Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 815 - 369: Bountiful Spoils of War (2)

The long-lost feeling of freely controlling mana once again filled his limbs and bones.

The exhausted divine sense also became instantly clear.

"Fellow Daoist Xu... words cannot express my gratitude for your great kindness!"

Duan Shuang suppressed the tumultuous shock and gratitude in her heart and solemnly bowed deeply to Xu Ping.

The Blood Bone Master, a fearsome demon at the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul, was actually slain by Fellow Daoist Xu...?!

Over the years, just how far has Fellow Daoist Xu progressed.

Xu Ping extended his hand in a virtual扶 gesture, a gentle yet irresistible force lifted her up, smiling, "We are old friends who entrust each other with life and death; no thanks are needed."

His words carried a sincerity and composure that sent a warm current through Duan Shuang’s heart.

Suddenly, Duan Shuang seemed to recall something, her expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, though the Blood Bone Old Demon is dead, he had a patron. We must leave this place immediately, or unforeseen changes may occur."

"A patron?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s face showed not the slightest trace of fear. Instead, he displayed a faint smile of having everything under control, "Fellow Daoist Duan need not worry. I am already aware of this matter."

"I am also confident in dealing with the Blood Bone Master’s backer."

Duan Shuang instinctively wanted to say more, but remembering that Xu Ping is never one to speak lightly.

Moreover, his ability to slay the Blood Bone Master, a Nascent Soul early-stage peak cultivator, was proof of his power.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xu says so, how can I not trust him?"

The worry in Duan Shuang’s heart gradually dissipated, and a bright smile reappeared on her delicate face.

As the two conversed, a purple-blue escape light flew in from the distance, it was Waterlake Rat.

It reverted to human size, but the pressure it emitted as a fourth-rank middle-grade was not to be underestimated.

"Master, the little rat has already subdued all the cultivators on Blood Bone Island." Waterlake Rat approached Xu Ping with a flattering smile.

"Waterlake Rat?"

Seeing this familiar figure, a hint of surprise flashed in Duan Shuang’s beautiful eyes.

Although Waterlake Rat had undergone significant changes compared to before, she recognized it at a glance as Xu Ping’s spirit pet.

What astonished her even more was the terrifying pressure emitting from Waterlake Rat, which was even more intense than the Blood Bone Master.

Considering that the Blood Bone Master was already a cultivator at the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul, then Waterlake Rat must have reached the fourth rank middle grade?

Duan Shuang felt that she had been so shocked by Xu Ping today that she was somewhat numb.

First, Xu Ping was able to slay the Blood Bone Master and now even his spirit pet had such terrifying strength, it was no wonder Xu Ping was so confident when facing the Blood Bone Master’s patron.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping nodded slightly, "Select those among them who are deeply sinful and release the rest of the cultivators."

He was not a person who reveled in killing, and he certainly wouldn’t commit indiscriminate slaughter for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Yes."

Waterlake Rat nodded in response.

Although the divine sense of demon beasts is slightly weaker than that of cultivators of the same rank, distinguishing between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators is still achievable.

Xu Ping withdrew his gaze and turned to his side.

Duan Shuang stood quietly in a simple and elegant white dress, her face still bearing a semblance of the pallor from recent recovery, but her aura had stabilized considerably from the weakness of a month prior.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, your mana and divine sense have only just begun to recover, your foundation is still unstable. It’s not advisable to over-exhaust yourself."

Xu Ping’s tone grew slightly gentle, "There are many caves on the island, and the spiritual Qi is adequate. Fellow Daoist, why not choose a quiet spot to adjust your breath and nurture yourself to avoid leaving any wounds on your path, which might harm your future cultivation journey."

"I understand." Duan Shuang respectfully returned the courtesy.

Having been imprisoned for so long, her divine sense and mana had both suffered to some extent, requiring some time to recuperate.

With Blood Bone Island completely subdued by Xu Ping, all the caves were vacated.

Hence, Duan Shuang selected a nearly fourth-rank cave to enter closed-door meditation and recuperate.

As for Xu Ping, he still had matters to attend to.

He intended to turn Blood Bone Island into his stronghold, so naturally, he had to rearrange the entire island’s array.

...

A month later.

The entire Blood Bone Island had taken on a completely new look, the traces of previous battles had all disappeared, and the array was also newly arranged.

Having completed all of this, Xu Ping finally had time to inspect his spoils of war.

Blood Bone Hall.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on a stone bed, with a flip of his palm, a blood-red storage ring appeared in his hand.

After easily breaking the restriction on it, Xu Ping’s divine sense probed inside.

As his divine sense reached within, a scene of glittering treasures and overflowing spirit was reflected in his "eyes."

Spirit stones, talismans, cultivation techniques, these miscellaneous items were not worth mentioning....

Just the two spirit treasures alone made his eyes shine.

One was an offensive spirit treasure, with a body flowing with sharp edges, and the other was a defensive spirit treasure, whose treasure light was restrained, thick and heavy.

The two spirit treasures, one offense and one defense, were both of excellent quality and of extraordinary power.

Moreover, the storage ring also contained materials from a large number of fourth-rank demon beasts, including fur, bones, and horns, enough for him to refine a fourth rank puppet.

"Not bad, not bad, truly a wealth of resources!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Such a bountiful harvest caused a satisfied arc to form on Xu Ping’s lips.

The Blood Bone Master had occupied the seas for many years, plundering countless times. His accumulated wealth was enough to match the combined total of two early-stage Nascent Soul peak cultivators in the Nanchuan Realm.

Just these two spirit treasures, with combined offensive and defensive abilities, and the fourth rank puppet materials were worth a fortune.

After tidying up the various items, Xu Ping’s divine sense suddenly lingered on a few things in the corner of the storage ring.

A completely black bone fragment emitting a faint chill, its purpose unknown, was temporarily set aside.

Several jade slips marked with the hidden sea routes and resource points of the outer seas, valuable, kept safely.

Lastly, an azure jade slip with a warm luster quietly hovered in a corner, distinctly out of place amidst the surrounding bloody evil items.
