It was obvious that this was a grotto-heaven in the Nine Profound Tower that was specially used to cultivate spiritual herbs. The terrain inside the grotto-heaven was uneven, but it was filled with spiritual herb gardens. All kinds of spiritual herbs grew in different types, and they grew in different areas. Occasionally, there were some medicinal trees that formed a lush forest.
The rich spiritual Qi nourished all the life in the grotto-heaven. Lu Ping felt as if he could feel the vigorous vitality in the grotto-heaven even as he breathed.
"Spirit-seeking Mouse?"
The Wood Phoenix cultivator on the right looked in the direction that Dabao had disappeared in bewilderment. It was unknown whether he was asking Lu Ping, the pale-faced Wood Phoenix cultivator on the left, or perhaps he was muttering to himself.
Lu Ping seemed to know that Dabao had not gone far. He said loudly, "Be careful. Don't make it too obvious. Only take what's useful. Don't give yourself away too much."
The two Wood Phoenixes looked at each other. It was obvious that these people were treating them as nothing. Moreover, it seemed like they were planning to make a small, long-term investment.
Qing Hu also looked at Lu Ping in surprise. "Are you planning to come again in the future?"
Lu Ping looked in the direction of the two Wood Phoenixes and said, "Whether or not I can come again depends on these two seniors."
When Qing Hu looked over, the two Wood Phoenixes were already whispering to each other. She couldn't tell what they were discussing.
Meanwhile, Lu Ping once again summoned the Amethyst Queen Bee from the House of Gold. He ordered her to lead her subjects into the grotto-heaven in a grandiose manner. Similarly, according to Lu Ping's orders, the Amethyst Bees would not leave the thirty kilometer radius that Lu Ping's divine sense could cover.
"Amethyst Bees!"
The two Wood Phoenixes didn't even have time to discuss. They stared dumbfoundedly at the three thousand Amethyst Bees charging into the sea of spiritual herbs under the Amethyst Queen Bee's guidance.
However, in just a short while, the two of them gasped again as they watched the three fourteen or fifteen-year-old children walking into the cave. One of them exclaimed in a low voice, "Green Sea Snake!"
The other person muttered to himself, "Wind Snake, Water Snake, and Ice Snake. The descendants of the three strongest tribes of the Green Sea Snake."
Another two streaks of light descended from the sky. They were two attractive middle-aged women, both of them at the early Dharma stage. It was obvious that they had come to meet up with the two Wood Phoenix adepts because they had discovered the abnormality of this place. However, just like the two Wood Phoenix adepts, these two women did not attack Lu Ping and Green Fox.
Green Fox was a little uneasy as she said, "What's going on? If these four were to join forces against us, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time. But they're all from the Wood Phoenix tribe. Once they warn us, we'll be like turtles in a jar!"
Lu Ping smiled faintly. "If these people really wanted to hand us over to the Nine Mystical Tower, they would have warned the Nine Mystical Tower the moment we entered this cave. In fact, they didn't do anything at all."
"But when you came in just now, they attacked!"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "The two Wood Phoenixes indeed have strong training, but their abilities may not be that high. Even if you were to attack, those two might not be able to defeat you even if they joined forces!"
Green Fox was in disbelief. "How is that possible? The Wood Phoenix tribe is a top-level demon clan, and they are the direct descendants of the Luan Daoist, who is as famous as the Fire Phoenix. With their level of training, they might not be weaker than me among the same level of practitioners."
Lu Ping laughed loudly. "How many Wood Phoenixes are left of the Wood Phoenix tribe in the world of practitioners? I'm afraid the only ones left are the Wood Phoenix slaves that are raised in the caves of the various holy lands to cultivate spirit herbs. They are sacrificed at specific times to help the practitioners of the holy lands break through the bottleneck of their training. How strong do you think these Wood Phoenix slaves are? In order to control these demon slaves, why would the holy lands allow them to grow freely? "
Green Fox naturally understood the logic behind this, but she still asked, "No matter what, the Wood Luan Tribe is one of the most powerful tribes among the Monster Race. They have inherited their bloodline and memories, and this grotto-heaven is rich in spirit Qi and spirit herbs. It seems like the Nine Mystical Tower isn't controlling them, but imprisoning them at most."
Lu Ping laughed. "You don't know this, but although these top-level demons have inherited their bloodlines and memories, these things can only support their training before they reach the Core Forging stage. If they want to reach the Dharma stage and still maintain their advantage as a top-level demon clan, then they have to stay in the secret cave of the Wood Phoenix tribe for a long time. Otherwise, even if they reach the Dharma stage, without the secret techniques and cultivation methods of the Wood Phoenix tribe, they can only gradually become mediocre. Furthermore, they have been imprisoned here their entire lives, and have never had any experience in fighting with others. Just now, when the two of them fought, they completely relied on their cultivation to win. How strong do you think they are?"
