However, Lu Ping was pleasantly surprised to find that there were actually five high-grade spirit stones among Daoist Jin Li's remaining few hundred thousand spirit stones. This more or less made up for Lu Ping's regret.
Originally, the carp spirit had a body of bright red scales, but in the end, it was smashed to pieces by the pestle. Lu Ping extracted all the blood from its body in preparation for the Samling's advancement to the late Blood Condensation Realm.
Lu Ping stored the jade slip in his storage ring. He would definitely return to the Central Plains in the future. At that time, he would follow the directions of the map and explore the secret territory.
Qianyuan Island was a good place to go. Naturally, there would be no shortage of top-grade magic tools there. However, there was still more than a year before the Northern Alliance's Pill Gathering. In any case, he planned to go and experience it, so there was no hurry.
Lu Ping looked at the remaining two spirit peaches, then at the fifteen on the tree. These were treasures that were no less valuable than thousand-year-old spirit herbs. They could be used to refine Core Forging pills, but now, Lu Ping had casually eaten one of them. Lu Ping couldn't help but rub his stomach. Then, he solemnly placed the two remaining spirit peaches into a large jade box.
Lu Ping picked and chose among the spirit peaches and managed to scrape together enough spirit herbs for a batch of Heart Dissolving Pills. The Blue Phoenix, Lu Qin, had already advanced to the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm for some time. Lu Ping was waiting for her to completely stabilize her cultivation and build a solid foundation before refining the Heart Dissolving Pills for her.
There were more than a dozen jade boxes in front of Lu Ping. Lu Ping opened them one by one. Inside were the thousand-year-old spirit herbs that Daoist Jin Li had collected. In total, there were more than a hundred of them. This clearly surprised Lu Ping. It seemed that this was the embodiment of a Core Forging cultivator's wealth.
Samling was the spirit pet that Lu Ping could cultivate the most. They all walked the same path as Lu Ping, with a solid foundation and strong mana.
Lu Ping tossed the carp demon's corpse to Samling, who was already drooling over it. A Core Forging Realm beast cultivator's flesh and blood essence was so abundant that even without a Golden Core, Samling's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. All he needed was a Condensed Blood Pearl or a Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Late Blood Condensation Realm.
This was a profound sword technique that could only be practiced after reaching the realm of 'Unity of Sword and Practice'. Right now, Lu Ping could barely use it to figure out and practice, but he was still far from being able to fully unleash the power of this sword technique.
The Psychic Wood was indeed heaven-defying. Even with the nourishment of the Kui Water's essence, the Ninth Grade White Jade Lotus still hadn't awakened its Divine Light after nine thousand years. In the end, Lu Ping took advantage of it. The little peach tree demon only needed a thousand years to cultivate into a spirit because of the Psychic Wood within its body.
Lu Ping rubbed his chin. Right now, he should be able to try refining Daoist Jin Li's Golden Scale Sword. One-third of his abilities lay in his sword techniques, but after the Qinghan Sword was destroyed, he didn't even have a top-grade flying sword to use.
However, he had to first form his Golden Core. After all, the Golden Core represented the highest level of human cultivators. There were even several powers like the number one superpower, the Crystal Palace, in the Central Plains. From this, one could see how deep the foundations of the Central Plains' cultivators were.
However, Lu Ping also knew that the Heavenly Gates Sword Array was Daoist Jin Li's own inherited Divine Ability, and unless the cultivator was willing, it could not be forcibly taken away.
Daoist Jin Li's storage magic tool had almost no medicinal pills left, and he only had a few hundred thousand spirit stones left. Presumably, he had used them all up during his two years of seclusion and escape. For a Core Forging Enlightened Master to only have this little bit of wealth left, it could be considered miserable.
Unfortunately, there was no jade slip with the Heavenly Gates Sword Array. This was a true Divine Ability of the sword, a tyrannical battle technique that could only be fully grasped after breaking through to the realm of Sword Intent.
One of the jade slips recorded a sword technique called the "Sword Technique of Unity of True Essence". It was the same sword technique that Daoist Jin Li had used to mount a sneak attack on Lu Ping on that nameless island.
According to Lu Ping's knowledge, Daoist Jin Li had only broken through to the Core Forging stage about twenty to thirty years ago. Moreover, he had spent most of his time in the North Sea. How could he have had the time to visit the Central Plains? Legend had it that the Central Plains was the world of human cultivators. Yao cultivators who had yet to take human form would definitely not dare to roam the Central Plains.
There were also two purple jade slips in the storage magic tool. Fortunately, these two jade slips had not been sealed with divine sense, so Lu Ping could take a look at them.
However, the Golden Scale Sword was a magic tool after all. Activating it consumed a lot of his transcendence energy, and it could not be used in front of others, lest they covet it. Lu Ping was naturally unafraid of a Blood Condensation cultivator, but if he encountered a Core Forging Enlightened Master, Lu Ping could only flee.
This carp spirit's golden core was naturally the most valuable item that Lu Ping had obtained. Not to mention, this carp spirit clearly had the bloodline of a flood dragon, and it was of the pure water attribute.
The other jade slip was a map. Lu Ping carefully examined it for a long time before he understood that it was a map of a secret realm. Moreover, it had been personally drawn by Daoist Jin Li. However, the area marked on the map was the Central Plains, which surprised Lu Ping. Could it be that Daoist Jin Li had been to the Central Plains before?
With a flip of his hand, three large spirit peaches appeared in Lu Ping's palm. These were the fruits that the little Peach Tree Demon had given to Lu Ping in the Land of Hundred Flowers. After Lu Ping tricked the little Peach Tree Demon into joining the Thousand Bell Millet, Lu Ping learned that the little Peach Tree Demon was around two thousand years old, and it had awakened its Divine Light only three to five hundred years ago. The eighteen spirit peaches on the tree were the fruits of the little Peach Tree Demon's three hundred years of cultivation.
When Samling advanced from early Blood Condensation to mid Blood Condensation, Lu Ping used the blood of a late Blood Condensation Primordial Giant Crocodile to concoct a Barrier Breaking Pill. Now that he had advanced to late Blood Condensation, Lu Ping could use the blood of a Core Forging Realm carp spirit to refine a Barrier Breaking Pill. Its effects were no less than the Condensed Blood Bead refined from the flood dragon bloodline of a late Blood Condensation Realm cultivator.
Could it be that he had to find another top-grade flying sword?
But before that, Lu Ping had to first dispose of Adept Jin Li's true body, that gigantic carp carp corpse.
Lu Ping's body had a tremendous amount of transcendence energy, but a single spirit peach was able to restore a third of his transcendence energy. In addition, some of the transcendence energy had penetrated deep into Lu Ping's internal organs, nourishing his body and healing his wounds. This caused Lu Ping to feel even more astonished!
"The Yulan River, huh? I've heard that this is the second largest river in the Central Plains. It makes sense that there would be demonic beasts roaming the river."
The process of refining the Goldscale Sword was definitely a long-term task. After all, this was Adept Jin Li's lifebound magic treasure. Adept Jin Li's divine sense imprint and true essence imprint were deeply ingrained in the sword. Lu Ping would need to spend a large amount of time to dispel these imprints.
Lu Ping didn't hesitate to eat a spirit peach. As expected, it was delicious, juicy, and as soon as the fruit entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into an enormous amount of transcendence energy, rapidly replenishing Lu Ping's depleted transcendence energy from his battle with Adept Jin Li.
