After sending Qinghu off, the waiter, who had been waiting at the entrance of the tea room, was about to approach Lu Ping, but he saw that Lu Ping had ignored him and was staring at the sky.
When the waiter looked up, he saw a talisman flash by. A yellow talisman had appeared in Lu Ping's hand.
The waiter knew what was going on and stood back, not daring to disturb him. Then, he heard the sound of the stairs in the teahouse, and a voice was heard, "Is it Junior Brother Lu? I followed your Sound Transmission Talisman and came here!"
Lu Ping smiled at the waiter, then raised his voice. "Is it Senior Brother Xuantian? I've been waiting here for a long time! "
After turning the stairs, the person in front was wearing a large robe and a crown. He had some of the elegance of Jiang Tianlin Laozu. This was Jiang Tianlin Laozu's eldest disciple, Xuantian Zhenren, who had broken through to the eighth stage of Core Forging.
Following closely behind Jiang Tianlin Laozu was a woman in her thirties. Lu Ping hurriedly went forward to welcome her. "Senior Sister Xuancai is here too. I have to congratulate you for successfully advancing to the late stage of Core Forging. You're one step closer to becoming a Dharma Adept!"
This woman was Perfected Qi Xuancai, who had taken over the management of the Ying Shan Immortal Academy from Perfected Liu Xuanyuan. After a few years, Perfected Qi Xuancai had successfully broken through to the late stage of Core Forging.
Lu Ping welcomed the two of them into the tea room. The three of them sat down, and Dabao hurriedly served honey tea.
Perfected Qi Xuancai took a sip of the tea and glanced at Dabao. "Junior Brother has many good things here. You're the only one in the cultivation world who can use Purple Crystal Honey to make tea!"
Lu Ping knew that Daoist Profound Cai was actually a little worried about Dabao, so he smiled. "If Senior Sister likes it, I still have some extra here. I can leave them with Dabao. If Senior Sister needs anything, just ask him."
Lu Ping was also telling Perfected Xuancai that Lu Ping could hand over such an important treasure like the Amethyst Honey to Dabao. Naturally, Dabao could be trusted.
"What's the current situation of the cultivation world in Hebei?"
Since there were no more worries, Lu Ping asked directly. Although Qing Die had explained the situation of the cultivation world in Hebei, she was not part of it. Some things could only be known by participating in it.
"What a mess!"
Daoist Profound Cai paused for a moment before continuing, "The Spirit Martial Sect has been ambushed, and the entire sect is in a state of half-sealing the mountain. The other sects are still in a state of disunity. It's a good thing that the Hebei region did not have another Mara disaster. Otherwise, it's unknown whether the Hebei region would be able to withstand another Mara disaster."
As Lu Ping listened to Daoist Profound Cai's explanation, and Daoist Profound Tian's interjection, he finally had a clearer understanding of the current cultivation world in Hebei. After that, Lu Ping asked a lot more about the Ying Shan Immortal Academy and found out that everything was normal. Moreover, in the past six or seven years, many disciples with great potential had advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm and were sent back to the North Sea to be nurtured. Only then did he relax.
After the three of them finished talking about the Immortal Academy, Lu Ping asked, "Has there been any news from the sect? What's the situation in the North Sea?"
Xuan Cai and Xuan Tian looked at each other. Only then did Xuan Tian say, "Let me do the talking. Other than celebrating Old Ancestor Seven Fan's attainment of the Pure Yang Dharma Idol, there's another reason we came to the Arcane Tianxuan Ancient City this time. The sect has sent word that Junior Brother Lu needs to return to the North Sea as soon as possible."
Lu Ping's expression froze and he asked, "Did something happen in the sect?"
Daoist Profound Tian shook his head. "Uncle-Master Liang did not say much, but I guess it might have something to do with Master's first Dharma Tribulation."
"So fast?"
Lu Ping was a little surprised. "How long has it been since Uncle-Master Jiang attained Dharma?"
However, he quickly recovered. In the Ying Tian Temple, Jiang Tianlin Laozu, Xuan Ling Sect's Feng Xutao, and Cang Hai Sect's Zhang Xiyi had all obtained the Dharma Souls left behind by the Dharma adepts of the Ying Tian Temple.
Among them, Feng Xutao had assimilated with the Dharma Soul on the spot. Although he could not fully absorb the wonders of the Dharma Soul, it was the fastest way to increase a practitioner's level. Not long after leaving the Ying Tian Temple, he successfully passed his first Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the mid Dharma stage.
Although Jiang Tianlin Laozu had used a step-by-step method, more than 20 years had passed. With Jiang Tianlin Laozu's talent, not only had he assimilated the Dharma Soul, but he had also probably suppressed his level of training for many years. Otherwise, he would have long passed his Thunder Tribulation and become a mid Dharma adept.
Before every practitioner passed their Thunder Tribulation, they would usually appoint a Core Forging adept to follow them. This was because during the Thunder Tribulation, the various treasures on the practitioner would not be of use. At the same time, they were also afraid that if the practitioner failed to pass the Thunder Tribulation, these treasures would be turned into ashes. Hence, the Dharma adept would usually hand these treasures over to the Core Forging adept for safekeeping.
And the safekeeping person was naturally someone that the Dharma adept was extremely close to and trusted. At the same time, the Core Forging adept was actually the successor of the Dharma adept. Hence, every Core Forging adept who followed the Dharma adept through the Thunder Tribulation had to be selected very strictly, and the significance of the selection was not ordinary.
