Dabao glanced at Lu Ping, then turned to Du Jialuo and asked, "Brat, did you accidentally eat some kind of treasure when you were young?"
Du Jialuo revealed a surprised expression and said, "Immortal, you must be joking. How could I have such fortune? Otherwise, I would probably have become an Immortal by now. Why would I still need to fish on this river?"
Lu Ping, who was listening to the conversation, saw a trace of vigilance in Du Jialuo's eyes when he saw the surprise on Du Jialuo's face. Lu Ping smiled silently.
The small boat followed the flow of the river, and after another hour, a towering lone peak appeared in the distance. Du Jialuo used all his strength to push the long pole, and the small boat slid forward for nearly ten feet. When he took the opportunity to retract the pole, he said with a smile, "Immortals, please take a look. We're almost at the Lone Peak of the Heavenly Mountain where the Remnants of Ying Tian are located."
Lu Ping looked at the Lone Peak that stood like a sharp sword from afar. He couldn't help but say curiously, "Eh? The Lone Peak of Sky Mountain is quite special. It actually divides the Ying River into two rivers. The Ying River just happens to circle the Lone Peak of Sky Mountain in the middle!"
Du Jialuo revealed a look of astonishment and said, "This immortal indeed has good eyesight. This Celestial Mountain's Lone Peak is at least ten miles away from us, yet an immortal can see it so clearly from such a distance. The Surplus River flows around Celestial Mountain's Lone Peak, which is how the Surplus Heavens Sect got its name."
When they reached the foot of the Lone Peak of Sky Mountain, Du Jialuo steered the boat towards the shore. From afar, he could see a few rays of light rising from the mountainside and landing in the direction of Lu Ping and the others.
"Hehe, so it's the kid from the Du Family. You're quite lucky today. You actually brought two cultivators here at once."
When the light dissipated, three Mid Blood Condensation cultivators appeared. The three cultivators were wearing different robes. Clearly, they belonged to different sects. The one in the lead seemed to be familiar with Du Jialuo as he started talking to him from afar.
On the small boat, Du Jialuo hurriedly bowed to the three of them and said: "Greetings, Immortals. This time, I was just lucky. These two Immortals took pity on me, which was why I was able to board this junior's boat. Otherwise, with the abilities of the Immortals, how could I have wasted so much time to get here?"
The cultivator in front looked at Lu Ping and Dabao, and his heart sank. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Ying He Sect disciple Cai Yun greets the two seniors."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the two cultivators behind him and said, "These two are senior brothers from Ying Shan Sect and Dao Universe Sect."
The two cultivators who had come with Cai Yun had also discovered that Lu Ping and Dabao were exuding an unfathomable aura, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
Dabao casually waved his hand and said, "The three of you don't have to do this. We are only here to see the ruins of Ying Tian and pay our respects to the number one sect in the North Ice Plains in the past. I wonder what's left of the ruins on the peak of Tian Shan?"
Cai Yun revealed a troubled expression. The cultivation of the two cultivators in front of him was clearly unfathomable. In the past, when cultivators like Lu Ping arrived, they would directly enter the peak of Tian Shan. Why would they care about the disciples guarding the mountain? The cultivators from the three sects were also happy not to offend them. They would only stop cultivators below the Core Forging Realm from entering the mountain and collect some fees from them.
However, not only did these two not enter the peak of Tian Shan, but they even asked them about the ruins in a friendly manner. This caused Cai Yun and the others to be at a loss.
Seeing that Cai Yun was momentarily stunned, Da Bao said with some displeasure, "I heard that you guys have to pay spirit stones to enter the Yingtian Ruins. Don't tell me that you won't even answer our questions if we don't pay? How stingy. How many spirit stones do we have to pay for a single trip up the mountain? Just name a number. As long as it's not too ridiculous, we won't care about such a small amount of money. However, please explain the situation of the Ying Tian ruins to us clearly. "
Cai Yun and the others didn't expect these two to be so easy to talk to. They automatically skipped over the part that Dabao called them stingy, leaving only the second half of the sentence. Instantly, their faces lit up with ecstasy.
The 'small amount of money' in the eyes of these Core Forging Enlightened Masters was a huge fortune to these Blood Condensation Realm cultivators. Hence, Cai Yun took the lead and said, "The ruins of the Ying Tian ruins have been in ruins for thousands of years. However, the Ying Tian Sect was famous in the Northern Ice Plains in the past. The sect's ancient books are as vast as the ocean. The two of you might be able to find some opportunities that others can't."
Lu Ping looked in the direction that the three of them had come from. His divine sense instantly captured the traces of three Core Forging Realm cultivators. They were obviously the strongest cultivators of the three sects stationed here. Furthermore, these three cultivators were also paying attention to Lu Ping and the others.
