Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 479 - 261: Rescue; Runes_4

Thus, Miao Jun naturally shifted the topic, beginning to talk about the offerings to the Elder: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Friend Yan, since you have agreed to become our Purple Mountain Association’s offering Elder, let me explain the relevant duties in detail."

As he spoke, his expression became serious.

"Besides the previous promise to present you with runes, every year our Purple Mountain Association will also offer you a certain number of Spirit Stones for your cultivation needs."

"Additionally, we will provide you with a Third-rank Middle Grade cave dwelling, well-equipped and filled with Spiritual Qi, perfect for cultivation."

Pausing here, Miao Jun observed Xu Ping’s expression and continued: "All we require of you, Friend, is to assist during crucial moments of crisis in the Purple Mountain Association.

Miao Jun emphasized the words ’crucial moments’.

"Of course, if we encounter a situation where the state of affairs is irretrievable, you may even choose to leave to safeguard your well-being."

"No one in the Purple Mountain Association will have any complaints."

Xu Ping, hearing this, was quite satisfied with such treatment.

This treatment is indeed quite good.

Not only will there be runes obtained, but also Spirit Stones, and the responsibilities are relatively relaxed.

"Agreed."

Xu Ping nodded in acknowledgment and then added, "However, there is no need for the cave dwelling, as I have a suitable place for cultivation myself."

"No problem."

Miao Jun nodded happily.

He wasn’t surprised by the refusal of the cave dwelling.

Considering Xu Ping’s displayed strength and cultivation, he surely wouldn’t lack a third-rank cave dwelling.

....

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Ping signed a contract with the Purple Mountain Association.

This contract was no ordinary contract; it was a Third-rank level Spirit Contract.

Such a Third-rank level Spirit Contract is not easily violated, even by Golden Core Cultivators.

However, for Xu Ping, who possessed the Thousand Illusion Mask, it was not an issue.

Xu Ping took the contract, read it carefully, and after confirming it was correct, signed his name using mana mimicked by the Thousand Illusion Mask.

"Now that the contract is complete, shouldn’t Friend Miao hand over the runes mentioned earlier?"

After signing the Spirit Contract, Xu Ping, composed, spoke unhurriedly.

"Naturally."

Miao Jun spoke while carefully stowing away the newly signed Third-rank Spirit Contract, then took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Xu Ping,

"This jade slip records two unique runes exclusive to our Miao family."

Xu Ping reached out to receive the jade slip and his spirit briefly scanned it, instantly embedding the two mysterious special runes into his mind.

The two runes appeared ancient and mysterious, unlike the regular patterns and designs of common Array runes.

Nor did they carry the distinct magical imprints of amulet runes, embodying an entirely new set of rune systems, exuding a peculiar aura.

"Interesting!"

A strong interest surged in Xu Ping’s heart.

Although he hadn’t closely studied the rune yet, he already knew it was likely extraordinary.

"I wonder, would Friend Miao care to elaborate on the secrets of this rune?" After securing the jade slip, Xu Ping inquired with a smile towards Miao Jun.

Miao Jun was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"To be honest, these two runes were obtained by our family’s ancestor by chance, and we don’t know their exact origins."

"However, through generations of research, we discovered some characteristics of the runes. One is an attack rune, while the other is a defensive rune."

"If inscribed onto puppets, they can significantly enhance the puppet’s corresponding attack or defense capabilities with astonishing effects."

"So that’s how it is."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping knowingly nodded.

This aligned with his previous speculations.
