At this time, Lu Ping finally had the time to turn around and carefully identify the Spirit Grasses among the flowers and trees. However, there were quite a lot of Spirit Grasses. Lu Ping basically ignored the hundred-year-old Spirit Grasses and only focused on the five-hundred-year-old Spirit Grasses. In a short while, Lu Ping found more than twenty Spirit Grasses, and even found a thousand-year-old Spirit Grass.
Just as Lu Ping carefully collected this thousand-year-old Spirit Grass and placed it in a jade box, the small black cloud above the bluestone jar inside the Thousand Bell Millet finally turned into nearly a hundred drops of black water beads, which fell into the bluestone jar. The golden Myriad Poison Liquid was dyed with a layer of faint black, and the entire Myriad Poison Liquid turned dark gold.
After the Hundred Flowers Miasma turned into Myriad Poison Liquid, the colorless liquid floating above the bluestone jar seemed to lose interest in the Hundred Flowers Miasma outside, and plunged into the Myriad Poison Liquid. At this time, Lu Ping discovered that within a radius of more than a thousand feet around him, the originally thick pink mist had disappeared. In the entire misty sea of flowers, a huge, clear circle had suddenly appeared.
Then, the surrounding mist descended like a curtain of Heavenly River from the sky, and fiercely rushed towards Lu Ping, once again submerging Lu Ping in the mist. However, Lu Ping could clearly feel that the mist of the entire sea of flowers had thinned a lot. The original bright red scene formed by the gathering of the pink mist could no longer be seen. It could be said that most of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Essence in the thick mist of this sea of flowers had been collected by Lu Ping in a jade bottle when he extracted the Hundred Flowers Miasma with the help of the nameless Spirit Water.
Lu Ping shook the jade bottle in his hand. There were about three hundred drops of Hundred Flowers Spirit Essence condensed by the Hundred Flowers Spirit Essence. Although it had condensed into a liquid form, it was still a strange object of the wood attribute, so Lu Ping could only put it away.
Just as Lu Ping was about to continue looking for more Spirit Grasses in the sea of flowers, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and Lu Ping's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
"No, the Peach Blossom Demon is not the King of Flowers in the sea of flowers!"
The place where the Hundred Flower Fiendish Aura gathered was definitely a sea of flowers, and in this sea of flowers, a Hundred Flower King would often be born!
This king of flowers was nurtured by the spiritual essence of the entire sea of flowers. It was the highest quality spirit herb or spirit material in the sea of flowers. It was also the plant that had the highest chance of cultivating into a demon.
After Lu Ping learned the true location of the Land of Hundred Flowers from the leading cultivator, other than the Hundred Flower Fiend, he also came for the Flower King in the Land of Hundred Flowers. Therefore, even though Lu Ping accidentally bumped into Wang Yishan and the others and heard that the Core Forging Enlightened Masters might arrive soon, he still rushed into the sea of flowers without hesitation.
When Lu Ping saw the Peach Tree Demon, Lu Ping naturally thought that the Peach Tree Demon was the flower king of the entire sea of flowers. This was because the Peach Tree Demon not only had the Psychic Wood and the mutated 1,000-year Peach Tree Branch, but most importantly, it had awakened its spirit light and cultivated into a demon.
However, Lu Ping forgot the most important thing: the Bell Spirit Qi!
The Flower King had to gather the power of the entire sea of flowers and add its essence to its body. The essence of the flowers was called the Bell Spirit Qi, but the Peach Tree Demon did not have this.
The Peach Tree Demon was only able to become a demon because it happened to have a piece of Spiritual Wood in its body. However, the entire sea of flowers did not help it at all. In other words, the Peach Tree Demon was not loved by the sea of flowers.
Lu Ping's eyes lit up and he finally understood.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A piercingly cold killing intent rushed towards Lu Ping's back. Lu Ping's expression stiffened, but he couldn't dodge in time. He had no choice but to shield himself with his Yin Tian Protective Aura and take the blow head-on.
"Pu!" A heavy blow came from behind Lu Ping. Lu Ping felt a tightness in his chest. He had no choice but to stagger forward a few steps to free himself from that irritating feeling.
The fog formed by the Hundred Flowers Fiend weakened a cultivator's divine sense. Just now, Lu Ping was so focused on the Flower King that he forgot to be vigilant of his surroundings. He didn't expect to be ambushed by someone else.
At this moment, the ambushers couldn't be anyone else. Lu Ping turned around and saw Wang Yishan's group of five standing in the distance.
The weapon that attacked Lu Ping was a top-grade mystic instrument. It was a full-powered strike from a Peak Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. Even if Lu Ping cast the [Yin Sky] in time, he wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
Lu Ping had been using Qianzhong Millet, a huge spatial magic artifact. Just now, he had used up a lot of his arcane energy to move the thousand-year Tree Demon and the soil under its feet into the Qianzhong Millet. Lu Ping looked at them and coughed. His abdomen was shaking violently. Although it didn't cause any serious internal injuries, it made it hard for Lu Ping to control his arcane energy.
Wang Yishan, who attacked Lu Ping, was even more shocked. He didn't think that a Blood Condensation cultivator would be able to stand in front of him unscathed after taking a full blow from him. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue attacking.
It was Senior Brother Qi from the Crystal Palace who noticed that Lu Ping was trying to stall for time. He quickly said, "He's injured. He's trying to stall for time. Everyone, attack together. Don't give him time to recover."