After giving Dabao a look, Dabao took out two low-grade spirit stones. He threw one of them to Du Jialuo, who was staring at Lu Ping and Cai Yun, but didn't dare to interrupt. He weighed the other spirit stone in his hand and said, "Kid, if you have nothing to do, wait for us here. When we come down, we'll take your boat back. At that time, we'll give you this spirit stone as well. How about it?"
Du Jialuo seemed to be struggling, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the spirit stone. He nodded and said, "I'll wait here for the two Immortals to return."
Dabao turned to Cai Yun and asked, "How much do you need to pay for the passage?"
Cai Yun smiled awkwardly and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind. However, there was still a hint of hesitation in his tone. He said, "Senior must be joking. Our three sects are here to preserve the ruins of the Ying Tian Sect as much as possible. If the two of you go together, how about 20 mid-grade spirit stones?"
Dabao looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. He seemed to have seen through Cai Yun's intentions.
Just when Cai Yun was about to give in under Dabao's stare, Dabao casually threw 20 mid-grade spirit stones to him and said, "Your business is not bad. I'll have to give it a try next time."
Cai Yun didn't understand what Dabao meant. He quickly focused his attention on the 20 mid-grade spirit stones in his hand. For a Mid Blood Condensation cultivator, 20 mid-grade spirit stones could be considered a windfall. However, he didn't know how many of them would end up in the hands of the three of them.
On top of the Lone Peak of the Heavenly Mountain, Dabao couldn't help but open his mouth to speak. However, he saw Lu Ping make a shushing gesture.
Dabao was a smart person. When he saw Lu Ping's gesture, he knew that someone was secretly monitoring them. He followed Lu Ping and walked around the overgrown ruins. After a while, the two of them entered a colorful cloud.
"Boss, this is simply a pile of broken bricks and broken tiles. Along the way, I didn't even find a single spiritual energy gathering area. For the past several thousand years, the cultivators who entered and exited this Heavenly Mountain Lone Peak were actually able to search this ruin so thoroughly that even a dignified Core Forging Stage Treasure Seeking Mouse like me couldn't find a single trace of it. This can be considered a miracle! I wonder if you've discovered anything, Boss? "
Lu Ping smiled and said, "What can I find? The Ying Tian Dojo has been missing for thousands of years. Countless cultivators have entered and exited this place, but none of them found anything. You're just a Spirit Seeking Mouse, so what can you do?"
Dabao was quite dissatisfied and corrected him, "Boss, I'm a Treasure Seeking Mouse, not a Spirit Seeking Mouse! However, those people from the Ying He Sect, Ying Shan Sect, and Dao Universe Sect actually claimed this place as their own. They even thought of using this place to make a fortune. This is quite rare. "
Five-colored clouds surrounded the two of them as they floated all over the Lone Peak of the Heavenly Mountain. However, other than the broken rocks and tiles that were hidden in the green, there was not even a single carving that could prove that this was the remains of the Ying Tian Faction.
Under the cover of the colorful cloud, Dabao and Lu Ping casually wandered around the Lone Peak of the Heavenly Mountain. They reminisced about this large sect that had shaken the Northern Ice Fields thousands of years ago.
Even though the Ying Tian Sect had been destroyed for thousands of years, the layout of the Ying Tian Sect's buildings could still be seen from the broken walls on the Lone Peak of the Heavenly Mountain. Lu Ping wasn't proficient in the layout of formations. Otherwise, if Hu Lili was here, she would definitely be able to deduce and use the layout of the Ying Tian Sect's Great Sect-Protecting Formation from the positions of these buildings.
However, Lu Ping was quite knowledgeable when it came to deciphering the individual restrictions that made up a formation. It was a pity that the restrictions rarely used the location of the terrain.
Dabao accompanied Lu Ping as they looked at the ruins of the Ying Tian Sect for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's so interesting about these ruins?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't understand them. I can only see some clues from the buildings of the Ying Tian Sect. However, I can record the layout of these buildings and their positions. In the future, when the Zhenling Sect becomes a large sect, the various buildings on Heaven Spirit Mountain will definitely need to be renovated and expanded. When that time comes, the layout of the Ying Tian Sect will be very useful for our sect. Even though the Ying Tian Sect was destroyed, the ruins are still in good condition. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find such well-preserved ruins in the world of cultivation."
Dabao nodded his head as if he understood. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, did you notice anything wrong with that little fellow called Du Jialuo?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "He's just a lucky little fellow. It's rare for him to have some petty tricks up his sleeves. However, he didn't know that his little tricks might bring him a great calamity."
Lu Ping looked at Dabao and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you discover something else?"
Seeing that he actually knew something that even his boss didn't know, Dabao couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Boss, did you really not discover anything else?"
Seeing that Lu Ping was amused and nodded his head, Dabao's expression became even more excited. His mustache trembled as he chuckled softly and said, "Boss, there's a demonic aura on this kid's body!"
"Demonic aura?"
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't discovered this.
