Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

As the saying goes, the bustling world is driven by profit, and all commotion stems from the pursuit of profit.

Celestial Star City is located in the Star Meteor Desert of the Kunlun Realm, a special geographical location surrounded by various alien races. The resources and products among these diverse tribes are extremely rich. Countless rare treasures and exotic treasures, Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Materials, demon beast materials, and so on are traded here.

The spirit vein environment here is also of Tier Six and above.

"I appreciate Elder Lin’s kind invitation, but I am accustomed to the carefree life of a wandering cloud and wild crane, and joining the Star Guard may not be suitable for me..." Qin Ming politely declined.

Elder Lin was somewhat surprised to hear this, as he did not expect anyone could reject the temptation of power without the slightest interest.

Looking at Qin Ming’s expression, it seemed like he genuinely wasn’t pretending.

"Haha! Since Friend Lii is aiming for a pastoral life and has his own ideas, I shall not insist. I have other mundane affairs to manage, Nephew Yao, please take them down for arrangements."

Although the skills and cultivation Qin Ming displayed piqued the interest of this elder at the Void Refining Stage, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator in his eyes was merely so, without too much attention.

And so, he issued an order for guests to leave.

"Yes, Elder Lin!"

Yao Tiannan clasped his fists in salute, then led Qin Ming out of the Heaven-Holding Hall.

He instructed his subordinates to go to the Merit Hall to claim the task rewards, while he personally escorted Qin Ming through the teleportation to the Inner City.

"I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Lii to be a steadfast cultivator with such a firm mind. If you ever change your mind, you can come to the Star Guard Camp to find me." Yao Tiannan led him to a bustling street and then said.

Qin Ming expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Lord Yao, for your care today. If there’s ever a need for me, feel free to send a message."

"No need to be so formal. I’m also originally a Loose Cultivator, so just passing through and helping is no big deal." Yao Tiannan waved off the formality.

He didn’t think much of it. Being the Star Guard Captain, there was little he needed Qin Ming’s help with.

Yao Tiannan considered it as Qin Ming merely being polite, so he didn’t dwell on it.

"By the way, if you’re looking to rent a spiritual cave mansion long-term, you can find Shopkeeper Cao at the Celestial Palace Treasure Tower. The force behind this shop is quite formidable, known as the Celestial Travel Trading Company; they have a great deal of prime spirit land for sale or lease within the jurisdiction of Celestial Star City."

"Oh? Is that so? Thank you, Lord Yao, for the information."

Since Qin Ming had revealed his identity as a Spirit Plant Master, he certainly needed suitable spirit fields to plant spirit plants. Hence, Yao Tiannan naturally introduced him.

After introducing Qin Ming, Yao Tiannan also took his leave to manage his own affairs.

After bidding farewell, Qin Ming, with Mo Lingwei, randomly found an inn to temporarily stay in.

This was a high-end residential area of Celestial Star City, with a variety of inns and cave mansions available.

However, the prices were overwhelming, much more expensive than in other places.

Ordinary cultivators could not afford it; the room rate for a single night started at several hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The following day.

Qin Ming contacted Baili Hui through a talisman.

When Qin Ming found him, he saw Baili Hui working as a handyman in a shop on the outskirts to earn a living.

Upon seeing Qin Ming’s arrival, Baili Hui adjusted the small melon cap on his head, showing an expression of excited enthusiasm, and hurriedly bowed in greeting, "Elder Lii, you’re here! I’ve been eagerly waiting for you, truly wonderful!"

"Baili Hui, how did you end up like this? Hiding in a corner?" Qin Ming teased him, seeing his appearance.

Baili Hui, rubbing his hands awkwardly, said, "Cough! Isn’t it because the cave mansion rental fees in Celestial Star City are too high? Besides, my cultivation hasn’t recovered, and I haven’t obtained an identity plate, which prevents me from staying in the city long-term. So, I can only work odd jobs and gather information here."

"The spirit stones you left for me were all spent on gathering intel..."

"I see, then it’s not your fault, let’s go!"

Seeing this, Qin Ming patted Baili Hui’s shoulder and immediately took him out of the Outer City into the Inner City’s residential area.

Upon entering the inn room.

Baili Hui saw a stranger lady and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Elder Lii, is this by chance still Elder Lan Bing?"

He thought it might be the disguised Lan Bing Fairy.

Qin Ming explained, "This is another Fellow Daoist; her name is Mo Lingwei, known as Qingxia Fairy. She will be working with you for me in the future."

"Oh! So it’s Elder Qingxia, truly an honor!" Baili Hui quickly greeted her.

Mo Lingwei smiled gracefully: "Baili Fellow Daoist’s matters have already been conveyed to me by our master. Since you were also in Divinity Transformation Realm previously, no need to stand on ceremony. Let us address each other as equals. I am new here and will need Fellow Daoist Baili’s guidance."

"Haha! In that case, it’s good, we’re all working for Elder Lii, I shall give my utmost." Baili Hui kept bowing, looking rather amusing.

Subsequently.

After Qin Ming set a restriction in the room to isolate sound, he began to inquire with Baili Hui about the situation in Celestial Star City.

"Has the information I asked you to gather shown any clues?"

Baili Hui knew that he was referring to intel on Xiao Xun, Su Yuqing, and Cloud-Fishing Elder.

"Reporting to Elder Lii, over the years in Celestial Star City, I have gathered information through various channels. According to reliable intelligence, Elder Xiao Xun was taken by people from Star Palace and should be cultivating in one of the Human Race’s Three Great Sacred Lands, promising a bright future. Elder Lii need not worry too much."
