Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 847 - 380: Fourth Rank Lower Grade Musical Arts
"Then I’ll borrow your auspicious words!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yuxuan laughed heartily, showing full confidence.
Then, the two parted ways.
Jin Yuxuan flew with his clansmen towards the territory of the Golden Spirit Mouse, while Xu Ping departed in another direction with the Water Lake Mouse.
Three months later.
Blood Bone Island, deepest part of the underground cave mansion.
Shielded from the external Yin Qi and clamor, the spiritual Qi here drifted like mist, and the Earth Vein energy flowed smoothly.
Xu Ping had reverted to human form, his dark robe ink-like, standing beside the Spiritual Spring where the Profound Celestial Embryo resided.
He cautiously took out from a specially made jade box, the Heavenly Demon Yin Flower emitting a dark luster and surrounded by extreme Yin aura.
The bud, picked prematurely and devoid of soil for a long time, seemed somewhat languished, the edges of the petals even showing a trace of withered gray.
"Indeed... away from its source, not matured, vitality loss is severe."
Xu Ping muttered to himself, but his gaze was directed at the center of the Spiritual Spring, where the Profound Celestial Embryo hovered quietly, absorbing and releasing spiritual Qi.
Although there was no concrete evidence.
He always felt that placing rare spirit plants next to this mysterious embryo would receive some indescribable nourishment and protection.
No further hesitation.
Xu Ping’s fingertips swirled with pure Earth Element Spiritual Power, carefully opening a small spiritual garden beside the Profound Celestial Embryo.
The soil was the Five Elemental Soil he had improved, of extraordinary quality.
Xu Ping gently planted the Heavenly Demon Yin Flower into it.
Once the stem entered the soil, it seemed even more languished.
Nonetheless, Xu Ping’s expression remained calm.
But a trace of gentle green flashed in his eyes.
Xu Ping formed a seal with his hands and immediately cast a maturing secret technique.
The life essence within him began to transform into pure Vitality Power, like sweet dew sprinkled upon the Heavenly Demon Yin Flower.
Under the nourishment of this Vitality Power, the Heavenly Demon Yin Flower underwent magical changes immediately.
The originally withered petals regained their vibrancy, while the bending stem also straightened again.
In mere moments, this once dying Heavenly Demon Yin Flower was not only forcibly revived but became vigorous and brimming with spiritual charm.
Although far from fully mature, its foundation was solid, and its potential fully awakened.
However, Xu Ping merely revived it; it was still far from the point of full maturation.
Such a rare treasure, maturing it in one go, could drain a massive amount of his lifespan, which would be entirely unworthy.
It’s better to proceed slowly; after all, with his presence, the maturation time would be significantly shortened.
According to Xu Ping’s estimation, under his maturation process, it could be fully mature in a few decades at most.
And it wouldn’t consume too much of his lifespan either.
Xu Ping’s gaze swept across the spirit plants beside the eye of the Spiritual Spring, feeling very satisfied.
At the center, ’Profound Celestial Embryo’ absorbed and released spiritual Qi.
The ’Dragon Blood Fruit Tree,’ entirely red like blood jade, with branches strong as a dragon.
The ’Flame Prison Purple Wood,’ surrounded by purple flames, exuding an incinerating aura.
And before him, the ’Heavenly Demon Yin Flower,’ flowing with ghostly light.
Though few in number, each one is a rare treasure, capturing the creation of heaven and earth.
Enough to drive late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators mad.
"Squeak squeak..."
Beside him, the Water Lake Mouse had long been drooling with crimson eyes fixed on the Heavenly Demon Yin Flower and Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, longing immensely.
The master’s treasures... are becoming more enticing to the mouse.
"Take good care of your Heavenly Demon Yin Flower."
Seeing the Water Lake Mouse in such a shameful state, Xu Ping couldn’t help but chuckle and instructed, "Once it’s fully mature, you’ll naturally benefit."
"Rest assured, master, little mouse will not let anyone or any insects near this precious flower."
"Starting today, I’ll sleep right here!"
It patted its chest and promised, immediately standing upright and scanning around with keen eyes, showing a most loyal guardian’s demeanor.
Xu Ping nodded slightly, saying no more.
He then proceeded to the secret room and began organizing demon beast remains.
Altogether, the remains of two Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts and four Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Beasts, quite a haul.
This harvest far exceeded the puppet materials he acquired from trading with Liang Ming.
After all, no matter how great Liang Ming’s divine techniques are, it’s difficult to gather Tier Four puppet materials, let alone trade them.
"Engaging in demon race battles indeed is the best way to collect puppet materials!"
Looking at the demon beast remains before him, Xu Ping couldn’t help but sigh.
If this happens a few more times, he might even collect enough materials for ten Tier Four Middle-grade Puppets.
Moreover, the Evil Qi I absorbed was minimal.
The only pity being that such large-scale racial death battles are rare even within the diverse demon race.
After organizing all the beast materials, Xu Ping began operating to restore mana.
Now, it depended on whether Jin Yuxuan was able to break through successfully.
His success or failure would impact Xu Ping’s subsequent plans and arrangements.
....
Three years later.
Xu Ping received a letter from Jin Yuxuan.
The letter mentioned that he had broken through to Fourth Rank Top Grade and expressed his gratitude to Xu Ping.
"Excellent, excellent, Fellow Daoist Jin indeed broke through to Fourth Rank Top Grade."
Holding this special Sound Transmission Talisman, Xu Ping’s lips involuntarily revealed a satisfied smile.
Fourth Rank Top-grade Demon Beast, that was already as terrifying as a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator of the Human Race.
With such a powerful ally, his status in the outer sea would be more stable.
More importantly, after Jin Yuxuan’s breakthrough, efforts to gather Tier Four Middle-grade Puppet materials.
Or to seek opportunities for the Water Lake Mouse to break through to Fourth Rank Top Grade, would receive substantial help.
"Master."
At this moment, the Water Lake Mouse with a fawning smile said, "Golden Clan Leader intended to invite the master to attend his breakthrough celebration."
