Longevity: Start Farming with Entries Chapter 131 - 126: Return of the Demonic Shadow

Qin Ming followed the voice and looked over, discovering the speaker was Mun Yuanshan from Qilian Mountain.

He continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin, these two Top-Grade Divine Essence Fruits are each worth about six thousand Spirit Stones, totaling twelve thousand Spirit Stones. Adding fifty jin of Spirit Nesting Rice, estimated at auction prices, that’s about seven thousand two hundred Spirit Stones. The total value of these two spiritual items is around nineteen thousand Spirit Stones."

"And my Tier Two Mid-Stage White-Ard Ape Essence Blood is equally rare and hard to find."

"You should know, this beast’s strength was comparable to a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Back then, it took our ancestor and several other Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivators to barely slay it."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you must be aware of the value of its Essence Blood?"

Qin Ming furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

The other party had a point; Essence Blood is different from ordinary blood as it contains the concentrated essence of a demon beast’s bloodline. A demon beast yields only a small bottle, sotis just a few drops.

The Essence Blood of a White-Ard Ape with strength comparable to the Late-stage Foundation Establishnt is undeniably precious.

Then again, Qin Ming’s Spirit Nesting Rice is also a rare commodity, unique in the market.

Moreover, it can directly increase a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s cultivation level, which is quite evident.

"Hmm... I can add another ten jin of Spirit Nesting Rice. What does Fellow Daoist Mun think?" Qin Ming considered and straightforwardly said.

Mun Yuanshan’s eyes glinted with greed as he spoke, "Add another thirty jin of Spirit Nesting Rice, then I’ll trade with Fellow Daoist Qin."

"I’ll add another twenty jin; I don’t have more than that." Qin Ming firmly said.

To obtain the high-tier ape demon beast Essence Blood, he compromised.

After all, he had several hundred jin of Spirit Nesting Rice in his storage pouch.

Mun Yuanshan had been waiting for Qin Ming’s response and was overjoyed, "It’s a deal! Fellow Daoist Qin."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming took out twenty jin more of Spirit Nesting Rice from his storage pouch, along with the Top-Grade Divine Essence Fruit on the table, and handed them to Mun Yuanshan.

Mun Yuanshan also took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took the jade bottle, opened the restriction, and took a quick look inside. A rich, overpowering bloody scent rushed toward him instantly.

Inside, there was also the essence spirit of an ape, roaring incessantly.

Without showing any sign, he stored away the Essence Blood, ecstatic with his success in acquiring this high-tier ape demon beast’s Essence Blood through great effort.

The exchange eting continued.

Various treasures erged one after another, accumulated over the years by the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators present, usually not revealed easily.

Qin Ming exchanged two more items with other cultivators.

After half a day.

The exchange eting was nearing its end.

Xue Zhili instructed the servants to prepare several tables of banquet for everyone.

"Hehehe, this exchange eting is successfully concluded. Co, everyone, let’s have a walk together!"

With cups clinking, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators present beca quite familiar with each other.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard besides your skills in Spirit Plant cultivation and Alchemy, your combat is quite sharp too. Won’t you reconsider joining our 72 Islanders Loose Alliance?" Mun Yuanshan toasted Qin Ming, subtly inquiring.

"Given your current cultivation and reputation, Fellow Daoist Qin, Alliance Leader Huoo and others would surely offer you a decent position."

Qin Ming sipped his Spirit Wine and replied frankly, "I’m used to being free-spirited, not interested."

After three rounds of wine.

The crowd bid farewell to Xue Zhili and departed.

Xue Zhili promised to keep in contact more often for similar exchange etings among fellow cultivators to et future needs.

Qin Ming left Cloud Villa and bid farewell to Guu Qingzhao before setting out back to Wangyue Island.

This ti, he gained abundantly, accomplishing his main objectives.

Qin Ming was riding his Spiritual Light Shuttle, heading towards the Spirit Nest Islands.

Suddenly.

His powerful Divine Thought detected, a mile away, three cultivators engaged in conversation.

