Chapter 192 Harvest
After staying in Lu Liang's place for a little over half a day.
Qin Ming also intended to return, so he bid farewell to Lu Liang and asked him to help open the Formation to let him pass.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't forget your Spirit Wine." Daoist Friend Lu noticed that Qin Ming hadn't taken the Spirit Fire Wine jug on the Dining Table.
Qin Ming smiled, "I'm always troubling Daoist Friend Lu, so please accept this jug of Spirit Wine as a small token of my appreciation."
"How can that be acceptable? This is…" Lu Liang hesitated.
"Daoist Friend Lu, please don't stand on ceremony. I have plenty of Spirit Wine on my Island, and I don't mind giving away this jug."
Daoist Friend Lu then cupped his fist and accepted with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qin."
This Spirit Fire Wine was a great tonic for his precious disciple Lu Wan Jun; it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming went to the Shops nearby and purchased some Materials for refining High-Tier Puppets.
Then, accompanied by Lu Liang, he left Azure Sea Immortal City.
After leaving the Immortal City, Qin Ming summoned the Silver-Winged Frost Bee and returned to Moon Gazing Island at lightning speed.
After returning to the Island.
Qin Ming was just about to enter his Cave Residence for Cultivation.
But he saw that Wu Jiang had sent him a Message Talisman, which he immediately opened to read.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I saw you return today, please come to my Wooden Hut by the Lake for a chat."
Qin Ming immediately muttered to himself, "What trick is Wu Jiang up to now?"
Then he stepped down the Island.
When Qin Ming entered the Wooden Hut by the Lake, he saw Wu Jiang and his wife Mu Ruyin busily working, having already prepared a whole table of food.
Wu Jiang had a smile of harvest joy on his face as he carried a pot of Five-Color Spirit Rice Meal, which emitted an enticing aroma.
When he saw Qin Ming arrive, he quickly put down the pot and invited Qin Ming to take a seat and eat.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, sit, sit, sit!"
"Please eat first."
"There are still two more dishes, they'll be ready soon."
After putting down what he was holding, Wu Jiang then took out a Storage Bag, handed it to Qin Ming and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, this is the Spirit Rice Tax for renting the Spirit Field for the past two years, please take a look."
"In total, there are one hundred and fifty Dan of Golden Spirit Rice, twenty Dan of Beast Tooth Rice, and five Dan of Five-Color Spirit Rice."
"Originally, we agreed with Fellow Daoist Qin to pay thirty percent of the Spirit Rice as Rent."
"But unexpectedly, the Spirit Vein Environment of Moon Gazing Island has changed drastically, and our Wu Clan's Spirit Fields have all had bumper harvests!"
"I discussed it with the Clan Members, and from now on, we will pay forty percent of the Spirit Rice Tax as Spirit Field Rent."
"Hehehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you think?"
Wu Jiang was already quick-witted, and he also knew that such a good place as Moon Gazing Island was now impossible to find in the Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World.
The Island was not only protected by a Tier-3 Grand Formation, but also had abundant Spirit Qi, making Cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and Farming even more rewarding.
He also knew to be grateful for the source, so naturally he wanted to give more Spirit Rice to Fellow Daoist Qin.
"Mm, Fellow Daoist Wu, you've done very well! Keep up the good work!"
Qin Ming smiled and accepted the Spirit Rice, putting it away, then patted Wu Jiang's shoulder.
The feeling of reaping rewards without effort was quite good. With the Wu Clan farming for him, the large tracts of Spirit Field wouldn't be left vacant.
At the same time, Qin Ming didn't have to do anything himself and could harvest a large batch of Spirit Rice, which he could then sell to the Mirror Snow Pavilion for a considerable sum of Spirit Stones.
Under Wu Jiang's leadership, the Wu Clan's Spirit Farmers had also improved their Spirit Rice planting techniques considerably, and the Quality of the Spirit Rice they grew was also good.
Inside the Wooden Hut.
