Cool Small Residence.

The dawn light spills, with a gentle breeze blowing.

Qin Ming glanced through the gifts from neighbors from the previous day, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Cultivation is all about human relationships and worldly affairs!"

When these cultivators make a breakthrough in the future, he would have to return the favor.

Putting away the items, Qin Ming got up and left the room.

He strolled to the courtyard and walked straight towards the corner.

Buzz, buzz, buzz～

After some time, the hive hanging on the Withered Blood Poison Vine had grown significantly larger.

Qin Ming took a closer look, and a hint of surprise emerged in his eyes.

"Why have these Four-winged Frost Bees become so agitated?"

Calming his heart spirit, he used the Bee-Driving Technique to quickly communicate with the queen bee, only to find, to his astonishment, that it had fallen asleep, seemingly in the midst of a breakthrough!

Qin Ming's spirit was invigorated, casually capturing a Frost Bee in his hand to observe it.

He noticed that several purple-striped patterns had appeared on the body of the Four-winged Frost Bee.

All the Frost Bees had grown considerably larger and were undergoing a collective transformation!

It seemed that this native bee swarm from the Yunze Wilderness was about to advance to become Tier One Spirit Insects!

"How did they suddenly advance?" Qin Ming was both surprised and delighted.

"Could it be related to those three Demon Flowers on the Withered Blood Poison Vine?"

After careful and repeated confirmation, he determined that the transformation of the bee swarm was due to the purple Demon Flowers.

The reason was the purple-striped patterns on the Frost Bees were almost identical to those of the purple Demon Flowers.

The queen bee at the center of the hive had grown to the size of a fist, seemingly having gained immense benefits, and its aura had completely advanced to a Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Insect.

Qin Ming contemplated, then with a thought, used up two "Ripening" entries to ripen the three purple Demon Flowers to a fully blossomed state.

A fragrance filled the entire courtyard, enticing and aromatic.

Buzz, buzz, buzz～

The Spirit Bee swarm became even more excited!

Qin Ming decided not to rush in ripening all the flowers of the Withered Blood Poison Vine, wanting to observe changes in the Spirit Bees over the next few days.

"Unexpected gains indeed."

...

By noon.

Qin Ming left the courtyard gate, walking along the streets of Qingyang Market.

He planned to rent Spirit Fields on a Tier Two Spirit Vein.

On the main road.

In surrounding shops, some familiar cultivators greeted Qin Ming warmly.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations! Achieving High-Grade Spirit Plant Master at such a young age!"

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin! Truly a role model among us Loose Cultivators."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Anyone residing in Qingyang Market for a long time warmly congratulated him.

Passing cultivators focused their attention on Qin Ming.

Some cultivators who didn't know Qin Ming began to inquire constantly.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, who is that Fellow Daoist? Is he remarkable?"

"You don't know?"

"Yesterday, among the Spirit Farmers serving in Spirit Feather Sect, a young cultivator from a family achieved a low-key rise, advancing to High-Grade Spirit Plant Master!"

"That Spirit Farmer is Qin Ming, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"His status will soar from here, with boundless prospects on the Immortal Path!"

"Also, I heard that Fellow Daoist Qin has a deep friendship with Great Alchemist Su Yuqing, and in addition to being a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, he is also a Middle-Grade Alchemist!"

"If it weren't for the celebration banquet Qin Ming hosted yesterday at Juxuan Pavilion, no one would have known!"

"It's rare to have such a figure among us Loose Cultivators."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is a model among Spirit Farmers, inspiring that a humble Spirit Farmer can rise step by step to High-Grade Spirit Plant Master! I plan to visit in a few days."

...

On his way, Qin Ming was showered with compliments and congratulations from cultivators without cease.

He felt quite embarrassed.

"This is troublesome! People fear fame just like pigs fear fattening."

"If I get targeted by Tribulation Cultivators, it would be a disaster."

"Sigh! I shouldn't have hosted any gatherings!"

Qin Ming regretted internally.

He first went to Supervisor Du Haifu to terminate the lease for the eight acres of Spirit Fields on a Tier One Spirit Vein.

"Oh, I didn't expect! Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard from the Elder of our sect that you even passed such a difficult assessment."

"Your reputation is now not only in Qingyang Market but has caused a small-scale stir within the Spirit Feather Sect! Haha!"

Despite having an ordinary Spirit Root, at just over twenty years old, reaching High-Grade Spirit Plant Master made him a promising young cultivator.

Qin Ming sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

He wished to keep a low profile but found it impossible.

However, his goal was to become a Tier Two Spirit Plant Master, so this step was inevitable.

Afterward, he completed the lease termination procedures with Du Haifu.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, as a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, you now qualify to rent Spirit Fields on a Tier Two Spirit Vein."

"You can process this directly at the Steward Hall."

"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't forget us on the sect's mountain, visit whenever you're free, hehe!"

Du Haifu, with a plump face, complimented with a smile reminiscent of Maitreya Buddha.

Feelings were mixed within him.

From now on, Qin Ming was no longer under his supervision.

Seeing Du Haifu off.

Qin Ming went to the Steward Hall, stating his purpose.

The Steward responsible for the Tier Two Spirit Field in Spirit Feather Sect also introduced politely.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the Tier Two Spirit Fields are located in the eastern area near Qingyang Market and are divided into Class A, B, C, and D based on proximity to the Spirit Vein center. Tier Two Spirit Fields are relatively scarce, totaling only about one hundred acres."

"Class A Spirit Fields have the best environmental conditions and Spiritual Qi concentration. Besides Spirit Rice taxes, an annual fee of three hundred Spirit Stones per acre is required."

"Class B Spirit Fields are next, requiring two hundred Spirit Stones per acre annually."

"Class C Spirit Fields require one hundred fifty per acre annually, and Class D requires one hundred Spirit Stones per acre annually."

Qin Ming pondered a bit and decided, "Rent me five acres of Class A Spirit Field."

The steward's smile broadened upon hearing this.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Qin, I'll expedite the process for you."

Qin Ming handed over fifteen hundred Spirit Stones to the steward.

The Spirit Feather Sect Steward efficiently completed the Spirit Field lease procedures for him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, here's your Spirit Field lease token, keep it safe."

Qin Ming accepted the token and bade farewell to the Steward Hall.

Eager to see what the Tier Two Spirit Fields were like.

Two incense sticks' time.

Qin Ming arrived at the Tier Two Spirit Fields east of the market.

An idyllic scene of clear springs, lush forests, and serene landscapes greeted him—a hidden world.

The Spiritual Qi here was particularly rich, and Qin Ming inhaled deeply, feeling a vast sense of relaxation and pleasure.

The Spirit Fields cultivated here are all Tier One High-Grade Spirit Plants or higher.

Furthermore, late-stage Qi Cultivators from the Spirit Feather Sect continuously patrolled here in teams.

But after strolling around, he hadn't yet found any fields planted with Tier Two Spirit Plants.

Qin Ming reached the five acres of Class A Spirit Field he rented.

These Spirit Fields were well-prepared, just waiting for him to plant Spirit Plants.

He squatted down, grasping some Spiritual Soil from the field, and examined it keenly.

The soil was exceptionally fertile, perfect for cultivating High-Tier Spirit Plants.

After reflecting for a while, Qin Ming decided on the type of Spirit Plant he would cultivate.

However, he planned to visit Juxuan Pavilion to purchase some Spirit Seeds.
