In Zhenling, earth-ranked and above Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, as well as other similar treasures, if one wanted to bestow it to their disciples, they would need at least two to three Transcendence Laozu's approval. Tian Xue Laozu had agreed to bestow some benefits to Lu Ping, but it was in her own name. Thus, even if Tian Xue Laozu might have even better treasures in her possession, and they weren't from the sect, she wouldn't take them out for Lu Ping to choose from. As for the few Mystic Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, Lu Ping really didn't fancy them.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Grand Martial Uncle, actually this disciple still has some treasures that I fancy in the treasury. I wonder if this disciple can use other items to exchange for them?"
"Oh?" Tian Xue Laozu had an interested expression as she said, "What good stuff do you have? Take it out and let me have a look."
Lu Ping flipped through the storage ring in his hand before taking out a piece of chalcedony. The moment he took it out, the entire Snow Mist Palace immediately turned cold.
"Not bad!"
Tian Xue Laozu's eyes lit up as she said, "This is a Mid-grade Mystic Rank Cold Ice Pith. From the looks of it, it has been around for thousands of years. Our sect has a few Initial Stage Core Forging Cultivators who practice ice attribute cultivation arts who have reached the threshold to advance to the middle stage. Your spiritual item came at the right time. Tell me, what did you fancy earlier?"
Lu Ping knew that Tian Xue Laozu was a Great Master who practiced ice attribute cultivation arts in their sect. He purposely took out this Cold Ice Pith because he knew that Tian Xue Laozu would definitely be interested in it.
A Mid-grade Mystic Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item was considered not bad for ordinary Initial Stage Core Forging Cultivators. However, Lu Ping didn't fancy it. Even though Lu Ping had an Ice Snake among his Samling subordinates, if the Green Sea Snake were to use a Mid-grade Mystic Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item to advance to the middle stage, it would be a waste.
Lu Ping calmly passed the spiritual item to Tian Xue Laozu before saying, "This disciple saw that there is a Wind Seed in Laozu's treasury. This Wind Seed is useful to this disciple. I hope Laozu can part with it."
Just as Lu Ping finished speaking, a small whirlwind-like Wind Seed appeared in front of Lu Ping. Traces of wind scattered around the Wind Seed, causing the temperature around the Wind Seed to drop even faster. It was to the point where frost was about to form.
Tian Xue Laozu said, "Although this Wind Seed is a wind attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item, it was obtained by me, Laozu, from the Northern Ice Plains. The Northern Ice Plains has been affected by the harsh cold all year round. When this Wind Seed is used, the cold wind is bone-piercing. Although it is considered a high quality Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item, it is still lacking when compared to this Cold Ice Pith. Brat, do you have anything else that you value?"
Lu Ping already knew this would happen. Thus, he nodded his head and smiled, "This disciple has taken a liking to a piece of Crystal Jade."
Lu Ping was still unable to see how Tian Xue Laozu moved, and a piece of crystal-like object appeared in his hand. He said, "A second grade water attribute mutated spiritual material. This is an extremely good item. It is comparable to those third grade spiritual materials. The value of these two items added together is comparable to that Cold Ice Pith."
"Brat, do you still need anything else? The Old Man also has a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items here. If you are able to exchange for that Indigo Spiritual Fire, the Old Man will let you choose any of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items here. "
Tianlu Laozu knew that Lu Ping was searching for all sorts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items. Previously, Tianjiang Laozu had used the Eastern Purple Qi Flame to exchange for his Profound Sky Spiritual Fire, as well as the three-thousand-year-old spiritual grass in the Northern Sea Palace. Thus, when he saw that Lu Ping was actually willing to take out a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item to exchange for these items, Tianlu Laozu immediately shifted his attention to Lu Ping's high-grade Profound Spiritual Item, Indigo Spiritual Fire.
The Indigo Spiritual Fire was the most suitable Profound Spiritual Fire for alchemy. Tianlu Laozu knew very well that if an early-stage Core Forging disciple used this fire to advance to the mid-stage, not only would it greatly benefit their alchemy skills, but it would also be possible for them to achieve a sixth-grade Golden Core and break through to the Transcendence stage in the future.
Lu Ping's heart moved. Now in the Seven Thunder Gem Calabash, three Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items of the six attributes of metal, wood, water, earth, wind, and ice were all gathered. There was only one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item of the fire attribute left. Tianlu Laozu was the sect's Transcendence stage alchemy grandmaster, how could he lack all kinds of fire seeds? Presumably, Lu Ping did not have to use the Indigo Spiritual Fire. Lu Ping also had the Soul Wood and the Ming Water of the mid-grade Profound Spiritual Items. As long as he took out any of them, he could immediately exchange for two kinds of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire seeds.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Ping still refused and said, "Thank you, Laozu, but I have nothing else I need at the moment."
The Seven Thunder Gem Calabash could be said to be second only to Lu Ping's own bloodline. The secret of the twelve Natal Genchen Pearls and the nine thousand years old White Jade Lotus Flower in which the Golden Core was stored was even higher than Lu Ping's smelting of the Xuanyuan Heavy Water to advance to the Mid Core Forging Stage and the cultivation technique "North Sea Wave Listening Art". Lu Ping was not willing to let others associate the Seven Thunder Gem Calabash because of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item. This kind of treasure was always coveted. Because of its illustrious reputation, it was the most precious treasure in the hands of the Seventh Patriarch, Peng Daoren. Therefore, in the cultivation world, it had the reputation of being the first Divine Artifact. Unfortunately, after Peng Daoren, there was no other cultivator in the cultivation world who could refine the Seven Thunder Gem Calabash to its peak.
