"Gone too far?"
Qin Ming stood stunned in place.
"No, that's not right!"
He focused his mind and sensed slightly, discovering that the Black Vine had actually infiltrated Underground.
It seemed somewhat playful.
"To actually be able to change form at will, penetrating everywhere."
"Truly unbelievable!"
Qin Ming quickly communicated with the Black Vine, telling it to grow out.
In an instant.
Overwhelming Black Vines, like tentacles covered in black eyes, burst out of the soil.
All of them joyfully looked towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming was also dumbfounded. It seemed that for this Life-Bound Spirit Plant to reach maturity, the required years would be terrifyingly long.
These five [Time-Space Leaf] Entries had only caused it to grow a negligible amount from its juvenile stage.
"Five hundred years, and it's still only in the seedling stage."
Qin Ming couldn't help but be speechless.
On the contrary, Blood Beads could make the Black Vine evolve faster.
However, this also allowed Qin Ming to step into the entry level of the "Ancient Wood Longevity Art".
But the distance to cultivate the initial 'Supreme Wood Dharma Body' Spirit Body still seemed quite significant.
It was estimated that only when he had more Blood Beads later on could he accelerate its advancement and growth.
Qin Ming now not only had his affinity for plants and trees greatly increased.
But also his Enlightenment of Wood Attribute Spells had slightly improved.
The "Ancient Wood Longevity Art" was only a method for cultivating the Spirit Body, and could not directly enhance Cultivation.
Only when the Spirit Body was truly cultivated would the effect be significant.
Whoosh! Qin Ming casually pinched out a basic Spell, Wood Arrow Technique.
Bang! The power of the Wood Arrow Technique was even stronger.
"Even the Thorn Technique has gained many more insights."
Qin Ming pondered for a while, planning that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still prepare to find a superior growing environment for this Life-Bound Spirit Plant.
After all, places with abundant Spiritual Energy are more beneficial for the growth of Spirit Plants.
…
Next.
Qin Ming returned to the Cultivation Room.
Then he activated the Formation Restriction of the Courtyard Residence and entered Seclusion Mode.
He focused his mind on the [Mana Crystal] Entry and began a new round of Cultivation.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ming exhausted the five [Mana Crystal] Attribute Leaves.
On this day, a strong Spiritual Power Fluctuation surged within Refreshing Abode, resonating with Heaven and Earth.
Even the Isolation Formation in the Courtyard failed to conceal this Aura.
"Late Qi Condensation Stage?"
"Unexpectedly, someone nearby has broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Condensation Stage."
"It seems to be Fellow Cultivator Qin's Courtyard."
"Fellow Cultivator Qin, it's actually him?"
"As expected of a High-Grade Spirit Planter, his Cultivation Realm is also progressing so quickly."
The new neighbors around all sensed this Aura.
Many Cultivators' gazes converged on the direction of Qin Ming's Courtyard.
"Twenty-seven years old, Seventh Layer of Qi Condensation Stage!"
Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging Evergreen Magic Power within his body, overjoyed.
"I'm afraid even those old fogeys in the family didn't expect it, right?"
"That I, with merely a Four-Element Pseudo Spirit Root, could also reach this step."
Qin Ming's heart was incomparably joyful.
Seventh Layer of Qi Condensation Stage marked his entry into the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
After so many years of accumulation.
The Magic Power in his body, which was originally far greater than Cultivators of the same Realm, had also increased several times over, and was now comparable to the Perfected Qi Condensation Stage.
Coupled with Body Refinement Cultivation, both advancing to the Late Stage, the Strength and methods Qin Ming could display had more than doubled.
Seventh Layer of Qi Condensation Stage, although placed in the Sect, he would at most be an Inner Sect Disciple.
But in a Foundation Establishment family like Qin Ming's, he would belong to the middle and upper levels.
If the family knew all of this, their jaws would probably drop in shock, right? Qin Ming stopped thinking too much and began to regulate his breathing to stabilize his Realm.
…
On this day.
Qin Ming came to his Spirit Field to take care of the Spirit Plants.
The three units of area of Five-Color Rice and two units of area of Crimson Silver Yellow Hemp were growing quite well, a thriving scene.
At first, when the Crimson Silver Yellow Hemp grew taller, the wood fragrance it emitted actually attracted a batch of Spirit Insects, a kind of black silk-like Spirit Insect. Like tenacious maggots, they harmed his Spirit Plants.
Later, Qin Ming directly summoned the Four-Winged Frost Bees and thoroughly eliminated them.
