Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 336 - 315: Proposal

As Qin Ming approached the Vast Sea Immortal City, he sensed a few familiar Golden Core auras.

Similarly, the four Ancestors on Vast Sea Peak naturally detected Qin Ming’s arrival.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Qin has returned!"

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin on advancing to the mid-stage of Golden Core. The Immortal Dao progresses another step."

"Truly a joyous occasion!"

Elder Qingxuan flashed and appeared before Qin Ming, smiling as he congratulated him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it’s been so long!"

"You truly grow younger with each passing year."

Nalan Xi’s figure also appeared. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations on your significant progress in cultivation."

Wei Wuya and Pei Qing also flew out to warmly greet Qin Ming.

"Haha! I didn’t expect all you fellow Daoists to be here. What a coincidence," Qin Ming replied with a smile, returning the greetings to each of them.

Afterwards,

Qin Ming followed the four back to Vast Sea Peak.

After the events in Wuu Country, their attitude toward Qin Ming had changed in many ways.

"Fellow Daoist Nalan, thank you for taking care of Wangyue Island for me all this time."

Qin Ming raised a cup and said to Nalan Xi with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is too polite. It was just a minor effort. I’m the one who benefited from your Dust-annihilating Pill, haha!"

"It’s rare to not see Fellow Daoist Qin for years, yet your cultivation grows ever more refined, and your Immortal Path is limitless."

"It seems that this journey of yours was quite fruitful."

Qin Ming humbly said, "I was lucky to break through, it was just a minor encounter."

Loose cultivators who reach this stage all have their secrets.

None of those present would delve deeply.

"By the way, on my return, I saw that the Demon Beasts had retreated to the Beast Roar Mountain Range. Has the situation reversed again?"

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Qin, it’s like this..."

Then, the ancestors explained to Qin Ming the current situation of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm and discussed some of their future plans.

"Now that the Beast Tide has receded, it’s a great opportunity for us."

"Once we eliminate the poison of the Tai Lake Ruins, the Cultivation Realm can stabilize again."

"As for Jin Country, we must reclaim it; otherwise, if it falls into demonic hands, it will be a persistent concern, always needing vigilance."

At this point, Elder Qingxuan paused and said to Qin Ming, "We discussed before, and suggest that if we take back Jin Country, would Fellow Daoist Qin be interested in leading it?"

"Leading Jin Country?" Qin Ming showed a trace of surprise on his face.

However, he shook his head and said, "I’m used to being a loose cultivator, uninterested in establishing a sect."

"Nor can I undertake such a great responsibility."

Qin Ming naturally understood, knowing that they hoped he would help in dealing with the demonic path and the ghost plague.

Elder Qingxuan and Nalan Xi exchanged looks of regret.

After all, with Qin Ming’s current mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, his involvement would greatly increase the chances of dealing with the ghost plague and the demonic path.

Being able to cut down three demonic path Golden Cores, probably only the late-stage Golden Core Elder Qingxuan among them could match that.

The Golden Core ancestors were aware of Qin Ming’s nature and refrained from forcing him, then changed the topic to share cultivation experiences.

Taking this opportunity, they also held a small celebration to welcome Qin Ming, celebrating his breakthrough to mid-stage Golden Core.

During the banquet, a small trading fair took place.

As a Tier Three Spirit Plant Grandmaster and Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster, Qin Ming naturally had many valuable items.

Over the past ten years in the Little Spirit Realm, he had refined many Tier Three Pills, which came in handy at this moment.

Having reached the Golden Core stage, these Tier Three Spirit Pills became even more sought after than Spirit Stones.

Qin Ming used his alchemy to exchange with the ancestors for many rare spiritual materials.

Bear in mind, they were either sect leaders or city lords with a foundation built over centuries.

Half a day later,

the ancestors had more to discuss, so Qin Ming took his leave.

He didn’t rush to depart but went to the Mirror Snow Pavilion in the Inner City.

In the Mirror Snow Pavilion, Shopkeeper Liao, dressed in luxurious golden robes, with a pleasant demeanor, sat in a private room on the seventh floor, surrounded by the fragrance of spirit incense, reviewing account books while holding them in one hand.

In the other hand, he held a cup of precious Spirit Tea, leisurely sipping it.

His cultivation had now reached the early-stage Foundation Establishment.

"Shopkeeper Liao, I trust you are well!"

"You’re living quite comfortably..."

At this moment.

An ethereal voice resonated.

The room felt a spatial ripple, followed by ripples spreading out.

Shopkeeper Liao looked in shock at the scene as if he had seen a ghost.

Out of nowhere, a person appeared in the room.

Once the figure fully emerged, a familiar silhouette entered his sight.

Looking at him with a soft smile.

Shopkeeper Liao’s eyes widened. The shock instantly turned to joy, rushing forward excitedly to greet him:

"Qin... Elder Qin!"

"What brings you here?"

"Welcome, Elder Qin, to grace us with your presence!"

Qin Ming casually waved his hand to lift him up, "No need for formalities."

Shopkeeper Liao’s face bloomed with a warm smile, quickly pouring Spirit Tea for Qin Ming, "Please have some tea, Elder Qin."

"I didn’t expect, after so long, that Shopkeeper Liao not only succeeded in Foundation Establishment but also became the vice master of Mirror Snow Pavilion, rising high so quickly?" Qin Ming glanced at Shopkeeper Liao, smiling lightly.

Shopkeeper Liao hurriedly replied, "Hehe! I owe it to Elder Qin’s favor."

"The higher-ups acknowledged my merit in knowing Elder Qin. After Pavilion Master Guu left, they arranged the vice master position for me, temporarily managing the shop’s affairs in her absence."

"I took the opportunity to save some resources, and at an auction, I acquired a Foundation Establishment Pill, thankfully achieving Foundation Establishment."

"Without meeting Elder Qin during the time at Qingyun Market, I doubt I would have reached this point in my life."

Qin Ming responded, "These are your fortunes, no need to be modest."

"By the way, has Fellow Daoist Guu not returned yet?"

Qin Ming came back intending to meet Guu Qingzhao.

She mentioned leaving to seek a breakthrough for the Golden Core opportunity.

"Pavilion Master Guu only returned twice. The last I heard, she was planning to go to fight demons and ghosts in Liang Country, and collect spiritual materials."

"There hasn’t been any word since then."

Qin Ming nodded, sighing inwardly, not expecting Guu Qingzhao to be so determined, choosing to sharpen her cultivation through demon slaying.

However, danger and risk accompany this path, a slight mistake could render years of hard cultivation to ashes.

Since Guu Qingzhao wasn’t present, Qin Ming exchanged a few pleasantries with Shopkeeper Liao, then left the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

He wrote a letter to be delivered to Su Yuqing of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, enclosing fifty catties of Jade Emperor Spirit Rice.

By doing this, he intended to learn in advance about the current state of the Great Jin and developments in the war situation of Lihuo Palace.

Preparing for his future journey to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

The letter briefly introduced his current situation, emphasizing his accomplishment in refining Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Pills.

How would Su Yuqing, the alchemy genius, feel upon learning this?

Qin Ming also visited the Steward Hall to see Lvu Wanjun, sat briefly, then departed from the Vast Sea Immortal City.

Half an hour later.

He rode the Silver-winged Frost Bee back to the Spirit Nest Islands once again.

...

Meanwhile, several tiny shadows lurking near the Immortal City witnessed the situation, slowly vanishing into the void.
