A hint of caution flashed in Qin Ming's heart.

In fact, not long ago, relying on his powerful divine thought, he had already discovered that the other party had been tailing him.

He just pretended not to notice.

In such a large Vast Sea Immortal City, how could it be so coincidental to meet here?

"Elder Luo, I fear it's not a coincidence, is it? You've been following me for quite a while, just say what you want." Qin Ming directly exposed the other's actions.

Luo Rong, having his trick seen through, gave an awkward laugh, "I forgot Fellow Daoist Qin is a Tier Two Alchemist Master, with a divine soul different from ordinary people, I didn't expect such a small trick couldn't fool you."

"Sigh, Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm still after that Jade Marrow Mushroom, I really have use for it, could you let it go to me?"

"Name your terms."

Qin Ming did not expect that the other party would still be fixated on the Jade Marrow Mushroom.

What exactly is he up to?

"Elder Luo, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this Jade Marrow Mushroom is of great use to me as well, no matter what price you offer, I will not sell it." Qin Ming straightforwardly refused.

Luo Rong, being rejected twice in a row, was enraged, and exclaimed angrily, "You brat, I was speaking to you kindly out of respect for Pavilion Master Guu, didn't expect you to be so ungrateful!"

"Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Qin Ming remained composed upon hearing this, "Within Vast Sea Immortal City, you indeed dare not do anything to me."

"Heh, fine! Fine!" Luo Rong was furious to the point of laughing bitterly.

Qin Ming also didn't expect, that failing to entice, the other party would simply resort to coercion.

"I'm also puzzled, Elder Luo is so attached to this defective Jade Marrow Mushroom, what exactly do you plan to do with it?"

"Could you tell me, maybe I'll change my mind."

Luo Rong snorted coldly, "Hmph! Still trying to trick me into talking."

"You're still too young for that."

"Well then, since Elder Luo is unwilling to say more, I'll be taking my leave first." Qin Ming finished speaking, completely ignoring the other party, and stepped out of the shop.

Leaving behind Luo Rong, who was fuming with anger.

Luo Rong clenched his teeth so hard they creaked, never had a Qi Cultivator dared speak to him like that before.

...

Qin Ming returned to the Mirror Snow Pavilion and recounted the event to Guu Qingzhao.

Seeking her opinion.

"This Luo Rong used to be an ordinary Qi Cultivator of the Hundred Flowers Sect, reportedly expelled from his sect for violating sect rules."

"He got lucky afterward, acquiring a Foundation Establishment Pill from an unnamed cave mansion, and successfully established a foundation."

"This person is rather narrow-minded."

"Should I step in and give him a warning?"

Qin Ming waved it off, "No need, I've been out for three days, I need to get back to tend to the spirit field, I'll head back directly to Wangyue Island."

"Alright, I shall have someone escort Fellow Daoist Qin, just in case," Guu Qingzhao said with a hint of concern.

Qin Ming waved his hand, saying, "No need, I have my own way of dealing with him, Fellow Daoist Guu need not worry."

Seeing this, Guu Qingzhao said no more.

The main purpose of this trip having been achieved, Qin Ming bid farewell to Guu Qingzhao and left.

Before leaving, Guu Qingzhao returned the gesture.

Gifted him a few jars of aged and fine spirit wine.

"The other three Youthful Appearance Pills commissioned by Fellow Daoist Qin for auction will be auctioned at the largest auction in Vast Sea Immortal City in three months. You are welcome to watch then."

Qin Ming accepted the fine wine with a smile, then smiled, "Fellow Daoist Guu can handle the auction for me, just have Aunt Long give me the extra spirit stones."

Guu Qingzhao nodded.

"Alright then, I'm off, Fellow Daoist Guu, you are welcome to visit Wangyue Island anytime."

Bidding farewell to her.

Qin Ming walked onto the main street of Vast Sea Immortal City.

Exiting the gates of Immortal City, he immediately mounted the Spiritual Light Shuttle, flying towards the Spirit Nest Islands with all his might.

A figure followed swiftly behind him.

Qin Ming spread his divine thought and quickly discovered the person behind him.

The person was none other than Luo Rong.

Qin Ming's lips curled into a smirk; Luo Rong had indeed caught up, as expected.

He drove the Spiritual Light Shuttle at full throttle, with his current cultivation, flying at full speed was effortless.

The shuttle trailed a long blue gleam, disappearing into the horizon.

Luo Rong chased after him, sweating profusely, the distance gradually widening.

Qin Ming sensed his surroundings with divine thought.

After confirming there was no one.

He suddenly slowed down, circling around a mountain peak before coming to a stop.

He purposely lured Luo Rong out, wanting to see what trick he had up his sleeve.

"This should do, right here."

Half a cup of tea time later.

Luo Rong caught up, just as he was using divine thought to search for Qin Ming's location.

Boom!

From a position to the side, a blaze of icy blue flames suddenly shot out, heading straight for his face.

Feeling the intense heat of the flames, Luo Rong was startled to the core by the unexpected strike.

This icy blue flame gave him a strong sense of heart palpitations.

Luo Rong hurriedly retrieved a Black Umbrella Defense Spiritual Artifact, barely blocking the attack.

But still, several blue flames landed on him.

Instantly, a severe burning sensation was felt, and he quickly used mana to extinguish the blue flames.

Just as he was about to make his next move.

Luo Rong's face suddenly stiffened, revealing a look of terror.

He felt his mana was rapidly depleting.

Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame, once sticking on would cling like a maggot to bones, as if fire had entered an oil pan, starting to rapidly consume his mana.

Within just a few breaths.

Luo Rong felt his mana, like a breached dam, was being drained uncontrollably.

His face turned ash and trembled, his mana largely consumed.

And the more he used mana, the faster it burned.

Maintaining his flight was becoming near impossible.

"W-What kind of monstrosity is this?!"

Luo Rong appeared aghast, teetering, and fell towards the mountain below.

Qin Ming watched everything coldly, then chased after him in a flash.

With a wave of his hand, the Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame returned to his grasp.

Qin Ming landed in front of Luo Rong and asked flatly, "Elder Luo, where are you going? Weren't you chasing quite intensely just now?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's a misunderstanding..." Luo Rong's face looked drained, it was evident his mana had bottomed out.

His lips trembled, showing signs of pleading.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator without a trace of mana was akin to a toothless tiger.

This eerie and unpredictable flame that could burn a cultivator's mana, was something he encountered for the first time, and he had no solution at all.

"Speak, what use do you have for that defective Jade Marrow Mushroom?"

Luo Rong, crumpled like slop, lay limp on the ground, shaking, and said, "It's for brewing Foundation Establishment Wine, Fellow Daoist Qin, I was wrong, spare me!"

"I am willing to offer the brewing method!"

At this moment, he didn't care about the dignity of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Watching Qin Ming slowly approaching him step by step, his heart frightened to the extreme.

Qin Ming was stunned to hear this.

Foundation Establishment Wine? Such a thing existed?

Then he flicked a black seed at the struggling Luo Rong on the ground, casting a Thorn Technique.

After several screams, there was a dried corpse and a blood pearl the size of an egg on the ground.

He collected the blood pearl, then picked up Luo Rong's storage pouch, erased the restriction with divine thought, and opened it to take a look.

Searching around, he finally found what he was looking for in a corner.