The conversation between Lu Ping and Green Fox was not deliberately hidden, so the four Wood Phoenix cultivators heard it clearly. When Lu Ping finished speaking, the pale-faced Wood Phoenix cultivator could not help but ask, "Who are you? How do you know so many secrets of the Wood Phoenix tribe?"
Lu Ping smiled. "In the end, you can't hold it in any longer. Naturally, we came in from outside the Nine Mystical Tower. As for what method we used to break through the protective array of the Nine Mystical Tower and enter, I believe that only the Wood Phoenix seniors know."
The face of the Wood Phoenix cultivator with the silk scarf on his head immediately changed. He snorted coldly and said, "What are you talking about? We don't understand what you mean!"
Lu Ping did not comment on this person's denial. Instead, he answered the question of the Wood Phoenix cultivator, saying, "Although the Wood Phoenix tribe is on the verge of extinction, it is not extinct. I once had a good friend of the Wood Phoenix tribe, and he is currently cultivating in the secret cave of the Wood Phoenix tribe in the East Sea, so he knows a lot about your clan."
"Impossible!"
"Is that true?"
The silk scarf Wood Phoenix and the pale-faced Wood Phoenix almost blurted out at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, both seeing shock and hope in the other's eyes. In the end, it was the silk scarf Wood Phoenix who said with a slight tremble, "The Wood Phoenix tribe of the cultivation world really did not go extinct?"
Lu Ping shrugged and said, "No, but I'm afraid it won't be long. Anyway, I've only seen one Wood Luan before. I've never heard any news about the Wood Luan Clan in the cultivation world for the past few hundred years. Of course, there are rumors that there are ancient spirit birds and beasts like you in the sacred land. But I'm afraid your identities are a bit awkward, so no one will treat you as part of the Wood Luan Clan.
Lu Ping's words were extremely straightforward. The silk scarf cultivator's face showed anger, and the pale-faced Wood Phoenix became even paler. The two female Wood Phoenix cultivators also looked at Lu Ping with unsightly expressions, but there was also a hint of loneliness.
Qing Hu, on the other hand, became even more nervous, afraid that the Wood Phoenix would be angered by Lu Ping's sharp words and send a warning to the Nine Mystical Tower. Even though she still felt puzzled that the Wood Phoenix had not sent a warning to the Nine Mystical Tower, this was still what she hoped for. However, when she thought about infiltrating the inheritance cave of the Nine Mystical Tower, she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.
"Fellows, if you have anything to say, just say it. Looks like this Sky Grotto is a place specially used by Nine Profound Tower to grow spiritual herbs. You fellows must be the spiritual plant farmers here, right? However, given how important this place is, it is impossible for Nine Profound Tower to not send some cultivators to check on it frequently.
In Qing Hu's eyes, Lu Ping's words were as rude as possible, but the four Aspect Azure Luan became calmer and calmer after hearing Lu Ping's words. It was truly strange.
"You came in through the passage opened by the Thieving Heaven Laozu?"
The four of them whispered to each other again. This time, it was one of the two female Wood Phoenix cultivators who spoke.
Lu Ping's expression was one of certainty. "I didn't think that you would still be waiting after ten thousand years. It seems that the Thieving Heaven Laozu really did have some secret agreement with you when he entered this place. For you to be willing to keep this secret for almost ten thousand years, it must be because the Thieving Heaven Laozu promised to help you escape from the bondage of monster slaves."
The female Wood Phoenix cultivator said fiercely, "Who would be willing to be a monster slave from birth? In every generation, other than leaving behind a few seeds, the rest of the clansmen would disappear. Needless to say, we know that they were killed by the Nine Mystical Tower and used to grow rare herbs to increase their cultivation."
The other female Wood Phoenix cultivator thought of something and asked in surprise, "You, you didn't know about this at all?"
Lu Ping smiled. "That's right, but now I can roughly guess what is going on."
The pale-faced Wood Phoenix cultivator asked, "Then what's the deal with that Spirit Seeking Mouse of yours?"
Lu Ping said calmly, "He is my follower and also my brother."
"Follower? Is there still such an existence in the cultivation world? You actually did not place restrictions on their divine senses? "
The Silk Turban Wood Phoenix was somewhat surprised and emotional. The other Wood Phoenixes' expressions changed, even the green fox had a strange expression.
Lu Ping found it funny: "After placing restrictions on them, they can only be monster slaves and spirit pets like you, how can they be followers, how can they be brothers?"
Lu Ping did not care about what the Wood Phoenixes were thinking, he said directly: "Back then, Thieving Heaven Laozu died from his injuries after leaving this grotto-heaven, he naturally could not return to save you, and he also could not leave behind his last words to save you."
Lu Ping did not care about their expressions, he continued: "And if I am not wrong, the fatal injuries on Thieving Heaven Laozu's body were likely caused by your ancestor, right? Rather than saying that Thieving Heaven Laozu agreed to save you, it is more accurate to say that he was forced to do so. "
