It wasn't easy for him to find an excuse to send his envious friends away. Then, he asked Lu Qin to bring his junior martial sister, Jiang Xuanxuan, to the island to help Zhang Zicheng and the others exterminate the monsters. Only then did Lu Ping release the three spirits. This time, the three spirits transformed back into human bodies and snake tails, looking like eight or nine years old children.
Lu Ping's face darkened, "What happened? Why are you the only ones back? Where's Da Gui?"
Samling looked at each other. Finally, Lu Bi said, "Da Gui was prepared to escape, but two unfamiliar Core Forging Enlightened Masters came to Enlightened Mo Wei's cave today. I don't know what they discussed, but Enlightened Mo Wei's only subordinate, Enlightened Master Lu Hai, who was at the sixth layer of Core Forging, was sent out. Before Enlightened Master Lu Hai left, he took a team of Demon Generals. Da Gui was among them, and he was sent away as Enlightened Master Lu Hai's mount."
Lu Ping's expression didn't change, but he was secretly praising his good luck. If Enlightened Master Lu Hai was here, even he wouldn't be able to stop him. At that time, it would be hard to say whether Huang Li Island could be defended or not.
Lu Ping thought for a while and asked again, "Do you know where they went? Where did those two unfamiliar Core Forging Enlightened Masters come from? "
Lu Bi shook her head, "I don't know. Enlightened Master Mo Wei's subordinates don't know either. Originally, when Father attacked Huang Li Island, those two unfamiliar Enlightened Masters didn't come with Enlightened Master Mo Wei. It wasn't until Enlightened Master Mo Wei's subordinates failed that the two Enlightened Masters came to help. As for Enlightened Master Lu Hai, he headed east, as if returning to the demon race's rear. "
Lu Ping placed the Golden House on top of the spirit vein and placed the three spirits into the space. The three spirits had been at the Peak Blood Condensation Realm for a few years now, and now, they were close to breaking through to the Core Forging Realm. Not to mention, Huang Li Island had just been conquered. Yao Yong and the others had their own tasks in the sect and would have to leave soon. The sect wouldn't keep so many elite cultivators in one place for a long period of time. This would be a perfect opportunity for the enemy to wipe them all out in one go. Once these friends left, Huang Li Island would be left defenseless.
Zhen Ling Sect launched a massive counterattack against the monster race. "Water Sword Immortal" consecutively injured a Fourth Layer Core Forging Realm cultivator and a Fifth Layer Core Forging Realm monster cultivator. This news once again shocked the entire North Sea. In the North Sea Rookie List, Lu Ping's ranking rose to 20th place. Ouyang Weijian, who had mastered a great sword technique after entering the Mid Core Forging Realm, was once again left behind by Lu Ping.
Yao Yong, Chen Lian, and the others also rose in the Rookie List because of this operation. This made Yao Yong very excited. He even said that the injuries he suffered were worth it.
Of course, the most eye-catching one was Jiang Xuanxuan. By defeating a fourth layer Core Forging Realm cultivator, Jiang Xuanxuan, who was a second layer Core Forging Realm cultivator, climbed to the Rookie List. Of course, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was Jiang Xuanxuan's dazzling identity: Zhenling was the daughter of two new Dharma Phase cultivators, Laozu, Jiang Tianlin and Liu Tianling. She was one of the princes in the North Sea's cultivation world.
Hu Lili only fainted for a day before she woke up. Her cultivation also gradually began to recover. However, if she wanted to completely recover, it would take at least a year or two. Moreover, she had damaged her vitality this time, so it would be somewhat difficult for her to cultivate in the future.
After Hu Lili woke up, she began to instruct her junior sisters to set up a teleportation array connecting Xuan Qi Island and Di Kun Island. With the teleportation array, if Huang Li Island was attacked by the Demon Race, the high-level cultivators of Zhenling would be able to quickly rush over through the teleportation array. However, before this, none of the islands under Zhenling's jurisdiction had the authority to set up a teleportation array. The main reason was that the cost of setting up a teleportation array was too high. However, Lu Ping didn't care. Firstly, he didn't lack such things. Secondly, Huang Li Island's location was extremely important. It would definitely attract a large number of cultivators to hunt demon beasts. Not only would it strengthen Huang Li Island's defense, but it would also gather a large amount of cultivation resources. At that time, Lu Ping naturally wouldn't have to worry about the cost of setting up a teleportation array.
A few days later, Yao Yong and the others took their leave. Because Chen Lian was stationed on Xuan Qi Island with Master Qu Xuancheng, which was not far from Huang Li Island, he decided to stay for a few more days just in case. Hu Lili was also sent back to Tian Ling Mountain by Lu Ping to recuperate.
