The setting up of the teleportation formation required a Dharma adept to carry a teleportation formation plate with him and communicate with the power of space along the way. Although this was not a problem for Lu Ping, the only problem was that the process could not be interrupted.
Even so, Lu Ping was bored out of his mind, so he took out two of his biggest gains from his trip to Hearing Waves Island.
The first was naturally the invisible flying sword that Lu Xiaoping had obtained after killing the Water Shura. This flying sword was completely colorless and transparent. Only when it was attacked by other treasures and invaded by the opponent's inner Yuan would it appear in different colors because of the opponent's inner Yuan.
Moreover, this hidden sword had excellent invisibility. No matter how one looked at it, its quality was better than the Waterspirit Sword in Lu Ping's hands.
It was just that this hidden sword was a companion spiritual treasure. Although it had been saved after Lu Ping had killed the Blood Shura, in Lu Ping's hands, it could only be used as an ordinary treasure. As for its invisibility effect, it could not be used at all.
Lu Ping knew that this was because this companion spiritual treasure had not been modified. This caused the hidden sword to treat all inner Yuan other than the fallen Blood Shura as an invasion from the outside. Therefore, after Lu Ping's inner Yuan was injected into the sword, not only did the hidden sword lose its invisibility effect, it became a flying sword of blue and purple with a hint of gold.
Lu Ping reached out and summoned the blue Waterspirit Sword. He did not know if the two could be combined. If it was successful, perhaps the hidden sword's quality could be improved by another level.
If the Blood Shura's companion spiritual treasure had only been modified, no matter how good its quality was, it could at most survive the first Thunder Trial and become a first class spiritual treasure. To survive the second Thunder Trial, the spiritual treasure's quality had to be improved again.
If this invisible hidden sword could be combined with the Waterspirit Sword, although its quality would definitely be greatly improved and it would not be a problem to survive the first Thunder Trial, it would be difficult to say for the second Thunder Trial.
The second treasure was naturally the Fire Asura's Fire Seed that even Chu Hailan didn't hesitate to fight over with Lu Ping.
Lu Ping had thought he was lucky enough to get two Primordial Spirit Treasures at once, but the Fire Shura had died and only the Origin Tinder was left behind.
The companion spiritual treasure that Lu Ping was looking forward to didn't actually have the ability to simulate various spirit fires. It could only greatly increase the power of various fire god arts that Fire Asura cast.
The Fire Shura's attack was strong enough, but the accompanying spiritual treasure in its hand was strictly an auxiliary spiritual treasure, not an offensive one.
The treasure that could simulate various forms of spirit fires was the Origin Tinder left behind by the Fire Shura after its death. This Origin Tinder was actually like the Dharma Form in a cultivator's core space, but compared to the Primordial Spirit Treasure in Mara's hand, the Origin in their bodies was more difficult to obtain. In this case, Lu Ping's luck this time was better than getting two Primordial Spirit Treasures.
The Origin Tinder was suspended in Lu Ping's palm, but Lu Ping did not dare to use his Real Essence to enter it, because Lu Ping's Water Attribute Real Essence would not only be repelled by the Origin Tinder, but would also be immediately damaged by the erosion of Lu Ping's Real Essence.
Lu Ping had already tried it once, and the Origin Tinder, which was already dying, suddenly became even dimmer after coming into contact with Lu Ping's Real Essence.
Lu Ping thought about it and put the Origin Tinder on top of a Spirit Stone. Then, Lu Ping saw that the Spirit Stone began to melt like a candle, and the Spirit Qi contained in it was absorbed by the Origin Tinder, without the slightest leakage.
The Origin Tinder absorbed the Spirit Stone in a flash, but because of the invasion of Lu Ping's Real Essence, the dim Origin Tinder still could not recover to its previous state.
Seeing this, Lu Ping put seven or eight Spirit Stones under the Origin Tinder. After the Origin Tinder swallowed them one by one, the dim Origin Tinder seemed to recover a little.
Lu Ping shouted. This was really a bottomless pit of Spirit Stones. If this thing really had many magical effects like before, who knew how many Spirit Stones it would take to support these magical effects one by one.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and made up his mind. He took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it under the fire seed.
The flame on the Origin Tinder, which had always been calm, immediately jumped. Lu Ping cursed inwardly, and his Divine Sense quickly invaded the flame. Suddenly, a flame appeared in the Origin Tinder, and under the control of his Divine Sense, the flame constantly changed. These were the five kinds of flames that Lu Ping had seen in the hands of the Fire Asura.
When Lu Qin 'er carried Lu Ping to Jing Zhe Island, the time it took them was about the same as Ji Xuan Xuan's wooden bird puppet. This surprised Lu Ping a little. Ji Xuan Xuan was indeed a Grandmaster Puppeteer. But then again, when Lu Ping thought about it, Ji Xuan Xuan had secretly kept a lot of good stuff for himself when he created his avatar. It wouldn't be right if the wooden bird puppet was slower.
When Lu Ping met Tian Kang Laozu, Tian Kang Laozu had already known about Mara's large-scale northward march.
