Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 381 - 358: Return

Next,

Qin Ming and Yue Lingyan did not stay long in this place, due to the considerable commotion, it might have already drawn the attention of other Transformed Great Demons.

So the two left the valley.

They then found a beautiful location with clear streams and lush mountains. Qin Ming set up a table filled with Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit, and had the Heaven-Devouring Rat cook several exquisite Rice Flower Spirit Fish, to celebrate for Yue Lingyan.

Originally, her breakthrough to the Tier Four Realm should have been celebrated grandly within the Demon Race, with congratulatory visits from far and wide.

But now, as there are changes within the Demon Race, it seems they must wait for Yue Lingyan to retake control of the Fox Race before holding any celebration.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat and Silver Moon, along with others, were also indulging joyfully.

...

...

Half a day later.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I still have some important matters to attend back home, so I won’t delay further. Let’s part ways here."

Yue Lingyan drank a cup of Jade Qilin Wine and said.

Qin Ming could tell she bore deep-seated grudges. Now, with her significantly increased strength, she naturally intended to return to the Beast Roar Mountain Range to settle old scores with those enemies who kicked her while she was down at the time.

Thus, he also rose to bid her farewell.

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Lingyan all the best."

"I also wish Fellow Daoist Qin’s Immortal Dao to flourish endlessly; may the next time we meet, you have also reached the Nascent Soul Realm." Yue Lingyan said with a gentle smile.

Qin Ming smiled wryly, "I am still far from that, and I wonder if I will ever touch the Nascent Soul Realm in this life."

"Thus, I truly envy Fellow Daoist Lingyan for achieving the Tier Four Realm, haha."

Yue Lingyan shook her head, "Why belittle yourself, Fellow Daoist Qin? In my opinion, your strength and fortune are rare in my life. Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is just a matter of time."

"Then I’ll take Fellow Daoist Lingyan’s auspicious words." Qin Ming cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Yue’er, let’s go."

Yue Lingyan called to the Little Silver Fox, and after bidding farewell to Qin Ming once more, the space nearby suddenly rippled, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and she vanished. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Heaven-Devouring Rat gazed longingly in the direction the Silver Fox departed, still reluctant to part.

"What are you looking at? She’s gone." Qin Ming ruffled the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s head.

"What, are you really fond of that little fox? Do you want me to send you to the Fox Race as a live-in son-in-law?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat snapped back to reality and awkwardly chuckled: "How could I? I was just feeling a bit emotional."

"How could I ever leave my master?"

"I swore an oath to fight for my master this life!"

As the Heaven-Devouring Rat said this, its tone was firm and resolute, full of strength!

"Hmm, you indeed rendered great service this time, so I will refine the two Demon Pills you acquired into pills for you—it’s more effective that way than swallowing them raw." Qin Ming, in a good mood, said calmly.

"Also, regarding the spiritual materials for refining the Five Elements Command Banner, I’ve acquired part of it from the black market. Once I gather all the necessary materials, I can begin the refining process."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was overjoyed, "Haha! Thank you for the reward, master!"

"I guarantee this time that I’ll patrol the area diligently and won’t let a single mosquito slip by!"

The Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost Bee also diligently nudged Qin Ming to seek merit.

"Alright, alright, you all will get your share."

Afterward, Qin Ming brought the three Spirit Pets back into the Little Spirit Realm, his figure blurred into a green rainbow, and he vanished into the sky.

Half a month later.

Qin Ming returned non-stop to the Spirit Field of the Five Elements Mountain.

"Unexpectedly, under such coincidental circumstances, the gains from this journey have been so great!"

First is the Nascent Fruit Tree and Earth Spirit Spring, both Tier Four Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures, which are crucially important to him.

Just these two items alone made all Qin Ming’s efforts worthwhile.

Additionally, he won Yue Lingyan’s favor, and now she owes him a significant favor, establishing connections with a Tier Four Demon Saint level contact.

Even before he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, this can be highly useful.

Having such a patron is no exaggeration.

Although he doesn’t rely on others for sustenance, using such connections when available is sensible.

In critical moments, it could save his life.

Yet Qin Ming also understands that in this Cultivation Realm that prioritizes cultivation power, everything still relies on his own strength.

Favours like this, once used, decrease in quantity, and the other party can’t help him constantly.

Yue Lingyan’s favor must be used wisely.

This made Qin Ming more secure within the unfamiliar Great Jin Cultivation Realm.

