Hehehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw you were in seclusion lately, so I didn’t dare disturb you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you’ve emerged, I came straight to share this good news!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang’s tone dripped with smug pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Mu Ruyin’s sweet face now carried the gentle grace of motherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, smiling, and bowed gracefully to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s expression remained calm, but his heart churned with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Damn, this guy’s really something!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘One shot, and twins? Boy and girl?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately took the infant from Wu Jiang’s arms and probed its root constitution with his spiritual sense—his astonishment deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Water-wood elemental root!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took the girl from Mu Ruyin’s arms and examined her as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Triple elemental root—wood, fire, earth—but she possesses the Gui Water Spiritual Body!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming fell silent for a long while. Had he really stumbled upon such improbable odds? A pure elemental root was top-tier talent even in a major sect—reserved for elite cultivation, prioritized for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming recalled his own inferior four-element pseudo-root, and a pang of bitterness rose in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Sigh, the gap is staggering.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Comparing oneself to others only breeds despair.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Thankfully, I have the Life-Vine—and my artificial spiritual body is nearly complete.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was genuinely pleased for Wu Jiang and Mu Ruyin, and immediately pulled a pair of spiritual jade pendants from his storage pouch to gift them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spiritual jade pendants had a calming, spirit-soothing effect—rare and valuable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, these two children were both born on Moon-Watching Island, and we haven’t named them yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the island master—could you please give them names?” Wu Jiang said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s forehead twitched. He had zero talent for naming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Wu Jiang’s joy, he didn’t want to dampen his spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, he said seriously: “Then let the girl be named Wu Wangyue, and the boy Wu Wangfeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang and Mu Ruyin exchanged glances, then turned to Qin Ming with delighted thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These names are perfect—they carry meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming waved dismissively. “No need to thank me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past two years, Wu Jiang had worked diligently farming on Moon-Watching Island, advancing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now skillfully cultivate Golden Spirit Rice and had reached intermediate level in the Spirit Rain Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had observed all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never guided Wu Jiang directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging pleasantries and congratulations, Qin Ming said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Wu, I must travel to Canghai Xiancheng. While I’m away, I’ll rely on you to watch over the spirit island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang nodded. “Brother Qin, rest assured—I’ll keep an eye on everything here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One and a half days later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming soared through the sky at top speed, riding his Spirit Light Glider toward the southwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast, majestic city, backed by the Beast Roar Mountains, grew steadily larger in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hermit-sage sanctuary: Canghai Xiancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the entire city radiated multicolored auroras, thick with immortal aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Canghai Xiancheng, an aerial prohibition array forbade flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canghai Xiancheng was built along the slopes of the third-rank spirit vein, Canghai Peak, its concentric walls spreading outward in layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its center stood Canghai Peak, home to a high-grade third-rank spirit vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the exclusive domain of Golden Core True Persons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the city gates, a constant stream of cultivators flowed in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the surrounding skies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators of all kinds flew on magical artifacts, rode spirit beasts, or rode in spirit carriages—light trails streaked across the air, the sound of breaking space never ceasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a dazzling, fantastical realm of immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming landed before the gate and patiently queued behind the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the central region—the towering, boundless Canghai Peak—and an overwhelming pressure instantly pressed upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Canghai Xiancheng was shielded by a third-rank prohibition grand array, emitting a faint blue ripple, countless talismanic characters flickering and vanishing within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This third-rank array, centered on the high-grade Canghai Peak spirit vein, fused with heaven and earth, forming its own self-contained realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An array of this scale, covering an entire city, could defend a major sect, wielding mysterious and unfathomable powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, the art of arrays underwent a qualitative leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the resources required to sustain it far surpassed those of ordinary arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two incense sticks later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming followed the crowd to the towering city gate, registered his identity, paid spirit stones, and received an identity plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His background was clean—he was no fugitive or demonic cultivator—so entry was smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming walked into the outermost zone of Canghai Xiancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even here, in the outer city, the dense network of shops and streets surpassed ordinary market towns in prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This zone featured a high-grade first-rank spirit vein—better than the spirit veins of many islands in the Spirit Dwelling Archipelago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most establishments here were inns, relay stations, and small shops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residents were primarily low-rank hermit cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his map, Qin Ming reached the inner city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner city’s spirit vein ranged from low-grade to high-grade second-rank, depending on the district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who resided here were mostly major trading houses, upscale residential zones, auction halls—key institutions clustered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the very center, Canghai Peak, only a few areas were open to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming walked along the inner city’s main avenue, turning corners until he reached a core district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second-rank spirit vein here was even stronger than that of his Moon-Watching Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luxurious shops stood shoulder to shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingxue Pavilion was a major force within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had mentioned its location was in the inner city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the directions, Qin Ming arrived before a familiar nine-story building, its massive sign reading: “Jingxue Pavilion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the entrance of Jingxue Pavilion was unusually grandly decorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, Qin Ming saw a graceful woman in plain robes stepping out to greet him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, Brother Qin, to Canghai Xiancheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1192,"2026-06-20T20:44:51.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
