Lu Ping would never have thought that Goddess Sun would actually take out such a formula, causing Lu Ping to willingly hand over the fifteen three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs without the slightest hesitation.
Ten years of lifespan. The name of the elixir recorded in this formula was very ordinary, but also very practical: Longevity Elixir!
No wonder Goddess Sun would spare no effort to collect three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, no wonder she would view the Myriad Poison Serum as a treasure. All of this was because in the process of refining the Longevity Elixir, these two treasures were indispensable.
It was just unknown whether that Laozu of the Sun family would still have the opportunity to advance to the mid Dharma stage under the condition of extending his lifespan by ten years. Otherwise, without the support of Dharma Laozu, the Sun family's relatively independent status in Skyrend's sphere of influence would undoubtedly be lost. Without the protection of Dharma Laozu, the Sun family would naturally have to rely on Skyrend. This was also why at the trade fair, Spiritual Master Huang Tingjian had hinted to Lu Ping to give up on the "Shapeless Water."
After setting a time with Goddess Sun to go to the Outer Endless Sea, Lu Ping once again went into seclusion to practice, and there was still no news from Spiritual Master Liang.
A bowl of "Shapeless Water" was slowly condensed by Lu Ping into the Gang Qi. As the last bit of spirit water disappeared, Lu Ping quickly activated the "Water Curtain True Gang" training method. The surface of Lu Ping's body was tightly wrapped in a thin layer of Gang Qi. First, a light blue color flashed, followed by a golden Gang Qi. Then, Lu Ping's body slowly disappeared from head to toe, as if his whole body was slowly swallowed up. Then, the light blue color appeared again, and Lu Ping slowly appeared from head to toe in the Gang Qi.
The three scenes changed faster and faster, and Lu Ping's figure became more and more ethereal in the Gang Qi. After Lu Ping's Gang Qi had changed eighty-one times, the Myriad Poison Meteorite Energy Gang, the Yin Water True Gang, and the Invisible Gang Qi in Lu Ping's body completely fused together. A feeling of being able to change at will suddenly appeared in Lu Ping's Divine Thought.
With a thought from Lu Ping, the protective aura around his body spread out, and Lu Ping disappeared from the space of the House of Gold. With another thought from Lu Ping, the invisibility effect of the Formless Water disappeared. However, the defensive power of the protective aura around his body did not change at all. The area within one zhang around Lu Ping was enveloped in a layer of faint golden mist. From afar, Lu Ping looked like an immortal descending from the heavens.
Lu Ping had finally mastered his first Minor Divine Power: Water Curtain True Kang!
"Congratulations Daddy on mastering your Minor Divine Power!"
Lu Ping retracted the protective aura around him and saw three children around seven to eight years old standing together. They greeted Lu Ping respectfully and congratulated Lu Ping in their childish voices.
Lu Ping laughed heartily and said, "The [Water Curtain True Astral Shield] is just a small skill that relies on external forces. It's only a defensive skill. When I, your father, have mastered a great skill, then I'll be considered a great achievement among cultivators of the same level."
Lu Ping pointed at the three children and said with a smile, "On the other hand, the three of you have broken through to the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm. You are only one step away from the Golden Core Realm. That is the real good news!"
The three children were overjoyed when they heard Lu Ping's praise. They danced around in the House of Gold.
The three boys were none other than the Emerald Sea Spirit Snakes. After consuming the Half-Transformation Pellets Lu Ping had concocted for them, they were able to take human form. However, other than their upper bodies that were identical to humans, their legs weren't visible. Their upper bodies were still supported by a large snake tail.
Among the three children, Lu Bi and Lu Ling looked like two little girls while Lu Hai looked like a little boy. All three of them had baby fat on their faces. Their innocent eyes were filled with admiration for Lu Ping.
