Longevity: Start Farming with Entries Chapter 352 - 331: First Arrival in Great Jin
After a mont of dizziness, as if the world was spinning.
Qin Ming’s eyes suddenly brightened, and when he reopened them, he found himself within an Array inside a cave.
He had traveled a long distance through the Interdiate Teleportation Array, yet with his mid-stage True Core body refining cultivation, he felt no discomfort.
In contrast, the few behind him were wobbling unsteadily as if they were drunk, including the three people with Han Yuan.
It took them half a cup of tea ti to recover.
For such long-distance teleportation, cultivators below the Golden Core Stage would generally experience so adverse reactions.
"Fellow Daoists, welco to the Great Jin Cultivation Realm!"
Subsequently, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a mix of red and purple, leading a team of Lihuo Palace disciples, appeared before them.
He wore a smiling expression, warmly welcoming these visiting cultivators.
"Long ti no see, Steward Liang!"
Han Yuan and his companions were evidently quite familiar with the cultivators stationed here, exchanging a few pleasantries.
Then, under the guidance of Steward Liang, they exited the cave.
Only upon reaching outside did Qin Ming realize that Lihuo Palace’s Teleportation Array was hidden within a mountain in a gorge, heavily guarded and very secretive.
"Have I finally arrived? Great Jin Cultivation Realm."
Qin Ming took a deep breath, his heart stirred with excitent, a smile playing on his lips.
He could clearly sense that the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was indeed better than that of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lu, it turns out the Mirror Snow Pavilion branch you’re heading to is not far from the ’Spirit Ruins Market,’ quite close indeed."
Han Yuan said with a chuckle.
"Oh? I see, thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for informing ," Qin Ming thanked.
"Here is a simple map of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, presented to you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Gao Feng, standing nearby, took out a pale yellow jade scroll and handed it to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming accepted the jade scroll and thanked them again. This complete map of the Great Jin, even as a simplified version, was quite a rare item.
It was generally only held by major powers, as it was quite difficult to draw.
After storing away the map, Qin Ming took the opportunity to inquire, "I heard that Lihuo Palace was previously at war with another major enemy. Although the war has ended, I wonder what the final outco was?"
"Hehehe! Didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Lu, who is far away in the Southern Wilderness, to have such well-inford news." Gao Feng seed sowhat surprised and explained to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the other side at war with Lihuo Palace was the newly promoted Nascent Soul-level power ’Divine Dao Mountain.’"
"The great battle between the two superpowers halted two years ago, and the two sides reached an agreent to cease hostilities at the ’Five Elents Mountain’ area, with non-interference policy..."
Hearing this, Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask in confusion, "This Divine Dao Mountain... is actually a newly promoted Nascent Soul-level power in Great Jin?"
"Yes, indeed. Divine Dao Mountain is located in the southern domain of Great Jin, covering a vast area. Decades ago, the Supre Elder of Divine Dao Mountain secretly succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul, which led to the ensuing great war..."
"During the decades-long war, even many Golden Core cultivators were killed or injured, and the situation escalated to the point of mutual destruction."
"Fortunately, two years ago, the high-tier cultivators on both sides initiated negotiations several tis at Five Elents Mountain and ultimately reached a ceasefire agreent," Gao Feng explained patiently.
Qin Ming’s eyes lit up, "Oh? Then I wonder how the casualties were on both sides?"
"In this battle, the number of Low-Tier Cultivator casualties is difficult to asure, and even countless famous Golden Core Masters in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm fell, it was truly brutal."
"It’s said that even Lihuo Palace’s Nascent Soul True Monarch and Divine Dao Mountain’s Nascent Soul Ancestor fought a battle, with neither gaining any advantage."
"Instead, both suffered serious internal injuries, and they are now in seclusion for healing. The injuries of such great power cultivators might not recover for decades."
"Thus, as soon as the agreent was signed, the war ended."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming secretly rejoiced, as it suited him perfectly; now, except for Nascent Soul Great Powers, no one could truly threaten him.
However, he still had many questions.
For instance, how did Divine Dao Mountain’s Supre Elder suddenly manage to succeed in Nascent Soul Formation?
Additionally, Divine Dao Mountain, being a newly-promoted Nascent Soul Sect, how was it able to contend with Lihuo Palace, an old-tier Nascent Soul Sect that had been entrenched in Great Jin for thousands of years, and not fall behind?
The foundational difference is vast, there must be so hidden details.
Moreover, why did the two sects suddenly go to war without warning, and what was the trigger?
However, these are high-level intelligence matters in the Cultivation Realm, which Han Yuan and these Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators are likely unable to access.
Qin Ming planned to find an opportunity to gather this information thoroughly, as it concerned his future safety in Great Jin.
Having early access to intelligence that others are unaware of is incredibly helpful for assessing situations.
After all, Qin Ming is cautious and ticulous; if he senses anything amiss, he is prepared to flee at any mont...
’Fortunately, here in the Great Jin, I stand as a peace envoy of the Cultivation Realm.’
’The peace and stability between the two factions should be maintained for a long ti.’
Qin Ming thought to himself, as he flew outside the valley with the three of them.
However, halfway through.
When he opened the map jade slip, he was stunned.
The position where Qin Ming and the others were currently located was in the southern domain of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, not particularly far from the Five Elents Mountain.
It’s only half a month’s journey.
Moreover, the alias identity of Shopkeeper Lu arranged by Guu Qingzhao for Qin Ming, has its destination at the ’Spirit Ruins Market,’ not far from here.
To avoid attracting attention, Qin Ming planned to use this alias to gather information for a while, adapting to local customs, to familiarize himself with this patch of the Cultivation Realm, and then make specific plans.
Otherwise, if Shopkeeper Lu mysteriously disappeared just upon arriving in Great Jin, such unusual actions might draw the attention of those with ulterior motives.
’Since even a sect like Divine Dao Mountain has the chance to secretly form a Nascent Soul, it shows that within the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, there are still ample opportunities for Nascent Soul Formation.’
...
Two days later.
Spirit Ruins Market, Wind-Riding Tower.
In the restaurant on the first floor, Qin Ming and Han Yuan’s trio raised their glasses and feasted, ordering a large table full of good wine and dishes to host Qin Ming.
"As a newcor, Lu appreciates the care from the three of you, I offer a toast." With that, Qin Ming raised his glass and drank it down in one go.
Han Yuan and the other three smiled in unison, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu is straightforward, resonates with our temperants, and we felt an instant connection, eting late only by chance."
"Consider this feast as our way to welco you to Great Jin, hahaha!"
Han Yuan, Gao Feng, and Liuu Ye all raised their glasses and drank their Spirit Wine to the bottom.
In the process of clinking glasses and changing cups, the distance between them was further reduced.
Though experienced and knowledgeable,
Qin Ming, upon first arriving at the Spirit Ruins Market, was also struck with awe.
The Spirit Ruins Market was jointly established by nearby Cultivation Sects and several other powers, located at the borderland of the southern domain, bordering the territory controlled by Divine Dao Mountain in the Southern Border.
Further south lay the boundless Beast Roar Mountain Range.
Geographically, it is considered a vital thoroughfare, with a constant stream of passing cultivators.
The Spirit Ruins Market rests on top of a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein, established for over a thousand years, and holds considerable reputation among Loose Cultivators.
Qin Ming couldn’t help but secretly marvel:
’Great Jin’s power far exceeds the Four Southern Wilderness Countries, and its rich resources are truly exceptional. Here, even a random border market is comparable to the Vast Sea Immortal City.’
