Liu Tianling Laozu was silent for a while in the training room. Then, he said, "What are your plans after leaving Frost Island this time?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "I don't have a clear plan. I just want to travel around and see the vastness of the cultivation world!"
Liu Tianling Laozu thought for a while and said, "Do you know about longevity pills?"
Lu Ping was startled. Then, he heard his teacher continue, "Back then, Teacher caused a huge disaster. Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Sheng Laozu and five other Laozu came to attack. Our sect's six Laozu protected him with all their strength. Although they managed to repel Xuan Ling Sect's attack, and because of that, our sect was able to stand on equal footing with Xuan Ling Sect, Uncle-Master Laozu was severely injured in that battle. He was originally our sect's most promising mid Dharma adept, but his cultivation level was stagnant for more than fifty years. His lifespan was greatly reduced, and he was on the verge of passing away. Although Uncle-Master Fornax and the others tried their best to save him and obtained a few recipes for three to five years of longevity pills, it was to no avail. You are my only alchemist master. If you have the ability in the future, you must repay this favor on behalf of Teacher."
When Lu Ping was in the East Sea, he had exchanged three thousand years of spirit grass from Goddess Sun for two kinds of longevity pill recipes. One was five years, and the other was ten years. The creation of longevity pills might not be the most difficult in the alchemist world, but it was the most precious. Who didn't want to prolong their lifespan in this world?
Every kind of longevity pill was no less than a half step to the Dharma adept level. For a recipe like the ten years longevity pill, it was equivalent to a Dharma adept level pill. This was a realm that only alchemists could touch.
Teacher had never instructed Lu Ping to do something so seriously. Lu Ping could naturally tell the importance of the matter from his teacher's words, so he said, "I will remember it. In the future, when I have the ability, I will definitely make longevity pills for Uncle-Master Tian Kang."
In the cave on Tianling Mountain, Spiritual Master Xuan Shu and the others were still seated.
Hearing the words of Spiritual Master Xuanchang and the others, Spiritual Master Xuanshu gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "What kind of foresight is this? We are all disciples of Zhen Ling Sect after all, and we have made this sect our home for hundreds of years. We have seen many of our family and friends grow old and die. The only thing left in our hearts is the spiritual pillar of the sect. When I was young, I couldn't stand Senior Sister Tian Ling's arrogance. Senior Brother Tian Lin may be inactive, but his scheming nature is just as good. He only stood behind Senior Sister Tian Ling. Before they reached the Dharma stage, even the Dharma Ancestors of our sect did not dare to underestimate them. Now, it seems that these two are indeed very talented. Senior Brother Tian Lin is one thing, but even Senior Sister Tian Ling managed to catch up and defeat Feng Xuzao. These two may not get along on the surface, but they support each other secretly. The disciples of the sect are like a family. Now, even the teachers have to give them face. "
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing was shocked and said, "Even Uncle-Master Tian Fan … How is that possible?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Shu smiled and said, "Now I finally understand why Martial Uncle Tian Xiang valued these two so much. Sixty years ago, because of Junior Martial Sister Xuanqin, Senior Martial Brother Tian Lin and Senior Martial Sister Tian Ling had a falling out. Senior Martial Sister Tian Ling madly chased after Senior Martial Brother Tian Lin for eight whole years, from the North Sea to the East Sea, then to the South Sea, and then back to the North Sea again. "But every time one of them fell into a trap, the other would come to their rescue. The two of them worked together to kill twenty-seven Core Forging cultivators in the North Sea, and more than half of them were in the late stage. Senior Brother Tian Lin held back a little. As long as they escaped, he didn't chase after them. But Senior Sister Tian Ling killed every single one of them. Back then, all the Core Forging cultivators in the North Sea were terrified."
Daoist Master Xuan He and Daoist Master Xuan Qing were stunned by Daoist Master Xuan Shu's words, but their faces were flushed. Obviously, they were also excited by Jiang Tianlin and Liu Tianling's killing methods. Daoist Master Xuan Chang was silent. Obviously, he had some understanding of what happened in the past, but his eyes flashed with surprise from time to time. He didn't know why Daoist Master Xuan Shu knew so much about it.
"Xuan Ling Sect was the sect that schemed against us the most in North Sea, and this time was naturally no exception. The cultivators who schemed against them the most were also from Xuan Ling Sect, and the ones who were killed the most were also from Xuan Ling Sect. In the end, Xuan Ling Sect's Avatar Laozu was forced to break North Sea's rules and interfere in the dark."
