After the Green Fox Nine Bandits left, a Monster Bee with a body half covered in purple flew out shakily from a low but stubbornly growing bramble. The Monster Bee wobbled its body in the air as if it was shaking off the muddy water that splashed up from the battle. Then, it chased after Lu Ping in the direction Lu Ping had left.
Several dozen kilometers away, Lu Ping found a relatively dry place with great difficulty. He swallowed a pill and began to recover his true essence.
The reason why Lu Ping had retreated instead of killing the nine was because the Lush Jade Swamp was filled with dangers. Lu Ping needed to maintain the strength to deal with any unexpected situations.
Lu Ping could kill all of the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits, but once Lu Ping did that, he would definitely suffer from a loss of true essence. Even if Lu Ping had the Myriad Wonder Dew to speed up his true essence recovery, Lu Ping's enormous amount of true essence couldn't be replenished in one go in a short amount of time.
If a cultivator attacked Lu Ping at this time, Lu Ping would very likely put Zhao Yu in danger.
Just as Lu Ping circulated the North Sea Wave Listening Technique and the true essence in his body began to continuously recover, a Purple Crystal Wasp chased after Lu Ping from behind and landed in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping smiled faintly and said, "You sure talk big. You want to attack the Immortal Academy? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"
He had already seen that the Cyan Fox Nine Bandits was the only truly powerful one. The other eight were at most a bit stronger than ordinary cultivators. With this kind of strength, if they reached the Overflowing Mountain Immortal Academy, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through the sect's great protective formation.
In the evening, the mist in the Lush Jade Swamp gradually thickened. A gentle breeze blew past, making people feel as if they were in an immortal realm.
However, Lu Ping's expression suddenly changed. He swung the longsword in his hand at the breeze behind him, as if he wanted to cut it in half.
A blood-curdling scream rang out as a green Asura fell from the wind. It was a Wind Asura!
Lu Ping casually picked up the weapon in the Shura's hand, and then the Shura gradually weathered away in the breeze.
Lu Ping had been in the Lush Jade Swamp for five days now. The Lush Jade Swamp was worthy of being called a dangerous place in the cultivation world of Hebei. During those five days, Lu Ping had encountered various dangers, both hidden and dangerous.
Because he discovered that the poisonous miasma floating in the Lush Jade Swamp and the poisonous essence of Poison Asura were effective in refining the Myriad Poison Liquid and condensing the Myriad Wonder Dew, Lu Ping tried his best to search for traces of Poison Asura in these five days.
However, Poison Asura were rare existences among the Asura race. Coupled with the Asura's unique concealment technique, even though Lu Ping had discovered and killed many Asuras, including the one he killed five days ago, there were only four Poison Asuras, including the one he killed five days ago. Two of them were just ordinary Blood Condensation Asuras.
However, Lu Ping gradually discovered that as the miasma and poison accumulated in the Myriad Poison Liquid, the poisonous miasma in the Lush Jade Swamp had no effect on the condensation of the Myriad Wonder Dew. Lu Ping did not know if the same would happen if the Poison Asura's poisonous essence was absorbed, but at least the two Blood Condensation Asuras had no effect on the condensation of the Myriad Wonder Dew.
The second threat in the Lush Jade Swamp were the ferocious beasts. Due to Mara's Dove Nest Sparrow's occupation of the Hebei cultivation world, the number of ferocious beasts in the swamp had decreased sharply. However, the surviving ferocious beasts were either tyrannical in strength or had concealment techniques that were not inferior to Asuras. These two types of ferocious beasts were undoubtedly the most threatening to cultivators.
Perhaps it was because Lu Ping was not in a hurry to enter the depths of the Lush Jade Swamp, but during these five days, Lu Ping did not encounter too many tyrannical ferocious beasts. However, the ferocious beasts that appeared and disappeared unpredictably annoyed Lu Ping.
If it were not for Lu Ping's strength, these ferocious beasts that excelled in concealment, speed, and sneak attacks would have already succeeded.
As Lu Ping walked through the swamp, he could hear the screams of cultivators almost every day. By the time Lu Ping arrived, there were only mutilated corpses left on the ground. He did not know if these corpses were killed by ferocious beasts or Asuras, or if they were killed by their own kind!
However, the hidden danger was the increasing number of cultivators swarming into the Lush Jade Swamp. These cultivators were a mix of good and bad. In the past few days, Lu Ping had encountered some cultivators or groups of cultivators. Lu Ping could sense a faint hostility from these people. There were even traces of killing intent towards a lone cultivator like Lu Ping.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Ping wanted to show off his strength, causing others to hold back from attacking him, Lu Ping would have been ambushed countless times by now.
Just as Lu Ping picked up the Wind Asura's weapon, the ground beneath Lu Ping's feet suddenly bulged. The soil beneath him sunk down, revealing a huge mouth filled with wriggling white flesh. The mouth wanted to swallow Lu Ping from head to toe.
Puchi!
Lu Ping was swallowed by the huge mouth. The walls of flesh around him squeezed down, turning Lu Ping into a puddle of water as he was sucked into the huge mouth.
Tens of zhang up in the sky, Lu Ping looked down at the huge mouth beneath his feet and the body behind it, which was as thick as a water bucket. He could not help but frown in disgust. It was actually a huge earthworm!
