Qin Ming was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Brother Su, if it's within my ability, I'll agree to anything."
Su Yuqing, seeing Qin Ming so readily agreeable, revealed a playful smile. He took out five fruit pits from his Storage Bag and handed them over, then said, "Help me plant these. When the fruits ripen, I'll only take three; the rest are yours. I trust this won't be too difficult for Brother Qin, will it?"
Qin Ming took the pearl-sized fruit pits and examined them closely. He frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Isn't this the Spirit Seed of the Second-Rank Spirit Plant Divine Essence Fruit?"
He hadn't expected Su Yuqing to even get his hands on Second-Rank Spirit Plant Spirit Seeds.
"Indeed, Brother Qin is truly a Spirit Plant Master of exceptional talent. You can recognize this Spirit Plant at a glance just from the Spirit Seed." Su Yuqing nodded.
Qin Ming asked in confusion, "Brother Su, you are about to leave this place. How will I deliver the Spirit Fruits to you when they mature?"
"You can entrust Daoist Friend Gu of Mirror Snow Pavilion to deliver them on your behalf, or if you have the chance, you can come to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty to find me." After Su Yuqing finished speaking, he gave him a Map Jade Slip.
Qin Ming took the Jade Slip and nodded, agreeing.
For him, planting Second-Rank Spirit Plants now was not considered a difficult task.
"Brother Qin, what are your plans for the future? With your talent, staying here is truly a waste." Su Yuqing suddenly asked.
Qin Ming thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to first advance to a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master, and then break away from the Spirit Feather Sect's Corvée. As for the rest, I'll see."
"Mm, I also plan to return and find a way to deal with Foundation Establishment matters, otherwise, I won't be able to Breakthrough to become a Second-Order Pill Refiner." Su Yuqing nodded and said.
Foundation Establishment?
A trace of envy welled up in Qin Ming's heart.
Qin Ming curiously asked, "Is Foundation Establishment related to Breakthrough to become a Second-Order Pill Refiner?"
"Of course, to refine Second-Order Pills, you must use the Innate True Fire of the Foundation Establishment Stage." Su Yuqing explained concisely.
Qin Ming suddenly understood.
Immediately, Qin Ming took out a bag of one hundred pounds of Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice from his Storage Bag and handed it to Su Yuqing. "Brother Su, as we are parting, I don't have much to give you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Su Yuqing took the bag and opened it to take a look. Immediately, a rich Spirit Qi rushed towards him.
"Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice!"
Su Yuqing grabbed a handful of Spirit Rice and gently rubbed it, joyfully saying, "I didn't expect such a generous gift from Brother Qin, then I shall accept it without ceremony."
Qin Ming smiled. Compared to the Dao of Alchemy experience the other party had imparted, this bit of Spirit Rice was nothing much.
"Alright, it's getting late, and I won't be pretentious. I've already informed the Hall of Affairs, and you can take over my House in the Slum Area at any time."
"Brother Qin, farewell for now. I hope that when we meet again next time, you will already be a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master."
"Brother Su, may the Immortal Path be evergreen."
With that, Su Yuqing cupped his fist towards Qin Ming, then bid farewell and left. Qin Ming watched Su Yuqing leave from afar until the other's figure disappeared.
He saw off this person who was like both a teacher and a friend to him.
…
Green Sun Market.
Qin Ming came to Gathering Pavilion once again.
Shopkeeper Liao had long known that today was the harvest day for Spirit Rice.
He specially changed into a very festive red brocade robe and waited at the shop entrance, looking around expectantly.
When he saw Qin Ming arrive, a warm smile immediately filled his face, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you've finally arrived."
Qin Ming smiled slightly, "Didn't the Spirit Rice just ripen? I came right away, after all, I signed an Agreement with your Pavilion."
"Good, good, good! Haha!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please come with me, our Pavilion Lord wants to personally receive you." Shopkeeper Liao welcomed him.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming followed Shopkeeper Liao's footsteps and arrived at the Seventh Floor Private Room of Gathering Pavilion.
Gu Qingzhao also walked out from within the Private Room, her Starry Eyes containing a smile as she said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, your Spirit Plant skills have improved once again!" Qin Ming chuckled, "It's still early, later, after the Trade is concluded, I still have to go to the Hall of Affairs to participate in the advancement Assessment."
