Chapter 215: Go Farm the Land for Me!

Beneath the Yin-Yang Profound Vine tree.

The Shi Tian Shu King was also utterly depressed; when it first discovered this place and saw the dazzling array of treasures and spiritual plants on the island, it felt as though it had fallen into a treasure vault, becoming so excited it was beside itself with joy.

On this island, not only did a complete third-tier mid-grade spiritual vein exist, but even the legendary rare treasure, the 'Third-Tier Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit,' was present.

As a Demon King within the Beast Roar Mountain Range, it had only heard of the fruit's fame and had never tasted it personally.

The Shi Tian Shu immediately went mad with delight and excitement, for this gave it hope of recovering to its peak cultivation!

However.

The Shi Tian Shu's sixth sense was extremely strong, and it sensed that near that Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit, there must be some formidable existence guarding it.

Rashly approaching would lead to unimaginable consequences.

Thus, the Shi Tian Shu could only set its sights first on the Five Elements Primordial Qi Spirit Peaches, planning to scheme for the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit only after recovering some of its strength.

After all, through a period of secret observation, the Shi Tian Shu had also discovered that this human youth on the island was truly extraordinary.

Not only had he planted so many legendary high-tier spiritual plants, but what made its jaw drop was that he had actually mastered the supreme cultivation technique of their demon race—the 'Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy.'

Furthermore, his strength was subtly not to be underestimated.

The duration it could maintain its invisibility divine ability was limited; if it dragged things out further, falling into the other party's hands was only a matter of time.

So, taking advantage of Qin Ming's cultivation session, it prepared to go all out and steal the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit.

But who could have known that this island actually hid a towering, massive black Profound Vine, which had even deceived it, resulting in it being caught red-handed.

'Sigh, this Great Lord truly didn't expect that this human youth wouldn't play by the rules; I originally intended to use the 'Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy' to lure him, then find a chance to escape.'

'But damn it... this kid keeps talking about searching this Great Lord's soul and killing me; his intent to kill is truly too heavy.'

'With such a terrifying demon vine, could this kid be the legendary Child of Destiny?'

'This human youth's own strength is not weak, plus he has two second-tier spiritual pets by his side; one is already at the second-tier late stage, and the other seems not far from breaking through to the second-tier late stage either.'

'Following him might actually have a promising future.'

After thinking it over, if the Shi Tian Shu hadn't felt that becoming Qin Ming's spiritual pet also held some promise, it would have preferred to die rather than submit just now... 'Hmm, now that my little life is entirely in his hands, excessive thinking is useless.'

'But how could this Great Lord be so easily manipulated?'

'Just you wait! Don't let this Great Lord get a chance to turn the tables!'

The Shi Tian Shu wore an obedient and well-behaved expression, standing before Qin Ming, yet countless thoughts were already spinning in its heart.

Qin Ming secretly sneered; did he not know what schemes this Shi Tian Shu was hatching?

However, he did not expose the other party, but instead said to it:

"First, tell me everything you know, without leaving out a single detail."

"Alright, as long as it's something Master wishes to know, I will definitely speak without reservation and exhaustively," the Shi Tian Shu hurriedly replied.

Subsequently.

The Shi Tian Shu laid out everything it knew about internal demon race affairs.

One hour later.

Qin Ming stood in place, his entire person sinking into deep thought, having learned from the Shi Tian Shu's mouth that:

Within the Beast Roar Mountain Range, besides the Green-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon, there existed several other powerful demon races.

Among the Silver Moon Sky Fox, the Horned Deer clan, and the Mountain-Splitting Giant Ape demon races, there were Demon Kings approaching the third-tier late stage; they merely lacked a slight breakthrough opportunity, and once the timing was right, third-tier late-stage semi-humanoid great demons would be born.

The situation for the human race was highly unfavorable.

"By the way, where is that 'Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy' you mentioned earlier?" Qin Ming suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the Shi Tian Shu shrank its head and answered guiltily, "A-actually, I don't know where this technique is either, but the 'Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy' can only be cultivated by demon beasts of Wang Zu bloodline; the Green-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon lineage should... have it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately flew into a rage, "So you were just planning to deceive me earlier?"

