After sending off Ceng Wu's five companions, everyone's eyes fell on the dozens of objects placed on the ground. Lu Ping didn't stand on ceremony and took the lead to look at all the objects on the ground. Although Qiao Weijie and Dao Master Shui Xiu didn't look too good, neither of them said anything. At this time, after the short contest, everyone in the tea house had undoubtedly recognized Lu Ping's strength. Lu Ping being the first to choose the objects on the ground was a manifestation of this recognition.
When Lu Ping returned to his seat, he was already holding three objects in his hand. One of them was the black stone that Dao Master Yang Sanyang wanted at the beginning. Seeing that the black stone was picked up by Lu Ping, Dao Master Yang Sanyang's eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Ping threw a bottle of medicinal pills to Ceng Wu and said, "This bottle of medicinal pills is already useless to me, but it will be quite useful for your future cultivation."
At this time, the shackles on Ceng Wu's body had been removed by Lu Ping. Ceng Wu, who regained control of his body, still stood cautiously in the tea house, not daring to show a trace of emotion on his face.
After Lu Ping, Qiao Weijie picked two more objects, followed by Dao Master Shui Xiu and Dao Master Qian Shu of Yu Hai Sect. After Dao Master Han Fei of Soaring Feather Sect picked two more objects, the remaining three objects were just some ordinary top-grade spiritual materials and Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pills. Naturally, Dao Master Yang Sanyang didn't care about these things. He just casually kept the objects on the ground.
While everyone was choosing their items, Lu Ping waited quietly on the side. Of the three items he had chosen earlier, other than the bottle of medicinal pellets that was specially chosen for Ceng Wu, the black stone was called the Crimson Flame Stone. It was a fire-attribute Heaven and Earth Unique Treasure. Unlike other fire-attribute Heaven and Earth Unique Treasures that existed in the form of fire seeds, the Crimson Flame Stone itself wasn't a fire seed. However, it had a unique property — it could temporarily enhance the quality of other fire seeds.
In fact, Lu Ping knew of several similar methods. For example, he could use wood-elemental spirit materials as fuel or use spirit stones to cast [Spirit Explosion Art]. All of these methods could enhance the fire seed's power. However, these methods only enhanced the fire seed's power and not its grade. But this Crimson Blaze Rock was different. When used in conjunction with the fire seed, the fire seed's power would be enhanced to a whole new level until the Crimson Blaze Rock was completely burned away by the fire seed.
Although the Mysterious Sky Spirit Burning Fire could also be enhanced by a level with the support of spirit stones, that was only the characteristics of the Mysterious Sky Spirit Burning Fire. Without the Scarlet Flame Stone, other fire seeds would not have such a function.
Lu Ping played with the Scarlet Flame Stone in his hand and was a little hesitant. If he also put the Scarlet Flame Stone into the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash, the power of the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire in the Thunder Calabash would definitely be greatly enhanced, but the number of fire seeds would not increase, and there would still be only one strange fire.
After thinking about it, Lu Ping temporarily put away the Scarlet Flame Stone and did not put it into the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash.
The other item was a second-grade peak-grade spiritual material. It was also a treasure that Lu Ping planned to use to enhance the quality of the Golden Scale Sword. After the Golden Scale Sword was upgraded to a spiritual treasure by Lu Ping, the quality of the Golden Scale Sword could no longer be guaranteed to continue increasing the quality of the Golden Scale Sword. If he wanted to carve the fifth or sixth spiritual treasure restriction on the Golden Scale Sword, he would need to enhance the quality of the Golden Scale Sword.
Previously, when Lu Ping chose a large piece of crystal jade from Tian Xue Laozu's treasury, it was for this purpose. Now, Lu Ping discovered that among the spiritual materials that Ceng Wu and the rest found in the cave, there was actually an emerald jade. This was also a second-grade spiritual material that could be used to enhance the quality of the Golden Scale Sword.
With these two spiritual materials in hand, Lu Ping was confident that he could enhance the quality of the Golden Scale Sword to the point where it could withstand the fifth spiritual treasure restriction. As for the sixth spiritual treasure restriction, it might be a little difficult. After all, Lu Ping knew very little about refining weapons. He needed to ask Chen Lian before he could know.
After Reverend Yang Sanyang kept the remaining three items, Reverend Shui Xiu smiled and said, "There's no time to lose. It's better for us to hurry to the cave as soon as possible."
Everyone knew that they were most afraid of accidents happening in this kind of matter. Therefore, after the group of seven came out from the tea house, they hurriedly walked out of the Universal Island.
Suddenly, a clear bird cry came from the sky above the depths of the sea. Suddenly, a huge black dot appeared on the distant sea surface. The black dot's speed was extremely fast. Just as the bird cry was heard, the black dot had already flown close to them. It was a huge Luan bird. The green and red colored tail feathers made the Luan bird look majestic.
The Luan bird flew to the sky above the sea, and circled back and forth twice. It seemed as if it was confirming something. Then, two human silhouettes suddenly appeared on the back of the Luan bird, and slowly floated down from it.
Ceng Wu stood behind Lu Ping. Lu Ping used his divine sense to explore the surroundings of the seabed. Then, he casually asked, "Is this the place?"
Ceng Wu respectfully replied from behind Lu Ping, "Yes, it's here. Last time, we chased after a demonic beast in this place. We happened to find the cave at the bottom of the sea."
Lu Ping nodded. He stood on the sea surface and didn't move. The huge Luan bird in the sky suddenly chirped twice. Its body rapidly shrank in the sky. Finally, it turned into a beautiful green and red bird that was more than a foot long. It landed on Lu Ping's shoulder and started to sing. Its clear and melodious cry spread far and wide on the sea surface. The demonic beasts that were cruising in this part of the sea seemed to have received some kind of signal when they heard the little bird's song. Then, they started to avoid it one after another.
After a while, a few rays of light appeared in the sky and rushed towards Lu Ping's direction at high speed. After the rays of light descended, Daoist Shui Xiu, Qiao Weijie, and the other four people emerged from the rays of light. Everyone looked at the little bird on Lu Ping's shoulder, and their faces revealed a look of amazement. At the same time, they looked at Lu Ping with an even more intense look of dread in their eyes.
Daoist Shui Xiu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lu's demon pet is very fast. We can't catch up to it."
Lu Ping smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed to the sea surface and said, "The cave should be at the bottom of the sea. Since everyone is here, let's get started."
Lu Ping's voice had barely faded when his figure suddenly transformed into two masses of flowing water. He drilled into the sea along with Ceng Wu, and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone glanced at each other. They didn't dare to lag behind, and each of them displayed their own methods. Daoist Shui Xiu's figure exploded, and turned into a mass of water mist. Then, he shrunk back into the sea. Qiao Weijie looked at the position where Lu Ping and Daoist Shui Xiu had disappeared into the sea. He sneered twice, and his figure smashed into the sea. A loud sound was heard along with the soaring waves. When the sea surface calmed down, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Han Fei, Qian Shu, and Yang Sanyang also displayed their own methods, and went deep into the sea.
There was a towering underwater mountain range only a hundred feet away from the sea surface. Everyone once again went more than a thousand feet deep into the sea. Then, they found the entrance to a cave in a hidden location on the mountainside of the underwater mountain range. They waited until they had gone more than a hundred feet into the cave. But, they found that the seawater was blocked by a layer of light shield after they had gone more than a hundred feet into the cave. Everyone knew that this should be the effect of the cave's formation.
Daoist Shui Xiu and the others entered the cave. They found that there was a spacious hall in the cave. It seemed as if the belly of the entire mountain range had been hollowed out.