In fact, after reaching the Late Blood Condensation Realm, demonic beasts could transform into human form by consuming the Half-Step Transformation Pill. However, just like the Green Phoenix, Samling was unwilling to consume the Half-Step Transformation Pill after reaching the Late Blood Condensation Realm. This puzzled Lu Ping.
Later, Lu Ping found out that demonic beasts would still have many demonic beast characteristics on their bodies after reaching the Late Blood Condensation Realm. For example, Samling could only transform his upper body into human form when he was at the Late Blood Condensation Realm. If Samling chose to transform when he was at the Seventh Layer, then Samling's appearance would most likely be a monster covered in scales with a forked tongue sticking out of his mouth. He would not be as lovable as he was now.
Samling discovered this from his inherited memories. That was why he chose to transform after reaching the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
It was also for this reason that the Cyan Luan had always refused to take the Half-Step Transformation Pill, even though her cultivation level had long been on the verge of breaking through to the Gold Core stage. According to her, the reason was that after the Half-Step Transformation Pill, the Cyan Luan's physical characteristics were exactly the same as a human's except for its beak. However, it was this beak that made Lu Qin decide to postpone the Half-Step Transformation Pill until she reached the Core Forging stage.
What made Lu Ping laugh was that even though they were both Luans, the Green Phoenix, Lu Qin, and the Wood Phoenix, Luan Yu, retained different demonic beast characteristics after reaching the Half-Step Transformation Realm. Lu Qin retained her beak, while Luan Yu had a long neck.
What surprised Lu Ping was that Lu Qin actually knew what he would look like after reaching the Half-Step Transformation Realm. This was obviously from her memories. According to Lu Ping's knowledge, the inherited memories could only be passed down among demonic beasts like Samling. It seemed that Lu Qin really did have half of the Fire Phoenix bloodline in her body. No wonder Yan Wujiu valued her so much.
Lu Ping waved his hand and said, "The three of you should hurry up and cultivate. In the future, when we return to the Fallen Secret Realm, there is still an important matter to attend to. Father is currently in urgent need of manpower. Now that you have succeeded in your cultivation, you can help father greatly."
When Samling heard that he could help Lu Ping, he was overjoyed. After being encouraged by Lu Ping, he happily ran off to cultivate.
A few days later, Lu Ping and Sun Xianzi secretly arrived at the Outer Sea. At this time, the Outer Sea had completely turned into a sea of demonic beasts. In the past, this sea could only be regarded as the border between the human and demonic beasts of the Eastern Sea, equivalent to the buffer sea of the Northern Sea. But now, it had become the frontline of demonic beasts.
Lu Ping's expression was a bit ugly as he looked at the place where Sun Xianzi had brought him. There was only a pile of rocks here, how could there be any "Bejewelled Water"!
Sun Xianzi was obviously also startled, but she immediately explained to Lu Ping, "Lu Daoyou, there really was" Bejewelled Water "here before. That day, when I obtained the" Bejewelled Water "here, the" Bejewelled Water "was inside a towering rock. Because I really didn't have time to take it away, I had to leave first. At that time, this place was not a pile of rocks, but a stone valley. Now that it has become like this, it was clearly deliberately destroyed by demonic beasts."
Lu Ping nodded, "I believe Fairy's words, but I am curious how Fairy found the two types of Bejewelled Water wrapped in a huge rock. If you add in the" Formless Water "found in the Heavy Profound Cave, then Fairy's luck is a bit too good."
Hearing that Lu Ping didn't have any prejudice against her because of the "Bejewelled Water", Sun Xianzi heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn't know why, but even though Lu Ping was only a First Layer Core Forging Realm cultivator, Sun Xianzi was a little afraid of offending him. After losing the "Bejewelled Water", Sun Xianzi was still a Mid Core Forging Realm cultivator, but the first thing she thought of was to absolve herself in front of Lu Ping, as if she was really afraid that Lu Ping would bear a grudge against the Sun Clan because of this.
