Chapter 77 The Rainstorm is Coming

Qin Ming received the news, and couldn't help but frown.

Afterward, he fell into deep contemplation.

"Didn't expect it to be this soon."

…

Mid-June.

The sky of Cloud Wilderness Marsh, dark cloud layer began to gather, seemingly brewing a storm.

Green Sun Market, Gathering Pavilion.

Qin Ming sat by the windowsill, looking outside in contemplation.

"Hey! Have you heard?"

"All powers have searched everywhere, but they just can't find the last Dragon-Shaped Token."

"Heard from the Elders that it's the most crucial one."

"It's really strange, could it be that Token was secretly hidden by someone?"

"That's right, don't know which bastard, caused us to be stuck here and waste our lives."

"Then what to do?"

"Can't just keep dragging on like this!"

"No way, it's said that using forceful methods, can't break open that Ancient Ruins at all."

At the wine tables of Gathering Pavilion, various Cultivators were constantly discussing the current situation.

"Waiter, bill." Qin Ming sat for a while, intending to leave.

Shopkeeper Liao heard this and immediately walked over, a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Qin, not sit for a bit longer?"

"Mm, weather is about to change, there are still things to deal with in the Spirit Field." Qin Ming got up and prepared to take out Spirit Stones to pay.

Shopkeeper Liao hurriedly stopped him, "Fellow Daoist Qin is too polite, now you are a honored guest of our Pavilion, this little bit of wine is on me."

Having said that, Shopkeeper Liao warmly welcomed and sent Qin Ming out of the Shop.

…

Outside Green Yang Market Second Rank Spirit Field.

In the sky, suddenly a strong wind blew, accompanied by heavy rain, blowing the Spirit Crop askew.

Within the Spirit Field, a group of Spirit Plant Masters were in a flurry, trying their best to salvage the Spirit Plants.

"What's going on?"

"How did the Protective Array within the Spirit Field become ineffective?"

"If it goes on like this, this year's Spirit Plants will all be for naught!"

The Spirit Plant Masters anxiously began to shout.

At this moment.

Qin Ming had just arrived at the Spirit Field.

He also couldn't understand, the Spirit Field Protective Array that had never had problems all along.

How could it suddenly become ineffective? Suddenly! His vast Divine Sense sensed, someone was secretly spying nearby.

Behind a secluded Woods near the Spirit Field.

Two Spirit Feather Sect Foundation Establishment Elders, were expressionlessly watching everything happening in the Spirit Field.

One of them, casually raised his hand and set up a soundproof Restriction.

"Elder Gu, doing this, I'm afraid... seems a bit inappropriate, right?" Elder Zhuang Xiran frowned, looking at the Spirit Field, hesitated for a moment, and said to the person beside him.

Elder Gu's rigid face, without a trace of emotion, coldly replied, "Merely a Spirit Farmer, can't this old man handle him?"

"A body full of rebellious bones, always thinking of escaping the control of our Sect, how could it be that easy?"

"He doesn't think about submitting to our Sect, but instead chooses to cooperate with Mirror Snow Pavilion."

"Since he can't be used by me, then it's a dead end."

"Back then, when our Sect went to Cultivation Families to Conscription Cultivators, what was signed was a Corvée of having to serve a full sixty-year term, not a year less for him."

"If he dares to run, then we'll use that kid's family to make an example!"

Overseer Gu's temperament seemed to have changed greatly after Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage.

Back when he was still a Spirit Field Elder, he couldn't accept, the Lower Ranks Spirit Farmers he once arbitrarily exploited.

Unknowingly, he actually climbed to the same status as himself, sitting on equal footing with him.

But now it's different.

Overseer Gu Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage, his status in Spirit Feather Sect had another huge leap, and his mentality had changed again.

When he was still an Outer Sect Overseer before, he once looked for Qin Ming to buy Extreme Grade Beast Tooth Rice.

But the other party, relying on the backing of Mirror Snow Pavilion, flatly refused him, not giving him any face, he still held a grudge about this.

"The other Elders Within the Sect also have the same idea, no matter what method is used, first stop him from advancing to Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master."

"Keep him here, to plant land for our Sect for a lifetime."

…

Qin Ming retracted his Divine Sense.

That level of soundproof Restriction, under his powerful Divine Sense, was as good as nothing.

