Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Wei Wuya remained as carefree as ever, treating Qin Ming as an equal, which was also a gesture of goodwill.

"Friend Qin, please sit. Did you make a special trip here to see me for a particular reason?"

Qin Ming secretly marveled that the top-notch connections he had accumulated over the years were finally coming into use.

Looking across the cultivation realm of Wei Country, what Foundation Establishment independent cultivator could make a Golden Core Ancestor pay such attention? Only Qin Ming, perhaps.

"Junior has come this time to exchange some Tier Three spiritual materials with the two elders," Qin Ming stated directly.

His voice fell.

Wei Wuya's face also showed a smile as he asked with great interest, "Oh? Tier Three spiritual materials? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin is finally preparing to cultivate Tier Three Spirit Plants?"

"Or is it... to refine Tier Three Spiritual Pills?"

Master Nalan Xi's eyes also lit up upon hearing Qin Ming's words, suddenly intrigued.

"Haha, yes indeed. Junior has been cultivating a Tier Three Spirit Plant recently and needs some special materials." Qin Ming said, concealing certain details.

Even though Qin Ming had a good relationship with them, he naturally wouldn't truthfully tell the two Golden Core Ancestors that he was preparing to refine a Tier Three Lifebound Artifact.

When it comes to one's trump cards, the deeper they are hidden, the better.

Nalan Xi, though somewhat prepared, was still surprised, "Oh! So that's the truth!"

"No wonder Friend Qin has reached the pinnacle in the Path of Spiritual Plants. It seems that after a hundred years, the cultivation realm of Wei Country might once again witness the birth of a Tier Three Spirit Plant Grandmaster."

"Hahaha!"

"Truly delightful and worthy of congratulations!"

Wei Wuya's face also bore a similar smile, "If Fellow Daoist Qin would be willing to join the Thunder Origin Sect, not to mention Tier Three spiritual materials, whatever you want, I am willing to give to you. What do you think?"

He directly attempted to recruit.

Qin Ming gave a bitter laugh and waved his hand.

"Might I ask what kind of spiritual materials Fellow Daoist Qin needs, and what do you have to offer in exchange?" Wei Wuya knew Qin Ming's temperament, so he had anticipated this and wasn't concerned.

Qin Ming immediately expressed his needs: "Junior needs Tier Three Profound Gold Divine Sand, Void Nether Soil, Shadow Stone..."

Listening to the line-up of Tier Three spiritual materials that Qin Ming listed, Wei Wuya and Nalan Xi couldn't help but be moved.

Divine sand, soil, and stone, it all indeed sounded like it had to do with farming.

Of course, these top-grade spiritual materials had broad purposes, yet neither Nalan Xi nor Wei Wuya harbored much suspicion.

A Tier Three Spirit Plant Master is a rarity not just in Wei Country, but in the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, making it hard to guess what sort of Spirit Plant Qin Ming intended to cultivate, or his purpose.

"So cultivating a Tier Three Spirit Plant requires so many Tier Three spiritual objects..."

"This is the first time I have realized it."

"Might Fellow Daoist Qin be willing to inform us what Spirit Plant you aim to cultivate upon advancing to a Tier Three Spirit Plant Master?"

"I do have some Profound Gold Divine Sand, but not much."

In a moment, Wei Wuya's curiosity was piqued. If Qin Ming truly managed to advance to a Tier Three Spirit Plant Master, it would indeed be a legendary moment in Wei Country's history.

After gathering his thoughts a bit, Qin Ming then said, "A Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Plant—the Three-Red Soul Reviving Grass."

"What?!"

"So it's this rare Spirit Grass; it seems Friend Qin must be quite confident." Nalan Xi was also slightly astonished, probing subtly.

Qin Ming was candid with the two ancestors, "Haha, the Spirit Grass has already been successfully cultivated. However, the cultivation process still requires a lot of attention and spiritual materials."

Nalan Xi and Wei Wuya, hearing that Qin Ming had already successfully cultivated a Tier Three Spirit Grass, were momentarily stunned.

By Qin Ming's account, he was already one step into the threshold of a Tier Three Grandmaster.

The two ancestors were inwardly shocked, raising their assessment of Qin Ming to unseen heights.

