Lu Ping calmed himself down and said, "What do you mean by a dove's nest occupied by a sparrow? Brother Xie, I didn't think that your sect would pay so much attention to a place as bitter as the North Sea. However, your sect's information is too inaccurate. You didn't even know that Hu Lili is my fiancée."
"Ah!"
Xie Tianyang exclaimed exaggeratedly and said, "So it's sister-in-law. So that's how it is. Earlier, when your fellow disciple called you Island Lord Huang Li, I thought Brother Sang had found the wrong person!"
Lu Ping did not dwell on this matter. Instead, he asked in a serious tone, "What business do the two of you have with me this time?"
Xie Tianyang pointed at Sang Yu and said, "He was the one who wanted to find you. At most, I'm just here to remind you not to fall for the Lightning Punishment Water. This matter has been hidden from the elders of the sect. If the elders of the sect find out about your identity, I'm afraid they will personally come looking for you. I won't be able to stop them."
Lu Ping was a little confused and asked, "It's because of the Amethyst Royal Jelly? This is also something that I do not understand. Although this item is a rare treasure in the world, and it is necessary to increase the success rate of Dharma adepts, and many longevity adepts require this item to be refined. However, if this item could cause the holy lands to join forces and set up a trap, I don't think I have the face to do so. "
Xie Tianyang helplessly shrugged and said, "You still don't know?"
Without waiting for Lu Ping to answer, Xie Tianyang only needed to see Lu Ping's stunned expression to know the answer. He continued, "Although the Amethyst Royal Jelly is precious, it is not enough to cause such a big reaction from the holy lands. However, if the Queen Bee that brewed the Amethyst Royal Jelly has advanced to the Core Forging stage, then the Royal Jelly refined by it will be extraordinary."
Lu Ping was shocked, but he still maintained a stunned expression and said, "A Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee? What's the difference? "
Although Lu Ping had roughly guessed the cause of the problem, with his alchemy skills, he didn't need to waste royal jelly on the Minor Forging Spirit Pills and Spirit Water Meridian Cultivating Pills. Plus, Lu Zilan had left some royal jelly for him before she advanced to the Core Forging Stage. Therefore, Lu Ping didn't use the Amethyst Royal Jelly that Lu Zilan made after she advanced to the Core Forging Stage.
"To be able to cultivate Amethyst Royal Jelly into a Core Forging Stage monster beast, there are records dating back to 20,000 years ago. After 20,000 years, until thousands of years ago, the Amethyst Bees disappeared from the cultivation world. Since then, not a single force has been able to cultivate an Amethyst Queen Bee to the Core Forging Stage."
"On the other hand, the royal jelly brewed by the Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee is twice as effective as the royal jelly brewed by the Blood Condensation Realm's royal jelly. In other words, the original ten percent increase in success rate will be increased by at least twenty percent. Also, I heard that the Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee has many other uses, but I don't know about them."
Xie Tianyang spoke with confidence and composure, but he didn't notice that Lu Ping's face had become increasingly gloomy.
Sang Yu, who was watching from the side, hurriedly tugged at the corner of Xie Tianyang's clothes. Xie Tianyang stared blankly at Lu Ping.
"Brother Xie!"
Lu Ping coldly said, "If I remember correctly, when I released the news about the Amethyst Royal Jelly, I only gave the shopkeeper a little honey. The Amethyst Queen Bee didn't need to personally make the Amethyst Queen Bee. It's possible that the royal jelly was brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee, but the honey shouldn't have been brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee. If I'm not wrong, the royal jelly was only given to you. Why is it causing such a ruckus now?"
Xie Tianyang was flabbergasted. Only now did he realize where the problem lay. His expression immediately became embarrassed. After a moment, he let out an embarrassed laugh and said, "This brother was negligent. After receiving the royal jelly from Brother Lu, this brother originally didn't know that it was actually brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee."
"That day, I saw a treasure belonging to Wuxing School's Qin Wuliang and wanted to trade for it. Unexpectedly, Qin Wuliang was extremely unwilling, and in the end, I could only take out the royal jelly. Unexpectedly, the person who came with Qin Wuliang that day was an Alchemist Grandmaster from Wuxing School. This person is very experienced and knowledgeable. With just a glance, he determined that Brother Lu's royal jelly was brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee. He immediately made the decision on behalf of Qin Wuliang to trade for the royal jelly."
Xie Tianyang smiled bitterly and said, "This brother also realized that something was wrong. It's just that at that time, I had already agreed to the other party's request, so I couldn't go back on my word. Fortunately, that Qin Wuliang could be considered reasonable. After knowing that the royal jelly was brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee, he lowered the price. Otherwise, even this brother would have suffered a great loss."
Lu Ping wasn't worried about this. He opened his mouth and asked, "Did they not ask Brother Xie where you obtained the royal jelly?"
Xie Tianyang smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, I obtained it from the cultivator who caused an uproar in Mysterious Sky Ancient City. For this, I even exchanged a portion of the Lightning Tribulation Water that my sect brought with me, and even offended the Mysterious Sky Sect. However, that cultivator was really strange. After I made the trade with him, I didn't find out anything about him."
Lu Ping nodded and relaxed. Xie Tianyang didn't divulge any information about himself because of the royal jelly.
However, the news of Xie Tianyang obtaining the royal jelly brewed by a Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee couldn't be concealed.
Sang Yu, who was at the side, suddenly interjected, "Actually, the big sects didn't only do this for the royal jelly."
