Previously.

When the Record Officer of the Spirit Plant Master Guild came to the island for the first routine registration, Qin Ming had not yet planted Spirit Nesting Rice.

At that time, only Spirit-Gathering Tea and Purple Gold Bamboo, both Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Plants, were registered.

Therefore, when the Record Officer returned now and discovered the vast fields of mature Spirit Nesting Rice, they couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

However, the source of Qin Ming's Spirit Nesting Rice could withstand scrutiny, after all, he bought the Spirit Seed from Mo Lingwei of Qingxia Island.

Thus.

Given the rarity of Spirit Nesting Rice, securing a place in the Plant Illusion Realm was already guaranteed for Qin Ming.

Even the name of the Spirit Nest Islands is derived from this rice.

After lying dormant for hundreds of years.

One can imagine what it means for the local cultivators that Spirit Nesting Rice has resurfaced.

The next day.

The news of the reappearance of Spirit Nesting Rice exploded like thunder on flat ground in the Celestial River Market.

"What?!"

"A Spirit Plant Master has finally succeeded in cultivating Spirit Nesting Rice again!"

"It can't be a deception, can it?"

"How could it be false?"

"It's news from the Spirit Plant Master Guild."

"Absolutely certain."

"Which Spirit Plant Master grew it?"

"It's said to be Master Qin from Moon Island."

"Wow, I'm so envious!"

For a time, the remote little island of Moon Island in this Land of the Far North became the center of attention.

"Ah, I was hoping to keep a low profile, but it's hard when you're this outstanding." Qin Ming looked outside, sighing heavily.

All the visiting cultivators were blocked outside the island by his Tier Two High-Grade Protective Array.

Qin Ming refused to see any visitors.

Even Wu Jiang below was quite frightened by this situation.

"Qin... Fellow Daoist Qin, is there nothing to worry about?"

He asked cautiously.

"No worries, unless a Golden Core Ancestor comes, no one can enter the island." Qin Ming's words reassured him a lot.

Wu Jiang was filled with admiration for Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you're really amazing to have cultivated Spirit Nesting Rice, which was almost extinct for a hundred years."

"If only I could cultivate it too."

...

Of course, there were also those bold and reckless enough to attack Moon Island's Defense Array during this time.

Qin Ming naturally wouldn't tolerate that.

After killing several batches and feeding them to the Longevity Vine, those petty troublemakers dared not approach Moon Island anymore.

Half a year later.

As Qin Ming continued to remain behind closed doors, the buzz around Spirit Nesting Rice gradually faded.

The crowds watching the spectacle also began to disperse.

During this half year, Qin Ming did not idle.

Instead, in his Cave Mansion, he used the Entry for [Regenerative Spirit Seed] to resurrect the defective Jade Marrow Mushroom.

Then, using the [Leaf of Space-Time], he ripened it to three hundred years.

Afterward, he obtained its Spirit Seed.

Next was a series of similar procedures, ultimately obtaining six portions of Jade Marrow Mushrooms with three hundred years of Medicinal Power.

Once the Spirit Seeds of Jade Marrow Mushrooms were secured.

Qin Ming resurrected and ripened other spirit herbs and materials around these six Jade Marrow Mushrooms.

Because the medicinal power requirement for other spiritual materials was not as high.

Progress went smoothly.

Finally, Qin Ming obtained complete materials for refining six batches of Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, he was not in a hurry to refine them.

He planned to deal with the matters of the Plant Illusion Realm before starting the refinement.

The black Demon Fruit on the Longevity Vine also matured.

Qin Ming used the five [Weak Lifespan] Entries he harvested at the scene.

Instantly extending his lifespan by fifty years.

Qin Ming now, with a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation, possessed a lifespan of over two hundred and ten years.

Comparable to the lifespan at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When he breaks through his Mana Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, his lifespan will increase by about two hundred years more.

Regarding the black skeleton fruit on the Longevity Vine, inside it was still spirit seeds for the Thorn Technique.

However, he wasn't certain what power these spirit seeds held this time, given that the Longevity Vine had advanced once.

Thinking about it, the power of the Thorn Technique should also have strengthened.

This day.

Qin Ming summoned Wu Jiang.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I am going to Vast Sea Immortal City for some errands."

"This trip may be as short as three to five days, as long as ten days to half a month."

"Please take care of Moon Island while I'm away."

"With the spectators outside having already retreated, as long as you don't leave the island, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Having said that, Qin Ming took out several bags of Spirit Beast Meat and a bottle of Spirit Feeding Pill from his storage pouch and handed them to Wu Jiang.

Afterwards.

He looked back towards the Cave Mansion.

A more than two-meter-long black-golden Profound Water Crocodile came running out.

Its aura had already reached the Late-stage Tier One.

This was the result of Qin Ming's persistent feeding with Spirit Feeding Pill and Demon Beast Meat over the past six months.

Of course, after obtaining the Entry for [Beast Taming Technique], Qin Ming immediately used a secret method to sign a Master-Servant Contract with the Profound Water Crocodile.

From then on, this Profound Water Crocodile regarded him as its master.

Wu Jiang was frightened pale by this sudden scene.

"Fellow Daoist Qin... this is..."

Qin Ming smiled, "Fellow Daoist Wu, don't be afraid, this is my beast pet, the Profound Water Crocodile; it will guard Moon Island with you while I am away."

"With it as your helper, you can safely be without worries."

"Just remember to feed it some Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Feeding Pill daily."

Wu Jiang trembled hearing this: "What happens if I forget to feed?"

"It will find something to eat on its own."

"Ah?!"

...

Having instructed Wu Jiang thoroughly.

Qin Ming then left Moon Island.

On the island now, with both the Profound Water Crocodile and Six-winged Frost Bee guarding, nothing should go wrong.

He first piloted the Spiritual Light Shuttle to Qingxia Island.

Because when purchasing the Spirit Seed for Spirit Nesting Rice, Qin Ming had promised Mo Lingwei that if he successfully cultivated Spirit Nesting Rice, he would give her fifty pounds.

This time, even with the extremely low yield of Tier Two Spirit Rice, Qin Ming's three acres of Spirit Nesting Rice still yielded over twelve hundred pounds in total.

Fifty pounds meant nothing to him, just a drop in the bucket.

Qin Ming sent a message to Mo Lingwei, and just as he arrived at the mountain gate of Qingxia Island.

Mo Lingwei and several elders of the Mo Family all came out to greet him.

Besides, Duan Haishan and Tang Feng, who rented the other two mountain peaks on Qingxia Island, also came.

They probably heard the news.

Qin Ming had important matters to tend to and definitely couldn't stay long there.

He directly took out fifty pounds of Spirit Nesting Rice and handed it to Mo Lingwei, saying, "Mo Lingwei, I have fulfilled my promise, and our transaction is complete."

Before Mo Lingwei could speak.

Duan Haishan, who was also a Spirit Plant Master, was excited upon witnessing the true appearance of Spirit Nesting Rice:

"Fellow Daoist Qin indeed has great skill, truly cultivating this rice; I admire you greatly!"

Tang Feng's expression as he watched Qin Ming was also quite complex.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, I knew I didn't misjudge you." Mo Lingwei was also filled with excitement upon receiving the Spirit Nesting Rice.

It's been so many years.

Spirit Nesting Rice was cultivated again; surely the old ancestor resting beneath would be gratified.

"Well, since this matter is settled, I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Having said that, Qin Ming cupped his hands towards everyone and left.

Mo Lingwei's beautiful eyes, watching Qin Ming's departing figure, showed a rare and complex look.
