"It’s just a small matter."
Liang Ming laughed heartily, and readily agreed.
For a top-tier force like the Mystic Water Sect, the Spiritual Objects for Nascent Soul Formation, although precious, are not considered rare treasures.
After all, disciples within their sect attempt to break through to Nascent Soul every so often, so there is ample supply of such items.
Even trading them with outsiders poses no problem at all.
However, items that assist in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation are rare even for the Mystic Water Sect, and even he finds it difficult to obtain them.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Liang." Xu Ping cupped his hands in gratitude.
Liang Ming waved his hand dismissively, smiling, "You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist Xu. There’s no need for such formality between us."
The two then chatted about their cultivation insights and the situation in the outer seas, before comncing their usual trade.
In the ensuing transactions, Xu Ping produced a talisman emanating a pure, thunderous aura.
"Is this... a fine-grade Thunder Escape Talisman?"
Liang Ming closely examined the talisman in his hand, slightly astonished.
It’s worth noting that just two or three decades ago, Xu Ping had only advanced to a Fourth Rank Talisman Master, and could only draw ordinary Fourth Rank Lower Grade talismans.
And now, he could actually create fine-quality Fourth Rank talismans.
This pace of progress is nothing short of terrifying.
"Indeed, Xu Mou has made so progress in the Dao of Talismans," Xu Ping replied with a serene smile, neither denying nor boasting excessively.
Liang Ming felt a surge of admiration in his heart.
Given Xu Ping’s demonstrated talent in talisman-making, it is almost certain that he will produce Fourth Rank Middle Grade talismans in the future.
He might even manage to reach the legendary Fourth Rank Upper Grade talismans.
With that thought, Liang Ming’s gaze toward Xu Ping beca more fervent, and his smile grew even broader.
An hour later, their trade concluded in Perfection.
Liang Ming stood up, bade farewell, and departed from Blood Bone Island.
...
In the days that followed, Xu Ping dedicated most of his ti and effort to the task of refining Fourth Rank Puppets.
Over the years of continual accumulation.
He now had all the materials required to fully complete the ten puppets needed for the remaining Puppet Array.
Once this complete Fourth Rank Puppet Array was successfully refined, his combat strength would experience a qualitative leap.
anwhile, Liang Ming kept his promise, delivering various materials Xu Ping had commissioned him to gather to Blood Bone Island.
However, the most precious Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects and the special materials required for refining the Soul-Breaking Needle still needed so ti to arrive.
Xu Ping was not anxious about this.
After all, the refining of a top-tier Magical Treasure like the Soul-Breaking Needle cannot be approached without care; it’s better to wait longer to ensure the materials’ quality is impeccable.
Duan Shuang continued to cultivate diligently in her cave, honing her Mana, Divine Soul, and Dao Heart, making the most thorough preparations for her future endeavor of Nascent Soul Formation.
Though the Spirit Vein beneath Blood Bone Island had yet to complete its upgrade, it was at the most critical stage of transformation.
Ti flew by, and nine years passed by quietly.
On this day.
A deep rumble akin to the awakening of an ancient beast sounded from the depths beneath Blood Bone Island.
This rumbling was not an indication of destruction but the struggle and transformation of so deeper, more majestic life force.
"Is the Spirit Vein about to break through?"
Xu Ping imdiately sensed the anomaly.
He promptly put aside his artifact refining work and extended his Divine Sense deep into the earth.
Deep within the monstrous spirit cavern, a thousand feet below Blood Bone Island.
The main trunk of the Spirit Vein that originally flowed smoothly like a cyan jade belt, was now pulsating vigorously.
Each pulse emitted a dense, boundless mist of Spiritual Qi, with the mist shimring with minute glimrs of nearly transformative Spiritual Light.
Simultaneously, the core of the Spirit Vein frantically drew in the free Spiritual Qi from within a thousand-mile radius, channeling torrents of visible Spiritual Qi into the main trunk like rivers converging into the sea.
The entire Spirit Vein was restructuring its formation, with the concentration and purity of Spiritual Qi increasing at a visibly rapid pace.
"Indeed, the Spirit Vein is about to upgrade!!"
A gleam of ecstasy flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.
With the ticulous grooming and adjustnts made by the Spirit Worm over the years, the Fourth Rank Lower Grade Spirit Vein beneath Blood Bone Island was finally undergoing a qualitative transformation, upgrading to a Fourth Rank Middle Grade Spirit Vein.
Boom—crack!
A crisp sound, as if resonating from the world’s origin, erupted within the depths of everyone’s Divine Souls.
It wasn’t a sound but the trembling of a certain rule’s shackles being forcibly torn apart.
The Spirit Vein had successfully transford!!
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi gushing from the core of the Spirit Vein flooded every corner of Blood Bone Island like a burst dam.
The Spiritual Qi, already quite dense, had now reached an astonishing level.
The dense Spiritual Qi seed nearly tangible, forming a light milky white mist in the air, wondrously enchanting like a fairyland.
"It has succeeded!"
Feeling the purest Spiritual Qi flowing through his body, Xu Ping grinned.
The Spirit Vein had finally upgraded successfully, and the process was incredibly smooth.
With this Fourth Rank Middle Grade Spirit Vein, not only would his own cultivation speed increase significantly, but even Duan Shuang’s future success rate in Nascent Soul Formation would be greatly enhanced.
More importantly, a Spirit Vein of such quality could support him in reaching the Peak of Mid-stage Nascent Soul, and even reaching the Late-Stage Nascent Soul would be entirely possible.
Noticing the tumult of the Spirit Vein’s upgrade, Duan Shuang also awoke from her seclusion and promptly arrived at Blood Bone Hall.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, has the Spirit Vein upgrade succeeded?"
