Ma Li Laozu retreated in the end when he saw that the situation was hopeless. Xie Tianyang and Lu Ping exchanged a few words, then left with Xue Sanyi and Laozu.
Lu Ping was about to bid farewell to Sang Yu when Wu Tianxing Laozu, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Kid, I heard that you know alchemy?"
Lu Ping did not know what his goal was, so he nodded. "I've learned some alchemy before, so I can just about refine some pills!"
Sang Yu, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you are too humble. The Spiritual Water Meridian Fostering Pill is not something that ordinary alchemists can concoct. Furthermore, the art of water refinement is an alchemy technique that very few people in the cultivation world can master."
Lu Ping only smiled. "Brother Sang, you flatter me!"
Wu Tianxing Laozu waved his hand. "Alright, kid, come with the Old Man. The Old Man has a pill for you to refine!"
Lu Ping was taken aback. It was not that Lu Ping disliked the tone, but that the Spirit Tamer Sect was one of the world's great sects. How could they not have a grandmaster alchemist in their sect? What pill would they need him for?
Wu Tianxing Laozu rose into the air, and Lu Ping followed behind. At the same time, he winked at Sang Yu to ask, but Sang Yu gave him an expression that said he did not know either.
The four of them had long since left Qingqiu Mountain after their battle, but the rumbling of spells coming from Qingqiu Mountain was still clear. Now, the battle had died down, but the mountain in the distance was still shrouded in gray mist. It was clear that Qingqiu Mountain had not been breached by Mara. It must have been because of Sang Yu's talisman.
What happened in the West Wilderness had already spread all over the world. Firstly, the outstanding cultivators of the Core Forging Stage of the flood dragon bloodline of the human and demon clans in the cultivation world gathered at the source of the river. The most outstanding third-generation disciple of the Tenma people, Ma Chenxi, was killed, and the cultivator of the North Sea Zhenling, Lu Xuanping, became famous after the battle.
After that, the Calamity of Mara suddenly befell the Western Wasteland, and the lair of the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan was breached. Even if a few of them managed to escape with their lives, the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan would most likely fall from grace forever.
Once the river source was opened, many Core Forging cultivators who returned from the river source were massacred by Mara on a large scale on the vast grassland of the West Wasteland.
The other large demon clans in the Western Wasteland were also in danger. The three royal clans of the Pegasus, the Golden Roc, and the Koi all guarded their lair. On the other hand, the Western Wasteland Temple was not affected because it was close to Central Plains, and there were several large demon clans in the way.
During this period, the most sensational event in the cultivation world was the Fourth Elder of the Tenma people's pursuit of the last of the Six Divine Swords of the Zi Yang Palace, the Shaoze Sword, Xie Tianyang. This mid Dharma adept of the Tenma people chased after Xie Tianyang in the Western Wasteland for several days without being able to harm him.
What was even stranger was the battle that broke out in Qingqiu Mountain. The North Sea cultivator Lu Xuanping, the empyrean walker of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect, Wise Man Sang Yu, and Xie Tianyang of the Zi Yang Palace joined forces to fight the Fourth Elder of the Tenma people for a long time. It was only when the Dharma adepts of the Zi Yang Palace and the Spirit Beast Taming Sect came to their aid that they had no choice but to retreat.
When the news spread, it shook the entire cultivation world of Central Plains. Three late Core Forging adepts could actually fight a mid Dharma adept together. This was complete nonsense!
Even if the three of them were the best of their generation and were invincible among the adepts of the same level, who was this Mali Laozu? He was the Fourth Elder of the Tenma people. The Tenma people were most likely to become the fifth Dharma adept. Shouldn't he be able to take care of a few late Core Forging adepts with just a wave of his hand? The fact that the three of them managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived was a huge joke!
Those who heard the news often laughed it off, thinking that it was as ridiculous as the previous rumor that this Mali Laozu had chased after Xie Tianyang in Western Wilderness for several days without any results. Even if the story was true, it was likely that the Elder of the Tenma people had purposely gone easy on Xie Tianyang.
The Spirit Beast Taming Sect had always been mysterious and unpredictable. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close to them. Even if the crowd wanted to find out more information, there was no way to do so. Xie Tianyang announced that he would go into seclusion after returning to the Zi Yang Palace, and Xue Sanyi Laozu was not someone an ordinary adept could ask about. The Zi Yang Palace's glorious heavenly might also made people stay away from them.
Xie Tianyang was already a ninth-level Core Forging adept. Even without the trip to the river source, he would have been able to condense a high-grade Heaven-level spirit fire and achieve a ninth-level Golden Elixir. However, the trip to the river source had strengthened his foundation even further. His escape from the Western Wilderness, coupled with the experience of battling mid Dharma adepts, had given Xie Tianyang a lot of benefits. All of these had pushed his level of practice to the point where he was only one step away from the Dharma stage.
As such, if they wanted to find out more information, they could only look for the North Sea Zhenling adept, Lu Xuanping, who had suddenly appeared.
However, after that, Lu Xuanping seemed to have disappeared from the world of practice. No matter how many people went to Western Wilderness to look for him, there was still no news of him.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. On the Yulan River, a small boat was sailing eastward. Lu Ping stood at the end of the bridge, admiring the scenery on both sides of the river. Even though there was a huge waterfall, strong winds, and heavy rain, the small boat continued to move slowly along the Yulan River.
