Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 514 - 270: Half-Step Top-Grade Magic Treasure (Part 3)

Chapter 514: Chapter 270: Half-Step Top-Grade Magic Treasure (Part 3)

After all, he had already consumed two bottles of the Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid and knew very well that ordinary Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid could not possibly provoke such a strong craving in him.

Immediately, Xu Ping subtly extended his Divine Sense, cautiously exploring the Spiritual Liquid within the Jade Bottle.

As his Divine Sense delved deeper, his eyes suddenly widened, and a look of shock appeared on his face as he couldn’t help but blurt out, "Is this a Quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid??"

Quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid similarly belongs to the category of Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid, but its age must reach at least five thousand years or more, thus within the Cultivation Realm, it is commonly known as the Quasi-Fourth Rank Longevity Extender.

Just like this drop of Spiritual Liquid in the Jade Bottle in Xu Ping’s hand, it happened to have just reached the age of five thousand years.

For the high and mighty Nascent Soul Cultivators, whose Divine Techniques are vast, it might have relatively limited effects.

But for cultivators still in the Golden Core Realm, it is an unparalleled top-grade lifespan-extending treasure that is impossible to find but chance upon.

"Miao Daoist friend, where did you find this?"

Xu Ping urgently inquired, his eyes shimmering with a burning light.

If he could acquire an entire bottle of Quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid, the impact on extending his lifespan and enhancing his cultivation would be immeasurable. Such a temptation was impossible for him to resist.

"This was found in an underground mine."

Miao Jun, seeing Xu Ping’s eager and restless appearance, no longer kept him in suspense and began to explain the whole antecedent in clear detail.

It turned out that underneath a mine once controlled by the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association, two miners accidentally dug into a hidden underground cave while extracting ore.

Out of curiosity, the two men gathered the courage to enter the cave.

Upon entering the cave, they discovered another world entirely.

The inside of the cave was extraordinarily spacious, with a huge lake.

Beside the lake, they found a small stone pool filled with clear liquid, which was the source of this drop of Quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid.

Although the miners were uncertain of the nature of the Spiritual Liquid, they were sure it was valuable.

Just as they were about to collect it all, an extremely powerful Demon Qi began to spread.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, they quickly fled.

They managed to collect only a little of the Spiritual Liquid, and in the process of escaping, much of it spilled—leaving only this small amount.

"Spilled?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping felt as if his heart was bleeding.

This is Quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid!

How many years of lifespan could that enhance!

"After those two miners desperately escaped, the Demon Beast hidden in the shadows finally revealed its true form—a beast resembling a silkworm cocoon."

Miao Jun’s expression grew increasingly serious at this point, his voice unconsciously lowering, "Moreover, the aura it exudes has already reached the level of a Third-Rank Top-Grade."

"Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast?"

Xu Ping slightly knitted his brows, but quickly relaxed them again.

With his current strength, killing a Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast was no longer as life-threatening as when he had just broken through the Golden Core Realm.

"Fortunately, the Demon Beast seemed unwilling to leave the mine; it returned to it after devouring all the people who remained in the mine, thereby sparing significant casualties."

Miao Jun added this final note, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Miao Daoist friend, what is the current situation of that mine? Is anyone else aware of the existence of this Spiritual Liquid?" Xu Ping asked with a burning gaze.

"Currently, the mine is tightly controlled by the Purple Mountain Association, and those who knew about the Spiritual Liquid have been properly managed by me."

"However, the commotion caused by that Third-Rank Demon Beast was so great that nearby cultivators have likely caught wind of it."

"There is nothing much to worry about with other cultivators or forces, the main concern is to watch out for the Qingyuan Sect."

"Qingyuan Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping didn’t seem overly concerned.

After all, according to what he knew, the strongest in the Qingyuan Sect had no more than Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivation, which posed no substantial threat to him at all.

Nonetheless, Xu Ping has always acted cautiously, and to prevent unforeseen changes, he decided to head to the mine as soon as possible.

"Miao Daoist friend, would it be convenient for you to take me to the mine now?" Xu Ping inquired.

"It naturally is convenient." Miao Jun nodded with a smile.

Though the mine housed a Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast, with the mysterious Yan Daoist and his Spirit Pet around, stopping that Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast shouldn’t be an issue.

...

...

Within the Qingyuan Sect, at the core of a Third-Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Vein, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Yu Zoran’s face was dark as he looked at the burly man beside him, with a hint of regret and probing in his voice:

"Yan Daoist friend, apart from being guarded by a Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast, reports indicate a treasure trove of heavenly resources in those mineral veins."

"It would be a great pity if the Purple Mountain Association were to acquire it easily."

The person referred to as Yan Daoist friend was Yan Ming, the Sect Leader of the Puppet Protection Institute.

As a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator, and a rare Third-Rank Upper-Grade Puppet Master with profound skill in Puppetry.

At this moment, he showed no emotion, making it difficult to discern his feelings, only speaking faintly, "With the strength of the Purple Mountain Association, can they slay that Third-Rank Top-Grade Demon Beast?"

Yu Zoran hurriedly continued, "Previously, the Purple Mountain Association couldn’t, but now the situation is different."

"Currently, the Purple Mountain Association has the aid of a seasoned Third-Rank Mid-Grade Great Demon, significantly boosting their strength."
