Just as Lu Ping was carefully inspecting his surroundings and slowly walking towards the Refining Hall, he suddenly heard the sound of something flying behind him. Lu Ping turned around and saw a cultivator flying in the air. When the cultivator saw Lu Ping walking slowly on the ground, he looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. In the blink of an eye, he overtook Lu Ping and flew towards the main peak of Cang Mountain.
Lu Ping shook his head. Looking at the cultivator's clothes, he should be from a sect that rose up in the last few hundred years. No wonder he didn't know that flying was forbidden on Fei Ling Island. When Fei Ling Island was first opened, almost 50 out of 200 Blood Condensation cultivators died to the forbidden array in the sky.
Sure enough, when the cultivator was just a mile away from Lu Ping, he heard a shrill scream. Lu Ping looked up and saw that the cultivator in the air had been split into seven or eight pieces and was falling to the ground.
Lu Ping continued to move forward calmly, using his divine sense to scan his surroundings. Finally, he arrived at the place where the cultivator died. He found that the space here was fluctuating violently. It was obviously a huge forbidden array that was directly connected to the sky above Fei Ling Island. Lu Ping couldn't help but feel sorry for the unlucky cultivator. He didn't even notice such an obvious array. Obviously, he didn't even have time to scan with his divine sense.
Lu Ping carefully looked around. After confirming that there was no danger, he put away the cultivator's interspatial pouch and opened it. Other than 3,000 spirit stones and a bottle of medicinal pellets, there were also two mid-grade mystic instruments, some freshly harvested 100-year spirit herbs scattered around the interspatial pouch, and two wooden boxes containing two 500-year spirit herbs.
Lu Ping thought to himself that this person was quite lucky to find two Blood Condensation spirit herbs in the outskirts. However, he was too careless and didn't know much about Fei Ling Island.
Lu Ping continued to walk towards the main peak of Cang Mountain. Along the way, a joyful expression appeared on his face. He shook the spirit beast storage bag and a spirit beast the size of a puppy and fat like a meatball appeared in front of Lu Ping.
Dabao's eyes were blurry as he looked around in confusion. Obviously, he had not yet recovered from the new environment.
Lu Ping checked with his divine sense and confirmed that Dabao had indeed reached the Fourth Layer of the Blood Refining Realm. This would be a great help to Lu Ping's trip to Fei Ling Island.
Lu Ping fed Dabao one of the Blood Purification Pills he had refined and told it to look around him, but not too far away. The Spirit-Seeking Mouse was only sensitive to areas where spiritual Qi gathered on the ground. Now that Dabao had reached the Fourth Layer of the Blood Refining Realm, he wondered if he would be able to display an even better detection ability.
Sure enough, Dabao followed Lu Ping's instructions and dug a half-foot-deep hole not far behind Lu Ping. Using its beak, it took out a mid-grade spirit stone. This made Lu Ping very happy. Dabao's detection ability had indeed improved. It could sense things buried in shallow areas.
When they reached the main peak of Cang Mountain, Dabao found a total of three mid-grade spirit stones and several low-grade spirit stones for Lu Ping. He also found a lot of broken magic tools and a five-hundred-year-old spirit herb hidden behind a boulder.
According to Enlightened Master Jiang Xuanlin's records, there were three small spirit herb gardens on the main peak of Cang Mountain. There were many spirit herbs used to concoct Blood Condensation Realm spirit herbs. Five hundred years had passed, so these spirit herbs should have matured.
Lu Ping first came to a spirit herb garden. These spirit herb gardens were usually protected by small array formations. Before Lu Ping could find the entrance, a flash of lightning appeared and blasted a large hole in the ground in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping looked up and saw that a Flying Feather Sect cultivator had already arrived at the spirit herb garden. This cultivator was holding a small round mirror that flashed with lightning. He said to Lu Ping, "This place has been claimed by me. Fellow Daoist, please leave."
Lu Ping was stunned, but he didn't want to argue with him. Finding spirit herbs was more important, so he walked towards another spirit herb garden.
When the Flying Feather Sect cultivator saw the direction Lu Ping came from, his expression changed. Clearly, he was very familiar with Fei Ling Sect's situation. When he used his divine sense to scan Lu Ping, he discovered that Lu Ping was only a Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. He couldn't help but smile sinisterly. He bent down to collect the spirit herbs in the spirit herb garden.
This time, Lu Ping's luck was pretty good. The second spirit herb garden wasn't taken by other cultivators. Lu Ping took out his Flying Swallow Sword and attacked the array formation outside the spirit herb garden. In an instant, the array formation outside was cut open for Lu Ping to enter and exit.
This spirit herb garden was less than half an acre in size. Other than a large number of century-old spirit herbs, there were about a hundred stalks of 500-year-old spirit herbs. Moreover, they were all matured. This made Lu Ping very happy. He opened the jade box he brought with him and carefully collected the spirit herbs, sorting them into different jade boxes.
After looting all the spirit herbs in the spirit herb garden, Lu Ping scattered the seeds of the matured spirit herbs in the garden according to his usual practice. This was for the next cultivator who came to Fei Ling Island to collect them when it opened.
He had to get to the last spirit herb garden as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough time. After Lu Ping hurriedly tidied up the spirit herb garden, he came out of the array formation that was about to recover. He felt a slight dark wind blowing towards him. If not for Lu Ping's double divine sense, he might not have noticed it.