Everyone snapped out of their daze and took out their magic artifacts. A total of five top-grade magic artifacts flew towards Lu Ping.
Careless. Lu Ping should've known that he was in danger and prepared a way out for himself. However, he forgot to conserve his arcane energy because of the Hundred Flower Fiend and the Peach Tree Demon's harvest.
Lu Ping was indeed trying to stall for time, but he wasn't injured. Seeing that the five of them were attacking together, Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. He had no choice but to dodge.
All five of them were at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm, especially the three disciples from the Crystal Palace in silver robes. None of them were weaker than the North Sea's 18 Generals. This surprised Lu Ping. The three peak Blood Condensation cultivators were as strong as the most elite peak Blood Condensation cultivators of the North Sea's major sects.
If he was at his peak, Lu Ping wouldn't be afraid of the five of them. But now, he couldn't. Not only was Lu Ping's arcane energy depleted, but if he was in a stalemate with the five of them, a Core Forging Enlightened Master could arrive at any time. At that time, only death would await Lu Ping.
Lu Ping split his sword into five sword rays and blocked all the incoming magic artifacts. In a flash, he retreated into the thick fog behind him.
"He's running away. Quick, chase him!"
"Be careful, we're in the depths of the Hundred Flowers Fiend. The Hundred Flowers Fiend's miasma has already corroded our protective arcane energy. This person is not weak. Don't split up."
Lu Ping's divine sense was stronger than the five of them, and there were many obstacles in the sea of flowers. Therefore, Lu Ping easily shook off the five of them.
Lu Ping stood far away from them. He was the only one who could observe them, but they couldn't detect Lu Ping's presence. Senior Martial Brother Qi said, "We just need to guard this place and wait for Enlightened Master Wang Hua to arrive. I'm sure he won't be able to break through our defenses. While he's gone, I can condense the Hundred Flower Fiendish Energy. Although the Hundred Flower Fiendish Energy here isn't strong, it should be enough to condense my astral energy."
Lu Ping saw that Senior Brother Qi began to slowly absorb the Hundred Flowers Fiend that had been plundered by Lu Ping. He smiled coldly and thought for a while. Then, he turned around and walked toward the unexplored area in the sea of flowers.
After a few steps, Lu Ping patted his head and released Dabao from the spirit beast bag again. At this time, Dabao had eaten the Recovery Elixir, and his arcane energy had recovered a lot. Naturally, he knew why Lu Ping released him. He walked around Lu Ping and sniffed in all directions. Then, he went toward the direction where Dabao could feel the strongest spiritual power fluctuation.
After a while, Lu Ping was speechless and picked up a thousand-year-old spirit herb on the ground. Dabao immediately came forward to show his achievement. Lu Ping pulled his beard and scolded, "You fool, I told you to find the King of Flowers, but you found a thousand-year-old spirit herb."
Lu Ping also knew that he couldn't blame Dabao. Dabao was a Spirit-seeking Mouse. He could only respond to the closest and strongest spiritual power fluctuation. The King of Flowers might have a strong spiritual power fluctuation, but it was obviously not close.
Lu Ping had no choice but to throw a newly refined Gourmet Pill into Dabao's mouth. Dabao was a glutton and always remembered to ask for rewards. Since he couldn't eat too many pills, Lu Ping found a pill recipe and refined some Gourmet Pills to satisfy his cravings.
Under Dabao's lead, Lu Ping collected eight spirit herbs in a row. All of them were at least a thousand years old. Two of them were used as the main ingredients. It seemed that after Dabao advanced to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm, his spirit-seeking ability had greatly improved.
At this moment, Dabao suddenly called out to Lu Ping and ran in a certain direction. Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed. However, after walking for about a hundred feet, a strong spiritual power fluctuation was detected even by Lu Ping's divine sense.
Lu Ping quickened his pace, and the scene before him suddenly opened up. This was a place that was not covered by the Hundred Flowers Fog. The pink Hundred Flowers Fog formed a vertical fog wall that surrounded this place. It seemed to be protecting something in the middle.
Lu Ping looked up. In the middle of the clearing, there was a sparkling white lotus blooming brilliantly on a small pool of water. It was as if it was the center of all the flowers in the surroundings. It was the undisputed king of this sea of flowers.
A Ninth Grade White Lotus!
Lu Ping used his divine sense to scan it. It was actually a Ninth Grade White Lotus!
This was the true King of Flowers in the Land of Hundred Flowers!
Lotus was a special existence among spiritual materials. Other than being categorized according to the grade of the spiritual material, they were also categorized into nine grades.
Generally speaking, the lotus was categorized into three grades and nine grades. The first grade was limited to thirty years, from a First Grade White Lotus in thirty years to a Third Grade White Lotus in ninety years. The second grade was limited to three hundred years, all the way to a Sixth Grade White Lotus in nine hundred years. Similarly, the third grade was limited to three thousand years, and the highest Ninth Grade White Lotus required nine thousand years.
How could this be possible?!
Once a lotus reached the second grade, it was already considered a high-grade spiritual material. Once it reached the third grade, its value would no longer be lower than any Third Grade spiritual material, let alone a Ninth Grade White Lotus!
The value of this lotus was no less than the Na Chuan Cauldron. Lu Ping tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.
