Longevity: Start by refreshing your entries through farming.

Chapter 86: Spiritual Islands
The map in Qin Ming's hand was purchased from Gu Qingzhao.

It cost him a total of one hundred spirit stones.

After all, such a comprehensive map is still rare on the market.

Not only does it depict the geographical features, but it also records the cultural relics, climate environment, and distribution of spiritual veins clearly.

This was the result of Jingxue Pavilion's continuous updating and improvement over the years.

This map is very large, not only covering the territory of Wei State, but also the surrounding Jin State, Wu State, and Liang State.

The four countries were in a four-way balance of power, with Wei located at the southernmost position.

Qin Ming looked carefully, his eyes fell on a tiny mark in the Yunze Wilderness in the southernmost part of Wei State - Qingyang Market.

Then look all the way north.

The border between the four countries is divided by a huge "X"-shaped mountain range.

This is the "Beast Roaring Mountains". It is rumored that there are dangers everywhere, all kinds of monsters appear one after another, and there are even third-level monsters.

At every pass through the mountain range, there are fortresses and cultivation markets along the way.

These scattered markets are connected together like signposts, and eventually point to a place where four countries meet. There, the largest city is marked, and four big red characters "Canghai Xiancheng" are clearly depicted.

This is the holy land for independent cultivators.

In the four countries of Wei, Jin, Liang and Wu, there are Golden Core ancestors who suppress everything, and they are the ceiling of the highest combat power.

The rest of the forces had to submit.

Even the source of Foundation Establishment Pills is monopolized by them. The big sects eat the meat, while many independent cultivators have difficulty even drinking the soup and can only survive in the cracks.

Because this place is a no-man's land and is backed by the Beast-Screaming Mountains with rich resources, it quickly became a center for independent cultivators to trade.

In addition, later on, True Man Canghai successfully formed a golden elixir here as a casual cultivator and established a city for cultivating immortals.

It attracted various forces to settle in, including many second-level alchemy masters. As long as there are raw materials, they have the ability to refine foundation-building pills.

That being said.

Canghai Immortal City is also the only place where many independent cultivators can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, so it is regarded as a holy place for independent cultivators.

According to Gu Qingzhao, the largest branch of Jingxue Pavilion was located in Canghai Fairy City, and this was also her destination.

Having learned his lesson this time, he would certainly not go to such a place where all kinds of people gathered together again.

Moreover, there are Jindan Zhenren in the fairy city. Under the sweep of their powerful divine thoughts, some secrets may be exposed.

Therefore, it is definitely not the best choice for farming to gain entries or practicing the ancient tree longevity technique.

His current principle of cultivating immortals is to avoid fighting and steadily develop farming and management, and transform it into his own strength.

This is a place where forces are intertwined and conflicts are frequent.

Don't get too involved.

Over the years, Qin Ming has continuously collected a lot of information from Gu Qingzhao, and has also done in-depth research on the territory of the Wei State, and he already has a plan in mind.

His gaze continued to move northward and finally landed on a place called "Lingqi Islands".

This is a huge cluster of islands with numerous rivers and lakes, interweaving into a dense water network.

These water networks connect at the borders of the four countries.

This Lingqi Archipelago is under the jurisdiction of the Zhao family, a family of immortal cultivators.

The Zhao family is one of the three immortal cultivation families among the seven major forces of the Wei State that have a real person in the false elixir stage.

The magical rice and fish produced here are well-known far and wide.

It is a delicacy from the immortal palace that often appears in many restaurants.

However, the Lingqi Islands are only home to some first-level spiritual veins, and the second-level spiritual veins are relatively rare and scattered, so some big forces do not look down on this place.

He was not interested in competing for any resources here. This was just right for him to grow steadily and farm.

Qin Ming planned to wait until he broke through to the perfection of the Qi Refining Stage before going to Canghai Immortal City to plan the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The water of the Lingqi Islands flows northward all the time and is shrouded in a strange fog all year round. Even the divine consciousness of a Jindan stage cannot see through it, and once you enter it, there is no return.

Legend has it that if you go through the strange fog and go further north, you will reach the 'Great Jin Dynasty' that Su Yuqing mentioned before leaving. It is a place for cultivating immortals with even richer resources.

And there exists Yuanying Zhenjun, who can only be seen in books, and he unified the four kingdoms.

……

Now Qin Ming's spiritual consciousness and qi and blood tests have all met the requirements.

There is only one last level left, and that is the mana level.

With his four-element pseudo-qualification, without fully cultivating the 'Supreme Wood Dharma Body' and the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even though he had obtained the foundation-building spiritual item 'Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid' from Fellow Daoist Feng, the probability of failure in foundation-building was estimated to be still very high.

This time when going to Lingqi Islands, we naturally have to rent a spiritual field above the second-level vein.

For him, a second-level spiritual plant master, it is enough.

He then planted his own spiritual plants and practiced the Ancient Tree Longevity Technique. Naturally, the higher the grade of the spiritual vein, the better.

Since he couldn't find a better place at the moment, he could reluctantly accept the second-level spiritual vein.

After all, his life-saving spiritual plant, the black vine, does not require a high spiritual vein growth environment, as long as there are blood beads.
Of course, if there is a chance in the future, I will still have to replace it with a higher-quality spiritual vein.

It’s also the icing on the cake.

There is.

Qin Ming developed in the Lingqi Islands, which was not very far from the Canghai Immortal City.

Will still keep in close contact with Gu Qingzhao.

To a certain extent, she is now the key link for Qin Ming to obtain information and intelligence from the upper echelons of the immortal cultivation world.

It is also his important network of contacts.

After considering his future destination, Qin Ming took out a Soul-Enriching Pill and began to meditate and practice.

The next day.

Qin Ming found Gu Qingzhao and told him where he was going.

"Spiritual Islands?"

Gu Qingzhao showed a hint of surprise, but then he said, "It's actually not bad for Fellow Daoist Qin to develop in Lingqi Islands. It's not far from us, and we can look after each other."

"Moreover, the spiritual soil here is fertile, and it is also suitable for Fellow Daoist Qin to grow spiritual plants."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qin, do you know why this place is called Lingqi Islands?" Gu Qingzhao smiled and asked in a testing manner.

Qin Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know the reason for the moment."

"It is rumored that when this island was first formed, a bird brought some spiritual rice seeds from somewhere and accidentally landed on the island, which led to the growth of an unknown second-grade medium-quality spiritual rice that can greatly enhance the mana cultivation of the foundation-building period. It is extremely rare and was named Lingqi Rice."

"This magical rice was once very popular, but unfortunately no one was able to cultivate it later, and it gradually became extinct here. Now it is almost impossible to see it anymore." Gu Qingzhao explained with regret.

Qin Ming suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I didn't expect there is such an allusion."

"By the way, our pavilion's magic ship will set off in two days. Does Fellow Daoist Qin need to prepare anything else?" Gu Qingzhao asked.

Qin Ming shook his head. "I'm ready here and can leave at any time."

"The journey to Canghai Immortal City will take quite a long time. Our pavilion will hold an auction on the ship, and Fellow Daoist Qin can come and participate." Gu Qingzhao said slowly.

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Qin needs other items to sell, you can also let me bid on your behalf."
