Moon Gazing Island, inside the cave abode.
Qin Ming sat cross-legged, his eyes gleaming with a deep, remote silence.
His entire body resembled a Jian Wood that remained evergreen through the ages. Rich, verdant vitality radiated around him, transforming into wisps of plant essence and the aura of time that spilled outward in every direction.
At his side, the Devouring Sky Rat, Silver Fox, Tian Ling'er, Mystic Water Crocodile, and Silver-Winged Frost Bees all lay nearby, greedily absorbing the drifting plant-and-time essence to cultivate.
As streams of essence flowed into them, their auras gradually rose, undergoing some indescribably subtle change.
Over the past several decades, Qin Ming had taken two other newly refined fifth-order pills. Coupled with the five-element cultivation techniques he had obtained from the demonic infant—
By this day, he had completely cultivated the wood-element Azure Wood Longevity Scripture to great mastery.
The instant the technique broke through—
An immense surge of wood-element spiritual qi gathered from every corner of Moon Gazing Island, forming a funnel-shaped azure spirit cloud that poured into Qin Ming's body.
The tiny Primordial Spirit within Qin Ming's Purple Mansion Spirit Platform flew out. With one inhalation, like a whale drawing in water, it devoured all the azure spiritual qi in an instant.
Inside the cave abode, the verdant vitality around Qin Ming grew ever denser, finally reaching its peak.
Boom!
With a clear cry, the spiritual-cloud radiance abruptly expanded once more, stretching thousands of miles away.
The aura of Qin Ming's tiny Primordial Spirit became several times more powerful than before.
Immediately afterward—
He took out a Profound Origin Spirit Gathering Pill and a Heart Questioning Pill, swallowing them separately.
In an instant, immense medicinal power coursed through his limbs and bones, and his body and mind entered an unprecedentedly profound, ethereal state.
