Lu Ping was infuriated by Dabao's instigation of the Blue Phoenix Lu Qin. After a long time, he finally remembered what Lu Qin wanted to report to him.
Lu Qin's small mouth spoke quickly, "It's about Daoist Master Jin Li. Little Qin 'er grew up in this part of the sea and has many friends! Today, Little Qin 'er went to play with them. They told me that Golden Scale Mansion's Great King Jin Li is going to celebrate the birthday of an even greater Great King. That greater Great King is Great King Jin Li's adoptive father! "
Lu Ping was helpless against Lu Qin's series of 'Great King's'. Fortunately, he still understood her words. Counting the days, today was already the end of the sixth month. Golden Flood Dragon Island's Master's birthday was on the 27th day of the seventh month. If Daoist Master Jin Li really was Golden Flood Dragon Island's Master's adoptive son, then it was reasonable for him to leave early.
After Lu Ping left with the Zhenling group of cultivators in the Seven Stars Palace, he kept thinking about Daoist Master Jin Li's cave mansion.
When the Seven Stars Palace opened, Lu Ping had seen with his own eyes that Young Master Jin Li had a close relationship with Golden Flood Dragon Island's crocodile. Therefore, Lu Ping had predicted that Daoist Master Jin Li would also attend Golden Flood Dragon Island's Master's birthday banquet. However, Lu Ping hadn't expected that Daoist Master Jin Li and Golden Flood Dragon Island's Master would have such a relationship. Instead, he gave Lu Ping a few more days to plot.
Lu Ping's goal was naturally the remaining six Spiritual Beads in Daoist Master Jin Li's hands. However, Lu Ping couldn't guarantee that Daoist Master Jin Li wouldn't leave the Spiritual Beads in his cave mansion. After all, Lu Ping had investigated and found out that Daoist Master Jin Li's Golden Scale Mansion only had one Core Forging Daoist. The other Daemon Generals were all at the late Blood Condensation Realm.
It was clear that this Enlightened Master Jin Li hadn't been around for a long time and his foundation wasn't deep enough. If his subordinates ran into other Enlightened Masters and provoked them while Enlightened Master Jin Li wasn't around, they certainly wouldn't be able to stop them. Thus, Enlightened Master Jin Li was likely the same as Lu Ping, carrying his most important items with him. If that was the case, then Lu Ping's chances of obtaining the six Spiritual Pearls would be even lower.
However, if Perfected Master Jin Li's Immortal's Cave was well-managed, and his subordinates were capable of blocking the attacks of other Perfected Masters when he wasn't around, then Lu Ping wouldn't have been so afraid to plot against Golden Scale Manor.
No matter what, he had to take a gamble!
Lu Ping made up his mind. When he turned his head to look over his shoulder, he saw that Lu Qin was carefully combing her feathers on his shoulder. It was rare that she wasn't talking to Lu Ping.
Although Lu Qin was talkative, she had good judgment. She knew that she couldn't disturb Lu Ping when he was deep in thought.
Lu Ping saw that she was diligently combing her feathers and felt like teasing her. He asked, "Little Qin 'er, I heard that you were over ten years old last time. How come you're talking like an eight or nine year old child now?"
Lu Qin said in a childish voice, "Our Blue Luan has a lifespan of five hundred years. Little Qin 'er is only sixty years old this year. According to human calculations, isn't that only eight or nine years old?"
As Lu Qin spoke, she stretched out her wings and counted her feathers back and forth, just like a person counting their fingers to calculate the zodiac.
Lu Ping pretended to be surprised. "Hehe, so our Little Qin 'er is a genius!"
Lu Qin tilted her head, her pointy little mouth almost sticking up to the sky. She proudly said, "Little Qin 'er is a genius! I only managed to break through to the late Blood Condensation Realm when I was two hundred years old. That's how I managed to occupy the nest with the spirit vein. Little Qin 'er managed to do it at the age of sixty. Of course, it's all thanks to the delicious pills that Old Master refined. "
While this little fellow was showing off, she didn't forget to flatter Lu Ping. Lu Ping asked, "Little Qin 'er, didn't you just say that the Blue Phoenix has a lifespan of 500 years? Why did your mother pass away so early? "
Lu Qin said in a daze, "Yeah, Little Qin 'er doesn't know either. Anyway, Mama's health got worse and worse. Later, she couldn't go out to hunt. Little Qin' er had to go out to hunt by herself and come back to feed Mama. But Mama still died in the end. She wasn't even 300 years old."
The Golden Scale Residence was built on top of a cliff in a mountain range at the bottom of the sea. The twelve Daemon Generals under Daoist Jin Li were all at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Four of the Daemon Generals that Lu Ping's group had killed were at the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. It was obvious that their rankings weren't very high.
According to the information Lu Ping's spirit pets had gathered from the Yao cultivators, Lu Ping learned that the disappearance of the four Daemon Generals didn't attract much attention from Daoist Jin Li. Most likely, Daoist Jin Li was busy attending his adoptive father's birthday celebration. At the same time, Daoist Jin Li probably didn't care too much about his Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm subordinates. The cruelty of the Yao world was obvious, but the cruelty of the human world was hidden.
Lu Ping wasn't stupid enough to barge into the Golden Scale Residence. According to the information Lu Qin and the others had gathered, Daoist Jin Li had brought three, four, five, and six Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm Daoist Jin Li to Golden Flood Dragon Island. The other Daemon Generals were led by the first and second Daoist Jin Li to guard the Golden Scale Residence.
Of the twelve Daemon Generals in the Golden Scale Residence, six were at the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. The remaining six were at the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Four Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm Daoist Jin Li had died, and four Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm Daoist Jin Li had left. After the First and Second Daoist Jin Li returned from the Seven Star Skies, they had entered seclusion at Daoist Jin Li's request to break through to the Core Forging realm. The remaining two Daemon Generals weren't a threat to Lu Ping.
