Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

Lu Ping's extremely calm words were filled with a chilling killing intent.

The silver-white sword energy, carrying the sound of thunder, pierced through everything.

Click click.

Zeng Xiuxiu reacted extremely quickly, using all her methods, including protective talismans, defensive artifacts, and defensive spells, to create a protective shield.

Zeng Xiuxiu was confident that even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, or even a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Yunzhu Li family who had recently been stationed in the market, would need some time to break through such defenses.

With just a little breathing room, Zeng Xiuxiu was confident that she could activate her Blood Escape technique and escape to safety.

boom.

The confidence built up by numerous defensive measures vanished the instant Zeng Xiuxiu's head exploded.

The protective shield formed by the activated talisman and defensive artifact was flawless, or to put it another way, it had absolutely no effect.

The second-tier, mid-grade Thunder Sound Sword Talisman is extremely lethal and fast.

Zeng Xiuxiu was merely a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator; how could she possibly react in time?

"receive."

The silver-white sword energy reversed and returned to the Thunder Sound Sword Talisman.

Lu Ping discovered that a second-tier sword talisman can retract the activated sword energy unless it is completely exhausted.

The Thunder Sound Sword Talisman, having only been used once, has consumed some of its sword energy and also damaged the talisman itself.

If activated repeatedly, the talisman material will be damaged, and it will lose its ability to recycle sword energy.

"As expected of a second-tier talisman, the preparations are thorough."

Lu Ping hid the Thunder Sound Sword Talisman he had used inside his White Cloud Spirit-Nourishing Robe, then came to the Green Wood Courtyard and coldly looked at Zeng Xiuxiu's corpse.

Zeng Xiuxiu, who had just died, was still warm in her body. Her head had exploded, and scalding blood gushed out from her neck.

"The cultivator's methods are unpredictable. Even if my head explodes, what if he also has a way to resurrect?"

Lu Ping summoned the sword-nurturing gourd, and five black iron flying swords, which had been nurtured for a long time and had never seen blood, shot out one by one.

Two swords pierced his chest from both sides to prevent his heart from beating; one sword stabbed his dantian, shattering his dantian qi sea; one sword cut him in half at the waist; and one sword pierced through his limbs.

Guga.

The precious light toad beside him was so frightened by Lü Ping's cruelty and ruthlessness that its precious light was suppressed, and its palm-sized body trembled incessantly.

"Big Yellow, watch it."

[Your command is granted.]

Big Yellow struck like a hurricane, its claws pinning down the Radiant Toad.

This precious toad, despite being a first-tier early-stage demon beast, did not resist at all when faced with Da Huang's probing claws, showing no intention of avenging its master.

On the contrary, when the treasure toad saw the black iron flying sword and the sword-nurturing gourd, the golden light in its eyes and on its back flickered uncontrollably.

"I'll deal with you, you toad, later."

Lu Ping reached out and put away Zeng Xiuxiu's strange robe, the storage bag at her waist, and the other treasures.

Inside the courtyard of Aoki, the air suddenly became hot and dry.

A fiery dragon, its body blazing with fury and its scales menacing, lunged forward and bit into Zeng Xiuxiu's corpse.

In the blink of an eye.

The still-warm corpse became the fuel for Lü Ping's rage and the fuel for the Fire Dragon Technique.

"Cultivators who frequently kill know the importance of learning a fire magic technique."

"The Fire Dragon Technique is indeed remarkable; it did not waste my experience orb."

Lü Ping was quite satisfied with the magic he had mastered.

As for Zeng Xiuxiu...

Ha ha.

The glamorous beauty of a few days ago is now reduced to ashes. If those male cultivators who were captivated by Zeng Xiuxiu were to see this, one wonders what they would think.

"Fellow Daoist Zeng, I, Lü, only want to farm peacefully. Why are you forcing me like this?"

This fellow Daoist Zeng was going too far, so Lü Ping had no choice but to deal with her decisively, not giving Zeng Xiuxiu any chance to use her verbal skills.

This vicious female cultivator has come to our door; does Lu Ping still intend to play the "beautiful lady" trick with her?

"Your turn, little toad."

Lu Ping looked at the Radiant Toad under Big Yellow's paws, and hot fire elemental energy flowed through his hands.

Having just witnessed its former master being killed by the Fire Dragon Technique, and seeing that it was about to follow in his footsteps, the Radiant Toad was extremely anxious, and kept making croaking noises.

"Big Yellow, can you understand what this little toad is saying?"

"Master, he said don't kill him, he's useful."

it works?

[Master, this little toad is called the Precious Light Toad. No extraordinary treasure can escape its senses.]

I suspect this is why they've set their sights on you, Master.

The little toad said that although it couldn't see through its master's robes, its innate intuition told it that its master possessed hidden treasures, surpassing even ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and even Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ok.

This little toad has a really good eye for cultivators.

but.

The appearance of the Baoguang Toad proved Lü Ping's previous conjecture.

In the world of cultivation, there are indeed many who possess the ability to see through appearances and discover treasures.

Previously, when many Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared in Yunzhu Market, his decisive choice to put the treasure back into the white light orb and stop refining the Xuan Tie Sword Array Diagram was absolutely correct!

"Master, this little toad says it's still just a juvenile."

[It possesses a first-tier superior bloodline. Upon reaching adulthood, it will possess the combat strength of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and will also be able to help its master conceal the precious light emanating from its body.]

Da Huang faithfully relayed the words of the Treasure Light Toad without embellishing them or worrying that Lü Ping might take the Treasure Light Toad in, which would threaten its position.

In his entire life, Da Huang could be summed up in just two words: that is.

loyalty!

Accepting the Radiant Toad will bring considerable benefits.

Firstly, this Treasure Light Toad possesses a first-grade superior bloodline, which, in terms of spiritual plants, would be a first-grade superior spiritual seed. If it is cultivated to maturity, a white light orb can be harvested.

Secondly, the Radiant Toad can help him conceal the radiance of the treasure, and when he encounters cultivators who practice such spells or keep such spirit beasts, he has certain counter-surveillance capabilities.

"Big Yellow, let it go first."

Lu Ping took out a fish food pellet and fed it to the Baoguang Toad.

Seeing this, the precious toad looked conflicted, but then made up its mind, opened its mouth, and ate the fish food made from the Rejuvenating Grass.

After swallowing it, the precious toad couldn't help but stick out its tongue and lick it, only to find that it wasn't poison at all.

[The Radiant Toad, a high-grade first-tier spirit beast.]

[Able to recognize precious light and nurture treasures, this spirit beast possesses formidable combat capabilities upon maturity, making it a creature with immense potential.]

The Radiant Toad tilted its head, its golden eyes blinking as it looked at Lü Ping.

Just now, it suddenly discovered that it could communicate with the ruthless yet ordinary old farmer spirit plant master in front of it.

[The radiant toad pays its respects to its master.]

Upon discovering that communication was possible, the Baoguang Toad immediately knelt down.

The precious toad knelt down like a cultivator, its two front paws clasped together, revealing its smooth white belly, and bowed its head in worship.

this......

Isn't this Radiant Toad a demonic beast with a first-grade superior bloodline?

Where is the pride, the fighting spirit, and the dignity of a first-tier high-grade demon beast?

Lü Ping was amused by the light-speed sliding kneeling of the Treasure Light Toad and asked a question.

"Little toad, what do you know about Zeng Xiuxiu?"

[I inform you, sir, that I do not know much.]

However, I will answer all your questions without reservation, to show my loyalty.

Stop talking nonsense.

This wicked female cultivator comes from Zixia Mountain...
