Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 673 - 321: Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet Master

Chapter 673: Chapter 321: Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet Master

"With the materials gifted by True Monarch Yun Qing and True Monarch Lan Ling, I’ve finally gathered all the needed cores for the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppets." Xu Ping’s eyes flickered, calculating in his heart.

With the aid of the skill panel, the likelihood of failure in puppet refining was nearly nonexistent.

This was his greatest advantage and the key reason he could smoothly refine the Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppets.

He only needed to proceed methodically to refine the remaining five puppets one by one and he would have a trump card powerful enough to deter Nascent Soul Cultivators.

As for refining a Fourth Rank Puppet, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it.

But the difficulty was too high; without achieving Nascent Soul Formation, even with the skill panel, it would likely be very hard for him to succeed.

...

Several days later. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Xu Ping was meditating in his underground cave abode with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he sensed a Communication Talisman breaking through the air, penetrating through the array outside the cave and flying straight towards his location.

He reached out to catch it and lightly swept it with his Divine Sense, causing his brow to slightly furrow as a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"True Monarch Lan Ling wants to discuss something, and she also wants me to bring the Water Lake Mouse along?"

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, feeling a bit uncertain.

Usually, when True Monarch Lan Ling had something to discuss, she would most call for him alone and never requested him to bring the Water Lake Mouse.

Why specifically emphasize that they go together this time?

What exactly is happening?

Suppressing the many speculations in his heart, Xu Ping quickly sent a message to the cultivating Water Lake Mouse, preparing to head to Blue Water Peak together.

...

Before long, one person and one mouse arrived at the main peak of Blue Water Peak and were led into a magnificent grand hall, resplendent in gold and jade.

As soon as they entered, Xu Ping sensed the unusual atmosphere.

Besides True Monarch Lan Ling, Demon Monarch Earth Elephant and True Monarch Yun Qing were also present, all three of them with solemn expressions, seemingly discussing some important matter.

"It truly seems a major event has occurred." Xu Ping thought to himself, yet his face remained calm.

"Fellow Daoist Yan and Demon Monarch Purple Abyss have arrived."

A slight smile appeared on True Monarch Lan Ling’s delicate face.

She was dressed in a long blue dress, her hair elegantly tied up, exuding an aura of elegance and authority. However, compared to her usual radiant self, she was noticeably more grave today.

After Xu Ping and Purple Abyss were seated, True Monarch Lan Ling wasted no time in pleasantries and directly got to the point:

"Today, I received a communication from the Tu Clan Royal Family. In less than a hundred years, due to the spatial tides, the Nanchuan Realm will form multiple stable space channels with the Wind Origin Realm."

Upon saying this, True Monarch Lan Ling’s expression grew even more serious.

"This means that cultivators from the Wind Origin Realm will be able to enter our Nanchuan Realm on a large scale."

Though she had never experienced a realm invasion herself, there were records of it in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

The last realm invasion had completely destroyed many powerful sects, countless cultivators perished, and the entire structure of the Nanchuan Realm was altered as a result.

It’s not just the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons; even giant forces like the Tu Clan Royal Family faced dire threats to their survival.

"Is such a thing happening?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping feigned shock, his face showing an expression of horror.

Although he had long been aware of this, he remained impassive, playing the role of one first hearing the bad news.

"Alas."

True Monarch Lan Ling sighed lightly, "A realm invasion is a calamity for the entire Nanchuan Realm."

"Within it, our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is like a leaf in a storm, at risk of capsizing at any moment."

"So, was today’s invitation for me and the Water Lake Mouse from True Monarch Lan Ling to discuss how to deal with the realm invasion?" Xu Ping seemed to force himself to calm down, asking gravely.

True Monarch Lan Ling shook her head and said: "That is just one aspect; more importantly, the Tu Clan Royal Family plans to wage war on the Great Yu Country and needs the support of our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."

"Wage war on the Great Yu Country?"

Xu Ping was slightly taken aback, involuntarily frowning.

Although the Great Yu Country was not as prosperous as the Great Xia Country, it still had a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul sovereign overseeing it.

Why attack the Great Yu Country at this time, with the Wind Origin Realm’s invasion looming?

Was it simply to unify the two countries?

As if reading Xu Ping’s doubts, True Monarch Lan Ling continued to explain: "The National Treasure of the Great Yu Country and that of the Tu Clan Royal Family were originally one."

"If they can be combined into one, it would dramatically enhance the power of their Spirit Treasure."

"At that time, even if a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator came personally, relying on the Spirit Treasure, we could still contend with them."

"So that’s how it is."

Xu Ping had a sudden realization.

No wonder the Tu Clan Royal Family chose to wage war on the Great Yu Country at this time.

If they could indeed obtain the Great Yu Country’s National Treasure, the chances of safely weathering the realm invasion would be considerably high.

The Demon Monarch Earth Elephant added: "The Tu Clan Royal Family’s strength can also extend somewhat to our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."

"Moreover, less than a hundred years is nothing for us cultivators; if we are to calmly face the realm invasion, we must start preparing now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping understood what they meant.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons should assist the Tu Clan Royal Family in attacking the Great Yu Country.

But if that is the case, he and the Water Lake Mouse probably cannot avoid going to the front lines to confront the Great Yu Country’s experts and engage in battle.

Xu Ping’s brow imperceptibly furrowed, already beginning to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

"Our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons belongs to the Great Xia Country, and naturally cannot refuse the Tu Clan Royal Family’s orders."

After a moment of silence, True Monarch Lan Ling slowly said, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "The Tu Clan Royal Family demands that our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons contribute at least three Nascent Soul combat powers."

"Three Nascent Soul combat powers?"

Xu Ping’s suspicions were confirmed in his heart.
