Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 86 - 84: Transcendent Niu Mo (Tenth Update! Asking for First Subscription!)

Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Transcendent Niu Mo (Tenth Update! Asking for First Subscription!)

Inner Sect Hall.

Thread by thread, water-blue spiritual energy entwined around Ning Daoran’s fingertips, as if it had come to life.

“Junior Brother Ning really has cultivated the Rain Transformation Technique to the seventh layer!”

A Foundation Establishment Elder stared wide-eyed with excitement, “I didn’t expect that Junior Brother, just two years after his Foundation Establishment, has already advanced to a Third-tier Spirit Farmer. This is indeed a joyous occasion!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Ning Daoran happily said, “Our Qiongbi Peak has plenty of land. Old Lu and I can take care of quite a bit, so please, Senior Brother, give us more Purple Jade Spirit Rice. Don’t worry, Qiongbi Peak will ensure the Sect’s share is not lacking.”

...

“Where is this coming from, Junior Brother!”

The Foundation Establishment Elder sternly said, “Fifty kilograms of Purple Jade Spirit Rice seeds, is that enough?”

“That’s enough, thank you, Senior Brother!”

Soon after, Big Stupid Deer left carrying fifty kilograms of Purple Jade Spirit Rice seeds. Ning Daoran did not return directly to Qiongbi Peak, but instead, roamed both the Inner Sect Hall and the Outer Door Hall, effectively informing the entire Sect that he was now able to cultivate Third-tier Purple Jade Spirit Rice.

Afternoon.

Spiritual Field Courtyard, Qiongbi Peak, number 77.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer began sweating profusely, starting to cultivate the saplings of the Purple Jade Spirit Rice.

This Purple Jade Spirit Rice, ranked as a third-tier Spirit Plant, was completely different from the Green Bamboo Spirit Rice. Not only was it filled with denser spiritual energy, but it also demanded higher quality from both the Rain Transformation Technique and the Spirit field.

Fortunately, Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer were diligent enough to remove even pebble-sized stones from the Spirit field, and the soil was turned until it was exceptionally loose, all set for planting the saplings.

Late at night, the first batch of Purple Jade Spirit Rice was planted in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, covering close to three acres.

By the next morning, the Purple Jade Spirit Rice in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven had already grown into waist-high small trees, and by the afternoon, clusters of grape-like fruits had begun to hang on the trees.

These fruits, hidden under a layer of tender green skin, revealed densely packed Spirit Rice once peeled.

These grains of Spirit Rice were crystal clear and brimming with spiritual energy, a great nourishing treasure for cultivators below the Golden Core Stage. Long-term consumption of Purple Jade Spirit Rice could subtly enhance one’s cultivation, a well-recognized fact.

Unfortunately, across the entire Cultivation World, cultivators willing to spend time cultivating the Rain Transformation Technique to the seventh layer were few and far between, thus those capable of planting third-tier Spirit Rice were even rarer.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the True Disciples from the prestigious Ten Great Immortal Sects of Xia Country couldn’t imagine having Purple Jade Spirit Rice for every meal. Such luxury was beyond their wildest dreams.

Three days later.

Ning Daoran, Big Stupid Deer, and Chen Weimo had their first meal of Purple Jade Spirit Rice.

Upon entering their mouths, the fresh sweetness and the fragrance of plants filled their senses. After ingestion, it continuously digested into pure spiritual energy, nourishing their bodies and making their cultivation practice twice as effective with half the effort.

“Chen Weimo!”

Ning Daoran raised an eyebrow, “From today onwards, our household meals will be switched to Purple Jade Spirit Rice. You must cultivate diligently, quickly enter the Mid-stage of Qi Refinement, and don’t disappoint me!”

“I understand, Uncle!”

Chen Weimo stood straight, “Uncle, I’ll go cultivate right after I feed the fish!”

Ning Daoran looked on with approval. Although her talent was lacking, Chen Weimo’s attitude toward her practice was commendable, although whether she could reach the Foundation Establishment was still uncertain.

…

Time flowed.

Half a year later, the Purple Jade Spirit Rice in Spiritual fields number 77 and 79 on Qiongbi Peak were thriving, each having grown into purple waist-high trees, their fragrance wafting for miles and exceptionally delightful.

