After Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, he immediately started moving the medium sized spirit vein from the House of Gold to Huang Li Island.
Due to the Spirit Transfer Formation and the jade-like artifact spirit that Jiao Yuqiang had set up back then, the spirit vein had almost run out of ore in the past four thousand years. Adding on the damage Lu Ping had suffered while moving the spirit vein, he would need to seal the spirit vein for a period of time in order to completely recover.
Because this spirit vein was of great importance, Lu Ping didn't make it public and secretly moved it to an inconspicuous place not far from Lu Ping's cave abode.
Sixth Brother Lei directly opened up a cave abode nearby and secretly guarded the spirit vein.
After hearing Sixth Brother Lei's mysterious words, Lu Ping couldn't help but be surprised. Who would want to see him outside?
Half a day later, Lu Ping returned to the cave abode and gave some orders to Hu Lili and Sixth Brother Lei. Then, he sent someone to call Wang Qi and Tian Yue over.
Before Wang Qi broke through to the Core Forging Realm, he had been cultivating with Du Feng. Due to Lu Ping's intentional orders, Du Feng had suppressed Wang Qi's cultivation and prevented him from breaking through. This allowed Wang Qi to accumulate enough foundation in the Blood Condensation Realm.
After advancing to the Core Forging Realm on Frost Island, Wang Qi's foundation was unleashed. In just a dozen or so years, Wang Qi's cultivation had broken through to the second level of the Core Forging Realm.
Tian Yue had also touched the threshold of the second level of the Core Forging Realm. With the help of the medium sized spirit vein on Huang Li Island, he had also successfully entered the Core Forging Realm.
Right now, both of them were Lu Ping's disciples. Wang Qi was the first to break through to the Core Forging Realm and become the first disciple of Hearing Wave Manor. Tian Yue was the second.
Lu Ping brought the two of them to Heaven Spirit Mountain to meet his master, Liu Tianling, Laozu.
The sect master of Heaven Spirit Mountain couldn't help but give his two grand-disciples a gift that he had prepared beforehand.
After the greetings, Lu Ping finally told his master the purpose of his visit.
Liu Tianling Laozu frowned and said, "Oh, these two disciples of yours have only been under your tutelage for a short while, haven't they? They've only learned a small portion of your abilities, yet you dare to throw one of them to the Middle Earth and the other to Frost Island?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Their experiences over the years have all been arranged by me. I have taught them a lot of what needs to be taught, and I have also provided them with a platform to hone themselves. As for how much they can learn, it will depend on their own efforts and luck. As the saying goes, if a jade is not polished, it will not be useful. If they think that they are unpolished jade, they will not worry about their own futures. "
Liu Tianling Laozu looked at the two grand-disciples, Wang Qi and Tian Yue. Seeing that they both had a well-thought-out expression, he smiled and said, "It seems that I, as the grandmaster, am being unreasonable. Fine, since you have already arranged everything, then let's go according to your plan!"
After a moment of silence, Liu Tianling Laozu continued, "After a while, your Senior Uncle Tianqin will go to the Middle Earth to replace your Senior Uncle Tianfeng. Junior Nephew Xuan Fang will also come back. This way, Ying Shan Side Courtyard will have one less Pill Master, and Xuan Yue can go to Ying Shan Side Courtyard to fill the gap. As for Xuan Qi, she should still follow Xuan Feng. Mara's attacks on Frost Island are becoming more frequent and intense, so a big battle is likely to be unavoidable. Frost Island is too important to the cultivation world of North Sea, so North Sea will definitely go all out. You just need to be careful when you get there. "
Wang Qi and Tian Yue thanked the grandmaster and were about to leave the Palace of Repetition Beauty when they saw Lu Ping take out two storage pouches and say, "These are some of the things you will need for your daily cultivation. Use them as you see fit."
