Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 476 - 261: Rescue; Runes

One month later.

The sky was as blue as a gem, with white clouds floating leisurely.

Xu Ping was driving the Escape Light, flying over a river.

This river, known as Three Rivers River, is one of the four major rivers of Wind Country.

The wide river surface shimmered with light, and the river water rushed endlessly, like a winding giant dragon lying on the earth.

Once he crossed this river, he would be not far from the Purple Mountain Association’s base, Hundred Spirit Mountain.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Xu Ping’s brow suddenly furrowed.

With his keen senses, he clearly perceived waves of battle fluctuations, and among them was a presence that felt quite familiar to him.

"Miao Jun?"

After a brief pondering, Xu Ping silently flew toward the origin of the battle fluctuations.

Crossing a tributary of the Three Rivers River, the waters gathered into a shallow area.

As Xu Ping approached, he could see the scene clearly.

It really was Miao Jun!

However, at the moment, his situation was quite unfavorable, being besieged by two Golden Core cultivators.

And Xu Ping also recognized one of the Golden Core cultivators attacking Miao Jun.

It was none other than Cao Ming, who had mocked Miao Jun at the trading convention earlier.

"So people from the Wanxiang Trading House are besieging Miao Jun?"

"Aren’t they afraid of the Seed Puppet Sect?" Thinking of this, Xu Ping’s brow slightly raised, and a trace of doubt involuntarily rose in his heart.

Those two Golden Core cultivators besieging Miao Jun displayed fierce attacks, each move ruthless, obviously intending to put Miao Jun to death.

Fortunately, with two uniquely shaped puppets assisting in combat at Miao Jun’s side, otherwise, he might have been defeated long ago.

Those two puppets had distinctive designs—one wielding a shield, the other holding a massive bow, with arrow feathers reflecting metallic luster in the sunlight.

In contrast, though the two Golden Core cultivators attacking Miao Jun also had puppets aiding their battle, in terms of both puppet quality and actual combat capability, they were noticeably inferior to Miao Jun’s puppets.

Turning his gaze to another side, Miao Sijia and the other cultivators of the Purple Mountain Association were also caught in a bitter battle.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were manipulating various puppets, launching a stormy and violent assault on the Purple Mountain Association cultivators like a well-trained army.

Although the cultivators of Purple Mountain Association also controlled puppets to resist, they were significantly outnumbered and overpowered, retreating step by step.

Miao Sijia held a top-grade magical artifact, gallant and spirited, her puppet guarding by her side, yet faced with the tide-like enemies, she seemed somewhat powerless.

"Interesting."

Xu Ping did not rush to assist but rather focused his attention on Miao Jun’s two puppets with keen interest.

Now, having attained substantial proficiency in puppetry, Xu Ping keenly detected the unique features of these two puppets upon careful observation.

Each of these two puppets was engraved with dense and intricate runes.

The runes were completely different, yet they all enhanced certain capabilities of the puppets.

Take the puppet using a bow and arrow for example, runes were precisely carved on its arm.

The rune lines were smooth and natural, resembling nimble, graceful threads, emitting a faint spiritual power glow.

Thanks to the magical enhancement from the runes, the puppet’s power instantly saw a significant boost.

Each arrow shot carried immense impact force, the arrow winds howled, each carried a mountain-moving ocean-bursting powerful impact.

"These runes are rather intriguing."

Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with an unmistakable intense interest.

If he could acquire these runes, there was no doubt that his future puppet crafting’s battle capabilities would significantly improve.

Once he crafted four or five Third-rank Upper Grade Puppets and engraved the runes, he might even be able to challenge a Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet.

If these runes could be engraved on a Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet, the value would be enormous.

Although Xu Ping wanted to observe a bit longer, the current situation did not allow him to continue watching.

Thus, Xu Ping no longer concealed his presence, his spiritual power surged, instantly bursting with powerful momentum.

"Slash!"

Xu Ping, holding the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword, suddenly slashed.

In an instant.

A sky-reaching sword light shot out from the sword’s tip, carrying an aura of slicing through heaven and earth, it slashed toward one of the Golden Core cultivators attacking Miao Jun.

"Not good!"

The Golden Core cultivator caught off guard by the attack turned pale as a sheet.

His eyes bulged, filled with terror and disbelief.

He couldn’t have imagined, no matter what, that someone would be hiding in the vicinity, delivering such a fatal blow.

In his haste, he managed to summon a defensive magical artifact.

The magical artifact shimmered, emitting a layer of pale blue light screen, attempting to block the terrifying sword light rushing at him.

However, Xu Ping’s fully-powered slash was astonishingly powerful!

It directly sliced through the light screen and blasted away the defensive magical artifact.

And that terrifying sword light, after breaking through numerous obstacles, lost none of its power, continuing with overwhelming momentum, fiercely slashing toward the Golden Core cultivator.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp yet horrifying sound, the mana shield that the Golden Core cultivator had erected was instantly shattered by that terrifying sword light.

The sword light flashed!

A bloodstain instantly appeared on his neck. Initially, it was just a thin line like silk, but in the blink of an eye, blood sprayed out like a gushing spring, staining a vast area of the void red.
