Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 607 - 299: Sword Array Enhancement (2)

Water droplets enter the sword, like sweet rain nourishing the parched earth.

The initially restless magical sword gradually calmed down, and the chaotic spirit patterns on the sword began to rearrange, orderly absorbing the essence of the Spirit Pattern Divine Wood Sand. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Time flowed by, and it was unclear how long had passed, with only the faint sound of the magical sword absorbing spiritual power left in the cave.

Finally, the last particle of Spirit Pattern Divine Wood Sand was completely integrated.

At this moment, the seventy-two emerald magical swords were completely transformed, the sword bodies emitting a dazzling green glow, as if sculpted from jade.

Intricate and exquisite wood element spirit patterns intertwined into magnificent designs, with spiritual power fluctuations gentle as a spring breeze yet hiding a sharpness that was unstoppable.

"Finally... it is done!"

Sensing the sharp aura emanating from the magical sword, Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with delight, and his lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upward.

After more than a month of labor, all the magical swords had finally transformed into truly top-tier magical treasures!

Xu Ping forcibly suppressed the waves of excitement in his heart, and his hands swiftly formed a complex spell.

With the completion of his gestures, the smoldering blue flames were seemingly commanded, instantly retracting, fading into starlight and vanishing without a trace.

At that moment, the seventy-two magical swords emitted a sharp yet melodious sword cry, like the roar of dragons and tigers, shaking the soul.

Accompanied by this soul-stirring sword cry, dazzling green light erupted from the magical swords, resonating and reflecting upon each other.

In just a moment, the seventy-two magical swords gathered above Xu Ping’s head, forming a gigantic and magnificent green light sword array.

The center of the sword array seemed to contain a miniature verdant forest, full of vitality yet brimming with murderous intent.

At the moment the sword array took shape, an extremely sharp Sword Qi swept through the entire cave with the momentum of a mountain-breaking wave.

This Sword Qi was unstoppable, causing even the hard-as-iron spirit crystals on the cave walls to tremble slightly, their light flickering uncertainly, seemingly submitting to this powerful force.

"Not bad, not bad."

Xu Ping carefully sensed the power of the sword array, his smile growing more radiant.

He could clearly perceive that the power of this sword array had radically transformed compared to before.

Now, the attack strength of this sword array had already reached the threshold of an Early-Stage Nascent Soul level, comparable to Gu Yuntao’s strength, and in some aspects, even surpassed it.

"With the sword array fully formed, combined with my defense, the pure strength should have reached the Nascent Soul threshold."

Xu Ping nodded in satisfaction, feeling a clear understanding of his own strength.

Nonetheless, he did not rest content but sank into deeper contemplation.

"Now, who is stronger between Gu Yuntao and me?"

After a calm analysis, Xu Ping concluded: he should have a slight edge.

After all, the attack methods Gu Yuntao displayed when previously confronting True Monarch Wan Chun did not pose a substantial threat to him.

Moreover, his newly refined sword array, with its powerful Sword Qi, could indeed threaten Gu Yuntao.

However, it would still be incredibly difficult to kill Gu Yuntao.

After all, Gu Yuntao’s escape techniques, being a Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator, were unmatched.

"Once Gu Yuntao assists in completing the crafting of the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet, I can proceed to contact the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."

Xu Ping silently pondered his subsequent plans.

In recent years, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons had faced increasingly difficult survival conditions under the strong oppression from the Red Sand Sect.

If he chooses to join the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, with the strength he has shown and his defense comparable to a Nascent Soul, he will certainly attract the attention of Nascent Soul cultivators within the Valley.

In this way, his plan to seek the fourth rank transformation of the Water Lake Mouse could indeed hold considerable promise.

Although this means he will be embroiled in the open and covert struggles between the two Nascent Soul sects, with his current strength and defense, he should be able to protect himself adequately.

Moreover, once the crafting of the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet is completed and enhanced with the original Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman, its power will certainly reach the threshold of Early-Stage Nascent Soul.

By then, his strength should increase significantly again.

"Now it’s just a matter of waiting for Gu Yuntao to help craft the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet!"

Xu Ping whispered to himself, his eyes flickering with anticipation.

Calculating the days, Gu Yuntao’s injuries should have mostly healed by now.

...

Half a month later.

Xu Ping was invited to a secret chamber.

The chamber was located in an extremely hidden place, surrounded by layers of arrays, with dense Spiritual Qi circulating within, forming an invisible protective membrane that isolated interference from the outside world.

"Friend Gu."

Xu Ping stepped into the chamber, his gaze falling on the familiar figure in the center.

"Friend Yan has arrived."

Gu Yuntao smiled slightly, with a touch of familiarity in his expression, "My injuries have healed, and we can now begin crafting the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet."

"Then much thanks to Friend Gu."

Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with joy as he bowed in gratitude.

"Do not rush to thank me, friend Yan, crafting a Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet requires much effort."

"You must stay here and assist me diligently!" Gu Yuntao quipped with a teasing tone.

"Feel free to command me, Friend Gu, Xu Ping will have no complaints."

Xu Ping replied with a smile, fully aware.

He understood that although Gu Yuntao spoke of commanding him, he was actually indirectly guiding him in puppetry.

To learn beside someone like Gu Yuntao, a near grandmaster in puppetry, would be a dream for any Third Rank Puppet Master.

"Then let’s begin." Gu Yuntao’s expression suddenly became solemn.

With a wave of his hands, all the materials needed for puppet crafting appeared before them.
