Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 369 - 346: Journey to the Central Continent

Chapter 369: Chapter 346: Journey to the Central Continent

By mid-May, the weather was gradually getting hotter.

After Qin Ming finished tending to the Spirit Field, he called over Li Lan.

During this period, Li Lan had witnessed the astonishing Spirit Plant skills of ’Shopkeeper Lu’ and was utterly impressed.

He originally thought that Shopkeeper Lu was just a businessman skilled in managing, but he didn’t expect his Spirit Plant skills to be far superior to his own.

When Shopkeeper Lu initially taught him the method of cultivating Spirit Nesting Rice, he was puzzled as to how the other party could possess such detailed cultivation experience and techniques for Spirit Nesting Rice.

After some time had passed.

The doubts in his heart were all resolved.

Originally, Li Lan thought that with his status as a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, he could live comfortably in the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

However, when he saw the Tier Three Spirit Plants growing vigorously within those ten acres, he instantly understood that Shopkeeper Lu was indeed the true reclusive master!

Thus, Li Lan became even more humble, not daring to boast, diligently working under Qin Ming’s command, cultivating and nurturing Spirit Plants.

Fortunately, hard work paid off in the end, and he successfully cultivated Spirit Nesting Rice.

This also gave him a glimmer of hope for advancing to become a Tier Three Spirit Plant Grandmaster, and if Shopkeeper Lu were willing to occasionally guide him, he would greatly benefit.

He even wanted to take Shopkeeper Lu as his master... but the other party might not necessarily take a liking to him and might instead drive him away, so he never dared to voice it.

"Li Lan, I need to go out to handle some matters. During my absence, remember to bring down a wave of Spiritual Rain every two days on the ten acres of the Spirit Field, but not too much," Qin Ming calmly instructed.

Li Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, rest assured, I will certainly take good care of your Spirit Plants."

"Hmm, off you go then."

Qin Ming used his telepathy to contact the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

But after sending a message for a long time, there was no response.

Qin Ming furrowed his brows, his expression changing several times, but he was relieved knowing that his Divine Contract with the Heaven-Devouring Rat still existed.

"What’s this rebellious guy up to?"

"Just patrolling, it shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?"

The next moment, Qin Ming’s figure vanished from the original spot.

Following the deep connection of the Divine Contract, he flew all the way south of the Spirit Field into the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

After half an incense stick of time.

Qin Ming arrived in front of a slope, but when he looked at the scene before him, he showed a somewhat speechless expression...

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was lying atop a giant rock, sticking its butt up, basking in the sun, hugging the Vermilion Bird Banner and snoring thunderously in sleep.

It seemed to be dreaming a beautiful dream, drooling all over the ground, not even waking up from Qin Ming’s message.

"Little girl... your massage technique is quite nice, give this grandpa a shoulder rub."

It was muttering in its sleep, looking nothing like a dignified Demon King.

Qin Ming walked up and gave it a kick on the butt.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat jerked awake, grabbing a Black Steel Fork and looking around, cursing, "Who! Who’s the turtle-egg daring to ambush this grandpa!"

When it saw that it was Qin Ming, it put on an awkward expression, put on a smiling face, and complimented, "Oh, heh heh! It’s you, Master! Why didn’t you call out to me?"

"I’ve been calling you for ages, couldn’t wake you."

"Is this how you patrol the mountain?" Qin Ming showed an amused expression.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat wiped the drool from its mouth and hurriedly explained, "Master, I patrolled all night without any incidents, just taking a small nap in the day and accidentally overslept, heh heh heh."

Qin Ming didn’t bother arguing with it and instructed, "I’m heading out to visit an old acquaintance, will be back soon. While I’m away, I’m leaving the Spirit Field to you."

"Stay sharp, if anything happens to the Spirit Field, you’ll be held accountable!"

"Huh? You’re leaving?"

"Can you take me along? Let those guys take over for me? It’s so boring here, no Demon Beasts dare to cause trouble, it’s dull."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat seemed expectantly hopeful upon hearing about Qin Ming’s visit.

