Chapter 247 - 245: The Efficacy of a Tier-9 Spirit Medicine

Chapter 247: Chapter 245: The Efficacy of a Tier-9 Spirit Medicine

「The next day.」

After Su Qing cultivated the Spirit Medicines, he placed them into his Storage Ring.

He found Tang Dan.

"Here are the Spirit Medicines for this time. We won’t be doing this kind of business for a while."

"Tang Dan, I have a task for you."

Tang Dan was a little stunned to hear Su Qing say they would stop this business, but the mention of a new task quickly brought him back to reality.

"Please tell me, Young Master," Tang Dan said.

"Go arrange for an auction venue."

"I’ll be holding an auction. But there’s one more thing: use this Tier Five Spirit Fruit, the Green Fragrant Red Lotus Fruit, to trade for a Pocket World."

"See if any Cultivators are willing to make the trade."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Good. Once you’ve handled that, just focus on your Cultivation," Su Qing said.

He glanced at Zhang Anping, who was standing nearby. "Train Zhang Anping as quickly as possible, so you can delegate things to him later."

"How many people have you hired for the inn?"

"Reporting to Young Master, six people. They are all in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and all are honest and dependable."

"Recruit a few people for the auction house as well."

"Yes," Tang Dan said.

Seeing Su Qing pondering, Tang Dan quickly took out three invitation cards from a drawer.

The Holy Spirit Race, the Mountain Peak Race, and the Profound Dragon Race.

All were families from the Abyss Sea.

Su Qing had been thinking about how to get someone to rent out the Marketplace.

He opened them to take a look.

They were all inquiries about Immortal Stones.

The Holy Spirit Race never had any Immortal Stones to begin with, so Su Qing had no way to sanction them even if he wanted to.

The other two were both Demon Races.

’Ignore the Holy Spirit Race. As for these two Demon Races...’

Su Qing thought for a moment, then nodded.

"For these two Demon Races, send out a message. Tell them to come to the island in half a month to discuss matters. While we’re at it, we’ll deal with the Zhiyang Race and the Cangqing Race."

"Yes, Young Master. Should we just spread the news publicly?"

"Mhm, post a public notice. If they don’t see it, that’s their problem."

The Immortal Stones were currently in Su Qing’s hands, not theirs.

Su Qing held absolute control over the situation.

"That’s all. Handle the auction venue. I’ll need it soon," Su Qing said.

Su Qing left the shop.

He returned to his residence.

His attention shifted to the six sprouted Spirit Medicines inside his Acupoint World.

These six were all Tier Nine Spirit Medicines.

Su Qing wanted to challenge himself. He would continuously use his Immortal Technique, Withered Wood Revives in Spring, to see just how long it would take for all the Tier Nine Spirit Medicines to mature.

...

...

「Five days later.」

Su Qing felt slightly exhausted.

For five days straight, he had used Withered Wood Revives in Spring without stopping.

The Spirit Medicines had finally matured and scattered their seeds.

[Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf: To be reborn after nine deaths! After consumption, it leaves behind a Nine Deaths Dao Seed. Whether it is the physical body or the soul, it can be instantly restored from the brink of death nine times...]

[Cyan Celestial Net: A single cyan vine that reaches for the heavens! After consumption, the body is reformed by the Cyan Celestial Net, granting the Wood Dao Essence Body. Allows communication with all vegetation, with no bottlenecks below the Fifth Realm...]

[Profound Dragon Spirit Ginseng: Celestial Blood Heart-Opening Profound Dragon Ginseng. After consumption, it balances all the Yin Yang Five Elements in the body and restores physical aptitude. It also grants the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, allowing one to focus on seven things at once...]

"Holy crap!"

As Su Qing read the descriptions carefully, he was left utterly speechless.

Su Qing dared to say that if anyone in this world managed to consume even one of these Tier Nine Spirit Medicines, their life would change dramatically in an instant.

Without another word, Su Qing simply plucked one of the Spirit Medicines, took it out, and ate it in one bite.

His first choice was the Cyan Celestial Net.

It looked like a small, cyan vine. Its color was so pure it seemed to possess a real, flawless luminescence.

It was suffused with a dense Wood Dao Essence, and Spiritual Qi overflowed from it. Even after picking it, just taking a single whiff made Su Qing feel his comprehension of the Wood Dao Essence deepen.

