There were more and more cultivators on Huang Li Island. Due to Jiang Tianlin and Laozu's presence, there were even Core Forging Realm cultivators appearing on Huang Li Island. However, most of these Core Forging Realm cultivators were Zhenling cultivators or the Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters of Zhenling's subordinate clans.
Currently, the busiest person on Huang Li Island was Hu Lili. When Lu Ping frequently went out and Jiang Tianlin and Laozu were absent, all the matters on Huang Li Island were decided by Hu Lili alone.
When Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, he saw a busy scene. Under Hu Lili's orders, many Zhenling Blood Condensation disciples were setting up various formations and restrictions with various spiritual materials. Lu Ping knew that Hu Lili was preparing for Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan's Mountain Moving Sea Filling Technique to expand Huang Li Island.
Under Hu Lili's command, Ceng Wu and the other five were also in charge of setting up a formation on Huang Li Island. Most of these cultivators who were allowed to participate in Huang Li Island's expansion plan were outer sect disciples or even inner sect disciples. Lu Ping didn't expect that Ceng Wu and the others, who had always been rogue cultivators, would be willing to become outer sect disciples of Zhenling.
A few days ago, Lu Ping once again guided a small spirit vein from Clear Stream Cave to Huang Li Island. Currently, the number of small spirit veins on Huang Li Island had increased to four and five miniature spirit veins. The spirit gathering area on Huang Li Island had reached its peak. This was also the reason why Lu Ping was so anxious to invite Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan to Huang Li Island to cast the Mountain Moving Sea Filling Technique. The size of Huang Li Island had become the biggest obstacle to Huang Li Island's expansion.
Lu Ping returned to his cave dwelling and placed the Golden House on top of the spirit vein. The isolated mountain in the Golden House had the effect of accumulating spiritual energy. Even without the nourishment of the spirit vein, the density of spiritual energy in the Golden House could still be maintained for tens of days.
Lu Ping still had a miniature Spiritual Gathering Pearl that he obtained from Tian Xue and Laozu. After burying it in the spirit vein, it was only a matter of time before the fifth small spirit vein appeared on Huang Li Island. Other than that, there were three miniature Spiritual Gathering Pearls that he obtained from Clear Stream Cave Dwelling. Lu Ping thought for a moment and buried them in the spirit vein. This way, the total number of miniature spirit veins would reach eight. If he guided another two small spirit veins, the six small spirit veins on Huang Li Island would be formed.
This kind of foundation was something that many medium-sized islands in Zhenling couldn't compare to!
Just as Lu Ping finished sorting out the spirit veins in the cave dwelling, Chen Lian had already arrived. When he saw Lu Ping, he smiled and said, "I heard that you've been in the limelight on Huan Yu Island recently. The dignified Xuan Ling Sect's Alchemist Grandmaster was humiliated by you. Now, the news has spread across the entire North Sea."
Lu Ping smiled, "You're the most well-informed!"
After saying that, he took out twenty-two of the twenty-four corals that he obtained from Clear Stream Cave Dwelling. Chen Lian's eyes lit up when he saw the twenty-two corals. He smiled, "This is really good stuff. Such huge corals must have taken thousands of years to form. Although there are all kinds of spiritual materials mixed together, it's good that it doesn't require too much effort to refine."
Lu Ping smiled and took out two corals that were formed from second-grade mutated spiritual materials. Chen Lian was dumbfounded when he saw them. After a while, he exclaimed, "We're rich! We're rich! This kind of good stuff can probably be separated from dozens of different mutated spiritual materials. Although there are many, it's still a rare treasure."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Ping and hesitated, "Are you going to give this to me as well?"
Lu Ping nodded. Chen Lian was overjoyed. However, Lu Ping said, "There's a condition."
Chen Lian nodded solemnly and said, "Say it!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I still have some good spiritual materials here. You have to refine four of the best magic weapons for me. One was a pair of fire-and-wind dual-attribute magic treasures for Lu Qin 'er. I also needed a wind-attribute magic treasure, a water-attribute halberd magic treasure, and a pair of ice-attribute daggers for my three spirit pets, my little snakes. You have to bring out your best skills for these four magic weapons. As for the Treasure Restriction, you have to solve it yourself. In short, each magic weapon has to condense three Treasure Restriction, and it's best not to repeat them. In the future, you have to at least have the opportunity to upgrade them to psychic magic weapons. "
Chen Lian thought for a while and said with a smile, "I know it's not easy to take advantage of you. Well, I'm going all out this time. I still have some good things that I've accumulated over the years. This time, I'll use them all to make a few magic weapon embryos."
Chen Lian's current level of attainment in the art of artefact refinement was inseparable from Lu Ping's strong support. The two of them had a deep friendship. Chen Lian was also one of Lu Ping's earliest good friends. Thus, there was no need to hold back in their conversation.
Lu Ping brought out the Gold Scale Sword. At the same time, there were also the two mutated spiritual materials that Lu Ping had collected. Then, he said to Chen Lian, "With these two spiritual materials, the Gold Scale Sword should be able to condense the fifth Treasure Restriction. Given your current level of artefact refinement techniques, upgrading a psychic magic weapon should not be difficult, right?"
Chen Lian accepted the Gold Scale Sword. At the same time, he carefully inspected the two spiritual materials. After pondering for a moment, he said, "These two spiritual materials are indeed good items. They are enough to upgrade the Gold Scale Sword's quality. However, you will need to figure out how to make the fifth Treasure Restriction. I do not have it. Even my master, Sage Enigma Flame, might not have it. You can only ask Patriarch Celestial River for it. Given your current position in the sect and the fact that the sect is relying on you, your request will be easily agreed to."
