Chapter 940: Chapter 908: Yu Yang City, Cyan Simurgh Lake Li Family

Regarding Wey Yingxu’s call, Lu Ping was quite curious about what the other party intended to do, whether to ask for directions or something else.

"Fellow cultivator, apologies for the intrusion."

Wey Yingxu maneuvered the Flying Dragon Ship to reach Lu Ping.

"What’s the matter?"

Lu Ping responded with a calm expression.

"I am Wey Yingxu from the Wey Family of Pingyao Mountain. This is my granddaughter. We intend to travel to Yu Yang City. I wonder how far Yu Yang City is from here and how we should proceed."

Wey Yingxu introduced himself, revealing that he was here to ask for directions.

"It so happens that the Immortal Race of the Li Clan you’re looking for is right in that Yu Yang City, so you’re on the same path."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s avatar mentioned calmly to Lu Ping that Yu Yang City is still over a hundred thousand miles away from here.

The vastness of the Central Ancestral Realm is comparable to several Outer Seas combined. Given the pace of the grandfather and granddaughter, it would take at least two months to reach Yu Yang City.

"It’s quite amusing that as soon as you arrive, someone asks you for directions, and you aren’t even familiar with the route."

The avatar of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint chuckled.

Hearing this, Lu Ping smiled bitterly, while Shanshan’s voice suddenly came through.

"Master, that little girl has been staring at you. Could it be that she has taken a liking to you?"

Lu Ping subconsciously glanced at Wey Ling’Er, only to see her gaze fixated upon him, as if she had found something intriguing.

"Fellow cultivator, do you know the way to Yu Yang City?"

Seeing Lu Ping not responding and seemingly scrutinizing them with caution, Wey Yingxu asked again.

Lu Ping withdrew his gaze from Wey Ling’Er, looked at Wey Yingxu, and casually described the route to Yu Yang City.

Upon learning the direction and how to proceed to Yu Yang City, Wey Yingxu smiled slightly and cupped his hands to Lu Ping.

"Thank you, fellow cultivator."

After speaking, he noticed that Lu Ping seemed to be alone and did not resemble a local cultivator, likely being an outsider, and couldn’t help but inquire.

"May I ask where the fellow cultivator intends to go?"

With this casual question, Lu Ping merely gave him a slight glance and said slowly, "Same as you."

"Is the fellow cultivator also heading to Yu Yang City?"

Upon hearing this, Wey Yingxu exchanged a joyful glance with Wey Ling’Er and, after seeing Lu Ping nod, couldn’t help but make a request.

"Fellow cultivator, could you take us along?"

"It is my granddaughter’s and my first time in Central Yunzhou, and we are unfamiliar with the area. If it’s inconvenient for the fellow cultivator, then I’m sorry for the intrusion."

After speaking, Wey Yingxu and Wey Ling’Er stood quietly waiting on the side.

"Since you’re heading to Yu Yang City, bringing them along is acceptable. I observed their cultivation level, one being at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the other at the Qi Refining Stage; they are not demon or evil cultivators."

The voice of the avatar of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint resounded.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping was not initially resistant, feeling some novelty towards the cultivators here, and it was a perfect opportunity to learn more.

"Very well."

Lu Ping nodded in response and made space for them.

"Your flying ship is too slow. Come aboard mine."

Seeing Lu Ping’s invitation, Wey Yingxu was momentarily surprised and exchanged a look with Wey Ling’Er before quickly coming to his senses.

"In that case, we’ll accept your kindness, fellow cultivator."

The grandfather and granddaughter boarded Lu Ping’s flying ship, thus traveling together.

Compared to their Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, Lu Ping’s flying ship was notably faster, capable of covering ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing the rapid speed of the flying ship and carefully noting its aura fluctuations, Wey Yingxu was secretly startled.

"Tier Four Spiritual Artifact!"

He gasped in shock, clearly not expecting the flying ship to be of such a high tier, originally assuming it was a Tier Two flying ship.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a Tier Four flying ship. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

To be able to control a flying ship of this tier, Lu Ping before him was at least a Crystallization Stage Cultivator.

Despite his young age, his cultivation was already so formidable.

From which powerful force did such a prodigious talent emerge?

In his inner shock and curiosity, Wey Yingxu began conversing with Lu Ping, at times subtly inquiring about Lu Ping’s background.

Detecting the undertone of Wey Yingxu’s words, Lu Ping did not elaborate further, only mentioning that he came from outside the Central Ancestral Realm and left it at that.

Using this conversation as an opportunity, Lu Ping inquired about Yu Yang City, learning that the city ranked eighth among the grand cities within Central Yunzhou, with a total population of over sixty million and more than three hundred thousand resident cultivators.

This Yu Yang City is governed by the Li Family and the Long Family.

Among them, the Li Family is the one Lu Ping is seeking.

Through further inquiry, Lu Ping gradually gained understanding of specific information regarding the Li Family.

Based in Cyan Simurgh Lake, the Li Family has been established for nine hundred sixty-six years.

They developed from a small Qi Cultivation Clan into the current Nascent Soul Clan, expanding their sphere of influence, eventually becoming one of the two major clans in Yu Yang City.

The development journey of the Li Family at Cyan Simurgh Lake had its smooth sailing moments as well as its challenging waves.

Specific details, however, remained unknown to Wey Yingxu.

He only knew that since the 19th clan leader, Li Qingyun, assumed leadership, the Li Family not only reclaimed the Spirit Vein of Spiritual Ape Mountain from hostile forces but also saw the emergence of five Crystallization Stage Cultivators within a decade.

Li Qingyun himself broke through to the Golden Core Stage, elevating the Li Family to a Golden Core Clan, making it one of the eight major clans in Yu Yang City at the time.

Subsequently, they developed from a Golden Core Clan into a Nascent Soul Clan, with several Golden Core Stage Powerhouses emerging within the family, creating a story full of legend.

Just breaking out from the eight major clans of Yu Yang City and ultimately surviving and thriving to control half of Yu Yang City is a tale worthy of a thick family development history, hinting at how many family members of the Li Clan sacrificed themselves over generations.

As for the other Long Family, Lu Ping inquired and learned that they also possess considerable heritage, comparable to the Li Family, standing on equal footing.

Further details, however, were beyond Wey Yingxu’s knowledge.

After all, his Wey Family was merely a Crystallization Family, with Clan Leader Wey Tianqi being the sole Crystallization Cultivator.

In the family, the only ones capable are himself, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and two other early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In front of the Li Family or the Long Family, the Wey Family appeared insignificant.

"The Li Family of Cyan Simurgh Lake developed from a small clan to its current state, certainly no small feat. This family should not be underestimated."

Listening to the conversation among the three, the avatar of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint remarked with emotion.

Lu Ping nodded quietly in agreement.

Indeed, for a cultivation clan to break free from the control of local sects and grow into a Nascent Soul Clan is quite an achievement in Lingxi State.
