In the previous battle on Xuan Qi Island, Lu Ping had personally killed two Core Forging stage demon cultivators, one of whom was a fifth-layer Core Forging expert. The fall of such a cultivator was enough to attract the attention of Dharma Idol Laozu.
During Laozu's Dharma Idol Assembly, the demon race secretly mobilized their forces to attack Zhenling. At first, the major sects of the North Sea were gloating. Ever since the Beast Tide, the major sects had suffered heavy losses. Only Zhenling had suffered the least losses. Most sects were prepared to see Zhenling make a fool out of himself.
However, to their great surprise, Zhenling displayed strength that shocked the entire North Sea cultivation world. Zhenling's famous experts, who hadn't shown themselves in front of people for decades, showed up with two peak Core Forging stage experts and two ninth-layer Core Forging stage cultivators. Not only was Zhenling unaffected, but the demons who came to attack were also beaten to a pulp. Thirteen Core Forging stage demon cultivators died in a row, and several were seriously injured. However, not a single high-level cultivator of Zhenling died. This was the most glorious victory for human cultivators since the beginning of the Great War between Humans and Demons, and it made Zhenling famous in the North Sea.
Lu Ping held the harvest of the two Core Forging stage demon cultivators in his hand. After three years of accumulation, these harvests were basically used up. Among them was a water-attribute Natural Treasure that Lu Ping had refined into his Protective Vigor Qi. Now, Lu Ping's "Water Curtain True Kang" had fused five types of water-attribute Natural Treasures. In addition, Lu Ping's cultivation was far stronger than an ordinary person's, so its defensive ability was no weaker than a Dharma treasure with two or three Treasure Seals.
Unfortunately, the two's best Dharma treasures were destroyed by Lu Ping's swordsmanship. Otherwise, Lu Ping's harvest would be even greater. Even so, Lu Ping still obtained a lot of Spirit Herbs, Spirit Materials, and Spirit Stones from them. The Outer Endless Sea was vast, and there were countless Natural Treasures in the deep sea. It was the world of the demons, so it was only natural that the two of them had such wealth.
Chong Hua Mansion was still above the small lake. Liu Tianling Laozu didn't move the mansion to the spirit vein on top of Tian Ling Mountain just because he had entered the Dharma Idol stage.
Lu Ping walked across the lake. In the lake, the demon soldiers raised by Liu Tianling Laozu all lined up neatly to let Lu Ping pass.
Lu Ping found it a bit funny. Since the last time these demon soldiers were cleaned up by Samling before the Dharma Idol Assembly, these demon soldiers saw that he was a lot more well-behaved.
When entering the Chong Hua Palace, Lu Ping suddenly had a feeling of being in a trance. His body was suddenly surrounded by a thick Spirit Qi that was far stronger than the outside world.
This was the Spirit Qi concentration of a large Spirit Vein?
Lu Ping was a little surprised. Then, he realized that this was the Avatar Great Ancestor's skill, which allowed them to comprehend the mysteries of the void. Although the location of the Chong Hua Palace didn't change, it was only a door. The real Palace of Chong Hua Palace had probably been moved to the top of Tian Ling Mountain by the Tian Ling Grand Ancestor.
As soon as Lu Ping entered the Chong Hua Palace, he saw his junior sister, Jiang Xuanxuan, sitting in the middle of the Chong Hua Palace. She was holding her chin and thinking about something.
Seeing Lu Ping come in, Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes lit up. She jumped in front of Lu Ping, reached out and said, "Ninth senior brother, my fragrance pill, my Amethyst Pill, and the playmate you found for me?"
Lu Ping handed her a jade bottle helplessly and said, "Junior sister, this fragrance pill is just a small thing. You are also a Core Forging Stage cultivator. What's the use of this thing?"
Jiang Xuanxuan took the jade bottle, opened it, and smiled with satisfaction. Then she reached out and said, "There is more!"
Lu Ping took out three jade bottles and said, "Although I put Amethyst Honey in it, it is still a cultivation pill after all. It can't be eaten as a snack!"
Jiang Xuanxuan made a face at him and said in a rough voice, "I know, ninth senior brother, you are really long-winded."
"By the way, what about the partner you found for me?" Jiang Xuanxuan immediately looked behind her and made a gesture of "you are lying to me". She curled her lips and asked sullenly.
Lu Ping smiled slightly. There was no one behind him just now, but suddenly a 13 or 14-year-old girl flashed out. The girl was obviously a naughty girl. Half of her body stretched out from behind Lu Ping and made a face at Jiang Xuanxuan.
A silver light flashed in Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes, and she said with great joy, "It turns out that you are the little phoenix of ninth senior brother. I didn't expect you to have transformed!"
The silver light flashed in Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes was obviously a kind of magical power that could see through Lu Qin's background.
