Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 439 - 251: Deteriorating Situation; Plan to Escape

Chapter 439: Chapter 251: Deteriorating Situation; Plan to Escape

It is important to know that under natural conditions, the formation of a spirit vein is extremely slow and takes at least thousands of years.

During the long years, various elements of heaven and earth blend and settle, only then is it possible to nurture a spirit vein.

However, a spirit worm can quickly shorten this time.

For large powers in the cultivation realm that have considerable scale and heritage, a second-stage upper-grade spirit worm is far more valuable than a typical third-rank demon beast.

"Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t return to Thousand Leaves Mountain right now!" Xu Ping shook his head helplessly.

Thinking of the difficult situation he’s in now, the feeling of having a home but unable to return truly makes one feel stifled.

The threat from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would mean walking into a trap if I were to go now.

After all, even if that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator doesn’t personally chase him, casually sending a few late-stage Golden Core or even Golden Core Perfection cultivators is an easy thing.

Although Xu Ping has now successfully refined a magic tool, significantly enhancing his own strength.

If faced with a crowd of demon cultivators swarming in, there’s absolutely no chance of winning.

Moreover, if he performs too outstandingly in a battle, he is likely to attract that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to hunt him down with all his might, and such consequences are unimaginable.

...

After playing with the spirit worm for a while, Xu Ping went to the insect chamber.

At this time, the Waterlake Mouse was still immersed in slumber, but the aura emanating from it was already approaching the peak level of third-rank lower grade.

The surging wave of demonic power resembled an imminent erupting volcano, containing vast and tremendous energy inside.

"Is the mouse intending to break through to third-rank middle grade in one sweep?" Xu Ping touched his chin with his hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

If the Waterlake Mouse truly succeeds in breaking through to third-rank middle grade this time, its own strength will achieve a qualitative leap.

However, Xu Ping felt the mouse was a bit too hasty.

Because this Waterlake Mouse had only broken through to third-rank lower grade for merely thirty to forty years.

For a demon beast with a long lifespan, these short decades are nothing but fleeting moments.

In such a limited time, the foundation it has accumulated is still somewhat thin.

Although breaking through small grades is not as risky as high-grade breakthroughs, where failure might result in death or crippling.

It’s not something that can be taken lightly; negligence will definitely damage one’s primordial qi.

However, if the Waterlake Mouse awakens with a strong determination to challenge a higher realm, Xu Ping would certainly not sit idly by, naturally aiding it with his power.

...

At this moment, Xu Ping suddenly froze in his expression and immediately left the insect chamber, heading to the front of the cave abode.

He saw a sound transmission talisman, rotating like a headless fly within the restriction, bouncing around aimlessly.

"Who could it be?"

Xu Ping furrowed his brows slightly, pondering various hypotheses in his mind.

He always cautiously hid his identity and acted very low-key; theoretically, no one should be sending him a message.

He summoned the sound transmission talisman, which seemed to find its target in an instant, darting rapidly towards him like an arrow and landing firmly in his palm.

Xu Ping gently grasped the sound transmission talisman, then infiltrated it with his divine sense to begin exploring the message inside.

As the information from the sound transmission talisman flowed in, his expression gradually changed, his previously slightly furrowed brow furrowed even tighter, and even his face began to darken.

It turned out that this sound transmission talisman was sent by the Luoyun Sect, an enlistment order targeting loose cultivators above the fake pill realm.

Luoyun Sect was calling for loose cultivators to head to the frontlines to resist demon cultivators, defending Yue Country.

If it were just an ordinary enlistment order, Xu Ping wouldn’t be so worried.

After all, such enlistments in the cultivation realm are completely voluntary and not compulsory.

But what troubles him is that, at the end of the order, Luoyun Sect has specifically noted that to prevent demon spies from infiltrating Yue Country’s rear, Yue Country’s borders are now under complete lockdown, strictly prohibiting cultivators inside Yue Country from leaving on their own, or they will be treated as demon spies.

"Sounds nice!" Xu Ping couldn’t help but sneer repeatedly.

He understood clearly that Luoyun Sect’s actions this time ostensibly claim to prevent spies.

In reality, it’s merely to prevent the cultivators of Yue Country from fleeing abroad, forcing them to serve as cannon fodder against demon cultivators.

And from the promulgation of this restriction by Luoyun Sect, it is evident that the frontline’s situation might already be extremely dire. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The demon cultivators are coming aggressively, presumably placing great pressure on Yue Country and even the One Qi Alliance.

Otherwise, given Luoyun Sect and the One Qi Alliance’s status and image in the orthodoxy, they would not issue such an almost coercive restriction!

After all, the One Qi Alliance as an orthodoxy alliance is usually very concerned about its reputation.

...

Xu Ping contemplated for a moment, understanding that the matter was of great importance.

After weighing carefully, he decided to first find out the specific situation at the frontline before determining his next plan based on actual circumstances.

Xu Ping quietly left the cave abode, using magic to conceal his cultivator aura to late-stage Foundation Establishment, heading towards the place in Luoyun Immortal City specializing in selling intelligence.

This place was in an inconspicuous corner, with surroundings slightly outdated, contrasting sharply with the bustling center of Luoyun Immortal City.
