After everyone outside the cave mansion left, Lu Ping walked towards the forest behind the mountain. He spread out his divine sense and scanned his surroundings vigilantly. Suddenly, Lu Ping clapped his hands and the ground that was covered with rotten leaves suddenly rolled up. A big fat mouse with a pile of rotten leaves on its head looked around. When it saw Lu Ping, it jumped up and shook off the dirt on its body before climbing onto Lu Ping's shoulder.
When Lu Ping saw everyone attacking the cave mansion's protective array, he suddenly had an idea. He wanted to let Dabao try to enter the cave mansion from underground. So, when everyone was attacking the protective array, he placed Dabao on the ground while no one was paying attention. Dabao's cultivation had improved, and his ability to dig holes had also improved. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the ground.
Initially, Lu Ping only had a slim chance, but he didn't expect Dabao to find a flaw in the cave-dwelling's protective array formation. Perhaps, this was the reason why the cave-dwelling was unearthed this time. In short, Dabao entered the cave-dwelling before the protective array formation was broken.
Lu Ping followed Dabao to the place where he hid his treasures. Dabao first dug out three bottles of medicinal pills from the ground. Lu Ping picked them up and saw that they were the Hundred Spirit Pills used by late Blood Condensation cultivators. This kind of medicinal pill was one of the best medicinal pills for the Blood Condensation Realm. It was similar to the Blood Vigor Pill for the Blood Refining Realm.
When Dabao saw that Lu Ping was happy, he also became excited. He dug out two more jade bottles from the ground. Lu Ping's eyes lit up. These medicinal bottles were actually made from Jade Crystals. One should know that Jade Crystals were a mid-grade spiritual material. Could it be …
Lu Ping opened the jade bottle and saw ten golden medicinal pellets inside. However, there was no medicinal smell coming from the jade bottle. These were the only Core Forging Realm medicinal pellets recorded in the [Sheng Tao Alchemy Scripture], the Golden Marrow Pellets!
Lu Ping opened the second bottle. There were ten gray medicinal pills inside. There was no luster on the surface. They didn't look like Core Forging Realm medicinal pills at all. However, Lu Ping knew that these medicinal pills were better than the Golden Marrow Pills. It was just that Lu Ping's knowledge was shallow and he didn't know the name of this pill.
Dabao must have taken out the most important thing in the cave mansion other than the furnace. Lu Ping was about to praise Dabao when he saw Dabao burrowing into the ground again. Lu Ping's face lit up. Could there be more treasures?
As the ground shook, Dabao used its sharp nose to roll a round bead out of the ground.
Lu Ping played with the bead in his hand. There seemed to be a warm cloud in the middle of the bead. Lu Ping carefully tried to recall where he had heard about this bead. Suddenly, his face stiffened.
"Is this a Spirit Gathering Bead?!"
According to the legend, Spirit Gathering Bead was a strange object that was condensed in a spirit vein. It was a kind of spiritual source that was nurtured by a spirit vein for a long time. It was a way for a spirit vein to strengthen itself. Normally, this kind of Spirit Gathering Bead could only be condensed in a small spirit vein. Moreover, it would take at least a thousand years for it to condense.
Lu Ping looked at the cloud in the Spirit Gathering Bead in his hand. This should be a kind of Spirit Gathering Bead produced by a small spirit vein. It seemed that there used to be a branch of a small spirit vein in the cave mansion.
Usually, when there were ten kinds of spirit veins, the spirit vein could be upgraded by one level. In other words, ten small spirit veins could form a small spirit vein. Similarly, ten small spirit veins could form a medium spirit vein.
If he placed this Spirit Gathering Pearl in his cave abode, he would be able to add another miniature spirit vein to his cave abode in a few years.
Seeing Dabao jumping up and down, Lu Ping knew that it was showing off. So, he patted its head and took out a Blood Purification Pill from his storage bag and threw it to it. Then, Dabao happily explored the way for Lu Ping.
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed. Lu Ping had explored most of the places Enlightened Master Jiang Xuanlin pointed out and gained a lot of information. However, there were a few places that had already been explored, so Lu Ping didn't find anything useful. Obviously, there were many cultivators who had received guidance from the sect's seniors and were familiar with Fei Ling Mountain's many hidden places.
In the past three days, Lu Ping had collected a total of 150 500-year-old spirit herbs and four 1000-year-old spirit herbs, which made Lu Ping very satisfied. At the same time, Lu Ping also collected six 1000-year-old spirit herbs that were far from mature and planned to transplant them into the spirit herb garden in his cave mansion.
In Lu Ping's own spirit herb garden, there were only three 1000-year-old spirit herbs that were not mature and Golden Marrow Grass that had not matured yet. He needed to prepare for his future.
Along the way, Lu Ping also found traces of other cultivators. Obviously, not all cultivators had gone to Spiritual Medicine Mountain. However, the cultivators were very restrained. Unless there was a direct conflict of interest, they would often avoid each other in advance. No one was affected by each other.
Lu Ping had just come down from Flying Cloud Mountain where the Talisman Crafting Pavilion was located. He had made some gains in a secret place. Now, he wanted to go to a mine on Feiling Island to take a look. This mine produced a spiritual material called Heavenly Gold Sand, which was an important mineral for forging metal attribute high-grade magic tools. From his conversation with Chen Lian, Lu Ping learned that Heavenly Gold Sand could even be used to forge top-grade magic tools.
