For some reason, Lu Ping saw a trace of envy in the Longhuai Ancestor's eyes as the little peach tree returned to the spatial magic tool. Even though the person before him was only a puppet, an avatar, Lu Ping could still sense a strong fluctuation of emotions from it.
The Longhuai Ancestor let out a long sigh. He straightened his palm and slammed it down on the ground. A crack about a meter wide immediately split open, and an aura that was also filled with vitality but all-encompassing spread out from the depths of the crack.
As the aura grew thicker and thicker, it was as if something was about to charge out from the depths of the crack.
However, before the thing in the crack could emerge from the ground, a plump body suddenly scuttled out of the ground in a panic. When it landed on the ground, its small eyes darted around, and it quickly noticed Lu Ping and the Longhuai Ancestor. It was about to run away, but it immediately stopped.
When Lu Ping saw Dabao scuttling out of the ground, he naturally knew what the Longhuai Ancestor was about to do. He immediately blushed, and was about to explain something to the Longhuai Ancestor when he saw that the Longhuai Ancestor did not even look at Dabao. Instead, he looked at the crack that had opened up in the ground with a rather solemn expression.
A moment later, a tree root that was clearly rather listless reached out from the depths of the crack. At the front of the root was a dark but yellowish piece of soil, its surface shining with a nameless luster.
The root brought the piece of soil directly to the Longhuai Ancestor. The Longhuai Ancestor weighed the piece of soil in his hand, and suddenly threw it into the spatial passageway of the House of Gold.
At this moment, the little peach tree had already entered the House of Gold. The spatial passageway of the House of Gold had already been closed by Lu Ping, and only ripples remained in the air.
However, when the clod in Patriarch Long Huai's hand flew into the fluctuating air, a half-foot-wide hole was forced open in the spatial passageway that had been closed. The clod passed through the hole and disappeared, and the forcefully opened hole was immediately restored to its original state.
Lu Ping's spiritual will was focused on the little peach tree that was falling towards the ground. At this moment, the soil in the Longhuai Ancestor's hand forcefully broke through the spatial passage of the Golden House and appeared within the space of the Golden House.
Just as Lu Ping was stunned, this piece of soil, which was emitting a nameless luster, fell straight to the roots of the small peach tree, and disappeared as soon as it touched the ground.
Even so, Lu Ping was able to clearly see the dirt block the moment it appeared in the Golden House.
When Lu Ping saw that the little peach tree was safe and sound in the Golden House, he turned around and said to the Longhuai Ancestor, "Senior, I thank you on behalf of the little peach tree for your generous gift."
The Longhuai Ancestor didn't seem to hear Lu Ping's words, and murmured, "The Old Man was wrong to leave you here. The Old Man has been trapped here for 10,000 years, and he has always wanted to escape the shackles of this fence, to see the vast world of cultivation. Now, how can he trap you here like the Old Man!"
Dabao was discovered sneaking underground, and he thought that he would be punished. Unexpectedly, the two people in front of him didn't even say a word to him.
Dabao was secretly delighted, and before he knew it, his legs had already sunk more than half into the ground.
Just as Dabao was about to dive into the ground and escape, he saw Lu Ping's foot lightly stop, and Dabao suddenly felt that the entire ground had suddenly turned into a hard piece of steel. Caught off guard, Dabao's head slammed into the ground, and he immediately let out a cry of pain. When he raised his head, his right hand was covering his forehead, and there was a huge bump.
Dabao jumped down, wanting to pull out his legs from the ground. Unexpectedly, his legs were also stuck in the ground, and he couldn't pull them out. Dabao could only half-bury himself in the ground, and he looked at Lu Ping pitifully.
Lu Ping was annoyed that Dabao was too greedy and daring. If this was in the cave of any cultivator in the cultivation world, after the owner found out about Dabao's behavior, even if he killed him, Lu Ping couldn't say anything. Lu Ping just wanted to punish Dabao, so that he would remember that there were some people that he couldn't afford to offend.
"Take out everything you've found!"
Lu Ping looked at Dabao and said coldly.
Although Dabao was greedy, he was smarter and more sensible. Looking at Lu Ping's face and listening to his tone, he immediately knew that he couldn't get away with it today, so he simply took out all his harvest from the underground.
Among Lu Ping's several spiritual pets, Dabao had the most storage celestial devices. Firstly, Dabao deliberately asked for them from Lu Ping; secondly, Dabao had too many miscellaneous things, so he naturally needed a lot of storage celestial devices.
Most of these things were things that Lu Ping didn't need or had eliminated, and a few of them were things that Dabao traded for himself. Huang Li Island's mysterious underground merchant "Bao Ye" was quite famous among the low-level cultivators on the island. There were also some things that Dabao had obtained from Lu Ping's expeditions over the years.
Dabao first took out a storage bag from the right side of his waist and fiddled with it. Then, he retracted his hand and opened his palm. A total of eight miniature Spirit Gathering Pearls appeared on his palm.
