Longevity: Start by refreshing your entries through farming.

Chapter 417: Mountains and rivers change, but I remain the same
The northern border of Wei State, Lingqi Islands.

On the Wangyue Lake, the waves are vast and blue, and the mist is boundless. The surface of the lake is covered with a layer of mist, which refracts the sunlight and emits colorful rays of light, like a dream.

The Moon-Watching Island in the middle of the lake was still shrouded in a layer of mist that was impossible to penetrate.

After decades of development of Xiantian Xirang, the area of ​​the entire island has more than doubled compared to before.

Wangyue Island has also become a medium-sized spiritual island. What's more rare is that the island has a third-grade top-grade spiritual vein environment. In the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world, it is one of the best places for cultivation.

Within the Spirit Island, a blue light floated down into the outer spiritual field area.

When the escaping light converged and dissipated, a bright and beautiful young girl was revealed. She showed the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building. It was Wu Wangyue.

Wu Wangyue originally had a high aptitude for cultivation and possessed a congenital spiritual body. In addition, he had the support of resources within the Lei Yuan Sect, so his cultivation improved rapidly along the way.

In just a few decades, he has reached the middle stage of foundation building.

She looked excited, and said to a white-haired old man in the spiritual field, "Dad, I heard that the island master has returned to the Southern Wilderness?"

"I heard that not long ago, as soon as the island owner returned, he forcefully killed the big monster that besieged Canghai Immortal City."

"In the past two days, the fact that he completely eliminated the six sects of the Demonic Path has also caused a sensation in all the major immortal cities."

"Also, can you please stop working in the fields? You are already old, so just leave these things to the spiritual farmers below."

The white-haired old man stopped what he was doing. His face was covered with wrinkles from the years. It was vaguely recognizable as Wu Jiang. He smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. I thought that I, with my old bones, would never have the chance to see the island owner again."

"Dad, look at what you said!"

As the two were talking, a beam of purple light flew in from outside again and landed in front of them, revealing a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, who was also in the middle stage of foundation building. It was Wu Wangfeng.

Wu Wangfeng possesses the talent for cultivating immortals with earth-grade spiritual roots, and even among Lei Yuan, he is hailed as a genius.

The white-haired Wu Jiang looked at his children and nodded with satisfaction.

There are two things he is most proud of in his life.

First, when he was young, he held on to the right support and followed the right person, Qin Ming.

The second is that he had two heroes in one family, giving birth to this pair of children with good talent in cultivation, which also carried all his hopes.

Wu Jiang was well aware that his spiritual aptitude was mediocre, and it was a blessing from heaven that he succeeded in building a foundation at the age of seventy.

Although his life ended here, he was content.

Wu Jiang asked his son Wu Wangfeng, "Feng'er, have you gotten any news? Is the island owner really coming back?"

"Should we go to Canghai Xiancheng to greet and wait for them?"

"Father, according to the news, the island owner left and disappeared after he finished dealing with things in the Kingdom of Jin."

"I guess they are already on the way back to Ling Island. Perhaps the island master has his own considerations." Wu Wangfeng said after a little thought.

"In that case, let's pack up and wait for the island owner to return." Wu Jiang instructed calmly.

After saying this, he put away his spiritual hoe, and together with his two children, he took charge of the many spiritual farmers below and began to prepare and clean up.

at the same time.

The news that Qin Ming brought his spiritual pets with the force of thunder to eliminate the remnants of the evil, wipe out the beast tide, and rescue Master Pei Qing from the Beast King Valley spread throughout the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world like a huge wave.

At this point, the reputation of the legendary cultivator Master Wangyue has reached its peak in the minds of the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness.

……

After seven days.

"Finally, I'm back!"

A glittering and colorful Lingxiao treasure chariot turned into colorful streams of light in the sky. A giant black water crocodile led the way in front of the chariot, and seahorses pulled the chariot. The scene was magnificent and extraordinary.

After the treasure arrived over the Moon Watching Island, the pink mist covering the sky over the Spirit Island automatically dispersed as if it had met its master.

The Lingxiao chariot entered the Lingdao in an instant.

At the same time, several beams of light flew out from the island and landed in the air. They bowed and saluted Qin Ming's Lingxiao Treasure Chariot and said:

"Welcome the island master back to the island! Wu Jiang and his disciples will come to see the island master!"

Wu Jiang looked at the black water crocodile. He used to feed it when he was a child. Now its appearance and aura had changed greatly, revealing its domineering aura. Wu Jiang couldn't help but sigh.

It is true that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!

After a long time, an extremely familiar voice came from the carriage:

"Well, come meet me at Qingmu Pavilion on the main peak."

"As ordered!"

Immediately, Qin Ming casually raised his hand and completely dispelled the foggy illusion that shrouded the outside of Wangyue Island.

"From now on, Moon Watching Island will no longer need this illusion. Perhaps we need to set up a higher-level protective formation."

He remembered that in the "Magic Craftsmanship", there was a method for refining and making a fourth-level formation.
Immediately.

An island like a paradise appeared again in Qin Ming's sight. It was full of spiritual energy and its area had more than doubled.

Various spiritual plants were scattered across the peaks, and at the outermost edge were hundreds of acres of fertile spiritual fields, with lush spiritual rice swaying in the wind. The spiritual farmers working in the fields stared blankly into the sky, and kept kneeling down to worship the Lingxiao Treasure Chariot.
"What a huge change there has been on Moon-Watching Island!" The Sky-Eating Rat stuck its head out, looked at the pleasant scenery outside, and sighed.

