What’s going on with the Evergreen Vine today?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s steps, which had been moving away, halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Does it want me to join the search for the demonic plant?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Does the Evergreen Vine need this thing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Ming pondered this, the Evergreen Vine tattoo on his arm reacted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Very well. If that’s the case, I’ll go.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming turned and flew into the direction of Yiling Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the valley, ancient trees towered, and miasma hung thick; numerous cultivators darted through the air, scouring for traces dropped by the beast king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So many people… what’s the point of searching?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a day, cultivators from various factions and countless independents had turned Yiling Valley inside out—yet found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was examining a stream when his spiritual sense detected someone approaching—he looked up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh! Hahaha!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Qin Daoist, what are you doing here too?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Greetings, Qin Daoist!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomers were Lü Liang and his disciple, followed by over a dozen cultivators dressed in the attire of Canghai Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were likely under Lü Liang’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hehe! Lü Daoist, I’m just here to join the commotion.’ Qin Ming smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ah! Qin Daoist, don’t waste your time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’ve already sent my men to search this cursed place seven or eight times—no trace at all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’m not continuing the search. I’m preparing to return to the Immortal City to report.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded. ‘I’m about to leave too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘By the way, Qin Daoist, I’ve got good news for you!’ Lü Liang dismissed his subordinates and pulled Qin Ming aside, then cast a soundproof barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lü Liang’s demeanor, Qin Ming couldn’t help but grow curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Liang, excited, said to Qin Ming: ‘Qin Daoist, the three True Persons’ campaign against the demonic beasts was a resounding victory.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Moreover, the beast surge in the Beast Roar Mountains is likely to be quelled very soon!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high-ranking official of Canghai Immortal City, Lü Liang’s information was reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ming’s eyebrows lifted. ‘The beast surge will be quelled too?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What do you mean, Lü Daoist?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Cough! I only learned this yesterday—it’s been confined to the inner circle of the Immortal City.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s said that the states of Wei, Jin, and Wu will all receive reinforcements from Liang, to jointly purge the Beast Roar Mountains.’ Lü Liang revealed the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming asked: ‘Will Liang send reinforcements to the other three states? Has some deal been struck between them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’m not entirely sure, but I suspect it’s tied to orders from our Upper Sect.’ Lü Liang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Upper Sect?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it be the Li Huo Palace of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Precisely. After all, the Southern Wasteland’s cultivation realm falls under Li Huo Palace’s jurisdiction—they certainly wouldn’t want the entire region overrun by beastkin.’ Lü Liang analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Moreover, Liang’s Xuanxi Valley has deep ties to Li Huo Palace—only Li Huo Palace could compel Xuanxi Valley to lend aid.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Liang then prepared to return and report; after a brief chat with Qin Ming, he departed with his men. Qin Ming reflected on the information Lü Liang had shared, marveling at how capricious the cultivation world could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if the beast surge could be eradicated too, that would be best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wandered through Yiling Valley once more—still found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to search elsewhere, the familiar heat flared again on his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, it lasted longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it be… the remnant of the Blood Curse Demon Vine is still within Yiling Valley?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But why didn’t the two Jin Dan True Persons’ spiritual senses detect it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evergreen Vine on Qin Ming’s arm transmitted a message, pointing to a specific location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it be there?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately took to the air, following the route in his mind toward that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farther he flew, the more astonished he became—his Evergreen Vine seemed to precisely locate the demonic vine’s remnant, resonating across distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming arrived at the pass connecting Twin Peaks and the Beast Roar Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A watchtower stood here, normally manned by only a small squad of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qin Ming arrived, no one was on duty—the surroundings were utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sharpened his alertness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green flash shot toward Qin Ming’s back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s hairs stood on end—he instantly activated his blood qi true Gang , and a glass-like treasure armor materialized around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! The green flash struck the glass armor—inflicting no harm on Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Strong physique! Perfect—I need a slightly stronger vessel.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qin Ming’s vision appeared an old man dressed as a pass guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes glowed with a sinister, greedy gaze fixed on Qin Ming himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his forehead split open, revealing a strand of blood vine that surged toward Qin Ming without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming narrowed his eyes—he would have fled immediately if this were the full demon vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the opposing vine was clearly only a fragment, its aura fluctuating weakly at mid-second-rank, highly unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qin Ming prepared to seize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evergreen Vine tattoo on his arm spontaneously detached, dissolving into a pool of black liquid on the ground, its true form rapidly coalescing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering black vine, dozens of zhang tall, appeared abruptly before the old man possessed by the Blood Curse Demon Vine; around its tendrils floated countless intricate silver runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This… this is impossible?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘No!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remnant of the Blood Curse Demon Vine reacted with utter terror upon seeing Qin Ming’s life-spirit plant, the Evergreen Vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it had encountered something inconceivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirrrr! The Evergreen Vine’s black tendrils lashed out like tentacles, overwhelming the possessed old man’s resistance, plunging directly into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plosch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As blood sprayed, the crimson demonic vine was yanked from the old man’s body by the Evergreen Vine, offering not the slightest resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if encountering an irreplaceable delicacy, the Evergreen Vine began mercilessly devouring the demonic vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an incense stick’s time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic vine’s remnant was fully absorbed and drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter! At that moment, a pitch-black iron fragment fell from the now-empty demonic vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming reached out and seized it—upon contact, the iron fragment felt icy cold, and a faint dizziness surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately focused his spiritual sense to dispel the intrusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What is this thing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.217Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","44653a0d94bcc1edad04ca99e0b53a24ecb9c7da95afb4f2965f9040748bdc04","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-236","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-234",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
