Chapter 39: Enticement

He sent Old Nine Cai away.

Qin Ming closed the courtyard gate and immediately began to ponder alone.

He also didn’t expect that the Spirit Feather Sect’s Teleportation Array would be repaired so quickly. According to the current situation, his situation would become extremely embarrassing.

Qin Ming is now living under someone else’s roof, serving corvée labor within the Spirit Feather Sect. Everything is beyond his control, and he is everywhere constrained by the sect.

The upper echelons’ decisions of the sect change as they please. Today they drag you to the Frontline Battle Camp to be cannon fodder, and tomorrow they’ll prohibit you from privately selling Spirit Rice.

Normally, they’ll exploit your body, and in times of war, they’ll use your life!

These sects simply don’t treat them, these Spirit Farmers, as people. They’re purely treating them like cattle and horses.

Besides that.

The Cultivation World is full of wind and cloud intrigue, and the situation changes in an instant. Don’t look at how the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley, the two sects, are now on good terms.

You never know, one day, they’ll turn hostile for the sake of the Cloud Marsh Wilderness’s resource interests, and they’ll start a war at the slightest disagreement.

At that time, the ones who will be affected first will still be those Low-Level Cultivators.

The Frontline Battle Camp, has been fighting with those barbaric cultivators for several years, and has yet to make any progress, nor has it gained any benefits, but has suffered heavy losses.

What does this show?

Those natives in the deep of the Cloud Marsh Wilderness, are probably not as easy to handle as the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley.

If those natives counterattack, that would be a Major Event.

“I must make plans early.”

Qin Ming’s gaze flickered uncertainly. In his heart now, the desire to leave the Spirit Feather Sect is becoming ever stronger!

“Running away directly is a bit unrealistic.”

“I still need to find a Method to get rid of the corvée labor and then regain my freedom.”

He pondered for a while.

To get rid of the Spirit Feather Sect’s corvée labor, he must meet any one of the three Conditions given by the sect.

The first condition is to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Qin Ming directly ignored this. It’s too impossible for him to establish his foundation in a short time.

The second condition is to hand over any resource that assists Foundation Establishment. Hmm, also skip this. He doesn’t even have such rare resources, so he can’t hand over anything.

Thinking it over and over.

Qin Ming felt that the third condition was more promising and highly feasible, which is to reach the Second Grade Level in any of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

He is now a First Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master, and after next year, he is estimated to be able to ascend to a First-Rank High-Grade Spirit Plant Master.

Qin Ming has the Attribute in hand, and he has a great hope of breaking through to a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.

But he doesn’t know at present what conditions he needs to meet to ascend to a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.

He still has to go to the Deacon’s Hall to ask a question or two another day.

Thinking of this.

Qin Ming’s eyes were Firm, and he has made a Decision regarding his future plans.

Then he began to seriously think about how to deal with the matter of selling Beast Fang Rice next year.

Time flew by, and more than half a month passed.

Not surprisingly, it was the same as what Old Nine Cai said.

This year, when spring plowing, Elder Gu brought people to the Spirit Field and announced the prohibition on the private sale of Spirit Rice.

This is nothing short of adding insult to injury for the Spirit Farmers.

This year, Qin Ming still planted Gold Spirit Rice in the three Spirit Fields.

Then he unleashed the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique to bring down the Spirit Rain.

……

After finishing the matters in the Spirit Field.

Qin Ming returned to the courtyard and began his day-to-day Bitter Cultivation.

《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》, under his accumulation of a large amount of Top-Grade Blood Locust Rice, he forcefully cultivated the Body Refining Technique to the Sixth Level Peak.

The five 【Weak Qi and Blood】 and two 【Abundant Qi and Blood】 Attributes within his Sea of Consciousness, were also used up by him one after another.

Even with this degree of Qi and Blood accumulation, he still failed to breakthrough to the seventh level of Body Refining.

It can be imagined, the terrifying amount of Qi and Blood Spirit Materials required in the late stage of 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》.

As for Magical Power Cultivation.

Qin Ming can now refine Qi Condensation Pill by himself. Although the Pill’s Effect is far inferior to Spirit Gathering Pill.

But the Magical Power in his body is also increasing steadily.

On this day.

Qin Ming was cultivating when the Undulation came from the Formation Restriction outside the courtyard gate.

He stopped cultivating, opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to the door to look outside.

He had seen this person.

The person who came had a Wooden Crown, Jade Belt, pale Skin, proud Appearance, eyes with a hint of swelling, and was constantly yawning.

Qi Refining Stage seven level Cultivation, slightly short in stature, wearing the Spirit Feather Sect’s Azure Inner Sect Clothing.

Although he is a descendant of a wealthy family, it can be seen that he lingered in the pleasure quarters too much.

This person is the short Cultivator who, that day on the Street, was with Jiang Kun’s group, and who snatched the Old Man’s Treasure.

