Chapter 977: Chapter 703: Family Seeking Refuge, Old Friends Visiting

Qin Ming caressed the Spirit Pearl, pondering that his Little Turtle Peak Spiritual Land, extending nearly ten thousand miles, was indeed vast, and he couldn’t manage it all.

Since the other party volunteered allegiance, their origins were clear, and they even presented such a precious treasure... it was worth negotiating.

He immediately put away the item in his hand, nodded in agreement, and said: "In that case, your Xu Family can choose any of the Spirit Mountains a thousand miles away from Little Turtle Peak to settle."

"But let me be clear, this Spirit Land is also rented from Celestial Star City, with rent due every hundred years."

"These Spirit Stones and treasures will count as a hundred years’ rent for you, but when the time is up, you need to pay additional Spirit Stones, understood?"

Xu Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked endlessly: "Thank you, Elder Lii, for taking us in. If there is any task, feel free to command us; our Xu Family will face fire and water without hesitation!"

"Hmm, for you to find this place is also a fate. By the way, what kind of item is this Tier Six Spirit Pearl? How does a mere Nascent Soul Clan possess such a treasure?" Qin Ming didn’t forget to ask.

Xu Xuan quickly replied: "Haha! This Spirit Pearl was also passed down from our ancestors. As a junior with limited knowledge, I didn’t know its use, nor dared to trade it easily, fearing it would bring disaster to the clan. I’d rather present it as an offering to Elder Lii."

Actually, Xu Xuan told the truth, and it was because of Qin Ming’s good reputation in the area that he dared to offer the treasure.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to bring out such a Tier Six Spiritual Object, even if he were beaten to death.

Holding a Spirit Pearl as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was like a child carrying gold through a marketplace...

"You’re quite smart." Qin Ming said casually, his powerful Divine Thought observing every move of the counterpart, capturing even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Lying in front of him was nearly impossible.

"Alright, I’ll have my people take you there." Qin Ming waved his hand, and then let Baili Hui lead Xu Family’s people down.

After everyone left, Heaven-Devouring Rat asked with a puzzled expression: "Master, are you really planning to keep them here?"

"This seems a bit out of your style."

"Hmm... the Spirit Mountains over there are near the south side of the Alien Race Wilderness. It’s just right for Xu Family to cultivate land there; besides collecting rent, they can also provide some defense, achieving two goals with one move." Qin Ming said indifferently.

"In addition, Mo Lingwei and Baili Hui can have subordinates to use, so they don’t have to personally handle every issue."

With the growth in realm and strength, Qin Ming was considering matters more comprehensively.

"Hehe! Master, you’re truly wise and mighty!" Heaven-Devouring Rat put on a smiling face and cupped its hands in salute.

Qin Ming said to it: "By the way, while you were away, Xiaoqing created quite a fuss inside. Go take good care of it."

Upon hearing this, Heaven-Devouring Rat’s expression instantly fell; just a moment ago, it was filled with pride, but now thinking of that True Spirit Kunpeng as big as a calf, it couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.

"Yes, Master." It could only agree helplessly.

Qin Ming coughed lightly and instructed: "Ahem! Whatever Xiaoqing wants to eat during this period, you should try to satisfy it and fatten it up nicely, and feed it more Spiritual Objects to supplement its Qi Blood."

Heaven-Devouring Rat asked with curiosity: "Has this guy angered Master again? If I go back and reprimand it, can Master let it off the hook?"

Upon hearing Qin Ming’s tone.

Heaven-Devouring Rat imagined that Qin Ming was planning to feast on the True Spirit Kunpeng... after all, he rarely spoke such words.

There was an inexplicable feeling that it was a last meal sensation...

"Go quickly! What are you thinking? I have other plans and won’t do anything to it." Qin Ming patted its head and said.

"By the way, Master, where are Little Silver Fox and that Profound Water Crocodile guy? Why aren’t they anywhere to be seen?" Heaven-Devouring Rat glanced around, scratched its head, and asked again.

Qin Ming immediately recounted the matter of providing Little Silver Fox and the others with Tier Six Blood Soul Nirvana Pills, allowing the three beasts to breakthrough.

"Ah! I didn’t expect it! Little Silver Fox is catching up to my pace so quickly... but this is good..." Heaven-Devouring Rat savored Qin Ming’s words, feeling quite moved.

Subsequently, it returned to the Little Spirit Realm to feed the True Spirit Kunpeng.

Qin Ming spent decades tirelessly, having completed refining Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, only lacking the True Spirit Essence Blood, naturally intending to raise the Kunpeng robustly.

After all, it was just born; if its Essence Blood was taken and its Primordial Qi severely damaged, leaving any lasting effects would not be good.

In the days that followed.

Qin Ming practiced the "True Primordial Yin Yang Technique" while researching the Pill Formula of Yin Yang Void Returning Pill.

This pill formula, elaborated upon by Su Yuqing’s notes, was already very detailed, and he had memorized the entire alchemy process thoroughly, ensuring that the furnace wouldn’t explode easily.

After some time.

Xu Family also managed to root down in the Spirit Land affiliated with Little Turtle Peak; Xu Xuan led clan members to start cultivating the barren land and planting Spirit Plants.

According to Baili Hui’s introduction upon returning, Xu Family was also a Spirit Plant Clan, being affiliated under Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers for hundreds of years, having paid protection fees many times.

But when chaos broke out in Celestial Star City, Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers was the first to sell Xu Family out, truly unfortunate.

Moreover, it was the Wang Family and those other clans that acted against Xu Family.

Xu Xuan certainly proved to be quite decisive.

Upon discovering Little Turtle Peak’s formidable strength, not only was there a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Peak Master in charge, but also several extremely powerful Tier Five Great Demons and Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

He even heard some rumors; not long ago, the Beast Taming Clan Wang Family once allied with other Divinity Transformation Cultivators to ambush Li Family cultivators, only to be completely annihilated by two Spirit Pets casually sent by ’Elder Lii’...
