Chapter 120 Mo Lingwei's Visit
Half a month later.
Qin Ming's Moon Gazing Island had returned to its usual peace.
However, within the Spirit Dwelling Islands Cultivation World and Vast Sea Immortal City, Qin Ming's inspirational Immortal Cultivation story—starting as a Spirit Farmer and achieving Foundation Establishment with Pseudo Spirit Root—remained a hot topic.
It was a major topic of conversation for all Cultivators during their leisure time.
After all, being a Double Second-Order Cultivation Arts practitioner was rare even in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World.
Studying one of the Hundred Crafts of Cultivation was enough for a Cultivator to dedicate their entire life to, let alone two.
One of which was the Art of Alchemy, the most difficult of them all.
Moreover, a rumor had even quietly spread.
It was that everyone speculated that Qin Ming's Dao of Alchemy level had probably already reached the point where he could refine Foundation Establishment Pill.
After all.
Before achieving Foundation Establishment, he had spent some time in Vast Sea Immortal City collecting Spirit Material for refining Foundation Establishment Pill.
This matter was witnessed by many Cultivators in Immortal City.
Once this speculation emerged, Qin Ming's Reputation soared again, even surpassing Great Alchemist Sun for a time.
However, Qin Ming's style of conduct was too low-key, living in seclusion and rarely going out, almost as if he was living in seclusion on Moon Gazing Island, and he was unwilling to accept recruitment from any Power.
Therefore, he appeared even more mysterious.
However.
No matter how popular a topic is, it will gradually fade with the passage of time.
Apart from this.
Major Powers' demand for Spirit Rest Rice remained undiminished.
But since they learned that they could purchase a small amount of Spirit Rest Rice through the Mirror Snow Pavilion's channel, few people came to bother Qin Ming again.
There was also another matter.
Since Wu Jiang became Qin Ming's welcoming gatekeeper, many Spirit Island Families had also begun to show goodwill towards the Wu Clan.
According to Wu Jiang himself, White Rock Island, where his Family Clan was located, had recently been filled with guests, indeed benefiting greatly from Qin Ming.
Wu Jiang also did not hide anything, telling Qin Ming everything in detail.
On this day.
Qin Ming and Wu Jiang were sitting outside the Wooden Hut by the Lake, eating the delicious food Mu Ruyin brought out.
They chatted as they ate.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, there is another piece of news I must tell you."
"That day at Phoenix Perching Island, you severely injured Yu Wanhe. Later, I heard that the old bastard lost most of his life, and his Dantian Qi Sea was destroyed."
"His Cultivation level dropped back to the Qi Condensation Stage, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve Foundation Establishment again in this lifetime."
"Previously, the Yu Family offended many surrounding Spirit Island Families, and I'm afraid they will suffer in the future."
Qin Ming listened, but his heart was without waves, even though the great rise and fall of the Yu Family of Azure Island was inextricably linked to him.
In the future, if the Yu Family dared to disturb his Farming, he would feed them all to the Longevity Vine.
"By the way, I see that your Golden Spirit Rice is almost planted. What are your plans next?" Qin Ming asked while picking up a mouthful of food and putting it in his mouth.
As soon as Wu Jiang heard this, he immediately became alert, knowing that another opportunity was coming, and hurriedly said, "At your command, Fellow Daoist Qin, you see…"
Qin Ming smiled slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then took out a small bag of Beast Tooth Rice Spirit Seed from his Storage Bag and placed it on the table.
"You can now occasionally use the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique."
"Why not try planting Beast Tooth Rice?"
"There are still many vacant Spirit Veins on the island, you can also have your Family Clan members come over and continue to plant Golden Spirit Rice on them."
Wu Jiang said excitedly, "Really?"
Qin Ming nodded, "Of course, this Beast Tooth Rice Spirit Seed is not given to you for free, you have to buy it at Market Price."
"The Spirit Veins and Spirit Field outside are the same, I can rent them to you, ahem! And collect 30% Spirit Rice Tax from you."
