Are you joking??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming took the charred piece of spiritual wood, slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had personally witnessed that extraordinary spiritual plant in his day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet from appearance alone, this fragment of remains did bear a faint resemblance to the coral-like branches of the Seven Wonders Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong, seeing everyone’s shock, looked quite pleased, then explained: “It’s certainly true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re unaware—back then, that sky-piercing Seven Wonders Tree, after the Qingyuan Sect’s secret realm opened for a time, inexplicably withered and died completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to Elder Gan, both the orthodox and demonic sects’ Nascent Soul True Persons exhausted every possible method to revive this sacred tree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet on a certain day, the Seven Wonders Tree spontaneously combusted, turning into a pile of charcoal, leaving only seven fragments of remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These remains were immediately divided equally among the major Nascent Soul sects; the Li Huo Palace received one fragment, and Elder Gan originally intended to store it in the sect’s treasure vault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought this item might be useful to Elder Qin, so I spent a fortune to arrange its transfer—hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I nearly emptied my entire fortune just to acquire this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the origin of this fragment of the sacred tree, Qin Ming praised Hua Tianxiong: “You’ve thought deeply of this—well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For he had just used the Yin-Yang Mystic Mirror technique to scan the fragment and discovered a faint thread of life still lingering at its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Other Nascent Soul elders couldn’t revive it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t. Alas! I never expected even our sect’s sacred tree would wither—it’s truly a pity. It’s said a fully mature Seven Wonders Tree could grow beyond the fourth-rank spiritual plant stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This tree was planted by a great adept personally. It had thrived in Qingyuan Sect for ten thousand years, yet in the end, it still withered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tragic. Pitiful. A shame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang the Devil Demon sighed heavily within the Blood Pagoda, deeply grieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a time atop the Star Sea Divine Vine, his spiritual body and soul had been nourished and restored considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond fourth-rank? So it could reach fifth-rank divine tree status?” Qin Ming asked involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyang the Devil Demon chuckled: “Hehehe! Our ancient Qingyuan Sect was famed for cultivating and nurturing spiritual plants. During our peak, we certainly had more than one fifth-rank spiritual plant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since the last two old bastards ascended, no one has been able to cultivate them again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That marked the beginning of Qingyuan Sect’s decline and downfall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the mortal realm, fifth-rank divine trees still exist today—for instance, the Penglai Divine Tree of the Eastern Sea cultivation world, a fifth-rank relic passed down from the ancient cultivation realm. When I was still alive, that tree already existed—it was the Penglai Sect’s treasured artifact, passed from generation to generation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said even Soul Transformation masters cannot move it an inch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Qingyang the Devil Demon’s account, Qin Ming was secretly astonished—he had never known such secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The Penglai Divine Tree? Good thing I obtained a Penglai Divine Token from Long Mu Zhenjun—I’ll definitely go see the fifth-rank divine tree when the chance arises.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘As for this fragment of the sacred tree, I might as well try using the [Regenerate Spirit Seed] term—how much it recovers remains unknown.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the gift Hua Tianxiong had gone to such lengths to prepare, Qin Ming studied him again and asked: “Didn’t I give you the Divine Wood Pill when I left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, after all these years, is your cultivation still stuck at Golden Core mid-stage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong’s face flushed red. “I—I suppose because, under Elder Gan’s protection early on, my cultivation was too smooth, so later I developed stronger resistance to pills, so...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I suspected as much. You’ve never lacked cultivation resources, and you possess the Wu Earth Spirit Body—your talent isn’t poor. Most likely, your magic power lacks purity. You must cultivate diligently and refine your magic power,” Qin Ming advised calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong hurriedly replied: “Elder Qin’s advice is absolutely correct! I’ll remember it well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Qin Ming pulled out a small vial of Demon Flame Wine and handed it to him: “This wine is called Demon Flame Wine. Drinking it for the first time allows a Golden Core cultivator to instantly break through their bottleneck—whether you use it to reach late-stage Golden Core or full Golden Core is your choice. Use it wisely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hua Tianxiong’s entire body trembled with excitement as he bowed deeply in thanks: “Thank you, Elder Qin, for your immense generosity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already decided—he’d abandon all his business affairs upon returning, ignore everything, and enter a long-term seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he’d break through to late-stage Golden Core—then consume this Demon Flame Spirit Wine... wouldn’t that open the path to the Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this chaotic world, it would grant him greater self-preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was profoundly grateful to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life had been worthwhile—he never expected his fortune to be so great: first, he saved Elder Gan’s life, launching his cultivation to new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, by sheer coincidence, he encountered Master Qin—he’d thought he’d be doomed once under Qin’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had witnessed firsthand how Qin had grown into an unattainable celestial tree, and his own stagnant Golden Core early-stage cultivation had, through Qin’s casual guidance, finally broken through to mid-stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he even saw the hope of breaking through to late-stage Golden Core—and perhaps even full Golden Core! Though his life and death were now entirely under Qin’s control, he felt no regret whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, from now on, he, Hua Tianxiong, was a man protected by a Nascent Soul elder... He suddenly felt the effort he’d spent to obtain the sacred tree fragment from Elder Gan had been utterly worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange of pleasantries,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming shifted the topic to the descent of the world. Though he had learned much from Li Huo Shangren and the Ancient Mountain Demon