As more and more Enlightened Masters arrived, Lu Ping was amazed by the communication skills of the Listening Master. This Enlightened Master Plum was obviously not in the "boudoir" identity, but she still had such rallying power in Qianyuan City. This made Lu Ping look forward to meeting this mysterious Enlightened Master Plum.
There were actually two kinds of ceremonies. One was like Lu Ping, who was invited by the Li Clan to watch the "apprenticeship ceremony". However, most of the Enlightened Masters in the small building were obviously here for the mysterious Enlightened Master Plum. They were here to watch the "apprenticeship ceremony"!
At this moment, three charming women came down from the upper floor of the Listening Master Plum. All the Enlightened Masters in the hall stood up to greet the three women. Only then did Lu Ping know that the three women were Enlightened Master Plum's disciples. Moreover, their cultivations were all above the Core Forging stage. This made Lu Ping speechless.
After the three women had settled the Enlightened Masters in the hall, Li Xiuzhu had already walked in with the help of a middle-aged beauty dressed in black. There were two other Enlightened Masters with them, but they were all acquaintances of Lu Ping. One was Enlightened Master Qin of the Northern Alliance, and the other was Yan Wujiu who had just left a few days ago.
A few days ago, Yan Wujiu said that the reason he had come to Qianyuan City this time, other than to find someone to entrust Luan Yu to, was because he had received an invitation from an old friend. Participating in the Pill Gathering was just a coincidence, and he had come here on a whim.
Now it seemed that the old friend who had invited him was this mysterious middle-aged beauty, Enlightened Master Plum.
Enlightened Master Qin and Yan Wujiu obviously didn't expect to meet Lu Ping here. Enlightened Master Qin was able to think of something because of Hongye Laozu's hint, but Yan Wujiu was a little surprised. However, he was an old fox after all, and this trace of surprise was only a flash in his eyes.
Chu Ting, Li Maolin, and the others also returned to the hall. The ceremony of Li Xiuzhu's apprenticeship ceremony could begin now that all the spectators had arrived.
At this moment, Master Mei, Master Qin, and Yan Wujiu, who were sitting at the head of the hall, suddenly looked towards the outside of the small building. Naturally, their strange behavior could not be hidden from the other Masters in the hall. Even Lu Ping was slightly surprised. Could it be that there were uninvited guests coming to cause trouble?
A gust of wind blew in. Lu Ping didn't notice that there was a skinny middle-aged man in the hall.
What a brilliant Wind Movement Technique!
The sudden appearance of the middle-aged man had clearly shocked all the Spiritual Masters in the hall. Spiritual Master Qin, who was seated at the head of the table, had a serious expression on his face. On the other side, Yan Wujiu was also somewhat surprised. Clearly, they had sensed that the newcomer's strength was very high, and they didn't know whether he was a friend or a foe.
Immortal Plum sat in the middle and looked at the man standing in the middle of the hall with a calm expression, as if he didn't exist.
The first female disciple, who was standing next to Immortal Plum, suddenly became happy when she saw the arrival of the cultivator in the hall. Her lips moved as if she was about to greet him, but then she thought of something and looked at the indifferent Master sitting at the head of the table. She had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her mouth.
All of this naturally couldn't be hidden from the middle-aged man in the hall. He nodded to the female disciple, and then smiled at Immortal Plum. "I haven't seen you for decades, but you're still as elegant as ever!"
Immortal Plum raised his eyelids and said, "Find a place to sit when you're here. Don't interfere with my disciple's apprenticeship ceremony!"
This mysterious man who had suddenly appeared obviously had an extraordinary relationship with Immortal Plum.
The middle-aged man's body was surging with True Yuan. The Wind Movement Technique he had just used made all the Masters in the hall feel ashamed of their inferiority. It was obvious that this middle-aged man was an expert at the late stage of the Core Forging Realm. For a moment, the Spiritual Masters in the hall paid more attention to the small building. The weight of a late stage Core Forging Realm Master was still very important to the forces behind these Spiritual Masters.
Immortal Qin frowned slightly. However, when he thought about Hongye Laozu's words, this Immortal Plum was obviously not as simple as he appeared on the surface. Yan Wujiu, who was at the side, seemed to have thought of something.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Immortal Plum's indifference. He turned around and saw that most of the seats in the hall were already occupied by the Spiritual Masters of the various families. There were only a few tables and chairs in the corner. So, he walked to the corner and sat down. He even smiled at Lu Ping who was beside him.
At this time, although Lu Ping looked calm on the surface, he was quite excited in his heart.
"Following the wind into the night, silently moistening everything!"
The apprenticeship ceremony continued. Li Xiuzhu presented the apprenticeship gifts, which were ten high-grade spirit stones and a hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Obviously, these gifts were much more valuable than the gifts that Lu Ping and the others received when they were still in the Blood Condensation Realm. However, it was also in line with Li Xiuzhu's identity as a Core Forging Realm Master.
Next, Immortal Plum's three female disciples and Chu Ting's group of four each gave a greeting gift to the new Sixth Junior Martial Sister. Among them, the first female disciple to greet the middle-aged cultivator was Immortal Plum's second disciple. She took out two gifts and said that they were gifts for the Eldest Senior Martial Sister whom she had never met before.
Daoist Plum snorted, clearly unhappy. However, he didn't stop his second disciple. Instead, it was the middle-aged cultivator sitting beside Lu Ping who chuckled in a low voice.
In the end, Immortal Plum directly gave Li Xiuzhu a magic treasure flying sword as a greeting gift, which shocked all the Spiritual Masters present.
Lu Ping watched the whole process of the apprenticeship ceremony. It was almost a replica of his own apprenticeship ceremony. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. As far as he knew, this kind of apprenticeship ceremony was still popular in the North Sea. The East Sea didn't have such a custom.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Ping left the Listening Sound Building early.
