Fei Ling Mountain finally quieted down, and the flying dust gradually settled, revealing the scene at the top of the mountain in front of everyone.
At this time, the top of Fei Ling Mountain was clearly divided into four groups. Zhen Ling Sect was left with 29 people, occupying the east side of the cave mansion; Xuan Ling Sect was on the west side, with a total of 32 people. Obviously, some of them died in the battle just now; Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion gathered some familiar cultivators, forming a third group of nearly 20 people, and gathered at the south side of the cave mansion; the rest of the cultivators from various sects mostly gathered at the north side of the cave mansion, and there were also cultivators scattered around. Obviously, cultivators had rushed back from all over Fei Ling Island in the past two days.
The formation outside the cave mansion was obviously much more powerful than the one Lu Ping had seen before, so the cultivators at the top of the mountain couldn't see the situation inside the cave mansion. Therefore, they couldn't determine where the main entrance of the cave mansion was, and could only rely on luck to occupy a position.
This kind of cave mansion's protective formation was different from Fei Ling Mountain's protective formation. As long as one part of the protective formation was broken, the whole formation would be broken, unlike the protective formation, which not only would the whole formation not collapse, but it would also slowly repair itself.
Everyone was still in a stalemate around the cave mansion at the top of the mountain, and no one was willing to attack the formation first. Lu Ping was bored, so he had to look around the situation at the top of the mountain.
The stream that Lu Ping had been following was not far away, and its source was at the center of the mountain. The spiritual energy here was rich, and it was the main vein of Fei Ling Mountain's large spirit vein. The stream contained rich spiritual energy, and Lu Ping suddenly understood why he was able to obtain seven spirit herb gardens and an early Core Forging cultivator's cave mansion. It was because the stream from the top of the mountain contained rich spiritual energy, so Fei Ling Sect cultivators opened up spirit herb gardens on both sides of the stream.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Especially at the source of the stream, the spiritual energy in the water was especially rich. It far exceeded the amount of spiritual energy in the spring water in his cave-dwelling. He could bring some back to water the spirit herb garden. Otherwise, the spirit spring water would be wasted.
Lu Ping took out a jade bottle magic tool, which was obtained by Lu Ping when he was still a Blood Refining cultivator from the "Cultivator Sharing Union". This jade bottle was only a low-grade magic tool, and it didn't have strong offensive power. It could be used as a storage magic tool, but its capacity wasn't large. The reason why Lu Ping had kept this low-grade magic tool until now was because it could maintain the spiritual energy of the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle.
Because of this, Lu Ping had always used it to store spiritual spring water to water the spirit fields and spirit herb garden.
Lu Ping took out the jade bottle and filled it with the stream water at the source. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should've upgraded this jade bottle to a mid-grade magic tool or a high-grade magic tool. That way, he could've stored more spiritual water.
When Lu Ping arrived at the top of the mountain, Lu Ping released Dabao. Unfortunately, the entire mountain was under the dual protection of the Forbidden Array and the Mountain Protection Array, so Dabao couldn't go deep into the ground. This made Lu Ping's wishful thinking of collecting more Spirit Gathering Pearls fall through. I can't let myself have all the benefits, Lu Ping thought to himself.
The stalemate in front of the abode was finally broken. No one knew who was the first to make a move, but suddenly, all kinds of magic tools and spells flew around on the top of the mountain. Accompanied by the sound of "Ping Ping Pang Pang", the Great Array of the abode protection kept shaking.
Lu Ping chose to keep a low profile this time. He took out the mid-grade Flying Swallow Sword and joined the attack of the others.
At this time, Wei Zi-Heng suddenly sent a voice transmission to Lu Ping, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, you have the strongest magic power among us. After the array is broken, you will be the first to rush into the cave mansion and fight for the treasures inside. The other martial brothers and I will secretly block the others for you. This matter is only known to the eleven cultivators of my Zhenling."
Lu Ping nodded. He knew that in front of a Core Forging cultivator's cave mansion, even an alliance was unreliable. Presumably, when they explored the other Core Forging cultivators' cave mansions, Wei Zi-Heng and the others had already noticed it.
As the closing time of Fei Ling Island was getting closer, the people on the mountain top did their best this time. In just an hour, the grand array outside the cave mansion was extremely weakened. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lu Ping, with the secret cooperation of the other cultivators of Zhenling, stood in front of the Celestial Spirit Faction.
Someone's magic tool became the straw that broke the camel's back. The array cracked with a roar and everything inside the cave mansion was revealed in front of everyone.
The entrance of the cave mansion actually opened to the south. The cultivators of Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion looked happy. Lu Ping took the lead and rushed out.
At this time, the cultivators of Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion didn't care that the two sects were friendly. They swarmed toward the entrance of the cave mansion.
Naturally, the cultivators of the other sects were unwilling to be left behind. They rushed toward the cave mansion. It was unknown who made the first move, but tens of magic tools suddenly smashed down on the heads of the cultivators of the two sects. Although the cultivators of the two sects and the cultivators of the other sects were prepared, such a large-scale attack still left four or five corpses.
Soon after, the mountain top became a state of chaos. The falling dust shook again and gradually covered the surroundings of the cave mansion.
