After Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, he learned about the details from Hu Lili. His teacher, Liu Tianling, had already sent someone over to find out more about Lei Laoliu's background.
A cultivator who was at the peak of the Core Forging stage and could even fight against an early Dharma Demon King had suddenly appeared in front of everyone in Zhenling. Not only would the sect pay special attention to him, but even Jiang Tianlin Laozu had personally come to ask about Lei Laoliu's background.
Lu Ping had no choice but to tell Jiang Tianlin Laozu about the process of subduing Lei Laoliu.
After hearing that Lei Laoliu had actually been placed under the Soul-Controlling Restriction by Lu Ping, the way he looked at Lu Ping changed.
For someone like Lei Laoliu, not just in Zhenling, but even in the five holy lands of Middle Earth and the East Sea Crystal Sect, he was like a direct disciple. Even in the North Sea, perhaps only Ouyang Weijian could compare to him.
However, this person, who would be nurtured as a treasure in any sect, had been used by Lu Ping to guard his home with the Soul-Controlling Restriction. Not to mention Jiang Tianlin Laozu, even if Tianxiang Laozu was here, he would not feel the same way.
After sending off Jiang Tianlin Laozu, Lu Ping gave Hu Lili the four Spirit Gathering Pearls that he had obtained from the Vast Sea Relic, then went into the secret room.
After spending nearly a month, Lu Ping had finally refined the Thin Water Sword to the point where it was like the Flowing Water Sword.
Just as Lu Ping finished refining the Thin Water Sword, the Flowing Water Sword combined and swam around Lu Ping's body like a pair of fish. The cheerful sound of the sword echoed throughout the secret room. Lu Ping's Divine Will captured something as the flying swords circled around him.
As the two swords trembled, Lu Ping's Divine Will seemed to sense that something had broken. He hurriedly probed into the swords and found that a layer of previously undetectable restriction runes was undergoing a rapid transformation.
Lu Ping did not know the depth of it, but thinking back to when Dongyi Laozu had repeatedly asked for the Thin Water Sword, there must be some secret hidden within the flying swords.
At this moment, the transformation of the hidden restriction runes was completed. Lu Ping's inner Yuan and Divine Will instantly refined the newly formed restriction runes. Lu Ping's expression suddenly changed to one of joy!
What a brilliant restriction technique! It was actually able to hide a treasure restriction in such a mysterious and ingenious manner. When the two swords of the Thin Water Unending Flow Sword were separated, the treasure restriction that was connected to each other was hidden in the runes of the other treasure restriction. If one wasn't a Tool Refining Grand Master, it would be very difficult for them to detect the difference.
At this time, whether it was the Thin Water Sword or the Flowing Water Sword, on their own, they just looked like spirit nurturing magic treasures that had condensed eight restrictions.
Once the two swords combined and the hidden restriction runes were activated, the flying swords' ninth restriction runes would automatically form and become a top spirit nurturing magic treasure.
Lu Ping's Divine Will could clearly sense the extremely strong spirituality hidden within the two flying swords. This was the characteristic of a magic treasure that had reached the peak of the spirit nurturing level. It only needed to pass the lightning tribulation and condense pure Yang Qi to become a spirit treasure.
The Beautiful Autumn Water Sword in Lu Ping's hands could also be considered a rather good pair of flying swords. However, compared to the Thin Water Sword that belonged to Canghai Laozu, the gap was really not easy to make up for.
Lu Ping looked at the pair of flying swords with a joyful expression. With this pair of flying swords, Lu Ping's strength would be greatly improved.
However, this pair of flying swords would also cause a lot of trouble. At least, the Canghai Sect would look for any opportunity to take back this pair of swords that belonged to the founder of their sect, including killing Lu Ping!
However, after being warned by Celestial Phenomenon Laozu, the Canghai Sect would at least not make a move on him for a short period of time. However, Lu Ping did not dare to be careless. After killing Zhou Tong and snatching the Thin Water Sword, the hatred between Lu Ping and the Canghai Sect could no longer be resolved. The only thing that eased was the mutual scruples between the two sects. After all, the situation in the North Sea was becoming increasingly serious. If the two sects fought, regardless of victory or defeat, the strength of the Human Race would be weakened.
Lu Ping's heart moved and he took out the stone box that Dabao found in the depths of the Lonely Peak.
Lu Ping carefully injected qi into the stone box, and the mysterious runes on the surface of the stone box suddenly lit up.
At this time, the Thin Water Long Sword around Lu Ping also seemed to resonate with the stone box. The sword body tilted and the sword tip pointed towards the stone box.
Lu Ping thought to himself that this Thin Water Long Sword was not only the key to opening the Canghai Sect's treasure, but it was also the key to opening the mysterious stone box.
Lu Ping's heart moved, and two sword lights were fired from the pair of flying swords, directly shooting towards the surface of the stone box.
The scene of stone chips bursting out did not appear as he imagined. The flashing runes on the surface of the stone box suddenly lit up. When the two sword lights hit the stone box, they completely submerged into the runes.
Then the runes on the entire surface of the stone box began to flow. The speed of the flow was so fast that even Lu Ping's Spiritual Force could not capture it.
At this moment, he heard a "kacha" sound, and a fine crack appeared in the middle of the stone box. Lu Ping was overjoyed and slowly opened the stone box. A purple jade slip lay in the middle of the stone box.
