Chapter 524 - 433: Star Moon Market
The Cold Crow Ascendant was stunned by Qin Ming.
’So this kid... wasn’t here to settle accounts with me...’
He let out a long sigh, then smiled as he accepted the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you’re too kind. How could I accept this? I saw that you were deep in conversation, and I happen to have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."
"It’s not like I’m leaving without saying goodbye, hehe."
He said as much, but showed no embarrassment, quietly pocketing the bag of Spirit Rice, his smile growing even broader.
"Ah! I should have realized that Shopkeeper Lu was you all along, otherwise how could ’Shopkeeper Lu’ in the late-stage Foundation Establishment be so close to the Silver Moon Demon Saint?"
"Now meeting again, Fellow Daoist Qin, and being among us peers, is truly a thing of great emotion."
"I hope you won’t mind past grievances."
The young man in the green robe, the Cold Crow Ascendant, seemed deeply moved.
"What past grievances?"
"I felt an instant connection with Fellow Daoist Cold Crow at first sight, and it feels as though we regret not meeting sooner. I’m afraid we’ll have to stay in touch more often in the future." Qin Ming said with a faint smile.
The Cold Crow Ascendant’s face twitched at these words, and he thought to himself: It’s best if we never meet again.
Because every time he met Qin Ming, misfortune seemed to follow.
Moreover,
The way Qin Ming looked at him always gave him an unsettling feeling.
The Cold Crow Ascendant had resolved that he must stay far away from this person in the future!
Meanwhile, Qin Ming was secretly contemplating how to befriend this fortunate cultivator before him.
Always able to bring good luck to himself.
Perhaps, he might become a moving treasure trove in the future.
"Since Fellow Daoist Cold Crow has urgent matters, I won’t insist on detaining you."
"I originally planned to invite you to stay a few more days on the island, to experience the charm of the Spirit Nest Islands."
"It seems we’ll have to save it for another time."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of staying longer, Qin Ming did not press further.
The Cold Crow Ascendant replied with a broad smile: "Fellow Daoist Qin, please stay, today time is tight, I still have to rush back to the Guardian Dao Alliance to handle the Demon Tribulation, we shall meet again if fated."
Then, without further ado, he transformed into a brilliant rainbow and disappeared into the sky...
After flying away far enough,
The Cold Crow Ascendant began cursing under his breath: "This kid always manages to cause no end of trouble for me, and the favor he owed me can be considered paid in full, it’s best if we never meet again, my patience has its limits!"
He then fished out that bag of Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, weighed it in his hand, as if smiling with profit: "I just hope that kid notices the flaw in that Void Origin Stone and can maintain such equanimity, hehe."
Qin Ming then watched the Cold Crow Ascendant leave and returned to Wangyue Island.
After the Nascent Soul Ceremony ended, the island returned to tranquility.
Yet the entire Spirit Nest Islands remain bustling, with many loose cultivators and forces, drawn by True Monarch Wangyue’s reputation, choosing to relocate their entire clan here.
Even though most here are Tier One Spirit Veins, soon under the leadership of the Four Nations Alliance and the 72 Island Loose Alliance, a large market was established— ’Star Moon Market’.
Facilitating trade between Spirit Islands.
It even attracted neighboring forces from the Three Kingdoms to settle here.
The merchants and loose cultivators coming to speculate here are too numerous to count.
For a time, the scale of the Star Moon Market surpassed any single large Immortal City among the Four Nations.
In this way, using a few islands at the center as a nucleus, numerous aerial bridges connected the surrounding dozens of small islands.
Countless magnificent architectural complexes rose from the Spirit Nest Islands, forming a gigantic sea-based market.
This Star Moon Market is jointly managed by the 72 Island Loose Alliance and the Four Nations Alliance.
Forces in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm all took pride in being able to establish themselves here.
The native cultivation clans of the Spirit Nest Islands stood at the forefront of this wave, soaring upwards.
With the heavy influx of resources.
Even many small Qi Cultivation clans managed to produce Foundation Establishment Cultivators, ascending to become Foundation Establishment Clans.
Foundation Establishment Pills would be auctioned off in the Star Moon Market every few years.
Under the influence of the Tier Four Spirit Vein of Wangyue Island, the nearby areas also gradually began to spawn several branches rich in Spiritual Qi.
...
At the main peak of Wangyue Island.
The Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine, in the Tier Four Spirit Vein environment, thrived with lush vines, its crown vast enough to overshadow the sky, silver runes spiraling and flickering.
Like a World Tree that has stood for eternity.
Even compared to that Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree guarding the Cyan Origin Sect’s Secret Realm entrance, it seemed even more mystical.
Yet all this, only Qin Ming himself could see.
After completing his daily cultivation practice, the mana aura emanating from Qin Ming’s body was like a terrifying abyss, unfathomable.
After cultivating the ’Cyan Emperor Technique’, a vibrant verdant vitality permeated and coiled around him, never dissipating.
Echoing with his Lifebound Spirit Plant from afar.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the divine technique of his Lifebound Spirit Plant, Four Seasons Divine Light, underwent another mutation.
Now it could produce seventy-two strands of the Four Seasons Divine Light at once.
He attempted it and found that he could even instantly regenerate life and flesh on dying spirit beasts or plants, bringing them back to life.
"Tsk tsk tsk, your divine technique is truly sharp! I’ve lived so many years and have never heard of anything like it, I wonder if it could work on me." Qingyang the Old Demon marveled endlessly within the Blood Massacre.
Appearing willing to be a test subject.
"In that case, let’s give it a try."
Hearing this, Qin Ming was also eager to try and proceeded to channel a strand of verdant Four Seasons Divine Light into the Blood Massacre.