At the same time that Lu Ping rushed out, the cultivators of Zhenling scattered around Lu Ping. Most of the magic tools attacking from the front and the sides were blocked by their fellow disciples. Lu Ping brought out a mid-grade water-attribute magic tool that he obtained from an unknown person and placed it above his head. The Soaring Wing Sword danced in front of him, catching all the attacks that slipped through. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the cave mansion.
Lu Ping swung his left hand and 'Landslide', like a galloping iron mountain, smashed a big hole in the wall of the cave mansion with an unstoppable momentum. Lu Ping broke through the hole and happened to meet the two cultivators of Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion who were the first to rush into the front hall of the cave mansion.
Lu Ping saw that there were three paths in the front hall that led directly to the bottom of the cave mansion. He chose the path in the middle and rushed in, ignoring the two cultivators of Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion.
At this time, a loud sound came from the west wall. Obviously, Lu Ping's method had inspired the cultivators of Xuan Ling Sect. The two cultivators of Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion looked at each other, then each chose a path and rushed in.
The one who rushed in after them was Zhang Weiqing of Xuan Ling Sect. Looking at everything in the cave mansion, he wanted to go straight to the middle path. Anyone could guess that there would be the biggest harvest there. However, he seemed to have thought of something and chose the path on the left and rushed down.
Following him were the cultivators of Zhenling, Hai Yan Sect, and Shui Yan Sect. Both sides fought each other as soon as they met. Then, the cultivators of Xuan Ling Sect also joined in. Following which, the back wall of the palace was also broken, and cultivators rushed in one after another. The front hall of the cave mansion was a mess.
After Lu Ping rushed underground, he released Dabao to roam freely. After moving about three hundred feet, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was an underground cave with a radius of several tens of square meters. The space was even bigger than the cave mansion in the belly of the mountain where Lu Ping lived. Lu Ping looked at a small palace built against the stone wall and rushed in.
The furnishings inside the palace were extremely simple, far less luxurious than the outside. This was a place where cultivators lived and cultivated. On a stone platform, there was a greyish-white cattail hassock. On the hassock, there was a purple jade slip, a jade bottle made of Chalcedony, and a brocade box with layers of seals. Other than these, there was nothing else in the room.
Lu Ping put away the four items, including the hassock, and used his divine sense to confirm that there was nothing else in the room. As soon as he walked out, Dabao appeared in front of him and pulled him to the side. Lu Ping's divine sense had already discovered a spiritual herb garden on the other side. Just as he was about to go there, he saw Dabao pulling him to the other side. Curious, he followed.
Lu Ping looked at the spiritual herb garden in front of him, which was less than half an acre in size, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although there were a few stalks of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the garden, they weren't important enough to be harvested here.
Listening to the noise outside the cave getting closer and closer, Lu Ping thought that it would be a waste of time to go back, so he would first harvest the spiritual herbs in this small garden.
As soon as Lu Ping stepped into the spirit herb garden, the scenery in front of him changed. How was this a spirit herb garden that was less than half an acre in size? It was clearly a large spirit herb garden that was five acres in size. Could this be a spatial array formation?
When Lu Ping was sighing at the wonders of this formation, he only heard a "zhi zhi" sound. It turned out that Dabao had also come in.
Lu Ping was about to praise Dabao, but found that Dabao was forcefully pulling him out. Lu Ping said, "Dabao, this is such a large spiritual herb garden, let's first collect the spiritual herbs here, it's already too late."
Dabao was still unwilling to let go, and continued to pull Lu Ping's trousers. Lu Ping was helpless, and at the same time, he wanted to see what Dabao was trying to do.
Lu Ping took a step back, and suddenly appeared outside the spiritual herb garden. This time, Lu Ping clearly felt that something was wrong. This was not a formation, but more like an artifact.
Dabao took Lu Ping to dig the ground for a while. Lu Ping looked at everything in front of him and finally understood. This was a large spatial artifact that allowed people to freely enter and exit. Legend has it that only Fa Xiang Laozu had this method. Was this Fa Xiang Laozu's immortal cave?
Lu Ping shook his head. If this was Fa Xiang Laozu's immortal cave, the North Sea cultivators of the past would never have missed it. After all, the number of Fa Xiang Laozu in Fei Ling Sect was limited. If one of them did not notice it, wouldn't the many Fa Xiang Laozu's of the North Sea turn the world upside down to search for it?
Lu Ping finally found the main body of this large spatial artifact. It was an open book, and the page of the book was the spiritual herb garden.
Lu Ping channeled his magic power into the book, intending to refine this artifact. However, he found that the book was like a bottomless pit, devouring all of Lu Ping's magic power. The rumbling sound of magic spells coming from the entrance of the cave was getting closer and closer. Clearly, the cultivators in the front hall were restraining each other, delaying their arrival. Moreover, Lu Ping moved quickly after entering this place. Moreover, the Zhenling cultivators in the front hall were intentionally or unintentionally delaying Lu Ping. That was how Lu Ping was able to seize the initiative. However, it was already too late for Lu Ping.
Lu Ping placed two high-quality Essence Rejuvenating Pellets in his mouth and increased the flow of arcane energy into the book-shaped mystic instrument. Finally, before anyone could enter, the book rumbled and the spirit herb garden on the ground floated up into the air. Then, it slowly folded like a closed book. After that, the mystic instrument shrunk to the size of a brick and became a book about half an inch thick. The purple surface of the book was inscribed with the words "Thousand Stalks Millet in the Book".
