Chapter 1047: Prince Ning

Every one hundred thousand years, the Sin Domain Realm would be completely reset.

The process for this reset was brutal and straightforward: first, all spiritual energy was severed, and then the Red Moon Secret Power was unleashed, plunging all living beings in the Sin Domain Realm into a state of suffering worse than death.

Furthermore, the Sin Domain Realm served as an experimental ground for various great factions. If the great powers of the Blood Spirit Realm wanted to test new paths of cultivation, they would conduct experiments in the Sin Domain Realm, using the entire plane as their test subject.

When the time came, the entire Sin Domain Realm would undergo a Great Purge.

Any living beings who survived this Great Purge would be brought back to the Blood Spirit Realm.

Once the plane was completely devoid of life, it would be re-created. The great powers of the Blood Spirit Realm would then re-evolve everything in heaven and earth, before stripping the cultivation of certain sinners from the Blood Spirit Realm and casting them down into the new world.

At that time, a brand new world would appear.

"Does the Blood Spirit Realm have a great power comprehending the Great Dao related to the Law of Reincarnation? Otherwise, they wouldn't go to such great lengths."

Li Qing's knowledge was now quite extensive, and he quickly made a few deductions.

As for the existence of this Blood Spirit Realm, this Spirit Body Imprint was too weak, and he couldn't obtain any useful information from it.

However, Li Qing wasn't too surprised. He had long known that the spirit realm he was in was not the only one. There were other spirit realms with extremely prosperous immortal dao civilizations, existing in different forms.

All these spirit realms were related to the True Immortal Realm, existing as a cluster of realms, each with its own different name.

After completely crushing the imprint, Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

"If that's the case, Jing'er might still be alive. With the protection of the Yellow Spring Stele, she might have been brought into the Blood Spirit Realm."

"But this realm is about to be re-opened. If I stay, I might be in danger. What if I'm targeted by some great power..."

With this thought, Li Qing decided to leave and no longer linger.

In the future, when I become stronger, I will find a way to gather information about the Blood Spirit Realm, or simply break through the void from the World of Eternal Night and ascend directly to it.

As for the World-Suppressing Stele, Li Qing decided to give up on refining it.

Though a World Interface Treasure equivalent to an Earth-grade spiritual treasure was undeniably valuable, it wasn't enough to make him reckless.

With that, Li Qing left the World of Eternal Night and returned to the Spirit Realm.

Buzz!

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth naturally flooded into his body, Li Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The heavy pressure from the world finally dissipated.

"Calculating the time, the seven-day appointment with the Chengshun Business Firm should be about up."

With that, Li Qing left his cave abode and headed straight for the Chengshun Business Firm in Yujing City.

Inside the Chengshun Business Firm in Yujing City.

Seeing the middle-aged man with an extremely imposing aura standing beside Shopkeeper Fang, Li Qing's expression immediately turned serious.

"Shopkeeper Fang, I don't recall our transaction involving a third party."

If Yujing City hadn't banned fighting, Li Qing would have fled without looking back.

Because this middle-aged man in a python robe was actually a Body Integration Realm expert. Even Li Qing felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from him.

For a moment, Li Qing thought Shopkeeper Fang had targeted him and hired someone to kill him and seize all the Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng.

"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be afraid. This is Prince Ning," Shopkeeper Fang explained hastily.

Hearing this, Li Qing's pupils constricted slightly. He hadn't expected to encounter royalty from the Great Yu Kingdom so soon.

The Great Yu Kingdom was an immortal cultivation dynasty. Its current Emperor of Great Yu was a late Body Integration Realm expert who had lived for at least twenty thousand years.

Although his descendants could not inherit the throne, any prince or grandson who achieved a certain level of cultivation could be enfeoffed as a king.

And the Prince Ning before him was a powerful cultivator who had fought his way out of the fiercely competitive royal family to secure his own kingship.

"Prince Ning, this is the Fellow Daoist Limitless I mentioned earlier. The ginseng containing the Qilin Treasure Blood came from him," Shopkeeper Fang introduced.

Hearing this, Li Qing's opinion of the Chengshun Business Firm plummeted to its lowest point.

If a merchant guild couldn't even keep a customer's basic information confidential, Li Qing wouldn't trust them, no matter how large their business grew.

Hearing this, Prince Ning, dressed in a purple python robe, slowly nodded. He sized Li Qing up from head to toe but remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Qing cupped his hands toward the other man and said, "Greetings, Senior Prince Ning!"

Even in a feudal immortal cultivation dynasty like the Great Yu Kingdom, strength was still the ultimate truth.

Although the other man was the noble Prince Ning, Li Qing, as a fellow immortal cultivator whose cultivation was only one realm lower, didn't need to kneel. A respectful greeting as "Senior" would suffice.

Prince Ning nodded and spoke in a leisurely tone:

"No need for formalities. This Prince heard that you possess a treasure medicine containing true qilin blood, so I have come in person to complete this transaction."

As he spoke, Prince Ning waved his hand, and a white jade porcelain bottle appeared in his palm as if from nowhere.

"This is the high-grade snake demon essence blood you desire, refined from an Underworld Python Demon King of the Body Integration Realm. You may examine it and see if it meets your satisfaction."

Prince Ning was remarkably generous, tossing the white jade porcelain bottle directly to Li Qing without any concern that he might try to cheat him.

Li Qing lifted the sealed stopper from the bottle. A thick wave of demon qi billowed out, and inside the white jade vessel, a small crimson python coiled upward, glaring at him with sheer ferocity.

It truly is the essence blood of a high-tier python demon!

Even after death, the essence blood refined from such a being retained its original form and even its ferocious aura.

"Good. I am satisfied with this essence blood," Li Qing nodded, resealing the bottle to prevent the demon qi from leaking.

With the Underworld Python Demon King's essence blood, he could now continue cultivating the second, and even the third, level of the Nine Serpent Heart Sutra.

Once he mastered it, he would gain another powerful means of self-preservation, giving him great confidence in escaping unscathed even when facing old monsters of the Body Integration Realm.

"Heh, as long as you're satisfied. Now, let's discuss our deal."

"Do you have any more precious medicines containing Qilin Treasure Blood? This Prince needs at least twenty more stalks. If you can produce them, I can give you even more Underworld Python essence blood!"

Prince Ning's eyes narrowed as he stared at Li Qing with an urgent intensity.

Hearing this, Li Qing's first instinct was to refuse, as a single portion of Underworld Python essence blood was already sufficient for him.

However, Prince Ning's next words made him swallow his refusal.
