Lu Ping chose two spiritual fields that were close to his cave dwelling. He purposely gave up the spiritual field that was carved out of the Hidden Spirit Land. Li Ziming called someone over to take over the spiritual field. After that, Lu Ping found out that Li Ziming had handed over the five mu of spiritual fields to his son to manage.
Li Yu, a True Spirit Side Hall's Grade 3 disciple, belonged to Group 19, and was in the Eighth Layer Blood Refining Realm.
Due to a series of secret techniques, the spiritual field's yield had increased, and the growth cycle had been shortened. This was a considerable amount of income for an ordinary Blood Refining Realm disciple. It was understandable that Li Ziming was willing to disregard his pride for his son. However, Li Ziming was a Mid Blood Condensation cultivator. Could it be that he was unwilling to give a few hundred spirit stones to his son? Why did he have to let his son covet the spiritual field?
One day, Yao Yong and Shi Lingling came to the island to play with Lu Ping. When they talked about the side hall's disciples, Yao Yong found out that Li Ziming and Li Cheng were uncle and nephew. Li Yu and Li Cheng were cousins, and Lin Sheng was also close to Li Yu and Li Ziming. The reason why Yao Yong could come to Huang Li Island was because of Li Ziming's recommendation.
It seemed like the root of the problem was still Li Cheng.
Lu Ping didn't have time to care about these messy schemes. The most important thing now was to move Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden and the spirit snake's lair into his cave dwelling.
The North Sea Alliance's meeting was nearing its end. The various sects' wrangling was also a pain in the ass. Finally, the coordination between the various sects' cultivators was completed. More and more cultivators gathered on the islands near the demon territory. Once the alliance gave the order, the cultivators would flood into the demon territory.
Lu Ping made use of the opportunity to carve the array formation on the spirit vein according to the requirements. He then placed the array formation plate on top of the clear spring in his cave dwelling. When the time came, he would move the spirit vein into his cave dwelling.
Lu Ping looked at a piece of yellow soil in his hand. This soil was called Spirit Stain Soil. It was a type of spiritual material used to refine high-grade earth-type defensive artifacts. Lu Ping had discovered it when he was carving a traction array formation in the spirit serpent's lair. Previously, when he was in the lair, he was only focused on digging up spirit herbs and didn't notice the difference in the soil. After widening his horizons in the Blood Condensation Depository, he returned to the lair this time and discovered that the place where the spirit vein gathered was actually a small ling ashen clay mine.
This was not a small amount of wealth, and Lu Ping was naturally happy. However, he did not have the time to mine it, and he did not want others to do it. So, he could only hide it for now. When he was short of money, he would become a miner himself.
The opportunity came very quickly. Zhang Zifeng, Li Ziming, and the other late stage Blood Condensation cultivators were called back to Xuan Qi Island by the sect to arrange for the plan to open up the sea. Lin Sheng also followed Li Ziming. Now, there were only five Blood Condensation cultivators left on the island, and two more had to patrol the sea.
This should be the best opportunity. These early stage Blood Condensation cultivators' knowledge was limited, and the movement of the spirit vein would not attract their attention. Only Hu Lili was knowledgeable and smart. She might be able to guess something. However, Lu Ping had saved her life before, and their relationship had always been close. He had some understanding of her, so he was not afraid of her spilling the beans.
After going through all these miscellaneous things in his mind, Lu Ping activated the traction formation. After a while, Huang Li Island suddenly shook. The mortals on the island thought it was an earthquake and ran out of their homes. Even the cultivators on the island were alerted. They patrolled the island to see if there were any demonic beasts causing trouble.
After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, everyone thought it was just an ordinary earthquake. Just as they were about to return to their homes, Huang Li Island suddenly shook again. This time, the mortals on the island were even more panicked. They quickly searched for open space to prevent their houses from collapsing and causing casualties.
Leaving aside the panic caused by Lu Ping's movement of the spirit vein, Lu Ping was currently standing by the side of a clear spring, breathing in the gradually thickening spiritual energy in his cave abode. He had a look of intoxication on his face.
Just as Lu Ping was admiring his cave abode, the formation outside the cave was triggered. Someone had come to visit!
Lu Ping returned to the living room and closed the connection between the living room and the cave abode. The stone door was sealed with a Blood Condensation Spirit-Sealing Talisman that Lu Ping forged himself.
As Lu Ping expected, the visitor was Hu Lili.
Drinking the Cloud Opening Tea that Lu Ping brewed with spirit spring water, Hu Lili praised, "Junior Martial Brother Lu sure knows how to enjoy life. You're even willing to buy spirit tea."
Lu Ping smiled, "It's just the lowest grade of spirit tea. I still have some with me. I'll bring some back for Senior Martial Sister to taste later."
Hu Lili chuckled, "The cheapest one costs at least a hundred spirit stones per tael. Thanks to you."
Lu Ping asked, "Senior Martial Sister, what brings you here this time?"
Hu Lili put down the teacup and said, "You've been on Huang Li Island for so long, have you ever encountered an earthquake?"
Lu Ping inwardly thought that this woman was indeed suspicious, so he said, "No, but earthquakes often happen on the sea, so it's not a strange thing. Could it be that Senior Martial Sister thinks that it's the demonic beasts attacking?"
Hu Lili rolled her eyes at Lu Ping and said, "If there's really a demonic beast that can cause an earthquake on Huang Li Island, we'll be walking right into the tiger's mouth. Strange, this kind of earthquake is similar to the changes in the earth veins and volcanic eruptions mentioned in the books, but I can't remember which one it is exactly. "
Lu Ping was secretly impressed. This woman is really good. I'm only avoiding one possibility, but she already has a few guesses. That's fine, you can take your time to guess.
After sending Hu Lili off, the next step was to take some time to transplant all the spiritual herbs from Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden over. Lu Ping opened up a spiritual herb garden about one mu in size in his cave dwelling. Originally, there was still a lot of space in the cave dwelling, but if there were more, the growth of the spiritual herbs would affect his cultivation.
For the next three days, Lu Ping used the excuse of patrolling the sea to secretly transplant the spiritual herbs from Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden into his cave dwelling. At the same time, he grinded the spiritual soil from the spirit snake's nest into fine ash and sprinkled it on the soil of the spiritual herb garden. The spiritual soil could help the spiritual herbs absorb spiritual energy and shorten the time needed for the spiritual herbs to ripen.
Most of the spiritual herbs in Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden had already been used up by him. Although they were all century-old Blood Refining spiritual herbs that didn't take up too much space, they only took up less than half an mu of land. As for the rest of the spiritual field, Lu Ping carefully planned it himself. He carefully planted the spiritual herb seeds that he bought from the Pill Store and other places in the city square, then sprinkled the spiritual spring water on them.
Now, Lu Ping no longer needed to buy spiritual spring water to sprinkle on the spiritual field or brew spiritual tea. His cave dwelling had a ready supply of spiritual spring water. However, in order to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping, Lu Ping added a Soul Trapping Array Formation to the cave-dwelling's protective array, the Ice River Slaughter Array Formation. This array formation could trap the spiritual energy in the cave-dwelling. Even if the spiritual spring water flowed out of the cave-dwelling, the spiritual energy would be intercepted and turned into ordinary spring water.