After passing the storage pouches to the two of them, Lu Ping looked at Tian Yue and said, "That Spirit Explosion Art can be considered a secret alchemy technique of mine. You need to practice it seriously. It is not easy to obtain the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly, so you must use it carefully. In the Middle Earth, other than yourself, do not let anyone know that you have such a treasure on you. Otherwise, there will be a great disaster. The Middle Earth is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, so don't be restricted to a corner of Ying Shan Side Courtyard.
Then, Lu Ping looked at Wang Qi and said, "Although the cultivation method you've been cultivating is not bad in our sect, it's still far from being comparable to our sect's five true inheritances. Cultivate the jade scroll I gave you on Frost Island seriously. The metal-elemental cultivation method in it is no weaker than our sect's five true inheritances. If you're lucky enough in the future, you might even be able to reach the Grand Cultivator Realm. Of course, if you become complacent just because you've become my disciple, I don't mind expelling you two from the sect."
After a round of admonishment, Lu Ping sent the two of them out. When he turned around, he saw Liu Tianling looking at him with a smile and said, "Not bad. This teacher has done a good job combining strength and gentleness. Did you enjoy it?"
Lu Ping said honestly, "I won't hide it from you, Teacher. I was just pretending, but it was indeed very tiring. I do envy your nine disciples, including Sister Xuanxuan. They have all been taught by Teacher to such an extent. In this aspect, I am far inferior."
Liu Tianling Laozu smiled, then his face darkened. He said, "This time, I did not intend to let you participate, but you insisted on coming. Although your current strength can even kill Dharma adepts, there are mid Dharma adepts from various sects participating in this trip to the Vast Sea Treasure. Who knows, there might be people with ulterior motives who will go after you."
Lu Ping nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Teacher. What's more, Elder Tiankang is going with me this time, so there's nothing for me to worry about."
Liu Tianling Laozu smiled and said, "You're a smart one. However, this time when you enter the Vast Sea Treasure, you have to be especially careful of the Primordial Crocodile clan practitioners. You killed the Golden Serpent Laozu's Spirit Companion Beast, and his son, daughter, and adopted son also died by your hands. It can be said that there is an irreconcilable hatred between you and him."
Lu Ping stepped on the ocean-crossing boat and sped all the way to a deserted island near Huan Yu Island. Tiankang Laozu had already been waiting there for a long time.
Because the buildings on Huan Yu Island had all collapsed because of the Vast Sea Treasure that had suddenly been unearthed, the practitioners of the various sects had no place to stay. In addition, the sects and the North Sea Demon Clan had to keep an eye on each other, so the practitioners of the various sects had settled on the deserted islands and coral islands near Huan Yu Island.
When Tiankang Laozu saw Lu Ping coming, he couldn't help but frown and say, "This time, the various sects set the rules for entering the Vast Sea Treasure, requiring each sect to only allow one mid Dharma adept to bring one Core Forging disciple. The sects of the North Sea and the Demon Clan knew that your strength far exceeds that of a Core Forging cultivator of the same level, but they still set such a rule. The Old Man sensed that this was aimed at you, so the Old Man specially informed the Sect Leader that you're not allowed to come. I didn't think that you'd come yourself!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "We still don't know what the situation inside the Vast Sea Treasure is like, and the sects can't possibly come just for their disciples. As long as these people focus their energy on the Vast Sea Treasure, then anything can happen. Furthermore, it won't be that easy for them to take the lives of their disciples!"
Tiankang Laozu laughed and said, "Looks like the Old Man is really getting old. I can't stand the vigor of you youngsters. Fine, although the Old Man doesn't have long to live, other than the Dharma adepts, these people are nothing to the Old Man. This time, I'll let the Old Man go crazy with you!"
When Lu Ping saw Tiankang Laozu's wizened and old face, he sighed in dissatisfaction.