The other Spirit farmers in different fields envied them immensely.

On the field ridge, Ning Daoran washed his hands and took a short rest, while Chen Weimo rode Big Stupid Deer back and forth, laughter echoing.

“The Peak Master is truly remarkable. The growth of the Purple Jade Spirit Rice is so splendid, the mystery of the seventh layer of the Rain Transformation Technique is indeed enviable.”

Ma Quanyou, holding a smoking pipe, flattered profusely.

“Peak Master.”

Huang Shan pursed his lips, hesitating to speak; he originally wanted to ask about breaking through to the Mid-stage of Qi Refinement, but it seemed somewhat inappropriate.

“Huang Shan, ask if you want to ask.” Ning Daoran said.

“Yes!”

Huang felt as if pardoned, “When I practice the Body Tempering Technique, I always feel something is off, and I can’t seem to guide my cultivation to enter the Mid-stage of Qi Refinement. I wonder what the reason could be.”

“There’s nothing wrong with your Body Tempering Technique; the issue lies with your talent, which is inherently limited. Breaking through is naturally difficult.”

“Yes…”

Huang Shan fell silent, a sense of inexplicable disappointment in his heart.

“Peak Master.”

Qin Xiang put down his hoe and approached respectfully, “Since the Peak Master took over, you reduced the rent of the Spiritual Field by twenty percent. We still need to thank the Peak Master.”

“You’ve thanked me many times already, there’s no need to keep doing so.”

Ning Daoran said, “The extent to which you can cultivate in the future is not something I’m going to interfere with; just make sure you pay the rent on time each year.”

“Yes!”

The three Spirit Farmers nodded in agreement.

Huang Shan sat on the ridges feeling helpless.

On the left side of the ridge was his own First-tier Spirit Rice, and on the right was Ning Daoran’s Third-tier Spirit Rice. Both wafted a fragrant scent, but the difference was stark.

His own First-tier Spirit Rice was cheap, one Spirit Stone could buy ten kilograms. Even after a whole year of cultivation, he couldn’t earn many Spirit Stones.

On the other hand, Ning Daoran’s Purple Jade Spirit Rice was different. One kilogram could sell for two Spirit Stones, extremely expensive. Once Ning Daoran’s few acres of Purple Jade Spirit Rice were harvested, he could possibly earn thousands of Spirit Stones in one year!

Huang Shan sighed. Despite being so close, it felt like a world apart. The opportunity that Ning Daoran possessed was something he could never achieve in this lifetime.

…

Afternoon.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew into the Small Cloud Mist Array, fluttering about like a trapped dragonfly.

“Come.”

Ning Daoran raised his hand and pointed, the Small Cloud Mist Array dispersed, and the Sound Transmission Talisman flew into his hand, inside it recorded a message from Chen Ping’er:

“Fellow Daoist Ning, you mentioned Transcendent Niu Mo to me before, we finally have news about him. If you wish to know, you can come to Qingfu Square, and I will elaborate.”

‘Transcendent Niu Mo…’

Ning Daoran’s brows furrowed tightly, finally obtaining the whereabouts of this person. His mind was flooded with memories of more than twenty years ago when he first arrived at the Chaotic Sect, to that elder in the mid-stage of Qi Refinement Realm known as Old Sun.

Old Sun was the former owner of Spirit Field number 77, leaving many possessions of a cultivator to Ning Daoran when he left, which was actually a kind gesture.

Unfortunately, on his way back home, this Senior Brother Sun was killed by a Robbery cultivator named Transcendent Niu Mo.

“Old Lu, we’re stepping out, bring the gear!”

Ning Daoran called out.

“Ow?”

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Big Stupid Deer was surprised.

Ning Daoran’s expression turned solemn, “When we first came here, do you remember that Senior Brother Sun? The Spiritual Hoe in your hand was left by him.”

“Ow.” Big Stupid Deer nodded, obviously remembering.

Ning Daoran continued, “Senior Brother Sun retired and was killed by a Robbery cultivator named Transcendent Niu Mo on his way home. Now that I’ve found out Transcendent Niu Mo’s whereabouts, should we, as his junior brothers, seek revenge for Senior Brother Sun?”

“Ow ow ow~~~”

Big Stupid Deer’s forehead suddenly burst out with more than twenty cross veins!

