Inside the stone chamber.

Qin Ming opened each of the bottles one by one for examination.

He discovered that the first few bottles contained various pills.

One of the bottles even held Hidden Essence Pills that could enhance mana during the late-stage Foundation Establishment, akin to the Jade Profound Pill Qin Ming had crafted.

Next, Qin Ming opened a porcelain bottle and found it contained some Spirit Seeds.

He immediately poured out the Spirit Seeds to carefully identify them, his face lighting up with delight.

Heaven-Devouring Rat observed him being so thrilled and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are these Spirit Seeds?"

"They're various rare Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Plant Spirit Seeds," replied Qin Ming.

He put away the Spirit Seeds and picked up another jade bottle to open.

However, despite trying his best, Qin Ming realized he couldn't open this jade bottle and grew puzzled.

If he used brute force to break it, he feared damaging its contents.

"Master, why don't I give it a try!" suggested Heaven-Devouring Rat upon seeing the chance to make a contribution.

Qin Ming immediately handed the jade bottle over to Heaven-Devouring Rat.

Heaven-Devouring Rat took the peculiar jade bottle and spewed a dark, mysterious light from its mouth to unlock it, taking a whole incense stick's time.

The restriction upon it was finally lifted.

"What's inside this? Sealed by a Tier Three High-Grade Restriction," Heaven-Devouring Rat exclaimed in amazement.

"A Tier Three High-Grade Restriction?" Qin Ming was even more astonished upon hearing this.

He then took the jade bottle from Heaven-Devouring Rat, gently unscrewed the lid, and instantly a strong stench of blood and Evil Qi assaulted his nose.

Both Qin Ming and Heaven-Devouring Rat were on high alert, peering into the bottle.

Inside, it held half a bottle of golden liquid, emitting a pressure unlike any ordinary demon beast.

"It's High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood!" Qin Ming exclaimed with joy.

"No, wait! This aura..."

Heaven-Devouring Rat only needed to sense it briefly and stammered, "Not just that, it's the royal lineage from the demon race..."

"Oh? Do you recognize this Essence Blood?" asked Qin Ming immediately.

Heaven-Devouring Rat nodded, "I can sense the Beast Soul within the Essence Blood, from one of the Demon Beast Royal Race, the Mountain Giant Ape."

Qin Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, looking a bit incredulous.

"Mountain Giant Ape..."

This reminded him of the thousand-foot giant ape he had encountered while practicing the Hundred Beasts Visualization Image... also from the Mountain Giant Ape lineage.

"Tier Two Perfection Level Mountain Giant Ape, such a terrifying existence, even the Double-Pupil Demon Ape pales in comparison."

"Such Essence Blood from an unrivaled fierce beast, how did it end up in Zhao Family's ancestor's possession?" Qin Ming wondered.

Heaven-Devouring Rat observed the jade bottle for a while before speaking, "I reckon this bottle is several thousand years old, likely not obtained by Zhao Wuyang."

"Perhaps it was a leftover from this stone chamber... that makes sense." Qin Ming nodded, feeling excited within.

No one expected such a gain here.

With this Tier Two Perfection Level Mountain Giant Ape Essence Blood, he could fully master the Third Transformation of True Gang!

'Seems when I chose the Mountain Giant Ape from the Hundred Beasts Visualization Image, the last step of the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Celestial Demon Refining Form Strategy led me to acquire the Mountain Giant Ape Essence Blood, like it was meant to be...'

Qin Ming suppressed his excitement and carefully stored the Essence Blood.

He then inspected the other jade bottles, finding several bottles of Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood, but all were below Tier Two Mid-Stage, less valuable than the previous bottle.

"The greatest gain from this trip was here," he said.

After thorough inspection ensuring nothing was missed, Qin Ming cast a spell and set ablaze several corrupted Demon Seeds, along with Zhao Wuyang's corpse.

Having done that,

Qin Ming exited the stone chamber and retrieved the Celestial Corpse Pearl from a groove.

Bang! Crash!

The stone gate descended once more, sealing the stone chamber shut.

Qin Ming went back to the original spot and handed the Celestial Corpse Pearl back to Mo Lingwei, as he had no use for demonic items.

Then he swiftly left the Demon Cave with Heaven-Devouring Rat.

Half an hour later.

Mo Lingwei gradually woke up in the Demon Cave, the first thing she did upon awakening was to quickly check herself all over, finding herself intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she woke Elder Mo nearby.

"Cough! Clan Leader, seems Elder Long didn't intend to trouble us," remarked Elder Mo.

"Why did he do that?" she pondered.

"Hmm, Elder Long must have his reasons, adding to before, I owe him another favor," she replied.

"If not for Elder Long, we might not have escaped this calamity,"

"I didn't expect Yuann Feng would possess his master's Soul Summoning Banner."

"Elder Mo, how are you feeling, is it serious?"

"It's alright, just an old sack of bones, still alive,"

"Patriarch, what's next?"

"We head back to Valley of Ten Thousand Souls."

...

Spirit Nest Islands.

Qin Ming stored Heaven-Devouring Rat in the Spirit Beast Bag, restored his appearance, and flew through the air, heading back to Wangyue Island.

Just halfway there, he encountered several large Dharma Ships from the Loose Alliance, leading a group of Law Enforcement Team, sailing towards him.

"Oh?! It's Fellow Daoist Qin!"

A thick, robust voice echoed, followed by a white light flying from one of the Loose Alliance's Dharma Ships, landing before Qin Ming.

"Haha! Alliance Leader Lim, long time no see." Qin Ming greeted with a cupped fist salute.

The visitor was Alliance Leader Lim Yuanqing of the Loose Alliance, now with hair of partial gray.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, long time no see."

Lim Yuanqing gazed at Qin Ming, who hadn't aged since he first arrived at Spirit Nest Islands, like an evergreen tree, exuding tranquil vibes.

He compared himself, feeling a surge of emotions.

Qin Ming initiated the conversation, "I wonder what's the occasion for such a grand display?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please, come to the ship for a chat."

Lim Yuanqing invited Qin Ming onto the Dharma Ship, poured him some Spirit Tea, and then spoke, "Ah, Fellow Daoist Qin, don't mention it, troubles constantly arising!"

"Our alliance received reports from Immortal City's Master Vast Sea, the demonic cultivators from the Six Demonic Sects have begun stirring recently."

"For unknown reasons, they're active near Spirit Nest Islands."

"I'm planning to send more people to several key points, stationing patrol forces to prevent demonic cultivators from infiltrating and causing chaos within Spirit Nest Islands."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, stay alert on your travels."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming felt speechless.

The demonic cultivators already infiltrated, but he had already taken them out...

"I see, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lim, for the warning."

Lim Yuanqing smiled slightly and continued, "It's not often I get to meet Fellow Daoist Qin, I'd like to purchase some pills from you."

"As the situation might change later, consumption could increase significantly, I need to stock up early."

"Not a problem, I happen to have a few left."

With this opportunity,

Qin Ming sold all the pills he collected from the ten Tribulation Cultivators at Inch Mountain Market to Lim Yuanqing, making a modest fortune.
