Of course, these were not the only things that Lu Ping had gained from the Clear Stream Cave Abode. Jiang Tianlin, Laozu, and the others were naturally aware of this as well. However, these three complete cultivation manuals had undoubtedly greatly strengthened their weakest shortcoming for the rising Zhenling.
Seeing that the seniors had calmed down from the joy of obtaining these three cultivation manuals, Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Martial Uncles and Martial Uncles, this disciple still has some news regarding the Ying Tian Dojo to report."
"I'm going to ask you even if you don't say it." Jiang Tianlin, Laozu, smiled and said, "You were able to obtain the Clear Stream Cave Abode, and Clear Stream Laozu had obviously entered the Ying Tian Dojo before. Then, he must have some information regarding the Ying Tian Dojo."
This time, Jiang Tianlin, Laozu, did not guess correctly. However, he would never have thought that Lu Ping had already entered the Ying Tian Dojo twice.
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "This disciple has already found the Ying Tian Dojo and entered it twice. Today, when this disciple discovered the inheritance imprint left behind by the Martial Uncles and Martial Uncles, I had just come out of the Ying Tian Dojo."
"What?"
This time, the Spiritual Masters of Zhenling finally cried out in surprise. Even Jiang Tianlin, Laozu, looked at Lu Ping in surprise. Spiritual Master Xuan Chen asked again in disbelief, "You really found the Ying Tian Dojo and entered it twice?"
Lu Ping smiled and took out the greyish clay pot mystic treasure. Then, he told the seniors about how he found the Ying Tian Dojo.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and helplessly as he looked at the gazes the seniors were giving him. Then, he said, "Martial Uncles and Martial Uncles, this is what it looks like. In the entire Ying Tian Dojo, the areas covered by the seals are distributed in a concentric circle pattern. The outermost area is covered by three seven-colored seals, while the rest is covered by two five-colored seals."
It was only then that the crowd regained their senses from Lu Ping's narration. Then, they looked at Enlightened Master Xuan Chen, Zhen Ling Sect's only Grandmaster in array formations. Other than Lu Ping, no one else was more qualified to speak than her.
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that you fought to a draw with Blue Sea Sect's Zhang Xiyi outside of Frost Island?"
Lu Ping scratched his head. Although he didn't know why Spiritual Master Xuan Chen would ask about Frost Island, he still answered, "That time, this disciple borrowed the Profound Ice Formation that Martial Uncle laid down."
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen did not seem satisfied with Lu Ping's answer and continued to ask, "If you had a fair fight with him, what would the outcome be?"
Lu Ping saw that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen was asking in detail, as if the importance of this matter was no less than breaking the rainbow restrictions in Ying Tian Dojo.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said carefully, "If that Zhang Xiyi did not hide too much of his strength that day, disciple is confident that even if I was not his match, I would still be able to tangle with him. At the very least, it would not be a problem for me to escape unscathed!"
Lu Ping naturally held back when he said this. Among his trump cards, at least the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash and the Great Genchen Formation had not been exposed. Moreover, during these days, Lu Ping had obtained three Spirit Nurturing grade artifacts and his strength had increased. If he fought with Zhang Xiyi again, the outcome was still uncertain.
Even so, when everyone heard Lu Ping personally confirm it, their faces showed more or less surprise. Zhang Xiyi was an expert who had condensed a Gold Core, while Lu Ping was only a third generation disciple who had just advanced to the late Core Forging stage.
After a flash of surprise passed through Spiritual Master Xuan Chen's face, he began to calm down, as if he was calculating something. The surrounding Spiritual Masters, including Jiang Tianlin and Laozu, did not make a sound to disturb him.
