Chapter 642: Chapter 512: Trade and News (Part 2)

With a flick of his fingers, the three lids all opened, revealing the treasures within, which were indeed all Tier Four Middle-Grade or higher spiritual objects.

"Hehe! What Fellow Daoist Qin seeks, I do not have on hand, but I can use these three items before us to trade for some Spirit Rice."

"Additionally, I can promise Fellow Daoist Qin that if I ever obtain what Fellow Daoist Qin needs, or get specific information, I will share it with him."

Qin Ming’s gaze fell on the three jade boxes, but he was attracted by one of the items within.

It was a piece of reddish-gold stone exuding an astonishing Supreme Yang Qi, about the size of a fist.

"Sun Divine Stone? And such a large piece." Qin Ming was slightly surprised.

He did not expect the Cloud-Fishing Elder to possess such a rare spiritual object.

This item could indeed be integrated into the Wood Emperor Nail Spiritual Treasure, further enhancing the power and grade of his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.

The Cloud-Fishing Elder also knew that common items could not possibly make Qin Ming part with Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice in exchange.

Therefore, he was prepared to bleed heavily, offering his treasure from the bottom of the chest at once.

As expected, just as he anticipated. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The next moment, Qin Ming nodded and agreed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu’s treasures are indeed somewhat useful to me. How about this? I trade ten pounds of Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice for these three treasures. How does Fellow Daoist Lu feel about it?"

"Nothing could be better! Deal!" Hearing this, the Cloud-Fishing Elder was overjoyed beyond expectation, not anticipating the matter to proceed so smoothly.

Then.

Qin Ming handed over Spirit Rice to the opposite party, beckoning to gather the three spiritual objects.

The Cloud-Fishing Elder checked the Spirit Rice in the storage pouch, and after confirming no error, he repeatedly thanked Qin Ming.

"If Fellow Daoist Qin is free, you can visit my place at Luoyun Creek, where I’ll extend my hospitality."

The transaction concluded.

The Cloud-Fishing Elder seemed eager to advance his Blood Spider and, after a few casual words, hastily said goodbye to Qin Ming and left.

After he left.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat scratched its head and asked, "Master, could this old fellow have discovered some treasure? Sneaking around..."

"Even if he did, it doesn’t concern us. We cultivators each have our fates," Qin Ming said flatly.

"Oh, oh," the Heaven-Devouring Rat nodded.

...

Afterward.

Qin Ming took the Sun Divine Stone into the Artifact Refining Room, preparing to enhance the Wood Emperor Nail.

He opened his mouth and sprayed, releasing a tri-colored Ancient Poison Flame to begin the smelting of the Divine Stone.

Under the smelting of a Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Flame, the Sun Divine Stone quickly melted, transforming into a mass of golden liquid emitting an astonishing high temperature.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose sharply.

Qin Ming lifted his hand again, and eighty-one Wood Emperor Nails flew out from the Immortal Vine that was his Lifebound Spirit Plant.

Then, with the continuous variations of his Artifact Refining Technique, the mass of golden liquid was evenly divided into eighty-one drops.

In mid-air, numerous complex runes lit up, and Qin Ming began a long ritual process.

Months later.

The Cave Mansion shone with glorious light, and the set of Wood Emperor Nail Spiritual Treasure seemed cloaked in a faint golden spiritual light, with its Supreme Yang attribute elevated to a new height.

"After years of cultivation and integration of so many Sun Divine Stones."

"This set of Wood Emperor Nail has been refined to the level of a Tier Four Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure, greatly increasing its power."

After completing the treasure refinement, Qin Ming tested it slightly, and the upgraded Wood Emperor Nail had improved several times in both concealment and power compared to before.

It would be difficult for cultivators below Mid-stage Nascent Soul to guard against the surprise attack of this treasure.

Besides, Qin Ming was now at Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, with mana as strong as a Great Cultivator of the Later Stage.

He could fully master this set of spiritual treasures and wield their power to the fullest.

After familiarizing himself, Qin Ming put away the Wood Emperor Nail Spiritual Treasure, continued nurturing it within his Lifebound Spirit Plant, and then stepped out of the Cave Mansion.

He had recently heard from Hua Tianxiong that the Star Moon Market of the Spirit Nest Islands was about to hold a grand centennial celebration, featuring not only a bustling lantern festival but also a large-scale Four Nations Trade Fair.

It’s remarkably rare under the current turbulent circumstances.

Only the Southern Wilderness could achieve this.

Wei Wuya and Mo Lingwei and others meant to say that they hoped he, the actual person in charge of the Spirit Nest Islands, would go to cut the ribbon, make an appearance, and bring prestige to the celebration.

"How time flies, a hundred years of vicissitudes... Unknowingly, so much time has passed..." Qin Ming sighed.

Since it’s a great celebration day, Qin Ming decided it was just the right time to go out, see the changes outside, and enjoy a breath of fresh air.

When he came out, the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Little Silver Fox were already waiting outside, dressed joyfully, each with small braids, transformed into the appearance of a Golden Boy and Jade Maiden.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, estimating that they, too, had been tilling the land and cultivating spirit plants on the island for years, and it was hard for them to resist the temptation of going out for a change.

These demon beasts also loved the lively scenes of the Human Race.

Then.

Qin Ming released the Lingxiao Imperial Carriage, carrying them toward Star Moon Market.

Before long.

On the Spirit Nest Islands, a large market connecting dozens of islands came into view.

It was evening, and the market was brightly lit, bustling with crowds, a lively scene with specks of bright light flickering.

The appearance of Qin Ming’s Lingxiao Imperial Carriage caught everyone’s attention below, and all gazes turned skyward in respect!

"Such an imposing carriage, it must be True Monarch Wangyue visiting in person!"

"On this grand occasion, getting to glimpse the style of the True Monarch means this trip was worthwhile."
