Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 516 - 271: The Sword Array Displays Its Might

Chapter 516: Chapter 271: The Sword Array Displays Its Might

"You two young friends, do not be nervous. We only wish to know the relevant information about that cave."

"As long as the two of you tell us everything you know without reservation, we naturally won’t make things difficult for you."

Miao Jun said with a gentle smile, his tone calm and steady.

Hearing these words, the two Qi Cultivators glanced at each other, and then disclosed everything they knew, without holding anything back.

The actual situation was not much different from what Miao Jun had previously described, just added many details.

In particular, it was mentioned that the spiritual energy inside that cave was surprisingly and frighteningly abundant.

"Is the Spiritual Qi within the cave really this abundant?"

"Could there be a hidden spirit vein underground?"

Xu Ping listened attentively on the side, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

From observing the exterior of this mineral mountain, apart from a slightly unusual fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, it was impossible to tell that the internal Spiritual Qi was so abundant.

However, upon entering the cave, the Spiritual Qi was extremely rich. This scenario indeed seemed like there is a hidden spirit vein deep underground.

"Thank you, young friends. Elder Li, give them each two hundred spirit stones."

After the two finished speaking, Miao Jun nodded slightly, his smile unchanged, and immediately instructed the white-haired elder beside him.

"Thank you for your generous gift, senior!"

Upon hearing this, the two Qi Cultivators immediately showed great joy and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

Two hundred spirit stones were undoubtedly a huge fortune for them.

They knew clearly that the Spiritual Liquid they had brought out must be an extremely precious treasure, the likes of which was beyond the reach of people of their cultivation level.

Now obtaining two hundred spirit stones alone was already a great and unexpected joy for them.

...

After the white-haired elder led the two Qi Cultivators away, Miao Jun turned around, his gaze falling on Xu Ping, and asked:

"Advisor Yan, given the current situation, how should we proceed?"

Xu Ping looked towards the mineral mountain ahead, his eyes showing composure and determination, and said slowly:

"The most urgent task is to find a way to force out the third-rank upper-grade demon beast hidden within the ore!"

At this moment, he already had a plan in mind.

He planned to first force out the third-rank upper-grade demon beast hidden deep within the mineral mountain, then capture it in one fell swoop, and smoothly obtain the remaining quasi fourth-rank Spiritual Liquid.

This mineral mountain was quite unusual; caution was paramount.

Just as Xu Ping was about to start executing his plan, two overwhelming and extremely fierce auras came rushing like a storm from far away in the sky.

"A middle-stage Golden Core cultivator and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator?" Xu Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed the aura of the visitors.

Moreover, from their aggressive stance, it was clear they were not passing by coincidentally. They were evidently coming for this mineral mountain with ill intentions.

When Miao Jun saw the two appear, his expression instantly changed wildly: "Yu Zoran, Yan Ming!"

Yu Zoran was still acceptable, but Yan Ming was no ordinary figure.

He was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and a rare third-rank upper-grade puppet master, deeply knowledgeable and exceptionally skilled in puppetry.

Compared to ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators, his strength was even greater—truly formidable.

Miao Jun’s heart darkened with trouble, realizing that the situation might become increasingly thorny.

"You know these two?" Xu Ping turned to Miao Jun, asking.

Miao Jun quickly approached Xu Ping, lowered his voice, and recounted the detailed information about these two.

"Sect Leader Yan Ming of the Puppet Protection Institute, and Yu Zoran of the Qingyuan Sect?"

Listening to Miao Jun’s account, a cold hint of chill gradually emerged in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Clearly, Yan Ming had been called by Yu Zoran to come as reinforcement.

Over the years, Xu Ping had naturally heard about the Qingyuan Sect’s attempted seizure of the Ten Thousand Dragons Commerce Association’s legacy, only to be forcefully driven away by the Purple Mountain Association.

"Dear Advisor, Yan Ming is no ordinary person. His puppetry is unfathomable and masterful. With our current situation, we are hardly his equal."

"In my opinion, we might as well ally with them for now to deal with that third-rank upper-grade demon beast together."

"Once this matter is resolved, we’ll consider further actions at length," Miao Jun earnestly advised with great concern.

Although Miao Jun firmly believed that Lv Wenbo was killed by Yan Ruchen.

The difference in strength compared to well-known late-stage Golden Core cultivators like Yan Ruchen and Yan Ming was still obvious.

After hearing Miao Jun’s words, Xu Ping’s expression remained indifferent, his eyes showing no hesitation or wavering.

The quasi fourth-rank Spiritual Liquid was of crucial significance to him, relevant to his overarching plans for cultivation, and how could he easily share this rare opportunity with others.

Xu Ping gently shook his head and said decisively, "No need. I do not want anyone to take even an iota of my quasi fourth-rank Spiritual Liquid."

"This is something I must obtain; no one should dare to try to take a piece of it."

"Dear Advisor..."

Seeing this, Miao Jun’s expression changed instantly, wanting to persuade further.

However, by now, Yu Zoran and Yan Ming were already rapidly closing in on them.

Soon, the rushing escape light suddenly gathered, and their figures appeared clearly before everyone.

"Friend Miao, we meet again."

Yu Zoran’s gaze fell on Miao Jun, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth, with a gleam of malice flickering in his eyes.

The scene in which Miao Jun once suppressed him with the power of demon beasts was still vivid in his mind, as if it had happened yesterday, leaving him deeply resentful.
