“Seed, are you talking about that purple, crystalline object?”
Lu Ping’an said in astonishment.

“Um, I suspect that it’s the seed of a Tree Demon…”
“Father has a cultivation technique named the Heavenly Longevity Technique, which can refine a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Plant into a ‘Life-bound Spiritual Root’…”
Lu Quanzhen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke softly.
“Quanzhen, you mean…”
Lu Ping’an immediately understood what his brother meant.
Upon hearing the effects of the Heavenly Longevity Technique, he too felt a surge of astonishment and thought the cultivation technique was quite miraculous.
“Whether it’s the Tree Demon’s seed or not, I think we should grab a few and take a look.”
“Didn’t Father instruct us before, that if we come across any rare Spiritual Medicines or Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Plants, we should bring them back?”
“If that purple seed really is the Tree Demon’s seed, it would definitely be a huge gain.”
Lu Quanzhen said lowly, looking at the situation ahead.
“Alright.”
Lu Ping’an looked at the several bizarre Demon Beasts fighting ahead, preparing to make a move.
With his current combat prowess, seizing a few Demon Beasts from the fray would not be difficult.
But perhaps because his first love was on the battlefield, he felt somewhat embarrassed to make a move and reluctant to raise his hand.
“Sha sha sha!!!”
The Purple Demon Tree suddenly shook, its canopy rustling loudly, and mist swirling. Numerous purple leaves fluttered down, slashing towards the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“Xiu xiu xiu!”
The leaves whirled chaotically, brimming with intent to kill.
The trunk of the Tree Demon had already been completely set ablaze, and at this moment, it appeared to be in its death throes.
Facing the flurry of purple leaves, Qin Yi moved her Flying Sword, creating a net of Sword Qi.
But her Demon Beast opponent’s body suddenly exploded, countless tendrils appearing and whipping towards her, sending her flying with coughed blood from her mouth.
“Big brother, stop hesitating.”
Lu Quanzhen called out, urging him to stop being indecisive — your first love is getting beaten up!
Upon hearing his brother’s urging, Lu Ping’an hesitated no longer. His footing spurred him forward, his entire being like a streak of golden light, bursting forth and appearing in front of Qin Yi in an instant.
Following that, his blood surged, and he raised his right arm and delivered a powerful punch onto the bizarre Demon Beast, completely exploding its body.
“Eh!?”
“Who is this man!?”
This scene left Qin Yi and several other disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect shocked.
They had taken notice of Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen earlier.
But in such a situation, they couldn’t spare the attention to care for others.
Moreover, they were confident that these two couldn’t interfere with them.
But now, seeing Lu Ping’an punch a Demon Beast to death, they couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
They secretly thought, ‘Where did this Loose Cultivator come from, with such astonishing fighting strength!’
“I’m only interested in the seeds within the body of these Demon Beasts and won’t vie for your other spoils.”
Lu Ping’an said to everyone.
As he spoke, he seemed to feel that it wasn’t quite right and worried they wouldn’t believe him, so he continued, “As a reward, I can help you deal with this Tree Demon.”
“Thank you!”
At that moment, Qin Yi got up from the ground, wiping the fresh blood from her lips, and expressed her gratitude to Lu Ping’an.
“It’s no trouble at all, no need to thank me.”
Lu Ping’an said, somewhat awkwardly.
He then searched the crushed body of the Demon Beast in front of him and found an oval seed about the size of a thumb, emanating a purple, crystalline luster.
He pocketed the seed and once again took a step, his entire body shooting out like a cannonball and striking another Demon Beast, his punch shattering its body into pieces, astonishing the Sword Cultivators on the field.
It was known that Sword Cultivators were famous for their attacking prowess, claiming to be second to none in terms of aggression!
Yet the Demon Beasts they had been struggling to slay were now effortlessly pulverized by Lu Ping’an’s mere punch.
After annihilating several Demon Beasts, Lu Ping’an directly launched himself towards the Tree Demon.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Punches like the drums of gods and demons pounded against the demon tree, thundering loudly and causing wood chips to explode.
