Lu Ping looked at the huge ruins in front of him. This was the ruins of Fei Ling Sect's Refining Hall. The broken walls above the ruins seemed to be telling the story of Fei Ling Sect's prosperity in the past.
Lu Ping spent the whole day searching the Cang Mountain. Although he had some harvest, it was a pity that it was not as good as the harvest in the Spiritual Herbal Garden. Therefore, he decided to come to the ruins of the Refining Hall to take a look.
Lu Ping walked in the middle of the ruins, hoping to find something. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. He wanted to pay homage to these magnificent ruins. After all, it was such an important place. Every cultivator who entered Fei Ling Island would come to explore it, so he was afraid that he would not find anything.
Dabao, on the other hand, was running around like a meatball, kicking up layers of dust. His originally earthen yellow fur was now the color of the earth. From time to time, Dabao would find one or two magic tool fragments from the ruins and give them to Lu Ping. After receiving Lu Ping's praise, he was very excited.
Just as Lu Ping walked to the middle of the ruins, something in Lu Ping's storage bag suddenly trembled. Lu Ping's heart moved. He looked around and saw only desolation. Only then did he take out a huge jade box.
Lu Ping opened the jade box. Inside, a blue flame was swaying. It was Lu Ping's trump card — the Azure Spirit Fire.
Lu Ping had already refined this spirit fire. However, because he cultivated a pure water attribute cultivation method, he did not keep it in his body. Instead, he carried it in a spiritual storage box.
At this moment, the Azure Spirit Fire slightly trembled. Lu Ping's mind was connected to it. He knew that this was a reaction between the same kind of spirit fire. Suddenly, his spirit was shaken. Could it be that there was a hidden secret room here with a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire? After all, this was Fei Ling Sect's Refining Hall. It was normal to have a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
Following the Blue Spirit Fire's senses, Lu Ping came to the back of a palace in the ruins. This place looked like the back of the palace. Here, the Blue Spirit Fire's senses were even more intense. However, Lu Ping searched the entire back of the palace and found nothing.
Just as Lu Ping was pondering where this feeling came from, Dabao suddenly discovered something in the corner of the back room. Lu Ping hurriedly rushed over and saw Dabao walking around in the corner, using its claws to scratch the ground from time to time. However, this was the Refining Hall, and the stone slabs on the ground were all made of rough Green Steel Stone, so how could Dabao dig it?
Lu Ping looked carefully in the corner, but he still couldn't see anything. He used his Divine Sense to explore, and found that there was still a slight fluctuation of Spiritual Qi on the ground.
Lu Ping took out a flying sword and pried open the stone slabs in the corner. A small basement appeared in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping carefully walked down. The discovery in front of him immediately made him ecstatic. This basement was piled with a large amount of spirit materials.
Profound Iron, Fine Gold Stone, Fire Copper Ore, Green Crystal Stone, Thousand Year Peach Wood, Spotted Thunder Bamboo, Spirit Willow Branch, Water Spirit Bead, Wind Singing Stone, Cold Jade Stone, Thunder Rumbling Stone, and so on. The spirit materials used to refine mid and upper grade magic tools were neatly piled inside, almost taking up a third of the basement. However, although there were many types of spirit materials, they were lacking in quantity. There were only about one or two of each type. Even so, Lu Ping was very satisfied.
Among them, there were four kinds of spirit materials that were on the same level as Deep Sea Cold Iron. They were used to refine top grade magic tools. They were Deep Sea Cold Iron, Thousand Year Lightning Pine Spirit Wood, Thousand Year Water Spirit Jade Bead, and Square Spirit Stone. In addition, there were two kinds of spirit materials that Lu Ping didn't recognize. However, the powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations contained in them were above the four kinds of spirit materials used to refine top grade magic tools. Lu Ping knew that these two kinds of spirit materials weren't simple, so he put them together with the four kinds of spirit materials used to refine top grade magic tools in his personal storage bag.
As for the rest of the spirit materials, Lu Ping didn't stand on ceremony and put them all in his own storage bag.
Lu Ping originally thought that this was a warehouse for storing spirit materials. However, these spirit materials were simply piled up. They weren't stored in storage bags like Zhenling's Blood Condensation Bank.
Sure enough, after Lu Ping put away these spirit materials, there was only a furnace left in the middle of the basement. This should be a place that Fei Ling Sect cultivators used to practice refining tools. As for why it was so mysterious, Lu Ping didn't know.
At this time, the Azure Spirit Fire's reaction was getting stronger and stronger. Clearly, the thing that made the Azure Spirit Fire react was inside the furnace.
Lu Ping felt strange. Four thousand years had passed. Even if it was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, it should have lost the support of Spiritual Qi and been extinguished. Was there something strange?
Lu Ping carefully opened the furnace and saw a bean-sized fire candle emitting a faint light. It seemed as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Lu Ping hurriedly crushed the eight mid-grade spirit stones and the scattered spiritual energy flowed towards the fire candle. Only then did the fire candle flicker slightly, and the light it emitted brightened the cauldron by a few notches.
Lu Ping carefully took out the spirit-gathering plate from the cauldron. Only then did he realize that there was a collapsed spirit vein under the cauldron. It must have been destroyed during the battle on Fei Ling Island. Even so, the residual spiritual energy still preserved the fire seed until now.
Lu Ping placed sixteen mid-grade spirit stones in the Spiritual Gathering Plate. Only then did the fire candle in the middle sway, as if it had suddenly gained life. This fire candle's vitality was greatly damaged. It seemed that it would take at least one or two years of careful nurturing to recover.
