Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

On Wangyue Island, as all the cultivators had mostly arrived.

Qin Ming took the stage briefly and spoke a few words, then began the celebratory banquet.

All the cultivators present shouted their congratulations to ’True Monarch Wangyue,’ and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Immediately after.

Various immortal mansion delicacies, as well as spirit wine, spirit fruits, were placed on the tables.

These were all personally cultivated and brewed by Qin Ming.

At the Foundation Establishment Stage table, there was an immediate burst of exclamations.

"Wow! Aren’t these the renowned Tier Two Spirit Nesting Rice and Rice Flower Spirit Fish? It’s said that just a bite can enhance one’s mana cultivation, greatly benefiting us at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Master Wangyue is truly generous, willing to use such spirit rice to entertain guests, coming here to celebrate is indeed a great fortune."

"And this Jade Qilin Wine! Drinking it can also enhance cultivation."

"True Monarch Wangyue is indeed extraordinary. While others use grand ceremonies to accept gifts and make money, he uses spiritual treasures to entertain us. It was truly worth the trip."

"He is indeed a model for our Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm."

"By the way, can I pack some of this spirit rice?"

"..."

At the Foundation Establishment Stage table, the cultivators had already started devouring the spirit rice and spirit wine like a whirlwind, and some even broke through their bottlenecks on the spot...

In the future, these would become legendary tales within the Cultivation Realm.

...

...

At the Golden Core Stage table, there was arranged Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, Rice Flower Spirit Fish, and Jade Qilin Wine.

Even the Golden Core Masters of various cultivation realms usually do not have the opportunity to enjoy such high-tier spirit rice.

So at this moment, they put aside their dignity, opened their bellies, and ate heartily.

Missing such an opportunity, who knows when there might be another chance like this.

Just then.

"Hey, hey, hey! You all take it easy! Everyone is limited to five bowls. This Tier Three Spirit Rice ripens only once every ten years; it is very precious and not easy to cultivate."

Such high-tier spirit rice was naturally supplied in limited quantities.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, with a serving spoon in hand, trailed by two members of the Wu Family, carried a large bucket of jade-like Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, emanating a fragrant aroma.

At this moment, it was serving rice to a group of Golden Core Cultivators.

While speaking, the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s gaze fell upon one particular table, and then it quickly called the Wu Family cultivators behind it to follow over.

Upon arriving at the table, it lowered its voice and said:

"Heh heh heh! Fellow Daoist Nalan, Fellow Daoist Guu, feel free to eat. If it’s not enough, just call me to refill."

The Golden Cores: "..."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, while serving rice, kept glancing around beyond the Spirit Island, seemingly waiting for someone’s arrival.

...

At the Nascent Soul Stage seating, Qin Ming had arranged for Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice and Demon Flame Wine.

"This Demon Flame Wine was personally brewed by me, Fellow Daoists, please give it a try. It was made using the demon pill of a late-stage Tier Three Demon Beast."

After tasting it, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were deeply entranced by its profundity, unable to express the richness of this spirit brew in words.

"This is truly excellent wine! I never thought Fellow Daoist Qin knew how to brew spirit wine. Forgive my impudence, but do you have any extra? I would like to trade for a few vats," True Monarch Wanbao couldn’t help but inquire after drinking.

Apparently, he was the first to discern some of the subtleties within.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Wanbao, this wine was brewed over more than a decade and upon first tasting by a late-stage Golden Core, it can immediately break through bottlenecks to reach the Golden Core Perfection Realm," Qin Ming explained with a smile, "Thus, my stock is limited, and I may have to disappoint you."

Hearing this, Master Lihuo quickly set down the half-drunk spirit wine in his hand, lamenting, "Ah?! This Demon Flame Wine has such miraculous effects?"

"This kind of spirit wine is just a culinary delight for us, but for disciples under us, it is an invaluable rare spiritual object!"

Fostering another cultivator to Golden Core Perfection carries extraordinary significance for a sect.

Soon after, Master Lihuo, disregarding the dignity of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs, quietly poured the remaining half cup of spirit wine into a jade bottle and put it away without a word...

As if nothing had happened.

Following his lead, the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs also followed suit, each quietly storing the spirit wine in their jade bottles...

This bizarre scene left Qin Ming speechless.

It seems these people are very protective of their disciples, even unwilling to drink the spirit wine themselves, and intending to bring it back for them.

Qin Ming only brought out two more vats of Jade Qilin Wine for them, as the gifts from the True Monarchs were indeed substantial.

He couldn’t entertain them too poorly.

The atmosphere on Wangyue Island was lively and jubilant, filled with sounds of celebration and laughter.

This Nascent Soul Ceremony, destined to be recorded in history, naturally had scribes documenting the event on the spot.

"Just the Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone, there are four attending the ceremony to congratulate, Master Wangyue truly has broad connections and impressive presence."

As this scribe cultivator was recording.

Coo! Coo! Coo!

From above Wangyue Island, came a series of long, ethereal avian cries.

The cultivators on the island were all drawn toward this sound.

To the amazement of all, three vibrant Cyan Feathered Flying Simurghs, each exuding the aura of a Tier Three Late-Stage Great Demon, pulled a Spirit Pattern Silk Canopy Treasure Vehicle, making their way onto the island.

The vehicle emitted a formidable aura, even causing the Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the main peak to have serious expressions, their faces unwittingly changing.

After familiarizing.

The Cyan Simurgh Treasure Vehicle stopped in mid-air above the main peak.

"Three Cyan Simurghs pulling the carriage, truly impressive! Whose Nascent Soul True Monarch’s vehicle might this be?"