Facing such an onslaught, the demon tree swayed rustlingly, the ground trembled, and thick root tendrils like that of an earth dragon appeared, whipping through the air and smashing towards Lu Ping’an.
Yet, Lu Ping’an, faced with this aggressive attack, neither dodged nor evaded, meeting it head-on, swinging his fists, causing those roots to burst apart.
The already crumbling demon tree soon fell silent under Lu Ping’an’s assault.
Adjacent to the action, Qin Yi, with her expression cold, watched Lu Ping’an’s silhouette;the more she watched his way of fighting, the more familiar it seemed. Frowning, she felt an increasing sense of familiarity.
She once knew someone who fought just like this.
Moreover, the movements, gestures, and silhouettes of the two shared seemed remarkably alike.
“Many thanks to this Daoist for the assistance.”
At that moment, a cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect bowed in thanks towards Lu Ping’an.
Although the disciples of the Immortal Sects were arrogant and looked down on loose cultivators…
The main reason was still strength!
Someone like Lu Ping’an, who could explode demon beasts with a punch and burst demon trees with his fists, did not fall into the category they disdained.
In fact, some semblance of respect could be seen in their eyes when they looked towards Lu Ping’an!
“Everyone’s too kind.”
Lu Ping’an bowed in return.
“We have yet to ask for your name, Daoist, and where you come from?”
A Heavenly Sword Sect disciple curiously inquired, wanting to know Lu Ping’an’s identity and origin.
“An Ping, just a loose cultivator.”
Lu Ping’an reported the alias he was using for this trip.
Hearing the name, Qin Yi slightly furrowed her brows, her expression turning somewhat peculiar as she looked towards Lu Ping’an.
That’s because the name bore a resemblance to that of an old acquaintance of hers.
She stepped forward towards Lu Ping’an to express her gratitude again, “Thank you for your assistance just now.”
“The lady is too polite.”
Lu Ping’an said with a smile.
Noticing her poor complexion, he took out a bottle of healing pills from his storage bag and handed it to her, “I have some healing pills here.”
“Lady?”
Qin Yi, upon hearing Lu Ping’an’s address and this gesture, didn’t reach out to take the pills but instead looked at him with a furrowed brow, saying, “I feel like you’re somewhat familiar.”
“Have we met before?”
Lu Ping’an’s heart skipped a beat, not expecting Qin Yi to be so perceptive.
He immediately explained that he had been cultivating in the mountains all along, fighting with demon beasts day in and day out, and seldom went out.
“It’s just a feeling that you seem familiar, as if I’ve seen you before.”
Qin Yi continued to look directly at Lu Ping’an as if trying to discern something from his face.
“I see.”
Lu Ping’an was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded his head, bowing to everyone present, “Since the matter is resolved, I bid you all farewell.”
“Lu Ping’an.”
Qin Yi, witnessing Lu Ping’an’s jianghu-like demeanor and actions, felt an increasing sense of recognition and directly called out loud.
“Hm?”
The nearby Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators were taken aback by this, as if recognizing something different in the situation.
Lu Ping’an, feeling as if he had been struck by heavenly thunder, stiffened.
Then he turned back and said, “My name is An Ping, the lady must have mistaken me for someone else.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi’s eyebrows raised, her eyes clear and incisive, she looked at Lu Ping’an’s retreating back and said directly, “Whether you’re Lu Ping’an or not, if you happen to meet him, you can tell him that Qin Yi has joined the Heavenly Sword Sect and he can write to her if there’s anything.”
Although Lu Ping’an had no Spiritual Root and was unable to cultivate…
Her instincts told her that this person was Lu Ping’an.
“Ah…”
Lu Ping’an sighed inwardly upon hearing this, not sure of how to respond.
But with the thought of his own Spiritual Root or the lack thereof, he eventually stepped forward, leapt up, and returned to Lu Quanzhen’s side at the cave entrance, whispering softly, “Let’s go.”
