"Break for me!"
As soon as Luo Ping's voice fell, the surrounding vines completely disappeared. After taking a deep breath and putting away the picture scroll, Luo Ping lifted his feet and left. This time, there were no more traps.
"Finally, all the traps have been broken. However, why does it seem like I'm still in this place? Logically speaking, I should have appeared in the main hall. "
Looking at the surrounding environment, which was still exactly the same as before, Luo Ping's face revealed a puzzled expression. At this time, a ray of light in the distance attracted his attention.
"There's actually a light. Could it be an exit or something? Let's go and take a look."
Luo Ping directly flew towards the light in the distance. As he continued to increase his speed, the light in the distance gradually became bigger. After flying for a full incense stick's worth of time, he finally saw the place where the light came from.
This was actually a cave. The so-called light was just a white light emitted by a strange stone at the entrance of the cave. Luo Ping stared at the stone thoughtfully. He felt that he seemed to recognize it, but he couldn't recall it at the moment.
At this time, Luo Ping suddenly looked to the right behind him. A figure floated over. The figure still had a cold face, but the other party looked at Luo Ping with a kind of surprise and shock.
"Brother Yu's speed is not slow." Luo Ping said with a smile.
"Luo Ping's speed is even faster. This is really unexpected. I thought that this Young Master's speed was already fast enough. It seems that I still underestimated Brother Luo."
As Young Master Yu spoke, he also saw the strange stone in front of him. His originally cold face clearly showed shock. Although he immediately suppressed it, it still couldn't escape Luo Ping's observation.
"This Luo was just lucky. In terms of cultivation strength, Brother Yu must be much higher than me. Now that I haven't seen any treasures, the outcome has not been decided. What's the harm in being a step earlier or later?"
As soon as Luo Ping said this, Gongzi Yu was obviously very happy. It seemed that not only ordinary people, but even self-cultivators also enjoyed the flattery of others. Seeing this, Luo Ping suddenly smiled in his heart and looked at the stone in front of him.
"I wonder if Brother Yu recognizes this strange stone. Oh, that's not right. With Brother Yu's insight and knowledge, I presume you've long since recognized it. I hope Brother Yu won't be stingy with your guidance."
After saying that, Luo Ping cupped his fists slightly, making a gesture of asking for guidance. Seeing this, Gongzi Yu raised his eyebrows and inwardly cursed Luo Ping for being shameless.
At this moment, Gongzi Yu also knew that his shocked expression had been seen by Luo Ping. However, it was because this stone had given him too much of a shock, causing a flaw to appear in his expression, which he had never liked to show on his face.
"Originally, it was not a big deal to tell you. However, the value of this stone is too great. I was afraid that you would fight for it with all your might. Therefore, before I tell you, we need to discuss how to distribute this strange stone," Gongzi Yu said calmly.
"Oh? Distribution? This is also good. At least we don't have to make a big fuss over it. I just don't know how Brother Yu intends to distribute it? "
Luo Ping asked with a smile that was not a smile. Although he might not necessarily lose in the fight for the strange stone, wouldn't it be like using a wicker basket to draw water if someone else came here during the fight?
Obviously, Luo Ping had the same idea. Both of them were afraid of each other's methods. Under the circumstances where they couldn't see through each other's true strength, neither of them was willing to act rashly. Moreover, both of them still had a bet.
"Since I recognize this stone, and also know some information about it, of course we should get a bigger share. If Brother Luo doesn't mind, let's divide it 30-70. How about you get 30% and I get 70%?"
"I mind!"
As soon as Gongzi Yu's voice fell, he was met with a strong objection from Luo Ping. Gongzi Yu's face clearly sank. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Luo Ping's attitude.
Luo Ping also looked at Gongzi Yu with an unkind expression. It was obvious that Gongzi Yu's method of distribution was unreasonable. After a short silence, Luo Ping spoke again.
"Although Brother Yu recognizes this stone, it can't be used as a basis to divide more. At most, I won't ask you about this stone. In this way, your advantage won't be an advantage."
"You don't understand the situation of this stone. Even if you get it, it will only be a waste of resources. Don't tell me that you intend to find someone to identify this stone after you go out?"
"Why not?" Luo Ping asked.
"Haha, I'm not boasting. Except for a very small number of Master Blacksmiths, no one can recognize this stone. Even if you find someone who knows it, I can guarantee that you will absolutely not be able to keep this stone."
Gongzi Yu said with a cold smile. He seemed to find Luo Ping's idea very funny. When Luo Ping heard this, he felt that Gongzi Yu was not deliberately deceiving him. He couldn't help but doubt the value of this stone even more.
Since this was the case, it was even more impossible for him to give Gongzi Yu a bigger share. However, he knew nothing about this strange stone. He still needed to understand it from Gongzi Yu. He couldn't be too forceful for now.
