Chapter 610: Chapter 300: Conditions; Deal_2
"Should I take this Spiritual Spring along as well?"
Xu Ping instinctively touched his chin, falling into brief contemplation.
After pondering for a moment, he reached a decision in his heart—take it!
This Spiritual Spring is rather rare, not to mention it can enhance the Spiritual Qi in the cave and nourish withered wood.
As for the Purple Mountain Association and Miao Jun, it would be fine to compensate them appropriately later.
With his mind made up, Xu Ping acted decisively and immediately put his plan into action.
Straight to work, Xu Ping began his task at once.
"Spirit Worm!"
He first called over the Spirit Worm.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Spirit Worm emerged from the ground, a flattering smile appearing on its face.
At this moment, the aura of the Spirit Worm had reached the peak of the Second-stage, just a step away from the Third-rank.
"Perhaps once we reach the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, we can first let the Spirit Worm break through to the Third-rank," Xu Ping mused inwardly.
Once the Spirit Worm breaks through to the Third-rank, its impact would be significant, capable of enhancing and improving a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein,
which is extremely important for Nascent Soul sects.
Nevertheless, all of this will have to wait until we reach the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Dive underground and sever the node connecting the Spiritual Spring to the Spirit Vein,"
Xu Ping temporarily suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind, instructing the Spirit Worm with a serious expression.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Spirit Worm responded, quickly tunneling into the ground.
It writhed its body like a nimble shadow, disappearing into the soil in an instant.
Meanwhile, Xu Ping also got busy, setting up some simple Protective Arrays around to prevent any accidents during the collection of the Spiritual Spring.
After working for an hour.
This Spiritual Spring was finally stored in a high-grade spiritual beast bag by him.
This high-grade spiritual beast bag emitted a faint Spiritual light, engraved with complex runes, capable of perfectly preserving the Spiritual Power of the Spiritual Spring.
Xu Ping put away the spiritual beast bag, taking a deep breath, his face showing a satisfied smile.
"The Spiritual Spring and the withered wood have all been properly stored, and once the compensation is given to Miao Jun and the Purple Mountain Association, I can head to the Ancient Sand City without worries."
...
Days later.
Xu Ping appeared at Hundred Spirit Mountain.
Miao Jun, leading the senior members of the Purple Mountain Association, greeted him respectfully.
However, Xu Ping didn’t linger long, leaving behind two Third-rank Upper Grade Puppets embedded with Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talismans, then departed from Hundred Spirit Mountain.
These puppets, after all, are consumables and not of much use to Xu Ping.
After Xu Ping left, the contract with the Purple Mountain Association was also canceled by Li Feiyu, who was transformed by the Wood Spirit Avatar.
Although the Purple Mountain Association tried to retain him, seeing the Wood Spirit Avatar’s firm attitude, they ceased their persuasion.
...
...
Time flew by, and four months passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a vast shadow was suddenly cast over the sky of the Ancient Sand City.
Strangely enough, this shadow seemed imbued with a mystical power, dispersing the yellow sands that filled the air.
The cultivators of Ancient Sand City poked their heads out to take a look, only to see a giant spiritual ship slowly appear in their view.
This spiritual ship exuded mysterious and powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Power, its hull engraved with exquisite runes and strange demon beast patterns, showcasing its extraordinary origin.
"The great ship of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons has arrived!"
At the top floor of the pagoda, Xu Ping, witnessing all of this, had a smile on his lips.
A quarter of an hour later.
At the plaza where the spiritual ship docked.
A tall, rugged-faced middle-aged man walked out of the spiritual ship with steady steps.
"Friend Qin, it’s been a long time!"
Xu Ping stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands in greeting.
"Friend Yan, it’s been a while, and you are more impressive than ever!"
Qin Chenfeng dared not show any overbearingness, cupping his hands in return with a respectful and sincere demeanor.
After all, the incident where the counterpart had endured two strikes from True Monarch Wan Chun without sustaining any injury had long spread like wildfire in the Cultivation Realm.
He had heard of this as well.
With such strength, he himself felt far from capable.
Even in their Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, except for the Nascent Soul ancestor, hardly anyone could achieve that.
"I came specially to wait for Friend Qin, as there are some matters I wish to discuss with you," Xu Ping said with a smile.
"Friend Gu mentioned an outline before,"
Qin Chenfeng nodded, indicating his understanding of Xu Ping’s intention.
"This place is crowded and noisy. Why not move to the pagoda for more detailed discussions?"
"That would be perfect."
Subsequently, the two of them moved to a quiet, elegant room in the pagoda.
After taking their seats, Xu Ping wasted no time, directly stating his purpose:
"Friend Qin, to be honest, a water rat I am raising is nearing its Fourth Rank transformation, and I’ve been looking to procure a suitable transformation item for it."
"I’ve heard that the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is rich in heritage, with countless treasures stored. Surely you have the resources I need."
"So I ventured here unabashedly to see if we could collaborate, bringing this matter to fruition together."
"A transformation item?"
Qin Chenfeng furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his expression grave, and fell into momentary contemplation.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "Friend Yan, this matter is indeed quite tricky."
"Currently, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is embroiled in intense conflict with the Red Sand Sect, with resources extremely tight."
"Moreover, a Fourth Rank transformation item is, even in our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, one of the most precious and scarce materials, not easily accessible."
Xu Ping was mentally prepared for this; he appeared calm and leisurely continued: "I presume Friend Qin has heard of my strength."
"If your Valley requires assistance in some areas, I’m willing to offer my help to the best of my ability."
Hearing this, Qin Chenfeng immediately fell silent.
