Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 759 - 350: Harvest; Dragon Blood Fruit

As the sword light pierced through the water wall, Xu Ping already sensed the opponent’s impending escape.

However, he did not relax at all, and his Divine Sense spread out like a web, instantly covering all directions.

Enveloping the sea area within dozens of miles, searching for any traces left by the cultivators from the Wind Origin Realm.

Meanwhile, the Sword Array, in cooperation with the Water Lake Mouse, formed a defensive Array, alert to a possible ambush.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

After a full half an hour, Xu Ping finally withdrew his Divine Sense, and his brows slightly relaxed.

After a long and careful search, he confirmed that the Wind Origin Realm cultivator had indeed escaped the area and left no traces.

"Finally gone!"

Xu Ping let out a long sigh of relief, but his heart did not lighten.

This person’s Divine Techniques and methods are too enigmatic, even though the Exhaustion Sword Light restrains him, completely killing him remains a fantasy.

Moreover, using the Exhaustion Sword Light this time, Xu Ping consumed quite a bit of his lifespan, as much as over thirty years.

Although thirty years is but a trivial amount for Xu Ping, who has a lifespan of three thousand years, it still pained him greatly.

Xu Ping quietly withdrew his Wood Spirit Avatar back into the spirit beast pouch, pretending to be weak from using the Secret Technique, sweat beads forming on his forehead, his breath somewhat chaotic.

Only then did the Water Lake Mouse withdraw the protective "Profound Nether Heavy Water" surrounding them.

"Friend Yan!"

Seeing this, the worried Celestial Alchemist immediately approached, his face full of concern.

On this sea expedition, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were lost; had it not been for Xu Ping’s Divine Techniques, they might have all met their end.

"Friend Yan, please take this Pill first."

Noticing Xu Ping’s pale face and considerable exhaustion, the Celestial Alchemist took out a Fourth Rank Healing Sacred Pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance from his bosom.

"Thank you, Celestial Alchemist."

Xu Ping accepted the Pill, feigning taking it.

He could sense the Pill was indeed pure without any problem, but at this critical moment, he naturally would not easily consume others’ Pills.

But to not arouse the Celestial Alchemist’s suspicion, he nonetheless sat cross-legged to regulate his breath, using the operation of the "Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture" to cover up.

Also, he was trying to test if the Wind Origin Realm cultivator had truly left.

With this person’s enigmatic Divine Techniques and methods, perhaps he could indeed evade his Divine Sense, secretly observe, and strike at a moment’s notice.

After a full half-hour of regulating his breath without seeing any trace of the Wind Origin Realm cultivator, Xu Ping confirmed he should have truly left.

Moments later, Xu Ping opened his eyes, his complexion had returned to normal, and his breath had stabilized considerably.

"Friend Yan is truly skilled; had it not been for your methods, this old man would have fallen at the hands of the Wind Origin Realm cultivator." The Celestial Alchemist gratefully said.

Xu Ping waved his hand: "There’s no need for such words between us, I merely acted for self-preservation."

"Moreover, I was fortunate to master a Secret Technique that restrains him; truly matching our foundations, I’m afraid I’m still far from the person from the Wind Origin Realm."

"This place is not safe for long, we should leave here first."

Xu Ping suggested, his gaze sweeping over the distant sea horizon, his expression grave.

At the same time, he mentally communicated with the Water Lake Mouse, instructing it to remain vigilant and pay attention to surrounding movements.

"Good!"

Hearing this, the Celestial Alchemist nodded repeatedly, eager to leave this dangerous place.

Though he also knew the chance of the Wind Origin Realm cultivator ambushing them was small, being cautious is always a good choice.

Thus, the two humans and a demon quickly left the sea area.

...

Three months later.

Dan Yun City.

The city stood tall as a mountain, exuding a heavy atmosphere as one approached.

When the Celestial Alchemist entered the city gates, his tense nerves that had been taut for months finally completely relaxed, a long-lost smile appearing on his face.

With the city protected by Array and a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul powerhouse residing, unless there’s a full-scale invasion from the Wind Origin Realm, safety is assured.

"Thank you Friend Yan and Purple Abyss Demon Monarch for escorting me along the way."

The Celestial Alchemist bowed sincerely to Xu Ping and the Water Lake Mouse, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

Had he returned alone to Dan Yun City, there indeed was considerable danger along the way.

Although the Wind Origin Realm cultivator had fled, who knows if he’d set an ambush along the way?

"The Celestial Alchemist is too kind; with our friendship, naturally there’s no need for such words."

Xu Ping smiled, waving his hand naturally.

He escorted the Celestial Alchemist back to Dan Yun City, partly due to their friendship.

But there were also other thoughts in his mind.

Upon hearing this, a smile emerged on the Celestial Alchemist’s face.

He increasingly felt that assisting Xu Ping to attain Nascent Soul was one of the most correct decisions he’s made in his life.

At present, Xu Ping, though only at Early-Stage Nascent Soul, displayed power comparable to a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul powerhouse.

Further, achieving the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul would not dare to claim to challenge Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators.

Yet among Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he would undoubtedly be considered a top-tier existence.

Such a person is worth his full commitment to making connections.

Future Nanchuan Realm will certainly see the presence of Xu Ping.

...

Afterwards, led by the Celestial Alchemist, one person and one demon arrived at his mansion.

In a luxurious grand hall, the host and guests were seated.

The Celestial Alchemist personally poured Xu Ping a cup of clear, verdant Spirit Tea.

After brief pleasantries, Xu Ping took out a storage bag from his Storage Ring and pushed it toward the Celestial Alchemist.

"Previously, I sensed something unusual with the Cyan Evil’s corpse and stored it in a Storage Ring. Now, as agreed, I hand over half of the refined elixirs and flesh to the Celestial Alchemist."
