Chapter 891 - 670: Throwing Stones at Rats, Fearing the Damage – Visitors (Part 2)
"If I could bring it to my father, it would certainly be a great achievement."
"Neither type of Spirit Rice has worked out well, and right now, I am planning to visit Little Turtle Peak to see if I can trade for some Demon Grain Spirit Rice from that Loose Cultivator."
After saying that, his gaze fell on Qin Ming next to Yao Tiannan. He slightly released his Divine Thought to scan but it was instantly rebounded as if hitting a mountain.
’Hmm? A late-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator? Or even stronger?’
Jiang Tian’s pupils suddenly contracted!
He couldn’t help but be extremely astonished in his heart.
Yet, he had never heard of such a high-level cultivator joining Yao Tiannan’s side as a Star Guard!
Therefore, Jiang Tian changed the topic and asked, "Brother Yao, this Fellow Daoist is...?"
"Oh, what a coincidence, this Fellow Daoist Lii is actually the Loose Cultivator from Little Turtle Peak. Now he has joined my Star Guard Squad serving in logistics. If you have any matters, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you can speak directly with Fellow Daoist Lii now."
Yao Tiannan knew Jiang Tian’s intentions, nothing more than wanting to rely on his rank and status to forcefully acquire Spirit Rice from Qin Ming.
Thus, he spoke plainly. Now that Qin Ming is one of ours, if I can’t even protect him, how can I still call myself a captain?
Turned out as expected.
When Jiang Tian heard that the plain-looking middle-aged cultivator in front of him was indeed the master of Little Turtle Peak, he was utterly stunned on the spot.
"What??"
"This Fellow Daoist is the master of Little Turtle Peak?"
Now his original calculations were completely disturbed.
Not to mention that the other person was Yao Tiannan’s man, the late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation alone was enough for him to feel three points of dread.
"Haha, isn’t that a coincidence!"
"I have long admired the Demon Grain Spirit Rice, so I just wanted to exchange for some, nothing else. I hope Fellow Daoist Lii won’t take offense," Jiang Tian chuckled dryly, then said.
Qin Ming smiled coldly to himself, if this guy didn’t have a good father, he would’ve been reduced to fertilizer for his Spirit Field by now.
Therefore, he just said indifferently, "I am truly sorry Fellow Daoist Jiang, all the Demon Grain Spirit Rice has been sold at auction and I have none left at present."
"Not sure when the next season’s Spirit Rice will mature either."
"Uh... that’s really a shame!" Jiang Tian’s face twitched upon hearing that.
It was evident the other party didn’t want to trade, so he could only laugh awkwardly and then cupped hands in thanks, "Since that’s the case, I have some important matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first."
Both Yao Tiannan and Qin Ming nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Thereafter.
Jiang Tian led his team away quickly.
After they exited the main city district.
Jiang Tian’s face turned sinister as he said, "I didn’t expect Yao Tiannan’s lot to get ahead of me, also unaware from where he found such a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator... and still a High-Tier Spirit Plant Master."
"The Demon Grain Spirit Rice, is definitely also in Yao Tiannan’s hands."
"Moreover, I feel that Fellow Daoist Lii looked at me strangely, as if we had met somewhere before..."
Saying this, Jiang Tian looked puzzled and uncertain.
For a moment just now, he even had a chill run down his spine...
Who knows if it was just his illusion.
"Captain Jiang, what do we do now?" asked a Star Guard.
Jiang Tian’s eyes flickered as he said coldly, "What I’ve set my sights on, I always get."
"As far as I know, Yao Tiannan’s squad will soon undertake a C-Class Task to the Netherworld Abyss, that Lii-surnamed fellow might not follow, we shall confront him then."
"..."
...
Inside the Celestial Palace Treasure Tower.
Shopkeeper Cao, to express gratitude for the patronage of Qin Ming and Yao Tiannan, specially had a grand table of Immortal Mansion delicacies and Spirit Wine prepared.
Yao Tiannan also called in his seven or eight Star Guard members for Qin Ming to get acquainted with.
"Come, with Fellow Daoist Lii joining us from now on, our squad’s logistics will be secured, we can work boldly and assuredly!"
"Let’s toast to Fellow Daoist Lii together!"
After three rounds of drinks, amidst the clinking of glasses.
Qin Ming subtly gathered some recent intelligence and news from them.
After all, Yao Tiannan, in Celestial Star City, was a person of authority and also had a master who was an Elder at the Void Refining Stage.
Such a person is bound to have first access to high-level intelligence in the Cultivation Realm.
This was one of the reasons Qin Ming was willing to engage with him.
Should this person survive the Netherworld Abyss, he’d also be a valuable source of intel for Qin Ming.
After staying in the city for several days.
Qin Ming bid farewell to Yao Tiannan, explored Celestial Star City a bit himself, and purchased some necessary Spiritual Objects.
Then he returned to Little Turtle Peak.
He didn’t expect that on this trip he’d incidentally acquire a Tier Six Pill Formula, which was the Blood Soul Nirvana Pill of the Demon Race.
Looks like his several Spirit Pets might have promising futures in Immortal Dao!
Qin Ming transformed into a green streak shooting towards the main peak.
Only to see at the main peak’s Cave Mansion entrance, the Heaven-Devouring Rat, which was lively and energetic when he left, was now sleeping soundly hugging its Black Steel Fork.
And its snoring was thunderous to the extent of shaking the heavens.
Hooooo!!
Seemingly sensing Qin Ming’s return, it scrambled up from the ground, wiped the drool from its mouth, and with a grin quickly greeted, "Master, you’re back so soon? Hehe!"
Qin Ming reached out to pat its head, "Is this how you guard my Cave Mansion? Sleeping like this, wouldn’t even know if the place got robbed."
