In the middle of the meeting hall, all the Dharma adepts of Zhenling's station were gathered. Lei Di did not follow them in. Instead, the moment he arrived at the station, he was dragged by the overjoyed Qin Yu and Qin Gang to look for Lin Yu Laozu.
Qing Hu and the other two were not in the station, but they were Lu Ping's servants in name. Even if they were in the station, they did not have the right to participate in Zhenling's meetings.
In the meeting hall, although Xiang Lou Laozu had the highest seniority, he was an outer elder of Zhenling and did not usually participate in Zhenling's decisions. Although he was sitting at the head of the meeting hall, the person in charge was still Tianshan Laozu.
However, at this time, although everyone was discussing something in low voices, it was obvious that the meeting had not officially started. Everyone was waiting for Lu Ping to return.
However, when Lu Ping stepped into the meeting hall, the people of Zhenling were stunned to see Yin Tianchu behind Lu Ping. Ji Tianxuan jumped up with a shout and said, "Little Lu Ping, you're here too. Haha, I knew it. That's great, that's great. Eh, you, you, you've actually advanced to the mid Dharma stage? Ah, this is too much of a blow. It's not enough for our sect to have the Water Sword Deity, and now there's you! "
Yin Tianchu's arrival obviously made everyone in Zhenling happy. However, Ji Tianxuan's impolite and loud shouting still made Tianqin Laozu, who had been looking better because of Yin Tianchu's arrival with much difficulty. Now, his face darkened and he scolded, "What are you shouting for? Sit down!"
Ji Tianxuan was shocked by the cold expression on Tianqin Laozu's face. He quickly stuck out his tongue at Yin Tianchu and sat down obediently with a smile. Yin Tianchu, who had always been cold, smiled at his good friend, but in the end, he could not bring himself to smile.
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Martial Granduncle, Martial Uncles, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brother Tian Chu came a step late because of his tribulation, but he still came back in the end!"
Yin Tianchu silently stepped forward and bowed to the elders of Zhenling. Then, he stood behind Lu Ping.
Laozu of Tianshan smiled happily and said, "Going through the Heavenly Tribulation is a big thing. Now is the time when we need people. You've come just in time. Let's do it!"
Lu Ping sat down below Tian Feng, and Yin Tianchu sat down next to Ji Tianxuan. Lu Ping took the lead and asked, "Martial Uncle, although our sect has come to help, the sect is still our foundation. If we transfer so many Dharma adepts, will North Sea seem empty?"
Although Xiang Lou Laozu had only brought his ears to the meeting hall, at this time, there were three second-generation disciples, Tianshan, Tianqin, and Tiancheng. Above Lu Ping, there were also third-generation disciples like Li Tianru and Liu Tianyuan, who had more seniority than Lu Ping. However, at this time, Lu Ping had the right to speak in this meeting hall, and everyone in Zhenling had always thought that this was a matter of course.
But this time, it seemed to be a little different. As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, Tianqin, who was beside Laozu of Tianshan, suddenly scolded, "Shut up, when did you have the right to speak? Don't you have any manners!"
This time, not only was Lu Ping stunned and frowned, but the other practitioners in the meeting hall also fell into a strange silence. Tiancheng Laozu glanced at Tianqin, expressionless, and then returned to his previous calm state.
Ever since Tiancheng Laozu's foundation had been severely damaged by Mara in the battle of Frost Island, although he had recovered, it was difficult for his foundation to recover, and he had almost lost the chance to advance to the mid Dharma stage. Because of this, Tiancheng Laozu had become more and more taciturn.
If Lu Ping had not revealed the news of the Samling Five Elements Leaf to him, which restored a glimmer of hope to Tiancheng Laozu. But after so many years, there had been no news of this item, and this made Tiancheng a lot more discouraged.
Tiancheng Laozu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he seemed to know the reason why Tianqin Laozu had suddenly scolded Lu Ping. It was just that Tianqin Laozu was a little surprised that Tianqin Laozu would react at this time.
Tiancheng Laozu coughed and said, "Alright, let's talk about what has happened in the encampment and the battle of Jiuxuan Tower."
Li Tianru was naturally displeased that her junior was being scolded, but the other party was an elder after all, and it was Tiancheng Laozu who was asking questions at this time. Li Tianru suppressed the displeasure in her heart and told Tiancheng Laozu about the recent news of the sects surrounding Mara's army breaking out of the encampment. Liu Tianyuan also added some information, but Lu Ping did not say a word.
After listening to their reports, Tiancheng Laozu nodded, and then changed the topic to talk about Zhenling's current situation in the North Sea.
"This time, the reason why our sect has transferred so many experts into the central mainland cultivation world is, of course, to build up the reputation of our sect, and also to prevent Mara's army from launching another surprise attack on our encampment and causing damage to our encampment."
Although Tiancheng Laozu was speaking frankly to all the practitioners in the conference hall, everyone knew that this was actually Tiancheng Laozu explaining to Lu Ping the question he had previously.
"This time, although our sect has lost two Dharma adepts in the previous battle, as well as Elder Uncle Xiang and Sister Tianqin, two mid Dharma adepts, as well as Disciple Tianfeng who has just entered the Dharma stage, and Brother Lei who is stationed at Huangli Island, in addition to the original practitioners in the encampment, it seems like we have lost more than half of our main force. However, Brother Jiang will be facing his second Thunder Trial soon, and Brother Tianfeng has just passed his first Thunder Trial. Our sect has gained another mid Dharma adept. Tianshang and Tianfeng have also successfully condensed their Dharma powers, and with the addition of Brother Tianchang and Brother Tianhuo, who have taken a shortcut to condense their Dharma powers through a secret technique but have not told anyone about it, our sect's power has increased instead of decreased. Therefore, we do not have to worry about the situation in the North Sea. With Uncle-Master Tianxiang here, everything will be fine."
Tianfeng Ancestor's words not only dispelled the doubts of the other cultivators in the meeting hall, but also raised the morale of Zhen Ling Sect once again after Tianfeng Ancestor passed his first Thunder Tribulation and three new Dharma Adepts. Tianfeng Ancestor's success in overcoming his first Thunder Tribulation and the emergence of three new Dharma Adepts also raised the morale of Zhen Ling Sect.
This time, the meeting did not last for long. After everyone left the meeting hall, Tianshan Laozu called out to Lu Ping alone.
"Back then, Uncle Tianfan and Uncle Tian Xue were the most caring towards your Sister Tianqin, especially your Uncle Tian Xue. Back then, her care for Sister Tianqin had reached the point of spoiling her. This was also one of the external reasons why Sister Tianqin and Sister Tian Ling eventually fell out."
This matter was related to the feud between the previous generations, and Tianshan Laozu obviously did not want to explain it too clearly to Lu Ping. "This time, Uncle Tianfan died, and Uncle Tian Xue was seriously injured. Because of Uncle Tianfan's death, Sister Tianqin's emotions were a little out of control."
"So she's taking her anger out on me?"
Tianshan Laozu laughed bitterly and said, "Most likely so. You and Tianyuan were the first to send the news back to the North Sea, and you were also the one who strongly advocated for us to participate in this battle against Mara. This camp was also chosen by you, but then Mara's army just had to come here …"
Lu Ping felt a little helpless. Although this logic made sense, Lu Ping could hear that it was a little far-fetched, and so he said, "But I heard that Uncle Tianqin seems to have become a lot more difficult to get along with in the sect these few years."
Tianshan Laozu sighed and said, "Are you trying to say that her temper has become a lot more violent these few years?"
Tianshan Laozu did not wait for Lu Ping to reply and continued, "Ever since she forced herself to go through the first thunder trial and was seriously injured, she has been like this. Her potential was almost depleted when she went through the first thunder trial, and she almost lost the possibility of advancing to the late Dharma stage. For someone as proud as her, this is no different from a death sentence in the future."
Lu Ping did not understand and asked, "Was her foundation damaged when she went through the thunder trial?"
Tianshan Laozu said, "Although her foundation was damaged during the thunder trial, it was not serious. Potential is like a practitioner's talent, and it is also equivalent to a practitioner's foundation from the beginning. Sister Tianqin is an alchemist, and she relied too much on elixirs, especially when she broke away from the sect for decades. Without the support of the sect, she could only rely on elixirs to maintain her own cultivation. Although her level of practice did not fall behind, she still lacked some of her own hard work, and her potential was depleted."
Lu Ping thought about it and said, "The Sect Leader still has hope of advancing to the late Dharma stage."
Tianshan Laozu could only smile bitterly and say, "That's right. Actually, for Brother Tianfeng, Brother Tiancheng, whose foundation was not damaged, and the Old Man, advancing to the mid Dharma stage is basically the limit. But Sister Tianqin is different. She was seen as a genius practitioner from the beginning, on par with Brother Jiang, but now she is at the same level as us. The most important thing is that her level of practice is suppressed by Sister Tianling, and with the matter of Tianfan and Tianxue, Laozu, all of these put together, I think you understand!"
Lu Ping walked out of the meeting hall helplessly, and saw Lei Di, the Sixth Elder of Lei Clan, walking towards him.
Lu Ping was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here so soon?"
Sixth Elder of Lei Clan flashed an indifferent expression and said, "Whoever wants to rebuild the Luoxin Sect can do so, but I won't participate."
Lu Ping was stunned and said, "Brother Lei, if you don't participate, with just Qin Yu and Qin Gang, the rebuilding of the Luoxin Sect won't be that easy."
Sixth Elder of Lei Clan snorted coldly and said, "I want them to suffer a great loss, to let them know that rebuilding a sect is not an easy task. With just them alone, they will definitely be badly hurt. But with a Pure Yang practitioner by their side, I think there won't be any problems with their safety. In short, if they want to help, I can, but I won't join the sect. I'm used to being free all my life, and I can't be restricted by others."
At this moment, there was a sudden cheer from the square in front of the station. Lu Ping smiled and did not think there was anything wrong with what Sixth Elder of Lei Clan was doing, so he smiled and said, "Let's go to the square and see what's going on!"
