Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 504 - 268: Six Original Runes

Miao Jun was very aware that the current situation left him little choice.

If he didn’t agree to Xu Ping’s conditions, the best outcome for the Purple Mountain Association might only be to abandon Hundred Spirit Mountain.

Preserve as much living power as possible, and then flee to the remote areas of Wind Country to eke out a meager existence.

However, before handing over the original runes, Miao Jun made a request—to have Xu Ping help Miao Wanqian recover his foundation first.

Xu Ping agreed without hesitation; he had already anticipated that Miao Jun would make such a demand, everything was within his plan and control.

Before long, the two arrived at Miao Wanqian’s residence. Well-informed, Miao Wanqian was waiting at the gate in advance to receive them.

Upon seeing them, he respectfully bowed and said, "Clan Leader, Elder Yan."

At this moment, although Miao Wanqian had undergone a period of recuperation and his injuries had somewhat healed,

if one observed closely, they could sense a faint aura of decline emanating from him.

"This is Elder Yan, whom our Purple Mountain Association specially invited to heal your injuries and restore your foundation," Miao Jun introduced.

"Heal injuries and restore the foundation?"

Miao Wanqian’s eyes immediately lit up with a hope rekindled.

But soon, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

He knew his injuries all too well. He was poisoned secretly by the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association, and the toxin had penetrated to his foundation.

Even the experienced high-level physicians in the clan had shaken their heads and sighed, directly stating that even ordinary third-tier physicians would find it difficult to restore his damaged foundation to its original state. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

However, since the other party was specially invited by the clan leader, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Elder Yan."

Miao Wanqian bowed once more to Xu Ping, incredibly sincere in his demeanor.

While he didn’t hold much hope of genuine recovery, as long as there was even a sliver of possibility, he didn’t want to give up easily.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping nodded slightly, then said, "To the den. I will heal you."

The three entered the den together. Xu Ping motioned for Miao Wanqian to sit on the mat; Miao Wanqian complied and sat down with his back to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping placed his right hand on Miao Wanqian’s back.

In an instant, a gentle yet vigorous surge of Longevity Mana poured continuously into Miao Wanqian’s body through Xu Ping’s palm.

Miao Wanqian felt a warm current flowing from his back, quickly spreading throughout his body.

This warm current was entirely different from the Spiritual Power he had felt before; it was full of vitality and life, as if carrying endless lifeforce.

With this Mana flowing in, his meridians and Dantian, ravaged by toxins, began to repair under the nourishment of Longevity Mana.

"It really works!!"

Miao Wanqian clearly felt the changes in his meridians and Dantian, and a wave of ecstasy surged through his heart.

Yet he knew at this moment he mustn’t move; he feared disturbing the elder who was healing him.

Thus, he restrained his inner excitement and joy, remaining completely still, like a statue.

Time passed minute by minute in silence; the entire den was so quiet that only Miao Wanqian’s faint breathing could be heard.

And the subtle sound of Mana flowing, as if time itself had come to a halt.

In truth, for Xu Ping, repairing Miao Wanqian’s foundation and injuries was not difficult, merely a small effort.

But to make Miao Jun feel that this transaction was worth every ounce while showing he was earnest and dedicated, Xu Ping deliberately slowed the repair process, drawing out the time.

An hour passed.

"Mission accomplished!"

Xu Ping slowly retracted his right hand, deliberately feigning exhaustion, letting out a long breath.

Miao Wanqian opened his eyes slowly, filled with surprise and disbelief.

He tried to circulate his inner Spiritual Power and was thrilled to discover the once smooth sensation had returned.

Moreover, the flow of Spiritual Power was more fluent than ever, and the Mana stored in the Dantian was more robust than before.

"I... my foundation is really restored!"

Miao Wanqian’s voice trembled with excitement, filled with uncontrollable joy.

He looked at Xu Ping with eyes full of gratitude and reverence.

Restoring his foundation, continuing his immortal journey, it was akin to granting him a second life.

Miao Jun, who had been watching the healing process all along, now saw that Miao Wanqian’s foundation was indeed restored, his heart felt relieved.

He looked at Xu Ping, eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of relief: "Friend Yan, truly vast Divine Techniques, Miao admires."

Xu Ping smiled slightly, dismissing it with a wave of his hand in a carefree manner: "A mere trifle."

"Now that Miao Wanqian’s foundation has been restored, Fellow Daoist Miao, don’t forget our agreement."

Miao Jun nodded heavily, speaking with a firm tone:

"Rest assured, Friend Yan, my word is my bond; I am not one to go back on it."

"Upon returning to the cave dwelling, I shall immediately retrieve the original runes and personally hand them to you, Friend Yan."

Miao Wanqian, although unsure of what agreement was reached between Xu Ping and the clan leader, bowed once more to Xu Ping, sincerely expressing:

"Thank you for the kindness of Elder Yan’s rebirth; Miao Wanqian will remember it always and repay it generously in the future."

Xu Ping graciously accepted the bow. Indeed, such great kindness and virtue merit this respectful gesture.

Miao Jun specifically instructed Miao Wanqian to ensure proper meditation and body repairs.
