Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 618 - 303: Rumors and Exclusion

Even the eyes of True Monarch Lan Ling, as deep as the stars, couldn’t conceal a hint of joy.

She looked at the Spirit Worm that had just broken through, with rare appreciation in her gaze.

After all, the successful breakthrough of the Spirit Worm held great significance for the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

"With the Spirit Worm’s breakthrough, its power has increased significantly, and now we can proceed to enhance the spirit veins in the valley."

True Monarch Lan Ling looked at Xu Ping, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Rest assured, True Monarch, I will certainly ensure that the Spirit Worm enhances the spirit veins of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons as agreed." Xu Ping nodded.

"That is excellent."

True Monarch Lan Ling nodded slightly, "The Fourth Rank Lower Grade spirit veins in the valley have always been a priority for cultivation. With the assistance of a high-grade Spirit Worm, the time required to cultivate them into Fourth Rank Middle Grade spirit veins will surely be greatly reduced."

"This is not only of great significance to the development of the valley but also an excellent opportunity for you to accumulate contribution points."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s heart was moved.

Although he already knew that the Spirit Worm could enhance the spirit veins of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he had not yet inquired about the specific rewards he could earn.

Thinking of the astronomical numbers needed to exchange for the Xuan Po Demon Core, he immediately asked:

"How many contribution points can the Spirit Worm earn by enhancing the spirit veins of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?"

"Three thousand per year." True Monarch Lan Ling replied.

"Three thousand, you say?"

Xu Ping pondered slightly, then nodded, "Then so be it."

Three thousand contribution points per year is indeed not a small number.

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the usual tasks completed by a regular Golden Core elder often do not reach this amount.

Especially in these times of constant disputes between the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Red Gauze Sect, the risk factor has increased, making it increasingly difficult to earn a large amount of contribution points safely.

However, Xu Ping also understood that the contribution points required to exchange for the Xuan Po Demon Core amounted to as much as three hundred thousand.

If he relied solely on the enhancement of spirit veins by the Spirit Worm, it would probably take a century to accumulate enough.

This path, though steady, is undoubtedly too long.

"Then I will have Yun Qing take you to the mission hall."

True Monarch Lan Ling nodded slightly, then transmitted a message via divine sense to summon Yunqing Zhenren.

Moments later, Yunqing Zhenren entered the hall.

He was still dressed in a pristine white feather robe, with an elegant appearance.

Seeing the Spirit Worm’s successful breakthrough, he was slightly surprised, then a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, Daoist Yan, on the Spirit Worm’s successful breakthrough, truly a great joy for the valley." Yunqing Zhenren said.

"The Spirit Worm’s breakthrough is thanks to True Monarch’s assistance." Xu Ping replied courteously.

"You two may go now."

True Monarch Lan Ling, without any abnormal expression, spoke faintly.

"Yes."

Xu Ping and Yunqing Zhenren answered respectfully in unison, then left Blue Water Peak, heading towards the mission hall of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Afterwards, Yunqing Zhenren led Xu Ping away from Blue Water Peak towards the mission hall.

...

The two walked in silence, the atmosphere slightly heavy.

Midway, Yunqing Zhenren suddenly broke the silence, casually inquiring, "I wonder if Daoist Yan has a Dao companion?"

"A Dao companion?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping was slightly startled, then shook his head with a peculiar expression, "My heart is solely focused on the Dao, I have no Dao companion, nor any intention of seeking one."

New to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Xu Ping naturally did not want to conflict with this outstanding talent of the valley and True Monarch Lan Ling’s favorite disciple.

He understood that there must be deeper implications to the question, so he straightforwardly stated his position.

"I see."

Yunqing Zhenren nodded indifferently.

Then, the two continued in silence to the mission hall.

Half an hour later.

After arranging everything, Xu Ping returned to Celestial Cyan Peak with the Spirit Worm.

Though the Spirit Worm had successfully broken through to the third rank, its cultivation following the breakthrough still required time to consolidate.

Only after thoroughly stabilizing its level can it begin the work of enhancing the spirit veins for the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

...

Deep within a subterranean cave in Celestial Cyan Peak.

Spirit Crystals embedded in the surrounding stone walls emitted a gentle light, illuminating the entire space warmly and brightly.

Xu Ping quietly sat cross-legged on a stone bed.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi, like tangible mist, softly surrounded him.

However, at this moment, Xu Ping’s mind was not at all on this comfortable cultivation environment; he frowned slightly, contemplating his next plans seriously.

"Now that the Spirit Worm has broken through, it’s time to plan for the Xuan Po Demon Core for the Shui Hu Mouse."

However, acquiring the Xuan Po Demon Core requires three hundred thousand contribution points, an extremely large figure.

To gather this amount of contribution points, completing a large number of tasks is essential.

Fortunately, due to the recent continuous conflicts between the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and the Red Gauze Sect, the valley has been issuing many tasks, so there’s no worry about having no tasks to undertake.

"However, before that, it’s still best to first cultivate the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill to perfection."

This skill not only relates to the enhancement of his divine sense but also to whether he can fully control the Shui Hu Mouse after it breaks through to the fourth rank.

Thinking this, Xu Ping was motivated and immediately opened the proficiency panel:

[Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill Mastered: 1501/1600].

...

"Still 99 points of proficiency away, at the current progress, it’s just over six years at most."

Thinking of this, a trace of anticipation crossed Xu Ping’s eyes.

Once the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill reaches perfection, the strength of his divine sense will definitely surpass the Golden Core level entirely.

Although it’s uncertain if it can reach the Nascent Soul threshold, it doesn’t matter even if it’s just short.

After all, it won’t be a problem to stabilize the divine sense imprint after the Shui Hu Mouse breaks through to the fourth rank.

Thinking this, Xu Ping took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and once again immersed himself in cultivation.

...

...

Time passed like a white colt crossing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, three years had quietly passed.