Lu Ping could already confirm that this was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. However, Lu Ping did not know much about Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. When this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire recovered, he should be able to find out more about this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
The furnace used for smithing was actually a high-grade mystic instrument, which surprised Lu Ping a little. Although smithing furnaces weren't as precious as alchemy furnaces, they were still extremely valuable among mystic instruments of the same grade. He decided to give it to Chen Lian as a gift in the future. He believed it would be a pleasant surprise.
Lu Ping spread out his Divine Sense and once again explored the basement. However, he discovered that there were words on the walls of the basement. He quickly went over to take a look. There were only a few words, such as: "Cultivate in Tool Refining", "I will become stronger", "Surpass Jiao Yuqiang", "Make those who laugh at me shut up", and so on. This should be a place where a Tool Refining Cultivator of the Flying Feather Sect, who was not welcomed in the Tool Refining Hall, worked hard to become stronger. This also explained why the Tool Refining Room was placed in such a secret place.
On the other side of the wall, Lu Ping discovered a Tool Refining Diagram. It recorded a Secret Technique of Tool Refining. Lu Ping was not proficient in Tool Refining and did not know whether this Secret Technique called "Spirit Fire Smelting Purification Technique" was precious or not. However, he still used a jade slip to copy the diagram on the wall. After thinking about it, he used a flying sword to cut off the diagram on the wall. It was a Secret Technique. Since everyone knew about it, why would it still be called a Secret Technique?
Because of the discovery of the Secret Underground Room, Lu Ping spent another day carefully examining the ruins of the Tool Refining Hall. Dabao had also lost half a kilogram of meat due to Lu Ping's incitement. Unfortunately, this kind of harvest was not something that could be obtained frequently. In desperation, Lu Ping could only take the dozen or so broken magic tools and low-grade spiritual materials that he had harvested today and walk with Dabao to the Incense Furnace Mountain, where the Pill Refining Room was located.
It was not that Lu Ping did not know the path to the Spiritual Herbal Mountain, where the Spiritual Herbal Garden was located. Lu Ping knew that the Spiritual Herbal Garden was the goal of all the cultivators who entered Fei Ling Island. He was already two days behind, and by now, more than half of the Spiritual Herbal Mountain had already been harvested. He would be too late.
Moreover, the Incense Furnace Mountain was the closest to White Mountain, even closer than the central Fei Ling Mountain. Moreover, the Incense Furnace Mountain was the location of the Pill Refining Room. Apart from the Spiritual Herbal Mountain, it was the largest planting ground for spiritual herbs. Going there now was much more cost-effective than rushing to the Spiritual Herbal Mountain.
Lu Ping, who had just walked down White Mountain, suddenly stopped. His double-layered divine sense once again allowed Lu Ping to detect danger. About sixty meters in front of him, there was an array that had just been set up. The strange flow of spiritual energy caused by the array alerted Lu Ping. Someone was plotting against him.
Then, he heard a clapping sound. "Fellow Daoist Zhenling, you have a keen sense!"
The cultivator from the Hai Yan Sect that he met on White Mountain walked out. At the same time, three other cultivators came out. The four of them stood in four different directions, surrounding Lu Ping in the middle.
Lu Ping looked at the four cultivators around him. Two of them were from the Hai Yan Sect, while the other two were from the Shuiyan Pavilion. The Hai Yan Sect and the Shuiyan Pavilion were large sects in the North Sea Alliance. Now, it seemed that the two sects had a tacit understanding with each other. Just the fact that the disciples of the two sects were willing to work together to ambush him showed that the relationship between the two sects wasn't simple.
Lu Ping looked at the cultivator from the Hai Yan Sect and asked, "It's you?"
The cultivator from the Hai Yan Sect smiled evilly. "That's right. I know that Fellow Daoist isn't an ordinary cultivator. Your magic power is profound, and you have probably comprehended the realm of 'Force'. However, you are only at the Second Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. The four of us are the best among the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. With the four of us working together, I don't believe that we can't defeat you. It's just that you were able to detect the formation set up by Junior Sister Wang Huimin from the Shuiyan Pavilion, which surprised us quite a bit. I wonder if Fellow Daoist can explain it to us? "
Suddenly, Lu Ping leaped into the air. The Flying Swallow Sword danced like a sea swallow on the crest of a wave, leaving a trail of splashes in its wake as it pounced towards the Hai Yan cultivator. "You will know when you reach the ground."
The cultivator from the Hai Yan Sect was already prepared. He held a feather fan in his hand and waved it at the Flying Swallow Sword. A firebird instantly flew out and screeched as it pounced towards the Flying Swallow Sword. At the same time, he took out a small bell to protect himself. He shouted, "Junior Brothers and Sisters, this person has at least two hundred stalks of 500-year-old spirit herbs. Let's attack together and kill him."
The cultivator from the Hai Yan Sect shouted, and the other three immediately surrounded Lu Ping. In the sky, a flying sword, a red silk, a flying spear, and the flaming fan in the Hai Yan Sect cultivator's hand attacked Lu Ping at the same time.
Lu Ping raised the crystal mirror above his head. Immediately, the mirror split into two, two into four, four into eight, and more and more, until there were 128 six-sided crystals. They joined together to form a huge crystal ball that wrapped around Lu Ping and blocked the attacks of the four.
The four surrounded Lu Ping and attacked wildly. Lu Ping tried his best to block, but many of the attacks still hit the crystal ball.
