In Tian Xuan Sect's Tian Xiang Teahouse, Lu Ping took a sip of the tea served by his son and couldn't help but frown. He put down the teacup and waved at his son.
"What can I do for you, Senior?"
The fact that the waiter was a Blood Condensation cultivator surprised Lu Ping.
Lu Ping pointed at the teacups on the table and said, "Remove these!"
Although the waiter didn't understand, he still followed Lu Ping's order and removed all the tea sets.
Lu Ping threw a mid-grade spirit stone to the waiter and told him not to disturb him. He then asked Dabao to brew a pot of top-grade spirit tea.
The tea was plucked from several top-grade spirit tea trees he obtained from the Treasured Mirror of Abundance's Heavenly Abode, and the water was spirit water Lu Ping extracted from the river source. He also added a few drops of Amethyst Bee Honey. The entire teahouse was immediately enveloped by a light and elegant tea fragrance, which then spread throughout the entire teahouse. The customers in the teahouse called the waiter over and asked him about it.
The cultivators who could drink tea in this Tian Xiang Teahouse were naturally not ordinary people, so the waiter didn't dare to offend them. He stepped forward to explain to them one by one, even alerting the shopkeeper. It wasn't until they learned that the tea fragrance was brewed by the customers themselves and not from the teahouse that the customers let go of the sweating waiter.
Even so, there were still many tea lovers who asked the waiter if he could buy some spirit tea from Lu Ping. The waiter didn't dare to offend the customers, but Lu Ping also ordered him not to disturb them, so he anxiously paced back and forth outside Lu Ping's teahouse.
Lu Ping was naturally aware of the situation outside the teahouse, but Lu Ping's spirit tea was not easy to make, and he didn't lack spirit stones. He just pretended not to know and leisurely sipped his tea in the teahouse, waiting for Qing Hu to come.
Although Dabao was a demon cultivator, he was Lu Ping's follower and was only a low-grade demon, so he naturally didn't attract as much attention as Lu Xiaohai and Samling. Moreover, in the human world of cultivation, it was common for high-grade cultivators to bring one or two spirit pets as companions, so it wouldn't attract any criticism.
Dabao also brewed a cup of spirit tea for himself, but the cup he used was too big, more like a bowl. After the spirit tea was brewed, he didn't drink it, but drank it all in one gulp. Then, he circulated his True Essence to refine the Spiritual Qi essence, and used it to improve his cultivation.
Ever since Dabao advanced to the Core Forging Stage, Lu Ping no longer allowed him to take all kinds of pills to improve his cultivation. Dabao's temperament was jumpy, so how could he calm down and cultivate? Therefore, in these years, Dabao's cultivation had only just broken through to the second layer of the Core Forging Stage, and even Dabao's cultivation had advanced to the third layer of the Core Forging Stage. This caused Dabao to desperately throw himself at something that could shorten his cultivation time.
Dabao drank three big bowls in a row, completely losing the spirit tea inside. Then, he wiped his mouth and said, "Boss, don't tell me you're really thinking about that Seven Fans Laozu?"
Lu Ping was stunned and said, "What idea?"
Dabao looked at Lu Ping in surprise and said, "What else could it be? Tribulation Lightning Water! Didn't Wu Tianxing say that when a Dharma adept goes through the Tribulation Lightning, they can condense tribulation lightning water from the Tribulation Lightning? Seven Fans Laozu has gone through three Tribulations and achieved the Pure Yang Dharma Power, so he must have even more tribulation lightning water! "
Lu Ping looked at Dabao unhappily and said, "Let's not talk about whether a practitioner would dare to divert their attention to condense tribulation lightning water when going through the Tribulation Lightning. Even if they were lucky enough to condense a few drops, in the hands of someone like Seven Fans Laozu, do you think we have a chance to get anything from him?"
When a practitioner went through the Tribulation Lightning, it was like a Dharma Power facing a pot of boiling oil. The first Tribulation Lightning was just a few drops of boiling oil splashing out of the pot, and at most, it would leave a few spots on the Dharma Power. Even so, most early Dharma adepts would die from these few spots.
The second Tribulation Lightning was like pouring boiling oil all over the practitioner's body, and this was much more serious. When it came to the third Tribulation Lightning, it was basically putting the practitioner in a pot of oil and frying him. Only if he could survive it would he be able to achieve the Pure Yang Dharma Power.
In this kind of life-threatening situation, the practitioner's Dharma Power would be trying its best to resist the Tribulation Lightning, so how would it have the time to condense tribulation lightning water from the Dharma Power that was already like boiling oil? Wouldn't the practitioner be blasted to death by the Tribulation Lightning?
Even if it was a Dharma adept who had the energy to spare, at this time, they would have to focus all their attention on absorbing and refining the Pure Yang Qi. After all, this was the most useful thing for a practitioner after going through the Tribulation Lightning. Although tribulation lightning water was precious, it would not be of much help to a Dharma adept's level of practice.
Dabao let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you didn't. I thought Boss came to Tianxuan Ancient City after hearing the news from Wu Tianxing, just for the tribulation lightning water."
Lu Ping looked at the relieved Dabao and smiled. "Yes, the tribulation lightning water is related to whether or not I can advance to the pinnacle of the Core Forging stage. If there's a chance, of course I won't let it go!"
Dabao's face fell when he heard this. "No way, Boss!"
