Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 350 - 329: Qilin Island

Half a year later.

The Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship of the Qilian Trading Company was steadily sailing on the Black Sea, getting closer and closer to Qilin Island.

The situation on the Black Sea was treacherous, with hurricanes and huge waves emerging one after another, not to mention the fierce Sea Beasts lurking in the depths of the sea.

These Sea Beasts would occasionally attack passing ships on the sea. Even though there were many cultivators escorting the Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship, it was still quite a tormenting journey.

Throughout this long sea journey, the fleet experienced several crises, finally managing to leave the dangerous sea area.

There was even one time when they encountered a massive group of Blood Sea Frenzied Sharks, numbering in the thousands, with the dozen leading Blood Sea Frenzied Demon Sharks being at late-stage Tier Two, each one as big as a hundred feet.

Once collided with, the ship would sink to the sea bottom.

If it wasn’t for a sudden sea storm, the Dharma Ship of the Qilian Trading Company would have almost faced the shark group head-on.

Even so, it made everyone on the ship break out in a cold sweat.

Capsizing in the Black Sea is no joke.

Han Yuan and the other two also looked tense, evidently this was the first time they encountered such an event.

"It seems that traveling once to Great Jin is really not easy, not to mention the long journey, the only passage is fraught with dangers."

"Any power without some strength simply can’t make it across."

Standing on the deck, Qin Ming gazed at the raging waves and the boundless Black Sea, speaking with emotion.

"Naturally, apart from the specially made Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship of Great Jin, other ships can’t withstand the winds and waves of this sea area."

"That’s why even the infamous pirates don’t dare to appear on the Black Sea."

"The most dangerous are instead the natural disasters and Sea Beasts."

The tall, slender middle-aged cultivator Gao Feng, standing next to Qin Ming, explained with a smile.

Qin Ming nodded, recalling everything experienced in this time.

During this past half year, he hadn’t neglected his cultivation and farming.

After all, he now owned this Little Spirit Realm, which was a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, where he could cultivate and farm anytime and anywhere, very conveniently.

The Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine was also continuously growing robustly.

The Three-headed Spirit Beast didn’t need much oversight from Qin Ming, they were all diligently cultivating within the environment of the Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Vein.

During this time, the Heaven-Devouring Rat was sent by Qin Ming to farm, to open up unclaimed areas in the Little Spirit Realm.

This often led it to grumble endlessly inside...

Qin Ming was enjoying the breeze on the deck.

Just then.

A voice like a great bell suddenly rang out again over the entire Dharma Ship.

"Everyone, please return to the cabins to take shelter, as the upcoming sea area will pass through a Spirit-Extinguishing Mist region, roughly five hundred miles in range."

"Repeating once again, everyone..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and the others furrowed their brows and turned back into the cabin, shutting the doors and windows tightly.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Han, is this Mist similar to the Northern Marshes?" Qin Ming asked.

Han Yuan, sitting down, took a sip of tea and explained faintly, "Indeed, the sea area we’re passing now borders the northeastern part of the Spirit-Extinguishing Land, and occasionally Mist extends over the sea due to weather conditions."

"But do not worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, the Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship is protected by a specially made Defense Array, and it is generally safe."

"Oh, so the Northern Marsh is actually called the Spirit-Extinguishing Land." Qin Ming nodded in sudden realization.

At this time, the voluptuous woman Liu Ye also chuckled softly while explaining, "The Spirit-Extinguishing Land means that the Mist can devour a cultivator’s Mana until exhaustion and death, and even a Golden Core Master can’t withstand this corrosive power."

"I see."

Qin Ming nodded, this time having gained a general understanding.

Half a day later.

The Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship of Qilian Trading Company passed through a stretch of grey Mist that was pitch-dark, making it impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face. The cultivators inside looked out, only to see an eerie, terrifying aura that seemed ready to devour everything.

Qin Ming silently released a wisp of Divine Thought to explore the Mist outside the window, but the next moment, he was horrified to discover that his wisp of Divine Thought, on par with Golden Core Perfection, was instantly swallowed by the grey mist, vanishing without a trace.

He quickly withdrew his Divine Thought, a pale expression appearing on his face.

’It seems this Mist in the Spirit-Extinguishing Land is indeed formidable, even stronger than the Mist Illusion Realm on Wangyue Island by several times.’

Apparently noticing Qin Ming’s abnormality.

Across from him, Han Yuan spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Lu, is there anything making you uncomfortable?"

"No worries, I might just not be used to such a long voyage, feeling a bit fatigued." Qin Ming said with an awkward smile.

