Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

"Facing the inquiries from the Upper Sect, the Netherworld Sect likely realized they couldn’t hide the matter, so they took the chance to leak the information about the Demon Ancient Holy Hall to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Since they couldn’t have it themselves, they wouldn’t let the Netherworld Sect enjoy this Secret Realm alone."

Qin Ming heard this and slowly nodded, thinking to himself that Baili Hui truly had a wide network and was resourceful, obtaining such crucial intelligence in such a short time.

"Hmm, you’ve done well. Next, you should stay here and continue gathering various intelligence. I need to go out for a while."

Baili Hui’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, cautiously asking, "Elder Lii, are you perhaps preparing to venture into that Demon Ancient Holy Hall to seek treasure?"

Qin Ming did not hide it from him and merely nodded noncommittally.

Upon hearing this, Baili Hui, being a savvy survivor for many years, had already vaguely guessed it.

Initially, he was worried—after all, his own life was in Elder Lii’s hands; if the other fell, he would have to go down as well.

However, after witnessing the Tier Five Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow, he gained a clearer understanding of Elder Lii’s capabilities.

It’s estimated that within the Divinity Transformation Stage, no one would be his match, and even against a Void Refining Stage opponent, he could retreat unscathed.

"Then I wish Elder Lii swift success!" Baili Hui said with a sycophantic smile.

Qin Ming stood up and said, "Let’s go. We have been here for a few days; let’s also try the local specialties."

Baili Hui grinned at the mention of food and hurriedly followed.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat in the Little Spirit Realm heard there was food and quickly ran out, clinging to Qin Ming’s pant leg, flattering him eagerly, "Master, hehe! Last time, I discovered a treasure mountain and made a great contribution..."

Qin Ming bent down to pat the Heaven-Devouring Rat on the head, "Alright then, consider this a reward for you."

Lan Bing Fairy also appeared, disguised as an ordinary woman.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming estimated that, including the four in the Little Spirit Realm, it would be a considerable expense...

Before long.

He led Baili Hui, Lan Bing Fairy, and the Heaven-Devouring Rat out of the inn and entered a quaintly decorated restaurant.

As soon as they entered, an enthusiastic waiter approached them.

"Welcome, esteemed guests, to ’Wangchuan Pavilion.’ Our establishment offers all kinds of immortal mansion delicacies, including the ’Soul Crossing Spirit Fish,’ which is rare even in the entire Devouring Abyss. This fish is renowned in the surrounding areas, hehe!"

The waiter deftly guided the four to a window seat, served tea promptly, and introduced the offerings zealously.

The purpose of Qin Ming’s visit was precisely for the famous fish.

According to Profound Nine Yin’s memory, the Devouring Abyss produced a rare outer-world ’Soul Crossing Spirit Fish,’ which fed on the souls of the deceased and was an extremely peculiar immortal mansion delicacy.

It’s said that even the cheapest Soul Crossing Spirit Fish can increase the mana of Nascent Soul cultivators.

And those high-tier Soul Crossing Spirit Fish can not only greatly boost the mana cultivation of Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, but also bear a kind of spiritual object called ’Rebirth Pearl’ within them, which is exceptionally effective in deepening one’s insight into realms and can even be used for cultivating Great Divine Techniques.

These are even more precious than spiritual pills for the Divinity Transformation Stage.

However, such Soul Crossing Spirit Fish only exist in the Nether River, are scarce, and due to the constant presence of Bone-Eroding Yin Miasma in the Nether River, making the water dangerous and hard to fish in, they are rare and valuable.

Three hundred years ago, there was a cultivator who caught three top-grade Soul Crossing Spirit Fish containing Rebirth Pearls, triggering a bloody scramble among several major powers.

Not until the Profound Celestial Sword Sect intervened and mediated was the chaos calmed, showcasing the fish’s preciousness.

Once Qin Ming settled down, he casually said, "Bring me eight Low-Tier Soul Crossing Spirit Fish and a full assortment of your signature dishes."

"What?!" The waiter was taken aback by the request, "Um... even the low-tier Soul Crossing Spirit Fish aren’t cheap, you see..."

"Just bring it up quickly, why stall? And make sure to pick the big ones. Would my master shortchange you on Spirit Stones?" The Heaven-Devouring Rat snapped the table and said.

"Yes, yes!" The waiter hurriedly noted down the order and went to inform the kitchen.

Running along, he pondered to himself:

’Judging by their appearance, they all seem so ordinary, yet I didn’t expect them to be so wealthy. Truly, appearances can be deceiving.’

After two incense sticks’ time.

A full table of dishes was brought up.

The most eye-catching of which was the steamed spirit fish.

Its semi-transparent body had a flowing azure essence, and the fins swayed like two Soul Summoning Banners, looking quite unusual.

It exuded a light blue mist, releasing a rich fragrance that made one salivate.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat couldn’t wait any longer, but since Qin Ming hadn’t started, it naturally dared not begin eating.

Qin Ming took four spirit fish and some dishes, sending them to the Little Silver Fox, Tian Ling’er, Profound Water Crocodile, and Silver-winged Frost Bee. Since it was a feast, none should be shortchanged.

He casually told everyone at the table, "Let’s eat."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat and Baili Hui, not standing on ceremony, immediately began feasting...

After a few rounds of drinking and tasting five flavors of meals.

Just as the master and servants were enjoying themselves.

A group of people entered the restaurant from outside, all dressed in the unified white robes with silver patterns of a sect, each exuding youthful vigor and elegance.

Their arrival hadn’t even completed when they already caused quite a stir among the cultivators outside.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, overhearing whispers from the street:

"It’s actually the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. I didn’t expect such high-profile figures to appear at the Treasure Harbor Market. Is something happening?"

"Hiss! That handsome young cultivator leading them seems to be at least Late-stage Divinity Transformation, right? Even I, an old man, can’t discern his cultivation..."

Qin Ming released his Divine Thought for just an instant sweep and found that they were all Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators without exception.

The handsome young leader, with a tall build and a faint silver sword mark on his forehead, possessed Late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation. Moreover, his mana cultivation was exceptionally deep, likely far surpassing other cultivators of the same tier.

Upon entering Wangchuan Pavilion, they were respectfully welcomed by the shopkeeper and went straight to the second floor.

Qin Ming withdrew his gaze and continued eating his spirit fish.

However, when the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s group reached the second floor, the leading young man glanced inadvertently toward Qin Ming and his group by the window.

He paused his steps, amidst the curious gazes of his companions, and walked over to Qin Ming’s table.
