Lu Ping knew that Ying Shan Immortal Academy's foundation was shallow. The cultivation of the 18 disciples was uneven and they didn't have much experience. If they entered the space now, it would be easy for others to take advantage of them. Thus, he had no choice but to rack his brains and leave behind more methods to prevent his own disciples from suffering heavy losses.
In fact, Lu Ping also knew that this was the reason why Tianshan Laozu wanted him to come here. Lu Ping didn't care about the academy's matters for the past 10 years. Tianshan Laozu wanted him to worry about the academy. At the same time, he wanted to establish his prestige among the many disciples of Ying Shan Immortal Academy.
After receiving the spiritual talisman, the disciples saw that Lu Ping didn't remove the rainbow mist around them. They were overjoyed. Could it be that this Elder Xuan Ping was going to give them more treasures?
Looking at the excited disciples around him, Tian Yue couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This was nothing. It couldn't even be compared to a single hair in Daoist Xuan Ping's nine oxen. If they knew that this person in front of them was known as the "Boy of Many Treasures", who knew how shocked they would be.
As expected, Lu Ping still had more methods to give out. He took out a spirit beast bag and formed a few hand seals towards the sealed spirit beast bag. The originally sealed spirit beast bag was immediately opened.
A buzzing sound rang out, and under the expectant gazes of Tian Yue and Tian Yue's astonished gazes, 18 fist-sized demonic wasps flew out from the spirit beast pouch. Their transparent wings flapped rapidly, and they gave off an aura that struck fear into the hearts of all the disciples.
These 18 demonic bees were all at the third layer of the Core Forging realm. Under Lu Ping's command, the 18 demonic bees landed on the shoulders of the disciples under the fearful gazes of the disciples.
Lu Ping naturally wouldn't reveal the name of the Amethyst Wasps. He only said, "These are demon soldiers that I've specially trained. Each of these eighteen wasps has a cultivation of the Third Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Although the true cultivation of a demon soldier is far weaker than human or demonic beast cultivators of the same cultivation realm, they will still be of great help to you. Furthermore, these wasps have a special ability to sense spiritual herbs and flowers. When the time comes, you will have a map to refer to and the wasps to guide you. I believe that your harvest will not be inferior to the other two sects!"
Demon soldiers!
The disciples carefully looked at the Amethyst Wasps on their shoulders, and their hearts surged with joy. Previously, when the Immortal Academy disciples saw that the other two sects were all at the third layer of the Blood Condensation Realm, they were still a little apprehensive. But now, when they saw the third layer demonic bees on their shoulders, their previous apprehension was swept away.
Because Wasp Queen Zi Lan had advanced to the Core Forging realm, the quality of the Amethyst Wasps in Lu Ping's hands had also greatly improved. More than a third of the thousands of Amethyst Wasps had advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm. Although three of these Amethyst Wasps might not be as strong as a human or demonic beast cultivator of the same cultivation realm, it was already a great help to the Immortal Academy disciples. It was even more beneficial than giving them a high-grade magic tool.
Actually, Lu Ping wanted to give them more, so that every cultivator could control a batch of Amethyst Wasps. However, these Wasps were Zi Lan's subordinates, and Zi Lan had recognized Lu Ping as her master. Even if Lu Ping wanted to give them the Amethyst Wasps, these disciples would not be able to control them with their spiritual will.
It was better to give each of them one Amethyst Wasps. This way, under Zi Lan's orders, these disciples would be able to control the Amethyst Wasps with their own spiritual will.
What's more, once the Amethyst Wasps were given to a disciple, if that disciple died and the Amethyst Wasps were obtained by others, the news of Ying Shan Immortal Academy possessing the Amethyst Wasps would be exposed. Then, the newly established Immortal Academy would immediately be suppressed by the various powers, and the Immortal Academy might even vanish into thin air.
Moreover, the Amethyst Wasps could not be separated from the Queen Bee for too long. If they were separated for too long, the Amethyst Wasps would either dissipate on their own, or a new Queen Bee would be born. No matter which scenario it was, Lu Ping was not willing to see it happen.
However, if a cultivator only had one Amethyst Wasp, then there was no need to worry. Putting aside the fact that the Amethyst Wasps had disappeared from the cultivation world for so many years, it was doubtful that anyone would recognize them. Moreover, Lu Ping had also placed a restriction on these 18 Amethyst Wasps through Zi Lan. Once the aura of the cultivator they followed dissipated, they would also die.
Lu Ping glanced at Du Jialuo, and a trace of hesitation could be seen in his eyes. Following which, he seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head and said, "The other disciples can leave for now. Only a few disciples at the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm can stay. I have some instructions here."
The other disciples looked at the only four disciples at the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm from the Immortal Academy with looks of envy. Elder Xuan Ping naturally had instructions for the few disciples with the highest cultivation to stay behind. Perhaps, these people might even receive some benefits from Elder Xuan Ping.
However, they couldn't blame others for this. Who asked them to be weaker than Elder Xuan Ping?
Lu Ping saw three of the disciples looking smug. They all looked at Lu Ping with bright eyes, as if waiting for him to give them other instructions.
