Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 366 - 343: Vermilion Bird Banner

At this moment.

Hua Tianxiong almost dropped his jaw in shock upon seeing another ’himself’ walk in.

"You... What is this..."

Qin Ming immediately cast the True Demon Illusion, transformed back into the appearance of Shopkeeper Lu.

"Ah? Greetings, Master!"

Trembling, Hua Tianxiong respectfully bowed and then took out the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower and the Divine Wood Pill Formula, handing them over to Qin Ming with utmost respect.

"Here is the item you asked for."

Qin Ming received the two items with a calm expression and nodded satisfactorily, "You’ve done well. You may leave now."

"But what about the Demonic Cultivators outside..." Hua Tianxiong hesitated.

After all, it had been less than half an incense stick’s time, and he had personally seen the two Demonic Cultivators with at least mid-stage Golden Core cultivation...

"They’ve been taken care of," Qin Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Hua Tianxiong was immediately shocked. Although he knew his master was mighty, he had some difficulty believing it.

Just then.

The figure of the Heaven-Devouring Rat also appeared, holding a Vermilion Bird Command Banner in its hand, eagerly swinging it around.

Seeing this, Hua Tianxiong’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

"That’s... Isn’t that Yana the Demon’s notorious treasure, the ’Vermilion Bird Banner’?"

Now, Hua Tianxiong was completely convinced.

He was also knowledgeable, knowing that Yana the Demon made a mighty name for himself with this Top-Tier Artifact in Great Jin.

Unexpectedly, he fell here today.

"Vermilion Bird Banner?"

"What? You recognize this treasure, kid? Tell me about it properly," the Heaven-Devouring Rat eagerly asked, sounding ancient.

Hua Tianxiong’s chubby body trembled, plastering a smile across his face:

"Haha, I only know a little bit."

"It’s said that the Vermilion Bird Banner is one of the Five Elements Banners, and over a hundred years ago, Yana the Demon acquired this treasure from a Secret Realm by chance."

"Legend has it that the Five Elements Banners come as a set of Top-Tier Artifacts. If all the command flags are gathered, they’re said to have incredible power, able to destroy the world and move mountains and fill seas."

After hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes shone brightly, holding the Vermilion Bird Banner more fondly than ever.

It turned to Qin Ming with expectant eyes and asked, "Master, can I use this Vermilion Bird Banner?"

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and saw that the Heaven-Devouring Rat was extraordinarily fond of the item, so he nodded, "Alright, you can use it."

"Thank you, Master, for your generosity! Ehhehe!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was overjoyed and immediately swallowed the Vermilion Bird Banner, running off to refine the magic treasure.

"Um... Master, I shall take my leave now." Hua Tianxiong said, "I will be at your service whenever you need."

"Mm, if I need you to handle anything, I’ll contact you."

...

Soon, the space outside distorted, stirring up a ripple.

Hua Tianxiong’s figure returned to the outside world, wiping the sweat from his forehead, releasing his Divine Thought to observe his surroundings.

Indeed, the enemy was nowhere to be seen...

Suddenly.

A golden Escape Light flew toward him; once the radiance dissipated, the figure of that Golden Core Tributor from the Thousand Mechanism Trading Company appeared.

Seeing Hua Tianxiong safe and sound, the Tributor let out a long sigh and quickly stepped forward to ask, "President Hua, are you alright?"

"Cough! I’m fine now."

"Just some mere Demonic Cultivators; I used a little trick to send them packing."

"Let’s go, Tributor Xuu, and head back to the association."

The voice of Hua Tianxiong, displaying ease and calmness, came from within the Golden Imperial Carriage.

Tributor Xuu responded with a skeptical look, but having scanned the surroundings thoroughly, couldn’t find anything amiss.

Earlier, Tributor Xuu was trapped within the Demonic Array, unable to free himself despite trying all means.

Yet, suddenly, the array seemed to lose control and vanished...

Tributor Xuu, concerned for Hua Tianxiong’s safety, hurriedly rushed over.

Along the way, he exterminated the Demon Cultivators he encountered.

But upon arriving in haste, he found Hua Tianxiong waiting peacefully, as if nothing had happened.

Tributor Xuu was Elder Qian from Lihuo Palace, tasked with monitoring Hua Tianxiong’s every move.

Hua Tianxiong absolutely could not have any mishaps.

Otherwise, Elder Qian would have a hard time explaining.

...

Inside the Little Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming took out the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower, a look of joy on his face, "Nascent Soul Spiritual Object! The Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower, I didn’t expect to acquire it so quickly."

"However, it still needs to be cultivated and grown, ripened to over a thousand years."

"As for the pill formula of the ’Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill,’ surely Su Yuqing would have it?"

"Since I’m already in Great Jin, it’s about time to visit Brother Su. It’s been decades since we last met, after all..."

Su Yuqing, a person who was both teacher and friend, was someone Qin Ming still cherished.

He put away the jade box containing the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower and took out the Ancient Pill Formula, using his Divine Thought to inspect it.

"The Divine Wood Pill, as a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Pill, has significant effects on boosting mid to late-stage Golden Core cultivation and mana..."

"Main ingredients: Tier Three Earth Soul Glaze Flower, Phoenix Blood Fruit, Demon Origin Earth Root..."

Qin Ming glanced through it briefly, noting that the main ingredients for refining the Divine Wood Pill totaled five or six types, some of which were ancient spirit grasses already extinct in the Cultivation Realm.

"Though these spiritual materials are hard to find, as long as I acquire spirit seeds, I can replant them. This Divine Wood Pill might not be impossible to refine..."

"Maybe there’s some alternative item, too. I should ask Brother Su when I meet him."

Qin Ming proceeded to inspect the storage pouches of Tian the Centipede from Yin Demon Sect and Yana the Demon.

To his dismay, the Black Flame Evil Feather Fan magic treasure was snapped up by Tian the Centipede.

Now, it had come full circle, back into his possession.

Their pouches contained tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, leading Qin Ming to earn a small fortune.

As for those Demonic Treasures and Demon Techniques, Qin Ming wasn’t interested.

The only item that caught his eye, the Vermilion Bird Banner, had already been claimed by the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming headed toward where the Heaven-Devouring Rat was.

It was impressive to see that, in just half a day, it had completely refined the Top-Tier Artifact.

Currently, it was using the Vermilion Bird Banner to display flame divine techniques on the clearing.

With a wave of the command flag in its hand.

Countless Celestial Fires descended, transforming into three orange-red Vermilion Birds flying across the sky, striking an awe-inspiring sight.

"Be careful with the flames; don’t burn down the Little Spirit Realm for me!"

Qin Ming watched from the side, reminding it aloud.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat raised its hand and gestured, promptly gathering all the Vermilion Bird flames back into the treasure.

It said gleefully, "Master, with this treasure, my power has grown immensely!"

"That Demonic old man only grasped a small part, never unleashing its true power."

"The restrictions within the treasure have been completely unraveled by me."

"I’ve also acquired a method to refine the other four command flags, namely the Cyan Dragon Banner, White Tiger Banner, Black Tortoise Banner, and Central Yellow Banner."

"If I could collect all the Five Elements Banners, I’d be invincible!"

Qin Ming: "..."
