Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

"This intelligence is crucial. You did very well."

Qin Ming put away the jade scroll in his hand, very satisfied with Baili Hui’s efficiency.

Immediately, he took out some Spiritual Pills and resources that could boost cultivation from his storage pouch and rewarded Baili Hui with them.

"These Spirit Medicines and resources are enough for you to cultivate back to the Divinity Transformation Stage. From now on you don’t need to run around outside. During this period, let Mo Lingwei handle the remaining matters."

"Once you’ve restored your cultivation, it’ll be easier for you to work for me."

Baili Hui accepted Qin Ming’s reward, so excited he was overjoyed. "Thank you for the reward, Master! I definitely won’t let you down!"

After so many years, he had finally waited until the day he could return to the Divinity Transformation Realm!!

However.

In the midst of his joy, Baili Hui suddenly remembered something.

He instantly calmed down and reported to Qin Ming, "Right, Master, when Senior Cloud-Fishing Elder and I were returning from Celestial Star City, I heard him say someone was secretly tailing and coveting..."

"He asked me if you’ve offended anyone recently."

"Could it be that fellow Jiang Tian from Celestial Star City? But from what I’ve heard lately, he’s already been stripped of his Star Guard position by Elder Jiang and exiled to be confined and guard the Scripture Pavilion..."

"Someone coveting me?"

Qin Ming pondered slightly when he heard this. To have such strength and still avoid Cloud-Fishing Elder’s easy detection, eight or nine times out of ten it had to be that disciple of Divine Monarch Lingtian.

He was clearly already keeping a low profile, but it couldn’t be helped—he was simply too exceptional.

"It should be that purple-robed burly man who was together with Jiang Tian."

At these words, Baili Hui’s expression also turned somewhat ugly.

"So it’s Divine Monarch Lingtian pulling the strings behind the scenes... that’s a bit troublesome."

Qin Ming immediately instructed him, "When Mo Lingwei comes back, have her secretly investigate how long Divine Monarch Lingtian has lived..."

"Ah? Master, why are you investigating his lifespan?" Baili Hui asked in confusion.

Qin Ming said mildly, "I’ll just stay on Little Turtle Peak and not go out. Worst case, I’ll outlive him..."

Baili Hui: "..."

...

...

Inside Celestial Star City.

Within the circular Array built of white jade platforms, a burst of silver light suddenly flared. As the radiance converged, a battle-damaged golden Dharma Ship appeared at the foot of the long steps of the Heaven-Holding Hall.

Several people disembarked from the Dharma Ship one after another. Leading them was a Silver Armor Star Guard with a stern face—none other than Yao Tiannan.

After more than ten years, they had finally returned from carrying out their mission in the Netherworld Abyss.

The Bronze Star Guards stationed here hurriedly saluted and let them pass.

"We respectfully welcome Lord Yao back!!"

"Mm."

Yao Tiannan’s eyes did not stray to the sides, and the murderous aura on him had grown a few degrees stronger, making those few Bronze Star Guards involuntarily shudder...

However, their Star Guard Squad had seven or eight members when they set out, and now only half had returned.

It could be imagined how grave the situation had become with the Underworld’s Netherworld ghosts invading—even Divinity Transformation Stage Star Guards went and never came back.

Yao Tiannan led his Star Guards through the Heaven-Holding Hall, skillfully making his way to the rear hall.

Yet to his surprise, inside the study, besides Elder Lin in blue robes, there also stood a golden-haired old man.

This person was his revered master—Master Yuhan.

The two seemed to be discussing something.

"Subordinate pays respects to Elder Lin. We have completed the mission and come to report!"

"Disciple greets Master!"

The two Void Refining Elders in the side hall were also quite gratified to see Yao Tiannan return.

"Tiannan, you’re back? Dispense with the formalities."

"You all did very well this time. We already received the battle reports you sent."

"For this round of merit and reward, there will be an opportunity to enter Spirit Cleansing Mountain to cultivate. You must make the most of it."

Hearing Elder Lin’s words, even Yao Tiannan’s usually stiff face showed a rare ripple of emotion.

Because the Spiritual Qi infusion from the Spirit Cleansing Pool, combined with Divine Power Enlightenment—if his luck was good—it might even let him break through one more Small Realm and hope to reach Divinity Transformation Perfection.

Such a chance only came once, back when he first became a Star Guard Captain.

Normally, unless one rendered extremely great service, it was impossible.

But their squad’s expedition to the Netherworld Abyss had indeed earned a major merit, hence the reward from the upper echelons.

"Many thanks, Elder Lin!" Yao Tiannan cupped his hands in thanks.

Just then.

Master Yuhan to the side moved his gaze slightly and said to him, "Oh right, Tiannan, in two months Elder Lin will be giving a public lecture in Celestial Star City. At that time he’ll invite some Human Race cultivators with potential to come listen. This is an entry command token. I’ve heard that you have a good relationship with that Loose Cultivator surnamed Lii on Little Turtle Peak—he serves as logistics in your squad, yes? Pass this on to him for me."

With that, a white jade command token appeared in Master Yuhan’s hand. He flicked his finger and it landed directly in front of Yao Tiannan.

"Yes, Master!"

Yao Tiannan received the Spirit Talisman with utmost respect, feeling a burst of surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Lii... he..."

"You still don’t know? A few years ago he already broke through to the Tier Six Pill God Realm. Such talent is extremely precious for the Human Race." Elder Lin explained mildly.

"You brat really have good fortune. Who knows where you dug up such a cultivator with such high Alchemy Mastery. If you can persuade him to join Celestial Star City’s official roster, I’ll record another major merit for you!"

Hearing this, Yao Tiannan was completely stunned.

"What?! A Tier Six Pill God?"

"Could it be that he really managed to research that Tier Six Pill Formula from the auction?"