Lu Ping was not too surprised about this. After all, Zhenling had been operating on Jing Zhe Island for a long time. It would be unreasonable to say that there were no hidden forces in the East China Sea.
Lu Ping handed the array disc in his hand to Daoist Xuan Peng. The two third-generation disciples, Wei Xuanheng and Su Xuanpeng, were old acquaintances of Lu Ping when he first entered Fei Ling Island. However, as disciples of Daoist Xuan Xu, they had been stationed on Jing Zhe Island and rarely returned to the North Sea. Therefore, they were not prominent among the third-generation disciples of North Sea Zhenling.
However, Lu Ping knew that the cultivation achievements of these two people were considered outstanding among the third-generation disciples of Zhenling. Wei Xuanheng's cultivation had broken through the late Core Forging Realm. He had sparred with Du Feng before. Although he was no match for Du Feng's murderous swordsmanship that he had honed over the years, his solid cultivation was still recognized by Du Feng.
As for Daoist Xuan Peng's cultivation, although it had fallen a little and he was only one step away from breaking through to the late Core Forging Realm, Daoist Xuan Peng was an array master. His attainments in arrays and prohibitions were not inferior to Black Fox's. It was only because Jing Zhe Island was isolated in the East China Sea that the island's protective array formation needed him to guard it. That was why he had been staying on Jing Zhe Island all this time. Otherwise, with Daoist Xuan Peng's attainments in arrays, he would have been sent back to repair the treasure ship long ago.
When Tiankang Laozu saw that Lu Ping had returned, he knew that the siege on Jing Zhe Island had been resolved, so he said, "You're back at the right time. From the current situation, this group of Mara is most likely heading for the spirit stone mine in Phantom City. Phantom City has already sent out an edict, requesting all sects that have a share of the spirit stone mine in Phantom City to send Dharma adepts there to help guard it. This is to prevent Mara from taking over the spirit stone mine there."
Lu Ping knew the importance of the spirit stone mine there. After all, it was the only large spirit stone mine in the hands of the humans overseas. In addition, there were four other branches that were also large mines. Such an important place was related to the supply of spirit stones to the entire overseas training world. Naturally, they could not afford to lose it, so he said, "Do you want me to go on behalf of our sect?"
Tiankang Laozu shook his head and said, "According to our sect's share of the mine, we need at least one mid Dharma adept to go this time. So this time, the Old Man will go personally, but you will have to follow him as well."
Lu Ping did not ask for the reason and nodded directly. However, Tiankang Laozu explained, "You will go with the Old Man. The main reason is that after the various sects have received their share of spirit stones, you will escort them back to the sect."
Tiankang Laozu paused, then smiled and said, "This time, Mara is heading north on a large scale, and all the sects are gathered in Phantom City. Although there is a good chance of protecting the five large and large spirit stone mines, we still have to be careful. In the past, every five years, the various sects would go to Phantom City to collect their share of spirit stones. One of the tasks of the Old Man guarding Jing Zhe Island is to collect the spirit stones there on time. This time, not only will they be distributed early, but they will also be mined in excess during the battle with Mara."
At this moment, Lu Ping seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Senior Uncle, do you think that Zhang Xiyi will also go to Phantom City this time? After all, the Blue Sea Sect has a share of the mine there."
Tiankang Laozu already knew the purpose of Lu Ping's trip to the East Sea this time. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. The Blue Sea Sect's base in the Perished Land is a small island that is usually guarded by that little brat Dong Yun. At the last auction in Phantom City, our sect won a great victory and entered the top five of the medium-sized sects in one fell swoop, greatly increasing our share. The Blue Sea Sect and Xuan Ling Sect both returned in defeat. Because Xuan Ling Sect has the support of the Crystal Palace, although their ranking dropped one place because of our sect, their losses are not that great. The Blue Sea Sect, on the other hand, dropped two or three places. However, because of this, these two sects only need to send out one early Dharma adept."
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Since they want to retrieve the spirit stone mine, it's hard to say if Dong Yun Laozu is thinking the same thing as you. If Zhang Xiyi is on the island now, I'm afraid Dong Yun Laozu will also ask Zhang Xiyi to escort the spirit stone mine back first."
Tiankang Laozu thought for a moment and nodded. "That's true. At this time, Mara is heading north, and the Perished Land is in a state of panic. I don't think Dong Yun will be at ease leaving the spirit stone mine in the hands of a Core Forging disciple."
Tiankang Laozu saw the killing intent flashing in Lu Ping's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't say anything about working together to defeat the enemy, Old Man. Although you have defeated him before, it's not easy to kill him. Moreover, the situation in the Perished Land is changing rapidly. Mara, humans, and demons are everywhere. It's better to be careful not to let others take advantage of the situation."
"Disciple will remember Martial Uncle's words!"
Lu Ping nodded, but then he seemed to have thought of something. He chuckled and said, "Grand Martial Uncle, we have a chance to get our hands on a mid-sized spirit stone mine. Why don't we do something big first?"
