Cultivation Starts from Farming

In the spacious and grand hall.

A Fake Pill cultivator hurriedly walked into the hall and went straight to the middle-aged man sitting above, urgently reporting:

"Sect Leader, the details of the relic have been clarified. This place was the cultivation ground of the Nine Nether Elder from several thousand years ago."

"The cultivation ground of the Nine Nether Elder?"

The middle-aged man was instantly shocked upon hearing this, and he stared intensely at the Fake Pill cultivator below, immediately asking, "Are you certain?"

Originally, he only thought it was an ordinary relic left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he never expected it to involve the Nine Nether True Person.

This makes it tricky!

"Absolutely certain!"

The Fake Pill cultivator nodded vigorously, speaking with confidence, "Initially, we had some suspicions from certain clues."

"Yesterday, within a building in the relic that had restrictions set up, we found the notes of the Nine Nether Elder. Thus, we can confirm the origin of this place with one hundred percent certainty!"

"Sect Leader, this relic is the cultivation ground of the Nine Nether Elder. Even if there is no Infant Devouring Fruit, there are likely other Spiritual Objects to aid Nascent Soul Formation. What should we do?"

The Fake Pill cultivator's words were filled with anxiety.

If someone from the Luoyun Sect really obtained the Spiritual Objects that assist Nascent Soul Formation and successfully formed a Nascent Soul, their Shuize Sect would be in danger!

The middle-aged man's face turned somber instantly, and thoughts raced through his mind, quickly comprehending the situation.

The Luoyun Sect might have already confirmed this is the cultivation ground of the Nine Nether True Person, and they also know about the hidden Spiritual Objects that can aid Nascent Soul Formation inside.

Thus, they deliberately released the false news about the existence of the Infant Devouring Fruit to mislead them, to conceal the true secret.

"You may leave for now, keep this matter confidential and await my further instructions!"

The middle-aged man's face gradually calmed, and he instructed in an indifferent tone.

"Yes!"

Seeing the Sect Leader's calm demeanor, the Fake Pill cultivator felt somewhat reassured.

After respectfully bowing, he left the hall.

At this moment, only the middle-aged man remained in the empty hall.

"The Luoyun Sect has indeed employed clever tactics, but who will win remains uncertain!" He smirked coldly, then flipped his hand, revealing a talisman with a flickering dark purple glow.

This is a Third-rank Upper Grade Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman, capable of transmitting messages across nations!

...

...

Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Cultivation room.

Xu Ping gazed at the purple talisman papers on the stone table.

These talisman papers, although blank, shimmered with bright spiritual light and emitted a treasure-like glow, clearly not ordinary items.

"The success rate is still a bit low, even with the help of the proficiency panel, using a piece of Third-rank Spirit Wood, only made ten sheets of third-rank talisman paper!"

Xu Ping shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

"I wonder if these ten sheets of third-rank talisman paper can produce at least one third-rank talisman; even if I can draw just one, it would be my gain!"

Despite more than a year of persistent drawing, aided by the proficiency panel.

His skill in drawing talismans had surpassed ordinary Second-stage Upper Grade Talisman Masters, but the failure rate in crafting third-rank talismans was still high.

However, should he succeed even once, with the proficiency panel's assistance, he could continuously craft third-rank talismans.

Then, holding more than a dozen third-rank talismans, defeating a Fake Pill cultivator would be easy, and even threatening a Golden Core Cultivator wouldn't be impossible.

"Oh well, although Third-rank Spirit Wood is precious, it can be purchased with time and Spirit Stones. Once these third-rank talisman papers are used up, I can just buy more."

"For now, I should try drawing a third-rank talisman!" Xu Ping composed himself, preparing to start drawing talismans.

However, he did not start drawing immediately but adjusted his state to the peak before attempting.

.....

...

Time flies, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Cultivation room.

"This is the last one!"

Seeing the lone last sheet of third-rank talisman paper on the table, Xu Ping felt immensely frustrated.

Crafting this third-rank talisman was truly difficult, wasting as many as nine third-rank talismans.

Fortunately, Xu Ping's temperament had been honed over the years, becoming exceedingly resilient, and he quickly regained his composure!

Three days later.

After restoring his internal mana to peak condition, Xu Ping prepared for the final attempt.

He meticulously ground the spiritual ink, dipped the talisman brush, and began drawing the third-rank talisman script, stroke by stroke, on a talisman exuding a purple radiance.

Boom!

When the talisman brush had progressed halfway, a change suddenly occurred.

Thunder roared from the purple talisman, and Thunder Power erupted from the talisman, sweeping all around.

In the face of the sudden Thunder Power, Xu Ping remained expressionless, appearing calm and composed.

Under his precise control, the talisman brush continued to move smoothly across the talisman paper.

Gradually, the talisman on the purple background was adorned with patterns resembling thunder.

At this moment, sweat beads increasingly dotted Xu Ping's forehead, and his internal Longevity Mana was rapidly consumed.

The cyan liquid mana was infused into the talisman paper, consuming nearly half, before barely coming to a halt.

Various lights flashed brilliantly on the talisman paper, but ultimately, silver light retracted, stabilizing it.

"Finally succeeded!"

Seeing his first crafted third-rank talisman 'Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman', joy flickered in Xu Ping's eyes.

Luck played a big part in this success. If it were an ordinary person, the success rate would still be terrifyingly low.

But not for him!

[Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman Entry Level: 1/100]

Seeing the information on the panel, Xu Ping's lips slightly curved: "The rest is simple; I can take my time grinding it out!"
