Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 384 - 361: Concealment

Qin Ming happily put away the storage pouch.

Then he said to the Little Silver Fox, "Thank your mother for me."

"Elder Qin, there’s no need to be polite. We can’t use these things anyway."

In high spirits, Qin Ming picked some spirit fruits, cooked a large pot of Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, and caught several Rice Flower Spirit Fish from the lake to reward the Little Silver Fox who came from afar.

Thanks to the Little Silver Fox, the Heaven-Devouring Rat, Profound Water Crocodile, and Silver-winged Frost Bee also enjoyed the feast.

"Such a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, with so many delicious things, really makes a girl envious." The Little Silver Fox said indistinctly to the Heaven-Devouring Rat, while stuffing spirit fruits and rice into its mouth.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat chuckled, "Why don’t you just stay and enjoy good food and drinks with our master?"

"No, no, no, I still have to go back, otherwise my mother will worry." The Little Silver Fox quickly waved its hand.

Qin Ming thought of something and asked the Little Silver Fox, "By the way, I heard there’s been some disturbance within the Beast Roar Mountain Range. What exactly is going on now?"

"Currently, the four largest demon clans in the Beast Roar Mountain Range are our Silver Moon Celestial Fox clan, the Wind-splitting Eagle clan, the Mountain Giant Ape clan, and the Seven-Colored Peacock clan."

"Among these four demon clans, each has a Tier Four Demon Saint, and the foundation of the Wind-splitting Eagle and Mountain Giant Ape clans is the strongest."

"The Wind-splitting Eagle clan has two Tier Four Demon Saints. The newly ascended Great Black Heaven Demon Saint is warlike, advocating expansion and competing with the Human Race for resources."

"Our Silver Moon Celestial Fox had just stabilized, so naturally, we oppose warfare."

"Both the Mountain Giant Ape clan and the Peacock clan remain neutral. As long as the Human Race does not invade them, they will not take action lightly."

"Originally, the Cyan-faced Poison Flood Dragon clan was hopeful of becoming the fifth major clan, but I heard from my mother that the Cyan-faced Poison Flood Dragon Demon King was killed by you, Elder Qin. Since then, the Poisonous Flood Dragon clan has been declining, replaced by other Demon Beast Royal clans."

"Of course, there are some powerful hidden demon beasts deep within the Beast Roar Mountain Range that even we do not know about."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming pondered, so it seems there are quite a few Tier Four Transformation Great Demons within the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

And on the Human Race side, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators across the three major cultivation realms combined is probably on par with them.

Tier Four early-stage Transformed Great Demons are far more powerful than ordinary Human Race Nascent Souls, comparable to mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but sometimes they can’t be judged by the same standards.

Fortunately, only the Wind-splitting Eagle clan among the demon clans is warlike, which is relatively good news for the Human Race.

During the meal.

Qin Ming inquired further about the situations within the demon clans from the Little Silver Fox.

After the Little Silver Fox was full and satisfied, it bid farewell to Qin Ming, "Elder Qin, it’s about time; I must return now."

"Hmm, I will have the Heaven-Devouring Rat escort you back."

"Heaven-Devouring Rat, make sure to see Yue’er safely returned to the Fox Race." Qin Ming lightly instructed.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat shivered and quickly patted its chest, "Master, don’t worry."

Subsequently.

Qin Ming packed some spirit fruits and spirit wine from the Little Spirit Realm for the Little Silver Fox.

Then the Heaven-Devouring Rat took the Little Silver Fox back to the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

In the following time.

Qin Ming took out the spiritual materials brought by the Little Silver Fox and began attempting to refine the Divine Wood Pill.

The Divine Wood Pill, being an ancient pill formula with several substituted spiritual materials, was quite difficult to refine.

Qin Ming failed more than a dozen times before barely succeeding in refining two.

Fortunately, the spiritual materials brought by the Little Silver Fox were plentiful, giving Qin Ming the space to make mistakes.

Qin Ming kept a portion of the spiritual materials and planted them in the Little Spirit Realm, so he could refine more in the future.

Two azure spirit pills quietly lay in Qin Ming’s palm, emitting a layer of pill halo. The fragrance of herbs and plants filled his nostrils, invigorating his spirit.

He took one of the Divine Wood Pills, sat cross-legged under the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine, and began cultivation.

A pure burst of medicinal power instantly spread through Qin Ming’s body, and he started operating the .

At the same time, the spiritual plant apparition of the Cyan Emperor Wood Emperor Sacred Body appeared behind him.

Although several kinds of spiritual materials were substituted, the medicinal power was not diminished at all. Looking across the current cultivation realm, only a genius in the alchemy dao like Su Yuqing could have made such adjustments.

The Divine Wood Pill is a spiritual pill aimed at enhancing mid to late-stage Golden Core, even more superior than the previous Dust-annihilating Pill.

In the current cultivation realm, it is likely only Qin Ming who holds these two pills.

Several days passed.

Qin Ming awoke from the state of cultivation, slowly opening his dark-as-ink eyes.

After digesting the medicinal power of the Divine Wood Pill, his cultivation advanced significantly, drawing nearer to the late-stage Golden Core.

"This Divine Wood Pill truly deserves to be called an ancient spiritual pill; it’s extraordinarily magical. If it were to circulate, it would probably cause a scramble among those Golden Core old monsters."

Subsequently.

Qin Ming retrieved the spiritual materials needed to refine the Five Elements Command Banner and started refining the artifact.

"Feather Silk of the late-stage Tier Three Golden Feathered Celestial Falcon..."

"Thunder Tiger Essence Blood, Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood..."

"Earth Nether Yin Wood..."

"This set of top-tier artifacts is indeed very difficult to refine."

"But since I promised the Heaven-Devouring Rat, I must make it for it."

In the days that followed, Qin Ming stayed indoors, busy refining the remaining four command flags.

After a few months.

Qin Ming had almost finished refining all four Five Elements Command Banner artifact embryos.

Only a few final procedures were left before the artifact could be completely formed.

One day, Qin Ming went to the Five Elements Mountain Market to purchase some spiritual materials to decorate his Five Elements Banner.

But he received an urgent message from Han Yuan and the other two, who seemed to have something very important to tell him.

So, Qin Ming had to go see them.

Having not seen each other for a long time, they went to the Wind-Riding Tower, ordered a table of dishes, drank, and caught up.

After they were seated.

Han Yuan, with a highly serious expression, reminded Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Lu, recently the caravans of your esteemed trading company must be especially vigilant."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Han, has something happened?" Qin Ming frowned at the words, faintly sensing something amiss.

He immediately asked, following up on the other’s words.

Han Yuan said, "Indeed, there have recently been several horrifying incidents of caravan robberies that have alarmed the upper levels of the Commerce Alliance."

"However, to save face, the Commerce Alliance has blocked the information and not spread the word."

"Initially, the upper echelon also thought this was just ordinary tribulation cultivator chaos. But unexpectedly, just a few days ago, a caravan under the Lingyuan Trading Company, one of the top ten business houses in the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, was also robbed while transporting goods."

"Even the Golden Core Stage elder responsible for escorting the caravan met a tragic end..."

At this point in Han Yuan’s words, Gao Feng, on the side, continued solemnly, "It should be noted that the elder escorting Lingyuan Trading Company’s caravan is the renowned Elder Chi Yang from the Great Jin, whose cultivation had even reached the mid-stage Golden Core."

"For this reason, Elder Jin Han of the Commerce Alliance was furious, organizing people and personally investigating this matter."

Qin Ming was greatly astonished at what he heard, his eyes flickering continuously, and he began pondering deeply.
