Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 404 – Distribution of the Spirit Stone Mine

After some time, Lu Ping finally got rid of all of the after effects from Shui Wu-Huan's attacks. He quietly closed his palms and kept the small broken banner in his hands away. Inside his heartspace, the nascent pearls orbited rapidly around his golden Core, refining the spiritual energy into true energy to help him recover from his injuries.

Meanwhile, a dozen other figures made their entrances, causing the Enlightened Masters to gather around them and greet them respectfully.

The Xuan Ling Sect Great Ancestor that had arrived was Feng Xu-Dao. However, compared to his domineering demeanor the last time that Lu Ping saw him, he looked gloomy and hateful this time.

Other than the Great Ancestors from the top ten sects, there were also two more that didn't belong to any of the sects.

The Great Ancestors listened to the Enlightened Masters that were reporting the situation to them. Afterwards, Great Ancestor Cang-Li said doubtfully, "Lead the way."

After the newly arrived Enlightened Masters grouped up with their respective sect members, Lu Ping stepped forward and greeted Xuan-Huo. Then, he asked, "Junior uncle, why are you here as well? Why are there twelve Great Ancestors? Who are the other two?"

Xuan-Huo looked at Lu Ping, and answered, "This is the first large spirit mine in the North Ocean, of course everyone has their eyes on it. Not only that, I believe you must have all noticed the large number of ice-elemental resources, supplementary spirit mines and spirit veins, right?"

Xuan-Lei seemed close to Xuan-Huo, and nodded, "That's right. There is a secondary spirit mine at the bottom of the cliff. Junior uncle, the sect has made the right choice by sending a Master Smith like you here."

Xuan-Huo continued, "The top ten sects are strong, but we aren’t the only ones in the North Ocean. The other sects and independent clans won't let us have everything. The two Great Ancestors represent ten such forces and are here to discuss the dis
