Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 563 - 284: Wind Night Sword Technique Perfection (Part 3)
It would be better to take this opportunity to kill him once and for all.
Moreover, with his means, even if the Seed Puppet Sect were to come out in full force, they would definitely not detect anything unusual about him.
After all, no one would suspect someone who has quietly practiced alchemy at the Purple Mountain Association for twenty years, working diligently as a Foundation Establishment consecrator.
Xu Ping calmly tidied up the room, erasing all traces that might expose him, then quietly left the place without alarming anyone.
"Hundred Bamboo City is hosting a large-scale auction, might as well go join the excitement, maybe I’ll come across something good."
"After all these years, the influence of slaying Yang Lang should have almost disappeared."
...
...
A month and a half later.
Hundred Bamboo City, this giant city that stands amidst a series of mountain ranges, is like a giant beast that has awakened from slumber, exuding a unique sense of majesty and depth.
Although there was still some time before the much-anticipated auction officially began, the city was already bustling like a boiling pot of oil.
The streets and alleys were crowded with people, bustling with activity.
The air was filled with excitement and anticipation, attracting cultivators from all directions with various purposes.
In a seemingly ordinary inn room, Hongyi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly:
"Nine Nether Elder, although this auction in Hundred Bamboo City is selling a near Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood."
"But as soon as the news spread, it instantly attracted the attention of countless cultivators. By the time of the auction, the rivals participating will surely be countless. It will be extremely difficult for us to win it smoothly."
Although a near Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood isn’t worth risking everything over for Nascent Soul cultivators,
it is a coveted treasure for late-stage Golden Core and Golden Core Perfection cultivators, its preciousness is self-evident.
"What’s there to be afraid of? Whoever dares to covet this Soul Nourishing Wood, just kill them directly."
Before the voice had fallen, an illusory and shadowy figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, it was none other than Nine Nether Elder.
He spoke coldly, his tone full of disdain.
At this moment, Nine Nether Elder’s Divine Soul was more substantial than before, emitting a chilling and piercing aura.
The aura seemed to carry a chill from the Nine Nether Underworld, naturally exuding a dignified and terrifying presence.
"But those daring to auction the near Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood are probably all powerful individuals."
"In this Wind Country, there are a few indeed difficult to deal with." Hongyi frowned slightly, continuing.
If it were in the past, hearing such arrogant remarks from Nine Nether Elder, he would surely be shocked and uneasy.
But after spending time together, he had grown accustomed to it.
"That’s because you’re too weak."
Upon hearing this, Nine Nether Elder’s tone suddenly turned cold, scolding without mercy,
"With me assisting you, you still can’t handle even a Nascent Soul cultivator, it’s truly a disgrace to me."
"I..."
Hongyi was momentarily speechless, opening his mouth but not knowing how to retort.
Was a Nascent Soul cultivator so easy to deal with?
As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, even being able to exchange a few blows with a Nascent Soul cultivator would be considered a prodigious talent in the eyes of others.
To truly match a Nascent Soul cultivator, what sort of extraordinary person would that have to be?
However, he knew in his heart that Nine Nether Elder was by no means an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
From their time together, he sensed that Nine Nether Elder was at least a late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator, possibly even Nascent Soul Perfection. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Compared to him, the difference was like heaven and earth.
...
At the same time.
In the distant sky, a luxuriously styled spiritual boat sped toward Hundred Bamboo City like a brilliant meteor, leaving a long trail of light.
The spiritual boat radiated a mysterious glow, shining brightly under the sunlight, attracting many mundane onlookers below, who exclaimed in wonder.
Gu Yuntao sat quietly at the back of the spiritual boat, his gaze fixed intensely on the Hundred Bamboo City, which was gradually enlarging in his sight, his eyes burning with fiery anticipation.
"After so many years, the near Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood has finally reappeared, no matter what the cost, I must acquire it!"
"Anyone who dares to stand in my way and attempt to seize this Soul Nourishing Wood will meet a dead end!"
Suddenly, his eyes turned exceedingly fierce, like two unsheathed blades, radiating a cold light.
A strong and almost tangible killing intent, like surging tides, spread from him, enveloping a small patch of the surrounding space.
This near Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood is crucial to him, concerning the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect, and must not be compromised.
...
...
A few days later, an Escape Light streaked across the sky like a meteor, directly landing in the bustling Hundred Bamboo City.
As the Escape Light gradually dissipated, it revealed the figure of a burly man with a hideous and terrifying appearance.
This burly man was of course Xu Ping in disguise.
"Quite lively."
Xu Ping squinted slightly, observing the bustling streets, teeming with people, lively as ever.
He quickly glanced around, his figure flickering like a phantom, effortlessly blending into the crowd like a drop of water into the sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
There were still half a month left before the auction started, and Xu Ping already had a plan in mind.
He decided to search for a Third Rank longevity item, sword technique, and lava spiritual essence during this time.
The large-scale auction in Hundred Bamboo City is held only once every ten years, during which many merchants will take out their treasured collections to attract guests from all over.
Perhaps, he could discover something good.
...
Ten days later.
The burly figure transformed by Xu Ping strode steadily out of a luxurious shop.
"Good luck."
Xu Ping’s eyes sparkled with undisguised joy, in a very good mood.
