After replenishing his cultivation supplies for the next three months, Lu Ping heard from Shi Lingling that Di Kun Island's market was going to hold an auction for Blood Refining Realm disciples in half a year's time. He decided to go and have a look at what he didn't need.
His cultivation schedule had been too tight recently, so it was time to take a look at what he got from Lin Sheng.
About a hundred miles southwest of Huang Yu Island, on the reefs of the sea, a magic artifact that looked like a carriage flew over from afar. When the carriage stopped, four cultivators wearing Xuan Ling Sect's disciple robes jumped out.
One of them, who seemed to be in his mid-twenties, said, "We can't go any further north. If we go any further, we'll be in Zhenling's territory."
The youngest of the four, a boy around sixteen or seventeen years old, asked, "Senior Martial Brother Qiao, has Zhenling gone mad? He just took over our Xuan Qi Island, and recently, he's been going overboard. Blood Condensation Realm cultivators are constantly appearing in our waters. Are they planning to invade our island?"
A female cultivator beside Senior Martial Brother Qiao giggled and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhou, Zhenling was only able to take over Xuan Qi Island because he was lucky. Otherwise, with our Xuan Ling Sect's number one strength in the northern sea, why would we be afraid of Zhenling? Besides, we have thousands of islands, so what if we lose one? Just treat it as a reward to Zhenling. "
Senior Martial Brother Qiao glanced at the female cultivator beside him and said, "We can't be careless. This time, we were sent to patrol the sea. Although we didn't understand Zhenling's recent movements, we accidentally discovered three Zhenling cultivators wandering around the nearby waters. They seemed to be looking for something."
Just as Senior Martial Brother Qiao finished speaking, a streak of light flew over from the direction of Huang Li Island. A short cultivator landed beside the four of them. When Senior Martial Brother Qiao saw Junior Martial Brother Minor Repairs, he quickly asked, "Junior Martial Brother Yin, did you find out what those three are doing?"
Junior Martial Brother Yin nodded his head and said, "They should have found a cultivator's cave. The three of them stopped at an island fifty kilometers south of Huang Li Island. They haven't found the exact location of the cave yet, but the three of them should have run out of supplies and will return to Zhenling to replenish their supplies. They agreed to explore in three days."
Senior Brother Qiao asked again, "How are their cultivations?"
Junior Martial Brother Yin said, "Two Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivators and one Eighth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator. All three of them have mystic artifacts."
"Let's do it!" The only cultivator behind Senior Martial Brother Qiao who hadn't spoken yet fiercely said.
Senior Martial Brother Qiao pondered for a moment and agreed, "Among the five of us, four of us have reached the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm, and we all have mystic instruments with us. It shouldn't be a problem for us to take down the three of them."
The cultivator behind Senior Martial Brother Qiao continued, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Let them help us find the cave abode before we make our move! "
The female cultivator also added: "The day after tomorrow, we'll have to set up an ambush on the reef."
Finally, Senior Martial Brother Qiao said, "Let's end the battle quickly. That place is not far from Huang Li Island, and it'll be troublesome if we attract the cultivators stationed there."
After discussing their plan, the group returned to the carriage and flew towards Xuan Ling Sect.
Not long after the five of them left, a splash suddenly appeared on a reef, and Lu Ping flew up from it. Initially, Lu Ping was here to retrieve the storage bag containing Lin Sheng's belongings, but he didn't expect to run into Xuan Ling Sect's disciples plotting against his own.
He didn't expect that there would be such a treasure in the area under his jurisdiction. No matter what, he had to get a share of the loot. Lu Ping looked at the Invisibility Talisman and Spirit-Sealing Talisman he had used to hide himself. He gritted his teeth and flew towards Huang Li Island, counting his spoils first.
After Lu Ping flew away, a giant snake's head suddenly rose from the calm sea, looking in the direction Lu Ping flew to. The snake's forked tongue flickered in and out of its mouth like a sword, as if it was trying to identify the scent of Xuan Ling Sect disciples and Lu Ping.
