After sending Chu Ting off, Lu Ping took out a jade slip and carefully read its contents. It recorded some information about the Wang Family of the Three Families Island.
Lu Ping carefully thought about the Wang Family's arrangement in the Fallen Secret Land and compared it with the power he had in his hands. His expression didn't change, but he made a few hand seals and sent out two sound transmitting swords. Then he completely sealed the cave mansion and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Three months later, the spiritual energy within a few miles radius of Lu Ping's cave-dwelling fluctuated again. The phenomenon caused by his breakthrough appeared above the cave-dwelling again.
But this time, the phenomenon was much smaller. Apart from the tide of spiritual force caused by the gathering of spiritual qi, only the flowers and trees within a thousand feet of the cave mansion fell towards the direction of the cave mansion. After the phenomenon disappeared, the large plants like trees returned to their original state. However, the delicate plants like flowers and grass still bowed in the direction of the cave mansion rented by Lu Ping.
In the Golden House of the cultivation room of the cave mansion, Lu Ping looked at some of the things that happened in the space and said to himself with lingering fear, "Fortunately, the spatial magic tool weakened the phenomenon. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble it would have caused. Even if I suddenly become a target of everyone, I wouldn't be able to say anything. Is this the reason why the Wood Luan Bird Clan was almost exterminated?"
Because of the spatial magic tool, the phenomenon outside the cave mansion was weakened by the Golden House. After the Wood Luan Yu formed his Gold Core, it didn't attract the attention of the people in Qianyuan City. After all, it was just an ordinary Core Forging Sage. Looking at the scale of the phenomenon caused by his breakthrough, it was likely that his cultivation would remain at the early Core Forging Stage for the rest of his life.
In the Golden House, Lu Ping had already opened up a large spirit herb garden on the plain beneath Lone Mountain. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Ping was constantly on the move, he would've opened up a larger spirit herb garden in the Mystic Space and the Qian Zhong Millet mystic instrument with him. Without the spirit vein's long-term nourishment, Lu Ping might've opened up a larger spirit herb garden.
However, during the time when Luan Yu broke through to the Core Forging Realm, the Golden House's strange phenomenon caused by the Heaven and Earth Anomaly in the Golden House had pushed most of the ordinary spirit herbs to the brink of maturity. The 500-year spirit herbs all had their medicinal efficacy increased by 50 years, the 1,000-year spirit herbs had their medicinal efficacy increased by 20 to 30 years, and the 3,000-year spirit herbs had their medicinal efficacy increased by 20 to 30 years. Although the 3,000-year spirit herbs didn't seem to be affected at all, it was still enough to shock Lu Ping.
The Wood Luan Bird had the innate ability to grow spiritual herbs. No wonder!
Another two months passed, and the Spiritual Qi in the cave mansion became chaotic again. The surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered towards a small golden hut in the middle of the cultivation room. This time, the momentum was much smaller, and the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi was only equivalent to that of a Core Forging Daoist Master practicing a spell.
However, this cultivator who was in seclusion didn't need to practice a spell for such a long time!
When the cultivators around Lu Ping's cave-dwelling saw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converging towards the cave-dwelling for three whole days, they all cursed Lu Ping for being a freak. Even a Mid Core Forging Realm cultivator would run out of arcane energy after practicing spells for three days straight.
Fortunately, the owner of the cave controlled the range of spiritual Qi fluctuations during the spell practice, so it didn't affect the cultivation of the cultivators in the surrounding caves.
A few days later, Lu Ping moved like a ghost in the space of the Golden House. One moment, he was on the top of Lonely Mountain, and the next moment, he was halfway up the mountain. When he looked back, Lu Ping had already disappeared from the top of the mountain. When he moved again, he appeared at the foot of the mountain again.
After leaving Lonely Mountain, Lu Ping began to wander around on the plain in the space. At the same time, Lu Ping's hands made a few hand seals from time to time. There was a constant whistling sound in the space, and from time to time, a few ripples appeared in the surroundings along with Lu Ping's hand seals. The grass on the plain was inexplicably cracked, and the flowers and plants were broken into two pieces for no reason. Not far from the forest, there were trees that were tens of feet tall that fell with a loud bang. The broken sections were very smooth.
As the hand seals in Lu Ping's hands became faster and faster, his figure flashed between nothingness and existence more and more rapidly. An invisible whirlpool appeared in the space out of nowhere. The grass and trees on the ground were sucked into the air, and then turned into dust and scattered around.
On Lonely Mountain, a ray of light fell down. A handsome young man of 17 or 18 years old with a trace of shyness suddenly appeared on a grassland more than a thousand feet away from Lu Ping. Then, he saw many grass, trees, and gravel were pulled into the air by an invisible force, and then suddenly broke, broke, shattered, and shattered again.
Lu Ping also seemed to notice the appearance of the young man. He stopped the hand seals, and the broken gravel and rotten wood in the air fell to the ground and piled up into a garbage hill of 30 feet high.
Lu Ping waved his right hand again, and an aqua blue flying sword suddenly appeared in Lu Ping's hand. Then, he took it.
Lu Ping walked towards the handsome young man and said with a smile, "Come out so soon? Have you consolidated your cultivation? "
When the young man saw Lu Ping walking over, he smiled and said, "Even if I'm in closed-door cultivation, you'll still have to summon me out sooner or later. I heard that you're plotting against someone else's business to establish your foothold. I'm sure I'm an indispensable part of your plan, right?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You are very direct. This time, my forces are really weak, and I don't want to be controlled by others. Maybe Brother Luan Yu will help me when the time comes."