Hearing this, the silver-haired elder Han Yuan nodded and took out a jade bottle of pills from his pocket, handing it to Qin Ming. "That’s quite normal. When this old man first went to sea, my reactions were worse than yours. After all, not everyone can adapt to a half-year’s continuous journey their first time."

"This bottle of Wind Mist Pill can alleviate some of the fatigue."

"Additionally, there’s another thing to inform you, Fellow Daoist Lu. While passing through the Spirit-Extinguishing Mist, never use Divine Thought to probe, as it can lightly harm your mind, or in severe cases, devour your Divine Soul, leading to death, so take heed!"

Qin Ming was so startled by the words that he broke out in a cold sweat, almost letting curiosity kill the cat.

He didn’t hesitate, having become quite familiar with the three of them over the past half a year.

So, he took the jade bottle, poured out a sweet green Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.

’It’s actually a Tier Two Pill...’

...

Several days later.

The Dharma Ship of Qilian Trading Company passed through the eerie mist, and the sunlight outside once again bathed the ship, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere.

Gradually.

An enormous island came into view for everyone.

On the island, a massive volcano towered high, continuously emitting thick smoke.

At first glance, it looked like a chimney standing on the sea, extremely striking.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we’ve arrived at Qilin Island!"

Han Yuan and the other two looked at the distant island, with a look of joy in their eyes, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"We’ve finally arrived, I was feeling suffocated."

"This job truly isn’t easy."

"Once we return to the Commerce Alliance Headquarters and finish reporting, we need a good rest."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we hit it off right from the start and drank a lot of your good wine. When we arrive in the Great Jin, we three will host you; you must join us for a drink."

Han Yuan warmly said to Qin Ming.

"Of course, of course."

Qin Ming responded with a smile, finding the three people from Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance to be straightforward and worth befriending.

An hour later.

The full view of Qilin Island was expanding in Qin Ming’s sight.

The Dharma Ship of Qilian Trading Company slowly docked at the island’s wharf.

Hundreds of cultivators wearing attire of alternating red and purple, with emblems of three intertwined flames on their sleeves and lapels, representing the badge of Lihuo Palace Sect.

Symbolizing the overlord-level status of a Nascent Soul Sect.

The stationed cultivators of Lihuo Palace appeared at the port and began to check identities one by one.

After verifying identities and handing over the Holy Fire Order to go ashore.

Qin Ming also followed the crowd onto the island.

As he stepped onto Qilin Island, he suddenly felt an extremely rich and scorching aura hit him.

Everywhere he looked.

Although this island was barren, with black and gray rocks and ash from volcanic eruptions scattered everywhere, visibly mottled and dilapidated.

Yet—

"Such dense Fire Spirit Qi..."

"This is... purely a Tier Three High-Grade Fire Attribute Spiritual Vein!"

For a moment, he couldn’t help but be secretly amazed, marveling at the wonders of the Great Dao’s creations.

He instantly felt that this trip was worthwhile.

"Unexpectedly, above the vast Black Sea, there is such a fiery place, possessing a High-Tier Spiritual Vein, truly spectacular."

Hearing Qin Ming’s amazement, the tall and thin cultivator Gao Feng leaned over, chuckling, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you may not know that this Qilin Island was discovered by a Nascent Soul Great Power attempting to cross the Black Sea."

"Don’t be fooled by the desolation on the island; besides the Tier Three High-Grade Fire Spirit Vein, it is extremely rich in various spiritual ore resources."

"It especially produces a rare spiritual material known as Qilin Jade Crystal, which is invaluable for Alchemy, Spirit Plant cultivation, and Artifact Refining."

"The toll income from the Teleportation Array is just a small part; the island’s resources are the mainstay."

"It is also a crucial location for Lihuo Palace, given that Qilin Island’s geographical position is extremely pivotal. The island’s Teleportation Array connects the Great Jin with various parts of the Cultivation Realm, serving as an important hub."

As Qin Ming listened to Gao Feng’s introduction, he walked inside.

Soon after, a layer of bluish Defense Array appeared before Qin Ming. Inside were numerous buildings constructed from black Profound Stones, forming two large areas, with a network of stone paths connecting through the center.

Many cultivators were inside, shouting and vigorously selling various goods.

This allowed Qin Ming to experience a unique cultural atmosphere.

"Passing Fellow Daoists, come take a look!"

"Freshly caught Tier Two Mid-Stage Deep Sea Demon Eel, a must-have tonic for Body Refining Cultivators, also possessing the effect of enhancing stamina, only nine-nine-eight!"
