His words subtly hinted at something, but he did not delve any deeper.

Qin Ming nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"By the way, Friend Lii, have you come to our alliance’s shop with any specific needs?" Alliance Leader Zuo suddenly asked.

Qin Ming was initially taken aback but quickly replied, "Haha, it’s nothing major. I merely heard that the Red Flame Wilderness produces Tier Six Poisonous Ore, and I’m quite interested in writings about spiritual ores, so I came to purchase a couple of books to take a look."

Alliance Leader Zuo nodded; recently, this matter has been widely discussed, so it’s not surprising that Qin Ming would be interested.

However, he took out a purple jade scroll from his storage pouch and said to Qin Ming, "Haha! It so happens that I have a ’Spirit Realm Treasures Record’ here, which records various high-tier rare spiritual objects, including exotic spiritual ores. This particular book was penned by a great power of the human race, offering detailed notes on heaven and earth spiritual objects. Even the great human cities might not have such records, and I believe it won’t disappoint Friend Lii."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s heart was stirred. But considering that Vice Alliance Leader Zuo spoke so elaborately of the value of the item in hand, he was unlikely to trade it easily.

He then asked, "What kind of compensation does Alliance Leader Zuo require to be willing to trade this book to a junior like me?"

Alliance Leader Zuo did not immediately set a price but took out another white jade scroll, handing it to Qin Ming, "Friend Lii, take a look at the catalog introduction, and you’ll understand."

Qin Ming took the jade scroll, probed it with his Divine Thought, and was immediately taken aback.

This ’Spirit Realm Treasures Record’ was surprisingly crafted by a Loose Cultivator called the Cloud Wanderer at the Integration Stage.

This person was extremely fond of traveling and had practically traversed every mountain and river in the human territories of the Spirit Realm, even visiting several great domains of the Alien Race.

He spent nearly thirty thousand years compiling this book.

It records the contents of millions of heaven and earth spiritual objects, covering various Immortal Mansion Treasures from low-tier to high-tier.

It even introduces Integration-level spiritual objects of Tier Six and Tier Seven.

After reading the catalog, Qin Ming was intrigued, his eyes flickering with excitement.

He wondered where this Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Loose Alliance had acquired what could be considered an encyclopedia of the Spirit Realm.

"Alliance Leader Zuo, if the information on this scroll is indeed true, then this book is quite valuable." Qin Ming looked up and said.

Alliance Leader Zuo finally showed a smile, "Haha! Naturally, it is. But I am willing to exchange it with you, provided that when your Demon Grain Spirit Rice matures, I would like a complete stalk of Spirit Rice. Would that be possible?"

"Were it someone else, I would never use this spiritual scripture for a trade. It’s just that you, Friend Lii, align well with my interests."

Qin Ming mused that after all this, it turns out this fellow had his eyes on his Spirit Rice...

He deliberately put on a difficult expression, "This... Alliance Leader Zuo, you know, Demon Grain Spirit Rice is a Tier Five Spirit Plant, and in terms of practical value... it far surpasses this Spirit Object Chronicles."

"Haha! I won’t shortchange you; I’ll supplement you with ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones as a difference." Alliance Leader Zuo said.

Qin Ming immediately agreed, "Deal."

Alliance Leader Zuo was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately handed the purple jade scroll to Qin Ming.

"Alliance Leader Zuo, shouldn’t we sign an agreement?" Qin Ming asked while taking the jade scroll.

"There’s no need, Friend Lii resides on Black Obsidian Peak. How could I fear you would run away?"

Qin Ming nodded, immediately engaging his Divine Thought to browse the ’Spirit Realm Treasures Record’, deeply impressed by the items recorded inside.

As he glanced through it, he found that the catalog on the purple jade scroll was even more comprehensive than the one on the white jade scroll.

His gaze then fell on the Thunder Attribute Divine Stone, discovering records relating to the ’Thunder Pattern Essence’ and ’Thunder Marrow Crystal Stone’ that the Heaven-Devouring Rat had mentioned...

The subsequent content provided detailed introductions to these two extremely rare spiritual ores.

The places where these two heaven and earth spiritual objects are born even have a chance of birthing something called ’Thunder Magnetic Divine Stone’...

’Based on the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s report... there’s an entire mountain range...’

Qin Ming quickly scanned further and found several Secret Techniques for refining and capturing Thunder Magnetic Divine Stones, summarized by the predecessor Cloud Wanderer.

In the regions he traveled, he had only seen this once, and it was taken by other true spirit races of the Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming delightedly received the jade scroll.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader Zuo."

"It’s nothing. Today, I’ve enjoyed our conversation greatly. Consider it a mutually beneficial exchange."

