"No, I need to think of another way!"

"Looks like I can only start with his Spirit Fields. No matter how reclusive that brat is..."

"He can't possibly ignore his Spirit Fields, can he?"

By the time Chen Zi'ang thought of this, he already had an idea.

He immediately left at a brisk pace.

The third month of spring.

A warm breeze blew beneath bright sunshine—another fine day.

Qin Ming carried his Spirit Hoe out the door.

He had been cultivating behind closed doors these past days and had not had the time to tend to the Spirit Fields.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Qin Ming arrived at his Spirit Fields.

Tender shoots had already sprouted in the three mu of Golden Spirit Rice fields.

Two glittering golden Affixes came into view.

Name: Golden Spirit Rice
Affix: Faint Mana (Maturity 2%)

Name: Golden Spirit Rice
Affix: Quality Enhancement (Maturity 3%)

He then walked over to the two mu of medicinal fields.

Twelve first-tier high-grade Demon Flame Grass plants had survived, along with eleven first-tier Supreme Seven-Leaf Huangling plants.

A survival rate of roughly half was already quite high for high-grade and Supreme Spirit Plants.

But what excited him was—

Among those twenty-odd medicinal herbs, two Affixes had actually appeared!

Name: Demon Flame Grass
Affix: Mastery-Level "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" for Ten Days (Maturity 1%)

Name: Seven-Leaf Huangling
Affix: Abundant Soul Force x5 (Maturity 1%)

Qin Ming stared at the two Affixes, his eyes shining!

His spirits soared.

"Just when I was dozing off, someone brought me a pillow!"

Qin Ming had been diligently practicing the "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" these past days, yet he had made no progress.

He had nearly lost heart, only for the situation to suddenly open up like willow trees giving way to bright flowers.

Qin Ming immediately gritted his teeth and used an Accelerated Growth Affix, instantly ripening the two Spirit Plants.

Half a day later.

The Demon Flame Grass and Seven-Leaf Huangling grew taller at a visible rate until they matured.

Qin Ming immediately harvested the two Spirit Plants.

Two Green Affix Leaves instantly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Affixes he currently had left were:

Accelerated Growth x2

Rebirth Spirit Seed x2

Abundant Soul Force x5

Mastery-Level "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" for Ten Days

The other Affixes had all been consumed during Qin Ming's daily cultivation.

As for the two Affixes in the Golden Spirit Rice fields, he did not intend to waste any Accelerated Growth Affixes on them. Golden Spirit Rice ripened once per season anyway, and its maturation period was short.

After finishing all this.

Qin Ming cast aside all distracting thoughts and used the Mastery-Level "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" for Ten Days Affix.

Boom!

Comprehension of a mastery-level saber technique descended upon Qin Ming like enlightenment pouring straight into his head.

Somehow, Qin Ming felt as though he had practiced the "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" bitterly for decades.

He could not wait to show what he could do and see just how powerful this mastery-level saber technique was.

Qin Ming was immensely excited. With a single leap, he darted into the woods behind the Spirit Fields.

He wanted to find somewhere deserted to test his saber technique.

Qin Ming ran deeper into the forest for a while.

As he ran.

Suddenly!

The same sense of danger as last time surged into Qin Ming's heart.

His powerful Vital Energy instantly sensed four murderous auras behind him, firmly locking onto him.

They were rapidly catching up.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four blue streaks shot across the sky!

Four cultivators dressed in Spirit Feather Sect attire rode a dharma boat and blocked Qin Ming's path.

Two were at Qi Refining Stage Sixth Layer, one at Qi Refining Stage Seventh Layer, and the last was at Qi Refining Stage Eight.

None of the four made any attempt to conceal themselves, as though they had him completely in the bag.

The Qi Refining Stage Eight cultivator among them was even an old acquaintance of Qin Ming's—Chen Zi'ang.