In the Spirit Field.

Jia Heyi of the Mirror Snow Pavilion and Spirit Plant Master Li Lan saw Qin Ming return, with a faint smile radiating from his face, appearing in a notably good mood.

He looked as if he had forgotten completely about the previous peril when spirit plants were destroyed.

Both went over, respectfully coming to greet him.

"Shopkeeper Lu, you’ve returned."

"Greetings, Shopkeeper Lu."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, asking plainly: "Yes, no need for formalities. Nothing unusual lately, I hope?"

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Lu, everything in the Spirit Field is well. The spirit plants in each spirit field are also growing quite well." Li Lan reported promptly.

In recent times, he had always been thinking about how to redeem himself, so he had been quite diligent in applying Spirit Rain over the Spirit Field, tending to the Spirit Field.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "I have already found out the truth behind the events of some time ago. I do not blame you two for neglecting your duties, so do not blame yourselves."

"Alright, you may each attend to your tasks."

Li Lan and Jia Heyi, upon hearing this, felt great joy, thank him and then retreated to their respective tasks.

In the days following.

Qin Ming returned to his life of farming and cultivating.

At the same time, he kept himself updated with the latest news from the cultivation realm through Hua Tianxiong’s Thousand Mechanism Trading Company channel.

Secretly, Hua Tianxiong was diligently gathering the spiritual materials needed for refining the Divine Wood Pill and Nascent Condensation Pill for Qin Ming. Things were proceeding smoothly.

In just two short months, they had obtained several rare auxiliary materials.

Qin Ming also took the time to use the inner pills and flesh of the Ox Demon King and Black Scorpion Demon King to refine a "Beast Emperor Pill" for his three Spirit Pets.

This pill formula was something he had exchanged from Pei Qing of the Beast King Valley back in the day.

Given the Beast King Valley specializes in Beast Taming, it has various inheritances related to spirit beast cultivation.

And this Tier Three Middle-Grade Beast Emperor Pill is one of them.

Unfortunately, the Beast King Valley’s alchemists were all limited in skill, and even with the pill formula and spiritual materials, they could not refine such Spiritual Pills.

This was a windfall for Qin Ming.

During subsequent days, Qin Ming immersed himself in studying the "Source Dao Pill Scripture" passed to him by Su Yuqing while concurrently refining the Beast Emperor Pill, applying his knowledge and adapting it.

Several days later, in the Alchemy Room of the Little Spirit Realm, a strange fragrance wafted out, immediately drawing the three spirit beasts led by the Heaven-Devouring Rat to rush over.

Qin Ming opened the door and came out with a smile on his face.

"Master, is the spirit pill refined?" the Heaven-Devouring Rat asked eagerly, its eyes full of anticipation.

Qin Ming nodded and then distributed the six Beast Emperor Pills he held to the three Spirit Pets.

After receiving the spirit pills, they happily took their respective doses and went to cultivate.

This Beast Emperor Pill can greatly enhance the physical strength of demon beasts, elevate their cultivation grade, and boost their imposing aura.

For ordinary demon beasts, it is also a rare opportunity.

In the Demon Race, it is said that only Transformed Great Demons can refine such.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, already at Tier Three Mid-Stage, even though two Beast Emperor Pills aren’t enough to elevate to the later stage, they can still considerably enhance its cultivation.

As for the Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost Bee, both at the Early-stage Tier Three level, under Qin Ming’s nurturing along the way, have feasted on numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After taking the Beast Emperor Pill this time, there’s a significant chance to ascend again, breaking through to Tier Three Mid-Stage.

After tending to the three Spirit Pets, Qin Ming turned his gaze to the Tier Four Nascent Fruit Tree.

The environment within the Little Spirit Realm, characterized by a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Vein combined with the supply from the Earth Spirit Spring, barely met the growth needs of this spirit plant.

Since refining the Nascent Condensation Pill required several other major Tier Four Spiritual Materials, Qin Ming didn’t rush to ripen the two spirit fruits on the tree, rather he let them grow naturally.

And the Earth Spirit Spring was also directed by Qin Ming to irrigate the Spirit Field in the Little Spirit Realm, whose effect on irrigation was many times stronger than him casting the Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique.

Inside the Little Spirit Realm, with the nourishing of the Spirit Spring, Spiritual Talent emerged magnificently, transforming the locale almost into an Immortal Cave Mansion.
