Elder Luo, don’t be angry—we’re all one family, all of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Luo family’s dissatisfaction, Hua Tianxiong displayed his full merchant’s cunning, weaving elaborate lies and excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce you two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Manager Lu of the Jingxue Pavilion of the Wanda Trade Alliance; everything Elder Luo seeks depends entirely on Brother Lu’s assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Luo family exchanged uneasy glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, they reluctantly followed the host’s lead and entered inside to assess the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Luo, welcome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Young Master Luo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough! Manager Lu, your courtesy is appreciated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Hua Tianxiong’s lively efforts, the atmosphere in the hall eased considerably. Qin Ming smiled and rose to greet each member of the Luo family in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when his gaze fell upon the severely wounded “Young Master Luo,” a wave of suspicion stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For he had just secretly activated the Yin-Yang Mystic Mirror technique, scanning the Luo family’s inner energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Luo Chen showed no irregularities—his body brimmed with lush green vitality, at least two hundred years of abundant lifespan remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Young Master Luo, grievously injured and traveling countless miles to seek medicine, raised serious concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary cultivators might not notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet under Qin Ming’s divine scrutiny, he saw the young man’s dantian teeming with vibrant green vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s true age was small—barely in his twenties, still possessing over a hundred years of lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man had concealed not only his cultivation level, but his true realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s actual cultivation was Foundation Establishment late stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he bore some powerful treasure that masked his spiritual power and aura—even Hua Tianxiong, a Gao Jie cultivator, detected nothing amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Qin Ming not awakened the Yin-Yang Mystic Mirror through the Wood Talisman’s origin within his flawless Jin Dan, and possessed spiritual sense rivaling a Nascent Soul elder’s,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He likely wouldn’t have noticed either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming instantly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This Luo Chen is definitely suspicious!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he secretly activated his Break-Method Reborn Eyes, silently gazing at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Luo Chen had used a secret technique to alter his appearance—his true face was that of a handsome, sharply featured youth, utterly unlike his current guise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming silently observed the man’s soul, discovering a faint wound upon it—clearly a carefully crafted illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The Luo family’s actions suggest their quest for medicine hides another purpose.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘And all the Luo family members are normal cultivators, their spiritual power pure—not demonic.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is truly strange.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere seconds of subtle manipulation, Qin Ming had uncovered the Luo family’s true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were not demonic, Qin Ming chose not to expose them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see what the Luo family intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also refrained from whispering to Hua Tianxiong, lest he reveal his awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief exchanges,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xi and Luo Chen learned from Hua Tianxiong’s account that securing Su Yuqing’s aid required the current ‘Manager Lu’s’ assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tone and demeanor immediately grew more courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Luo Xi raised his wine cup and apologized to Qin Ming: “Hehe! Old man failed to grasp the situation earlier—my apologies for any rudeness, Manager Lu, please forgive me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen feigned weakness: “Manager Lu, please be lenient!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Luo need not worry,” Qin Ming replied without revealing his thoughts. “If there’s a chance to cooperate with the Luo family, I welcome it wholeheartedly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speech and bearing perfectly matched a merchant’s demeanor, easing Elder Luo Xi’s suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming sought to probe their limits, speaking with deliberate gravity: “Lu Mou has indeed conducted business with Master Su Yuqing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But business is business, and favors are favors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I were to request Master Su to brew an elixir, it would demand a considerable price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, Young Master Luo seeks a third-rank superior-grade elixir—the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill. I’ve heard of it during my years in trade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough! As for compensation, anything is negotiable—as long as the elixir is brewed, paying a price is only natural!” Luo Chen interrupted before Elder Luo Xi could speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words radiated reckless determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This guy’s a wealthy bastard?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He doesn’t even plan to haggle—clearly desperate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming mused inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected the man’s true identity was far more complex than a mere Luo family scion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be one of the core disciples who fled with Han Ya the Immortal from the Grand Qing Sect of the Great Zhou? Qin Ming sipped his spiritual tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probed further: “In that case, I can ask Master Su to prioritize brewing the third-rank superior-grade ‘Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill’ for Young Master Luo—but the terms…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know, third-rank superior-grade elixirs are far harder to obtain than ordinary ones—even in the Great Jin cultivation realm, only a handful of elixir masters can brew them, and even then, success isn’t guaranteed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Luo surely knows Master Su’s elixir craftsmanship is unmatched in all of Great Jin—if he claims second, no one dares claim first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, securing his rare intervention will demand a steep price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, the ingredients for the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill are mostly top-tier third-rank materials—extremely costly, let alone the finished elixir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, to obtain this Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill, you’ll need at least one fourth-rank spiritual material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit stones? Master Su doesn’t lack them—even superior spirit stones may not suffice.” Hearing this, the Luo father and son froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wondered if they’d misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F-f-fourth-rank spiritual material?