Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 51 Patrol the Sea

"Director Pang, as far as I know, Zhenren Xi Xuanmu was the direct disciple of our sect, so his cultivation should be above the fourth level of the Alchemy stage. However, although the jade magic figure is glittering with gold, there are three spiritual halos in it. It was obviously made by a Zhenren at the third level of the Alchemy stage, so I am puzzled. Please resolve my doubts."

It was Shi Lingling who spoke in the No. 10 room.

Lu Ping heard what Shi Lingling said and hurriedly looked at the jade magic figure. He saw the golden light on the surface of the jade magic figure, but could not see what was inside it. Shi Lingling might have cultivated some kind of mysterious skill about eyes. Otherwise, she, who had not yet reached the Blood Dissolving stage, could not use Divine Mentality Coercion to observe things like them.

Director Pang on the stage smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's Miss Shi from the Shi family. Your learning is profound and immense. No wonder you can recognize the thing inside the Magic Treasure."

"This Magic Treasure was indeed made by Zhenren Xi at the third level of the Alchemy stage. Now he has already broken through the third level of the Alchemy stage, but he is a direct disciple of the True Spirit Sect."

Lu Ping finally knew that the disciples of the True Spirit Sect were divided into so many kinds. Before, he only overheard that Immortal Senior Liu was already the core disciple of their sect after entering the late stage of Blood Dissolving. It seemed that there were indeed direct disciples above core disciples. And listening to the dialogue between the two, Lu Ping realized that disciples needed to be above the fourth level of the Alchemy stage before they became direct disciples.

When Lu Ping, who had heard some secrets about the True Spirit Sect, was guessing Shi Lingling's identity, Director Pang had announced that the bidding began.

The starting price of the Magic Treasure was 2,000 spiritual stones. Because the starting price was too high, only the disciples of aristocratic families were likely to buy it. Ordinary cultivators at the Blood Refining stage didn't have so many spiritual stones unless they were upstarts like Lu Ping. Therefore, the price of the Magic Treasure didn't raise at a very quick speed.

Lu Ping already had a Magic Treasure, so he didn't compete for this one. Moreover, he had already sparked public outrage earlier. If he bid for it, he would provoke an uproar from the others.

Thinking of something, Lu Ping took out the Magic Treasure he had obtained.

The golden light on the surface of this Golden Spear Magic Treasure had dimmed because this Magic Treasure had been used once.

Lu Ping fixed his eyes on the inner part of the Magic Treasure. Sure enough, he saw a faint spiritual halo rotating in the center of the spiritual jade of the Magic Treasure.

Lu Ping was surprised and puzzled. This Magic Treasure was only made by a Zhenren at the first level of the Alchemy stage, but thinking of the power of the golden spear, Lu Ping shook his head and said inwardly, "The Magic Treasure made by a Zhenren at the first level of the Alchemy stage had such power. How powerful should this Magic Treasure made by a Zhenren at the third level of the Alchemy stage be?"

At this time, the Magic Treasure's auction was coming to an end. Shi Lingling had been increasing her offer price without hesitation, so many cultivators who bid against her gave up one after another. At this time, the Magic Treasure's price had risen to 4,300 spiritual stones.

A middle-aged cultivator under the stage offered the price with an indifferent expression.

"4,500 spiritual stones!" Shi Lingling did not hesitate to raise her offer price.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the No. 10 private room where Shi Lingling was in. He stopped bidding. This Magic Treasure was bought by Shi Lingling in the end.

After the auction was over, Lu Ping calmly walked out of the auction house with the crowd.

There were indeed many suspicious cultivators outside the auction house sizing up the cultivators who had attended the auction.

Lu Ping's calm look did not attract other people's attention.

After leaving the auction, Lu Ping still had a lot of things to do. He purchased a large number of low-grade and medium-grade spiritual herbs for refining elixirs at the Blood Refining stage in various spiritual herb stores on Dikun Island.

Lu Ping's success rate of refining low-grade elixirs at the Blood Refining stage was about 30%. For this, Lu Ping used up the low-grade spiritual herbs that were produced by alchemist Sheng Tao's 0.1-acre spiritual herb garden in the past 200 years.

