Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 375 - 352: A Transaction

Qin Ming walked over to the Silver Fox and asked lightly, "Is it you who stole my spirit medicine?"

The Silver Fox Demon Beast trembled in fear, curling up its body.

Seeing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation to Qin Ming.

"Um... hehe, Master, let me explain, the situation is like this..."

A moment later.

Qin Ming finished listening to the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s account, showing an unusually serious expression.

"There’s turmoil again in the Beast Roar Mountain Range..."

"The Wind-splitting Eagle Clan of the Four Great Royal Races seems to have birthed a Tier Four Transformation Great Demon ’Great Black Heaven Demon Saint’ again, ambitious..."

"The Silver Moon Celestial Fox Clan Leader is seriously injured..."

After digesting this information, Qin Ming’s gaze returned to the Silver Fox, his eyes flickered with uncertainty, pondering something.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, seeing him like this, hesitantly pleaded for the Silver Fox, "Master, I think she has her own unspeakable difficulties, it’s understandable..."

"Maybe... maybe you could spare her life... hehe."

The Silver Fox was quite surprised to see the Heaven-Devouring Rat, who had previously harassed her, now pleading on her behalf, and she sent a grateful look its way.

"Hmph, did you two conspire behind my back before I arrived?"

"And now you want me to spare her life?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn’t help but find it amusing, so he deliberately frowned and asked the Heaven-Devouring Rat mockingly, "What? Do you want her to be your village wife?"

"If that’s the case, I could make it happen."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat quickly explained, "Hehehe! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I have no such intentions, it’s just that the Silver Moon Celestial Fox Clan has always had a good reputation, and in the past when many from the Demon Race started a Beast Tide, they were one of the few clans opposing involvement."

"This clan dislikes fighting and has a gentle disposition, much like the Master who loves peace. I think she just made an unintentional mistake."

"The crime isn’t deserving of death..."

Qin Ming pondered briefly, then looked at the Silver Fox on the ground and decided, "Alright then, you may be spared the death penalty, but not punishment."

"Offer two drops of your Essence Blood, and I’ll let you go."

The Silver Fox turned pale upon hearing this; she feared pain the most, let alone giving Essence Blood.

However, to save her life, she had no choice but to comply.

Yet suddenly, she thought of something.

After a fierce internal struggle, she gritted her teeth and pleaded pitifully to Qin Ming, "Esteemed senior, can you please help save my mother? She’s almost at her limit."

"I’m willing to agree to any condition and make a deal with you."

"I believe you’ll find it interesting."

Qin Ming, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but ask, "Oh? Then tell me, what kind of deal?"

"I... I know the whereabouts of a Tier Four Spirit Fruit, it’s in the Beast Roar Mountain Range. As part of the deal, I can tell you its location."

"And if you can heal my mother, we can go together to retrieve the Spirit Fruit."

"A Tier Four Spirit Fruit?"

"Do you know what kind of Spirit Fruit it is?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat were both surprised with renewed interest, originally intending to let her go.

The Fox Demon’s face turned awkward as she hesitantly explained in a mosquito-like voice, "I only heard from my mother, I don’t know the specifics about the Spirit Fruit..."

"You know nothing and still want to trade?"

"That’s a legendary Tier Four Spirit Fruit; why don’t you just get it yourself if you know where it is?"

"Surely it’s not that easy to obtain?"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat couldn’t help but ask.

The Silver Fox nodded gently without denying it.

Throughout history, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are often accompanied by powerful demon beasts for protection, or by natural obstacles that are fraught with danger, they are naturally hard to acquire.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Then how can you be sure that I can definitely heal your mother?"

"Be-because... Mother’s wounds can’t wait any longer, and I could tell you are quite skilled, not only can you grow Tier Three Spirit Plants, but you also have such a powerful Demon King under your command... so with a trying mindset, I approached you."

The Silver Fox finished, then sobbed softly.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, upon hearing itself being praised, unconsciously puffed out its chest, stepped forward, and proudly said, "I must say, you’ve read people quite accurately, even setting my strength aside, but talking about my master... he’s someone of the level of the Child of the Plane..."

"Healing is but a trivial matter..."

As Qin Ming heard it begin to spout nonsense, he flicked its head, "Alright, can you stop making stuff up?"

"Eh hehe! Yes, yes, yes, everything is up to the Master." The Heaven-Devouring Rat quickly replied.

Qin Ming then turned to the Silver Fox on the ground and said, "If the trade involves a Tier Four Spirit Fruit, it’s not impossible."

"But... I must first plant a Divine Soul Restriction on you, and after the trade is done and the Spirit Fruit is acquired, I’ll lift the Divine Contract. How about it?"

With this said.

The Silver Fox suddenly found herself in a dilemma, but considering her life was already in his hands and driven by urgency to save her mother, she nodded in agreement.

"I agree." The young lady consented.

"Senior, you better keep your word."

Qin Ming nodded, said calmly, "Of course, rest assured, my principles in handling matters revolve around reputation, I will definitely keep my word."

The Silver Fox, hearing his reassurances, felt a little relieved and thus relaxed her Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing this, Qin Ming formed a mysterious gray rune with his hand and pointed it at the Silver Fox on the ground, which penetrated into her Sea of Consciousness.

A feeling of dizziness spun within the Silver Fox’s mind, and she vaguely signed a Divine Contract with Qin Ming.

In this way, her life and death were entirely at Qin Ming’s whim.

Immediately, Qin Ming signalled the Heaven-Devouring Rat to untie and release the Silver Fox.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, having received the order, gently and cautiously removed the bonds as it softly said, "Ahem! Sorry about earlier, much impoliteness!"

"No... no problem." The Silver Fox softly licked her swollen wrists and ankles.

Then, she somewhat hastily said to Qin Ming, "Senior, let’s set off right away."

Qin Ming nodded, "Mm, lead the way ahead."

It seemed that the Clan Leader of the Fox Race was on the verge of life and death.

Otherwise, this Silver Fox wouldn’t have been so desperately searching for help, even sacrificing herself.

"Eh hehe! I’m coming too!" the Heaven-Devouring Rat called out from the side.

Afterward, Qin Ming left the cave and, under the guidance of the Silver Fox, flew toward the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

An entire hour passed.

The snow-white figure ahead moved at astonishing speed, transforming into a flickering silver streak, comparable to a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, thanks to her royal bloodline abilities.

Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat followed close behind.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat perched on Qin Ming’s shoulder, seeing the passage of time without reaching the destination, commented, "Isn’t this too far? This little fox wouldn’t be playing any tricks, would she?"

"No, having signed the Divine Contract, she wouldn’t dare have any ill thoughts." Qin Ming said lightly.

Gradually, a cliff appeared in Qin Ming’s sight.

Soon after, the Silver Fox cast a rune at a rock wall on the cliff, revealing an extremely hidden cave entrance.

Even Qin Ming’s powerful divine thoughts couldn’t detect it.

Following the Silver Fox inside, Qin Ming saw the entrance reseal immediately, restoring to its original state.

Subsequently.

As they delved deeper through the cave, Qin Ming discovered a massive cavernous space, with countless white stalactites hanging from the dome above.

When they reached the core, an eerie cold pool emitted a chilling aura.

Above the pool rested a gigantic white jade cold bed.

On the cold bed lay a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, her skin like creamy jade, smooth and delicate, revealing alluring curves beneath her robes, a pair of jade-like feet and a flawless white fox tail peeking from under the hem.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was dumbstruck, "Whoa! Is this the legendary Half-Transformed Great Demon’s Fox Race Saintess? She’s truly stunning!"
