Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 538 - 276: The Transformation of the Waterlake Rat; Modifying the Spirit Contract 3

Chapter 538: Chapter 276: The Transformation of the Waterlake Rat; Modifying the Spirit Contract 3

As soon as the words were spoken, he turned directly and left Miao Jun’s cave dwelling.

His steps were steady and determined, without a hint of hesitation.

Watching Xu Ping’s gradually disappearing figure, Celestial Wind Zhenren’s face turned completely grim.

He clenched his fist, the veins on his forehead slightly throbbing, the anger in his heart almost erupting.

"Hmph, doesn’t know what’s good for him!" he coldly said.

If it weren’t for the opponent’s formidable battle strength, he couldn’t be bothered to waste so many words.

Seeing this scene, Miao Jun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but merely sighed slightly, without uttering a word.

...

A cup of tea later.

Xu Ping had already maneuvered the Escape Light and returned to the side hall of the Water Curtain Mountain.

At this moment, the Water Lake Mouse was obediently stabilizing its cultivation on a meditation mat.

After glancing at it, Xu Ping withdrew his gaze.

"It seems, Yan Ruchen’s position as a Purple Mountain Association enshrinee, I’m afraid can’t be retained." Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The Seed Puppet Sect was indeed as domineering as the rumors said.

With such power and a Third-rank Upper Grade Spirit Pet, instead of tempting him with great benefits, they actually wanted to forcefully demand his services!

This trip truly allowed him to witness the tyrannical style of the Seed Puppet Sect.

"Perhaps, in the future, I can find opportunities to interact with Gu Yuntao more, to probe his intentions. If he truly has a way to deal with the Seed Puppet Sect, helping him wouldn’t hurt." Xu Ping silently planned in his heart.

Gu Yuntao was powerful, with even stronger puppetry skills, and getting closer to him would also help in purchasing puppet materials.

It should be known that puppet materials of Third-rank Upper Grade are extremely hard to find even in Wind Country.

If he were to rely on himself to find them, without dozens of years, he probably wouldn’t be able to gather a complete set of materials.

...

...

A month later.

Xu Ping was in the side hall, sitting with his eyes closed, his aura calm, as if he was one with the surroundings.

However, in this seemingly peaceful moment, Xu Ping’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

Immediately, he opened his eyes abruptly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, sharp as two fierce bolts of lightning, shooting straight in the direction of Cangyue Mountain.

Cangyue Mountain.

At this moment, two unexpected guests arrived at the cave dwelling.

One was a white-haired elder from the Purple Mountain Association.

The other was a young cultivator dressed in Seed Puppet Sect attire, with an arrogant and rampant expression, showing his conceit in his every move.

"Two Daoists, I don’t know what business you have with me?"

Xu Ping’s Wood Spirit Avatar cupped his hands to the two, politely inquiring.

The young cultivator from the Seed Puppet Sect looked haughty, gave Xu Ping a sidelong glance, slightly lifted his chin, and in a condescending manner, coldly and tersely said:

"We are here to renegotiate the Spirit Contract with you." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

His words carried no hint of negotiation, full of an imperative tone.

"Renegotiate the Spirit Contract?"

Xu Ping secretly frowned.

But outwardly, he didn’t show any trace of difference, instead feigned a surprised look, asking with a tone of doubt:

"I’ve already signed a Spirit Contract with the Purple Mountain Association before, which hasn’t expired. Why do we need to renegotiate it now?"

The young cultivator frowned deeply, seemingly annoyed by Xu Ping’s inquiry, his tone suddenly becoming impatient:

"Before is before, now is now, the previously signed Spirit Contracts are all void. Now, a new one must be signed."

With that, the young cultivator flicked his finger, a flash of light passed, and a quasi-Tier Three Spirit Contract shot toward Xu Ping like an arrow.

The Spirit Contract traced an arc in the air and landed steadily in Xu Ping’s hand.

Xu Ping took the Spirit Contract calmly, scanning it with his Divine Sense.

In an instant, the terms inside the Spirit Contract clearly appeared in his mind.

In the new Spirit Contract, the advantageous treatments he originally enjoyed, such as priority allocation of cultivation resources, were drastically reduced.

Whereas the requirements in terms of Alchemy were greatly increased, not only specifying the number of Pills to be refined each month but also demanding exceedingly high quality.

"This Seed Puppet Sect is truly greedy and insatiable!" Xu Ping’s heart flashed coldly.

However, he did not argue.

As long as Cangyue Mountain still belonged to him, the rest, he temporarily couldn’t be bothered to calculate too much.

So he signed his name and Mana imprint on the Spirit Contract.

"At least you know your place."

Seeing Xu Ping promptly signing the Spirit Contract without a word, the young cultivator nodded in satisfaction.

After putting away the Spirit Contract, he left without a backward glance.

The white-haired elder from the Purple Mountain Association remained silent throughout, standing quietly to the side, with a trace of helplessness and reluctance in his eyes.

He watched the young cultivator’s departing figure, sighed slightly, seemingly feeling powerless about all that had transpired.

For a decade, Li Gongfeng diligently worked for the Purple Mountain Association, but now...

After the young cultivator went far away, the white-haired elder slowly turned to look at Xu Ping, hesitated to speak, finally just shook his head and silently left the cave dwelling.

...

Meanwhile, in the side hall.

"This matter shouldn’t have much impact on the identity of Li Feiyu."

Perceiving all this through the Wood Spirit Avatar, Xu Ping slightly furrowed his brows, silently contemplating the impact of this matter on himself.

Anyway, he’s not overly concerned with the compensation of Spirit Stones and the like provided by the Purple Mountain Association. To him, the most crucial issue was the ownership of Cangyue Mountain.

Fortunately, according to the Spirit Contract, Cangyue Mountain still belonged to him.

However, this should be temporary, as no one knows if the Seed Puppet Sect will change again in the future.