Tianlu Laozu nodded his head regretfully. Tian Xue Laozu laughed and scolded, "Little fox!" Then, he no longer cared about him. After bidding farewell to the two Laozu, Lu Ping left the Snow Mist Palace. Thinking that he had yet to tour the Huan Yu Island, now that he had some free time, he might as well take a stroll around the city square.
Ever since Lu Ping became a Master Alchemist, especially after he returned from the Eastern Sea, Lu Ping rarely went to the city square to purchase spiritual herbs without restraint. This was because as the Master Alchemist of the sect, there was basically no need for Lu Ping to do it himself. The sect would send a large amount of spiritual herbs to Lu Ping. This was the advantage of having the backing of a great sect.
The scale of Huan Yu Island's city square was very large. There were three streets in each direction. The city square was also filled with cultivators, making it very lively. Lu Ping excitedly began to purchase spiritual herbs without restraint. Spiritual herbs that were more than five hundred years old, especially those that could be used to concoct the Blood Condensation Pill, were all bought by Lu Ping with a large amount of spiritual stones. As for the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, although Huan Yu Island was the most famous cultivator's city square in the Northern Sea, there weren't many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the various shops. However, Lu Ping didn't mind. He would buy as many as he could.
After half a day, although Lu Ping had some harvests, he became dispirited. Originally, Lu Ping still had the thought of picking up some leftovers and seeing if he could find some good items that could make his eyes light up. However, it was clear that luck couldn't always be on one person.
Lu Ping's mind raced and he suddenly thought of the mortal market. It was a place where all kinds of strange things could be found. Although most of the things in the market were fake, it depended on the cultivator's eyesight. Perhaps one of the things that looked like a piece of junk could actually be a rare treasure.
Lu Ping walked around here and there, heading towards the northern side of the city square. The mortal market was not as clean and tidy as the city square. This was a place where all sorts of good and bad people mixed together. There were all sorts of stalls set up everywhere without any sort of order to speak of. All sorts of shouts, quarrels, and curses could be heard.
Lu Ping was not surprised. As he walked slowly, he lowered his head to look at the various items placed on the ground. At the same time, he inadvertently glanced behind him, the corners of his lips curling into a sneer.
When he passed by a narrow alley, Lu Ping's figure flashed and disappeared into it. A young cultivator hurriedly walked over and also walked into the alley.
However, when the cultivator entered the alley and saw that it was empty, he was immediately shocked.
"Are you looking for me?"
A calm voice rang out from behind the cultivator. The calm voice caused the cultivator to jump and he hastily turned around.
Lu Ping looked at this Mid Blood Condensation Realm Minor Repairs in front of him and felt a sense of deja vu. On the other hand, the cultivator in front of him was already overjoyed. He bowed and said, "Junior Ceng Wu greets Senior."
Lu Ping asked in surprise, "Ceng Wu? I don't know you. Why are you bowing so respectfully to me? "
Ceng Wu straightened his body and said excitedly, "Senior might have forgotten, but I am a little shop assistant on Autumn Cloud Island. Senior rewarded me with pills and spirit stones that allowed me to reach my current level of cultivation."
It suddenly dawned on Lu Ping. Back then, when he was still a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator and returned to Qiu Yun Island from the monster sea region, he did hire an Early Blood Refining Realm cultivator as a guide. He even gave the cultivator a few bottles of medicinal pellets and spirit stones. But who would have thought that after a few decades, the Blood Refining Realm cultivator had become a Mid Blood Condensation Realm cultivator with a dignified appearance?
Lu Ping waved his hand and said, "Those things are nothing. It's fate that we met. It's just a small favor."
Ceng Wu replied in a serious tone, "To Senior, the favor you gave me back then may be as easy as lifting a finger, but to this junior, it is of utmost importance. If it weren't for Senior's kindness, this junior would still be a mediocre Blood Refining Realm cultivator."
Lu Ping didn't want to talk about this anymore. He saw that although Ceng Wu's cultivation wasn't pure, his foundation was solid and his aura was sharp. It was obvious that he often appeared in dangerous places. Lu Ping asked, "Ceng Wu, have you joined a sect?"
Ceng Wu answered, "Reporting to Senior, I'm used to living a free and undisciplined life. I'm afraid I won't be noticed by a sect. I've been hunting demonic beasts with a few friends for a living. This time, after disciple and a few good friends set out to sea, we wanted to sell some of our gains on Universe Island. We never expected to encounter Senior, so we chased after you first with the intention of thanking Senior for helping us all those years ago. I never expected that it would cause Senior to misunderstand. "
Lu Ping smiled. Seeing Ceng Wu's clear eyes, he knew he wasn't lying. Lu Ping said, "Your friends are in the mortal market? I happen to be playing in the mortal market. Let's go see what you've gained. "
Ceng Wu's face lit up and he hurriedly said, "Junior, lead the way."
Then, he led the way. Lu Ping looked at Ceng Wu's back and smiled noncommittally. He then leisurely followed Ceng Wu.
