Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 631 - 307: Transformation Schemes; Pill City Alliance

Chapter 631: Chapter 307: Transformation Schemes; Pill City Alliance

The difficulty is naturally immense.

But given his current Divine Sense strength, cultivating the first two layers might be pointless, wasting more time than directly cultivating the third layer.

Xu Ping calmed his heart and mind, closed his eyes, and began cultivating according to the Thousand Mechanism Skill’s mental method.

His Divine Sense, like strands of silk, weaved complex rune networks in the Sea of Consciousness.

Every rune required precise control, and each connection point could not afford the slightest deviation.

Time passed minute by minute, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Xu Ping’s forehead.

The cultivation of the Thousand Mechanism Skill consumed an enormous amount of Divine Sense, and even with his level of Divine Sense strength, he felt significant pressure.

Suddenly, a slight fluctuation appeared in the rune network within the Sea of Consciousness, causing Xu Ping to tighten his heart and quickly adjust his control.

But at this critical moment, the entire rune network suddenly collapsed, turning into nothingness.

"Alas..." Xu Ping opened his eyes, letting out a light sigh.

Another failure.

This was yet another attempt among countless others, with each falling short at the final moment.

The complexity of the third layer of the Thousand Mechanism Skill far exceeded his imagination; even with a strong foundation in Divine Sense for support, understanding it was no simple task.

However, Xu Ping had no thoughts of giving up, having grown accustomed to this cycle of repeated failures.

As long as he continued to try, there would be a day of success.

....

....

Time flies and a year passes in the blink of an eye.

Xu Ping had stayed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons for twelve years.

The incident with Yunqing Zhenren’s injury gradually subsided; although the issue with the damaged Golden Core had not been completely resolved, his life was no longer in danger, and his cultivation had recovered to seventy or eighty percent.

The internal investigation in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons had also concluded.

Several internal spies from the Red Sand Sect were thoroughly expelled, restoring the sect to its previous calm.

Xu Ping judged that the time was ripe to visit Blue Water Peak and meet with True Monarch Lan Ling to inquire about the shape transformation of the Water Lake Mouse.

...

Blue Water Peak soared into the clouds, enveloped in a light blue layer of Spiritual Qi, resembling a paradise floating amidst a sea of clouds.

The palace complex at the peak was arranged gracefully, with soaring eaves and jade structures, showcasing the extraordinary taste and status of the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"Please sit, fellow cultivator."

In the elegant and magnificent palace, True Monarch Lan Ling was seated in the upper jade chair.

She had a beautiful figure, with a delicate phoenix hairpin on her head, her hair coiled in a high bun, like a mountaintop.

A azure blue gown wrapped around her graceful figure, accentuating her extraordinary and refined aura, with bright lips and fresh teeth, her bewitching eyes were truly a stunning beauty.

"Greetings, True Monarch Lan Ling." Xu Ping cupped his hands in salute.

True Monarch Lan Ling nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Immediately, she raised her slender jade hand, brewing Fourth Rank Spirit Tea from a distance.

A fragrant mist swirled around her fingers, quickly condensing into a crystal-clear cup of tea, which floated gently to Xu Ping.

"Thank you, True Monarch."

Xu Ping accepted the cup and took a gentle sip.

A refreshing coolness instantly flowed through his throat, directly into his Dantian, like a clear spring coursing through his body’s meridians, making him feel rejuvenated and completely at ease.

"I wonder, fellow cultivator Yan, what urgent matter has brought you to me today?"

True Monarch Lan Ling set down the tea cup, smiled softly, and asked gently.

"True Monarch, you are indeed discerning. I do have a matter to request."

Xu Ping did not keep it a secret and directly stated his purpose:

"My Spirit Pet has reached the critical stage of shape transformation, although the contribution points to exchange for the Broken Demon Pill to condense the Demon Baby’s mysterious spirit have nearly sufficed, it has no confidence in passing the Heart Demon Tribulation."

His expression was sincere, and his tone was earnest: "I wonder if True Monarch Lan Ling has any special methods or treasures to help it smoothly overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Xu Ping paused and added: "I am willing to exchange for equivalent treasures."

"Methods or treasures to assist with the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Lan Ling slightly furrowed her brow, a hint of deep thought visible between her distant mountain-like brows.

Her clear eyes landed on Xu Ping, as if evaluating something.

This type of treasure is considered the most precious among Nascent Soul spiritual objects, extremely scarce even in a large sect like the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Even she, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, could not easily deploy it.

As for the auxiliary item for the demon beast’s shape transformation to aid its Heart Demon Tribulation that Elder Yan sought, it certainly couldn’t be casually offered.

True Monarch Lan Ling remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "To be honest, this item’s rarity is extremely high in the valley today."

"Even back when Daoist Di Xiang was transforming, he had to undertake immense risk for a breakthrough himself."

"This matter is difficult to achieve within the valley."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping did not feel too much disappointment.

He had mentally prepared himself before coming to Blue Water Peak.

After all, if such treasures were easily obtainable, they wouldn’t be so scarce in the Cultivation Realm.

"However,"

True Monarch Lan Ling’s tone shifted, her eyes sparkled with a subtle light, "Fellow cultivator Yan could try his luck at the Pill City Alliance in the Celestial South Realm."

"Pill City Alliance?"

Xu Ping raised an eyebrow.

The name of the Pill City Alliance was like thunder in his ears.

This was a neutral force established by several Fourth Rank Pill Masters and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, specializing in alchemy, enjoying high renown within the Cultivation Realm.

The Pill City Alliance, independent of any faction, uses its outstanding alchemy skills to serve cultivators from various sides. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Its reputation amongst numerous Loose Cultivators and small-to-medium factions is excellent, having even assisted several Loose Cultivator Golden Core Cultivators in crafting spiritual objects for breaking through to Nascent Soul!
