Yan Hengchuan suddenly had a bold guess in his mind, and when he saw his grandmaster's smiling face again, his guess was mostly confirmed.
Immediately, he stood up with a look of surprise mixed with uncertainty, and excitedly shouted, "Could it be that you, Grandmaster, have formed your Golden Core?"
Yu Peiling, who was standing to the side, looked at Li Ping, who was sitting at the head of the table, with disbelief when she heard her Daoist partner's excited shouts.
A Core Formation cultivator, with a lifespan of five hundred years, can be called a True Person. They are the top combat force in the Western Wilderness cultivation world and can easily occupy a country as their Daoist temple.
Just like the Jiang Kingdom they live in, whose ruler is the Jiang family, a family of cultivators.
The reason why the Jiang family was able to dominate the country was because the Jiang family's Supreme Elder was a Core Formation True Person.
One person can suppress the entire cultivation world of an entire nation!
If my grandmaster also becomes a Core Formation cultivator, wouldn't that mean...?
They couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild, but until Li Ping confirmed it with his own words, they couldn't be sure whether their guesses were true or false.
But the next moment, to their expectant gazes, Li Ping smiled and nodded: "I have indeed broken through to the Core Formation realm."
Upon hearing this, Yan Hengchuan and his wife's eyes lit up.
"That's great!" Yan Hengchuan couldn't help but shout with delight.
Immediately, the couple congratulated Li Ping, saying, "Congratulations, Grandmaster, on achieving the Golden Elixir! You have a bright future ahead!"
"Hehe, get up." Li Ping smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be so polite.
The two readily stood up: "Yes, Grandmaster!"
With the good news of Li Ping becoming a Core Formation True Person preceding them, the main hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere during the ensuing casual conversation.
Finally, Yan Hengchuan tentatively inquired about Li Ping's next plans.
In his view, his master had a close relationship with the Yan and Ji families. If he intended to stay in the Western Wilderness and occupy a place of cultivation, his two families, as close to his master, would surely be able to follow him and thus gain considerable benefits.
When asked about his future plans, Li Ping shook his head, flicked out a soundproof shield with one hand to envelop the hall, and then solemnly said, "What I am about to tell you is a secret. You must not tell anyone else about it."
As Ji Shuchen's lifespan was nearing its end, Li Ping planned to take advantage of the opportunity to open the underground cave in Xiaomei Mountain to reveal its secrets to Yan Hengchuan and his wife.
In fact, he had already formed his core, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to occupy a third-tier spiritual vein with the strength of a core-forming cultivator.
Theoretically speaking, it's okay if the third-order spiritual vein underground in Xiaomei Mountain is exposed.
The key issue is that after Li Ping opens the cave to retrieve the treasure and meets some old acquaintances, he will set off for the Great Zhou.
In the Western Wilderness, no one dared to covet the third-tier spiritual vein.
But once he leaves, the Yan, Ji, and Yu families will definitely not be able to defend the third-tier spiritual vein, and if they try to defend it, they will be in danger of being wiped out.
Therefore, he hoped that Yan Hengchuan and his wife would keep the secret until the three families had cultivated a Core Formation cultivator, so that the underground spiritual vein could be openly revealed to the world.
Hearing Li Ping's serious tone, Yan Hengchuan and his wife's expressions immediately turned solemn, and they both nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Grandmaster!"
Li Ping immediately told the two that there was a third-order spiritual vein beneath Xiaomei Mountain.
Amidst their shocked expressions, he then revealed his plan to annihilate the demonic beasts in the icy pool and open the cave.
"I will take the relics from that cave," Li Ping said with a smile, "but the materials from the spiritual vein and the demonic beasts in the icy pool will remain with you."
Originally, these things should have been left to the Yan and Ji families.
However, the Yu family is now inseparable from both families, and since he has a fairly good relationship with the Yu family, it wouldn't hurt to give them a share.
In any case, given that Yan Hengchuan married Yu Peiling, it would be difficult to keep it a secret even if they really wanted to.
After recovering from his shock, Yan Hengchuan pondered Li Ping's words and gradually realized something was amiss: "Give us the spiritual vein? What about your cultivation ground, Grandmaster? Don't you plan to stay in Jiang Kingdom?"
Li Ping nodded, confirming his guess: "After I finish some business in the Western Wilderness, I will head to the Great Zhou, so remember to keep it a secret and do not reveal the secret of the underground spiritual vein, or you will face dire consequences!"
The two nodded and did not try to dissuade them.
They knew that their master's resolve was unwavering, and once he made a decision, no one could change it.
Yu Peiling, in particular, learned about her mother's relationship with her master from her mother over the years.
Knowing that when his master was young, he refused without hesitation the suggestion that his mother, such a beauty, marry into his family.
Afterwards, he risked his life to travel tens of thousands of miles to the Fenglan Immortal City to fight for a chance to establish his foundation.
