Guu Qingzhao raised her wine cup and smiled gently.

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin has asked, there won't be any problem. I'll have someone collect as much as possible."

"Thank you very much! I will purchase everything you can find, as much as there is." Qin Ming raised his cup to toast Guu Qingzhao, tilting his head back to drink.

As for Qin Ming's Foundation Establishment Pill Formula.

It was sent back by Su Yuqing through Mirror Snow Pavilion not long ago, with a letter that began by thanking Qin Ming for giving him those five Top-Grade Divine Essence Fruits.

He generously praised him in return.

Then, he briefly mentioned his recent situation in the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

He informed Qin Ming that he had successfully established his foundation and broken through to become a Tier Two Alchemist Master.

At the end of the letter, he included insights on refining Foundation Establishment Pills, as well as a mainstream pill formula.

In addition, there were two formulas to refine pills that increase Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

"Could it be... Fellow Daoist Qin wants to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills himself?" Shopkeeper Liao said with a shocked expression.

Qin Ming could only smile wryly, "There's no other way. As a poor Loose Cultivator like myself, it's simply impossible to get Foundation Establishment Pills through other means."

"I'll have no choice but to try refining them myself."

"Though I'm not very confident."

Guu Qingzhao was also deeply impressed by his bold idea.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you must think carefully, the materials and Spirit Stones needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills are vastly expensive."

"However, I believe with Fellow Daoist Qin's talent in the Alchemy Dao, it might not be impossible."

Ever since Guu Qingzhao met Qin Ming, he had repeatedly overturned her understanding.

So she also felt that Qin Ming might truly succeed.

If Qin Ming manages to break through to Tier Two Alchemist and is capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

The benefits for Mirror Snow Pavilion would be self-evident.

Guu Qingzhao took a small sip of Spirit Wine, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she said, "By the way, I heard from Aunt Long that you purchased Spirit-Gathering Tea and Purple Gold Bamboo seedlings from her?"

Qin Ming was taken aback.

It turned out that the shopkeeper woman at Mirror Snow Pavilion in Celestial River Market was called Aunt Long.

"That's correct, I plan to cultivate these two Spirit Plants." Qin Ming nodded.

"Then, when the Spirit Plants mature, could you sell me a portion?"

"Of course, no problem."

Guu Qingzhao's expression was one of joy, then she recalled something, saying regretfully, "I've also heard about Fellow Daoist Qin's attempt to purchase Spirit Nesting Rice, but this rice is indeed hard to find nowadays."

"No worries, I have already learned of some clues from Fellow Daoist Wu." Qin Ming said nonchalantly.

"Oh? That's excellent!" Guu Qingzhao was also a bit surprised, smiling slightly.

Qin Ming's plan was to.

Besides asking Guu Qingzhao to help gather materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Qin Ming also intended to search on his own, as the saying goes, walking on two legs always goes faster.

Because he needed to prepare multiple sets of materials all at once.

After all, there was no guarantee he would succeed on the first try.

Qin Ming's cooperation with Mirror Snow Pavilion was indeed very close and reliable.

So, asking Guu Qingzhao to gather materials, he was quite assured.

"By the way, I have some important news to share with Fellow Daoist Qin," Guu Qingzhao suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming became attentive, knowing that the other party was about to inform him of the latest happenings among the upper echelons of the Cultivation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Guu, please go ahead."

"The current situation is that the next phase of the competition between the Spirit Feather Sect and Thunder Origin Sect has begun, and currently three major families and several minor influences among the Seven Great Powers have completely pledged allegiance to the Spirit Feather Sect."

"What? Weren't the Seven Great Powers the lackeys of Thunder Origin Sect? How could they switch sides so unexpectedly?" Qin Ming was stunned upon hearing the news.

Guu Qingzhao's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "This is related to the new Golden Core Yuwen Hong from Spirit Feather Sect."

"Having a Celestial Spirit Root's Core Formation is naturally extraordinary, if I'm not mistaken, Yuwen Hong's Golden Core quality and power far exceed cultivators of the same tier."

"I've even heard that Yuwen Hong fought to a draw with the long-existing Golden Core Ancestor of Thunder Origin Sect."

"In the Cultivation Realm of Wei Country, between two overlord-level influences, only one can dominate, and sooner or later they will determine who stands supreme."

"Moreover, another thing, the Zhao Family among the Seven Great Powers has also chosen to support Spirit Feather Sect."

Qin Ming was truly amazed by all he heard.

The situation had once more taken an unexpected turn.

The clash between sects at the Golden Core level, for someone like him to be swept into, would quickly result in being reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, he had escaped just in time!

Guu Qingzhao continued to say:

"Additionally, there's another piece of news, after the ancient ruins of Yunhuang Marsh were opened, the inheritance within was seized by the demonic cultivator Lin Zixiao."

"And in a brief period, he broke through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm."

"Not only has his cultivation significantly advanced, but his demonic techniques are unimaginably fierce and unparalleled among Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Currently, he is showing signs of becoming a demonic hero."

"However... I've heard that before Lin Zixiao's breakthrough, he seemed to be hunting two Foundation Establishment Elders from Spirit Feather Sect and Divine Herbal Sect."

"Those two Foundation Establishment Elders also perished without a trace in that confrontation."

"Later, Lin Zixiao was severely injured and remained hidden for quite some time. When he reappeared, he was already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment level."

Qin Ming listened without showing any sign of disturbance.

He listened attentively as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yet, hearing Lin Zixiao had broken through to late-stage Foundation Establishment was indeed surprising.

It seems that the last black barrier opened in the relic's herb garden by Lin Zixiao.

Must be some extraordinarily powerful demonic inheritance.

After Qin Ming and Guu Qingzhao discussed their future cooperation for half a day.

Guu Qingzhao and Shopkeeper Liao took their leave.

...

Afterward.

Qin Ming summoned Wu Jiang and likewise instructed him to search for some auxiliary materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Because refining Foundation Establishment Pills requires more than thirty auxiliary ingredients. Besides a few rare ones, some of the auxiliary materials are interchangeable with other Tier Two pills.

They might appear on the market, so Qin Ming instructed him to send a message if he found any.

Wu Jiang took the list Qin Ming gave him, scratching his head, not understanding what Qin Ming intended to do with all these herbs.

After figuring it out, he quickly went off to do his task.

Then.

Qin Ming took out the Spirit-Gathering Tea and Purple Gold Bamboo seedlings.

According to the key points noted in the Spirit Plant Book.

He planted them one by one under the main peak, where the spiritual environment of a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spiritual Vein existed.

Breeding Spirit Plants here was twice as effective with half the effort.

The seedlings purchased this time, only numbered dozens for each Spirit Plant. Tier Two Spirit Seeds are not only rare but also expensive.

These were painstakingly transferred from superior shops by Aunt Long of Mirror Snow Pavilion.

But they were sufficient.

Once the [Ripening] entry is refreshed, Qin Ming could again cultivate these dozens into a large expanse.

Finally.

He released the Lifebound Spirit Plant, Black Vine, from his arm, and planted it in an empty place.

The Withered Blood Poison Vine seemed to sense the change in environment.

With an abundant supply of Spiritual Qi, the vines danced in joyous response.

They soon took root in the Spiritual Soil, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein.

Strands of Essence of Plants continuously and endlessly entered Qin Ming's body.

Qin Ming felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

His heart moved, wondering if by feeding it the "Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Woods" he obtained from the Plant Illusion Realm…

What kind of effect might it produce?

Without hesitation.

Qin Ming cast a spell, extracting a trace of Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Woods, and directed it toward the Black Vine.
