"Origin Essence!"
Not only Linglong, but Ru Yu also came out of the Golden House and walked quickly behind Linglong towards the small pool.
Lu Ping suddenly thought of something. He strode forward and pushed the two Artifact Spirits to the side. Then, he took out a Jade Essence Bottle from his storage mystic instrument and carefully stored away the ball of origin essence wrapped in the spirit vein milk.
This was the Origin Essence that had no owner. It was much richer and purer than the Origin Essence that Ling Long had collected from the fallen Blood Shura. Its effects were more miraculous, and it could be preserved for a long period of time.
Lu Ping stuck three Spirit-sealing Talismans on the full bottle of Origin Essence. Then he turned to look at a very dissatisfied device spirit behind him. She pouted so much that she could hang an oil bottle on her mouth, and another device spirit with a face full of hidden bitterness.
The conditions for the Origin Essence without an owner were extremely harsh. The Origin Essence itself contained the essence of Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Vein and the spirituality of Heaven and Earth Treasures. Therefore, it was usually bred in high-grade Heaven and Earth Treasures. Moreover, the formation of these Heaven and Earth Treasures was directly related to the Spiritual Vein.
It could be said that the bigger the Spiritual Vein and the higher the grade of Heaven and Earth Treasures, the more likely it was to breed Origin Essence. It was even more precious than Heaven and Earth Treasures.
Not only could the Origin Essence be used to greatly enhance one's cultivation, but it could also be used to enhance the spirituality of the Thunder Retribution Spiritual Treasure. The level of spirituality of the device spirit directly affected the success or failure of the Thunder Retribution Spiritual Treasure. This was why Linglong and Ru Yu rushed forward at the same time when they saw the Origin Essence.
Although Ru Yu was not the device spirit of the treasure, she was the guardian device spirit of the treasure ship. The enhancement of her spirituality would also be of great benefit to her and her future master of the treasure ship.
However, the two had obviously underestimated Lu Ping's greed for the Origin Essence. How could Lu Ping let Linglong and Ru Yu obtain something that could directly enhance one's cultivation? He would not even have enough for himself.
However, when Lu Ping saw their expressions, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I'll give each of you a drop in the future!"
Ruyu smiled and thanked him. Although Linglong was somewhat reluctant, having a drop was better than not having a drop at all. However, she did not dare to act spoiled in front of Lu Ping, so she could only agree with a sullen face.
After dismissing the two artifact spirits, Lu Ping turned around and put away the spirit vein essence milk in the small pool. If it weren't for the dual nourishment of this large spirit vein and the heaven high-grade water-attribute fey, how could Lu Ping have obtained such a large portion of water-attribute Origin Essence that suited Lu Ping?
The Jade Shura had used a restriction to seal the source of the spirit vein. It must have been because she wanted this Origin Essence. If she used it herself, with her cultivation at the mid Dharma stage, the effect would not be too obvious. But if she gave it to one of her Shuras, she might be able to produce a Blood Mara immediately.
The Jade Shura had never used this Origin Essence, and that was what she had in mind. It was a shame that Lu Ping had benefited from it.
There were loud sounds of fighting coming from the cave. With Samling and Lu Qin-er's power, they would soon be able to clear out the remnants of Mara in the cave.
Lu Ping could even sense that there were already a few Mara that had snuck near the entrance of the cave. They wanted to push away the Landslide that Lu Ping had placed at the entrance of the cave and escape. Unfortunately, these Mara were all Shuras that were equivalent to Core Forging adepts, and yet they were unable to push away the Landslide at all. Instead, they revealed their location to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping told Linglong to take care of this large spirit vein, so that it wouldn't be affected by other veins or land veins in the future. At the same time, he brought out Dabao, who was hiding in the House of Gold and unwilling to come out.
Even with the protection of Lu Ping's inner Yuan, Dabao still choked on some water when he came out. He barely managed to put up a protective barrier, but it was only enough to ensure his breathing.
"Boss, why is it at the bottom of the sea again?"
"Nonsense. Most of the cultivation resources in the overseas cultivation world are at the bottom of the sea!"
Lu Ping stuffed the Water-Repelling Pearl into Dabao's mouth without any explanation. Then, he pushed him into the earth vein at the bottom of the sea. He then released the Waternether Sword and returned to the entrance of the cave to kill all the Mara that were still pushing away the Landslide with all their might.
After that, Lu Ping scanned the cave with his divine sense. When he discovered that there were no more traces of the powerful Mara in the cave, he opened the House of Gold again and released Wang Qi.
During the chaotic battle on Frost Island, Lu Ping had seen Mara destroy the Dao-soldier formation of Wang Qi's team. Wang Qi himself had been surrounded by several Shuras at the time. Although he knew that Wang Qi still had a life-saving method that Lu Ping had given him, he still took him into the House of Gold just in case.
At this time, the powerful Mara in the cave had been eliminated by the Samling. Even if there were some Great Shuras among the Mara that had escaped, they were only at the early or middle stage of the Core Forging Realm. With Wang Qi's current level of cultivation, he could easily deal with them. It was the perfect place to train his cultivation.
