Once Lu Ping finished speaking, not only did the three of them not leave, they even turned to look at him. Although they had black cloaks covering their faces, Lu Ping could still feel their intense gazes.
Lu Ping frowned. At this moment, he realized that the three people in front of him were not from the same group. The two on the left seemed to know each other, and they were both at the Transcendence Realm. Their cloaks fluttered without any wind, and they seemed to be discussing something. The person on the right had a much weaker aura, and he should be a Core Forging Realm cultivator, but he seemed to be hesitating about something.
When Lu Ping saw that the three of them were not talking, he walked towards his exhibition. At this moment, he saw that most of the most important items that he had visited today had disappeared. He couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that his harvest was not bad.
At this moment, The Friar on the right suddenly said, "Island Lord Huang Li?"
Hearing this name, Lu Ping was startled. He managed Huang Li Island independently, and he turned a small island into a fortress for Zhenling to wedge itself into the Demon Race's territory. Whether it was within Zhenling or in the North Sea cultivation world, the Water Sword Immortal's reputation was very famous. However, many of Lu Ping's friends from the same sect called him Island Lord Huang Li.
The newcomer addressed him as "Island Master Huang Li", clearly a test. This meant that the newcomer wasn't sure if the owner of the hut was Lu Ping. However, this confirmed Lu Ping's suspicions that the newcomer was a fellow disciple of Zhen Ling Sect. In that case, he should be from Ying Shan Immortal Courtyard.
This time, the person from Ying Shan Immortal Academy who came to Mysterious Sky City was Enlightened Xuantian. Lu Ping had seen him before, so Lu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Carefree?"
Enlightened Xuantian was the eldest disciple of Tianlin Laozu. Tianlin Laozu and Feng Xudao were known as the North Sea Twins, and he was also known as the Carefree Child. He built Carefree Palace in Zhenling, and his disciples were also known as the Carefree Lineage.
"Yes!"
The newcomer had obviously confirmed Lu Ping's identity. He heaved a long sigh of relief and immediately relaxed.
Lu Ping glanced at the two on the left and said to Xuantian Zhenren, "Let's talk inside!"
Daoist Master Xuantian nodded and walked towards the hut with Lu Ping.
The two people on the left had originally come for Lu Ping, but when they saw Lu Ping and Master Xuantian's conversation, which was like a code word, and actually confirmed each other's identities, they hesitated.
Seeing that Lu Ping was about to enter the house, one of the two people on the left couldn't hold it in any longer. He coughed lightly and said, "But Brother Lu is here!"
Lu Ping's expression sank when he heard this. Previously, although Daoist Master Xuantian had confirmed each other's identities, others would only be confused. However, these two people in front of him used some unknown method to confirm Lu Ping's identity and called him out openly. Although there were millions of people with the surname 'Lu' in the world, this action of the other party still made Lu Ping dissatisfied.
Although the cloak covered their faces, the person who spoke could still sense that Lu Ping's expression was definitely not good, so he hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, they are two old friends from Western Desolation!"
Lu Ping's heart moved, and he indifferently said, "Please come in!"
After entering the house, Lu Ping let the three people casually do as they pleased. Then he began to check the harvest of today's items.
As expected, the three Heaven and Earth Spirit items that Lu Ping had put out had already been exchanged. He now had a few more poisons and a batch of 3,000-year-old spirit herbs. At the very least, Lu Ping had collected back the 3,000-year-old spirit herbs he had used to refine the ten Small Forge Spirit Pills, and he still had a lot left.
Authentic Restriction Breaking Talismans were naturally rare items. Many cultivators would think of ways to obtain one or two, even if they couldn't use them at the time. In this day and age, who didn't want to have a lucky encounter?
Four three-colored and three four-colored Restriction Breaking Talismans were exchanged for one mid-grade and one high-grade earth spirit item for Lu Ping.
Lu Ping wasn't worried about the Minor Forging Spirit Pellet either. No one would miss out on a Minor Forging Spirit Pellet just because they cherished a low-grade heaven-grade spirit item. Unless, of course, they had a medicinal pellet that was even more precious than the Minor Forging Spirit Pellet.
Moreover, if Lu Ping's guess was correct, the reason why Xuantian Daoist was able to find this place was probably because of the Small Forge Spirit Pill. After all, only the three Alchemy Grandmasters of Zhenling could refine Small Forge Spirit Pills, and at this time, only Lu Ping was in the Central Region.
As for the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly, although Lu Zilan was also a wood elemental demon, Lu Ping no longer had any hope of encountering a spirit herb paradise like the Longhuai Ancestor's. Without the support of a large-scale spirit herb garden, Lu Zilan might not even be able to reach the mid Core Forging stage.
The Spiritual Water Meridian Nourishing Pill was somewhat unexpected for Lu Ping. Originally, he thought that it would be easy to exchange five Spiritual Water Meridian Nourishing Pills for a high-grade earth spirit item. After all, it was one of the best healing pills. He didn't expect that no one would be interested in it. Could it be that the price of a high-grade earth spirit item was too high?
