Lu Ping didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and changed the topic. "Uncle, I came back this time to expand the area of Huang Li Island. Uncle's strength has increased greatly after breaking through to the Transcendence Stage. I still need to rely on Uncle's help."
"Oh?"
Guo Tianshan Laozu's eyes lit up. "That's good. I just entered the Transcendence Stage and need a chance to practice. I want to see how strong I have become. I originally wanted to find Feng Xidao and have a fight, but now that I have been frozen by the Laozu, I can't show off. If I can use the 'Art of Moving and Filling the Sea' again, I can quickly adapt to my new cultivation."
After bidding farewell to Guo Tianshan Laozu, Lu Ping chose a cave that was open to the public. After entering, he sealed the cave completely. Looking at the decorations in the cave, he found that there were only some stone tables and chairs.
Lu Ping waved his hand and released Lu Qin-er. Lu Qin-er was originally cultivating and was preparing to break through to the Mid Core Forging Stage by integrating the dual-attribute low-grade Earth class Fire Wind Spirit that Yan Wujiu had given her.
In the House of Gold, although Lu Ping had buried three small Spirit Gathering Pearls at the foot of the Spirit Peach Tree and gradually formed three small spirit veins, most of the spirit veins were absorbed by the Spirit Peach Tree. Lu Qin-er didn't benefit much from cultivating at the side, so her cultivation progress was extremely slow. Now that they were at the peak of Tianling Mountain, the Spirit Qi was very rich. It was the perfect place for Little Qin 'er to break through to the Mid Core Forging Stage.
Lu Ping sat cross-legged on the stone bed. He didn't immediately go into closed-door cultivation. Instead, he touched his storage ring and a three-foot long boat appeared in front of Lu Ping. Then, it began to circle around Lu Ping.
Back then, Lu Ping was asked to stay in the cave-dwelling by Tian Xiang Grand Ancestor for a secret discussion. After Tian Xiang Grand Ancestor explained a few things to Lu Ping and hinted at the reason why he was being punished, Tian Xiang Grand Ancestor asked Lu Ping what reward he wanted.
Lu Ping's current strength wasn't any weaker than an ordinary Late Core Forging Stage cultivator. His only weakness was that he didn't have a good water-attribute flying treasure. Because of this, Lu Ping had almost suffered several losses in the Fallen Archipelago. Seeing Tian Xiang Laozu's inquiry, how could Lu Ping be polite? He opened his mouth and asked Tian Xiang Laozu for a flying treasure. Therefore, Tian Xiang Laozu gave this "Ocean Crossing Boat" to Lu Ping.
After Lu Ping received the "Ocean Crossing Boat", he scanned the treasure with his Divine Will. Only then did his heart skip a beat. He looked at Tian Xiang Laozu in surprise and said, "Uncle-Master, why are there seven treasures in this boat? Is this a soul-nurturing treasure?"
Tian Xiang Laozu smiled and said, "This" Ocean Crossing Boat "was a treasure that the Old Man was proud of in his early years. Unfortunately, its material was limited. After condensing seven treasures to become a soul-nurturing treasure, it couldn't improve any further. Now that the Old Man has entered the late Dharma stage, this boat is no longer of any use to the Old Man, so I might as well give it to you!"
Lu Ping hurriedly wanted to refuse, but Tian Xiang Laozu had already waved him off. Lu Ping had no choice but to accept the soul-nurturing treasure with excitement.
This was the first soul-nurturing treasure that Lu Ping had obtained. A soul-nurturing treasure required at least seven treasures, and was a treasure of a higher level than a soul-nurturing treasure.
A soul-nurturing treasure was also rarer than a soul-nurturing treasure. Although a soul-nurturing treasure could be used by a late Core Forging adept, in reality, many Dharma adepts like Laozu only used soul-nurturing treasures. Most late Core Forging adepts still used soul-nurturing treasures with five or six treasures.
Lu Ping had obtained a few storage treasures from late Core Forging adepts, but he had never found a soul-nurturing treasure among them. This showed how rare soul-nurturing treasures were in the world of practice.
As a Spirit Nurturing Treasure, the Ocean Crossing Ship required an enormous amount of Zhen Yuan to operate. Although Lu Ping was only a Sixth Layer Core Forging Realm cultivator, his Zhen Yuan was no longer at the Late Core Forging Realm. Only then would he be able to operate a Spirit Nurturing Treasure at the Mid Core Forging Realm.
Lu Ping spent a few days refining the Ocean Crossing Boat before putting it into his Core Space to nurture.
Although Lu Ping had never tested the speed of the Ocean Crossing Boat, since it allowed Tian Xiang Laozu to use it until the Dharma stage, it was obvious that the speed of the Ocean Crossing Boat was not slow.
After successfully refining the Ocean Crossing Boat, Lu Ping was still not in a hurry to break through his cultivation bottleneck. Instead, he quietly spent a year to polish his cultivation foundation.
During this time, Lu Ping's cultivation rose too quickly. Whether it was the bloodline of the twelve poisonous beasts in the Fallen Archipelago, the Pure Yang Qi that stimulated the source of the magic treasure, or the Heavenly Flower Dew after passing the tribulation, none of these would damage Lu Ping's foundation. However, out of caution, Lu Ping still spent a year carefully examining and polishing his own cultivation process from beginning to end. It wasn't until he discovered that his cultivation wasn't damaged because of his rapid progress, and that Lu Ping's cultivation couldn't progress any further, that he decided to break through the bottleneck of the late Core Forging stage.