Moreover, its fragrance was incredibly fresh and alluring.

"CRUNCH."

Su Qing took a bite and greedily swallowed it down.

After he finished eating it all, Wood Dao Essence began to pour frantically from his body.

Not only that, but the phantom God Demon inside the Immortal Palace of his liver began to tremble, madly absorbing the Medicinal Power.

Su Qing’s entire being became immersed in comprehending the Wood Dao Essence.

The range of his Spiritual Sense, which could already communicate with vegetation, expanded in a flash.

His understanding of the Growth of wood also became much clearer.

...

It took Su Qing nearly ten days to fully digest that single Tier Nine Spirit Medicine.

When Su Qing woke up again, he checked the progress on his status panel.

’About ten days must have passed,’ he estimated.

[Wood Dao Essence Body: Born with a connection to the Great Dao and natural aptitude for Cultivation. Wood Dao Essence Comprehension +100%, Lifespan +100%, no bottlenecks below the Fifth Realm.]

’The Dao Essence Body seems a bit lame.’

Su Qing silently compared it to the others on his status panel.

’Among my constitutions, the Wood Dao Essence Body seems to be the worst.’

Only the lifespan bonus was somewhat tempting.

But Su Qing had his Devouring Divine Techniques, as well as the Immortal Transformation Synthesis Talent.

He didn’t lack lifespan at all.

Now, Su Qing had five constitutions.

He was just four short.

The Chaotic Life Body, the Five Qi God Demon Body, the Five Elements Tribulation Body, the Five Elements Reincarnation Body, and the Wood Dao Essence Body.

For the remaining four, Su Qing still wanted to gather the other four Five Elements Attributes.

Then, he would perform an Immortal Transformation Synthesis.

Su Qing couldn’t even dare to imagine how wonderful that would be.

Su Qing looked at the Profound Dragon Spirit Ginseng in his hand, feeling a little tempted to eat it.

But not now.

He had an appointment.

It was just to discuss the Immortal Stone trade with the races from the Abyss Sea.

To strengthen his island, he had to do this. Besides, Su Qing would definitely not be at a loss.

...

As soon as Su Qing stepped outside, he saw Xingya, Ouyang Mingming, You Yanhan, and Liu Linlin.

They were enjoying a large meal.

Night had fallen.

Su Qing looked up and saw them eating in a corner of his courtyard.

They also noticed the sound of the door opening.

"Su Qing, come eat with us!" Ouyang Mingming said with a smile.

"Junior Brother, are you coming?" Liu Linlin asked, also enjoying her meal.

"Young Master." Luo Xingya, on the other hand, was a little flustered. She stood up and placed her chopsticks on the table.

"I can’t, I have something to do. You all go ahead," Su Qing said, shaking his head with a smile.

’It seems they’ve picked up my mortal habits.’

’It’s actually quite nice to gather for a meal.’

But right now, Su Qing needed to find Tang Dan and ask about the situation.

Su Qing headed to the shop.

The streets were starting to empty out again.

"Young Master," Zhang Anping said, bowing respectfully.

"Young Master," Tang Dan greeted with a bow.

"What’s the situation with the Abyss Sea clans? How many days until the time I set?"

"From the Abyss Sea, three races have already arrived. There are two days left until the appointed date."

"The Holy Spirit Race, the Cangqing Race, and the Zhiyang Race."

"The Holy Spirit Race came too?" Su Qing frowned.

’Didn’t I say not to let the Holy Spirit Race come?’

’Those guys always seem so arrogant.’

"Young Master, the Holy Spirit Race sent a powerful expert, the Cangqing Race sent their patriarch, and the Zhiyang Race also sent a powerful expert."

"I’ve already made arrangements for them."

"Fine. Get them settled in. We’ll talk then."

After speaking, Su Qing left.

He sensed Song Zhining’s aura on the island.

So Song Zhining was back. He had to go ask him about things—he had the Spiritual Ore, now all he needed was the Spiritual Energy Converter.

Song Zhining was in his own residence.

He was probably in the middle of his Cultivation.

Su Qing activated his God Demon-breaking Immortal Pupil to take a look.

’Whoa, this guy’s fortune... it’s golden, with a hint of purple.’

’This level of fortune...’

Su Qing was silent for a moment.

Knowing the other party wasn’t truly in seclusion, he sent a voice transmission to notify him.

...