They were Mun Yuanshan, Miao Renke, and Gul Huai.

His strong Divine Thought easily penetrated the soundproof restriction the three had set up.

’What are these three gathering for?’ Qin Ming wondered.

However, he had no interest in probing into these people’s secrets, intending to detour.

Just as Qin Ming was about to turn and change direction to leave.

He heard Mun Yuanshan respectfully say to the green-robed elder Gul Huai, "Please rest assured, Upper Envoy Gul, the 72 Islanders Loose Alliance’s movents are fully under control. Huoo Qianqiu and the others, with support from the Thunder Origin Sect, are preparing to take action imminently. This is their detailed plan, please review it, Upper Envoy Gul."

Gul Huai took the jade scroll, used his Divine Thought to look through its contents, frowned deeply, and said hoarsely, "Hmm... it’s a bit tricky... I didn’t expect the Loose Alliance to rally and mobilize such a large force at once. I must quickly notify the Zhao Family so they can respond promptly."

"You have done well. When our Spirit Feather Sect unites the Wei Country’s Cultivation Realm, you two families will surely have a place."

Miao Renke showed joy, imdiately bowing and saying, "The Thunder Origin Sect’s destiny has ended, Yuwen Ancestor’s might is unparalleled. Unification of the Wei Country is inevitable."

Gul Huai nodded in satisfaction.

"Damn! An undercover operation?!" Qin Ming was taken aback.

Gul Huai turned out to be an Elder of the Spirit Feather Sect, with seemingly high status too.

At that mont.

An unsettling premonition arose in Qin Ming’s heart.

The space around Mun Yuanshan and the others distorted, rippling like water currents, and several figures appeared out of nowhere.

Four black-robed cultivators, all wearing masks, appeared on the hillock near the three of them.

All of them had Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivation, with two even at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt.

Behind the four black-robed cultivators, a tall figure gradually appeared, wearing a Buddha Mask.

The terrifying mana fluctuations of a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt were unmistakable.

Qin Ming instantly felt his scalp tingle upon seeing this person.

It was none other than his old acquaintance, Lin Zixiao!

"Hahahahaha! Big brother! I heard the Vast Sea Immortal City held a grand auction."

"Spending three days here wasn’t in vain indeed!"

"Caught three big fish!"

Lin Zixiao let out a cold smile, "Hmph hmph! It should be four, to be precise."

"Huh? There’s another one?" The black-robed cultivator wearing a pig-headed mask asked in confusion.

Imdiately, he expanded his Divine Thought to scan the distance, and Qin Ming instantly felt a Divine Thought sweep over him.

His heart skipped a beat.

Without hesitation, he stowed away the Spiritual Light Shuttle and exerted all his strength to perform an Escape Technique, fleeing in the opposite direction.

"Heh heh! Just an early-stage Foundation Establishnt, leave it to to handle." The pig-headed mask cultivator said and then perford an Escape Technique, quickly pursuing in the direction Qin Ming fled.

Lin Zixiao instructed, "Go and return quickly, I feel sowhat familiar with the aura on that person, be careful."

"Understood!"

Lin Zixiao finished speaking, his gaze, as if looking at dead people, fell upon Mun Yuanshan and his two companions, and he said in an emotionless tone, "Are you three going to commit suicide on the spot, or do I need to handle it myself?"

The expressions of Mun Yuanshan and his two companions were extrely grim.

They never expected a group of Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators to hide right under their noses.

"Your Excellency has quite the excellent Concealnt Array. I presu you must be the recently renowned demonic hero, Lin Zixiao?" Gul Huai spoke, and his green Dharma Robe surged as his mana surged to the late-stage Foundation Establishnt before stopping.

Mun Yuanshan and Miao Renke felt slightly relieved seeing Gul Huai reveal his true strength.

They were also quite confident in their own abilities, and with Gul Huai at late-stage Foundation Establishnt, they still had the power to fight.

Miao Renke gestured with his hand, and two Giant Wolf Puppets appeared in front of him, radiating the aura of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.

