Qin Ming just thought of it casually.

He quickly dismissed the idea; encountering a Golden Core Master isn't that easy.

However, obtaining such a rare level of entry made him very pleased.

Qin Ming put the ripened two stalks of Five-Colored Rice and two stalks of Red Silver Yellow Hemp into his storage pouch, cleaning up the traces in the Spirit Field.

Then he returned to the Cool Small Residence.

In the Quiet Chamber in the courtyard.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the mat.

In the Cultivation Realm, even if you always remain cautious, when disasters strike, you still can't avoid them.

Only by improving one's own strength can one walk further on the Immortal Dao.

He first ate a bowl of already cooked Top-Grade Blood Locust Rice, circulating the Qi Blood several times.

Then, with a thought, he used a [Qi Blood Crystal] entry.

Bang!

Suddenly, terrifying Qi Blood poured down like torrential rain.

Qin Ming couldn't help but let out a soft grunt.

He quickly began to refine the Qi Blood using the Cultivation Technique of the "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture".

The Qi Blood contained within this [Qi Blood Crystal] far exceeded the boost provided by Blood Locust Rice.

Gradually.

The Qi Blood Power in Qin Ming's body, which was already quite solid, accumulated to a peak.

It began to change qualitatively!

Bang!

Accompanied by a ringing in Qin Ming's mind.

The Qi Blood around his body was compressed to the extreme, and a brand-new power was born within him.

Qi Blood Transformation!

The glazed treasure robe originally formed by Qi Blood Power.

At the moment he broke through the seventh layer of the "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture", it also underwent a qualitative change.

It transformed into a 'glazed armor' condensed by True Qi Blood Spirit.

The dharma-defying effect was elevated to a whole new height, making it difficult for spells below the Foundation Establishment Stage to penetrate this layer of armor.

Through the transformation of True Qi Blood Spirit, Qin Ming's physical strength and power were also greatly enhanced.

Having stepped into this realm, his current strength far exceeds others of the same level, and even among cultivators who have achieved Body Refining Perfection, he has few rivals.

Qin Ming excitedly stood up, took out the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, Cyan Nether Sword, infused it with mana, and tried to stab his own skin.

The Cyan Nether Sword Qi brushed past, but he remained unscathed!

"Just the physical strength alone is comparable to a Top-Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact!"

Plus the protection of True Qi Blood Spirit.

Now even an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage would struggle to deal with him.

Having stepped into the later stage of Body Refining, while he cannot claim to be invincible in the market, he is more than capable of self-defense.

As his strength boomed, Qin Ming felt the immense power within him, realizing he was completely different from before.

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes. He clenched his hand, and a three-inch layer of True Qi Blood Spirit emerged on his fist.

A punch with this could hardly be withstood by someone at Qi Cultivation Perfection.

Qin Ming stabilized his realm and began to ponder the next cultivation plan.

He had now completed the seventh layer of the "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture", transforming Qi Blood Power into True Qi Blood Spirit.

Moving forward, he aims to cultivate this technique to the 9th Layer Perfection, achieving the state of True Gang manifestation.

By then, solely relying on Body Refining Technique, he can rival early-stage Foundation Establishment.

In the days that followed.

Qin Ming consumed the remaining four [Qi Blood Crystal] entries, causing the True Qi Blood Spirit in his body to surge again.

He was now just halfway to breaking through to the eighth layer of the "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture".

He then used the five [Weak Lifespan] entries.

Instantly.

An indescribable Power of Time mysteriously descended upon Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's lifespan instantly increased by fifty years, plus the Longevity Technique he practiced offered some longevity and vitality extension.

This means that even in the Qi Cultivation Stage, he now has a lifespan of more than 160 years.

The passing of time and the rotation of seasons are the rules of the universe.

Such power is beyond the reach of even high-tier cultivators.

The higher the realm a cultivator reaches, the greater their desire for lifespan.

Many cultivators fail to surpass the barrier of lifespan before their time is up, regretting it for life.

On the market, pills that increase lifespan are often unavailable, and the lifespan they add is extremely limited.

Qin Ming opened his eyes, feeling the transformation, and was immensely pleased.

With such a long lifespan, he now has enough time to pursue higher realms.

Half a month later.

Qin Ming visited Juxuan Pavilion again, seeking the latest news from Gu Qingzhao.

He learned from her that the benefits obtained by the Spirit Feather Sect and the Golden Cloud Valley in the Yunze Wilderness had spread throughout Wei Country.

Now, all sorts of characters were gathering at Qingyang Market.

Not just Hundred Flowers Sect, but other forces on par with Spirit Feather Sect had also begun to surface.

Some smaller forces were observing from the shadows, not showing themselves yet.

In the Cultivation Realm, the status and level of a sect are determined not by the resources or the talent of its disciples, nor by the number of mid-level cultivators it has.

But rather by the cultivation realm of the sect's strongest cultivator.

For example, in Wei Country, where Qin Ming is, sects like Spirit Feather Sect, Golden Cloud Valley, and Hundred Flowers Sect are considered second-tier sects.

Because the highest cultivation level in these sects is the Fake Pill Stage.

Therefore.

Based on the information Gu Qingzhao shared with Qin Ming, it's likely that there is a larger force maneuvering the current turmoil from behind the scenes.

Otherwise.

The Spirit Feather Sect would not allow other forces to freely come into their territory.

This is precisely why.

After acquiring a Tier Three Spirit Vein, Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley did not immediately fall out with each other but chose to cooperate and quietly make a fortune together.

However, the number of recruited loose cultivators was just too many.

No matter how they tried to keep it a secret, in the end, it couldn't be hidden.

...

Leaving Juxuan Pavilion.

Qin Ming walked on the main road of Qingyang Market.

Suddenly, a heated argument erupted in front of him.

He glanced from afar and saw a group of Hundred Flowers Valley cultivators confronting Golden Cloud Valley cultivators.

Both sides seemed quite angry, and had they not been within the market, where restraint is required, they would probably have already drawn weapons against each another.

Qin Ming didn't pay much more attention and quickened his steps to leave.

Once back in the courtyard.

He directed Spiritual Rain on the Spirit Grass in the medicine field and fed a Spirit Feeding Pill to the group of Four-winged Frost Bees.

He was about to return to his cultivation when suddenly.

There was a knock at his courtyard door.

He went over, peeked out, and quickly opened the door.

It turned out to be his neighbor, the eldest of the Fengg Brothers, Fellow Daoist Fengg Yuan.

At this moment, he was covered in injuries, bandaged, with several alarming scars on his bald head, his right arm missing, his complexion ashen, and he appeared utterly lost.

"Fengg... Fellow Daoist Fengg, what happened to you?" Qin Ming hurriedly invited him into the living room to sit and poured him a glass of water.

Fengg Yuan didn't drink the water, sitting dazed for a while.

He then looked at Qin Ming and muttered lowly, "This time exploring the ruins for treasure, Fellow Daoist Huang, Fellow Daoist Yann, and... my brother Fengg Fan, they've all perished..."
