Hearing Chu Ting's words, Lu Ping looked at her strangely and said, "Now the situation of the 'boudoir' is not very good. If they do it again in the Fallen Mystery Land, aren't they afraid that they will become the target of public criticism?"
Chu Ting said confidently, "Don't worry. Now the situation between humans and demons in the East Sea is getting more and more serious. Many cultivators have been in constant conflict with the demon cultivators in the Outer Sea. Small-scale fights are everywhere. The 'boudoir' hides deeper than you think. Once the war between humans and demons breaks out, the top priority is to unite all the human cultivators to fight against the demons. If not, the Crystal Palace will not destroy themselves. At that time, the 'boudoir' can take advantage of the situation and establish their own sect. It is not impossible for them to become the sixth sect in the East Sea."
Lu Ping was a little speechless. But from Chu Ting's words, he could tell that the "boudoir" was much stronger than he had imagined. If the "boudoir" really took advantage of the war between the human and monster races and made great contributions in the war, the five great sects wouldn't have an excuse to join forces to destroy the "boudoir" after the war. However, it was inevitable that the "boudoir" would be suppressed.
Of course, the premise of all this was that the 'boudoir' had enough power to protect itself. Obviously, Chu Ting believed that the 'boudoir' had this power.
"What about the Northern Alliance?" Lu Ping asked, "After all, nominally, the Wang family is still one of the 36 medium-sized forces belonging to the Northern Alliance. If we act rashly and alarm the Northern Alliance, we will lose more than we gain."
"The Northern Alliance and our 'boudoir' have been in contact for a long time. What's more, it is no secret that the Wang family defected to the Crystal Palace. It is just that the Northern Alliance and the Crystal Palace have their own scruples, and no one is willing to fall out with each other. At this time, if we jump out and become the spear of the Northern Alliance, according to the rules of the Northern Alliance, we can challenge the Wang family's position in the Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance will be more than happy to do that. Besides, this time, you are the nominal leader, and it has nothing to do with my 'boudoir'. For the sake of your alchemy master, the Northern Alliance will not make things too difficult for us."
"Since I'm here, how can my faction compete with the Wang family? If I expel the Wang family, will this faction still be under my control?"
This was what Lu Ping was concerned about. After all, the Wang Clan of the Three Clans Island had four Enlightened Masters. With Lu Ping's experience on Soundwave Island, he was far from a match for them. Even with Chi Lianying, there were only two Enlightened Masters. Moreover, they were only at the first layer of the Core Forging Realm. How could they be a match for the Wang Clan that had been operating for hundreds of years?
Even if Lu Ping had the help of the "boudoir" and the Lee family, and won with the consent of the Northern Alliance, how could the force that helped Lu Ping be under Lu Ping's control?
"Brother Lu, you're not from the Eastern Sea after all. You'll have to leave the Eastern Sea sooner or later. As long as you expel the Wang Clan, even if this faction changes hands, you'll still be able to make a profit!"
Chu Ting's words were very clear. This was not Lu Ping's base. Lu Ping was only a spokesperson of the "boudoir". After everything was over, Lu Ping could leave with the benefits, but the "boudoir" of the Wang Clan would never let go of the Fallen Mystery Land.
"How much do you know about your teacher, Miss Chu?" Lu Ping changed the topic.
"I know what you're going to say, Brother Lu." Chu Ting picked up the spiritual tea beside her and took a sip. She continued, "Teacher might be closely related to your sect, but he has left the Northern Sea and is now one of the elders in charge of the" boudoir ". My younger sister is also one of the 24 pavilion masters of the" boudoir ". My younger sister naturally takes the" boudoir "as her foothold when she does things. I believe that Teacher is the same!"
"Miss Chu, are you so sure that you won't be able to do it once you leave the" boudoir "?"
Lu Ping asked unhurriedly. He then said, "The" boudoir "can provide help, and the benefits can be distributed, but the force must be under my control. Once it's done, the experts of the" boudoir "will immediately leave."
Chu Ting looked into Lu Ping's eyes and asked, "Brother Lu, are you so confident that you can still hold on to the territory after the" boudoir "leaves? Even Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng can't stay in the Fallen Mystery Land forever, right? "
Lu Ping looked at Chu Ting and smiled. "Maybe we don't need the" boudoir "to do anything. We can also expel the Wang Clan, but it might take a little longer!"
Since they could expel the Wang Clan, they could naturally defend it!
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had been in seclusion for more than a month. Logically speaking, he should have already refined the Bell Cauldron Pill and recovered his foundation. Just as Lu Ping was wondering if there would be any changes, he felt the spiritual qi in the surroundings suddenly become restless and slowly flowed towards Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's cultivation room.
Lu Ping was overjoyed and quickly walked towards Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's cultivation room. Zhu Xuanmeng and Chu Ting obviously also noticed the change in Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's cultivation room. Not long after Lu Ping arrived, they also rushed over.
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had clearly encountered an opportunity to break through. Breaking through from the eighth to the ninth stage of the core forging realm was not like breaking through from the Blood Condensation realm to the Core Forging realm, or from the early stage to the late stage of the core forging realm. This was a natural process of breaking through with the accumulation of true essence.
However, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng was, after all, a late-stage core forging cultivator. Although there was no accompanying celestial phenomenon during the breakthrough, the amount of spiritual qi he absorbed during the breakthrough was still shocking. But soon, Lu Ping and the others felt that something was wrong.
Although the Silver Sword Island was one of the three large islands of Skyrend, it wasn't Skyrend's territory. There was only a medium-sized spirit vein on the island, and it had been collected by the cultivators of Skyrend who were stationed on the island. The concentration of spiritual qi in the market where Lu Ping and the others were at was only equivalent to that of a miniature spirit vein.