A moment later, the giant snake's head slowly sank into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
It seemed like Zhenling and the Lin Family had not only alerted Xuan Ling Sect, but also alerted the sea demons because of Lin Sheng. The culprit of all this, Lu Ping, still had no idea that he had become someone else's oriole. At this moment, Lu Ping couldn't wait to count Lin Sheng's belongings.
Lu Ping's excitement didn't diminish even after two months of cold storage. Looking at the pile of items in the cultivation room, Lu Ping was in a good mood.
The two mid-grade mystic instruments that Lin Sheng used to fight Lu Ping, a flying sword and a handkerchief, were naturally in Lu Ping's pocket. There was also a mid-grade flying sword that was specially used for flying. This flying sword was a flying mystic instrument and didn't have any attack power.
There were also two low-grade mystic instruments, one for offense and one for defense. They should be Lin Sheng's backup mystic instruments, so Lu Ping naturally didn't want them.
Lin Sheng used six bottles of Blood Solidifying Pills for cultivation. Lu Ping was pleasantly surprised and envious. Lin Sheng was indeed a descendant of an aristocratic family. Moreover, Lin Sheng was the Lin Family's genius. Not only did he have enough elixirs for cultivation, but the quality was also very high.
Lu Ping was worried that he would have to use Blood Essence Pills for cultivation for one month out of every three months. Now, for the rest of the year, he could use Blood Solidifying Pills and Blood Vigor Pills for cultivation.
There were also some elixirs that could restore magic power and heal various injuries. They were also of high quality. It could be seen that the Lin Family had invested a lot in Lin Sheng.
The spirit stone mine produced 1,300 to 400 spirit stones a month. Lin Sheng himself had 500 spirit stones on him, so he had saved up for two months of cultivation expenses.
Although the harvest was huge, the Blood Condensing Pills and the spirit herbs needed to concoct Blood Condensing Pills that Lu Ping had hoped to obtain were not available.
Lu Ping also knew that there wasn't much hope, but he had been hoping for the slightest chance.
Even though Lin Sheng had obtained the Blood Condensing Pill as a reward in the competition, this reward was usually controlled by the leading immortal. It would only be given out when a disciple was preparing to break through. This was to prevent others from coveting it. As far as Lu Ping knew, Yao Yong and Du Feng, who had obtained the Blood Condensing Pills, had asked Master Immortal Liu and the others to look after them.
Lu Ping didn't care about the other miscellaneous items. Only two jade scrolls piqued Lu Ping's interest. One of the jade scrolls was called "Alchemy Basics." It explained the basic knowledge of alchemy. Ever since Lu Ping had been troubled by the problem of cultivating elixirs, he had thought of learning alchemy on his own more than once. That way, he wouldn't have to be controlled by others.
However, Zhenling's requirements for alchemists were strict. Alchemists were also very careful about their own confidentiality. The art of alchemy itself was a huge and rigorous system. In addition, alchemists had to waste a lot of cultivation resources to improve their alchemy skills. For Lu Ping, this was something he couldn't afford.
The "Alchemy Basics" jade scroll introduced the basic knowledge of alchemy in detail. It even included a few Blood Refining Realm cultivation elixirs. However, they were all ordinary elixirs. Lu Ping no longer used these elixirs to cultivate, but it was a necessary practice for him to learn alchemy.
The second jade scroll recorded a secret technique called "Blood Sacrifice Art." This secret technique involved refining an artifact with one's own blood and detonating it during battle. When it was still a low-grade artifact, the power of the explosion was equivalent to a full-force attack from a Blood Condensation Realm expert.
However, this secret technique not only consumed the cultivator's blood that contained magic energy, but it also required the destruction of the artifact. It could be said that killing 1,000 enemies came with 800 casualties.
