Lu Ping thought about it and finally decided to ask the sect for help.
The five elements of the high-grade earth-tier spirit items he had were mostly gathered, but Lu Ping wanted to keep the Magnetic Absorbing Stone for Dabao. In Lu Ping's opinion, with Dabao's current condition, it was almost impossible for him to condense the Magnetic Absorbing Stone when he advanced to the late stage of Core Forging. However, if Lu Ping used it, Dabao would definitely start to slack off in his cultivation the next day. It was better to give him some pressure, at least to be more diligent in his cultivation.
There was also a metal-attribute high-grade earth-tier spirit item, but Lu Ping also wanted to keep it for Lu Xiaohai. This Hanging Eyes White Forehead Tiger's aptitude was not a problem, and its cultivation was also considered to be progressing. Originally, Lu Ping wanted it to be on par with Samling, but now it seemed that Lu Xiaohai's aptitude was still inferior to Samling's. It would be somewhat difficult for him to aim for a low-grade heaven-tier spirit like Samling, but Lu Ping still left him a low-grade heaven-tier metal-attribute spirit item, the Sky Gold Stone.
Although Lu Ping had the Spirit Forging Pellets, he didn't want them to use them during the second spirit item forging. That would only increase their strength, but it wouldn't strengthen their foundations. It wouldn't be of much help to their future cultivation.
Just in case, Lu Ping decided to temporarily keep the high-grade earth-tier spirit item.
In this way, he would have to ask the sect for help with the two missing spirit items.
Lu Ping sealed a water-elemental high-grade earth-grade spirit and a wind-elemental high-grade earth-elemental high-grade spirit in an interspatial pouch. Then, he used his voice transmission sword to say something. Only then did he stretch out his hand and opened a hole in the space in front of him. He tossed the two items into it, and all that was left was to wait.
In addition to these two spirit items, Lu Ping was actually missing a high-grade earth-tier spirit fire, but most spirit fires were suitable for alchemy or forging. Therefore, spirit fires were generally more precious than other spirit items of the same grade.
Even though some Spiritual Fire s were not suitable for refining pills, nor were they suitable for forging weapons, the value of these Spiritual Fire s was relatively low. However, these Spiritual Fire s were rare compared to other Spiritual Fire s, so even though their value was lower, they were not often encountered.
As far as Lu Ping knew, Yao Yong had successfully advanced to the late stage of Core Forging by refining such a spirit fire. Lu Ping did not know if he still had such a spirit fire on him or if there were any clues about it.
Lu Ping stayed in the cave for a few days. With the help of his teacher, he had already exchanged a high-grade earth-tier metal-attribute spirit item and an earth-attribute spirit item from the sect. However, Lu Ping had missed Yao Yong. He had already followed Tiankang Laozu to the East China Sea to participate in the Fantasy Spirit City's auction.
Lu Ping originally wanted to refine the White Jade Lotus or White Jade Lotus Seed into an elixir that could strengthen the physical body. However, he could not calm his heart no matter what, so he simply began to count the low-grade heaven-tier spirit items he had on him.
There were two metal-type Sky Gold Stones, two wood-type feys, one Clear Wind Bamboo, and the other Dream Flower Wood. There were also two water-type feys, one Sky True Water, and the other Yuxiu Fragrance Liquid. There was also the earth-type Strange Astral Earth, and the wind-type Whirlwind Cotton. There was also a water-type Deep Sea Essence Oil that he had obtained from the dead Patriarch Kun Yu.
In addition to the Heavenly Gold Stone and Dreamy Flower Wood, which were left for Lu Xiaohai and Lu Taohua, even if the rest of the spirit items were used to cultivate the Samling Five Elements Leaf, he would be missing a low-grade heaven-tier spirit fire.
This made Lu Ping even more frustrated. He already had a lot of spirit items on him, but if he could not even gather all of the high-grade earth-tier and low-grade heaven-tier spirit items, what would he do with the more precious mid-grade and high-grade heaven-tier spirit items?
Lu Ping could not help but feel a little depressed. He wanted to give up on his plan to fully cultivate the Samling Five Elements Leaf, but when he thought of the late Core Forging Wood Phoenix Golden Elixir and the one and only seed of the Samling Five Elements Leaf, Lu Ping was once again in a state of hesitation and conflict.
In the past, Taoist Gui had said that a mature Samling Five Elements Leaf could be refined into an elixir that late Dharma adepts could take, but he had also vowed that the elixir refined from this item could heal Jiao Daoren's injuries.
How could a late Dharma adept compare to Jiao Daoren? How could an elixir that could heal Jiao Daoren's injuries be so simple as a late Dharma adept's elixir?
Lu Ping's intuition told him that there must be some secret behind this, and when Taoist Gui had preached to the world, there was no need for him to deceive the world's practitioners. There must be something hidden in this that Taoist Gui could not reveal.
In the end, Lu Ping sighed and decided to continue cultivating the Samling Five Elements Leaf. If it could not be cultivated to maturity within 150 years, then he might as well use it to heal Tiancheng Laozu's injuries first.
As for the rest, he would think about it later. Although the Wood Phoenix Golden Elixir could not be retrieved, temporarily sealing it together with the Samling Five Elements Leaf in a seal could temporarily delay the growth of the Samling Five Elements Leaf.
After leaving the cave, Lu Ping had originally planned to go out and relax, but he received news from the Palace of Zhonghua that Zhenling Tiankang, Tianping Laozu, and their disciples were rushing to the East Sea to participate in the auction in Phantom City.
