Chapter 86: Lingxi Archipelago

Qin Ming’s map was bought from Gu Qingzhao.

It cost him a full one hundred Spirit Stones.

After all, such a comprehensive map was very rare on the market.

It not only depicted the geographical appearance, but also recorded the people, products, climate environment, and Spirit Vein distribution clearly.

This was updated and perfected by the Mirror Snow Pavilion over many years.

This map was very large, not only containing the map of Wei Kingdom, but also covering the surrounding Jin Kingdom, Wu Kingdom, and Liang Kingdom.

The four nations presented a situation of four-legged confrontation, and Wei Kingdom was located in the south.

Qin Ming carefully looked, his gaze fell on the Cloud Marsh Wilderness in the southernmost part of Wei Kingdom, a very small mark – Qingyang Marketplace.

Then looked north.

At the boundary of the four nations, it was separated by an “X” shaped giant mountain range.

This was the “Beast Howl Mountains,” rumored to be filled with crises, with all kinds of Demonic Beasts emerging endlessly, and even Third Rank Great Demons existed.

Every mountain pass that could be passed through had fortresses and Cultivation Marketplaces set up along the way.

These scattered marketplaces connected together like beacons, finally pointing to a boundary of the four nations, where the largest City was marked, and clearly depicted with four large red characters, “Canghai Immortal City.”

This place was the Loose Cultivator’s Sacred Land.

Within Wei, Jin, Liang, and Wu, there were Golden Core Ancestors who suppressed everything, which was the ceiling of the highest Combat Strength.

The remaining Powers had to bow their heads and submit.

Even the source of the Foundation Establishment Pill was monopolized by it. The Great Sects ate the meat, and many Loose Cultivators had difficulty even drinking soup, only able to survive in the cracks.

Because this place belonged to a no-man’s-land, coupled with the rich resources and products of the Beast Howl Mountains, it quickly became the center of Loose Cultivators’ transactions.

And later, Master of the Azure Sea successfully formed his Golden Core here as a Loose Cultivator, then established a Cultivation City.

It attracted the entry of various Powers, including many Second-Rank Alchemists, and as long as they had Materials, they had the ability to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Speaking like this.

Canghai Immortal City was also the only place where many Loose Cultivators could potentially obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, so it was regarded as the Loose Cultivator’s Sacred Land.

According to Gu Qingzhao, the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s largest Branch was established in Canghai Immortal City, and her Destination was also here.

Absorbing the lessons of this experience, he would naturally not go to such a place where all sorts of people gathered.

Moreover, there were Golden Core True Persons in the Immortal City, under the sweeping of their powerful Spiritual Sense, some secrets might be exposed.

Therefore, it was definitely not a good choice for Farming, brushing Attributes, and cultivating the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique.

His current Cultivation principle was to avoid conflict, develop steadily, cultivate and manage, and transform it into his own Strength.

This kind of place where Powers were intertwined and conflicts frequently occurred.

It was not appropriate to participate too much.

Qin Ming had been collecting a lot of Intelligence from Gu Qingzhao over the years, and he had also studied the territory of Wei Kingdom in depth, and he already had a plan in mind.

His gaze continued to move north, finally falling on a place called the “Lingxi Archipelago.”

This was a large group of islands, with many rivers and lakes, interwoven to form a dense water network.

These water networks connected at the boundary of the four nations.

This Lingxi Archipelago was within the jurisdiction of the Zhao Clan, a Cultivation Aristocratic Family.

And the Zhao Clan belonged to one of the Seven Major Powers of Wei Kingdom, with three Cultivation Aristocratic Families possessing False Core Realm True Persons.

The Spirit Rice and Spirit Fish produced here were well-known far and wide.

They were Immortal Delicacies that often appeared in many Restaurants.

However, the Lingxi Archipelago had only First Rank Spirit Veins, and Second Rank Spirit Veins were relatively rare and scattered, so some Great Powers did not look at this place.