Saint,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the actual situation within the cultivation world—especially as they were from Da Jin—they ought to have the clearest insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong’s excited expression immediately drooped. “Alas! The Three Kingdoms of Zhongzhou are now engulfed in war, demonic forces rampant. Da Jin is suffering terribly—heretical sects and raiding cultivators emerge endlessly, taking advantage of the chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Qianji Trading House nearly collapsed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only thanks to Elder Qin’s successful Nascent Soul formation did things finally calm down for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, we envy the Southern Wastes—so far untouched by demonic invasion, free from conflict and war,” Su Yuqing added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Elder Qin's awe-inspiring authority, the Southern Wastes cultivation world has formed the Four Kingdoms Alliance for unified governance, ending decades of mutual warfare among the kingdoms and ushering in an era of prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On our journey through the Southern Wastes, we saw almost no raiding cultivators—the environment is extremely peaceful and stable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The scale of the Star-Moon Bazaar on the spiritual energy Archipelago truly opened my eyes—I’m awestruck. It rivals even Li Huo Palace’s Li Tian Immortal City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing, having witnessed the astonishing transformations of the Southern Wastes cultivation world, sighed in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this entire state of affairs in the Southern Wastes was entirely due to Qin Ming, the sole Nascent Soul True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? So the situation in Da Jin has deteriorated to this extent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps when Li Huo Shangren and the others return, their alliance with the demonic clans might turn things around somewhat,” Qin Ming said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allied with demonic clans?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong and Su Yuqing were both deeply shocked—this was high-level cultivation world secrecy they had never heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news from Qin Ming, their minds churned with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past half-year, the human and demonic clan elites must have secretly coordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su, since the situation in Da Jin is so dire, why not move your Su family to the Southern Wastes? I’ll just send a word to Li Huo Palace,” Qin Ming said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing felt moved, but after a moment’s thought, he replied: “Thank you, Elder Qin, for your kindness—but the Su family has been rooted in Longting Lake for centuries; relocating the entire clan is impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For now, I can still handle the situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, seeing his resolve, did not press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Su Yuqing had his own decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong secretly communicated with Qin Ming through the Black Rune:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, what about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to stay! Hehehe! I see you’ve got such a vast spiritual vein island, yet no proper person to manage it—surely that won’t work, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even those three-tier branch veins are left undeveloped and abandoned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. You must remain hidden in Da Jin—I may still have great use for you,” Qin Ming refused outright. “We’ll discuss managing the island later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words instantly doused Hua Tianxiong’s enthusiastic offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Qin Ming not left Hua Tianxiong behind in Da Jin back then, he would never have obtained this fragment of the sacred tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tianxiong and Su Yuqing stayed on Wangyue Island for several more days, then traveled to the Star-Moon Bazaar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then took their leave from Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Small Spirit Realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>several months ago, Qin Ming had split off a portion of the Spirit Marrow Tremella and implanted it into the core of the Small Spirit Realm’s spiritual vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also spent over four thousand superior-grade spirit stones, raising the spiritual vein’s rank to fourth-rank low-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This maneuver nearly exhausted all the superior-grade spirit stones he had received during his Nascent Soul ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out the charred fragment of the sacred tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming found a scenic open patch of land, placed it down, and with a thought, consumed one [Regenerate Spirit Seed] term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a mysterious force descended—blackened wood sprouted a cluster of purple spores, completely enveloping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spores emitted a rich vitality, beginning to revive the Seven Wonders Tree fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed, even after the term was fully consumed, the fragment had only regained a slight trace of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There remained a long way to true revival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately intensified his efforts, consuming three more [Regenerate Spirit Seed] terms in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five consecutive terms and the empowerment of the Four Seasons Divine Light, the fragment of the Seven Wonders Tree finally revived completely, sprouting tiny emerald-green buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sacred tree truly deserves its status as Qingyuan Sect’s treasured spiritual plant—it took five [Regenerate Spirit Seed] terms just to barely revive it,” Qin Ming gazed at the single emerald sprout, filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming consumed another [Temporal-Spatial Leaf] term, preparing to accelerate its growth—yet after five terms were spent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Seven Wonders Tree had only grown to two inches tall—like a small coral, radiating a shimmering seven-colored aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five hundred years to grow this much... Clearly, to fully mature this tree will require many more terms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It probably also depends on the spiritual vein’s environment and other special conditions...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming wasn’t in a hurry—he planned to wait until future farming refreshed another [Temporal-Spatial Leaf] term, then attempt to accelerate this Seven Wonders Tree to its legendary fully mature state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, his [Leaf of Time and Space] entry had been completely depleted from having aggressively accelerated the growth of spiritual plants to prepare for refining the Nascent Soul Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1907,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.817Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","81c6bc5fe9948ecd897380f1bae11d3b1f2b7b878175e374164a0a08a1660498","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-672","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-670",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