Having missed its attack, the huge earthworm seemed to have sensed danger. It turned around and tried to escape back into the swamp, but it was already too late.
Three huge snake bodies flashed past, wrapping around the huge earthworm's body from both sides. Then, they tore it apart in opposite directions.
With a "pa" sound, the huge body, which was tens of zhang long, was torn into three pieces by Samling. However, the earthworm's body was still writhing violently. Its life force was unbelievably tenacious.
At this moment, three huge snake heads, one green, one blue, and one white, suddenly rose from the surrounding swamp. Samling had returned to his original form. His body was not much different from the huge earthworm, but his strength was far beyond the earthworm's.
The three snake mouths bit down on the earthworm's three pieces. The earthworm, which had been struggling violently, quickly stopped moving and died completely.
At this moment, Lu Bi dug out a fist-sized beast core from the earthworm's head. This was the condensation of the earthworm's entire essence.
When Lu Ping saw this beast core, he shook his hand and released Dabao.
Dabao's nose was very sensitive. His beady eyes stared at the beast core and couldn't move away.
"Little Sister Bi 'er, quickly give this beast core to Big Brother Dabao. Right now, I'm basically re-cultivating. I'm counting on this beast core to increase my cultivation!"
Dabao's cultivation had been sealed by Lu Ping using a special sealing technique passed down by his teacher. Now, he had only recovered to the peak of the Fifth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. He couldn't even transform.
This earthworm's longevity pill was obviously made of pure earth essence. It was a great supplement for Dabao. As long as Lu Ping refined a batch of pills, Dabao would be able to remove the impurities from the longevity pill and consume it. He believed that he would be able to recover to the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm in a short period of time. After a while, breaking through to the late Blood Condensation Realm wouldn't be a problem.
Lu Bi smiled and was about to pass the longevity pill to Dabao. However, a snow-white hand suddenly appeared and snatched the longevity pill from Lu Bi's hand.
When Dabao saw who it was, his expression immediately changed. Lu Bi, who was beside him, made a helpless expression.
"Hehe, Big Brother Dabao, you want this beast core? This Beast Core isn't the work of Eldest Sister alone, but the three of us worked together to kill this large earthworm to obtain it. If you want this Beast Core, just having Eldest Sister's agreement isn't enough. Second Brother and I haven't agreed yet! "
Lu Linger tossed the beast core in her hand into the air and caught it again. Dabao's heart was thumping wildly as the beast core rose and fell in Lu Linger's hand. He was afraid that Lu Linger would be careless and drop the beast core on the ground. If it was tainted, the value of the beast core would be greatly reduced.
"Good sister, don't throw it away. Quickly give this beast core to Big Brother Dabao. Big Brother Dabao's cultivation is the weakest right now. He's counting on this beast core to transform!"
Dabao pleaded softly.
"Hmph, even if you recover your cultivation, you'll still be the weakest. Little Sister Zilan has already advanced to the Third Layer of the Core Forging Realm. Big Brother Dabao is also at the peak of the Second Layer. In any case, your cultivation is also the weakest. It doesn't matter if you don't have this beast core or not."
Lu Linger's small face twisted, no longer paying attention to Dabao.
Dabao looked at Lu Ping with a pleading gaze, but he saw that Lu Ping had swallowed a pill to restore qi and had begun to refine and cultivate.
Dabao had no choice but to cry and said, "Little Sister Linger, tell me, what do I have to do to give this beast core to me?"
Lu Linger's plot had succeeded. She immediately changed her expression and said with a smile, "Big Brother Dabao, look at Linger's pair of daggers. They are the magic weapons that Father gave me, but they haven't been upgraded to spiritual magic weapons yet. Second Brother's magic weapon has already been prepared with the best spiritual materials. When we go back this time, it will be upgraded to a spiritual magic weapon. Big Sister's is the same. Only I haven't prepared it yet."
When Dabao heard this, his whole body trembled and he said, "Linger, don't even think about it. Tell me, how many things have you extorted from me alone? Big Brother loves you the most and has given you very few good things. I don't believe that you don't have the best spiritual materials to upgrade the magic weapons in your hands. Why are you only staring at the things in my hands? "
Lu Linger did not let it go. She said, "Oh, Big Brother Dabao, you are the Treasure Hunting Mouse. In the future, you will certainly be a Taoist Plentiful Treasure who is even more powerful than Father's Plentiful Treasure Boy. A little spiritual material is nothing. I know you definitely have it!"
Dabao firmly shook his head and said, "No, I really don't!"
Lu Linger suddenly frowned and said, "You dare to say you don't have it? Hmph, where is the weapon of the Ice Asura that Father killed two days ago? Don't think that I don't know that it was you who took it. If you don't give it to me, I will boil this beast core with Big Sister and Second Brother. Anyway, although this beast core does not match the attributes of the three of us, it still has a lot of benefits!"
After that, Lu Linger took out a jade bowl out of nowhere. It was filled with clear water and she was really about to throw the longevity pill into it.
Dabao suddenly panicked and hurriedly said, "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"
After the two finished the transaction, Lu Ping had almost recovered the qi in his body. He turned to Dabao and the others and said, "Okay, come with me to watch a good show!"