It was better to calm Gongzi Yu down and understand the situation of the strange stone first. As for whether Gongzi Yu would accept the distribution or fight for it after he understood it, wouldn't it all be up to him?
"Since Brother Yu has said so, let's each take a step back. I'll take a bit of a loss. I'll take 40% and Brother Yu will take 60%. How about it?"
"Okay, deal."
Gongzi Yu agreed to Luo Ping's suggestion without hesitation. Then, under Luo Ping's request, he first explained the situation of this stone. Hearing this, Luo Ping couldn't wait to snatch the stone and run away immediately.
"Actually, this strange stone isn't a stone. It's a kind of jade. However, it's also not an ordinary jade. It comes from an ancient clan — the Pupil Clan. It's formed naturally from the pupils of the Pupil Clan. Therefore, this jade is called the 'Heaven Light Pupil Jade'."
Hearing this, Luo Ping suddenly thought of something. Not only because he understood the name and origin of this jade, but also because he had seen this jade before. He had even collected it before. However, he didn't recognize it back then and didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until he saw this jade that he suddenly felt a similar aura. However, he didn't think that he had it in his hands. He fell into deep thought for a moment.
"The formation of the Heaven Light Pupil Jade is long and complicated. Moreover, not every Pupil Clan member can produce this jade in their pupils. It has to be the royal family of the Pupil Clan — the Heavenly Pupil Clan."
"It is said that the pupils of the Eye Tribe of the Sky Eye Lineage are born with various mystic powers. As they cultivate, these mystic powers will be activated continuously. At the same time, a jade stone will be formed in their pupils."
"In the beginning, the jadestone is very small. When the cultivation of the Pupil Race reaches a certain level, the jadestone will reach its maximum size. After that, the Pupil Race will use a secret technique to constantly refine the jadestone in their eyes, making it even purer and more indestructible."
Saying this, Gongzi Yu looked at Luo Ping and then at the jade in front of him before continuing, "Actually, this Heaven Light Pupil Jade is only a half-finished product. It should have only been refined for an extremely short period of time. Even so, this Heaven Light Pupil Jade's value is immeasurable."
"For some unknown reason, this piece of Heaven Light Pupil Jade would have appeared within the sect of the Extreme Yin Sect. Perhaps the powerful beings of the Extreme Yin Sect had forcefully killed off the members of the Pupil race and stripped it away. No matter what, it's ours now."
Luo Ping was completely shocked by Gongzi Yu's words. He didn't expect the formation of the Heaven Light Pupil Jade to be so complicated. No wonder Gongzi Yu was so surprised when he saw this jade.
"Brother Yu, after talking for so long, you still haven't explained what the Heaven Light Pupil Jade is used for. Are you trying to deceive me?" Luo Ping asked with a smile.
"I'm a man of my words. Since I've promised to tell you, I won't play any tricks. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
"No one knows what the Heaven Light Pupil Jade is used for. However, it's very valuable to us cultivators. It can be said to be the best material for refining spiritual weapons."
"The failure rate of refining spiritual weapons with the Heaven Light Pupil Jade is very small. It's not an exaggeration to say that an Immortal Weapon Refiner can guarantee a 100% success rate."
Hearing Gongzi Yu's words, Luo Ping couldn't help but reveal a doubtful expression. No Immortal Weapon Refiner could guarantee such a thing. Could it be possible with the Heaven Light Pupil Jade? Wasn't that a little too exaggerated?
Gongzi Yu noticed the change in Luo Ping's expression, but he didn't respond. He continued with his topic.
"Besides refining spiritual weapons, the Heaven Light Pupil Jade has other uses. For example …"
Suddenly, Gongzi Yu stopped talking and looked into the distance. Luo Ping did the same. Looking at the figures flying over from afar, Luo Ping revealed an imperceptible smile.
The six figures flew at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Luo Ping and Gongzi Yu in the blink of an eye. Both of them were surprised and puzzled.
Although they didn't want to believe that Luo Ping was the first to arrive here, they could still accept it. After all, Luo Ping had shown extraordinary means.
However, there was something wrong with the other person beside Luo Ping. If they remembered correctly, this person was obviously not as fast as them. He should be in the group of self-cultivators behind them.
In terms of speed, it was impossible for this person to be faster than the six of them. After all, they were the fastest to pass the test in the second hall. Moreover, in the third hall, the six of them had to join forces to pass the trapping array.
Luo Ping, of course, knew what they were thinking when he sensed the strange gazes of the six people staring at Gongzi Yu. However, he would not reveal the crux of the matter, so he would just let them be curious.
"Haha, so it's Captain Ji and fellow Daoists. I didn't expect you to be so fast. It seems like you must have gained a lot."
Luo Ping greeted the six people with a smile. Although it was just a greeting, he speculated that at least half of them had gained something. It was even possible that all of them had obtained treasures.
