Chapter 301: Golden House Spatial Mystic Instrument

After they left, Lu Ping quickly sprung into action and cast a few spells. He didn't care about the heavy consumption of his true energy and quickly opened a hole in the ground.

After Dabao scampered out of the hole, Lu Ping kept him in the spirit pet pouch, and quickly fled from the area.

A few moments later, several cultivators with long swords arrived in a hurry. They looked around and quickly pieced things together, bursting into laughter. Suddenly, they stopped laughing, and looked back.

Behind them, more than a dozen Crystal Palace cultivators had arrived. After glaring at the Sky Cleaving Sword Sect cultivators, they couldn't stand their gloating expressions so they quickly left to chase after the previous Crystal Palace Enlightened Masters.

Soon after, the Sky Cleaving Sword Sect cultivators also left. Other cultivators also arrived at the scene one after another, discussing who would be daring enough to kill the Crystal Palace Enlightened Masters and snatch their harvests.

At this time, Lu Ping had arrived at a deserted place. He cast a few hand signs and activated the dojo's array formation, creating a dome of light around him. Then, he summoned Dabao.

After seeing that Dabao was healthy and unaffected by Chu Ting's medicinal pellet, he breathed out a sigh of relief. Dabao squeaked a few times and spit out a Spirit Gathering Pearl half the size of a fist, the same one that the pangolin monster owned.

Lu Ping was happy, and said, "How unexpected, this is enough to breed a small spirit vein!"

Dabao squeaked excitedly after being praised. Then, Dabao spat out a small golden house from his mouth while Lu Ping watched on in confusion.

"This is?"

Could this be the spatial magic weapon that was hidden in the spirit vein by Great Ancestor Chong Xuan?

Lu Ping's facial expressions changed several times. He sent his true energy into the golden house to try and refine it, but unexpectedly, the golden house was akin to a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled.

Lu Ping was stunned. This golden house wasn't a mystic treasure, but its quality was definitely above the Tome of Thousand Millets, giving him the feeling that he was refining the River Inclusion Cauldron. In other words, he wouldn't be able to refine it in a short time.

Hence, Lu Ping decided to stop as now was not a good time to refine it. He placed the golden house into his interspatial ring, and then walked towards the Chong Xuan Main Hall, blending in with the other cultivators that were still wandering around in the main hall.

Most of the structures in the dojo had been broken by force by cultivators scavenging for the treasures inside. The only exceptions were the three most important places, the smith room, the storage vault, and the main hall, which had been looted by Crystal Palace and Sky Cleaving Sword Sect.

However, after most of the structures had been plundered, what followed were battles between cultivators overcome with greed. Inside the main hall, there were cultivators roaming around, searching and fighting for hidden treasures.

Lu Ping looked at the damage the cultivators had inflicted on the hall, and wondered how it hadn't collapsed. Suddenly, he saw the glimmering seal marks on the pillars and walls, and immediately understood something.

Thanks to the mysterious jade scroll from Fei Ling Sect that taught him about the sect's seals, he could understand the meaning behind those glimmering seals. Lu Ping quickly rushed to the dojo's exit. After seeing that many cultivators were still inside, with more about to enter, he hurriedly cast a voice amplification spell, and shouted, "Leave the dojo, it's going to collapse!"

The cultivators in the dojo all were shocked. They immediately looked up and saw that the dojo's protective light dome was still holding out well, with no sign of collapse.

When they saw that the cultivator who had issued the warning was just a First Layer Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master, they all mocked him and cursed.

"Just a kid, what does he know?"

"The formation set up by Great Ancestor Chong Xuan is not that easy to break."

"This kid is just trying to scare us all away and then come back to take advantage of the situation."

"Get lost, or you will stay here forever"

......

Lu Ping ignored them and continued to leave the dojo, he didn't have time to stop and explain himself, since he was fleeing for his life. He had already shown them kindness by warning them of the imminent danger, there was also nothing else he could do.

However, there were also some people who listened and followed him out. Some cultivators had hesitated after seeing Lu Ping's reaction, but after realizing that there wasn't much left in the dojo, they also decided to leave.

After Lu Ping left the dojo and made it back to the sea, he looked back and discovered that less than half of the cultivators had followed him out, causing him to sigh before continuing onwards to the sea surface.

In fact, the dojo was only a few thousand feet deep so the water pressure was bearable for Enlightened Masters when they were prepared for it. But when the dojo's array formation collapsed, the protective light dome broke in an instant causing an immense instantaneous pressure force that could kill even Late Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters.

A few seconds after Lu Ping made it to the sea surface, he heard a muffled rumbling noise from the water below him. The calm sea surface suddenly sank a massive whirlpool and caused huge waves that washed away a reef island not far away.

