"Uncle-Master, who is this person?"
After exchanging greetings with Zhu Xuanmeng, Lu Ping immediately asked Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng secretly.
"Uncle-Master, is this Alchemy Master Lu Jiu with you too?"
Just as Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng was thinking about how to answer Lu Ping's question, Zhu Xuanmeng also secretly transmitted her voice to him. Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng felt a headache coming on. He really wanted to make things clear and end things once and for all, but when he thought of the two terrifying cultivators, a chill ran down his spine and he almost shivered in fear of embarrassing himself in front of the two juniors. So, he said, "Come, come. Since the two of you are here to help me, then let's discuss how to make the situation even more chaotic and take a share of the spoils from Sky Fissure Sword Sect and The Crystal Palace …"
"In that case, the strange cultivator who caused the fight between Skyrend and the Crystal Palace cultivators was you, Uncle-Master? Impressive indeed! "
There was a hint of excitement in the corner of Lu Ping's eyes. Clearly, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's move was very admirable to Lu Ping.
Seeing Lu Ping's expression, Liang Xuanfeng said proudly, "That's right."
Lu Ping asked, "Martial Uncle, what is there? Is it really as the outsiders say? Is it really a treasure trove or an ancient cultivator's ruin?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Have you heard of Laozu Zhongxuan?"
Both Lu Ping and Zhu Xuanmeng were shocked. Zhu Xuanmeng said, "Is it the remnant of Fei Ling Sect who was known as the number one Weapon Refinement Grandmaster in the North Sea, Laozu Zhongxuan?"
Lu Ping looked at Zhu Xuanmeng in surprise. He did not expect her to be so familiar with the matters of the North Sea. That deepened Lu Ping's suspicion towards Perfected Plum. However, Lu Ping could tell that Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had something to hide, so he did not ask further.
Could this Daoist Plum be a Dao companion that Martial Uncle Liang Xuanfeng found in the East Sea? A thought suddenly flashed across Lu Ping's mind, but he immediately rejected it. He had never heard that Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng had a Dao companion in the sect, so there was no need for Uncle-Master Liang to hide it in front of him. Would Uncle-Master Liang be embarrassed to let the sect know that he had a Dao companion outside?
Lu Ping shook his head and tossed that ridiculous thought out of his mind. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng continued, "Back then, when Fei Ling Sect was destroyed, Zhongxuan Laozu escaped and hid in the East Ocean. He appeared in the southern part of the East Ocean and refined Dharma weapons and Dharma treasures for many cultivators in the East Ocean, creating a great reputation for himself."
Lu Ping was puzzled, "Zhongxuan Laozu is so ostentatious, isn't he afraid that the cultivators of the North Sea will come after him?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng answered, "Zhongxuan Laozu originally wanted to gather the old subordinates of Fei Ling Sect, nurture talents, continue Fei Ling Sect's legacy, and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback and restore Fei Ling Sect's former prestige. Unfortunately, Zhongxuan Laozu is a top-notch genius in the cultivation world when it comes to refining Dharma weapons, but he's a complete layman when it comes to reorganizing a scattered sect and restoring morale. For decades, Zhongxuan Laozu accomplished nothing and even attracted the pursuit of various sects in the North Sea."
"Zhongxuan Laozu finally realized that he couldn't restore Fei Ling Sect with his own ability. Not only did the disheartened Zhongxuan Laozu not become depressed, but he became even crazier. He refined high-quality Dharma treasures in the East Ocean on a large scale, attracting a large number of cultivators from the East Ocean. However, he made a condition: Any cultivator or sect that wants him to refine Dharma weapons must send him a certain number of cultivators from various sects in the North Sea depending on the quality of the Dharma weapons and Dharma weapons."
Lu Ping sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "That's a vicious move."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng nodded and said, "For a while, a large number of cultivators from various sects in the North Sea went missing. By the time the sects in the North Sea understood the whole story, more than 30 Core Forging cultivators had been killed by East Ocean cultivators. However, East Ocean's cultivation world is far more powerful than North Sea's. The cultivators who attacked North Sea cultivators all did it secretly in their own names, so the sects in the North Sea had no way to investigate. In the end, the sects could only send a few Laozu to investigate openly and secretly in the East Ocean. Finally, they tracked down Zhongxuan Laozu. After a battle, Zhongxuan Laozu was ambushed and killed, but his hiding place in the East Ocean was not discovered by Laozu, and he has been hiding ever since."
Lu Ping frowned and said, "Then how did the Crystal Palace discover Zhongxuan Laozu's secret abode in the East Ocean?"
"It's the Overflowing Sea Faction!"
"The Overflowing Sea Gang?" Lu Ping's frown deepened. "How did they find clues about Zhongxuan Laozu's cave abode in the East Ocean in the North Sea?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng nodded and said with a serious expression, "The Overflowing Sea Gang has been relying on the Crystal Palace to plunder all kinds of cultivation resources in the North Sea. Because of the Crystal Palace's influence, the higher-ups of the sects in the North Sea did not want to have a direct conflict with the Crystal Palace, so they just let the Overflowing Sea Gang operate in the North Sea. I didn't expect them to find clues about Zhongxuan Laozu's secret abode in the East Ocean."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng saw that Lu Ping was still confused, so he continued, "Speaking of clues, it has something to do with Fei Ling Island that you've been to before."
