Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 438 - 250: Half-Step Spirit Treasure (3)

Time flew by, and another ten days had passed.

"Finally, only the last one remains!"

Xu Ping’s face appeared somewhat solemn, but there was a sliver of excitement in his words, indicating the impending achievement of a major success.

As he spoke, with a light flip of his hand, an emerald crystal emitting the essence of Yi Wood appeared in his palm.

The heart of the Qingwu Wood, a rare spiritual material that can enhance the power of wood-type magical treasures!

If it is integrated into the Flame Prison Purple Wood of millennia, to what level can his lifebound magical treasure reach?

Xu Ping was full of anticipation for this!

He inserted the heart of the Qingwu Wood into the pill fire, then controlled the fire to slowly melt it into a crystalline, nectar-like liquid.

"Merge!"

Xu Ping carefully controlled the crystalline liquid, integrating it into the sword embryo.

As the liquid of the Qingwu Wood heart gradually merged into the sword embryo, the entire sword embryo suddenly burst into a dazzling light, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The light illuminated the entire secret chamber, and the roar seemed to break through the constraints of the cave mansion.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’s expression grew more solemn, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Buzz!

As the last bit of Qingwu Wood heart merged into the sword embryo, at that moment, the sword embryo seemed to gain life, trembling violently and releasing powerful waves of spiritual power.

"Solidify!"

Xu Ping formed the final consolidation Dharma Seal with both hands, infusing the entirety of his mana into the sword embryo without reservation.

Nourished by mana, the light from the sword embryo grew more radiant, and the sword’s form continually transformed.

The next instant!

An illustriously radiant red wooden sword hovered quietly in the center of the secret chamber.

The wooden sword was long and slender, entirely blood red, with mysterious runes and spiritual aura flowing on its surface.

"Canghua Divine Wood Sword, finally accomplished!"

Xu Ping could no longer suppress the surging excitement within, unable to resist bursting into loud laughter.

After expending so much time, resources, and effort, he finally managed to forge his lifebound magical treasure!!

"Come!"

With a thought, Xu Ping summoned the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, which transformed into a stream of light and fell into his hand.

Buzz!

At this moment, the sword trembled slightly, seemingly conveying its joy and happiness to Xu Ping.

"This... does the Canghua Divine Wood Sword have an artifact spirit?"

Xu Ping tightly grasped the sword hilt, clearly sensing the faint aura of an artifact spirit within the sword, and was shocked.

Although the artifact spirit within the sword was very weak, as if a mere breeze could extinguish it, it was undeniably present.

It’s important to know that even the finest top-grade magical treasures haven’t reached the point of birthing an artifact spirit.

Only treasures at the level of spirit treasures can birth a faint sense of intelligence!

"Did the Canghua Divine Wood Sword reach the spirit treasure level?" Xu Ping was instantly overwhelmed with joy and euphoria surged in his heart.

Such a treasure thoroughly belongs at the Nascent Soul level.

However, upon careful inspection, Xu Ping found that the Canghua Divine Wood Sword hadn’t actually reached the level of a spirit treasure.

First is the artifact spirit within the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, which is too weak, clearly not having reached the spirit treasure level.

Secondly, the power of this sword.

Xu Ping tried it briefly, finding that though the Canghua Divine Wood Sword surpassed top-grade magical treasures by a wide margin, it was still somewhat lacking compared to the Nascent Soul level.

Its performance was rather similar to the incomplete upper-grade exotic treasure previously wielded by Hongyi.

"So, is this Canghua Divine Wood Sword like a half-step spirit treasure?" Xu Ping stroked his chin in contemplation.

In truth, this is also good.

After all, if the Canghua Divine Wood Sword had truly reached the level of a spirit treasure and became his lifebound spirit treasure, with his current cultivation level, he would find it extraordinarily difficult to wield and control.

Being at a half-step spirit treasure level, he should still be able to barely perform one or two sword strikes.

According to Xu Ping’s estimation.

If he delivers a full-force sword strike, combined with the enhancement of the sword light turning into a rainbow, the power it could unleash should match the strike Hongyi used that disabled the upper-grade magical treasure to slay the Golden Core Perfection demon beast at that time.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Thinking of this, the joy in Xu Ping’s heart became more intense.

With such a trump card, facing ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivators, he was confident that he could deal significant damage to them with this sword, and perhaps even slay them.

However, if faced with someone like Hongyi, wielding a damaged upper-grade magical treasure in the Golden Core late or Perfection stage, he estimated he’d still struggle.

After all, the opponent’s depth of mana and its duration far surpassed his.

Beside himself with excitement, Xu Ping played with the Canghua Divine Wood Sword a bit more.

He carefully felt the slight tremor coming from the sword, as if it was sharing this joy with him, and they understood each other’s intentions.

Then, he moved with intention, opening his mouth, and placed the Canghua Divine Wood Sword into his Dantian to let it be nourished by his own mana.

He had toiled for several months to forge the Canghua Divine Wood Sword.

During this time, he exerted the pill fire to its limits, and even with his current Core Formation Stage cultivation level, he felt utterly exhausted.

At this moment, the overwhelming joy gradually subsided, and a deep fatigue, like a tide, surged unstoppably into his heart.

After casting a cleansing spell to clean his body, Xu Ping collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

...

This sleep lasted for five whole days. Until the fifth day, Xu Ping awoke, feeling refreshed.

He stretched lazily, and casually walked out of the cave mansion with a sense of contentment.

The sunlight fell upon him, dispelling the fatigue accumulated from days of closed-door treasure refining.

"Hiss hiss!"

A familiar sound emerged, and Xu Ping saw the Spirit Worm crawl over excitedly, affectionately brushing against his pant leg with its head.

"Awake?"

Surprised, Xu Ping originally thought the Spirit Worm was still asleep.

Immediately, he observed the Spirit Worm with interest.

At this moment, the Spirit Worm’s size was noticeably larger than before, and its aura had reached the level of Second-stage Upper Grade!

"Not bad, not bad!" Xu Ping, filled with joy, gently patted the smooth head of the Spirit Worm.

It seems the peculiar flower stamen indeed had a significant effect on the demon beast.

Throughout Yue Country, Spirit Worms reaching the Second-stage Upper Grade level are extremely rare and scarce.

Moreover, the Spirit Worm’s ability to enhance the Spirit Vein increases significantly as its own grade improves.

If this Second-stage Upper Grade Spirit Worm was placed in the Thousand Leaves Mountain, relying on the Spirit Worm’s abilities, it might not take long to elevate the Spirit Vein of Thousand Leaves Mountain to a Third-rank Spirit Vein.

Even, given sufficient time, if hundreds of years were spent, it might not be entirely impossible to elevate the Spirit Vein of Thousand Leaves Mountain to a Third-rank Upper Grade.
