Lu Ping didn't hide the faction he established in the Fallen Mystic Realm from the sect. He even got Tian Xiang Laozu's secret support, even though Lu Ping's faction was just one of the 72 small factions under the Northern Alliance.
Li Xuanru heard Lu Ping's urgency and quickly asked, "Did something happen on the island? Do you need me to go with you? Should I inform Jing Zhe Island's Uncle-Master Tian Xiang and the seniors of our sect? "
Lu Ping was touched, but he shook his head and smiled, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, it's not that serious. It's an old friend who came to visit. I've received his kindness in the past, so I can't be impolite. I should welcome him personally."
It had been a few decades since Chi Lianying left Listening Waves Island. Chi Lianying stuck to the plan Lu Ping set before he left, keeping a low profile and doing his best to manage the island. After a few decades, Chi Lianying and the others had managed Listening Waves Island and the nearby islands to a thriving state. With the alchemy grandmaster Yue Jiangrui, the cultivators on Listening Waves Island had also established a relatively complete cultivation system.
On this day, a streak of light arrived outside Soundwave Island. Several cultivators patrolling outside the island immediately stopped in the sky and looked at the streak of light that had slowed down and was slowly descending towards them.
When a young cultivator in his twenties walked out from the light, the patrolling cultivator scanned him with his divine sense. His face turned solemn and he quickly bowed, "Greetings, Senior. May I know why Senior is here on Soundwave Island? I can report to my superiors!"
Lu Ping looked at the cultivators in front of him. They were all Blood Condensation cultivators. The leader was at mid Blood Condensation while the other four were early Blood Condensation cultivators.
"Zhang Tou!"
A cultivator with a delicate face suddenly appeared behind the leader. He pointed at Lu Ping and said excitedly, "He, he's the Island Lord!"
"Island Lord?"
Not only Zhang Tou, but the other cultivators also looked at Lu Ping in surprise, "Island Lord? No way, I heard our Soundwave Island Lord has been traveling the world for decades. Scarlet Serpent Fairy has always been in charge of the island. Little Sima, are you sure this is the Island Lord? "
Lu Ping looked at the young cultivator in front of him and smiled, "Little Sima, I didn't expect it to be you. Didn't I arrange for you to be an apprentice in the Li Clan's spirit herb shop? Why are you here on Soundwave Island?"
The one who recognized Lu Ping was Lu Ping's young guide boy, Little Sima. At the time, Little Sima was only six or seven years old, but his mind was very clear. He always wanted to learn skills from Lu Ping, but Lu Ping didn't like Little Sima's shrewdness at such a young age. Thus, he only casually passed on some knowledge of spirit herbs to him and asked the Li Clan to arrange a position for him as a clerk in a spirit herb shop. This could be considered as giving him a starting point.
As Little Sima saw that Lu Ping actually recognized him, he trembled with excitement. He quickly bowed and said, "Several years ago when the Carefree Faction was established, the Li Clan joined the Carefree Faction. The entire clan moved to Carefree Island where the Carefree Faction was founded. This junior is only an apprentice and doesn't have the qualifications to follow the Li Clan to Carefree Island. This junior knows that Soundwave Island is the influence that Senior established, so I decided to join Senior. "
As Lu Ping heard Little Sima's words, he was surprised. "The Li Clan actually left Three Family Island? Does that mean that the forces sent by the Carefree Faction are now stationed on Three Family Island? "
Little Sima said with admiration, "That's right. Currently, the Carefree Faction has established a Carefree Pavilion on Three Family Island. There are two Core Forging realm cultivators and over 20 Blood Condensation realm cultivators guarding the territory of the Li Clan."
Lu Ping nodded. He turned to the cultivator leading the group of five and said, "Go and tell Chi Lianying that we have returned."
The cultivator leading the group bowed towards Lu Ping and said, "Senior, please wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he turned and flew towards Soundwave Island.
Soundwave Island was originally the name of the 18 small islands in the periphery of the Fallen Mystic Realm. However, after Lu Ping expelled the Wang Clan's forces from Cang Ling Island, Lu Ping moved his clan's base to Cang Ling Island. Thus, Cang Ling Island was renamed Soundwave Island.
A moment later, dozens of rays of light suddenly rose from Soundwave Island and flew towards Lu Ping.
A green light flashed in Lu Ping's eyes, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curved into a smile.
These dozens of rays of light were led by Hong Ying, Ye Buqi, Wu Yan, and the others. They were all the original members of Lu Ping's group. Currently, Hong Ying and Ye Buqi were both at Core Forging Realm Level 2. However, Ye Buqi had obviously caught up and was not far from breaking through to Core Forging Realm Level 3.
Wu Yan was still at Core Forging Realm Level 1. With his aptitude, it was already Lu Ping's special method that allowed him to advance to Core Forging Realm. If he wanted to advance further, it was almost impossible for him to rely on his own hard work.
Among Ye Buqi's six brothers, two had also advanced to Core Forging Realm, which made Lu Ping feel very gratified.
From afar, everyone saw Lu Ping hovering in the sky with his hands clasped behind his back. Hong Ying and Wu Yan were overjoyed. They hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Master! We haven't seen each other for decades. Is Master well? "
Lu Ping chuckled and waved his sleeves. Hong Ying and the others suddenly felt their bodies being lifted by an irresistible force. In their hearts, they were even more in awe of Lu Ping's unfathomable strength.
