Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 378 - 355: Distribution

A few days later.

Qin Ming and Yue Lingyan’s mana had fully recovered, so they set out with the Silver Fox and Heaven-Devouring Rat into the depths of the Beast Roar Mountain Range, preparing to acquire the Nascent Fruit.

The mature Tier Four Nascent Fruit is an elusive treasure for demon beasts.

It can even help a demon beast break through limitations and complete its transformation.

If news of this spirit plant were to leak, it would surely incite a bloody contest between humans and the demon race.

Fortunately, Qin Ming had already asked Yue Lingyan, and only she and the Silver Fox knew about this, as it was the greatest secret of their Silver Moon Celestial Fox clan.

The Beast Roar Mountain Range is vast beyond compare, and after half a month’s flight, Qin Ming and his party finally arrived at the Northwest Realm.

Here, the towering mountains are covered by poisonous mist all year round, rarely visited by anyone, and even demon beasts seldom appear.

Gradually, a natural barrier of gray mist blocked the group’s path.

Qin Ming only needed to probe a little to be amazed at the toxicity of the gray mist in front of them, rivaling that of the eerie fog in the Spirit-Extinguishing Land.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, come in," Yue Lingyan said.

Yue Lingyan took out a piece of Cloud-avoiding Gauze artifact, and after infusing it with demonic power, the cyan gauze instantly expanded to half a zhang in size, just enough to cover both of them.

"Ahem! Fellow Daoist Lingyan, may I ask if this artifact can only expand this much?" Qin Ming coughed lightly and asked.

Because he saw that if both of them hid under it together, it would be a bit cramped...

They might have to stand close to each other to move forward.

Yue Lingyan seemed to have figured out what he was thinking; her expression didn’t change much as she said casually:

"When I crafted this artifact, the materials were too hard to gather completely, so it can only be considered a half-finished product, and only I can drive it with demonic power."

"I originally intended it just to retrieve treasures, and half zhang is enough."

"Unexpectedly..."

Qin Ming nodded lightly. Since Yue Lingyan didn’t mind, he didn’t pretend to be polite and stepped directly into the range of the Cloud-avoiding Gauze artifact.

In an instant, a captivating fragrance enveloped him, jolting his spirit.

Then.

Yue Lingyan infused it with demonic power.

A layer of purple mist shimmered on the Cloud-avoiding Gauze, protecting both of them, and the nearby gray mist dispersed swiftly.

Immediately after, the two leapt forward, flying deeper into the mountains through the poisonous mist and gray fog.

Due to the limited space, Qin Ming simply held Yue Lingyan tightly, flying at full tunneling speed.

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Lingyan, this way we can reach faster," Qin Ming said.

Yue Lingyan did not resist because during her prior treatment by Qin Ming, he had seen everything there was to see.

It didn’t make any difference now.

She also knew that if they didn’t quickly break through this layer of mist and poisonous fog, even with the Cloud-avoiding Gauze, it wouldn’t last long.

Heaven-Devouring Rat and Silver Fox retreated into the Little Spirit Realm, watching the outside scene full of ambiguity, both were somewhat stunned.

"Oh dear, by the looks of it, your mother is about to be won over by my master," Heaven-Devouring Rat turned back, teasingly said to the Little Silver Fox.

Upon hearing her mother was about to be taken away, Silver Fox immediately pouted, tears brimming in her eyes.

Heaven-Devouring Rat, seeing this, quickly changed his tone to comfort her: "Hey, hey! I was just kidding, it’s a joke, look..."

"My master is set on the path of eternal life, how could he be distracted by mere romance?"

"Don’t overthink it."

"Look at the way he holds your mother; he’s totally detached from desire, reaching the realm of a sage indifferent to all..."

"It’s all just cooperation for treasure hunting, don’t think too much, hehe."

Silver Fox restored her normal expression, "Humph," giving a huff as she ran to the side, turning her head away and ignoring Heaven-Devouring Rat.

...

After flying for two full hours.

A mountain valley surrounded by towering peaks came into Qin Ming and Yue Lingyan’s view.

And in the center of the valley, untouched by toxic fog, it resembled an earthly paradise, with various towering ancient trees flourishing, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was exceedingly dense.

A thousand-zhang waterfall cascaded down, with sunlight piercing through the outer gray mist, refracting into a colorful glow.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, we have arrived."

"The cave is just behind the waterfall,"

Yue Lingyan said softly.

