This—」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Why did he suddenly withdraw?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What is Zhao Chanzhen up to?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators present were all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhao Chanzhen strode out of the arena, face dark, not even glancing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Foundation Establishment elders from the Zhao family approached, frowning: «Chanzhen, what exactly happened?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Fuck! That kid has Yin Thunder Substances!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the two Foundation Establishment elders could no longer remain composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—even if they themselves, as Foundation Establishment cultivators, faced such a thing, they’d either die or be stripped to the bone. Their gaze toward Qin Ming now held a faint, almost imperceptible trace of wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«How could he have Yin Thunder Substances? Isn’t that a restricted resource of the Mirror Snow Pavilion?» The two elders looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«It’s too late now—the duel rules never forbade its use.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhao Chanzhen turned back and gave Qin Ming a long, deep look before swiftly leaving with the Zhao clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuanqing also looked surprised; he stepped forward with a smile and said to Qin Ming: «Congratulations, Young Master Qin, you’ve won and now hold rights to the Spirit Island!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected to be able to curb the Zhao family’s arrogance so effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their conduct had been far too domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming paid fifteen thousand spirit stones and signed the spirit contract presented by Li Yuanqing, bearing the magical seals of the Seventy-Two Scatter Alliance and the Zhao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This signified that the Spirit Island now belonged entirely to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Scatter Alliance completed registration, they asked Qin Ming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Young Master Qin, now that this Spirit Island is yours, what name will you give it?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming paused briefly, then replied: «Since it lies on the Moon-Watching Lake, call it ‘Moon-Watching Island.’»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The registrar smiled and recorded the island’s new name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ownership settled, the bidding concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who came for the spectacle were disappointed and quickly departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many itinerant cultivators approached Qin Ming to offer congratulations and make contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming exchanged polite pleasantries with them, then saw them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone had left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Congratulations, Young Master Qin, on becoming Lord of Moon-Watching Island!» Wu Jiang walked over with a grin, bowing respectfully. «I sincerely congratulate you.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined that the random cultivator he met aboard the spirit vessel had risen to become an island lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island’s spiritual vein even surpassed that of his own family’s in quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, in good spirits, smiled lightly: «Thanks to the information you provided, Wu Dao You .»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Heh, nothing much—I never expected you to be so powerful that even Zhao Chanzhen had to yield.» Wu Jiang spoke with genuine admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes darted as he thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«By the way, Young Master Qin, now that you’ve secured Moon-Watching Island, what are your plans next?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«For instance—building a cultivation cave and opening spirit fields.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming guessed his intent and smoothly replied: «Do you have time, Wu Dao You ? I need someone to build a cave on the island—if you know any skilled people, I’d appreciate your help.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«And of course, your labor fee won’t be forgotten.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang’s eyes lit up with delight; he patted his chest: «Young Master Qin, rest assured—I’ll handle everything.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«I know plenty of skilled craftsmen—they’ll satisfy you completely!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Though… the initial purchase of construction materials requires some spirit stones—I’m just wondering—» Wu Jiang scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming asked: «How many spirit stones?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«About five hundred—I’ll refund any excess or cover any shortfall!» Wu Jiang held up five fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately took five hundred spirit stones from his storage pouch and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accepting the task,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang hurried off to organize workers. Qin Ming, having thought it through, decided that since he intended to settle here long-term to cultivate his life-spirit plants and practice the Ancient Wood Immortality Art,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might as well properly repair the island’s cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had other preparations to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His immediate priority was to purchase a level-two defensive array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he needed to buy spirit seeds and seedlings of the spirit plants he planned to cultivate: spirit rice, purple-gold bamboo, and Spirit-Summoning Tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming thoroughly surveyed the Spirit Island’s environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already decided which spirit plants to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to find a secret method to subjugate and refine a heavenly spirit flame—to tame and assimilate the blue flame he’d obtained from the ancient ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he no longer had access to earth fire or a pill-refining chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How he would refine pills in the future remained a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could subjugate and refine that second-rank heavenly spirit flame, his progress in pill refinement would greatly advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even break through to second-rank Pill Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he reached the peak of Qi Refining, if he couldn’t acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could try gathering materials to refine one himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Foundation Establishment Pill formula wasn’t hard to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as far as he knew, there was more than one such formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty lay in sourcing the main ingredients and rare auxiliary materials—monopolized by major sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itinerant cultivators struggled to gather them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a strategic resource as the Foundation Establishment Pill would never be easily released by sects or clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Canghai Xiancheng, Foundation Establishment Pills occasionally appeared at major auctions, fiercely contested by powerful factions—hard to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one succeeded in bidding, it was far too conspicuous under everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether one could escape safely afterward remained a major concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year ago, Qin Ming had asked Gu Qingzhao about Foundation Establishment Pills and learned she couldn’t provide one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Foundation Establishment Pill she used had been directly granted by the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming rode his Spirit Light Shuttle back to the Tianhe Bazaar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bazaar also housed a Mirror Snow Pavilion branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into a shop with a simple, ancient design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the others, it had nine floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged female cultivator, plump and composed, greeted him with a professional smile: «Welcome, Dao You . Are you here to dine or purchase cultivation resources?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded and got straight to the point: «I wish to purchase a level-two defensive array, and a batch of level-two spirit plant seeds.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Specifically: Spirit-Residing Rice, Purple-Gold Bamboo, and Spirit-Summoning Tea.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was startled, then calmed—anyone asking for level-two seeds must be a level-two spirit cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately led Qin Ming respectfully to a private room on the fourth floor and asked: «May I ask your surname, Dao You ? Do you hold Guibin  status with our Pavilion?»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«I am Qin.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«I’m afraid, Young Master Qin, that resources above level-two require approval from higher-ups.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately pulled out the honorary guest-consultant token given to him by Gu Qingzhao and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman examined the jade token, her expression turning solemn: «Ah! You are Guest-Consultant Qin—my apologies for the oversight!»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«As an honorary guest-consultant of our Pavilion, there is no issue—all resources will be prioritized for you.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Though—»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«We can procure the seedlings of Spirit-Summoning Tea and Purple-Gold Bamboo.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«But as for Spirit-Residing Rice seeds… the upper echelons haven’t had stock for a long time.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1213,"2026-06-20T20:44:51.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a9e15dd7df50c2d39558b81fa203710968ac0fd516b5397e1d3f294c8e70e89","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-124","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-122",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