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan Qing's expressions changed. Spiritual Master Xuan Chang seemed to have thought of something, and he hesitated for a moment before he said with slight uncertainty, "Could it be Dao Kong Laozu?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan He cried out at the same time, "Impossible, didn't Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Kong Laozu die fifty years ago? Yes, fifty years ago …"
"He was heavily injured and died while exploring the ruins of an ancient cultivator, right?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan He looked at Spiritual Master Xuan Shu's mocking gaze and nodded numbly. Then, they heard Spiritual Master Xuan Shu's faint voice travel into their ears. "You should have figured it out by now, right? Dao Kong Laozu died under the joint efforts of Senior Brother Tian Ling and Senior Sister Tian Ling. "Dao Kong Laozu might have used a Secret Art to form his Avatar after he reached the sixth level of Golden Core, and he's the weakest among the Avatar Laozu, but he's still not someone a cultivator in the later stage of the Core Forging Realm like us can hope to fight against." But this couple worked together, and one of them was in the ninth level of the Core Forging Realm, while the other was in the eighth level of the Core Forging Realm, and they managed to kill Dao Kong Laozu. Just what sort of power was that? "
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan He's hearts trembled, and they could not say anything. Spiritual Master Xuan Chang asked, "Then how did this matter end in the end?"
"The death of a sect's Dao Kong Laozu was an incredibly shocking matter. Xuan Ling Sect originally had six Dao Kong Laozu, and now, one of them died. Dao Sheng Laozu personally went out and wanted to kill him to vent his anger, but against everyone's expectations, Sect Uncle Tian Xiang stood his ground and led the six Dao Kong Laozu from Heaven River Sect, Heaven Furnace Sect, and Heaven Peace Sect to protect the two of them, even though they were heavily injured. They looked as if they were willing to go to war because of this."
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang said in shock, "Fifty years ago, Heaven Spirit Mountain's Sect Protection Rune was activated at full power, but in the end, it was a false alarm. So it was because of this?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Qing and Spiritual Master Xuan Qing looked as if they had come to a realization. Clearly, they had also experienced this at that time.
Spiritual Master Xuan Shu nodded and said, "How was it a false alarm? At that time, Xuan Ling Sect was the true number one sect in the North Sea, and Dao Sheng Laozu was the only late Dharma adept in the North Sea. Even though Xuan Ling Sect had lost one Laozu, they still did not take our sect seriously. So, the two strongest sects in the North Sea, the eleven Laozu, fought a great battle on the North Sea. "
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang thought about it and said, "At that time, our sect was already showing signs of rising. Although the six Laozu's did not have late Dharma adepts like Dao Sheng Laozu, they were already on par with Xuan Ling Sect in terms of numbers. Dao Sheng Laozu's attack this time was probably to use Dao Kong Laozu's death to suppress our sect with all his might."
Spiritual Master Xuan Shu nodded, and then his face glowed as he said, "Unfortunately, he miscalculated. That battle was also the battle that truly made Teacher and Mistress famous in the North Sea. Before this, although the 'Wind and Snow Deities' were quite famous, that was only because Teacher and Mistress were mid Dharma adepts. However, after that battle, Teacher and Mistress used the secret combo technique that was passed down through the generations of our sect and actually managed to hold off Dao Sheng Laozu, a late Dharma adept. Although they were at a disadvantage, they still managed to hold off Dao Sheng. It was also after that battle that our sect began to be mentioned in the same breath as Xuan Ling Sect in the North Sea, and the 'Wind and Snow Deities' truly became famous in the North Sea. "
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang seemed to have sorted out the many things that had happened in the past, and he asked, "Then was my teacher also …"
Spiritual Master Xuan Shu nodded, sighed, and said, "Although Teacher and Mistress barely managed to hold off Dao Sheng Laozu, Uncle-Master Tianxiang naturally had the upper hand in the battle against a mid Dharma adept from Xuan Ling Sect. Uncle-Master Tianjiang and Tianlu also held off two early Dharma adepts from Xuan Ling Sect. Only Uncle-Master Tiankang's level of practice had already reached the peak of the early Dharma stage, and at that time, he was the fourth most powerful adept in the sect, and also the most promising adept to advance to the mid Dharma stage. Hence, he was tasked to hold off the other mid Core Forging adept from Xuan Ling Sect, Laozu. Unfortunately, Uncle-Master Tiankang was ultimately no match for a mid Dharma adept, and after being severely injured, he did not hesitate to use a secret technique and expended his lifespan to force the mid Dharma adept from Xuan Ling Sect to retreat. However, in the past 60 years, his level of practice has not improved at all. Although he has managed to hold on, his lifespan is running out, and he is not far from passing away. "
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang remained silent. Spiritual Master Xuan Shu looked at him and continued, "This is also the reason why you resent the two of them. Because of this, the two of us and Uncle-Master Tianlu's disciples secretly added fuel to the fire, pushing Senior Sister Tian Ling down from her position as an attendant, which was equivalent to the head of our sect. Then, we supported the cautious and modest Senior Brother Guo Xuanshan. Although Senior Brother Guo Xuanshan was also fair in his dealings, and when the world of practice was calm, he was naturally able to ensure the smooth development of our sect. However, now that the world of practice is about to undergo a great change, and our sect is in the midst of forging ahead, perhaps Senior Sister Tian Ling was originally the most suitable candidate."
Spiritual Master Xuan Chang smiled bitterly and said, "What happened back then, in the end, we were still in the wrong?"
