Chapter 61: Gaining Fame In The Marketplace

Cool Breeze Cottage.

The morning sun shone, and a gentle breeze stirred.

Qin Ming looked through the gifts his neighbors had given him yesterday and couldn’t help but sigh.

“This cultivation is all about social graces!”

If any of those cultivators achieved a breakthrough in the future, he would have to return the favor.

Putting away the things and not thinking about it anymore, Qin Ming got up and left the room.

He strolled to the courtyard and went directly towards the corner.

Hum hum hum hum～

After a period of time, the beehive hanging on the Withered Blood Poison Vine was at least a size larger.

Qin Ming looked closer, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

“Why have these Four-Winged Frost Bees become so irritable?”

He calmed his mind and used the Bee-Driving Technique to quickly communicate with the Bee Queen, but was astonished to find that it had fallen into Sleep, as if it was undergoing a Breakthrough!

Qin Ming’s Spirit was shaken, and he casually took a Frost Bee and observed it in his hand.

Only to see that on the body of the Four-Winged Frost Bee, there were a few veins of purple stripes.

The size of all the Frost Bees had grown a lot, and they were undergoing a collective Transformation!

This group of natives Bee Swarm in Cloud Marsh Wilderness, it looks like they are about to Advance into First Rank Spirit Insects!

“Why did they suddenly Advance?” Qin Ming was both surprised and delighted.

“Could it be related to those three Demon Flowers of the Withered Blood Poison Vine?”

After he carefully and repeatedly confirmed it, he confirmed that the Changes of the Bee Swarm were brought about by the Purple Demonic Flowers.

The reason was that the purple stripes on the Frost Bees were almost exactly the same as the veins of the Purple Demonic Flowers.

And the Bee Queen in the center of the beehive, its body had grown to the size of a fist, it seemed to have obtained great Benefits, and its Aura had completely Advanced into First-Order, Low-Grade Spirit Insects.

Qin Ming thought for a moment, and with a thought, he used two 【Accelerate Ripening】 Attributes, and Accelerated Ripening those three Purple Demonic Flowers to a state of complete bloom.

A fragrance full of temptation instantly filled the entire courtyard.

Hum hum hum～

Now, the Spirit Bee Swarm were even more Excited!

Qin Ming was not in a hurry to completely Accelerate Ripening those few flowers of the Withered Blood Poison Vine, he wanted to wait a Few Days to see what Changes these Spirit Bees would have.

“I didn’t expect to have unexpected Harvest.”

……

Noon.

Qin Ming left the Courtyard Gate and walked on the Street of Qingyang Marketplace.

He planned to Lease the Spirit Field on the Second Rank Spirit Vein.

On the Main Road.

Around the Shops, some familiar Cultivators, upon seeing Qin Ming, greeted him one after another.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, Congratulations! To achieve the Achievement of High-Grade Spirit Plant Master at such a young age!”

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin! You are indeed a Model among us Free Cultivators.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, Congratulations!”

As long as they were Old Man who were permanent residents in Qingyang Marketplace, they all Congratulated one after another.

The Cultivators passing by, their Gaze all focused on Qin Ming.

There were also some Cultivators who didn’t know Qin Ming, and they also began to inquire about the News.

“This shopkeeper, may I ask, who is that Fellow Daoist? Is he very powerful?”

“You don’t know?”

“Among the Spirit Farmers who performed Corvée Labor within the Spirit Feather Sect yesterday, there was a young Cultivator from a Clan who actually Low-Profile and successfully countered-attack, and he suddenly Advanced to High-Grade Spirit Plant Master!”

“That Spirit Farmer is Qin Ming, Fellow Daoist Qin!”

“From now on, Status will rise rapidly, and the Immortal Path is limitless!”

“And I heard that Fellow Daoist Qin and Su Yuqing, the Grandmaster, are also close friends. Besides being a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, he is also a Mid-Grade Alchemist!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that Fellow Daoist Qin held a Celebration feast at the Gathering Pavilion yesterday, everyone wouldn’t have known!”

“Among us Free Cultivators, it is rare to have such a Figure.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin can be called a Model among Spirit Farmers. A Bottom Spirit Farmer can step by step become a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, which is truly Inspirational! I plan to Visit him in a Few Days.”

……

Once Qin Ming went out, all along the way, there were Cultivators Congratulating him with Flattery, one after another.

