Enlightened Master Xuan Wei was an out-and-out b * tch, or perhaps it could be said that he was an anomaly among the third generation disciples of Zhenling!
The barren north sea had similarly restricted the development of a Mine Seeking Master like Enlightened Master Xuan Wei. Even though Enlightened Master Xuan Wei had some innate talent as a Mine Seeking Master and had some achievements according to the bits and pieces of information regarding Mine Seeking Masters that were passed down in Zhenling, he proclaimed himself as the number one Mine Seeking Master in Zhenling.
Saying that he was the number one wasn't the slightest bit of exaggeration because he was the only one among the tens of thousands of cultivators in Zhenling who had a special liking for Mine Seeking Masters.
Regardless of whether it was because of this title of 'number one' or because Zhenling didn't have the helplessness of other Mine Seeking Masters, Enlightened Master Xuan Wei's reputation had spread far and wide. He was really sought after by many people and became a delicious cake in the eyes of many cultivators who went out to explore the sea.
However, this Daoist Profound Wei's understanding of Mine Seeking Masters was just a smattering of knowledge. Most of the time, he was just an armchair strategist in front of cultivators who knew nothing about Mine Seeking Masters. He was blowing his trumpet and making the others prostrate themselves before him.
However, good times didn't last long. Following the invitation of many cultivators who went out to explore, Enlightened Master Xuan Wei made use of this failure to find Mine Seeking Masters to inevitably have doubts towards his title as a Mine Seeking Master.
However, Enlightened Master Xuan Wei naturally couldn't lose his prestige. He immediately retorted that it wasn't because he couldn't find Mine Seeking Master, but it was because the place that he was invited to didn't have any Mine Seeking Master at all. Since no one had found a Mine Seeking Master, there was naturally no evidence to prove that Enlightened Master Xuan Wei was a fake so everyone could only drop the matter.
After that, Enlightened Master Xuan Wei relied on his half-baked Mine Seeking Method to point at a few Earth Veins by chance. Moreover, he really found a Mine Seeking Master from there. Even though the quality of these Mine Seeking Masters wasn't considered good and the reserves weren't high, it was enough for Enlightened Master Xuan Wei to become complacent and insufferably arrogant. There weren't many cultivators of the same level that could enter his eyes.
After all, Daoist Profound Wei's ability was too extreme, and when it came to searching for ore veins, everyone had no choice but to look for this one and only Ore Seeker.
But what was even more excessive was that along with the few successes in mine exploration, this Mine Seeker's greed grew bigger and bigger. Previously, when he looked for him to explore a mine, he merely asked for some spirit stones as payment. But now, it had already multiplied by countless times. Moreover, once a mine was found, this Daoist Profound Wei would no longer ask for spirit stones, but a fixed share of the mine. This caused many cultivators to be extremely furious, yet they could do nothing about it.
Not to mention that, it just so happened that this Daoist Master Profound Micro was a cowardly person, and it was unavoidable for him to encounter various dangers when he went out to search for ore veins with other cultivators. However, every time danger arrived, this Daoist Master Profound Micro would hide at the side and not lend the slightest assistance. Conversely, every time something went wrong, he would be the first to flee.
In the end, even though this Daoist Master Profound Micro obtained the nickname of a coward, his ability to flee was honed to the point of being extremely skilled.
Later on, it was Yao Yong and Xuan Ling who returned from the heartlands, and they truly couldn't bear to see this Daoist Master Profound Micro's arrogant expression all day long. Moreover, the two of them had been in the heartlands for a long time, and they'd witnessed the methods of those true Mine Seekers in the heartlands, and it was completely different from this Daoist Master Profound Micro.
The two of them discussed it in private, so they set up a trap to invite Daoist Master Profound Micro to explore. The two of them first found a few locations that had confirmed the location of the mine veins, and then they pretended to invite Daoist Master Profound Micro to explore. Every time Daoist Master Profound Micro said that there were no mines here because he couldn't find anything, the cultivators would immediately pretend that they'd 'accidentally' found the mine veins.
This happened a few times consecutively, and Daoist Master Profound Micro finally realized that he was fooled by others, but it was already too late. The entire Zhenling already knew that this Daoist Master Profound Micro was a swindler, and many cultivators who once invited him to explore the veins claimed that they'd teach him a lesson. All of a sudden, Daoist Master Profound Micro became the target of scorn, and his days these few years were really miserable.
These things naturally couldn't be hidden from the few Laozu of his sect. Even though this Daoist Master Profound Micro's character wasn't good, and his ability to search for mines was also sloppy, but he had a unique skill, and that was to clearly judge the reserves of spirit ores in the known mine veins and the underground direction of the mine veins.
Perhaps it was because of this Daoist Master Profound Micro's greed, every time a spirit vein was discovered, the reserves after excavation and the underground direction of the mine veins were almost the same as Daoist Master Profound Micro's previous judgment. This was also what made everyone in Zhenling click their tongues in wonder. Even though this Daoist Master Profound Micro's reputation was unbearable, it wasn't that he didn't have any real ability.
