Cultivation Starts from Farming

The three of them chatted idly about the war situation of the three countries.

At this moment, Duan Shuang gently waved his hand, and five jade boxes appeared instantly on the stone table.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, take a look at this."

Duan Shuang, with a smile on his face, pushed the jade boxes towards Xu Ping.

Xu Ping scanned them with his Divine Sense, discovering that they all contained Spiritual Objects for extending one's lifespan.

One Quasi-Tier Three lifespan-extending Spiritual Object Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit, one Hundred-Year Fruit, and the rest were at least all Second-stage lifespan-extending Spiritual Objects.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists!"

A hint of undisguisable delight flashed in Xu Ping's eyes as he clasped his hands together in gratitude.

The bounty Duan Shuang and Gong Yang brought back this time indeed far surpassed his expectations.

Even though all of these lifespan-extending Spiritual Objects had been consumed.

Yet, with such a considerable number, increasing one's lifespan by over a hundred years and enhancing the proficiency in Longevity Skill by over a hundred points would be no difficult task.

Remembering the third-stage talismans he gave them when they left, Xu Ping felt it was more than worth it.

"Compared to the great help Fellow Daoist Xu provided us, this is really nothing significant." Duan Shuang smiled warmly.

"What Fellow Daoist Duan said is extremely true." Gong Yang nodded deeply in agreement from the side.

If it weren't for the third-stage talismans Xu Ping gave them, they would have long perished.

Where could they return intact, and each of them also made considerable gains?

...

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Duan Shuang and Gong Yangling hurriedly left, both intending to enter their caves for a rest and recovery.

After watching the two depart, Xu Ping turned and went alone to the cultivation room.

Immediately, he eagerly took out the Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit and placed it in his mouth without hesitation.

The Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit melted instantly, transforming into a warm stream of air that went straight down his throat to his abdomen.

Several hours later.

Xu Ping opened his eyes, a subtle smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth:

"Not bad, increased lifespan by fifty-eight years, and proficiency in Longevity Skill by an additional fifty-eight points."

The second Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit can still increase such lifespan and proficiency, it is already quite good.

Now, his lifespan has successfully broken through the nine-hundred-year barrier, getting ever closer to the aspirational thousand-year lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

However, despite the gratifying effects of consuming the Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit, Xu Ping did not rush to continue consuming other lifespan-extending Spiritual Objects.

After all, the Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit as a Quasi-Tier Three lifespan-extending treasure, has very potent medicinal effects.

Even though it has been mostly refined and absorbed, a trace of medicinal power still remains in some hidden corners of the body.

Only after fully absorbing this residual power, consuming a second lifespan-extending Spiritual Object to ensure its medicinal efficacy remains potent and can wield maximum effect.

Thus, the passage of seven days flew by in an instant.

When the medicinal power of the Blood Marrow Vermilion Fruit was fully absorbed, Xu Ping began once again on his path of consumption, starting to consecutively consume Second-stage lifespan-extending Spiritual Objects and Hundred-Year Fruit.

...

[Name: Xu Ping]

[Age: 73/998 years]

[Realm: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 90/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill First Layer: 15/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Major Accomplishment: 1549/1600]

...

"Total lifespan increased by 147 years, proficiency also increased by 147 points!"

Seeing that his lifespan is just two years shy of breaking the thousand-year barrier, Xu Ping was full of excitement, and couldn't help but laugh aloud.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, possessing nearly a thousand-year lifespan!

Such a bizarre occurrence would shock Golden Core Cultivators immensely, and even high and mighty Nascent Soul True Monarchs would probably be speechless in surprise.

Moreover, this is far from the limit; once he breaks through to the Golden Core Stage, his lifespan would definitely far exceed that of ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.

With such a lifespan, even slowly grinding away, one might eventually reach Nascent Soul.

Xu Ping admired the panel for a while before closing it, then sat cross-legged, palms upward, and entered a deep cultivation state.

Now, with many lifespan-extending objects, saving him three years of arduous cultivation, he is merely fifty-one points away from achieving Longevity Skill Perfection.

In about a year's time, perhaps his realm will reach Perfection as well.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel a surge of immense motivation within.

...

...

Time rushes forth like a mighty river, swiftly passing by, as quickly as a galloping horse.

In an instant, more than half a year quietly slipped away.

At the border between Yue Country and Hu Country, this once peaceful and serene land.

At this moment, it is tightly enveloped by a thick atmosphere of tension and oppression, almost solidified.

Only to see that here, two groups of cultivators silently confronted each other.

More than a dozen overwhelming and terrifying mana fluctuations, like raging dragons freed from captivity, surged towards the sky in a flood.

The kind of fearsome pressure horrifies like an invisible giant mountain.

Pressing down upon the army of grand cultivators led by Golden Core Stage Cultivators behind them, each involuntarily trembling with fear.

"Your Six Demon Countries Alliance's Master Xuan Gu, just for the sake of greed, wantonly meddled in the disputes and grievances between the three countries."

"Undergoing such a fate now, you can hardly blame anyone else."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor spoke calmly.

His temperament was exceptionally remarkable, his plain robe gently swaying with the breeze, yet the aura on him had reached Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

And behind him, closely followed five or six Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Jiang Jingxing and Wan Ming.

"Humph!"

"Such arrogance!"

Accompanied by a cold snort, a burly man wrapped in black qi took a step forward.
