Ai Shutao flew down and thanked Lu Ping for his help. Lu Ping didn't seem to mind and said that it was nothing. At the same time, he bid farewell to Ai Shutao.
Ai Shutao said with some regret, "Lu Daoyou, why don't you just stay here and mine for the Heavenly Gold Sand? This island is in chaos, and your life is in danger at any time."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "In another six or seven days, the people on the island will attack Fei Ling Mountain. I need to go and meet up with my fellow brothers and sisters."
Ai Shutao suddenly understood and said, "Right, you are Zhenling's disciple, so naturally, you will have to participate in the battle of Fei Ling Mountain. I am alone, so I will hide here and mine. Hopefully, I will have a stable harvest."
Lu Ping bid farewell to Ai Shutao and headed towards Mount Guanyun, where the Scripture Pavilion was located.
Out of the five peaks of Fei Ling Mountain, Lu Ping had already seen three of them. In the past few days, he had also seen the scenery outside the peaks. The only places he hadn't been to were Mount Guanyun, where the Scripture Pavilion was located, and Mount Ling Yao, where the battle was currently going on.
However, there was something more important at the moment. Lu Ping's cultivation had reached the peak of the Second Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm, and he was on the verge of breaking through in the past two days. This was also the reason why Lu Ping didn't follow Wei Zi-Heng and the others back to Mount Ling Yao. Originally, Lu Ping planned to break through in the Heavenly Gold Sand mine, but he didn't expect that Ai Shutao had already arrived there and planned to stay until Fei Ling Island closed. Lu Ping had no choice but to look for another place to break through.
After searching the vicinity of Mount Guanyun, Lu Ping didn't find much. However, Lu Ping found some mid-grade spiritual materials. In the end, Lu Ping found a mine about 30 li away from Mount Guanyun. This was a small spirit mine that produced red granite, which was used to craft mid-grade fire-attribute magic tools.
Lu Ping sent Dabao out to guard the entrance of the mine and had the sea turtle, which had mostly recovered from its injuries, block the entrance of the mine. Then, he took out the spirit gathering praying mat from his storage bag and found a place where spiritual energy gathered. He used the Sacrificial Soul Technique to detonate it. Although this could increase the concentration of spiritual energy for a short period of time, the place would dissipate after it was used.
Lu Ping sat on the spirit gathering mat and swallowed one of the best Blood Condensation Realm pills he had so far. He held a mid-grade spirit stone in each hand and placed the Spirit Gathering Pearl on his chest. Then, he began to circulate the 'Linhai Wave Listening Technique' and began his breakthrough.
The 'Linhai Wave Listening Technique' was a pure water attribute cultivation technique. It was a slow and steady cultivation technique. Lu Ping was actually quite concerned about the stability of his foundation and the accumulation of spiritual energy. He didn't expect that he would break through to the Third Level in less than a year after breaking through to the Second Level of the Blood Condensation Realm.
However, after the incident on Xuan Qi Island, Lu Ping experienced the demon race's invasion and the series of battles on Fei Ling Island. Coupled with the continuous supply of medicinal pills, Lu Ping's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
In fact, Lu Ping was still worried about his bloodline.
He was lucky to awaken his bloodline at the age of six with an ordinary aptitude. But when he broke through to the Blood Condensation Realm, his foundation bloodline, the Flood Dragon Bloodline, swallowed the Tortoise Bloodline. That really gave Lu Ping a fright.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any problems when he broke through to the Second Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. However, Lu Ping was still worried that his foundation bloodline would cause trouble again.
His spiritual energy flowed along with his blood. At this moment, his foundation bloodline also became restless. This time, it fused with the ice-attribute Tiger Bloodline.
Like before, it swallowed the spiritual energy from the Tiger Bloodline. The Flood Dragon Bloodline absorbed the spiritual energy from the Tiger Bloodline and absorbed it into its own spiritual energy. It didn't fuse with the Tiger Bloodline. There was no trace of the Tiger Bloodline in the Flood Dragon Bloodline. His foundation bloodline was still as tyrannical as ever.
The only difference this time was that the Tiger Bloodline that had lost its spiritual energy still existed. It wasn't like the Tortoise Bloodline, which was completely swallowed by the foundation bloodline.
Lu Ping opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark red viscous blood. He collected it in a jade bottle he had prepared beforehand. This was the wasted bloodline. But after the foundation bloodline devoured the arcane energy in the bloodline, there was no longer any vitality left in the bloodline.
Lu Ping heard that after other cultivators advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, the wasted bloodline would lose its spiritual energy, but its vitality would remain. This was also an important method that alchemists could use to refine Blood Replenishing Pills, Meridian Stabilizing Pills, and other pills to replenish the bloodline when breaking through to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm, Late Blood Condensation Realm, and Golden Core Realm.
Obviously, Lu Ping's wasted bloodline didn't have this function. Fortunately, on the whole, Lu Ping didn't make any mistakes in his cultivation. He still followed the laws of the cultivation world. It was just that the foundation bloodline was a bit too overbearing.
After receiving a large amount of spiritual energy, the foundation bloodline gathered strands of spiritual energy into the space in his heart core. A small Condensed Blood Bead started to form. However, compared to the two Condensed Blood Beads that he already had, this Condensed Blood Bead was still very weak. He needed to continue accumulating spiritual energy.
Lu Ping took a day to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm and another three days to consolidate his new cultivation. Only then did he come out of the mine.
Dabao obviously understood that Lu Ping must have obtained some benefits from this closed-door cultivation, so it quickly came up to him to ask for credit. Lu Ping threw a Blood Purification Pill to it.
