Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 242 - 180: Turmoil at the Island Ruins; Three Talismans Array Formed

Chapter 242: Chapter 180: Turmoil at the Island Ruins; Three Talismans Array Formed

Gong Yang also sighed helplessly.

At this moment, all three of them involuntarily fell into silence.

Finally, it was Duan Shuang who broke the silence first: "Actually, this matter may not be entirely bad for us."

"If we try our best, perhaps the opportunity for Core Formation might just appear." A resolute glimmer flashed in Duan Shuang’s eyes.

"Core Formation opportunity?"

Upon hearing these words, Gong Yang’s heart was immediately stirred.

However, when he thought about this trip to the Ruins Deserted Island being potentially several times more dangerous than before, hesitation arose in his heart again.

The last time they explored the Ruins Deserted Island, all the forces of Yue Country had come out in full force.

But with the help of the talismans provided by Xu Ping, he and Duan Shuang could barely rank in the upper-middle tier on the island.

This time, however, it was different. With cultivators from three countries gathering, the two of them might only be at the very bottom.

’Is it really worth risking it all for a vague chance at Core Formation?’ Gong Yang deeply pondered.

"Fellow Daoists, discussing this now might be premature. The entire Wanzhe Waters is currently rife with evil entities, and the Ruins Deserted Island is a hotspot for them."

"Even if all the cultivators from the three countries come here, it would still take quite some effort to clear the evil entities from the island." Xu Ping slowly said.

"Indeed!"

Upon hearing this, both Duan Shuang and Gong Yang nodded in agreement.

The Wanzhe Waters has always been overrun by evil entities, and the Ruins Deserted Island is the source of the outbreak. Even if all the cultivators gathered here, just discussing how to clear the evil would lead to endless debates.

After all, no one wants to be at a disadvantage!

"Master, Yang Hong from the Luoyun Sect has come to seek an audience!"

While the three were discussing, the voice transmission from the Water Rat Divine Sense came.

"Yang Hong?"

Xu Ping was slightly startled. It was still early from the agreed time, why did he come earlier?

Could it be that...

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened?" Gong Yang inquired.

"Elder Yang from the Luoyun Sect is here. He must have an important matter to discuss with me," Xu Ping replied.

"Elder Yang from the Luoyun Sect?"

Both Duan Shuang and Gong Yang were slightly taken aback, then sensibly said, "In that case, it is inappropriate for us to disturb Fellow Daoist Xu and Elder Yang’s conversation."

After all, Yang Hong, an elder with a Fake Pill from the Luoyun Sect, specifically came to visit Xu Ping, a Third-rank Talisman Master. Clearly, they were not qualified to be present and listen.

....

After Duan Shuang and Gong Yang left, Xu Ping invited Yang Hong to the pavilion.

Just as they settled down, Yang Hong hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, how many Breaking Charms of the Third-rank Lower Grade have you drawn? Our transaction might need to be advanced."

’As expected.’

Xu Ping had already guessed this much, but still maintained a hint of surprised expression and asked in confusion:

"It’s only been about half a year since our agreed time. Why has the transaction time been moved up so much?"

"Ah, there’s no choice." Yang Hong shook his head regretfully, showing a troubled expression, but did not explain the reason in detail.

And Xu Ping sensibly did not inquire further, instead, he sighed helplessly and said, "Over the past six months, I have been tirelessly researching and drawing day and night, and have only succeeded in making one piece."

Saying that, he flipped his palm, and a purple talisman imbued with powerful breaking energy appeared in his hand.

With Xu Ping’s current Talisman Master skill, along with panel assistance, it was naturally impossible to only refine one Breaking Charm.

In reality, he had successfully refined three Breaking Charms in just three months.

After that, he stopped his production.

After all, he originally planned to offer two pieces for the transaction, and leave the remaining one for unexpected situations, to prepare for any unforeseen emergencies.

"Just one?"

Yang Hong’s gaze fell on the talisman in Xu Ping’s hand, with a trace of disappointment involuntarily flashing in his eyes.

However, the current situation was urgent, leaving him with no room for too much pickiness or choice. Having one was better than none, after all.

"One will barely do. But a single Third-rank Lower Grade Breaking Charm can only be exchanged for one item. What would Fellow Daoist Xu like to exchange it for?" Yang Hong asked, looking at Xu Ping.

Originally, it required at least two Third-rank Lower Grade Breaking Charms for the exchange, but since he was the one who brought the transaction forward, he had to take some loss.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping slowly said, "I’ll take the Second-stage Talisman Array Inheritance!"

After all, it was something he had decided long ago, so there was no need to overthink it.

"Alright!"

Yang Hong nodded slightly to indicate his agreement, then swiftly flipped his palm to produce a smooth jade slip in his hand.

He used his mana to gently support the jade slip and moved it in front of Xu Ping, saying, "This jade slip contains detailed records of the Second-stage Talisman Array Inheritance. You might want to check it first, Fellow Daoist."

Xu Ping reached out and took the jade slip, then carefully sent his Divine Sense into it.

In an instant, the contents of the jade slip clearly appeared in his mind.

A moment later, Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed the Second-stage Talisman Array Inheritance, without a doubt. This cooperation has been very pleasant!"

"Pleasant cooperation!" Yang Hong responded.

After successfully completing the transaction, Yang Hong promptly stood up and bid farewell. From his urgent demeanor and actions, it was clear that he was pressed for time and busy with affairs.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I still have many pressing matters to attend to, so I won’t linger here for long," Yang Hong said as he cupped his hands in salute.

"Take care, Elder Yang." Xu Ping also politely responded without any pretense of insisting him to stay.
