Isn’t this the famed second-rank Spirit Qiyu rice and Rice Blossom Spirit Fish? They say one bite can boost magic power, greatly benefiting us Foundation Establishment cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wangyue True Person is truly generous—daring to serve such spirit rice to guests! Coming here to celebrate was truly worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this Yulin wine! Drinking it also enhances cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wangyue Zhenjun is truly unlike others—while most use grand ceremonies to collect gifts and grow rich, he serves us such spirit treasures. This trip was truly worthwhile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder he’s the model of our Southern Wasteland cultivation realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, can I pack up some of this spirit rice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Foundation Establishment tables, cultivators were already devouring everything—finishing the spirit rice and wine, with some even breaking through their bottlenecks on the spot, which would soon become legendary tales in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Golden Core tables, they served third-rank Yuhuang Spirit Rice, Rice Blossom Spirit Fish, and Yulin wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Golden Core True Persons from various cultivation realms rarely got to eat such high-rank spirit rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they now set aside their dignity and ate heartily, stuffing themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missing such an opportunity, who knew when another would come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey! Eat slower! Only five bowls per person—this third-rank spirit rice ripens only once every ten years, hard to grow, and extremely precious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such high-rank spirit rice was naturally rationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Devouring Sky Rat held a serving spoon, followed by two Wu family members carrying a large barrel of emerald-green Yuhuang Spirit Rice, exuding rich fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently serving meals to the Golden Core cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke, the Devouring Sky Rat’s gaze landed on one particular table, and it quickly called over the Wu family cultivators and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the table, it lowered its voice and said: “Hehe! Nalan Daoist, Gu Daoist, eat your fill—if you need more, just call me to serve you more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Golden Core cultivators: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Devouring Sky Rat served food, its eyes darted around, frequently glancing beyond Lingdao Island, as if waiting for someone’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Nascent Soul seats, Qin Ming arranged third-rank Yuhuang Spirit Rice and Demon Flame Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Demon Flame Wine I personally brewed—please taste it. It’s made from the demonic cores of late third-rank demonic beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tasting, the Nascent Soul True Persons were lost in endless aftertaste, utterly unable to describe the wine’s profound richness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly an excellent wine! I never knew Daoist Qin could brew spirit wine. Forgive my boldness—do you have any extra? I’d like to trade for a few jars.” Wanbao Zhenjun asked after finishing his sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he was the first to discern its subtle secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! Daoist Wanbao, this wine took over a decade to brew. A late Golden Core cultivator who drinks it for the first time can instantly break through their bottleneck and reach Golden Core perfection.” Qin Ming smiled and explained, “Thus, my stock is limited—I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Huo Shangren immediately set down his half-finished spirit wine, lamenting: “Huh?! This Demon Flame Wine has such a miraculous effect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For us, this is merely a matter of taste—but for our disciples, it’s an irreplaceable treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Producing even one more Golden Core perfection cultivator held immense significance for a sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Li Huo Shangren disregarded the dignity of a Nascent Soul True Person, quietly pouring his remaining half-cup of wine into a jade vial and stowing it away, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his lead, several other Nascent Soul True Persons did the same, each secretly stashing their wine in jade vials. This bizarre scene left Qin Ming speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed these people deeply cherished their disciples—even spirit wine they wouldn’t dare drink themselves, they’d take home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had no choice but to bring out two more jars of Yulin wine for them, since the gifts they’d presented were truly substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t afford to appear too stingy in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangyue Island buzzed with festive cheer, laughter and congratulations echoing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This historic Nascent Soul ceremony naturally had official historians present to record it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four Nascent Soul True Persons attended to celebrate—Wangyue Zhenjun truly has vast connections and immense prestige.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this historian cultivator was recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu! Jiu! Jiu! A long, ethereal bird cry echoed above Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All cultivators on the island turned their gazes upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone’s astonishment, three magnificent blue-feathered Qingling Phoenixes, each radiating the aura of late third-rank demonic beasts, pulled a spirit-patterned silk-canopied divine carriage into the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the carriage radiated immense power—so intense that even several Nascent Soul True Persons atop the main peak grew solemn, their expressions changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qingling Phoenix carriage halted above the main peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Qingling Phoenixes pulling a carriage—what grandeur! Which Nascent Soul True Person’s vehicle is this?” Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the airborne carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit-patterned silk canopy parted, revealing a young man in blue robes stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huo Shangren, seeing him, froze, then blurted: “Han Ya Daoist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was baffled—Han Ya Shangren’s entrance was so dazzling it overshadowed even the assembled Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren gave a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak, the silk canopy opened again, and out stepped a noble lady in palace attire, followed by a towering iron-tower giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment these two appeared, the entire Wangyue Island froze—the terrifying spiritual pressure threatened to crush and devour everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Silver Moon Tianhu Clan, Silver Moon Demon Saint, comes to offer congratulations! Congratulations to Wangyue Zhenjun on achieving Nascent Soul, advancing further on the Immortal Path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Mountain Giant Ape Clan, Gushan Demon Saint, comes to pay respects. Long admired, Wangyue Zhenjun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Han Ya Shangren, reluctantly, added softly: “Han Ya Shangren of the Great Zhou Xuanqing Temple, offers congratulations to Daoist Qin on his ascension to Nascent Soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! The crowd below erupted in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a Demon Saint of the demonic races!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are they here at Wangyue Zhenjun’s Nascent Soul ceremony?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators began trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few Nascent Soul cultivators present also noticed the two demonic beasts—but when their gazes fell upon Gushan Demon Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each instantly felt as if facing a mortal enemy, drenched in cold sweat! A fourth-rank mid-stage shape-shifting demonic beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even all of them combined wouldn’t stand a chance against him—if Gushan Demon Saint chose to slaughter here, not a single person could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huo Shangren groaned inwardly—he never imagined Han Ya Shangren, if he came at all, would bring such a colossal “surprise!” Qin Ming himself was equally confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only invited Yue Lingyan—why did Gushan Demon Saint come along too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient-blooded Demon Saint made even him feel a chill on his scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ming reconsidered—Yue Lingyan wouldn’t act without reason; there must be her purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qin Ming smiled warmly and welcomed them: “Three Daoists have traveled countless miles to come—Qin Ming is deeply honored. Please be seated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic races and human cultivators had long been at war, locked in hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human cultivators had suffered countless deaths under demonic invasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could rightly be called mortal enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the arrival of two fourth-rank Demon Saints caught everyone completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone was utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Ya the old devil, what are you playing at?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you bring back two demonic Demon Saints? This isn’t a joke—what are you doing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you betraying us and colluding with the enemy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huo Shangren secretly sent a mental message to Han Ya Shangren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Go ask Daoist Qin—he invited them, not me! Hmph!” Han Ya Shangren retorted, then turned his head away, ignoring him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huo Shangren: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron-tower Gushan Demon Saint, sensing the frozen atmosphere, raised his hand and cast a barrier, enclosing everyone within, then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to panic. I come with no ill intent. On this joyous day of Wangyue Zhenjun’s ascension, I wish to discuss with you all a joint alliance between our races to confront the descending Blood Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be frank, the demonic descent has changed—its scale has expanded. Our demonic races have suffered greatly, with several great clans already slaughtered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, as a fourth-rank mid-stage Demon Saint, surely aren’t powerless against these Blood Realm Golden Core demonic cultivators?” asked You Sha Zhenjun of the Western Desert Cultivation Realm, skeptical and dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gushan Demon Saint, unperturbed, calmly replied: “Deep within the Beast Roar Mountains, a Nascent Soul demonic lord has already descended. Soon, as the dimensional convergence expands, your Western Desert, even the Eastern Seas, Northern Cold, and Southern Wasteland cultivation realms, will all face this threat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, the Blood Realm isn’t just home to the Blood Refining Demon Sect—it harbors several Soul Transformation sects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Nascent Soul True Person present was stunned by this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nascent Soul demonic lords can descend, this is no good omen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fourth-stage mid-level demon saint would not lie about something of such grave consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s heart instantly tightened—he had already slain the Blood Refining Demon Sect’s Holy Son; if a Nascent Soul demon lord succeeded in descending, it would indeed be very troubling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the situation really deteriorated to this critical point?” asked Long Mu Zhenjun, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, none of you here can remain uninvolved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! This fellow Daoist speaks truly—had it not been for the close ties between Wangyue Zhenjun and my clan’s Silver Moon Daoist, the alliance negotiations between our two clans would have been nearly impossible, and I would not have come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words from Gushan Yaosheng, all eyes turned to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not expected that a human cultivator like Qin Ming would be acquainted with such a powerful great demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1744,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.817Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5bce5ab3318603fe9cd09c8be5d23327775f6d00cee6f132af04db85838cd3cd","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-662","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-660",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
