Chapter 653: Chapter 518: Primordial Extreme Order

"Oh? What is it?"

Qin Ming immediately showed a curious expression and asked.

The Cloud-Fishing Elder mysteriously took out a dark Profound Wood Token, handed it to Qin Ming, and explained:

"Hehe! This object is called the ’Primordial Extreme Order’. Holding this order not only allows easy breakthrough of the surrounding Primordial Extreme Divine Light, entering Primordial Extreme Mountain."

"Moreover, the most crucial aspect is that a cultivator holding the Primordial Extreme Order can remain unaffected by the power of the Extreme Mountain, and can use magic divine techniques as if outside..."

"The number of such tokens is scarce; in the current Cultivation Realm, it’s estimated that only a few can be gathered."

"This old man has four in hand. If Fellow Daoist Qin agrees to cooperate in the treasure hunt, I can share one Primordial Extreme Order with you."

Qin Ming played with the cold Primordial Extreme Order in his hand, not knowing what material it was made of. It was indeed an eye-opener.

However... there was a sense of familiarity.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Lu is truly an expert who conceals their skill, well-prepared for this journey to Primordial Extreme Mountain!" Qin Ming sighed.

"Naturally, besides these, my treasure map has the exact location of a Spirit Communication Treasure. To be honest with Fellow Daoist Qin, this old man went to great lengths to cultivate the Blood Spirit Spider, intending to obtain this valuable treasure."

The Cloud-Fishing Elder’s bombshell revelation almost stunned Qin Ming.

Even Qingyang the Old Demon from the Blood Massacre couldn’t help but ridicule: "For this old guy to cultivate to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, it’s not without reason. He really knows how to hide his capabilities, hahaha!"

But after pondering briefly, he suddenly said to Qin Ming: "Friend Qin should still act cautiously. This old man detects a faint trace of that Master Mu Qing on this person..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s heart tightened, and his excitement was greatly reduced, quietly asking:

"The one from the Cyan Origin Sect master of the demon cultivation lineage?"

"The Cloud-Fishing Elder is merely Mid-stage Nascent Soul; how is he related to someone like Master Mu Qing?"

"Cough! This old man doesn’t know either; I hope my feeling is wrong." Qingyang the Old Demon explained.

Cloud-Fishing Elder was so sincere in showing his plans, clearly holding little back toward Qin Ming to gain the needed items, his attitude was immensely earnest.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what this old man says is the truth. Certainly, going to Primordial Extreme Mountain to fetch treasures with only the two of us is not enough; there are two other fellow Daoists going together."

"After my assessment, those two fellow Daoists are trustworthy, so Fellow Daoist Qin can feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming instantly dismissed the notion, considering Qingyang the Old Demon’s recent reminder.

It’s highly likely that the person Cloud-Fishing Elder mentioned is disguised as Master Mu Qing.

Such matters as colluding with a tiger, naturally, he would never agree.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for being so frank. However, I am not interested in treasure hunting in the Secret Realm, thus our cooperation is unnecessary." Qin Ming slightly pondered and said, "If Fellow Daoist Lu’s words are accurate and you can bring back what I need, then exchanging the Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice and Dao Thunder Tribulation Tea isn’t out of the question."

"But for security purposes, Fellow Daoist Lu needs to deposit something with me, and if the items aren’t brought back, they naturally belong to me."

The Cloud-Fishing Elder was stunned on hearing this, not expecting Qin Ming to decline despite the clarity of his statement.

Even facing the temptation of the Spirit Communication Treasure, Qin Ming remained completely unmoved.

It can be said that among the cultivators he has encountered in hundreds of years, Qin Ming has the most indifferent state of mind...

However, upon hearing Qin Ming’s willingness to exchange for the needed items and offering an exchange plan, Cloud-Fishing Elder was elated.

After all, compared to the numerous treasures in Primordial Extreme Mountain, such a price is insignificant.

Immediately, Cloud-Fishing Elder took a jade box from his storage pouch, handed it to Qin Ming, and said: "These two Top-Grade Spirit Stones should be enough to guarantee for Fellow Daoist Qin, right?"

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones?" Qin Ming was also shocked; he didn’t expect the old guy to have such rare items. Apparently, he has indeed inherited the entire legacy of that ancient cultivator.

Such a formidable person, Qin Ming has only felt in Cold Crow Ascendant before.

He opened the jade box and saw two thumb-sized crystals inside with astonishing spirit charm.

Much smaller than what he uses.

Having personally used Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Qin Ming is naturally familiar with such top-tier Spirit Stones in the Cultivation Realm.

Confirmed to be unquestionably high-quality Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if this guy perishes in Primordial Extreme Mountain without returning, gaining two Top-Grades is quite worthwhile...