As the two of them chatted, footsteps came from outside the door. Green Fox had arrived.
Green Fox was dressed like a man. When she entered the tea room and saw Lu Ping, she smiled and said, "The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant has always been the most famous restaurant in Tianxuan Ancient City, and it is famous in the entire cultivation world. It has all kinds of famous teas and spiritual water. Who would have thought that today, a customer would use his own spiritual tea to beat us? This has already caused a commotion among the customers of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. I was just trying to guess what kind of tea it was, but I didn't expect the mysterious customer to be Brother Lu!"
Lu Ping gestured for Green Fox to sit down. Beside him, Dabao hurriedly took out his tea set and brewed Purple Crystal Honey Tea for Green Fox. The refreshing fragrance of the tea filled the air again. Green Fox held the tea set in her hands, but before she could taste it, she was already immersed in the atmosphere.
"It really is a good tea!"
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Although the tea is good, it's not that good. The subtlety is just a drop of Purple Crystal Honey!" Green Fox had naturally seen the process of Dabao dripping Purple Crystal Honey into the tea, but she didn't know what kind of treasure it was.
However, when she heard that the drop of amethyst liquid was actually the legendary Amethyst Honey that had long disappeared in the cultivation world, her face was instantly filled with astonishment. She asked, "Is it really Amethyst Honey?"
Seeing Lu Ping nod with a smile, Green Fox sighed slightly and said, "Brother Lu, you really have many tricks up your sleeves. You're always unpredictable. If word got out that you're using Purple Crystal Honey to brew tea, who knows how many pill refiners would beat their chests and shout that they're a wastrel!"
Lu Ping smiled but didn't say anything. On the other hand, Dabao, who was standing to the side, secretly cursed, "Boss has a whole colony of Purple Crystal Bees. Even the Queen Bee can be cultivated to the point where it can transform. How can he be short of Purple Crystal Honey? Boss doesn't even use Purple Crystal Honey for alchemy, he only uses Purple Crystal Royal Jelly!"
Green Fox took a sip of the honey tea and savored the aftertaste for a moment. Then she put down the cup and said with a serious face, "On behalf of the Green Fox Clan, I, Qing Die, thank you for your trip to the West Wilderness!"
At this time, more than a year had passed since the opening of the river source. Ma Chen Xi's death was because she had a father who was famous in the cultivation world, plus she was also a top existence among the Core Forging stage cultivators, so it was not a small matter in the cultivation world.
This period of time was enough for the news to spread to the Cultivation world of the plains. Green Fox naturally heard about it, but it was only now that Lu Ping learned that Green Fox's real name was Qing Die. This also meant that Qing Die was officially under Lu Ping's command, and the Green Fox Nine Bandits were now truly under Lu Ping's control.
Lu Ping waved his hand and said casually, "This is nothing. Tell me about the recent situation in the Tianxuan Ancient City. Is there any progress on the matter I asked you to do?"
Qing Die took a sip of tea and said, "Seven Fan Laozu's Pure Yang Dharma Assembly can be said to be a grand occasion. According to the news, almost all the major sects that participated in this dharma assembly came. In addition to the five holy lands, the East Sea Crystal Palace also sent people to congratulate him. In addition, the Yuwen Clan, the West Wilderness Palace, the Tai Xuan Sect, and other sects and aristocratic families also sent people to congratulate him. Even the mysterious Spirit Beast Taming Sect is said to have sent cultivators this time. In short, this grand event can be said to be unprecedentedly grand, and the participating cultivators are also difficult to distinguish …"
Lu Ping nodded, but this was not what he was concerned about at the moment. So he opened his mouth and interrupted Qing Die, "Is there any news about the Thunder Tribulation Elixir in the Tianxuan Ancient City?"
"The Thunder Tribulation Elixir, a high-grade heaven-step spiritual item?"
Qing Die looked at Lu Ping in surprise, and immediately realized that this was what Lu Ping needed. This meant that the Gold Core that her lord was about to condense must be of the ninth grade. This was a top-grade Gold Core that only the direct descendants of those holy lands and big sects with a long history could aspire for.
Qing Die calmed herself down and said with regret, "Although I have heard about the underground auctions in the Tianxuan Ancient City this time, I have never heard of any news about the Thunder Tribulation Elixir."
Naturally, Lu Ping also knew that this kind of treasure was rare. Even if someone wanted to trade it, it was impossible to make it known to everyone. He asked Qing Die just in case.
However, a trace of disappointment appeared on Lu Ping's face. Qing Die continued, "However, I heard that one of the auctions is specifically for the trading of spiritual items. Moreover, it is barter. After all, spiritual items are rare, and a high-grade heaven-step spiritual item is too precious. The Thunder Tribulation Elixir is a heaven-step among heaven-step. The probability of it appearing is almost zero."
Lu Ping was shocked. In any case, this was a possible channel. He stared at Qing Die and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qing Die did not stay with Lu Ping for long. She briefly told Lu Ping about the situation in the Tianxuan Ancient City and the information about the underground auctions. Then, she said, "This time, the various sects in the cultivation world of Hebei will also send cultivators to congratulate the Seven Fans Laozu. I heard that the Ying Shan Immortal Academy has sent a late-stage Core Forging Realm elder to lead the team. Since Guo Tianshan Laozu went into seclusion a year ago, the Ying Shan Immortal Academy is now in charge of everything."