Xie Tianyang was stunned. He turned his head and asked, "Why? Did Brother Sang also hear about it?"
The cultivators of the Spirit Taming Beast Sect roamed the world, so they were very well-informed about the news of the cultivation world.
Sang Yu nodded and said, "Brother Lu spread the news that he obtained the royal jelly from a senior's cave abode. The royal jelly of the Core Forging Amethyst Queen Bee only appeared about 20,000 years ago. In that case, the senior's cave abode that Brother Lu obtained was at least from a powerful cultivator from 20,000 years ago. I believe the two of you can imagine what a 20,000-year-old senior's cave abode means without me saying much."
Xie Tianyang sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Brother Lu, I didn't expect this."
Lu Ping was also dumbfounded, but he quickly calmed down and said, "That's nothing. The North Sea's Seven Star Grotto-Heaven opens once every 100 years. This is no secret in the North Sea's cultivation world. I obtained the royal jelly from there. However, if you want to enter the grotto-heaven, you must suppress your cultivation to the Blood Condensation Realm. Otherwise, you won't even be able to enter the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven's spatial passage."
Sang Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect the North Sea to have such ancient ruins."
Xie Tianyang didn't care and said, "The Seven Star Grotto-Heaven is indeed the blessed land of the seven famous Laozu's. This isn't a grotto-heaven, but a Minor Chiliocosm. However, that Minor Chiliocosm is already connected to this world. Back then, the seven Laozu's had the ability to transcend the heavens. Otherwise, why do you think no one has been able to obtain this spatial treasure despite the hundreds of cultivators who have reached the True Spirit Realm since ancient times?"
After transcending the lightning tribulation, a spatial treasure could form a Minor Chiliocosm. Its body was also called a spatial treasure.
Lu Ping roughly understood the situation. In his heart, he was even more determined not to reveal the royal jelly at this trade fair no matter what.
However, Lu Ping still made fun of Xie Tianyang and said, "Brother Xie, you didn't lose out in exchanging for Qin Wuliang's treasure, but I lost out in exchanging for your tribulation lightning water. At that time, I didn't realize that there was another name for the Core Forging royal jelly!"
Xie Tianyang made a vigilant expression and said, "Are you kidding me? We're done with the goods. Don't even think about the royal jelly!"
Lu Ping laughed and no longer paid attention to Xie Tianyang. Instead, he turned to Sang Yu and asked, "Oh right, Brother Sang, why did you come looking for me this time?"
Sang Yu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't come to find Brother Lu, but after coming to this trade fair, I heard about the royal jelly from Brother Xie. That's why I thought about it. After hearing about the Meridian Nourishing Pill, I was sure that Brother Lu was here, so I came looking for you."
It was also for the royal jelly!
Lu Ping looked at the two of them speechlessly and said, "Since Brother Sang has asked, I will definitely agree. However, I don't have much of this royal jelly. In order to get the tribulation lightning water, Brother Xie extorted three bottles from me. I'm really short on money now."
Sang Yu withdrew a jade bottle from his pocket and said, "Don't worry, I naturally won't let Brother Lu suffer a loss. This jade bottle contains six Spiritlink Pills that I've accumulated over the years. I know that the pets under Brother Lu's command are rather extraordinary. Even though Brother Lu has already obtained a few from Martial Ancestral Uncle Wu, I presume Brother Lu won't complain about having too many!"
When Lu Ping heard that it was a Spirit-Clearing Pill, his eyes immediately lit up. The Spirit-Clearing Pill was similar to the Spirit-Forging Pill. Each demonic cultivator could only take three at most. Currently, Lu Ping only allowed each of his spiritual pets to take one Spirit-Clearing Pill.
"How many does Brother Sang want?"
Lu Ping looked at the jade bottle and asked.
Xie Tianyang couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This guy had just said that he didn't have much royal jelly left, but when he saw the Spirit-Clearing Pill, he asked 'how many do you want'. It was as if Sang Yu could have as many as he wanted. Could it be that Xie Tianyang's tribulation lightning water was inferior to his Spirit-Clearing Pill?
Sang Yu scratched his head and took out a fist-sized piece of soil from his storage artifact. He said, "Six Spirit-Clearing Pills and this piece of Growing Soil. I want to exchange them for three bottles of royal jelly from Brother Lu."
Without waiting for Lu Ping to reply, Sang Yu continued, "I also know that these things aren't enough to exchange for three bottles of royal jelly. Originally, I found a Bloody Skeleton Flower in front of a small house today. I know that Brother Lu obtained the pill formula for the Spiritual Water Meridian Nourishing Pill from Martial Grand Uncle Wu. This Bloody Skeleton Flower is very suitable for Brother Lu, but I didn't expect that the small house would display it and want to exchange it for the Wonder Dew of Ten Thousand. Thinking about how precious the Wonder Dew of Ten Thousand is, where would I find it? In the end, I could only watch as the treasure was exchanged for by an Alchemy Grandmaster."
Sang Yu sighed as he spoke. Lu Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. The Bloody Skeleton Flower had indeed been exchanged for by him. It was just that everyone had been wearing black cloaks at the time, so no one knew each other's identities.
However, the fist-sized piece of Growing Soil was still considered a rare treasure. Although Lu Ping had obtained similar pieces of Growing Soil in the past, the one Sang Yu took out was undoubtedly of a higher quality. There were very few impurities in the solidified Growing Soil. Lu Ping's Growing Soil was a rare treasure.
"Alright, I'll exchange it!"
Sang Yu was overjoyed.
