Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 691 - 327: Undercurrents Surging

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior sister Zhaoxue, now that the Great Yu Country is destroyed, is there any movement from those demonic cultivators?"

True Monarch Lan Ling’s eyes flickered slightly, and upon hearing this, she sighed, "This is indeed the most worrying."

"After the fall of the Great Yu Country, the Tu royal family has actually allowed those demonic cultivators to establish a presence on the former territory of the Great Yu Country."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping frowned, a sense of warning arising in his heart.

Demonic cultivators stationed in the Great Yu Country?

Is the Great Xia Country preparing to join the Six Demon Countries Alliance?

The Great Xia Country was originally a neutral nation, situated between the Orthodoxy’s One Qi Alliance and the Six Demon Countries Alliance, always maintaining a delicate balance.

Now, is it ready to break this balance and openly involve itself in the struggle between the Six Demon Countries Alliance and the One Qi Alliance?

Once this occurs, great upheaval is feared to take place in the Great Xia Country.

However, with the impending invasion of the Wind Origin Realm, the two major powers should not engage in any large-scale conflicts.

After all, faced with the common external enemy of realm invaders, internal conflicts become insignificant.

Moreover, the demonic mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who once pursued him hasn’t joined the battlefield between the two countries.

This is a small fortune amidst misfortune.

In this way, even if the Great Xia Country joins the Six Demon Countries Alliance, it should not immediately affect him.

Over these years, Xu Ping had investigated the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, learning some information about him.

This person named Blood Demon True Monarch is highly skilled in blood demon cultivation techniques, and the "Nine Transformations of the Blood Demon" he practices is a top-level demonic cultivation technique of tremendous power.

Compared to the general mid-stage Nascent Soul giants, he is even stronger by a margin.

Xu Ping estimates that only after he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage will he barely be able to contend with him.

....

Time slipped by, and in a mere span of two months, an instant passed.

On this day, outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, two streams of light pierced through the sky, as Water Lake Mouse and True Monarch Earth Elephant returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Their return has also stabilized the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons completely.

Meanwhile, an earth-shattering piece of news spread like a clap of thunder through several nearby nations.

The Great Xia Country has officially joined the Six Demon Countries Alliance!

This news, like a thunderclap, spread to every corner of the Great Xia Country, causing countless cultivators shock and fear.

The Six Demon Countries Alliance, what a notorious name is that?

It is said that it includes demonic cultivators who are as bloodthirsty as life itself, practicing evil techniques, refining living beings, and having long-term battles with the One Qi Alliance.

Now that the entire Great Xia Country has leaned towards it, isn’t it willingly descending into the demonic way?

However, no one dares to oppose the Tu royal family’s decision.

In this cultivation realm where strength is revered, the Tu royal family’s majesty cannot be challenged.

Even a Nascent Soul level sect like the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons can only silently accept this reality.

In the underground cave mansion of Celestial Cyan Peak.

"Master."

Years apart, there is a more murderous aura on Water Lake Mouse, with a cold gleam flashing between its brows, but upon seeing Xu Ping, it still maintains its fawning smile.

"Hmm."

Xu Ping looked at his spirit pet and nodded slightly, then inquired, "Did you expose your Divine Power Seal during this time?"

"No."

Water Lake Mouse shook its head, "This little Mouse has always adhered to the master’s orders and did not reveal it to anyone." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But then, its tone shifted, a trace of guilt flashing in its eyes, "However, the task the master assigned, I did not complete very well."

Xu Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating it to continue.

"My contribution points were not enough to exchange for a Nascent Soul Pill, only for one of its main medicines — the Nascent Soul Fruit."

Water Lake Mouse flipped its palm, and a spirit fruit exuding a special fragrance appeared in its hand.

The entirety of the spirit fruit was as lustrous as jade, containing a seven-colored halo within, and quivered slightly, as if pulsing with life.

Gazing at the Nascent Soul Fruit in Water Lake Mouse’s hand, Xu Ping’s eyes lit up.

Having a Nascent Soul Fruit is not bad, and can even be considered an unexpected gain.

After all, as the main ingredient for a Nascent Soul Pill, it is difficult to obtain.

Although other supporting spirit medicines are also precious, as long as one is willing, they can be gradually accumulated over time.

"Well done, you’ve worked hard all these years."

Xu Ping carefully took the Nascent Soul Fruit, placing it in a jade box, his smile growing.

"Serving the master, it is not hard at all."

Water Lake Mouse’s fawning expression grew even stronger.

This trip out, with no one to control it, was a good opportunity for it to let off steam, having nothing to do with hardship.

Subsequently, Xu Ping inquired about the details at the front line, and Water Lake Mouse truthfully informed him.

Thereafter, Xu Ping encouraged Water Lake Mouse a few words, letting it first rest and recover the primordial qi exhausted over years on the battlefield.

Water Lake Mouse left joyfully, while Xu Ping returned to the chamber, contemplating alone.

"Now that I have the Nascent Soul Fruit, the Nascent Soul Pill shows signs."

Seated on a stone bed, Xu Ping’s thoughts turned.

"With the foundation and connections of a Celestial Alchemist, the remaining materials to refine the Nascent Soul Pill should be gradually acquired."

His gaze profound as he considers the next steps: "However, there’s no need to rush this matter too much."

"It’s not too late to seek out a Celestial Alchemist once I reach Golden Core Perfection and the situation stabilizes."

Xu Ping stored the Nascent Soul Fruit properly and resumed cultivating.

In the cultivation realm, the greatest taboo is being hasty for quick success.

...

...

Time flies, and another two years passed.

During these five years, great upheaval took place within the Great Xia Country’s borders.

Numerous cultivators from the Six Demon Countries Alliance poured in, establishing strongholds across the nation, spreading demonic cultivation techniques.

And after destroying the Great Yu Country and obtaining the National Treasure, the Tu royal family’s prestige soared even further.

Yet, they have not made any grand motions, instead adopting a somewhat low profile.
