Chapter 466: Chapter 401: Monsters and Spirits Gather at the Five Elements Mountain Range

"Gao Feng and Liuu Ye have both been dispatched to the outer perimeter patrol camp nowadays."

Although Han Yuan said this, Qin Ming could still perceive a trace of pride in his expression.

Obviously, being in charge of patrols within the market is considered a plum job. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Usually, Han Yuan and his two companions were quite friendly, and thanks to Qin Ming’s personal connections, they often looked after the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, why not join me at the Wind-Riding Tower for a chat?"

"I find your Mirror Snow Pavilion too lively, too many people and too many eyes," Han Yuan suggested.

Qin Ming nodded in agreement, "Very well."

He also wanted to inquire with Han Yuan about some recent insider information.

Soon after.

The two of them arrived at a window-side table on the third floor of the Wind-Riding Tower, ordered some wine and food, and began to converse.

It wasn’t mealtime at the moment, and they were the only ones on the entire third floor.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn’t expect your connections to be so extensive! You even managed to acquire the Celestial Net Powder, such a miraculous medicine capable of bringing back the dead."

"Nowadays, the line of cultivators waiting to purchase medicine at the Mirror Snow Pavilion stretches for two miles every day, it’s truly astonishing, haha!"

"Now, a bottle of Celestial Net Powder has been bid up to twenty High-Grade Spirit Stones, yet many factions are still vying for it!"

"Fellow Daoist Han, you flatter me, it’s just a small business."

Although Qin Ming anticipated that the life-saving elixir would be in high demand, he didn’t expect it to reach such an outrageous level.

He then took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and placed it in front of Han Yuan, "Haha! Over the years, thanks to the care of you three fellow Daoists for my pavilion, here’s a small token of appreciation from me."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you’re being too formal," Han Yuan said, opening the jade bottle only to be stunned.

"Celestial Net Powder!!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this item is far too precious, how can I accept it?"

Han Yuan knew well that with all three of them in patrol positions, they inevitably had to engage in confrontations with others.

This medicine could save their lives in critical situations.

"It’s just a bit of spirit medicine, Fellow Daoist Han, please don’t decline," Qin Ming said with a faint smile.

Han Yuan, showing an excited expression, reluctantly accepted the elixir, saying earnestly, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lu. If you ever need any assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to ask."

"I also toast to Fellow Daoist Lu on behalf of Gao Feng and Liuu Ye, here’s some Jade Wave Wine, newly launched by the Wind-Riding Tower, you should try it."

"Both of them are busy with their duties outside and don’t have the luxury of enjoying such a treat."

Afterwards, Han Yuan began to talk to Qin Ming about some matters within the Guardian Dao Alliance.

He first poured a cup of spirit wine for Qin Ming, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I heard that a Nascent Soul True Monarch had once been to your Spirit Field, is this true?"

Qin Ming didn’t expect the other party to know even this, so he didn’t hide it and nodded.

"That’s correct, but that elder was just there to order some High-Tier Spirit Rice."

"They didn’t stay for long."

Gasp~

Upon confirming this from Qin Ming, Han Yuan was still somewhat surprised.

After all, such a figure is at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm, a true player who manipulates the chessboard.

"Fellow Daoist Lu... could you reveal which True Monarch elder it was?" Han Yuan’s gossipy side was piqued.

"It was Elder Cold Crow from Great Zhou Xuanqing Temple."

"I didn’t expect it to be Elder Cold Crow!" Han Yuan exclaimed, then continued, "Not long ago, True Monarch Cold Crow had already joined the Guardian Dao Alliance with Xuanqing Temple."

"Rumor has it that Elder Cold Crow was seriously injured, yet recovered so quickly."

"It’s truly incomprehensible..."

At this point.

Han Yuan raised his hand and cast a soundproof barrier, saying to Qin Ming, "I’ve heard some insider news within the alliance, something seems amiss in the Five Elements Mountain Range, something significant might happen."

"I suggest, Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have a way, it’s better to stay away from this troublesome place."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Han?" Qin Ming asked when he saw that the conversation had turned serious.

"It seems that the upper echelons of the Lihuo Palace, who were planted as spies in the Divine Dao Mountain, have secretly uncovered an extremely important intel within the Five Elements Mountain Range."

"Now, within the Guardian Dao Alliance, there’s a heightened state of alert and a sense of foreboding."

"Additionally, it can be confirmed that the Divine Dao Mountain has completely sided with the Great Li Yin Demon Sect, even without the matters of the Five Elements Mountain, it’s likely that the longstanding grievances between them will soon erupt again."

"Once the position of Divine Dao Mountain changes."

