My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 488

Chapter 487: A partial success! Thank you to [Red Robe] for the 15 update reminder tokens!

On the fourth day, just as Xu Changqing was about to enter his personal space to create a small teleportation array, an acquaintance suddenly came to his door.

“Old Zhao, what brings you here?”

“I want to find someone to forge a magical artifact.”

“What kind of magical artifact?”

“Spirit Protection Pearl!”

“Isn’t this a spiritual artifact that protects the soul?”

“I’ve been feeling restless lately…”

Xu Changqing hadn’t seen Lao Zhao and Lao Hu for a while.

Since the two became disciples, everyone has become very busy.

Old Zhao now looks pale and has a dull look in his eyes.

This is not the state a Foundation Establishment cultivator should be in at all.

Zhao Ziyue took a deep breath, barely managing to muster his spirits, and then said, “Next, I plan to break through to the Earth-grade Golden Core, and I urgently need some spiritual artifacts, talismans, and pills.”

“You know a lot of people, could you help me find out the price?”

Xu Changqing was surprised: “So fast? You broke through?”

Zhao Ziyue nodded vigorously: “Since the dragon vein of the Canglan Sea was severed, the cultivation speed of the water spirit root has accelerated a lot.”

Moreover, after I became an apprentice, I gained access to a lot of resources.

“The foundation-building stage was completed a year ago.”

Before the three of them even met, Zhao Ziyue was already at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Now, with the help of favorable circumstances, it has made rapid progress.

Xu Changqing took out a spirit-protecting bead and handed it over: “Coincidentally, a friend of mine at Vajra Peak gave me one. You can take it.”

He secretly crafted many magical artifacts of various types in order to enrich his experience and skills.

I never expected that I would actually need it one day.

Zhao Ziyue took it and discovered five spiritual runes on it, and was immediately surprised: “A high-grade spiritual artifact?”

Low-grade spirit artifacts: 1 to 3 spirit runes.

High-grade spiritual artifacts: 4 to 6 spiritual runes.

Top-grade spiritual artifact: 7 to 9 spiritual patterns.

Superior-grade spiritual artifact: 9 or more spiritual runes.

A single spirit weapon of this quality costs several hundred mid-grade spirit stones, especially defensive and auxiliary ones, which are priced even higher.

The fact that the weapon refiner on Vajra Peak could casually give away a high-grade spiritual weapon shows that he has a very high talent.

This also indirectly shows that this good friend’s network of connections is becoming increasingly impressive.

Xu Changqing smiled and said, “Anyway, I don’t need it, you can take it.”

Zhao Ziyue hesitated for a moment, then asked, “How many spirit stones?”

Xu Changqing waved his hand dismissively: “Dude, talking about money is going too far.”

Zhao Ziyue said seriously, “Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Lao Hu and I have always received your help, so we can’t continue to take advantage of you.”

Xu Changqing seemed to understand something upon hearing this: “Then give me one hundred mid-grade spirit stones.”

Zhao Ziyue was taken aback for a moment: “Then I’ll continue to take advantage of you.”

Xu Changqing grinned: “Hahaha.”

Despite saying that, Zhao Ziyue still took out spirit stones: “Just kidding, nowadays I can afford not only a hundred, but even a thousand or ten thousand.”

Xu Changqing did not refuse and immediately put it away: “Okay, I’ll help you find out what kinds of spiritual artifacts, talismans, and pills are needed for water spirit root to overcome tribulation and what their prices are.”

Zhao Ziyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you.”

Xu Changqing asked curiously, “You have a single spiritual root. To reach the Human Grade Golden Core, you only need to withstand one turbid lightning strike. If you want to break through to the Earth Grade Golden Core, you need to prepare five types of monster cores in advance. Do you have these?”

The more spiritual roots one possesses, the greater the power of the lightning tribulation, and the more dangerous the tribulation becomes.

This is why, although the mainstream advocates the five spiritual roots.