A whole table full of dishes made with Monster Beast Meat and exquisite Spirit Materials, along with Five-Color Spirit Rice Meal, made one's appetite surge. Mu Ruyin's cooking skills were superb.
Qin Ming also ate with great relish, while Wu Jiang and his father Wu Hanyuan frequently toasted and complimented Qin Ming.
In the Wu Clan's residential area, bonfires were also lit and barbecue grills set up.
A group of Spirit Farmers danced and sang around the bonfire, drinking heavily and eating large chunks of meat, celebrating the joy of the harvest.
The Mysterious Water Crocodile, which was originally dozing at the bottom of the Lake, also smelled the aroma and slowly crawled onto the Island, where it was fed several roasted whole sheep by the Wu Clan people.
It was lying not far from the Wu Clan crowd, leisurely eating roasted meat at the Dining Table.
After three rounds of wine, and the food was almost finished.
Wu Jiang seemed to have something to say prepared long ago, but he hesitated, and the words reached his lips several times but he couldn't say them.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Qin Ming also noticed his unusual behavior.
Even Mu Ruyin beside him glared at him fiercely. Wu Jiang then reluctantly put on a smile and said to Qin Ming:
"Hehehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, it's like this."
"Wang Feng and Wang Yue have obtained a chance to visit home from the Thunder Origin Sect, probably in a month or two."
"I don't know if Fellow Daoist Qin… Fellow Daoist Qin agrees to them entering the Island?"
The reason Wu Jiang was unsure was that after all, his children had already joined the Thunder Origin Sect.
He knew that Fellow Daoist Qin had never been too interested in the Sect, so he also needed to ask for his Island Lord's permission in advance.
Qin Ming thought it was something important, making Wu Jiang so cautious, and then replied indifferently: "I thought it was something, so it's about those two kids returning after completing their studies? What's wrong with that, it's been a long time since I saw them, I'm afraid they're already quite grown up, right?"
"They can come back whenever they want."
As soon as Qin Ming said this.
Wu Jiang and his wife were immediately overjoyed. What they were originally worried about was that the Spirit Island had now changed greatly, and Qin Ming might mind this matter.
…
Time slowly passed.
Qin Ming returned to his days of Farming and Cultivation.
In his spare time, he also studied the Puppet Technique. After continuous research, he was not far from upgrading those two Second-Order Low-Grade turtle Puppets to Mid-Second Order.
In addition to this, there was also Pill Refining of the Jade Mystery Pill.
After Qin Ming's several attempts at Pill Refining, two bottles of the Second-Order High-Grade Spirit Pill 'Jade Mystery Pill' were also successfully refined by him.
Moreover, Qin Ming specially kept a portion of the Spirit Materials in his hand, and used the [Rebirth Spirit Seed] Entry to revive and plant all of the most difficult-to-collect Spirit Herbs in this Pill Formula, including the Seven-Leaf Nether Ganoderma, in the Medicine Garden.
The other Spirit Materials were relatively easy to purchase and collect in the Immortal City after all.
In this way, when he subsequently made a Breakthrough to the Late Stage Realm, he would not lack Pills to increase his Magical Power.
Inside the Cave Residence.
Qin Ming took out a Jade Mystery Pill and put it into his mouth.
Instantly, the pure Medicinal Power transformed into a huge torrent, and began to circulate the Circulatory Cycle along his Meridians.
He immediately activated the Ancient Wood Longevity Skill, constantly guiding and refining this Medicinal Power.
Several hours later.
The Magical Power Aura on Qin Ming's body suddenly rose sharply, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the Late Stage Realm.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the Liquid Mana in the Lake of Mana had increased a lot again.
"This Jade Mystery Pill is indeed extraordinary, I really don't know how many Pill Formulas like this there are Within Mysterious Stream Valley."
"However, the Difficulty of refining the Jade Mystery Pill is also not ordinary, I guess apart from Grandmaster Alchemist Gongsun Yang, other Pill Masters would not be able to refine it."
"Otherwise, Profound Stream Valley would not have sold the Pill Recipe of this Pill to outsiders."
