No wonder this is the sea clan’s territory—far richer than my rat nest in the Beast Roar Mountains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I’ll definitely get to see this once-in-a-millennium grand gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming followed the Penglai Sect members through the outer array inspection and entered Longyuan Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The island was already packed with people, divided from outside to inside into trading zones for Qi Refining to Golden Core cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stalls lined every street and alley, shops overflowing with treasures, bustling and lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the streets and lanes, various strangely shaped sea clan demonic cultivators mingled harmoniously with human cultivators—a rare sight indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! There’s the Fish-People Clan, the Giant Shark Clan, and the Hai Sha Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Giant Crab Clan, the Bi Luo Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They look so strange, Master—I feel like I’m watching seafood walking down the street. Hehehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shitian Rat, as if discovering a new continent, had never seen so many sea clans before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming found this amusing and turned to it, saying: “There are shape-shifting sea creatures here—watch your tongue. To land-based demonic races, they’re just as valuable as nourishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! I was just joking—I’ll be careful from now on.” Shitian Rat realized those who came to the island surely included fourth-rank demonic sages among the sea clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming subtly sensed and discovered that the two Ghost Realm Palace cultivators disguised as shrimp soldiers and crab generals were also on Longyuan Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, he had already extended his spiritual sense across hundreds of miles around the island and found no trace of demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these two demonic cultivators had clearly infiltrated the island’s inner circle, leaving Qin Ming deeply puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘These demonic cultivators’ plan has already been exposed—could they have other hidden moves?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Looks like I’ll have to find those two later and forcibly extract their memories.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the island, Qin Ming was immediately drawn in by all manner of rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told Longmu Zhenjun: “My two fellow cultivators, I’ll wander around for a while—I’ll meet you again at the Nascent Soul gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well,” Longmu Zhenjun smiled. “Though the grand gathering offers countless celestial treasures, each must rely on their own fortune. I wish you success in finding something valuable here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, accompanied by Shitian Rat, began wandering the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard that in past Immortal Mansion Gatherings, even Nascent Soul True Cultivators had found incredible deals at Qi Refining stalls—stories still told with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Qin Ming started from the outer zones, buying anything he fancied on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he contacted Huatian Xiong via the Black Talisman: “Huatian Xiong, you’ve arrived on the island, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reporting, Master—I arrived with Senior Xia and the others two days ago. I’ve secured a stall in the Golden Core trading zone to sell goods and keep an eye out for what you need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Keep a sharp lookout for news of ‘Qingkong Spirit Soil’—notify me immediately if you hear anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing Huatian Xiong, Qin Ming continued strolling along the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shitian Rat had an uncanny sensitivity to treasure energy and rarely missed anything of value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! Special Donghai Bilingshan sea ginseng—restores male vitality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Freshly harvested scales from a high-stage second-rank scaled beast—perfect for defensive magic treasures. Yunhai Pavilion—guaranteed quality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Early-stage third-rank eel-sea beast earth-elemental core—waiting for a destined buyer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rare lightning-elemental electric eel from ten-thousand-zhang depths—alive! Do not touch—liability is yours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Donghai Treasure Talisman Pavilion’s talismans on sale—essential for travel and daily life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets teemed with crowds; merchants’ calls rose and fell in a ceaseless din.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming, enjoying his stroll, arrived at a stall selling spirit seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor was a dark-skinned youth, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Seeing Qin Ming approach, he instantly sensed the depth of his spiritual power and knew Qin Ming’s cultivation far surpassed his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Esteemed elder, may I ask what you’re interested in? Allow me to introduce it to you.” The dark-faced youth bowed with a flattering smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming casually picked up a few pale purple spirit seeds: “How much for these?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are spirit seeds of the second-rank superior plant, Purple Yang Flower. They mature in about two years—when harvested, they’re a rare celestial delicacy. Hehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feeding them to demonic beasts or spirit pets greatly enhances their reproductive capacity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-faced cultivator glanced at Shitian Rat on Qin Ming’s shoulder and added emphatically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want them, this bag costs one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shitian Rat immediately bristled: “How dare you speak like that? I use third-rank spirit tea as mouthwash—who’d care about your trash? Need your stuff to boost my abilities? Pfft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-faced youth, startled that the rat could speak, froze—then quickly bowed apologetically: “Forgive me, elder! I didn’t know—I’m sorry! So sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shitian Rat sneered and ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming smiled faintly and said: “I’ll take all these bags of spirit seeds. How much in total?