More than a month later.

In the back mountain of Wangyue Island, over a dozen strands of cyan Sword Qi crisscrossed, each possessing tremendous power.

Qin Ming formed the Cyan Nether Sword Technique with his hands, testing the power of the newly acquired Spiritual Artifact Dharma Sword.

His gaze was sharp as he pointed with his fingers while forming the technique.

In an instant, the dozen or so cyan Sword Qis in the sky merged into one, transforming into a massive cyan Sword Aura over ten feet long.

He controlled the Sword Aura, slashing it towards Wangyue Lake.

Boom!

A trench tens of feet long instantly appeared on the lake's surface, briefly forming a vacuum region.

If this sword strike landed on a person, even a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment practitioner would be hard-pressed to withstand it.

Qin Ming withdrew the Sword Technique, his expression showing clear satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, a cyan Spiritual Sword sliced through the air with precision, landing in his hand flawlessly.

Qin Ming gently wiped the sword's blade, unable to part with it.

This Tier Two Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, named the Cyan Simurgh Sword, was the proud creation of Master Fang Ye, the Artifact Refining Master from Vast Sea Immortal City.

Encompassing twenty-seven Dharma Prohibitions, it ranks among the upper-middle tier of Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

It cost Qin Ming over twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, yet it was worth the cost.

This was already the best-graded Spiritual Artifact available for purchase in Vast Sea Immortal City.

Having such a Spiritual Artifact in his possession gave Qin Ming a significant boost in confidence.

Better Spiritual Artifacts are hard to come by unless one customizes them with High-Tier Spiritual Materials, or waits for a fortuitous opportunity.

This sword was personally delivered by Aunt Long from the Mirror Snow Pavilion today.

As soon as he acquired the Cyan Simurgh Spirit Sword, Qin Ming couldn't wait to practice the Foundation Establishment Sword Technique from the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture.

After training for a while, Qin Ming put away his Spirit Sword and returned to his Cave Mansion.

During this period.

He also received a reply from Su Yuqing, who lavishly praised him in the jade scroll.

Additionally, it included several precious Pill Formulas.

Not only the two Pill Formulas he desired but also several usable during the Foundation Establishment Stage, along with insights on refining them.

"Sending so many good things, it's finally worthwhile!"

"Not a loss, not a loss!"

Qin Ming mused over the Pill Formulas with emotion.

The Pill Formulas he held, no matter where, were worth a fortune, perhaps even unobtainable in the Cultivation Realm of Wei Country.

Qin Ming's gaze fell on a Tier Two Low-Grade Pill Formula named 'Sinful Spirit Pill.'

It's a special pill capable of rapidly enhancing the cultivation of Demon Beasts.

The Pill Formula listed over twenty complex spiritual materials.

However, the Profound Water Crocodile and Six-winged Frost Bee, once matured, would become two great assets for him.

The necessary expense was inevitable.

Immediately.

Qin Ming made a trip down the island, instructing Wu Jiang to gather the spiritual materials for him.

When Qin Ming found Wu Jiang, he was diligently working with the Wu Clan members, farming on the outskirts of Spirit Island.

Upon receiving Qin Ming's task, Wu Jiang immediately dropped his Spiritual Hoe and left without a word.

In between, Qin Ming also visited Celestial River Market a few times to inquire about the High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

Meanwhile.

Recently, Mirror Snow Pavilion announced the auction of a Foundation Establishment Pill in Vast Sea Immortal City, like a bolt from the blue, quickly sparking widespread interest in the Cultivation Realm.

In no time, the prestige and influence of Mirror Snow Pavilion soared to unimaginable heights.

Countless cultivators spread the news, with various factions beginning to gather in Vast Sea Immortal City.

The last time Vast Sea Immortal City auctioned a Foundation Establishment Pill was decades ago.

This rare event would attract a great number of onlookers, even if they couldn't afford to participate, including many Loose Cultivators.