Originally, Hu Lili wanted to stay and guard Huang Li Island with Lu Ping. However, because of her serious injuries, Hu Lili knew that she wouldn't be of much help here for the time being. Once the Demon Race attacked, she would become a burden. Lu Ping was also afraid that if the Demon Race attacked, he would have no time to take care of Hu Lili. Therefore, he agreed to let her return to Tian Ling Mountain for the time being.
In a short moment, he was the only one left on the huge Huang Li Island. Fortunately, Lu Ping had set up the Teleportation Array. One after another, courageous cultivators came to Huang Li Island. The position of Huang Li Island was like a thorn in the flesh of the Demon Race. Although it was surrounded by danger, it was also full of opportunities. In the eyes of the human cultivators, those demon beasts were piles of cultivation resources. Wealth comes with danger. No one could understand the meaning of this sentence better than the cultivators in the cultivation world.
As the number of people on Huang Li Island increased, the order on the island became chaotic. Although there was Lu Ping, a famous Core Forging Stage cultivator, guarding the island, the cultivators on the island didn't dare to be too presumptuous. However, the cultivators who came to Huang Li Island all had their own strength. It could be said that there were conflicts on Huang Li Island every day.
Lu Ping didn't have the patience to care about this. At this moment, he regretted sending Hu Lili back to Tian Ling Mountain. If Hu Lili was here, he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all. Everything would have already been arranged in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, when Lu Ping sent his Junior Martial Sister Jiang Xuanxuan away, he left Lu Qin behind. Therefore, Lu Ping let Lu Qin patrol the entire island on his behalf.
Lu Ping's original intention was to let Lu Qin use her Core Forging Stage cultivation to intimidate these troublesome cultivators. He didn't expect that Lu Qin was someone who wanted to see the world in chaos. Whenever there was a conflict or a fight, she would go up and beat them up. These were only Blood Condensation Stage cultivators. How could they be a match for her, a Core Forging Stage demonic cultivator who had unlocked her inherited memories? Although Lu Qin held back, there were still at least three to five cultivators who were severely injured by her every day.
Helpless, Lu Ping still had to treat them. At the same time, out of guilt, Lu Ping also gave these injured cultivators some benefits. Unexpectedly, after the cultivators treated by Lu Ping consumed Lu Ping's pills, not only did their injuries recover quickly, but their cultivation also increased by different degrees. When the news spread, everyone remembered that the famous "Water Sword Immortal" was not only a godly swordsman, but also a master of alchemy.
With this, the number of troublemakers on Huang Li Island suddenly increased. Some people even deliberately stood in front of Lu Qin and scolded her as a "brat". How could Lu Qin-er stand it? Naturally, she taught these people a lesson. In the end, Lu Ping had no choice but to clean up the situation.
However, Lu Ping immediately noticed the intentions of these cultivators. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stopped treating these cultivators. At the same time, he ordered Lu Qin-er to not go overboard.
With a Core Forging Stage cultivator dealing with these Blood Condensation Stage Minor Repairs, Lu Qin naturally had a way to deal with them. In a short period of time, the restless cultivators on the island cried for their mommy and daddy, but they didn't suffer a single injury. As a result, Huang Li Island became much quieter. However, Lu Qin-er herself started to enjoy these things. Many cultivators couldn't stand being teased by Lu Qin-er again and again and started to leave Huang Li Island.
Lu Ping knew that Lu Qin had a childish temper. He realized that letting her manage Huang Li Island for him was a mistake, so he threw her into the House of Gold to cultivate.
Fortunately, the cultivators who stayed on Huang Li Island to explore the sea would often return with great rewards in the process of hunting demonic beasts. When the news spread, although many cultivators were scared away by Lu Qin-er, more and more cultivators started to swarm into Huang Li Island. They used Huang Li Island as a transit island for hunting demonic beasts.
The demonic beasts also tried to regroup and reoccupy Huang Li Island. However, with the combined efforts of Lu Ping and the cultivators on the island, they managed to block off the demonic beasts' attacks with the help of the island's protective array. Several Core Forging Stage cultivators under Enlightened Mo Wei also tried to attack Huang Li Island, but they couldn't break through the island's protective array. Soon after, they were repelled by the Core Forging Stage cultivators who came to reinforce them through the teleportation array.
As time went by, Huang Li Island's sturdy defenses attracted more and more cultivators from the North Sea to Huang Li Island. Lu Ping had no choice but to request for help from the sect. He deployed two teams of Blood Condensation cultivators, a total of twelve people, to maintain order on Huang Li Island.
Accompanying the two teams of Blood Condensation cultivators was a familiar face. This person was Fang Tao, the one who helped Lu Ping manage his shop on Huang Li Island.
