The night sky is dotted with stars.
High in the distant sky, seven dazzling stars shone brightly, outlining the shape of a sword.
And the one wielding the sword was naturally a celestial being from the upper realm.
Tonight is a rare occurrence, a once-in-a-lifetime event where all seven planets align.
Qin Shou stood in the courtyard, using his Nascent Soul power to draw the Starlight down to the mortal realm, and then used magic to collect the Starlight and place it in a special jade bottle.
Qin Shou plans to brew a kind of wine called Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine.
The wine is divided into seven cups, named after the Big Dipper. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm can drink it and break through one realm unconditionally. This wine can help people break through seven realms in a row.
Once, a genius at the Golden Core Realm drank it and broke through three realms in one night. Another peerless prodigy at the Nascent Soul Realm drank this wine, slept for seven days and seven nights, and after waking up, broke through five realms in one night, shocking the world.
Each layer of Nascent Soul is a layer of Heaven, but the Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine allows one to save hundreds of years of effort. Who wouldn't envy that?
However, this wine is exceptionally precious, and its brewing method has long been lost, though it is recorded in the ancient brewing secrets obtained by Qin Shou.
To brew this wine, one must use Grade 5 Star Grass as the main ingredient, along with thirty-seven kinds of Grade 3 and 4 spiritual herbs and medicines. Finally, one must use the starlight of the Big Dipper, which appears only once every 60 years, as a catalyst. It takes twelve years to successfully brew this wine.
Originally, Qin Shou had never intended to brew this Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine because he lacked the most important herb, Star Grass.
However, a few years ago, when Qin Shou picked the Six Senses Wisdom Grass in the Great Wilderness, he found that there were also a few Star Grasses that were about to mature, which would take about two years.
When the time is right, we'll have to ask that little ice-fire dragon for help.
If this were outside, this single serving of Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine would be enough to make a Nascent Soul Realm expert serve you for a hundred years.
"Um?"
Qin Shou was collecting the light of the stars when he suddenly frowned. He sensed a divine sense coming from a great distance, trying to spy on the scene on Turtle Mountain, but it was blocked by the mountain-protecting formation.
At that moment, Qin Shou's mind stirred, and his divine sense surged forth like a tide.
Soon, he saw a figure standing on a mountain range a hundred miles away from Turtle Mountain, gazing into the distance with his divine sense.
Qin Shou immediately used the system to check.
Now that I've entered the Nascent Soul Realm, the system's detection range has expanded to 150 miles.
[Zhu Bin, former deputy commander of the Vermilion Bird Guard of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation, used a secret technique left behind by the dynasty to find his way here, hoping to bring back their young prince.....]
"Looking for Siwu!"
Qin Shou frowned even more deeply. He took out a jade pendant from his system space, on which was carved a vermilion bird. At that moment, the vermilion bird's eyes suddenly flickered.
brush!
With a thought, Qin Shou vanished from his spot in an instant.
The next moment, it appeared a hundred miles away, behind that figure.
Who is it?
Zhu Bin was startled, and a terrifying mental pressure instantly erupted, surging towards the Qin Beast.
Wow!
With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Shou dispelled Zhu Bin's oppressive aura.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Bin immediately became alert.
"I am a person from that mountain."
The Qin beast spoke.
Zhu Bin breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Zhu Bin, greetings, fellow Daoist."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for raising my little master."
"Previously, a sudden misfortune befell my young master's family, causing him to be lost in the wilderness. I have come here today to welcome my young master home."
As he spoke, Zhu Bin took out a storage ring from his pocket.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a small token of my appreciation, and also to express my gratitude for your kindness in taking in, raising, and teaching my young master."
Qin Shou scanned the storage ring with his divine sense and scoffed, "That's all?"
Seeing this, Zhu Bin said, "This storage ring contains 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and a low-grade magic weapon. If you are not satisfied, I can add another 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, how about that?"
"You can leave now; I don't have the person you're looking for here."
Qin Shou waved his sleeves and said calmly.
"Impossible! I used a secret technique, and the Vermilion Bird's true spirit guided me here. Moreover, I also sensed the young master's aura from afar; there's no mistake about the bloodline within him."
Zhu Bin frowned. "Could it be that you are not satisfied with my thanks, fellow Daoist, and feel that they are insufficient?"
"If that's the case, fellow Daoist, you can name your price. As long as it's not too outrageous, I will definitely do my best to satisfy you."
"I told you, I don't have the person you're looking for here."
Qin Shou's tone became even more indifferent.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Bin's expression immediately turned ugly after hearing this.
"I am only speaking to you kindly because you have adopted the young master, and I am willing to offer a generous gift in return."
"But if you insist on doing this, then I have no choice but to offend you."
Zhu Bin's expression hardened, and he immediately used his supernatural powers. Flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into a golden cage of flames that trapped the Qin beast within.
He planned to capture the Qin beast first and force it to hand over its young master.
"Hmph, a dynasty that has already fallen, where would he find a home to return to?"
Even if I let you take him away, it will only mean his life will be spent in slaughter.
Qin Shou stood in the fiery cage, his hands behind his back, calmly watching the figure shrouded in black robes from beginning to end, showing no fear in the face of danger.
However, these words sounded like a tidal wave to Zhu Bin.
"Who exactly are you?"
How did you know my young master's identity?
Zhu Bin stared intently at Qin Shou.
"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that he is now my disciple, and if I don't wish for him, no one can take him away from the mountain."
"Hmph, young master carries a blood feud. The spirits of the lord and mistress are waiting for him to return to the capital, waiting for him to once again raise the Vermilion Bird banner, waiting for him to trample his enemies into the abyss and ascend to the supreme throne."
"My Vermilion Bird Dynasty will surely endure for ten thousand generations. How can we allow someone of unknown origin to hold His Highness hostage?"
“Fellow Daoist, I originally thought you were just an ordinary reclusive cultivator, but now you know far too much. For the sake of the dynasty's great cause and His Highness's safety, I can no longer let you go.”
As he spoke, Zhu Bin's expression hardened, and he formed a hand seal. Suddenly, blood-red arrows appeared out of thin air and pierced the Qin beast in the fiery cage.
Qin Shou stood tall with his hands behind his back, his expression remaining calm throughout, showing no concern for the opponent's attacks.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
One after another, blood-red arrows pierced the Qin beast's body, only to be blocked by clusters of golden light.
Immediately, a flash of light deflected all the attacks back.
Bang bang bang—
Zhu Bin's body trembled, blocking the rebounding attacks.
"A magical treasure!"
Zhu Bin's brows furrowed, and he suddenly reached out a hand, which grew larger and larger until it transformed into a giant golden hand that grabbed at Qin Beast's neck.
Bang!
However, the next moment, Qin Shou took a step forward, and an earth-shattering power swept out from his body, instantly shattering the fiery cage that enveloped him, as well as Zhu Bin's outstretched golden palm.
brush!
Qin Shou's figure flashed, instantly appearing three feet in front of Zhu Bin. He gently pressed his palm forward, and Zhu Bin, who was at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, was sent flying, blood gushing from his chest, smashing a distant mountain range to pieces.
