Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

A few hours later.

Qin Ming had completed refining seven times.

Among them, there were still several failures.

Finally.

During the eighth attempt.

A burst of Five-Colored Radiance emerged from the Profound Jade Furnace, swirling continuously and lingering above the Pill Furnace.

Qin Ming's expression lit up with joy as he raised his hand towards the Pill Furnace, and instantly, a transparent Spirit Pill with six Dao Patterns appeared in his palm.

"High-Grade Soul Reviving Pill!"

After consuming all the remaining materials, Qin Ming had refined two ordinary Life-Restoring Pills and two High-Grade Soul Reviving Pills.

For such a highly challenging Tier Two Top-Grade pill, the yield rate was exceptionally high.

Qin Ming studied the few pills for a while, then stored them in a jade bottle.

"Tsk-tsk, these seemingly unremarkable pills can actually restore a Cultivator to their peak, like a fleeting illusion."

Although it took him less than a month to refine the pills, he wasn't in a hurry to deliver them to Vast Sea Immortal City.

In any case, three months later, he still needed to go to the Pill Furnace Pavilion in Vast Sea Immortal City to pick up spiritual materials, so he might as well do it all then.

In the meantime.

Besides his cultivation, Qin Ming continued researching the High-Tier Puppet Technique he had obtained from Miao Renke's storage pouch.

After years of study, Qin Ming was approaching a Tier Two mastery of Puppet Control Technique and Divine Splitting.

The few Grass Puppets in his Spirit Field had been upgraded to Top-Grade Tier One by him.

After returning from Vast Sea Immortal City last time, he had also purchased some materials and refined a Tier Two Puppet.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Qin Ming focused intently on manipulating the item in his hand.

The various materials gradually took shape under Qin Ming's meticulous crafting, especially as he embedded a black copper piece into the core.

A Spirit Turtle-styled puppet was assembled by him.

Qin Ming even painted its exterior with an earthy yellow color, making it look quite lifelike at first glance.

Then Qin Ming embedded a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone into the core groove of the Turtle Puppet.

Immediately, the entire Spirit Puppet emitted a series of crackling sounds, with an ink-green Spirit Pattern lighting up on its surface.

The three-zhang-sized Spirit Turtle Puppet moved slightly, then looked towards Qin Ming with a pair of blue eyes, awaiting his command.

Qin Ming employed the Puppet Control Technique, splitting a trace of Divine Thought into the puppet.

In the next moment.

The Spirit Turtle raised its head and puffed out its chest, its massive shell glowing with a layer of earthy yellow light.

The Spiritual Pressure it emitted was comparable to that of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Tier Two Low-Grade Puppet! Finally, I've refined it."

"Although it's just a low-quality Tier Two Puppet, there is still room for improvement."

Qin Ming looked at his meticulous creation with satisfaction.

This Turtle Puppet was a defensive type, capable of withstanding attacks below Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and could even utilize a Water Arrow Technique with power not much different from the Magic of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Puppetry was quite useful to Qin Ming beyond simply helping him dig and weed.

In future cultivation journeys, when encountering grand opportunities, if there arises a Core Formation or Nascent Soul Opportunity.

Even with ample lifespan, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Once Puppetry reached Great Success, it could serve as a disposable vanguard.

It could significantly reduce risks for him.

Materials like demon beast ingredients, Spirit Woods, and ores could all be used as puppet crafting materials.

Qin Ming never lacked these items, so learning to craft them was quite smooth.

From then on, apart from Spirit Plants and Alchemy, Qin Ming gained another skill in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, reaching the Tier Two level.

...

Two months later.

With Qin Ming's continuous improvements and the addition of materials to enhance puppet quality,

two brand-new Tier Two Low-Grade Turtle Spirit Puppets were born in his hands. Although their attack power was not remarkable, they were very durable and could be used as disposable vanguards for exploration in the future.

Since he still had plenty of spiritual materials, he could recreate them even if they were destroyed.

"The three-month period is up, and it's about time to head to Vast Sea Immortal City."

Qin Ming stored the two Spirit Puppets into his storage pouch, then summoned the Silver-winged Frost Bee, opened the Mist Illusion Realm, and directly left Wangyue Island.

The situation outside hadn't changed much, though demon beasts seemed to have calmed down a lot compared to before.

Riding the Silver-winged Frost Bee, Qin Ming sped ahead, reaching Vast Sea Immortal City in just over an hour.

The soil outside the Immortal City was still bright red, indicating that several waves of Beast Tide had swept through during this period.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Here's a fat sheep!"

"Brother, please stay for a moment!"

"Stop... stop... stop right there!"

As Qin Ming paused not far outside Vast Sea Immortal City, just having stored the Silver-winged Frost Bee into the Spirit Beast Bag and was about to send a message to Lvu Liang for permission to enter through the Array,

two Escape Lights flashed by, blocking his path with the figures of a plump and a slender cultivator.

Their eyes were sinister, exuding the Mana fluctuations of Early-stage Foundation Establishment, grinning wickedly at Qin Ming.

It seemed they were Tribulation Cultivators lying in wait near the Immortal City amidst the chaos of the Beast Tide.

"Brother, you must be really courageous, daring to travel alone in these chaotic times."

"Since you're alone, you can't blame us, Shee Mountain's Double Assassins."

"If you surrender obediently, we'll cause you less trouble."

"Perhaps I might ease your suffering a bit later, hehe!"

Qin Ming was quite frustrated; he hadn't encountered any demon beast attacks on his way here.
