Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 643 - 311: Completion of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill (Part 2)

Chapter 643: Chapter 311: Completion of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill (Part 2)

Hongyi also appropriately showed a look of surprise, but a hint of triumphant smile flickered in his heart.

Ban Jing gave a light cough to conceal his inner excitement, "Little Friend Yan is indeed generous in trading. Naturally, I agree. However, I don’t wish to take advantage of Little Friend Yan."

He spoke in a gentle tone with a smile, "How about this, aside from the Purple Heart Dragon Saliva Grass, I will gift you another treasure, to keep things fair."

Xu Ping was taken aback upon hearing this, his eyebrows slightly raised, as he hadn’t anticipated this.

Logically speaking, being able to obtain the Thousand-Year Ice Crystal Heart Lotus, the other party should gladly accept, so why offer another treasure?

However, upon further consideration, it might be that Ban Jing did this to make him lower his guard for easier success.

"Then I will thank the senior for the generous gift." Xu Ping smiled slightly, accepting gladly.

Ban Jing nodded, took a green jade box from his sleeve, and inside was a purple plant lying quietly.

The plant was about the length of a finger, entirely deep purple, with dragon-shaped patterns flowing at the leaf veins, and a crystal-clear dewdrop hanging in the center, the legendary Purple Heart Dragon Saliva Grass.

He then took out a small jade talisman, handing it to Xu Ping:

"This is the ’Concealment Jade Talisman.’ Although not extraordinarily rare, it can temporarily hide one’s form and suppress aura in dangerous situations, thus a life-saving tool."

"Thank you, senior, for the treasure."

Xu Ping received the jade box, speaking sincerely.

If this talisman is indeed as Ban Jing said, it is certainly a rare treasure.

However, he clearly understood that even if this item was genuine, it would most likely be tampered with by the other party.

...

Upon completing the trade, Ban Jing and Hongyi did not linger, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

Before departing, Ban Jing gave Xu Ping a meaningful glance.

Yet Xu Ping saw all this but did not mind.

Instead, he entrusted the Thousand-Year Xuanyin Grass to the Celestial Alchemist for pill brewing.

The Celestial Alchemist gladly accepted and took all the materials, beginning preparations for the pill brewing venue and tools.

"It takes six days to refine the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill. Little Friend Yan, please wait patiently."

The Celestial Alchemist spoke calmly yet confidently. For this Fourth Rank Pill Master, although refining the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill posed difficulty, it was still within his grasp.

Xu Ping naturally had no objections.

.....

Six days passed swiftly.

The Celestial Alchemist’s pill brewing was finally nearing completion.

The Celestial Alchemist stood before a bronze ancient cauldron, reciting the alchemy incantations, with spiritual qi surging around him.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a burst of colorful radiance from the pill furnace, a smile appeared on the Celestial Alchemist’s face.

Within the radiance, two crystal-clear pills were faintly visible, slowly forming, engraved with complex patterns and seemingly with starlight swirling inside, emitting a mysterious aura.

"Fortunate to fulfill the mission!"

The Celestial Alchemist flicked his sleeve, and the two pills seemed to have life, flying into his palm, lying there quietly, emitting a faint glow.

"Finally... it’s done."

Seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Although he trusted the Celestial Alchemist’s pill refining skill, if it failed, the loss would be significant.

Moreover, with the dual assistance of the Xuanyin Demon Core and the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill, the Water Lake Mouse’s foundation and talent significantly increased the chance of breaking through to Fourth Rank being much higher than that of most Third Rank peak demon beasts.

Once the Water Lake Mouse achieves Fourth Rank, it can use demonic power to nourish him, assisting him in breaking through his own bottleneck.

At that time, even ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs wouldn’t be his match.

"Little Friend Yan, you’d better examine them first."

The Celestial Alchemist carefully placed the two Ten Thousand Tribulation Pills into a delicate jade bottle, then released them with a flick of his finger, shooting towards Xu Ping.

Xu Ping steadily caught the jade bottle and infiltrated with divine sense to carefully inspect the pill quality and spiritual power fluctuations.

A moment later, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face:

"The Celestial Alchemist is unparalleled in skill. These two Ten Thousand Tribulation Pills, the medicinal power is balanced, patterns are clear, pill core is solid, truly top quality."

"It’s good that Little Friend Yan is satisfied."

The Celestial Alchemist stroked his beard and nodded, with admiration in his eyes.

This Yan Ruchen, not only formidable in strength and wealthy, but also incredibly lucky.

Building a good relationship with such a character is naturally advantageous and harmless to him.

The Celestial Alchemist hesitated for a moment, then suddenly hinted a reminder: "However, Little Friend Yan, despite your extraordinary strength, the revealed wealth this time is more than enough to tempt Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so act very cautiously."

Hearing this, Xu Ping’s heart stirred.

The Celestial Alchemist clearly saw something, and this reminder was indeed earnest.

"Thank you, Celestial Alchemist, for the reminder. I understand." Xu Ping respectfully bowed.

After these encounters, he found that the Celestial Alchemist was quite righteous in conduct, unlike those self-serving cultivators.

No wonder Pill City Alliance has such a good reputation in the cultivation realm; if everyone were like the Celestial Alchemist in character, it would indeed be worthy of respect.

Xu Ping internally decided that when this matter is settled, if opportunity arose, he would definitely strive to get closer to the Celestial Alchemist.

He could expedite some Tier Four Longevity Pill materials and request the Celestial Alchemist to refine them, benefiting both parties.

...

An hour later, Xu Ping returned to the inn.

By now, his emotions stirred earlier at the Celestial Alchemist’s residence had completely calmed.

Having practiced to this level, concealing emotions had become instinctive; even if his heart was tumultuous, he could maintain a calm exterior.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the stone bed, closing his eyes in thought, starting to organize the upcoming plan.

"With the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill in hand, only the ambush on Ban Jing remains."
