I should’ve realized sooner—you’re the Lu Shopkeeper! Otherwise, how could a Foundation Establishment late-stage “Lu Shopkeeper” be so close to the Silver Moon Demon Saint?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that we meet again, Qin Daofriend, and we are all fellow cultivators, it is truly moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I hope you won’t hold past matters against me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-robed youth, Han Ya Shangren, looked deeply sentimental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What past matters?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Mou and Han Ya Daofriend met like old friends, regretting we didn’t meet sooner—we’ll certainly need to stay closely connected,” Qin Ming said with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren’s face twitched; he thought inwardly: I’d better never see him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he met Qin Ming, disaster followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way Qin Ming looked at him always sent a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren had resolved: he must stay far away from this man forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, meanwhile, pondered inwardly how to cultivate goodwill with this cultivator blessed with extraordinary fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always brought good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even become a mobile treasure vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Han Ya Daofriend has urgent matters, Qin Mou won’t keep you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I originally planned to invite you to stay longer on the island, to experience the charm of the spiritual energy Archipelago.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Looks like it’ll have to wait for next time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other had no intention of lingering, Qin Ming made no further effort to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren smiled warmly and replied: “Qin Daofriend, don’t see me off—the day is short, and I must return to the Weidao Alliance to handle the demonic tribulation. We’ll meet again when fate permits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he was far away did Han Ya Shangren mutter curses: ‘This brat always drags trouble upon me. His debt of gratitude is settled—let’s never meet again. I’ve done my duty!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled out the bag of third-rank Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, weighed it in his hand, and grinned like he’d scored a bargain: ‘I hope that brat discovers the flaw in that Void Essence Stone and still stays this calm—heh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming watched Han Ya Shangren depart, then returned to Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul Ceremony had ended; the island had returned to quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the entire spiritual energy Archipelago remained bustling, as many sects and cultivators, drawn by the renown of Wangyue Zhenjun, chose to relocate their entire clans here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though most of the land here held only first-rank spirit veins, under the leadership of the Four Nations Alliance and the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance, they jointly established a grand marketplace—the Star-Moon Marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To facilitate trade between the spirit islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even attracted powers from the three neighboring kingdoms to establish outposts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merchants and wandering cultivators seeking profit flooded in by the thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, the scale of the Star-Moon Marketplace surpassed any major immortal city in the Four Nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, with several central islands as the core, bridges spanning the sea were erected, linking dozens of surrounding islets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless magnificent and dazzling structures rose from the spiritual energy Archipelago, forming a vast maritime marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Star-Moon Marketplace was jointly managed by the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance and the Four Nations Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All forces in the Southern Wastelands considered it an honor to establish a presence here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The native immortal families of the spiritual energy Archipelago rode this wave of fortune and soared to new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an influx of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some lowly Qi Refining families produced Foundation Establishment cultivators, rising to become Foundation Establishment clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment Pills were auctioned off one or two every few years within the Star-Moon Marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of Wangyue Island’s fourth-rank spirit vein, several nearby third-rank spirit branches, rich in spiritual energy, began to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the main peak of Wangyue Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s life-spirit plant, Yin-Yang Xuan Teng, thrived under the fourth-rank spirit vein—its vines lush and dense, its canopy blotting out sun and sky, silver runes swirling and shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an ancient, eternal World Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more mystical than the Seven-Miracle Treasure Tree guarding the entrance to Qingyuan Sect’s secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet only Qin Ming could see this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing his daily cultivation, Qin Ming’s magic power exuded an abyssal depth, unfathomable and immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing the Green Emperor Scripture, a vibrant, emerald vitality swirled and clung to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Echoing in harmony with his life-spirit plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his life-spirit plant’s ability, the Four Seasons Divine Light, underwent another transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he could generate seventy-two strands of Four Seasons Divine Light at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tested it—he could instantly restore life to dying spirit beasts or plants, regenerating flesh and bone, reviving them fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Wow, wow, wow—your ability is truly formidable! In all my years, I’ve never heard of such a thing! Could it work on me?’ Qingyang Lomo exclaimed in awe from within the Blood Pagoda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked eager to serve as a test subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If so, then let’s try.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ming was also curious—he activated a strand of emerald Four Seasons Divine Light and sent it into the Blood Pagoda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Qingyang Lomo’s previously dim soul-shadow grew noticeably more solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Lomo felt a surge of vital energy flood through him—he felt invigorated, utterly refreshed! “Qin Daofriend, it actually works!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More! Give me more!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he excitedly urged, Qin Ming abruptly halted the Four Seasons Divine Light and retracted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Lomo froze. “Qin Daofriend, what is the meaning of this? I once fought to the death shielding you from the heavenly tribulation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’ve bled for you, risked my life—my soul is now in your hands. What more do you doubt?