Lu Ping asked curiously, "Could it be that someone found clues in Fei Ling Island and the Overflowing Sea Gang found out?"
"That's roughly it." Perfected Liang Xuanfeng nodded and said, "The Overflowing Sea Gang found out from the jade scrolls that they obtained from Fei Ling Island that when Zhongxuan Laozu's cultivation base was not complete, he traveled in the East Ocean and built a secret abode in the East Ocean. This secret abode was in the area where Zhongxuan Laozu often appeared after he went into exile in the East Ocean. Therefore, this secret abode is most likely the hiding place that Zhongxuan Laozu built later on."
After understanding the gist of the matter, Lu Ping smiled and flattered, "Martial Uncle, you're so capable. You actually got the information from the Overflowing Sea Gang and ruined the Crystal Palace's plan to monopolize the abode."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng smiled proudly and said, "Although I, the Zhenling Sect, am not as brazen as the Crystal Palace in expanding our forces everywhere, we naturally have our own sources of information."
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "What kind of Spiritual Item did Martial Uncle obtain this time?"
Lu Ping knew that the Sky-Splitting Sect and the Crystal Palace were not the only two sects that had their eyes on Zhongxuan's abode. Now that the situation had become chaotic, the two sects definitely did not dare to take the risk of offending the entire East Ocean cultivators and monopolizing Zhongxuan's abode. However, the two sects would definitely take the majority of the loot. The rest of the loot would depend on their own abilities.
Although Perfected Liang Xuanfeng came prepared and even toyed with the two sects in the palm of his hand, that was only for a moment. With just the three of them here, it was impossible for them to compete with the vast number of East Ocean cultivators. They could only fish in troubled waters.
When Perfected Liang Xuanfeng heard this, his previously proud expression turned serious and he said in a serious tone, "In the past, Zhongxuan Laozu's name for crafting weapons was known throughout the world. He relied on four treasures. One was a crafting furnace, a high-tier treasure called the Chongxuan Furnace. Another was a high-tier Earth-level Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth, the Ziyuan Fire. Another was a low-tier Earth-level Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth used for quenching fire, the Xuanyuan Heavy Water. The last one was a low-tier Earth-level Spiritual Object of Heaven and Earth used to strengthen the power of fire, the Skywind Leaf."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng paused for a moment, then said with a somewhat feverish expression, "What I want this time is this Skywind Leaf. With this Skywind Leaf, I will be able to reach the seventh-grade Forging Core and break through to the Dharma stage. I might even be able to enter the mid Dharma stage or even the late Dharma stage."
Zhu Xuanmeng and Lu Ping looked at each other and waited for Perfected Liang Xuanfeng to calm down before asking, "Uncle-Master, how can we find the Skywind Leaf first when the cave opens?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get involved if I'm not confident. I've learned a small magical power that is very effective in finding wind-elemental spiritual objects. When the time comes, I'll definitely be able to find the Skywind Leaf first. Of course, although Zhongxuan Laozu is only at the mid Dharma stage, he has made countless weapons and collected many rare treasures. He might even have brought out part of the legacy of the Feiling Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have planned to restore the Feiling Sect back then. When the time comes, how much you can get will depend on your luck. "
What Lu Ping was most afraid of was that after the crowd of cultivators rushed into the cave, they would be blindly searching for it. That way, it would all depend on luck. If they found it, they might even be surrounded by other cultivators. Now that he heard that Perfected Liang Xuanfeng already had a plan, he heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard Perfected Liang Xuanfeng mention that Zhongxuan Laozu might have the legacy of the Feiling Sect, he was tempted, but then he asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, since Zhongxuan Laozu's four treasures are all used to make weapons, then aren't they all together? If we find the Skywind Leaf, then the other three treasures …"
Zhu Xuanmeng's eyes lit up. Liang Xuanfeng pointed at Lu Ping and laughed, saying, "I knew you would think that way. No wonder Master, yes, he recommended you to your master."
Lu Ping was puzzled, "Are the four treasures not together?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng stopped laughing and said, "Today, I'll broaden your horizons. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects are nurtured by nature, the most important thing is the spirituality contained in them. It's a taboo for them to be too close to each other. It might be fine for a short period of time, but as time passes, the spirituality of the two will fight with each other and try to devour each other to strengthen themselves. The higher the grade of the Spiritual Objects, the further apart they will be from each other. Zhongxuan Laozu's four treasures contain three high-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, it's impossible for them to be placed together. "
Lu Ping never knew such a situation existed. Fortunately, the Indigo Spiritual Fire was in his Storage Ring, the Psychic Wood was with the Peach Tree Spirit, and the Soul Nurturing Wood was almost placed with the Peach Tree Spirit by Lu Ping. Fortunately, Lu Ping had another use for the Soul Nurturing Wood, so he didn't want to part with it. The Nameless Spiritual Water was also in the Thousand Bell Millet, not too far from the Peach Tree Spirit.
Lu Ping stood quietly at the side. Liang Xuanfeng and Zhu Xuanmeng didn't know that this cultivator who had just broken through to the Core Forging Stage had four Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.
