Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 503 - 267: Transaction (Part 4)

Seeing this situation, Xu Ping did not waste any more words explaining. He only calmly raised his hand and gently tapped the spirit beast pouch hanging at his waist.

With a flash of light, a blue-purple two-toned rat demon suddenly appeared in the cave.

In an instant, a vast, powerful aura centered on the Water Lake Rat surged through the entire cave like a raging tidal wave.

It was the terrifying aura unique to a seasoned third-rank mid-grade great demon, spreading a suffocating tension in the atmosphere.

The fluctuations of spiritual power were as violent as a surging sea, as if they might trigger an earth-shattering storm at any moment.

"A seasoned third-rank mid-grade great demon??"

Miao Jun felt a chill swiftly climb from his feet to his heart, and he was instantly shocked.

His eyes widened, staring intently at the Water Lake Rat that had suddenly appeared, his face full of astonishment.

Although a third-rank mid-grade seasoned great demon can’t compare to a third-rank top-grade puppet,

Its powerful strength is by no means comparable to ordinary beings, being half a notch stronger than ordinary third-rank mid-grade demon beasts.

If Yan Ruchen, who is as strong as a cultivator at the middle stage of the Golden Core, is added to the equation, it might barely be possible to hold off the opponent.

After all, since he can command such a formidable third-rank mid-grade great demon, it’s likely he also has the assistance of a third-rank puppet in his hand.

"Now, Daoist Miao, do you believe that I have the capability to handle this?"

Xu Ping calmly lifted the teacup on the table, took a sip, and leisurely said without haste.

The steam from the tea rose before him, blurring his features, yet adding a mysterious aura.

"I believe it, I’ve underestimated Daoist Yan."

Miao Jun sighed with a bitter smile, his heart was a mix of emotions at the moment.

At this moment, he truly hesitated.

On one hand is the Purple Mountain Association’s centuries-old foundation, which is the hard work of countless ancestors; on the other hand is the runes that the Miao family has studied for hundreds of years.

To give up on either side is like cutting off a piece of his own flesh, the pain is unbearable.

Xu Ping noticed the hesitation in Miao Jun’s eyes and then offered another highly enticing chip:

"I heard that Daoist Miao has a junior named Miao Wanqian, who was unfortunately poisoned by the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association, causing his foundation to be completely destroyed, and now he has completely lost hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm."

"If Daoist Miao is willing to give me the original runes, I can not only help Purple Mountain Association get through this crisis, but also restore Miao Wanqian’s foundation fully, giving him hope to break through to the Golden Core again."

Upon hearing this, Miao Jun suddenly looked up, his eyes fixated on Xu Ping, as if trying to discern the truth from Xu Ping’s expression.

He articulated each word carefully, with a solemn tone: "Is what Daoist Yan said absolutely true?"

No wonder he was so cautious, after all, in the cultivation realm, repairing the foundation of a cultivator who has been poisoned is by no means easy.

"Of course."

Xu Ping nodded confidently, showing no hesitation or guilt.

With the longevity skill he currently possesses, restoring the foundation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not without cost.

But it is indeed relatively easy, at most consuming two or three months of lifespan.

And this small loss of lifespan is really nothing to Xu Ping.

Miao Jun fell into contemplation, his mind swirling with thoughts, weighing the pros and cons.

After a long silence, he sighed deeply:

"If Daoist indeed can help the Purple Mountain Association successfully fend off the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association’s attack, ensuring the safety of the Purple Mountain Association."

"And completely restore Miao Wanqian’s foundation, allowing him to regain his previous cultivation talent and have hope of breaking through the Golden Core, I will definitely offer the original runes with both hands, without fail!"