This handsome young man was the long-necked young man, Luan Yu. At this time, he had obviously advanced to the Core Forging Stage. After transforming, he was no different from a real human.
Luan Yu looked at Lu Ping and said, "I thought that after this breakthrough, the gap between our cultivations would be reduced, but I didn't think that it would become bigger and bigger. The invisible swordsmanship just now is really extraordinary. It seems that its power is not inferior to ordinary magical power. Brother Lu, your strength has made great progress during this time."
Lu Ping said with a straight face, "These are all minor Daos. Brother Luan Yu's innate skills are what truly shocked me!"
When Luan Yu heard Lu Ping's words, his face revealed a lonely expression. He looked up at Lu Ping and asked, "Brother Lu, do you know why my Luan Clan is on the verge of extinction?"
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "It is difficult for the Luan Clan to reproduce. There are legends in the cultivation world about this. However, when Brother Luan Yu broke through to the Core Forging Stage, it caused a phenomenon. Is it because of Brother Luan Yu's magical power?"
Luan Yu laughed bitterly and said, "It is indeed related to my magical power, but it is not what Brother Lu thinks. My Luan Clan does have a magical power that can accelerate the growth of spirit grasses, but this kind of catalysis can only shorten the growth time of spirit grasses by twenty to thirty percent. Moreover, the higher the level of spirit grasses, the less effective the catalysis is. If this is the case, not only will my Luan Clan not become extinct, but it will also be highly valued by the cultivation world. This is because as long as we exist, cultivators can obtain spirit grasses more easily."
Lu Ping listened and nodded. His previous idea was indeed a whim.
"The real reason why my Luan Clan is on the verge of extinction is not because of this magical power, but because of the source of our magical power."
"You mean …" Lu Ping looked at Luan Yu with surprise and said, "The Luan Clan's Condensed Blood Bead, Golden Core, and Dharma Idol?"
"That's right!" Luan Yu raised his head and looked at the end of the space. His eyes were a little dazed as he said, "Brother Lu, do you know that if you dig up this Golden Core that I have just formed and use it to catalyze it in your 3,000-year-old spirit herb garden, it would be enough to catalyze the growth of more than 200 immature 3,000-year-old spirit grasses in less than three years!"
Lu Ping frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Three years? How is that possible?"
Luan Yu turned around and smiled at Lu Ping. He said, "That's how it is. Brother Lu, you and I are both alchemists, so we naturally know how difficult it is to obtain 3,000-year-old spirit grasses for those Dharma Idol Laozu. Nowadays, the Dharma Idol Laozu in the world of practitioners can only use core medicines that are half a step to the Dharma Idol stage. Core medicines for the Dharma Idol stage are only used at the most critical moments and when they are in a difficult situation."
At this point, Luan Yu did not need to say anything. Lu Ping could already guess. "In that case, when these Dharma Idol Laozu discover this secret of the Wood Luan race, they will hunt down the Wood Luan race practitioners in large numbers and use their Condensed Blood Pearls, Golden Cores, and Dharma Idol essence to catalyze 3,000-year-old spirit grasses and use them to create core medicines that increase their level of practice."
"That's right," Luan Yu said with a smile. "Even though all the practitioners know that this is an act of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, the best method is to let the Wood Luan race practitioners manage the spirit grasses. This way, although the spirit grasses in the world of practitioners will not be able to meet the needs of the practitioners, at least the spirit grasses in the world of practitioners will not become scarce. However, the ones who will lead the hunt are the Dharma adepts. This is because compared to the Blood Condensation adepts and Core Forging adepts, it is more difficult for a Dharma adept to advance in his level of practice. Using the essence of the Wood Luan race to catalyze 3,000-year-old spirit grasses is more valuable. At the same time, the most important thing is that Dharma adepts are the highest level of existence in the world of practitioners. When the Dharma Idol Laozu of the various powers come to an agreement or form an unspoken rule, there is no one in the world of practitioners who can keep them in check!
"Therefore, they can do whatever they want!
"Therefore, the Wood Luan race has become their sacrificial pawns!"
Lu Ping looked at the young man in front of him in a daze. He did not think that Luan Yu would be able to tell him such a secret so easily. At the same time, he could vaguely guess the real reason why Yan Wujiu had entrusted Luan Yu to him.
"Then, Brother Luan Yu, what are your plans from now on?"
"I can't go back to the Fire Luan race. Now that Master is about to break through to the Dharma stage, he has no time to look after me. In fact, even if Master had reached the Dharma stage, it would be difficult for me to return. The Fire Luan race is in chaos now, and the two factions of practitioners are fighting for power. There are many who covet me. Master is a rare alchemy grandmaster in the demon race. Although he has great prestige in the Fire Luan race, before I reached the Golden Essence stage, Master could protect me for a while. Now that I have reached the Golden Essence stage, even if Master becomes the Dharma stage Laozu, he can't always be on guard against other Laozu's. Therefore, I can only hide!"
Looking at Luan Yu's helpless expression, Lu Ping suddenly smiled and said, "Originally, I was a lazy person and really did not want to take care of these spirit herb gardens. However, in order to improve my cultivation, I had no choice but to learn alchemy. Coincidentally, I also obtained this spatial instrument. Since Brother Luan Yu is the best at managing the spirit herb gardens, then I will entrust it to Brother Luan Yu to look after it. Consider it the price for Brother Luan Yu to stay here for the night!"
Luan Yu chuckled, a trace of gratitude in his eyes. He said, "Well said!"
