Chapter 971: Chapter 701: Spirit Plant Transformation, Li Family in Distress

Li Changqing glanced at Qin Ming, whose Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Spirit Pets circled around his knees, envying him immensely.

"Alas! Fellow Daoist Lii is truly carefree! With such a Spirit Vein environment, accompanied by Spirit Pets and Spirit Plants, it is not so lonely. Unlike I, who have been overwhelmed by the recent events..."

"Oh? What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Li? Has something happened?" Qin Ming asked, surprised.

Li Changqing took a sip of Spirit Tea before speaking of the serious matter: "Indeed! I imagine Fellow Daoist Lii has also noticed the changes in Celestial Star City... The Wang Family, somehow learned that it was my Li Family who reported their private tribute to the Great Demon and blood sacrifices of the Nascent Soul Clan..."

Then, Li Changqing narrated the causes and effects of the situation and recent developments to Qin Ming.

Essentially, the Wang Family, by relying on their connection with the Divine Monarch Jin Ao’s Star Guard Army, sought revenge on the Li Family, causing numerous casualties among the Li Clan in just two short months.

Moreover, their goods were plundered entirely, resulting in heavy losses.

Although the Wang Family is a force that migrated from outside, their overall strength is much stronger than the Li Family.

Not to mention the level of the Great Demon they worship, the simple fact is that the Wang Family has three Divinity Transformation Cultivators, with the Wang Family Ancestor having broken through to Divinity Transformation Perfection. The Li Family is obviously no match for them.

After listening, Qin Ming also showed a strange expression.

After all, it was he who gave Li Changqing the information and suggested them to report the Wang Family to trustworthy contacts in Celestial Star City.

Yet, he hadn’t expected things to escalate like this...

Li Changqing had come to Qin Ming for help in the Li Family’s time of danger, hoping the two neighbors could lend a hand.

"Alas! The murky waters of Celestial Star City are getting deeper, and Fellow Daoist Lii’s choice to stay out of it is wise," Li Changqing said.

"I do not wish to drag Fellow Daoist Lii into this. I only hope that if I... am no longer here, you will take into account our acquaintance and look after the Li Clan a little..."

"I have only come this time to remind you to be careful of the Wang Family; they might attack Little Turtle Peak unexpectedly..."

At this point, Li Changqing’s eyes were full of weariness, seemingly ready to fight to the death with the Wang Family.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat busily poured tea while occasionally glancing at Li Changqing, unwittingly speaking up: "Elder Li, if you can’t beat them, why not run with your clan? Why insist on fighting? It’s not worth it."

"You’re almost talking like leaving final words... How unlucky."

"As the saying goes, if the green woods remain, there’s no fear of no mountain..."

Qin Ming glared at the Heaven-Devouring Rat, patting its head, "Who taught you these phrases? Leave the storybooks for now... Go! Get some Spirit Fruits for Fellow Daoist Li."

"Heh heh! I admit my wrong, alright?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, reprimanded by Qin Ming, awkwardly scratched its head and scampered away.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don’t mind, this rascal is used to being wild," Qin Ming immediately had the Little Silver Fox pour Spirit Tea for Li Changqing and continued, "I believe the Li Family will safely weather this ordeal, no need to be overly anxious."

"Li Mou here also thanks Fellow Daoist Li for your kind reminder."

Afterwards, the two conversed for half a day. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Li Changqing then bade farewell to Qin Ming and left.

Qin Ming watched him leave, his face reflecting thoughtful contemplation.

"This Wang Family indeed seems unruly! It may be necessary to give them a lesson."

Immediately.

He summoned his top Shaking Head General, the Heaven-Devouring Rat, and instructed:

"You and Lan Bing Fairy follow behind the Li Clan members, and if any Wang Family members make a move... You understand my meaning?"

"I understand! I understand! Don’t worry, Master! Heh heh!" The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes lit up, immediately grasping Qin Ming’s intent, showing a sneaky grin.

It immediately went to another cave mansion on the main peak, called Lan Bing Fairy, then rode the Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow, disappearing into the void.

Now, with the combined strength of the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Lan Bing Fairy, enhanced by the True Spirit Bloodline, they would be more than enough even against late-stage Divinity Transformation.

And the Wang Family Ancestor naturally wouldn’t make a move personally, letting them secretly thwart the Wang Family is enough.

After arranging these matters.

Qin Ming returned to his cave mansion to continue cultivating the "Profound Nether True Water Scripture."

As time passed.

Drip! Drip!

A drop of Profound Nether Heavy Water slowly formed within Qin Ming’s body.

After another period of arduous cultivation.

There were already eight drops of heavy water, and he was only one step away from cultivating the last part of the Five Elements Technique, the Water Element Technique, to Great Success.
