Lu Ping was already cursing. Zhang Weiqing knew that he was going to lose, but he still wanted to force Lu Ping to hand over all his treasures. Lu Ping had been thinking about how to hide some of the spirit herbs and pills for his own cultivation and pill concoction. But now, Zhang Weiqing had revealed all his treasures in the open. Even if he wanted to play some tricks, it would be impossible.
Fortunately, this kind of treasure competition was only limited to resources related to cultivation. If magic tools, spirit stones, and so on were included, Lu Ping would cry to death.
At this time, Zhang Weiqing was forced to the edge of a cliff. It was his suggestion that forced Xuan Ling Sect to reveal all their treasures. But in the end, they still lost to Zhenling. Seeing that half of the sect's treasures were about to be taken away by Zhenling, Zhang Weiqing could already feel Perfected Master Feng Xuzao's murderous gaze lingering on his neck.
Zhang Weiqing looked like a gambler with bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, he carefully took out a jade box that was sealed with a spirit-sealing talisman. The thirty Perfected Masters' eyes lit up. They were all knowledgeable people. Naturally, they knew that the spirit-sealing talisman was the work of a Core Forging Perfected Master. Then, what was inside the box was naturally exciting.
Zhang Weiqing's bloodshot eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked at Lu Ping and said, "This is the last treasure of Xuan Ling Sect. It is also our biggest treasure on Fei Ling Island. If you can win this, then there's no need to compete anymore."
As he finished speaking, he removed the spirit-sealing talisman and opened the box. The Perfected Masters gasped in shock. Feng Xuzao quickly took a few steps forward. When he saw what was inside the box, his expression finally changed.
"This is …"
"Spiritual item!"
"Mystic-grade low-grade, meteorite gold!"
… …
The discussions of the Perfected Masters shocked the Blood Condensation cultivators. They were shocked at the Perfected Masters' loss of composure. Then, they were shocked at the preciousness of a spiritual item.
Meteorite gold was a metal-type spiritual item. Even though it was the lowest grade among spiritual items, Mystic-grade low-grade, every kind of spiritual item was a rare treasure. It meant that a Core Forging Enlightened Master could advance from early-stage to mid-stage, or even mid-stage to late-stage. It was something that every Perfected Master wanted. It was common in the cultivation world for Core Forging Enlightened Masters to fight life-or-death battles for spiritual items.
This was Zhang Weiqing's last resort, and it was also his greatest trump card to turn the tables!
At this moment, Feng Xutao finally stroked his beard in satisfaction. All the Enlightened Masters in his sect also believed that Zhen Ling Sect would definitely lose. Enlightened Master Liu and Enlightened Master Guo's confidence began to waver as well.
The only ones who remained calm were Lu Ping, Wei Zi-Heng, Wei Zi-Heng, and the others.
The Spiritual Masters present immediately discovered this situation, and the noise on the scene immediately quieted down. However, the Spiritual Masters in private were still discussing incessantly.
"These kids are so calm. Do they have more tricks up their sleeves?"
"I don't think so. I don't think Zhenling's kids know how precious spiritual items are."
"It's hard to say. Maybe they have a spiritual item with them."
"Spiritual items are extremely rare. Xuan Ling Sect's cultivators are lucky enough to get one. If Zhenling gets another one, there might be some Core Forging cultivators who destroy their own cultivation to look for a spiritual item the next time True Spirit Island opens."
"Or maybe it's a spiritual pill that Laozu cultivators use?"
"That's even more impossible. You don't even sound like you. Dharma Laozu cultivators only have a few types of spiritual pills, and each of them is comparable to a spiritual item. But don't forget, Fei Ling Island was plowed by dozens of Laozu cultivators. How could there be anything left?"
…
The Perfected Masters expressed their opinions. Perfected Guo Xuanshan was getting impatient. He shouted, "Kids, if you have any other tricks up your sleeves, use them now. Otherwise, you'll lose half of the items on the ground."
Wei Zi-Heng and the others looked at Lu Ping. The Perfected Masters couldn't help but look forward to seeing if this youngster, who had spent so much during the treasure battles, would bring them another surprise.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, seemed to be plotting something in his mind. However, to the others, Lu Ping seemed to be hesitating about something.
The Perfected Masters naturally thought that Lu Ping did not have a treasure that was comparable to the Fallen Essence Gold. Perfected Guo Xuanshan was the first to change his expression. Perfected Master Liu Xuanling also had a serious look on his face.
No one had expected that the disciples of Fei Ling Island would reap such a huge harvest. It was so huge that even the Perfected Masters of Core Forging Realm found it hard to choose. At this time, no matter who lost, half of the resources would be worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Even for Zhen Ling Sect and Xuan Ling Sect, it was like cutting off their flesh.
At this time, Feng Xu-Dao suddenly said, "Kid, it's normal if you can't take out a treasure of equal value. After all, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures belong to the virtuous ones. It's just that you haven't taken out the spirit herbs from Fei Ling Island yet. Are you trying to cheat? "
Feng Xu-Dao was talking nonsense. Just now, Xuan Ling Sect was suppressed by Zhenling. Even without Lu Ping's help, Zhenling was far ahead in the gathering of spirit herbs. At that time, none of the Perfected Masters asked Lu Ping to take out the spirit herbs.
Now that Feng Xu-Dao thought that victory was in his grasp, he started to scheme for the spirit herbs in Lu Ping's hands.
Perfected Guo Xuanshan snorted angrily. "Old dog Feng, you shameless bastard!"
