Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 452 - 255: Thunder Spirit

"Lucky I had foresight!"

As Xu Ping sensed the extremely subtle sweep of Divine Sense from the Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator, he felt a secret sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, before leaving Luoyun Immortal City, he successfully cultivated the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill to the Great Success Realm, significantly boosting his own Divine Sense.

Otherwise, facing the silent probe of the Divine Sense from a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator, he would not have had full confidence in his ability to evade it.

If discovered, it would be troublesome indeed.

The Luoyun Sect might slightly relax its standards for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, turning a blind eye.

The Golden Core cultivator would absolutely not allow anyone to smuggle into Wind Country.

At this moment, the cabins on the Spirit Ship were occupied by cultivators of different identities.

Many were native cultivators from Wind Country; they appeared relaxed and seemed accustomed to this type of inspection.

While Yue Country cultivators occupied only a portion, they mostly appeared tense, restless in their rooms.

Before long, two sect cultivators entered Xu Ping’s room looking relaxed.

They assessed Xu Ping from head to toe, one of them asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Ping, with an expression of calm, replied unhurriedly, "I am Li Feiyu, a devotee of the Purple Mountain Association."

After speaking, he calmly handed over the Identity Token given by Miao Sijia to the two.

The two cultivators took the Token, inspected it thoroughly, and found no sign of anything unusual.

Exchanging a glance, they turned around and left the room.

After all, the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall had not previously mentioned any suspicious circumstances related to this person, which suggested that this one probably had no issues.

However, not everyone could evade the Divine Sense of the Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator like Xu Ping.

Some who were wanted criminals by Yue Country or deserters fleeing from the frontline were utterly exposed under the Divine Sense of the Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator.

In both the regular rooms and the luxury suite areas on the second floor, four or five people suddenly encountered sudden changes.

Luoyun Sect cultivators did not hold back, decisively subdue them.

Among them, two resisted fiercely and were slain on-site, blood splattering everywhere in a gruesome scene.

This wasn’t all; in the lower deck where Qi Cultivators resided, the situation was even more severe.

Seven or eight fugitives disguised as Foundation Establishment cultivators attempting to smuggle into Wind Country were discovered.

Faced with these fugitives, the Luoyun Sect cultivators easily apprehended them one by one.

The outcome for these individuals was extremely tragic; either killed on the spot or directly taken away.

"Could Wind Country and Yue Country be playing the ’bait and trap’ game in cooperation?"

At this moment, Xu Ping couldn’t help but contemplate this thought.

After all, this Spirit Ship had more than one Golden Core cultivator stationed to guard it. Given their abilities, if they conducted a strict scrutiny with full effort, so many fugitives couldn’t possibly have boarded the Spirit Ship conveniently.

But if the two countries were cooperating secretly, then it all made sense.

It’s highly possible that Wind Country cultivators intentionally allowed some fugitives to board the Spirit Ship and then presented them as "results" to the inspectors.

Through this method, the inspecting cultivators treated the Spirit Ship’s smuggling indifferently, tacitly understanding each other.

"Alas, being too weak, sometimes one becomes a pawn without even realizing it." Xu Ping sighed helplessly.

In this Cultivation Realm, everything is illusory, only one’s immense strength is the sole truth to stand in the world.

....

For the sect cultivators’ inspection this time, Wind Country’s cultivators behaved extremely indifferent, as though this was just a trivial matter.

Even during the inspection, when five or six people died, and seven or eight were captured, they still seemed unconcerned as if these were mere trivial episodes in the journey, not worth their attention at all.

But for Yue Country’s smuggling cultivators, they broke out in cold sweat; fortunately, they safely made it through.

After the inspection, the Spirit Ship finally took off again, heading towards Wind Country.

A few days later, when the Spirit Ship completely left Yue Country’s territorial range, the Yue Country cultivators who had smuggled in finally relaxed their tense nerves, simultaneously letting out a sharp breath.

In the following half month, Wind Country’s Spirit Ship sailed exceptionally smoothly, everything remaining peaceful along the way.

After that, no sect cultivators came for inspection anymore. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As days went by, many bolder cultivators couldn’t hold back, stepping out of their rooms and onto the deck to breathe fresh air and enjoy the rare moments of relaxation.

...

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Spirit Ship’s second-floor compartment.

"I must say, the compartments on the second floor are indeed much more luxurious compared to the rooms on the first floor."

Sitting opposite Xu Ping was a pockmarked middle-aged man, this individual was Peng Feiyang, who was one of those Foundation Establishment cultivators who had joined the Purple Mountain Association together earlier.

At this moment, he spoke with a tone full of envy.

Since the conclusion of the initiation banquet, Peng Feiyang had been intentionally approaching Xu Ping to get acquainted.

And Xu Ping had not adopted a cold demeanor to reject him, having heard that this person had relatives living in Wind Country, with a considerable understanding of the situation there.

Xu Ping was eager to gather information about Wind Country from him, and thus, naturally, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

"What’s there to envy? It’s just that the environment is slightly better."

Xu Ping lightly sipped some tea, with a faint smile on his face, responding to Peng Feiyang.