"Well, well, well! Fellow Daoist Qin, where are you rushing off to?" Chen Zi'ang wore a mocking expression, a cold glint in his eyes as he ground his teeth. "You really made me wait!"

"I've been lying in wait here for several whole days just to catch you!"

The Qi Refining Stage Seventh Layer cultivator beside him chimed in, "Senior Brother Chen, we have to give this brat a good torture session later. Let him taste what happens when he refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit! Hehehe!"

"I was wondering why this brat loves burrowing into little woods so much. Made us chase after him for quite a while."

Another Qi Refining Stage Sixth Layer cultivator sized Qin Ming up with a teasing gaze.

When he discovered that Qin Ming was only at Qi Refining Stage Fourth Layer.

He immediately volunteered, "Let me handle it. There's no need to trouble Senior Brother Chen with this kind of trash."

With that, he took out a mid-grade Dharma Sword and formed a sword seal with his fingers.

The flying sword shot straight at Qin Ming with unstoppable force!

The others showed no intention of acting, all standing to the side to watch the show.

The Qi Refining Stage Sixth Layer cultivator who had attacked wore an expression of certain victory.

Dealing with a mere Spirit Farmer would be as easy as taking something from his pocket, wouldn't it?

Qin Ming looked at the flying sword piercing toward him expressionlessly, with no intention of dodging.

"Hehe! Scared stupid, are you?" the cultivator laughed smugly.

Just as everyone thought Qin Ming was bound to be captured.

The situation abruptly changed!

Whoosh!

When the flying sword was less than a foot away from Qin Ming.

Qin Ming moved!

He merely extended his right hand and casually reached forward.

Clang!

He firmly caught the rapidly flying mid-grade Dharma Sword in his hand.

Like steel pincers clamping down on it, the Dharma Sword trembled violently, unable to advance or retreat.

Qin Ming exerted force through his arm, coating the Dharma Sword with Vital Energy Force.

The Dharma Sword instantly lost its connection with that cultivator.

Qin Ming unceremoniously stored it in his Storage Bag.

The Qi Refining Stage Sixth Layer cultivator opposite him looked as though he had seen a ghost and cried out in horror, "How is that possible?! Catching a magical artifact barehanded!"

"He's a body cultivator!"

Only then did the four realize that something was wrong!

They hurriedly drew their magical artifacts and stood on guard!

Qin Ming raised his head and fixed a vicious gaze on the cultivator who had attacked him. Unhurriedly, he said, "Since you struck at me with a sword."

"Then you might as well try taking one slash from me!"

The instant his words fell.

A black long saber brimming with Sha Qi appeared in Qin Ming's hand.

He had been worrying about where to test his saber technique. Today, he would use these people as his whetstone!

The Vital Energy Force within Qin Ming erupted instantly!

It flowed into the Blackwind Blade in his hand.

Then his Vital Energy ignited, and a three-inch-long blaze of saber light burst from the blade.

It was incomparably sharp!

Swish!

Qin Ming leaped into the air!

His figure vanished from where he stood in an instant, leaving behind only an afterimage.

The first form of the "Blood Ignition Saber Technique" came crashing down upon that cultivator, instantly unleashing eighty-one crimson saber lights!

In his panic, the cultivator hurriedly took out a golden bowl defensive artifact to block it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The instant the flaming saber lights struck the golden bowl defensive artifact.

They sliced through it as though cutting tofu.

The saber lights did not slow in the slightest.

They continued onward, instantly piercing through his body.

Bang!

A cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded in the air!

That Qi Refining Stage Sixth Layer cultivator had been hacked into dozens of pieces by Qin Ming's slash, his remains falling from the air.

The scene had unfolded too suddenly.

The area fell deathly silent.

The three remaining Spirit Feather Sect disciples swallowed hard.

What kind of terrifying saber technique was that? It even shattered a defensive artifact!

With just one slash, Qin Ming had completely intimidated the three of them!
