Dabao had been very unhappy recently. He was the pet with intelligence who had followed Lu Ping for the longest time. As early as when Lu Ping's cultivation was still in the Blood Refining Realm and he had not established his own foundation, he had started his journey of following Lu Ping loyally.
Unlike the pets with intelligence who joined later, Samling regarded Lu Ping as his father and obeyed him; Dagui regarded Lu Ping as his master and was loyal to his duty; Lu Qin regarded Lu Ping as her teacher and was in awe; only he, Dabao, had a special relationship with Lu Ping. They had experienced the beginning stage of Lu Ping's business together. Dabao was not only Lu Ping's follower, but there was also a brotherly love between them.
Therefore, Dabao was the oldest among all the pets with intelligence and had a close relationship with Lu Ping. Even if his cultivation was at the bottom of many pets with intelligence, he was still Lu Ping's first pet with intelligence, and other pets with intelligence would not challenge Dabao's position.
But recently, Lu Ping's face would darken whenever he saw Dabao, and he would kick him. There were a few times when Dabao didn't manage to dodge and was kicked away by Lu Ping. Fortunately, Dabao's physique was thick, or else he would have broken his butt. This scared Dabao so much that he had been hiding from Lu Ping for the past few days. He dug a new cave under Lu Ping's temporary cave-dwelling and hid there.
Didn't he just warn the bird that had just learned to speak human language some things to pay attention to? These things were by no means alarmist talk. Why couldn't the master understand? Also, the bird didn't understand anything. It answered whatever the master asked and said all the things that should be said and shouldn't be said, but it put all the responsibility on the big rat.
As soon as Lu Ping entered the Golden Scale Mansion, he grabbed the fat flesh behind Dabao's neck and threw him into the cave residence to look for treasures. When Dabao finally found something and ran to report to Lu Ping, he heard Lu Ping say, "Spirit stone mine, it seems that Dagui got the right information."
Dabao was very helpless. It was obviously his credit for finding the spirit stone mine. Why was the credit taken away by others all of a sudden?
Lu Ping listened to Dabao's simple explanation and combined it with the information that Dagui and Lu Qin had obtained in the Golden Scale Mansion. Lu Ping quietly followed a few Demon Soldiers who were mining and arrived at the back mountain of the Golden Scale Mansion. There was actually a small spirit stone mine here.
After the spirit stones were dug out by the demon soldiers, every three days, the accumulated spirit stones would be divided into two portions and sent to two rooms in the Golden Scale Immortal's Cave that had been set up as cultivation rooms.
When Lu Ping heard about the small spirit stone mine, his heart was filled with excitement. In the past, he was the one who discovered the small spirit stone mine on Xuan Qi Island, which directly led to the escalation of the conflict between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect. A Core Forging Enlightened Master had fought over it.
Lu Ping's heart stirred. Could it be that the reason Enlightened Master Jin Li had left Golden Flood Dragon Island and established his Manor here was all for the sake of this small spirit stone mine?
Lu Ping followed the Demon Soldiers who were delivering the spirit stones and arrived in front of a manor inside the Golden Scale Mansion. This was the center of Enlightened Master Jin Li's Immortal's Cave. Outside the manor, there was a protective array formation. If anyone tried to force their way in, not only would the Yao cultivators inside be alerted, but Enlightened Master Jin Li, who was several tens of thousands of li away, would immediately receive the news.
Dabao, who was at Lu Ping's feet, once again let out a series of shouts. Lu Ping's face lit up with joy and he asked, "There's a spirit vein here?"
Dabao promptly nodded. The two Demon Soldiers escorting the spirit stones spat out a jade talisman from their mouths. The surface of the jade talisman flashed with a misty light, and the great array covering the manor suddenly revealed a passageway for the two Demon Soldiers to enter. After the two Demon Soldiers entered, they separated and placed two storage pouches containing the spirit stones into two stone rooms adjacent to the manor. Presumably, the First and Second Demon Generals were currently in closed-door cultivation.
When the two Demon Soldiers came out, Lu Ping pulled out the two jade talismans from their mouths. Fortunately, there was seawater all around, so the jade talismans were immediately washed clean. Lu Ping didn't care about the corpses of the remaining Demon Soldiers. If his spiritual pets were gluttonous, they could just swallow them whole.