Lu Ping planned to start refining elixirs at the middle stage of Blood Refining after his success rate of making low-grade elixirs reached 50%.

There were also a lot of spiritual herbs for refining medium-grade elixirs in the spiritual herb garden, but they were only enough for making dozens of furnaces of elixirs. Therefore, Lu Ping had to spend a lot of spiritual stones to buy spiritual herbs.

Then Lu Ping bought enough spiritual herbs for 30 furnaces of low-grade elixirs and 20 furnaces of medium-grade elixirs, which cost him nearly a thousand spiritual stones.

He returned to Xuanqi Island and immediately heard of one thing. Qiao Xipeng, the eldest son of the Qiao family of the Xuan Spirit Sect, led two family cultivators and found the sea snake that killed the five cultivators of the Xuan Spirit Sect on the island reef at the border sea area between the Xuan Spirit Sect and the True Spirit Sect, and fought with it.

However, one of the cultivators at the early stage of Blood Dissolving of the Qiao family died and the other was seriously injured, and the sea snake was also seriously injured by Qiao Xipeng and escaped.

Since the sea area of the incident was the closest to Huangli Island, Lu Ping, who had just returned to Xuanqi Island, was called in by Immortal Senior Liu.

The sea snake had already been skinned and killed by him. Why was there another one?

Restraining his doubts, Lu Ping came to Immortal Senior Liu's cultivation room.

Seeing Lu Ping, Immortal Senior Liu said with a smile, "Good, your cultivation has been greatly improved. I thought you would be the fourth cultivator of our seventh team to reach the Blood Dissolving stage. It seems that I underestimated you."

Lu Ping quickly bowed, "I couldn't have achieved that without your training."

Immortal Senior Liu said with a smile, "Let's pass those polite remarks. I called you here because of the war at the juncture sea of our sect and the Xuan Spirit Sect. You probably have heard about it."

Seeing Lu Ping nod, Immortal Senior Liu continued, "It's common for cultivators to have fights, but this event is related to the thing that the sea snake killed the disciples of the Xuan Spirit Sect on the reef island. It involves not only our True Spirit Sect but also the demon race in the far sea. We have to be vigilant."

Immortal Senior Liu was satisfied that Lu Ping listened to him carefully, and then continued, "The both events happened at the place that is the closest to your Huangli Island, so you need to pay particular attention to it. I'm afraid the Qiao family of the Xuan Spirit Sect will not leave the matter at that. They will enter the waters of Huangli Island to search for the escaped sea snake."

Lu Ping was surprised and said, "The Xuan Spirit Sect thinks that the sea snake has escaped to the sea area of our True Spirit Sect?"

Immortal Senior Liu said, "I have to guard against that. If they really do that, our True Spirit Sect will step in and accuse them of entering our territory without authorization and plotting against our sect."

After a pause, Immortal Senior Liu took out a Magic Figure and handed it to Lu Ping. Lu Ping knew that it was a Sound Transmission Magic Figure made by a cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage.

Immortal Senior Liu said, "Recently, you should patrol the sea more often, especially the border sea area between the south of Huangli Island and the Xuan Spirit Sect. If you find something, tear this up. Other Immortal Seniors and I on Xuanqi Island will come to you as soon as possible."

Huangli Island was still very peaceful. Lu Ping also started his necessary work and planted the 1.2-acre spiritual field with spiritual grains. Because Lu Ping had learned a new Spirit-Urging Skill, the growth cycle of spiritual grains was shortened from three months to two months, so he could harvest more spiritual grains and get more spiritual stones.

Lu Ping persevered with alchemy. With the support of a large number of spiritual herbs, he had made some progress in alchemy.

In addition to cultivating at the fixed time, Lu Ping had another task, patrolling the sea!

In fact, the Immortal Senior who was stationed on the island had the obligation to patrol the sea, but there were no requirements about the frequency and way of patrolling the sea.

However, it was a little different this time.