Lu Ping walked forward, and Ye Buqi and Ye Buqi also hurriedly saluted. Lu Ping looked at Ye Buqi and said, "Your cultivation is about to break through to Core Forging Realm Level 3. Not bad. You cultivate a metal-attribute cultivation method. If you reach the peak of Core Forging Realm, I will give you an opportunity to see if you can advance to Core Forging Realm Level 2. If you can advance to Core Forging Realm Level 2, I will recommend you to our sect as an outer disciple."
Hong Ying and Ye Buqi's brothers revealed envious expressions. Only Wu Yan's expression was calm. He knew that he couldn't even advance to the Core Forging Stage. Now, he was lucky enough to advance to the Core Forging Stage. As for advancing to the Mid Core Forging Stage, Wu Yan had never thought about it.
Since Lu Ping had such a guarantee, the opportunity Lu Ping was talking about naturally referred to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure. Advancing to Core Forging Realm Level 2 and becoming Zhenling's outer disciple meant that Lu Ping would remove the restriction placed on Ye Buqi's Divine Sense and restore his freedom.
In the past, Lu Ping built Soundwaves Island with his bare hands, but he didn't have anyone he could trust. He could only use Hong Ying, Wu Yan, Ye Buqi, and the others to plant restrictions in their Divine Senses using a secret technique. He controlled their lives so that Lu Ping could command them without worry.
Now, Lu Ping's cultivation was gradually increasing. With the help of Chi Lianying and Yin Xuanchu, he was able to control Soundwaves Island more and more easily. Hong Ying and the others had also completely integrated into Lu Ping's system. Lu Ping was not afraid that after he removed the restriction on them, they would have second thoughts again.
When he arrived at Soundwaves Island, Chi Lianying, Yin Xuanchu, and Yue Jiangrui were already waiting outside the cave residence.
When Lu Ping saw Yue Jiangrui, he laughed and said, "Brother Yue, the ten-year period has long passed, but Brother Yue still stayed. I can't thank you enough!"
Yue Jiangrui smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. I can stay on the island completely because of Miss Chi Lianying. Now, not only me, but even the younger generation of my family has come to Soundwaves Island. My Yue Clan is already a part of Soundwaves Island."
Lu Ping looked at Chi Lianying with admiration, but he still said to Yue Jiangrui, "In any case, Brother Yue, as an alchemy grandmaster, joining a small force like Soundwaves Island is more or less a waste of your talent."
After exchanging greetings, Chi Lianying sent everyone away to perform their duties, leaving only Yue Jiangrui, Yin Xuanchu, Hong Ying, and the other high-level cultivators of Soundwaves Island.
Only then did Lu Ping ask, "Where is he? How long has he been here?"
Chi Lianying said, "He arrived at Soundwaves Island after the Phantom Auction and has been staying on Soundwaves Island ever since. When we received the news from Hong Ying, you should have just entered the Fallen Archipelago. However, he has not left Soundwaves Island and has been waiting for you to return."
Lu Ping nodded and took the lead to walk into the cave mansion.
As soon as Lu Ping stepped into the cave mansion, a wave of Spiritual Qi hit him in the face. Lu Ping sensed it for a while and said in surprise, "What a rich Spiritual Qi. There must be more than three small Spiritual Veins in the cave mansion, right?"
Chi Lianying giggled and said, "A total of four, one of which is specially led to the secret room where that person is."
Wu Yan also chimed in at this time, "Our Listening Waves Island has been developing steadily over the years. Not only do we have four small spiritual veins on the island, but the other mini islands under our control have also cultivated at least one small spiritual vein each. Now, the mini islands under our jurisdiction have become famous treasure islands in the periphery of the Fallen Secret Land.
"Not bad!"
Lu Ping smiled with satisfaction.
As they spoke, they arrived outside a secret room in the cave mansion. This was the secret room that Lu Ping used when he was on Soundwaves Island.
Lu Ping looked at the few people behind him, and Chi Lianying and the others all left.
Lu Ping turned to the door of the secret room and said loudly, "Senior, are you inside? Junior Lu Ping is here!"
"Oh," a hearty laugh came from the secret room. "Lu Xiaoyou is here? The Old Man has been waiting for you for a long time. "
Lu Ping reached out and pushed the stone door open. A heatwave that could turn ordinary people into ashes rushed out from the secret room.
A layer of dark blue light immediately appeared on the surface of Lu Ping's body. The incandescent heatwave rushed in front of Lu Ping and was immediately blocked by the blue light. It could not hurt Lu Ping at all.
The incandescent heatwave rushed out from the stone door. Although it could not hurt Lu Ping, the heatwave raged and the entire passageway was instantly shrouded in high temperature.
The blue light on the surface of Lu Ping's body surged and a cool feeling spread out. A layer of white fog immediately filled the cave mansion. The heatwave that rushed out from the secret room was immediately suppressed and shrank back into the secret room.
"I haven't seen you for decades. Lu Xiaoyou's cultivation has improved greatly. Congratulations!"
An old man wearing a feather robe was sitting cross-legged opposite the stone door of the secret room. In front of him was a meter-long pill cauldron that was emitting white smoke.