This time, although Zhenling was led by Jiang Tianlin, there was no doubt that the commander would be Spiritual Master Xuan Chen, the formation grandmaster. Unfortunately, Zhenling also had an expert who was famous for breaking restrictions, Spiritual Master Liang Xuanfeng. He was currently in seclusion and was at the most critical moment of breaking through to the Transcendence stage. Otherwise, Zhenling's lineup in Ying Tian Dojo would be even stronger.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief. Beside him, Jiang Tianlin and Laozu said with a smile, "Junior Sister, you have a result. This time, what strategy should we adopt to gain the upper hand in the competition with Laozu?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen nodded at Jiang Tianlin and Laozu, but he did not answer first. Instead, he turned to Lu Ping and asked again, "Do you know why I did not lead you into the formation immediately?"
Lu Ping thought to himself that it was indeed Spiritual Master Xuan Chen's idea to stop him outside the formation. However, he still replied with a bitter smile, "It seems that Uncle-Master wanted to test me. However, I have disappointed Uncle-Master. Uncle-Master's formation is mysterious, and I cannot break it."
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen said, "Let me explain."
Lu Ping looked at Spiritual Master Xuan Chen with some surprise, only to see that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen had a regretful expression on his face. He said, "Martial Nephew Lu is now the third Alchemy Grandmaster of our sect. I believe that you have already seen that I, Uncle-Master Lu, am seriously injured. I am afraid that I can only use twenty to thirty percent of my strength. I am no longer able to participate in the Yingtian Dojo. Previously, I was still feeling a little regretful that there was one less person participating in the opening of the Yingtian Dojo. Now that Martial Nephew Lu has arrived, and with Martial Nephew Lu's strength, which is originally above mine, I believe that our sect will gain more from the Yingtian Dojo."
Just as Lu Ping was about to speak, he saw that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen had a regretful expression on his face. However, he still took out a jade box from the storage magic tool on his waist and passed it to Jiang Tianlin Laozu. He said, "From what Martial Nephew Lu said, every restriction in the Yingtian Dojo is at least seven-colored. In that case, only restriction breaking talismans of three colors and above will have some effect on the restriction breaking talismans. In this box are the restriction breaking talismans of three colors and above that Master and I created. Among them, there are six three-colored talismans, three four-colored talismans, and only two five-colored talismans made by Master. Senior Brother Jiang, please use them carefully and bring back the greatest harvest for our sect."
Jiang Tianlin Laozu sighed inwardly. He took the jade box from Spiritual Master Xuan Chen's hands and said, "Junior Sister, please be at ease."
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen was the number one talisman crafting genius in Zhenling. Currently, he was second only to Tian Xue Laozu in Zhenling. This was also the main reason why Spiritual Master Xuan Chen was able to become Tian Xue Laozu's disciple and become the Vice Pavilion Master of the Talisman Crafting Pavilion.
Otherwise, with Spiritual Master Xuan Chen's ordinary talent, without Tian Xue Laozu's care, her cultivation would at most stop at the middle stage of the Core Forging Realm. How could she have reached the eighth layer of the Core Forging Realm? She even wanted to take a peek at the Transcendence Realm.
Originally, Tian Xue Laozu had helped Spiritual Master Xuan Chen obtain a spot to participate in the opening of the Yingtian Dojo. She hoped that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen would be able to find some opportunities in the dojo. However, no matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that Spiritual Master Xuan Chen would be heavily injured after arriving in Middle Earth. In order to not affect the competition between Zhenling and the other sects, she could only hand over the opportunity to Lu Ping.
At this moment, Lu Ping finally found an opportunity to ask, "How did Martial Uncle Xuan Chen get injured? Did he consume a healing pill? Is there any way this disciple can help?"
Spiritual Master Xuan Chen laughed bitterly, "Although I've heard that the situation in Middle Earth's cultivation world isn't good, I always thought that Middle Earth's cultivation world is the holy land of the entire cultivation world. Once those large and powerful sects make a move, the situation would definitely be under control. However, I never expected that the situation in Middle Earth would deteriorate to such an extent. Not only did the Asura Race and Demonic Cultivator Race appear at the same time, from the looks of it, the two races seem to have joined hands to attack a large sect like Blue Space Sect."
"What?"
