Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Chapter 738 - 579: Crystal Thought Pill

After returning to the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion.Qin Ming brought the Nanming Ancestor to see Xiao Xun.

"Greetings to Elder Nanming." Xiao Xun was quite well-mannered and well-read. Even though her status had reached a high level, she didn’t look down on the Nanming Ancestor, whose cultivation level had temporarily fallen back to the late-stage Nascent Soul.

"Haha! Pavilion Master Xiao, there’s no need for formalities. I’m already in such a state, I’m truly ashamed!" The Nanming Ancestor shook his head and said.

Afterward.

Qin Ming recounted what he had seen and heard on his return, as well as the cause of the Outer Sea beast tide to Xiao Xun.

After listening, Xiao Xun frowned. She never expected that behind it was indeed the Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable stirring up trouble.

"The Cangming Demon Venerable has already gone on a rampage. Next, he might target the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion, after all, it has the most high-tier cultivators of the Human Race here, making it his best choice for hunting cultivators to feed the Wood Demon." The Nanming Ancestor, being somewhat insightful, analyzed after pondering for a moment.

Xiao Xun had once come to the aid of the Southern Wilderness. Naturally, Qin Ming couldn’t stand idly by.

Moreover, he was extremely interested in the Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon on the Soul-Eroding Bone Marsh and the things hidden in the Blood Pool by the Cangming Demon Venerable.

He could sense that these two things were definitely extraordinary.

"Rest assured, we will also help you resolve the matters of the Outer Sea this time." Qin Ming smiled slightly and said to Xiao Xun.

The Nanming Ancestor, looking at the two, naturally perceived their unusual relationship, so he lightly coughed and said, "With such powerful enemies, I owe Fellow Daoist Qin a great debt, so I will certainly do my best to assist Pavilion Master Xiao in resisting the beast tide."

Behind the veil, Xiao Xun’s face showed a hint of a smile: "Thank you both very much. With your help, I believe the Human Race in the Outer Sea will be able to safely pass this tribulation."

Afterward.

Qin Ming and the Nanming Ancestor settled down at the End of the World.

The Nanming Ancestor seized the time to recover his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming took the opportunity to accelerate the ripening of Spirit Plants.

Inside the small spirit realm.

With Qin Ming’s years of continuous careful nurturing, silver fruits had once again borne on his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Immortal Vine.

Two golden term progress bars were already filled.

[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Nascent Soul Dharma Power x5 (Maturity 100%, ready for harvest)

[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 100%, ready for harvest)

Qin Ming harvested all the Spirit Fruits from his Lifebound Spirit Plant, and ten term leaves appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after.

He used the five obtained [Time Flies] entries to accelerate the ripening of the Heart Inquiry Fruit and Divine Crystal Fruit respectively.

These two Tier Five Spirit Plants, under the acceleration of the entries, which originally had progress halfway, matured completely with flower and fruit, all collected by Qin Ming.

At the same time.

He harvested five [Divinity Transformation Power] entries from the Heart Inquiry Fruit Tree and one [Red Dust Slash] entry.

From the Divine Crystal Fruit, he harvested five [Divinity Transformation Power] entries and five [Soul Power Essence] entries.

Qin Ming had not yet broken through his realm, so he temporarily stored these entries.

First, he used up the five [Soul Power Essence] entries, which immediately strengthened his Divine Soul significantly, reaching the peak of Early-Stage Divinity Transformation, just a hair away from breaking through to Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation of Divine Soul Power.

Once he refines the Crystal Thought Pill, he will certainly achieve a breakthrough.

So far, Qin Ming had gathered all the spiritual materials needed to refine the Divinity Transformation Ointment and Crystal Thought Pill.

Qin Ming prepared to start alchemy on the spot.

Meanwhile, the beast tide in the Outer Sea was still in a state of stalemate.

The Cangming Demon Venerable was hunting human Nascent Soul cultivators all over the Outer Sea, causing panic throughout the sea regions.

Outside, with Xiao Xun and the Nanming Ancestor jointly overseeing the big picture, Qin Ming did not need to worry too much.

Inside the cave mansion.

Qin Ming controlled the Ancient Poison Flame, carefully adjusting the fire, gradually merging all the spiritual materials needed to refine the Crystal Thought Pill inside the Pill Furnace.

With the previous experience of refining the Mysterious Pill, he gained unique insights, and his alchemy technique refined into smoothness as he refined another Tier Five Spiritual Pill.

A half-month later.

On top of Xiao Xun’s cave mansion, a dazzling five-colored radiance suddenly bloomed, presenting a sky abnormal phenomenon of a dragon and tiger copulating, with dense crimson cloudlight twisting and lingering.

Such a wonder drew amazement from all the cultivators above the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion.

"Is the Pavilion Master practicing Great Divine Techniques?"

"Friend, you are not aware. Such an abnormal phenomenon indicates the refinement of some high-tier spiritual treasure or high-tier pill."

"It must be above Tier Four since it could provoke changes in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, forming a resonance with the Great Dao..."

"Hiss! Could it be a Tier Five Spiritual Pill?"