What really made Daoist Master Profound Micro's reputation in this area was when the spirit stone vein was discovered on Frost Island. At that time, because the island was covered by a thousand years of cold ice, even though they found the source of the spirit stone vein, they were still unable to determine the reserves of the spirit stone vein.
At that time, Daoist Master Profound Micro had already started to consider himself as a mine seeker. Under the situation where there were no tigers in the mountain, Daoist Master Profound Micro was really forced to do something beyond his capabilities.
However, soon after, Daoist Master Profound Micro's people thought that the spirit stone vein on Frost Island was very likely a large quality mine. In the end, when the news spread, it caused Zhenling to gain the upper hand in the distribution of the spirit stone vein on Frost Island. It also caused Lu Ping and the others to wantonly occupy territories on the island at the expense of clashing with the cultivators of other sects. In the end, even a middle sized spirit stone vein was discovered and occupied by Lu Ping.
Daoist Master Profound Micro became famous because of this. After that, no matter what kind of mine vein he found, Daoist Master Profound Micro would be able to accurately estimate the amount of cultivation resources stored in the mine vein. He could also accurately judge the direction of the mine vein according to the source of the mine vein.
Even though Daoist Master Profound Micro's tricks as a mine seeker had been exposed and his days in Zhenling were extremely difficult, no one could deny Daoist Master Profound Micro's ability. Even though everyone in Zhenling was extremely disgusted with his character, every time they found a mine vein, they had no choice but to find him to evaluate it.
This was also why even though Liu Tianling knew Enlightened Master Xuan Wei didn't have a good reputation, he still had no choice but to hand over the inheritance to Enlightened Master Xuan Wei after learning that Lu Ping had obtained the Crystal Palace's Mine Finder inheritance.
When Lu Ping saw this guy come here to ask for the inheritance of a mine seeker, the first thing that came to his mind was that with this guy's courage, if he knew that the inheritance in his hands was from the hands of the Crystal Palace's mine seeker, would he be so scared that he would wet his pants!
However, this was his teacher's order, and Lu Ping couldn't disobey it. Thus, he could only throw a few jade slips to Daoist Master Profound Micro and leave quickly. Out of sight, out of mind. His teacher must know this guy's personality, so he would definitely be on guard.
After Lu Ping left Tianling Mountain, he returned to Huang Li Island to wait for news of Wang Qi and the others entering the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. Also, after Lu Xuheng Laozu's death, Xuan Ling Sect tried its best to suppress the news. So far, it had not caused a huge uproar in the North Sea's cultivation world.
There were undoubtedly two things that attracted the most attention in the North Sea's cultivation world. One was the opening of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. Although the opening of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven was only a stage for the Blood Condensation disciples of the various sects, several extremely rare treasures would appear in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. This time, a large number of forces outside the North Sea would undoubtedly participate in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of many cultivators in the North Sea.
The second thing was undoubtedly the Spirit Pill Exchange held on the island where the North Sea's alchemy family, the Liao Family, was located.
The head of the Liao Family, Liao Runjia, had successfully condensed his Dharma Power last year. After the death of the North Sea's Qiao Family's Laozu, the Liao Family became the twelfth small force in the North Sea to have the Dharma Power Laozu.
According to the North Sea's tradition, every time a cultivator broke through to the Dharma Manifestation Stage, the force that the cultivator belonged to would hold a grand celebration to show off their strength and build connections.
Especially in terms of building connections, the thousand-year-old alchemy family, the Liao Family, undoubtedly had the advantage, especially after Liao Runjia broke through to the Dharma Manifestation Stage. This advantage was even more obvious, and it had the potential to replace the declining North Sea's Qiao Family.
The Liao Family simply turned Liao Runjia and Laozu's Dharma Manifestation Conference into a Spirit Pill Exchange. Not only would this increase the Liao Family's influence, but it would also allow the Liao Family to obtain a lot of benefits. Just by looking at the various spirit pills the Liao Family disciples were selling, one could see how much effort the Liao Family had put into this.
Of course, the Liao Family's Spirit Pill Exchange wasn't something that just anyone could enter. Not only did foreign cultivators need to have an invitation from the Liao Family, but in order to better win over the various forces of the North Sea, every invitation they sent out was documented. Even the Liao Family disciples knew what kind of spirit pills they traded with the Liao Family disciples.
Similarly, even if the Liao Family disciples wanted to enter the Spirit Pill Exchange, they would need to use their family's identity token and receive special permission from the Liao Family elders to enter. Only then would they be able to sell their own pills to the cultivators of the various sects.
At this time, a Liao Family disciple was taking out various spirit pills from a bag and selling them to the cultivators of the various sects.
At this time, a cultivator from the Blue Sea Sect walked by. The Liao Family disciple's eyes lit up. He recognized this cultivator. He was a disciple of Wang Xiqing Laozu, who had been sent by the Blue Sea Sect to participate in the Dharma Manifestation Conference. This person was standing beside Wang Xiqing Laozu. There were only two Dharma Manifestations cultivators among the various sects participating in the Dharma Manifestation Conference. One was Laozu from a small sect in the North Sea that was on good terms with the Liao Family, and the other was Wang Xiqing Laozu from the Blue Sea Sect.