"With that being the case... what would you like to trade for my Profound Crystal Divine Sand, Fellow Daoist Qin?" Wei Wuya's stern face bore a teasing smile.

Qin Ming smiled slightly and took out three Primordial Spirit Peaches and five hundred catties of top-grade Spirit Nesting Rice from his storage pouch, asking Wei Wuya:

"Will these spiritual objects suffice?"

The two Golden Core Ancestors in the hall lit up at the sight of the Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peaches.

Especially Master Nalan Xi, an established Golden Core Ancestor of considerable age, whose desire for longer lifespan far exceeded that of Wei Wuya.

Being a newly minted Golden Core, Wei Wuya surely had a few hundred more years of life.

Yet even so, no cultivator could resist the allure of extending their life.

He could use it for the elders in his sect.

While merely a Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Fruit, these spiritual peaches' effects and value were nearly on par with that of Tier Three spiritual objects.

"I never expected it! I heard that at Xue Zhili's black market auction, a Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach was once auctioned off."

"I assume it was Friend Qin who offered it, correct?"

At this point, the dignified visage of Master Nalan Xi was replaced with a beaming smile.

"Haha, indeed that one was put forth by me." Qin Ming answered honestly.

Wei Wuya nodded in agreement, "Deal."

"However, how about adding a condition? A jar of Jade Qilin Wine, haha!" Wei Wuya stated his condition.

Qin Ming had been pleasantly surprised to agree to the trade, but upon hearing Wei Wuya's additional condition, his eyebrow furrowed.

Realizing it was only that, Qin Ming exhaled in relief, thinking that Wei Wuya was going to demand something outrageous in addition to the Profound Gold Divine Sand.

"In that case, I'll gift Elder Wei an extra jar." He said, taking out three Primordial Spirit Peaches and five hundred catties of top-grade Spirit Nesting Rice for the trade.

Wei Wuya smiled broadly, happily accepting Qin Ming's offering. He handed a jade box to Qin Ming, asking, "Friend Qin, are these Profound Gold Divine Sands enough?"

Upon receiving the jade box and opening it, Qin Ming saw a kind of profound golden spiritual sand inside, its surface glowing. He put the box away, saying, "Thank you, Elder Wei, this is more than enough."

"I happen to have the Void Nether Soil, and the Shadow Stone as well." Master Nalan Xi said, "I wonder if you could exchange them with more Primordial Spirit Peaches?"

To this, Qin Ming replied with a faint smile and took out the remaining dozen or so Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peaches he had.

Master Nalan Xi's eyes brightened as she realized what was happening – he had brought quite a few more surprises to deliver with him to the Great Jin.

Elder Nalan's expression showed joy between her brows as she had not expected Qin Ming to bring such items during his visit to Vast Sea Peak.

Although Qin Ming was eager to refine his artifact and was preparing to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you should be cautious recently. Some days ago, some Demonic Cultivators have emerged in activity from the Six Demonic Sects again." Nalan Xi advised.

Qin Ming was surprised and his eyebrows knit together when he heard that.

"More specifically, there have been sightings of the Six Demonic Sects' cultivators in the area, and it seems they're up to no good again."

He listened and felt a bit of 'bittersweet relief', saying, "I appreciate Elder's warning. I was actually also invited to Fellow Daoist Xue's black market transaction the other day, but I left just in time. Otherwise, I fear I might not have been standing here right now."

After achieving his purpose, Qin Ming left the Vast Sea Peak.

Inside the great hall.

Wei Wuya and Nalan Xi watched Qin Ming's departure.

"Fellow Daoist Nalan, do you think Friend Qin can really achieve the Tier Three Spirit Plant Grandmaster realm?"

"I wouldn't presume to say for certain, but in my opinion, the chances are high. After all, I had previously heard that Friend Qin was able to obtain a lead on a complete Tier Three Spirit Plant Master's legacy from the Mo Family."

"Besides, he also has connections with Su Yuqing of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty..."

"We know that the Su Family is quite influential..."

"It's unfortunate that with all his prowess in the path of spiritual plants and alchemy, his Pseudo Spirit Root talent limits him... reaching Foundation Establishment Stage is the ceiling for him."

"Otherwise, it would not be impossible even for him to achieve the Golden Core Dao..."

"Yes, indeed! Quite a pity."
