Cai Zishu and Su Ziqin were overjoyed to hear this. Huang Li Island's auction had become a very influential event for Zhenling, targeting individual practitioners from the North Sea. Every time it was held, it brought Zhenling and Lu Ping a lot of income.
With the rise of Huang Li Island's auction, Zhenren Dabao's fame also grew, especially after Lu Ping had advanced to become a Dharma adept. As the first follower of Lu Tianping Laozu, Dabao's status in Zhenling and the world of practitioners naturally grew.
As the leader of Huang Li Island's auction, Zhenren Dabao's treasures were innumerable to Zhenling's practitioners below the Core Forging stage. There were even rumors that the treasures that Lu Tianping Laozu, who was known as the "Treasure Boy," had no use for, were most likely in Zhenren Dabao's hands.
There was once a disciple who was a practitioner of formations, because he had put forward a rather meaningful opinion on formations, which earned him the appreciation of Zhenling's formation master, Lu Tianping Laozu's cultivation partner, Zhenren Silver Fox. Thus, he was taken to Huang Li Island to choose a treasure from Zhenren Dabao. In the end, he chose a piece of Millennium Lightning-Struck Wood.
Although the Thousand Years Thunderstruck Wood was not as good as the Thousand Years Thunderstruck Peach Wood, which could be used as a top-grade spiritual material for a Formation Master's Natal Array Disc, it was still an extremely rare treasure for a Formation Master to cultivate their Natal Array Disc. Countless Zhen Ling Sect Formation Cultivators were envious of it.
Seeing the two people happily take away the silent disciples from the various sects, Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Looks like we can't hide the news any longer. We can only try to buy as much time as possible!"
Liu Tianling Laozu also said, "That's the only way. However, I'm afraid that this method will be criticized by others in the future. After all, you're a dignified Dharma Laozu now, yet you're scheming against these insignificant Minor Repairs. It's not good for your reputation."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Teacher, you're worrying too much. Disciple's medicinal pellet isn't an ordinary Bewilderment Pellet. It's called the Dream Awakening Pellet. Although it made them lose their consciousness, it's still very beneficial to their cultivation."
Liu Tianling nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a muffled sound that sounded like an explosion coming from the bottom of the sea. The master and disciple's expressions became solemn, and they immediately cast all of their Divine Sense into the nearby sea.
After a while, the two of them dived into the mist and charged in two different directions.
On the surface of the sea five kilometers away from where the two of them had parted ways, the surging seawater seemed to be boiling as heat waves surged upwards.
Just as Lu Ping arrived, he saw a blurry light in the depths of the sea suddenly become brighter and brighter, and the heat waves rising from the surface of the sea also became more and more oppressive.
Lu Ping was startled. It seemed that his luck was pretty good. The light rising from the surface of the sea should be a Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth, and judging from its power, it should be at least an Earth Rank Spiritual Fire.
Just as Lu Ping's thoughts fell, the seawater within a radius of ten meters from Lu Ping suddenly evaporated, forming a three feet deep bowl-like pit. A bright golden flame burned in the center of the pit.
Earth Rank Low Grade Golden Gilded Flame!
This kind of flame was abnormally violent, and it was not suitable for alchemy or forging. However, it was the favorite of some cultivators who pursued the explosive ability of the fire attribute. There were even some cultivators who practiced fire attribute cultivation methods who would rather give up their Earth Rank Middle Grade Spiritual Fire for this Golden Gilded Flame.
The three feet deep pit on the surface of the sea that was instantly evaporated was quickly filled up, and the seawater that crowded in from all directions took the opportunity to push the Golden Gilded Flame into the air.
Lu Ping took the opportunity to clench his hand, and a giant hand formed from seawater also clenched, grabbing the Golden Gilded Flame that was thrown into the air.
The Golden Gilded Flame was abnormally intelligent, and it seemed to feel the danger. Instantly, the flame rose, and the endless heat roasted the giant hand until water vapor shot out in all directions, and the giant hand quickly shrank.
However, Lu Ping only blew a breath of air, and the sea beneath his feet began to continuously replenish the seawater into the giant hand, maintaining the giant hand to trap the flame in the palm.
With Lu Ping's strength, it was naturally very easy for him to subdue this Earth Rank Spiritual Fire. However, this Golden Gilded Flame's spirituality had exploded, and if the cultivator's strength was slightly lacking, they would rather explode and disperse their spirituality than be captured by others. Therefore, Lu Ping had no choice but to be overly cautious.
The endless seawater continued to wear down the power of the flame until the power of the Spiritual Fire had completely dissipated, leaving only a fist-sized flame. Only then did Lu Ping take out a Spirit Sealing Box and store the Spiritual Fire inside.
As long as the spirituality of the Spiritual Fire was not lost, the lost power could be nourished and restored by the cultivator's True Essence or Spiritual Qi. This was also a common method used by cultivators to safely subdue Spiritual Qi.
Just as Lu Ping sealed the Golden Gilded Flame in the Spirit Sealing Box, Liu Tianling Laozu had already subdued a Mystic Low Grade Spiritual Fire that had escaped from the other side of the sea, and he hurried over to meet up with Lu Ping.
Hearing that Lu Ping had actually subdued a Golden Gilded Flame, even Liu Tianling Laozu, who was the head of Zhenling Sect, who was used to seeing many rare treasures, had his eyes lit up. He said, "This Spiritual Fire can create a good seedling for practicing fire attribute cultivation methods."
Lu Ping nodded. Then, he hesitated and asked, "Teacher, should I purify the poisonous fire mist on the surface of the sea? If our sect's cultivators were to come here, I'm afraid they would be poisoned by the poison with their cultivation bases."
"Don't restrain the fire poison mist for now!"