When Lu Ping passed through the manor's protective array, he felt a dense spiritual energy that wasn't in Lu Ping's Immortal's Cave. Lu Ping was delighted. This manor was obviously much larger than Lu Ping's Immortal's Cave, and there were even two Peak Blood Condensation Demonic Beasts in closed-door cultivation. Even so, the spiritual energy here was still so dense. It was obvious that this was because there was a small spirit vein here!
Lu Ping turned around and looked at Dabao, who was lying on the ground. However, Dabao had already plunged into the ground. This fellow was becoming more and more heartless. Lu Ping smiled faintly.
It wasn't easy to scheme against two Peak Blood Condensation Demonic Beasts. These two Demonic Beasts had followed Daoist Jin Li out of the Seven Star Skies. Lu Ping had seen the two Demonic Beasts following behind Daoist Jin Li at all times. One was a giant whale Demonic Beast with a nose on the top of its head, while the other was a white shark Demonic Beast with a human body and a fish tail.
Lu Ping turned around and asked Lu Qin, who was perched on his shoulder, "Are you sure that Daoist Jin Li bestowed those six spiritual pearls to his two subordinates?"
Lu Qin's little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She replied, "That foolish Seventh Yao General said it after Little Qin 'er got him drunk. At that time, Daoist Jin Li gave three of the six spiritual pearls to Daoist General Whale and Daoist General Shark. He wanted them to advance to the Core Forging realm as soon as possible and refine the pearls into transcendent artifacts. The other Daoist Generals were all envious of them."
Lu Ping thought to himself, 'It looks like Daoist Jin Li can't wait to expand the strength of his subordinates. Could it be that the North Sea Demonic Beasts are planning something big, or is his Golden Scale Manor trying to expand its sphere of influence?'
Lu Ping knew that the internal conflict between the Yao race was even more intense than that between humans. In fact, it was much more direct and bloody. The only difference was that it lacked the scheming of human cultivators. Golden Scale Manor was filled with an atmosphere of preparation for war, causing Lu Ping to feel a little suspicious. He didn't know who they were targeting.
Before reaching the Core Forging realm, it was very difficult for a Yao cultivator to refine a high quality transcendent artifact. Most of them would refine a part of their own body into a life transcendent artifact. The six spiritual pearls that Daoist Jin Li bestowed upon them were obviously the best spiritual materials to refine a life transcendent artifact. Furthermore, the two Daoist Generals were only a step away from the Core Forging realm. Thus, once the two Daoist Generals advanced to the Core Forging realm, the six spiritual pearls could be directly upgraded into transcendent artifacts. It was no wonder that the other Daoist Generals were tempted.
After all, they were in someone else's territory. There was no guarantee that Daoist Jin Li wouldn't leave behind some sort of backup plan. Lu Ping decided to end the battle quickly. Before the other Daoist soldiers of Golden Scale Manor could react, he would kill the two Daoist Generals and seize the six spiritual pearls.
With a plan in mind, Lu Ping took out the blue stone jar that contained the Myriad Poison Paste from his storage ring. It was about half the height of a person, and he used his magic power to extract a ball of the Myriad Poison Paste.
As soon as the Myriad Poison Paste left the blue stone jar's suppression of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Water, it immediately evaporated into a golden mist. Lu Ping's Water Manipulation Art was naturally no problem in controlling the mist. The golden mist split into two and floated towards the two stone chambers on either side of the manor.
After a moment, two loud roars could be heard from the two closed stone chambers, "Who dares to plot against me?"
"You must be tired of living!"
With two loud rumbling sounds, the two stone chambers were simultaneously destroyed by the Daoist Generals inside. A giant man with a nostril on the top of his head and a man with a human body and a fish tail walked out from the collapsed stone chambers.
The two had yet to clearly see who was standing in front of the manor from the dust and mud that rose up from the collapsed stone chambers when a half foot long medicinal pestle rose into the air. It suddenly grew to a length of thirty feet and a width of five feet, smashing towards the Whale Daoist General with a nostril on the top of his head.