Lu Ping was expressionless, but Longhuai Ancestor looked at Dabao with interest.
Dabao was used to reading people's expressions. Seeing Longhuai Ancestor's expression, he immediately knew that he wouldn't be punished too much, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, looking at Lu Ping's expression, Dabao immediately sighed. It was impossible for him to hide any treasures.
Dabao took out a storage bracelet from his bosom, and Dabao took out two withered roots from it.
These two roots were obviously withered, but the surface of the flexible roots still exuded a special luster. Obviously, the quality of these two treasures were much better than second-class mutated spiritual materials.
Dabao looked at the motionless Lu Ping, and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head with his fat hand. When he retracted his hand, he conveniently pulled out a thin rope from his neck. The thin rope was tied to a small storage bag. Dabao shook the small storage bag from top to bottom, and five miniature Spirit Gathering Pearls that were twice the size of the previous Spirit Gathering Pearls appeared in Dabao's hands.
This time, the corner of Lu Ping's eyes finally twitched, but he still looked at Dabao without saying a word.
Dabao had no choice but to say, "Boss, spare me. I do have two things that I obtained from underground, but they were both placed in the insoles made from storage bags under my feet. Now that I'm trapped in the soil, I can't take them out!"
Lu Ping was half angered by Dabao's answer. In the world of cultivation, only a fool like Dabao could think of such a lousy idea that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
The Longhuai Ancestor finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and suddenly burst into laughter. The sky suddenly seemed to dance with the wind and thunder. When Lu Ping looked up, he saw that high up in the sky, the main body of the Dragon Locust Tree seemed to be laughing at Dabao's shameless methods. However, the result of laughing was a violent turbulence in the surrounding Spirit Qi. In an instant, the intensity of the Spirit Qi actually exceeded that of when Lu Ping and the others first entered the Meridian Incubation Spirit Cultivation Formation.
Then, a violent wind swept past, and the shallow lake formed by the Dew of Thousand Fragrances was suddenly blown to the bottom. Even the Wonder Dew hidden at the bottom of the lake jumped up from the wind.
A loud and terrifying "wu wu" sound came from the small forest around the lake, and the trees that needed two people to wrap their arms around were blown back and forth, as if they could not stand still.
The violent turbulence did not stop. Instead, it continued to move towards the Meridian Incubation Spirit Cultivation Formation.
However, this was only the situation at the roots of the Dragon Locust Tree. As the Dragon Locust Tree swayed in the sky, who knew what kind of turbulence it would cause in the Fallen Archipelago. Lu Ping now knew that the Firmament of Myriad Poisons was built on the Dragon Locust Tree. Lu Ping looked at the consequences of the Longhuai Ancestor's inability to control its emotions in shock. He could not help but glare fiercely at Dabao. However, when the wind blew, Dabao bent down and gripped the ground tightly, as if he was afraid that the wind would break him.
The Longhuai Ancestor stopped laughing and pointed at Dabao as he said with a smile, "Young Brother, this spirit pet of yours is really shameless. He was actually able to think of such a method. Forget it, let me ask you, do you know what those two treasures that were hidden beneath my feet are?"
Da Bao's spirits shook, and he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Senior, one is an earth-attribute Wondrous Sulfuric Ore, and the other is an earth-attribute low-grade earth-rank fey, Flying Yu Stone. Both were found at the end of Senior's roots. Junior originally also discovered a fey that seemed to be even more formidable, but just when Junior was about to flee there, Senior noticed and captured it."
Lu Ping grunted coldly and said, "Do you really think that your Earth Escape Technique is unknown? If it wasn't for Senior Long Huai capturing you from beneath the ground, you would have perished a long time ago. " When he saw Dabao was slightly puzzled, Lu Ping asked once more. "Do you know what sort of treasure is the even more formidable Flying Yu Stone that you discovered earlier?"
Dabao's spirits were refreshed, and he said, "Boss, that wouldn't be the Breathing Earth, right?"
Lu Ping sneered. "You aren't stupid. The Breathing Earth is called the Boundless Earth. With your cultivation, once you come into contact with the Breathing Earth's main body, then the enormous spirituality contained within the Breathing Earth's mid-grade heaven-rank Flying Yu Stone would counterattack. Even if you're an earth attribute demon beast that's skilled in Earth Escape Technique, you would still be crushed into a meat patty!"
Dabao broke out in cold sweat from what Lu Ping said. Only now did he realize that after he advanced to the Core Forging Realm, he'd actually become slightly arrogant by relying on the great improvement of his Earth Escape Technique. Now it would seem like his actions were simply extremely laughable in the eyes of those cultivators that were truly capable.
Meanwhile, the Longhuai Ancestor said, "I've already said it earlier. So long as this little mouse demon is able to find a treasure that he recognizes, then the Old Man will give these things to him. Now that he's found these things, the Old Man won't go back on his word, so you can take these things."
Dabao was delighted when he heard this, but he didn't dare act rashly this time, and he looked at Lu Ping.
