What kind of array could possibly warrant such an exchange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other cultivators grew increasingly restless as they watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Danshi could no longer hold back and spoke first: “Lin Dao You , what array is this? What does it do? Tell us as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Yin-Yang Reversal Illusion Array—a mid-grade composite array. The outer layer is an illusion array, concealing a deadly killing array within. It’s a rare type, virtually nonexistent on the market, unique to this one set.” Lin Zixiao’s brief explanation ignited intense desire in everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A composite array?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was deeply intrigued, but his storage bag held nothing worthy of exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Dao You , how much in spirit stones is this array worth?” Qin Ming asked bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zixiao replied coolly: “At least eight hundred spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming glanced at Huang Xishan’s set of mid-grade magic treasures—it was surely equally valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I offer twelve hundred spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Ming pondered, the Feng Brothers spoke again, making Huang Xishan’s expression darken further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man offers thirteen hundred spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Danshi also joined the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Reversal Illusion Array became the hottest item in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange fair turned into an auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides this set of mid-grade magic treasures, I’ll add five hundred spirit stones.” Huang Xishan seemed determined to secure the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this price, he was already overpaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was merely a mid-grade array; going higher would push the price beyond two thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one raised their bid further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zixiao beamed, clearly delighted by the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone assumed the array would go to the high-grade alchemist Huang Xishan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint voice spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I offer two thousand spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to see the bidder: Qin Ming, a Qi Refining fifth-layer farmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sat quietly, saying nothing—then dropped a bid that crushed the entire field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price could buy an ordinary high-grade array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ming had thought carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This array was immensely useful to him. If he embedded his Thorn Spell, cast using the withered blood poison vine spirit seed, within the array—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would rival a triple-composite array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array’s power would surge dramatically, rivaling even high-grade arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he was willing to pay such a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his final bid—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared in shock, unable to believe this unremarkable Qi Refining fifth-layer farmer had so much wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lin Zixiao’s mid-grade Yin-Yang Reversal Illusion Array became Qin Ming’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Dao You , it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming smiled, took out a sack of spirit rice, and said: “Fifty jin of Beast Tooth Rice. Equivalent spirit stones or items are acceptable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though spirit rice had depreciated, Beast Tooth Rice—rare as it was—remained highly sought after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! Beast Tooth Rice? Qin Dao You , no wonder you’re a mid-grade spirit cultivator—you even have such rare rice!” Yan Danshi exclaimed. “I’ll offer one hundred spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I offer one hundred forty spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange fair ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had gained something worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Qin Ming devoted himself to intense cultivation and rarely left Qingyang Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew. Another year passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming spent it in the monotony of cultivation and farming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area around Qingyang Market had stabilized; this year, Jin Yun Valley and Lingyu Gate launched massive manhunts against the bandits, severely affecting nearby rogue cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None dared to commit crimes during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s spirit rice fields had yielded two harvests of Jin Ling Rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first harvest yielded one [Weak Magic Power] term and one [Quality Enhancement] term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second and third harvests yielded three [Ripening] terms and two [Weak Magic Power] terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current remaining terms in his spiritual sea: [Ripening] x5, [Regenerate Spirit Seed] x2, [Quality Enhancement] x1, [Weak Magic Power] x3. Under Qin Ming’s diligent care, all three mu of Beast Tooth Rice had transformed into premium red-and-white Beast Tooth Rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its value was incalculable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually impassive Gu Zhishi personally visited Qin Ming’s fields to inspect the rice and praised him highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Haifu stood beside him, beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Dao You , the Beast Tooth Rice you’ve grown is premium grade—even the sect’s spirit cultivation elders have taken notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sect has decided to exempt you from another ten percent of your spirit rice tax. From now on, you need only pay thirty-five percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhishi’s stern face broke into a faint smile. “Little Qin, could you part with some of your remaining premium Beast Tooth Rice? I’m willing to pay market price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—I too, Qin Dao You , could you sell me some?” Du Haifu quickly added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming replied awkwardly: “I’ve already signed an agreement with Gu Gezhu of Juxuan Pavilion. If I have any left, I can sell some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it was a deal with Gu Gezhu, both men could only sigh in resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Dao You , congratulations again—your two mu of medicinal fields have fully matured: the high-grade Demon Flame Grass and premium Seven-Leaf Huang Ling. The official responsible for recording has already reported it. You’re now just one step away from becoming a high-grade spirit cultivator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the internal sect elders will personally oversee your evaluation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Haifu beamed with flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s promotion to high-grade spirit cultivator was all but certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His status and position would inevitably rise sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gu Zhishi might have to address him as an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, even though both Gu Zhishi and Du Haifu were desperate for the premium Beast Tooth Rice, they dared not exploit Qin Ming further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect’s orders were to encourage Qin Ming to plant even more Beast Tooth Rice in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, Qin Dao You , rest—you’re too good for such rough work. I’ll handle the harvest!” As Qin Ming moved to harvest the three mu of Beast Tooth Rice, Du Haifu snatched the spirit sickle from his hand and began harvesting with great enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a morning later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Haifu was bent over, drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stalks of premium Beast Tooth Rice were extremely tough, requiring a small amount of magic power to harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished harvesting all the Beast Tooth Rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came weighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Haifu wiped his brow, grinning as he pulled out a large spirit container to weigh the harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Total harvest: twelve dan and eighty jin of premium Beast Tooth Rice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tax due: thirty-five percent—that’s four hundred forty-eight jin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the tax, Qin Ming still had eight hundred thirty-two jin of premium Beast Tooth Rice left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming thought inwardly: If Gu Qingzhao knew this, she’d probably go mad with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gu Zhishi and Du Haifu led the Lingyu Gate personnel away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming sent a message talisman to Su Yuqing, asking him to come harvest the medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three incense sticks later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing arrived late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Brother, why are you so late today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing smiled. “I was just tidying up some things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming frowned. “Su Brother, are you truly leaving Yunze Wilds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. I was waiting for your herbs to mature—I would’ve left earlier otherwise.” Su Yuqing paused, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuqing walked to the medicinal field, saw the scene, and his face lit up with delight. He harvested all the herbs, then picked out one Demon Flame Grass and one Seven-Leaf Huang Ling and handed them to Qin Ming. “This is your share.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming took the herbs and placed them carefully into two jade boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, all banquets eventually come to an end; let us part here.
