Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 853 - 382: Soul-Breaking Needle

Subsequently, both parties discussed some details about the beast tide, giving Xu Ping a deeper understanding of the upcoming beast tide planned by the True Dragon Hall.

For the Demon Beasts, although it is fraught with danger, it also holds tremendous opportunities.

If one can perform outstandingly in this beast tide, not only can they gain a large amount of cultivation resources.

More importantly, they can leave an impression in front of the True Dragon Hall, laying a foundation for future development.

As the night deepened, their conversation drew to a close.

Jin Yuxuan rose to take his leave, while Xu Ping personally escorted him off Blood Bone Island.

...

"Xu Lang, were those visitors just now members of the Demon Race?"

After the figures of Jin Yuxuan and his companions completely vanished into the night sky, a graceful silhouette quietly appeared beside Xu Ping like an orchid in the dark.

The moonlight spilled over her, cloaking her in a silver veil, making her figure even more enchanting, like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace.

It was none other than Duan Shuang.

At this moment, an expression of curiosity was adorning her charming face.

Her perception was naturally keen, having long sensed the unusual aura emanating from the recent visitors.

"Yes."

Xu Ping nodded, gazing tenderly at the beauty before him, "They are from the Golden Spirit Mouse clan, led by their Clan Leader, Jin Yuxuan, who is a Tier Four Top-grade Demon Beast comparable to a Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator."

"A Tier Four Top-grade Great Demon Beast?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Shuang was instantly taken aback, her beautiful eyes widening in astonishment.

Though she had known the visitors to be extraordinary, she hadn’t expected their background to be so formidable.

A Tier Four Top-grade Great Demon Beast is a being that stands at the pinnacle of the food chain on the outer seas of the Wind Origin Realm, each possessing devastating power that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

Such an existence personally visiting was truly incredible.

"It was merely a stroke of luck."

Xu Ping smiled blandly, then, without any further ado, he scooped up Duan Shuang’s soft and boneless delicate body.

Feeling the fragrant warmth and the supple touch of the beauty in his arms, his mood instantly brightened.

"Come, let me see if your musical artistry has improved lately."

There was a palpable teasing tone in Xu Ping’s voice, and a gleam in his eyes that made Duan Shuang’s cheeks flush.

"Naughty!"

Xu Ping smiled blandly, and then, without any further ado, he scooped up Duan Shuang’s soft and boneless delicate body.

Feeling the fragrant warmth and the supple touch of the beauty in his arms, his mood instantly brightened.

"Haha..."

Xu Ping burst into laughter, holding Duan Shuang as they transformed into a stream of azure light, instantly disappearing into the elegance of Duan Shuang’s exquisite and tasteful abode.

A moment later, a melodious and lingering tune began to emanate from the dwelling.

The sound of the qin was at times as clear and pleasing as flowing water over high mountains.

At times as gentle and lingering as a gentle spring rain, and at other times as bold and exhilarating as stormy waves crashing upon the shore. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

No one knew how much time passed.

The tune finally came to an end.

Duan Shuang’s clothes were disheveled, her charming face flushed like the evening glow, her whole body going limp as though she had lost her bones in Xu Ping’s arms.

Her breathing was rapid and erratic, her chest rising and falling, clearly having just experienced an intensely passionate performance.

After fifteen minutes, Duan Shuang gradually emerged from that extreme bliss.

An enigmatic look lingered in her beautiful eyes as if she had just awoken from a beautiful dream, her whole being exuding a lazy, satisfied allure.

"Shuang’Er, your musical artistry has indeed improved."

Xu Ping’s tone held a noticeable teasing air.

Duan Shuang looked up to see Xu Ping’s handsome face with a half smile, and she couldn’t help but feel a wave of embarrassment wash over her, her pretty face blooming like a peach blossom.

However, she soon suppressed her shame.

"In other aspects, I’ve also made progress, Xu Lang...Would you like to try?"

Duan Shuang’s red lips parted slightly, her voice soft as silk, her gaze seductive, her whole being exuding an irresistible charm.

As she spoke, she slowly leaned down, her coquettishness enough to seduce one’s very soul.

"Oh?"

Xu Ping’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a wave of warmth envelop him...

....

An hour later, Xu Ping returned to Blood Bone Island feeling refreshed.

Returning to the underground cave, Xu Ping spent several days slowly digesting the gains from this dual cultivation.

"Phew—"

Xu Ping opened his eyes, exhaling a long sigh of relief.

He could distinctly feel a subtle growth in his Divine Sense.

Though the increase was not extensive, the accumulation of small gains over time proved to be quite significant in effect.

Subsequently, Xu Ping took out the precious jade slip recording the method for creating the Soul-Breaking Needle from his Storage Ring and began to carefully study it.

With the continuous advancement of his Divine Sense, he felt himself drawing ever closer to successfully crafting the Soul-Breaking Needle.

As time flew by, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the deepest chamber of the underground cave of the Blood Bone Hall, the temperature was scorching enough to melt refined gold.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged before the furnace, his expression gravely serious.

His forehead was beaded with fine sweat, yet his gaze was sharp as a hawk, fixed intently on the core of the furnace.

Immediately, Xu Ping’s vast and majestic Power of Divine Sense, like the most precise chisel, carefully molded the last strands of meticulously refined liquid soul gold into two filament-like, nearly transparent needle-shaped embryos.

"With soul fire as my guide, breaking illusion as my edge, condense!" Xu Ping bit his tongue sharply.

One mouthful of vital essence mixed with the power of his life soul transformed into two blood arrows gleaming with dazzling golden light, fiercely spraying onto the two needle embryos.
