Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 349 - 328: Departure

Guu Qingzhao’s family is large and prosperous, naturally, she cannot be as carefree as Qin Ming, saying leave just when he wants to go.

After she achieved the Golden Core Stage, many matters in the Mirror Snow Pavilion required her scrutiny, and even the position of the helmsman was to fall upon her.

Otherwise, she would very much like to travel to the Great Jin as Qin Ming does.

Guu Qingzhao’s thoughts drifted afar, she hesitated for a long time, finally summoning up the courage to ask Qin Ming:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you’ve cultivated for so long, now you have reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core, whether in terms of cultivation or prestige, it’s not what it used to be..."

"Could it be... you don’t plan on seeking a Dao companion?"

After speaking, her gaze fell upon Qin Ming, her expression seemed very open, as if merely asking a friend about a casual matter.

But in reality, she was quite nervous inside...

The moment Guu Qingzhao finished speaking.

In an instant, Qin Ming was briefly lost in thought.

He did not expect Guu Qingzhao to ask such a direct question.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, but still replied:

"The Cultivation Realm is filled with unpredictability, though the Golden Core Stage is said to be the threshold of high-tier cultivators, it might have some say in this Southern Wilderness, but looking at the surrounding Cultivation Realm, it can only barely ensure self-preservation."

"Only upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm can one stand firm without worry."

"Therefore, Qin has not considered much about matters of love and romance..."

"I just want to find opportunities and break through to the late-stage Golden Core as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Guu Qingzhao felt somewhat downhearted, and she understood his meaning.

Given Qin Ming’s character, apart from farming and arduous cultivation, few things would disturb him.

"Hehe! Then I wish Fellow Daoist Qin a smooth journey, may the immortal path be unobstructed."

"Don’t worry, once these affairs are concluded, I will reopen the Celestial River Market at the Spirit Nest Islands, and I will look after your Wangyue Island until you return."

"I toast to you."

Guu Qingzhao raised her cup to clink with Qin Ming’s.

"Then I thank Fellow Daoist Guu."

Afterward, Qin Ming also inquired from Guu Qingzhao about ways to reach the Great Jin, seeing if she had any connections.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, if you want to head to the Great Jin, besides using the long-distance transmission array, you can also take a Dharma Ship of the Qilian Trading Company."

"Oh? Qilian Commerce Association?" Qin Ming said thoughtfully.

He had some impression of this commerce association.

"Indeed, the Qilian Trading Company is under the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, conducting trades everywhere."

"However, in the Southern Wilderness, there are relatively few crossings of the Qilian Trading Company’s Dharma Ships to the Great Jin."

"I previously helped send a letter to Fellow Daoist Su through them."

"Next month, they should have a merchant ship going to the Great Jin. Our pavilion has close ties with the Qilian Trading Company, I can introduce you to them, Fellow Daoist Qin."

"If Fellow Daoist Qin plans to use the long-distance transmission array from the Liang Country Capital’s Lihuo Palace, the cost is quite high."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, "Then I thank Fellow Daoist Guu."

...

A few days later.

Qin Ming returned to Wangyue Island, instructed Wu Jiang and others, and then flew to a place called Juxian City in Liang Country with the address Guu Qingzhao gave him.

On the way.

Qin Ming rode the Silver-winged Frost Bee, looking at the scenery rapidly retreating behind, and felt deeply moved.

He didn’t expect that one day he would also leave the Southern Wilderness, this homeland.

"Master, are we really going to the legendary Great Jin Immortal Dynasty this time?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat shrunk its size, landed on Qin Ming’s shoulder, and said with excitement, feeling very enthusiastic.

"That’s right." Qin Ming said calmly.

"Sigh, unexpected, truly unexpected..."

"I never thought that I, the Heaven-Devouring Rat, would also have such a day, finally able to leave this realm and witness the broader outer world."

"I reckon if those guys from the Beast Roar Mountain Range knew, they would be envious to death."