Since Qin Ming cultivated the "Ancient Wood Longevity Art", as his affinity for plants and trees grew stronger.
It seemed he got along even more harmoniously with the Spirit Plants in these Spirit Fields.
He could even slightly sense which Spirit Plant was not looking well, and which Spirit Plant needed increased Fertility.
Qin Ming was holding a Spirit Hoe, carefully loosening the Spirit Soil.
Bang! "Enemy attack!"
A Signal Talisman representing the Spirit Feather Sect instantly exploded in the Mid-Air above the Spirit Field!
Immediately afterwards.
A Patrol Team of Spirit Feather Sect flew over Qin Ming's head.
Even a Foundation Establishment Elder had come.
Qin Ming's expression changed, and he looked towards the sky in front of him.
At this time, within the vast Spirit Field, dark clouds enveloped everything, and screams and cries of horror constantly came out.
"Run! It's a Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator!"
"Quickly ask the Sect for help!"
In the Mid-Air above the Spirit Field.
A man shrouded in black robes, stood in the void, his body exuding terrifying Spiritual Power Fluctuation.
The first time Qin Ming saw this person, he immediately felt his heart palpitate, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Without another word, he immediately wanted to run away.
But just then.
The dark clouds in the sky, actually began to roll and gather constantly as if commanded, surrounding the people inside.
Spirit Feather Sect Qi Condensation Stage Disciples, in their panic, bumped into these black clouds, and instantly let out piercing screams of agony.
They were directly torn to shreds by the Gale Winds blowing out of the Cloud Layer.
"Second Tier Entrapment Formation!"
Even the Foundation Establishment Elder of Spirit Feather Sect's expression drastically changed.
The Black-Robed Cultivator waved his hand casually, and a black torrent was unleashed.
The Spirit Feather Sect Disciples and Spirit Field guards who came to support were instantly cut into pieces.
"Stop!"
"Unexpectedly, your audacity is truly not small."
"To actually run wild within the territory controlled by my Spirit Feather Sect!"
The Spirit Feather Sect Elder was extremely anxious seeing his Sect's Disciples being slaughtered like this.
He pinched out a Magic Art in his hand, and struck towards the opponent.
The Black-Robed Cultivator sneered, Demonic Qi surged all over his body, and towards the Spirit Feather Sect Elder, he unleashed a black torrent Spell! Boom! Bang! The Spells of the two Great Foundation Establishment Cultivators collided in Mid-Air, erupting with a loud noise.
However.
The black torrent unleashed by the Black-Robed Cultivator, after breaking through the Spirit Feather Sect Foundation Establishment Elder's Spell, its momentum undiminished.
It fiercely struck the other party's chest! "Ah!"
That Foundation Establishment Elder's chest instantly burst with blood, and his Aura instantly weakened.
His body staggered and fell to the ground.
The two sides only exchanged one blow, and victory and defeat were decided.
The Spirit Feather Sect Elder was severely injured by a single blow, his face filled with horror, he exclaimed in horror: "No, that's not right! You… you are one of the five Evil Cultivators who attacked Elder Zhuang's Medicine Garden!"
"Hmph! Noisy!"
The Black-Robed Cultivator stretched out a jade-white hand, clenched in the void, and a giant black blade Spell several units of length long formed.
He flung it towards the Foundation Establishment Elder on the ground.
Black light flashed, piercing through the void.
The giant blade Spell split him in two with lightning speed.
From beginning to end.
That Foundation Establishment Elder didn't even have time to react.
His Strength was on a completely different level.
Qin Ming watched, and his heart pounded wildly, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
What to do? There was nowhere to escape now.
Moments later.
The Black-Robed Cultivator slaughtered all of the Spirit Feather Sect people.
Only then did he unhurriedly fly towards Qin Ming.
'It seems the target is actually me.'
Qin Ming retrieved the purple [Spell Replication] Attribute Leaf from his Storage Bag, and clutched it tightly in his hand.
The Black-Robed Cultivator arrived in an instant, halting not far from Qin Ming.
But the other party's next move made Qin Ming incredibly astonished.
He used his hand to remove his black robe, revealing a face Qin Ming was extremely familiar with, and grinned at him: "Long time no see, Fellow Cultivator Qin!"
Thank you to Fellow Cultivator 'Silent and Unknown Ah' for the 1000 Qidian Coin reward! Deeply grateful! Also thank you to Fellow Cultivators who cast Recommendation Votes and Monthly Passes!
