Before Lu Ping had time to find Hu Lili and the others after leaving the customs, a sound transmission sword brought Lu Ping to Tianling Mountain again.
This time it was Li Xuanru, the second senior sister, who was looking for Lu Ping.
This is Lu Ping's first visit to the cave of the second senior sister. It is not so much a cave as it is a small farm. The real Li Xuanru built a few thatched houses here, and then surrounded a circle of fences. Many fields have been opened up around, some of which are planted with spiritual grass, and some are planted with ordinary fruits and vegetables.
When Lu Ping entered the courtyard of the small farm, he found that not only himself, but also the third senior sister, fourth senior sister, and seventh senior sister had arrived, and the eighth senior sister Leng Qian and the tenth senior sister Jiang Zixuan were left in the Chonghua Mansion, and there were also those who had retreated. Sixth Senior Sister Dong Ziyu.
Seeing Lu Ping's arrival, Li Xuanru said with a smile: "Ninth Junior Brother has arrived, Sixth Junior Sister is still in seclusion, Eighth Junior Sister went out to sea to participate in the battle on Jinjiao Island, and now I don't know if she has returned. I heard that Junior Junior Sister quietly followed Master to Jinjiao Island , I think there will be no problem with Master's protection."
Everyone sat around a wooden table in the middle of the small garden. Some melons and fruits were placed on it. Although they were not spiritual fruits, they were all fresh and juicy. It must have been planted by the second senior sister herself, and they had just been picked for the guests. , Lu Ping took a piece of fruit and took a bite, the taste was quite good.
Everyone smiled knowingly when they saw Lu Ping's actions, knowing that Lu Ping did not regard himself as an outsider, the second senior sister was quite happy, only to hear her go on to say: "This time the two races of humans and monsters will fight on Jinjiao Island. We all know about it. Master Jiang Xuanlin succeeded in advancing to the stage of Dharma this time, becoming another ancestor of our school, and defeated the island master of Jinjiao Island who also had the same advanced stage of Dharma in front of the Beihai cultivators. Shake the North Sea."
Lu Ping didn't know that Master Jiang Xuanlin had defeated the Lord of the Golden Jiao Island, he only knew that Master Jiang fought with the Lord of the Golden Jiao Island all the way, and disappeared.
"Second Senior Sister, Senior Master, how come we don't know anything about the advanced stage of Dharma Aspects? Isn't it said that monks' advanced Dharma Aspects will trigger huge celestial phenomena?" Seventh Senior Sister Hua Zifang couldn't help asking.
Daoist Li Xuanru smiled mysteriously, and said, "Why didn't it cause a celestial phenomenon? Have you forgotten the huge aura vortex at the top of Tianling Mountain a few months ago?"
Seventh Senior Sister covered her mouth with her hands in amazement, and said, "Didn't you say that the ancestor of Faxiang was trying out spells? Could it be the celestial phenomenon caused by Master and his old man breaking through the stage of Faxiang?"
Master Li Xuanru nodded slightly. Lu Ping saw the calm faces of the third and fourth senior sisters. He thought they already knew about it. Sure enough, Master Li Xuanru continued: "At that time, the sect began to arrange for Jinjiao Island. The monks above the alchemy stage of this school, other disciples don't know about this, and the huge celestial phenomenon is also covered up by the sect with the excuse of the ancestor of the Dharma Primer trying out spells."
Lu Ping recalled Master Liu's expression when he noticed the appearance of the celestial phenomenon. She knew that it was Master Jiang Xuanlin who made the breakthrough. What order was received at that time.
Master Li Xuanru went on to say: "A monk's advanced Dharma stage usually only appears once in tens of years or even hundreds of years in Beihai, and the advanced Dharma stage means stepping into the highest level of the cultivation world. Therefore, whenever a monk During the stage of advanced Dharma, grand ceremonies will be held to celebrate, to promote the divine power of the ancestors, and the sect will naturally not give up this opportunity to elevate the status of the sect and publicize the prestige of the master."
Lu Ping had basically guessed the purpose of the second senior sister calling everyone to come, and sure enough, Master Li Xuanru went on to say: "This faction is already preparing for the master's Dharma meeting, and all the disciples under the master's sect of Xiaoyao Mansion have already been busy, and the invitations are sent to All the big and small forces in Beihai, and famous casual cultivators, I believe that Master will use Jinjiao Island as the master this time, and the scale of the Dharma Conference will probably be unprecedentedly grand."
"My Chonghua Mansion and Xiaoyao Mansion belong to two mansions, but they are actually one." Seeing the seventh senior sister Hua Zifang hesitate to speak, Li Xuanru said with a smile: "Seventh senior sister, senior sister knows what you want to ask, but teacher and I don't know much about the matter of the master, your third and fourth senior sisters, I can only tell you that there is no Chonghua mansion under you, the eighth and ninth junior brothers, under the teacher's sect, and we are all A disciple of the Xiaoyao Mansion."
After hearing so much from the second senior sister, Lu Ping knew that he had a little understanding of the inside story of the master's school, but when he was talking about the critical moment, the second senior sister stopped. I must know something about it, but I can't say it.
Lu Ping knew that the previous words were mainly for himself and Seventh Senior Sister. Obviously, the two of them had not been in Chonghua Mansion for a long time, and they were not very clear about the relationship between Chonghua Mansion and Xiaoyao Mansion, which wasted a lot of talking.