On the other hand, the Soul-stabilizing Incense made Lu Ping's eyes light up. At that time, Lu Ping had hardened his heart and set a high price. He thought that unless he met an elegant and generous Dharma adept, it would be difficult to exchange 20 pieces of Soul-stabilizing Incense for a low-grade heaven spirit item.
In fact, Lu Ping had already prepared for the 20 pieces of Soul-stabilizing Incense to be ignored. In the end, he didn't expect that a low-grade heaven spirit item would be placed under the stone table where the Soul-stabilizing Incense had been placed.
Lu Ping put away the two heaven-grade spirit items and the high-grade earth spirit item. Then, he put away the other Mystic-grade spirit items that he had exchanged for the other items. Only then did he slowly walk towards the three of them.
Lu Ping, who came later, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lu. Are you free now? Let's talk in private!"
As he said this, he glanced at Xuantian Zhenren, who had come in with Lu Ping, obviously trying to avoid him.
Seeing this, Xuantian Zhenren smiled and stood up. "I'll take a look around first."
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing that Xuantian Zhenren had left, the two of them took off their cloaks. They were Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu. Opposite them, Lu Ping also took off his own cloak.
Xie Tianyang flicked the cloak and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid of bringing you trouble, I wouldn't have brought this out!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You're from the Purple Sun Palace, a direct disciple of the Middle Earth's sacred ground. As a true direct disciple, there's no need for you to hide. We all have to think about our own lives. After all, we don't have a sacred ground backing us!"
Xie Tianyang snickered. "That's true. At the very least, who knows how many cultivators in this underground palace are paying attention to the owner of the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly. The other holy lands and the Profound Sky Sect have already set up a trap. I originally wanted to inform you, but I didn't know how to find you. Later, I thought that with your cautiousness, you would definitely find something wrong. Sure enough, two days have passed, and the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly hasn't appeared. I'm afraid the person who set up the trap can't wait any longer."
Lu Ping was moved, but he asked, "Then how did you find me now?"
Xie Tianyang glanced at Sang Yu and said, "It's not me who found you, it's him!"
Sang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Xie didn't know that you're an Alchemy Grandmaster, nor did he know that you know the long-lost Spiritual Water Alchemy Technique. I just came in today and originally went to the Purple Sun Tower to find Brother Xie, but I didn't expect to hear from him that the Spiritual Water Meridian Nourishing Pill had appeared in the trade fair. Now, how could I not know that Brother Lu has come?"
The friendship between the three of them was forged when they went through life and death together in the Western Wilderness. Strictly speaking, Lu Ping had saved their lives, and the two of them had tried their best to help Lu Ping. Therefore, Xie Tianyang did not hide the fact that Lu Ping had the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly from Sang Yu. He knew that people like him, Lu Ping, and Sang Yu would not owe someone a favor for nothing, even if they needed help. They would definitely make it up to them later.
Lu Ping naturally understood this, so he did not say anything.
Xie Tianyang asked, "Who was that person just now? He seems to be more familiar with you than we are?"
Lu Ping said, "We're brothers, of course we're more familiar with each other than you!"
"Eh!"
Xie Tianyang smiled sheepishly and said, "So we're the outsiders. Island Master Huang Li, this name sounds so domineering. I heard that the islands in the Outer Seas are divided into giant, large, medium, small, and micro. What kind of island is this Huang Li Island of yours?"
Before Lu Ping could answer, Xie Tianyang seemed to have thought of something and said, "No, no, why does this Huang Li Island sound so familiar?"
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, then he saw Xie Tianyang suddenly say, "I remember now, North Sea's Huang Li Island, a micro island that Zhenling seized from Xuan Ling Sect. Later on, it was managed by Zhenling's third generation disciples. After the North Sea Demon Tribe launched the Beast Tide to attack the North Sea's cultivation world, Huang Li Island has become the frontline of the battle between humans and demons. The Demon Tribe has launched numerous attacks in an attempt to take back this island from Zhenling's hands, but to no avail. Now, the island is managed by Zhenling's Array Master, Hu Lili!"
Xie Tianyang recited this paragraph as if he was reciting a book, but he suddenly asked in confusion, "That's not right. This Huang Li Island is clearly managed by your sect's Array Master. How did you become the Island Master? Could it be that you've taken over the island?"
Lu Ping was secretly shocked. This was clearly the information about the North Sea that Purple Sun Palace had obtained. Now, it was recited by Xie Tianyang. Since when did the North Sea, which was regarded as a barren and enclave in the cultivation world, become so valued by a sacred ground like Purple Sun Palace?
Or rather, the North Sea's cultivation world had never escaped the attention of a major sacred ground like Purple Sun Palace. It was just that the North Sea's cultivation world had never known about it.
In fact, Lu Ping had experienced something similar before. However, it did not raise Lu Ping's vigilance like now. Or perhaps Xie Tianyang was secretly reminding Lu Ping of something.
Since Purple Sun Palace was acting this way, Lu Ping naturally believed that the other major sacred grounds and sects must be the same. Perhaps those major sects like Heavenly Xuan Sect had never relaxed their attention on the North Sea's cultivation world.
