Outside Moon Gazing Island.
Just as Cloud Fishing Old Man stood there in a daze, a young man's voice came from the island:
"Since a Nascent Soul fellow Daoist has come to visit, please come in."
The Devouring Sky Rat jolted. "Master has emerged from seclusion?"
It then cupped its fists toward the Nascent Soul cultivator dressed like an old farmer. "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
Afterward.
The Devouring Sky Rat led Cloud Fishing Old Man onto the island, and when they reached the Main Peak.
Cloud Fishing Old Man gazed at the dazzling array of rare Spirit Plants before him, his face full of astonishment. "I had long heard that Moon Gazing True Monarch was a fourth-rank High-Grade Spirit Planter. Now that I see it for myself, the reputation is truly well deserved!"
"The Spirit Plants cultivated here alone are no inferior to the Spirit Herb Gardens of any great sect."
The Devouring Sky Rat was unimpressed. That was only because the other man had never seen the Lesser Spirit Realm. That was Qin Ming's true foundation.
By now, even Spirit Transformation sects might not be able to compare.
They were even close to cultivating fifth-rank Spirit Plants.
It had heard Qin Ming say that they lacked only a fifth-rank Spirit Vein.
The Devouring Sky Rat brought Cloud Fishing Old Man into Greenwood Pavilion.
In the high seat sat an ordinary-looking young man with a serene expression, who had clearly been waiting for some time.
Upon seeing the cultivator whose name had recently shaken the Immortal Cultivation World, Cloud Fishing Old Man put on a smile and cupped his fists. "This Old Man is Cloud Fishing Old Man, Lu Shungong. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qin."
"I have come to trouble you today. I hope you will not take offense."
"Hehe!