"Hmm." Qin Ming responded, continuing to hold Yue Lingyan as they flew in the direction she indicated.

After entering the cave.

The view in front of Qin Ming suddenly changed, and he immediately felt a strong Yin Evil Qi attack.

Fortunately, it was blocked outside by the Cloud-avoiding Gauze.

As the two continued to delve deeper, Qin Ming noticed countless cracks in the cave, spewing terrifying black Yin Evil Qi from time to time.

Probably a regular Golden Core Cultivator would be melted into a pool of blood if they came into contact with even a trace; this is the most terrifying aspect.

"I didn’t expect the periphery of the place where the Nascent Fruit Tree grows to be cut off by such a terrifying natural moat," Qin Ming couldn’t help but say.

Yue Lingyan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard from the elders in my tribe, the Yin Evil here has weakened greatly over time, otherwise, even a Nascent Soul Great Power would have a hard time passing through."

"After all, it is the nurturing ground for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, having such barriers is only natural."

After half an hour passed.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dim cave ahead, energizing Qin Ming’s spirit!

As they accelerated forward, the light within his vision continued to enlarge.

Moments later, the two arrived at a massive cavern space, where a radiant light shone down from the ceiling, illuminating the center of the cavern.

A Spirit Spring emitted swirling mist, bubbling with Spiritual Spring Water, exuding abundant Spiritual Qi.

Next to the Spirit Spring, a mystical Spirit Plant two zhangs tall grew, its trunks as strong as Profound Iron, with white leaves resembling maple leaves that refracted a crystal clear glow under the sunlight.

Three fist-sized vermilion fruits hung from the treasure tree, showing peculiar golden patterns and emitting a dazzling, multicolored captivating brilliance.

Qin Ming released Yue Lingyan, both of them displaying expressions of joy upon seeing such treasures.

He took a closer look and saw that one of the Nascent Fruits was the darkest in color, having already reached maturity.

While the other two seemed a bit unripe, still lacking in maturity.

"These are Tier Four Spirit Plants - Nascent Fruits!"

Heaven-Devouring Rat and Silver Fox also emerged from the Little Spirit Realm, gazing at the scene before them, their expressions extremely excited.

At this moment, Qin Ming turned to Yue Lingyan beside him and asked: "Fellow Daoist Lingyan, the Tier Four Nascent Fruit matures once in a millennium, and of these three Nascent Fruits, only one is fully mature, while the other two appear to still require several decades."

"How do you intend to distribute them?"

He could tell Yue Lingyan had gone to great lengths, all for the Spirit Fruit.

"I previously promised Fellow Daoist Qin, never to forget the life-saving grace; since this is the case, let Fellow Daoist Qin take that mature Spirit Fruit first."

"At worst, I’ll wait a few decades and then come back for the fruit."

Yue Lingyan bit her lip, immediately deciding.

The Silver Fox nearby heard this, tugged at Yue Lingyan’s skirt, and couldn’t help but say: "Mother..."

Qin Ming also noticed Yue Lingyan bore a deep blood feud and urgently needed this mature Tier Four Nascent Fruit for a breakthrough.

Despite this, she still prioritized giving him the Spirit Fruit.

It showed that, as a member of the Demon Race, she indeed possessed a sense of contract spirit.

So he pondered for a moment and suggested: "I see Fellow Daoist Lingyan is doing everything possible, preparing for a long time, eagerly needing this mature Spirit Fruit, right?"

"I, Qin, currently only at Mid-stage Golden Core Realm, don’t immediately need this mature Nascent Fruit, nor am I in a hurry, so why not let Fellow Daoist Lingyan have it?"

"Only...as a condition, I want to take the Earth Spirit Spring and the Nascent Fruit Tree."

Yue Lingyan was stunned upon hearing this because she knew Qin Ming had a Little Spirit Realm capable of transplanting the treasure tree.

"How about this, when the remaining two Nascent Fruits mature, I, Qin, can promise to give Fellow Daoist Lingyan one more, after all, you should also be thinking about your beloved daughter, right?" Qin Ming continued.

Yue Lingyan heard this and immediately nodded and said: "Then let’s follow Fellow Daoist Qin’s words, this Nascent Fruit is vital for me, I will graciously accept it."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, for understanding."

The Nascent Fruit matures only once in a millennium, keeping it serves no purpose, she probably won’t last until the next round.

Seeing the other party agree, a mysterious smile appeared on Qin Ming’s face.