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the vendor first froze, then broke into an ecstatic grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected to sell out in just half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, elder! Altogether, it’s sixteen hundred mid-grade spirit stones!” The youth’s face split into a grin—he’d bought these seeds from various places hoping to profit from the markup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deducting stall fees, he’d make a fortune—this was pure windfall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming paid the spirit stones and took the seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Payment and goods exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, why suddenly interested in second-rank spirit seeds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were far enough away, Shitian Rat asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it was a bit nerve-wracking—if Qin Ming really fed those Purple Yang Flowers to him and bred more little rat demons, it wasn’t impossible. After all, his Shitian Rat bloodline was valuable. Qin Ming selected a few gray seeds from the pile, examined them closely, and said: “These few seeds are ‘Chenhai Zilu Grass,’ a fourth-rank inferior spirit plant recorded in the ‘Hua Mu Spirit Scripture’—used to brew elixirs that restore magic power for Nascent Soul cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see the Immortal Mansion Gathering lives up to its reputation—I’ve finally found a hidden treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You really want to eat those Purple Yang Flowers to bulk up? If you want, grow some yourself in the Small Spirit Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shitian Rat exhaled deeply, then quickly waved its hands upon hearing Qin Ming’s next words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No no no—I don’t need any!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming smiled and continued toward the central zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first few days, the stalls and shops on Longyuan Island merely warmed up for the Immortal Mansion Gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true grand gathering would be held in a circular arena at the island’s center, capable of holding tens of thousands of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But entry here had strict thresholds—not just anyone could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All manner of celestial treasures from immortal mansions would be displayed and traded here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large-scale auctions would also be held, jointly hosted by the Tianhai Alliance and the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the cultivators ahead on the street scattered in panic, clearing a wide path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome young man sat atop a treasure carriage made of purple jade coral, pulled by several azure sea horses, slowly advancing down the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage was open-air; the youth wore white jade gold-threaded robes, possessed golden eyes, and radiated an unfathomable aura—clearly exuding the power of a shape-shifting demonic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the coral carriage, the golden-eyed shape-shifter was flanked by two stunning female cultivators, dressed lightly, clinging tightly to him. His procession was extravagantly flamboyant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stood before a stall, preparing to buy something—but the vendor, seeing this spectacle, abandoned his post and fled. Only Qin Ming remained alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the golden-eyed shape-shifting demonic beast’s gaze suddenly narrowed, locking onto Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His handsome face broke into a smile. He pushed away the women beside him and asked Qin Ming: “May I ask, esteemed guest, where are you from? You seem unfamiliar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I come from the Southern Wastelands cultivation realm,” Qin Ming replied calmly with a polite smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the golden-eyed demonic beast’s interest surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? How coincidental.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be the newly appointed Wangyue Zhenjun. I’ve heard much, but never seen you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Prince Xuanxiao, third prince of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. I’ve heard of you from Old Ao Feng—he mentioned you saved his son’s life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not come to my estate for a visit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-eyed demonic beast’s smile widened as he directly invited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your kind offer, Prince Xuanxiao, but I intend to wander first—I’ll pay my respects another day,” Qin Ming replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanxiao nodded, saying nothing more: “Very well. May fortune favor you, Qin Daoist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then continued driving his carriage away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the crowd on the street snap back to reality—they hadn’t expected a Nascent Soul True Person to stroll through Foundation Establishment stalls. It was utterly unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming looked plainly ordinary—if not for the Eastern Sea’s third prince recognizing him, they’d have assumed he was merely a Golden Core elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they turned back to look at Qin Ming’s stall, he had already vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming left the outer zone and entered the island’s core area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to Longmu Daoist, the Dragon Clan of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace carries the legendary ancient true spirit bloodline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if it's even true—it truly stirs my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he reached a shop in the Jin Dan section and spotted an old acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long-missed smile of joy instantly appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the shop stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young cultivator in a green robe was fiercely haggling with the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re asking me three hundred high-grade spirit stones for this third-stage late-grade dragon-rhinoceros horn? Are you trying to swindle me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, please look closely before you speak—this isn’t a dragon-rhinoceros horn, it’s a fourth-stage early-grade dragon-elephant horn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper fell silent in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1688,"2026-06-20T20:44:53.817Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0679bbe1a40f2542997929e750324608899f9f2065f40911aa95f14edbe9191c","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-715","eternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-chapter-713",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starting-with-farming-to-refresh-my-cover.jpg"]
