"Manager Pang, as far as I know, Master Xi Xuanmu is a true disciple of our sect, so his cultivation should be at least at the fourth layer of the Core Forging Realm. However, I can see that although the jade talisman is glowing with a golden light, there are three spiritual halos within it. It's obvious that it was made by a third layer Core Forging Realm master.
The one who spoke was Shi Lingling from room 10.
When Lu Ping heard Shi Lingling's words, he hurriedly looked at the jade talisman. However, he could only see a golden light flowing on the surface of the talisman. He knew that Shi Lingling must have cultivated some kind of secret technique related to her eyes. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to use her divine sense to observe like the rest of them.
On the stage, Manager Pang smiled awkwardly. "So it's Miss Shi from the Shi Clan. No wonder you can recognize the inside of this talisman."
"This talisman was made by Master Xi when he was still at the third layer of the Core Forging Realm. Now that he has broken through to the third layer, he's already a true disciple of Zhenling."
Lu Ping didn't know that there were so many divisions in Zhenling. Previously, when Master Immortal Liu advanced to the late Blood Condensation Realm, he accidentally heard that Master Immortal Liu was already a core disciple of the sect. It seemed that there were still true disciples above the core disciples. From their conversation, it seemed that the requirement to become a true disciple was to be at least at the fourth layer of the Core Forging Realm.
Lu Ping, who had heard some of the secrets of Zhenling, was trying to guess Shi Lingling's identity when Manager Pang announced the start of the bidding.
The starting price of the talisman was 2,000 spirit stones. Due to the high starting price, it was mainly targeted at the descendants of the aristocratic families. Unless there was a nouveau riche like Lu Ping, ordinary Blood Refining Realm cultivators didn't have so many spirit stones. Therefore, the price of the talisman didn't rise very quickly.
Lu Ping already had a talisman, so he didn't bid for this one. Moreover, he had already angered the public. If he bid now, it would only cause more chaos.
Lu Ping's heart thumped. He took out the talisman he obtained.
Since this talisman had been used once, the golden light on its surface had dimmed.
Lu Ping focused his gaze on the inside of the talisman treasure. Sure enough, he saw a faint spiritual halo circulating in the middle of the talisman treasure's spirit jade.
Lu Ping couldn't help but feel bewildered. This talisman treasure was made by a First Layer Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master. However, when he recalled the power of the golden spear, Lu Ping shook his head and thought to himself, "If a talisman treasure made by a First Layer Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master is so powerful, then how powerful would a Third Layer Core Forging Stage Enlightened Master be?
At this time, the auction for the treasure talisman was nearing its end. Shi Lingling continued to increase the price without the slightest hesitation, causing many cultivators to stop bidding against her. The price of the treasure talisman had already risen to 4,300 spirit stones.
At that moment, a middle-aged cultivator with a cold expression on his face made his bid.
"4500 Spirit Stones!" Shi Lingling increased the price without hesitation.
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Shi Lingling's private room number 10. He didn't say a word. This talisman treasure was bought by Shi Lingling.
After the auction ended, Lu Ping calmly followed the crowd out of the auction house.
As expected, there were many suspicious cultivators outside the auction house, looking left and right at the cultivators who participated in the auction.
Lu Ping's calmness didn't attract any attention.
After leaving the auction house, Lu Ping still had many things to do. He purchased a large amount of low-grade and mid-grade spiritual herbs for Blood Refining Realm pills from the various spiritual herb stores on Di Kun Island.
Lu Ping's current success rate for low-grade Blood Refining Realm pills was around 30%. To achieve this, Lu Ping had used up all the low-grade spiritual herbs that Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden had accumulated over the past 200 years.
Lu Ping planned to start refining mid-grade Blood Refining Realm pills when his success rate for low-grade Blood Refining Realm pills reached 50%.
There were many spiritual herbs for mid-grade Blood Refining Realm pills in the spiritual herb garden, but they were only enough for a few dozen batches. Therefore, Lu Ping had no choice but to spend a large amount of spirit stones to purchase them.
By the time Lu Ping had gathered enough spiritual herbs for 30 batches of low-grade Blood Refining Realm pills and 20 batches of mid-grade Blood Refining Realm pills, he had spent nearly a thousand spirit stones.
When Lu Ping returned to Xuan Qi Island, he immediately heard about an incident. The eldest son of Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Family, Qiao Xipeng, had led two of his family's cultivators to the sea between Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling Island to avenge his brother. They discovered the sea snake monster that had killed five Xuan Ling Sect cultivators at the reef island and engaged in a fierce battle.
In the end, one of the Qiao Family's Early Blood Condensation Realm cultivators died and the other was gravely injured. The sea snake monster also escaped with heavy injuries.
Since the incident took place in the area closest to Huang Li Island, Lu Ping was summoned by Master Immortal Liu the moment he returned to Xuan Qi Island.
I've already skinned the sea snake monster and pulled out its flesh. Why is there another one?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lu Ping went to Master Immortal Liu's cultivation room.
When Master Immortal Liu saw Lu Ping, he smiled and said, "Not bad. Your cultivation has improved a lot. I thought you would be the fourth Blood Condensation Realm cultivator in Group 7, but it seems like I've underestimated you."
Lu Ping quickly bowed and said, "It's all thanks to Master Immortal Liu's guidance."
Master Immortal Liu smiled and said, "Let's skip the formalities. I called you here because of the battle between our sect and Xuan Ling Sect. I believe you've heard about it."
Seeing that Lu Ping nodded, Master Immortal Liu continued, "It's normal for cultivators to fight to the death. However, this incident is related to the sea snake monster that killed Xuan Ling Sect's disciples at the reef island. Not only does it involve Zhenling Sect, but more importantly, it also involves the distant sea monster clans. We have no choice but to be vigilant."
Seeing that Lu Ping was listening attentively, Master Immortal Liu was very satisfied. He continued, "Both incidents happened very close to your Huang Li Island, so you need to pay special attention. I'm afraid that Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Clan will not let this matter rest. They will enter Huang Li Island's waters to search for the sea snake monster that escaped. "
Lu Ping was shocked. "Xuan Ling Sect thinks that the sea snake monster escaped to my Zhenling Sect's waters?"
Master Immortal Liu said, "We have to be careful. If that's the case, I, Zhenling, will have to step in and punish them for trespassing into our territory without permission."
After a short pause, Master Immortal Liu took out a talisman and handed it to Lu Ping. Lu Ping knew that this was a voice transmission talisman made by a Blood Condensation cultivator.
Master Immortal Liu said, "We need to increase the number of sea patrols in the near future, especially the area between Huang Li Island and Xuan Ling Sect. If you find anything, tear this voice transmission talisman. I and the other Master Immortals from Xuan Qi Island will rush over as soon as possible."
Huang Li Island was still as peaceful as ever. Lu Ping also started his necessary work, planting spiritual grains in the seven mu of spiritual fields. Thanks to Lu Ping's new spirit-urging technique, the spiritual grains' growth cycle was shortened from three months to two months. This also gave Lu Ping a new source of income.
He persisted in refining pills. With the support of a large amount of spiritual herbs, Lu Ping finally made some progress.
Other than the fixed cultivation time, Lu Ping had another task — sea patrols!
In fact, the island's Master Immortals had the duty to patrol the sea. It was just that the frequency and method of the patrols were not limited.
But this time, it was different.
