Lu Ping's return did not bring any waves to Huangli Island but caused an uproar among the cultivators at the Blood Dissolving stage of the True Spirit Sect on the island. Lu Ping fought with Li Yu and the other nine people alone and inflicted a crushing defeat on them. Those cultivators at the Blood Dissolving stage had known that Li Ziming and Lu Ping were at odds a long time ago. This time, Lu Ping and Li Ziming completely turned against each other.
Then rumor had it that Lu Ping was attacked while investigating the bandits. The bandits personally admitted that they got Lu Ping's whereabouts in advance. However, there were only a few cultivators who knew Lu Ping secretly went out to sea at that time. Moreover, it was Li Ziming who recommended Lu Ping to take the secret task. So, there was nothing Li Ziming could do to vindicate himself.
Just as everyone was wondering how this thing would develop, Lu Ping either commuted between his abode and the th
After Lu Ping came out from Immortal Senior Liu's place, he came to Chen Lian's weapon-refining shop. Seeing Lu Ping, Chen Lian threw a few things to him and said sulkily, "Here are your things."Lu Ping took them and had a look. The two high-grade inner armors were shinning with several colorful Prohibitions of magic circles and looked more luxurious. They became high-grade magic weapons made of the skins of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake and the Primeval Crocodile. Lu Ping held them in his hands and simply couldn't part with them.Chen Lian aside said coldly, "It's a waste of wearing two inner armors. What are you going to do with the other one?"Lu Ping admired the two gorgeous inner armors and said, "It's a spare!"Chen Lian rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense!"Lu Ping didn't mind, put away the two inner armors, and admired the two flying needle magic weapons in his hands.Chen Lian said, "It too
Lu Ping returned to the side hall with a lot of doubts. At this time, the side hall was already empty. After asking a young cleaner, he was told that the disciples prepared to acknowledge teachers had started accepting the tests of the Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage in the square before the front hall, and all the people in the side hall had gone there to watch it.Lu Ping was naturally curious. He hurried to the square to watch the tests set up by the Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage who were going to accept students.These tests were various and strange. Some Zhenrens asked the disciples to recite a magic spell within a certain time, while some of them asked the disciples to write an article based on the topic. Some of them were quite straightforward and asked the disciples who signed up to fight and the winners could acknowledge them as teachers. Some Zhenrens' tests were stranger. They asked the disciples to go fishing in the stream on Sky Spirit Mou
In this Teacher-Acknowledging Ceremony of the True Spirit Sect, only 14 Zhenrens decided to accept students, but more than 50 disciples attended the ceremony. Some of them found that none of the Zhenrens was suitable to be their teachers, so they left in advance and waited for the next Teacher-Acknowledging Ceremony. Moreover, some of them were eliminated, so only 37 disciples got the qualification to acknowledge teachers in the end.The Teacher-Acknowledging Ceremony was held in the square in front of the Sky Spirit Palace. Early in the morning, Lu Ping came to the square with uneasiness about what would happen with other disciples who were going to acknowledge teachers.At this time, many disciples of the True Spirit Sect had gathered around the square to watch the ceremony.When it was almost time to start the ceremony, the Zhenren who was in charge of the registration of Lu Ping and the others a few days ago, came out of the Sky Spir
Zhenren Xuanyin was still expressionless, but said in a soft tone, "Greetings, Sister Liu."Zhenren Liu Xuanling smiled and nodded, then turned around and sat on the purple armchair with Zhenren Xuanyin. The eight Zhenrens at the early Alchemy stage sat back after the four Zhenrens at the middle Alchemy stage were seated.Seeing that all the 14 Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage had arrived, the young usher withdrew. A middle-aged scholar at the late stage of Blood Dissolving who had been following behind Zhenren Xuanmiao came forward and said loudly, "The Teacher-Acknowledging Ceremony starts now. All the disciples who are here to acknowledge teachers come forward to lit incense and pay respects to our venerable masters!"Lu Ping entered the Sky Spirit Palace with other disciples, lit the incense, and kowtowed to the venerable masters above the Alchemy stage of past generations, hoping that they could bless the True Spirit Sect with eternal
Lu Ping looked at the other three people. One of them was a handsome and elegant young man dressed like a young scholar. Seeing the second man, Lu Ping frowned. He knew this man. This man was the arrogant young man who asked him for one-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs after he came back from Flying Spirit Island. Lu Ping hadn't seen him for years, but he had matured a lot. This man came from the Elixirs Refining Pavilion of the True Spirit Sect. Therefore, one of the three Zhenrens except for Lu Ping's teacher must be a master alchemist of their sect.At this time, the arrogant young man had also recognized Lu Ping. His expression also changed, as if he had thought of something. Look at Zhenren Liu Xuanling who was sitting in the center of the hall, he gritted his teeth and his expression returned to normal.The third man was at Lu Ping's age and might even be younger than him. However, he had a weather-beaten face and gutsy eyes. Obviously, he had
While Lu Ping was suffering under the adoring and jealous eyes of the others, a voice said coldly, "It is said that Wei Xuren, the master alchemist of the Xuan Spirit Sect, traveled out when he was young and got a recipe of youth-retaining elixirs in the eastern sea. There is only one such recipe in the northern sea. Wei Xuren cherished it as his life and never passed it on to others. With this recipe, he refined youth-retaining elixirs and earned a lot of spiritual stones from many female cultivators and male cultivators who wanted to fawn female cultivators. Kid, who gave this recipe to you? You refined the youth-retaining elixirs yourself or got them from someone else? If you refined them yourself, who did you inherit the recipe from?"The speaker spoke slowly at first, as if he were telling a story, which attracted everyone's attention. When he asked those questions, he sounded harsh, as if he was already sure that Lu Ping was suspicious. At the same time, an
The girl turned her head and glanced at Lu Ping with guilt, then bounced to Zhenren Liu, hugged her arm, and said, "Mom, you're back. I was going to the Sky Spirit Palace for you but found that I forgot to bring my fleeing magic weapon. So, I was going back for it!"Lu Ping curled his lips aside. What a lame lie!Zhenren Liu looked at the girl with a smile. The girl knew that her lie was not convincing. She stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and fiddled with the dress belt with her hands while murmuring, "Well, I heard your words a few days ago, so I went to tell this junior fellow that you were going to accept him as your student. I chat with him but forgot to tell him your name. I suddenly remembered this today. I was about to rush to the Sky Spirit Palace to remind him, but you had brought him back!"Lu Ping shook his head helplessly and remembered the scene at that time. Fortunately, his guess was right. If it were wrong, he wou
Although Lu Ping usually wore his storage ring, it was hidden with a magic method to avoid attention when he went out. He was in his teacher's abode, so he naturally didn't need to be that careful. Moreover, it was extremely impolite to do that. Therefore, he didn't hide it with the magic method.High-grade spatial magic weapons, especially tiny jewelry magic weapons like the storage ring, were the most precious. Generally, only a few Zhenrens at the Alchemy stage had such things. Among the people of the Chonghua Mansion, only Zhenren Liu and the second senior fellow Li Xuanru had storage rings. The other two senior fellows at the Alchemy stage only had a storage belt and a Heaven and Earth Sleeve each. The other senior fellows used exquisite storage bags.Seeing that these senior fellows were surprised to see the storage ring on his finger, Lu Ping touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I got it by luck on Flying Spirit Island. It's not worth mention