"Uh, not entirely; what Master cultivates is indeed the 'Heavenly Demon Body Refining Strategy,' that is absolutely true, this much I dare guarantee." Getting the technique from the hands of a third-tier late-stage Green-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon Demon King was something Qin Ming felt was unrealistic just thinking about it.

After a while.

The Shi Tian Shu talked on and on to Qin Ming until its mouth was dry.

It then started scheming about the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit again.

"Hee-hee! Master, look, my cultivation has fallen to the first-tier late stage, so what I can help you with is truly limited."

"Why not bestow upon me a Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit, allowing me to recover some strength so I can better serve Master?"

The Xuan Water Crocodile nearby, hearing this fellow immediately try to scheme for the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit, instantly bared its teeth at it and emitted a low growl.

In the past, the Shi Tian Shu King would never have taken a second-tier late-stage demon beast seriously.

But times were different now; a rat fallen on flat ground is bullied... the Shi Tian Shu quickly laughed awkwardly at the Xuan Creek Crocodile.

Qin Ming also said in an ill temper, "No way; I haven't even settled the score with you for stealing and eating the Spirit Peaches yet."

"Uh then, how shall we settle it?"

Qin Ming immediately took the Shennong Hoe out of his storage bag and threw it with a 'Clang!' in front of the Shi Tian Shu, commanding sternly, "You go farm the land for me! Only when you farm to my satisfaction can you come back to discuss the Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit with me."

Hearing this, the Shi Ling Shu widened its eyes, incredulously pointing a finger at its own nose, "What? You want me to farm the land?"

"Did I hear that wrong?!"

Qin Ming's tone brooked no argument, "What? You don't want to obey my orders?"

"Hee-hee! How would this humble one dare disobey Master's words; I'll go farm the fields right now."

Subsequently, Qin Ming took some spirit grain and spirit grass seeds out of his storage bag and tossed them to the Shi Ling Shu.

"Farm them well for me; if you waste the spirit seeds, I'll hold you accountable and skin you alive just the same!"

Next.

The Shi Ling Shu took the spirit seeds, picked up the Shennong Hoe, and very unwillingly began farming on the spiritual fields atop the main peak.

Under the scorching sun, the Shi Tian Shu panted heavily as it lifted the Shennong Hoe to dig the earth, sweat streaming down its back.

"To think that I, the Devouring Heaven Mouse King, with a lifetime of glorious reputation, have actually fallen to the point of farming for someone else. Truly lamentable and pitiable!"

"A dignified generation's Mouse King has been reduced to a field mouse; if word got out, I'd have no face to show anyone, wuwuwu!"

"Hmph! Human brat, remember this well for your master: today's humiliation shall be repaid double in the days to come!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

While hoeing the land, the Devouring Heaven Mouse gnashed its teeth and cursed incessantly within Qin Ming's cave dwelling.

Qin Ming watched the Devouring Heaven Mouse working hard outside to reclaim the spiritual fields, his heart filled with thoughtful reflection.

"If not for the Devouring Heaven Mouse falling into my hands, I would never have known that the beast clans in the Beast Roar Mountain Range possess such formidable strength, having developed to an unpredictable extent."

"Back when I killed the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear and accidentally escaped the Beast Roar Mountain Range without entering the territories of other beast clans, I truly was incredibly lucky."

"These are merely the beast clans revealed on the surface; according to the Devouring Heaven Mouse's confession, deep within the Beast Roar Mountain Range, there exist even other beast clans that it knows nothing about."

"In short, the waters are extremely deep."

"A Tier 3 Late Stage Great Beast King; 恐怕 only the Jin Dan Late Stage Yunxi Laozu of the Profound Stream Valley in Liang Kingdom would have the ability to contend with such a being."

Since this matter was of great importance, Qin Ming decided to inform Canghai True Person of this news as soon as possible.

However, going to deliver this warning in his own name seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Not to mention having to explain the source of the information clearly; if they followed the vine to find the melon and traced it back to the Devouring Heaven Mouse King, that would be disastrous.

He gazed at the working Devouring Heaven Mouse outside, his eyes suddenly brightening as an idea immediately formed in his heart! (End of Chapter)
