Cultivation Starts from Farming

Two months later, Blood Bone Island.

The Yin Sha sea breeze remained, caressing the island’s jagged black reefs.

An inconspicuous Escape Light quietly penetrated the outer Restriction, landing before the Blood Bone Hall at the island’s heart.

The brilliance faded, Xu Ping’s dark robe gently fluttered, his expression calm.

As he landed, a figure with a cold yet anxious aura hurriedly approached, it was Duan Shuang.

She still wore her moon-white robe, her figure exquisite, her face strikingly beautiful, relieved to see Xu Ping safe and sound.

Rumors about the Ancient Demon Hall were rampant; although she trusted Xu Ping’s strength, she couldn’t help but worry.

"Some turmoil has already subsided, sorry for worrying Shuang’Er,"

Xu Ping smiled slightly, naturally extending his arm to embrace her slender waist, feeling the familiar chill and softness.

The pair walked into the hall together.

Duan Shuang elegantly brewed tea, the Spiritual Spring boiled, the aroma wafting, dispelling the hall’s chill.

After a moment of warmth, Xu Ping pondered for a while before choosing to share the major events at the Ancient Demon Hall with Duan Shuang.

This included the Late-Stage Nascent Soul ancient demon’s appearance, Si Kong Zi Yan’s words about ancient seals and demonic disaster secrets, and the takeover of the He Huan old demon by what seemed to be an ancient demon head at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Of course, he naturally omitted the details of the battle with the demon-headed entity.

Even so, this concise information instantly changed the expression on Duan Shuang’s beautiful face.

After a long silence, Duan Shuang suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xu Ping, and gently said:

"My dear Xu... this matter involves too much, already beyond what we can control."

"The outer sea might become a place of trouble. Should we temporarily leave the outer sea to avoid this turmoil?"

Xu Ping was initially startled upon hearing this, then couldn’t help but chuckle and gently tapped Duan Shuang’s upturned nose, teasing:

"What’s this, since when has my Shuang’Er learned my ’steady’ essence, already thinking of retreating before the battle?"

Duan Shuang, teased by him, coquettishly rolled her eyes at him and pouted: "Such existences, are they easy to deal with?"

This glance, with all its charm, melted ice and snow, warming the spring waters, was extraordinarily captivating.

Xu Ping laughed heartily and drew her into his embrace, his tone relaxed yet filled with undeniable confidence and calm:

"Rest assured, Shuang’Er, don’t you already know your husband’s abilities?"

Even though the demonic disaster is surging, unless Divinity Transformation emerges, keeping both you and me safe should be no issue, even if it truly comes to the point where nothing can be done...."

He paused, a familiar curve appearing at his lips: "No need to remind, your husband would definitely be the first to drag you away."

"Speaking of sizing up the situation and fleeing thousands of miles, in this outer sea cultivation realm, it’s hard to find few who surpass your husband."

Listening to Xu Ping’s words, half confidence, half joking, Duan Shuang’s worries immediately dissipated much, giving a slight smile, and gently nested in his embrace.

Now, her trust in Xu Lang was boundless.

Afterward, Xu Ping waved his sleeve, taking out several jade boxes and jade bottles, the rainbow light gleamed, and the aroma of medicine was overwhelming.

"This time at the hall, I did acquire some good little trinkets, which should aid your cultivation."

For Xu Ping, any improvement in Duan Shuang’s Divine Sense, cultivation, and musical art would also benefit him.

After all, reaching the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level, it’s extremely challenging to further improve Divine Sense.

As long as Duan Shuang’s Divine Sense and musical art break through, dual cultivation can also boost his Divine Sense.

Duan Shuang looked at these dazzling Spirit Medicines, feeling warmth flowing through her heart.

Each of these Spirit Medicines was a rare treasure in the outside world.

Duan Shuang didn’t decline, carefully putting them away, and softly said: "Thank you, Xu Lang."

After storing the Spirit Medicine, Duan Shuang lifted her lovely face, her eyes sparkling, carrying a touch of alluring charm, her cheeks slightly red, she softly said:

"You’ve traveled enduringly, Xu Lang; wouldn’t it be better if... I serve you a bath and wash away your fatigue?"

Looking at her rarely displayed shy and amorous demeanor, Xu Ping’s heart couldn’t help but flutter, and he nodded with a smile.

Deep within the Blood Bone Hall, there was a bathing pool formed by an earth vein hot spring, mist rising, and Spiritual Qi abundant.

Under Duan Shuang’s care, Xu Ping took off his dark robe.

Duan Shuang’s pretty face was flushed as she also lightly loosened her robes, revealing her exquisite, jade-like body with astonishing curves.

She gently stepped into the pool, the warm Spiritual Spring water covering her icy skin and snowy flesh.

...

An hour later, Xu Ping left Duan Shuang’s abode, feeling refreshed, returning to the Blood Bone Hall.

Although the two hadn’t reached the final step, this unique experience was indeed refreshing.

Underground Abode.

"Master."

The Water Lake Mouse greeted with a face full of flattery.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping nodded slightly, his gaze landing on the Water Lake Mouse.

The Water Lake Mouse’s aura had become vast and profound, like an ancient pool, its Demonic Power exceptionally pure.

Moreover, the dragon might emanating from it had become extremely intense, a pressure from the depths of its bloodline, far more formidable than ordinary Tier Four Middle Grade Peak Demon Beasts.

"It seems constantly devouring Dragon Blood Fruit over the years has greatly benefited you, " Xu Ping said contentedly.

The Water Lake Mouse naturally possessed a True Dragon Bloodline; under the nourishment of Dragon Blood Fruit, this bloodline became increasingly pure, its power ever stronger.

"This is all thanks to Master," the Water Lake Mouse’s face showed even deeper flattery.

These words were truly heartfelt.

For others, consuming one or two Dragon Blood Fruits in a lifetime would be a great fortune.

Not many could like the Master, using an extremely exaggerated ripening ability, forcibly reviving the Dragon Blood Fruit tree.

"Perhaps, it’s time to prepare for breaking through to Fourth Rank Upper Grade."

With this thought, Xu Ping’s gaze returned to the strange flower not far away, emitting a dim glow.