Lu Ping was going to dig some and bring it back for Chen Lian to see as a gift for him. Lu Ping knew that a refiner's hobby of collecting minerals was similar to a pill refiner's fondness for spirit herbs. The more, the better.
The Heavenly Gold Sand mine was not on the Five Peaks of Feiling Island. Instead, it was in a rocky hill on the west side of Feiling Island. After cultivators entered Feiling Island, they all set their sights on the Five Peaks of Feiling Island, where spirit veins converged. They did not pay attention to the other places on the island, except for people like Lu Ping who had some understanding of the secret places of Feiling Island.
Along the way, Lu Ping saw many places where spirit energy gathered and spirit grains grew. However, spirit grains were clearly not of interest to Lu Ping. Naturally, Lu Ping would not spend a large amount of time collecting spirit grains.
Someone had already arrived at the Heavenly Gold Sand mine. Lu Ping found a warning restriction left by a cultivator at the entrance of the mine. If it wasn't for Lu Ping's powerful spiritual sense, he might not have discovered it immediately.
Lu Ping originally wanted to leave, but he thought about how difficult it was to come here. It had been seven days since he entered Feiling Island, and he did not know if he would have the opportunity to return. Thus, he raised his voice and said, "Which sect is this fellow daoist from? Zhenling Lu Ziping has come to visit. I want to dig some Heavenly Gold Sand ores. To avoid any misunderstandings, I specially came to inform you."
After Lu Ping finished speaking, a cultivator who was about the same age as Lu Ping walked out. When he saw that it was only Lu Ping, he thought for a moment and said, "I am Ai Shutao from the Ai Clan of West-Hill Island. This mine is very big, and I can't occupy it all by myself. Fellow daoist can find a place to dig for the ores."
Lu Ping entered the mine. As Ai Shutao had said, there were many mining veins. This was a medium-sized Heavenly Gold Sand mine!
Lu Ping chose a mine that had been excavated from a branch vein and let Dabao out. Unfortunately, Dabao was only sensitive to spiritual qi fluctuations. It was difficult for him to distinguish between rich and poor veins in the mine.
Without any other choice, Lu Ping could only personally go into the mine. He used an illumination technique in the dark mine and chose a direction. He used a giant axe magic artefact that he had obtained from an unknown cultivator and randomly smashed the mine. Then, he picked out the ores that contained golden ores. After an entire day, he had only picked over a thousand ores. He didn't know how much Heavenly Gold Sand he had obtained.
Fortunately, Lu Ping didn't plan on digging too much. Just as Lu Ping was about to leave, an arrogant laugh came from the entrance of the mine. "Brat, you dare to dig here alone? It's fortunate that you were able to find this place. If you know what's good for you, hand over all the Heavenly Gold Sand ores and we might let you live."
Lu Ping's footsteps paused. He heard Ai Shutao's voice coming from the entrance of the mine. "If you two want the Heavenly Gold Sand ores, there are many in the mine. If you want what I have, then we can only fight to the death."
Another voice rang out, "Hehe, what a big tone. Us two brothers want to see if your net will break after the fish dies. You are the only one from the Ai Clan to enter Fei Ling Island this time, right? I heard that you are the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Ai Clan. I wonder if the Ai Clan will go for wool and come home shorn if you die here today. "
Ai Shutao snorted angrily and said, "This time, the opening of Fei Ling Island will open. Out of the 30 sects and clans in the North Sea, only the top 10 sects and clans have occupied 75% of the quota. Your Gilded Sword Sect only sent two people to enter Fei Ling Island this time. Are you sure that you two can defeat me? If I leave Fei Ling Island, it's hard to say who will die. "
The arrogant voice shouted, "Your Ai Clan only has one Fa Xiang, Laozu. My Gilded Sword Sect has two Laozu. Why would we be afraid of your Ai Clan? Cut the crap. Give me your life! "
When Lu Ping came out of the mine, the battle between the two sides had become white-hot. Ai Shutao was fighting one against two. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was not afraid at all. A set of Mother-Child Daggers was flying in the sky, blocking the attacks of the two flying swords of the Gilded Sword Sect and protecting himself.
The sudden appearance of Lu Ping surprised the two people of the Gilded Sword Sect. They didn't expect that there would be another person in the mine and that he was a disciple of Zhenling, a tycoon of the North Sea. The arrogant cultivator wanted to say something, but Lu Ping didn't give him a chance. The two Goose Feather Daggers danced in the air and slashed at the cultivator.
When Ai Shutao saw that Lu Ping was helping him, he became spirited. The nine flying daggers shuttled back and forth in the air and attacked the other cultivator. Instantly, he gained the upper hand.
The two people of the Gilded Sword Sect didn't expect that the situation would be reversed. Under Lu Ping's continuous attacks, the arrogant cultivator exerted all his strength, but his defense was still broken by Lu Ping. He felt a numbness in his chest because a three-inch flying needle had pierced the space of his heart core.
After succeeding, Lu Ping took the storage bag of the arrogant cultivator and checked it. There were 100 500-year-old Spiritual Herbs and 2,000 Spirit Stones in it. Obviously, the wealth of the arrogant cultivator was much lower than that of the disciples of the big sects.
When the other cultivator in the air saw that Lu Ping killed his Senior Fellow Apprentice easily, he panicked and messed up his moves. Ai Shutao was not weak. He seized the opportunity and stabbed three flying daggers into the body of the cultivator of the Gilded Sword Sect.