With this thought, Qin Ming immediately nodded and agreed:

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu is so sincere, then I will accept this matter."

Thus, he took out ten jins of Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice and half a jin of Dao Thunder Tribulation Tea from his storage pouch and handed them to the Cloud-Fishing Elder.

The Cloud-Fishing Elder was overjoyed. After receiving the items, he repeatedly thanked Qin Ming:

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin for making this possible! When this old man returns from retrieving the treasure, I will offer great thanks again!"

The Cloud-Fishing Elder did a quick calculation and promptly handed over the two Top-Grade Spirit Stones to Qin Ming.

"Hehe! We’re each seeking our own interests. If Fellow Daoist Lu can bring those two items back, I would truly be grateful beyond measure. I hope Fellow Daoist Lu has a smooth journey and achieves his desires."

Although Qin Ming was not particularly optimistic about the other party, he still exchanged some pleasantries.

After all, collaborating with an old monster like Master Mu Qing probably wouldn’t end well...

Of course, Qin Ming was merely speculating. If the Cloud-Fishing Elder could bring back those two items, it would indeed be best, as he could then refine the Tier Five Essence Blood of the Mountain Giant Ape, elevating his Body Refining Cultivation to an unimaginable level.

"Regarding what we’ve discussed today, Fellow Daoist Qin must help keep it confidential, and not mention it to others."

After the transaction, the Cloud-Fishing Elder reminded Qin Ming.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, I have that level of credibility," Qin Ming said with a slight smile.

Having settled a matter, the Cloud-Fishing Elder left the courtyard on the island, probably rushing for something important.

Qin Ming also returned to Wangyue Island.

Inside the Cyan Wood Pavilion.

Qin Ming sat calmly on a chair, the Heaven-Devouring Rat massaging his back, and the Little Silver Fox beating his legs, enjoying the service of the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden.

In his hand, he toyed with a "Primordial Extreme Order," a thoughtful expression on his face.

And this Primordial Extreme Order was what he found in the storage pouch of the Thousand Illusion Demon Monarch.

...

Months later.

Deep in the Beast Roar Mountain Range, inside the rustic courtyard of the Demon Venerable Bai Lin.

The Demon Venerable Bai Lin, exuding an air of elegance, took a casual gulp of Spirit Wine and asked the gray-robed middle-aged beside him:

"Mu Qing, why did you seek cooperation with that Cloud-Fishing Elder? Is it just because he has a Primordial Extreme Order?"

At this time, Mu Qing had already dissolved his body and reincarnated his cultivation to the realm of Nascent Soul Perfection at a remarkable speed.

Mu Qing laughed meaningfully, "Those who catch my eye are naturally not simple... they have their unique qualities. This trip might end up being a great help to us."

"However, I heard he sought the Wangyue Island Master twice for helping the Spirit Spider advance and even issued a treasure-seeking invitation, but was refused."

"Otherwise... I could have had some dealings with that kid."

"This True Monarch Wangyue of the Southern Wilderness... I underestimated him a bit, and when there’s a chance, I must meet him in person."

The Demon Venerable Bai Lin laughed freely, "You’re not the only one. I’m running low on Spirit Wine too, I need to find him to stock up."

"Sigh! After drinking the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid, all other spirit wines seem bland, it’s really spoiled my taste."

Mu Qing said, "Alright then, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely ask for some on your behalf. If it weren’t for the help of those Tier Five Spiritual Objects you gave me, I couldn’t have recovered to my current realm so quickly."

"Haha! Mu Qing, just don’t stab me in the back like back when you betrayed the Venerable Cyan Emperor, and I’ll count that as a blessing," the Demon Venerable Bai Lin replied mockingly.

At these words, Mu Qing didn’t show any emotional fluctuation, completely indifferent.

...

Half a year later.

Perhaps the news of Primordial Extreme Mountain’s emergence gradually spread among the Nascent Soul circle.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators kept coming to Wangyue Island to visit Qin Ming.

Some came to exchange for Spiritual Objects, others invited him to team up.

Even True Monarch Canghe, the Great Elder of the Star Palace, came to see Qin Ming once, and he was straightforward, expressing his intent directly, as he valued Qin Ming’s formidable strength, hoping to invite him to join in a treasure-hunting expedition.

Qin Ming politely declined, learning from this Great Cultivator that their group consisted entirely of extremely powerful beings, including Master Xuan Bing of the Ice God Hall and True Monarch Miaoling, the Supreme Elder of the Penglai Sect.

They were all aiming for a Divinity Transformation Opportunity.

On the other hand, it also indicated that these top-tier Great Cultivators of the Human Realm had already begun to regard him as a peer of the same level.