Lu Qin tilted her head slightly and snorted softly, obviously saying, "Of course."
"Let's go, I will take you to play. Tianling Mountain is too deserted. No one wants to play with me. A fruit tree in dad's spiritual herb garden seems to be ripe. I will take you to steal the fruit to eat. I guarantee that no one can catch us."
Lu Ping saw that the two of them disappeared in a short while, but he didn't care and walked towards the back of the Chonghua Palace.
Tian Ling Laozu had obviously already noticed Lu Ping's arrival and was already waiting for him in the back of the palace.
After Lu Ping bowed, Tian Ling Laozu looked at him and said, "You have gained a lot in these three years. I was worried that your cultivation would grow too fast and you would lose your peace of mind. Now it seems that I worried too much."
Lu Ping thanked his teacher. Liu Tianling Laozu suddenly asked, "Are you here for the sect's reward?"
Lu Ping was stunned. He didn't expect his teacher to ask first, so he didn't hide it. He smiled generously and said, "Teacher, you are a divine fortune-teller. That's right!"
Liu Tianling Laozu giggled and said, "It's not that I am a divine fortune-teller, it's just that you are too cunning. You are usually generous and don't compete with others, but you are actually someone who can't take a loss. Otherwise, why would you wait three years to get the reward!"
Lu Ping knew that his teacher had seen through his thoughts. He blushed and chuckled. "Teacher is really perceptive. Disciple's little tricks are really not worth mentioning."
Tian Ling Laozu reached out and the space in front of Lu Ping suddenly rippled like water. A Darksteel Token appeared from the "water". Lu Ping reached out and took it. The space immediately returned to normal.
Tian Ling Laozu continued, "Go. You didn't wait for nothing these past three years. Your performance at the Dharma Manifestation Gathering and Xuan Qi Island, plus your reputation as an Alchemy Grandmaster, is enough to attract the sect's attention. I will give you the opportunity to get the reward. What you get will depend on your own luck."
After leaving Chong Hua Manor, Lu Ping was still a little confused. He didn't know what his teacher meant. Could it be that the sect still hadn't decided on his reward?
Lu Ping walked all the way to the shore of the small lake. He saw that Second Senior Sister Li Xuanru seemed to have been standing there for quite some time. Lu Ping was surprised. He knew that Second Senior Sister was probably waiting here on purpose, so he stopped and bowed to Li Xuanru.
When Li Xuanru saw Lu Ping coming over, she smiled and asked, "Junior Brother, are you here for the sect's reward?"
Lu Ping was surprised and said, "Could it be that even Senior Sister guessed it?"
Li Xuanru saw Lu Ping's embarrassed expression, so she smiled and said, "I also heard Teacher mention it before. But Junior Brother, do you know where to get the reward this time?"
"I was informed by the sect before, and Teacher also gave me a token." Lu Ping took out the token and turned it over. He said, "On one side of the token is written 'Pill' and on the other side is written 'Weapon'. It should be from the Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Hall, right?"
When Li Xuanru saw the token in Lu Ping's hand, her expression showed that she had expected it. She said, "This token is called the 'Inheritance Token' in our sect. It is the key to enter and exit the sect's major Inheritance Grounds. It was condensed by Dharma Manifestation Laozu using a trace of Void Power. It can only be used twice, and after it is used, the token will disappear."
"The Inheritance Grounds?" Lu Ping was surprised and said, "I didn't expect the sect to let me enter the Inheritance Grounds twice."
When Li Xuanru saw Lu Ping's expression, she couldn't help but feel a bit amused and angry. She said, "Junior Brother, you are one of the five Alchemy Grandmasters in our sect. In terms of status, even a Late Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master is inferior to you. The Sect's Inheritance Grounds are naturally open to you. Not only you, but as long as the sect's new Core Forging Stage Enlightened Masters have a chance to enter the Sect's Inheritance Grounds."
Li Xuanru paused. Seeing Lu Ping's stunned expression, she asked with uncertainty, "Junior Brother, don't tell me you don't even know about this?"
Seeing Lu Ping nodding in a daze, Perfected Master Li Xuan Ru giggled and said, "What should I say about you?"
After bidding farewell to Second Senior Sister, Lu Ping was about to go to the Refining Hall to have a look, but he heard Master Li Xuanru say, "The Alchemy Pavilion's Inheritance Grounds have always been guarded by the Sect's only Alchemy Grandmaster, Tianlu Laozu. These years, it has been under the control of his eldest disciple, Master Xuan Yan. Master Xuan Yan and Master Xuan Jing are fellow apprentices. When the time comes, you only need to show Master's token and enter the Alchemy Pavilion's Inheritance Grounds."
