Lu Ping did not expect that the person who would arrive a few days later would be Guo Xuanshan Laozu. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Guo Xuanshan Laozu had been Zhenling's disciple before he had advanced to the Core Forging stage. He was a truly independent person. Now that Zhenling had established the Ying Shan mountain range, Guo Xuanshan Laozu was naturally the most suitable candidate.
However, the fact that the sect had directly sent a Dharma adept to establish a power in Central Plains showed how ambitious Zhenling was.
Accompanying Guo Xuanshan Laozu was Guo Xuanshan Laozu's fifth disciple, Perfected Liu Xuanyuan. He was also Master Immortal Liu when Lu Ping was still at the Blood Condensation Realm's Minor Repairs.
At this time, Perfected Liu Xuanyuan's level of practice had already reached the sixth stage of the Core Forging stage. Although he was still a long way from breaking through to the late Core Forging stage, this level of practice was already considered one of the best among the third generation disciples.
Other than these two, there were also two early Core Forging third generation disciples and five fourth generation Blood Condensation disciples. These nine people, together with Lu Ping, were the people Zhenling had sent to Central Plains to secretly establish a power.
The teleporter in the rocky cave was originally a single-person teleporter. However, before Perfected Xuanchen left, he first modified the teleporter in the cave into a teleporter that could transport five people at a time. Then, he teleported to the Clear Stream Cave in the North Sea and modified the teleporter there as well. This way, the capacity of the teleporter was increased to the point where it could transport five people at a time between Central Plains and the North Sea. At the same time, the amount of top-grade spirit stones required for teleporting was greatly reduced.
However, in the process of modifying these two teleportation formations, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen had used up more than half of the formation spiritual materials he had obtained from the Yingtian Dojo. It was not so easy to modify a super long-distance teleportation formation.
Lu Ping explained everything about the rocky cave to Guo Tianshan Laozu. Before Guo Tianshan Laozu and the others returned to the North Sea, they had taken a large amount of low-grade training resources from the Yingtian Temple and left them in the rocky cave. This was enough for Guo Tianshan Laozu to use in the early stages of establishing Ying Shan Immortal Court. Just the medium spirit vein alone was enough to support an unranked power.
Of course, with Guo Tianshan Laozu's status as a Dharma adept, a single medium spirit vein was indeed too shabby. However, this was the beginning of everything, and this situation already made Guo Tianshan Laozu very satisfied.
After Guo Tianshan Laozu arrived, he quickly commanded the people he had brought to roam the Ying Shan mountain range. While familiarizing himself with the surroundings of the mountain range, he also constantly observed the movements of the Xiu Mo and Shura in the mountain range.
After flattening the Ying He, Dao Universe, and Ying Shan Sects, the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects were like locusts passing through the land. Most of the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects were led by the Blood Demons and Blood Shura to wreak havoc in some unknown place. There were only a few scattered Shura and Xiu Mo Sects left in the Ying Shan mountain range. These were the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects who had fallen behind due to injuries or low levels of training.
Ever since the great calamity, although the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects had brought great disasters to the cultivation world, after the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects had wreaked havoc in a certain area, they would rarely pass by that area again. Even other tribes of the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects would rarely visit that area again.
This was also the reason why Zhenling could be at ease in setting up another residence in the Ying Shan mountain range. This place had already been ravaged by the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects, so during this great calamity, there would not be any large groups of Shura and Xiu Mo Sects passing through the Ying Shan mountain range again.
After a period of preparation, Guo Xuanshan and Laozu established the Ying Shan Immortal Academy on a mountain peak near the Ying He Mountain Range. This would be the base of Zhenling's faction in the Ying Shan mountain range. Although the Ying Shan Immortal Academy was spacious, it was still too small to be the base of a faction. It could only be used as a secret base.
After about three months, when all the preparations were completed, Guo Xuanshan finally began to send disciples under the banner of Ying Shan Immortal Academy to clean up the scattered Asuras and devil cultivators in the Ying Shan Mountain Range. At the same time, they began to help the mortal villages in Ying Shan Immortal Academy defend against the beast tides caused by the Asuras and devil cultivators rampaging in Ying Shan Mountain Range. Slowly, the mortal villages within a radius of 50 kilometres of Ying Shan Immortal Academy became part of Ying Shan Immortal Academy's sphere of influence. At the same time, Ying Shan Immortal Academy also began to host the Bloodline Activation Ceremony in the dozen or so nearby villages, selecting cultivators with good aptitudes to enter Ying Shan Immortal Academy to cultivate.
Although the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects had dealt a heavy blow to the cultivation world in the past, the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects had never taken the initiative to attack places where mortals gathered. This could be considered a mystery in the cultivation world. Some cultivators had guessed that the reason why the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects did not attack mortals was because mortals did not know how to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to expand their divine sense and will.
Even though the Shura and Xiu Mo Sects were bloodthirsty and devoured souls, the bloodline of mortals did not contain Spiritual Qi and could only nurture True Essence. They could only observe their surroundings through their five senses and not through the divine sense and will of cultivators.
Let's not talk about how Guo Xuanshan and Laozu had taken advantage of the vacuum in the Ying Shan mountain range after the Shura's rampage to expand the territory of the newly established Ying Shan Immortal Academy. They searched for and took over the various cultivation resource sites that the Ying He, Ying Shan, and Dao Space Sects had opened up in the Ying Shan mountain range for their own use.