This was one of the main reasons why Lu Ping dared to plot against the Golden Scale Residence. Another reason was that after Daoist Jin Li had returned to the Immortal Cave, he had instructed his Daemon Generals to lower the recruitment standards and increase the number of demon soldiers.
The Daemon Generals didn't know why their Manor Head, who had always strived for perfection, had suddenly changed his mind. However, Daemon cultivators valued strength more directly than humans. Increasing the number of demon soldiers meant that the Golden Scale Residence's strength would increase, and the number of subordinates under them would increase. Naturally, the four Daemon Generals who had stayed behind to guard the Golden Scale Residence were more than happy to do so.
Therefore, Lu Dagui was assigned the duty of managing the weapons. Samling, who had restrained his bloodline aura, had disguised himself as an ordinary sea snake demon. His talent was still quite good, and he became the Tenth Daoist General's personal attendant. As for the late Blood Condensation Realm Lu Qin, she was called over by the Seventh Daoist General to be his assistant.
After Daoist Jin Li left with the four Daemon Generals, Lu Ping brought Dabao directly to the Golden Scale Residence. The demon soldiers responsible for patrolling the sea had already been transferred elsewhere by Lu Qin. Lu Ping casually tossed Dabao into the Immortal Cave, then executed the 'Art of Sea Deception' and headed towards the Tenth Daoist General's encampment.
After Lu Ping's swordsmanship had reached the 'intent realm', he began to ponder over the gift that his Sixth Senior Apprentice-Sister, Dong Ziyu, had given him for their first meeting. It was a set of water attribute sword technique from the fallen Fei Ling Sect — the 'Formless Sword Technique'.
This sword technique wasn't some kind of invisible sword technique. Instead, it was based on the concept of 'water has no form'. The sword technique was strange and agile, combining the real and the fake, changing constantly, making it difficult for the opponent to grasp it.
If Lu Ping's [North Sea's Twelve Righteous Techniques] focused on frontal combat, then this [Formless Sword Skill] would be more like a "strange" technique. Lu Ping's [North Sea's Twelve Righteous Techniques] was more like a "righteous" technique.
Although the 'Formless Sword Technique' wasn't a sword technique specifically used to conceal one's tracks, it could still be used as a reference for Lu Ping to improve his own invisibility techniques.
Just as Lu Ping arrived in front of the Tenth Daemon General's encampment, the Tenth Daemon General had already sensed that something was amiss. He came out with his new personal attendant, only to see a human cultivator swaggering towards him.
Just as the Tenth Daemon General was about to signal his subordinates to capture this reckless human cultivator, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, seven inches above his head, and his back. The three sea serpent demon attendants behind him had actually attacked him.
The Tenth Daemon General was also a serpent demon, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically chosen Samling to be his personal attendant, so he was very confident in his own cultivation and ability to resist poison. He sneered, "You three pieces of trash think you can plot against me?"
As soon as the Tenth Daemon General finished speaking, his mocking smile froze on his face. Three types of poison that shouldn't have appeared on three normal serpent demons had already seeped into his mana and body.
The Tenth Daemon General opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't make a sound. Opposite him, Lu Ping had beheaded him with a single sword strike. Samling had already found the snake gallbladder in the corpse and devoured it.
Lu Ping kept the Tenth Daemon General's corpse for Samling to snack on in the future. At the same time, he could use the blood to concoct pills.
When Lu Ping arrived at the Seventh Daemon General's encampment following Lu Qin's trail, he found Lu Qin and the Seventh Daemon General having a drinking contest. The two demons took out two slender long bottles filled with wine. Their long beaks reached into the bottles and sucked, and the wine in the bottles disappeared. The small demons standing at the side hurriedly filled the slender long bottles with wine again.
Lu Qin, who had received Lu Ping's signal, took advantage of the time when the Seventh Daemon General's beak reached into the bottles to sneak attack and blind one of the Seventh Daemon General's eyes.
The Seventh Daemon General was naturally shocked and angry. He immediately prepared to counterattack Lu Qin, but unexpectedly, a sword light sneaked behind him and stabbed into the Seventh Daemon General's heart.
Lu Ping glared at Lu Qin. Lu Qin shrunk her neck and said weakly, "Big Brother Dabao said that drinking can lower his guard."
Lu Ping was in enemy territory and didn't have the time to worry about such trifling matters. Following Da Gui's directions, he headed towards the Golden Scale Residence's treasury. Along the way, there were patrolling demon soldiers. Because Lu Qin, the Deputy General, was present, Lu Ping only needed to conceal his tracks.
With Da Gui's help, Lu Ping easily obtained the key to the treasury. After entering the treasury, although Lu Ping had some understanding from Da Gui's previous report, he was still somewhat disappointed when he saw the items inside the treasury.
Most of the items inside were mid to low-grade spiritual materials and ores. There were also a few crudely refined magic tools. Moreover, because the Golden Scale Residence had recently expanded its recruitment of demon soldiers, there weren't many of these magic tools left. There were also a few crudely gathered spiritual herbs. High-grade spiritual materials only made up a very small portion. There were also a few top-grade spiritual materials. With one glance, one could tell that these were the lowest-grade top-grade spiritual materials. It seemed that Immortal Jin Li had indeed kept the good stuff on him.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Although the quality of these items wasn't good, the quantity was definitely not a small amount for a single cultivator. Lu Ping took out a few storage pouches and stored all the items in the treasury, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
At this moment, Dabao appeared out of nowhere and began to boast about his achievements again.
