Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 559 - 283: Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Breaks Through to the Fifth Layer (Part 2)
Xu Ping tightly clenched his fist, feeling a formidable power surging within him, almost terrifyingly so.
With his current formidable physique, even standing still without moving, ordinary Artifact Embryos would hardly be able to harm him at all.
"If I can further enhance myself, I should be able to withstand impacts from ordinary artifacts without injury."
Xu Ping pondered to himself, "But taking this crucial step is bound to require considerable time."
"After all, breaking through from the fourth layer to the fifth layer of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill took over a decade."
"If I want to break through to the sixth layer, the time required might very well double."
"Perhaps I need to think of a way to speed up the cultivation of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill."
Xu Ping touched his chin, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Actually, the cultivation manual of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill did once record methods to enhance cultivation speed.
All that’s needed is to find the essence of a third-rank Profound Turtle. But crucially, it must be at least of third-rank Middle Grade or higher.
However, this caliber of Profound Turtle essence is extremely rare and scarce; he hasn’t seen it all these years anyway.
"Can the essence blood of other Demon Beasts replace Profound Turtle blood?" Xu Ping fell into contemplation, after much deep thought, he came to a conclusion.
It should be feasible!
However, the substitute Demon Beast essence blood must bear some similarity to the Profound Turtle blood.
In this way, even if the training speed brought by Profound Turtle blood cannot be achieved, perhaps it’s no problem to perform at sixty to seventy percent of its efficacy.
"In this view, perhaps the essence blood of the Water Lake Mouse is an extremely suitable choice!"
An idea flashed in Xu Ping’s mind, this thought instantly emerged.
The Profound Turtle is a Water Element Demon Beast, and originally, the Water Lake Mouse belongs to the Water Element Demon Beast too.
It’s just that this Water Lake Mouse mutated, becoming a water and fire dual-element Demon Beast.
Of course, this mutation is no big deal; the most crucial part is the lifeforce contained in the essence blood.
The Profound Turtle, known for longevity, its essence blood contains lifeforce rich enough to nearly become tangible.
If it were back in the days, the essence blood of the Water Lake Mouse would fall far short of the requirement.
But since the Water Lake Mouse swallowed a third-rank Upper Grade Demon Core and successfully broke through to the third-rank Upper Grade realm, the lifeforce in its body took a qualitative leap.
Nowadays, the lifeforce it contains is not only no less than that of a third-rank Profound Turtle, but in certain respects, it even shows signs of surpassing.
The more Xu Ping thought about it, the more he felt the essence blood of the Water Lake Mouse might just be the best substitute at present.
"Just imagining won’t help, why not try it myself!"
With this in mind, Xu Ping’s gaze penetrated the sturdy, thick walls of the chamber, directly falling upon the Water Lake Mouse afar, busy using Demonic Power to guide the Spiritual Spring water to irrigate the withered wood.
...
"Achoo!"
At this moment, the Water Lake Mouse, focused on using Demonic Power to guide the Spiritual Spring water to irrigate the withered wood, unexpectedly sneezed.
"What’s this?"
The sudden sneeze caused the Water Lake Mouse’s heart to tighten abruptly, an ill-omened premonition like dark clouds quickly loomed over its heart.
However, before it could react, a huge shadow enveloped it like clouds pressing down.
Instinctively, the Water Lake Mouse looked up, and the first thing it saw was the smiling face of its master Xu Ping.
Yet, in the Water Lake Mouse’s eyes, the master’s smile at this moment seemed to hide endless danger.
"It’s over!"
The heart of the Water Lake Mouse instantly skipped a beat.
Based on past experiences, it immediately understood that since the master came to find it, there is certainly no good news.
"Uh... Master, I just remembered, I actually forgot to train today."
"Therefore, I’ve decided to punish my laziness properly and must go into seclusion for two months to train!"
As it said so, it sneakily glanced at Xu Ping’s expression, slowly retreating while murmuring: "If there’s nothing, I’ll be leaving."
Without finishing the words, it already had its foot ready to escape.
"Wait!"
Xu Ping anticipated this and immediately called the Water Lake Mouse to stop.
The actions of the Water Lake Mouse to run away instantly froze, its body like being cast with Immovable Spell, unable to move.
The master’s orders were really not something it dared disobey, helplessly, it could only turn around slowly, showing a pitiful expression: "Master, is there something you need from Little Mouse?"
"Little Fritz, Little Fritz." Xu Ping’s smile grew even brighter.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Ping, satisfied, returned to the chamber with five or six drops of the Water Lake Mouse’s essence blood.
Upon entering the chamber, he couldn’t wait to start preparing for the experiment.
He first took out a small bottle of Lava Spirit Essence, then divided one-tenth of a drop of the Water Lake Mouse’s essence blood into it.
At the moment of contact between the Spiritual Liquid and the essence blood, a "sizzling" sound was produced, as if some kind of magical reaction occurred.
Xu Ping watched the changes before him with unwavering attention, seeing the color of the Spiritual Liquid gradually becoming deeper and more rich.
It also emitted an extremely tempting fragrance, which inexplicably stirred up his innermost devouring desire.
"Let’s begin!"
Xu Ping couldn’t resist swallowing his saliva, immediately swallowed the fused liquid down.
In an instant, a sensation even hotter, yet rich in lifeforce flooded his heart.
Xu Ping had no time to indulge in this feeling, immediately activated the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill to refine the fused liquid.
In a flash, he felt a wave of warmth spreading throughout his body, then a powerful force began impacting his meridians.
