come up empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced the changes brought by the \"Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture,\" he was itching to get the remaining cultivation techniques...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he could only wait a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming strolled around other shops in the market, bought a Spirit Beast Bag, and some meats, and returned to the shanty district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming made a breakfast using Golden Spirit Rice and Demon Beast Meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to start eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock at the door outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He peeked through the crack in the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a neighbor from nearby, someone he usually didn’t have much interaction with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, out of courtesy, Qin Ming still invited him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I heard Fellow Daoist Qin has become a Tier One Spirit Plant Master, so I came specially to offer my congratulations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A small gift, just a token, please accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the visitor handed over a small bag of gifts to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party’s enthusiasm, Qin Ming couldn’t refuse, so he thanked him and accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that neighbor’s gaze fell on Qin Ming’s dining table and saw the meal made with Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Rice, a look of undisguised envy appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of small talk, the man considered his visit a success and took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming finished eating and was about to wash the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another knock at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming furrowed his brows, muttering, \"What’s happening today?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, as usual, took a peek through the door crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a surprise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be his female neighbor, Li Yanli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she was dressed exquisitely and also holding a small package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her like this, Qin Ming relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fortunately, she must be here just to visit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just socializing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not here for anything else.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yanli entered the house, also congratulated Qin Ming, and left after chatting briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face had become somewhat haggard recently, and although she had some makeup on, Qin Ming noticed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems she still hasn’t gotten over Fellow Daoist Long’s death...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Fellow Daoist Long, her major support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her future days are probably going to be tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming didn’t ask her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she left, Li Yanli cast a sorrowful and resentful glance back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a few nearby cultivators came by to visit and socialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Qin Ming a bit of a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not fond of these sorts of social obligations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their gifts weren’t particularly valuable, Qin Ming couldn’t refuse their goodwill and thanked them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was sitting on a mat, cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Communication Talisman suddenly activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, and checked the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you available now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just passing by the market, but I have urgent matters to attend to and don’t have time to go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t be returning to the market for a short one to two years, maybe even three to five years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are available, we can complete the transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Qin, I happened to meet some acquaintances in the Spirit Feather Sect patrol team who are here right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and sent a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where shall we meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the road east of the market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’m coming over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the message, Qin Ming packed up his things and left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed the river by the shanty district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several middle-aged female cultivators were doing laundry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Qin Ming, they didn’t greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he walked away did they look askance and say sourly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, just a Tier One Spirit Plant Master, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not like he became a Tier One Alchemist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to be so arrogant about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was quite loud, and Qin Ming wasn’t too far away, so he heard it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming curled his lips and ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cup of tea’s time later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming arrived near the location given by Fellow Daoist Ruan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t rush to show himself but observed from a distance first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold wind brushed his face, the wild grass swayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of the road were endless stretches of wild grass and open fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few silhouettes appeared in his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fellow Daoist Ruan was smiling as he chatted with two members of the Spirit Feather Sect patrol team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming focused his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized the two Spirit Feather Sect patrol members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They often patrolled the alleys of the shanty district and were familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dissolved his doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming stepped out and walked directly towards the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Fellow Daoist Qin is here, please wait a moment,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a little thing to handle, I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Fellow Daoist Ruan saw Qin Ming, he showed a delighted expression and quickly excused himself from the two Spirit Feather Sect patrol members, walking towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Qin, apologies, I’ve been busy with important matters recently and cannot free myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fellow Daoist Ruan cupped his hands towards Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, Fellow Daoist Ruan, you have the goods with you, right?\" Qin Ming forced a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, by the way, Fellow Daoist Qin’s Beast Fang Rice should be mature by now, right?\" Fellow Daoist Ruan asked expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming patted his storage pouch and took out a small bag of Beast Fang Rice, just ten pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the bag to show the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white Spirit Rice, the size of a dog’s tooth, with a red tinge inside and a captivating fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, it’s Beast Fang Rice, and of excellent quality!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of barely noticeable greed flashed in Fellow Daoist Ruan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask Fellow Daoist Qin, the yield of this Beast Fang Rice... must be quite good, not just these ten pounds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ming frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Ruan, however much Beast Fang Rice I cultivated doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, of course not, I was just casually asking.\" Fellow Daoist Ruan laughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took the piece of Beast Hide inscribed with the \"Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture\" from his storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parties exchanged the hide for the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Beast Hide in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming it was authentic, Qin Ming was about to let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura circulating his Qi Blood suddenly sensed a strong killing intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information was directly and accurately transmitted to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qin Ming noticed something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained calm, pretending to be engrossed in the Beast Hide Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One... two... three... four... five...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were actually five distinct threads of killing intent focused on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, three came from Fellow Daoist Ruan and the two Spirit Feather Sect patrol cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sources of the other two killing intents had not yet revealed themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming realized his perilous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his face showed no sign of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fellow Daoist Ruan is at Qi Cultivation Middle Stage Fifth Layer, while the two from the Spirit Feather Sect patrol are at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer and Sixth Layer.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the two hidden figures, Qin Ming couldn’t sense their Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless thoughts flashed through Qin’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barely discernible fierce glint appeared in Qin Ming’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-02T08:35:13.175Z",1,"novelbin.me","9db465947b0f11623dbe4d8899e4823ed7d17382f3d425090d87a73c2f3b47ce","longevity-start-farming-with-entries-chapter-24","longevity-start-farming-with-entries-chapter-22",633,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-start-farming-with-entries-cover.jpg"]
