Cultivation Starts from Farming

In due time, the opponent might truly comprehend Sword Light Like a Rainbow.

"Die!"

Celestial Desolate Elder's Magic Technique changed, and the gray small sword talisman treasure, carrying terrifying power, slashed at Xu Ping.

With his Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation controlling the talisman treasure, this attack power has completely surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Go!"

Xu Ping directly summoned a purple bracelet, which then expanded with the wind to nearly the size of a house, protecting him completely inside.

Bam!

With one sword strike, the purple bracelet instantly turned to ashes.

Xu Ping's expression was exceedingly serious, and using this little time, he directly activated the Spirit Summoning Skill and Heavenly Devil Solution.

As his face turned red, within him, some consumed Mana deep within the pool gathered strands of blood and essence, forming drop by drop of liquid mana,

Boom!

At this moment, his aura completely broke through Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, entering Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

"Slash!"

At this point, he infused all the skyrocketing mana into the Purple Sun Sword in his hand, and then slashed out with it.

Boom!

As if the Thunder God descended to the world, a dazzling, majestic sword light burst forth from the sword tip, carrying the momentum to cut through heaven and earth, slicing at the gray small sword talisman treasure.

Bang!

The sword light and gray small sword talisman treasure collided fiercely, accompanied by a huge rumbling sound.

The sword light shattered into pieces, while the gray small sword talisman treasure regressed into a gray talisman, which then scattered, turning into ashes!

"What kind of secret technique is this!" Seeing this scene, Celestial Desolate Elder was shocked and cried out, directly forming seals with both hands, his face turned red, and escaped as a blood light!

Even his strongest talisman treasure had been destroyed by the opponent, if he didn't leave now, he feared his life would be in jeopardy!

"Demonic escape technique?"

Xu Ping likewise formed seals with both hands, instantly activating the Perfection Level Elemental Magnetic Escape Skill.

Swoosh!

The next moment, he transformed into a long rainbow of spirit light, pursuing at a speed far surpassing the opponent.

In the blink of an eye, the two were over a hundred miles away.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Celestial Desolate Elder glanced back with Divine Sense to see Xu Ping closing in, his face showing fear.

Swordsmanship, secret technique, escape technique, all so strong; could the opponent actually be a Fake Pill Cultivator pretending?

"Ah... This is your doing!"

Celestial Desolate Elder transmitted with Divine Sense, his expression malicious.

In the next instant, he suddenly stopped the Escape Light, each of his ten fingers pinching a thunder bead, fiercely flung them backward: "Today I will perish with you!"

Xu Ping's expression remained unchanged, the Purple Sun Sword flew out, flipping two real thunder beads.

Boom! Boom!

Terrifying explosions occurred in the surroundings, but the remaining thunder beads only exploded into flying ash and scattered upon hitting the Heaven Gold Ring's surface—they were all fake!

Under his strong Divine Sense, the opponent's little tricks were utterly ineffective, instead exposing their own weakness.

Xu Ping no longer planned to delay, the longer Heavenly Devil Solution was used, the greater the consumption of essence.

"Slash!"

He suddenly accelerated, closing in on Celestial Desolate Elder, striking a sword directly from above.

The majestic sword light turned into a stream of cyan-gold, slashing towards Celestial Desolate Elder.

Celestial Desolate Elder helplessly threw out a small black shield, yet it was ruthlessly shattered by the sword light.

The next instant.

Another sword light came attacking.

Crack!

Accompanied by a teeth-grating cracking sound, Celestial Desolate Elder's protective spirit cover shattered in an instant.

Then, Xu Ping wielded the Purple Sun Sword, stabbing forward, piercing into Celestial Desolate Elder's Dantian Sea of Qi...

"Ah!"

Celestial Desolate Elder just emitted a scream and was pinned down by Xu Ping, mana surging, as layers of restriction appeared on his body.

After finishing all this.

Xu Ping immediately stopped the Heavenly Devil Solution and Spirit Summoning Skill.

"Phew!"

"The first time using Heavenly Devil Solution for this long, the side effects are truly substantial."

Xu Ping gently breathed out a turbid breath, his aura rapidly declining, and his complexion became exceedingly pale.

If delayed further, excessive essence consumption would damage the Primordial Qi.

"Time to leave!"

Xu Ping carried Celestial Desolate Elder and whisked away into the sky with Escape Light.

