao Qing's condition.

However, when he reached the depths of the ocean, after only a short time, Xiao Qing's enormous body had already grown to a staggering 100,000 zhang in size.
Its aura has also reached the seventh level.

Such an astonishing change left Qin Ming speechless:

"This is only the infancy stage."

"What would happen if it grew to adulthood?"

Kunpeng truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Ten Great Ancient Spirits. Once it completes its transformation, the force of its single collision will be enough to cause a small world to collapse.
The Devouring Rat, perched atop Xiao Qing's mountain-like back, perked up the moment it saw Qin Ming arrive!
It trotted up to Qin Ming, smiled, and said, "Master, have you finished refining that divine pill?"

Qin Ming nodded: "That's natural."

Immediately, the Devouring Rat rubbed its little hands together, "My Devouring Cauldron..."

"Don't worry, this treasure has already been refined by you, why would I take it back?" Qin Ming said, taking out the Devouring Heaven Cauldron and returning it to it.

The Devouring Rat took the Spirit Cauldron, stroked it lovingly for a while, and then swallowed it into its stomach.

Then, pointing to Xiao Qing beneath him, he said, "This guy is really growing fast; every few days, he gets a whole size bigger."

Qin Ming nodded in agreement, worried that Xiao Qing's breakthrough might attract the attention of powerful beings in the spirit world.

So, Xiaoqing was taken back into the Little Spirit Realm.

The spiritual vein environment of the Lesser Spirit Realm has now reached the seventh-order grade, and it also has the Azure Sky Tree and the seventh-order top-grade Spirit Eye Spring.

Even after Xiaoqing advances to the next level, it will still be able to meet the requirements for cultivation.

After Qin Ming took away the spirit pet, he calculated the time and realized that it was almost time for the entrance to the Myriad Spirits Realm to open.

So they packed up the iceberg's cave, left the Extreme Ice Domain, and headed towards their destination according to the coordinates provided by the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers.