Tiankang Laozu was originally the youngest disciple among the first generation of disciples that Zhenling had reached the Dharma stage. His talent in training was not below that of Tian Xiang Laozu. Originally, Zhenling had high hopes for him, but after being schemed against by Xuan Ling Sect, his foundation was damaged, and he could only use longevity pills to prolong his life.
Fortunately, Tiankang Laozu took the opportunity to break through to the mid Dharma stage, which prolonged his lifespan by 200 years. Now, he only had 70 to 80 years left. Although Tiankang Laozu's words were passionate, Lu Ping could hear the love and concern in them. Obviously, Tiankang Laozu was willing to risk his life to protect Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was touched, but he maintained a smile on his face and said, "You worry too much, Uncle-Master. Uncle-Master also knows that I have obtained many good things during my travels, including the Wonder Dew of Ten Thousand and the formula for the 30-year longevity pill. I have previously used the Wonder Dew of Ten Thousand to refine a 15-year longevity pill. This time, with the breakthrough in my training, I am confident that I can also refine a 20-year longevity pill. If I continue to practice my alchemy skills, when I can refine a 30-year longevity pill, I can consume three longevity pills. Even if I can't extend my lifespan by 90 years, I can at least extend it by 60 to 70 years."
Seeing that Tiankang Laozu was only calmly listening to Lu Ping with a smile, Lu Ping continued, "If you have this 130-140 years buffer, Uncle-Master might be able to break through to the late Dharma stage. If you can really overcome the second Thunder Trial and become the second Grand Practitioner of our sect, not only will there be hope for our sect to become a large sect, but you will also be able to extend your lifespan by another 200 years."
After listening to Lu Ping, Tiankang Laozu laughed loudly and said, "You are an interesting kid, but these are all your own assumptions. The Old Man knows his own body very well. In these hundreds of years since he entered the mid Dharma stage, the Old Man's training has not improved at all. This is a state where his body has aged to its limit. No matter how many longevity pills he has, he will only be able to prolong his life, let alone become a Grand Practitioner."
Lu Ping could not help but feel anxious and said, "No matter what, we have to give it a try. Moreover, I have …"
Tiankang Laozu waved his hand, intending to interrupt Lu Ping's words, and said, "There is no need to try. Even if the power of your Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash is ten times stronger, it will not be able to help the Old Man overcome the Thunder Trial. Let me put it this way, with the current state of the Old Man, I am afraid that he will not even be able to summon the Thunder Trial, so how will he overcome it?"
Lu Ping originally wanted to say something, but he heard Tiankang Laozu say, "The demons and the Canghai Sect have already begun to move. We should follow them as well. We cannot fall behind. After all, this treasure was created by Canghai Laozu alone. Even if there are good things in it, there cannot be too much. When the time comes, it will inevitably be a chaotic battle."
Lu Ping said strangely, "Although this treasure has been unearthed, the formation prohibition is intact. How will the cultivators of the various sects break it? Are they going to break it by force?"
Tiankang Laozu said with a smile, "Isn't it a forced breakthrough? This kind of large protective formation supported by the spiritual vein is different from those prohibition formations. Even the effect of the Restriction Breaking Talisman on it is limited. The demon race has prepared for many years. Maybe there is a way. The Canghai Sect also has a Thin Water Sword. Although it is not the complete Thin Water Sword that can be used as the key, it should be quite effective in breaking the formation."
Tiankang Laozu saw Lu Ping's thoughtful expression and thought that he was worried that his sect's progress would fall behind the other sects, so he said with a smile, "Our sect may not be slower than the others. Look at this!"
An exquisite axe the size of a palm flashed in Tiankang Laozu's palm.
It was the Second Disaster Spiritual Treasure Mountain Splitting Axe from the Ying Tian Dojo!
Lu Ping suddenly laughed and said, "Martial Uncle, maybe our progress can go ahead of the Canghai Sect!"
After saying that, under the surprised gaze of Tiankang Laozu, the light of the Long Flowing Sword also flashed in Lu Ping's hand.
