Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 695 - 328: Golden Core Perfection, Demonic Nascent Soul

Chapter 695: Chapter 328: Golden Core Perfection, Demonic Nascent Soul

"The bloodline of this Rat Demon is truly extraordinary, its aura is restrained, and its foundation deep. It seems to be a rare mutated bloodline." True Monarch Yue Qian’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

Immediately, he turned his gaze towards the Snake Demon Monarch: "Ten Thousand Snakes, how confident are you in breaking through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade if you devour this Rat Demon?"

The Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch’s eyes were ghostly red, with vertical pupils as cold as two lamps of blood, and it kept flicking its long snake tongue:

"This Rat Demon’s bloodline is perhaps even more extraordinary than you imagine." Greed and desire flashed in its eyes.

"Even with my strength, taking it down won’t be easy."

"Is this Rat Demon really so strong?" Hearing this, the two True Monarchs couldn’t help but be surprised.

One must know, the Water Lake Rat just recently broke through to Fourth Rank, its cultivation is still shallow, while Ten Thousand Snakes has approached the peak of Fourth Rank Lower Grade, with deep strength.

More importantly, there’s a bloodline restraining relationship between the two.

Snakes prey on rats—this is the iron rule of nature, particularly apparent in the Demon Race world.

Logically, that Rat Demon shouldn’t withstand more than a few rounds against Ten Thousand Snakes.

"So if you devour this Rat Demon, how confident are you in breaking through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade?"

True Monarch Yue Qian was silent for a moment, then his eyes flashed with brilliance, his tone full of interest.

This question was what he was most concerned about; it was also the core of the entire plan.

He and Ten Thousand Snakes belong to a sect within the Six Demon Countries Alliance. If Ten Thousand Snakes becomes stronger, their influence within the Alliance would also increase.

"If I can devour such a top-grade supplement, I, at least, hope to increase my chances of breaking through to Fourth Rank Mid-stage by two to three percent."

The Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch flicked its snake tongue, licked its lips, its pupils red as blood, showing uncontrollable greed.

"Two to three percent?" True Monarch Yue Qian’s heart trembled.

Such a high success rate, it’s hardly comparable even to some top-grade pills.

Moreover, it can enhance the bloodline foundation. If one successfully breaks through to Middle Grade, it may even increase a sliver of hope for impacting Upper Grade.

Such long-term benefits have a deadly allure for cultivators pursuing immortality.

"It’s just that Yan Ruchen is not easy to deal with." True Monarch Yue Qian calmed down, his brow furrowed.

His puppet array is too formidable, combined with the Rat Demon; even if the three of them join forces, it’s likely difficult to take them down.

"We three indeed struggle to take them down, but with True Monarch Yue Qian’s connections in the Six Demon Countries, bringing in one or two formidable Demon Monarchs shouldn’t be a problem!"

True Monarch Chixiao suddenly spoke, his eyes glinting with a cold light.

True Monarch Yue Qian glanced at him without speaking.

Of course, he understood the other’s intentions—just wanting to use him to eliminate Yan Ruchen, removing a potential threat for the Red Sand Sect.

Yet, this bloodline-mutated Rat Demon is indeed a rare great supplement. The temptation is strong enough to let him overlook True Monarch Chixiao’s petty thoughts; he cared little for these minor details.

But how to plot against that Rat Demon needs a well-thought-out plan.

...

Two days later, at Dan Yun City’s gates.

A tall, robust man entered the gates, his rugged face covered with a dense beard, looking exceedingly ordinary.

This man was Xu Ping, who had already used a special Secret Technique to alter his appearance and aura, even Nascent Soul Cultivators could hardly see through it.

As for the Water Lake Rat, it stayed hidden within the Spirit Beast pouch; although it was uncomfortable for a Fourth Rank Demon Monarch carrying a Spirit Beast pouch, in the short term, it wouldn’t be a problem.

After entering the city, Xu Ping didn’t immediately seek out the Celestial Alchemist, but instead went to an inn named "Wandering Inn".

This was the agreed contact point with Hongyi, convenient for exchanging messages.

Although there was a Super Long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman, Hongyi often wandered, hence couldn’t be directly contacted.

Therefore, leaving letters at a fixed location became the most reliable way to communicate.

Xu Ping inquired at the inn’s shopkeeper, obtained the letter left for him by Hongyi.

This letter had special Secret Techniques applied, only those who knew the special Spell could open it; forcefully cracking it would lead to the letter’s self-destruction.

Xu Ping rented a guest room, cautiously using Secret Techniques to open the letter.

Gradually, the writing on the letter emerged, and Xu Ping read carefully.

The letter was left five years ago.

It narrated how Hongyi found a clue to an ancient secret realm and had gone to explore, likely not returning soon.

The letter also informed Xu Ping that if anything arises, he can leave a letter at the inn, which Hongyi would read upon his return.

"Such a pity."

After reading, a trace of disappointment crossed Xu Ping’s mind.

He had intended to join forces with Hongyi to slay True Monarch Chixiao and others, but now he had to rearrange his plans.

Nevertheless, he still chose to leave a letter for Hongyi, instructing him to find himself in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons after returning from the secret realm.

This letter was similarly sealed with a special enchantment, ensuring only Hongyi could open and read it.

...

Half a month later.

The brawny man disguising as Xu Ping arrived at the Celestial Alchemist’s residence bearing a visit note.

Fifteen minutes later.

Led by a maid, Xu Ping entered a living room.

In the hall sat an old man with flowing white hair, though he was already in his seventies, his eyes were sharp, his spirit vibrant, exuding an immortal aura.

After the maid served fragrant Spirit Tea, she quietly left, leaving Xu Ping and the Celestial Alchemist alone together.

"Young friend Yan’s disguise technique truly opened my old eyes."

The Celestial Alchemist Le Qingxiao stroked his beard and smiled, his voice gentle yet tinged with surprise.

This Yan Ruchen is not only comparable in battle power to a Nascent Soul Early-stage Peak cultivator, 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

but even his disguise Secret Technique reveals no flaws, remarkably surprising him.

In the Cultivation Realm, disguise techniques are common, yet tricking a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator’s Divine Sense is extremely rare.

"It’s merely a minor trick."

Xu Ping smiled slightly, removed his disguise, resuming Yan Ruchen’s true appearance.

After a few pleasantries, Xu Ping went straight to the point: "Celestial Alchemist, I came today primarily to request your help in crafting a Nascent Soul Pill."
