When you come to Canghai Immortal City next time, let’s raise a cup together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Liang seemed deeply anxious; after speaking, he bowed to Qin Ming and flew off after the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his retreating figure, Qin Ming frowned, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh~ Just when one trouble fades, another arises!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately accelerated, riding the Silver-Winged Frost Bee toward Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, only his own stronghold was truly safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a stick of incense later, he returned to Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming then found Wu Jiang and told him: “Comrade Wu, though the war on the spiritual energy Archipelago has calmed, I just went out and found the situation far from optimistic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! Comrade Qin, what’s happened now?” Wu Jiang, normally as calm as a dog on a leash, grew tense at Qin Ming’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming frowned and nodded: “Just now, returning, I encountered a Foundation Establishment beast from Shouming Mountain Range wandering onto the spiritual energy Archipelago—this is no good omen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and your clan should stay on the island for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jiang’s face darkened instantly—he knew that even a single Foundation Establishment beast was a catastrophe for their Qi Refining clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only happened to spot it, and Canghai Immortal City’s defense force is already pursuing it—there won’t be major trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his distress, Qin Ming patted his shoulder: “If you’re still uneasy, you can always bring your clan to the island for temporary refuge if things turn worse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade Qin, your kindness is beyond words of thanks!” Wu Jiang replied with deep gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly left Wangyue Island to warn his clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming resumed his usual routine: cultivation, beast tending, farming, brewing, pill refining, and puppetry research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming took out the Third-Rank Low-grade Spirit-Transforming Beast Herb given to him by Canghai True Person Nanlan Xi, and the Third-Rank Low-grade Spirit Plant, Flame-Bathing Golden Lotus, he had harvested in the Plant Illusion Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Flame-Bathing Golden Lotus requires a high-grade fire vein to grow—Wangyue Island clearly can’t support it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ve mastered its cultivation method, and I possess the Time-Space Leaf term—what I lack now is only the environment; this isn’t urgent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Spirit-Transforming Beast Herb, however, is extremely delicate, demanding a high-quality spiritual vein—luckily, I have the [Regenerative Spirit Seed] and [Potent Adaptation] terms, so it can grow even on Wangyue Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m still missing one thing: a wood-element spiritual soil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where can I get it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps the Qianye Spirit Island Trade Fair might have some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming pondered this, then put away the spirit seeds and began cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Qin Ming had remained in seclusion within his cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally received a message from Long Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade Qin, the Qianye Spirit Island Trade Fair is about to begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m already outside Wangyue Island, coming to pick you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming ended his seclusion and stepped out of his cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned his two spirit pets with a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackwater Crocodile surfaced from the bottom of Wangyue Lake, shaking its head, shrinking its massive body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re coming with me this time too—double insurance,” Qin Ming patted its large head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blackwater Crocodile eagerly roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver-Winged Frost Bee also flew from its hive within the Longevity Vine to Qin Ming’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming waved his hand and stored both beasts inside his Spirit Pet Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then bid Wu Jiang farewell, opened the Mist Illusion, and left Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just exited the mist’s boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, floating in midair not far off, was a massive magic vessel, its mast bearing the emblem of Jingxue Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Yi stood at the bow, watching as a hole opened through the sky-obscuring pink mist, causing the surrounding fog to disperse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming flew out from within and landed beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the mist swiftly reformed, returning to its original state—remarkably strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade Long, thank you for waiting—let’s depart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-20T20:44:51.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","92f00766809cc34adf7f5e0f3155dd58161e953d991abf5dbc9c433661dca16d","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-187","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-185",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
