Cultivation Starts from Farming

Chapter 193: Cultivation Failure; Setting Traps


"This person is not an ordinary third-tier Talisman Master, and his wealth is exceptional. You must handle it well; don't let this money-maker slip away." He Chen instructed.

"Rest assured, he won't get away." Hua Yan's expression was calm, and his tone carried a hint of confidence.

He had sold this Secret Technique before and was naturally aware of how to handle it.

"Instead, you're free these days. Why not wait in my cave for a few days? I believe it won't be long before he contacts me." Hua Yan said confidently.

He Chen pondered silently for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Alright."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Hua Yan, "But let me be clear, if Xu Ping comes looking for you to trade later, don't forget to give me my share."

"Rest assured, I won't forget your portion." Hua Yan replied.

"Hmm."

He Chen nodded in satisfaction and then set up the Spiritual Boat and hurried towards Hua Yan's cave.

...

Thousand Leaves Mountain.

After He Chen and Hua Yan left, Xu Ping couldn't contain the urgency in his heart and hurried to the cultivation chamber.

As soon as he entered the room, he eagerly took out the jade slip that recorded the "Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill" Secret Technique.

"Finally got it!"

Xu Ping gazed at the jade slip in his hand, murmuring to himself, and a trace of uncontrollable excitement flashed in his eyes.

Although he clearly suffered a loss in this transaction with Hua Yan, Xu Ping believed it would all be worth it if he could successfully cultivate this Secret Technique.

"Phew!"

Xu Ping took a deep breath to calm his emotions and then invaded the jade slip with his Divine Sense.

Suddenly, the entire content of the 'Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill' emerged in his mind.

Xu Ping began to read and ponder word by word, striving to fully understand every detail.

Several days later.

A hint of comprehension appeared in Xu Ping's eyes.

"So that's how it is!"

A trace of excitement flashed in Xu Ping's eyes. At this moment, he fully understood all the details of the 'Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill.'

Undoubtedly, this "Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill" is indeed extraordinarily ingenious!

With a special method, it precisely guides one's Mana to the Sea of Consciousness area.

These Mana act like fine craftsmen, tempering and nurturing the Sea of Consciousness.

They constantly wash over the barriers of the Sea of Consciousness, making it more resilient and broad. Meanwhile, the cultivator's Divine Sense will slowly enhance in this process.

"Let's give it a try!"

Xu Ping took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement, and started his first attempt at cultivating the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill.

Although his entry level in drawing the spirit into his veins was not yet successful, the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill was evidently more important to him.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged, formed a seal, then slowly closed his eyes, immersing his mind into the Sea of Consciousness, solemnly attempting to cultivate the "Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill" again.

However, as soon as he began to circulate the cultivation technique, as traces of Mana cautiously flowed into the Sea of Consciousness, the originally calm Sea of Consciousness was instantly like being hit by a storm, stirring up turbulent waves.

A burst of intense pain felt like sharp blades cutting through his consciousness mercilessly, as if to shred his soul into countless pieces.

Initially, Xu Ping thought this was a normal phenomenon to experience during cultivation.

Therefore, he clenched his teeth tightly, soon having a profuse sweat on his forehead, his face turning pale as paper, and his body involuntarily trembling.

Even so, he persisted with staunch determination.

But as time passed, the pain not only did not alleviate but became increasingly intense.

More frighteningly, even the barriers of the Sea of Consciousness seemed to become precarious under the continuous wash of Mana, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Something's not right..."

Xu Ping immediately stopped cultivating and slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

He vaguely sensed that if he continued recklessly, not only would his Sea of Consciousness fail to strengthen, but it could also suffer severe damage.

It is known that if the Sea of Consciousness is damaged, the consequences would be unimaginable, far more severe than damage to the Dantian, almost rendering the cultivation path half-wasted.

"Could it be that I missed some details?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Ping's eyes, and he then flipped his hand to retrieve the jade slip, immersing his Divine Sense into it for a careful read.

Half a day later.

Xu Ping withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip and fell into deep thought.

He had thoroughly read the jade slip several times, knowing each word and sentence by heart.

He could confidently assert that he had followed the cultivation method recorded in the jade slip without making any mistakes.

"Could it be that I introduced too much Mana into the Sea of Consciousness?" Xu Ping pondered to himself, "Why not try reducing the amount of Mana this time?"

Thoughts surged in his mind, and he decided to try again.

However, this attempt again ended in failure, and the intense pain from the Sea of Consciousness remained unabated.

"What exactly is going on? I've clearly reduced the Mana, why is this still happening?"

Feeling the waves of pain from his Sea of Consciousness, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel exceptionally irritable. "Is there another problem I haven't discovered?"

He frowned deeply, pondering hard for a long time. Finally, gritting his teeth, he decided to try a few more times to see if he could identify the problem.

Time passed in these repeated painful attempts, and seven days flew by.

At this moment, Xu Ping remained seated in the cultivation chamber.

His entire face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, devoid of any blood color, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which rolled down his cheeks, soaking his clothes.
