Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

"It's actually the Poison of Time!"

Qin Ming learned about this Divine Poison Sting from the Silver-winged Frost Bee through mind sensing.

This Time Poison Sting can bypass any defense. Any living creature struck by the sting will deplete its remaining lifespan within a few breaths and rapidly die of old age.

However, this divine ability is a significant burden for the Silver-winged Frost Bee as well.

Because every time this poison sting is used, it requires the burning of its own lifespan as the cost. Within the same realm, burning one year of the Silver-wing's lifespan can exchange for ten years of the opponent's lifespan, that's a 1:10 ratio.

If it's across a Great Realm, the ratio reverses, and the lifespan exchange ratio becomes 10:1.

It's like if facing a Golden Core Ancestor or a Tier Three Demon King, the Silver-winged Frost Bee would need to consume ten years of its own lifespan to trade for one year of the opponent's lifespan.

It's essentially a self-destructive attack...

"If the Silver-winged Frost Bee consumes one year of lifespan, it can cut down the opponent's lifespan by ten years. If it encounters some old Golden Core ones who have barely any lifespan left, it might still be surprisingly effective."

"It seems the power of this divine ability is astonishing but can't be used frequently... It can only be an ace in the hole and cannot be easily used unless absolutely necessary."

As a late-stage Tier Two Beast, the Silver-winged Frost Bee has a much longer lifespan than human cultivators, having over six hundred years, making it capable of using it a few times.

"I wonder if the Yin Yang Profound Vine can help the Silver-winged Frost Bee recover the lifespan loss."

"Alas, if only I had this divine ability, I now have over eight hundred years of lifespan and can keep refreshing lifespan entries, never running out."

"What a pity."

At this moment, three spirit pets surrounded Qin Ming.

'Two late-stage Tier Two Great Demons and one mid-stage Tier Two Demon King whose strength is being restored.'

'Two Tier Two Middle-Grade Turtle Spirit Puppets.'

'Plus, my own strength.'

'With such a formation, it far exceeds some major forces.'

'Below the Golden Core stage, I can truly claim to be 'invincible.'

'The tension outside should have eased a bit; it's time for an outing.'

'I've ripened the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach again and can almost deliver it to the Mirror Snow Pavilion.'

'On the way, I'll purchase a batch of alchemy spiritual materials.'

To be safe, Qin Ming brought all three spirit beasts with him this time.

Afterward, Qin Ming put the Profound Water Crocodile and Heaven-Devouring Rat into the Spirit Beast Bag, mounting the Silver-winged Frost Bee.

But just as he was about to set off, he heard the Heaven-Devouring Rat shouting complaints from the Spirit Beast Bag:

"Damn, you big fool, move your butt over a bit."

"It's too damn cramped in here."

"Ugh~ What did you eat this morning? Your breath stinks!"

Qin Ming's mouth twitched as he listened to the commotion inside.

He thought about it too; this Spirit Beast Bag has been used for a long time, bought in the early years, and quite cheap, seems like it's time to get them a bigger one.

After that, he informed Wu Jiang and then rode the Silver-winged Frost Bee off Wangyue Island.

Along the way, Qin Ming observed the changes in the outside world.

Various cultivators hunting demons and beast hordes gradually increased.

Fortunately, since the Spirit Nest Islands were cleared of demon beasts by the joint forces of the Three Great Powers, the number of beast attacks there has drastically reduced.

The area with the most demon beasts is still around the Vast Sea Immortal City, where large herds of beasts constantly keep a vigilant eye.

An hour later.

Qin Ming arrived outside the gate of Vast Sea Immortal City.

He was lucky not to encounter any beast attacks on the city today, although the city walls were still lined with guards on high alert.

Qin Ming put away the Silver-winged Frost Bee in mid-air, concealing his mana aura to Early-stage Foundation Establishment before descending.

He was not in disguise while handling affairs in Vast Sea Immortal City, showing his true appearance, and the guards at the city gate immediately recognized him.

