When Qin Ming was cultivating earlier, a Profound Water Crocodile somehow came over and lay beside him, absorbing the plant essence qi that was dispersing.

It squinted its eyes, its big mouth twitching, looking as if it was in bliss, and its aura became much stronger, not far from breaking through to become a Tier Two Mid-Stage Great Demon.

Qin Ming finished his cultivation, lifted his head, and looked at the Longevity Vine.

He discovered that over a hundred skeleton-shaped purple buds had bloomed on it again.

And there were three golden entries refreshed:

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Weak Lifespan X5 (Maturity 1%)

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Leaf of Space-Time X5 (Maturity 1%)

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Spirit Plant Spirit (Maturity 1%)

[Spirit Plant Spirit]: Can bestow a certain spirituality upon a spirit plant after use.

"It can actually grant spirit plants spirituality!"

"Another fifty years of lifespan." Qin Ming looked at the entries on the Longevity Vine, revealing a slight smile.

It's known that even lifespan-increasing spiritual pills have very limited increases, and if consumed too much, the effects decrease progressively.

But the lifespan entries on his Longevity Vine didn't have this problem; they could infinitely increase lifespan as long as they were used.

"Immortality is within reach!"

"One must also surpass other cultivators in terms of lifespan."

Qin Ming was in a particularly good mood today and fed each of his spirit pets a Dragon Blood Divine Fruit again.

He then gathered his cultivation aura and headed down the island.

Upon reaching below, he found Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jiang tending to the spirit field, where Beast Fang Rice had grown into lush Spirit Rice, covering over ten acres.

It seemed Wu Jiang had made significant progress in growing Spirit Rice.

"Not bad, not bad indeed!"

This also meant that in two years, Qin Ming could collect more rent in Beast Fang Rice.

Upon seeing Qin Ming, Wu Jiang put down his work, walked up to him, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin, how do you find what I've grown?"

"Hmm, not bad. You've done well to grow Beast Fang Rice like this, it's quite commendable." Qin Ming nodded appreciatively.

He then glanced around and asked, puzzled, "Where are your two children?"

"Why aren't they working with you today?"

Hearing this, Wu Jiang's face showed a proud and pleased expression, and he replied animatedly, "A few days ago, I sent them to cultivate at the Thunder Origin Sect."

"Wangfeng was taken as a closed-door disciple by the Great Elder of Thunder Origin Sect, and Wangyue was taken as a disciple by the Third Elder."

Originally, Wu Jiang intended to have both children become Qin Ming's disciples, but unfortunately, he had no intention of accepting students.

As Wu Jiang watched the children grow day by day, he naturally hoped, as any parent would, for his children to excel and find a great master to have a bright future on the path of immortality.

With Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue's gifted spirit roots, they were excellent seedlings for cultivation wherever they went. After much thought, Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jiang sent the children to the Thunder Origin Sect.

Listening to Wu Jiang's words, Qin Ming's brows slightly furrowed. During peaceful and stable times, having the children join an overlord-level sect like the Thunder Origin Sect, which rules a nation, would be fine.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jiang were unaware that conflict between the Spirit Feather Sect and the Thunder Origin Sect was about to escalate, likely making the upcoming times turbulent.

Sending the children to the Thunder Origin Sect at this moment might not be the wisest decision.

If the Thunder Origin Sect won, being disciples of Elders, the kids would receive priority in cultivation resources and training environment.

But if they were defeated, with the Spirit Feather Sect's ruthless nature, they wouldn't spare anyone from opposing sects.

Yet, seeing Wu Jiang's happy demeanor, Qin Ming couldn't bear to reveal the truth.

Since they already joined and found masters, it was too late to change anything now.

'I hope it's not as I fear.'

If the Thunder Origin Sect could stabilize the situation in the Wei Country's cultivation realm, with the talents of these two children, they would eventually become prodigies.

Over the years, Wu Jiang had reaped considerable benefits while farming on Qin Ming's Wangyue Island, his cultivation gradually reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

His partner, Mu Ruyin, also advanced to the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

This was something they never dared to imagine when they left the Mirror Snow Pavilion's Dharma Ship to return to the Spirit Nest Islands, yet now it had become reality.

After the recent chaos on Qianye Spirit Island, the clan leader Wu Hanyuan led a portion of the family back to White Rock Island.

After all, White Rock Island was their foundation, and they needed to return to rebuild it.

Qin Ming, considering Wu Jiang had followed him for years, had promised them refuge here during turbulent times.

Now, leaving a portion of spirit farmers for farming sufficed.

...

Qin Ming returned to the main peak.

"Hmm, today's breakthrough calls for a grand celebration!" A smile appeared on his face.

He then went into the Purple Gold Bamboo Forest, retrieving his Spiritual Hoe to dig at the spot where he had previously buried the concoction of 'Spirit Fire Wine'.

Moments later, he retrieved two jars of Spirit Fire Wine, leaving the rest buried to age.

"Hopefully, it successfully brewed this time!"

It's noteworthy that Spirit Fire Wine was crafted using the raw materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

With a tap on the jar, Qin Ming opened the seal.

Immediately, a hazy, spiritual essence wafted out from the jar.

A rich aroma of spirit wine assailed his nostrils, invigorating Qin Ming.

Just the scent of it was intoxicating.

"The brew is a success!"

With joy on his face, Qin Ming lifted the jar and drank directly.

"Indeed, superb wine!" Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with light.

As he drank, a uniquely rich aroma of spirit wine resonated in his throat, followed by a warm flow through his body, slightly enhancing his mana.

However, this Spirit Fire Wine is intended to boost the mana cultivation at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment. For Qin Ming, now at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, the effect on his mana growth was negligible.

Yet, the unique taste and flavor of this Spirit Fire Wine would be deemed a holy grail among those passionate about the path of wine.

Qin Ming sat leisurely by himself in the Purple Gold Bamboo Forest for a while, savoring the spirit wine, then started to browse through the book of "Wine Immortal Divine Formula".

He found his way to the chapter on 'Jade Qilin Wine,' which possesses a uniquely rich rationality in boosting cultivation.

According to the senior wine immortal who crafted this divine formula, Jade Qilin Wine is a unique Jadescent Nectar of the cultivation realm that even he highly recommended.

Coincidentally, Qin Ming found that he had the rare ingredients needed for Jade Qilin Wine; even though they are incredibly scarce, they were among his collections.

"Currently, my mana cultivation has broken through the mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

"To achieve the second transformation in the 'Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture', I need Demon Beast Essence Blood. Low-quality Demon Beast Essence Blood, I rather not use, I'll need to come up with a way."

As he pondered, a message came through the Communication Talisman he received.

Reading it, Qin Ming saw that it was from Aunt Long of the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, there's news about the high-tier Demon Beast Essence Blood and Tier Three Spirit Plant Spirit Seed you previously entrusted the Pavilion Master to look out for."
