Universe Island was a medium-sized island, but its geographical location was extremely special. In the North Sea, Universe Island was at the very center. Among the numerous islands of various sizes in the North Sea, Universe Island was like a chess piece on the Celestial position on a chessboard.
Universe Island's geographical location was special, and its name was not bad. However, it was originally an extremely barren medium-sized island. There was not even a small spirit vein within a radius of a hundred or so kilometers. Spirit ores, spirit materials, and the like were even more lacking.
However, the sects of the North Sea ultimately valued the location of this island. The ten great sects took the lead and each took out a small spirit vein, forming a medium-sized spirit vein that was drawn to the center of Universe Island. Then, they built pavilions and pavilions on Universe Island. Universe Island became the place where the sects of the North Sea discussed matters of the North Sea and coordinated their relationships.
Due to the nourishment of the spirit vein, its special geographical location, and the fact that the sects of the North Sea often quarreled with each other over various matters, Universe Island became more and more prosperous in the North Sea. The ten great sects each divided up their sphere of influence on Universe Island, occupying the majority of the island. The remaining areas were divided among the other powerful sects and clans of the North Sea.
Over time, Universe Island became a neutral zone in the North Sea. Whenever there was a gathering between the various sects, as long as it was not proposed by a single sect, most of them would choose to hold it on Universe Island.
On this particular day, two cultivators, one old and one young, walked out from the teleportation array on Universe Island. After the two of them walked out from the teleportation array, the young cultivator followed behind the old cultivator as they walked towards a palace in the centre of Universe Island.
This palace was built by Zhenling on Universe Island. When Lu Ping followed Fornax Laozu to the entrance of the palace, three large words "Snowmist Palace" were written on the wide inscribed board.
Fornax Laozu paused at the entrance and said, "The other Laozu of our sect who is guarding Universe Island is Tian Xue Laozu of this Snowmist Palace. You should also know that after meeting Senior Sister Tian Xue, you should not speak too much. Just listen. Senior Sister Tian Xue has a strict personality and her words are sharp. Back then, Tianlin and Tianling, the two martial nephews, were lawless and out of control, and were always disciplined and disciplined by Senior Sister Tian Xue. You are the disciple of Tianling, so after meeting her, you should also be careful with your words."
Lu Ping's expression was very strange, but he still nodded his head. Tian Xue Laozu was one of the three mid Dharma Laozu of Zhenling. She was one of the two experts that their sect relied on to fight against Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Sheng Laozu. How would Lu Ping dare to offend this old woman? Now, he was afraid that this Laozu would make things difficult for him because of his teacher.
Who asked him to be a junior, and a junior with low strength at that. If his teacher was here, even if Tian Xue Laozu did not have a good expression on her face, she would at most make a few sarcastic remarks and not make things difficult for him. However, if it was Lu Ping, it might not be the case. After all, he was someone from the same generation as her disciple. How could Tian Xue Laozu possibly put down her face to make things difficult for him? However, this was also hard to say. It was common for these experts to do strange things. Who could say for sure?
Lu Ping was worried about his personal gains and losses. After taking a few steps into the Snow Mist Palace, his mind was already spinning with many thoughts.
Tian Xue Laozu looked to be in her forties. She was still a stunning beauty that still retained some of her charm. However, compared to her teacher who was dressed in palace attire and had a graceful and elegant image, Tian Xue Laozu was dressed in a capable and experienced attire. It was obvious that she had a straightforward character. However, it was unknown why Tianlu Laozu described her as old-fashioned and strict.
Tianlu Laozu stepped forward and smiled, "It's been a few years since we last met. How have you been, Senior Sister?"
"What's good about it?" The moment Tian Xue Laozu opened her mouth, she became very angry, "On this Huan Yu Island, I've been arguing with a bunch of smelly and shameless people every day. I'm so angry that I could die. Unlike you guys, all of you are hiding in Tian Ling Mountain, saying that you're guarding the sect. There's even one that's even worse. He directly went to the Eastern Sea to look for scenic spots, leaving me, a weak girl, on this Huan Yu Island with no one to care about me. This Zhenling man is really something!"