"A war will be inevitable."

"Therefore, the current Great Jin Southern Domain is not a safe place."

"The three of us have no control over our situation; we can no longer choose to escape."

"I’m sure Fellow Daoist Lu has also noticed the sudden increase of cultivators at the Five Elements Mountain Market. Among them, some are from various major forces secretly mobilizing their troops..."

After Han Yuan finished speaking, he sighed.

"I see, thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for informing me."

Qin Ming drank a cup of Spirit Wine, with thoughts running through his mind.

’It seems that the truth can’t be hidden forever. The matter regarding the Ancient Cyan Origin Sect’s secret realm couldn’t be concealed from the Lihuo Palace by Divine Dao Mountain and the Yin Demon Sect.’

’Thus, in the struggle for this secret realm, many cultivators will inevitably perish. A great battle can no longer be avoided.’

’At present, it’s only because the entrance to the secret realm has not been opened, as the Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree has yet to bloom, that these major forces haven’t torn each other apart.’

Qin Ming pondered for a long time before asking Han Yuan:

"What is the current state of the Guardian Dao Alliance’s internal composition?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yuan replied, "The Guardian Dao Alliance was initiated by the Lihuo Palace. The conditions for joining the alliance are extremely stringent."

"The Guardian Dao Alliance only accepts Nascent Soul Level forces, representing the top-tier powers of the cultivation realm. Currently, it consists of the Lihuo Palace, the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, Xuanqing Temple, and Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators."

"However, it is said that some forces with Golden Core Perfection Cultivators barely qualify."

"But it requires the evaluation of alliance members to pass."

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Han for the information. Actually, I had similar thoughts. In the past two years, I have secretly transferred Mirror Snow Pavilion’s assets to the Great Jin Central State." Qin Ming toasted Han Yuan with a cup of wine.

"It seems I worried unnecessarily. Fellow Daoist Lu’s foresight is impressive, and there’s no need for me to fret, haha!"

...

After some conversation between the two,

Han Yuan had to patrol and perform his duties in the market, so he bid farewell and got busy.

Qin Ming was left alone, sitting at a table by the window, savoring wine in solitude, while watching the bustling crowd on the street, deep in thought.

Soon, more cultivators came to the tavern for meals.

The third floor was also filled with people, growing lively.

The cultivators at the surrounding tables were buzzing with discussions.

"Alas, the price of Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Celestial Net Powder is outrageous! It has just risen to twenty High-Grade Spirit Stones in a few days."

"Who can afford that?"

"There are plenty of people who want it! After all, this medicine can instantly heal the wounds of even a Golden Core Cultivator, bringing them back from the brink of death."

"With this medicine, as long as it’s not instantly fatal injuries, it’s equivalent to having an extra life. Who wouldn’t want that?"

"Indeed, the more profound a cultivator’s level, the more they cherish their life."

"And it is said that if there are rare spiritual objects, they can also be exchanged!"

"Anyway, such luxurious items are out of our reach. Twenty High-Grade Spirit Stones are enough to buy several High-Tier Life-saving Spiritual Artifacts."

"By the way, there’s some exciting news. Have you heard it?"

"I heard that Su Yuqing, the Grandmaster from Longting Lake in Central State, Great Jin, has recently concocted a Tier Four Low-Grade Primordial Spirit Pill and has been promoted to the Pill King Realm."

"Master Su truly possesses extraordinary talent in the Alchemy Dao, becoming the youngest Tier Four Pill King in the history of the Great Jin Cultivation Realm."

"The Su Family of Longting Lake is said to have received an invitation from the Guardian Dao Alliance."

"The Lihuo Palace must be regretting allowing the Su Family to separate from their sect back then."

"As of now, the Lihuo Palace only has one Tier Four Pill King overseeing it."

"Tier Three High-Grade Celestial Net Powder is not something that can be concocted easily, and I heard that Mirror Snow Pavilion has some connections with Pill King Su."

"Could this medicine be made by him?"

"..."

Qin Ming, holding a wine cup, listened to the surrounding news, filled with silent amazement:

’I didn’t expect Brother Su to progress so quickly, quietly advancing to become a Tier Four Alchemist ahead of the rest.’

At this moment,

a person slowly walked up the staircase leading to the third floor.

This person’s attire was a black feathered robe, with a fair complexion, hair tied with a crown, and a slightly pointed nose. He wore straw shoes and maintained a faint smile on his face.

He surveyed the third floor, finding it fully occupied.

Then, his gaze landed on Qin Ming’s table by the window.

Seeing Qin Ming drinking alone, with an empty seat opposite him, the newcomer walked over, elegantly smiled, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, may I sit here?"
