Ji Xuanxuan walked out from the rubble and asked curiously, "How did you know I was here as well?"
Yin Xuanchu's voice sounded out from the shadows of a pile of rubble, "His Divine Sense is extremely tyrannical, and even my Concealment Secret Technique can't escape his detection. He had already sensed our location the moment he came ashore?"
Lu Ping looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Actually, before I came here, I had already guessed that Junior Brother Ji had probably already contacted Junior Brother Yin. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Junior Brother Yin to use the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain near the Deep Sea Demon Region. I think it's because Junior Brother Ji has mastered the Puppet Secret Technique!"
Ji Xuanxuan immediately said complacently, "I was just about to tell you about this. I didn't expect you to have already guessed it!"
Lu Ping said with a smile, "Don't forget that you still have my Azure Willow Tree with you. My Avatar still has to rely on you!"
When Ji Xuanxuan heard the Azure Willow Tree, a trace of reluctance actually appeared on his face as he said, "Speaking of that Azure Willow Tree, it's an eight thousand year old spirit tree. I wonder where you found such a rare treasure of the heavens and the earth!"
With that, Ji Xuanxuan handed over a foot-long puppet to Lu Ping. The puppet's appearance vaguely resembled Lu Ping's.
Lu Ping said exaggeratedly, "It can't be. Just the trunk of that Azure Willow Tree is ten feet long. You only made such a large puppet to be my Avatar. Isn't it too obvious that you're cutting corners?!"
Ji Xuanxuan immediately said angrily, "What do you know? If it wasn't for the fact that your Azure Willow Tree was old enough and heavy enough, I'm afraid it would be good enough to make a three-inch puppet for you. This was refined from the main trunk and most of the main roots of your Azure Willow Tree."
Lu Ping's Divine Sense had already sensed the extraordinary power contained within this foot-long puppet, so he said with a smile, "You only used the main trunk and the roots. Where did the other branches and leaves go?"
Ji Xuanxuan said righteously, "Although the Azure Willow Tree is rare, if I were to forcefully use its branches to refine this puppet, its quality would be lowered. Besides, in order to make this puppet and not let the eight thousand year old Azure Willow Tree be covered in dust, I didn't take a single step outside for an entire ten years. My cultivation has fallen so much, and my status in the sect is also declining. That's why I was able to get the title of 'Three Wonders'. How can I have the prestige of an 'immortal and a devil' like you? In order to express your gratitude and make up for the loss of my reputation over the past ten years, those branches can be my payment of!"
Lu Ping naturally did not intend to take back the remaining branches from Ji Xuanxuan. He was just joking with him earlier.
At this moment, Yin Xuanchu also sighed and said, "Let alone an 'immortal and a devil', even Zhang Xiyi has been beaten up like a dead dog by him. He's no longer the 'immortal' of Zhenling, but the 'immortal of the North Sea'!"
Lu Ping asked curiously, "How did you guys know about this?"
Yin Xuanchu said, "The sect and the Azure Sea Sect did not intentionally conceal such a huge matter. It has long been known to the entire world!"
Ji Xuanxuan still held a grudge and said, "Dammit, that's true. Back then, the three of us were originally the 'Three True Spirit Prodigies', but now I'm the worst off!"
Yin Xuanchu comforted him, "Now that you've mastered the External Avatar Technique, you're a grandmaster of the puppet lineage. If this news were to spread, wouldn't your status in the cultivation world be like the sun in the sky?"
Ji Xuanxuan said rather bleakly, "How can it be that easy? Do you think it's that easy to refine an External Avatar? Look at the willow puppet in his hand. It's an eight thousand year old spirit tree. How good is its quality? In the end, it's condensed to such a size. Even if it can grow along with his cultivation, it's already not bad if it can display half of its power. What's more, it can't even display his innate ability! "
Yin Xuanchu said, "Half of its power is already extremely high. With Senior Brother Lu's strength, how many early Dharma adepts can have half of his strength?"
Ji Xuanxuan nodded and said, "That's true. However, this is only him. If it were anyone else, where would they get an eight thousand year old spirit tree? It's already good enough to have a three thousand year old one, but how much of one's ability can they display? Moreover, not everyone is like this monster who possesses an explosive level of divine sense cultivation. Otherwise, even using this External Avatar would be difficult. Moreover, if the material isn't good, it's extremely easy for it to be damaged during the refining process. "
Ji Xuanxuan poured out his grievances and said, "Also, I used ten years to make this willow puppet. Even if the willow's quality is too good and I wasn't proficient enough before, I'll be able to make one in the next seven years at most!"
Yin Xuanchu said, "Oh, so this thing can't be popularized?"
Ji Xuanxuan spread out his palm and said, "The inheritance jade slip that Senior Brother Lu gave me is extremely miraculous. After refining the jade slip, the contents of this secret technique will be imprinted in my divine sense. Unless I'm willing to strip this part of the contents from my divine sense and pass it to someone else, I won't be able to pass it down verbally. However, if I strip the imprint from my divine sense, I won't remember anything!"
"Seven years for one, seventy years for ten. Even if I don't do anything for the rest of my life and spend every day making puppets, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make a hundred puppets in my lifetime, and this isn't even taking into account the failure rate!"