As the only two Dharma Manifestations cultivators from other sects participating in the Dharma Manifestation Conference, the Liao Family was naturally very honored. As a disciple of Wang Xiqing Laozu, he naturally received extra care from the Liao Family.
"Senior Xu Xiu, Senior Xu Xiu, I am Liao Shengchun, a disciple of the Liao Family. This is the Seven Vitality Pill that I have refined. Do you like it?"
When the Blue Sea Sect disciple, Xu Xiu, heard that the name of the pill that the Liao Family disciple had refined actually had the word "Xiu" in it, he immediately stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and looked at the Liao Family disciple. He said, "I don't think this pill is very good. Do you have anything else?"
The Liao Family Elders had long ordered that they must take special care of the Blue Sea Sect cultivators. Liao Shengchun naturally remembered this. Hearing this, he hurriedly carried his bag to a place where there was no one around and opened it up. He said, "All the pills that I have refined are here. Senior, please take a look. If there is anything that you like, please let me know. The Elders have ordered that we must satisfy the Blue Sea Sect Elders!"
"You're quite interesting, Junior. Others use their Storage Celestial Devices to store these bottles and jars, but you use such a big package. Do you think you're setting up a stall in the market?"
Many cultivators in the distance heard this and looked over. When they saw the bottles and jars that Liao Shengchun placed on the ground, they revealed a trace of disdain. It seemed that this Liao Shengchun was a failure in the Liao Family. A dignified Blood Condensation Realm alchemist didn't even have a storage bag.
Liao Shengchun's face turned red and he embarrassedly laughed.
This Xu Xiu was just casually talking. Out of politeness, he flipped through the bag and looked at the bag a few more times. He said, "Although the rank of the pills is a bit low, the quality is not bad. It seems that you are very talented in alchemy. How about this, how many spirit stones do you have? I want all of them!"
"Really?"
Liao Shengchun was overjoyed. He quickly took out the jade bottles and wanted to give them to Xu Xiu. However, there were too many jade bottles in the bag. He couldn't take them all in a short time.
Xu Xiu looked around and realized that no one was paying attention to them. Thus, he said impatiently, "Alright, alright. Just wrap these up as before. Don't tell me you can't bear to part with this lousy bag of yours?"
"I'm willing to part with them!"
Liao Shengchun hurriedly wrapped these bottles and cans in a package and handed it to Xu Xiu. However, after Xu Xiu took the package, he put it into the storage artifact he carried on his body, threw a bag of spirit stones to him, and then turned and hurried away.
Liao Shengchun looked at Xu Xiu's back as he walked away. Then, he let out a sigh of relief as if he had completed a mission. He pulled out a piece of cloth from his clothes, and a parcel that was exactly the same as the one from before appeared in his hand. Then, he grabbed the parcel and leisurely returned to the crowd of the Trading Meet. Then, he walked out of the venue.
A Liao Family cultivator saw the empty bag in Liao Shengchun's hand and smiled. "Hey, Brother Shengchun, you're in luck. You sold all the pills?"
Liao Shengchun immediately smiled and said, "Oh, it's Brother Shenghai. My luck is good today. A Senior has taken a fancy to all the pills!"
Then, Liao Shengchun shook the bag in his hand proudly.
Three days later, Cang Hai Sect and Xuan Ling Sect suddenly fought in the northwest sea. The Cang Hai Sect cultivators who were secretly heading to the northwest sea to excavate the spiritual material vein were ambushed by Xuan Ling Sect cultivators who were lying in ambush nearby.
By the time Laozu and Laozu of the two sects realized something was wrong and showed up, the Cang Hai Sect cultivators had suffered heavy casualties while Xuan Ling Sect cultivators had also suffered heavy losses.
Enlightened Master Xu Xiu, who led the Cang Hai Sect cultivators to excavate the spiritual material vein, died on the spot. After an urgent discussion between the two sides, Wang Xiqing, Laozu, and Feng Xutao of Xuan Ling Sect came to Liao Family Island angrily.
When the three sides confronted each other, the wrapping became the key. However, that Liao Clan's Little Cultivator, Liao Shengchun, admitted to selling the medicinal pill to Xu Xiu, but denied selling the medicinal pill along with the wrapping to Xu Xiu.
Xu Xiu was dead, so there was no evidence. Many Liao Family disciples and cultivators who participated in the Elixir Gathering saw the empty bag that Liao Shengchun shook out. The situation was not in Cang Hai Sect's favor.
By now, Lv Xuheng's death was known to the world. Especially after learning that the Crystal Palace was also involved, Wang Xiqing was even more terrified.
In a fit of rage, Wang Xiqing took the risk and suddenly grabbed Liao Family's Minor Repairs, slapped him on the head, and was about to use the Soul Searching Technique.
The entire Liao Family was furious, but they saw that Liao Shengchun couldn't resist the pain of Soul Searching, and suddenly died while foaming at the mouth. However, Wang Xiqing didn't pay attention to why Liao Shengchun was so weak, because from this short period of Soul Searching, he obtained a piece of news that made him very happy!