Wu Jiang and Mu Ruyin exchanged a look, then their expressions showed great joy.
The Spirit Vein environment on Moon Gazing Island was many times better than their own White Rock Island.
Wu Jiang was filled with emotion, he had been loyal and devoted, and at this moment, he finally received recognition and reward from the other party.
This time, he had completely embraced this Powerful Backer.
The three of them were eating when.
A green Escaping Light flew from the distant sky.
Qin Ming looked up, and a beautiful figure with captivating beauty gracefully landed in front of them.
"Senior Qin is truly in good spirits, enjoying the Lake and mountains while eating here."
"Having heard that Senior Qin successfully achieved Foundation Establishment and became famous in the Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World, I, representing the Qingxia Island Mo Family, have come to pay a special visit."
Azure Cloud Fairy Mo Lingwei was like a Fairy in a painting, wearing a long cyan dress, with a gentle and quiet temperament, and a bright and radiant smile, as she spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, you don't need to be restrained, in the future just call me Fellow Daoist Qin," Qin Ming said as he stood up to welcome the guest.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Mo, come to the island to take a seat."
Mo Lingwei's beautiful eyes fell on Qin Ming, and she felt that Qin Ming had an added temperament of indifference like water, his whole person was like an evergreen ancient tree.
Since seeing him a few years ago until now, his appearance had remained unchanged.
Furthermore, the other party's Cultivation Realm was even more unfathomable and impossible to fathom.
She also did not expect that the young Cultivator who was not selected by her to be a Co-tenant of Spirit Island back then had now become an existence she needed to look up to.
Qin Ming informed Wu Jiang and his wife, then led Azure Cloud Fairy Mo Lingwei into the Guest Greeting Pavilion.
Mo Lingwei followed him up to the Main Peak, and along the way, she was deeply attracted by every plant and tree here. Mid-Second Order Spirit Gathering Tea grew all over the mountains, and the lush Purple Gold Bamboo forests stretched across the mountains and plains.
These were all rare Spirit Plants to see outside.
On the balcony by the window of the Guest Greeting Pavilion, one could have a distant view of Moon Gazing Lake.
Qin Ming brewed a pot of Spirit Gathering Tea for Mo Lingwei. She took a small sip, revealing a surprised look and praised it endlessly.
Then, she also took out a box of Congratulatory Gift and gave it to Qin Ming.
The two chatted for a while.
Mo Lingwei seemed to have something to say, but her Expression became somewhat hesitant.
Qin Ming did not rush her, but just quietly brewed Tea and waited for her.
Finally.
Mo Lingwei's jade-like soft hand gently clenched her dress, bit her red lip, and opened her mouth to ask Qin Ming, "I want to ask Fellow Daoist Qin something."
"Fellow Daoist Mo, please speak," Qin Ming said as he refilled her Tea.
Mo Lingwei hesitated for a moment, and asked directly, "There are speculations and rumors outside that Fellow Daoist Qin can refine Foundation Establishment Pill, I wonder if it is true."
Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this, unexpectedly she would ask this question.
However, he did not hide it, nodded and said, "That's right, I can refine this Pill."
At this moment, in his Storage Bag, there were quietly lying three ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills, and one Fine Quality Foundation Establishment Pill.
This kind of Spirit Pill, which touched upon the Strategic Resource of Great Sect Power.
Qin Ming did not dare to refine too many, in case it was known by Great Sect Power, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
At that time, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
After all, Foundation Establishment Pill was the best thing for Great Sect to control Lower Ranks Rogue Cultivators.
Of course, as long as it was not too excessive, occasionally leaking out one or two, the Sect would also turn a blind eye.
"Then, in Fellow Daoist Qin's hand… is there any extra Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Qin Ming frowned slightly, the other party's words were somewhat touching upon his privacy.
Mo Lingwei saw that Qin Ming's Expression was a bit displeased and quickly said, "What I mean is, if Fellow Daoist Qin has extra Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, I want to acquire it at all costs."
Having said that, her eyes were full of determination.
