Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Inside the venue.

Accompanied by the appearance of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The atmosphere of the auction instantly reached its peak.

After several rounds of fierce bidding.

Ultimately, the pills were won at the high price of 4500 Spirit Stones each by three Late-stage Qi Cultivators.

Even Guu Qingzhao rarely showed a hint of a smile.

She exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Yuqing in the private box and then went out to handle the subsequent matters.

After it ended.

Qin Ming and Su Yuqing promptly bid farewell and left.

Through this experience, Qin Ming became increasingly envious of alchemy skills.

Just this one auction made Su Yuqing tens of thousands of Spirit Stones after deducting the auction house's fees.

'Next time, I must succeed in alchemy!'

Qin Ming silently vowed to himself.

"Brother Su, didn't you say you would help me plant Spirit Plants this year and also promise me one thing."

"I wonder... if I could use your Alchemy Room to practice alchemy skills, is it possible..." Qin Ming stammered out his request.

After all.

This involved the other's privacy, making this request.

Quite bold indeed.

Su Yuqing was startled upon hearing this, scrutinized Qin Ming twice, and then laughed, "Brother Qin, you're really not giving up until you reach the Yellow River..."

"Let me be honest, when it comes to alchemy, the primary factor is talent, and most importantly, it's the cultivator's own Divine Soul Power!"

"During the alchemy process, being able to multitask is constantly required, be it with the Fire Control Technique or Fusion Medicine Embryo without strong Divine Soul support, it's hard to sustain."

"In alchemy, talent determines the upper limit; otherwise, it's just a futile waste of time."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes lit up!

Divine Soul Power... it's not impossible to enhance that...

For him, just diligently farming is enough!

"Well... I still want to try, if I don't achieve anything in this path within the year, then I'll give up."

Qin Ming stated to Su Yuqing.

"Alright then, since I promised you."

"Naturally, my word is my bond, as long as I'm not using the Alchemy Room, feel free to use it."

"Anyway... I won't be staying here much longer..."

Su Yuqing raised his head, gazing into the distance, and slowly said.

Qin Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this.

'I can also benefit from the Earth Fire Vein.'

While the two were talking.

Suddenly, a gigantic shadow swept over Qingyang Market.

Qin Ming looked up in surprise at the sky.

A gigantic Dharma Ship, over a hundred zhang long, came into his view, with three exquisite and luxurious layers of buildings on it.

At a glance, including the ship's interior, there must be thousands of rooms.

The massive Dharma Ship, like a Primordial Giant Beast, exudes a grandiose aura representing a sect's prowess.

Instantly.

All cultivators in the market noticed this occurrence.

Everyone looked up.

All were engulfed in shock.

But Qin Ming already knew from Shopkeeper Liao about this matter, his expression remained calm, showing no significant change.

"Look!"

"Even Spirit Feather Sect's Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship has arrived!"

"Is something about to happen again?"

...

Su Yuqing also looked up, showing a thoughtful expression.

Spirit Feather Sect's Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship docked next to the market, and people began to flow out steadily from the ship.

Leading them were five Foundation Establishment Elders.

Behind them were four Inner Sect Disciples dressed in blue with golden silk robes.

Each exuding a spirited aura, their bodies emanating the mana fluctuations of Late-stage Qi Cultivators.

"Even Core Disciples have been deployed."

"I'm afraid Qingyang Market is set for significant changes."

"What on earth is happening?"

Among the crowd of cultivators in the market, an unrest began to spread.

Qin Ming also appeared solemn, lost in thought.

With the arrival of Spirit Feather Sect's elite cultivators.

Three days later.

Another Dharma Ship, no less than Spirit Feather Sect's, docked near Qingyang Market.

Above, the flag representing "Golden Cloud Valley" waved in the breeze.

Aboard the ship were all elite cultivators from Golden Cloud Valley, dressed in red Dharma robes.

After the people from Golden Cloud Valley arrived, they began setting up camp near the market.

In an instant, the number of cultivators at Qingyang Market surged dramatically, becoming overcrowded.

Even the slum district housing was completely rented out.

Afterward, both Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley simultaneously announced forming a coalition.

They would establish a "Cloud Marsh Immortal City" at Five Peaks Mountain, five hundred li away from Qingyang Market.

This news caused a stir, various discussions ensued.

Qin Ming pondered alone in his room about his future plans.

The current influx of people into the slum district resulted in a mix of various cultivators.

Although there was a patrol team from Spirit Feather Sect, they couldn't manage so many people.

Incidents of murder and treasure stealing were about to occur frequently again.

Though Qin Ming wasn't afraid of cultivators at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

But thinking about it, even Fellow Daoist Long, a Late-stage Qi Cultivator, was found dead in the river.

A sense of crisis loomed.

Qin Ming began brewing Blood Locust Rice, and following the Beast Hide Scripture, started cultivating the 6th Layer of "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture".

Deep into the night, after cultivation.

The Qi Blood Power within him grew stronger.

"No, I need to move inside the market."

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, immediately sending Shopkeeper Liao a Sound Transmission Talisman, asking if there was any way to obtain a rental housing spot within the market.

Soon.

Shopkeeper Liao replied.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you're aware of the current situation."

"The housing prices inside the market have already surged several times, unless the joint army of Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley completes the Immortal City, it won't clear any space anytime soon."

"However... previously, I heard from Spirit Feather Sect people that Fellow Daoist Ruan's family went to the Steward Hall, informing that the Soul Lamp at Fellow Daoist Ruan's home had gone out."

"The remaining members of the Ruan Family couldn't afford the subsequent courtyard rent and had processed the retreatment procedures."

"Now, the Ruan Family's courtyard spot is vacant."

"I'll help you inquire about any possibility of obtaining it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but smirk.

'Isn't this convenient? Fellow Daoist Ruan was personally sent off.'

'A stroke of luck, indeed.'

Mid-April.

Qin Ming was working in the fields.

Steward Gue's Dharma Ship arrived over the Spirit Fields.

Du Haifu, the overseer, also came along.

After gathering all Spirit Farmers together.

Steward Gue's rigid expression, devoid of any emotion, announced in a commanding tone, "Due to tense situations at the front lines, the sect has dispatched many reinforcements."

"During the period before the Cloud Marsh Immortal City is completed."

"The Spirit Rice tax for all Spirit Farmers will increase by one-tenth from the original rate."

This news spread.

All Spirit Farmers below were in uproar!

"What?! Increasing again?"

"That'll be eighty percent tax!"

"How can people live?!"

Cai the Ninth stood beside Qin Ming, his face clouded with worry.

"Sigh... Younger Brother Qin, what are we going to do!"

Qin Ming's brow furrowed, this meant that even though his tax was halved, it would increase by another one-tenth.

Which equates to a total of forty-five percent Spirit Rice tax.

He quietly thought to himself:

'It's not right to harvest like this; the chives aren't fully grown yet.'
