After millions of years of brewing, the inaccessible Frost Island had become a veritable treasure island. It had brought more and more surprises to the ten great sects.
After Zhenling found another small spirit vein in the outskirts of Frost Island, another piece of news came. Zhenling had unearthed a small ice attribute spirit material mine in the layer of ice behind the small spirit vein.
Of course, Zhenling was not the only one who had found something. The other nine great sects had also made some surprising discoveries during their exploration of Frost Island, especially the Water Mist Pavilion.
The Water Mist Pavilion's cultivation method was unique in the North Sea. Most of the cultivators in the sect cultivated water and ice attribute arts. Some of the cultivators who cultivated ice attribute arts had some unique divine arts that were suitable to be used in the environment of Frost Island. They were very useful in searching for treasures hidden in the layer of ice on Frost Island.
Therefore, although the Water Mist Pavilion didn't find a spirit vein like Zhen Ling Sect did, they did find a spirit material mine. There was even news that the Water Mist Pavilion found an ice lake from tens of millions of years ago under a layer of ice in a region of Frost Island, and they obtained an earth rank spirit item of the ice attribute from it.
Although the various sects did not know what the Water Mist Pavilion had obtained, when they saw the smiling face of the Water Mist Pavilion's Cang Li Laozu, no longer having the gloominess from Shui Wuhuan's matter, many cultivators secretly guessed that the Water Mist Pavilion had obtained a high grade earth rank natural treasure.
When Spiritual Master Xuan Sen and Spiritual Master Enigma Flame followed Liu Tianling and Laozu down the icy tunnel under Lu Ping's lead, they arrived at the space where Lu Ping had sealed the Profound Ice Fiend. Spiritual Master Xuan Sen looked at the thick black mist in front of him and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He said happily, "This thick Profound Ice Fiend is enough for seven or eight of our sect's ice attribute disciples to condense protective energy. Moreover, this Profound Ice Fiend is one of the best ice attribute natural treasures that can be used to condense protective energy. This time, many of our sect's disciples will owe you a favor."
Through Chen Lian, Sage Enigma Flame had more or less gained some understanding of Lu Ping. Hearing Sage Xuan Sen, who was famous within the sect for his honesty, praising Lu Ping, Sage Enigma Flame involuntarily pursed his lips and thought to himself, To think that this kid could discover such a remote place. Who knows how big of a scheme is hidden here. Judging by the looks of it, this tunnel is not newly opened. This kid must have taken quite a lot of the benefits inside. He probably felt that there were too many benefits for him to take alone. That is why he reported it to the sect. However, we should not let the goodies flow into the fields of outsiders. It seems this kid also has the sect in his heart. If there are a few more disciples like him, our sect will be blessed.
Lu Ping did not know that Sage Enigma Flame had secretly seen through his thoughts. However, he was not afraid of others suspecting that he had taken the benefits beforehand. Since Lu Ping was the one who discovered it, first come, first served was the rule of the world of cultivation. At any rate, Lu Ping would not be able to take all of the benefits. He could only leave it for the sect. Lu Ping was simply trying his best to take the best.
As such, while Lu Ping had the strength to stand out from the rest of the sect, the sect as a whole was also improving. In order for Lu Ping to move unhindered through the world of cultivation, a powerful Zhenling would be his firm backing and source of confidence. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.
Hearing Sage Enigma Flame's praise, Lu Ping said modestly, "You flatter me, Martial Uncle. If not for our sect's prestige suppressing this Frost Island, this disciple would not have the chance to wander around aimlessly and coincidentally stumble upon this place, no?"
Sage Enigma Flame nodded his head in satisfaction. Naturally, he did not know that one third of the thick clump of Mystical Ice Fiend Qi had already been collected by Lu Ping. Otherwise, how could the clump of Mystical Ice Fiend Qi only be enough for seven to eight people to condense their protective astral energy? Additionally, when he found the clump of malevolent energy, he also found a mid-grade Mystic-ranked, ice-type spiritual object!
Before entering the ice room, Sage Enigma Flame had also seen the spirit material mine. As one of the few master artificers in Zhenling, Sage Enigma Flame had a unique eye for things. After inspecting it for a moment, he nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Not bad. Although it is a small, miscellaneous spirit material mine, the quality is acceptable. It is much better compared to the Spirit Ashen Soil mine that you and Chen Lian found."
Lu Ping gave an embarrassed smile. That Spirit Ashen Soil mine had helped Lu Ping and Chen Lian quite a lot when they were still at the Blood Refining and Blood Condensation Realms respectively. That was especially true for Chen Lian. Most of the spirit stones that the two of them used for their cultivation were exchanged using the Spirit Ashen Soil refined from the mine. After that, they used the Spirit Ashen Soil to exchange for other cultivation resources. It was only after the two of them had advanced to the Core Forging Realm did they hand over the mine to the sect.
Inside the ice room, Sage Enigma Flame was bustling with excitement and nervousness. Seeing Liu Tianling, Laozu and the others enter the ice room, Sage Enigma Flame did not bother to greet them. Instead, he excitedly said, "Martial Uncles, Martial Uncles, a mid-grade spirit mine! There really is a mid-grade spirit mine here! This time, the heavens have truly blessed our sect. Our Zhenling Sect will be able to occupy a mid-grade spirit mine by ourselves!"