…

Qingfu Square, in a private room.

Chen Ping’er offered a cup of fragrant tea, sitting opposite Ning Daoran with Big Stupid Deer also sitting nearby.

Her lips silently moved as she transmitted her voice: “I just received the news. Five hundred li west of the Chaotic Sect lies Qingniu Mountain, which harbors a Second-stage Lower Grade Spirit Vein. Originally, it was occupied by a Cultivation Family with the surname Li.

However, ten years ago, this Li Cultivating Family suffered a disaster, nearly wiped out. Later, a Foundation Establishment Expert named Master Liu took over this spirit vein.

He has taken many disciples and established a sect called ‘Liuyun Sect,’ it is said he now has several hundred disciples.”

As Chen Ping’er slightly smiled and continued transmitting: “This Master Liu is none other than the Robbery cultivator Transcendent Niu Mo. He recently gave himself away during an operation, which is how I got the news.”

“Qingniu Mountain… Liuyun Sect… Master Liu…”

Ning Daoran slowly murmured these names, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. This news is extremely important to me. Here is the payment for gathering the information, not much, but it’s a token of my appreciation.”

Saying this, he pushed out fifty Spirit Stones slowly.

“Fellow Daoist Ning.”

Chen Ping’er laughed lightly, “Ping’er has known you for many years, should we really be so formal over such a small matter? Please take back the Spirit Stones.”

“One thing at a time.”

Ning Daoran said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, deploying people to gather information costs Spirit Stones. Our friendship aside, business is business. Initially, I had no intention of having you help me for free.”

“Since you insist…”

Chen Ping’er accepted the Spirit Stones, “Transcendent Niu Mo was a Robbery cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment twenty years ago, and now he may have already advanced to mid-stage. If you really plan to act, you must fully consider everything.”

“Rest assured.”

Ning Daoran stood up and left, Big Stupid Deer moved into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, then transformed into a tunneling light, shooting straight towards Qingniu Mountain.

…

Five hundred li, for Ning Daoran’s tunneling speed, was just a moment as brief as a cup of tea.

Before long, a figure, like a falling leaf, descended silently into a millennial old tree stationed atop a mountain, perfectly overlooking the entire view of Liuyun Sect.

Inside the Sect, men and women moved continuously back and forth.

Ning Daoran watched for a while and decided not to make his move within Liuyun Sect.

The best method was to lure Transcendent Niu Mo out of Liuyun Sect and eliminate him outside.

And to lure out a former Robbery cultivator from a sect, naturally, a substantial bait was required.

…

Qingniu Square.

A market less than a few li from Liuyun Sect gathered nearby Loose Cultivators, having just recently opened.

“Shua!”

A figure descended amidst the clouds, it was Ning Daoran disguised as a gaunt old man, his cultivation restrained at the Perfect Qi Refining level, as this realm was most likely to attract the attention of Foundation Establishment Robbery cultivators.

Inside the market, stalls were as plentiful as clouds, mostly offering treasures suitable for the Qi Refinement Realm.

But deep within the market, there was a large tent covered by an invisible prohibition, requiring one Spirit Stone as an entry fee.

This place held a black market auction, a real den of stolen goods, rumored to be backed by that Foundation Establishment Ancestor from the Liuyun Sect, otherwise, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to organize such a high-level auction.

Ning Daoran paid one Spirit Stone and strode confidently into the auction.

All around him were cultivators of various colors and classes, most in the realms of Qi Refining Ninth Level and Perfect Qi Refining, all blocked by the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

“Kang~~~”

The sound of a gong rang, a beautiful female cultivator announced, “Next up for auction is a Mid-grade Magical Artifact, the Yanwei Shuttle. Although slightly flawed, it still can exert great power. The starting bid is one hundred fifty Spirit Stones. Interested Fellow Daoists can now bid.”

Ning Daoran frowned, feeling the auction to be rather bland.

After waiting for a while, the female cultivator finally presented something decent.

“Ladies and gentlemen,”

She flipped over her hand, revealing a thick tome, “Look here, this is the inheritance of a Second-Order Middle-Grade Array called the Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array. Would any Fellow Daoists be interested?”

“Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array?”

Suddenly, a large crowd of cultivators were dumbstruck, none yet speaking out.
