Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

"Hahaha! It’s actually Fellow Daoist Qin who has arrived!"

"Truly an esteemed guest! Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Upon seeing Qin Ming, Master Lihuo immediately flashed a smile and bowed slightly.

"I’ve heard Fellow Daoist Qin has important matters to discuss. What might they be?"

"No worries, I simply happened upon this by chance." Qin Ming flicked the Memory Jade Slip in his hand, tossing it to the other party, then said directly, "Fellow Daoist Lihuo, take a look at this and you’ll understand."

Immediately.

Master Lihuo took the Memory Jade Slip and examined it, instantly his expression became extremely serious.

Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this intelligence is extremely important. A void anomaly of this scale likely means a Demon Monarch is about to descend."

"This intelligence came at just the right time. If we let it descend successfully, it will surely lead to widespread devastation."

"Oh? Is the scale of such a void rift passage already this large?" Qin Ming asked in response.

Master Lihuo nodded and said, "Indeed, typically small-scale void anomalies only have one void rift, with a range of about one or two feet. These can allow for Demonic Cultivators below the Golden Core Stage to descend through these rifts. However, void passages exceeding three feet allow Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs to descend unharmed."

"I see. Then how is the situation in Great Jin right now?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

Master Lihuo did not conceal anything from him, "Alas! To be frank, Fellow Daoist Qin, the current situation is not optimistic. This is a major convergence between two realms, of considerable scale, and is estimated to last at least a century. Furthermore, the overall strength of the Blood Realm slightly surpasses ours in the Human Realm."

"Moreover, what our Central Continent Cultivation Realm faces is the most powerful Blood Refining Demon Sect, and the pressure is truly immense."

"Weren’t we previously negotiating with the Demon Race to join forces?" Qin Ming asked.

"Joining forces with the Demon Race did alleviate some of the pressure from the Demonic invasion. However, even with the two races working together, both the Human Race and the Demon Race remain wary and defensive of each other, due to deep-seated grievances over many years. Genuine cooperation seems impossible," Master Lihuo explained.

"Plus, the pressure wouldn’t be much lighter on the Demon Race’s side either. Within the Beast Roar Mountain Range, according to current intelligence, several Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs have successfully descended."

"But recently, there’s good news, thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin. Demon Saint Gushan and Silver Moon Demon Saint have already persuaded other major Demon Beast Races to prepare for deeper collaboration with our Human Race, planning a grand strategy to exterminate demons, scheduled to take place half a month from now. Fellow Daoist Qin, if you’re available, you’re welcome to join."

Qin Ming pondered for a while, but instead of responding directly, he asked another question, "Is there any way to resolve the void anomaly? I attempted once, but found that ordinary means seem unable to destroy it."

"Naturally, there is a way, and it’s also a method left behind by the sages. However, it involves matters at the void level, and the cost is rather high."

"We must completely sever the confluence of spiritual energies between the two realms."

"Fellow Daoist Qin need not worry. Since you’ve discovered the void anomaly, I will naturally send someone to resolve this hidden danger."

"That’s for the best." Qin Ming nodded.

Master Lihuo then took out another jade slip and handed it to Qin Ming, explaining, "Contained within are the methods for eliminating the void anomaly, as well as the need to create an item called ’Shadow Splitting Stone’ which can disrupt and sever the void rift. However, the materials for this involve void attributes, and are difficult to gather."

After some exchange, Master Lihuo expressed his intention to enlist Qin Ming into the Guardian Dao Alliance to jointly resist the invasion from the Descent Realm.

But Qin Ming politely declined, as he only wished to quietly farm, being a Loose Cultivator, and did not want to get entangled in these major powers.

He had always kept a respectful distance from such troublesome matters.

Then, he took the opportunity to inquire with Master Lihuo about the spiritual materials needed to cultivate Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice.

After all, as the head of the first major cultivation sect in Great Jin, he likely had some of these spiritual objects in his possession.

"I happen to have a small bottle of Profound Yellow Essence Qi here, but as for the other spiritual materials Fellow Daoist Qin mentioned, I truly do not have them," Master Lihuo said, taking out an ancient jade bottle.

Qin Ming’s face showed a slight joy, finding something here that he couldn’t find even after turning over the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Lihuo, what would you like in exchange?" Qin Ming asked immediately.

"Hehe! I’ve been eyeing Fellow Daoist Qin’s Demon Flame Wine and Jade Emperor Spirit Rice for quite some time! Could you spare some for me?" Master Lihuo said, with a meaningful smile.

"Profound Yellow Essence Qi falls under the category of Tier Four Spiritual Objects, only produced in the Land of the Underworld where yin and yang converge. This bottle is the only stock we have in Lihuo Palace."

After some haggling, Qin Ming exchanged a half-vat of Demon Flame Wine and some Jade Emperor Spirit Rice for the Profound Yellow Essence Qi.

"So where does Fellow Daoist Qin plan to head next? If you’re going to Great Jin, I would naturally host you for a bit," Master Lihuo said as he stored away the Demon Flame Wine and Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, feeling quite pleased.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming suddenly remembered someone, perhaps he didn’t need to go all the way to the East Sea Cultivation Realm, and could instead gather the necessary items.

So Qin Ming asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Lihuo know the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Cold Crow?"