After Lu Ping welcomed Guo Tianshan and Laozu, he once again became a hands-off shopkeeper. Guo Tianshan and Laozu presided over the Ying Shan Immortal Academy and had many things to do. Other than occasionally coming out to refine a few cauldrons of pills, Lu Ping did not care about anything else. After greeting Guo Tianshan and Laozu, he returned to his cave dwelling and went into seclusion.
For some reason, Guo Tianshan and Laozu did not care about Lu Ping's actions. Even though the other Core Forging cultivators felt indignant, when they thought about it, the Ying Shan Immortal Academy was not perfect in all aspects. The pills they needed for their cultivation still fell on Lu Ping. When they thought about Lu Ping's identity as an Alchemy Grandmaster, they all calmed down: He was special because he had the qualifications. They had no choice but to accept it.
After Lu Ping went into seclusion, the Ying Shan Immortal Academy no longer had any Alchemy Grandmaster. Even though Lu Ping had refined a batch of pills before he went into seclusion, no one knew how long Lu Ping would stay in seclusion. Guo Tianshan and Laozu could only ask for help from the sect.
A few days later, Zhenling's Alchemy Grandmaster, Daoist Xuan Fang, and three other Alchemy Grandmasters brought a batch of spiritual herbs of various ages that Zhenling had sent to Ying Shan Immortal Academy through the teleportation array. They took over the responsibility of managing the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's Pill Room from Lu Ping.
One of the Blood Condensation Realm Alchemy Grandmaster who came with Daoist Xuan Fang was Tian Yue, the one who held Lu Ping's Alchemy Master token.
Tian Yue was now one of the best Alchemy Grandmasters among the fourth generation of Zhenling's disciples. He was favored by the seniors in the Pill Pavilion, especially the famous Alchemy Grandmaster, Daoist Xuan Fang, who gave him many pointers.
The fourth generation disciples in the Pill Pavilion were envious of Tian Yue. They all believed that Tian Yue would definitely become Daoist Xuan Fang's disciple after he advanced to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm.
However, after a few years, Tian Yue's cultivation had already reached the Fifth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. However, he didn't even have the intention to become Daoist Xuan Fang's disciple. Tian Yue's alchemy skills were the best among the fourth generation disciples. Many of his peers had already been accepted by the Pill Pavilion's alchemy masters and Alchemy Grandmasters. However, not a single Alchemy Grandmaster, including Daoist Xuan Fang, took the initiative to accept Tian Yue as a disciple.
As time passed, all kinds of rumors started to spread. Some people said that Tian Yue was once under the care of a powerful figure in the Pill Pavilion. Ordinary alchemy masters naturally wouldn't accept Tian Yue as a disciple, and Tian Yue naturally wouldn't risk angering that powerful figure by accepting someone else as his master. There were also people who said that Tian Yue was arrogant and thought that no one was qualified to be his master. He didn't even put Daoist Xuan Fang, who had helped him a lot, in his eyes. There were also people who said that Tian Yue had offended someone that even Daoist Xuan Fang didn't dare to offend, so no one in the Pill Pavilion dared to accept him as a disciple.
There were also people who asked Daoist Xuan Fang why he didn't accept Tian Yue as a disciple. Since Daoist Xuan Fang had given Tian Yue many pointers and Tian Yue's talent in alchemy was quite high, Daoist Xuan Fang only smiled and didn't answer.
Tian Yue had also been asked several times why he didn't accept a master. With his master's pointers, with his talent in alchemy, his progress in alchemy would undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort. However, Tian Yue only politely declined their kind intentions. Because of this, he was even reprimanded by many third and even second generation alchemy masters. They all said that he was too arrogant, but Tian Yue never defended himself.
This time, Tian Yue came to Ying Shan Immortal Academy with a mid-grade pill furnace. Before he came to the Central Plains, Elder Immortal Fang Tao from Huang Li Island had personally given it to him. This made the other two Blood Condensation alchemy masters who came with Daoist Xuan Fang very envious. When Daoist Xuan Fang saw the pill furnace, he only smiled.
Lu Taohua was already ten years old. Although her real age was probably much older than a cultivator who had reached the True Spirit Realm, she stubbornly counted the years from the year she transformed. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Ten years was a very long time for Samling, Lu Qin-er, Lu Dagui, Guo Tianshan, Laozu, Daoist Liu Xuanyuan, and the others who managed Ying Shan Immortal Academy. However, to Lu Taohua, ten years was nothing compared to the time before she transformed.
Thus, while Lu Ping was in seclusion, Lu Qin-er's cultivation also broke through to the fifth stage of the Core Forging Realm. Samling also advanced to the mid-stage of the Core Forging Realm. Even Lu Dabao's cultivation rose by one stage, reaching the second stage. The Amethyst Queen Bee's cultivation rose by two stages, reaching the third stage. Lu Dagui also advanced to the third stage.
Under the management of Guo Tianshan and Laozu, the entire Ying Shan Immortal Academy gradually got on the right track and started to develop steadily. With the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's True Spirit Peak as the center, the Ying Shan Mountain Range within a radius of a thousand miles became part of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy's sphere of influence.
Ten years later, Tian Yue, who was at the sixth stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, successfully refined a batch of pills for the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. Under the special care of Daoist Liu Xuanyuan, Du Jialuo advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm. In the forbidden area of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy near the Ying River, a huge vortex of spiritual energy gradually formed in the sky, attracting the attention of all the disciples of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
