Within the spirit field of the Black Obsidian Peak.

After a series of manipulations by Qin Ming Demon Infant, the last few Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rices were finally revived.

Then.

With a flicker of thought, he exhausted the few remaining ripening entries in his Sea of Consciousness, further ripening the newly sprouted demon grain spirit rice.

In an instant.

A strong aura of time engulfed the spirit plants.

The dark green buds gently unfolded and stretched taller, poking their heads out from the dark soil.

Meanwhile, in Qin Ming’s vision, three radiant golden entries refreshed:

[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Qi Blood x5 (Ripening Degree 2%)

[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Divinity Transformation Soul Power x5 (Ripening Degree 3%)

[Name]: Demon Grain Spirit Rice [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Ripening Degree 2%)

"Strengthening entries for the body and divine soul appeared, just what I wanted."

Qin Ming, observing the scene before him, revealed a satisfied expression.

He had previously felt that the growth of these demon grain spirit rices depended on a unique environment.

Thus, he retrieved a large amount of green toxic mist and swamps from Four Winds Valley, which turned out to be exactly right.

Of course, this was mainly closely related to the resurrection effect of the entries.

Qin Ming achieved his goal without revealing his identity, feeling extremely satisfied.

Although there were some minor episodes in the process of acquiring the demon grain spirit rice, the outcome was positive.

In this way, even if he cultivates demon grain spirit rice in Qianji City in the future, no one can criticize him.

Moreover, he didn’t cause any conflict with the Netherworld Sect.

"That old fox Baili Hui really has some skill, and it’s quite impressive that he managed to get such hidden intelligence information."

Qin Ming immediately expressed great appreciation for the unfortunate broker cultivator.

Once the Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rice matures, he can continue to expand cultivation, and combined with the refreshed entries, he might directly reach the late-stage Divinity Transformation...

Even leave the main body behind.

Qin Ming also discovered something peculiar, that these Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rices, like the Brahma Demon Sacred Tree planted by the main body in the Little Spirit Realm, require absorbing a large amount of magic Qi corpse nutrients.

Therefore, he told Lan Bing Fairy to collect them.

These matters now pose no difficulty for him.

Days gradually passed.

Several years slipped by.

Following the incident in Four Winds Valley, Qianji City returned to its usual calm.

After all, occurrences of a Tier Five Demon Venerable, have happened countless times over thousands of years.

On this day.

Qin Ming was in the spirit field tending to the demon grain spirit rice.

Suddenly, the array restriction outside Black Obsidian Peak fluctuated.

Then a sound transmission talisman accurately landed in his hands.

After browsing with his divine thought, Qin Ming realized it was the old fox Baili Hui coming to him.

The moment he stopped his work, he asked Lan Bing Fairy to bring Baili Hui in.

Over these years, Baili Hui has been running errands for him, handling all sorts of affairs without Qin Ming needing to appear himself, efficiently solving problems.

Being a cultivator who once had Divinity Transformation cultivation, Baili Hui was adept at handling matters, which Qin Ming valued, saving him a lot of trouble.

Some matters Qin Ming found inconvenient to appear for, he’d delegate to Baili Hui.

Upon entering, Baili Hui saw Qin Ming just finished tending to the spirit plants and instantly chuckled, "Elder Lii, you’re busy?"

He spoke, glancing at the demon grain spirit rice at the entrance of Qin Ming’s cave mansion, filled with envy.

However, even though Baili Hui knew about this, he dared not speak of it outside.

"Hmm, just finished watering the spirit plants. Why have you come by today?" Qin Ming said calmly.

After trading with Qin Ming over these years, Baili Hui also earned considerable spirit stones and cultivation resources, restoring his cultivation to the early-stage Golden Core.

This led him to be full of vigor, finally raising his head in Qianji City’s slum area.

He promptly adjusted his melon skin hat, swiftly came over, and respectfully handed a jade scroll:

"Reporting to Elder Lii, regarding another matter you asked me to investigate, there is now a lead, hence my visit to report to you, hehe."

"Oh? What matter?" Qin Ming took the jade scroll from him.

"It’s about the intelligence of that Inspector Huang Chao from the Spirit Realm’s Celestial Star City. It’s said that this person took a mission from the Human Realm thousands of years ago, was conscripted to follow others to the Human Realm, pursuing a fellow cultivator who defected. That cultivator unexpectedly acquired an Immortal Mansion Treasure left by a great power in the Integration Stage from a cave mansion!"

"Driven by greed, he attacked and killed several inspectors accompanying him, Huang Chao included, and no one survived. As for that person who embezzled the Immortal Mansion Treasure, he seemed to have escaped to some Lower Realm."

"They say that back then, this matter caused a huge stir within the entire Human Race’s jurisdiction in the Spirit Realm, prompting powerful people to send elders in the Void Refining Stage to arrest him, but ultimately they achieved no success."

"With time, it was eventually left unresolved."

These things Qin Ming learned while in the Void Profound Abyss of the Human Realm, so he asked, "Besides this intelligence, was there any other discovery?"

According to Baili Hui, what surprised him the most was that the Immortal Mansion Treasure was apparently passed on from a great power in the Integration Stage.

Just imagining this excited Qin Ming; for now, only he knows its exact whereabouts.

"Hehe! Of course, but the time since the occurrence was too distant, no specific detailed intelligence was found." Baili Hui flashed a toothy grin, saying, "However, by coincidence, back when the cultivator was evading the Human Race’s pursuit, he once hid in our Thousand Mechanism Poison Swamp for a while."

"Though no useful information was found in the rented cave mansion, Huang Chao inadvertently discovered a jade scroll left behind by the defected cultivator. Huang Chao didn’t immediately submit it but hid it in a cave mansion in the Spirit Realm, circulating through various hands before arriving here."

"The jade scroll contains some curious mystical symbols, seemingly depicting the defector deriving something related to the Immortal Mansion Treasure."

"The specific contents are within the jade scroll you just received."

Baili Hui reported truthfully.

Hearing this, Qin Ming was genuinely surprised, feeling he didn’t misjudge Baili Hui, whose efficiency in handling matters was exceptionally high.

He immediately invaded the jade scroll with his divine thought to browse.

After a while.

Qin Ming’s heart couldn’t help but ripple slightly.

A part of the runes in this jade scroll was incredibly familiar; they were astonishingly similar to the rune restriction marking the entrance of the Floating Island within the Void Profound Abyss.

"Could these peculiar symbol spirit patterns be the key runes to the entrance surrounding the Immortal Mansion Treasure?" Qin Ming thought brightly, suddenly receiving such a notion...

He quickly stored the jade scroll, patting Baili Hui’s shoulder, saying, "You’ve done well, continue to track info about Huang Chao diligently, rewards will be abundant upon news."

Then, he handed over a bulging spirit stone bag to the counterpart.

Baili Hui showed an enthusiastic expression as he received the spirit stones: "Thank you, Elder Lii, for your care, this junior will spare no effort!"

"But forgive my boldness in asking, Elder Lii seems so interested in Huang Chao, is it perhaps for that Immortal Mansion Treasure?"

"If that’s the case, I’d advise abandoning it, considering how much time has passed, tracing Huang Chao’s whereabouts is nearly impossible."

"Even if traced, even Immortal City Elders in the Void Refining Stage couldn’t return, the risks are indeed immense!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly, "I am aware, but asking you to track is for other matters, just continue investigating."

Baili Hui felt a chill in his heart, immediately complying: "Understood."
