Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 501 - 267: Transaction (Part 2)

Gu Yuntao, as a top expert at the late-stage Golden Core, has painstakingly built his formidable influence on the soil of Wind Country. He is by no means a reckless person who acts without a plan.

Since he dares to openly propose to attack the Hundred Puppet Sect decades later, he must have enough confidence to back it up.

Given his exquisite Puppetry, he has probably made significant breakthroughs and improvements after years of research and development.

"Forget it, let’s hold our ground for now and wait a while longer."

"According to Gu Yuntao, there should be at least several decades."

Xu Ping secretly calculated in his heart, "In such a long span of time, my cultivation and divine techniques should naturally advance to another level."

"By then, making a decision based on the actual situation will not be too late."

If by that time, Gu Yuntao really has something to contend with the Hundred Puppet Sect, Xu Ping wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

After all, the various rare secret techniques and puppet materials treasured in the Hundred Puppet Sect have always made him covet with envy!

"Now, I have successfully gathered materials for two third-rank mid-grade puppets."

"Next, it’s time to investigate what kind of tricks the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association is playing in secret."

With this in mind, Xu Ping fixed on a direction, immediately performed an escape technique, his figure like lightning, the speed of the Escape Light increased instantly, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

...

...

A month later, time flew by, and the southern rolling mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, dreamlike and illusory.

A team of alliance cultivators affiliated with the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association was driving several ancient and ornate flying carriages, swiftly shuttling through these misty mountains.

"Master Wang, unknown cultivators appear ahead."

An observant guard shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the mountains, breaking the original tranquility.

Everyone’s gaze turned forward, where a deep canyon came into view.

The peaks on both sides of the canyon soared into the clouds, the valley filled with mysterious mist, giving an eerie sense of the unknown.

And right there, amidst the clouds ahead, a figure quietly floated.

This person emanated the aura of nothing more than a Fake Pill cultivation, it was Xu Ping transformed using the Thousand Illusion Mask.

Xu Ping stood on the cloud, clothes fluttering, his expression serene.

The convoy, seeing this, slowly slowed their flying speed, and many guards stood on high alert.

"Hmph!"

"Such audacity, to dare to openly intercept the convoy of the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association!"

In the middle of the quaint carriage, a skinny old man snorted coldly, his voice resounding like a muffled thunder through the sky.

This skinny old man was the Fake Pill Master escorting this important shipment for the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association.

He usually held a high position in the commerce association, expected that this trip would be smooth, but did not expect to be intercepted here.

The Fake Pill Master of the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association’s face turned gloomy, and he flew out from the carriage.

His brows were tightly knit, eyes glaring angrily at Xu Ping, he shouted loudly:

"Merely a Fake Pill cultivation, do not blindly go against the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association, retreat quickly!"

Although a Fake Pill cultivator might seem insignificant to the entire Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association.

But for this convoy on an escort mission, such an unknown Fake Pill cultivator is undoubtedly a significant threat.

If a few stern words could scare them off and avoid an unnecessary conflict, it would be most desirable!

However, faced with such seemingly weak opponents, Xu Ping did not deign to respond to the opponent’s bluster.

He didn’t even bother to use his usual Magical Treasure Wooden Sword.

He only quickly formed seals with his hands, streams of Spiritual Power surged from his fingertips, gathering in the air into sharp Sword Qi.

The sword qi crisscrossed, shooting at the guards of the convoy like lightning.

Those guards were only at Foundation Establishment level, and before they could react, they were hit by the Sword Qi, screaming and falling one after another.

In an instant, blood splattered, staining the surrounding clouds with red.

"A Golden Core Cultivator!!"

The Fake Pill Master from the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association witnessed this scene, his face instantly enveloped in sheer terror, eyes wide with fright.

At this moment, he couldn’t care less about anything else, frantically turning and fleeing for his life.

However, Xu Ping was not about to let him off easily.

Xu Ping’s figure flashed like a ghost, disappearing from where he stood in an instant.

The air was left with a faint, almost imperceptible afterimage, as if he had never paused there.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ping reappeared abruptly in front of the Fake Pill Master.

His expression indifferent, eyes calm yet radiating an undeniable authority, he spoke coldly: "Abandon your struggle!"

As his words fell, Xu Ping suddenly threw a punch.

This punch carried an unparalleled, forceful power, the air ached sharply under the onslaught of the wind, like it was being sliced by sharp blades.

The immense force instantly shredded the hastily erected mana shield of the opponent, that shimmering shield crumbled under this punch like fragile paper, vulnerable beyond measure.

Subsequently, the residual power of the punch didn’t diminish, directly impacting the Fake Pill Master’s dantian.

"Puh!"

Accompanied by a muffled groan, the Fake Pill Master spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward like a broken kite.

Suffering such a heavy blow, his eyes rolled white, slipping straight into unconsciousness.

Xu Ping, without hesitation, immediately reached to firmly grasp his head, and began to perform the Soul-Searching Technique.
