Qianji City, Black Obsidian Peak.

"What?! At the bottom of the abyss in the ring-shaped mountain range of the Red Flame Wilderness, there is a Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain thousands of feet large hidden?"

"And the Netherworld Ancestor of the Netherworld Sect has already reached Divinity Transformation Perfection, secretly plotting to refine a Tribulation-defying Treasure, intending to strike at Void Refining, and stand against the Netherworld Sect?"

Within the Cave Mansion, Qin Ming’s voice of surprise echoed, a hint of astonishment showing on his face.

He looked at the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Lan Bing Fairy, who had just returned from the Red Flame Wilderness.

The information they brought back was indeed somewhat unexpected and extremely significant.

If news of the ’Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain’ were to spread, I’m afraid even the Integration-level Sect of the Profound Celestial Realm — ’Profound Celestial Sword Sect’ would be alarmed, leaving nothing for the Netherworld Sect and Netherworld Sect.

Fortunately, at present, this shocking secret is only known to Qin Ming.

Before the two factions discover it, Qin Ming can plan something.

After all, he himself is cultivating the ’Five Extremes True Spirit Stele’, and such Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects would undoubtedly be useful to him.

Opportunities must be seized, for they may never come again!

However, according to the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Lan Bing Fairy, this Divine Mountain is no ordinary thing. Even those at the Divinity Transformation Stage find it hard to approach, let alone silently take it away under the eyes of the Netherworld Sect.

His Little Spirit Realm probably can’t contain such a Thunder Mountain, so it seems he needs to think of other ways.

Qin Ming originally wanted to ask Qingyang the Old Demon, but ever since entering the Spirit Realm, this old guy seems to have been nourished by Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and has remained asleep in recovery, never waking up.

So, after much deliberation, he decided to visit the Library Pavilion in the Mist Immortal Tower to check if there were any records about such a Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain.

...

Half an hour later.

Qin Ming’s figure appeared in the Mist Immortal Tower of the Loose Alliance.

Shopkeeper Chen, seeing it was him, hurried up with an extremely enthusiastic attitude to greet him.

Unexpectedly, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Loose Alliance was also coincidentally at the Mist Immortal Tower today.

He was still dressed in a jade robe, with a wooden crown on his head, and his aura was extremely calm.

When the Vice Alliance Leader of the Loose Alliance saw Qin Ming entering the shop, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if reminding him of something.

He immediately walked over personally and greeted Qin Ming, saying, "This young friend must be the Great Spirit Plant Master Lii residing on the Black Obsidian Peak, correct?"

The Vice Alliance Leader, as the spokesperson of the Loose Alliance, had an extremely noble and generous demeanor, and even towards those with lower cultivation than himself, he did not overly belittle them.

Qin Ming slightly cupped his hands and responded, "Greetings, Alliance Leader Zuo, this junior is indeed Lii Qianjie."

"Friend Lii is truly distinguished and talented. I originally intended to visit your Cave Mansion personally, but I’ve been delayed by some matters recently," said the Vice Alliance Leader.

"I’ve heard that Friend Lii has grown Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rice and is about to advance to a Tier Five Spirit Plant Master, truly wonderful news!"

"To be honest, I also enjoy cultivating flowers and plants in my spare time and would like to exchange insights with Friend Lii, if you’d be so kind?"

Qin Ming showed a slight smile, "Since you, Alliance Leader Zuo, so graciously invited me, I shall naturally accompany you."

Beside them, Shopkeeper Chen of the Mist Immortal Tower was greatly shocked to see the Vice Alliance Leader of the Loose Alliance so highly valuing this Fellow Daoist Lii.

This recluse middle-aged cultivator often came to buy books and spiritual materials, so he was quite a regular customer.

But to hear the Vice Alliance Leader say that the other party had actually managed to grow Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rice... This was somewhat beyond his understanding.

He initially thought Lii Qianjie often made significant purchases, and now it seems... he truly is someone who keeps a low profile!

Subsequently.

Qin Ming followed the Vice Alliance Leader upstairs to a private room with an excellent view.

After the attendant served Spirit Tea,

the two began to discuss the Path of Spiritual Plants, during which Qin Ming learned that this Vice Alliance Leader of the Loose Alliance was actually a Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Plant Master...

They found a common language.

Time slowly passed.

The two chatted in the private room for the entire day, unknowingly until the sun had set in the west.

"Fellow Daoist Lii, your talents and unique insights into cultivating various rare Spirit Plants are unprecedented in my experience of thousands of years, truly humbling..."

"It’s no wonder you could revive the Demon Grain Spirit Rice."

With his advanced farming knowledge, Qin Ming casually demonstrated just a tenth of his capability, completely winning over this Vice Alliance Leader.

"Alliance Leader Zuo, you flatter me. I’m just a humble villager accustomed to this way of life, with merely a bit of experience," Qin Ming said modestly.

The Vice Alliance Leader laughed, "Friend Lii, you truly are a marvelous person, and our temperaments are very much in tune. It’s a pity that even the invitation from the Venerable Nether Bone of the Netherworld Sect you refused, so I presume you won’t join any sect. Otherwise, our Loose Alliance is always eager for talents as rare as Friend Lii."

His words carried a subtle probe.

Qin Ming was immediately alert in his heart, wondering at how the intelligence network of the Mist Concealment Loose Alliance was quite precise, even knowing this detail.

"I’ve grown accustomed to a life of ease, so I’m truly not interested in joining a sect... I may travel elsewhere once the Spirit Rice matures. After all, the Thousand Mechanism Poison Swamp has been rather unsettled lately..."

The Alliance Leader Zuo said, "Indeed so, as the Netherworld Sect suddenly attacked, even our alliance must handle it with caution, and it’s best for Friend Lii not to venture out too much for the time being."