It made him feel Ashamed.

“This is not good! People are afraid of becoming famous, and pigs are afraid of getting fat.”

“If I were targeted by Bandit Cultivators, that would be terrible.”

“Sigh! I still shouldn’t have had a Gathering!”

Qin Ming inwardly regretted it.

He first went to find Overseer Du Haifu and removed the Lease on the eight acres of Spirit Fields on the First-Order Spirit Vein.

“Sigh～ I didn’t expect it! Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard from the Elder within the Sect that you even passed such a difficult Assessment.”

“Your Reputation, now not only in Qingyang Marketplace, but even within the Spirit Feather Sect, has caused a small-Scope Sensation! Haha!”

Although his Spiritual Root Talent was Ordinary, but now he was only in his twenties, and after Advancing to High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, he could be considered a Potential young Cultivator.

Qin Ming sighed again when he heard this.

He didn’t want to be Low-Profile, but it wasn’t possible.

But his Goal was to become a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master, and sooner or Later he would also take this step.

Afterwards, he and Du Haifu Handled the Lease Removal Procedures.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, you are now a High-Grade Spirit Plant Master, and you are Qualified to Lease the Spirit Field on the Second Rank Spirit Vein.”

“You can go directly to the Deacon’s Hall to Handle it.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, don’t forget the people on our mountain, you can come and Visit us often when you have free time, hahaha!”

Du Haifu’s fat face smiled and flattered, and it looked like the Maitreya Buddha.

His Heart was also filled with complex Feelings.

From now on, Qin Ming would not be under his management.

After Farewell to Du Haifu.

Qin Ming came to the Deacon’s Hall and stated his Intention.

The Deacon of the Spirit Feather Sect in charge of the Second Rank Spirit Field, also gave him an Introduction with a gentle Attitude.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, the Second Rank Spirit Fields are all located in the eastern Area near Qingyang Marketplace. According to the proximity to the center of the Spirit Vein, they are divided into four Grades: First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade, and Fourth Grade. The Second Rank Spirit Fields are relatively Rare, and there are only about a hundred acres in total.”

“The First Grade Spirit Fields are the Areas with the best Environment and Spiritual Energy Density in the fields. Besides paying the Spirit Rice Taxes, you also need to pay three hundred Spirit Stones per acre each year.”

“The Second Grade Spirit Fields are second, and you need to pay two hundred Spirit Stones per acre each year.”

“The Third Grade Spirit Fields cost one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per acre each year, and the Fourth Grade Spirit Fields cost one hundred Spirit Stones per acre each year.”

Qin Ming thought for a moment and decided: “Lease five acres of First Grade Spirit Fields for me.”

The Deacon’s Smile became even more pronounced when he heard this.

“Okay, Fellow Daoist Qin, I’ll Handle it for you immediately.”

Qin Ming took out one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones and Delivered them to the Deacon.

The Deacon of the Spirit Feather Sect, quickly Handled the Spirit Field Leasing Procedures for him.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, this is the Spirit Field Lease Plate, keep it safe.”

Qin Ming took the Plate and Farewelled the Deacon’s Hall.

He couldn’t wait to Observe the Second Rank Spirit Fields, and see how they were.

Two incense sticks of Time.

Qin Ming came to the Second Rank Spirit Field in the east of the Marketplace.

What entered his Eyes was a picture of clear springs and green forests, Scenery, and Farmland, which was unique.

Especially the Spiritual Energy here was very Rich, and Qin Ming took a deep breath, and immediately had a Feeling of Joyful and Relaxed.

The Spirit Plants planted in the Spirit Fields here were all High-Grade or above.

And, there were Late Qi Refining Cultivators of the Spirit Feather Sect patrolling all day long.

But he walked around, and so far, he hadn’t seen any Spirit Field planting Second-Rank Spirit Plants.

Qin Ming came to his leased five acres of First Grade Spirit Fields.

The Spirit Fields here had been maintained very neatly, and only awaited him to plant Spirit Plants.

He squatted down and casually grabbed a handful of Spirit Soil from the Spirit Field, and carefully examined it.

The soil was quite fertile, which was very suitable for planting High-Grade Spirit Plants.

Qin Ming thought for a while and had already decided what kind of Spirit Plants to cultivate.

But he Prepared to go to the Gathering Pavilion to Purchase some Seeds.
