Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 742 - 345: Accelerating Withered Wood Growth; Celestial Alchemist’s Visit (2)
In the underground cave dwelling of Cyan Cloud Peak, Xu Ping took out a purple jade bottle, in which five-colored Spiritual Liquid flowed with brilliance.
"In the Heart Demon world, this liquid indeed works wonders when poured on Five Element Soil. Although reality might not be as exaggerated as the fantasy realm, it should still offer some benefits."
Thinking of this, Xu Ping stepped to the front of the Profound Celestial Embryo.
He poured the five-colored Spiritual Liquid on the Five Element Soil, the liquid seeped in slowly as if it had a mind of its own, without a single drop wasted.
The surface of the Five Element Soil rippled slightly as the Spiritual Liquid was quickly absorbed, leaving no trace behind.
As the Spiritual Liquid was absorbed, tiny five-colored lights appeared on the surface of the Five Element Soil, forming a mysterious pattern that disappeared in an instant.
Xu Ping raised an eyebrow, his Divine Sense surrounded the entire Profound Celestial Embryo like a tide, carefully sensing the most subtle changes within.
"Not bad, although it doesn’t have the exaggerated effect of the Heart Demon Tribulation, it does enhance the quality of the Five Element Soil."
After a moment, Xu Ping nodded slowly, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
The five-colored Spiritual Liquid indeed improved the quality of the Five Element Soil, making its spirituality more active and vitality more abundant.
Such an enhancement was so subtle that it would be almost impossible to detect without Xu Ping’s nearly abnormal intensity in Divine Sense as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
However, the path of cultivation is inherently a process of accumulating sands into towers, gathering waters into seas.
"Over time, accumulation into abundance, its utility will surely be significant."
Xu Ping’s thoughts flowed, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Then, he took out several bottles of five-colored Spiritual Liquid and instructed the Lake Water Rat to water regularly.
"Rest assured, Master." The Lake Water Rat patted its chest and promised.
Now, it takes care of the Profound Celestial Embryo with utmost dedication. After all, the benefits from six months ago are still fresh in its memory.
That resonance with the Dao of Heaven and Earth not only greatly enhanced the quality of its Demon Core but also gave it hope for advancing to a Fourth-rank Upper Grade magical creature.
Such a heaven-sent opportunity, the Lake Water Rat naturally didn’t want to miss, hence the meticulous care of the Profound Celestial Embryo.
"Hmm!"
Xu Ping nodded slightly, quite pleased with the Lake Water Rat’s attitude but did not say more.
The Lake Water Rat has accompanied him for many years and is loyal without doubt, so these matters can be entrusted with confidence.
With the matter of the five-colored Spiritual Liquid concluded, Xu Ping’s thoughts had already shifted to the next plan.
He turned his gaze to the other corner of the secret chamber, where the Flame Prison Purple Wood, which he spent over seven hundred years of lifespan hastening to mature to the ten-thousand-year level, was stored.
The Sword Array refined from ten-thousand-year Flame Prison Purple Wood, its might is not comparable to ordinary Sword Arrays.
If successful, it would surely become one of his trump cards.
At this thought, Xu Ping couldn’t help but feel a touch of fervor.
However, refining a Sword Array of this level is extremely challenging.
It requires exquisite Artifact Refining skills, and one must personally refine it with the Nascent Soul Stage’s infant fire to align the Sword Array with one’s own will and unleash maximum power.
"This must not be rushed."
Xu Ping pondered, "I need to plan carefully, prepare all the materials, and then make a decisive move."
As Xu Ping was contemplating, a slight disturbance was heard from above.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he found a Sound Transmission Talisman flying in from the secret chamber’s entrance.
Xu Ping stretched out his hand, and the Sound Transmission Talisman obediently landed in his palm.
He probed with his Divine Sense, and Xie Lu’s voice immediately rang in his mind:
"Yan True Monarch, the Celestial Alchemist from the Pill City Alliance has come to visit."
"Celestial Alchemist?"
Xu Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise and thought flashing in his eyes.
This Celestial Alchemist greatly aided his breakthrough to Nascent Soul. Not to mention the Nascent Soul Pill.
If it weren’t for the Heart Refining Skill given to him, his chance of overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation would not be high.
Of course, he also promised to help the other party twice.
With his current strength, the Celestial Alchemist would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
...
In the grand hall of Cyan Cloud Peak, it was resplendent with gold and jade, permeated with Spiritual Qi.
An ancient elder in a plain white robe and wearing a traditional hair crown sat at the side of the main seat.
He was none other than the Celestial Alchemist.
At the other side of the hall, Xu Ping was personally brewing tea.
"Friend Yan, congratulations on breaking through to Nascent Soul, truly a cause for celebration." The Celestial Alchemist smiled, eyes filled with a comforting glance.
He was naturally pleased with Xu Ping’s breakthrough, after all, he had invested quite a bit.
Xu Ping pushed the tea cup towards the Celestial Alchemist, humbly saying, "If it weren’t for the Celestial Alchemist’s assistance, when could I have achieved this? I feel truly humbled."
"Friend Yan’s talent is extraordinary, I merely played a minor role."
The Celestial Alchemist chuckled, lifting the tea cup, taking a light sip, then praising, "Excellent tea! Its aroma is rich and lasting."
"Getting to see the Celestial Alchemist today is certainly worthy of taking out good tea." Xu Ping smiled.
Then the two began to speak freely.
They discussed Taoist methods and occasionally talked about strange news and events in the world, making for a pleasant time.
Unknowingly, half an hour had passed.
The Celestial Alchemist put down the tea cup and took out an exquisitely crafted jade box from his sleeve, offering it with both hands:
"Friend, in celebration of your advancement to Nascent Soul, I have prepared a token gift, though it might not be worthy."
Xu Ping’s heart stirred slightly, reaching out to take the jade box.
Xu Ping took the jade box, gently probing with his Divine Sense, his heart shook.
He gently probed with his Divine Sense, instantly shaken, unable to disguise the shock in his eyes.
Lying quietly in the jade box was a pill, approximately the size of a longan, emitting a charming amber glow, and inside seemed to have fluid swirling, exuding a soul-refreshing fragrance.
This was actually a Tier Four Longevity Pill!!
Smelling the pill’s fragrance, Xu Ping’s breath slightly paused, his Mana involuntarily began to stir restlessly.
Such a pill, even for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, is an extremely precious treasure.