Lu Ping's expression changed. Over the years, as his status in the cultivation world rose, he learned more and more about some of the secrets of the cultivation world. Lu Ping had seen the Asura Race several times and had even fought against them. Although Lu Ping had never seen the Demonic Cultivators, he had heard from Tianqin Laozu that Demonic Cultivators had already appeared in Carefree Sect's Fallen Archipelago in the East Sea.
However, Lu Ping could never have imagined that in Middle Earth, a holy land of cultivation where famous sects and clans gathered, the Asura Race and Demonic Cultivator Race had already become arrogant enough to attack a large sect.
Large sects were places that the entire North Sea's cultivation world looked up to. It could be seen that the situation in Middle Earth was far more serious than what Lu Ping had heard from the East Sea.
Once this great calamity affected the North Sea's cultivation world, Lu Ping could no longer imagine how Zhenling would be able to withstand it.
The Asura Race and the Demonic Cultivator Race were the two most mysterious races in the cultivation world. They were also the races that caused the entire cultivation world to pale at the mention of them.
The Asura Race would always appear in every great calamity in the cultivation world, but the Demonic Cultivator Race did not appear very frequently. However, once the Demonic Cultivator Race appeared in a great calamity, the cultivation world would often suffer double the losses.
The origin and appearance of these two races had always been a mystery. They always appeared abruptly without any pattern, and every time they appeared, it would set off a bloodbath that affected the entire cultivation world. Every time they appeared, it would also lead to a change in the overall situation of the cultivation world.
Therefore, every time these two races appeared, the entire cultivation world would call it a "great calamity"!
Although the arrival of each great calamity in the cultivation world did not follow any pattern, it basically maintained an interval of more than a thousand years. This was also the reason why the oldest of the first generation of Zhenling practitioners, Celestial Laozu, only had a lifespan of more than 900 years.
Lu Ping had long suspected this, because Dharma adepts had at least a lifespan of 800 years. After advancing to the mid Dharma stage, a practitioner's lifespan could even extend up to 1,200 years, and late Dharma adepts could even reach 1,500 years.
Zhenling had a legacy of tens of thousands of years. Although it had not grown into a large sect in the past, the legacy of Dharma adepts had never been cut off. So why was it that there was no Dharma adept of the earlier generation above Celestial Laozu Laozu was still alive?
Originally, Lu Ping suspected that the Dharma adepts of Zhenling, who were even older than the first generation of practitioners, might be living in seclusion somewhere. However, as Lu Ping's cultivation and status increased, he also knew more about Zhenling's secrets. He also knew that there were indeed no older practitioners above Celestial Laozu.
After that, Lu Ping had asked his teacher, Liu Tianling, about this question. Only then did he know that there were six Dharma adepts in the previous generation of practitioners, including Celestial Laozu Laozu, and two of them were mid Dharma adepts. It was just that later on, when the great calamity of the cultivation world spread to the North Sea, those six Laozu protected Zhenling against the attack of the Shura clan. Four Laozu died in battle, and the remaining two Laozu's lifespan was also greatly reduced after the calamity. Zhenling's legacy was at its most dangerous moment.
Fortunately, at that time, the calamity had just ended, and the various sects in the North Sea had suffered heavy losses. Everyone was licking their wounds and recuperating, so Zhenling managed to get through this most difficult period.
After barely managing to cultivate four Dharma adepts, namely Tian Xiang, Tian Xue, Tian Fan, and Tian Kang, these two older generation Zhenling Laozu's fell one after another, and Zhenling finally achieved the Dharma adept's legacy.
After that, the two Laozu's, Tian Jiang and Tian Xiang, also advanced to the Dharma stage. Zhenling's strength also recovered to the strength before the calamity, but Xuan Ling Sect was not able to recover as quickly as Zhenling after the calamity, and gradually, the gap between them and Zhenling was shortened.
Although Lu Ping had fought with the Asura Clan and killed many Asuras, he knew that the Asuras he met were only the weakest of the Asura Clan. They were Minor Repairs Asuras that had not yet fully matured. A fully matured Asura would have the strength of a late Core Forging cultivator, and the Great Asuras of the Asura Clan were all existences that could rival Dharma adepts.
