Moon Gazing Lake in the early morning.
It was like a paradise secluded from the world, with thin mist lingering, dreamlike and illusory.
The warm morning glow sprinkled on the Island, like a transparent curtain gently fluttering beneath the firmament.
Qin Ming woke up naturally to the chirping of birds, stepped out of his Cave Residence, and took a deep breath of the fresh and clean lake breeze.
Ever since the progress of his spirit body cultivation increased.
He could clearly perceive the condition of every plant and tree here.
This would be of great help to him in planting Spirit Plants in the future.
Adding to that, his Cultivation Breakthrough had put him in a really good mood.
So, he released that nest of Four-Winged Frost Bee from his Spirit Beast pouch.
And hung it on the Longevity Vine.
In an instant.
Countless Spirit Bee swarmed out of the Beehive, pounced on the dozens of Grey Skull Flower blossoms, and began to work diligently, collecting honey and Pollination.
As the Bee Colony activity time lengthened, the purple Spirit Mark on their bodies also flickered, seeming to have gained many benefits again.
After Qin Ming released the Beehive, he let them develop on their own.
"Hmm~"
"Such a large Island, it should also raise a Spirit Beast to guard the Courtyard."
Qin Ming pondered for a while, holding his chin.
Of course, since it was for guarding the Courtyard, it couldn't be a cute pet.
It must be powerful and exude domineering aura.
However, the matter of raising a Spirit Beast still depended on Fated Chance.
Next.
Qin Ming tended to the Herb Garden and had lunch.
Then, he drove the Spirit Light Flying Shuttle and flew towards Green Haze Island of the Mo Family.
Two hours later.
Qin Ming arrived at the Mountain Gate beneath the Main Peak.
The guards here had seen him before and naturally dared not neglect him when they learned of his identity, so they immediately went in to report.
A moment later.
Old Mo with silver hair walked out, looked Qin Ming up and down, and then said in surprise, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, on your great Cultivation advancement! I didn't expect that in just a few days, you have already broken through to Qi Condensation Stage Ninth Level!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please come in!"
Old Mo was amiable on the surface, but inwardly he was astonished. It seemed that the Family Head's choice was correct.
"I have some matters to discuss with Fairy Qingxia, I wonder if it is convenient?" Qin Ming said straightforwardly.
Old Mo nodded lightly, "Family Head is on the Island, Fellow Daoist Qin, please follow me."
The two followed the stone path in the mountains and arrived at a rather magnificent Cave Residence.
Mo Lingwei, dressed in a light green gauze dress, greeted them. Her first reaction when she saw Qin Ming was also a surge of emotions within her.
However, she did not reveal it, but smiled calmly and congratulated, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, on taking another step forward on the Immortal Path!"
"Just lucky, not worth mentioning." Qin Ming said modestly.
"Fellow Daoist Qin is too low-key. The matter of you overpowering the heroes and seizing Moon Gazing Island is still being talked about with relish in the Spirit Island Range."
"Unexpectedly, even Zhao Chan Zhen had to admit defeat."
When Mo Lingwei heard this news, she was also quite surprised.
She could only say that her judgment was accurate. Who would have thought that the unremarkable Qin Ming would be so powerful.
Mo Lingwei invited Qin Ming to be seated, then poured Tea for him, and asked gently, "May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Qin to visit suddenly today?"
"It's like this, I heard that the Mo Family has Spirit Seed of Spirit Rest Rice, and I have come to visit to ask for a purchase." Qin Ming directly stated his intention.
Mo Lingwei was stunned when she heard this, revealing a look of surprise. She did not expect that the other party would actually come for Spirit Rest Rice.
Her white jade-like soft hand gently fiddled with the teacup, then smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist Qin's news is quite well-informed."
"That's right, I do have a small portion of Spirit Seed of Spirit Rest Rice left, not much though."
"It was left behind by my ancestors."
"However… I presume Fellow Daoist Qin should also know the preciousness of this Spirit Rest Rice, right?"
"Naturally, I wonder what Conditions Fellow Daoist Mo wants to offer for sale." Qin Ming naturally knew that Spirit Seed of Spirit Rest Rice would not be easy to obtain.
Mo Lingwei pondered for a while upon hearing this, seemingly thinking about something.
After a moment.
She suddenly smiled brightly, "Is Fellow Daoist Qin so confident in successfully cultivating it?"
"You should know that in the history of this Spirit Rice, those who have successfully cultivated it are few and far between."
"Otherwise, it would not have fallen to the point of being Extinct today."