The cultivators who had listened to his warning and followed him out, looked at the scene with pale faces and lingering fear in their eyes. Lu Ping glanced at them indifferently, and then turned into a stream of water, disappearing into the sea.

Soon after Lu Ping left, more than a dozen Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters scampered out of the seawater in tatters. Half of them were in the Late Core Forging Realm, with the other half being Mid Core Forging Realm cultivators that were half a step into the Late Core Forging Realm.

They were all in a bad state, covered in blood and injuries. Their defensive mystic instruments and mystic treasures were broken and damaged. Some of them were even breathing very weakly, appearing severely wounded.

...

Lu Ping dived back into the sea and found an underwater cave to hide in. The original cave owner had been a Blood Refining Realm monster that the snake trio ate as a snack. Right now, Dagui was guarding the cave entrance, Lu Qin and Dabao were in the spirit pet pouch since they didn't like water, while the snake trio had disappeared in the sea to play amongst themselves.

Lu Ping was currently at the final step of successfully refining the golden house. He had been slightly disappointed after discovering that the golden house was only a spatial mystic instrument; he had hoped that it would be a spatial mystic treasure.

However, when he had tried to refine it and found that it was even harder to refine than the River Inclusion Cauldron, he realized that it might be more valuable than he initially thought.

A moment later, the golden house suddenly glowed brightly in his hand. The refinement was finally completed, causing Lu Ping to let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Ping threw the golden house onto the ground, causing it to enlarge into a 30-feet cube-sized house. He smiled, and entered through the door.

The space inside the golden house was much larger than the Tome of Thousand Millets. There was a huge spirit herb garden that had been unattended for 4,000 years. Grasses had grown all over the place, but the spirit herbs in the garden had all matured and were very potent.

Lu Ping was overjoyed. These spirit herbs were ready to be harvested, so he cleared the grasses and harvested the spirit herbs that he needed, leaving the rest to continue growing in the garden.

As a Master Alchemist, Lu Ping only had a few Core Forging Realm pellet recipes. Hence, he could only look at the rest of the spirit herbs and let them be.

Suddenly, Lu Ping remembered the Heart Forging Pellets. Thanks to the spirit herbs in the golden house, he had finally gathered all the 1000-year spirit herbs that he needed. He also already had two of the three 3000-year spirit herbs, with the last missing piece being the Yin Yang Branch.

If Great Ancestor Chong Xuan had planted a Yin Yang Branch in this spirit herb garden, it would have matured a long time ago. However, when he was harvesting the spirit herbs just now, he didn't find any. Even after another round of searching, he still couldn't find it.

While Lu Ping was disappointed, he looked up and saw a thousand-foot tall mountain at the other end of the garden. He couldn't help but wonder, the golden house was only a spatial mystic instrument, but its spatial dimension was far too big, almost as large as spatial mystic treasure. However, he was sure that it wasn't a spatial mystic treasure as it didn't have any spatial Mystical Inscription.

Lu Ping decided to walk towards the mountain. Although the mountain looked far away, it only took him a few seconds to reach it. He saw a place sealed by an array formation, but the seals from Fei Ling Sect were almost useless against him.

Even though he hadn't encountered this sealing formation before, he still knew how to open it. After casting a few hand signs, the sealing formation was deactivated, and he saw a small spirit herb garden in front of him.

In this small spirit herb garden, there were 96 pieces of matured 3,000-year spirit herbs, and another 200 that were nearing maturity. This amount of spirit herbs could drive any Great Ancestors wild, making them come and harvest the spirit herbs themselves!

What is this?

Lu Ping carefully moved around and saw a weird-looking spirit herb. Half of the spirit herb looked withered and hideous, while the other half was filled with vitality.

This was the Yin Yang Branch he had been looking for!

Lu Ping couldn't contain his joy, especially after he found another Yin Yang Branch soon after.

He carefully harvested the two Yin Yang Branches, packed them in the jade box he had prepared, and sealed them with the spirit sealing charms. The spirit herbs needed to concoct the Heart Forging Pellets were finally ready, all that was lacking was Lu Ping's cultivation level and alchemy.

As long as Lu Ping was able to raise his cultivation to the Second Layer Core Forging Realm and consolidate it, he could immediately consume the Heart Forging Pellet to increase his cultivation level to the Third Layer. At that point he could prepare for the breakthrough to the Mid Core Forging Realm!

Lu Ping left the smell spirit garden and reactivated the sealing formation before continuing onwards to the top of the mountain.

In the center of the lonely mountain's summit, a small pond 30-feet in circumference, appeared in Lu Ping's vision.
