Chapter 633: Chapter 506: A Sanctuary Amidst Chaos
Time flows gently, and the seasons turn.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, with the demonic invasion on a large scale, life across the Cultivation Realms has not been easy.
Even in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, there were descent realm attacks by demonic forces, but fortunately, the losses were not too severe.
Under such circumstances, Qin Ming couldn’t attend to other places, having to safeguard his own small territory.
Since Great Jin gave rise to Su Yuqing, a newly ascended Nascent Soul Cultivator, along with the status of Tier Four High-Grade Great Pill King.
Plus, the cultivation and nurturing of some intermediate forces, handling the demonic invasion has been much improved compared to before.
Nowadays in the Guardian Dao Alliance, Su Yuqing, Cold Crow Ascendant, and Wanbao True Monarch jointly oversee and guard, relieving much of the pressure.
Here in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, since Qin Ming released the "Southern Wilderness Demon Slaying List," cultivators from all sides have volunteered to hunt Demonic Cultivators, showing an unprecedented enthusiasm.
Moreover, numerous gifted and talented individuals have appeared on the three lists.
Even many reclusive hermits have been attracted by enticing rewards to come out and join.
With Winter Solstice comes the return of Yang, and all things are renewed.
Qin Ming, on Wangyue Island, after instructing everyone, resumed his day-to-day farming life.
During this time, Hua Tianxiong inadvertently gathered three zhang square of Cyan Sky Spirit Soil from the Star Moon Market.
This indeed gave Qin Ming a great surprise!
For this, he greatly rewarded Hua Tianxiong.
Ever since Spirit Nest Islands became the core of the Four Southern Wilderness Countries, these rare cultivation resources have also appeared gradually.
You must understand, these are Tier Four Spiritual Objects!
In the past Southern Wilderness, even Tier Three Spiritual Objects were scarce. Now, such rare items can be collected by Qin Ming’s subordinates.
It shows that the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm is changing from its previous backwardness, beginning to develop gradually.
With this Spirit Soil, Qin Ming can expand the cultivation of Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice. The last harvest of Spirit Rice has been consumed; it’s just the right time to replenish with Spirit Seeds.
Inside the Little Spirit Realm.
Heaven-Devouring Rat and Little Silver Fox, the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, shuttle among the lush Spirit Plants, carefully tending the Spirit Field.
And Qin Ming has replanted all the Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice; this time, there are four to five hundred plants.
Moreover, it refreshed with three golden entries:
[Name]: Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice [Entry]: Nascent Soul Dharma Power x5 (Maturity 2%)
[Name]: Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 3%)
[Name]: Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice [Entry]: Nascent Soul Qi Blood x5 (Maturity 2%)
After seeding the Spirit Rice.
Qin Ming walked to the Demon Jujube Tree, whose Demon Jujubes are thriving under the nourishment of the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators’ remains.
Moreover, this Demon Plant grows like Demonic Cultivation, as long as it absorbs enough demon remains, especially high-grade remains, it advances rapidly.
It is as if the demonic forces are plundering cultivation from others from elsewhere...
The maturity progress of the entries above has changed as well.
[Name]: Source Demon Jujube [Entry]: Nascent Soul Qi Blood x5 (Maturity 52%)
[Name]: Source Demon Jujube [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 51%)
[Name]: Source Demon Jujube [Entry]: Primordial Demonic Qi x5 (Maturity 52%)
"Once the Demon Jujubes mature, I can harvest five strands of Primordial Demonic Qi, enough to synthesize two True Demon Qi."
"Then venture into the Demon Ruins mentioned by Demon Saint Gushan to find Celestial Demon Qi, which should significantly boost Body Refining Cultivation, achieving the Second Level of Transformation in Demon-Monster True Power."
"This Source Demon Jujube, as a Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Plant, may also greatly enhance Demon Technique cultivation..."
"Even in the Demon Realm, it is a rare and precious item."
Qin Ming showered the Spirit Plants with Spiritual Rain and watered the Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice with Flood Dragon Essence Blood.
Finally, he walked to the Lifebound Spirit Plant, Immortal Vine, and took out all the Essence of Wood condensed during Alchemy from the Spirit King Cauldron, throwing it as fertilizer.
This also spares Qin Ming from scouring for Tier Four Blood Pearl everywhere, saving him a lot of trouble.
Subsequently.
He went to inspect the previously cultivated Jade-Scaled Night Fish, which have grown from three to over twenty through years of rearing.
Under Little Silver Fox’s careful feeding, each Spirit Fish has grown significantly larger than before, weighing over a pound each.
These Night Fish, with shimmering scales, surround the Immortal Vine, swimming gracefully in the void of the Little Spirit Realm.
If a Nascent Soul Cultivator with slightly weaker cultivation were to follow, they wouldn’t keep up with the speed of these Night Fish.
"Tier Four High-Grade Night Fish, let me taste and see what they flavor like."
Immediately he casually caught a few exceptionally plump Jade-Scaled Night Fish, threw them to Heaven-Devouring Rat, allowing it to cook for a shared feast.
Heaven-Devouring Rat burst into smiles upon hearing it would be eating Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Fish.
"Master, rest assured, I will showcase my culinary skills today, hehe."
It received the Jade-Scaled Night Fish and called Little Silver Fox to start a fire to cook.
Clang clang!
Before long.
In the Cave Mansion’s kitchen, sounds of pots and stoves clashing could be heard, followed by the aroma of rich Spirit Fish broth filling the air.
Little Silver Fox brought some Blood Flood Dragon Green Rice to cook into rice.
Heaven-Devouring Rat, following Qin Ming for so many years, has also greatly improved its culinary skills. It even went to the most renowned Immortal Mansion Tavern in the Four Southern Wilderness Countries for advanced training for a period.
It wasn’t long before a full table of Spirit Wine and Spiritual Food was served.
Of course, today’s main dish was that Jade-Scaled Night Fish Soup, its surface emitting a layer of misty white vapor, the broth rich, brimming with Spiritual Qi.
Just looking at it from afar, it was extraordinary.
