Cultivation Starts from Farming

Heavenly Demon Dark Flower.

This legendary mystical flower is quietly blooming at this moment. Its petals display a profound purple-black hue, with mysterious patterns flowing across its surface.

An aura of extreme yin is slowly emanating from the flower, blending with the surrounding Spiritual Qi to form a unique rhythm.

"If the Water Lake Mouse consumes it, the success rate of breaking through to the Fourth Rank Upper Grade can increase significantly." A gleam of anticipation flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

However, Xu Ping quickly calmed himself.

Although the Heavenly Demon Dark Flower would provide assistance, breaking through to the Fourth Rank Upper Grade was still not an easy task.

The Fourth Rank Upper Grade represents the pinnacle among Demon Beasts, requiring immense opportunities and a deep foundation for each breakthrough.

Relying solely on the Heavenly Demon Dark Flower, even with a significant increase in success rate, is still not a guarantee.

If it fails, this precious Spirit Flower would be wasted, and the Water Lake Mouse’s breakthrough would become a distant dream.

"I still need to strategize further."

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, and an idea surfaced in his mind.

Perhaps he could involve the Jin Ling Mouse clan.

Jin Yuxuan, newly advanced to Fourth Rank Upper Grade Demon Monarch, must have extensive experience with breakthroughs.

Moreover, the Jin Ling Mouse clan has an extraordinary relationship with the Water Lake Mouse, and Jin Linger is even the Water Lake Mouse’s Dao companion.

Surely, they would not refuse.

With that thought, Xu Ping had formed a preliminary plan in his mind.

Nevertheless, this matter still required careful planning and could not be rushed.

.....

After giving a few instructions to the Water Lake Mouse, Xu Ping turned and returned to his chamber.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the bed and took out a Jade Bottle.

Inside, thick ink-black blood exuding vast vitality and Nirvana Dao essence flowed.

It was indeed the Nirvana Blood.

"I have gathered two of the materials needed for cultivating the Nirvana Golden Body; there remain four or five main materials."

Xu Ping counted in his mind, "As for the auxiliary materials, though precious, they will require slow and careful planning."

The materials required for the Nirvana Golden Body are extremely demanding, each being a rare treasure.

But once completed, it would truly be a step into the pinnacle of human power.

Xu Ping suppressed his excitement and carefully stored away the Nirvana Blood.

Then, with a tap on his storage pouch, a Spirit Fruit, snow-white and translucent, radiating boundless vitality and Creational Dao essence, appeared in his palm.

It was the Life Creation Fruit obtained from the ancient medicine garden.

"Although I have already consumed one Life Creation Pill, the fruit’s age far exceeds the materials used for alchemy, consuming it directly should be more effective."

With bright eyes, Xu Ping decisively consumed the Spirit Fruit in a few bites.

As the fruit entered his abdomen, it transformed into a vast warm current, akin to sunlight melting frozen ground in spring, surging instantly to his limbs and bones, deep into his Dantian and Nascent Soul, nourishing the essence of his Divine Soul.

This power was gentle yet immense, similar to the Life Creation Pill he had consumed earlier, but even more pure and powerful.

Xu Ping immediately operated the Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture, directing this immense medicinal power to circulate throughout his body, refining and absorbing it.

In cultivation, years seem to fly by; in a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, a concealed brilliance within, exuding vitality.

He carefully sensed his condition, particularly the increase in his indefinite lifespan.

"The lifespan increased nearly two hundred and sixty years... it truly did not disappoint me!" Xu Ping’s lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

The medicinal effect of this Life Creation Fruit was even stronger than expected.

Achieving such effects on a second consumption was already commendable.

It completely compensated for the lifespan lost when using the Life and Death Divine Light within the Ancient Demon Hall.

His total lifespan now approached an alarming four thousand three hundred years.

The journey to the Ancient Demon Hall was indeed fruitful.

"Now that the Spirit Fruit has been refined, it is time to assist the Ghost Soul in devouring the Demon Monarch." A hint of anticipation flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Once the Ghost Soul reaches the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level, his combat strength will also be enhanced.

This also signifies the Ten Thousand Souls Banner steadily advancing toward becoming a supreme treasure.

However, Xu Ping did not act recklessly.

After all, the backlash from a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Ghost Soul is no small matter, making it necessary to adjust his state to the peak.

...

After spending several more days adjusting his state to its peak, Xu Ping retrieved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and a cold jade box covered with layers of sealing talismans.

With a thought, Xu Ping commanded.

The primary soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a massive, ferocious soul body, roared out, its blood-red eyes fixed greedily on the cold jade box with extreme desire.

Xu Ping’s expression was solemn as his hands performed incantations, casting Decryption Technique Light onto the cold jade box.

The layers of sealing talismans ignited without wind, turning into ashes.

At the instant the final seal was broken!

"Roar!"

A fiercely cold and outrageously potent Ghost Monarch’s essence burst out from the box.

In vague intervals, the unwilling howls of the Ghost Monarch’s remnants could be heard.

The primary soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner could not wait any longer and let out an earth-shattering roar.

Its huge mouth opened wide, transforming into an abyssal vortex, swallowing the escaping Ghost Monarch’s essence.

In the moment of devouring, the primary soul’s massive body shuddered violently, and its Demonic Qi boiled like bubbling water.

Its aura became extremely unstable, echoing with cries of both pain and satisfaction.

In its blood-red eyes, madness and greed grew dramatically, even showing signs of turning against its master.

Xu Ping let out a cold snort, having been prepared for this.
