Otherwise, Elder Cold Crow wouldnât let him leave here so easily.
"Deal." Qin Ming agreed with a nod, almost without thinking.
After all, the one swearing the oath was âShopkeeper Luâ, what does it have to do with him, Qin Ming?
Therefore, it didnât matter to him.
Then.
The young man in a blue robe performed an incantation with one hand, producing a mysterious rune in the air, a breath of Great Dao circulating within.
Qin Ming followed him, imitating his oath.
After he finished swearing by his Dao Heart, Elder Cold Crow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He took out a long wooden box from his embrace and directly threw it to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming raised his hand to capture it, removing the spiritual prohibition on it, then opened the lid.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a beam of golden light burst forth from the wooden box, accompanied by a breath of Dao spirit essence.
The mere phenomenon of its spirit essence indicated that it contained a spiritual object of Tier Four or higher.
Qin Ming was inwardly thrilled, yet remained calm on the surface.
He saw inside, quietly lying a Spirit Ginseng emitting Five Elements Spiritual Qi.
Most importantly, its roots were preserved extremely well, its spiritual power had not dissipated.
However, Elder Cold Crow did not know.
Qin Ming could cultivate enough Spirit Ginseng using the [Regenerative Spirit Seed] and [Leaf of Space-Time] entries.
He carefully re-sealed the lid, applying the spiritual prohibition.
Thus, Qin Ming had gathered all five main materials for refining the Nascent Condensation Pill.
Only a few auxiliary materials were left before he could start pill creation.
On Hua Tianxiongâs side, it was believed that he could collect these auxiliary materials soon.
Qin Ming stored the Five Elements Spirit Ginseng, then produced an exquisite jade bottle, controlling it to present to the young man in a blue robe.
Elder Cold Crow took the jade bottle, and when he opened the lid, despite his profound insight, he showed a slight expression of surprise.
"So it is indeed a Tier Three High-Grade Nine Yang Soul Reviving Pill."
"The Spirit Pillâs quality is superior, its medicinal power intact."
"Little one, you havenât disappointed this ancestor."
Qin Ming bowed slightly, saying courteously: "As long as Elder Cold Crow is satisfied."
"Then... if thereâs nothing else, I shall take my leave without disturbing Elderâs meditation."
Having obtained the Spirit Ginseng, Qin Ming naturally wanted to leave swiftly; staying a moment longer with this old monster was like sitting on pins and needles.
The young man in the blue robe put away the pill but said calmly: "Wait!"
Hmm?
Qin Ming immediately furrowed his eyebrows, halting his body about to leave.
He didnât know what remedy this old monster was selling in his gourd.
With a smile on his face, Qin Ming asked the young man in the blue robe:
"Elder, is there anything else?"
The young man in the blue robe paused, then said calmly:
"You shouldnât have only this one Nine Yang Soul Reviving Pill with you, right?"
"This ancestor can exchange other resources with you, or even owe you a favor."
"You can demand this favor whenever you like, as long as itâs within this ancestorâs ability and not too excessive; I would agree."
"As for the Five Elements Spirit Ginseng, you need not consider, there was only that one stock."
Upon hearing this.
Qin Ming couldnât help but reveal an astonished expression.
It seems Elder Cold Crow wanted to acquire more pills at once rather than feel secure with just one.
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, pondering.
Forming good relations and avoiding enmity, practicing stable cultivation, is his conduct principle.
Though currently, Elder Cold Crow is down on his luck, fallen into dire straits, but if he rebounds, itâs quite possible.
Regarding the favor, Qin Ming already had the great backing of the Great Saint Yue Lingyan of the Demon Race.
Elder Cold Crowâs favor, he wouldnât find useful.
Better to be realistic and seize the chance to exchange for some rare spiritual materials.
Besides, the Nine Yang Soul Reviving Pill was not particularly useful to him.
The two remaining pills Qin Ming had would likely be exchanged for other cultivation resources or sold.
Better to do a favor at the drop of a hat.
This Elder Cold Crow was truly as Hua Tianxiong said, profoundly wise while appearing simple-minded.
To endure and survive under the invasion of the Devilâs way in the Great Li Dynasty and the Celestial Demonâs Tribulation.
Kept the core of Xuanqing Temple perfectly intact.
Perhaps one day heâll rebound, restoring his peak days.
Maintaining a good relationship now with the opponent would not be a bad move.
Thinking of this, Qin Mingâs mind was already decided.
Immediately, he retrieved another Nine Yang Soul Reviving Pill and handed it to the young man in the blue robe.
"Elder Cold Crow, this junior only has one more Spirit Pill left, no more than that."
"Since...the Five Elements Spirit Ginseng is no longer available, other Tier Four spiritual materials would be acceptable."
Elder Cold Crow was somewhat surprised by these words.
Because normally, cultivators would choose to secure a favor from a Nascent Soul True Monarch upon hearing his conditions.
After all, spiritual materials are lifeless objects, whereas favors can be vital for survival at critical moments.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Lu decisively chose to exchange for spiritual materials.
This couldnât help but make him view this âShopkeeper Luâ more highly.
Elder Cold Crow said no more, immediately took out several precious Tier Four spiritual materials for him to choose.
Qin Ming was dazzled by the myriad treasures.
Indeed, Xuanqing Temple was a deeply rooted Nascent Soul Sect; even a scant amount leaked through Elder Cold Crowâs fingers would be enough fortune for a bottom-tier cultivatorâs lifetime.
No wonder the Blood Refining Demon Sect cultivators pursued Elder Cold Crow relentlessly.
Of course, Qin Ming had no such thoughts, nor did he aspire to acquire these treasures through plunder.
