Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Inside the cave mansion.

Qin Ming took out the two Copper Mirror fragments and found that they could be perfectly joined together.

"As expected, they are fragments of the same artifact."

After piecing the Copper Mirror together, a complete bronze mirror appeared before him.

The back of the mirror was engraved with Eight Trigrams symbols and spirit patterns, while the mirror's surface was extremely smooth, emitting a mysterious and obscure aura.

Even though this artifact had been damaged, Qin Ming could still feel that when intact, the Dharma Mirror must have been an exceptionally powerful artifact.

At least it would be much stronger than ordinary Golden Core stage artifacts.

"What a pity... It would be great if this treasure could be restored..." Qin Ming gently stroked the mirror's surface, full of regret.

Later, he studied the other half of the Copper Mirror fragment for a long time and found it was also sealed by an ancient restriction.

"Still need to have the Heaven-Devouring Rat erase the restriction inside the Copper Mirror first."

"I wonder how it's recovering after eating the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit."

Qin Ming then stepped out of the cave mansion.

As he just arrived outside, a vast amount of Demon Qi from the direction of the Spirit Field surged skywards, spreading all around.

Even the Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost Bee flew near the Spirit Field to watch.

"Hahaha!"

"I, the master, has finally restored to Tier Two Perfection!"

"It's really not easy!"

"Persist a little longer, and maybe I can restore all my cultivation and return to the Tier Three Demon King form, hahahaha!"

The arrogant laughter of the Heaven-Devouring Rat echoed among the Spirit Fields.

When Qin Ming went over to find it, he saw the Heaven-Devouring Rat still standing with its hands on its hips, laughing uproariously.

Qin Ming walked over and gave it a kick on the butt, "What are you doing? Planning a rebellion now that you've restored your cultivation?"

"Hehe! Master, how would I dare to rebel, just expressing my feelings, releasing some suppressed emotions." The Heaven-Devouring Rat rubbed its butt, grinning broadly.

Qin Ming nodded, then handed over the other half of the Copper Mirror to it, "See if you can remove the restriction inside this fragment."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat took the Copper Mirror fragment, glanced at it briefly, and confidently patted its chest, "Rest assured, Master."

"I've recovered much of my cultivation strength, and the divine techniques I can use have also been restored considerably. Now it only takes half a day to break the restriction inside."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming showed a hint of surprise. The last time the Heaven-Devouring Rat removed the restriction from the first fragment, it took two days.

Now it only needs half a day, indicating it has quite a variety of means in breaking restrictions.

Receiving the fragment, the Heaven-Devouring Rat began to focus on swallowing and spewing profound light to start breaking it.

After half a day.

Qin Ming was under the peach blossom tree, savoring the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach, sipping Jade Qilin Wine, and watching the Spirit Farmer work below the island, feeling extremely content.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, holding the fragment, smiled cheekily and handed it to Qin Ming, "Master, the restriction inside has been released, take a look."

"Oh? That was really quick." Qin Ming's eyes lit up, taking the Copper Mirror fragment and casually pulling out half of an ancient silk.

After delivering the item, the Heaven-Devouring Rat didn't leave immediately, its eyes wandering between the Spirit Peach and Spirit Wine.

Qin Ming frowned slightly and then poured it a bowl of Jade Qilin Wine, "If there's nothing else, you can go back to farming."

"Hehe! Thank you for the reward, Master."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, having received its reward, scampered back to the Spirit Field to get busy.

Qin Ming then spread out the silk, and the contents instantly made him beam with joy.

"It really is a complete treasure refining method!"

In the following time.

Apart from tending to the Spirit Field and Spirit Medicine, Qin Ming focused all his attention on this Treasure Refining Technique.

However—

The more Qin Ming read, the more shocked he became because he learned from the contents of the ancient silk that this ancient bronze mirror was actually the lifebound artifact of an ancient great power from tens of thousands of years ago, known as the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror.

That Golden Core Perfection powerhouse used to rely on this treasure mirror to dominate the cultivation realm, being almost invincible below the Nascent Soul stage. Countless Golden Core Ancestors perished under the Golden Divine Flame...

However, for unknown reasons, that great power destroyed his lifebound artifact and hid a piece of ancient silk, recording his lifelong artifact refining expertise within.

In addition, Qin Ming obtained another crucial piece of information in the latter half of the ancient silk.

That is, the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror originally had an artifact spirit, which the ancient great power sealed in a place in the Liang Country cultivation realm, with the detailed location marked.

"If I could retrieve the artifact spirit, I wonder if I could completely restore the treasure mirror?"

"But... something doesn't feel right!"

"Could it be bait in a distant place like Liang Country?"

Anyone else seeing the description of the treasure mirror's power would probably go searching for the artifact spirit according to the location.

But Qin Ming, adhering to a cautious principle, did not rush to seek it out.

Since he had already cultivated the spiritual materials capable of refining the artifact embryo.

He planned to first attempt forging a lifebound artifact embryo according to the method on the ancient silk.

"However, a year later, I will definitely need to go to Liang Country, to Profound Creek Valley to obtain the Golden Core Formation Pill Formula..."

"By then, I might explore and watch the matter of the artifact spirit."

Subsequently, Qin Ming memorized the entire Treasure Refining Technique, without missing a word.

The methods of inscribing spirit pattern restrictions and sacrificial refining techniques within were practiced countless times by him as well.

Half a month later.

Qin Ming walked out of the cave mansion and came before the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine, where four golden terms floated in his view:

[Name]: Yin Yang Profound Vine [Entry]: Abundant Lifespan X5 (Maturity 86%)

[Name]: Yin Yang Profound Vine [Entry]: Mana Spring (Maturity 87%)

[Name]: Yin Yang Profound Vine [Entry]: Leaf of Space-Time (Maturity 85%)

[Name]: Yin Yang Profound Vine [Entry]: Spirit Plant Seed Treasure [Maturity 88%]

"After feeding the over ten Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivation Blood Pearls and three Foundation Establishment Perfection Blood Pearls obtained last time."

"The growth progress of the Demon Flower on the Yin Yang Profound Vine indeed accelerated significantly and is about to mature."

Subsequently, Qin Ming reached out and retrieved several dozen more Blood Pearls.

These Blood Pearls were collected from the Mist Illusion Realm, all from some Demon Beasts that unwittingly entered the realm and were turned into dried corpses by the Thorny Spirit Seeds laid out within.

Though most were from Low-Tier Demon Beasts, there were only five Blood Pearls from Tier Two Demon Beasts.

"I reckon these Blood Pearls should be enough to urge the Demon Flower on the Yin Yang Profound Vine to maturity."

Qin Ming waved his hand, allowing dozens of Blood Pearls to fall beneath the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine.

Countless black vines danced, absorbing all the Blood Pearls thoroughly.

The Profound Vine grew taller and taller, with the Demon Flower on its vines shining brilliantly, starting to grow rapidly.

Three days later.

On the Yin Yang Profound Vine, dozens of silver-black intertwined Spirit Fruits appeared.

Qin Ming reached out, harvesting all the Spirit Fruits from the vines.

In an instant, three blue entries and one purple entry appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