The commotion from the duel just now was significant. Given his current state, it would be troublesome if it attracts others.

...

Ten days later.

Nighttime.

Inside a temporarily carved-out cave mansion.

The Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls radiate brilliant light.

Xu Ping suddenly opens his eyes, with a sharp gleam passing through his pupils, "Phew, my vitality is finally restored!"

Although this battle wasn't extremely dangerous, it was quite exhausting.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection holding a treasure talisman could still cause him considerable trouble.

Xu Ping's gaze shifts to the unconscious Celestial Desolate Elder in the cave mansion.

The reason he spared the other person's life was mainly to figure out what exactly was inside that Jade Box and how to open it.

Without hesitation, he directly injected a wisp of Mana into the Celestial Desolate Elder on the ground.

The Celestial Desolate Elder moaned and awoke from unconsciousness. He felt his broken dantian and his face instantly turned ashen, "Just kill me!"

With his dantian broken, he is now just an ordinary person.

"Tell me, is the Geng Metal inside this Jade Box?" Xu Ping asked calmly.

The Celestial Desolate Elder kept his eyes tightly shut, saying nothing.

"I know you seek death wholeheartedly, but with the Soul-Searching Technique at hand, once I master it, I can personally take action. Given your current state, achieving death is exceptionally difficult." Xu Ping threatened coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Desolate Elder couldn't help but tremble all over. He forced open his heavy eyelids and hoarsely said, "The box contains Geng Metal."

"It's really Geng Metal!!"

Xu Ping could hardly suppress his wild joy in his heart; it's a treasure even coveted by Golden Core cultivators, and he was extremely envious.

Did he really just obtain it?

If he could forge it into the Sword Array, the power of the Sword Array would be significantly enhanced.

By that time, even if he hasn't comprehended sword light as a rainbow, slashing a Fake Pill might not just be a dream!

Slashing a Fake Pill!!

Is that something a Foundation Establishment can imagine?

"How do I open the restriction on this?" Xu Ping took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement, and asked.

The Celestial Desolate Elder remained silent for a moment and then weakly replied, "In my Storage Ring, there's a control token; you can control the restriction on the Jade Box with it,"

"Control token?"

"Is it this one?" Xu Ping carefully searched within the Celestial Desolate Elder's Storage Ring with his Divine Sense, and unexpectedly pulled out a token made of metal.

"Yes." The Celestial Desolate Elder nodded with difficulty, "Once you refine it, you'll be able to control the restriction on the Jade Box."

"Refine?"

Xu Ping held the token in his hand, channeling Mana, he removed the Divine Sense imprint on it and began refining it.

Half an hour later.

As the token emitted bursts of spiritual light, mysteriously, a connection was formed between Xu Ping and it, and a surge of information flowed directly into his mind.

Xu Ping pondered slightly, then turned his palm, and the Jade Box covered with restrictions appeared.

The Celestial Desolate Elder's cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer, but it quickly dissipated, and then he tightly closed his eyes.

Who could imagine a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator having such strength?

He was defeated without injustice!

"Open!"

Xu Ping held the token, channeling Mana, and uttered lightly.

Instantly, the restriction on the Jade Box erupted with intense light, and finally, all converged.

Click!

The Jade Box popped open with a bang, and inside lay a large piece of pale golden stone.

"Is this the renowned Geng Metal?"

Xu Ping curiously held it in his hand, observing it carefully.

It felt somewhat cold to the touch, similar to ordinary stones, the only remarkable thing being it could block his Divine Sense.

After playing with it for a while, Xu Ping then placed it back into the Jade Box, carefully storing it in the Storage Ring.

After securing the Geng Metal, his gaze fell on the Celestial Desolate Elder, who was waiting to die with closed eyes.

"Farewell, fellow Daoist!"

Xu Ping flicked a finger, and a ray of spiritual light pierced directly through his forehead, leaving a blood hole penetrating from front to back.

The Celestial Desolate Elder let out a muffled sound, and with a thud, fell to the ground dead.

Having removed the restriction on the Jade Box and obtained the Geng Metal, the Celestial Desolate Elder held no further value to Xu Ping.

Considering the other party generously gave him a piece of Geng Metal, he was still willing to give him release.

Xu Ping operated his Mana to extract some blood from his corpse, then injected it into the Thousand Illusion Mask to begin refining.

Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine on the Celestial Desolate Island should not be wasted; they are also a significant source of income.
