After leaving the quiet room, Lu Ping chatted happily with Qiao Zhengyan before he left. Lu Ping knew that Qiao Zhengyan was doing this on purpose for people with ulterior motives.
Lu Ping's words to the two Dark Mountain Gang disciples on the street forced the gang leader to personally apologize and explain the misunderstanding. Now that Lu Ping owed Qiao Zhengyan a lot, he naturally had to help the Dark Mountain Gang clear the crime of looking down on alchemists.
Back in the quiet room, Hong Ying and Wuyan were already full of admiration for Lu Ping. Chi Lianying stretched lazily and cursed, "An old fox and a little fox!"
Lu Ping pretended not to hear it. Chi Lianying might look like a carefree person, but he was a boss who had managed to gather nearly a hundred Blood Condensation cultivators for several years. Naturally, he had seen and used many tricks.
Hong Ying asked, "Young Master, what are our plans for the next period of time?"
Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to stay first. We will need to stay for a long time. At the same time, I still have a few secret techniques to cultivate. After that, I will represent the Li Family to participate in the Northern Alliance's Elixir Gathering."
Hong Ying and Wuyan could not understand how this Young Master could be so omnipotent. Not only did he chat casually with the leader of the Dark Mountain Gang, Enlightened Master, he could even represent the Lee Family in the Northern Alliance's Elixir Gathering. To the two of them, whether it was the Lee Family or the Overturned Seas Gang, they were both giants that surpassed their imaginations.
The Northern Alliance was established to unite the East Sea's rogue cultivators and use them as a tool to express their benefits. Therefore, Qianyuan City had a special cultivation cave for rent. This was also a method used by the Northern Alliance to attract cultivators.
"The caves here are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. The concentration of spiritual energy in the Heaven Grade cave is equivalent to a large spiritual vein. The Earth Grade cave is equivalent to a medium spiritual vein. The Black Grade cave is equivalent to a small spiritual vein. The Yellow Grade cave is equivalent to a small spiritual vein."
The Red Eagle reported the information he had inquired about to Lu Ping, then said after some deliberation, "If the four of us rent a cave, we just need to choose a yellow-ranked cave with relatively abundant spiritual energy. After all, we won't be staying here for long, so we won't need to spend too many spirit stones."
"How much is it?" Lu Ping asked directly.
"The yellow-ranked cave only costs three hundred spirit stones a month!" Lu Ping of the Red Eagle was only asking about the yellow-ranked cave and quickly replied.
"Anything else?"
"As for the others, oh, a Profound Rank Immortal's cave is two thousand spirit stones a month." Hong Ying knew that his young master was actually a very wealthy person. He was indeed extravagant. The density of spiritual energy in a small spirit vein was enough for a Core Forging Enlightened Master's family to pass down their inheritance.
"What about higher up?" Lu Ping asked casually as he walked.
"Earth-ranked cave? One moonlight spirit stone is thirty thousand, tsk tsk, it really is expensive. It is said that there are a total of twenty-four Earth-ranked cave dwellings in Qianyuan City. The density of the spiritual energy there is second only to the eight Heaven-ranked cave dwellings at the main peak of Qianyuan Mountain. It is said that the eight main peaks are prepared for the Transcendence Laozu when they come to Qianyuan City as guests. "Hong Ying's face was full of yearning. It seemed that the young master was also very envious of these cave dwellings.
"Oh, then how much are the eight Heaven-ranked cave dwellings worth?"
"They are usually not rented out, but used as a place for the Northern Alliance to receive guests. It is specifically used to receive the Transcendence Laozu who comes to the Northern Alliance as a guest. Not only do they not charge spirit stones, but they also do their best to rope them in." Hong Ying was obviously proud of himself for being able to obtain such detailed information in such a short period of time.
"What a pity, then let's rent an Earth-ranked cave dwelling." Lu Ping was not lacking in spirit stones at the moment.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Hong Ying turned around and was about to walk away, but halfway through his steps, he abruptly stopped.
"The young master wants to rent an Earth-ranked cave dwelling?" Hong Ying turned around in disbelief and said, "Th-that's thirty thousand spirit stones, that's three hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones a year!"
"Oh, that's right. You don't have that many spirit stones on you. Here are 400,000 spirit stones. Use them to book the cave-dwelling's lease for a year." Lu Ping's face was still indifferent as he casually took out an interspatial pouch and handed it to Hong Ying.
Hong Ying looked at the storage bag in his hand in a daze. There were indeed four hundred thousand spirit stones neatly stacked inside. Only when Wuyan reminded him did he react and hurriedly took the storage bag and walked towards the cave dwellings in Qianyuan City.
With the Dark Mountain Gang's recommendation, Lu Ping bought a few thousand year spirit herbs from a few shops. There was indeed an abundance of thousand year spirit herbs here. After the Dark Mountain Gang's cultivators hinted that Lu Ping was an alchemist, any random shop could take out ten or even dozens of thousand year spirit herbs.
Outside of Qianyuan Island, in the market squares of other small and medium-sized islands, if there were a few thousand-year-old spirit grasses in the shops, they would be used as the treasures of the shops. The shopkeepers wished that they could use these spirit grasses to eat for three years if they didn't open for business for three years.