However, what confused Lu Ping was that with Jiang Tianlin Laozu's current level of ability, although he could not pass the Thunder Tribulation unscathed, it was almost certain that he would succeed.
Even if Jiang Tianlin Laozu was cautious and needed to choose someone to follow him through the Thunder Tribulation, the first person should be Xuan Tian, who had followed him for hundreds of years. If that was the case, why did he recall Lu Ping back to the North Sea because of this?
Lu Ping looked at Xuan Tian Zhenren. Xuan Tian Zhenren was the eldest disciple of Jiang Tianlin Laozu, so he must know something. Furthermore, as the eldest disciple of Jiang Tianlin Laozu, he was also the actual leader of the Xiaoyao and Chong Hua factions. Lu Ping wondered if he would have any other thoughts after hearing about this.
Although Lu Ping's ability could be said to be invincible among the three generations of Zhenling, whether it was status or experience, he could not compare to this disciple who had followed Jiang Tianlin Laozu and Liu Tianling Laozu for hundreds of years. Lu Ping also had a lot of respect for this senior brother of his, and he did not want to cause a gap between the two of them because of this matter.
Xuan Tian Zhenren seemed to understand what Lu Ping was thinking. He spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. With Master's ability, there is no need for him to follow anyone. He probably needs an excuse for something else. It's just that when Celestial Phenomenon Laozu went through the second Thunder Tribulation, he chose you as his follower. This time, Master chose you again. It's inevitable that the other practitioners in the sect will be jealous!"
The speaker had no ulterior motive, but the listener had an ulterior motive. Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Could it be because of the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash?
When Lu Ping observed Celestial Phenomenon Laozu going through the Thunder Tribulation, the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash had swallowed the Thunder Tribulation and condensed it into a treasure. In the end, when it condensed three treasures, it also divided the strength of the Thunder Tribulation, allowing Celestial Phenomenon Laozu to pass the Thunder Tribulation and become a Dharma adept. From then on, Zhenling's status in the North Sea was like the sun at high noon.
Could it be that this time, it was Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's idea to summon Lu Ping to the North Sea? Not only could he use the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash to reduce the difficulty of Jiang Tianlin Laozu's Thunder Tribulation, but at the same time, it could also improve the quality of the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash. The latter was probably the main reason.
After all, when Lu Ping had used the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash to help Celestial Phenomenon Laozu pass the Thunder Tribulation, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu had instructed him not to tell anyone about the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash. Currently, in the entire Zhenling, other than Hu Lili and Celestial Phenomenon Laozu himself, even his own teacher didn't know that he had the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash, the legendary first divine artifact.
After understanding the reason, Lu Ping instantly relaxed. He then asked, "Senior, do you have any news about Huang Li Island?"
As soon as Lu Ping said this, he saw Xuan Tian and Xuan Cai smiling ambiguously at him. Lu Ping knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care. Although his relationship with Hu Lili hadn't been officially confirmed, everyone in Zhenling knew about it.
However, Lu Ping wasn't entirely because of Hu Lili. After all, Huang Li Island was Lu Ping's life's work. Lu Ping had been gone for nearly twenty years, so he was naturally very concerned about the situation on Huang Li Island.
Spiritual Master Xuan Tian took out a few jade slips and handed them to Lu Ping. He said, "These are from your wife, Xuan Yong, Xuan Xuan, Xuan Jian, and Xuan Lian."
Lu Ping took the jade slips and found that they all had a faint purple tint on them. This meant that there was a lot of information inside. With Spiritual Master Xuan Tian and the others in front of him, Lu Ping didn't want to neglect the two just because he wanted to check the contents of the jade slips.
On the side, Spiritual Master Xuan Cai was a meticulous person. Seeing this, she said, "Junior Brother, do you have any plans for this trip to Mysterious Sky Ancient City? Do you want to come with us to see Pure Yang Laozu?"
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. The Pure Yang Convocation will be grand. With our status, I'm afraid we will only be able to sit in a remote place. We may not be able to appreciate Pure Yang Laozu's elegance."
Lu Ping told the two about his trip to Mysterious Sky Ancient City in search of Lightning Tribulation Elixir. Although Xuan Tian and Xuan Cai were surprised, their faces were full of joy. In Zhenling's history, only Laozu could form a Golden Core after condensing a high-grade Heaven-step spirit item. Moreover, Lu Ping had condensed Lightning Tribulation Elixir, something that could make Dharma Idol Laozu tremble, so it was very possible for him to form a top-grade Golden Core.
After sending off Xuan Tian and Xuan Cai, Lu Ping pondered for a moment in the tea room. He briefly looked through the jade slips sent by his friends and Hu Lili. From beginning to end, his face didn't reveal the slightest emotion.
After a while, Lu Ping called the waiter, who had been waiting outside the tea room, into the tea room.
Lu Ping looked at the uneasy waiter in front of him, smiled, and said, "Is it because of my spirit tea?"
After Lu Ping brewed the Amethyst Honey Tea, this waiter had been waiting outside the tea room where Lu Ping was. Lu Ping could naturally guess the reason.
Originally, Lu Ping didn't want to bother with him, but now he changed his mind and said, "You can't make the decision on this matter. Go and call your shopkeeper over!"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and went away with a joyful expression.
