In the capital of the Big Dipper Empire, every inch of land is precious. Even the most remote small shop is extremely expensive, let alone a grand mansion occupying a hundred acres in the central area of the Big Dipper Empire.
A mansion like this would cost at least hundreds of millions.
And that's in High-grade Spirit Stones.
The mansion is protected by a grand formation and restrictions set by Su Xiu. Without a token, even a peak late True God expert wouldn't be able to open it.
Although these restrictions were like nothing to Lu Yiping, he still took out Su Mei's token and opened the mansion's restrictions before walking in with everyone.
As they entered the mansion, the Spiritual Energy was palpable.
Song Ning and the others discovered that the pillars in the mansion were all made of rare Golden Nanmu Spiritual Wood.
The stone bricks paving the ground were all Star Stones.
In the courtyard, greenery flourished, and myriad flowers exuded fragrance.
Even the plants and flowers were all rare varieties.
The pond was filled with Nine Yang Spiritual Water.
The Nine Yang Spiritual Water, permeated with wisps of Nine Yang energy, made one feel warm all over while staying in the mansion.
Behind the mansion, there was a large garden where the spiritual herbs planted were at least fifty thousand years old.
The value of these spiritual herbs alone was higher than the mansion itself.
Song Ning and the experts from the Thunder Sparrow Sword Sect were filled with admiration.
Lu Peng and his son Lu Xiaoyu felt as if they had entered a celestial palace.
Lu Yiping's expression was calm. The divine medicines in his Sacred Forest, even the most inferior ones, were tens of thousands of times better than those here.
Afterward, Lu Yiping instructed Song Ning and the others to choose rooms and settle down.
There were many rooms in the mansion, nearly a hundred. With over forty people from the Thunder Crest Sword Sect present, there were more than enough rooms.
Just as Lu Yiping and his group were settling into Su Xiu's mansion, in the imperial palace of the Big Dipper Empire, the Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian, clad in a nine-dragon golden robe and exuding an invisible pressure, listened to the report from his general, Chen Yuan, his eyes flickering.
After Chen Yuan finished his report, Zhou Ding Tian mused, "What do you think the relationship is between this young man and the ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Su Xiu? Could he be Su Xiu's personal disciple?"
Chen Yuan quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I cannot say for sure. Since the young man has Su Xiu's token, his relationship with Su Xiu must be quite close. Even if he isn't Su Xiu's disciple, he should at least be a junior."
"As for his relationship with the Thunder Sword Sect, I have already investigated. He was the one who drew the Crimson Flame Sword a while ago."
Zhou Ding Tian was surprised, "Oh, he drew the Crimson Flame Sword?"
Many geniuses from various empires on the Divine Martial Continent had tried to draw this Crimson Flame Sword, but none had succeeded.
"Yes, and I also found that when the Sword Demon Xi Lai was killed, he was coincidentally at the Thunder Sparrow Sword Sect," Chen Yuan added.
Zhou Ding Tian was surprised again, "Are you implying that the Sword Demon Xi Lai was likely killed by the four guards accompanying him?"
"Your subordinate infers that this is likely the case," Chen Yuan replied respectfully.
Zhou Ding Tian pondered, "Those four guards, capable of killing the Sword Demon Xi Lai, must possess strength not inferior to the God Realm? Could they have been sent by Su Xiu to protect him?"
Night fell, the moonlight like water.
Lu Yiping sat cross-legged in his room in the mansion, circulating the Longevity Art.
The Longevity Art has a total of forty-nine layers.
It is a cultivation technique recorded in the Jade Disc of Creation.
After emerging from the Sacred Forest, he had already broken through to the forty-ninth layer.
As the forty-ninth layer of the Longevity Art circulated, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and wisps of auspicious energy descended from the void.
Above Lu Yiping's head, a colorful cloud of auspicious energy appeared, and on top of it, something was held! It was a small, jade-colored disc!
This was the Primordial Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, though not complete, but a small fragment.
Around Lu Yiping's body, various Great Daos continuously intertwined, emitting profound and mysterious Dao light. These Daos included the Dao of Life and Death, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Five Elements, and even the Dao of Reincarnation!
There were a total of one thousand Great Daos!
In ancient times, the Lord of All Gods had only cultivated ninety-nine Great Daos.
Lu Yiping, however, now possessed over a thousand Great Daos.
Of course, their strengths could not be calculated by a mere tenfold difference.
The next day.
Lu Yiping stopped cultivating the Longevity Art.
The colorful cloud of auspicious energy above his head dissipated, and the Jade Disc of Creation landed in his hand.
"I wonder where the other fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are," Lu Yiping mused, looking at the small fragment in his hand.
The complete Jade Disc of Creation consists of twenty-four fragments, recording three thousand Great Daos. This small fragment he held was the most central and important piece among the twenty-four, recording one thousand Great Daos.
Furthermore, it contained the complete one thousand Great Daos and the cultivation technique of the Longevity Art.
Just then, a knock came from the door.
Lu Yiping put the Jade Disc of Creation into his body and said, "Come in."
Song Ning pushed the door open and entered, walking cautiously to Lu Yiping. He respectfully said, "Young Master, I've inquired with my friend, the deacon from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild. He said their guild will be holding an auction next month, and one Dark Moon Godhead will be auctioned."
A Dark Moon Godhead, while not a Supreme Godhead of level fourteen, was still a level eleven Godhead.
"When next month?" Lu Yiping asked. "Is there only one?"
"The first of next month is the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, so the auction is scheduled for the second of next month," Song Ning quickly replied. "There's only one. I've already asked him to help me inquire about another Godhead, but Godheads are rarely put up for auction."
Lu Yiping nodded, glanced at Song Ning, and took a Golden Core from the Qiankun Cauldron to give to Song Ning. "You've handled this well."
Song Ning took the Golden Core and, smelling the astonishing medicinal fragrance emanating from it, stammered, "Divine Spirit Golden Core!" Then, he asked Lu Yiping in disbelief, "Young Master, this, is this for me?"
Lu Yiping chuckled. "Of course, it's for you. Do you think it's for me?" He then laughed again. "It's just a Divine Spirit Golden Core. Get up."
Hearing that Lu Yiping was truly bestowing this Divine Spirit Golden Core upon him, Song Ning trembled with excitement and bowed deeply to Lu Yiping. "Song Ning thanks Young Master for the bestowed pill!"
"Song Ning will never forget Young Master's great kindness!"
Lu Yiping smiled faintly at his words, not paying them much mind. He let Song Ning rise, and then Song Ning left the room.
"Master, a general from the Big Dipper Empire is here to see you. It's the same one from yesterday. He says he's here on the orders of the Big Dipper Great Emperor," Zhao Wen said respectfully as he approached.
"Oh, here on the orders of the Big Dipper Great Emperor." Lu Yiping pondered for a moment. "Let him in. Bring him to the main hall."
Zhao Wen respectfully acknowledged, then withdrew.
"Young Master, could the Big Dipper Great Emperor be sending someone over because of what happened yesterday?" Song Ning asked nervously.
"It shouldn't be," Lu Yiping replied.
The two walked towards the main hall. Upon arriving, they saw a middle-aged man in battle armor standing in the hall. It was the same general from yesterday.