'At all costs?' Qin Ming thought to himself, 'The Mo Family can't even afford the Rent for the Island, what can she take out to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill?'
He could understand this woman's current desire for Foundation Establishment Pill, as the most talented young Family Clan head of the Mo Family.
She needed to lead a large group of family members to continue to survive and develop in this cruel Cultivation World, relying only on Qi Condensation Perfection Cultivation, she could not go far.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
"I painstakingly collected a set of Material, and only refined one Foundation Establishment Pill, which was used up when I achieved Breakthrough," Qin Ming said with a sigh.
He naturally would not tell the whole truth to the other party in one go.
Mo Lingwei seemed to have expected Qin Ming to answer like this, she unhurriedly took out a piece of black dead wood from her Storage Bag, which looked somewhat decayed and placed it on the table.
Qin Ming swept it slightly with Divine Sense, and knew that this thing contained hidden secrets, and was extremely extraordinary.
Then Mo Lingwei took out an ancient Jade Slip and gently placed it in front of Qin Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't rush to reject me, I want to use these two items to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill with Fellow Daoist Qin."
Qin Ming did not immediately agree when he heard this, and also wanted to know what Value her items had.
Mo Lingwei pointed to that arm-thick black decayed wood and explained, "This thing is Mysterious Yin Black Wood, formed after the decay of Upper Grade Second Tier Spirit Plant, and is quite precious."
"But the most precious thing is not this thing, but the Spirit Seed sealed inside."
"It is the Spirit Seed of Top-Grade Spirit Plant 'Mist Illusion Mushroom' of Second Tier."
"This Mist Illusion Mushroom, although not edible for Cultivators, is an excellent Material for Cultivators to practice Illusion Arts, refine Illusion Arts Spirit Tool."
"It can also be used to raise Demonic Beasts with relevant abilities, and refine special Pills."
"In addition, during the growth of Mist Illusion Mushroom, it will constantly release a hallucinogenic mist to the outside world, it is said that when accumulated to a certain extent, over time it can even form an Illusionary Realm comparable to Third-Order Illusion Formation, becoming a domain of its own."
Qin Ming was shocked and amazed when he heard this, and was extremely envious of this item.
That was a Spirit Tool, not a Magical Artifact! A Spirit Plant that could refine Illusion Arts Spirit Tools was rare to see even in the Cultivation World.
As for Third-Order Formation, that was something that money cannot buy.
If such a Third-Order Illusionary Realm was planted around Moon Gazing Island, wouldn't even Golden Core Ancestor be helpless against him?
"Then what is this item?" Qin Ming asked, pointing to the ancient Jade Slip.
Mo Lingwei heard this and then explained, "This Jade Slip records an Inheritance of Tier 3 Spirit Plant Master."
"These two items were also brought back from a Secret Realm by my father at the cost of his life before he died."
Speaking to this point, Mo Lingwei's Expression became somewhat dejected.
Qin Ming suddenly understood when he heard this.
Thinking to himself, based on the Mo Family's ancestors, it was impossible that a Tier 3 Spirit Plant Master had emerged.
Otherwise, they would not have to shrink in a corner of Spirit Dwelling Islands, barely surviving.
Qin Ming fell into contemplation after listening to Mo Lingwei's words.
To be honest, the weight and Value of these two items were indeed not small.
He was considering whether to take out a Foundation Establishment Pill to exchange with her.
But there were some concerns in his heart.
Mo Lingwei saw Qin Ming's posture, and thought he did not want to agree, she then bit her silver teeth.
"If Fellow Daoist Qin thinks these two items are not enough."
"I can add another Condition."
"The Mo Family will be affiliated to Moon Gazing Island for the next ten years, Fellow Daoist Qin can command us as you wish."
"Including…"
"Including… myself, as long as Fellow Daoist Qin makes a request, I will agree to everything…"
Mo Lingwei said at the end, her voice like a mosquito, becoming smaller and smaller, her face flushed red as she lowered her head.
"Ah?!"
