Longevity: Start Farming with Entries Chapter 182 - 176: Handling Logistics

Seeing Qin Ming had co out, an elder in gray robes from the main ship hurriedly welcod him. This elder was at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, yet he still respectfully saluted Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, the battle ahead is truly intense. Out of desperation, I must trouble you again to refine a batch of Spirit Pills."

This gray-robed elder was nad Zhou Ping, one of the newly appointed elders of the Loose Alliance.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there’s no need for such courtesy. I just happened to have recently refined several batches of Rejuvenation Pills, Recovery Pills, and Genxue Pills... I was just about to have Wu Jiang deliver them to you. I didn’t expect you to co just in ti." Qin Ming smiled slightly, patted his storage pouch, and took out dozens of bottles of pills, including combat, recovery, and life-saving types.

Zhou Ping was overjoyed upon hearing this and sincerely thanked Qin Ming: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin! For our Spirit Nest Islands to have such a virtuous and talented Alchemy Master and Spirit Plant Master like you is truly a blessing!"

"If it weren’t for you, we would have had to take a detour to Vast Sea Immortal City to get these pills, facing the threat of Demon Beasts along the way. It would have been ti-consuming and laborious, extending our supply line."

"You have no idea; so other Immortal Cities have fallen and been destroyed due to not receiving these ergency resources in ti, resulting in massacres and unimaginable tragedies!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you don’t have to be so polite. I am just providing what little help I can." Qin Ming waved his hand.

Zhou Ping put away the pills and took out a thick bag of Spirit Stones from his storage pouch, handing it to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please check if these Spirit Stones are sufficient?"

Qin Ming took the Spirit Stone Bag, felt it slightly, and with a smile, accepted it without even looking at it.

"These Spirit Stones are more than sufficient."

The people of the Loose Alliance showed real sincerity. For just this batch of pills, they gave him over two hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, equating to over twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Afterward, Zhou Ping handed Qin Ming a pile of Demon Beast blood and flesh materials, entrusting him to refine so pills when he had the ti.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have a mission. With the situation urgent ahead, I must return imdiately, so I won’t linger any longer." Zhou Ping cupped his hands and said.

"Hm..."

Suddenly!

Just as Qin Ming was about to bid farewell to Zhou Ping and the others, his Divine Thought moved! He detected in the sky ten miles away, hundreds of Demon Birds were swooping down, covering the sky, advancing toward them.

This group of Demon Beasts must have had their eyes on Zhou Ping’s fleet all along, hidden among the clouds, extrely well-concealed and hard to detect.

The leading Demon Beast had wings spreading seven to eight zhang wide, the wings shrouded in a silver electric glow; it was unmistakably a Tier Two Late Stage Thunder Roc.

"Hold your positions!" Qin Ming frowned and hastily called out to Zhou Ping and his people.

Zhou Ping was initially puzzled, but he managed a smile and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, is there sothing else?"

"Have your n prepare for battle imdiately!"

"A group of flying Demon Beasts is rushing over here, likely aiming at you." Qin Ming quickly and sternly said.

"What?" Zhou Ping was stunned.

He quickly sent out his Divine Thought to investigate but couldn’t detect even a trace of a Demon Beast.

But surely, Fellow Daoist Qin wouldn’t joke about such matters, could it be that... his Divine Thought far surpasses mine at Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt?

Though Alchemy Masters often have stronger Divine Thoughts than ordinary cultivators, he hadn’t expected Fellow Daoist Qin’s Divine Thought to be this formidable.

There was no ti for him to ponder; Zhou Ping imdiately flew back to the ship, gathering his Mana and shouting loudly, "Beast attack! It’s imminent! Prepare for battle imdiately!"

Instantly.

The cultivators on the three Dharma Ships all reacted as if facing a great enemy. Under the officers’ command, they swiftly loaded Spirit Stones into the Spiritual Energy Cannons.

The War Cultivators with higher cultivation stood at the ship’s bow, taking out their Magical Artifacts, ready to engage the Demon Beasts.

"Oh!"

Qin Ming saw their stance, unable to help but shake his head.

The cultivators on these Dharma Ships were mostly in the Qi Cultivation Stage, with only three including Zhou Ping at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, probably not even enough to serve as teeth fillers for the Tier Two Late Stage Thunder Roc...

Quickly, within less than half a cup of tea’s ti.

In the distant Celestial Vault, a densely packed horde of Demon Beasts lood, the Demon Qi soaring to the sky, like an overwhelming cloud closing in on them.

The people of the Loose Alliance paled at the view.

And when Zhou Ping realized the Thunder Roc’s presence.

His face turned ghostly pale, and his heart sank into despair.

But as a Loose Alliance Elder, he didn’t lose his composure in this critical mont, beginning to make strategic arrangents swiftly and orderly.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you should quickly retreat into the island and hide. We will handle it here." Zhou Ping urgently transmitted a ssage to Qin Ming.

In a few breaths.

The Loose Alliance’s fleet and the attacking Demon Beasts clashed, and multicolored Magic suddenly blossod in the sky over Wangyue Lake.

SQUAW!

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, and after a flash of lightning and a roar of thunder, a giant Thunder Roc, shrouded in silver electric arcs, its vast wings spreading and covering the sky, suddenly appeared over the ships.

At the sa ti.

The pressure of a Tier Two Late Stage Great Demon descended!

The Spiritual Energy Cannons from the Dharma Ships bombarded the Thunder Roc as if rely tickling it; silver arcs flickered around it as it easily warded off all these Magic attacks.

The Thunder Roc flapped its wings, unleashing countless electric arcs, hitting several Loose Alliance cultivators, who were instantly blasted into countless pieces, falling from the sky.

Its offspring let out shrill cries, swooping down swiftly to devour the blood and flesh entirely.

"Damn! It’s a Tier Two Late Stage Great Demon!"

"We’re dood!"

"!!!"

The cultivators on the Dharma Ships beca engulfed in despair, lanting helplessly.

Qin Ming knew this group from the Loose Alliance was no match for these Demon Beasts, thinking to himself: "Enough, it’s just as well I’m short on Alchemical materials; let’s use this Thunder Roc’s flesh and blood for pill refinent."

He promptly contacted the Profound Water Crocodile with a thought.

"Lazybones! Ti to work, the Thunder Roc’s Demon Pill will be yours."

ROAR!

Just when the people of the Loose Alliance were in utter despair, a trendous roar echoed through the skies.

SPLASH!

Everyone’s attention was imdiately captured, only to see a Giant Crocodile Demon Beast, twenty zhang long, burst from the depths of Wangyue Lake, causing a mighty surge and exuding an even more terrifying aura.

The Loose Alliance mbers were struck with terror, "There’s another Great Demon from below?!"

They were about to turn their cannon aim at the Profound Water Crocodile.

Qin Ming quickly stopped them, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this Profound Water Crocodile is my Spirit Pet, here to aid you."

"What?"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Everyone, halt! It’s Fellow Daoist Qin’s Spirit Pet, here to assist us."

...

The Profound Water Crocodile, with its icy, remorseless vertical pupils, focused intently on the Tier Two Late Stage Thunder Roc.

Its mouth watering uncontrollably.

Then it bellowed furiously skyward, and with a swift swing, lunged towards the Thunder Roc!