When Lu Ping heard the two of them getting further and further away from each other, he hurriedly said, "Alright, alright. The two of you probably didn't draw the attention of the various sects in the North Sea to the Deep Sea Demon Region just to call me out for a chat, right?"
Only then did Yin Xuanchu say seriously, "I discovered another secret teleportation array of the Overturned Seas Sect, and I'm preparing to leave the East Sea!"
Lu Ping said curiously, "I've been wondering how you came to the North Sea. You said it was by chance and a freak combination of factors, but I can't figure it out no matter what!"
As they spoke, the three of them had already turned into streaks of light and flew towards the southern part of the North Sea in the direction that Yin Xuanchu pointed.
Along the way, Yin Xuanchu told Lu Ping about the process of him entering the North Sea. After listening to Yin Xuanchu's narration, Lu Ping frowned and fell into deep thought.
Ji Xuanxuan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ping said, "So you're saying that you're aiming for the ice-attribute mid-grade Heaven-grade spirit item in the hands of that Crystal Palace cultivator?"
Ji Xuanxuan nodded and said, "Actually, I already have one Ice River Heart in my hands, but I think with my cultivation base, I can even fuse two of them. All these years, other than killing Xuan Ling Sect disciples in the North Sea, I spent the rest of my time polishing my cultivation base. I want to increase my accumulation. Otherwise, if I focus on cultivation, I'm almost at the peak of the Core Forging Realm by now!"
Ji Xuanxuan was indignant again and said, "I've just advanced to the Eighth Stage Core Forging Realm not long ago, and you're already preparing to fuse the third type of spirit item, and it's even two mid-grade Heaven-grade spirit items. With my current foundation, I can only fuse one mid-grade Heaven-grade spirit item in the future at most!"
At this moment, Lu Ping also suddenly said, "Why don't you try to fuse three parts of the Ice River Heart and break through to the Ninth Stage Golden Core?"
A trace of interest appeared on Yin Xuanchu's face, but he gave up in the end and said, "I'm afraid it'll be extremely difficult. With my cultivation base, I know that I have some confidence in fusing two mid-grade Heaven-grade spirit items, but if it's three parts, even if you have a spirit pill that can increase the chances of fusing with spirit items, I'm afraid it'll be beyond your ability!"
"What about the Spirit Forging Pill?"
Yin Xuanchu was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Ji Xuanxuan almost choked, and he hurriedly coughed twice and said, "You have it?"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "I have the pill recipe, you guys can collect the spirit herbs yourselves!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
The two of them said in unison.
Ever since Yin Xuanchu had used one of the Overturned Seas Faction's secret teleporter to return to the North Sea from the East Sea Faction, the Overturned Seas Faction had strengthened the protection of the secret teleporter. After Yin Xuanchu's secret investigation, he discovered that this teleporter was not only protected by a spell, but also had a late Core Forging adept overseeing it. There were also two mid Core Forging adepts and one early Core Forging adept assisting them.
With the help of the spell, these people could even endure the attacks of Dharma adepts until reinforcements arrived, or they could use the teleporter to return to the East Sea and cut off the teleporter.
"It took a lot of effort to find this secret teleporter. The reason why I called you over is because of this spell. As long as we can break this spell, the people inside will be at our mercy!"
Yin Xuanchu's cold voice was filled with murderous intent!
Lu Ping suddenly raised his hand to stop the two of them and said, "Wait, there's a Dharma adept inside!"
"What?"
Yin Xuanchu was stunned. "That's impossible. How could there be a Dharma adept inside? If there was a Dharma adept overseeing this spell, how confident would you be in breaking it?"
Lu Ping did not reply. His divine will carefully tried to penetrate the spell through the cracks in the spell, hoping to obtain some useful information.
After a while, Lu Ping let out a sigh of relief and said, "It shouldn't be a guard here. It's a Dharma adept passing by. I don't know if he's coming from the East Sea or leaving through the North Sea!"
"Then what should we do?"
Ji Xuanxuan rubbed his hair in distress and said, "Why don't we wait for the Dharma adept to leave before coming back?"
At this time, a few figures flashed past the spell. Yin Xuanchu's eyes narrowed and he said, "It's him. It's the Crystal Palace adept who has the Ice River Heart. This time, he must be leaving the North Sea. We can't let him escape!"
Lu Ping thought for a while and suddenly drew a line behind him. Three miles away, a space door opened and Lu Qin-er flew out from the House of Gold.
Chen Lian had already understood the structure of the House of Gold. All that was left was to "lure him out and kill him!"
When Lu Ping saw the few people flashing past in the spell, the Three Pure True Eyes in his eyes flashed. He already had a general understanding of their abilities.
When Yin Xuanchu saw Lu Ping release Lu Qin-er, he could roughly guess what Lu Ping was thinking. Hence, he said, "That's good too. I originally wanted to kill him for the Ice River Heart, but he unintentionally hid in Xuan Ling Sect and failed!"
Lu Ping thought for a while and opened the House of Gold again. He released Samling as well. Yin Xuanchu and Ji Xuanxuan's eyes widened instantly.
In the air above the Overturned Seas Sect's secret teleporter, Lu Qin-er let out a long cry. A flame shot out from her mouth towards the spell.
"Evil creature, you're asking for death!"