"With Fellow Daoist Qin's Talent, the advancement Assessment should not be difficult for you, right?" Gu Qingzhao rarely revealed a smile.
"Come, Fellow Daoist Qin, let me invite you to try some newly arrived High-Rank Spirit Mist Tea."
This time, Shopkeeper Liao was not in a hurry to leave either, probably also wanting to see what Fine Quality Beast Fang Rice looked like.
He personally brewed tea and poured water for the two of them.
After a few words of pleasantries, Qin Ming also knew that Gu Qingzhao was probably getting impatient, so he took out the Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice and placed it in the center of the Room, a total of six large bags.
Gu Qingzhao's beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she got up and opened one of the bags of Spirit Rice.
Instantly, the misty Spirit Qi reflected on her cheeks, and the rich Spirit Qi was refreshing to the heart and lungs.
She murmured in surprise, "This… this isn't Fine Quality Beast Fang Rice."
"It's… Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice!"
Shopkeeper Liao also hurriedly leaned in for a look, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
After a long while.
Qin Ming spoke, "There are six hundred Jin in total, I kept over a hundred Jin for myself."
"Daoist Friend Gu, please inspect it."
Shopkeeper Liao then recovered from his shock, took out a Large Measuring Artifact, weighed everything, and excitedly said to Gu Qingzhao, "Pavilion Lord! That's right, it's six hundred Jin! A full six hundred Jin of Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice!"
Gradually, Gu Qingzhao's surprised expression turned into delight.
She said to Qin Ming with a smile, "Never would I have imagined that what Fellow Daoist Qin planted this time would actually be Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice, it is this Pavilion that has taken advantage."
"How about this, Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice is extremely rare and rarely seen on the market. I will add some more Spirit Stones."
"We can purchase this batch of Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice at twenty Spirit Stones per Jin."
Qin Ming listened and had no objections, readily nodding in agreement.
Gu Qingzhao's expression filled with joy. With this batch of Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice, her Branch Store of Mirror Snow Pavilion would probably become completely famous in the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness.
"Here are twelve thousand Spirit Stones."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please count them."
Qin Ming lightly coughed. To receive such a large sum of money at once, it would be false to say he wasn't excited.
This was the result of his hard work farming for two years; he didn't know how many times he had cast the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique.
However, he was not in a good place to lose his composure here, so he put on a nonchalant appearance, just casually glanced at it, and said indifferently, "I still trust Daoist Friend Gu's word."
He quickly checked with his Divine Sense, confirmed that there were no errors, and then put the Spirit Stones into his Storage Bag.
Gu Qingzhao's beautiful eyes became even brighter. She took out a purple Jade Token and handed it to Qin Ming, saying, "This is our Mirror Snow Pavilion's High-Level VIP Identity Token. Fellow Daoist Qin is now qualified to possess it."
Qin Ming took the purple Jade Token and asked in confusion, "What is the use of this Identity Token?"
At this time, Shopkeeper Liao stepped forward and explained, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you may not know, this Yellow Grade Snow Character Token is only open to Cultivators recognized by this Pavilion."
"With this Identity Token, you can have priority in mobilizing and purchasing Resources at this Pavilion, and even… confidential Cultivation World intelligence."
"And you can enjoy an 80% discount."
Qin Ming hadn't expected this Identity Token to have such great uses, so he immediately put it away and said to Gu Qingzhao, "Then thank you Daoist Friend Gu, I will accept it without ceremony."
The Trade concluded.
"I still have to go to the Hall of Affairs to participate in the High-Grade Spirit Planter advancement Assessment. Two Fellow Daoists, I'll take my leave first." Qin Ming bid farewell.
Gu Qingzhao smiled gently, "Fellow Daoist Qin's advancement to High-Grade Spirit Planter is such a grand event, I also want to witness it, so I will accompany Fellow Daoist Qin for a while and take a look."
"That's right, High-Grade Spirit Planters are extremely rare existences, I will also go over and broaden my horizons." Shopkeeper Liao also chimed in agreement.
Qin Ming was slightly taken aback, and then laughed, "Since that's the case, then let's go together."