Liu Tianling and Laozu were hesitating, but Tian Xiang Laozu had already appeared on the sea and said to the two of them.
Tian Xiang Laozu had obviously followed the two Spiritual Fires that had escaped from the bottom of the sea, and coincidentally heard the conversation between Lu Ping and his teacher.
Tian Xiang Laozu waved his hand, stopping the two of them from saluting, and said, "The situation down there seems to be more complicated than what we expected. The fire vein that we discovered was only an insignificant part of a huge underwater volcano chain, but when we were exploring it just now, it triggered the entire volcano chain. Now, the entire underwater volcano chain is on the verge of erupting, and it is rising rapidly. It is estimated that in one or two days at most, it will rush out of the sea. At that time, it may form a huge volcano chain, and this place will soon become a world of fire."
Liu Tianling and Lu Ping were stunned by Tian Xiang Laozu's words. Was the appearance of a huge volcano chain just because of an insignificant fire vein?
Tian Xiang Laozu seemed to have seen through their doubts, but he didn't explain too much. Instead, he said, "Come down with me to take a look at this fire vein. Right now, Tianjiang, Tianlu, and Tiancheng are doing their best to prevent the fire vein from triggering the entire underwater volcano chain, but I don't think they can hold on for long. When the volcano erupts, it will definitely attract the cultivators of the north sea, so our sect can only try to get as many benefits as possible before the volcano erupts."
As the three of them dived down, Liu Tianling asked curiously, "It seems that several Spiritual Fires of Heaven and Earth escaped at the same time. Otherwise, with Martial Uncle's power, he shouldn't have let two Spiritual Fires escape from the sea."
Speaking of gains, even Tian Xiang Laozu was a little excited. He said, "Previously, when I heard that Xuan Wei found a fire vein and obtained a Spiritual Fire, I gathered a few people and rushed over. After that, I followed the fire vein and found two Profound Rank Spiritual Fires. I originally thought that this fire vein only had this much potential, but unexpectedly, it triggered the entire volcanic area. Not only did it cause the entire earth vein to become unstable, it also shook out the four Spiritual Fires hidden in the depths of the fire vein."
Lu Ping and Liu Tianling followed behind Tian Xiang Laozu all the way down to a depth of two thousand feet. At this time, they could already see a fiery red area at the bottom of the sea. Presumably, that was where the fire vein was located.
Tian Xiang Laozu continued, "These four Spiritual Fires are one high-grade Earth Rank, one mid-grade Earth Rank, one low-grade Earth Rank, and one high-grade Profound Rank. The Old Man and the others originally wanted to guide this fire vein to Tianling Mountain, but unexpectedly, it triggered the volcanic area, so they could only stop it midway. Unexpectedly, the power of the volcanic area had clearly exceeded our expectations. Most of the energy of the Old Man and the others were tied up in suppressing the fire vein. In the end, the Old Man could only barely collect the high-grade and mid-grade Earth Rank Spiritual Fires. Fortunately, the two of you arrived in time, otherwise, I'm afraid that even the Old Man wouldn't be able to find these two Spiritual Fires."
Hearing that, Lu Ping's heart stirred, and he said, "Martial Granduncle, can you bestow that high-grade Earth Rank Spiritual Fire to disciple?"
Tian Xiang Laozu laughed, "It's a pity, that high-grade Earth Rank Spiritual Fire is the Sea Heart Spiritual Fire. It's suitable for refining weapons, but it's quite lacking when it comes to concocting pills. Besides, don't you already have the Silver Capital Spiritual Fire? This flame is one of the most suitable Spiritual Fires in the cultivation world for concocting pills, why would you still need an Earth Rank Spiritual Fire?"
Lu Ping laughed, "Disciple found a treasure that needs to be nurtured with Spiritual Fire, and this high-grade Earth Rank Spiritual Fire is just right."
Tian Xiang Laozu said, "Fine, according to the Old Man's prediction, even if there are no more Spiritual Fires in the fire vein, there should still be quite a few in the volcano. At that time, if you can't find a suitable Spiritual Fire, this Sea Heart Spiritual Fire will be yours."
Lu Ping was overjoyed in his heart, "Thank you, Martial Granduncle!"
Nurturing the Samling Five Elements Leaf, no matter how many Spiritual Treasures there were, it would never be enough!
As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the bottom of the sea, and they saw Spiritual Master Xuan Wei wearing a treasure robe that was at least of the Spirit Nurturing grade, ordering the three Dharma Idol Laozu around.
"Martial Granduncle Tian Jiang, please suppress the fire vein first."
"Martial Granduncle Tian Jiang, please come here and bury the Spirit Stones. Pay attention to using the True Essence in your body to temporarily protect it, don't let the Spirit Stones be burned by the fire vein's high temperature."
"Martial Uncle Tian Cheng, wrong, wrong, not there, move one foot to the left, right, right, right, right, there …"
The few Laozu did not say a word, following Spiritual Master Xuan Wei's orders, going around the sea in circles without any pattern. Liu Tianling and Lu Ping looked at each other, speechless.
Tian Xiang Laozu, who was at the side, smiled bitterly and said, "The formation that this mine seeker set up really has no pattern at all. We Dharma adepts have hundreds of years of experience, and we have seen all kinds of formations and restrictions, but we have never seen such a clueless way of setting up a formation. Is this a formation system unique to the mine seeker?"
Lu Ping thought of the scene of Spiritual Master Xuan Wei running around the sea and setting up the Spirit Nurturing Formation, and he agreed with him. But when did this guy get his hands on a Spirit Nurturing treasure robe? Among the mid Core Forging adepts of the sect, other than Lu Ping, this kind of treatment could be considered unique.
