Lu Qin-er was originally Lu Ping's strongest spiritual pet. Even Samling was at most on par with her in the rain.
However, because the Heaven and Earth Spirit Objects that Lu Qin-er needed were really difficult to find, her cultivation was once again stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of the Core Forging Realm after passing through the middle and late stages of the Core Forging Realm.
Lu Ping put in a lot of effort to find a heaven-ranked mid-grade wind-fire dual-elemental spirit for Lu Qin 'er. Once, he even found a heaven-ranked low-grade wind-fire dual-elemental spirit.
Originally, Lu Qin-er had planned to advance to the peak of the Core Forging Realm, but in the end, Lu Ping was reluctant to waste Lu Qin-er's talent. In the end, Lu Qin-er relied on the bottleneck of the peak of the Core Forging Realm for 20 to 30 years.
Before that, Samling's cultivation had advanced to the peak of the Core Forging Realm, and his cultivation had surpassed Lu Qin-er. Lu Hai had even successfully condensed his Dharma Power a few years ago, and Lu Bi and Lu Ling-er were only a thin film away from the Dharma Power stage.
This time, Lu Ping finally found the Wind and Fire Jade Wall, a mid-grade Heaven Stage Wind and Fire Spirit Object, from Tu Gaoshan's body. Impatiently, he took Dabao to open up the underground secret room and sent the Spirit Object to Lu Qin-er.
Lu Qin-er had stayed in the ninth stage of the Core Forging Realm for a long time, and had accumulated enough foundation. She only lacked this last opportunity.
After handing over the two little wooden birds to Lu Taohua, Lu Ping used twenty-five top-grade spirit stones to refer to the simplest Spirit Gathering Formation in the Wuxing School's Formation Inheritance Explanation. He used the Five Element Ring as the formation plate and told Lu Qin-er to refine the Heaven and Earth Spirit Objects for cultivation before returning to the secret room.
Not far away, Dabao's strange laughter came from another secret room, as if he had obtained some rare treasure. Lu Ping was too lazy to pay attention to him. He ordered Lu Hai to warn and protect him. Lu Ping chose a secret room and immersed himself in cultivation. Lu Bi and Lu Ling-er also began to retreat, ready to welcome the condensation of the Dharma Power.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Linglong's wine cauldron rose from behind Lu Ping. Then the mouth of the cauldron slightly tilted, and a pure purple-blue light condensed along the edge of the cauldron into a small pillar of spirit light. It directly fell towards the top of Lu Ping's head.
Without waiting for the pillar of spirit light to fall, a small cyclone suddenly formed above Lu Ping's head. Then the purple-blue pillar of spirit light disappeared into the cyclone. Then, a purple-blue light slowly hung down around Lu Ping's body. Countless small purple-blue light seeped out from the light shield and rushed towards Lu Ping's body like moths to a flame.
Linglong's wine cauldron could barely contain half of the Qing Ming River's water vein. Linglong was only a first-tribulation spirit treasure. Although it could barely contain the water vein, after a long time, the essence of the water vein would evaporate and be wasted. Therefore, Lu Ping would focus on cultivation whenever he had time. He wanted to refine the water vein in the wine cauldron and convert it into cultivation as soon as possible.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Lu Ping. It was said that the water vein of the Qing Ming River was formed because of Peng Daoren, and the Yulan River was bought because of Jiao Daoren. Because the two Heaven Splitting Laozu didn't get along, the two water veins were not compatible.
Originally, Lu Ping was still worried that the "North Sea Wave Listening Formula" that he was practicing could almost be confirmed to be the water vein left behind by Jiao Daoren, one of the forty-nine true spirit inheritances left behind by the Seventh Patriarch. If that was the case, would it be like the other two water veins, where Lu Ping's technique would be unable to refine the water vein of the Qing Ming River? Or would the refined inner Yuan conflict with the inner Yuan that Lu Ping had originally trained in?
However, this situation did not seem to have existed from the beginning. Moreover, as Lu Ping continued to refine the inner Yuan, the inner Yuan that the Qing Ming River had transformed into was vast and mighty. Even with Lu Ping's current cultivation of the mid Dharma stage, he could clearly feel that his own cultivation was increasing significantly.
A month later, the space in front of Lu Ping fluctuated. Lu Ping, who was in the middle of his training, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he drew a line in front of him with his index finger, and a circular space tunnel suddenly formed. A voice transmission jade talisman shot out from the tunnel and was grabbed by Lu Ping.
The contents of the jade talisman surprised Lu Ping. It mainly introduced to Lu Ping the general situation of the Nine Mystical Tower and the increasing number of cultivators from various sects and sects that had gathered there.
Eighth Sister Zhu was able to escape from the Nine Mystical Tower, which was surrounded by the North Mara's army. Naturally, she had a secret channel that allowed her to contact the Nine Mystical Tower.
According to the Nine Mystical Tower, although the current Nine Mystical Tower could still hold on for a period of time, they had already suffered heavy losses. Including Eighth Sister Zhu, two of the six Pure Yang cultivators of the Nine Mystical Tower had already fallen. In addition, they were seriously injured after killing the Sky Demon and could no longer fight. The Nine Mystical Tower only had four Pure Yang cultivators left.
