The sound of the strong wind howled in his ears, but Spiritual Master Xuanwei himself did not feel the slightest feeling of the strong wind blowing against his face. He could only squeeze out a flattering smile mixed with infinite envy on his face.
In her true form, Lu Qin 'er stretched out her neck and let out a long cry. With a flap of her wings, she covered a distance of several thousand feet. She flapped her wings several times, and when she looked back, she was already five kilometers away.
Lu Ping and Enlightened Xuanwei sat cross-legged on the back of the Blue Phoenix. A layer of invisible air covered the two of them, so that no matter how fast the Blue Phoenix flew, it would not be affected by the strong wind.
Although the northwest sea was far, to the Blue Phoenix, it was only a day and a night's journey.
When they reached the area near the mixed mineral vein in the northwest sea, the two of them came down from the back of the Blue Phoenix.
Enlightened Master Xuan Wei was already prepared to fly away. But then, Lu Ping pointed at the sea surface and a ten feet long sea turtle slid into the sea through a space door. Although it was much weaker than the Blue Luan, it was still a Mid Core Forging Realm monster.
Lu Ping signaled for Enlightened Master Xuan Wei to get on Lu Dagui's back first. Enlightened Master Xuan Wei glanced at the huge monster in front of him, whose cultivation base was almost on par with his own. In the end, he got on the tortoiseshell with fear.
"Where should we go?"
When Enlightened Xuanwei heard Lu Ping's question, he quickly calmed himself down and looked at the surrounding sea. However, he saw the northwest direction and said, "Then let's go to the farthest place to have a look!"
With Lu Ping's help, it was naturally easy to avoid the disciples from the various sects who were patrolling near the mineral vein. Lu Ping's Divine Will was comparable to the most outstanding mid Dharma adept, and according to what Lu Ping knew, this mineral vein was only guarded by two early Dharma adepts from each of the forces in the north sea. These people naturally did not have an opponent comparable to Lu Ping's Divine Will.
Although Lu Dagui's speed in the sea could not be compared to Lu Qin-er's speed in the sky, as a natural demon in the water, his speed was not considered slow. In just an hour, the two of them had already reached the 500-mile area that Enlightened Xuanwei had previously estimated.
Enlightened Xuanwei had just raised his Shield of Vigor and was about to dive into the depths of the sea when he saw Lu Ping stretch out his hand to stop him. Then, a huge pearl was suspended above his head, and a cover was formed to separate the sea water. the two of them dived into the depths of the sea.
"This is the Water-Repelling Pearl?"
Enlightened Xuanwei's character was not good, but he still had some knowledge. Looking at the huge pearl, his face was full of envy and he said, "With this item in hand, the deep sea is like walking on flat ground!"
Lu Ping did not care about Enlightened Xuanwei's envious tone, but looked around the surrounding seabed and said, "Based on the situation in the north sea, normally, once a medium-sized mineral vein or above is discovered, it will definitely be carefully searched around the mineral vein to see if there are any other branches. The mixed mineral vein has already been mined for ten years, and the surrounding sea area has already been searched by many practitioners from various sects. If there are any branches, they would have been found long ago. How are you so sure that there are still branches in the nearby sea area?"
Enlightened Xuanwei was already looking left and right at the bottom of the sea, and he was using various techniques on different kinds of underwater terrain. From time to time, he would also use various sensing talismans along with the techniques into the sea mud a few feet deep.
Because he had to hang the Water-Repelling Pearl above his head, Lu Ping had no choice but to follow Enlightened Xuanwei everywhere. However, in Lu Ping's opinion, although Enlightened Xuanwei didn't have a single moment of leisure, the truth was that he was like a headless fly bumping around. In any case, Lu Ping himself couldn't see through it.
After a long while, Enlightened Xuanwei had already walked through this sea area for a distance of nearly ten thousand feet. Only then did he stop. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I've finally finished setting up this Pulse Detecting Array!"
Lu Ping was stunned and said, "You're setting up the array?"
Enlightened Xuanwei said in astonishment, "Yeah, the setting up of this Pulse Detecting Array is too complicated. The main thing isn't the materials used to set up the array, but the various techniques and secret techniques used to detect and locate the veins, and also the judgment of the direction of the earth veins in the mixed mineral vein …"
Lu Ping really didn't understand this, and even after listening for a long time, he still didn't fully understand. He said straightforwardly, "In other words, you've combined all kinds of methods and finally determined that there must be a branch vein in that medium-sized mixed mineral vein, but because of the special nature of this mineral vein, its branch vein continued to extend for five hundred miles before it condensed again?"
Enlightened Xuanwei looked at Lu Ping in a daze and said, "Yes, that's roughly what I mean!"
After saying that, Enlightened Xuanwei threw out more than ten upper-grade spirit stones and started to cast the seals to activate the array that was set up at the bottom of the sea.