In the cabin of the small boat behind Lu Ping, Dabao, who had already recovered his Core Forging training, was now back in his human form. He was competing with a few Yulan River koi carps, which had been made into delicious delicacies using various methods. In another corner of the cabin, a fierce tiger with white eyes was lying in the corner, staring at Dabao, who was gorging himself.
The koi carps that Dabao was eating were a type of carp unique to the Yulan River, not the koi clan of yao cultivators. However, there were rumors that the koi carps of the Yulan River had some sort of connection with the koi clan. Unlike the koi clan, however, the koi carps of the Yulan River were unable to awaken their spiritual intelligence and practice cultivation. Instead, because the koi carps of the Yulan River were juicy and delicious, they became a world-famous dish.
During the past year, Lu Ping had been invited by Wu Tianxing Laozu of the Spirit Beast Sect to concoct pills. The location of the pill concoction was in the Western Wilderness, not far from the upper reaches of the Yulan River. Having recovered his cultivation, Dabao was extremely bored, so he set his mind on fishing by the river and began to study the various methods of cooking the koi carps of the Yulan River to satisfy his appetite.
Therefore, during the past year, although Dabao's cultivation hadn't increased by much, his weight had increased by at least twenty kilograms. His entire body seemed to have grown fatter and fatter, but his round head remained the same. His pair of slightly protruding front teeth looked sharper and sharper.
Dabao ate three koi carps in a row, each weighing about one and a half kilograms. Patting his somewhat bloated belly, he turned to look at the tiger in the corner and pointed at the remaining two koi carps, saying, "Little Hai, these are yours!"
A cheerful roar that startled the fishes and shrimps near the boat was emitted from the mouth of the fierce tiger in the corner. A shadow flashed across the cabin and a cooked koi in the basin was swallowed by the fierce tiger in one gulp. The tiger even ate the meat and the thorns merrily.
Dabao picked his teeth and said in a bored manner, "Slow down, slow down. It's not like anyone is trying to steal it. Tell me, what kind of taste can you get from eating like this? You're like a cow chewing on peonies! "
The tiger rolled its eyes at Dabao, then turned its mouth and ate half of the other koi carp.
Although Lu Ping was enjoying the scenery above the river, everything in the cabin naturally couldn't escape his divine sense.
This tiger was the drooping eyes white-fronted tiger cub that Lu Ping bought from the spirit beast shop in the small town. At the same time, it was the little sand fox Tu Chun that Lu Ping bought. When Lu Ping was refining pills for Wu Tianxing Laozu, Sang Yu discovered it and asked Lu Ping to return it to Qingqiu Hill.
Lu Ping thought of Sang Yu's relationship with the Qingqiu Hill Foxes that day, and he originally wanted to release Tu Chun, so he asked Sang Yu to bring it back to Qingqiu Hill.
The tiger cub was called Hu Xiaohai, but after Dabao's coercion and temptation, it had already given up the surname of the drooping eyes white-fronted clan and changed its name to Lu Xiaohai.
However, this name change caused a storm. After Lu Hai heard about it, he naturally would not give up this opportunity to make fun of it. Lu Xiaohai was born in the drooping eyes white-fronted clan and was born with a proud character. How could he stand this? At that time, he fought with Lu Hai.
Lu Hai was born in the Green Sea Snakes, and his noble bloodline was no less than that of Lu Xiaohai. He was already a master of the late stage of Forging Core. How could he put up with a tiger demon that had not yet transformed in his eyes? He casually played with it a few times and made Lu Xiaohai run around in circles.
In the end, it was Dabao who could not stand it anymore and protected Lu Xiaohai. Perhaps because both of them had the bloodline of Taoist Hu, from then on, besides Lu Ping, Lu Xiaohai was only close to Dabao.
In just over a year, with a large number of high-quality medicinal pellets and guidance from Lu Ping, the drooping eyes white-fronted tiger cub that was originally in the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm had advanced to the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. Under the temptation of Dabao's various delicacies, its originally emaciated appearance with messy fur gradually grew plump and strong, and its glossy fur was like brocade.
Dabao came out of the cabin and looked at Lu Ping with a smile. "Boss, after leaving the upper reaches of the Yulan River, you have been watching the scenery from the bow of the ship. What is there to see after more than ten days? Why don't I catch a few koi carps for you to taste? We are about to reach the boundary of the Hebei cultivation world. It will not be easy to eat such delicacies in the future! "
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Although the Hebei cultivation world is already in the lower reaches of the Yulan River, it is not where the estuary of the Yulan River is located!"
Dabao was stunned. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Boss, are you going to the plains cultivation world to participate in the Pure Yang Dharma Idol Conference of the Tianxuan Sect?"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "Tianxuan Sect's Seventh Fan Laozu has passed his third lightning tribulation and achieved the Pure Yang Dharma Idol. He is only one step away from becoming a celestial being. In the Central Plains cultivation world, this can be considered a grand event that only happens once every five hundred years. This time, the Pure Yang Dharma Idol Conference will definitely be attended by many heroes. Even the Five Holy Lands will send envoys to congratulate them. I believe that Martial Uncle Liang Tianfeng will also send disciples from the Immortal Academy. We can go there to take a look and meet up with the disciples from the Immortal Academy.