Lu Ping smiled, then turned to Tian Yue and asked, "Have you thought it through? You are not good at fighting. Now that your cultivation has been sealed, if you break the seal and use magic power beyond the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm, you will die for sure. "
Tian Yue hesitated for a moment when he heard Lu Ping's words, but his eyes regained clarity in an instant. He nodded at Lu Ping and said, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master. Since disciple has already made up his mind, then life and death are up to fate."
Lu Ping smiled and didn't say anything else. However, there was a trace of admiration in his eyes for Tian Yue.
Lu Ping looked at the four people in front of him and took out four more jade slips from his storage magic tool. He said, "The map I gave you earlier is actually not complete. There are four other maps in these four jade slips. They might record areas that the cultivators who entered before the space opened. There might be a large number of higher quality spiritual herbs in these areas."
Tian Yue's eyes lit up. He was a true alchemist. Although Lu Ping's words were vague, for a grandmaster like Lu Ping to say "higher quality spiritual herbs", it meant that the spiritual herbs growing in these unknown areas were only 3,000 years old.
"Once you encounter these spiritual herbs, you don't have to hesitate. Just collect them as much as you want. However, there are more than 20 spiritual herbs that you have to pay special attention to. If you encounter these spiritual herbs, you have to collect them carefully and store them in a special Spirit-Sealing Jade Box."
Lu Ping naturally wouldn't just tell them about the rare 3,000-year-old spiritual herbs needed to refine the Spirit-Forging Pill. Instead, he arranged them in a random order with the other rare 3,000-year-old spiritual herbs. This way, even if someone saw these spiritual herbs, they wouldn't be able to associate them with the Spirit-Forging Pill.
Lu Ping handed a few Spirit-sealing Boxes made of Jade Crystals to the disciples and took out four small spirit beast pouches.
The four of them didn't feel numb when they saw Lu Ping's endless methods. Instead, they were pleasantly surprised. Being able to see Elder Xuan Ping today was enough for them to hold their heads high in front of everyone even if they didn't go to the Fist Valley.
Lu Ping handed the four spirit beast bags to the four of them and passed a set of techniques to them. Then, he said, "Each of these four storage bags contains 50 demonic bees at the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm. After you use the techniques I just passed to you, you can use these demonic bees to form the Demon Soldier Formation. With this Demon Soldier Formation, you will at least have the strength of a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator."
Lu Ping looked at the four of them and said, "However, I don't want you to use this Demon Soldier Formation to fight with others. I've already set up some things in the spirit beast bags. Whenever you find a patch of spiritual grass, you must first release these demonic bees to collect nectar. At the same time, these demonic bees can also help you patrol and warn you. After that, you can start collecting the spiritual grass. Do you understand?"
Seeing the four of them nodding, Lu Ping said, "If the four of you return, I will reward each of you with half a catty of nectar brewed by the demonic bees. At the same time, prepare to go into seclusion and break through to the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm!"
Lu Ping's words stunned the four of them at first. Then, they became overjoyed. The meaning behind Lu Ping's words couldn't be clearer. The other three Third Level Blood Condensation disciples were excited because Lu Ping was going to help them advance to the mid stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, but Tian Yue was excited because of the half a catty of nectar.
Tian Yue naturally knew about the demonic bees Lu Ping took out. Those were one of Daoist Master Xuan Ping's trump cards, the Amethyst Bees that had been extinct in the cultivation world for a long time.
Half a catty of nectar brewed by the Amethyst Bees. If news of this got out, any alchemist or even grandmaster alchemist would go crazy. With half a catty of Amethyst Bee nectar in hand, how many cultivation resources that could help them advance to the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm couldn't be bought? Not to mention, the nectar itself was an essential ingredient for many kinds of pills.
After the four of them memorized the map Lu Ping gave them and the method to control the Amethyst Bees, they crushed the jade slips again. Lu Ping nodded and said solemnly, "That's all. After you enter the space, just be careful. Remember what I said today and don't leak it. Otherwise, it will bring trouble to the Immortal Academy, and even your lives will be in danger."
Lu Ping didn't wait for the others to reply. He stretched out his hand and grasped it. The surrounding five-colored clouds quickly shrunk into Lu Ping's hand. A moment later, the clouds turned into a faintly discernible five-colored robe.
Lu Ping clenched his fist and the clothes disappeared from his hand. At the same time, the crowd looked around and saw the Shan Yu Sect and Gu Clan cultivators, as well as Enlightened Master Liu Xuan Yuan and the others, looking at Lu Ping and the four Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivators.
Lu Ping smiled and said, "My apologies, I have something to tell the disciples. I've delayed everyone's time."
Gu Hun smiled and said, "It's fine. The space will be open for a month anyway, so what's a little delay? But seeing how Daoist Xuanping gave us such detailed instructions, you seem to be very familiar with the Fist Valley space. Could it be that Daoist Xuanping already has some understanding of the Fist Valley space? "
Lu Ping could be considered an iron-faced person in the cultivation world who wouldn't blush when he lied. He chuckled and said, "Daoist Gu must be joking. I've never heard of this Fist Valley space before, but I've intentionally collected some books about the Ying Tian Sect in Hebei. Among them, there were many descriptions of the secret realms left behind by the Ying Tian Sect. I believe that the layout of the Ying Tian Sect in the Fist Valley space might be similar, so I gave some instructions to my disciples."
