If the Linglong Wine Cauldron was used as an offensive or defensive treasure, it would at most display the power of a Spirit Nourishing Treasure. It was far from being comparable to her identity as a Spiritual Treasure.
In fact, the true name of the Linglong Wine Cauldron should be called the Spirit Gathering Wine Cauldron. As a Spiritual Treasure that had survived a Lightning Tribulation, the most important function of the Linglong Wine Cauldron was to assist in cultivation, and this function was reflected in the gathering of Spiritual Qi.
Lu Ping spent ten years to reach the eighth layer of Core Forging. The reason why he didn't spend more time to consolidate his unstable cultivation was because of the Linglong Wine Cauldron. When Lu Ping broke through to the eighth layer of Core Forging, he didn't need to spend a lot of time to stabilize his cultivation. In fact, in the cultivation world, there were many magic treasures that could gather Spiritual Qi. For example, the Purple Spirit Jade Pendant that Lu Ping wore on his waist was refined from the Thousand Year Cold Jade that Second Senior Sister gave him when he entered the sect. Later, as Lu Ping's cultivation continued to increase, the jade pendant was upgraded from a top-grade magic treasure to a Spiritual Treasure. If it weren't for the Thousand Year Cold Jade's material limitations, perhaps Lu Ping would have already broken away from Chen Lian and upgraded it to a Spiritual Treasure.
In fact, in the cultivation world, there were many magic treasures that could gather Spiritual Qi. Not to mention others, Lu Ping wore a purple Spiritual Jade Pendant that was refined from the Millennium Cold Jade that Second Senior Sister gave him when he entered the sect. Later, as Lu Ping's cultivation continued to increase, the jade pendant was upgraded from a top-grade magic treasure to a Spiritual Treasure. If it weren't for the Millennium Cold Jade's material limitations, perhaps Lu Ping would have already broken away from Chen Lian and upgraded it to a Spiritual Treasure.
However, these kinds of auxiliary magic treasures that were used to gather Spiritual Qi, suppress the soul, calm the nerves, and restore one's vitality had a common problem. That was, it was too difficult to improve one's own quality, and it was basically a fantasy to pass the Lightning Tribulation and become a Spiritual Treasure. From this point, it could be said that the Linglong Wine Cauldron, which was an auxiliary magic treasure that focused on gathering Spiritual Qi, was able to survive the Lightning Tribulation.
However, after the Linglong Wine Cauldron passed the Thunder Calamity, it gained a new ability that Lu Ping thought was extremely heaven-defying. That was the ability to gather spiritual veins!
That's right, not only did the Linglong Wine Cauldron have a powerful spirit gathering function, it could also gradually form a permanent spirit vein. Although the time needed to gather the spirit vein seemed to be quite long, the Linglong Wine Cauldron relied on the medium-sized spirit vein in the cave to greatly shorten the time needed to nurture the spirit vein.
Ten years ago, when Lu Ping was in closed-door training, Linglong once boasted that she could use ten years to rely on the medium-sized spirit vein in the cave to gather a small spirit vein.
Although a small spirit vein was not in Lu Ping's eyes, the ability of Linglong to gather the spirit vein really surprised Lu Ping. Because a spirit vein was different from spiritual qi, it would not disappear and would grow endlessly. If the news of gathering a small spirit vein in ten years were to spread, Lu Ping could imagine how many Dharma Laozu would come to besiege him. He would definitely be dead.
The small wine cup turned back into a three feet tall girl. Linglong proudly jumped down from the stone platform and said: "Master, please look!"
However, with Lu Ping's Divine Sense, Lu Ping had already felt that the spiritual qi in the cave suddenly became thicker. Although a small spirit vein emitted only one percent of the concentration of spiritual qi compared to a medium-sized spirit vein, but the increased concentration of spiritual qi was still keenly captured by Lu Ping.
"Can it really gather a spirit vein?"
Although Lu Ping had already believed that Linglong would not lie, when he really saw a small spirit vein in the cave, he could not help but exclaim in amazement.
"How can it be fake?"
Linglong had an arrogant look on her face. Lu Ping's Divine Sense carefully examined the small spirit vein attached to the medium-sized spirit vein. Then he thought of something and turned to ask: "By the way, since you can rely on a medium-sized spirit vein to transform a small spirit vein, can you rely on a large spirit vein to transform a small spirit vein?"
When Linglong heard Lu Ping's words, her face suddenly changed, and then she said indignantly: "Master, in your dreams. If according to master's words, if Linglong is placed on a large spirit vein, won't it directly nurture a medium-sized spirit vein?"
Lu Ping also knew that his idea was too shocking. If according to what he thought, with Linglong's wine cauldron in hand, the large spirit vein that Zhenling spent tens of thousands of years to nurture would be a joke in Lu Ping's eyes. Then he laughed: "Master is too greedy, but Linglong can nurture a small spirit vein, this is already shocking enough."
"Hmph, but although Linglong can't transform a small spirit vein, if you let Linglong rely on a large spirit vein, it can shorten the time to gather a small spirit vein by two years. If you rely on a large spirit vein, then every five years, Linglong can gather a small spirit vein."