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Lu, are you certain? That’s the kind of material Nascent Soul True Persons hoard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And while the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill is rare, surely not worth this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Luo Xi said, embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming feigned firmness, sighing: “Alas, Elder Luo, I’m not unwilling to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But reality is reality—if you find the terms unreasonable, I’m powerless to assist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark left the Luo father and son speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Luo Xi seethed inwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell did Hua Tianxiong introduce us to? He demands a lion’s share from the start, offers zero room for negotiation—who does this kind of business? Hua Tianxiong, unaware of the stakes, frets helplessly—but even he thinks demanding fourth-rank spiritual material is outrageous! After all, such resources are controlled only by Nascent Soul sects—how could a mere Luo family possess one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even knowing this, he dared not argue with Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the atmosphere grow tense, he quickly intervened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! Business may fail, but goodwill remains!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Luo, you don’t understand—Master Su’s temperament is extremely eccentric.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every day, countless clans and sects from Great Jin’s Central Continent flock to the Longting Lake Su family seeking elixirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet only a handful ever gain an audience with Master Su.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally, a price is required.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luo father and son fell into thought, then exchanged glances—as if reaching a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Lu, is there no other way besides a fourth-rank spiritual material?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, I have no other option,” Qin Ming replied firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried regret, feigning helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh! Very well, then—we’ll seek other solutions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, Elder Luo Xi sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief pleasantries, the Luo father and son took their leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they departed, Hua Tianxiong asked, puzzled: “Master, why—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Chen is an impostor—he used secret arts to disguise his identity. He seeks the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill for another purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—they’ll come back to you eventually,” Qin Ming said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong suddenly understood. “Ah?! That old Luo dared deceive me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he thought of something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if they seek another elixir master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gave a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill is uniquely rare—a soul-healing elixir. Even beyond Great Jin’s borders, in the other two cultivation realms—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only Su Yuqing and I can brew it. No other elixir master can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It barely circulates on the market—by the time they acquire it, the opportunity will be long gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Go personally and tell Brother Su—should anyone come asking for the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill, refuse them outright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to see what tricks this Luo family father and son are up to with their sneaky behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Qin Ming had another plan—if the Luo family truly wished to exchange fourth-rank spiritual materials for the Nine Yang Soul-Continuing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t mind making the deal. This transaction was guaranteed profit; if he could secure the final main ingredient for refining the Nascent Soul Pill—the Five Element Spirit Ginseng—he could leave this place of turmoil at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe! Master is truly brilliant! Your humble servant is utterly awed—prostrate with admiration!” Hua Tianxiong grinned slyly after hearing Qin Ming’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Hua Tianxiong set off without delay to carry out Qin Ming’s instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, with nothing else to do, closed his eyes and cultivated in Hua Tianxiong’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the border between the Great Zhou Immortal Realm and the Great Li Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark demonic-patterned spiritual carriage, pulled by eight six-winged demonic bats, sped through the sky like a thunderbolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far faster than the magical ships of major sects and clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic carriage was extravagantly adorned, its curtains woven from third-rank demonic spider silk, emitting a crimson-black glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roof was crafted from the wings of rare demonic creatures, and the entire carriage seemed forged from the skeleton of a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was inlaid with demonic crystals, carved into intricate patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luxury pushed to its extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its exterior appeared merely a carriage, its interior space was vast, spanning dozens of zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its furnishings were opulent, resembling a palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet only two sat inside: the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Lan, where do you think the Cold Crow Elder fled after being struck by your Ice Soul Demon Light?” Jiang Yuan idly tossed a red fruit into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Holy Daughter sat quietly, eyes closed, cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, her crimson lips parted: “She’s surely searching for a way to heal her spiritual soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once struck by my Ice Soul Demon Light, even a Nascent Soul elder will steadily drain and corrode their Nascent Soul unless treated immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1708,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.493Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ce00e4bdd679d0e82ea46fa020db61f249c03223af6fc21864d90159fb7ccf61","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-580","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-578",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