Lu Ping lowered his head. Even with his Mid Stage Core Forging Realm cultivation, he couldn't help but laugh at Tian Xue Laozu's words.
Tianlu Laozu seemed to have already gotten used to Tian Xue Laozu's way of speaking. He laughed dryly, "Senior Sister is the pillar of our sect. This Huan Yu Island is, after all, the place where the alliance of the Northern Sea's sects is located. Senior Sister's presence here is where our sect's confidence lies. If Senior Sister were to throw away her responsibilities, wouldn't this Huan Yu Island become Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Yan's word?"
"He dares!" Tian Xue Laozu's eyebrows shot up as she spat out a few words, "I'll beat him to death!"
"That's right!" Tianlu Laozu no longer had a trace of his sect's prestige as the sect's Laozu. His mouth was full of flattery as he said, "Don't you see what kind of person Senior Sister is? She's our sect's third, no, second expert. Suppressing a Xuan Ling Sect's Mid Stage Dharma cultivator is just a piece of cake."
Lu Ping could clearly see that when Tianlu Laozu said 'third', Tian Xue Laozu's eyebrows furrowed. Tianlu Laozu immediately said 'second'. Only then did Tian Xue Laozu let out a light snort and let him finish his sentence.
Tian Xue Laozu waved her hand impatiently and said, "Cut the crap. This time, it's the Northern Sea's Alchemist Gathering, right? The lowest requirement there is to be an Alchemist Master. You've brought such a young lad this time. Don't tell me he's the disciple of that crazy lass from Tian Ling? The one who's been in the limelight recently, 'Water Sword Deity'?"
Lu Ping sighed in his heart. Perhaps this Laozu was the most unscrupulous person in the sect. However, it was no wonder. The person in front of him was one of the three Mid Stage Dharma cultivators in the sect. In the sect, she could naturally do whatever she wanted. As long as it wasn't a traitor, who would dare to argue with her?
Lu Ping hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple Lu Ping pays his respects to Martial Grandaunt Tian Xue!"
Tian Xue Laozu's eyes lit up. Lu Ping felt as if a sharp knife was slicing across his body. Tian Xue Laozu had a look of surprise on her face as she said, "Lad, you dare to call yourself a Sword Deity at such a young age. Even Yujian Sect's Mo Jianli doesn't dare to call yourself that. I heard that you're also an alchemist. Can you take care of both?"
Yujian Sect was the only major sword cultivator sect in the Northern Sea. Mo Jianli was a Mid Stage Dharma cultivator from Yujian Sect, Laozu.
Lu Ping obeyed Tianlu Laozu's instructions and replied, "Disciple will do his best!"
Tian Xue Laozu laughed coldly, "Lad, it's not that easy to enter the Northern Sea Alchemist Master Gathering, especially for someone as young as you. Others have worked hard for hundreds of years to achieve this. You only took thirty to fifty years to achieve this. Do you think others will let you off so easily? Even with Tianlu's recommendation, others will still make things difficult for you. "
Tianlu Laozu's expression turned grave as he said, "Why? Did Senior Apprentice Sister hear some news? In the past, when there were new alchemists, as long as someone recommended them, they wouldn't make things difficult for them. But this time, someone actually dares to make things difficult for me, Zhenling? "
Tian Xue Laozu glared at him and said, "Other than Xuan Ling Sect, who else dares to challenge our sect? Isn't this all because of that lass Xuanqin back then? "
Tianlu Laozu's expression changed as he said, "Wei Xuren, that fellow is here?"
