In a secret cabin of the treasured vessel, Lu Ping found Hu Lili who was re-inscribing talisman markings on the walls of the cabin with a few female disciples.
When they saw Lu Ping walk in, the female disciples found an excuse to run out while grinning, and only two people remained in the secret cabin.
Hu Lili smiled as she looked at Lu Ping, and then she turned around and continued inscribing brand new talisman markings on the cabin walls.
Lu Ping walked over and carefully looked at the talisman markings on the cabin walls, and then he said, "This is truly complicated. The entire treasured vessel, the hull, the secret cabins, the deck, and even the passageways have to be inscribed with these dense talisman markings, and there can't be the slightest mistake!"
Hu Lili said with a smile, "Of course. Moreover, it isn't so easy to inscribe these talisman markings. Not only does it require a considerable cultivation, one's comprehension towards formations must attain the level of a Formation Master."
Lu Ping asked, "When do you reckon it will take to complete the inscribing of these talisman markings?"
Hu Lili frowned and said, "I can't say for sure. The grand formation of this treasured vessel is an extremely enormous compound formation. Even though it can't compare to the grand scale of a Sect Guarding Grand Formation, it's much more complicated than a Sect Guarding Grand Formation. Some of these formations are defensive formations, some are offensive formations, some are solidifying one's body, some are gathering spirit energy, some are suppressing wind and waves, some are converging wind and waves, and so on and so forth. There are a total of over 10 types of formations of various sizes, and every single formation is different."
Lu Ping wasn't proficient in formations, and he said, "This is truly complicated!"
Hu Lili said with a smile, "That's not all.
This is just the general classification of the formations on the treasured vessel. There are many more detailed classifications. For example, among the defensive formations, there are formations to defend against external enemies, formations to protect the structure of the ship, and formations to protect the house from seawater erosion, and so on. These specific formations must all be combined in one place without the slightest conflict, and in the end, the various types of formations must be concentrated and connected to the formation. This way, the Formation Master on the treasured vessel can concentrate and adjust the different formations on the treasured vessel, so that he can adapt according to the situation. "
Lu Ping was speechless as he listened, but Hu Lili became more and more excited as she spoke. She continued, "Some of these formations on the treasured vessel are already known, but there are some that even the Master doesn't know about. Not only have I learned a lot from helping the Master restore the formations on the treasured vessel these past few years, but the Master often says that he has benefited a lot …"
Lu Ping didn't know much about array formations at all. As he listened to Hu Lili ramble on about the pros and cons of various array formations, even Lu Ping, who had the divine sense of a mid-stage Dharma adept, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on and his temples throbbing.
In the end, he simply stopped listening to Hu Lili and focused his attention on Hu Lili's face. He looked left and right, as if he was admiring a peerless treasure.
This was a good idea, as it easily resolved the details of the formations that Lu Ping found boring.
It didn't take Hu Lili long to notice Lu Ping's actions. Even though Hu Lili was usually a shrewish person, when Lu Ping looked at her like that, she gradually lost her composure. Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end, she threw away the pen knife that she was using to inscribe the formations and said with a red face, "What are you doing? What are you looking at!"
Lu Ping's evil plan had succeeded, and he said pretentiously, "Hmm, other than your eyes that are still bright, your face looks a little haggard. Did you not take the Divine Nourishing Pill that I prepared for you earlier?"
Hearing Lu Ping say that she looked pale, Hu Lili couldn't help but touch her own face and said, "I took it. Is it really that bad?"
Lu Ping nodded solemnly and said, "Although you still look radiant, compared to before, it's still a little lacking! If I'm not wrong, many of the Divine Nourishing Pills I left for you have been distributed by you, right? "
Hu Lili's thoughts were seen through by Lu Ping, and she couldn't help but explain. "Isn't it because the medicinal pills you refined are too few? The talisman markings on this treasured ship are truly too complicated? Moreover, even though we've been ceaselessly repairing these formations and restrictions on the treasured ship during these past few days, it's actually no different to a closed door cultivation. Everyone's comprehension in formations can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, so everyone naturally wasn't willing to waste time and poured all their energy into it. Even though it's very tiring, it's truly nothing compared to everyone's gains. For the sake of not affecting everyone's repair of the treasured ship due to the consumption of Divine Perception, these medicinal pills were naturally distributed!"
When Lu Ping heard what Hu Lili said, he knew that she probably hadn't rested for a single moment during these five years, and his fingers couldn't help but slide on Hu Lili's beautiful face as he couldn't help but feel extremely pitiful in his heart.
Hu Lili was greatly embarrassed and annoyed by Lu Ping's intimate actions, and she wanted to stretch out her hand to push his hand away, yet she couldn't bear to part with this moment of tenderness, so she could only blush as her eyes that were like autumn water slanted at Lu Ping while avoiding his gaze.
Lu Ping was greatly amused when he saw this, and he seized the opportunity when Hu Lili wasn't paying attention to lightly peck on her face before laughing mischievously as he dodged Hu Lili's slap.
"You're courting death!"