"I heard there are many demon cultivators in the Great Jin as well, even female demon saints at Tier Four Transformation exist, if I could behold their beauty, wouldn’t it be delightful, eh hehehe..."

Qin Ming wordlessly shook his head, while the Heaven-Devouring Rat indulged in its fantasies, giggling away.

Seeing Qin Ming not paying attention to it, it returned to the Little Spirit Realm, lavishly describing the future to the Profound Water Crocodile.

Half a month later, Qin Ming riding the Silver-winged Frost Bee arrived at Juxian City.

However, his journey to the Great Jin was known only to a few people like Guu Qingzhao and Nalan Xi.

This time, Qin Ming planned to proceed low-key, after all, there existed Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and the Tier Four Transforming Demon Saint mentioned by the Heaven-Devouring Rat, he had to be cautious and prudent.

He had already attracted the attention of the Lihuo Palace in the Southern Wilderness. Should he directly use the long-distance transmission array, he might attract attention from those with intentions.

Especially the enemies of the Lihuo Palace, they probably wouldn’t want to see an Alchemy Grandmaster recruited under their wing.

Thus, he didn’t even plan on using the transmission array of the Lihuo Palace, just to avoid being widely known.

He intended to see if he could find an opportunity to impersonate someone else and sneak in.

After all, nowadays with Qin Ming’s mid-stage Golden Core cultivation and employing the True Demon Illusion, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t see through him.

Upon arriving near Juxian City.

Qin Ming employed an illusion to transform into a refined middle-aged cultivator, with a mana aura controlled to the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

This was the identity Guu Qingzhao prepared for Qin Ming, it was the "Shopkeeper Lu" going to the Great Jin to deliver goods from the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Qin Ming came to a very magnificent building in the city, and stepped inside.

...

Ten days later.

A pitch-black Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship, with a banner of the Qilian Commerce Association hanging on the mast, slowly sailed away from Juxian City.

Inside the cabin, ’Shopkeeper Lu’ that Qin Ming transformed into, appeared radiant, toasting with three cultivators facing him.

These three had notable backgrounds, as cultivators under the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance.

It took Qin Ming some effort to make their acquaintance.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I must say the Jade Qilin Wine you brought is truly comparable to Jadescent Nectar."

"Could you sell some to me?" A graceful and charming woman asked Qin Ming with a smile.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Liuu Ye, this Jade Qilin Wine is all that remains in our pavilion."

"There’s not much left in stock."

Qin Ming replied with a smile.

"Ah! That’s really unfortunate, we both were planning to purchase from Shopkeeper Lu."

Opposite Qin Ming sat a silver-haired old man and a tall, thin cultivator with a sallow face, both sighing in regret.

The silver-haired old man was named Han Yuan, and the tall yellow-faced cultivator was called Gao Feng.

These three were all at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, and even at such a level, their status in the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance wasn’t very high, being accompanying cultivators on the ship.

During this time, Qin Ming had learned a lot of information from them.

It was worth having supplied them with so much Jade Qilin Wine.

After some flight, Qin Ming could feel the Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship of the Qilian Commerce Association surprisingly descending to a sea surface.

Seeing ’Shopkeeper Lu’s response.

The silver-haired old man, Han Yuan, smilingly said, "It’s Shopkeeper Lu’s first time going to the Great Jin, isn’t it?"

"The Southern Wilderness is in a remote location, isolated by ominous fog to the north, and borders the Beast Roar Mountain Range to the west, even with Tier Four Transformation Demon Beasts present deep within, extremely dangerous."

"Only by sailing through the Black Sea to the east can one reach Qilin Island."

"Identification is verified on the island, and through the island’s transmission array, one can quickly reach the Great Jin."

"Once at Qilin Island, the journey is only one-third left, allowing to save a significant amount of Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing the other’s account, Qin Ming was astonished, not expecting the journey from the Southern Wilderness to the Great Jin to be so convoluted.
