Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 371 - 227: Myriad Manifestations Wood Spirit Array Successfully Deployed; Duan Shuang and Gong Yang Return

Chapter 371: Chapter 227: Myriad Manifestations Wood Spirit Array Successfully Deployed; Duan Shuang and Gong Yang Return

Upon entering the cultivation chamber, Xu Ping took out a jade-green array plate from the Storage Ring.

The array plate was warm to the touch, its surface intricately carved with complex and mysterious patterns, faintly emitting a gentle glow.

Next, he swiftly formed seals with his hands, as strands of cyan mana light spilled from his fingertips.

As the magic technique was completed, the jade-green array plate suddenly burst into a brilliant spiritual light, illuminating the entire cultivation chamber in emerald green.

Simultaneously, the Myriad Manifestations Wood Spirit Array seemed to be infused with a powerful energy, slowly beginning to operate.

In an instant.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside the chamber seemed to respond to a mighty summons, surging into the chamber like a tidal wave.

The sound of the wind howled as Spiritual Qi flooded in like a tide, and within moments, the nearly tangible Spiritual Qi enveloped the entire cultivation room.

Amidst this dense Spiritual Qi, Xu Ping’s figure appeared and disappeared, as if he were in a celestial realm.

"This concentration of Spiritual Qi... it might even surpass that of an ordinary Third-rank Lower Grade Spirit Vein!"

Xu Ping carefully sensed the Spiritual Qi concentration in the chamber, arriving at a conclusion that pleasantly surprised him.

For cultivators, Spiritual Qi is the key resource for enhancing their power.

The higher the concentration of Spiritual Qi, the greater the benefits for the cultivator.

"This Myriad Manifestations Wood Spirit Array not only has impressive defensive power but also an exaggerated Gathering Spirit effect!" Xu Ping’s heart was full of joy.

Such a concentration of Spiritual Qi also meant that reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection, especially the dangerous moment of dissipating power to rebuild, would be significantly shortened.

Xu Ping immediately sat cross-legged, his hands and feet facing the sky, entering a deep cultivation state.

As the cultivation technique circulated, a large vortex of Spiritual Power formed above his head, continuously absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

During this process, Xu Ping experienced an unprecedented smoothness.

For a moment, he was utterly immersed in cultivation.

...

...

Time silently passed as Xu Ping cultivated.

A year later.

Within the cultivation chamber.

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, a hint of subtle satisfaction in his gaze.

Ever since the array was set up, he had become nearly addicted to cultivation, unable to extricate himself, often falling into several months of secluded training.

He spent very little time on other secret techniques and magic as well.

Xu Ping adjusted his breath a little more, waiting for his restless mana to calm down, then opened the proficiency panel.

[Name: Xu Ping]

[Lifespan: 73/851 years]

[Realm: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 90/100; Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill Level One: 15/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Major Achievement: 1401/1600]

...

"After a year’s arduous cultivation, my realm increased by 9 points, and Longevity Skill increased by 47 points!"

Xu Ping, looking at the data on the panel, unconsciously curled his lips up into a satisfied smile.

Calculating carefully, this cultivation efficiency had increased by nearly a quarter compared to before.

Do not underestimate this seemingly small quarter.

In the long years of cultivation, this small gap accumulated over time could eventually create a gap of decades, or even tens of years.

"At this cultivation speed, within a year or so at most, I will reach Foundation Establishment Perfection."

"But Longevity Skill will be slower, still needing four years to reach Perfection."

However, even if successfully reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection, dissipating power to rebuild in the short term is unlikely to be realistic."

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’s brow involuntarily knitted slightly.

The situation remains stable, mainly because the Six Demon Countries Alliance and the One Qi Alliance’s people have yet to show up.

When both forces arrive, a confrontation is inevitable, and Yue Country will certainly be affected.

Choosing to dissipate power at that time would undoubtedly be foolish.

"Never mind, after all, I have a lifespan of over eight hundred years, what’s waiting another dozen or twenty years?"

"Waiting for the situation to stabilize slowly, then embarking on the dissipating power and rebuilding wouldn’t be too late."

After such thoughts, the worries in Xu Ping’s heart gradually dissipated, and his mindset became calmer.

After all, for someone with such a long lifespan as him, waiting a dozen or twenty years indeed is nothing.

Just as Xu Ping was about to leave the cultivation chamber to take a walk on Thousand Leaves Mountain, his brow suddenly twitched slightly.

Immediately, he turned his palm over, and a Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman appeared in his palm, currently flickering with lively light.

"Duan Shuang?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Has the Yue Country’s cultivator army returned?

...

...

Several days later.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two Escape Lights carrying a surging wave of Spiritual Power fluctuations, like meteors, swiftly traversed from outside Purple Bamboo Mountain.

"Duan Shuang, Gong Yang!"

Xu Ping looked up and instantly recognized the two rapidly approaching Escape Lights as his old friends, Duan Shuang and Gong Yang, whom he hadn’t seen in years.

At once, he stood up and moved to the open space of Thousand Leaves Mountain.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, murmuring incantations, manipulating the mountain’s array.

The array light flickered, with most of Thousand Leaves Mountain’s Spiritual Qi being drawn to a corner, revealing only the Spiritual Qi concentration of an ordinary Second-stage Upper Grade Spirit Vein.

Moments later, as the array light flowed, slowly opening an array passage.

Duan Shuang and Gong Yang, immediately piloting their Escape Light, passed through the array passage, landing steadily on Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Xu Ping’s gaze then fell on the two of them.

Duan Shuang’s face showed a hint of fatigue, yet it could not hide her graceful and bright demeanor.

While Gong Yang, compared to before, was noticeably more aged, with traces of time adding to the ruggedness of his face.