Tian Xue Laozu sighed and said, "Not only is he here, that fellow has already become Xuan Ling Sect's second Alchemist Master. This time, that old bastard is here to show off to the various sects in the Northern Sea. If Xuanqin was here, she would naturally suppress him. But this little fellow? Hmph, hmph! "
Lu Ping directly ignored Tian Xue Laozu's disdainful expression. When that Wei Xuren was in the Fourth Layer Core Forging Realm, he might not have had Lu Ping's current alchemy skills. However, the crucial point now was not cultivation, but alchemy skills.
Tianlu Laozu helplessly looked at Lu Ping and said, "This is also Xuanqin's fault. That year, when Wei Xuren challenged her, not only did Xuanqin win, she even ruthlessly ridiculed him, causing an alchemist master to vomit blood and faint. She lost all her face. Now that the other party is seeking revenge, it is expected."
Tian Xue Laozu pointed at Tianlu Laozu and said, "What kind of teacher are you? That year, that Wei Xuren provoked Xuanqin with his words. That lass Xuanqin only gave him a taste of his own medicine. What's wrong with that? On the contrary, you, as her teacher, didn't protect Xuanqin because of those two bastards Tianlin and Tianling, allowing that lass Xuanqin to leave in a fit of anger. That's wrong. "
Tianlu Laozu smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Lu Ping quietly stood behind Tianlu Laozu with his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking. Tian Xue Laozu glanced at Lu Ping. He knew that Tianlu Laozu wasn't willing to mention what happened in the past in front of a junior. Thus, he coldly snorted and said, "Brat, it seems like you're also a talent. Sooner or later, you'll know about this. Although you're that crazy lass Tianling's disciple, you don't have to be afraid that I, Laozu, will make things difficult for a junior like you."
"However!"
Tian Xue Laozu suddenly said sternly, "Brat, if you throw our sect's face in the Alchemist Assembly, don't blame me, Laozu, for using this as an excuse to send you to the seabed to mine ores for five years."
Lu Ping suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian Xue Laozu with bright eyes, "If this disciple didn't throw our sect's face, shouldn't Laozu give me some benefits as a reward?"
Tian Xue Laozu and Tianlu Laozu looked at this extremely daring brat in front of them in shock. He was actually so calm and unruffled in front of Fa Xiang Laozu. Tian Xue Laozu was so angry that he laughed, "If you didn't throw our sect's face, that's what you ought to do. Don't tell me you're thinking of using our sect's honor to threaten me, Laozu?"
Lu Ping cursed inwardly as an old fox. He grew up in Zhenling. To put it bluntly, Zhenling was his home. How could Lu Ping allow Zhenling to throw their sect's face in front of other sects just because there were no benefits?
"However …"
Lu Ping's spirit was shaken. This was the second time Tian Xue Laozu spoke in such a long tone. As expected, Tian Xue Laozu continued, "If you can obtain the Five Years Lifespan Pill's pill formula in the Alchemist Assembly, even if you lose face, I, Laozu, will reward you with something. If you don't lose face and obtain the Lifespan Pill's pill formula, I, Laozu, will let you pick three items from my collection!"
"Deal!"
Lu Ping's words caused Tianlu Laozu's expression to turn weird. Tian Xue Laozu, on the other hand, was laughing coldly.
Lu Ping didn't care about all these. The reason why he went against Tian Xue Laozu was because he was angry that Tian Xue Laozu kept calling his master 'crazy lass'. Furthermore, Tian Xue Laozu was obviously standing on Xuanqin Laozu's side. Although Lu Ping wasn't sure what exactly happened back then, he could guess that the reason why his master and Grandmaster had a falling out was most likely because of this Martial Aunt Xuanqin.
However, after hearing Tian Xue Laozu's words, Lu Ping was overjoyed. Currently, he had a Five Years Lifespan Pill's pill formula in his hand. He even had a Ten Years Lifespan Pill's pill formula. He was already in an invincible position. Of course, the Ten Years Lifespan Pill's pill formula was too shocking in the Northern Sea. Naturally, Lu Ping wouldn't take it out easily.
