Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Xue Zhili was filled with excitement; he hadn't expected Qin Ming to present such fine items right at the start.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, rest assured, these two items are enough to be the climax of the event."

"They will definitely fetch a price that will satisfy you, Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, "Then I'll take a stroll around first."

After that, Qin Ming wandered around the black market by himself.

It wasn't long before Qin Ming spotted many valuable items at several stalls.

However, there were also many unsightly and shady items.

After half a stick of incense time.

Qin Ming stopped at a stall, where the vendor was a golden-haired old man. Judging by his clothing, he was likely a cultivator from Liang Country.

The other person's cultivation was not low, faintly emitting the mana fluctuations of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Qin Ming's gaze fell on one of the items at the stall.

"How much is this Tier Two High-Grade Snake Saliva Grass?"

The golden-haired old man was meditating with his eyes narrowed and slowly opened them upon hearing a price inquiry, looking toward Qin Ming.

"Five hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, non-negotiable."

"Or you can exchange it with spiritual materials of equal value."

The golden-haired man's voice was like a great bell, with a robust tone that gave an overwhelming sense of presence.

He glanced at Qin Ming, seeing his cultivation was only at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, and reckoned he couldn't afford the Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Grass, he only considered Qin Ming to be a cultivator asking for the price.

After speaking, the golden-haired old man no longer paid attention to Qin Ming and closed his eyes again.

Qin Ming: "..."

"Alright, I'll take this spirit grass."

After a long while.

The golden-haired old man then suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised as he sized up Qin Ming, and then nodded lightly.

Qin Ming, expressionless, took five hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones from his storage pouch and handed them to the man.

Then he took the Snake Saliva Grass into his hand.

At this moment.

A gray-robed old man came rushing over, with a cultivation also at Foundation Establishment Perfection. He said to the golden-haired old man, "Golden Salamander Old Monster, I want that Snake Saliva Grass of yours. It's exactly what I need to concoct a pill."

"Old Ghost Mu Hee, you're a step too late. The spirit grass has already been bought by this young friend," the Golden Salamander replied blandly.

The old man called Old Ghost Mu Hee became anxious upon hearing this, "How could you sell it already? I really need the Snake Saliva Grass for alchemy."

Then Old Ghost Mu Hee looked toward Qin Ming, noticing his cultivation was only Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, intending to make him obediently hand over the spirit grass.

After all, the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment is three small realms apart from Perfection; the other party could even call him 'senior.'

A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator is considered a top-tier Great Cultivator in many countries.

Old Ghost Mu Hee was about to speak, but when he saw Qin Ming's face clearly, he seemed to remember something.

He then exclaimed in shock, "So it's Qin Ming, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"A pleasure to meet you! A pleasure indeed!"

Old Ghost Mu Hee's attitude suddenly changed, cupping his hands in greeting.

This left the Golden Salamander Old Monster bewildered by the scene; he was well aware of Old Ghost Mu Hee's temperament.

The items he sets his sights on are usually not given up easily.

Why is he talking so gently to this junior today?

"Old Ghost Mu, do you know this young friend?" the Golden Salamander asked.

Old Ghost Mu Hee donned a smile, then replied, "This here is none other than Master Qin from the famous Wei Country! Of course, I know him."

"A Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Plant Master and Alchemy Master, hailed in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm as the most likely cultivator to break through to Tier Three Grandmaster."

"I also heard from Elder Xu of Profound Creek Valley."

"Elder Xu speaks highly of Fellow Daoist Qin!"

The Golden Salamander Old Monster, after hearing this, didn't expect the plain-looking young cultivator before him to have such a significant background and to be highly regarded by Elder Xu of Profound Creek Valley. He quickly stood up from his chair and greeted Qin Ming with cupped hands:

"Haha! So it's Master Qin, my apologies for the earlier neglect, please forgive me."

Qin Ming didn't mind at all; he simply replied politely to the two of them, then lifted his foot to leave.

"Please wait, Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Ming paused again upon hearing this, puzzled, "Is there anything else, Fellow Daoists?"

"Haha! Since we've met here, why not take the opportunity to exchange what we have and engage in some exchange."

"I'm currently concocting a pill and urgently need Snake Saliva Grass as an ingredient. Fellow Daoist Qin, is there anything you need? I am willing to exchange for it, or even purchase it with spirit stones," said Old Ghost Mu Hee.

Qin Ming thought for a moment, then said, "Does Fellow Daoist Mu have the demon pill or essence blood of a Tier Two Perfection Demon Beast?"

"This..." Qin Ming's request left Old Ghost Mu Hee in a bind.

"Frankly, I don't have such high-tier demon beast materials, and the value of Tier Two High-Grade Snake Saliva Grass isn't that high."

"Could Fellow Daoist Qin specify another condition?"

Just as Qin Ming was about to speak.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Qin needs Tier Two Perfection Demon Beast Essence Blood? It so happens I have some here," the Golden Salamander Old Monster suddenly said.

Then he took out an Ointment Jade Bottle from his storage pouch, opened it, and showed it to Qin Ming.

Instantly, a fierce aura surged forth.

"It's indeed Tier Two Perfection Demon Beast Essence Blood, and it's wind-attribute," Qin Ming said delightedly, not expecting to find what he needed here.

"I wonder what conditions Fellow Daoist Jin needs for this bottle of essence blood?"

The Golden Salamander Old Monster pondered for a moment before saying, "This bottle contains the Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood. At that time, two fellow cultivators perished while we were slaying this fierce beast, alas!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Qin's alchemy skill is unparalleled; I would like to exchange for a pill that enhances Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation, or something of equal value."

Qin Ming inwardly rejoiced at the mention, not expecting it to be the Stone Ape Great Demon's Essence Blood. He promptly took out a delicate jade bottle from his storage pouch and handed it over, asking, "I wonder if this pill meets Fellow Daoist Jin's expectations?"

The Golden Salamander Old Monster opened the jade bottle and was immediately enveloped by an alluring fragrance of the pill.

As he looked inside, he showed an expression of immense joy, "Jade Profound Pill!"

Even Old Ghost Mu Hee beside him revealed a look of extreme envy, with a hint of greed flickering in his eyes.

The emergence of this pill attracted the nearby cultivators to gather around and watch.

"Wow! A High-Tier Pill!"

"It looks like a Jade Profound Pill, doesn't it? I've heard only Grandmaster Gongsun Yang from Profound Creek Valley can concoct it."

"Who is this person? How do they have Jade Profound Pill?"

"It's Master Qin from Wei Country. I've heard that his alchemical skills are also at the acme of perfection, not expecting he is capable of concocting Jade Profound Pill too."

...

The Golden Salamander Old Monster hurriedly closed the bottle of the pill and then quickly nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this pill is excellent! It's a deal!"

Thus, Qin Ming nodded and put away the bottle containing the Stone Ape Essence Blood, and both of them got what they needed and were delighted.

Nearby cultivators all showed a look of envy.

"Oh? Is that really a Jade Profound Pill? I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin has any more spare pills?"

"I also wish to deal with Fellow Daoist Qin."

A white-faced middle-aged man at Late-stage Foundation Establishment stepped out from the crowd, smiling and asking Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was about to reply to the man, but as he looked at the middle-aged man, his pupils suddenly contracted.
