If senior has any requests that require my assistance, please speak openly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Tianyou’s smile faded slightly and he gently sighed: \"I have no specific demands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just hope that if one day my Mystic Water Sect faces the threat of destruction, and Fellow Daoist Xu is capable, you can lend a hand to preserve the legacy of my Mystic Water Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping took a deep look at Shan Tianyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator’s aura was already unstable, like a flickering candle, clearly exhausted in his efforts to ensure his sect’s continuation at the cost of his remaining lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation, Xu Ping solemnly took the jade box into his bosom, and said gravely: \"Very well, Senior Shan, I will remember your words today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should that day ever come, and I am capable, I will not stand idly by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His promise was contingent on his capability; if Mystic Water Sect provokes a power even he cannot withstand, that is another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shan Tianyou’s face displayed a relieved and gratified smile, as if relieved of a formidable burden: \"In that case.... I thank Fellow Daoist Xu in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few pleasantries, noticing Shan Tianyou’s aura was somewhat unstable, Xu Ping no longer lingered, rising to bid farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Mystic Water Sect, Xu Ping looked back at the misty immortal mountain, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Shan Tianyou, for the sake of his sect’s heritage, did not hesitate to burn out his last shred of lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cultivation realm’s cruel reality and tenderness are often intertwined in such a manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three months later, Blood Bone Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping maneuvered the Escape Light, passing through Blood Bone Island’s restrictions, returning to his cave abode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he did upon returning was summon the Spirit Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the ground beneath rippled like water, and a massive head covered in dark gold rings emerged—it was the Spirit Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1183,"2026-06-02T06:48:23.525Z",1,"novelbin.me","0362a34bb25c2989b9f1a37a81202594cd135910acc35b16e0f6181e6b21ba28","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-961","cultivation-starts-from-farming-chapter-959",1040,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-starts-from-farming-cover.jpg"]
