Geng Metal Finger!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short cultivator froze in place, disbelief etched on his face. Once he realized, he screamed in panic, \"Big brother save me!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall brawny man’s face turned wild with shock, he slapped a dusty small pouch at his waist, and a blazing red sword appeared, transforming into a red light slashing at Xu Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping was forced to temporarily let the short cultivator go, turning back swiftly with a pointed finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden energy burst from his fingertip, accompanied by a thunderous sound, directly knocking the blazing red sword away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall brawny man’s face flickered with fear; his blazing red sword had been knocked away just like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level of Geng Metal Finger is this??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was dumbfounded, the second golden energy arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall cultivator, panicked, slapped a Water Shield Talisman on himself, allowing a water shield to encase his entire body, attempting to block the sudden attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water curtain exploded instantly under the energy impact, turning into a shower of drops splashing onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, the third streak, golden energy like an arrow, pierced through his chest, front and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall cultivator’s eyes stared vacantly, glancing down at the terrifying hole in his chest, lips trembling as if wanting to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth golden energy shot out suddenly, the tall cultivator’s head exploded instantly under the golden impact, flesh splattered, staining the surrounding grass red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one brief second, the tall cultivator died tragically on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big... big brother!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, the short cultivator was shocked, eyes flashing with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level of Geng Metal Finger is this!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually easily slaying his big brother!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short cultivator directly knelt, loudly begging for mercy: \"It was Elder Yan who wanted to kill you... we were just following orders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words weren’t finished before Xu Ping, blinded by rage, exploded his head with a Geng Metal Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent instantly fell, brain matter bursting as he died, his hand relaxing, several yellow talismans drifting to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the battle ended, seeing the blood and flesh strewn across the ground, Xu Ping finally felt a wave of nausea, his stomach churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reason told him: this was no place to linger, he needed to leave quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh... hiccup!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the urge to vomit, Xu Ping first picked up the blazing red sword that had lost its owner’s mana infusion, becoming dim, fallen to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then searched their bodies, finding nothing of value on the short cultivator, but discovered a storage pouch at the waistband of the tall cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring no hidden items elsewhere, he gathered their corpses together, summoned a Fireball Talisman to burn them to ashes, quickly leaving the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the scene, Xu Ping raced home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff! Huff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He breathed heavily, his chest heaving, the sound of his breaths echoing in the small space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a while before his breathing gradually steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping walked to the table, picked up a jug of water, and gulped it down. The water flowed into his stomach, bringing a hint of cold comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, he slammed the jug heavily onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally killed someone!\" Xu Ping exhaled deeply, his body trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether from excitement or fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he anticipated such a day would eventually come, he hadn’t expected it so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a living human life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, where Xu Ping was born and raised, it was one of the safest countries in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family was harmonious and happy, no friends or relatives had encountered unexpected calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill someone was just a term seen in the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there’s no guilt or fear in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenario earlier, even if repeated a thousand times, he’d unhesitatingly strike with Geng Metal Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, this world forced me,\" Xu Ping sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a quarter-hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pounding heart gradually steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling what the short cultivator said before dying, Xu Ping felt frustrated, \"Should have spared him, to ask why Elder Yan wanted him dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no hostility with Elder Yan, truly unable to comprehend why he was targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just because he competed in business?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just such a... reason??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever the reason, since you tried to kill me, I won’t let you off,\" Xu Ping’s eyes flickered with coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and began examining his loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the lower-grade magical artifact—the blazing red sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was entirely red, three feet long, half a foot wide, the hilt wrapped in Fire Silkworm Silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, not bad, the artifact’s restrictions are intact, a perfectly functional artifact, at last I have an artifact!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping’s face lit up with joy as he stowed the blazing red sword, then took out a dusty small silk pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be a storage pouch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping’s eyes sparkled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Cultivation Realm, storage pouches were not ubiquitous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many loose cultivators were deterred by its high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheapest, with only a cubic foot of storage, cost at least ten Spirit Stones each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he never owned one, he’d seen them in use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the storage pouch, he activated his Five Elements Skill, infusing mana into the pouch, erasing the former owner’s mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the original owner was dead, he easily wiped the mana imprint from the storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon sensing the former mana mark had dissipated, Xu Ping decisively imprinted his own mana mark on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the storage pouch, his Spiritual Sense seemed to leave his body, perceiving another realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a roughly cubic gray space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there were many small items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping willed, pouring all items out at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storage pouch glimmered, a pile of items appeared before him: a small heap of Spirit Stones, several talismans, some ceramics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He counted carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of eighteen lower-grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Fireball Talismans, one Ice Freeze Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three old books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a few ceramics, unknown Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder it’s a storage pouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping fondly played with the storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, outside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, outside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, outside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, it became dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to smoke, but the world had none, so he silently drank some water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping’s gaze fell again on the items on the table, feeling: \"These two brothers are truly treasure delivery boys...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his assets combined were far less than these two had.\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-02T06:47:58.750Z",1,"novelbin.me","05b209b63969ad88bdd4ae44fcff34c5699a10ad544d625bc94596556156eb47","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-10","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-8",1040,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-starts-from-farming-cover.jpg"]