Perhaps because he followed Jiang Kun for a long time, he is as arrogant as his master.

Qin Ming frowned when he saw this person.

In his Heart, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Unlucky.”

But he still braced himself and opened the door for the other party. After all, the other party was from the Spirit Feather Sect.

“Oh, Fellow Daoist Qin, right?”

“I am Chen Zi’ang of the Spirit Feather Sect.”

“I heard that Fellow Daoist ascended to Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master a few days ago? Congratulations!”

“Senior Brother Jiang now wants to invite you to Mingzhen Tower for a drink, Fellow Daoist Qin. Please give us some face?”

Chen Zi’ang, in an abnormal state, had a Smiling Smile on his face, and invited with a very sincere Attitude.

When Qin Ming heard this, he knew that it wasn’t up to him to Agree or not.

This time, he couldn’t evade it no matter what.

“Since Senior Brother Jiang’s Invitation, then please, Fellow Daoist Chen, lead the way.”

Qingyang Marketplace, after all, is under their Spirit Feather Sect’s Jurisdiction, and Jiang Kun’s group won’t do anything too outrageous on the surface.

Moreover, there are various complex Powers within the marketplace, and among them, there are many Powers that even as Core Disciples of the Spirit Feather Sect, they’d have to Weigh it up.

Mirror Snow Pavilion is one of them.

……

“Fellow Daoist Qin, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

In the Private Room of Mingzhen Tower, Jiang Kun, a Core Disciple of the Spirit Feather Sect, with a blue-based gold-threaded Magic Robe and a dignified appearance, was sizing up Qin Ming with a smile in his Phoenix Eyes.

“Senior Brother Jiang invited me, I don’t know”

“Not in a hurry, not in a hurry, first taste this fine-brewed Spirit Grain wine.”

Jiang Kun took out two White Jade Wine Cups and personally poured wine for Qin Ming.

Then he poured a cup for himself, saluted Qin Ming on the opposite side, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Ming was a little flattered by his Greet.

He picked up the Wine Cup in front of him, without a hint of hesitation, and also drank it down in one gulp.

The 《Hundred Treasures Glazed Scripture》 he cultivates is immune to all poisons, and he is not afraid of the other party playing tricks in the wine.

The Spirit Grain wine entered his throat.

The taste was mellow and sharp, and the Spiritual Energy lingered between his lips and teeth. It was indeed Fine Wine.

“Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed a Happy person.”

A trace of undetectable Accident flashed in Jiang Kun’s eyes.

Then he raised a smile at the corner of his Mouth, “Speaking of which, I still had a little Misunderstanding with Fellow Daoist Qin last time. On that day in the Deacon’s Hall, I got a Quota for my subordinates. In my impatience, my Tone was a little harsh, and I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

“Haha, Senior Brother Jiang is joking. If Senior Brother hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this Matter.” Qin Ming forced a smile, and said with a fake Smile.

“Then it seems I was overthinking. Fellow Daoist Qin is so generous, I will punish myself with a drink.” After saying this, Jiang Kun actually poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Then Jiang Kun talked to him about some things in recent years.

For example, regarding Spirit Rice cultivation, he praised Qin Ming to no end, and also congratulated him on his Ascension to Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Master.

Of course, it also included how he got into a Relationship with Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Qin Ming spoke to people according to the person, and to ghosts according to the ghost.

He said what he could say, and he vaguely mentioned everything he couldn’t.

If it wasn’t for Qin Ming personally seeing Jiang Kun’s true Appearance some time ago.

At this moment, he would really think that the other party was a Master Senior Martial Brother who valued the worthy and treated people affably.

After a Few Rounds of Drinks.

Jiang Kun’s face was smiling, and he took out an exquisite Jade Box from his Storage Bag, and gently pushed it in front of Qin Ming.

“A little Kindness, I hope Fellow Daoist Qin will accept it.”

Qin Ming was a little bewildered by the other party’s operation.

“Senior Brother Jiang, what is the meaning of this?”

While Qin Ming was puzzled, he reached out and opened the Jade Box to take a look.

The contents inside couldn’t help but move him.

Five round, clear Spirit Stones, emitting a dazzling light, the Rich Spiritual Energy contained within can be felt from a distance.

It’s actually Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

Each one can be exchanged for a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and sometimes there will be an upward fluctuation.

This is equivalent to more than five hundred Spirit Stones.

In addition, there was an exquisite Porcelain Bottle in the Jade Box.

Qin Ming picked up the Porcelain Bottle and opened it, and a refreshing Pill Fragrance came.

Inside, there was a deep green Spirit Pill.

He was very Familiar with this kind of Pill, and Qin Ming had personally seen Su Yuqing refine it.

“Late Qi Refining Breakthrough Pill——Marrow Cleansing Pill!”