Lu Ping knew that Second Senior Sister had most likely come under Master's instructions. She purposely said this to him. From the day Lu Ping became Master Xuan Yan's disciple, Lu Ping could sense that the relationship between the Chong Hua Sect and the Alchemy Pavilion was not harmonious. Now that Second Senior Sister had said this, could it be that the Alchemy Pavilion was going to have some problems?
However, Lu Ping did not care too much about this. He had the Inheritance Token, so no matter what, the people of the Alchemy Pavilion could not stop him. Lu Ping did not believe that Tianlu Laozu would personally make things difficult for him when the time came. At the very least, when Second Senior Sister mentioned Tianlu Laozu, her expression was quite respectful.
Lu Ping originally planned to go to the Refining Hall which was closer to the Chong Hua Sect. However, he remembered that the Sect would give every new Enlightened Master a chance to enter the Inheritance Grounds, so he went to the Heaven's Spirit Hall which was closer to the Chong Hua Sect.
There was naturally more than one Inheritance Grounds for Zhenling!
After so many years, the Enlightened Master of the Heaven's Spirit Hall was still Enlightened Master Profound Miao. When Lu Ping entered the Heaven's Spirit Hall, he saw Enlightened Master Profound Miao flipping through a paper book with great interest. When he saw Lu Ping, he was surprised. The Heaven's Spirit Hall was usually a place for Blood Condensation disciples or disciples who had just entered the Core Forging realm. Unless there was an urgent matter like when the Demon Race attacked the Heaven's Spirit Hall, other Core Forging cultivators would rarely come.
Lu Ping walked forward and explained his purpose. Enlightened Master Profound Miao said with some surprise, "You are Senior Sister Tian Ling's ninth disciple, the Alchemy Grandmaster Lu Xuanping? How come you haven't entered the Inheritance Grounds yet? "
Lu Ping said with some embarrassment, "Disciple traveled outside in my early years. When I came back, my cultivation had already reached this level, but I didn't know that the Sect had such a rule. My other friends thought that I had already been to the Inheritance Grounds because of my cultivation, so they didn't remind me."
Enlightened Master Profound Miao listened to Lu Ping's explanation and smiled, "So there is such a situation. Give me your nameplate."
Lu Ping handed over his nameplate. Enlightened Master Profound Miao scanned it with his divine sense and said, "So you really haven't entered the Inheritance Grounds. Come with me."
The two turned around the back hall and came to a secret room. Enlightened Master Profound Miao struck a few spells on the ground. The dark secret room suddenly lit up and a huge teleportation array rose from the ground.
Enlightened Master Profound Miao turned to Lu Ping and said, "Through the teleportation array, you can be sent to our Sect's Flying Cloud Grotto. That is the Inheritance Grounds of our Sect's Core Forging Stage cultivators for tens of thousands of years. There are many cultivation methods, spells, and even divine abilities passed down by our predecessors. There are also all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge. You can stay there for a month. How much you can gain will depend on your comprehension. Remember, don't bite off more than you can chew. Only the most suitable for you is the best."
Lu Ping sincerely bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle!"
Enlightened Master Profound Miao nodded and suddenly thought of something. He said, "I heard that you have mastered several powerful minor swordsmanship abilities?"
Lu Ping was about to walk towards the teleportation array when he heard this. He didn't expect that his reputation in the sect was already so high. He said, "Junior has indeed mastered a few minor swordsmanship abilities. What advice does Martial Uncle have for me?"
Enlightened Master Profound Miao said, "If you want to stay in the Inheritance Grotto for a month, you can leave one or two of your minor swordsmanship inheritances there. This can also be considered a way for our sect to pass on its legacy. Of course, whether or not you want to leave an inheritance is entirely up to the cultivator. The sect won't force you."
Lu Ping nodded and walked to the center of the teleportation array. Enlightened Master Profound Miao activated the array and Lu Ping disappeared from the secret room in an instant.
The Flying Clouds Grotto was not a very high-class Grotto. Its only advantage was that it was big but extremely short. The terrain inside the Grotto was rugged, with strange peaks and dangerous mountains everywhere. Cultivators could explore the Grotto in a secluded and mysterious place. No wonder Zhen Ling Sect built the inheritance ground for Core Forging cultivators here.
Lu Ping appeared on top of a small hill in the Soaring Clouds Grotto. Looking at such a wide yet short space, Lu Ping felt a bit uncomfortable. There were spirit energy fluctuations from restriction formations everywhere. Clearly, they were set up by the previous cultivators to protect their inheritances. Lu Ping spread out his divine sense but didn't find anything.
It seemed that he had to break the restrictions again and again in order to see the inheritances. Even if he continuously broke the restrictions in one month, how many inheritances would he be able to open? And how many inheritances would be suitable for him?