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming chuckled lightly. ‘The Four Seasons Divine Light is exceedingly rare—I can only gather a few strands after long periods. Wasting them all on you is not worth it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Unless you can show me value worthy of my interest. Tell me your origins.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Qingyang Lomo fell silent, as if burdened by a secret. Then he changed his request: ‘Then let me rest for a while atop the Star-Sea Divine Vine—let my soul be nourished. Surely that’s reasonable?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded. ‘That’s acceptable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang Lomo had indeed rendered notable service during Qin Ming’s tribulation; granting him this small favor was justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Qingyang Lomo’s spirit form drifted from the Blood Pagoda and settled upon the radiant Divine Vine, sitting in meditation to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the healing effect was not as dramatic as the Four Seasons Divine Light, it slowly nourished his spirit form. Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the jade slip exchanged from Longmu Zhenjun, studying the method for cultivating fourth-rank spirit rice: Blood Serpent Green Rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If successfully grown, this spirit rice would greatly aid Qin Ming’s future Nascent Soul cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might also trigger new entries—what kind of entries would fourth-rank spirit rice yield?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Essential conditions for cultivating Blood Serpent Green Rice in its early stages: fourth-rank spirit vein environment, Qingkong Spirit Soil, Xuanhuang Essence Qi, Earthheart Spirit Spring, and several units of blood-soul essence from third-rank late-stage or higher snake-serpent-type spirit beasts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the jade slip, Qin Ming realized cultivating this mid-tier fourth-rank spirit rice was extraordinarily complex, with high difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The listed cultivation materials were certainly unavailable in the Southern Wastelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d have to seek them out beyond its borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such mid-tier fourth-rank spirit rice could not be grown on a large scale—the required materials were too scarce and restrictions too numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was even measured by individual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming then compiled a list of these items and entrusted Wei Wuyan to monitor them closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Qin Ming was now a Nascent Soul elder—he needn’t trouble himself with such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Southern Wastelands relied on his title as a Nascent Soul True Person; naturally, he deserved the proper offerings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Four Nations Alliance, a special treasure vault had been built, filled with rare treasures gathered from across the land, for Qin Ming’s cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Southern Wastelands were truly impoverished; Qin Ming didn’t expect them to acquire anything of high quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was a hands-off master—he held no official position in any faction, drifting through a thousand flowers without a single petal sticking to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no burdens, no entanglements like other Nascent Soul True Persons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qin Ming remained utterly alone, free to come and go as he pleased—truly carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Southern Wastelands needed only his title as a Nascent Soul True Person to deter all threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Fight and die for the Southern Wastelands? That’s impossible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days after the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a hidden location within the Beast Roar Mountains along the border of Wei State, Yousha Zhenjun and Li Huo Shangren, who had departed the Nascent Soul Ceremony, secretly communicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in yellow robes, Yousha Zhenjun was gaunt, his gaze sharp. After casting a barrier, he spoke with grave seriousness to Li Huo Shangren:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Well? Li Huo Old Ghost—what do you think of my proposal?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If you can’t bring yourself to act, I’ll strike first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The demon serpent’s core from the newly risen Wangyue Zhenjun is an irreplaceable treasure—once this chance passes, it won’t come again.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, there are several other priceless treasures—this opportunity won’t come again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve investigated thoroughly—he has no sect or clan; apart from knowing those two Spirit Saints, he has no other connections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we make it flawless, no one will avenge a lone Nascent Soul cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With our combined strength, even if he passed the Earthly Sha Heavenly Tribulation, he’s still a newly minted Nascent Soul—without years of adaptation and cultivation, he cannot master Nascent Soul-level magic power, let alone magic treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, the Lord of Discharge’s expression darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you sought me out privately for some other reason—turns out it’s this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friend Yousha, don’t mention this again—I will never cooperate with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not to mention that humans and demons have just reached a truce and are preparing for deeper joint cooperation—right at this critical moment, to target Qin, this vital link, I could never agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, out of our long-standing acquaintance, I’ll warn you, Friend Yousha: although the Wangyue True Person has just passed the Thunder Tribulation, his spiritual abilities are not to be underestimated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even I feel a chill in my bones—I can’t fathom his depth at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you strike once and fail, letting him escape, you’ll bear the full brunt of his wrath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The retaliation of a lone Nascent Soul cultivator with no ties and no liabilities to hold him back—imagine how terrifying it would be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All your disciples and grand-disciples combined wouldn’t be enough for him to slaughter in one go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Treasures are precious, but one must think thrice before acting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve said all I have to say—may you act wisely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must return to attend to palace affairs—I’ll take my leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereafter, the Lord of Discharge said no more, transforming into a crimson rainbow that vanished into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yousha True Person gazed pensively at the direction the Lord of Discharge had departed, his waxen face still tinged with reluctant dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My *Youming Chongshui Jing* has reached a critical stage—if I had this special water attribute demon core from the Ming water Great Snake, I could surely break through to Nascent Soul Mid-Stage—who then could stand against me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The old devil Lihuo has grown even more timid with age.
