Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 553 - 281: Quasi-4th Tier Talisman Legacy (Part 2)
"What, does Fellow Daoist Qin really think I’m joking about this kind of thing?"
Gu Yuntao’s lips slightly curved, revealing a faint smile.
"Fellow Daoist Gu’s character, of course, I, Qin, trust implicitly. However, this matter is indeed beyond imagination, quite astounding."
Qin Chenfeng explained with a bitter smile.
"What I, Gu, say is naturally absolutely true."
Gu Yuntao’s expression became serious, "The sword array performed by Fellow Daoist Yan is extremely powerful."
"Ordinary cultivators at Golden Core Perfection find themselves powerless within that sword array, only able to flee in panic."
Hearing this, Qin Chenfeng finally believed it, and couldn’t help but exclaim:
"This Yan Fellow Daoist is indeed a genius among men!"
To possess such strength at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, once reaching Late-Stage Golden Core, or even Golden Core Perfection, few would be able to match him in the Golden Core Realm.
However, upon closer thought, this matter was not entirely unacceptable to him.
After all, he had seen people stronger than this Yan Fellow Daoist, with greater talents.
For example, the very Gu Yuntao in front of him was a living example.
The two fell silent for a moment, and then Qin Chenfeng broke the silence with a hint of expectation in his eyes, looking at Gu Yuntao as he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how have you considered the matter of joining our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?"
"Alas."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuntao sighed helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you’re aware of my circumstances, I haven’t even fully resolved the issues with the Seed Puppet Sect. I can’t really involve myself with other matters."
Qin Chenfeng opened his mouth, wanting to persuade a bit more, but ultimately said nothing.
He knew the strength of the Seed Puppet Sect.
Unless their Valley of Ten Thousand Demons dispatched most of their forces, even the Nascent Soul Patriarch had to intervene, otherwise, they couldn’t deal with the Seed Puppet Sect.
Moreover, as a major country, Wind Country’s Overlord level power, the Hundred Bamboo Sect, would definitely not stand by and let foreign Nascent Soul influences attack the sects within their country.
This was just as the Tushi royal family of their Great Xia Country wouldn’t allow foreign Nascent Soul cultivators to interfere with the conflict between the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Red Sand Sect.
However, the Tushi royal family also wouldn’t sit back and watch the Red Sand Sect utterly wipe out the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
On the contrary, if the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons declined in the struggle, the Tushi royal family would likely increase their support to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, seizing the opportunity to suppress the Red Sand Sect, thus maintaining the balance of power within the country.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, don’t always fixate on me."
Gu Yuntao seemed to have perceived Qin Chenfeng’s thoughts, and said meaningfully,
"If that Fellow Daoist Yan further advances in strength, his cultivation will certainly far exceed that of ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivators."
"At that time, with regard to the current situation of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he could definitely provide significant assistance."
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have such confidence in this Fellow Daoist Yan?" Qin Chenfeng asked in surprise, curious.
"Naturally."
Gu Yuntao nodded without hesitation, "I introduced you to Fellow Daoist Yan precisely to rope him in."
"If he joins the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect, the chances of success will definitely increase considerably."
In fact, Gu Yuntao had one more thing he hadn’t expressed.
The last time they sparred, he felt that Yan Ruchen was still holding back, probably not using his full strength.
Based on this, he valued him greatly, unwilling to spare any effort, he wanted to bring him into the fold.
"For Yan Ruchen to be so valued by Gu Yuntao, I suppose I must find opportunities to befriend him more, and deepen our relationship." Qin Chenfeng thought to himself.
After all, if it was really as Gu Yuntao said, pulling him into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would be immensely beneficial.
...
In the days that followed.
Other disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect began doing business in Ancient Sand City, mainly selling materials and younglings of Demon Beasts.
Of course, the largest buyer was definitely Gu Yuntao, with some Golden Core powers purchasing as well.
As for Foundation Establishment powers, they could only receive some leftovers.
The elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Qin Chenfeng, would often chat idly with Xu Ping, incredibly amiable, as though they were old friends who had known each other for years.
He would also frequently mention various benefits of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, his words filled with admiration and an invitation towards Xu Ping.
Xu Ping was naturally eager for Qin Chenfeng’s enthusiasm.
He originally intended to establish good relations with the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
However, he speculated in his heart that Qin Chenfeng’s behavior might be related to Gu Yuntao.
However, regardless of the underlying reason, Xu Ping decided to go with the flow, to accept Qin Chenfeng’s goodwill readily, and to maintain close communication with him.
...
...
A month went by like a fleeting moment, vanishing quickly.
The goods brought by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were all sold, and they also purchased many puppets.
With the conclusion of the transactions, everyone from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect prepared for their return journey.
The massive spirit ship of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect appeared once again in the skies above Ancient Sand City, the enormous hull emanating mysterious and powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
Qin Chenfeng stood on the deck of the spirit ship, solemnly addressing Xu Ping, who had come to see them off:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, if one day you decide, the gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will always be open for you!"
"Absolutely."
Xu Ping returned the gesture with folded hands.
He certainly intended to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, just not at the present moment.
Only when he had the ability to secure his life under the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators would it be appropriate to involve himself in the disputes between the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Red Sand Sect.
After declining Xu Ping and Gu Yuntao’s offer to see him off, Qin Chenfeng turned to board the spirit ship.