The giant sea turtle was very responsible and didn't move at the entrance of the mine for four days. Lu Ping still had a lot of Blood Vigor Pills left over from when he was in the Blood Refining Realm. He took one out and rewarded it to the giant sea turtle. The giant sea turtle obviously knew that this was a good thing and quickly swallowed it.
There were only three or four days left before the opening of Fei Ling Mountain. The battle on Spiritual Medicine Mountain should be coming to an end. Lu Ping planned to go and take a look and meet up with Zhenling and the others.
Before he left, Lu Ping dug out a bag of Red Granite from the mine. Although Lu Ping didn't care about mid-grade spirit ores, he didn't want them for free.
Spiritual Medicine Mountain was the shortest among the five peaks of Fei Ling Mountain, but it occupied the largest area and had the richest spiritual energy. The largest branch of Fei Ling Mountain was on top of Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
At this time, Spiritual Medicine Mountain was already barren. Along the way, there were many traces of battle. Clearly, the battle had ended. The cultivators had gathered according to their sects and were making their final preparations for the trip to Fei Ling Mountain.
After another day, Lu Ping, who came alone, attracted the attention of the cultivators in Fei Ling Mountain. Lu Ping, who was treated as a fat sheep, was ambushed three times in a row. The first time, it was two disciples from an unknown sect. Lu Ping took care of them in a short while. When Lu Ping was in the Second Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm, he could already kill four Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm disciples that surrounded him. Now that his cultivation had advanced, his strength was naturally much stronger.
When he reached the waist of the mountain, cultivators from other sects, who didn't know Lu Ping's background, surrounded Lu Ping again. This time, there were five of them, and one of them was a disciple from the Shui Yan Pavilion. Naturally, Lu Ping wouldn't hold back. With the Soaring Wing Sword, he killed three of them in the blink of an eye. As for the remaining two, one used a secret technique to escape, while the other threw a storage bag to Lu Ping and ran away.
The two battles on Spiritual Medicine Mountain that had already calmed down naturally appeared abrupt, arousing the curiosity of the cultivators on the mountain peak. When they found out that it was Lu Ping, Zhenling's faction quickly sent people to support him. Only then did they manage to avoid a bigger conflict.
Lu Ping obtained another six storage bags. Apart from the sixth bag, which was left behind by an escaping cultivator to cover his escape, Lu Ping obtained a total of 1,000 stalks of 500-year-old spiritual herbs, 10 stalks of 1,000-year-old spiritual herbs, nearly 10,000 spirit stones, and five to six bottles of medicinal pills.
This was Lu Ping's biggest harvest after entering Fei Ling Island. Lu Ping silently sorted out his harvest. It seemed that the cultivators on Spiritual Medicine Mountain had gained quite a lot. Fortunately, although his two battles had attracted the attention of the cultivators on the mountain peak, no one knew who won or lost the battles. Otherwise, they would eventually find out what kind of wealth Lu Ping was hiding.
The mountain peak was very close to Fei Ling Mountain, so after the battle on Spiritual Medicine Mountain came to an end, no one left. Instead, they waited here for Fei Ling Mountain to open.
Lu Ping listened to Wei Zi-Heng talk about what happened on Spiritual Medicine Mountain these few days. There were about 140 cultivators from various sects who participated in the battle on Spiritual Medicine Mountain, and in the end, about 30 people died on Spiritual Medicine Mountain. The battle could be said to be tragic.
During and after the battle, more cultivators arrived one after another. Now, the number of cultivators on Spiritual Medicine Mountain had recovered to 140 people.
At this time, there were 44 cultivators left in Zhenling's faction, and 42 cultivators in Xuan Ling Sect's faction. The difference between the two sides was not big. Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion's faction originally had 30 people, but only 17 people were left. The other sects' disciples suffered the most losses. Now, there were probably only about 30 people left. Nearly half of them had died.
Fei Ling Mountain was the main peak of Fei Ling Island. It was the location of Fei Ling Sect's giant spirit vein. Although it was now damaged and reduced to a large spirit vein, every 500 years, it was still the main target for cultivators who entered the island.
Compared to the spirit herb garden on Fei Ling Mountain, Spiritual Medicine Mountain was just a bonus. More importantly, there were countless cave abodes on Fei Ling Mountain. Because of the weakening of the spiritual energy and the lack of someone to maintain the array formation for a long time, a different number of cave abodes would appear every time Fei Ling Mountain opened.
Although the cave abodes of high-level cultivators had been swept clean by Fa Xiang Laozu, there were still a large number of cave abodes for other cultivators. Moreover, it was possible that there were no high-level cultivators' cave abodes that Laozu had missed. Once a Core Forging Enlightened Master's cave abode appeared, it would be a battle of life and death.
There were still two days left. Lu Ping secretly put Dabao down and told him to go underground to find the Spirit-Gathering Pearl formed by the source of the spiritual energy. Spiritual Medicine Mountain was formed by a branch of the spirit vein on Fei Ling Mountain. After thousands of years, there might be Spirit-Gathering Pearls forming below it.
Spiritual Medicine Mountain was huge, and the earth vein was also complicated. Dabao had only found the spirit vein of Spiritual Medicine Mountain in the belly of the mountain after a whole day of digging. Lu Ping was not in a hurry. The formation of this kind of thing was already a blessing, and he was already lucky enough to find it. Compared to other cultivators, Lu Ping was satisfied.
On the last day, Dabao finally found a Spirit-Gathering Pearl in the spirit vein. Although it was only a miniature Spirit-Gathering Pearl, Lu Ping was still overjoyed and rewarded Dabao. Then, he turned his attention to Fei Ling Mountain. However, Dabao had already exhausted his spiritual energy and did not have a trace of strength. He lay on the ground and refused to move no matter how many times Lu Ping called him.
