Chapter 518 - 429: Nascent Soul Ceremony
"So it is Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood from the East Sea Cultivation Realm, please come in!"
Qin Ming made a gesture of invitation, his attitude exceedingly enthusiastic as he invited.
Master Lihuo, standing nearby, couldn’t help but twitch his face slightly.
This young man certainly didn’t show the same attitude towards him earlier.
"Then I would be discourteous to refuse this invitation." True Monarch Dragon Wood nodded slightly.
When Qin Ming returned to the Southern Wilderness, he learned quite a bit about the East Sea Cultivation Realm from the conversations between Yue Lingyan and Shi Jin, the captain of the Black Sail.
The East Sea used to be a large cultivation realm that consistently produced Venerable Divinity Transformations.
The Penglai Sect had also once birthed Venerable Divinity Transformations, and it is said that there is a heritage of the Penglai Immortal Tree, ensuring the continuation of their legacy, making it only a matter of time before another Divinity Transformation appears.
A large sect like Penglai Sect certainly wouldn’t lack Great Cultivators at the mid to late-stage Nascent Soul either.
And now, the silver-haired old woman ’True Monarch Dragon Wood’ before them came from the ’Penglai Immortal Sect’.
Compared to the Penglai Immortal Sect, Lihuo Palace’s level is indeed much lower.
After all, Lihuo Palace has never birthed any Divinity Transformation Cultivators; the founding ancestor only reached the late-stage Nascent Soul and is currently nowhere to be found.
Who is stronger or weaker.
Qin Ming could observe a thing or two from Master Lihuo’s attitude towards True Monarch Dragon Wood.
The three of them descended onto the island.
When passing by the Spirit Field on the main peak, True Monarch Dragon Wood couldn’t help but stop to look around.
"Dragon Blood Divine Tree, Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach, Three-Red Soul Reviving Grass, Jade Emperor Spirit Rice..."
She named these rare Spirit Plants, seldom seen by the outside world, as if listing her family treasures.
"I had previously held a skeptical attitude towards the myriad rumors about Fellow Daoist Qin, but now, having seen it with my own eyes, Fellow Daoist Qin’s mastery of Spirit Plants has indeed reached the Transformation Realm, even surpassing it."
True Monarch Dragon Wood’s gaze was profound, and when she saw the abundance of Spirit Plants on the main peak, she showed a highly appreciative expression.
Qin Ming was slightly surprised: "It seems Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood, might also be someone well-versed in this path?"
At this moment,
Master Lihuo, standing beside, explained upon hearing:
"Fellow Daoist Qin is correct, Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood deeply grasped the legacy of Spiritual Plants from the Penglai Immortal Sect and is a genuine Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master."
His implication was also to remind Qin Ming that the status and position of a Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master is clearly greater than an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Even within the circle of Nascent Soul, it’s an extraordinarily unique existence, let alone considering the other party’s substantial background.
Master Lihuo met True Monarch Dragon Wood at an exchange meeting between fellow cultivators, though they actually weren’t very familiar with each other.
He spoke out to remind, also hoping Qin Ming would act prudently, to avoid the rashness of youth and say something inappropriate.
"Oh, is that so?"
"I didn’t realize Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood is a Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Plant Master, my apologies!"
Even though Qin Ming had many Tier Four Spirit Plants in his Little Spirit Realm, he still maintained a humble and courteous demeanor.
"These little skills of mine, let Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood flatter me undeservedly."
Yet, True Monarch Dragon Wood shook her head, "Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin is quite humble; although what’s planted here are mainly Tier Three Spirit Plants, cultivating them to such quality still requires extremely profound skills."
Recognizing excellence, she could tell the ingenuity at a glance, unlike others.
Some Spirit Plants extinct in the cultivation realm could still be seen here, which speaks volumes.
True Monarch Dragon Wood is deeply attuned to the Path of Spiritual Plants, essentially having a special fondness for it.
While attending business in the Black Sea, she heard that the newly ascended Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm came from a Spirit Farmer background and was a Spirit Plant Master, ascending step by step, which piqued her curiosity.
If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, she wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of coming here.
True Monarch Dragon Wood had her plans for coming; if True Monarch Wangyue was all name and no substance, she intended merely to greet and leave.
But if the other party indeed had unique insights into the path of Spiritual Plants, she was inclined to make connections...
From the first moment she saw Qin Ming, although he seemed unremarkable, her sixth sense was extraordinarily strong.
Although Qin Ming had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, she felt an inscrutable aura about him.
After observing on Spirit Island firsthand, it further confirmed her speculation.
After entering the grand hall.
Qin Ming served spiritual tea to the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood, this is Snow Soul Spirit Tea, a specialty of this island that I personally cultivated. Please taste it and see what you think."
True Monarch Dragon Wood smiled gently, taking a sip: "Indeed, it is a rare and excellent tea."
She then put down the teacup and took out a meticulously crafted pill bottle, handing it to Qin Ming: "I wish Fellow Daoist Qin great success in your Nascent Soul cultivation, may your Immortal Dao be evergreen. It’s a trivial gift, nothing major."
"Then I thank Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood very much." Qin Ming did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted the pill from her hand.
With just a slight opening, a strange scent of the pill immediately spread throughout the grand hall.
He saw inside, there lay three pale purple Spirit Pills, exuding a strong pill halo.
Master Lihuo’s eyebrows twitched, immediately moved when he saw the pill:
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Wood, what a generous gift... it’s the Purifying Void Pill!"
"Purifying Void Pill?" Qin Ming asked, perplexed.
His "Source Dao Pill Scripture" and "Blood Refining Pill Scripture" did not have any records of it.
It seemed to be a unique Spirit Pill for the Nascent Soul Stage, exclusive to the East Sea Cultivation Realm.