When Lu Ping heard this, his eyes lit up again. Even if it could only gather a small spirit vein, but after a long time, this magical power of Linglong's was enough to defy the heavens.
As if sensing Lu Ping's thoughts, Linglong pouted and said: "Master, don't think that Linglong can rely on a spirit vein for too long. Each spirit vein can only gather three small spirit veins at most. After that, this spirit vein can no longer be used by Linglong."
After hearing this, Lu Ping couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he also knew that if Linglong could really gather on a spirit vein endlessly, after hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps all the spirit veins in the cultivation world would be gathered under Linglong's feet.
"But …"
Step by step, Linglong lured Lu Ping's greed. With a smile, she changed the topic and said: "If Linglong can survive the second Lightning Tribulation, then Linglong can rely on a medium spirit vein to gather two small spirit veins in ten years."
Lu Ping's eyes immediately lit up and said: "If I survive the third Lightning Tribulation, doesn't that mean I can gather three small spirit veins in ten years?"
However, Lu Ping then seemed to think of something and said: "Every time I survive the Lightning Tribulation, I can only rely on a spirit vein to gather three small spirit veins at most? If that's the case, there won't be any significant change except for shortening the time. "
Linglong whispered "greedy master" again, and then said: "No, it's just that the number of spirit veins Linglong can breed every time I use the supernatural power will increase, but the number of the three times I use the supernatural power will not change. In other words, after Linglong survives the second Lightning Tribulation, I can rely on a medium spirit vein to breed a total of six small spirit veins, and after the third Lightning Tribulation, I can breed nine small spirit veins."
Lu Ping finally understood. Although Linglong's words were enough to make Lu Ping excited, and he secretly sighed that this Spiritual Treasure was really worth it, but Lu Ping was still a person with a clear mind. He was not confused by Linglong's beautiful future.
What a joke, for an auxiliary Spiritual Treasure like Linglong, without the power to kill or protect, it would be much more difficult to survive the Lightning Tribulation than other Spiritual Treasures. The difference between a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure and a Third Tribulation Spiritual Treasure was too big. Lu Ping was now just a cultivator who had just advanced to the Eighth Layer of Core Forging. Helping a Spiritual Treasure to survive the Lightning Tribulation was far from a problem that Lu Ping could consider.
However, Linglong seemed unwilling to give up this opportunity to tempt Lu Ping. She still described to Lu Ping the beautiful future that she would bring to Lu Ping after she grew up, "Master, if you can help Linglong survive the third Lightning Tribulation and help Linglong successfully advance to a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, then Linglong will be able to breed small spirit veins …"
After listening to this, the corner of Lu Ping's mouth twitched, but he was no longer willing to listen to Linglong's endless chatter.
Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure?
It was said that Peng Daoren's number one Divine Tool, the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash, was a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, but was that something that Lu Ping could hope to achieve?
Seeing that Lu Ping didn't want to listen to her anymore, Linglong obviously didn't want to give up. She followed behind Lu Ping, as if she wanted to get a promise from Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was really helpless against this tail, so he stretched out his hand and summoned the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash from the space in his heart core.
Crackle! The moment the Seven Treasures Thunder Gourd appeared in Lu Ping's hand, it released a bolt of lightning as if to demonstrate its might. Ling Long, who was behind him, jumped in fright and stopped in her tracks. She stared at the purple gourd in Lu Ping's hand with fear in her eyes.
In the past ten years, in addition to Lu Ping's cultivation advancing to the eighth layer of Core Forging, Lu Ping also made progress in three other things that were closely related to his own strength. The Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash's power greatly increased, and it was the second one after Linglong's spirit vein.
Lu Ping found some records about the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash in the ancient books of the Yingtian Dojo. Although the refining method of the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash was not recorded, there were some descriptions of the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash's growth process.
In order for the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash to grow, it needed to swallow a total of 49 different kinds of heaven and earth oddities, seven of each attribute.
However, before the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash became a spiritual magic treasure, it needed a total of 21 kinds of heaven and earth oddities as a foundation. After becoming a spiritual magic treasure, it only needed seven kinds of heaven and earth oddities. However, these seven kinds of heaven and earth oddities were different from ordinary heaven and earth oddities.
In that ancient book, Lu Ping learned that the cultivation world's heaven and earth oddities could be divided into three grades. Before the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash became a spiritual magic treasure, it only needed the most common low-grade heaven and earth oddities.
After the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash became a spiritual magic treasure, it needed to swallow middle-grade heaven and earth oddities. Compared to low-grade heaven and earth oddities, middle-grade heaven and earth oddities were undoubtedly much rarer. It was no wonder that after the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash's evolution, Lu Ping had used many kinds of heaven and earth oddities for it to swallow, but the calabash did not respond.
Lu Ping also checked the grades of some heaven and earth oddities according to the classification in the ancient book. He found that among the seven kinds of heaven and earth oddities that Lu Ping smelted with his Protective Aura Qi, three of them were actually middle-grade heaven and earth oddities. Moreover, the Myriad Poison Liquid that Lu Ping smelted at the beginning was barely at the threshold of high-grade heaven and earth oddities.