Sage Enigma Flame and Sage Enigma Flame were overjoyed when they heard that. They said, "Is that true? This news is no less than the discovery of a large-grade spirit mine on Frost Island. This mid-grade spirit mine must be kept a secret. Our sect must monopolize it and not give other sects any chance, just like how Xuan Ling Sect occupied the spirit mine on Giant Spirit Island back then. "
When Sage Enigma Flame saw that the two seniors of his sect seemed to be even more excited than him, he hesitantly said, "However, the nurturing of this spirit mine seems to be a little strange. This disciple discovered that there are very few high-grade spirit stones appearing near the surface of the mine. There are only high-grade spirit stones after a few dozen meters deep. However, in terms of the total amount of spirit mine, this is indeed a mid-grade spirit mine."
Lu Ping cursed inwardly. This Dabao told him to only take high-grade spirit stones, but he was actually thinking of ways to be lazy. He only took all the high-grade spirit stones near the surface and revealed such a big flaw.
At this moment, Lu Ping happened to see his teacher, Liu Tianling, Laozu, glancing at him with a faint smile. Lu Ping's expression quickly changed. He put on an expression of "how could this be?" as he listened to Sage Enigma Flame's words.
Sage Enigma Flame waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "To be able to obtain a mid-grade spirit mine is already a Heavenly blessing. A mid-grade spirit mine does not produce many high-grade spirit stones to begin with. It is only normal for there to be less of them. Right now, the key issue is how to activate the Great Vein Suppression Spirit Lock Array without the other sects knowing and seal up this mid-grade spirit mine. Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before the other sects discover the existence of this spirit mine."
Sage Enigma Flame's words caused Lu Ping and the others to frown. Once the "Spirit Lock Formation" was activated, it would cause a great commotion. The entire Frost Island would notice it. When that happens, the news of this spirit mine would be exposed.
Just as everyone was feeling helpless, they heard Liu Tianling, Laozu, say, "How many Ice Asura remnants have we discovered in the areas our sect has conquered?"
Sage Enigma Flame's eyes lit up. He said, "So Senior Sister had such a plan when you didn't allow the disciples to encircle the Ice Asura. Currently, we have discovered more than twenty Ice Asuras. However, most of them are only at the Blood Condensation Realm. Only three have reached the Core Forging Realm. "
Liu Tianling, Laozu, nodded and said, "Although it's not much, it's barely enough. Junior Brother Enigma, please put in more effort and use some methods to drive these Ice Asuras here. Then, kill them with lightning speed. Activate the Spirit Lock Formation to guide the spirit mine under our sect's control. At the same time, activate the" Spirit Lock Formation ". With the first two concealment methods, the cultivators of Frost Island should not be able to discover anything."
On the second day, while Zhenling was guiding the spirit mine, the new encampment was suddenly attacked by the Ice Asura remnants. Zhenling, Sage Enigma Flame and Sage Enigma Flame worked together to kill them. On this day, the entire Frost Island was filled with rumbling noises. As the earth trembled, Zhenling quietly activated the "Spirit Lock Formation". A mid-sized spirit mine was already in his hands.
At this time, Lu Ping was pulling a storage pouch from the pitiful Dabao's neck. He patted its head and said, "You're usually smart, why did you reveal such a big flaw in the spirit mine? I think you're just too lazy to go deeper underground!"
Dabao evaded Lu Ping's demonic palm while squeaking and protesting loudly, "If it wasn't for this rat not going deeper underground and saving magic power and time, how could I have collected so many high-grade spirit stones?"
Lu Ping shook the storage pouch downwards. With a "crash", a pile of high-grade spirit stones appeared in front of Lu Ping. Lu Ping's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "So many? No wonder Sage Enigma Flame almost didn't dare to believe that this was a mid-sized spirit mine. So the high-grade spirit stones on the surface were all collected by you. Dabao, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're a little too greedy! "
Dabao simply used its two almost invisible forelimbs to drag a high-grade spirit stone under its stomach. Then, it lay on the ground and closed its eyes to sleep.
Lu Ping beamed with joy as he put the one hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones into his storage ring. Then, he looked at Dabao who was pretending to sleep and said, "Aren't you bored?"
Lu Ping was in urgent need of high-grade spirit stones to assist in his cultivation. After advancing to the middle stage of Core Forging, the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique" that Lu Ping originally cultivated was a cultivation technique that focused on the cultivation foundation and sacrificed cultivation speed. Coincidentally, when Lu Ping advanced to the middle stage of Core Forging, he smelted the Profound Essence Heavy Water. This kind of heaven-grade spirit object gave Lu Ping a more vigorous Zhen Yuan and tyrannical strength. At the same time, it also caused Lu Ping's cultivation speed to greatly slow down. If this continued, without ten or twenty years of effort, perhaps Lu Ping wouldn't even have enough Zhen Yuan to reach the fifth layer of Core Forging.
As a result, he could only work on cultivation resources. High-grade spirit stones were originally used by late stage Core Forging cultivators to cultivate. However, at this time, with the Zhen Yuan in Lu Ping's body, using high-grade spirit stones to cultivate would not be a waste.
The slow cultivation speed was also one of the reasons why Lu Ping opened up Huang Li Island. Although Lu Ping had not yet advanced to the middle stage of Core Forging, he had already noticed that Lu Ping's cultivation speed was gradually slowing down because of the "North Sea Wave Listening Technique". This was also the reason why he collected spirit veins from all over the place and moved them to Huang Li Island.
Unfortunately, Lu Ping originally wanted to move the small spirit vein that he found in the mid-sized spirit vein to Huang Li Island. Then, he would report the matter of the mid-sized spirit vein to Master Yu. However, now he didn't have the opportunity to do so.