When Lu Ping saw the shopkeepers easily take out the thousand year spirit herbs for him to choose from, he naturally knew that the shopkeepers still had some in stock. However, in order to maintain a steady flow of spirit herbs, especially since the Pill Gathering was imminent and there would be a large number of alchemists coming to Qianyuan City, they would definitely not give away all of their spirit herbs.
Lu Ping had just made a fortune and did not lack spirit stones. He even took the time to refine a lot of Blood Condensation Realm pills. With these two items and Lu Ping's extravagance, the shopkeepers were happy to trade with Lu Ping. Lu Ping did not hold back. As long as it was a thousand year spirit herb, he would take it all, regardless of whether it was useful to him or not.
After visiting a few shops, Lu Ping had collected nearly three hundred thousand year spirit herbs, among which there were quite a few rare treasures. Lu Ping calculated in his heart. The spirit herbs he had were barely enough for him to refine a few batches of pills. For the time being, he planned to take advantage of the time before the Pill Gathering to practice the "Spirit Sense Transformation" technique that Chu Ting had given him.
When Lu Ping's divine sense reached the peak state of the 【Splitting Mystic Art】, his divine sense was once too large. When Lu Ping shrunk his divine sense to the limit, his divine sense showed signs of turning into thoughts. However, this was only a phenomenon. Lu Ping hadn't reached the Core Forging Realm yet, so he couldn't use this method. He could only sigh helplessly.
Now that he had the "Spirit Sense Transformation" secret technique, things were different. Not only could Lu Ping completely turn his spirit sense into spirit sense before he advanced to the Core Forging Realm, he could also use it skillfully.
Under the stimulation of the four hundred thousand spirit stones in his hands, Hong Ying's efficiency increased by several times. After Lu Ping visited a few shops that sold spirit herbs in the jurisdiction of the Black Mountain Gang, Hong Ying had already settled the matter of the cave abode.
First of all, the Earth cave abode was spacious enough. It had all the necessary facilities for cultivation. The cave abode had its own spirit garden, and the spirit herbs and spirit trees inside were also lush.
After Lu Ping arrived at the cave abode, he went straight into the cultivation room, leaving Hong Ying and Wu Yan to admire the layout of the cave abode, which had a medium spirit vein density. Even Chi Lianying, who was next to them, could not help but take a few more glances at the layout of the cave abode.
By the time the three of them had restrained their curiosity about the Earth cave abode and realized that they should take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate, Lu Ping had already started making all the necessary preparations in the cultivation room.
To others, the Spirit Sense Transformation technique might require a lot of time and effort to cultivate, but to Lu Ping, it was quite easy. This was because Lu Ping's spirit sense was already strong enough. After shrinking his spirit sense, he had already reached the threshold of Spirit Sense. If it were other cultivators, they would have to spend a lot of effort to cultivate the "Consciousness Gathering Technique", which required the cultivator to repeatedly compress his spirit until it reached the standard of cultivating the secret technique. This was not only a long and painful process, but to Lu Ping, this process was completely meaningless.
Lu Ping easily transformed his spirit sense into Spirit Sense and spread out his Spirit Sense. Within a radius of nearly two miles, Lu Ping's Spirit Sense could sense everything within it. Hong Ying and Wu Yan, who were looking for a place to cultivate in the cave abode, suddenly stiffened as a Core Forging Sage's aura rushed out from the inside of the cave abode.
Chi Lianying looked in the direction of Lu Ping's cultivation room with curiosity in her eyes. She naturally knew what secret technique Lu Ping was cultivating, but she did not expect Lu Ping to reach the final stage of the secret technique in such a short time. He could directly control the new Spirit Sense and familiarize himself with it.
Chi Lianying thought for a moment, then shifted her attention from Lu Ping to the storage bracelet in her hand. This storage bracelet was a mid-grade storage artifact. Although it was not as good as the high-grade storage ring on Lu Ping's hand, it was commonly used by some Blood Condensation Realm cultivators and Core Forging Sages.
When Lu Ping and Chi Lianying joined forces to kill Hong Shikui, Chi Lianying was seriously injured and could not walk. Naturally, this storage bracelet fell into Lu Ping's hands. Lu Ping's mind was completely focused on the pair of jade bracelets. After taking away more than a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and three high-grade spirit stones from the storage bracelet, he found two jade slips. He was even more excited than when he found the spiritual herbs and spirit stones. As for the rest of the items, Lu Ping was kind enough to give them to Chi Lianying after Chi Lianying's injuries were stabilized. Chi Lianying naturally would not be embarrassed about such a good thing. She reached out to take the storage bracelet and even gave it to Chi Lianying with an expression that said 'at least you know what's good for you.'
As the Northern Alliance's celebration approached, there were more and more cultivators in Qianyuan City. There were all kinds of cultivators mixed together, and there were even demonic cultivators in the city. This caused the situation in Qianyuan City to become more and more tense. There were constantly news of conflicts between cultivators in the city. The Northern Alliance made a prompt decision and sent out 36 patrol teams. Laozu was in charge of the overall coordination, and 72 Core Forging Sages led the teams to maintain order in Qianyuan City. Qianyuan City quickly returned to its previous order, and at the same time, it showed the cultivators who came to Qianyuan City the great power of the Northern Alliance.
At this time, Lu Ping was still calm. In his cultivation room, there were all kinds of thousand-year-old and 500-year-old spiritual herbs. Lu Ping had just mastered the new transformation of his spirit sense, so he naturally wanted to try it out.
