When he thought of the [Avatar] technique, Lu Ping couldn't help but think of the Nine Segments White Jade Lotus Root he obtained from the Land of Hundred Flowers. It was also a top-grade spirit material that could be used to refine an avatar, and its quality wasn't inferior to a grade-3 top-grade spirit material. However, Lu Ping was more interested in the Nine Segments White Jade Lotus Root's ability to strengthen his body. Besides, Lu Ping's alchemy skills were about to break through to the Grandmaster level, so he didn't plan to use the Nine Segments White Jade Lotus Root to refine an avatar.
Seeing that Lu Ping was deep in thought, the middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Little friend, are you interested in this External Avatar Technique?"
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. In the cultivation world, it was taboo for cultivators to be greedy. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood me. I was just thinking about something else. I've already obtained Senior's permission to use the flowers here to make the Purple Crystal Honey, and I've also obtained Senior's Hundred Flower Dew's refining method. These are already great benefits for me, how can I be greedy?"
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said, "These are not important things. If Little friend wants them, this Old Man will teach Little friend this secret technique."
Lu Ping quickly declined. The more generous the middle-aged cultivator was, the more willing Lu Ping was, but his reason made Lu Ping even more vigilant. If Lu Ping accepted all the benefits from the other party, if the other party had a request in the future, it would be fine if the request wasn't difficult, but if the other party was so attentive, the request would most likely be extremely difficult for Lu Ping. At that time, if Lu Ping couldn't do it, wouldn't he be at the other party's mercy?
The middle-aged cultivator seemed to understand Lu Ping's concerns and continued, "Although this sea of flowers is under my protection, I only hope that one of them can awaken its spiritual consciousness and become a spirit demon. However, after tens of thousands of years, there are a few types of spirit plants that have grown to their limit, but in the end, they couldn't break through and had no choice but to perish. As for the other spirit plants, most of them wither after three thousand years, and those that reach five thousand years are extremely rare."
The middle-aged Xiu paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Trees that are able to break through the five thousand year limit, this old man has carefully cultivated them. Unfortunately, none of them were able to transform into a Spirit Demon like this old man did. In the end, their vitality dissipated. My avatar used a withered nine thousand year old apricot tree."
Hearing this, the corner of Lu Ping's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He heard the middle-aged cultivator continue, "Therefore, the sea of flowers and the 'Hundred Flower Dew' may be extremely precious things in your eyes, but in the eyes of the Old Man, they are just ordinary scenery and spiritual tea used to entertain guests.
"Moreover, the nectar collected by your Amethyst Bees is of great help to the growth of the sea of flowers. In this way, you can be considered to have helped the Old Man a little. Therefore, little friend, there is no need to thank the Old Man, and the Old Man does not need you to repay him!"
In the end, Lu Ping didn't accept the middle-aged cultivator's External Avatar technique for free. Instead, he repeatedly said that he wouldn't accept a reward without doing anything.
The middle-aged cultivator didn't say anything, and Lu Ping couldn't sense anything strange from the face of the Sentient Tree's External Avatar.
Although the External Avatar was refined crudely, at least it made it impossible for Lu Ping to guess the thoughts of the Sentient Tree through the changes in its expression.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, and then he asked with a serious expression, "Although I know that it might be inappropriate to ask such a question, I am truly surprised in my heart. I don't know how old Senior is, but I have never seen a towering tree like Senior in the cultivation world. There are countless people with extraordinary abilities in the cultivation world. Could it be that no one has been able to discover Senior's true body in the past 10,000 years?"
When the middle-aged cultivator heard Lu Ping's question, he seemed to have expected it, and he said with a smile, "It's already beyond the expectations of the Old Man that you were able to wait until now to speak of the questions in your heart."
After saying that, the middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment, and he seemed to be organizing his words. Only then did he raise his head to look at Lu Ping, and he asked a question that stunned Lu Ping. "Lu Xiaoyou, have you heard of Long Huai?"
Long Huai, Long Huai!
Why does the word 'Dragon' exist in this world?
Even though Lu Ping called the Divine Ability that made his master famous, Liu Tianling, 'Waterspout', that was only an analogy that Lu Ping used in private, and Liu Tianling Laozu's Innate Divine Ability wasn't actually called by this name.
Since Lu Ping entered the cultivation world, he'd once paid attention to whether there were any legends of 'Dragons' in this world, but he'd never heard any information related to 'Dragons'. Thus, Lu Ping had always suppressed this secret at the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Lu Ping frowned when he heard the words' Long Huai 'from the middle-aged cultivator, and the blood in his veins instantly sped up. His heart thumped strongly a few times in succession, and the six strange snakes on the surface of the enormous Gold Core in his core space raised their heads to the sky and let out a roar that only Lu Ping could hear, and it instantly woke Lu Ping up from his daze.
