This ancient palace complex, like an imperial palace, is divided into a main hall and various side halls and branch halls of different sizes.
The entire ancient palace complex is primarily in a silver-white color tone.
Lu Ping roughly estimated that the total area of this ancient palace complex is equivalent to the size of Cyan Lotus Mountain.
"This cave mansion of Wu Daoyuan, it’s quite an impressive endeavor. Judging by this setup, he might even be a Crystallization Cultivator."
After observing for a mont, Lu Ping ford this hypothesis.
Who was Wu Daoyuan? Lu Ping had never heard of him.
Perhaps he was an obscure little Loose Cultivator.
Or perhaps, he was a low-key individual, absorbed in cultivation for many years, a high-tier cultivator.
Lu Ping wasn’t interested in understanding the background of the other party.
However, speaking of this ancient palace complex before him,
building a palace complex of this scale to serve as a cave mansion, crafting it into a grotto heaven blessed land with spiritual Qi to support daily cultivation, is clearly beyond the capability and wealth of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Moreover, the information prompt from the system indicated that Wu Daoyuan was a Loose Cultivator, seemingly not from so Immortal Race major sect, unlikely a second-generation affluent.
Only Crystallization-level cultivators would have the strength to construct such a cave mansion and the resources to invest in this mansion’s construction.
Further above, the construction of a Golden Core Ancestor’s cave mansion is generally like this.
Of course, during his life, Lu Ping did not have high demands for the construction of cave mansions.
He rely built a simple cave mansion at the back of Cyan Lotus Mountain, having facilities like a seclusion chamber, alchemy room, and artifact refining room was enough.
He was accustod to minimalism.
Assuming this, then Wu Daoyuan was at least a Crystallization Stage Cultivator.
In this case, the inheritance left by a Crystallization Stage Cultivator can be considered a treasure for Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators like Xuu Yi.
After contemplating for a mont, Lu Ping moved forward, passing through the main hall’s gate, when he suddenly noticed sothing amiss.
On both sides of the palace entrance stood two ’people.’
More accurately, they were two statues.
These two statues, both clad in bronze armor, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, stood eight feet tall with a mighty appearance.
It wasn’t the appearance that made Lu Ping uneasy, but rather the intense spiritual Qi contained within the bodies of these two statues.
Statues containing spiritual Qi is unusual; clearly, these aren’t placed here rely as gate decorations.
Getting closer and hovering before the statues, Lu Ping frowned imdiately.
These two statues were indeed not re decorations.
As soon as soone or so animal approached, they would imdiately co to life and attack the intruder.
Lu Ping observed that the power of the two statues, despite the passage of ti and the gradual dissipation of spiritual power within, maintained combat strength around the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation level.
It’s a bit tricky.
How strong are Xuu Yi and the others?
Facing one Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator head-on would be manageable.
But now there are two of them suddenly appearing.
After a mont’s hesitation, Lu Ping ultimately decided not to linger.
He was here to ensure that Xuu Yi wouldn’t die needlessly and would do his utmost to ensure his safety.
Let’s first see what’s inside the palace.
Skipping past the statues, entering through the main door, Lu Ping floated into the main hall.
The hall was empty and appeared quite simple.
At the far end, there was a golden throne, with two statues standing on each side.
The statues appeared to be gentle and beautiful won in long, flowing dresses, each holding a bright yellow lantern.
This was a pair of lantern maids, Lu Ping floated over to observe and similarly felt the fluctuation of spiritual power within the two lantern maid statues.
However, their strength was lower than that of the two guards at the main hall entrance, reaching only about Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation level.
What caught Lu Ping’s attention wasn’t these lantern maids.
But rather, on the throne, was a tall and majestic figure sitting there.
The figure had an ordinary appearance, wore a golden crown, and was dressed in luxurious royal robes, resembling so king, exuding a hint of majesty, not to be taken lightly.
Lu Ping did not recognize who it was.
In the Qingli Sea, where the powers are many and varied, mixed with diverse elents, no kingdom ever erged, and no one declared themselves as emperor, so where would the emperor co from?
But looking at the architecture of this ancient palace complex and the attire of the person, isn’t this self-styled as a king?
This person should be Wu Daoyuan.
Although judging from the aura, they had sat down for a long ti, at least two hundred years, nearly dried up, Lu Ping could still deduce their power before death.
Approximately at the early-stage Crystallization level.
A cave mansion left by a Crystallization Stage Cultivator, now Lu Ping was a bit interested.
After a closer look, the storage bag hidden in Wu Daoyuan’s robe quickly caught Lu Ping’s eye.
There were two storage bags, located on both sides of his waist, one on each side.
Lu Ping leaned forward and moved directly to the front of the right-side storage bag, then tried to look inside.
Being in a consciousness body state was indeed remarkable.
The law barrier of the storage bag posed no hindrance to Lu Ping.
The world inside the storage bag, compared to the outside world, was already two independent spaces.
Lu Ping could directly enter.
The view changed before his eyes as Lu Ping entered the storage bag, seeing a circular storage space scene covering about one hundred square ters.
Lu Ping’s attention was caught by dozens of jade boxes.
Since he didn’t have a physical body, he couldn’t open the jade boxes to check, but Lu Ping could bury his face into them to see what was inside.
The next mont, Lu Ping’s posture beca a bit odd.
He directly took a position of lying down and extended his head into the jade boxes, checking them one by one.
The jade boxes contained dicinal herbs.
There were Tier Two and Tier Three levels, all recognized by Lu Ping.
However, owing to the passage of ti, most had lost their spiritual essence and dicinal value, leaving only withered remnants.
Still, a small portion was well-preserved.
Among them, what made Lu Ping’s eyes light up were six Purple Monkey Flowers.
Purple Monkey Flower, one of the four main dicinal ingredients for refining Foundation Establishnt Pill.
In the Cyan Mountain Sect, there was already a Celestial Spirit Fruit Tree, and once Jade Marrow Branch and Golden Lotus are in hand in the future, refining Foundation Establishnt Pill will be possible.
The other dicinal ingredients aside from the four main ones are easy to gather.
The six Purple Monkey Flowers had all reached maturity, and could be preserved for another thirty-four years, more than long enough for the Cyan Mountain Sect to refine Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Assisting Xuu Yi’s treasure hunt this ti, discovering Purple Monkey Flowers made Lu Ping feel it was worthwhile.
Outside the jade boxes, Lu Ping also took note of the remaining items.
There were a few Tier Two level magical artifacts, as well as a Tier Three lower-grade flying sword and a Tier Three lower-grade wing feather spiritual artifact.
There were also elixirs and spirit talismans, the lowest of which being Tier Two level.
As for cultivation techniques, there were over a dozen cultivation technique jade scrolls, but the only one that caught Lu Ping’s attention was a jade scroll with a cultivation technique nad ’Purple Mansion Celestial Strategy.’