They were also not interested in coming here to contend for any resources.

It was just right for him to develop steadily and farm.

Qin Ming planned to go to Canghai Immortal City to plan for the Foundation Establishment Pill after he broke through to the Qi Refining Stage Great Completion.

The water of Lingxi Archipelago had been heading north, and was enveloped by a year-round Mysterious Mist, even the Divine Sense of the Golden Core Stage could not see through it, and entering it meant never returning.

Legend has it that beyond the Mysterious Mist to the north was the ‘Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’ that Su Yuqing had mentioned when he left, a Cultivation Place with even richer resources.

And it existed, which he could only see in books, Nascent Soul True Monarch, unifying the four nations.

……

Currently, Qin Ming’s Spiritual Sense and Qi and Blood had already met the requirements.

Only the last hurdle remained, which was the Magical Power.

With his four-element fake Talent, without fully cultivating the ‘Supreme Wood Dharma Body,’ and in the absence of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even if he had the Foundation Establishment Spirit Item ‘Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid’ obtained from Fellow Daoist Feng, the probability of Foundation Establishment failure was still very high.

This time, he would go to the Lingxi Archipelago, naturally to rent Spirit Fields above the Second Rank Spirit Veins.

It was enough for him, a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.

He will cultivate his Natal Spirit Plant, and cultivate 《 Ancient Wood Longevity Technique 》, naturally the higher the Grade of the Spirit Vein the better.

Since he could not find a better place at the moment, he could barely accept the Second Rank Spirit Vein.

After all, his Natal Spirit Plant Black Vine did not have high requirements for the Spirit Vein growth environment, as long as there were Blood Beads.

Of course, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would still have to replace it with a Spirit Vein of a higher Grade.

It also belonged to Icing on the Cake.

And that’s it.

Qin Ming’s development in the Lingxi Archipelago, the distance from Canghai Immortal City was not very far.

He would still maintain close contact with Gu Qingzhao.

In a certain sense, she was now the key link for Qin Ming to obtain the upper-level information of the Cultivation World.

She was also his important Connections.

After considering his future destination, Qin Ming took out a Spirit Essence Pill and meditated to cultivate.

The Next Day.

Qin Ming found Gu Qingzhao and explained his destination.

“Lingxi Archipelago?”

Gu Qingzhao showed a trace of surprise, but then said: “It’s not bad for Fellow Daoist Qin to develop in the Lingxi Archipelago, it’s not far from us, and we can take care of each other.”

“Moreover, the Spirit Soil here is fertile, which is also quite suitable for Fellow Daoist Qin to cultivate Spirit Plants.”

“Speaking of which. Fellow Daoist Qin knows, why is this place called Lingxi Archipelago?” Gu Qingzhao smiled and asked with the meaning of a Test.

Qin Ming heard the words and revealed a Bitter Smile, “I am ignorant and unlearned, and for a moment I do not know the reason.”

“It is rumored that when this island was first formed, it was a kind of bird that carried the Spirit Seeds of Spirit Rice from somewhere, and accidentally dropped them on the island, thus growing a kind of unknown Second Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Rice, which could greatly enhance the Magical Power Cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was very rare, and was named Lingxi Rice.”

“This Spirit Rice was once all the rage, but later no one could cultivate it, and it gradually disappeared here, and it is almost impossible to see it now,” Gu Qingzhao explained with some regret.

Qin Ming suddenly Realized: “So that’s it, I didn’t expect there to be such a story.”

“By the way, this Pavilion’s Magic Boat will set off in two days, does Fellow Daoist Qin have anything else to prepare?” Gu Qingzhao asked.

Qin Ming shook his head, “I am all prepared, I can set off at any time.”

“This time, when going to Canghai Immortal City, it will take a long time, and this Pavilion will hold an Auction on the boat at that time, Fellow Daoist Qin can come and participate.” Gu Qingzhao said slowly.

“Of course, if Fellow Daoist Qin has other items to sell, you can also give them to me to be auctioned.”