Feng Xu-Dao sneered. "I'm speaking the truth. What did I say wrong? Do you want to enlighten me?"
Perfected Guo Xuanshan snorted coldly. He put on a straight face and stopped talking.
At this time, a young voice suddenly said, "What Perfected Master Feng said is reasonable. According to Perfected Master, if I, Zhenling, win, I, Zhenling, will get half of this Fallen Gold Essence. Am I right?"
The person who spoke was Lu Ping. Feng Xu-Dao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this kid really has a treasure that is comparable to the Fallen Gold Essence? If so, what I said just now would be like shooting myself in the foot. However, as a Perfected Master in the Late Stage of Core Forging, how could he go back on his words in front of so many people? Not to mention, he didn't believe that Lu Ping could really take out a treasure that is comparable to a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.
Hence, Feng Xu-Dao looked at Lu Ping with disdain and said, "Of course!"
His words were resolute and decisive, showing the decisive style of a Core Forging Enlightened Master. All the disciples looked at him with admiration.
"Oh," Lu Ping said and said, "I'm sure Perfected Master's words carry enormous weight."
After saying that, he flipped a storage bag on the ground. Nearly 7,000 stalks of 500-year-old spiritual herbs and 120 stalks of 1,000-year-old spiritual herbs fell in the middle of Zhenling's pile of spiritual herbs. Even Wei Zi-Heng, Su Zipeng, and the others who came to Fei Ling Island with him didn't know that Lu Ping had collected so many spiritual herbs. They were all surprised.
On the other hand, Feng Xu-Dao, Zhang Weiqing, and the other Xuan Ling Sect cultivators were overjoyed. Zhang Weiqing and the others had guessed that Lu Ping's harvest was bountiful, but they didn't expect it to be this bountiful.
Lu Ping looked at the spiritual herbs on the ground and counted them in his heart. Only then did he realize that about half of them were his spoils of war. In the 18 days since Fei Ling Island opened, the number of cultivators who died in his hands had reached 23. Out of the 200 cultivators who entered Fei Ling Island, almost one out of every eight died in his hands.
Lu Ping looked at the greedy expressions on Zhang Weiqing and the others. He turned to Enlightened Master Liu and Enlightened Master Guo and said, "Two Enlightened Masters, disciple found a dying flame on Fei Ling Island. Disciple's knowledge is shallow, so I don't know what kind of spiritual fire it is. I'd like to ask the two Enlightened Masters to appraise it."
Having said that, Lu Ping took out a spirit-gathering plate that he found in the secret underground chamber of the Artifact Refining Hall. The bean-sized flame on the plate had been nurtured by Lu Ping with dozens of mid-grade spirit stones over the past half a month. It was no longer on the verge of death. Instead, it had swelled to twice its original size. It was lively and full of vitality once again.
When Lu Ping took out the spirit-gathering plate, dozens of divine senses had already wrapped around the flame on the plate. Several Enlightened Masters involuntarily took a few steps in Lu Ping's direction.
Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan shouted angrily, "Brat, you actually got such a good thing!"
Although Enlightened Master Guo was talking to Lu Ping, his tone was directed towards the Enlightened Masters who were eager to give it a try. In a flash, he appeared in front of Lu Ping and took the spirit-gathering plate in his hand.
Lu Ping knew that once he took out the flame, it might cause a violent reaction from the Enlightened Masters present. Therefore, when he saw Enlightened Master Guo coming to his side, he handed the spirit-gathering plate to him. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that some evil Enlightened Master wouldn't casually kill him and snatch the spiritual fire from his hand.
The Enlightened Masters who were disturbed by the spiritual fire withdrew their outstretched feet in embarrassment. Enlightened Master Liu took a step forward and stood next to Enlightened Master Guo. He said, "Mid-grade spiritual fire, Geocentric Melting Flame. What else does Fellow Daoist Feng have to say?"
At this time, Enlightened Master Feng Xutao was stunned by this dramatic turn of events. When he heard Enlightened Master Liu's words, he angrily flung his sleeves, turned around, and flew in the direction of Xuan Ling Sect. He had lost all his face today.
Seeing that Feng Xutao had left on his own, Enlightened Master Liu didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he turned to another Enlightened Master of Xuan Ling Sect and said, "Enlightened Master Lin, how do you think we should split the meteorite gold?"
Enlightened Master Lin looked at Senior Brother Feng who left in a huff and smiled helplessly. He couldn't leave now. Otherwise, Xuan Ling Sect would go back on its word, and how would it have a foothold in the North Sea in the future?
Enlightened Master Lin pondered for a while and said, "Enlightened Master Liu, you should know that once it is split, not only will the spiritual item's vitality be greatly damaged, its effectiveness will also be greatly reduced. Can you allow me to find a replacement after I return to my sect?"
Enlightened Master Liu knew that it was enough to force Xuan Ling Sect to admit defeat when it came to spiritual items. If he insisted on making a fuss about the spiritual item, Xuan Ling Sect might get angry and find an excuse to renege on their debt. So, he said, "In that case, I, Zhenling, will not go too far. All the Enlightened Masters from the various sects can be my witnesses. I will give your sect one month to find a replacement. After one month, I believe Xuan Ling Sect will be able to maintain its position in the North Sea."
Enlightened Master Lin didn't have the mood to stay any longer. After he agreed, he left with Zhang Weiqing and the others, who looked as if they had lost their parents, and left with half of the spiritual herbs and spiritual pills. Zhenling won the battle of treasures, and Xuan Ling Sect lost completely!
