Hum! Hum! As the final essence flowed in, the Blood Pagoda in midair erupted in crimson radiance, blazing with demonic light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming seized the moment, forming hand seals and drawing talismans in the air, one intricate rune after another sinking into the blood-colored inkstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final rune settled into place,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of the Blood Pagoda surged upward, climbing until it reached a critical threshold—where it then stalled for over half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a thin sheet of paper had been pierced, the ultimate treasure of the demonic sect’s heir underwent a complete transformation, ascending into a fourth-rank spiritual treasure! A grand aura reverberated through heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson demonic light blazed across the inkstone, radiating a terrifying spiritual treasure aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly! The newly upgraded Blood Pagoda shuddered violently, erupting a torrent of blood-forged demonic light—and tore itself free from Qin Ming’s spiritual control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It instinctively sought to flee beyond the Small Spirit Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected that after ascending to fourth-rank, this treasure would develop a sliver of autonomous sentience!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be tied to the nurturing of my life-spirit plant, Yin-Yang Mystic Vine—no ordinary fourth-rank spiritual treasure is known to awaken such self-awareness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was stunned; if it escaped successfully, this would be a total disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to chase after it when a black whip descended from the sky, snapping with a sharp “Crack!” and striking the fleeing Blood Pagoda down to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Pagoda spiritual treasure instantly became utterly docile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming recognized the whip—it was a tendril of his life-spirit plant, Yin-Yang Mystic Vine. One strike had knocked the Blood Pagoda to the ground, trembling with unmistakable fear. Qin Ming’s gaze flickered; this spiritual treasure must obey him from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the wooden box lying nearby, Qingyang Laomo’s voice echoed again: “Young Master Qin, I am willing to become the spirit within this demonic treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What do you mean?” Qin Ming frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To voluntarily become a treasure’s spirit—Qin Ming had never encountered such a thing; it was almost certainly deceitful or self-serving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old devil, consider carefully why I forged and upgraded this Blood Pagoda,” Qin Ming said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo let out a bitter laugh: “Of course I know—you forged this treasure to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and withstand the heavenly tribulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why volunteer to be its spirit? Aren’t you afraid you’ll be utterly obliterated during the tribulation?” Qin Ming asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo replied: “Do I have any other choice? Since you refuse to trust me, I can only take this desperate step to show my sincerity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only hope that, should you one day fully establish your Nascent Soul, you will help me restore my spiritual form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And when you face your tribulation, I will give my all.” “Moreover, to dispel your doubts, I am willing to surrender a strand of my life-spirit soul to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo had been driven to this desperate act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined this boy’s temperament differed entirely from Lin Zi’s—utterly impervious to persuasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what opportunities or secret methods he offered, Qin Ming ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy had no use for him at all—this couldn’t continue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo felt he wouldn’t die at Qin Ming’s hands, but would perish first at the hands of that rat demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For two years, that stinking rat had tormented him relentlessly, urinating on his head daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had the ancient powerhouse of Qingyuan Sect ever endured such treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could bear it no longer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Qingyang Laomo’s primary motive was Qin Ming’s potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his vast experience, he was certain a figure like Qin Ming could never perish in a Nascent Soul tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, he dared to gamble everything, surrendering his very existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single gamble—perhaps he could regain his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Qingyang Laomo speak thus, Qin Ming nodded: “Very well. Let me see your sincerity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his finger, lifting the seal on the wooden box and releasing Qingyang Laomo’s spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he emerged, Qingyang Laomo closed his eyes and drew a deep breath of fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh! Even this old devil must now throw himself into the game!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a ruthless man—without hesitation, amid agonized screams, he tore off a strand of his life-spirit soul and handed it to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this moment on, his life and death rested entirely in Qin Ming’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded, sealing the strand of soul within a spirit jade and storing it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Your future conduct will determine everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo, his aura dimmed, replied: “Of course. But you must honor our agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally. Haven’t you heard? My reputation is my hallmark,” Qin Ming declared without doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh! Then that’s best of all,” Qingyang Laomo replied with a half-skeptical chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Qin, I’m ready. I’m entering now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo transformed into a streak of spiritual light and instantly merged into the Blood Pagoda spiritual treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming seized the moment, activating the treasure-forging incantation and casting a series of intricate runes into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Laomo took control of the demonic treasure and completely erased the wild, untamed sentience it had spontaneously developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Qin Ming’s further cultivation and refinement, he became the spirit within this fourth-rank spiritual treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the Blood Pagoda’s rank neared the upper tier of fourth-rank spiritual treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure’s former defiance vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming gestured with one hand—the Blood Pagoda flew into his grasp, obedient as an extension of his own limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this spiritual treasure, my chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm have greatly increased!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1228,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.817Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5b479b59ac1f682f660c8b007bd9fc8f699a46c27fcab5e9f934dc835e2ef0e4","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-642","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-640",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
