Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 745 - 345: Consuming the Fourth Rank Longevity Pill; Refining the Sword Array

Chapter 745: Chapter 345: Consuming the Fourth Rank Longevity Pill; Refining the Sword Array

This Tier Four Longevity Pill actually increased his lifespan by a full four hundred and fifty years, exceeding his expectations.

His lifespan had already broken the three thousand mark, reaching an astonishing three thousand four hundred and twenty-two years.

"The effect of the Tier Four Longevity Pill is already so amazing. If I could obtain the legendary Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid, its effects would probably be even more shocking!" Xu Ping couldn’t help but yearn for it, full of anticipation.

Unfortunately, over the years, even though he had been trying to find information about the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid, there was no trace of it.

This kind of heavenly and earthly spiritual object is undoubtedly something that one can only come across by chance.

"Perhaps going to the Wind Origin Realm would yield some results!" Xu Ping thought to himself in contemplation.

As the Wind Origin Realm is a higher level realm that is more vast and resource-rich than the Nanchuan Realm, the chances of obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid would naturally be greater.

However, for now, the most important thing is to fully digest this hard-earned good fortune and make thorough preparations for the imminent dragon hunting expedition.

...

After spending a few more days refining all the remaining medicinal power of the Tier Four Longevity Pill, Xu Ping started collecting materials for refining the sword array in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Although there were still eight years before the campaign against the Flood Dragon, refining array swords is not an easy task and requires plenty of preparation in advance.

Even with the Nascent Soul True Flame, refining would be a significant drain on him.

Three months passed quietly.

Cyan Cloud Peak, in the artifact refining chamber.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged in midair, his posture straight and his breath steady.

Mana surged around him, forming a faint azure aura that completely isolated interference from the outside world.

At his feet, various rare treasures were arranged neatly.

In front of Xu Ping was a profound array emitting a scorching aura.

Among the array, the most striking were the seventy-two pieces of crystalline Flame Prison Purple Wood.

Each piece was the length of an adult’s arm, with a deep jade-like hue, and a faint purple glow circulating inside, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

"Let’s begin!"

Xu Ping steadied his mind, formed seals with his hands, and chanted profound incantations.

In an instant, within his Sea of Consciousness, the Nascent Soul opened its eyes and spat out a mass of azure-green flame.

This was the Nascent Soul True Flame, several times more powerful than ordinary True Flame.

The next moment.

The array activated, and the array flags were engraved with profound symbols, each symbol flashing with different rays of light.

With the array’s augmentation, the power of the Nascent Soul True Flame increased even further.

Under the roasting of the True Flame, the Flame Prison Purple Wood began to slowly soften, and the impurities inside were refined out one by one, leaving only the purest essence.

"The art of artifact refining values tranquility." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xu Ping stared intently at the wood before him, constantly adjusting the temperature of the True Flame.

This first flying sword determined the success or failure of the entire sword array.

If there were any errors, the remaining seventy-one would not be guaranteed to be of consistent quality, greatly diminishing the sword array’s power.

Therefore, Xu Ping dared not be the least bit careless, devoting his entire mind and body to the refining process.

As time ticked away, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Once the Flame Prison Purple Wood had been refined to leave only a strand of pure essence, Xu Ping slightly moved his fingers, and a wisp of his mind sank into the array.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The various materials at his feet, under the guidance of his mind, flew into the True Flame in succession, being refined bit by bit, and fused into the magic sword.

This process was very lengthy, lasting for a month and a half.

Inside the artifact refining chamber, Xu Ping’s complexion appeared slightly fatigued, but his eyes shimmered with excitement.

Before him, a flying sword completely purple-red, covered with flame patterns on its blade, floated midair, emanating powerful ripples.

"Success!"

Xu Ping murmured, his eyes brimming with joy.

Through his meticulous refinement, this first flying sword had reached the level of a half-step Spirit Treasure.

Though not yet a true Spirit Treasure, its power far exceeded ordinary magic weapons.

According to his plan, with seventy-two half-step Spirit Treasures of consistent quality and his life-bound Spirit Treasure, the Canghua Divine Wood Sword as the array hub, the sword array would definitely pose a threat to a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giant.

Suppressing his excitement, Xu Ping, after regaining some mana, began refining the second flying sword.

With the experience from the first one, the refining of the second went noticeably smoother.

In this way, one flying sword after another was born under Xu Ping’s refinement.

Each sword was nearly identical to the first, matching in pattern, length, and thickness.

Though aided by a proficiency panel, the refining process was far more difficult and strenuous than Xu Ping imagined.

Each flying sword required a vast expenditure of mental energy and mana.

Though the Nascent Soul True Flame was powerful, its consumption was also extremely high.

Xu Ping had to frequently pause to recuperate his mana before continuing the refining.

...

Just as Xu Ping was refining the sword array, a Celestial Alchemist arrived at the Celestial South Sea.

In the Celestial South Sea, the waves spanned miles, vast as the sky.

At the horizon where sea and sky blend, streaks of blue Spiritual Qi swam serpentine atop the sea, darting and spiralling.

Here, the Spiritual Qi was rich, containing endless Water Element essence, making it an excellent place to cultivate Water Element cultivation techniques.

Water Wave Pavilion, Blue Water Hall.

"Celestial Alchemist, how have you been?"

True Monarch Yuntao rose to greet, his face adorned with a courteous smile.

He wore a water-blue robe, his temples slightly white, and his brows exuded a sense of weariness.

"Yuntao Daoist friend, you’re too polite." The alchemist responded with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down as host and guest.

An attendant served Spirit Tea, the fragrance of tea curling and spreading throughout the hall, invigorating the spirit.

"May I ask what brings Celestial Alchemist here today?" True Monarch Yuntao inquired directly.