Lu Ping nodded his head, not saying anything. Lu Ping was a Grandmaster Alchemist of Zhenling. He had mastered the pill transformation technique for the Blood Condensing Pill. Additionally, the Spiritual Water Pill was unique in the North Sea. The Spiritual Water Meridian Fostering Pill that Lu Ping concocted was regarded as a treasure by Zhenling. It was sold at a sky-high price in the North Sea's world of cultivation. Additionally, its quantity was extremely limited. At present, Lu Ping could be said to be the number one alchemist in Zhenling, with the exception of Tianlu Laozu.
Given his status, it was naturally very easy for Lu Ping to ask the sect for a spiritual barrier. In fact, Zhenling welcomed Lu Ping's actions. If Lu Ping had to deal with everything himself, unlike Zhenling, that was something that the high-level cultivators of Zhenling did not want to see.
Lu Ping stretched his left hand out and grasped something. Next, his right hand stroked his left hand and a faint-blue sword immediately appeared in Lu Ping's left hand.
Wielding the Waterspirit Sword, Lu Ping said, "At present, the Waterspirit Sword has only condensed out two barriers. Given its quality, it can easily condense out a third barrier. A pity."
Although the Waterspirit Sword had repeatedly performed miraculous feats in Lu Ping's hands, as Lu Ping's cultivation gradually increased, the enemies he faced also grew stronger. The Waterspirit Sword was only an ordinary magic treasure that had condensed out two barriers. Even if it had a strange invisibility effect, its power was somewhat lacking.
Chen Lian also said helplessly, "Not only is the Invisible Flying Sword's quality rare, but its barrier is also the rarest. Our sect originally only had one barrier, which was passed down from Feiling Sect. The other barrier was found in the 'Shapeless Sword Art' you obtained. If you want to condense the third barrier, it will depend on your luck."
Chen Lian took the Golden Scale Sword with him, but Lu Ping planned to take advantage of this time to properly digest what he had accumulated. Although Lu Ping had not delayed his cultivation because of constantly going out, after advancing to the middle stage, his cultivation speed had plummeted, so he needed to settle down and meditate in seclusion for a period of time.
After sending a Sound Transmitting Sword to Hu Lili, Lu Ping gave her some instructions for the upcoming period of time. Then, he sealed his cave abode and began to meditate in seclusion.
Although the Spirit-Gathering Pearl that he had just buried had yet to evolve into a spirit vein, there were already four small spirit veins and five miniature spirit veins in the cave abode, which was enough for Lu Ping to cultivate. However, Lu Ping was not satisfied with just this. In one breath, he laid down a Spirit-Gathering Formation with thirty-six high-grade spirit stones, causing the density of the spiritual Qi in the cave abode to almost turn into liquid. Then, he placed the Golden House on top of the spirit vein and the Spirit-Gathering Formation, absorbing all the dense spiritual Qi in the cave abode.
Lu Ping did not need to lay down a Spirit-Gathering Formation to assist his cultivation. The small mountain in the Golden House was a special Spirit-Gathering Formation. Moreover, it was much more exquisite than the Spirit-Gathering Formation set up by cultivators like Lu Ping and Hu Lili, who specialized in formations.
Moreover, the North Sea Wave Listening Technique that Lu Ping was cultivating was a cultivation technique that required a huge amount of spiritual Qi. This cultivation technique itself was like a Spirit-Gathering Formation, so there was no need for Lu Ping to gather spiritual Qi. If it were not for the fact that there were four to five small spirit veins here, the spiritual Qi would not be enough, so there was no need for him to gather it.
Just like that, half a year passed. On top of the small mountain in the Golden House, there was a magnificent palace. This was the central palace that Lu Ping had obtained from the Clear Stream Abode.
At this moment, inside the palace, Luan Yu looked at the surroundings of the palace and clicked her tongue. "This is indeed an excellent spatial magic tool. Although it cannot compare to a large-scale spatial magic tool like the Golden House, it is still the work of Fa Xiang Laozu. It is a pity that this palace lacks many decorations, so it looks empty."
Lu Ping turned a black stone over and over in his hand. The green light in his eyes flickered continuously, but he still could not find anything. After a while, he put the stone down and asked, "What secret does this Black Jade Stone contain? Why did you almost expose it during the North Sea Palace's alchemists' gathering? Although it is a high-grade Mystic-level earth-attribute Heaven and Earth Spirit Object, don't tell me that it was just to prepare for Dabao's advancement to the mid-stage of the Core Forging Realm. Dabao is becoming more and more lazy in his cultivation. I'm afraid it will take decades for him to advance to the mid-stage of the Core Forging Realm. "
Luan Yu chuckled and said, "Of course it is. I didn't think that I would encounter such an object in the North Sea. It looks like the North Sea is not as barren as the cultivation world thinks."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Just a single Black Jade Stone is enough to make you feel so emotional. The barrenness of the North Sea cannot be improved by a single Heaven and Earth Spirit Object."
Luan Yu said seriously, "That may not be the case. The cultivation world knows that the North Sea is barren, but that is only because the true treasures hidden in the North Sea have not been discovered yet."
Luan Yu did not wait for Lu Ping to refute and continued, "Let's talk about the large-scale spirit ore vein on Frost Island. The North Sea cultivation world has been developing for tens of thousands of years. Who would have thought that the snow-covered Frost Island would hide such great wealth? Although this large-scale spirit ore vein alone is not enough to completely change the barrenness of the North Sea, who can deny that there are other cultivation resources hidden in unknown places in the North Sea? "
This time, Lu Ping did not say anything. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just tell me what secrets this Black Jade Stone contains."
Luan Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you know about Growing Soil?"
