Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 440 - 251: Deteriorating Situation; Plan to Escape (Part 2)
He came to a tightly closed door and knocked on the door panel rhythmically, according to a special method.
The knocking sound was crisp and rhythmic, echoing in the silent alley.
A moment later, the door slowly opened, and a beautiful young female cultivator appeared at the door.
She was dressed in a light blue long dress, her figure graceful, her face charming, and her eyes showing cleverness and wit.
"Please, come in!"
Seeing Xu Ping, she nodded slightly, showing a gentle and polite demeanor, and then led Xu Ping into a small room.
The room was not large, simply furnished with a table and a few chairs, and nothing else.
As soon as he sat down on the chair, Xu Ping keenly sensed a hidden Divine Sense sweeping over him.
"Middle Stage of Golden Core?"
Xu Ping couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
Based on the strength of this Divine Sense, he judged that this was undoubtedly a genuine Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
A seemingly ordinary place for selling intelligence had a Middle Stage Golden Core expert stationed, which clearly indicated that this place was by no means as simple as it appeared.
However, fortunately, compared to him, this Golden Core Cultivator’s Divine Sense was still slightly inferior, so it was naturally impossible to see through his disguise.
"I would like to purchase detailed intelligence about the front-line battlefield!"
Xu Ping pretended not to notice, his expression calm as he directly stated his purpose.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful young female cultivator nodded slightly and introduced softly, "The intelligence here is divided into three levels: A, B, and C."
"The higher the level, the more detailed and accurate the intelligence."
She paused and continued, "Grade A intelligence costs five thousand Spirit Stones, Grade B requires three thousand, and Grade C is one thousand Spirit Stones."
"Which level of intelligence do you intend to purchase?" The young female cultivator asked politely with a gentle smile.
"Grade A!"
Xu Ping thought for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
If the intelligence was inaccurate or not detailed, it might lead him to misjudge the situation.
As for the five thousand Spirit Stones, although it was undoubtedly a huge sum for a typical Foundation Establishment Cultivator, for him, it was just a small matter.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ping reached into his storage bag and took out the required amount of Spirit Stones, handing them to the female cultivator.
Receiving the Spirit Stones, a faint trace of surprise flickered in the eyes of the beautiful young female cultivator.
After all, it was extremely rare for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to spend five thousand Spirit Stones just to buy a piece of intelligence.
Such a cash flow would be an enormous sum for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
However, she did not ask any questions out of curiosity.
Instead, she said professionally, "Please wait a moment," then turned and left the room.
The room returned to silence, and Xu Ping sat on the chair, slightly closing his eyes to rest, seemingly calm but actually filled with thoughts.
He continuously speculated in his mind about various possible situations on the front lines and how he should respond.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the young female cultivator returned to the room and handed a specially made one-time jade slip to Xu Ping.
This kind of jade slip was specially made to ensure the confidentiality of the intelligence, and it would automatically crumble after being read once.
Xu Ping took the jade slip and directly invaded it with his Divine Sense to start reading carefully.
As his Divine Sense delved into the jade slip, Xu Ping’s expression became increasingly grave.
The jade slip detailed the current situation on the front lines, and the situation was far worse than he had imagined; it was indeed not optimistic.
The Demon Cultivators had launched a large-scale invasion of Yue Country, attacking on multiple fronts with a fierce momentum.
Moreover, several territories on the underground border area of Yue Country had already fallen into the hands of the Demon Cultivators.
Further, the jade slip recorded that the scope of the Demonic Cultivators’ invasion was not limited to just one country, Yue Country.
In fact, multiple countries under the One Qi Alliance were simultaneously facing the frenzied invasion of demonic forces.
"No wonder the high-ups of Luoyun Sect issued such a decree!" Xu Ping understood clearly.
Now that multiple countries affiliated with the One Qi Alliance were invaded by demonic forces, the One Qi Alliance was naturally unable to focus all its efforts on Yue Country.
What worried Xu Ping more was that this large-scale invasion by demonic cultivators was hard not to suspect as a prelude to an imminent war between righteous and demonic forces.
If it indeed evolved into a righteous-demonic war, someone like him, a Golden Core Cultivator, would be insignificant in such a storm.
Even high-ranking Nascent Soul Cultivators would face the danger of falling.
This undoubtedly made him more determined to leave Yue Country!
The only tricky part was the decree issued by Luoyun Sect.
Although with his strength, he could forcibly pass through the border defenses, doing so would undoubtedly make him an enemy of the entire Luoyun Sect and even the One Qi Alliance.
If his identity was discovered.
He would be wanted and hunted by both the righteous and demonic paths.
He could not resort to such a last-ditch approach unless absolutely necessary.
After a long contemplation, Xu Ping raised his head, looking directly at the beautiful young female cultivator in front of him, his expression serious and grave as he asked:
"If I plan to leave Yue Country at this moment and head to Wind Country, do you have any feasible channels here?"
The female cultivator was slightly startled by the question, seemingly not expecting Xu Ping to make such a request.
Then, she shook her head without hesitation, her face still holding a professional smile, and said:
