Harvests were always exciting moments. Among the twelve white sharks, six of them were at the late Blood Condensation Realm. The shark demons had a lot of good stuff on them. For example, the shark demons' fangs were excellent spiritual materials for forging magic tools. Niu Dazhuang, who got seventy-two fangs, was already pestering Chen Lian to forge a high-grade magic tool, a mace. This guy was very interested in violent weapons.
Shark demons' fins were not only good ingredients for cultivators, but Lu Ping also had a few pill recipes that used shark fins as ingredients. The shark monster's fins and tail were also extraordinary. At the very least, Lu Ping's Soaring Wing Swords weren't able to gain the upper hand. Especially the dorsal fin that Lu Ping had chopped off with all his might. Lu Ping had already kept it away.
"Haha, look at this!" With Chen Lian's help, Zhong Jian and Ma Yu killed a Seventh Level Blood Condensation Realm shark demon. There were actually seven Condensed Blood Pearls in it.
Zhong Jian and Ma Yu were both at the peak of the Sixth Level Blood Condensation Realm, only one step away from the late Blood Condensation Realm. Although the Condensed Blood Pearls didn't match their cultivation techniques, they could still exchange them for Condensed Blood Pearls that they needed. After this hunting mission, the two of them would definitely break through to the late Blood Condensation Realm.
The group hid in the monster territory for several days until they discovered and eliminated the group of shark monsters. Naturally, Lu Ping and the others realized that Liu Ziyuan and the other two senior martial brothers were carrying a secret mission from the sect.
Just like Liu Ziyuan, Zhong Jian was also a disciple of Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan. Although he was only an in-name disciple, he had a good relationship with Liu Ziyuan, and Liu Ziyuan also took good care of this Little Junior Brother. Zhong Jian saw that everyone had finished collecting the spoils of war and Liu Ziyuan had instructed everyone to rest on a coral reef, so he came over and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, we've been concealing our tracks these few days, is it because of this group of Shark Demons?"
Everyone had their own questions. Hearing Zhong Jian's question, everyone who was recovering their arcane energy turned to look at him.
Liu Ziyuan laughed. "Everyone can see it, but you just can't hold it in!"
Zhong Jian smiled embarrassedly. Fang Ziyan, who was next to him, said with a smile, "Since the mission has been completed, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Do you still remember the battle that made Han Weiyun famous by Xuan Ling Sect as one of the Eighteen Northern Sea Generals? "
When everyone heard Fang Ziyan mention Han Weiyun, they all laughed.
Speaking of this Han Weiyun, after being besieged by the demonic beasts, Xuan Ling Sect praised him as a hero who turned the tide of the battle. Even though he was defeated, he still had a glorious image. Because of this, Xuan Ling Sect managed to become one of the North Sea's Eighteen Generals. As a result, Xuan Ling Sect also occupied two seats in the Eighteen Generals of the North Sea's Eighteen Generals, keeping up with Zhenling.
Han Weiyun did not disappoint them. He performed outstandingly in the following few expeditions to hunt demon beasts. However, not long after, the Fury Ocean Clan of the Overflowing Seas Gang spread the news that Han Weiyun was able to escape from the demon soldiers' encirclement because, in order to escape, he had thrown down the dozens of rogue cultivators who had followed him as bait, attracting the attention of the demon soldiers. On the contrary, Ai Botao of West Hill Island did not abandon the rogue cultivators who had followed him. The title of North Sea's Eighteen Generals was well deserved.
When the news spread, the North Sea's cultivation world was in an uproar. Many cultivators did not believe the Overflowing Seas Gang's words due to its bad reputation. Moreover, Xuan Ling Sect was the leader of the North Sea's cultivation world. Why would they support such a disciple?
However, the Overflowing Seas Gang swore that it was true. Moreover, there was another person involved, Ai Botao of West Hill Island, who was also one of the Eighteen Generals of the North Sea.
Of course, Ai Botao knew the truth. When Xuan Ling Sect promoted Han Weiyun to the Sect Leader position, they had also 'kindly' reminded the Ai Family. In return, when Xuan Ling Sect promoted Han Weiyun, they also praised Ai Botao, causing Ai Botao's reputation to rise to another level in the North Sea. Correspondingly, the Ai Family in West Hill Island also benefited a lot.
After Han Weiyun's plot was exposed, Ai Botao could only choose to remain silent in the face of many cultivators' questions. This was because many of the rogue cultivators who had followed him out of the encirclement had followed him. Firstly, they were grateful to him for saving their lives. Secondly, Xuan Ling Sect had already started to promote Han Weiyun. Because the rogue cultivators knew the truth, they were afraid that they would be killed by Xuan Ling Sect, so they could only seek protection from the Ai Family.
If Ai Botao denied the news about the Overflowing Seas Gang, the cultivators who followed him would definitely be bitterly disappointed. They might even choose to leave because they were afraid that the Ai Family would compromise with Xuan Ling Sect.
More importantly, the Overflowing Seas Gang chose to reveal the truth a year after the incident. In this year, as Ai Botao's reputation rose, more and more cultivators followed him. As one of the achievements that made him famous, almost all of the cultivators who followed him knew the truth. Ai Botao wanted to win people's hearts, so this matter could not be denied.
Ai Botao's silence was equivalent to tacitly agreeing that Han Weiyun abandoned the North Sea rogue cultivators to escape. Naturally, Han Weiyun faced the criticism of the North Sea cultivators. Of course, there was also the possibility that Zhenling and the other sects were adding fuel to the fire. Xuan Ling Sect's reputation in the North Sea suffered another blow.
The West Tomb Island's Ai Family's relationship with Xuan Ling Sect plummeted. Xuan Ling Sect kept making things difficult for Ai Botao. Ai Botao's days were not good, but he won the sincere support of the cultivators who followed him.
After that, there was news that after Han Weiyun became one of the North Sea's Eighteen Generals, he went out to sea several times to hunt demonic beasts. Among the cultivators who accompanied him, there were a few Xuan Ling Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm experts. More than half of Han Weiyun's battle achievements were thanks to these experts.
The Overflowing Seas Gang stirred up the North Sea into an uproar, but they themselves disappeared without a trace.
Fang Ziyan brought up Han Weiyun's matter because ever since the demon soldiers set up an ambush for human cultivators in the monster territory outside Autumn Cloud Island, the demonic beasts in that area became rampant. They killed human cultivators in a frenzy and collected their blood as food. No cultivators near Autumn Cloud Island dared to go out to sea from there.
Recently, the demonic cultivators in that area began to spread to the various powers' territories in the North Sea. They formed a large group of demonic beasts and planned a large-scale attack on the cultivators who ventured deep into the monster territory. Many half-transformed demonic cultivators kept clamoring to collect human blood as food.
Zhenling had his own sources of information and discovered that there was a mastermind behind the demonic beasts' rampage. These demonic beasts hunted cultivators on a large scale in the North Sea and collected blood as food. At the same time, they also made contact with many Enlightened Demonic Cultivators. This time, the group of shark demons that Zhenling ambushed was a group that had received orders to contact the Enlightened Demonic Cultivators.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lu Ping and the rest began to focus on recovering their arcane energy. Hu Lili's injuries were not serious. Moreover, she had the Essence Augmenting Pill that Lu Ping gave her. Moreover, she was only assisting Lu Ping during the ambush, so she did not expend much arcane energy. Hence, Hu Lili was in charge of keeping watch.
Half a day later, not only did Lu Ping recover his arcane energy, he also cultivated for a while. Satisfied, he stopped the circulation of the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique". Recently, in the process of hunting demonic beasts, Lu Ping discovered that every battle stimulated his potential, and his arcane energy would improve.
After opening his eyes, Lu Ping was instantly startled. In front of him, a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him with intense envy, jealousy, and hatred. Even the usually steady Elder Immortal Liu Ziyuan was no exception.
