For the past few days, cultivators from various major forces and even those in the market have been discussing the matter of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon.
In the coming days, cultivators continued to venture to the Red Rock Islands to uncover the truth, personally visiting the lair of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon and discovering remnants of battle there.
The demon beasts that originally occupied this place had been slaughtered by eighty to ninety percent.
The entire island and the surrounding sea were filled with the floating corpses of demon beasts, the expanse of water still blood-red.
As for the Demon Soul Array on the island, it had been violently destroyed and posed no further threat.
The entire island was now lifeless, with only a very few demon beasts surviving, frantically escaping into the sea.
These scenes all bore witness to the large-scale battle that erupted here.
Lu Ping didn’t pay attention to the current reaction of the Profound Yang Sect, preparing to head to the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars to find a market, rent a cave mansion, and begin refining his lifebound spiritual treasure, the Infinite Celestial Fire Map.
Flying over the sea, Lu Ping landed in a market called Nanhe Market, near the central region of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.
The Profound Yang Sect, after all, is the top sect in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, with a vast network of informants and intelligence capabilities. It quickly learned of Lu Ping’s presence as soon as he arrived at Nanhe Market.
Nanhe Market is a market under the Profound Yang Sect, established for over five hundred years, with two Golden Core Cultivators stationed there year-round.
When Lu Ping entered this Nanhe Market, renting a cave mansion at a comrce association.
The shopkeeper Hou Haixia recognized Lu Ping at a glance from the portrait previously provided by Li Kahe.
Thus, she secretly reported this information to the Profound Yang Sect at the first opportunity.
anwhile, under Hou Haixia’s hospitality, Lu Ping quickly selected a high-tier cave mansion.
This was a Tier Five Cave Mansion, the best in Nanhe Market.
For Lu Ping, the Tier Five level of spiritual qi wasn’t for cultivation but simply a place to settle, using the spirit vein’s spiritual qi to refine artifacts.
To refine this Infinite Celestial Fire Map, two materials are needed in total.
One is the fur of a Tier Six demon beast, and with the pelt of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon now in hand, it’s more than sufficient.
The second material is a fire attribute spiritual object at Tier Six.
This level of material is exceedingly rare, even in Lingxi State or the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.
Fortunately, Lu Ping had the Red Bright Nine Heavens Fla of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire on him, and its tier had already reached Tier Eight, enough to spare a wisp for artifact refining.
According to the Infinite Celestial Fire Immortal Technique’s records, the refining of the Infinite Celestial Fire Map is expected to take about ten years.
Before preparing for secluded cultivation, Lu Ping reinforced restrictions around the cave mansion, preventing any disturbances.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw three figures approaching on a flying ship outside the cave mansion.
"Senior, Senior!"
On the flying ship, an elderly man with white hair and beard saw Lu Ping and quickly shouted with a smile.
Lu Ping looked aside, watching as the flying ship landed before him, and the leading elder respectfully saluted.
"Junior Xu Deliang of the Eighth Elder of Profound Yang Sect, greets Senior."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two people behind him also stepped off the flying ship, displaying respectful expressions and spoke one after another.
"Junior Li Kahe of the Hongfu Comrce Association, greets Senior."
"Junior Zhang Dehai, Tenth Elder of the Profound Yang Sect, greets Senior."
Among the three, two were elders of the Profound Yang Sect.
The other was Li Kahe, whom I had t once before.
The fact that these three were able to find this place indicated that they had learned of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s demise and that the Profound Yang Sect already knew my appearance.
It was evident that the Hongfu Comrce Association did report this matter.
This Nanhe Market also belongs to the Profound Yang Sect, so it’s no surprise that my presence under their noses was discovered.
Understanding the situation, Lu Ping remained silent, casting a calm glance at Xu Deliang and the others.
Thinking Lu Ping was difficult to talk to, Xu Deliang smiled smoothly and said.
"Senior, your defeat of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon has truly rendered a great service to our Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, and it is truly a blessing to have you visit us."
While speaking, Xu Deliang turned to glance at Li Kahe, who then perceptively presented a storage bag.
"Senior, there is a reward of one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones for defeating the Dark Demon Flood Dragon. Your triumphant success in achieving such a great feat warrants this reward. Please accept it."
"Please kindly accept it, Senior."
Xu Deliang followed up.
When the Hongfu Comrce Association sought intelligence on Tier Six demon beasts, Lu Ping did see that each one had a significant reward for successful elimination.
The reward for the Dark Demon Flood Dragon amounted to one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones.
Moreover, the materials obtained from killing the demon beasts could be freely taken by those who delivered the fatal blow.
This reward was issued by the Profound Yang Sect, with the Hongfu Comrce Association promoting it externally.
This ti, Lu Ping’s decisive action wiped out the huge threat of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, effectively removing a thorn in the side of the Profound Yang Sect.
Whether out of gratitude, seeking to win him over, or fulfilling the reward promise to maintain the sect’s reputation, this reward needed to be paid.
The present visit, led by two elders of the Profound Yang Sect, was intended to demonstrate the sect’s sincerity in winning over Lu Ping.
Lu Ping accepted the storage bag without hesitation or concern about deception, knowing he could easily eliminate the three of them with just a glance.
Upon discreetly probing with his divine sense, Lu Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The storage bag was Tier Four Top-Grade, with a storage space of thirty thousand cubic ters, which was not surprising.
The surprising part was that the bag contained not only one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones but also nurous high-tier refining materials and Tier Four, Tier Five spirit dicines.
Among these materials and spirit dicines, Lu Ping, with a re glance, recognized so extrely rare and valuable items.
For instance, Tier Four Middle Grade Ore Celestial Fire Red Gold and Tier Four Top-Grade Seven-Colored Reishi.
The forr is a precious material for refining Tier Four and Tier Five fire attribute magical artifacts, while the latter is a holy dicine capable of healing cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Stage.
In addition to other resources, the total value exceeded one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones.
The resources in this storage bag valued over three million spirit stones.
"This Profound Yang Sect intends to win over."
Lu Ping imdiately understood their intent.
However, taking benefits without rit is unacceptable; the reward of one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones can be rightfully accepted as it is deserved.
But accepting these other resources would not be proper.
Noticing Lu Ping’s expression, which surely implied he understood their intentions, Xu Deliang smiled again and spoke directly, "As you have seen, the reason for our unannounced visit is twofold: firstly, to deliver the reward, and secondly, to win you over, Senior."