Looking at Lu Ping's shocked expression, Jiang Tianlin Laozu explained, "Cang Yu Sect is the destination of the East Sea's Purple Talisman Pavilion's ultra-long distance teleporter. This time, it was directly attacked by the Asura Clan and the Xiumo Clan. Although they were repelled, Cang Yu Sect suffered heavy losses this time. At that time, we had just teleported to Cang Yu Sect when we saw the battle between the two sides. We had no choice but to help Cang Yu Sect. Your Uncle Xuan Ju was ambushed by an Asura at that time and was severely injured."
Lu Ping's expression was solemn as he nodded and said, "Uncle Xuan Ju, have you taken any healing elixirs?"
Xuan Ju Zhenren smiled bitterly and said, "I've already taken the Bell Cauldron Pill refined by Master Fornax. This time, Master Fornax prepared a Bell Cauldron Pill for each of us just in case. I didn't expect that I would waste this healing pill before even entering Yingtian Dojo."
The Zhong Ding Pill was a healing elixir that Tianlin Laozu had relied on to become a Grandmaster Alchemist. Although the difficulty of refining this elixir was only at the level of a half-step Dharma Adept, its effects were even effective on Dharma Adepts. The only downside was that the spirit herbs needed to refine this elixir were extremely precious, even more precious than the spirit herbs needed to refine normal Dharma Adepts.
At this time, Jiang Tianlin Laozu said, "Your Uncle Xuan Ju's injuries were quite serious. At that time, it was life-threatening. Although she used a Zhong Ding Pill to alleviate her injuries, I'm afraid that she will need several years to recover. We originally wanted to give our Zhong Ding Pills to her, but she thought that this trip to the Central Region was fraught with danger, so she refused to take our Zhong Ding Pills."
Just as Xuanju Daoist Master was about to say something, Ancestor Jiang Tianlin raised his hand and stopped him. "But this time, there's always a way out. I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of us. With an Alchemy Grandmaster like you here, I think your Uncle Xuanju Daoist Master won't have to worry about our Bell Cauldron Pill. I heard from your Uncle Liang Xuanfeng that you were able to refine the Bell Cauldron Pill when you were just at the early stage of the Core Forging realm."
Jiang Tianlin Laozu's words were said to Lu Ping, but in fact, it was also said to Xuan Ju Zhenren.
At this time, Xuan Ju Zhenren said, "Although Nephew Lu has become an Alchemist Grandmaster, the spirit herbs used to refine a Zhong Ding Pill are too precious. Nephew Lu may not have all the precious spirit herbs needed to refine the Zhong Ding Pill. After taking a Zhong Ding Pill, my life is no longer in danger. All I need is a few more years to recuperate. Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, you should keep the Zhong Ding Pills for yourself in case you need them. Moreover, this time, I was seriously injured. My cultivation foundation has been shaken, and there is almost no hope of advancing to the Dharma stage. What's the difference between recovering two years later and earlier? "
At this time, Lu Ping had basically understood the cause of the matter. The biggest reason why Xuan Ju Zhenren refused to take the Zhong Ding Pill was because he had no hope of advancing to the Dharma stage.
Lu Ping thought about it and took out an ancient book from his storage ring. This ancient book was made of the same material as the previous three complete ancient books, but there were many missing parts in this ancient book. It was obviously incomplete.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Ping handed the incomplete ancient book to Xuan Ju Zhenren, who had a suspicious look on his face. He said, "Uncle, take a look at this ancient book first."
Xuan Ju Zhenren did not know what Lu Ping was up to, so he opened the incomplete ancient book in his hand and began to browse.
When Daoist Xuan Ju flipped to the first page of the remnant book, he was stunned for a moment before his expression turned serious. However, as he flipped through the remnant book, his expression first became one of exuberance, then ecstasy. Soon after, his expression became solemn. It was obvious that he was deeply attracted by the contents of the remnant book.