Hu Lili's slap was originally just for show, but a small part of her mind was actually focused on the secret cabin behind Lu Ping. Seeing that no one had seen it, she fiercely glared at Lu Ping before lowering her head with a blush and not saying anything.
Lu Ping looked at Hu Lili's exposed snow-white neck that was gradually dyed with a layer of captivating red, and then he took out two jade bottles with a grin as he said, "This time I've prepared a new elixir for you, and it's much better than the Profound Spirit Pill from before. Not only can it quickly recover the loss of Divine Sense, but it's also greatly beneficial for the recovery and growth of Divine Sense after it's damaged!"
Lu Ping's words had indeed distracted Hu Lili, freeing her from her previous embarrassment. She asked curiously, "Eh, what kind of elixir is this?"
Hu Lili saw that Lu Ping's teasing look was about to make a scene, and Lu Ping hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's true, it's true, this is a Divine Spirit Pill that I had painstakingly begged from Uncle-Master Tianqin. Although it's only a half step to the Dharma stage, it's recovery and nurturing of Divine Sense is many times better than the Profound Spirit Pill from before!"
Hu Lili snatched the jade bottle from Lu Ping's hand and gave Lu Ping a look that said, "At least you know what's good for you." Only then did she happily place the jade bottle into the crystal storage ring that Lu Ping had specially asked Chen Lian to make for him.
For the sake of this crystal ring on Hu Lili's hand, Lu Ping did not hesitate to use a Heaven level spirit item to exchange for a Spatial Crystal from Tian Xiang Laozu. He also made Chen Lian waste many spiritual materials to make this storage ring the color of a crystal.
Using Chen Lian's words at that time, it was, "You have nothing better to do. You wasted so many high-grade spiritual materials just to make this storage ring the color of a crystal?"
Lu Ping could not be bothered to explain to these people who did not know anything. He took this crystal storage ring that was made to look like the one in his memory and rushed back to Huang Li Island excitedly. He gave this ring to Hu Lili, and then solemnly put the ring on Hu Lili's finger, saying, "From today onwards, we are officially Path Companions!"
Hu Lili, who was originally very happy because of the beautiful storage ring that Lu Ping had given her, was immediately enraged when she heard Lu Ping's words. "What do you mean by officially? Did you not treat me as your Path Companion before?"
Lu Ping could only cover his head and flee like a rat.
Seeing that Hu Lili kept the jade bottle, Lu Ping took out another two jade bottles and said, "These two bottles contain Soul Accumulation Pills. If there are other Array Masters who ask for it in the future, you can just take it. That Soul Formation Pill is not easy to make, so you have to keep it for yourself!"
Hu Lili smiled tenderly and said, "I know, you stingy person. When did our Treasure Boy become so stingy?"
Although Hu Lili teased Lu Ping, her heart was as sweet as honey. Although Lu Ping's pills were divided according to the quality, he kept the good ones for himself and did not forget about others. This allowed Hu Lili to have more leeway among the other Array Masters.
After accompanying Hu Lili in the treasure ship for half a day, Lu Ping finally came out from the sea cliff at the back of Heaven Spirit Mountain.
Unexpectedly, just as Lu Ping came out of the forbidden area, before he could reminisce about the warmth he had with Hu Lili, a person who made his good mood go down the drain walked towards him.
"Junior Brother Lu, I heard Sect Head Martial Uncle's instructions. What good things do you have to give me?"
Enlightened Xuan Wei looked at Lu Ping with a face full of smiles, which made Lu Ping feel disgusted.
Lu Ping naturally didn't have anything to give him, but Lu Ping understood his Sect Head Master's intention. Helplessly, he took out a few jade slips from his storage artifact and threw them to him. "Take a look at the contents first."
Enlightened Xuan Wei didn't know what Lu Ping meant. He took the jade slips and looked at them one by one. However, every time he looked at one, Enlightened Xuan Wei's expression didn't get more and more excited, but it got worse and worse. When he finished looking at the last one, Enlightened Xuan Wei's face was almost like crying.
"It can't be. This is the Crystal Palace's secret ore-seeking secret technique. The Crystal Palace doesn't teach it to outsiders. How could it be in Junior Brother Lu's hands? It can't be you, you …"
Lu Ping's face darkened as he said, "You should know the relationship between this. If the slightest news is leaked, you should know the consequences!"
Enlightened Xuan Wei said timidly, "I don't want these things, okay?"
Lu Ping swung his hand and walked into the distance. "Don't want? It's too late! "
Enlightened Xuan Wei wanted to chase after him, but he realized that Lu Ping had already walked far away while he was still in a daze.
Enlightened Xuan Wei felt sorry for himself and could only put his attention back on the few jade slips in his hand. He changed his divine thoughts to look at the contents and said, "Well, both master and disciple plotted against me together. What is this? I killed a cultivator from the Crystal Palace. Moreover, it's a cultivator who possesses the inheritance of the Crystal Palace's ore-seeking secret technique. Will the Crystal Palace let it go? It's fine if the master and disciple bear the responsibility for this matter, but how can they drag me into this as well!"