A crystal mirror flew out from Lu Ping's body and grew to three feet in size. With a crisp "ding" sound, Lu Ping blocked the incoming object.
A three-inch needle-shaped magic artifact flew back and landed in the hands of a cultivator about twenty feet to the left of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping turned around and saw that it was the Flying Feather Sect cultivator that he saw in the first spirit herb garden. He had an invisibility talisman on his body. No wonder Lu Ping didn't notice him at first. Now that he was using the magic artifact, his magic energy fluctuated and revealed his figure.
The Flying Feather Sect cultivator clearly didn't expect Lu Ping to block his sneak attack unscathed. He was stunned for a moment and cursed in his heart. "Brat, you're quite lucky to be able to block this needle. But your luck ends here."
As he said that, he took out his small round mirror that could stimulate lightning. A bolt of lightning shot towards Lu Ping.
The lightning struck the crystal mirror, and Lu Ping felt a numbing sensation in his magic energy. Although it was faint, it was real. This made Lu Ping alert.
Not to mention that the other party's cultivation was higher than his, the Flying Feather Sect was also a large sect in the Northern Sea. The other party was able to stand out among the many Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivators in the sect, so he naturally had his merits.
Lu Ping took out his Flying Swallow Sword and said, "Are you going to kill me and rob me?"
The Flying Feather Sect cultivator chuckled and said, "That's right. I can also help our friend from Xuan Ling Sect to have one less competitor."
Lu Ping laughed and said, "You're quite direct!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he used the Stone Piercing Sword Art and slashed towards the other party.
The Flying Feather Sect cultivator didn't expect Lu Ping's counterattack to be so sharp. This wasn't the kind of magic energy a Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator should have. At the same time, he realized that Zhenling must have his own abilities to be able to become one of the twenty cultivators who entered Fei Ling Island with a Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivation. He didn't think that Lu Ping was someone who relied on the help of his sect's elders to make a fortune here.
After realizing this, the Flying Feather Sect cultivator hurriedly took out a mid-grade magic artifact to protect himself. At the same time, he released his needle-shaped magic artifact to surround Lu Ping, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, it was too late for the Flying Feather Sect cultivator. Lu Ping raised his right hand, and the Goose Feather Blades flew up again. His divine sense, which was twice as strong as that of a cultivator of the same realm as him, came into play at this moment. He activated the Raging Waves Crashing Shore Sword Art. The two sword arts worked together and instantly tore apart the Flying Feather Sect cultivator's protective magic artifact.
As the Flying Feather Sect cultivator cried out in alarm, several talismans flew out from his hands. Some transformed into wooden shields, some transformed into stone walls, and some transformed into offensive spells. All of them blocked Lu Ping's sword and blade waves. However, all of them were destroyed by Lu Ping without exception. The Flying Swallow Sword flashed and the Flying Feather Sect cultivator's heart was pierced. With a loud explosion, the Flying Feather Sect cultivator's body was reduced to ashes. This was the result of the collapse of his core space.
Lu Ping sighed inwardly. Most cultivators would activate the power of the Condensed Blood Bead in times of crisis. Some would even choose to self-destruct the Condensed Blood Bead or destroy their core space in order to gain a final chance to counterattack. Therefore, when cultivators died, they would rarely leave behind the Condensed Blood Bead.
The reason why Lu Ping obtained the Green Sea Snake and Qiao Xipeng's Condensed Blood Bead was because neither of them believed that they would die under the sword of a Blood Refining Realm cultivator. Naturally, they would not choose to perish together, which would only benefit Lu Ping in the end.
Lu Ping picked up the scattered artifacts and storage pouches of the Flying Feather Sect cultivator and turned to look not far away. He said, "You've been watching for so long. Could it be that you're planning to be the fisherman in the end?"
A cultivator wearing the uniform of the Sea Flame Sect walked out from behind a boulder on the west side of the spiritual herbal garden. He smiled awkwardly at Lu Ping and said, "I happened to pass by this place by accident. When I heard the sounds of battle, I rushed over to see if I could persuade the two sides to stop fighting and make peace. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to display your might. I didn't manage to stop you in time. I'm ashamed!"
Naturally, Lu Ping did not believe his nonsense. He said expressionlessly, "Oh, if that's the case, you're going to stand up for him?"
The Sea Flame Sect cultivator took a step back and said cautiously, "Fellow Daoist must be joking. Since there's nothing else for me to do here, I'll take my leave."
Without waiting for Lu Ping's response, the cultivator hurried back the way he came.
Lu Ping couldn't stop him in time. He could only let the cultivator leave. Then, he walked towards the third spiritual herbal garden.
On the way, Lu Ping looked through the loot of the Flying Feather Sect cultivator. There were more than 80 500-year-old spiritual herbs, more than 20 mid-grade spirit stones, and two bottles of Blood Condensation Realm cultivation pills in the 30 boxes. There was also the small round mirror that could shoot out lightning and the needle-shaped artifact that was used to attack Lu Ping.
Lu Ping also had a needle-shaped artifact before. After the blood sacrifice, he used it to kill a Xuan Ling Sect Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator during the battle on Xuan Qi Island. After that, that needle-shaped artifact was also destroyed. Now that it was a mid-grade artifact, its quality was obviously much better than the previous one.
The third spiritual herbal garden was already empty. The Sea Flame Sect cultivator must have gotten there first. This made Lu Ping very angry. Obviously, there were many cultivators who were familiar with Fei Ling Island. He had to speed up.