Qin Ming also received a message from Guu Qingzhao.

During this short time, Mirror Snow Pavilion has received numerous auction requests, including many rare treasures.

The High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood Qin Ming needed might very well appear at this auction.

Because Guu Qingzhao received a proxy request to auction a Tier Two Demon Pill.

Upon receiving this news, Qin Ming was quite exhilarated.

If there is a Demon Pill, it suggests the Essence Blood should also show up soon.

Another half month passed.

Wu Jiang's efficiency.

Far exceeded Qin Ming's expectations. He leveraged his connections and gathered enough materials for three batches of Sinful Spirit Pills in just half a month.

"Well done, Fellow Daoist Wu!" Qin Ming, extremely pleased, patted Wu Jiang on the shoulder.

After giving him Spirit Stones, he handed him a jade scroll.

"These are my early experiences in cultivating Beast Fang Rice. You can use it for learning."

Receiving the jade scroll, Wu Jiang was overjoyed.

After bidding farewell to Qin Ming, he immersed himself in studying it diligently.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, returned to his Cave Mansion and began pondering over the Sinful Spirit Pill Formula.

After reviewing it several times.

He took out the Profound Jade Furnace, preparing to begin Alchemy.

The Sinful Spirit Pill is not very difficult to refine among Tier Two Spiritual Pills.

To him, it was a task at hand.

Qin Ming summoned the ice-blue Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame to evenly heat the Profound Jade Furnace.

This was also his first time using a Tier Two Top-Grade Pill Furnace for Alchemy.

The Alchemy process was smoother.

The entire process completed seamlessly, without any delay.

A stick of incense later.

A peculiar pill fragrance filled the Cave Mansion.

As the aroma wafted out, the resting Profound Water Crocodile immediately became alert, shaking off drowsiness.

Following the scent's direction, it ran to the entrance of Qin Ming's Cave Mansion, drooling eagerly.

The Six-winged Frost Bee also flew out of its hive on the Longevity Vine, hovering anxiously outside.

Qin Ming noticed the commotion from his two Spirit Beasts.

"What's the rush? Wait patiently for me."

Once those words were spoken, the beast and insect outside became quiet and obediently awaited.

Qin Ming put away the two freshly refined Sinful Spirit Pills.

Then he cleaned the Profound Jade Furnace and continued to refine the next batch of pills.

As time passed.

Qin Ming eventually produced twelve Sinful Spirit Pills through multiple refinements.

This pill offers fatal allure to Demon Beasts.

Qin Ming also felt his two Spirit Beasts could hardly wait any longer.

Thus, he gathered his belongings from the ground and stepped out of the Cave Mansion.

He poured out two crimson pills from a porcelain bottle and flicked them accurately into the mouths of the two Spirit Beasts.

After swallowing the Sinful Spirit Pills, the Profound Water Crocodile and Six-winged Frost Bee happily found a place to absorb the Medicinal Power.

"I wonder if this Sinful Spirit Pill will help them break through to Tier Two."

The Six-winged Frost Bee flew back to its hive on the Longevity Vine.

While the Profound Water Crocodile, when Qin Ming followed it, had dug a hole under the main peak and crawled inside.

It then closed its eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

Qin Ming used Divine Thought to scan the Profound Water Crocodile, noticing its aura fluctuating, indicating the Sinful Spirit Pill's effects were taking hold.

However, judging by its state, it seemed it would take some time to completely absorb the pill's Medicinal Power.

It was at this moment.

Guu Qingzhao had Aunt Long bring a message to Qin Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood you've been searching for has finally shown some leads."

"A cultivator in Vast Sea Immortal City has commissioned the Pavilion Master to auction a small bottle of Early-stage Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood at the next auction."

"However, it's not Essence Blood from an Ape Demon Beast."

"But from the extraordinarily rare Tier Two Demon Beast, the Green Blooded Suanni."
