Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 318 - 209: Epiphany—Entry Level of Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill
In its place was a warm, tingling sense of comfort.
At this moment, Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, excitement and elation gleaming in them.
He couldn’t wait to open the proficiency panel.
[Name: Xu Ping]
[Life Span: 70/678 years]
[Cultivation Level: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 75/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill, Level 1: 1/100]
[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Mastery: 1161/1600]
...
"Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill... finally cultivated successfully!"
Seeing the clear display on the proficiency panel, Xu Ping couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
After spending so much time and effort, and taking advantage of this rare opportunity for a small enlightenment, he finally managed to cultivate it successfully.
If he relied on slowly comprehending it himself, who knows when he would reach the entry level.
"Whew!"
Xu Ping took a deep breath, striving to suppress the tumultuous emotions in his heart, and began to calmly sense the various changes in his body. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Crack!
When Xu Ping clenched his fist tightly, the muscles on his arms instantly tensed, becoming as hard as iron.
Thick veins bulged clearly beneath the skin, resembling hibernating flood dragons, and his joints emitted a crisp sound.
A torrent of unprecedented strength surged from the depths of Xu Ping’s body, making him feel as though he could effortlessly shatter everything before him.
Of course, he knew well that this was just a side effect of the tremendous increase in strength over a short period.
"The strength didn’t diminish; instead, it increased by forty to fifty percent!"
After carefully sensing and judging, Xu Ping reached this delightful conclusion.
His eyes instantly lit up, and a wave of ecstatic joy surged in his heart.
He truly didn’t expect the ’Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill’ to be so formidable.
Having just stepped into the first level, the increase in strength was already forty to fifty percent stronger than the peak state of the second level of the ’Blood Demon Body Refining.’
Xu Ping estimated in his heart that at this rate of development, when the ’Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill’ was cultivated to the third level, its explosive strength might not be much weaker than that of an ordinary Golden Core body cultivator.
Thinking of this, he was filled with anticipation for the future of this cultivation technique.
"Let’s test its renowned defensive power!"
Xu Ping turned his palm, and a brilliantly cold upper-grade magical blade appeared in his hand.
This magical blade had an exquisitely crafted shape, with the blade flashing a cold gleam, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.
Next, Xu Ping slowly infused a trace of mana into the upper-grade magical blade, and as the mana circulated, the blade’s glow became increasingly dazzling.
He lightly gritted his teeth and forcefully swung the blade across his own arm.
Screech!
A piercing sound of friction rang out, like metal scraping against glass, terribly painful to the ears.
A white mark appeared on Xu Ping’s arm, yet this white mark quickly vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye under his abnormal recovery ability.
"This defensive power... a bit exaggerated, isn’t it!" Witnessing this scene, Xu Ping couldn’t help but be shocked.
An upper-grade magical artifact couldn’t even break through the defense?
This defensive power is probably far superior to that of an ordinary second-stage upper-grade body cultivator.
"It seems Tong Xingbang didn’t exaggerate the capabilities of the ’Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill’. Should this technique be cultivated to the sixth-layer perfection realm, it might really withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator without dying!" Xu Ping thought to himself.
Bear in mind, the gap between Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators is far greater than from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, like a chasm.
In the Foundation Establishment realm, perhaps through clever use of talisman arrays and other means, there is a chance to injure Golden Core cultivators, or even defeat them is not entirely impossible.
But no matter how exceptional a Golden Core cultivator is, facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, just barely holding their own is already considered a remarkable talent with unmatched battle prowess.
"Reaching that level, truly is the moment when the sky is high for birds to fly, and the ocean broad for fish to leap," Xu Ping sighed in his heart.
However, as of now, he was still countless miles away, so he would continue diligently.
Soon, Xu Ping’s mind calmed down.
It was then that he noticed he was emitting a strong smell of blood.
Xu Ping frowned slightly and summoned water to wash away the residual demon beast blood.
However, although he was clean, his stomach rumbled loudly.
The sensation of hunger swept over him like a tide, with every cell in his body yearning for nutritional energy.
The hunger was so intense that even Xu Ping’s willpower struggled to endure it.
Quickly, he pulled out a few of his own refined fasting pills and swallowed them.
However, the meager energy contained in the fasting pills was merely a drop in the ocean for his current need for nutrients and fell far short of satisfying his body’s needs.
So he had to set his sights on the flesh of third-tier demon beasts.
"Shuihu rat, come to the training room," Xu Ping transmitted with his divine sense.
"Coming, Master."
Responding quickly, the Shuihu rat scampered into the training room.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Shuihu rat asked, smiling widely.
"Roast this meat!" Xu Ping tossed a large piece of third-tier giant python meat to the Shuihu rat.
Although he’d crossed over into the cultivation realm for several decades, his habit of not eating raw meat was ingrained in him.
Furthermore, the demon fire of the Shuihu rat was undoubtedly superior to his Foundation True Flame, making it the natural choice for roasting third-stage demon beast flesh.
"Third-stage demon beast meat!"
The Shuihu rat caught the large piece of meat steadily, suddenly feeling astonished.
But thinking of the master’s incredible abilities, it quickly relaxed.
"Alrighty!"
The Shuihu rat responded and began to spit demon fire to roast this large piece of demon beast meat.
Time passed.
Before long, the inviting aroma of the roast meat gradually wafted out, filling the entire training room.
"Gulp!"
Xu Ping involuntarily swallowed, his eyes slightly reddened from extreme hunger.
The hunger was so intense, almost making him lose control.
Meanwhile, the Shuihu rat, roasting the meat beside him, watched Xu Ping with trepidation.
It truly feared that with one careless move, the master might just eat him instead.
