Lu Ping waited for his replacement cultivator to return to Xuan Qi Island. He handed over 400 catties of spirit grains and reported the situation on Huang Li Island to a Blood Condensation Realm master immortal. That was all.
Afterwards, he paid a visit to Master Immortal Liu and asked him some questions about cultivation. Master Immortal Liu answered every question in detail, no matter how big or small, which made Lu Ping very grateful.
Master Immortal Liu was a very decent person. He was fair to all his disciples. As long as they worked hard and made progress, he would give them unexpected rewards. Even though the rewards were small, it was enough to surprise them. He knew when to provide the most appropriate help.
Lu Ping was able to become the third strongest disciple in Group 7 because of Master Immortal Liu's secret protection. Otherwise, how could an orphan like Lu Ping be able to suppress Li Cheng, who came from a cultivator family?
After that, Lu Ping told the other returning martial brothers of Group 7 about what had happened in the past three months. After that, they all received the sect's subsidies. For example, Lu Ping received 180 spirit stones for three months and 20 catties of spirit grain seeds. Of course, Lu Ping wouldn't use them, but he couldn't let them go to waste either. It would be a waste if he didn't take them.
Just like that, one-third of the three-day holiday was over.
On the second day, everyone teleported to the nearest mid-sized island, Kun Island, to buy cultivation supplies. Lu Ping could only spend more spirit stones to teleport back to Truesoul Side Hall to buy pills. Fortunately, there were still a few people who needed to go back to Truesoul Side Hall to deal with some matters. Everyone shared the cost, so they didn't have much spirit stones left.
After buying pills, spirit spring water, talisman paper, spirit ink, and various talismans, they hurried back to Xuan Qi Island and rested for a night. On the third day, everyone said their goodbyes and returned to their respective islands.
As soon as they returned, the Spirit-seeking Mouse, Dabao, came out of nowhere and crawled up his pants to his hand. It then squeaked as if it had done something important.
Lu Ping's face lit up. He took out a spirit beast pill made from spirit grains from his spirit beast pouch and rewarded it to Dabao. Then he said, "Did Dabao find a spirit gathering place? Bring me there to have a look! "
After Dabao had finished swallowing the medicine, his small head nodded up and down extremely quickly. Then, like a wisp of smoke, he jumped down from Lu Ping's hand and ran outside. Lu Ping followed Dabao towards the east side of Huang Li Island. Lu Ping couldn't help but feel a little strange. Most of the spiritual fields on the island were located at the bottom of the small hill on the island. Moreover, there were five spiritual fields in the mountain forest on the west side of the island. The east side had been developed much earlier. If there were spiritual fields, they would have discovered it long ago.
When he arrived at his destination, Lu Ping finally understood what was going on. It was precisely because the east was developed early that irrigation was convenient. Most of the paddy fields had a higher yield, so it was muddy all year round.
In the past, the Master Immortals stationed on the island had a preconceived notion that this place was the first to be developed and had already been surveyed by others. Secondly, the Master Immortals really couldn't put down their pride to come to this kind of muddy pond. Thus, this spirit gathering place became dark under the lamp.
Lu Ping carefully examined this spirit gathering place. He discovered that this place could be developed into a spiritual field that was about one mu in size. According to the usual practice, this spiritual field didn't need to be reported before his three-year mission ended. In other words, before he left, this one mu of spiritual field would be his private spiritual field.
Overjoyed, Lu Ping took out a leftover Blood Enhancement Pill from his storage pouch. This was a type of pill suitable for Fourth or Fifth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivators. He tossed it to Dabao. Dabao didn't have any spiritual intelligence at all. Seeing that it was a gift from its master, it grabbed the pill and bit it. When Lu Ping reacted, he only managed to snatch half of the pill from Dabao's mouth. After swallowing the other half, Dabao splashed into the muddy pond and fainted.
Putting Dabao's tragic experience aside, Lu Ping suddenly felt that there was finally a little surprise in his life. Therefore, he happily turned this one mu of cement pond into a spiritual field. Together with the previous five mu of spiritual field, he planted the spiritual grains.
Life seemed to have returned to the same old routine for the past three months. Lu Ping, who was originally immersed in cultivation, suddenly thought of something. He thought of Lin Sheng on Huang Yu Island!
Lu Ping fell into Lin Sheng's trap and came to Huang Li Island to plant spiritual grains. Meanwhile, he hired people to dig for spiritual stones on Huang Yu Island. He didn't even need to lift a finger to get 300 spiritual stones every month.
Lu Ping had a detailed map of this sea area. Moreover, he had personally killed people on Huang Yu Island to seize the island. Naturally, he knew the area very well.
When he returned to Xuan Qi Island, he secretly heard from his fellow disciples that the spiritual stones on Huang Yu Island were delivered to him every ten days. Perhaps it was because Xuan Ling Sect wanted to keep the secret of the spiritual stone mine. But Zhenling didn't need to keep it a secret. Moreover, he had a Core Forging expert on his side. Naturally, he didn't need to worry.
It was almost the end of the month, and it was a cloudy day. Lu Ping exclaimed in his heart, "Even the heavens are helping me!"
After saying that, he took out a few different items from his interspatial pouch. There were bottles, artifacts, talismans, and a set of Xuan Ling Sect's outer disciple's uniform.
Lu Ping actually kept the Xuan Ling Sect disciple's uniform that he used to rob Huang Yu Island and Huang Li Island the last time he attacked Xuan Qi Island!
The sky gradually darkened. Lu Ping had been hiding on Huang Yu Island for an entire day. He had already used three invisibility talismans, but Lin Sheng still stayed in the cultivation room on the island. It seemed like Lu Ping wasn't the only one who was working hard. Lin Sheng was a few months younger than Lu Ping, but he had entered the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm two years earlier than Lu Ping. He was probably preparing to advance to the Blood Condensation Realm by now.
Just as Lu Ping was lost in his thoughts, one of the top-grade warning talismans on him vibrated. Lin Sheng walked towards the mine. It was still drizzling.
Lu Ping let out a long sigh. "Even the heavens aren't on your side!"
Through the talisman, Lu Ping knew that Lin Sheng was less than a hundred feet away from him.
Lu Ping slowly channeled his arcane energy into the jade bottle. A mist slowly rose from the jade bottle. Gradually, the mist became denser and denser. Gradually, it merged with the drizzling rain and became a part of it. Then, along with a slight breeze, the mist slowly drifted towards Lin Sheng's direction.
Lin Sheng walked towards the mine. Today was the last day of the month. It was also the day when the miners would receive their spirit stones. Although the deadline for handing in spirit stones had changed to once a month, Lin Sheng still came every five days to prevent the miners from embezzling spirit stones and to ensure the safety of the spirit stones.
Lin Sheng, who was only one step away from the peak of the ninth level, was in a good mood. Once he reached the Blood Condensation Realm, he would be able to become an inner disciple of Zhenling. Before that, he had received the treatment of an inner disciple because of the competition. However, he had not reached the Blood Condensation Realm, so he was not an official inner disciple.
As he got closer and closer to the mine, the rain was a little strange. Why was it so sticky when it landed on his body? If only he was in the Blood Condensation Realm. The rain wouldn't even touch his body before it was blocked by his arcane energy.
The wind was also strange. The treetops in the distance were all facing west. It was obviously an east wind. Lin Sheng was walking towards the northeast, so why was the wind blowing from the front? Suddenly, Lin Sheng shivered. Only now did he realize that there was a hint of sweetness in the air. He hadn't noticed it for so long. Someone was plotting against him!
"Who is it? Show yourself!" Lin Sheng roared.