After Qin Ming returned to the main peak, everything seemed familiar and friendly.

He released the three beasts, the Black Water Crocodile, the Sky-Devouring Rat, and the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, to play outside the island.

Having not returned for decades, these three spirit beasts were so excited that they could no longer contain their homesickness.

Inside the Qingmu Pavilion on the main peak.

Several people from the Wu family stood respectfully in the hall.

When they saw Qin Ming's face clearly when he returned, they couldn't help but feel envious.

Because decades had passed, the island master in front of him was like an evergreen tree, and when he left, he was still the same, without any change. But his cultivation had become unfathomable, and just standing in front of him gave people a great sense of pressure.

The same was true for Wu Wangfeng and Wu Wangyue. They had never felt such a powerful aura even from their supreme elder.

Similarly, Qin Ming looked at the people in front of him and felt deeply moved.

Especially Wu Jiang, who is now a white-haired old man. He sees that the green vitality in his body has faded, and he has at most 20 years of life left.

There are also Wu Wangyue and Wu Wangfeng. He has watched these two kids grow up since they were young. In a blink of an eye, they have grown from little brats into mature and steady geniuses of the sect.

After taking a quick look around, Qin Ming asked Wu Jiang, "Where is your father Wu Hanyuan?"

"Reporting to the island owner, my father passed away thirty years ago."

Qin Ming did not expect that many of his old friends would pass away after he returned this time.

"Time flies, and the world changes, and old friends grow old one after another."

'The waves have washed away, but I am the only one who remains standing.'

Next.

Qin Ming also learned about some of the situations that had occurred over the years with Wu Jiang and others and had a brief exchange for a while.

After chatting for a while, he took out a pill from his storage bag and gave it to Wu Jiang: "This is a longevity pill, which can extend your life for several dozen more years. After that, it all depends on your fate."

"When I came back, the furnishings of the cultivation caves and pavilions on the main peak had not changed, and the spiritual fields and plants were also well maintained."

"You have taken care of Spirit Island for me for decades. That's very thoughtful of you."

Even at Wu Jiang's age, his eyes turned red when he saw this scene, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

He took the jade bottle tremblingly: "High-level life-extending elixir! Island Master, how can I use this?"

"I am already in my twilight years, a pile of old bones, it is better to leave them to someone who can be of use."

"Well, you can decide for yourself." Qin Ming said calmly.

"Thank you, Island Master, for the elixir!"

After meeting with everyone on the island, Qin Ming asked them to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered something and called out to Wu Wangfeng.

"By the way, I heard that Brother Wei was injured while trying to reach a new realm. What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wangfeng hurriedly turned around and bowed. After struggling and hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Reporting to the island master, the Grand Elder did fail in his attempt to reach the late Jindan stage, which led to a reversal of his meridians and a serious injury. He has been suppressing his injuries over the years."

He didn't dare to speak carelessly about matters concerning the sect's important secrets, and Wei Taishang was also very kind to him.

Wei Wuya is the pillar of Lei Yuan Sect. If anything happens to him, the sect will be finished.

But he also knew that the island master had a good relationship with his ancestor.

And since Qin Ming asked, Wu Wangfeng answered honestly without holding back and told him everything he knew.

"Well, here is a Liyun Pill, which can reconstruct and repair the injured meridians. Please pass it to Brother Wei on my behalf." Qin Ming pondered for a moment, took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it to Wu Wangfeng.

"Liyun Pill?"

Wu Wangfeng's body trembled. With his knowledge, this kind of elixir was unheard of.
However, what the island owner can come up with must not be ordinary elixirs.

He didn't dare to refuse without authorization, so he took the pill carefully.

"On behalf of Wei Taishang, I would like to thank the island master!"

"Well, you go down."

After sending everyone away, Qin Ming stood on the attic of the main peak and looked at the peach forest and bamboo forest on the island, as well as the lush green tea garden.

He took out a pot of magic flame wine and drank it alone.

……

Fengqi Island, the headquarters of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance.

An attendant walked quickly into the meeting hall, presented the jade slip to the person on the throne, and bowed to report:

"Alliance leader! We have received accurate news that Master Qin, the owner of Wangyue Island, has returned to the island."

The current leader of the Sanmeng Alliance is Ren Tianqi, who took over under Qin Ming's witness before Qin Ming left Southern Wilderness.

When Ren Tianqi took over the position of alliance leader, he was still quite young. Now he has grown into a middle-aged man. He is calm and steady, and has the bearing of a senior official.

The immortal cultivation world of Lingqi Islands has undergone several reforms since he took over as the leader, and it has become more prosperous than before.

Of course, the more important reason is that the archipelago gave birth to the legendary monk Wangyue Zhenren, who attracted many monks to come here to take root and develop.

After receiving the news, Ren Tianqi immediately stood up from his seat, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he waved his hand and said:

"Quick! Send me a visiting card to Moon Watching Island, and then prepare a generous gift. I will personally visit Senior Qin."

"As ordered!"

Such scenes are constantly played out in the four countries of the Southern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.

Many powerful forces that are in a position of influence are also making intensive preparations and sending people to pay a visit to Wangyue Island.

In the following months, Wangyue Island, which had been silent for decades, became bustling again.
However, Qin Ming politely declined all these visits.

He asked Wu Jiang to spread the word that he was going to practice in seclusion for a period of time and then closed the door to visitors.

Because next, Qin Ming has more important things to do.

That is to refine the Ningying Pill and the Bingxin Yupo Pill to overcome the inner demon tribulation.