Everyone held their breath, intensely curious, all eyes fixed on the carriage in the sky.

The next moment.

The Spirit Pattern Silk Canopy was lifted, and a young man in a green robe emerged from within.

Upon seeing this person, Master Lihuo was momentarily stunned, then blurted out, "Fellow Daoist Cold Crow?"

He was also puzzled; the grand entrance of Cold Crow Ascendant was exceedingly attention-grabbing, even overshadowing the Nascent Souls attending the banquet.

Cold Crow Ascendant gave a rueful smile.

But before he could speak, the Spirit Pattern Silk Canopy was lifted again, and a noblewoman in a palace gown and a towering man stepped out.

The appearance of these two instantly froze the atmosphere on the entire Wangyue Island; an intimidating Spiritual Pressure seemed to want to crush and engulf everyone.

"The Silver Moon Celestial Fox Royal Race, Silver Moon Demon Saint is here to celebrate and congratulate True Monarch Wangyue on achieving Great Success in Nascent Soul, another step further on the Immortal Dao."

"The Mountain Giant Ape Royal Race, Demon Saint Gushan is here to offer congratulations, I have long revered the name of True Monarch Wangyue."

Then, Cold Crow Ascendant could only meekly follow, saying, "Cold Crow Ascendant of Great Zhou Xuanqing Temple, here to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin on his advancement to Nascent Soul."

As the words fell.

Boom!

A frenzy erupted among the crowd below.

"It’s actually the Demon Race Great Saints!!"

"Why have they come to True Monarch Wangyue’s Nascent Soul Ceremony?"

"This is terrifying..."

Many cultivators had already begun to tremble.

The several Nascent Souls present also noticed the two Great Demons, but when their gazes landed on Demon Saint Gushan.

They instinctively went on high alert, breaking out in a cold sweat!

A Tier Four Mid-Stage Shapeshifting Great Demon!

Even their combined strength might not be a match for it...

If this Demon Saint Gushan were to start a massacre here, not one person might be able to stop him.

Master Lihuo could only lament internally; he never imagined that Cold Crow Ascendant, who rarely comes, would bring them such a monumental ’surprise’ upon arrival!

Qin Ming was also somewhat baffled by the situation in front of him.

He was sure he only invited Yue Lingyan, so why did Demon Saint Gushan come along as well?

This Demon Saint, with a bloodline inherited from ancient times, even made him feel a bit on edge.

But Qin Ming reconsidered, Yue Lingyan wouldn’t act without reason, surely she had her motives.

Thus, Qin Ming put on a smile and welcomed the three, saying:

"The three of you have traveled so far, I am most honored, please take a seat."

Between the Demon Race and the Human Race, wars had long erupted frequently, and they were in a state of hostility.

The Human Race, in particular, suffered countless casualties under beast tides.

It’s not an exaggeration to describe them as mortal enemies.

Thus, the arrival of two Tier Four Demon Saints caught everyone present completely off guard.

For a moment, it rendered everyone present quite speechless.

"Cold Crow Old Monster, what on earth are you doing?"

"Why did you bring two Demon Race Great Saints along? Not funny at all, is this some kind of joke?!"

"Could it be that you have betrayed us and sided with the enemy?"

Master Lihuo secretly transmitted to Cold Crow Ascendant.

"You ask me, but who should I ask? Go ask the newly-advanced Fellow Daoist Qin, they are his guests, nothing to do with me! Hmph!" retorted Cold Crow Ascendant, then turned aside, no longer paying attention to him.

Master Lihuo: "..."

The towering Demon Saint Gushan, seeing the tense atmosphere, raised his hand to cast a barrier encompassing everyone, then explained:

"No need to panic, this Saint has not come with ill intentions. I am here today to discuss with everyone the matter of the inter-racial alliance to jointly respond to the Descent Realm situation of the Blood Realm."

"To be honest, the situation with the Demonic Descent Realm has escalated; the scale has expanded, and our Demon Race has suffered greatly, with several major races already slaughtered."

"Your Excellency, a Tier Four Mid-Stage Demon Saint, cannot possibly have no means against these Blood Realm Golden Core Demonic Cultivators, right?" queried True Monarch Ghostly Sand from the West Nether Cultivation Realm, somewhat skeptically and mockingly.

Demon Saint Gushan was not angered by this; instead, he calmly explained, "In the depths of the Beast Roar Mountain Range, Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs have already descended, and I believe it won’t be long before, as the convergence of the realms expands, the West Nether, East Sea, Northern Cold, Southern Wilderness, and other cultivation realms will face the same situation."

"After all, the Blood Realm not only has a Blood Refining Demon Sect but also several Divinity Transformation Sects."

"What?!"

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs present were all shocked upon hearing this news.

If a Nascent Soul Demon Monarch can descend, this is not good news.

A Tier Four Mid-Stage Demon Saint would not lie about such a significant matter.

Qin Ming was also immediately alert in his heart; he had even killed the Blood Refining Demon Sect’s Saint Child, and if the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch successfully descended, that would indeed be quite troublesome.

"Has the situation developed into such a severe state?" True Monarch Dragon Wood asked, frowning.

"In this case, it seems none of us present can remain aloof."

"Heh, heh! This Fellow Daoist is absolutely right, if not for the significant friendship between True Monarch Wangyue and our tribe’s Fellow Daoist Silver Moon, this negotiation for an inter-racial alliance would have been nearly impossible; this Great Saint wouldn’t have come otherwise."

Upon these words from Demon Saint Gushan, everyone’s eyes turned towards Qin Ming.

They, too, hadn’t expected that a Human Race cultivator like Qin Ming would have ties with such a powerful Great Demon.