"What? When did the Pavilion Master become a Tier Five Pill Saint? I’ve never heard of any such skill studies!"

"You’re unaware. It’s said that a distinguished guest arrived at the Pavilion Master, and they have a deep relationship... this phenomenon might be instigated by this elder."

"..."

Xiao Xun and Ancestor Nanming both looked in the direction of the cave mansion, their eyes full of different colors.

Ancestor Nanming sighed deeply, "Friend Qin is truly a monstrous talent! Such a phenomenon must mean the successful refining of a Tier Five Spiritual Pill."

"And now, with his divine techniques, he can slay a Divinity Transformation. Should he achieve Divinity Transformation, he would be unparalleled among peers of the same level."

He had personally experienced Qin Ming’s methods and witnessed the scene of him exterminating a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable.

His evaluation of Qin Ming was exceptionally high.

Inside the cave mansion.

Qin Ming put away the Spiritual Fire and then raised his hand, grasping three silver shining spirit pills, emitting an astonishing pill halo, falling into his hand, with a full twenty Dao Patterns on them.

After putting away two of them, he took out one Crystal Thought Pill and consumed it.

In an instant.

As the medicinal power unfurled, a rumbling sound came from Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness, and his Divine Soul Power began to surge once more.

The Divine Thought Power, originally vast and mighty, transitioned from Divine Thought Transformation towards Divine Thought Materialization.

At this moment, Qin Ming’s Divine Soul was undergoing drastic changes, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Several days later.

His Divine Soul had doubled in power, completed its transformation, and another portion of crystal-like solidified Divine Thoughts was added, terrifyingly comparable to a Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

The range his Divine Thought could cover also increased considerably.

If Qin Ming were to deploy a spirit shock now, even an ordinary Early-Stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator might not withstand it.

This is the terror after the words strengthened the Divine Soul and consuming a Tier Five Crystal Thought Pill.

Such spiritual pills, able to enhance Divine Soul Power, are rare even among Tier Five Spiritual Pills, comparable to the Mysterious Pill, extremely difficult to refine and very scarce.

Taking advantage of his peak alchemy condition, Qin Ming struck while the iron was hot and started trying to refine the legendary Ancient Divine Medicine—Divinity Transformation Ointment.

The Divinity Transformation Abyss, how distant it is!

Only such spiritual pills and miraculous medicines can help condense the primordial spirit and add a glimmer of opportunity.

The five core main ingredients, plus hundreds of rare auxiliary materials, none are easy to find in the Cultivation Realm.

Now they all floated around Qin Ming.

However, the refining difficulty of this pill far exceeds the previous two Tier Five pills.

Qin Ming failed more than ten consecutive times, almost depleting all spiritual materials, without a single success.

"Sigh! It seems I need to ponder more, and look for a thread of opportunity."

"The Divinity Transformation Ointment, as a chance to break through the Divinity Transformation Abyss, is indeed incredibly difficult to refine!"

"Where, exactly, is the problem?"

Realizing something was wrong, Qin Ming quickly cut his losses and stopped pill refining.

He decided to settle for a while and try again in the future.

After months of secluded pill refining, Qin Ming walked out of the cave mansion.

Xiao Xun and Ancestor Nanming also came over to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin for refining another Tier Five Spiritual Pill, worthy of celebration!"

Subsequently.

Qin Ming followed the two into the pavilion to discuss.

He learned about the current situation in the Outer Sea.

Upon learning that the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion had now allied with other human forces to jointly resist this Beast Tide crisis.

However, Qin Ming came to know the mastermind behind the changes in the Outer Sea situation was hidden under the Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon nurtured by that infamous Cangming Demon Venerable.

This matter Qin Ming had never mentioned to the two.

Now stronger than before, after pondering for a while, Qin Ming said to Xiao Xun and Ancestor Nanming: "This war between the Human and Demon Races in the Outer Sea cannot be sustained for long. After all, the Demon Race’s forces are far larger, and it can’t be exhausted this way."

"I know, but... apart from joint resistance, there’s no better way; after all, the Outer Sea isn’t like the Five Great Cultivation Realms, and besides Elder Nanming, there’s no other Venerable Divinity Transformation to oversee." Xiao Xun also sighed helplessly.

"To catch the bandits, one must first capture their leader. Since the root of the issue is within the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp, I plan to go there and solve it once and for all." Qin Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun and Ancestor Nanming were astonished.

"Could it be... Fellow Daoist Qin is confident in slaying that Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable?"

"That fiend is comparable to an ordinary Divinity Transformation. Fellow Daoist Qin, please think thrice!"

"How about seeking assistance from other Venerable Divinity Transformations in the Human Realm?"

Although the two were well aware of Qin Ming’s divine technique strength, they still urged him.

"No need."

"Thus... when the time comes, you two will create a false impression of a decisive battle here to lure the snake out of its hole..."

"Meanwhile, I will infiltrate the lair of that Cangming Demon Venerable to find out what’s going on and pull the rug out from under him."

After discussing and deliberating for most of the day, the three quickly finalized their plan.