The island had long been occupied by demonic beasts. Lu Ping spread out his divine sense, and the number of demonic beasts in a radius of a few li was extremely large. Lu Ping was secretly alarmed, "Could it be that there will also be a beast tide in the East Sea?"
Just as the two were about to leave, a half-transformed peak Blood Condensation demonic beast slowly walked in their direction. Behind this demonic beast were several Blood Condensation demonic beasts of various shapes and sizes. They barely formed a line, as if they were patrolling the island.
Lu Ping and Sun Xianzi glanced at each other, then secretly moved forward. Suddenly, Lu Ping's Golden Scale Sword flashed, and three Late Blood Condensation demonic beasts were already beheaded. As the Golden Scale Sword flew out, Lu Ping pointed with his finger, and two silver lights flashed. The two demonic beasts groaned, and two flowers of blood burst out from their chests, and their bodies fell to the ground.
The sixth demonic beast opened its mouth to scream, but a cold snort suddenly sounded in its mind. The demonic beast's eyes glazed over, clearly shocked by Lu Ping's powerful divine sense.
Just as Lu Ping silently killed the six Late Blood Condensation demonic beasts, Sun Xianzi threw out a bamboo cage-like artifact and trapped the leading Peak Blood Condensation demonic beast inside. No matter how the demonic beast beat and roared inside the bamboo cage, not a single sound came out.
Fairy Sun looked at the six demonic beasts on the ground and praised, "Lu Daoyou killed six Late Blood Condensation demonic beasts in an instant. You're really amazing!"
Lu Ping smiled, "Fairy Sun must be joking. Fairy Sun also said that these six demonic beasts were only Blood Condensation demonic beasts. I'm a Core Forging Enlightened Master, and I killed six demonic beasts effortlessly. Even so, I don't deserve such praise from Fairy Sun!"
Fairy Sun shook her head and said solemnly, "It's easy for a First Stage Core Forging cultivator to kill a few Late Blood Condensation demonic beasts, but it's extremely difficult to prevent them from making a sound."
Lu Ping smiled, but didn't reply.
Fairy Sun didn't mind. She extended her hand through the gap in the cage, but the roaring monster didn't seem to notice. Fairy Sun's hand slapped the monster's head. The monster's head jerked backwards and its eyes began to turn white.
A moment later, Fairy Sun pulled her hand out of the bamboo cage, and the demonic beast fell back.
Seeing Fairy Sun's serious expression, Lu Ping asked, "Could it be that the demonic cultivator who obtained the 'Bejewelled Nectar' is extremely difficult to deal with?"
Fairy Sun nodded, "Yes, the leader of this generation of demonic beasts is from the Kun clan!"
"Kun?"
Lu Ping was startled. He immediately thought of the demonic cultivator that he and Chu Ting barely managed to fend off. After it transformed into its original form, it was an incomparably huge Kun.
The Kun clan was also a top-tier demonic beast. It was one of the few demonic beasts that lived in the water and had the bloodline of the Peng. They had inherited their memories, and although they weren't large in number, they were extremely powerful. Their status in the East Sea was comparable to the Green Sea Snake.
Fairy Sun collected the bamboo cage and said, "This time, it's a bit tricky. With just the two of us, we can defeat this Kun, but it'll be extremely difficult to kill it. What's more, we're in the territory of the demonic beasts. They can summon their comrades at any time, and we'll be the ones to suffer."
Lu Ping nodded, and the two of them retreated.
Lu Ping looked at the unconscious demonic beast on the ground after Fairy Sun searched its soul, and casually swung the Golden Scale Sword.
Fairy Sun hurriedly said, "Don't!"
But it was already too late. The demonic beast had already been cut in half by the Golden Scale Sword.
Fairy Sun hurriedly said, "Let's go!"
When Fairy Sun stopped him, Lu Ping realized that he had overlooked something.
The two of them hurriedly left the island, and suddenly heard a loud roar from the bottom of the sea, "Who dares to kill the Demon General under my command!"