Enlightened Master Xuan Shu said a little sadly, "It's not that we're wrong, it's just that we're too narrow-minded, we don't see far enough. This is also the reason why even Senior Martial Brother Liang Xuanfeng, who was most in love with Junior Martial Sister Xuanqin, didn't approve of what we did."
"That's right!" Spiritual Master Xuanchang recalled the events of the past and said, "Senior Sister Tian Ling pursued Senior Brother Tianlin for eight years, and our sect became the laughingstock of all the sects in the North Sea. According to common sense, she should have lost her position as the sect's deacon, but Guo Xuanshan, Li Xuanyin, Qu Xuancheng, Liang Xuanfeng, and a few other disciples with the most weight in the sect all unanimously objected to replacing Senior Sister Tian Ling as the sect's deacon. Originally, the sect didn't mention this matter to anyone, and it would have been fine, but we just had to bring it up. Senior Brother Guo Xuanshan had no choice but to take over the sect's deacon position."
At this time, Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan's face was gloomy, and he was looking at a corpse in the sea with Zhenling and a few other Core Forging Stage cultivators. It was Spiritual Master Xuan Ying, who had already died.
A Core Forging Stage cultivator stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Guo, it's a monster!"
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan frowned and said, "It's really a monster. Didn't you find anything else? Although the inner sea of the North Sea is not impregnable, it's impossible for a monster cultivator in human form to sneak into our sect's inner sea. After Senior Sister Tian Ling's Dharma Manifestation Assembly, she set up many warning mechanisms in the North Sea. How can a monster cultivator just come in like that? "
If Lu Ping was here, he would recognize this Zhenling cultivator who reported to Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan. It was Spiritual Master Cao, whom Lu Ping had met in the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven years ago, and who had taken good care of him.
Spiritual Master Cao smiled helplessly and said, "Not only is it a monster cultivator, there are three of them, and their cultivation is not high. It seems that they have just entered the Core Forging Stage, and their control of their True Essence is not good enough, but their attacks are fierce. Martial Niece Xuan Ying has been practicing array formations with Senior Sister Xuanchen for many years. Although she is weak, her defense should not be too bad, but these three monsters easily broke through her defense and killed her."
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan's face was as gloomy as water. He said, "Can you determine what kind of monster did it?"
Spiritual Master Cao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. It seems that the monster cultivators are more likely to be snakes, but it is only a possibility. Besides, snakes are the most widely distributed among the overseas monster cultivators, and there are many kinds of them, so it is difficult to investigate."
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan said fiercely, "Investigate! First investigate the Core Forging Stage cultivators of our sect, and then investigate the cultivators above the Core Forging Stage in the sect's territory. See who has a Core Forging Stage monster pet, especially a snake type monster pet. Early-stage Core Forging Stage, especially a monster pet that has just entered the Core Forging Stage. Since fifty years ago, no one has dared to kill our Core Forging Stage cultivators in our sect's territory. They seem to have forgotten why our sect is able to establish a foothold in the North Sea. "
A murderous aura erupted from Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan's body. Next to him, Spiritual Master Cao, who had been wandering in the dark side of Zhenling all year round, also shivered, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
One of the most terrifying things in this world was an honest person getting angry. That was a kind of stubbornness that would not stop until one side was dead!
Spiritual Master Cao suddenly remembered the legend of some of the high-level cultivators of his sect. That incident fifty years ago, Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan also gained his fame by killing the corpses of Core Forging Stage cultivators from various sects!
Lu Ping had been away from Frost Island for more than a year. As soon as he came down from the teleportation array, he saw Hu Lili rushing towards the teleportation array.
When Lu Ping saw that although Hu Lili's expression was trying to remain calm, her panicked footsteps seemed to be avoiding something. Lu Ping's heart sank.
At this time, Hu Lili raised her head and saw Lu Ping walking down the teleportation array. Joy immediately appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by melancholy.
Looks like something really happened!
Lu Ping walked up and chuckled, "I didn't think you'd still remember that today is the day I return. You're so accurate with your timing!"
Hu Lili was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly understood. No matter what had happened, if she left in a hurry, she would definitely leave a trace of suspicion. She was a disciple of Zhen Ling Sect, where could she hide? It was not like she could betray the sect. If she stayed in Tian Ling Mountain with a clear conscience, she would not attract any attention.
Hu Lili immediately forced a smile and said, "I was commanding the Amethyst Wasps to take advantage of the spiritual herb gardens of the various clans on Heaven's Spirit Mountain. I almost forgot that you're returning to Heaven's Spirit Mountain today."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards Lu Ping's dwelling on Heaven's Spirit Mountain. However, they did not notice that a person had walked out from the Heaven's Spirit Hall in front of the teleportation array. He looked at the direction the two of them had left in and seemed to be thinking. However, he then shook his head and continued to hide behind the door of Heaven's Spirit Mountain. When Lu Ping saw Hu Lili's strange expression earlier, he had used his soul sense to scan the surroundings of the teleportation array. However, he did not discover that there was actually a person hiding in Heaven's Spirit Mountain nearby.
