"Thank you for your kind intentions, Fellow Daoists, but my Cultivation Level is shallow and weak, so I won't be taking such risks."
Qin Ming refused almost without thinking.
He had learned from Gu Qingzhao earlier that the inside information was extraordinary and not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If he was not careful, he could end up crushed to pieces, his body destroyed and Dao extinguished.
Not to mention any Foundation Establishment Opportunity.
Moreover, he could gradually improve his Strength by steadily Farming, so there was really no need to join in the fun.
Huang Xishan and the other neighbors looked astonished.
They did not expect Qin Ming to refuse so decisively.
"Oh, well, since Fellow Daoist Qin is unwilling, we won't force you. We'll take our leave then." Huang Xishan said with regret, cupped his fists at Qin Ming, and prepared to leave.
Qin Ming watched the figures of his neighbors and hesitated before saying, "Do you Fellow Daoists really have to go? With two Sects involved, even if there is a Fated Chance, I'm afraid it won't be easy to contend for."
Huang Xishan turned his head upon hearing this and sighed, "Alas~ We can't compare to Fellow Daoist Qin. You are still so young. If we weren't already this old, we wouldn't need to risk our lives like this."
"If we cannot achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty, our Path of Cultivation in this life will come to an end."
"Although we have some status in the Market now, once our Lifespan is exhausted, it will all be for naught in the end."
"It's better to seize this opportunity and gamble everything."
…
Qin Ming pursed his lips upon hearing this, knowing that he could not dissuade them, and said nothing more.
He saw them off.
He glanced at the two mu of Spirit Herb Herb Field in the Courtyard.
[Name]: Divine Essence Fruit[Entry]: Soul Power Crystal X5 (Maturity Level 1%)
[Name]: Demon Flame Grass[Entry]: Ripening X5 (Maturity Level 92%)
[Name]: Ephemeral Crystal Flower[Entry]: Ripening X5 (Maturity Level 95%)
[Name]: Seven-Leaf Yellow Scutellaria[Entry]: Bloodline Reversion (Maturity Level 94%)
The Spirit Herbs he planted in the Courtyard this year, except for the Second-Rank Spirit Plant Divine Essence Fruit, were almost mature.
He felt slightly relieved.
After tending to the Herb Field, he went out of the Courtyard Gate.
Qin Ming planned to go to the Alchemy Room in the Slum Area to refine Essence Nurturing Pills. After several failures, he was now able to skillfully refine this Pill.
Moreover, the Pill Success Rate was maintained at over 70%. For this kind of Spirit Pill, which was quite difficult for him, this Pill Success Rate was already very exaggerated.
Qin Ming was walking on the Main Street of Green Sun Market when he unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.
"Yo! Fellow Daoist Qin! Long time no see!" Du Haifu walked up to Qin Ming with a bulging belly, followed by several Spirit Feather Sect Disciples.
Judging from their appearance, they should be in the Market on business.
Qin Ming put on a smile and responded, "Fellow Daoist Du, long time no see."
Du Haifu looked beaming and patted his sleeves unconsciously.
Qin Ming's gaze fell on the other party's clothing, and he then realized that he was wearing the blue Dharma Robe of a Spirit Feather Sect Outer Sect Overseer.
This guy actually got promoted!
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I should call you Overseer Du!" Qin Ming quickly changed his address.
Du Haifu nodded slightly, not minding at all, "Fellow Daoist Qin, your status is not low now either, just call me Fellow Daoist, no need to stand on ceremony."
"When did Fellow Daoist Du get promoted to Outer Sect Overseer? I didn't even receive the news." Qin Ming smiled and then asked.
Du Haifu waved his hand before saying, "Fellow Daoist Qin, it's normal that you don't know, it actually happened within the last two days."
He then revealed a piece of news that really surprised Qin Ming.
"Just two days ago, Overseer Gu achieved Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage and was directly promoted to Inner Sect Elder."
"Considering that I served Elder Gu for so many years, Elder Gu gave me the position of Overseer." When Du Haifu spoke of Overseer Gu's successful Foundation Establishment, a look of shared glory appeared on his fat face. Qin Ming also showed a surprised expression.
"Overseer Gu actually achieved Foundation Establishment?!"
He remembered that Overseer Gu had been stuck at the Perfected Qi Condensation Stage for decades, and according to his age, he was probably a few years away from sixty.
Unexpectedly, Overseer Gu actually achieved Foundation Establishment at the limit, and his Lifespan suddenly increased to over two hundred years.
"That's right, Elder Gu also has a deep Fated Chance. He actually discovered the whereabouts of the Bandits who attacked Elder Zhuang's Medicine Garden during a Mission."
"After reporting to the Sect, he completed the accumulation of Contribution Points and was directly bestowed a Foundation Establishment Pill." Du Haifu said with some envy.
Qin Ming suddenly understood, after all, only the Sect controlled Resources like the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he could also understand it.
"In a few days, it will be Elder Gu's Foundation Establishment Minor Celebration, and I'm bringing people to the Market to purchase some items for the banquet."
It could be seen that Du Haifu was very proud and pleased with himself now, presumably because he had tightly latched onto Elder Gu's thigh.
Just as the two were chatting idly.
Suddenly.
A commotion suddenly broke out on the streets of the Market.
A Carriage decorated with extreme exquisiteness and luxury, with delicately carved door panels and elegant and beautiful decorations on the outside of the carriage, pulled by four dragon steeds, slowly drove on the Main Street, followed by several guards.
Qin Ming glanced inside through the window curtain, and he vaguely saw that in the Carriage was a young Female Cultivator with exquisitely beautiful features and a shapely figure.
The Carriage gradually moved away and headed towards Gathering Pavilion.
"It's actually the Hundred Flowers Holy Maiden of the Hundred Flowers Sect!" Du Haifu seemed to recognize the person in the Carriage just now, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely ugly.
He turned his head, hurriedly cupped his fists at Qin Ming and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I still have Important Matters to deal with, so I won't chat with you any longer. You can come to the Sect to find me another day."
Qin Ming returned a salute, "Fellow Daoist Du, please go ahead and be busy."
Du Haifu finished speaking and left in a panic with his disciples.
Qin Ming frowned and muttered to himself, "Even the Hundred Flowers Sect has gotten involved?"
"As Daoist Friend Gu expected, Stormy Changes are about to begin."
…
A month later.
Qin Ming harvested the Entries from the three Spirit Plants in the Courtyard.
Subsequently.
He came to the five mu Second Rank Spirit Field again and consumed six [Ripening]Attribute Leaves to Force-Ripening the four Spirit Plants with Entries.
The moment he harvested the Spirit Plants.
One green Attribute Leaf, two blue Attribute Leaves, and one purple Attribute Leaf appeared in Qin Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
"Wait!"
"It's actually a purple Attribute Leaf!" Qin Ming was greatly surprised, he did not expect the rank of this Entry to be so rare.
He looked at the purple [Spell Replication]Attribute Leaf.
A thoughtful look appeared on Qin Ming's face, and a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"This [Spell Replication], could it be that there are no restrictions on the Spells it replicates?"
"As long as it's a Spell I've witnessed, it can be perfectly replicated?"
"Then if I can personally witness a Great Expert of Core Formation Stage taking action, wouldn't I be…"