After he presented the Vast Sea Order, Qii, the guards respectfully opened the grand array to let him in.

Once inside the outer city, Qin Ming could clearly feel the significant increase in cultivators compared to two years ago.

Apart from various loose cultivators, many sect cultivators from other three kingdoms were also present.

Dressed in diverse sect robes, they roamed the bustling streets.

'It seems my information being released has garnered attention from the higher levels of the Cultivation Realm, dispatching cultivators for assistance.'

'After all, as the first sacred land for independent cultivators, Vast Sea Immortal City is strategically positioned at the intersection of four countries.'

'If this natural pass were to be breached by beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.'

Merely standing in the outer city, Qin Ming sensed new and unfamiliar Golden Core Ancestors' aura around the core Vast Sea Peak.

Apparently, Golden Core Ancestors from the other three kingdoms have been sent for reinforcements.

Qin Ming also visited the Fengg Family's place in the inner city and found everything thriving, as the Spirit Talisman store continued operating prosperously.

Fengg Sihai's cultivation has also improved significantly, just a step away from reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection.

In the core area.

Lvu Wanjun had been reassigned to logistics, only needing to handle simple cultivator coordination and orders.

Later.

Qin Ming walked along the main road, crossing several alleys to enter the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Qin is here!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why have you come?"

"Why didn't you give us a heads-up beforehand?"

Inside the restaurant on the first floor, both Huangfu Qii and Guu Qingzhao were present.

Upon seeing Qin Ming enter, they rose to greet him.

"Haha, haven't been to the Immortal City for a long time, just out for a stroll." Qin Ming smiled as he greeted the two.

Then, at Guu Qingzhao's invitation, the three headed upstairs to a private room.

For cultivators, two years' time passes in the blink of an eye, yet seeing Qin Ming again brought a rare joy to Guu Qingzhao.

She knew Qin Ming was the type engrossed in cultivating in his Spirit Field, not bothering to come out unless necessary.

It seemed he had good items to sell again.

Last time, Qin Ming had mistakenly been teleported to the Beast Roar Mountain Range by the core area's Teleportation Array.

Guu Qingzhao and others were worried, and after Qin Ming returned, Wu Jiang reassured them he was safe.

He merely claimed he was sent to the edge of the Beast Roar Mountain Range without further elaboration.

...

In the room.

The remnants of spirit tea lingered, and sandalwood incense curled in the air.

The few of them first discussed the recent situation.

"Fellow Daoist Guu, since the situation with the beast tide is worsening, why remain in the Immortal City and not withdraw earlier?" Qin Ming asked, puzzled.

Guu Qingzhao replied, "With the current situation, we no longer have the freedom to decide on our own."

"I previously mentioned to Fellow Daoist Qin that the beast tide this time might be orchestrated behind the scenes by a Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon King of the Beast Roar Mountain Range."

"Forget elsewhere, even within the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, there aren't necessarily any safe places."

"Naturally, we major powers must contribute to opposing the beast tide, unlike previous instances where we could stay out of it."

Qin Ming realized with a start, even the Mirror Snow Pavilion was essentially conscripted.

Later.

Qin Ming brought out the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach, handing over more than twenty of them to Guu Qingzhao, saying, "These are the spirit peaches I previously promised Fellow Daoist Guu to cultivate, now the first batch of spirit peaches has matured, they are for you."

"With this, my transaction with Fellow Daoist Guu is complete, from now on the spiritual peach tree is mine, haha!"

Guu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qii gazed at the spirit peaches brimming with spiritual aura, their faces full of astonishment.

Huangfu Qii swallowed with difficulty, tearing his gaze from the spirit peaches, then asked Qin Ming:

"Is this the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach of legend, rumored to enhance cultivator's skills and extend lifespan after consumption?"

Qin Ming smiled calmly, "Indeed, if Fellow Daoist Qii doesn't believe it, you can have a taste."