Immediately afterwards, Master Li Xuanru talked about the purpose of convening everyone today, saying: "After the Dharma conference is held, all sects, forces, and casual cultivators participating in the Dharma conference will send congratulatory gifts as usual. Obviously the teacher will not participate in the Dharma meeting, but we disciples must not lose our courtesy. In the past, although the real people of the two lines did not communicate with each other, the disciples of the two lines were close. If we don’t want to stop this situation, we will invite all junior sisters and juniors here today, just to discuss with you, what kind of congratulatory gift should we give?”
Lu Ping knew that this kind of thing was usually discussed by the three senior sisters in the alchemy stage. The second senior sister finally made up her mind that it was just a matter of etiquette to call herself and the seventh senior sister over. Faxiang Fahui will be at such a level.
The three senior sisters discussed for a long time, and the seventh senior sister in the middle also participated, not more out of curiosity. The disciples of Chonghua's sect were all friendly, and the three senior sisters did not ignore Hua Zifang and Lu Ping because of their identities as Daoist alchemists. , from time to time also asked the meaning of the two.
The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally decided on two congratulatory gifts, one was five ordinary spirit grasses three thousand years old;
The fourth senior sister Wang Xuanjing said helplessly: "Although these two gifts are good, but on the day of the Faxiang Conference, there are not a few similar gifts. My Chonghua lineage and Xiaoyao lineage are in the same spirit. If the gifts are given to everyone, it is impossible to say Let someone with a heart spread some words."
Seventh Senior Sisters Hua Zifang and Lu Ping were staring at these congratulatory gifts, but they also knew that this was because they had not yet reached the alchemy level, and their background and knowledge could not be compared with those of the three Senior Sisters.
Lu Ping thought for a while, took out the remaining six golden nuts from the jade box, and said, "Four senior sisters, can this be a congratulatory gift?"
The third senior sister Zhao Xuanji looked at the golden fruit in the box, her eyes lit up, and she asked with some uncertainty: "Could this be a golden nut that can be used to increase physical strength?"
"It's just golden nuts. I was lucky enough to get a few nuts from the Seven Stars Heaven. A few days ago, I handed in a few nuts to the sect, and I also gave six to the teacher. Since the teacher gave them all, naturally the teacher will also give them to me. What's more, my younger brother has been taken care of by the master several times." Lu Ping explained to the third senior sister with a smile.
Li Xuanru looked at Lu Ping's golden nuts, nodded slightly and said: "Although the value of golden nuts is not as high as the three thousand-year-old spirit grass, it is a rare object, and it is enough to be used as a congratulatory gift for the master. I want to have these three congratulatory gifts. The Hua family will not lose face to the teacher at the Falun Dafa conference."
The fourth senior sister Wang Xuanjing is used to teasing Lu Ping, seeing Lu Ping take out the treasure, she smiled and said: "No wonder there are rumors that the younger brother got a big advantage, and even some gossips in the sect say that the ninth junior brother is a 'Treasure Boy', so it is not groundless."
Lu Ping knew that the fourth senior sister was reminding himself, thinking that the teacher once said that some people in the sect were jealous of what he got in Qixingtian, he was naturally grateful, but he still said: "'Duobao boy' has passed, Thinking about it, those people should also know that my younger brother has already handed over the harvest from Qixingtian to the sect, and there is not much left in their hands."
The Seventh Senior Sister also understood the reason of the matter, she defended Lu Ping and said: "These people just don't like others."
After coming out from the Second Senior Sister, Lu Ping stopped by to visit Master Liu Xuanling at the Chonghua Mansion to ask some questions about cultivation, especially since Lu Ping was about to start refining his natal magic weapon, the Twelve Yuan Chenzhu, so naturally he didn't dare to have the slightest idea main idea.
Unexpectedly, Reverend Liu Xuanling was not in Chonghua Mansion, not even in Tianling Mountain. When he asked the servant girl who was in charge of the mansion, he didn't know what to ask. All he knew was that Reverend Liu Xuanling suddenly snorted coldly yesterday morning, shaking the training room. After trembling, he left the Chonghua mansion with a gloomy face, and disappeared.
Lu Ping was suspicious, but the things that could make Zhenren Liu angry were not something he could handle now, but the teacher didn't inform the three senior sisters of the alchemy stage before he left, so it wasn't a tricky thing to think about.
Lu Ping, who had just returned to Huangli Island, immediately asked Fang Tao whether Liu Ziyuan and others had returned, but learned that the six monks from Huangli Island who went to sea did not return at the same time, but returned scatteredly, and everyone was tired. Some of them were even wounded, but there was no news of Liu Ziyuan's No. 1 Sea Patrol Brigade.
Lu Ping was startled, and immediately went to the meeting hall on the island.
When he arrived at the conference hall, Lu Ping received a news that made him shocked and angry: on the way back, the six sea patrol brigades of Huangli Island were attacked by alchemy masters in the buffer sea area. Immortal Yang Xuanmu was seriously injured, and then many monsters suddenly appeared. The Huangli Island Sea Patrol Brigade was forced to disperse to break through, and the No. 1 Sea Patrol Brigade disappeared.
