Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 391 - 367: The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s New Task

Chapter 391: Chapter 367: The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s New Task

After several days of brewing, the enticing fragrance of spirit wine permeated throughout the entire Little Spirit Realm.

This continuously tantalized the taste buds, attracting all three of Qin Ming’s spirit pets to gather around.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat drooled, gazing eagerly at the wine jar on the ground, swallowed its saliva, and asked:

"So fragrant! Master, what are you brewing?"

With a mysterious smile, Qin Ming replied, "This is the legendary Demon Flame Wine. It’s said to taste better than the Jade Dew in the Immortal Palace, something even an immortal wouldn’t trade away, hehe!"

"Ah?!"

"Is that true? Is there really such an immortal brew in this world?"

"Hehe! Master, could you let me have a small sip first?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was already salivating at Qin Ming’s words and couldn’t hold back its eagerness. It rubbed its small hands and asked.

Qin Ming shot it a look and said, "What are you thinking? This spirit wine has just been brewed. Such a fine brew requires a ten-year aging for the spiritual materials to fully ferment and blend before it can be tasted or consumed."

"It would be a waste to drink it now."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat finally understood, "Hehe, I see... That’s quite a shame, oh! We really have to wait ten years."

"Patience is a virtue. You really should learn to cultivate your temperament."

"How about this, I have a task for you to handle."

Qin Ming thought for a moment and spoke to the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat felt a bit bitter upon hearing there was more work...

Previously, every time Qin Ming said this, it either had to farm or patrol the mountains.

It was really tough for a mighty Tier Three Mid-Stage Demon King like it to handle.

"Master, what task do you have for me this time?"

"It’s like this. Some time ago, the two Golden Core Elders from the Divine Dao Sect wanted to acquire our spirit field here, didn’t they?"

"I suspect Divine Dao Mountain is most likely after the spiritual ore in the area."

"Even though I don’t expect high-tier spiritual ore underneath this spirit field, just in case, it’s best to investigate thoroughly."

"Now that the crops in the spirit field have been harvested, you don’t need to patrol the mountains for now."

"As a member of the Mouse Race, aren’t you quite good at digging? Help me by digging and checking the situation beneath this Spirit Vein and report any findings to me promptly."

"But remember, this two hundred mu of spirit field is of great use to me, so try not to damage the Spirit Vein underground."

Hearing that it was a digging task, investigating the underground situation, the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s expression relaxed significantly.

Immediately, it patted its chest and assured, "A trivial matter, don’t worry, Master, I’m good at this."

With that, the Heaven-Devouring Rat picked up a steel fork and went off to handle the task.

Qin Ming then stored the dozen or so jars of freshly brewed Demon Flame Wine beneath the Lifebound Spirit Plant Yin Yang Profound Vine.

...

After completing these tasks, he started pondering what spirit plants to sow in the spirit field next year.

After all, the resources in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm are significantly richer than those in the Southern Wilderness, making the Spirit Seeds of High-Tier Spirit Plants relatively easier to collect.

The Spirit Nesting Rice planted in Li Lan’s spirit field had already been taken by Old Jia to sell at the Spirit Ruins Market, earning a substantial profit.

Since Spirit Nesting Rice, being Tier Two Spirit Rice, is a specialty of the Spirit Nest Islands and not available in Great Jin,

Initially, when Mirror Snow Pavilion began selling the spirit rice, many cultivators were skeptical and observed from the sidelines.

Since it was their first time purchasing, they weren’t sure if this foreign spirit rice had the effectiveness that Mirror Snow Pavilion advertised.

But later, when more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators bought small amounts of it to try and found it hard to resist,

Spirit Nesting Rice was quickly snapped up, and Mirror Snow Pavilion’s reputation was once again solidified.

Not only that, but even Li Lan, the Spirit Plant Master, started garnering attention from various forces.

Many factions even secretly offered high prices to recruit him, but Li Lan politely declined them all.

Meanwhile,

After a period of cultivation, along with guidance from Qin Ming’s planting experience,

Li Lan successfully cultivated the seedlings of Tier Three Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, which would soon be planted extensively.

In this way, the two hundred mu of spirit field under the Tier Four branch veins would be truly utilized to its full potential.

That day,

Li Lan finished his work in the spirit field, greeted Qin Ming, and then packed up to go home to the Spirit Ruins Market.

Now esteemed as a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Plant Grandmaster, naturally, Mirror Snow Pavilion wouldn’t treat him unfairly.

They provided him with a villa in the best area in terms of location and Spirit Vein environment in the Spirit Ruins Market, and he received a substantial monthly stipend.

Of course, for the next thirty years, all the Tier Three Spirit Rice he planted was to go to ’Shopkeeper Lu’.

But fortunately, Shopkeeper Lu’s terms were quite lenient, allowing him to plant some of his own Tier Three Spirit Plants without affecting the growth of the spirit rice, continuously learning and advancing.

Li Lan was in an extremely good mood, knowing that all this was provided by Shopkeeper Lu, and thus he declined the offers from various major forces politely.

Moreover, he had made promises to Shopkeeper Lu.

Now, as a Tier Three Spirit Plant Grandmaster, no matter where he went in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, he was a highly sought-after guest of various forces.

This fundamentally changed his identity and status from a humble Spirit Plant Master who had risen from the bottom.

He received a respect he had never experienced before.

In the butcher shop, Li Lan spent a considerable amount of Spirit Stones to purchase a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Deer Demon Beast hind leg, planning to celebrate the harvest with his wife and children at home.

This item was indeed invaluable and quite beneficial for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.

With a smile on his face, holding the demon beast meat and beverages, he returned home only to find a beautiful woman and two half-grown children eagerly welcoming him.

"Look at you, earning Spirit Stones but not saving any, buying such expensive spirit meat as soon as you arrive," Li Lan’s wife said teasingly as she took the Spirit Deer Demon Beast meat.

Li Lan continued to smile and said, "Aren’t we living well now? It’s not every day; today we ought to celebrate. Go ahead and cook the spirit meat."

"They say this Spirit Deer Demon Beast meat has significant benefits for that aspect."

"I can plow the field during the day and continue to plow at night! I’ll give you a good reward, hehe!"

"What are you saying? The children are here!" The beautiful woman blushed at his words, pinched him hard on the waist, and then went to the kitchen with the children to cook.

Li Lan was about to go inside to change clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"May I ask if Grandmaster Li is home?"

Li Lan walked over to open the courtyard gate and saw a Golden Core Stage elderly man in a blue robe before him. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Junior Li Lan greets Elder Zou!"

The visitor was indeed Zou Pinghai, the Elder from the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, who once had a brief encounter with Qin Ming at the Wind-Riding Tower.

"Haha! No need for formalities, Grandmaster Li. You’re young and truly talented!"

"Isn’t working at Mirror Snow Pavilion limiting your talent and wasting your gifts as a Spirit Plant Master?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Lan was puzzled by these words but had a guess about the old man’s intention.
