Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 838 - 377: Renown Spreads Far and Wide; Gathering Ten Fourth Rank Puppets

Chapter 838: Chapter 377: Renown Spreads Far and Wide; Gathering Ten Fourth Rank Puppets

Xu Ping’s figure flickered and he had already returned to Blood Bone Island.

"Master’s divine might..."

The Water Lake Rat hurried forward with a sway of its tail.

It presented a dusty Storage Ring and a Treasure Bead emanating a hazy blue light, as if offering a treasure.

"These are the remnants of the intruder."

"Master, look, this bead is peculiar. That guy hid so deeply, he must’ve relied on it!" The Water Lake Rat proclaimed proudly.

Xu Ping took the blue bead.

The bead was about the size of a dragon’s eye, perfectly round, with a deep hue like the sea, seemingly containing a misty haze.

A strange fluctuation of space and concealed Daoist rhyme flowed out from within the bead.

"Interesting."

An unusual light flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

An unusual light flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes. With his knowledge and experience, he immediately judged this bead as far from ordinary.

To allow an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to infiltrate Blood Bone Island under his nose without detection — the value of such a treasure was unimaginable.

At that moment, a cold yet grateful divine sense transmission came from Duan Shuang’s seclusion chamber:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this time... thank you for your protection."

Evidently, despite being in a crucial moment to stabilize her cultivation base, she still sensed the shocking changes outside.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, just focus on consolidating, these insignificant clowns are not worth mentioning." Xu Ping responded calmly, his tone serene.

He instructed the Water Lake Rat to remain vigilant in guarding, then his figure disappeared deep into the underground cave mansion beneath Blood Bone Hall.

Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Platform, Xu Ping placed the blue bead in his palm.

Grayish-white light flowed from his fingertips, and the divine sense imprint belonging to that young cultivator quickly dissolved and disintegrated in the face of Xu Ping’s formidable divine sense.

Within moments, the imprint was completely removed.

Xu Ping separated a strand of pure divine sense, effortlessly planting his own imprint.

Buzz!

As the imprint was completed, a surge of massive information flooded into Xu Ping’s Sea of Consciousness from the blue bead!

Thousand Illusion Concealing Pearl!

This bead is an ancient exotic treasure, neither gold nor jade, refined using the elusive Qi of the void and the dazzling light of stars, containing two great heaven-defying divine techniques.

Thousand Illusion: Allows one to freely alter their appearance, posture, and aura fluctuations, simulating anything, vividly and realistically.

It not only changes appearance but can also simulate the features of others’ cultivation techniques and spiritual power fluctuations. Only those whose divine sense far exceeds the practitioner and are skilled in the art of insight can detect it.

Concealment: Perfectly restrains one’s aura, spiritual power fluctuations, and life signs, merging into the environment.

The effects of concealment are unparalleled at the same rank, also difficult to detect.

"What a treasure!"

Xu Ping’s eyes lit up instantly, filled with immense joy.

The effects of this bead are truly heaven-defying.

His divine sense is already formidable, far surpassing those of the same rank, and with the aid of the bead’s "Thousand Illusion" and "Concealment" abilities... even an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not discover him.

"With this bead in hand, the vast world — where can’t I go?" Xu Ping toyed with the warm Treasure Bead, his eyes sparkling.

Many matters he previously dared not plan due to fear of identity exposure might now be worth attempting.

For example, deeply engaging in the disputes of the Golden Spirit Mouse tribe and other Demon races, acquiring more Fourth Rank Demon Beast materials.

Moreover, should the opportunity arise, he might even infiltrate the Inner Sea governed by the Star Palace and the mainland’s hinterlands.

In places where spiritual qi is denser and resources are more abundant, the certainty of breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul would greatly increase.

Thinking of this, a sense of anticipation flickered in Xu Ping’s heart.

...

After playing for a long time, Xu Ping carefully placed the Treasure Bead into the deepest part of the Storage Ring.

He then turned his gaze to the Storage Ring obtained from the young cultivator.

Divine sense probed into it, and after a thorough search, the harvest was quite ordinary, belonging to the normal level of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

While Xu Ping was exploring his spoils.

The three elders of the Harmony gathered on a deserted island.

"Hmph, old ghost of Harmony, the enemy you provoked!"

The Isle Master of Ten Thousand Poisons finally could not hold back, speaking with undisguised resentment.

That Xu Ping... merely early-stage Nascent Soul.

The power of his sword array was terrifyingly strong, withstanding their joint effort without defeat.

And that Rat Demon could detect the Thousand Illusion Concealing Pearl and kill the Shadow Demon; its strength was also not to be underestimated.

Yet, before they acted, they knew nothing of all this.

It was natural to blame the old ghost of Harmony.

"Enough!"

The old ghost’s face turned utterly dark.

Xu Ping’s strength exceeded his expectations, and not capturing Duan Shuang had already infuriated him to the extreme.

"Gentlemen."

The silent Xuanyin Island Master spoke coldly, eyes sharp as knives, "The urgent task is to figure out how to cope."

"That Xu Ping, with such battle power in early-stage Nascent Soul, if given time, breaks through to mid-stage Nascent Soul."

"By then, with his sword array’s might, assisted by that elusive demon rat and possibly other trump cards... the three of us might truly face the danger of falling."

With these words, the old ghost of Harmony and the Isle Master of Ten Thousand Poisons felt a chill at heart.

The Xuanyin Island Master was not exaggerating. Xu Ping possessing such strength in early-stage Nascent Soul; once he breaks through to mid-stage, his combat power would certainly elevate.

After a moment of silence, a gleam flashed in the Xuanyin Island Master’s eyes, she said slowly:

"Given the current situation... the only option is to seek shelter with Xuanmo True Monarch, ensuring our comprehensive protection, and even... countermeasures!"

"Xuanmo True Monarch?"

The old ghost of Harmony frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Xuanmo True Monarch is undoubtedly the premier figure in the Outer Sea’s demonic path.

Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Even among the same rank, he is regarded as a top existence with overwhelming combat power.

Feared by many, his demonic might is unmatched.

Though relying on Xuanmo True Monarch means losing a considerable degree of autonomy, even possibly becoming cannon fodder.

But... the benefits are also obvious.
