Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 68 Make Preparations for War (5)

After a full day of work, Lu Ping finally tidied up the place where he would work and live in the future. As the sun set, its afterglow spread on Huangli Island, as if the island was carpeted with a layer of golden sand.

Lu Ping looked at the darkening sky and was a little excited. He began to look forward to the wealth in the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake's cave. Twenty-nine spiritual stones? When was he also so poor? Which level of Blood Refining was he at back then?

It was finally dark. There was no wind on the calm sea, and a man in black was driving a small boat across the sky not far from the sea. His speed was so fast that only a black shadow could be seen in the sky as if he had melted into the darkening night.

In the sea area of the Xuan Spirit Sect, the man in black encountered a group of cultivators of the Xuan Spirit Sect who were patrolling the sea. Fortunately, the sea area here was remote and desolate in the view of the Xuan Spirit Sect. If the situation between the True Spirit Sect and the Xuan Spirit Sect was not tense, no patrol-cultivators could be found here usually. These cultivators were all disciples at the Blood Refining stage and were easily avoided by the man in black.

After going deep into the Xuan Spirit Sect's sea area for more than five miles, the man in black suddenly stopped on the sea and took out a Magic Figure that was shimmering with faint silver light from his storage bag. He looked overjoyed and seemed to find something.

The man in black was Lu Ping. The Magic Figure in his hand was the Root Magic Figure of the Sub-Root Early Warning Magic Figure. Last time, he left the Sub Magic Figure as a mark near the cave of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake.

Lu Ping performed Water-Avoiding Spell and slid towards the seabed. This time, he easily got to the seabed. The huge water pressure he experienced before was a piece of cake for him this time. Moreover, the Cultivation Method of Water System Lu Ping cultivated also made him have a heartfelt cordiality to the sea.

Lu Ping suddenly felt that he should have been the spirit in the water. It was just that he had been out of the sea for too long and needed to be re-acquainted with it, but the natural intimacy he had with the sea could not be erased anyway.

The seabed was completely dark at this time, but it was not a problem for Lu Ping. Following the induction of the Early Warning Magic Figure, Lu Ping easily found the place where the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake died.

Although nearly a year had passed, the body of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake was still well preserved. Its cultivation at the Blood Dissolving stage and noble Bloodline preserved its grave and dignified bearing and sent out a faint pressure, so the nearby marine creatures dared not approach it at all.

Lu Ping was already familiar with dealing with the body of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake. In a moment, he finished handling the sea snake's meat, skin, and bones. Moreover, he got a blood dissolving bead at the third level of Blood Dissolving.

The body of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake coiled up in front of a natural cave formed by a reef. After Lu Ping dealt with the body, he probed towards the cave. To safeguard against dangers, he took out Flying Swallow Sword.

The cave of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake was quite decent. The entrance of the cave was very long and went aslant upward the sea. Lu Ping walked nearly 250 meters and then saw a little light at the other side of the entrance through the seawater in the cave.

Lu Ping became more and more careful. He came to the other side of the entrance and sent his Divine Mentality Coercion into the cave. After Lu Ping repeatedly confirmed that it was safe inside, he came out of the seawater and into the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Ping immediately felt the spiritual Qi that was much stronger than that of the outside. He immediately got excited. Was there also a spiritual vein here? Lu Ping felt the concentration of the spiritual Qi. The spiritual vein here should be the same size as the one in the Spiritual Herb Garden.

The cave was probably built in the interior of a small island in the sea, which was smaller than Lu Ping's abode, but it was enough for two adult Blue Sea Spiritual Snakes to coil up here.

The entrance of the cave directly led to the center of the cave. There were many plants around the cave, and Lu Ping saw many spiritual herbs among them, including more than a dozen spiritual herbs for refining the elixirs at the Blood Dissolving stage, but only seven or eight of them were ripe.

Lu Ping looked around the cave and looked for the place where the spiritual vein originated. Only then did he find something behind a huge stone on the north side of the cave.

This huge stone lay horizontally in front of the stone wall, and its top and bottom were connected with the stone wall. At first sight, it looked like the huge stone was a part of the stone wall. Lu Ping walked closer and found that there was still space behind the huge stone, and the strong spiritual Qi was emitting from here.

Lu Ping went behind the huge stone and saw more than a dozen dense spiritual herbs that were about 500 years old in the center of this small space. However, these spiritual herbs fell on all sides and formed a nest with three white snake eggs in it. The eggs were glittering like three huge jade beads.

Although the three snake eggs looked brilliant, Lu Ping's Divine Mentality Coercion felt that the vitality inside them was slowly disappearing. Obviously, without the care and hatch of their parents, even with the continuous supply of spiritual Qi from the spiritual vein and the nourishment of the medicinal power that came from the surrounding spiritual herbs, the spiritual snake eggs still could not escape from death.

Fortunately, Lu Ping was here!

Since Lu Ping learned about the position of Blue Sea Spiritual Snakes in the demon race, he had been thinking about the spiritual snake's cave, and he even risked provoking a war between the two sets to explore the cave at night. His main purpose was to find the snake eggs of the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake. At this time, he found what he wished to get, and his excitement was almost impossible to describe

He carefully held the three spiritual snake eggs in his hands, and slowly injected his magic power into them according to the method of hatching spiritual beasts recorded in Travels of Sheng Tao.Lu Ping's Divine Mentality Coercion could clearly feel that the vitality in these three snake eggs was slowly recovering.

Lu Ping collected the dozen or so five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs under the snake eggs, put them into the jade box he prepared, and then pasted a Spirit-Sealing Magic Figure on the jade box.

Five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were generally a necessity for refining elixirs at the Blood Dissolving stage, and Lu Ping naturally treated them with caution. When collecting these spiritual herbs, Lu Ping discovered that there were more than a dozen medium-grade spiritual stones amid these spiritual herbs. It was probably the parents of the snake eggs who put them there. Supernatural beasts rarely used storage magic devices before they entered the Alchemy stage and transformed into humans. When they met spiritual materials that were useful to them, they usually swallowed them directly. However, the spiritual snakes put these spiritual stones under the snake eggs. Every parent was admirable! Lu Ping sighed as he put the dozen or so spiritual stones into his bag. They could be a temporary expedient. Lu Ping was afraid of being poor again!

After walking around the cave, Lu Ping collected all the ripe spiritual herbs. With the previous 500-year-old spiritual herbs, Lu Ping obtained twenty-three five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in total and nearly 50 other spiritual herbs for refining elixirs at the Blood Dissolving stage. He didn't collect the remaining unripe spiritual herbs. He planned to move this spiritual vein to his abode on Huangli Island, and then transplant these unripe spiritual herbs there.

These dozens of spiritual herbs alone were a big income. However, Lu Ping was determined to refine elixirs. These spiritual herbs couldn't be traded for spiritual stones but were bound to be ruined by Lu Ping.

There were several pieces of red copper ores in the cave, which were scattered around. Red copper was a kind of spiritual material for refining magic weapons of fire attribute. These ores were barely enough to refine a medium-grade magic weapon.