Fang Tao returned to the Fang Clan after the Demonic Beast Wave and the fall of Huang Li Island. A few years later, when he heard that Lu Ping had returned to Zhenling, Fang Tao went to Tian Ling Mountain to pay his respects. However, he didn't expect that Lu Ping was in secluded cultivation, and Tian Ling Mountain wasn't a place that cultivators from the peripheral clans of Zhenling like him could enter.
When he heard that Lu Ping had reclaimed Huang Li Island, Fang Tao was overjoyed and went to Huang Li Island again. Lu Ping was troubled by the fact that he didn't have any familiar people to help him. Fang Tao's arrival made Lu Ping quite happy.
Several years had passed, but Fang Tao's cultivation was still stuck at the early stage of Blood Condensation. However, the pair of children behind Fang Tao caught Lu Ping's attention.
Looking at the pair of cautious twins behind Fang Tao, Lu Ping's eyes lit up. He said, "Old Fang, I didn't expect your children to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm in just a few years. They're almost catching up to you now."
Fang Tao was a humble person, but when he heard Lu Ping praising his children, he was quite proud of himself. He said, "Master, you flatter me. It's all thanks to Enlightened Master's guidance and the Blood Condensation Pill for these two brats. Otherwise, how could they have broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm so easily? I'm afraid I won't be able to advance any further in my cultivation in this lifetime. Let's see how far they can go in the future. "
Lu Ping could naturally see through Fang Tao's thoughts. However, Lu Ping was indeed lacking manpower. Fang Tao had worked under him in the past and was an honest and dutiful person. Therefore, Lu Ping didn't mind helping his juniors. He took out two items from his storage ring and said, "It's our first time meeting, and I didn't prepare anything good. These two high-grade mystic instruments were obtained by me in my early years. I don't have any use for them now, so I'll give them to you to protect yourselves."
Fang Wei and Fang Xia looked at the upper-grade magic weapons flying towards them with joy. They hurriedly and respectfully received them with their hands and played with them in their hands, unwilling to let go.
They had long heard that this Enlightened Master Lu Ping was known as the 'Treasure Boy' in his early years in the sect. Now that they saw Lu Ping casually give out two high-grade mystic instruments, it was indeed a well-deserved reputation.
It should be pointed out that an ordinary early-stage Blood Condensation cultivator with two mid-grade mystic instruments was already very impressive. The Fang Clan was a small clan under Zhenling's jurisdiction. Even the clan leader with the highest cultivation in the clan only had one top-grade mystic instrument, and it was even used as a family treasure. Now that Lu Ping had given them two high-grade mystic instruments, how could the two children not be overjoyed? With Fang Wei and Fang Xia's current strength, these two high-grade mystic instruments were enough for them to use until the late-stage Blood Condensation Realm.
Fang Tao had brought his children to visit Lu Ping today, and he naturally had the intention of asking Lu Ping for guidance. However, he only hoped that Lu Ping could casually give him some pointers so that his children would take fewer detours in their cultivation. He never imagined that Lu Ping would give him such a treasure as soon as he made a move.
Putting aside Fang Tao and his son's gratitude towards Lu Ping, Lu Ping himself didn't care about mystic instruments and the like. Over the years, among the spoils of war from the cultivators and beasts that died in his hands, not to mention high-grade mystic instruments, Lu Ping couldn't even be bothered to count the number of top-grade mystic instruments that he had obtained unless they had special uses.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment before saying, "Old Fang, Huang Li Island is considered stable now, but the island's order has yet to be fully established. Originally, this was supposed to be handled by Senior Martial Sister Hu Lili, but she is currently recuperating on Tian Ling Mountain. You should first set up a market on Huang Li Island to facilitate the exchange of goods between cultivators. At the same time, set up a pill dispensary so that cultivators can exchange pills for spirit herbs."
Fang Tao pondered for a moment before saying, "Boss, it's easy for me to set up a market, but I don't have the ability to manage the cultivators on the island. After all, I'm only an early stage Blood Condensation cultivator. I can manage a pill dispensary for Boss, but it's impossible for me to manage a market."
Lu Ping's question was actually to test Fang Tao. After all, they hadn't seen each other for several years, and people could change. However, when Lu Ping saw that Fang Tao wasn't happy about the fact that he had given him the authority to manage Huang Li Island, Lu Ping nodded in satisfaction and said, "You don't have to worry about it, just do your best. I'll send Lu Qin to be your subordinate, and I believe that no one on this island will be stupid enough to harm you. The market doesn't need to be too big, as long as it has a foundation, it'll be fine. Wait for Senior Martial Sister Hu Lili's return, then we'll replan everything. You just need to prepare the pill dispensary first."
After barely managing to maintain the market for more than a year, Hu Lili, who had recovered from her injuries, returned to Huang Li Island. Lu Ping felt as if he had been pardoned from a great sin and handed over everything to Hu Lili. Then, he went into closed-door cultivation in his cave abode.
