Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

Chapter 413 Conflicting Opinions, True and False Information

After listening to Feng Xishuang's explanation.

Li Ping gave her a strange look; he hadn't expected Feng Xishuang to be a template of a chosen one.

After her sect was destroyed, she fled alone, using an ancient teleportation array to escape to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, she has achieved great success in her cultivation, forming her Golden Core, and plans to return to her hometown to seek revenge.

At the same time, he was pondering the specifics of the cultivation world called "Island of Life" that Feng Xishuang had mentioned.

According to Feng Xishuang, the Island of Life is a declining cultivation world. Due to the erosion caused by the desolate land, the spiritual veins of the cultivation world here have been declining in quality over the years, and the spiritual energy has been constantly dissipating.

Long ago, the Island of Life still had fourth-order spiritual veins, capable of giving birth to Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, nowadays, the highest-grade spiritual veins are only at the third level, and cultivators can only cultivate to the early stage of Core Formation before they can no longer break through.

With the strength of three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators in their group, they could practically wreak havoc on the Island of Life.

Overall, the Island of Life is a desolate cultivation world where cultivators can only wait for the desolate land to gradually erode them, without seeing a glimmer of hope.

This is actually much worse than the Western Wilderness and the Far North.

After all, although these two cultivation worlds do not have fourth-order spiritual veins, they have communication and exchanges with the Great Zhou. If one wants to advance further after reaching the late stage of Core Formation, one can go to the Great Zhou to strive for further progress.

However, Li Ping definitely couldn't go to the Island of Life with Feng Xishuang.

It is safe there, but it is not a good place for spiritual practice.

Moreover, he controls the teleportation array between the Western Wilderness and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and can teleport back to the Western Wilderness at any time, so there is no need to go the long way around.

Therefore, in response to Feng Xishuang's invitation, Li Ping simply shook his head: "I have other plans in Da Zhou and cannot go to the Island of Life with you."

Feng Xishuang nodded slightly and did not extend another invitation.

She trusted Master Li completely, even revealing everything about the ancient teleportation array.

She believed that given their relationship, Master Li wouldn't stand on ceremony with her. Since Master Li said he had other plans, then he must really have other plans and wasn't just making excuses.

……

Although Feng Xishuang planned to return to her hometown, for safety reasons, she needed to wait until Wei Yiling woke up before making the trip. For the time being, she would continue to stay in this safe house.

Li Ping also plans to attend an underground auction. He can change his appearance himself, so it would be inconvenient to bring Meng Wanjun along.

Therefore, he planned to have Meng Wanjun stay here with Feng Xishuang for the time being to cultivate, while he would go to the underground auction alone.

After pondering this, Li Ping took out the Spirit Eye Jade from his storage bag and threw it out, causing it to float above the Spirit Spring.

Pure spiritual energy flowed out from the Jade Eye of Spiritual Energy, mixing with the spiritual energy that had dissipated from the original spiritual spring, causing the spiritual energy in this place to gradually increase, and soon reaching a level close to the middle grade of the third rank.

This level of spiritual land is not enough for him and Feng Xishuang, who are mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, to cultivate, but it is enough for him to set up a third-order formation with stronger concealment capabilities.

Several days later, Li Ping set up a new concealment formation, completely hiding the underground spiritual spring.

In this way, unless a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above specifically investigates, it will be impossible to discover the truth of this place.

After doing all this, Li Ping instructed Meng Wanjun to stay here and cultivate before leaving alone, transforming into Yan Buping and heading towards the East Sea.

After attending the underground auction, he planned to return to the Western Wilderness for a while.

After all, the reason he rushed to the Great Zhou in the early stages of Core Formation was mainly to find three spiritual materials, including the Supreme Yang Wood, in order to break through the third stage of Body Refinement and activate the "Golden Eye of Illusion" divine power.

Now he has not only accomplished this, but has also exceeded expectations by achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation as well.

Then it seems there's no need for him to stay in the Great Zhou any longer.

Anyway, he has a teleportation array, which makes it very convenient for him to travel between the Western Wilderness and the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unlike others who have to cross the vast ocean and waste time, it wouldn't hurt for him to return to the Western Wilderness to cultivate for a while.

So, taking advantage of this free time, he planned to go to the East Sea to find a high-grade third-tier spiritual vein as nourishment, and then inherit the high-grade third-tier array technique he possessed.

Third-grade high-quality spiritual veins are not uncommon in the East Sea, but they are very precious in the Western Wilderness, and finding one is not easy.

The only thing that Li Ping found somewhat regrettable was that the alchemy furnace stored with Chao Xuan would probably be difficult to obtain in the short term.

Without higher-level alchemy skills, he will be unable to break through to the late stage of Core Formation after reaching the peak bottleneck of the mid-stage Core Formation.

However, given his cultivation speed, that would be at least a hundred years from now, so there's no need to rush.

……

When heading to the East Sea, Li Ping did not use the Bloodwing Escape Technique to travel as before, but instead drove the flying boat forward at a leisurely pace.

Before leaving the city, he had planned to find a place with abundant yin energy to bury the two bronze corpses in his hands and keep them alive.

But now that we know just how much trouble Wei and Feng have caused, to the point that even he is being forced to run away, there is naturally no need to do anything unnecessary.

Anyway, he'll have to return to the Western Wilderness in six or seven years; we'll talk about raising corpses then.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the majestic Lingxiao City reappeared in Li Ping's sight. He entered the city with ease, posing as a rogue cultivator named Yan Buping.

He then flew directly to the black market.

The Datong Society has committed countless evil deeds, putting him in danger, and he has no intention of keeping their secret.

Therefore, he wanted to spread the word through the black market that "the mastermind behind the killing of Guan Qianzai was the Datong Society," so that the Confucian scholars would avenge him severely.

……

The third floor of the Shadow Killer Tower.

The snake-faced masked cultivator looked at Li Ping, his tone slightly strange: "You said you have information about killing Guan Qianzai?"

Li Ping felt something was off about his tone. He had originally thought this information was top secret, but the person in front of him seemed indifferent.

Since he was already there, Li Ping nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Not bad."

The snake-faced masked cultivator shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, do you know how many similar intelligence reports this building has received in the past ten days or so? There are over a hundred reports, and the perpetrators are all kinds of people, involving almost all the forces in the Great Zhou, including Nascent Soul level forces such as Lingxiao City. Moreover, every piece of intelligence has been analyzed in great detail."

Li Ping: "..."

Upon hearing the snake-faced masked monk's words, he instantly guessed the reason.

It is estimated that the Datong Society did not find the bodies of Wei and Feng, and it is uncertain whether the silencing was successful.

So they deliberately released a lot of false information to confuse the public and cover up the truth.

This tactic is somewhat similar to the public relations methods he used in his previous life to suppress public attention.

In this situation, Li Ping wanted the Confucian scholars to deal with the Datong Society, but one piece of intelligence was not enough.

Unless Wei and Feng personally testify and are willing to cooperate with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Confucian sect in searching their souls.

But that's impossible; they wouldn't risk their lives just to vent their anger.

"Fellow Daoist, are you still going to sell information?" The snake-faced masked cultivator looked at Li Ping.

Li Ping shook his head slightly: "Never mind, I guess my intelligence report was fake too."