If the Grandmaster's heart was so firm in seeking the Dao when he was young, now that he has lived for so many years, there is probably nothing in this world that can stop him.
A strange thought suddenly popped into Yu Peiling's mind.
If my mother had disregarded everything and left the family to follow my grandmaster to Fenglan Immortal City, would her life have been different? A good title is hard to come up with. Read the masterpiece "Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation" now!
She knew that her mother had always had a regret before she passed away.
Now that her grandmaster was in person, she decided to ask the question on behalf of her mother: "Grandmaster, Peiling has something she would like to ask you."
Li Ping looked at her with a puzzled expression before smiling and asking, "What is it?"
Yu Peiling mustered her courage and looked at Li Ping with a determined gaze: "Grandmaster, I want to know, if my mother had gone to Fenglan Immortal City with you ninety years ago, would the outcome have been different?"
"Will things be different?"
Li Ping gave Yu Peiling a strange look.
He knew that shortly after Yu Peiling was born, her father died in a conflict, leaving her and her child as orphans and widows.
At that time, Yu Peiling was just learning to speak, so she had little impression of her father and didn't have much affection for him.
But asking such a question at this moment still left Li Ping speechless.
Does your father know about this?
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "I don't know either, maybe it will be different."
Yu Peiling was not satisfied with Li Ping's answer. She hoped to hear regret, nostalgia, and desolation from him...
But now, she heard nothing but Li Ping's indifference, as if her mother were just an insignificant passerby in his life, even though her mother had always held a grudge.
A sense of resentment rose within her, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference?"
Sensing that something was wrong with her mood, Yan Hengchuan quickly pulled her aside and explained to Li Ping, "Grandmaster, Pei Ling's mother passed away more than 20 years ago, and Pei Ling has been in a bad mood all these years. I hope you won't blame her."
Li Ping smiled and shook his head without saying a word; he wasn't about to argue with a junior.
In fact, ninety years ago, if Yu Xuewei had really abandoned her family and gone to the Immortal City with him to fight for her foundation, he would have done his best to help her achieve foundation building after he reached it.
Even if she has five spiritual roots, even if it delays her own cultivation.
They will become a couple and perhaps even have children.
In his heart, Yu Xuewei was different from Bai Lin and Xiao Yunzhi.
However, she ultimately chose her family over Li Ping.
Li Ping respected her choice.
But similarly, he himself will never look back and try to find those lost beauties.
It's best to keep everything in our memories; if we actually dig it out, we'll find that it's already lost its original flavor.
……
On the day.
Guided by Yan Hengchuan and his wife, Li Ping went to pay respects to his deceased friend.
He then flew towards Xiaomei Mountain with Yan Hengchuan, while Yu Peiling stayed behind at Bifeng Lake to guard the home.
In the flying boat, Yan Hengchuan stopped talking.
Li Ping glanced at him: "Is there anything you need to hide from me? Speak, what is it?"
"Actually, it was from Fenglan Immortal City..." Yan Hengchuan carefully organized his words: "It was about forty years after you, Grandmaster, disappeared, which is about thirty years ago. Three people who claimed to be cultivators from the Li family of Wuyun Pool came to visit me and brought me gifts."
"The Li family of Wuyuntan?" Li Ping frowned slightly.
He remembered that Wuyuntan seemed to be a second-tier spiritual land that the Bai family had seized from other families during the Bai family's heyday.
In other words, Wuyuntan should belong to the Bai family.
What's going on with the Li family?
Yan Hengchuan observed Li Ping's expression before cautiously saying, "Yes, the Li family of Wuyuntan, and those three said their father is you, Grandmaster."
Upon hearing this, Li Ping was taken aback.
Where did he get his children?
And there were three of them at once.
Who exactly is spreading these false rumors about him?
However, he quickly realized that since the three people claimed to be from the Li family of Wuyuntan, and Wuyuntan was the spiritual vein of the Bai family, this matter must be related to the Bai family.
Seeing the change in Li Ping's expression, Yan Hengchuan quickly explained, "I was quite surprised by this at the time. After some detailed questioning, I learned that the three cultivators were actually originally from the Bai family. However, under the influence of their elders, they voluntarily changed their surname to Li. And their elder was none other than your concubine, Senior Bai Lin."
Then, he simply told them everything he knew: "I heard them say that after you disappeared, Senior Bailin was depressed all day long. Later, she adopted some orphans and raised them in Wuyuntan, changed their surname to Li, and told others that they were your children and that she planned to leave her inheritance to those orphans."
"The Bai family cultivators were very dissatisfied with this, but because Senior Bai Lin's younger brother was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they dared not speak out even if they were dissatisfied. In the end, in order to compete for Senior Bai Lin's inheritance, some Bai family cultivators took the initiative to adopt their offspring with spiritual roots to Senior Bai Lin, and let them change their surname to Li."
……
As Yan Hengchuan narrated, he observed the changes in his master's expression.
He remained silent for a long time upon seeing his master, but in the end he could only let out a sigh.