Lu Ping turned to look at Hu Lili, only to see her playfully sticking out her tongue and making a funny face. Hu Lili had always displayed her mature and graceful side in front of Lu Ping. This time, Lu Ping was mesmerized by her rare girlish demeanor.
Zhong Jian pretended to cough twice and waved his hand in front of Lu Ping's eyes. "Ahem, Junior Martial Brother Lu? Come back to your senses, come back to your senses! "
Lu Ping calmly turned his head and looked at Zhong Jian. Surprisingly, there wasn't the slightest trace of embarrassment on his face. Instead, it scared Zhong Jian. He quickly said, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, Senior Martial Sister Hu Lili is right there. You don't have to look at me like that!"
Lu Ping helplessly looked at Ma Yu who was beside him. Ma Yu smiled and said, "Alright, don't make fun of Junior Martial Brother Lu." Then, he turned to Lu Ping and asked, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, your cultivation is too extravagant. I know that Junior Martial Brother Lu is rich, but can you bear to cultivate like this?"
It turned out that after everyone began their recovery cultivation, Lu Ping first placed a white praying mat under his body. The praying mat was engraved with complicated Spirit Arrays. Obviously, it was a high-grade Spirit Gathering Praying Mat. Then, Lu Ping put a water-attributed Blood Spirit Pill in his mouth. Then, he held a mid-grade spirit stone in each hand and began to cultivate.
After Lu Ping started to circulate his spiritual power, an ancient jade pendant hanging on Lu Ping's waist suddenly emitted a purple light. A purple cloud spread out and surrounded Lu Ping. While absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi, there was also a calming aura surging around, allowing cultivators to enter the state of cultivation faster and increase the effect of cultivation.
Compared to Lu Ping's extravagant cultivation method, the members of the first patrol team only swallowed a pill, some used a mid-grade spirit stone, and some only used a handful of low-grade spirit stones. Even Liu Ziyuan, Du Zisheng, and the others only swallowed a pill and used two mid-grade spirit stones.
At the same time, everyone also discovered that Lu Ping's extravagant cultivation method took longer than everyone else's. This meant that Lu Ping's spiritual power was more profound than everyone else's. This was the only reason why Lu Ping needed so much time to recover.
After coming to this conclusion, everyone was once again speechless at Lu Ping's strength. No wonder he was able to stay in the Monster Sea Region for five years. No wonder he was respected by Master Jiang and Master Liu, and was even accepted as a personal disciple by Master Liu Xuanling when he was still in the Mid Blood Condensation Realm. No wonder he was able to fight against an Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm demonic beast.
Lu Ping felt awkward being stared at by everyone. At the same time, he was secretly wary of being too ostentatious. Fortunately, the first patrol team was on their own now. Everyone, including Master Immortal Liu, was on good terms with him. Yao Yong, Zhong Jian, and the others were his good friends. If he cultivated like this in front of others, he might attract unwanted attention.
Seeing Lu Ping's uneasiness, Liu Ziyuan took out a jade slip and said, "This is the reward we obtained from the Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm shark demon. Demonic beasts rarely use jade slips to transmit information. Most of them use jade slips after they transform into Enlightened Beings. It seems like we have gained a lot from this operation."
Everyone hurried Liu Ziyuan to check the contents of the jade slip. Liu Ziyuan released his divine sense and tore the seal on the jade slip. Suddenly, he shouted, "Not good!"
A ball of light suddenly shot out from the jade slip and flew towards the east. Liu Ziyuan, Du Ziyuan, and Fang Qiu couldn't stop it in time.
Liu Ziyuan looked at the jade slip in his hand and said hurriedly, "This is a jade slip that was engraved with divine sense. On the outside, it was engraved with a sealing array formation to disguise it. Once the array formation is broken with divine sense, the warning array formation will be activated. The ball of light just now is a warning array formation to the nearby Enlightened Beings. We need to leave quickly. If we are too late, the Enlightened Beings will catch up to us!"