"No. Matters within the Spirit Field are also important and can’t be neglected, that’s final." Qin Ming stated unequivocally.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat could only begrudgingly agree, continuing its patrol to safeguard the Spirit Field’s safety.

After handling matters within the Spirit Field.

Qin Ming turned into a Cyan Rainbow Escape Light and disappeared into the sky.

After half an hour, he arrived again at the Five Elements Mountain Market.

The large market established by the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance had Transmission Arrays constructed everywhere, making it extremely convenient to reach any part of the Great Jin.

If he were to fly there, the journey from the Southern Border of the Great Jin to the Central Continent is vastly far, taking half a month to reach.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Lu has arrived!"

"It’s really been a while, how’s the spirit field management at Five Elements Mountain?"

Han Yuan and the other two were on duty at the Five Elements Mountain Market, warmly greeting Qin Ming when he entered the Steward Hall within the market.

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen the three of you, as for the Spirit Field, it’s just so-so, slowly picking up now," Qin Ming greeted back, smiling and clasping his hands, returning the courtesy to each of them.

"Well, I heard it borders the Demon Race’s territory, had I known earlier you wouldn’t have acquired the place; although Spirit Lands are rare, it’s just too dangerous, not worth it."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu faces any difficulties, feel free to tell us, and we’ll do our best to help in any way we can."

Han Yuan assumed Qin Ming hadn’t been entirely truthful due to pride.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Indeed, indeed."

"By the way, I’m here this time to use the market’s Transmission Array," Qin Ming said directly.

"Oh? I see."

Liuu Ye smiled tenderly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please follow me, today I happen to be on duty managing the Array."

Afterward.

Qin Ming followed the three of them into a building inside the inner hall, surrounded by tight security.

Upon entering.

An Eight Trigrams-shaped Black Stone Array appeared within Qin Ming’s sight.

"May I ask where Fellow Daoist Lu intends to go?" Liuu Ye inquired.

Qin Ming promptly replied, "I intend to visit Central Continent, Litian Immortal City."

He had checked the map before coming.

Litian Immortal City is the largest Immortal City in Central Continent within the Great Jin, established by the Lihuo Palace, located very close to Longting Lake, just a three-day journey away.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lu is headed to Central Continent, quite a distance indeed, in which case, using the Array once would be quite costly in Spirit Stones," Liuu Ye remarked, surprised but without prying into Qin Ming’s reason for visiting Central Continent.

After all, everyone has their own privacy.

"No matter, Fellow Daoist Liuu, how many Spirit Stones do I need to pay?" Qin Ming asked with a faint smile.

Liuu Ye thought for a moment and said, "I have the authority to give you a twenty percent discount, so for traveling to Litian Immortal City, it’ll be three thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones in total..."

"No problem, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Liuu." Saying this, Qin Ming retrieved the Spirit Stones from his storage pouch and handed them over.

After receiving the Spirit Stones, Liuu Ye took out an ancient Token and handed it to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is a special Teleportation Order by our Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, please keep it safe."

Afterward.

Qin Ming took the Teleportation Order and stood in the center of the Array.

Once the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance filled the Array with Spirit Stones.

With a "buzzing" sound, a dazzling light emanated from the eight corners of the Array, enveloping Qin Ming’s entire body. In a flash, he vanished from the original spot.

Watching Qin Ming’s disappearing figure, Gao Feng couldn’t help but sigh:

"Fellow Daoist Lu’s Mirror Snow Pavilion is indeed vastly wealthy!"

"After acquiring the Tier Four Branch Spirit Field, he can still spend three thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones at once to travel to Central Continent..."

...

After an instant of disorienting dizziness.

When Qin Ming opened his eyes again, he was already in a magnificent and grand hall.

"Welcome, Daoist friend, to Litian Immortal City!"

A middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator in a yellow robe approached Qin Ming with a welcoming smile.