If this wasn't the lair of a Jade Shura, and if the Jade Shura hadn't broken through the encirclement of the sects in the North Sea and returned, this place would have been a secret cultivation ground with the support of such a large spirit vein.
Lu Ping stayed in the cave for half a day, but he didn't personally attack Mara in the cave. Instead, he looked around the cave, but he didn't find anything special.
But when Dabao came out of the spirit vein, he brought Lu Ping disappointing news. This large spirit vein that had been submerged in the sea for four thousand years had not produced a single Spirit Gathering Orb.
Linglong said, "Master, don't forget that this spirit vein is Mara's lair. Mara devours spirits, and they have the same talent as Dabao in finding spirits. Their talent might even be better than Dabao's. Otherwise, why would Mara's lair be found near spirit veins or spirit stone mines? The Spirit Pulse hasn't been wiped out by the Mara race, and that's because of the Jade Shura. But if you want them to keep the spirit orbs in the Spirit Pulse, it's going to be hard on them! "
Lu Ping thought Linglong's words made sense, so he waved his hand and took Dabao, who didn't want to stay in the sea any longer, into the Golden House.
At this time, Lu Ping felt something. When he looked down, he saw a jade charm on his waist shatter. Lu Ping's face changed, and he quickly called Samling, Lu Qin-er, Wang Qi, and Da Gui to the entrance of the cave.
Before San Ling and the others could ask for the reason, Lu Ping had already opened the door of the Golden House and stuffed them inside. He then waved his hand and put away the [Landslide] at the entrance of the Golden House. After that, he turned into a stream of water and used the [Water Escape Technique] to pass through the hole created by the treasure ship. However, he didn't go back the way he came from. Instead, he changed directions and traveled dozens of miles away.
At this time, a strong aura suddenly exploded from the hole where the treasure ship had sunk behind Lu Ping. It seemed to contain infinite anger, but the aura only flashed for a moment, as if it was afraid of something.
Lu Ping sighed in his heart. If he hadn't been careful and laid down dozens of warning charms along the way, the Jade Shura would've been able to detect or avoid most of them. But if one was triggered, Lu Ping would've had a chance to escape before it returned to its lair. Otherwise, he would've been caught by the Jade Shura instead. Lu Ping didn't have a choice.
Although the Jade Shura was afraid that the human and demon cultivators would discover its nest and wouldn't dare to hunt down the intruders, Lu Ping didn't dare to go back to the treasure ship to check out the Jade Shura.
After coming out of the sea, Lu Ping didn't dare to stop at all. The ship drew a thick bluish-purple line under his feet, and he flew back to Frost Island at almost full speed.
In the battle of Frost Island, Mara's army had failed because of the unexpected alliance between the humans and demons. But the humans and demons struck while the iron was hot and wanted to eliminate the root of the problem. Even if they couldn't eliminate Mara's disaster while it was still budding, they wanted to greatly weaken the disaster this time.
Therefore, after Mara's defeat, the human and demon cultivators, including the Dharma adepts, continued to chase and kill the fleeing Mara tribe.
After Lu Ping returned to Frost Island, there were a total of three Zhenling Dharma Laozu guarding Frost Island. Tian Shu Laozu was in charge of dispatching and guarding, while Tianlu Laozu had specially rushed to Frost Island from Tianling Mountain to treat Tian Cheng Laozu's injuries.
After Lu Ping returned to Frost Island, Tian Shu Laozu let out a sigh of relief. At this time, most of the Dharma adepts had already gone out to kill Mara's remnants. Frost Island could be considered to be empty now. Although there were three Dharma Laozu guarding Zhenling, Tian Cheng Laozu had not recovered from his injuries, and Tian Shu Laozu also knew that he was not strong enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't be guarding Frost Island. The others were all out to kill Mara's remnants. As for Tianlu Laozu, he was originally an alchemist. His advancement to the Dharma stage was a trick, so his strength was at most equal to Tian Shu Laozu's, or maybe even weaker.
After the battle on Frost Island, the relationship between Lu Ping and Tian Shu Laozu had somewhat eased. Lu Ping's strength was already obvious to all. With two spirit treasures in hand and four flying swords, he was someone that even Blood Shura dared to fight alone. With this kind of strength, even a mid Dharma adept like Lu Ping would not be able to do anything to him.
After seeing Tian Shu Laozu, Lu Ping had no time to care about the previous awkwardness between them. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Uncle-Master, is Uncle-Master Tian Xiang around?"
Tian Shu Laozu knew that Lu Ping's position in the sect was probably higher than his. For him to ask about Tian Xiang Laozu's whereabouts in such a hurry, there must be something extremely important. Thus, he did not ask Lu Ping for the reason and said, "Uncle-Master Tian Xiang, Dao Sheng Laozu, and the two great adepts of the Primordial Crocodile clan have joined forces to kill that Asura. Until now, there has been no news. However, Uncle-Master Tian Kang, Uncle-Master Tian Xue, and Master Tian Fan Laozu can be contacted."
As expected, Lu Ping nodded and said, "If the three Uncle-Masters have no urgent matters to attend to, please send a message to ask them to return!"