Lu Ping followed along with his dazed expression and asked, "Long Huai? What treasure is this? Could it be that Senior's true body is called Long Huai? In that case, Long Huai is a tree? "
The middle-aged cultivator took a deep look at Lu Ping, and then explained with a smile, "That's right. The Old Man's true body is a Long Huai tree. Looking at Lu Xiaoyou's expression, I'm afraid that even you don't know about it. Presumably, there's no Long Huai tree like the Old Man in the cultivation world outside. As for why the Old Man is called 'Long Huai', even the Old Man himself doesn't know. He only knows that when the Old Man awakened his spiritual sense and turned into a spirit demon, he once found a slate in front of the Old Man's true body. The Old Man curiously probed the slate with his spiritual sense, and suddenly heard a voice say in the Old Man's ear, 'Your name is Long Huai'. In addition, there's a set of cultivation techniques, and a set of External Incarnation magic arts. "
Lu Ping was surprised. "Could it be that Senior was planted by a great cultivator with Divine Ability in the cultivation world? But how many years has it been since Senior awakened his spiritual sense, and how long has Senior's true body, the giant tree, been growing for? "
The middle-aged cultivator said, "That must be the case. At the moment when the Old Man awakened his spiritual sense and turned into a spirit demon, the Myriad Poison Firmament Wall already existed by relying on the branches of the Old Man's true body. The Vein Breeding Spirit Nurturing Array also turned the main distribution of the Old Man's roots into a place like a paradise. It has been 24,000 years since the Old Man awakened his spiritual sense. Before the awakening, he was muddle-headed. I don't know how many years have passed. But with the nourishment of the spirit vein and the nourishment of many treasures, he didn't need to be nurtured for 10,000 years like other spirit demons. But I think it would be difficult to achieve his wish without 5,000 to 6,000 years. "
Lu Ping took a deep breath in his heart. To be able to awaken a spiritual sense in 5,000 to 6,000 years, then in addition to the nourishment of the giant spirit vein, the other treasures of this giant spirit tree must be extraordinary. However, the question that came out of his mouth also shocked him. "5,000 to 6,000 years? In addition, Senior has cultivated for 24,000 years. Doesn't that mean that Senior was planted by a cultivator from 30,000 years ago? And the Myriad Poison Firmament Wall was actually arranged by the branches of Senior's true body. How many people in the cultivation world could do such a thing 30,000 years ago? Is Senior really the work of the Seventh Patriarch? "
The middle-aged cultivator was silent for a long time before he said, "You must have heard the legend of the formation of the Fallen Archipelago?"
When Lu Ping heard the words "Long Huai", his heart was already in turmoil, but he still looked surprised. "Is the legend true? Is the Fallen Archipelago really formed by Jiao Daoren's filthy blood? Is it possible that Senior was planted by Jiao Daoren himself? Otherwise, why would the Myriad Poison Firmament Wall be supported for tens of thousands of years with Senior's branches as the eye of the formation? "
The middle-aged cultivator was silent for a long time, as if he had some unspeakable difficulties. Even though it was such an avatar, Lu Ping could sense some different emotions from it at this moment. It seemed to be gratitude, suspicion, anger, and helplessness mixed together, which was unpredictable.
Just when Lu Ping didn't know what to say, the middle-aged cultivator suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not worry about these things for now. After talking for so long, Lu Xiaoyou still doesn't know the name of the Old Man. Since the Old Man's true body is the Long Huai Tree, then let's just call it the Long Huai."
Lu Ping hurriedly congratulated, "Junior greets the Longhuai Ancestor!"
The Longhuai Ancestor got up and walked around the trunk of the huge Long Huai Tree in another direction. As he walked, he said, "Come, the Old Man will bring you to the other side of the Old Man's true body. The Old Man is very eager to see the little peach tree in your spatial artifact, but the environment here is not suitable."
Lu Ping got up and was about to follow when he sensed a disturbance in his divine sense. When he turned to look, he found that the spiritual energy in the surroundings, which seemed peaceful due to the suppression of the huge tree, was now turbulent and gathering in the direction of the House of Gold.
The gathering of the spiritual energy did not last for a long time, nor did it cause too great of a phenomenon. The main reason was that the concentration of the spiritual energy in this place was too thick.
Immediately after, a slightly immature divine sense spread out from the House of Gold. Lu Ping was overjoyed. He waved his hand to open a spatial passage to the House of Gold. A green and a khaki light flew out one after another under Lu Ping's astonished gaze.
"Hehe!"
Dabao's evil laughter came from the khaki light. Luan Yu's voice also came from the green light. She said, "I knew that you would release the Amethyst Queen Bee when she advanced to the Core Forging Stage. That's why I've been waiting for you to open the spatial passage. Where are you? Why have I already sensed the auras of several treasures that can promote the growth of spiritual herbs?"
Without waiting for Lu Ping to explain, Dabao's voice also sounded, "Master, there are many treasures here. Dabao will definitely be able to find them one by one. Let's go and dig up all these treasures first. However, let's make this clear. You must give me, Dabao, a third of the treasures we find! "
Lu Ping's face was full of black lines. He looked awkwardly at the shocked Longhuai Ancestor and said, "Senior, please don't laugh at me. One of them is a good friend of mine from the Demon Race. He is an expert in cultivating spiritual herbs. The other one is a spiritual pet that I raised since it was young. It has always been arrogant and willful. Please don't blame them for being reckless."