"Hehe, I am a newcomer, and I am also quite interested in this Rice, just want to try it out." Qin Ming said with a chuckle. "Whether it can be grown or not is still unknown."
Mo Lingwei nodded, "Since that's the case, I can sell Spirit Seed to Fellow Daoist Qin, but there is a Condition."
Then she immediately stated the Trade Conditions.
Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this, then relaxed again.
The two discussed for a while.
Mo Lingwei took out a Spirit Contract, and Qin Ming signed it.
Afterwards, Mo Lingwei instructed Old Mo to take out a small box of emerald green Spirit Rice Seeds from the family's storage.
These Spirit Seeds were perfectly sealed in a Jade Box, and their Spiritual Nature had not been lost.
"This is Spirit Rest Rice?" Qin took the Jade Box, his expression joyful. After comparing it with Gu Qingzhao's description, he confirmed that it was indeed it.
Afterwards.
He put away the Spirit Seed, and after a brief chat with Mo Lingwei, he bid farewell and left Green Haze Island.
…
Inside the Mo Family Cave Residence.
Old Mo with a head of silver hair hesitated for a moment, then asked Mo Lingwei in confusion, "Family Head, why did you really give him the Spirit Seed?"
"That is the last bit, and even Second-Rank Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master were invited to plant it before but failed, let alone him?"
"Not giving it out is just leaving it to gather dust."
"Although it is the last thought that Great-Grandfather left us, if Spirit Rest Rice truly reappears in the Cultivation World one day, presumably he would also be happy." Mo Lingwei said indifferently.
"Moreover, even if Fellow Daoist Qin fails, we will not lose anything, he has already agreed to my Condition."
Old Mo nodded upon hearing this, and said no more.
…
After getting the Spirit Seed, Qin Ming hurried back to his Cave Residence without stopping.
The Spirit Seed he had in hand was only enough for him to plant about three mu.
But this was enough.
As for the Condition for selling the Spirit Seed, Mo Lingwei's request was that if Qin Ming successfully cultivated it, he would need to give the Mo Family fifty Jin of Spirit Rest Rice.
If he failed, he would have to pay Spirit Stone of equivalent value.
Qin Ming considered these Conditions acceptable, so he readily agreed.
After returning to Moon Gazing Island, Qin Ming was not in a hurry to plant the Spirit Rest Rice.
Instead, he changed the three mu of Spirit Field that he planned to plant Spirit Rest Rice into Water Field.
Then, he introduced the Spirit Spring water from the Island into the Spirit Field.
The next step was to cultivate seedlings.
This step was extremely crucial, whether the Spirit Seed could survive depended on this step.
Qin Ming found a small piece of land next to it.
He first burned the Straw of the Second-Rank Spirit Plant Five-Color Rice from before, mixed it with Spirit Soil, added the excrement of a Spirit Bird called White Spirit Egret found here, and stirred it evenly, mixed with other Spirit Material, and prepared Spirit Fertilizer.
This was also some experience passed down from Mo Lingwei's ancestors.
Then he sowed the Spirit Seed of Spirit Rest Rice.
When the Spirit Rest Rice seedlings grew, they could be transplanted into the Spirit Water Field.
After doing all this, he made another trip to Heavenly River Market and found the Spirit Plant Master Guild.
He learned that promotion to Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master and above also required entering the Flora Illusion Realm to complete the corresponding Trial Assessment.
However, it was not as cumbersome as stipulated by the Spirit Feather Sect.
The Recorder in Heavenly River Market responsible for Spirit Plant Master Assessment, after registering at the beginning of planting, only needed to come again for inspection when harvesting Spirit Plants.
This saved a lot of trouble in between.
Moreover, the Quota to enter the Illusionary Realm of Plants and Trees was also distributed based on the Difficulty of the Spirit Plants planted by each Spirit Plant Master and their final grade.
The Wooden Formation to enter the Flora Illusion Realm was set up in major Immortal Cities of the Cultivation World.
And the closest to this was Vast Sea Immortal City.
After all, the Origin Qi of Myriad Wood could accelerate the growth and advancement of Qin Ming's Life-Bound Spirit Plant.
Putting aside everything else, he was still very eager for this item.
On this day.
Qin Ming was tending to the Spirit Field when a ripple spread across the protective Formation, and a Message Talisman flew in.
He opened it and saw that it was sent by Wu Jiang.
Then he opened the Formation and let him in.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, there is news about the method of refining Spirit Fire you asked me to look for, as well as the whereabouts of the two Spirit Herb."