Enlightened Xuanwei made dozens of seals with both hands, and then suddenly struck them out. A stream of true essence pushed the seawater aside and directly imprinted into the sea mud under his feet.
The more than ten upper-grade spirit stones that were previously set up around him suddenly lit up, and Lu Ping opened his eyes wide, waiting for the result of the exploration.
However, after the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, other than the dozens of upper grade spirit stones around Spiritual Master Xuanwei becoming bright, there was not the slightest movement in the surrounding dark seabed. It was as if the various seals and formations that Spiritual Master Xuanwei had cast into the seabed had disappeared.
As the spiritual light of the more than ten upper-grade spirit stones finally began to weaken, sweat gradually seeped out of Enlightened Xuanwei's forehead. It wasn't because of the loss of true essence, but it was obvious that he didn't have any harvest after such a long time.
Finally, the more than ten upper-grade spirit stones exhausted their spiritual power and turned into ashes. Enlightened Xuanwei dispelled the true essence around him.
"You didn't find anything?"
When Lu Ping saw Enlightened Xuanwei's dejected look, he thought about it and still comforted him, "Could it be that there's a mistake in setting up the array previously?"
Lu Ping really couldn't see the slightest pattern in Enlightened Xuanwei's previous busyness, so he couldn't help but ask.
Enlightened Xuanwei shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "No, this is my livelihood, how can I not be attentive? The vein detection array set up by a mine seeker is different from the array set up by a formation master. It can even be said that they're two completely different things. There's no branch vein here."
Lu Ping said with a smile, "That's nothing. Didn't you say that there might be branch veins in four directions? Now that we've only identified one of them, aren't there still three other places?"
Enlightened Xuanwei took a glance at Lu Ping and moved his lips, but he didn't say a word.
Enlightened Xuanwei confidently pulled Lu Ping out to look for the branch vein, but he didn't expect that the result would be a blow to his head. If Enlightened Xuanwei had 70% confidence in the existence of the branch vein earlier, then this unfavorable opening had directly dispelled 40% of his confidence.
To be honest, Lu Ping wasn't particularly optimistic about him, but since he was already here, there was no reason for him to retreat just because he failed in one direction. Seeing Enlightened Xuanwei's dejected look, Lu Ping could only pull him towards the northeast sea region, which was the second location that Enlightened Xuanwei had previously deduced. However, he secretly muttered in his heart, Originally, I was encouraged to come here by Enlightened Xuanwei, but now, it became me who encouraged him to persevere.
When they arrived at the northeast sea region that Enlightened Xuanwei had previously judged, both of them dived to the bottom of the sea again. Lu Ping pointed to the bottom of the sea and said, "There, don't be discouraged. Let's do it again, maybe we can find it this time!"
As soon as Lu Ping's voice fell, Enlightened Xuanwei stammered for a long time, then he said with a pout, "Junior Brother Lu, can you lend me a dozen top grade spirit stones first? Without spirit stones, I can't set up the formation!"
Lu Ping suddenly collapsed. This Enlightened Xuanwei was really a b * tch. He knew that he needed to explore four directions to look for the branch vein this time, but he only brought the top grade spirit stones to activate the Pulse Detection Formation once. It was obvious that he wanted to get something from Lu Ping.
It was fortunate that he wasn't able to detect the branch vein the first time, otherwise, he wouldn't know how justified he was when he asked for spirit stones from Lu Ping just now.
In fact, it was just like what Lu Ping had guessed. The reason why Enlightened Xuanwei chose the northwest direction from the beginning was that in his opinion, the northwest direction had the most hope of having the branch vein, but he never thought that the most promising place would be empty.
When Enlightened Xuanwei saw Lu Ping staring at him, he immediately felt terrified and quickly said, "Junior Brother Lu, you don't know that in the past five years, no one was willing to believe me. In these five years, I didn't have any harvest. These top grade spirit stones are the leftovers that I had saved up. In the past five years, in order to study this secret technique of mine detection, you see, my cultivation has almost not improved at all …"
"Alright, alright!"
Lu Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at this superb Senior Brother in front of him. However, what he said was somewhat reasonable. Although in the eyes of a rich person like Lu Ping, even a dozen top grade spirit stones was something that Lu Ping could take out with a bit of effort, but for a poor Core Forging Cultivator like Enlightened Xuanwei, a dozen top grade spirit stones were a considerable amount of wealth.
Lu Ping simply took out a hundred top grade spirit stones and gave it to him, "Is it enough?"
Enlightened Xuanwei was immediately overjoyed and said, "It's enough, it's enough. Even if I didn't find the vein this time, it's enough for me to use for a long time!"