When Perfected Liang Xuanfeng broke through, he attracted all the spiritual qi within the range of his spiritual sense. Although spiritual qi from further away was replenishing it, the speed at which it was replenished was still slower than the speed at which he absorbed it. At this moment, a spiritual qi vacuum had formed around Lu Ping and the others.
This kind of opportunity for a cultivator to break through was like an epiphany. It was something that could only be found by chance. If Perfected Liang Xuanfeng didn't seize this opportunity to break through to the ninth stage of the core forging realm, he didn't know when he would get another opportunity.
At this moment, the sound of spirit stones shattering could be heard in the cultivation room. Clearly, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng also realized that this was a rare opportunity. He decided to take a gamble and started using the method of directly shattering spirit stones to extract spiritual qi. Although this method was extremely wasteful, it was worth it if he could break through.
Lu Ping's heart thumped and his divine sense swept into the cultivation room. Zhu Xuanmeng and Chu Ting frowned. It was a taboo to disturb a cultivator during a breakthrough. The two of them wanted to stop Lu Ping, but they remembered that he wasn't an impulsive person. Maybe he had thought of something, so they didn't say anything.
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng obviously had the same thought as the two of them. When he sensed that Lu Ping's spiritual sense had entered the cultivation room, he thought for a moment and didn't stop him.
When Lu Ping's spiritual sense entered the cultivation room, he noticed that Perfected Liang Xuanfeng was about to shatter the dozens of mid-grade spirit stones in his hand. Thus, he wrapped them with his spiritual sense and used the "Spirit Explosion Technique". A wave of spiritual qi that was far purer and gentler than before exploded and went directly into Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's body.
Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng's expression turned serious. With a thought, the floor of the cultivation room was covered with a layer of spirit stones. Lu Ping took a quick look and found that there were at least four to five thousand mid-grade spirit stones, not to mention low-grade spirit stones. In the middle, there were about twenty to thirty large, crystal-clear high-grade spirit stones.
Lu Ping wrapped a hundred mid-grade spirit stones with his spiritual sense and used the "Spirit Explosion Technique" again. A small spiritual qi storm appeared in the cultivation room and formed a shallow spiritual qi vortex around Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's body.
Lu Ping didn't dare to be negligent. He used the "Spirit Explosion Technique" one after another. Each time, he used a hundred mid-grade spirit stones. After more than forty times, he exploded all the mid-grade spirit stones on the ground and crushed thousands of low-grade spirit stones as well. The ground was covered with the remains of spirit stones that had turned into white powder.
Although this still caused a lot of waste, it was many times better than simply crushing the spirit stones. At the very least, the situation of Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's breakthrough was getting better. The aura around his body was also getting stronger. It was as if his entire body was covered by a gust of wind and he was about to turn into a feather and ascend to the sky.
Lu Ping looked at the twenty-eight high-grade spirit stones on the ground covetously, but he didn't hesitate at all. This was the critical moment for Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's breakthrough. Lu Ping used the "Spirit Explosion Technique" on three of the high-grade spirit stones and exploded them. A spiritual qi that was far denser than before fused with Perfected Liang Xuanfeng, who was about to turn into wind.
Lu Ping used the "Spirit Explosion Technique" seven times again. Only four of the twenty-eight high-grade spirit stones were left. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng, who seemed to be floating in the breeze, finally became a "Perfected Person" again.
A burst of pressure flashed past. It was obvious that Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had quickly adapted to the enhanced Spiritual Force and True Essence after his breakthrough. In an instant, he regained control of his Spiritual Force.
Then, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng opened his eyes and looked at the layer of spirit stone powder on the ground. The corners of his mouth twitched. Seeing that Lu Ping's Spiritual Force was about to use the "Spirit Explosion Technique" on the three high-grade spirit stones again, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng said anxiously, "Enough, enough. This is the last bit of your Uncle-Master's wealth."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Uncle-Master, you've just broken through. Don't you need to consolidate your cultivation?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng reached out and put the remaining four high-grade spirit stones into his storage artifact. He said, "Anyway, I've already broken through. Without your secret technique to explode spirit stones, I'll just have to go into seclusion for a few more days. I'd better save these spirit stones!"
Half a month later, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng came out of the cultivation room and saw Lu Ping waiting for him at the door with a smile.
Seeing that Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had come out of seclusion, Lu Ping smiled and said, "Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation, Uncle-Master. You're one step closer to becoming our sect's Dharma Form Laozu."
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng did not suspect anything. He was excited and said, "It's all thanks to the Zhong Ding Pill you refined. Your Uncle-Master has long reached the point of breaking through to the ninth stage of the Core Forging Realm. Unfortunately, I failed several times before. This time, with the help of the Zhong Ding Pill, I finally broke through this shackle."
Lu Ping sighed and said, "That's right. I've suffered a great loss to refine the Zhong Ding Pill this time. I've lost nearly a hundred types of thousand-year-old spirit herbs and seven three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, but I only managed to refine one Zhong Ding Pill. I even lost 20 high-grade spirit stones because of it!"
Lu Ping deliberately mentioned the high-grade spirit stones at the end, doubling the number of losses.
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng had a strange look on his face. How could he not know what Lu Ping was planning? He said, "Kid, don't even think about taking the spirit stones. As you can see, your Uncle-Master is now penniless. I only have those four high-grade spirit stones left!"
Lu Ping chuckled and stepped forward. "Martial Uncle, I'm sure you still have some spirit stones left, right? I don't believe that a famous Late Core Forging Realm expert like you only has less than a million spirit stones. I won't take it for free, how about I trade with you? I only want high-grade spirit stones! "