The transaction concluded.

With the personal send-off from Alliance Leader Zuo and Shopkeeper Chen, Qin Ming left the shop.

...

Upon returning to the cave mansion at Black Obsidian Peak.

Qin Ming immediately took out the jade scroll and devoted his energy to studying it.

’So to capture the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, I actually need to refine a special Spirit Cauldron artifact... along with a Thunder Attribute Treasure Collection Array...’

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and with a thought, the Spirit King Cauldron flew out, spinning gracefully, and quietly hovered in front of him.

"This Spirit King Cauldron is quite mystical, I reckon it’s sufficient; it saves me the trouble of refining a Spirit Cauldron, just need to re-consecrate it."

"Next, I only need to refine the Treasure Capturing Technique and Array."

Half a month later.

A layer of blue Thunder Juice shimmered on Qin Ming’s body, his hands continuously flipping, as eighteen Array Flags floated in the air, all crafted from the branches of the Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree.

The Profound Water Crocodile opened its massive mouth, diligently pouring Thunder Divine Technique into the Array Flags.

Surrounding them were silver-blue mysterious runes wandering, all merging into the Array Flags atop the Spirit King Cauldron.

As Qin Ming cast the last rune from his hand, the blue radiance gathered, and the eighteen Array Flags instantly got absorbed into the Spirit King Cauldron.

Buzz!

Only a burst of spiritual light erupted from the Spirit King Cauldron, radiating a peculiar attractive and repelling force.

Qin Ming waved his large hand, retracting the Divine Techniques.

Then he rewarded the Profound Water Crocodile with some Spirit Pills to restore its Demonic Power, as the half-month ritual of refining the array had nearly exhausted its thunder power, leaving it collapsed on the ground, utterly fatigued.

"It’s finally done, but who knows if Cloud Wanderer’s Spirit Capturing Array can capture the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain."

Qin Ming’s eyes showed a hint of excitement.

But the related Secret Techniques in the "Spirit Realm Treasures Record" only targeted small pieces of Thunder Magnetic Divine Stone.

Now, however, it was an entire Ten Thousand Feet Divine Mountain, so even though Qin Ming had refined the Spirit Capturing Array, he was reluctant to guarantee success.

Nevertheless, having the corresponding Secret Technique, whether it succeeds or not, Qin Ming decided to give it a shot.

Later.

Qin Ming summoned Lan Bing Fairy, letting her transform again into the Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow.

He and the Heaven-Devouring Rat rode the Nether Sparrow, secretly flying to the Red Flame Wilderness.

Having experienced the previous exploration, both the Heaven-Devouring Rat and it were familiar with the path.

The group quickly followed the Void Passage dug by Heaven-Devouring Rat, arriving beneath the ten-thousand-foot abyss.

On the way, Qin Ming saw the Netherworld Sect frantically deploying manpower to dig holes in secret, yet faced with the thick Ink Crystal Wall Rock layer, their efficiency was terribly slow, like a snail crawling...

At their pace, without three to five years, there’s no way they could reach the bottom.

During the excavation, they were also contaminated by the poisons released from the Poisonous Ore, constantly having to carry out dead bodies...

Momentarily.

The further Qin Ming descended, the more he felt the surging Power of Thunder through his potent Divine Thought Power, even the rock layers held terrifying Thunder Juice.

However, for someone with a formidable body, it was harmless.

His Demon Infant Primordial Spirit immediately cast Divine Techniques, forming a shield with treasure armor resembling a glass-like thin film, isolating all the thunder outside.

After advancing several hundred feet further, his vision suddenly brightened, arriving at the place the Heaven-Devouring Rat mentioned within the abyss—the Thunder World...

Despite being well-traveled, he was deeply shocked by the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain ahead!

Numerous blue thunders, resembling countless Flood Dragons, roared fiercely, swirling and entwining on the Divine Mountain.

Even Qingyang the Old Demon, who had been dormant, was startled awake by the commotion outside.

After a long period of recuperation, and with the Star Sea Divine Vine’s restoration and nurturing of the Divine Soul, his soul body had returned to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

He appeared far more energetic than before.

Qingyang the Old Demon opened his drowsy eyes, yawned long, "What’s the commotion outside? Disturbing old man’s peaceful dream..."

Yet, when he saw the situation outside clearly.

Initially, his drowsy brain became immensely alert, eyes widening as he exclaimed, "What’s this thing? Such a massive Thunder Magnetic Divine Stone... No, it’s an entire Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain!"

"This, this... Friend Qin, I’m wondering if you’ve captured some kind of fortune?"