In reality, most cultivators have either a single or dual spiritual root.

It’s extremely rare to see someone like Li Lingbi, who broke through to the Earth-grade Golden Core stage with three spiritual roots.

Therefore, as soon as he succeeded, he attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect, and countless people took the initiative to curry favor with him.

Zhao Ziyue smiled mysteriously: “Yes, and there’s plenty to go around.”

Xu Changqing, recalling the other party’s fortuitous encounter and the enormous black water snake, immediately understood the meaning behind the man’s smile: “That’s good.”

Zhao Ziyue nodded: “Okay, I’m leaving now. Remember to let me know if you find out anything.”

Seeing the other party’s state, Xu Changqing became wary: “Wait a minute, I have a talisman here, consider it a gift for you.”

Amulets are very common throughout the Tianyuan Realm, as ubiquitous as spirit rice wine.

However, Xu Changqing’s protective charm was not simple.

It was drawn with masterful rune techniques and contains a portion of the power of a Heavenly Grade Golden Elixir.

In the late stage of the Golden Core realm, one can basically ignore it for a certain period of time.

At the late stage of Earth-grade Golden Core, there is absolutely no danger to life in the short term.

As for the late stage of the Heavenly Grade Golden Core, there’s no need to consider how long they can hold out.

Zhao Ziyue picked it up and examined it carefully. He found that it was almost no different from a normal amulet. However, it was a gift from his good friend, so of course he wouldn’t refuse: “Thanks.”

Xu Changqing instructed, “Make sure it stays close to your body.”

Zhao Ziyue stuffed it into his robes, then turned and left, saying, “I’m leaving.”

Xu Changqing watched the other person’s departing figure and pondered, “It’s rare for a cultivator who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment to be restless.”

Moreover, it was Old Zhao, who had always been a figurehead in the Air Force.

It’s highly likely that something else happened.

Looks like I need to find some time to invite Hu Bugui over, and we brothers can have a good drink together.

Once you’ve had too much to drink, you start talking non-stop.

Then, Xu Changqing flashed and quickly entered his personal space.

…

…

Now, four days and three nights have passed, and the materials for the small teleportation array have been prepared.

Xu Changqing, carrying the materials, first arrived at a relatively flat area without any obstacles.

This area is still undeveloped, making it perfect for setting up a teleportation array.

This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!

He raised his hand and flicked it, continuously channeling his magic power, and the ground immediately changed.

At an extremely fast pace, a circular earthen platform with a diameter of 1.2 zhang and a height of 1 chi was erected.

Since it’s a small teleportation array, it doesn’t need to be very large.

To put it simply, as long as there’s enough space for people to stand on it, that’s fine.

However, the earthen platform was just the beginning. Xu Changqing then dug a trench 1 meter deep and 2 feet wide along its edge, which could also be called an air intake trench.

Next, a large amount of solidified earth spirit marrow was filled into the trough to prevent the earth energy in the earth platform from leaking out, thus making it a stable energy pool.

He then used a carving knife to personally carve a nine-square grid pattern on the surface of the earthen platform, with each square having a side length of 4 inches and a grid line depth of 1 inch.

Once everything is in place, fill it with the previously washed and “dried” meteorite sand. This completes the basic pathway for energy conduction.

Of course, the matter did not end there. Instead, the gelatinous earth spirit marrow was evenly spread on the surface of the earthen platform until the meteorite sand was completely covered.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Changqing once again activated his magic power, continuously injecting it into the earthen platform, while simultaneously drawing more earth energy to gather there.

The platform and the entire earthen mound suddenly emitted a faint yellow light, which grew stronger over time.

Xu Changqing enveloped the area with his divine sense, perceiving every detail. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he stop consuming his magical power.

The next step is to embed the spatial earth elemental fruit into the earthen platform.

He had already reserved a spherical array eye with a diameter of 5 inches and a depth of 4 inches in the very center of the table.

