To be honest, Supreme Elder Ao’s decision to make such a grave move is thanks entirely to you, Qin Daoist—haha.” Wei Wuyang dropped a bombshell, then gave a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was utterly stunned by this revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for you warning the League’s Lord Li on Qianye Island, that third-rank demonic vine might soon give birth to a new demonic seed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After your words reached our sect—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Several of our second-rank spiritual plant masters reviewed historical records on third-rank spiritual plants, cross-referenced with intelligence gathered by Lord Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final conclusion matched your assessment exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the birth of the demonic seed will occur within the next five years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we fail to act promptly, the consequences will be unimaginable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faced with this emergency, Old Ancestor Ao made this decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming suddenly understood, exclaiming: “So Old Ancestor Ao plans to personally eliminate that demonic vine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Not just Old Ancestor Ao—Yuwen the Supreme Elder of Lingyu Gate and Nalan the True Person of Canghai Immortal City have also reached consensus. The three Golden Core True Persons of Wei State have agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They will temporarily set aside sectarian rivalries and join forces to eradicate this grave threat within Wei State’s cultivation realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be frank with you, Qin Daoist, Old Ancestor Ao seeks the Soul-Returning Pill because his lifespan is nearly spent—this battle, win or lose, he has already accepted death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally, it would be best to utterly annihilate this demon and remove the threat forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ming could not help but feel a flicker of respect for this living relic of Wei State’s cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Wei Wuyang would reveal such a secret to him also proved his recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, once the great battle begins, this will no longer be a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ah! Other sects’ Supreme Elders are going to fight demons to the death.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I refuse, it would seem terribly uncouth.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Besides, I can name any conditions to Lei Yuanzong.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm, I can use this chance to gather the spiritual materials I lack.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More importantly, Wei Wuyang, Lei Yuanzong’s Golden Core seed, will owe me a substantial favor.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘And the alchemical materials are already ready.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘After weighing everything—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s not entirely unacceptable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Still, after reviewing that pill formula, this pill is just one step away from reaching third-rank level.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘And several key refining points are beyond even my understanding—truly challenging.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Also, Wangyue Island lies within the spiritual energy Archipelago, close to Qianye Island—if the third-rank Blood Curse Demon Vine grows stronger and the demonic seed spreads, I might have to flee myself.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If the three True Persons can eliminate this demon in one strike, that would be ideal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s thoughts raced, and he had already made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Since Wei Daoist trusts Qin Mou so fully, I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To refine the pill for Old Ancestor Ao is an honor for Qin Mou, and also a contribution to Wei State’s cultivation world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming spoke with solemn determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Ming agree so readily, Wei Wuyang’s face lit up. He immediately raised his teacup: “Qin Daoist, your righteousness is extraordinary. Wei State’s cultivation world is truly fortunate to have a master like you, virtuous and skilled. I toast you with tea.” “Wei Daoist, you’re too kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After both drank, Qin Ming wiped his mouth and got straight to the point: “By the way, Wei Daoist, as a condition for refining the pill, I require several spiritual materials: Seven-Leaf Dark Spirit Fungus, Red Jade Crystal Sand, Phoenix-Perched Spirit Herb, and Cold Marrow Precious Flower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming rattled off a long list of rare spiritual materials until his mouth went dry, then paused to sip some spiritual tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuyang was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ming’s next words stunned even this senior disciple of Lei Yuanzong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lastly, Qin Mou also needs fifty pieces of—no, thirty will do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty pieces of high-grade spirit stones will suffice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei Daoist, what do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuyang snapped back to reality, his face twitching as he forced a smile: “Qin Daoist, I can agree to those earlier spiritual materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I cannot grant you so many high-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At most, five.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded calmly: “Five is fine. Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reply was swift and decisive, without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected Wei Wuyang to agree to such an outrageous demand—five high-grade spirit stones already far exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuyang handed Qin Ming a bag containing the spiritual materials needed to refine the Soul-Returning Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But moments later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei Daoist, something’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is there only one set of materials for refining the Soul-Returning Pill?” Qin Ming opened the package and stared in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuyang’s expression turned awkward as he explained uneasily: “Originally there were over a dozen sets—but Elder Yan accidentally failed all of them, leaving only this final set.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if Qin Daoist fails to refine the pill from this one set, our sect cannot gather another within a short time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So Elder Yan failed over a dozen sets of materials—not just over a dozen attempts?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Lei Yuanzong must have been truly desperate to turn to me last?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Wei Wuyang had only recently learned that Jingxue Pavilion in Canghai Immortal City had auctioned off second-rank upper-grade elixirs and Foundation Establishment Pills, which led him to think of Qin Ming, their close partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Daoist, don’t feel pressured. Whether you succeed or fail, I owe you a favor,” Wei Wuyang said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming then stored the materials in his storage bag and asked: “Alright, when exactly will you need this pill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quantity of this single set was enough for over a dozen refining attempts—he wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As soon as possible. Let’s say within one year—what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, acceptable,” Qin Ming replied after a moment’s thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the time comes, regardless of the outcome, send someone to the core district of Canghai Immortal City and find our Lei Yuanzong’s ‘Linglong Pavilion’ to deliver the message,” Wei Wuyang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded, then suddenly remembered something and hesitated before asking: “Wei Daoist, forgive my boldness—what if Old Ancestor Ao of your sect takes the Soul-Returning Pill? What then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! Qin Daoist is worried about Lei Yuanzong’s future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, once I return, I will enter a death-sealed meditation to break through to the Golden Core realm,” Wei Wuyang said, radiating powerful confidence—his will seemed to reach its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, filled with envy, said: “Then I wish you success in achieving Golden Core, and eternal immortality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finalizing their agreement,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wuyang and his party departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gazed deeply at the magic vessel vanishing into the distant horizon, thinking to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I’ll have to ask Su Dadan for answers again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.217Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e5fb708d98fea5357ace1b7b8589cb0f1658d138e5df3a1dd62a30a8a968f971","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-225","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-223",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