Thirty to forty percent of the remaining late Dharma adepts had fallen, and the remaining ones were all injured. As for the other early and middle Dharma adepts and Core Forging adepts, the losses were even more uncountable.
Such heavy losses were difficult for a holy land to bear. Perhaps Eighth Sister Zhu was exaggerating, but at least the two Pure Yang cultivators who had fallen were definitely true. It could be said that the Nine Mystical Tower had really reached a point where they could not afford to delay any longer.
After seeing this, Lu Ping revealed a slightly mocking smile. It was true that the Nine Mystical Tower had suffered heavy losses, but if they had reached a critical point where they could not afford to delay any longer, it was just to fool some low-level adepts who did not know the truth.
How could the foundations of the six holy lands be so simple!
In the past few days of communicating with Lin Yu Laozu, Lu Ping could tell from his words that the six holy lands were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Think about the Treasured Cauldron of the Universe in Wuxing School. That was one of the six divine weapons of opening the heavens. The Nine Mystical Tower was also a holy land. Could it be that they did not have a treasure that was comparable?
Moreover, the Five Pure Yang Warriors could bring such a treasure like the Treasured Cauldron of the Universe out of Wuxing School without any qualms. Were they not afraid that someone would take the Treasured Cauldron away or that someone would fire up their old nest? Or perhaps they were not afraid at all, because there was still a presence in Wuxing School that could hold their ground. Then what would such a presence be? Would such a presence also exist in the Nine Mystical Tower?
The six holy lands were all existences that could be traced back to the time of opening the heavens. How many trump cards did they hide that were not known to others? How strong were their foundations? How many secrets were buried in them? Other than themselves, no one else would know.
It was only in times of real danger that these hidden things would have the opportunity to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
This time, in order to attract all the cultivators in the world to fight the Nine Mystical Tower, Lu Ping also learned an unexpected secret. The six holy lands seemed to be in control of a top secret location. The location of this top secret location was not a secret in the eyes of the six holy lands, large sects, and carefree pure Yang cultivators. However, at the level that Lu Ping and Zhenling were at, they were clearly not qualified to know about it. Now, they planned to make this secret public and use it as a reward for participating in the battle of the Nine Mystical Tower.
It was said that after Eighth Sister Zhu suggested it, Xiao Baiyu, Qi Fan Laozu, and Lin Yu Laozu fought for it with all their might. However, the pure Yang cultivators from the other five holy lands obviously did not agree. In fact, if it was not for the crisis that the Nine Mystical Tower was facing, Eighth Sister Zhu would not have abandoned the other five holy lands and stood together with Xiao Baiyu and the others.
For the six holy lands to be able to stand tall since the beginning of the world, everyone knew that there were conflicts, schemes, and grudges between them. However, it was even more ridiculous to say that there was no tacit understanding, cooperation, or alliance between them. When faced with someone challenging the position of the six holy lands, they would be more united than ever.
When Xiao Baiyu strongly invited Lin Yu Laozu to come, Lu Ping figured out something. Xiao Baiyu was determined to stand on the opposite side of the six holy lands. If he wanted the six holy lands to give in, the only thing he could do was to use pure Yang cultivators like Qi Fan Laozu, Feng Lu, and Yuwen Xiaotian, as well as the large sects behind them, as well as cultivators like Lin Yu Laozu, who represented the identity of a rogue cultivator.
In fact, he had found a good opportunity. When the Nine Mystical Tower was besieged by Mara's army, Eighth Sister Zhu had no choice but to stand on his side. As a result, the alliance of the six holy lands had to be broken.
A month later, Lu Ping came out of seclusion. At this time, more and more cultivators had begun to gather outside the Nine Mystical Mountain. Only at this time could Lu Ping feel the prosperity of the cultivation world of Central Plains, where there were as many sects and cultivators as there were hairs on a cow.
The cultivators who had rushed over from various parts of the Central Plains and even those who had come from overseas had gathered together. Those who belonged to sects would occupy a better location and display their signboards. As for those who did not belong to any sects, they would each have their own hideouts. At that very moment, however, a large market had spontaneously formed outside Nine Profound Mountain. The battle between Nine Profound Tower and Demon Luo was unavoidable. Thus, the eve of the battle was naturally the best time to do business.
Lu Ping wandered around the market casually. At the same time, he also looked at the situation in the market. He secretly praised the Central Plains for being a paradise for cultivation. Thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and spiritual treasures could be sold in the open, and there seemed to be a lot of them.
Lu Ping even saw an early Core Forging adept take out a mid-grade alchemy cauldron to trade for something. If this was the North Sea, an early Core Forging adept would not dare to do such a thing. The moment he stepped out of the market, he would probably be killed for his treasures.
Not far away, the two brothers, Qin Yu and Qin Gang, hurried over when they saw Lu Ping appear. Although the two of them were early Dharma adepts, they knew their own strengths. Among early Dharma adepts, their abilities could only be considered average. In front of a mid Dharma adept like Lu Ping, who could kill late Dharma adepts without hesitation, they did not dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect. This was what Lin Yu Laozu had instructed them to do before.
"Greetings, Brother Lu. I will be counting on Brother Lu to take care of us this time."
Lu Ping smiled and nodded, saying, "Not a problem. However, now that the two of you are temporarily joining my Zhenling side, it will not be the same as when the next person is free and unfettered. No matter what, you have to show your name here."