Lin Zixiao’s gaze bypassed the late-stage Foundation Establishnt Gul Huai and instead fell on the two puppet wolves, exclaiming, "Oh? It’s actually a High-Tier Puppet Technique?"

"Very good! I just happen to be preparing to study the Puppet Dao."

Just as Lin Zixiao finished speaking, three black spikes emitting black smoke silently appeared behind him, aid directly at the back of his head.

Just when Gul Huai thought he was about to succeed, Lin Zixiao’s figure suddenly twisted and disappeared without a trace.

"Playing this trick with , you’re still a bit inexperienced."

Having said that, Lin Zixiao raised his hand and flicked it.

A set of golden Array Flags were thrown out by him, flying in different directions in the air.

Buzz~

A golden cage appeared out of thin air, enveloping everything within hundreds of feet.

"A Tier Two Top-Grade Trapping Array! The Golden Light Cage Array!" Gul Huai’s face turned extrely grim.

"Heh heh heh! Quite knowledgeable!" Lin Zixiao, surrounded by demonic aura, seed like a demon god descended upon the world.

Mun Yuanshan and Miao Renke were also on high alert; after all, this group was not ordinary bandits.

Swish swish swish!

The remaining three black-robed cultivators unleashed their Demon Techniques, charging straight at the two of them.

Lin Zixiao also made his move, with Black Gang Demon Fla surging wildly, engaging in battle with Gul Huai.

...

On the other side, Qin Ming, while accelerating, perford an Escape Technique and expanded his Divine Thought backward, discovering that only a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt black-robed cultivator was pursuing.

But no matter how he tried to shake him off, the pursuer seed to always find a way to lock onto his fleeing direction, relentlessly tailing him.

"Heh heh heh! You’ve been hit by my Spirit Yin Technique, still want to run?" The pig-headed mask black-robed cultivator sneered sinisterly.

Qin Ming’s expression was uncertain. If he remained entangled like this, once Lin Zixiao finished with Mun Yuanshan’s trio and ca for support, it would be his end.

Imdiately his eyes turned cold, and he made a decisive decision.

He patted his storage pouch, and the Cyan Simurgh Sword appeared before him, his hands forming the Cyan Nether Sword Technique.

Swoosh!

More than ten streaks of several-ter-long cyan Sword Qi, glowing with a cold light, slashed towards the black-robed cultivator behind him.

The black-robed cultivator, seeing the powerful Sword Qi approaching, dared not be overly confident. He reached into the void, and a pitch-black chain Spiritual Artifact appeared in his hand.

Swish!

In a flash of lightning!

He swung the pitch-black chain, with demonic aura surging, fiercely stirring the Cyan Nether Sword Qi sent by Qin Ming.

The black chain ford a black vortex, enveloped in black aura.

The cyan Sword Qi that was about to slash him was drawn into it, crumbling to pieces.

Clang!

The Sword Qi was awe-inspiring, a point of cyan light erged!

One Sword Qi still managed to pierce through the defense of the black chain Spiritual Artifact, aiming straight for the black-robed cultivator’s face!

That cyan glow was the body of the Cyan Simurgh Sword!

"A Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact!"

The black-robed cultivator was shocked; he quickly used a Body Technique to dodge this sword.

Slash!

The black-robed cultivator barely dodged this terrifying sword, but his right shoulder was still sliced by the Cyan Nether Sword Qi, imdiately splattering blood.

The pig-headed mask on his face was also slashed apart by the Sword Qi, revealing a plump and sinister face.

The black-robed cultivator was nearly thrown off by the surprise of that sword, luckily his reaction was tily, or else his head would have been severed.

He couldn’t help but put aside his underestimation and focused with utmost concentration.

But when he gathered his thoughts and looked ahead again,

to his astonishnt, he discovered Qin Ming’s figure vanished into thin air.

The black-robed cultivator instinctively coiled the black chain Spiritual Artifact around himself for protection.

He then quickly looked upward.

A blood-red figure, radiating terrifying Qi Blood fluctuations, suddenly appeared above him.

The blood shadow swung a crimson fist glow, smashing down fiercely!
