Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 519 - 271: Sword Array Unleashed (Part 4)

Defeating a Late-Stage Golden Core Cultivator and killing a Late-Stage Golden Core Cultivator are completely two different concepts.

Moreover, Yan Ming is even more formidable than the average Late-Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

Unless I reveal something more, trying to keep him here would be quite difficult.

"Master."

As a shadow flickered by like a ghost, the Water Lake Rat scurried up to Xu Ping, wearing a fawning expression.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping merely nodded slightly, his expression calm as if the intense battle just now was a mere trifle to him.

At this moment, Miao Jun also arrived beside Xu Ping with his Escape Light, a hint of respect in his eyes:

"Yan, we owe it to you today. Without you, our Purple Mountain Association would have suffered greatly at the hands of these two."

Now, Yan Ruchen’s divine techniques are almost on par with those of a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator, despite him merely being an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

The difference is so vast that it naturally inspires awe.

"These two were clearly here for the Spiritual Liquid in the mine, and I naturally wouldn’t let them succeed."

As Xu Ping spoke, he methodically summoned back the thirty-six flying swords.

What he said was the truth. If the Spiritual Liquid in the mine wasn’t near Fourth Rank, he definitely wouldn’t have bothered to engage in battle with them.

"After what you’ve done today, Yan, your name will probably spread throughout the Wind Country."

Miao Jun chuckled, his face beaming with smiles, seizing the chance to flatter Xu Ping.

In the entire Wind Country, there are very few cultivators with the combat power of a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator.

Although Xu Ping is surely far from being the best among some of the top Golden Core Cultivators, he is definitely top-notch in the Wind Country.

"It’s just empty fame."

Xu Ping was indifferent to this. It was Yan Ruchen who was in the spotlight, not Li Feiyu.

As long as they weren’t those Golden Core Perfection Cultivators with extraordinary Divine Sense or even stronger Nascent Soul Cultivators, they simply couldn’t see through his disguise.

"Besides, although Yan Ming’s duo has left, that Third-Rank Upper Grade Demon Beast is still inside. Our primary task is to acquire the remaining near Fourth Rank Spiritual Liquid."

Saying this, Xu Ping slightly raised his head, his eyes sharp, gazing straight into the depths of the mine.

"How does Yan plan to force that Third-Rank Demon Beast out?"

"Should I send a couple of miners in?" Miao Jun’s eyes flashed, suggesting.

To him, even sacrificing a dozen or even dozens of miners to force that Third-Rank Demon Beast out would be worthwhile.

Once it’s out, with Yan’s combat power, he could surely injure or even kill it.

"No need."

Xu Ping shook his head decisively, "I have my own way."

Using human lives to draw out the Third-Rank Upper Grade Demon Beast, such a method is not only inefficiently pitiful but also incredibly ruthless.

Countless innocent miners’ precious lives would be needlessly wasted to achieve the goal.

In Xu Ping’s view, there’s no need to adopt such a cruel approach.

Moreover, he has a better way.

...

An hour later,

Xu Ping methodically planted Array Flags at every Spirit Vein node in the mine.

These Array Flags were ancient in design, inscribed with complex and mysterious runes, faintly emitting a strange glow in the dim light. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Miao Jun had been observing Xu Ping’s actions the whole time. Initially, he was full of confusion, but as Xu Ping’s actions gradually neared completion, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Yan is planning to trigger a Spiritual Qi turbulence?" Miao Jun asked curiously.

He himself was an Array Master, though his attainments in array theory were only Second-stage Middle Grade, he still had some understanding of higher-grade arrays.

Seeing Xu Ping set up Array Flags at the Spirit Vein nodes, he immediately guessed Xu Ping’s intention.
