After a whole day of hard work, Lu Ping finally finished preparing the place where he would live and work in the future. The sun was setting in the west and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Huang Li Island, covering it with a layer of golden sand.
Lu Ping looked at the darkening sky, and his heart began to race. He couldn't wait to reap the harvest from the Green Sea Snake's lair. Twenty-nine spirit stones. How many years ago was the last time he was in such a predicament? What level of Blood Refining Realm was he at that time?
The sky finally darkened, and there wasn't a trace of wind on the calm sea surface. However, a man in black was driving a small boat, sailing across the sky not far from the sea surface. He was so fast that only a black shadow could be seen, as if he had blended into the darkening night.
In Xuan Ling Sect's territory, the man in black encountered a group of Xuan Ling Sect cultivators who were patrolling the sea. Fortunately, the sea here was also a remote and desolate place. If it weren't for the tense relationship between Zhen Ling and Xuan Ling Sect, there wouldn't even be a cultivator patrolling the sea. These cultivators were all Blood Refining Realm disciples, so they were easily avoided by the man in black.
After venturing more than ten miles into Xuan Ling Sect's territory, the man in black suddenly stopped on the sea surface. He took out a talisman from his storage pouch, which was glowing with a faint silver light from time to time. The man in black was overjoyed, as if he had found something.
This man in black was Lu Ping, and the talisman in his hand was the parent talisman of the Child-Parent Warning Talisman. Last time, Lu Ping left a Child-Parent Warning Talisman near the Green Sea Snake's lair as a mark.
Lu Ping used the Water Repelling Art and slid towards the bottom of the sea. This time, Lu Ping easily sank to the bottom of the sea. The huge water pressure last time was nothing to Lu Ping now. At the same time, Lu Ping majored in the water, so Lu Ping had a deep sense of intimacy with the sea.
Lu Ping suddenly felt that he should have been the spirit of the water. It was just that he had left the water for too long and needed to familiarize himself with it again. However, that natural closeness could not be erased no matter what.
At this time, the bottom of the sea was dark, but it was not a problem for Lu Ping. With the detection of the warning talisman, Lu Ping easily found the place where the Green Sea Snake fell last time.
Even though almost a year had passed, the Green Sea Snake's corpse was still well-preserved. Its Blood Condensation Realm cultivation and noble bloodline allowed it to remain in good condition. The faint aura it exuded was enough to deter the nearby sea creatures.
Lu Ping was already very familiar with handling the carcass of the Green Sea Snake. In no time at all, the meat, skin, and bones of the Green Sea Snake were all dealt with. At the same time, he also obtained a Condensed Blood Bead from a Level 3 Blood Condensation cultivator.
The Green Sea Snake's carcass was lying in front of a natural cave formed by a reef. After Lu Ping handled the carcass, he moved towards the cave entrance. For safety's sake, Lu Ping even took out the Flying Swallow Sword in preparation.
The Green Sea Snake's nest was quite well-chosen. The entrance of the nest was very long, and it was slowly slanting towards the surface of the sea. Lu Ping moved in the cave for nearly half a mile before he saw a faint light at the entrance of the cave.
Lu Ping became even more careful. He arrived at the entrance of the cave and probed the nest with his divine sense. After confirming that it was safe, Lu Ping walked out of the sea and entered the nest.
As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Ping immediately felt that the spiritual energy was much denser than outside. Lu Ping immediately became excited. Could it be that there was also a spirit vein here? Lu Ping felt the density of the spiritual energy. It should be about the same as the mini spirit vein in the spiritual herb garden.
The nest should be built in the belly of a small island. It was slightly smaller than Lu Ping's cave, but it was enough for two adult Green Sea Snakes to stay inside.
The entrance that Lu Ping entered the nest was right in the middle of the nest. There were many plants growing around the cave. Lu Ping saw quite a number of spiritual herbs. Among them, there were more than ten spiritual herbs that were used to concoct Blood Condensation Realm pills. However, only seven or eight of them were mature.
Lu Ping looked around the nest, searching for the source of the spirit vein. Only then did he find something behind a boulder on the north side of the nest.
This boulder was placed horizontally in front of the stone wall. It was connected to the stone wall from top to bottom. At first glance, it looked as if the boulder was part of the stone wall. As Lu Ping walked closer, he discovered that there was a space behind the boulder. The dense spiritual energy was coming from this space.
Lu Ping crawled behind the boulder and saw that in the center of this small space, there were more than ten 500-year-old spiritual herbs growing closely together. These spiritual herbs were spread out in all directions, forming a nest. On top of the nest, there were three pure white snake eggs. The surface of the eggs was glowing, like three huge jade pearls.
Although the three snake eggs looked fresh, Lu Ping's divine sense could sense that the vitality inside them was slowly diminishing. Obviously, after losing the care of its parents, even with the continuous supply of spiritual energy from the spirit vein and the nourishment from the surrounding spiritual herbs, the snake eggs still couldn't escape the fate of death.
Fortunately, Lu Ping came!
Ever since Lu Ping understood the status of the Green Sea Snake in the Demon Race, he couldn't forget about the Spirit Snake's nest. He even risked provoking a war between the two sects to explore the nest at night. His main purpose was to find the eggs of the Green Sea Snake. Now that his wish was fulfilled, Lu Ping's excitement was indescribable.
Carefully holding the three spirit snake eggs in his hands, Lu Ping slowly injected his arcane energy into the eggs according to the method of incubating spirit beasts recorded in "Sheng Tao's Observation Log". With his divine sense, Lu Ping could clearly feel the vitality of the three snake eggs slowly recovering.
Lu Ping plucked the dozen 500-year-old spiritual herbs under the snake eggs and placed them into the prepared jade box. Then, he pasted a Spirit Sealing Talisman on the surface of the jade box.
Five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were generally necessary to concoct Blood Condensation pills. Naturally, Lu Ping had to treat them with caution. While plucking the spiritual herbs, Lu Ping noticed that there were also a dozen mid-grade spirit stones placed in the middle of the spiritual herbs. This must be the doing of the spirit snake's parents. Before a Demon Beast enters the Core Forging Realm and transforms, it rarely uses a storage artifact. If it encountered a spiritual material that was useful to it, it would directly swallow it into its stomach. But now, it had placed a dozen spirit stones under the snake eggs. How pitiful of parents. While sighing, Lu Ping put the dozen spirit stones into his pouch. He wanted to use them as a last resort. Lu Ping was scared of poverty!
After walking around the lair, Lu Ping plucked all the mature spiritual herbs in the surroundings. In addition to the previous dozen 500-year-old spiritual herbs, Lu Ping had a total of 23 500-year-old spiritual herbs and 50 100-year-old spiritual herbs that could be used to concoct Blood Condensation pills. As for the rest of the unripe spiritual herbs, Lu Ping planned to move this spirit vein to his cave abode on Huang Li Island. When the time came, he would transplant the spiritual herbs there.
Just these dozens of spiritual herbs were already a large amount of income. Unfortunately, since Lu Ping was determined to concoct pills, these spiritual herbs could not be exchanged for spirit stones. Instead, they were destined to be wasted by Lu Ping.
There were also a few pieces of red copper ore scattered around the lair. Red copper was a spiritual material used to forge fire-attribute magic tools. These ores were barely enough to forge a mid-grade magic tool.