Take out the soaked Earth Element Fruit and press it directly into the array eye. The top of the fruit is exactly level with the earth platform. Then take out 12 pre-treated Earth Element Crystals and arrange them around the twelve earthly branches, with each Earth Element Crystal spaced 1 inch apart, forming a large circle.

Next, use the solidified earth spirit marrow to fill it again, ensuring there are no gaps between the array eye and the earth element crystal, and then use magic power to press it firmly.

At this moment, the spatial earth element fruit, which is now the array eye, and the twelve earth element crystals lit up simultaneously, but the center continued to light up while the surrounding area only flickered.

This marks the initial completion of the small teleportation array.

Xu Changqing took a deep breath: “The next step is the most crucial one. Even though my rune skills have reached the master level, there is still a possibility of failure or mistake.”

Having only an earthen platform and a key point is not enough; the formation must be inscribed.

It consists of two layers: an outer layer and an inner layer.

The outer layer is a teleportation rune.

The inner layer contains stable runes.

The material used is a mixture of earth spirit marrow and meteorite sand.

Moreover, even magic power must maintain the earth attribute and must not be mixed with other attributes.

The inner stabilizing symbol is centered on the array eye and is engraved with Bagua patterns.

They are: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui

It is 0.5 inches wide and 0.3 inches deep, and each end is connected to a soil crystal.

This is done to guide the earth’s energy towards the array’s core, while simultaneously suppressing energy fluctuations and confining them within a controllable range.

According to the records, Xu Changqing added a little bit of earth element crystal powder when carving the Gen pattern.

As for the outer teleportation rune, it is relatively simple.

Or rather, it’s relatively simple for Xu Changqing.

Along the inner side of the earth’s energy channels at the edge of the earthen platform, the seven-star pattern is carved little by little.

The reasons for doing this are twofold: one is to mimic the BeiDou positioning system, and the other is to form a dual coordinate lock with the twelve directions of the Earth Crystal, thereby reducing deviations during transmission.

You have to understand that teleportation is a matter of millimeters of error and can lead to vastly different outcomes. If something goes wrong, who knows where you’ll end up, or even if you can’t come back.

After an unknown amount of time, all the runes, both the outer and inner layers, were completed.

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief: “We actually got it done in one go.”

To be honest, he was prepared to fail many times.

It seems there’s some truth to the combination of a Heavenly-grade Golden Elixir and max-level rune skills.

The rest is much easier; all you need to do is arrange a certain number of spirit stones.

The larger the teleportation array, the wider its coverage area, and the more spirit stones it consumes.

Even a small teleportation array requires mid-grade spirit stones, and the more you have, the more stable it is.

For Xu Changqing, who is now “rich and powerful,” this is barely acceptable.

With the spirit stones now arranged, only the final step remains: positioning and debugging.

However, this step cannot be taken in the personal space; one must go outside, or even to the Golden Mystic Cave on Cangyan Peak.

Since we need to teleport, we must lock onto and confirm the exact location there, and then place the earth element crystal and spirit stones in a spacious and safe area.

Because Ling Tian had something to do, Xu Changqing turned his attention to the gold miner: “It’s your turn to make your appearance. Take the Earth Element Crystal to your new home.”

Although it lacks spiritual power, its physical strength has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if you encounter all sorts of dangers along the way, as long as your opponent is not at the Golden Core stage, the chances of something going wrong are extremely slim.

At that moment, the gold miner raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up!

P.S.: As you may have noticed, I’ve recently reduced my updates from three chapters to two. As readers who have followed me all along know, my sleep quality is terrible, and I’m always staying up late, which makes me feel very unwell.

As I wrote, my eyes got tired, and my temples even cramped.

Therefore, I wanted to make some adjustments in September.

But don’t worry, although there are fewer chapters, the word count hasn’t decreased; it’s still 6,000 words per day.