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and held the jade slip in his hand. His Spiritual Force quickly entered it and began to read the contents. As he read it, a few days passed.
It was not that the contents were complicated, but that the jade slip recorded a set of supreme sword technique inheritance of Canghai Laozu. Lu Ping was momentarily fascinated by it and began to figure out and cultivate it on the spot. Therefore, it was delayed for a few days.
However, although this sword technique inheritance was precious, what Lu Ping valued more was what was recorded at the end of the jade slip.
After Lu Ping came out of seclusion, the first news he heard was that there were problems with the spirit veins drawn from the various sects of the North Sea and the Demon Race's Vast Sea heritage.
First, Zhenling, who was closer to Huan Yu Island, claimed that out of the five medium-sized spirit veins that Tian Kang Laozu had drawn from the lone peak, only three ended up in Zhenling's main spirit veins.
Back then, Tian Kang Laozu had forcefully snatched away five medium-sized spirit veins from the lone peak. At that time, he had offended many people. Therefore, after hearing this news, many people from the various sects of the North Sea and even the Demon Race clapped their hands and secretly mocked Zhenling for getting what he deserved.
However, not long after, news came from Feiyu and Linggu Sects that only half of the spirit veins they had drawn from the lone peak ended up in their sects.
At this time, the North Sea cultivators began to realize that there seemed to be a problem.
Sure enough, Yujian Sect and Chong Ming Sect both claimed that the spirit veins they had drawn were severely depleted. Out of the two medium-sized spirit veins, only one and a half were in their hands.
Even Xiang Lou Laozu, who had obtained the Vast Sea Bell and had been hiding until now, released the news that he had only obtained half a medium-sized spirit vein.
This time, other than Xuan Ling Sect, the other sects were no longer gloating.
Due to Feng Xutao's foolish actions, Xuan Ling Sect's losses in the Vast Sea heritage almost outweighed their gains. When the entire Xuan Ling Sect received the news of the severe depletion of the spirit veins, they naturally cheered loudly.
It was just that these cheers made people feel sour!
Lu Ping smiled. If the various sects knew that the strange depletion of the spirit veins was actually caused by Lu Ping, who knew how many sects would come knocking on his door.
However, nine medium-sized spirit veins were almost equivalent to the replenishment of a large spirit vein. To the entire Zhenling Sect, this was undoubtedly a great boost.
Soon after, Lu Ping received news from Hu Lili that Huan Yu Island had become a trial ground for the Blood Condensation disciples of the various sects.
Thinking of the broken formations, restrictions, and protective walls that covered the entire Huan Yu Island after the collapse of the lone peak, as well as the large amount of spirit herbs and materials that had yet to be collected, and even the treasures and instruments that were discarded on the island, Lu Ping thought to himself that no wonder. It must be the idea of the two great cultivators, Tian Xiang Laozu and Dao Sheng Laozu that day. Otherwise, the sects wouldn't be so cautious in following this rule.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have a few things that I need to do after I return to Huan Yu Island. However, I can't go now, so I'll send a few disciples over!"
Hu Lili said in surprise, "Didn't you just come out from there? Did you leave some treasures inside?"
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "You can say that. I didn't expect those things to be so important at that time. I hope it's not too late and that the trial disciples of the various sects haven't gotten to them before me."
Lu Ping summoned the Fang siblings and Ceng Wu. The three of them were already at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm and were only one step away from advancing to the Core Forging Realm.
He told the three what he wanted to find one by one, then sent them to Huan Yu Island to train on their own. At the same time, he told them not to reveal the purpose of this trip. If anyone asked, they should just say that they were going out to train.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping gave them a few single-colored and two-colored restriction breaking talismans and instructed them not to reveal these talismans in front of others. Then, he told them to find Dabao and get a few suitable instruments to protect themselves.
After sending the three of them off, Lu Ping thought for a moment and sent out a sound transmission sword. The next day, Du Jialuo arrived at Huang Li Island from Tianling Mountain.
Ever since Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, Du Jialuo had come to visit Lu Ping several times. However, he didn't run into him even once. What he didn't know was that Lu Ping had already seen him in the Bajing Tower.
"Disciple greets Uncle-Master!"
Although Du Jialuo was almost certain to become Lu Ping's disciple, Lu Ping had instructed him that he would only accept Du Jialuo as a disciple after he had advanced to the Core Forging stage. Furthermore, Du Jialuo was not allowed to reveal his relationship with Lu Ping. Thus, even though Du Jialuo was already at the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm and was about to advance to the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm, and his earth-based techniques were quite famous among the fourth generation disciples, he still didn't formally acknowledge a master. He only trained with Perfected Master Liu Xuanyuan.
Lu Ping passed a jade scroll to Du Jialuo. After thinking for a moment, he tossed a jade token to Du Jialuo and said, "Go to Huan Yu Island and find what's recorded on this jade token. After that, go to the Crafting Hall and look for Grandmaster Chen Lian. Give this jade token to him and he will know what to do."
Du Jialuo took the token and was about to leave when Lu Ping called him back and handed him an escape talisman weapon. "I've already filled this talisman weapon with inner Yuan. When you're in danger, just activate it and cultivators below the Dharma Manifestation stage won't be able to do anything to you. Use it well."