Lu Ping first drew out a portion of the Ten Thousand Wonder Dew from the Ten Thousand Poison Pool. A majestic vitality suddenly wrapped around Lu Ping's body.
Lu Ping tried to use his own bloodline to fuse with it. Although Lu Ping's cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth layer of the Core Forging stage, Lu Ping's bloodline showed no signs of fusing with the spirit item and breaking through the bottleneck.
However, this wasn't out of Lu Ping's expectations. After Lu Ping thought for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He opened his left hand and a palm-sized blood stone appeared in Lu Ping's palm.
This blood stone was the one Lu Ping had obtained when he had disguised himself as a Transcendence Stage cultivator to help the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Carefree Sect. Lu Ping had asked Lyra Laozu to give up an earth-grade spirit item in exchange for it.
When Lu Ping had first seen this blood stone, the blood in his body seemed to have suddenly boiled, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The six strange flood dragons in the golden core jumped up and down, and it was very lively. It seemed that everything was urging Lu Ping to quickly obtain this blood stone.
When Lu Ping saw this blood stone, the blood in his body seemed to suddenly boil, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The six strange flood dragons in the golden core jumped up and down, and it was very lively. It seemed that everything was urging Lu Ping to quickly obtain this blood stone.
Lu Ping grasped the bloodstone in his hand, and a wisp of blue true essence mixed with a trace of purple tightly wrapped around the bloodstone.
Lu Ping did not refine the Snow Melting Pill or the Gold Core into elixirs like he did before. Instead, he used his Quintessential Essence to slowly wash the blood stone in his hand. In the circulation of the Quintessential Essence, the mysterious bloodline essence contained in the blood stone was slowly taken away from the blood stone.
Lu Ping could clearly feel that as his Quintessential Essence flowed through the bloodstone in his hand, something was constantly flowing away. However, this process was extremely slow, but Lu Ping was still very patient. This was because every time the Quintessential Essence flowed out of the bloodstone and into Lu Ping's blood vessels, Lu Ping could clearly feel that his cultivation that had fallen into a bottleneck was like the water in a pond that was being widened. Suddenly, there was room for improvement.
While Lu Ping was absorbing the bloodline essence in the bloodstone to expand the capacity of his bloodline and Quintessential Essence, he had to start cultivating so that his cultivation could reach saturation again.
Another two years passed, and Lu Ping's clenched left hand suddenly loosened. A silver stone suddenly turned into powder and fell from his fingers. The bloodline essence in the bloodstone had been completely absorbed by Lu Ping.
At this time, Lu Ping's Divine Sense penetrated the core space. Above the huge Gold Core, the six strange dragons were still chasing and playing, but this time the strange dragons were different from before.
The original strange dragons had the body of a snake, the legs of a crocodile, the tail of a carp, and the antlers of a deer. After Lu Ping absorbed the bloodline of twelve poisonous beasts in the Fallen Archipelago, these characteristics of the strange dragons became more and more obvious, and their bodies grew larger.
After absorbing the bloodline essence contained in the bloodstone, the bodies of the six monstrous wyrms once again underwent obvious changes. Several branches grew out of the antlers on the monstrous wyrms' heads, and sharp claws protruded from the soles of their four thick crocodile-like legs. The scales on their slender bodies became brighter and brighter, even being dyed with a faint layer of gold.
Just when Lu Ping was a little disappointed that the appearance of the strange dragons would not change, on the side of the two antlers on the strange dragons' heads, a pair of ox-like ears suddenly appeared on both sides of the strange dragons' heads.
Lu Ping was overjoyed. He reached out and pointed at the Wonder Dew that was slowly flowing around him. His Quintessential Essence wrapped around it and was about to enter the core space to refine it.
However, to Lu Ping's surprise, the Wonder Dew still could not be refined by Lu Ping.
Lu Ping frowned and seemed a little puzzled. Recalling the process of Lu Ping's breakthrough, Lu Ping suddenly understood. At this time, after Lu Ping's bloodline essence was opened up by the bloodline essence in the bloodstone, Lu Ping's bloodline could accommodate more Quintessential Essence, and there was room for further improvement. At this time, Lu Ping obviously had not yet cultivated his own cultivation to the saturation state.
Another year passed like this. With the help of the rich Lingqi in the large spiritual vein on top of Tian Ling Mountain, Lu Ping finally cultivated his own body to the saturation state and touched the bottleneck of the late stage of Core Forging.
This time, Lu Ping's Gold Core was finally able to fuse with the Wonder Dew Dew!
When Lu Ping broke through to the middle stage of Core Forging, the first time he smelted heaven and earth was the low-grade Profound Essence Heavy Water. This kind of heaven and earth treasure made it necessary for Lu Ping to choose heaven and earth spirit water of a higher grade than the Profound Essence Heavy Water when he advanced to the late stage of Core Forging.
Of course, if Lu Ping smelted a high-grade earth-grade spirit item at this time, there would be no problem. On the contrary, the smelting process would become very simple, and there would not be any obstacles for Lu Ping to advance to the Transcendence Stage in the future.
However, Lu Ping was a proud and arrogant person. How could he allow the second time he smelted heaven and earth spirit item to be inferior to the first time?