After learning the truth, his face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly. "Overseer Gu, this old bastard, turns out he's been holding a grudge against me all along."

Didn't expect the other party's schemes to be so deep, already started plotting against him.

He exploited him for so long and it's still not enough.

Actually still wants to chain him to Spirit Feather Sect, to plant land for them for a lifetime.

Qin Ming's eyes revealed a cold glint.

He already had a plan in mind.

He pinched out a strange Magic Art in his hand, pointing towards the sky above his Spirit Field.

The Spirit Field within a five mu area, was enveloped by a hazy Barrier.

In an instant, all the heavy rain and strong wind, as if fixed in the air, all couldn't pour into his Spirit Field.

"Luckily, some time ago, this [Wind-Fixing Technique] Entry refreshed in the Spirit Herb Field in the Courtyard."

"Otherwise, I would have really fallen into his trap."

…

In the distant Woods.

Elder Gu widened his eyes, "Hmm? How is it possible?"

"How does that kid also know such an obscure Spell?" Zhuang Xiran was also very surprised.

"Alright, don't lose big for small gains."

"His matter can be discussed later."

"Now the most important thing is, we must find that Dragon-Shaped Key before other Sects."

"Before Elder Yuwen Breakthrough to Core Formation Stage, we must not alert the enemy."

"We must try our best to maintain the current Situation."

"Absolutely must not have any mishaps."

Elder Zhuang Xiran said to him with a serious face.

"When we delay until our Sect gives birth to a Core Formation Grandmaster, everything will be different."

Elder Gu could distinguish between what's important and what's not, knew the stakes, nodded and agreed to the other party.

But his eyes flickered, seemingly thinking something.

Then the two no longer lingered, turned and left.

After a moment.

Within the Spirit Field.

The Protective Formation that had just become ineffective, soon slowly rose up, blocking all the storm outside.

Qin Ming raised his head, looking at the Formation above, in contemplation.

Elder Gu and Zhuang Xiran's last conversation, he also heard clearly.

"What is Spirit Feather Sect doing?"

"Fixed it again?"

"Fortunately, there wasn't a large-scale disaster, losses are not big."

…

Qin Ming returned to the Market.

Found Gu Qingzhao to buy a set of small Protective Array, separately set it up around the Spirit Field, just in case.

And secretly buried Spirit Seeds that had Thorn Technique cast on them, around the Spirit Field, if any blind bastard dares to target his Spirit Plants again, then don't blame him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, starting from next month, our Pavilion will evacuate Qingyang Market City, temporarily return to Cloud Dream Mountain."

"If the Situation of Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness, can't calm down for a while, our Pavilion is very likely to completely withdraw from this place."

"Taking this opportunity, also giving Fellow Daoist Qin a heads-up in advance."

Gu Qingzhao said to Qin Ming quite solemnly.

"Then in that case, Daoist Friend Gu, could you please pass this item to Brother Su on my behalf." Qin Ming took out a Jade Box and handed it to Gu Qingzhao.

Originally he planned to take out this item later, but now Mirror Snow Pavilion is unwilling to wade into this muddy water.

He can only take it out earlier.

Gu Qingzhao took the Jade Box, slightly opened it to take a look, surprised her Starry Eyes widened, "Second Tier Divine Origin Fruit!"

Inside the Jade Box lay quietly five egg-sized strange Spirit Fruits, the surface emitting a layer of misty Spirit Qi.

"No, it's Extreme Grade level Spirit Fruit!"

Gu Qingzhao reacted, staring blankly at Qin Ming, "This is planted by Fellow Daoist Qin?"

"That's right, this is what I promised Brother Su before he left."

Gu Qingzhao closed the Jade Box and put it away, pondered for a moment, and asked expectantly, "Fellow Daoist Qin's Spirit Plant Skill is truly rare, even Second Rank Spirit Plants have already been successfully planted, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin has any extra Divine Origin Fruits in hand? Our Pavilion can High-Rank purchase them."

"I do have some more in hand, but I want to exchange for a Trade condition." Qin Ming pondered for a moment, and said to Gu Qingzhao.

Gu Qingzhao heard there was a chance, a hint of joy appeared between her eyebrows, and smiled slightly, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Qin wants?"
