Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

The middle-aged man with a white face in front of me had undergone some kind of skillful disguise.

It's similar to Qin Ming's 'True Demon Illusion,' equally ingenious, so much so that even ordinary cultivators, or even Golden Core Ancestors, might not be able to see through it.

However, under the 'Eye of Destruction' of Qin Ming, the other's exquisite disguise is as good as nonexistent to him.

He also hid his cultivation level; his actual cultivation is Foundation Establishment Perfection.

This person is none other than the long-disappeared hero of the demonic path—Lin Zixiao!

'It's actually him! What is this person plotting by infiltrating the black market?'

Qin Ming's mind raced swiftly, knowing that this Demon Owl coming here is certainly not a good omen.

He must have some scheme.

However, Qin Ming's current cultivation strength is also fearless of the other party. Compared to when he was chased around, today is different from the past.

Perhaps even if Lin Zixiao has now broken through to Foundation Establishment Perfection, he might still not be his match.

The white-faced middle-aged man disguised by Lin Zixiao saw Qin Ming's eyes flashing with a fleeting, complex emotion.

Apparently, he still vividly remembers almost dying under Qin Ming's Divine Sword Thunder-Attracting Technique in Qingyang Market.

"This Fellow Daoist arrived late; that bottle was already the last of my stock,"

"If you truly need the Jade Profound Pill, you can wait for the upcoming black market auction to start; I have already sent a bottle for auction." Qin Ming replied with a usual calm expression, pretending not to see through the other party.

The white-faced middle-aged man transformed by Lin Zixiao was taken aback for a moment and then smiled, "I also boast some good things, would Fellow Daoist Qin care to take a look?"

Qin Ming inwardly grew wary, seeing Lin Zixiao's insistent demeanor. Not trading with him could easily make him suspicious.

"I also have Demon Beast Essence Blood of Tier Two Perfection here, and even a Demon Pill. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin is interested?" Lin Zixiao said, taking out a jade bottle and an ointment jade box.

Fellow Daoist Qin took a look; indeed, it was as the other said.

Meanwhile, he developed a new estimation of Lin Zixiao's strength; the Tier Two Perfection Great Demon was likely slain by him personally.

This Demon Beast had been dead for less than three days.

"I heard Fellow Daoist Qin exclusively brewed an Immortal Brew named 'Jade Qilin Wine;' I have long admired it. Can I trade these two items for two jars of Fellow Daoist Qin's Jade Qilin Wine?" Lin Zixiao said with a smile.

Externally, Qin Ming showed no change, not understanding why the other would trade two top Demonic Beast materials for merely two jars of Spirit Wine.

But looking at the Essence Blood in the other's hand, it did not have a low bloodline grade, after some thought, he took out two jars of Jade Qilin Wine from his storage pouch and handed them to Lin Zixiao.

"Since Fellow Daoist is so kind, I can hardly refuse."

"Deal!"

Lin Zixiao smiled, accepting the Spirit Wine from Qin Ming without even looking before putting it away.

Qin Ming increasingly couldn't figure out what Lin Zixiao was plotting.

He only wanted to take the Spirit Stones from Xue Zhili and leave as soon as the auction ended.

Afterwards, Qin Ming strolled around the black market again, picking up some things.

At 11:45 AM.

The black market auction commenced, with Xue Zhili taking the stage as the host.

After a passionate opening speech, one rare item after another was displayed.

Because for this auction, the lowest cultivation level participants were Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The bidding process was exceptionally fierce, Xue Zhili ended up profiting immensely.

After dozens of items were auctioned, another item was presented.

Xue Zhili slowly unveiled a red cloth, revealing half a Copper Mirror Fragment.

Upon seeing this item, even Qin Ming, usually calm, felt an unprecedented inner wavering!

'It's actually the other half of the Artifact Fragment!'

'Searching high and low, only to find it effortlessly!'

'Hahaha!'

'I didn't expect to encounter this here; It seems that the matter of refining my Lifebound Artifact can be put on the agenda.'

'But first, I must win the fragment and leave quickly.'

Xue Zhili began introduction, "This item is commissioned for auction by a Fellow Daoist from Wuu Country; it is a piece of Artifact Fragment."

"Starting price six hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!"

As soon as his voice fell, cultivators began to bid.

"Seven hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Although it's an Artifact Fragment, it's somewhat useless! Already ruined, it has no power, not worth the bid."

"Though only a half fragment, it has research value. I bid seven hundred fifty!"

"Eight hundred!"

Observing for a while, Qin Ming timely began bidding, "Eight hundred fifty."

"Nine hundred!"

A familiar voice rang out, Qin Ming looked over and saw it was Lin Zixiao also bidding.

His expression turned a bit unpleasant.

'Won't Lin Zixiao confront me?'

"Nine hundred fifty."

"Nine hundred eighty!"

As the price climbed higher, more cultivators withdrew from bidding.

In the end, only Qin Ming and Lin Zixiao remained.

Lin Zixiao also noticed Qin Ming's interest, thus he continued bidding, though he hadn't figured anything special about it.

"One thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones."

Inwardly, Qin Ming cursed Lin Zixiao while calmly quoting the price.

On stage, Xue Zhili did not expect such a high price for an Artifact Fragment; another revenue creation left his smile nearly uncontrollable.

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin is interested in this item, I won't compete." The white-faced middle-aged man disguised by Lin Zixiao said with a sly smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming let out a long breath.

"One thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones once!"

"One thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones twice!"

"One thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones three times!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Xue Zhili acted swiftly, promptly having someone deliver the Copper Mirror Fragment to him on-site.

Qin Ming glanced at the fragment, confirming it was the other half, immediately becoming excited inside.

However, he masked it well, silently putting away half the Copper Mirror.

Afterwards, Xue Zhili announced the event's highlight auction item.

As the Jade Profound Pill was presented by a servant girl, it ignited the passion of the cultivators present.

Once the bidding began, several Foundation Establishment Perfection veterans couldn't sit still anymore.

All began bidding, with Jade Profound Pill's price soaring.

Only, what made Qin Ming curious was that Lin Zixiao sat among the crowd, ceasing his bidding after a few offers.

This gave Qin Ming an ominous foreboding.

'Won't this guy get it for zero Spirit Stones again?'

Ultimately, the Jade Profound Pill was taken by a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator from Jin Country for two thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

Following that, when Xue Zhili unveiled the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach, the atmosphere in the black market froze!

"Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Fruit, Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach."

"After consumption, it increases Mana Cultivation, and at the same time... the first use extends lifespan by thirty years!"

Boom!

The young cultivators wouldn't mind; they have plenty of remaining lifespan to pursue the Great Dao.

But the older cultivators are different; they all fixed their gaze on the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach, eyes filled with madness.

The Peach for those late-stage Foundation Establishment and Perfection Great Cultivators is extremely enticing.

Additional thirty years of lifespan means more time seeking opportunities to chase the Golden Core Dao.
