Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 712 - 334: Surprising Gains

Xu Ping’s luck was quite good; these people surprisingly had gathered materials for a Fourth Rank Puppet.

Fourth Rank Puppet materials are always scarce, so complete sets are rarely obtained, even for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, he possessed enough materials for two and a half Fourth Rank Puppets.

Once he reaches Nascent Soul, he will be able to refine the Fourth Rank Puppets.

Then, he can upgrade his Puppet Array.

At that time, with two Fourth Rank Puppets leading, integrating ten Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppets in the array, he will have absolute confidence in contending with Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators!

...

Huh?

While the two were busy distributing the spoils, Hongyi suddenly made a soft "huh" sound, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Xu Ping looked up, seeing Hongyi holding in his hand a completely jet-black jade slip, wrapped in eerie spiritual light; the jade slip was found from the storage ring of the black-robed demon cultivator.

Hongyi’s Divine Sense lightly probed in, and in an instant, it was filled with an extremely profound stream of information.

The content of the jade slip gradually unfolded in his mind.

His expression changed from surprise to solemnity, and finally, into a bit of inexplicable consideration, with a complex gleam in his eyes, as if weighing an important decision.

"This item seems suitable for you, my friend."

After a moment of silence, Hongyi flicked his finger, sending that jet-black jade slip shooting towards Xu Ping like a meteor.

"Suitable for me?"

Xu Ping slightly raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly reaching out to catch the jade slip securely.

The jade slip felt cool to the touch, yet carried an indescribable weight, as if it could not be attributed to mere jade stone.

Even more peculiar was that from time to time, a golden pattern flashed across its surface, flowing like a living thing.

Curiosity aroused, Xu Ping infused his Divine Sense into it.

In an instant, four golden characters blazed in his Sea of Consciousness like a scorching sun—[Nirvana Golden Body].

"Is this a Body Refining Technique?"

Xu Ping immediately understood the nature of the jade slip’s content, his face naturally showing a strong interest.

However, as his understanding deepened, Xu Ping’s mood shifted from curiosity to shock, and finally into unbelievable astonishment.

His pupils slightly contracted, and his breathing became somewhat rapid, as if he had seen something hard to believe.

According to the jade slip’s description, this [Nirvana Golden Body] is a supreme body refining Taoist skill, incomparable to ordinary body refining techniques.

This Cultivation Technique is divided into three stages.

Each stage contains supreme mysteries and profound meanings, enticing beyond measure.

However, while the ideal is rich, the reality is quite stark.

To cultivate the first stage, it requires a Fourth Rank Body Refining Cultivator as a foundation, which in the Nanchuan Realm is almost an unattainably demanding level.

Fourth Rank Body Refining Cultivators are scarcer than even Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Nanchuan Realm.

And that’s just the entry threshold.

Even more astonishing are the miraculous treasures required for cultivation, utterly inconceivable.

Things like "Nine Yang Divine Marrow", "Ten Thousand Year Spirit Marrow Jade", "Nine Heavens Gale Essence"; Xu Ping could at least have heard of these.

But materials like "Nirvana Blood", he’s never even heard of, nor could he speculate on its attributes or origins.

Yet, despite the [Nirvana Golden Body]’s threshold being dauntingly high and the resource demand extravagantly outrageous, its power is equally astounding.

Completing the first stage alone could allow one to contend with Divinity Transformation cultivators, what kind of state is that?

And this is merely the first stage!

As for the second and third stages, the jade slip only makes brief mentions, each word and phrase hinting at apocalyptic power.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense from the jade slip, Xu Ping couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile: "Even if this skill is authentic, its difficulty seems excessive; even those within the Divinity Transformation Sect might struggle to cultivate it."

This Cultivation Technique, though excellent, is like the distant moon, worthy of admiration but unreachable.

Cultivators in the Nanchuan Realm likely find even the first stage’s threshold hard to touch.

"But it at least serves as a distant dream." Hongyi chuckled lightly, a relaxed demeanor with a subtle, mysterious gleam in his eyes.

He had read through the Cultivation Technique and was aware of its difficulty.

The entire Nanchuan Realm might struggle to find someone capable of mastering this skill.

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of dark energy emerged from between Hongyi’s brows, swiftly coalescing into the shadowy figure of the Nine Nether Elder.

The Nine Nether Elder floated mid-air, his eyes gleaming with curiosity unusual for him: "Xu boy, will you let me have a look at this Cultivation Technique?"

Xu Ping dared not delay, holding up the jade slip with both hands reverently.

The Nine Nether Elder took the jade slip and swept through it with his Divine Sense, memorizing its contents in an instant.

His eyes shifted from focused to playful, finally revealing a meaningful smile.

"Interesting, it turns out to be a Demon Race Body Refining Technique," the Nine Nether Elder softly remarked, his tone filled with surprise.

"A Demon Race Body Refining Technique?"

Hearing this, both Hongyi and Xu Ping were stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Demon Race?

What kind of race is that?

They had never heard of it!

In the Nanchuan Realm, the Human Race, Demon Race, Ghost Race, Demon Cultivators, Orthodoxy, and Evil Cultivators are common distinctions.

But the term "Demon Race" was completely unfamiliar.

The Nine Nether Elder saw their bewildered expressions and couldn’t help but chuckle: "You young ones have naturally never heard of it, as the Demon Race is a race of the upper realms."

"A race of the upper realms?"

Both Hongyi and Xu Ping’s faces immediately changed, as if they had heard something incredible, they were left speechless with amazement.

In the Cultivation Realm, the term "upper realms" is like a legend, a myth, an aspiration and dream in every cultivator’s heart.

How many years has it been since the Nanchuan Realm had a cultivator ascend to the upper realms?

And now, this ’Nirvana Golden Body’ is indeed from the upper realms, its origins far beyond their imagination.