The middle-aged man, who was the last to arrive, also left with Daoist Plum after the ceremony. After a while, Daoist Plum returned to the hall. After a while, the middle-aged man walked down the stairs as if he was admiring the architectural style of the Listening Sound Building.
Afterward, the middle-aged man bid farewell to Immortal Plum. After leaving the Listening Sound Building, he casually strolled around Qianyuan City until he reached a remote corner. The middle-aged man looked behind him and said, "Kid, there's no one here. Come out!"
Not far behind the middle-aged man, Lu Ping walked out from a corner where junk was piled up.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Ping with interest and said, "A Blood Condensation Minor Repairs cultivator dares to follow a Core Forging Enlightened Master? You're quite courageous! Although Qianyuan City forbids cultivators from fighting, if this Enlightened Master kills you with one palm, the cultivators in Qianyuan City won't be able to do anything to me. "
Lu Ping didn't take the middle-aged man's threat seriously. He smiled and said, "Three Truths and Four Spirits!"
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed. Lu Ping's vision blurred and in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was already in front of him. His divine sense pressed down on Lu Ping, immobilizing him. The middle-aged man stared at Lu Ping and said with killing intent, "Brat, what did you just say?"
Although Lu Ping was imprisoned by the middle-aged man's divine sense and magic power, the middle-aged man's divine sense pressure had no effect on Lu Ping. Lu Ping still smiled and said, "Is Senior surnamed Liang?"
The middle-aged man suddenly released Lu Ping and said with a smile, "Kid, you're from the North Sea?"
Lu Ping didn't think the middle-aged man would lose his hostility just because he let go of the shackles. With his Late Core Forging cultivation base, Lu Ping wouldn't be able to escape. The shackles just now were just a test.
Lu Ping respectfully bowed and said, "Senior, please prove your identity!"
If the two wanted to clarify their relationship, the middle-aged man was in a strong position. Not only could he show his sincerity by taking a step back, but he also wasn't afraid of Lu Ping playing tricks in front of him.
The middle-aged man casually threw a nameplate to Lu Ping. Lu Ping examined the nameplate, then cast a few secret techniques on it. Finally, his face lit up and he returned the nameplate to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man put away the nameplate and said with a smile, "Kid, is it time for you to introduce yourself?"
Lu Ping bowed and said, "Disciple of Chong Hua Sect, Lu Ziping, greets Martial Uncle Liang Xuanfeng!"
Liang Xuanfeng looked at Lu Ping with a dumbfounded expression. He said with some disbelief, "You, you're actually the male disciple of Senior Sister Xuan Ling? You, how can you attend her apprenticeship ceremony? "
Lu Ping was a little confused, so he said, "Martial Nephew was invited by the Li family of Sanjia Island to attend the apprenticeship ceremony of Miss Li."
Then he asked with some uncertainty, "But what's wrong with a disciple attending Daoist Plum's apprenticeship ceremony?"
At this time, Liang Xuanfeng had already regained his previous calm expression. He said, "I see. I heard that Senior Sister Xuan Ling accepted a male disciple, and he's also a genius alchemist. After you disappeared, there was a big storm in the sect. Fortunately, your spiritual sense lamp was always burning, so there was no big trouble."
Lu Ping had been away from the North Sea for a few years. He was eager to know about the situation in the North Sea, especially Zhenling's situation after the beast tide. However, Liang Xuanfeng was not often in the sect, but he had his own sources of information. He told Lu Ping about the situation in the North Sea these years.
Lu Ping also roughly told him about his travel in the East Sea these years. Liang Xuanfeng patted Lu Ping's shoulder and praised, "Good boy, so you're the famous Pill Master Lu Jiu in Qianyuan City Pill Gathering. You're indeed worthy of being the disciple that Senior Sister Xuan Ling values."
Lu Ping smiled embarrassedly. He said, "Martial Uncle, I've been in the East Sea for a long time. How can I return to the North Sea?"
Liang Xuanfeng was stunned. He said, "That's a little difficult. The teleportation array in the East Sea of Zhenling is built in the Fallen Secret Land. Usually, it's easy for me to bring you back to the sect's base in the secret land. However, I have something very important to do now, so I can't return to the secret land for a while. With your current cultivation, you can't pass through the secret land to the inner area of the secret land."
Lu Ping was surprised. He asked, "Our sect has a base in the Fallen Secret Land?"
Liang Xuanfeng thought for a while when he heard Lu Ping's question. He said, "Originally, you shouldn't know about this, but since you're about to advance to the Core Forging Stage, it won't be a secret anymore. The center of the Fallen Secret Land is the only giant Spirit Mine in the Endless Sea. Surrounding this giant Spirit Mine and some other accompanying Spirit Materials, the major sects in the Endless Sea have formed a relatively balanced distribution system. Naturally, I, Zhenling, have a place in the middle of the secret land. Celestial Phenomenon Laozu is guarding the island, and there's a teleportation array on the island that leads to the North Sea. However, this island is in the inner area of the Fallen Secret Land, and it's at the northern end. It's too dangerous to pass through without a cultivation of the middle or late Core Forging Stage."
Lu Ping couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still asked, "Martial Uncle, is there anything I can do for you on this trip to the North Sea?"
Liang Xuanfeng looked at Lu Ping, a little disappointed. He said, "This matter concerns whether I can advance to the Transcendence Stage in the future. You're too weak now. If you can advance to the Golden Core Stage in three years, you can be of help. If you can advance to the Golden Core Stage by then, you can go to the Silver Sword Island under the jurisdiction of Skyrend to look for me.