After a long time, Xuan Ju Zhenren flipped to the last page of the incomplete ancient book. Then, as if remembering something, he raised his head and looked at Lu Ping, who had a relaxed smile on his face. Then, he smiled apologetically at the others and said, "To me, this incomplete ancient book is a hundred times more precious than the three complete cultivation methods!"
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Xuan Ju Zhenren asked Lu Ping, "This ancient book is also from the Yingtian Dojo?"
Lu Ping nodded solemnly and said, "Uncle, this ancient book is not complete. I think there are other parts in the dojo. If you can collect them all, even if your cultivation foundation is damaged, there is still hope for you to advance to the Dharma stage."
Xuan Ju Zhenren touched the incomplete ancient book in his hand and said with emotion, "I don't just need the other parts. Just this half of the incomplete ancient book can make up for a huge flaw in my cultivation."
Xuan Chen Zhenren asked curiously, "Senior Sister, what kind of ancient book is it that you value it so much?"
Xuan Ju Zhenren nodded at Lu Ping, then handed the ancient book in his hand to Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who was beside him, and said, "This half of the ancient book is related to the creation and cultivation of talismans in the Yingtian Dojo Sect. I am a talisman cultivator like the Purple Talisman Pavilion, but my sect's inheritance is not complete. Furthermore, I don't have Teacher Tian Xue's talent to make up for the flaws in my cultivation method. Originally, there was not much hope for me to advance to the Dharma stage. However, this half of the ancient book can help me make up for many of the flaws in my cultivation. It will be very beneficial for my future cultivation."
Seeing everyone's joyful faces, Xuan Ju Zhenren finally smiled. She continued, "However, this is not the only important thing. In this half of the ancient book, there is a complete inheritance of a type of precious talisman. This inheritance may not be complete even in some large sects."
This time, it was Xuan Xu Zhenren who could not hold back his curiosity. He hurriedly asked, "What inheritance is it?"
Before Xuan Ju Zhenren could speak, Jiang Tianlin, who was flipping through the half of the ancient book, gasped and said, "It is actually the complete inheritance of the Seven-Colored Restriction Breaking Talisman!"
Xuan Xu Zhenren opened his mouth wide and said, "What? Restriction Breaking Talisman? Or the Seven-Colored Restriction Breaking Talisman? "
Jiang Tianlin Laozu closed the ancient book in his hand and said to Lu Ping, "I want to bring this half of the original ancient book along with the three complete cultivation books back to the sect. If you need it, you can make a copy of it first."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Disciple originally wanted to hand these ancient books over to the sect. I have already made a copy of it."
Jiang Tianlin Laozu was obviously satisfied with Lu Ping's attitude. He said, "Martial Nephew Lu, this is only a small harvest from the Yingtian Dojo. It seems that the harvest from the Yingtian Dojo this time is really worth looking forward to."
Everyone smiled and nodded. Lu Ping could see the hidden excitement in their eyes.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu handed a jade bottle to Xuan Ju Zhenren and said, "Junior Martial Sister, you won't reject this Bell Cauldron Pill this time, right?"
Xuan Ju Zhenren was still hesitating when Lu Ping said, "Martial Uncle, with your current injuries, it is best for you to take another Bell Cauldron Pill. Not only will it greatly shorten the recovery time, but it will also minimize the possibility of your injuries affecting your cultivation foundation. As for the Bell Cauldron Pill, you don't have to worry. Disciple has collected a lot of spiritual herbs and can start refining them immediately. Moreover, disciple has another matter to report. It is about a huge spiritual herb garden in a secret realm of the Ying Tian Sect. However, this time, only Martial Uncle Jiang can do it. "
Xuan Ju Zhenren's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Ping's words. Jiang Tianlin Laozu had already handed over the Bell Cauldron Pill to Lu Ping. Then, he smiled and asked, "Oh, there is a secret realm of the Ying Tian Sect in the Ying Tian Mountain Range? Do I have to do it? Tell me, what kind of good news have you brought us? "