Lu Ping did not say anything and returned to the cave. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the cave, Liu Tianling Laozu's decree arrived again.
After reading the contents, Lu Ping could not help but raise his eyebrows. He stretched out his hand and condensed a cloud of water vapor in the air into a stream of clear water and poured it over his head. His whole body suddenly became transparent, and with the help of his identity card, he once again snuck out of Zhenling without any hindrance.
Nowadays, the cultivation world of the North Sea was already the world of the third generation disciples. The various sects in the North Sea were competing for various interests. The driving force behind the scenes might be the first and second generation Laozu of the various sects, but the real battlefield was the third generation disciples.
This was especially true for the three sects, Zhen Ling, Xuan Ling, and Cang Hai. Most of the third generation disciples had begun to take charge of their own affairs. For example, Zhong Jian and Ma Yu, one of the two famous couples in Zhenling, had now become the island masters of Floating Island, one of the 36 medium-sized islands in Zhenling.
Although Zhong Jian and Ma Yu were currently only at the seventh stage of Core Forging, there was still some time before they could break through to the eighth stage. Therefore, they were not among the cultivators who went to the East Sea to participate in the leadership change auction.
However, this did not mean that the couple were easy to deal with. At the very least, when the two of them had just advanced to the late stage of Core Forging, they had joined forces to fight against a ninth stage Core Forging second-generation cultivator from the Flying Feather Sect and were not at a disadvantage. They were also well-known figures among the third generation disciples of Zhenling. Otherwise, they would not have been able to take charge of an area on Floating Island.
Floating Island was located thousands of miles west of Tian Ling Mountain. It could be said to be the westernmost medium-sized island in Zhenling. Three days ago, the island was very lively because the island master of Floating Island, Ma Yu, had given birth to a baby. It was the 100th day of the birth, and all the third and fourth generation disciples of Zhenling who were on good terms with Ma Yu had rushed to Floating Island to congratulate him.
According to many well-informed people, the people who came to congratulate him on that day could be said to be a gathering of distinguished guests. Not only did Liu Tianling, Laozu, send a talisman to congratulate him, but other second-generation cultivators also sent their disciples to send congratulatory gifts. Three of Zhenling's "Twin Swords and Twin Tigers" came, and the "Three Righteous and Three Strange" also included Li Xuanru, Liu Xuanyuan, and Chen Xuanlian. Among them, Li Xuanru came on behalf of Liu Tianling, Laozu. This was an eye-opener for the third and fourth generation disciples of Zhenling.
The only pity was that the Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping, Laozu, who was on good terms with Ma Yu, had suffered some injuries during his battle with Zhang Xiyi and was currently in seclusion. Thus, he couldn't make the trip. However, his dao companion, formation master Spiritual Master Mysterious Fox, two direct disciples of Hearing Wave Mansion, Wang Xuanqi, and Du Xuanluo, who had advanced to the Core Forging stage, came on behalf of their masters to congratulate Ma Yu.
Not long after Lu Tianping secretly arrived on Floating Island, Island Master Zhong Jian, who was stationed on Floating Island, gathered all the Core Forging cultivators on the island. Although the entire island looked the same on the outside, the inside was tense. All the Core Forging cultivators began to rest and build up their strength.
A month later, all the forces of the North Sea gathered on Frost Island and began to discuss the redistribution of the spirit mines on Frost Island.
The situation of the entire North Sea immediately changed. Before the battle on Frost Island, Zhenling had already spread rumors about the spirit stone vein on Frost Island. It was said that Zhenling intended to redistribute the spirit stones among the forces of the North Sea. This matter had once spread like wildfire throughout the entire North Sea, but in the end, it was temporarily pushed back because of the battle on Frost Island.
However, this time, all the sects of the North Sea suddenly gathered in the North Sea to discuss this matter. However, the truly surprising thing was that the leaders of this gathering of all the forces of the North Sea were not Zhenling or Xuan Ling Sect. Instead, it was the Blue Sea Sect, Ling Gu Sect, Golden Sword Sect, Four Seas Sect, and the newly rising branch of the Lu Family of the Central Plains and the Liao Family of the North Sea that had a thousand years of history.
It was only at this time that all the forces of the North Sea suddenly realized. Previously, because of the Phantom City Auction, all the sects of the North Sea had sent their disciples to participate in the North Sea with Dharma Laozu.
The other sects followed the usual pattern and only sent a normal early Dharma adept to lead the group. Only Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect sent a mid Dharma adept, Laozu. In fact, Zhenling sent two mid Dharma adepts, plus Lu Tianping Laozu, whose combat ability was not inferior to any mid Dharma adept. It was obvious that the two sects would have a fierce battle over the distribution of the spirit stone vein after the Phantom City Auction. In fact, Zhenling's appetite might be even bigger.
And this was undoubtedly the time when the power of Zhenling in the North Sea was at its weakest. The Blue Sea Sect had suddenly started the discussion over the distribution of the spirit stone vein on Frost Island. Naturally, they wanted to catch these two sects off guard and obtain the greatest benefits.
Three days later, the leader of Zhenling, Laozu Liu Tianling, personally led Tianfan, Tianxue, and Tianshan, a total of four Dharma adepts to Frost Island. Tianling Mountain was only left with Tianxiang, Tianlu, Tianjiang, and Tianshu Laozu to oversee it. The entire affairs of Zhenling were temporarily handled by Tianshu Laozu.