But then, Enlightened Xuanwei felt a chill rising from beside him. Only then did his whole body shiver. He knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly said, "Junior Brother, don't misunderstand. This time, although it's because I really don't have enough spirit stones to cultivate, that's why I mustered up the courage to look for you. But my previous judgment is definitely not wrong. I've really been studying those ore prospecting inheritances seriously for the past five years!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Ping to urge him, he began to carry the Moonlight Pearl and began to set up a vein prospecting array around the seabed. This time, Lu Ping didn't bother to follow him. He just passed the Moonlight Pearl to him to use. Anyway, this sea that was hundreds of feet deep was really not worth mentioning to Lu Ping.
Rumble!
It was as if the whole seabed had an earthquake!
Lu Ping's spirit was lifted, and he saw Enlightened Xuanwei, who was not far away, suddenly kneeling on the ground.
Lu Ping didn't know what was going on, so he hurried over and saw this guy kneeling on the ground crying!
Seeing Lu Ping coming over, Enlightened Xuanwei sobbed, "Mas … Junior Brother, you've found it, you've found it. There's a branch vein here, and it's a small mineral vein, a small mineral vein! The few mineral veins that I've found by luck in my life were all extremely low quality micro mineral veins. This is the first time that I've found a small mineral vein! "
Lu Ping said angrily, "The mine prospecting master of the Crystal Palace even found a medium mixed mineral vein of such high quality. What's there to be excited about for you to find a small mineral vein? Let's leave this place quickly and go to the sea area. Although the movement here isn't big, we still have to prevent other cultivators from rushing over to check!"
Enlightened Xuanwei rolled and crawled behind Lu Ping. This time, Lu Ping didn't let Lu Dagui out. Instead, he performed the Water Escape Skill to hide the two of them and headed straight to the southeast direction. At the same time, a sound transmission sword suddenly rushed out from the sea surface and flashed all the way to the southeast direction where Zhenling was at.
Perhaps it was because Enlightened Xuanwei's mineral prospecting secret skill was really practiced to perfection, or perhaps it was because luck would always turn for the better. In the southeast sea area, along with the faint vibration of the seabed again, Enlightened Xuanwei actually found a branch vein for the second time. Although it was just a small mineral vein compared to the previous one, but thinking of the high quality spiritual materials in the mixed mineral vein, this small mineral vein could be said to be very valuable.
This time, there was no need for Lu Ping to urge him. Enlightened Xuanwei, who was glowing, felt that Lu Ping's speed was too slow.
"Junior Brother Lu, hurry up, go faster!"
Lu Ping, who was carrying Enlightened Xuanwei, performed the Water Escape Skill and headed to the southwest direction, wished that he could throw Enlightened Xuanwei to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
In the southwest sea area, Enlightened Xuanwei, who was already very familiar with setting up the Pulse Detecting Formation, completed the Pulse Detecting Formation for the fourth time in no time. After he finished setting up the dozens of top grade spirit stones given by Lu Ping, Enlightened Xuanwei made a series of hand signs and a gush of life vitality suddenly hit the seabed.
Seeing that the formation was about to be activated, a bluish-purple light flashed across the seabed. The life vitality that Enlightened Xuanwei used to activate the formation was immediately dispersed.
Enlightened Xuanwei looked at Lu Ping inexplicably and opened his mouth to ask, "Junior Brother Lu …"
Shh!
Lu Ping made a shushing gesture in front of his mouth and pointed to the sea surface.
Enlightened Xuanwei immediately understood. He stretched out his hand and took off the Water Moon Repelling Pearl from his head. After that, he performed a breath concealing technique. Even though it wasn't a brilliant spell, there was no need to worry that anyone would be able to discover it at the seabed which was almost ten thousand feet deep.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to pull behind him. A five-colored cloak was pulled over by Lu Ping from the empty space behind him. It was none other than the Cloud Glow Five Elemental Cloak.
Lu Ping threw the Cloud Glow Five Elemental Cloak to Enlightened Xuanwei. Immediately, it covered his entire body. It was to hide his tracks and protect him at the same time.
Meanwhile, Lu Ping himself suddenly disappeared from the seabed. When he reappeared, he was already at the seabed which was only a few feet above the sea surface. However, at this time, Lu Ping had already turned into flowing water and didn't have to worry about being discovered at all.
"Xiang Lou Laozu, our Blue Sea Sect is sincerely inviting you to join our sect. Don't be ungrateful. You have to know that the Blue Sea Bell in your hand was left behind by our sect leader, Laozu. Our Blue Sea Sect will get it back no matter what. If you still don't agree, we can only snatch it by force!"
Lu Ping recognized this voice. It seemed to be the mid Dharma adept of the Blue Sea Sect, Dong Kun Laozu. And at this time, even though Lu Ping didn't dare to release his Divine Will to investigate, when the few auras on the sea surface were as strong as the sun, it still clearly told Lu Ping that there were currently five Dharma adepts facing each other on the sea surface. Moreover, there was one person in the middle while the other four surrounded him in the middle.
Xiang Lou Laozu? Blue Sea Sect?
Finally, they were still facing each other. This was going to be a good show to watch!
