"Actually, in addition to asking Fellow Daoist Tianping to refine a batch of pills, I also have an extremely important matter to ask for Fellow Daoist Tianping's help!"
Rongcheng Laozu paused.
Lu Ping and Tian Kang Laozu looked at each other. Tian Kang Laozu said, "Fellow Daoist Rongcheng, please come to the secret chamber to talk. The Old Man still has some trivial matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave first!"
Lu Ping welcomed Rongcheng Laozu into the secret chamber. There was a mysterious aura in the secret chamber. As soon as Rongcheng Laozu came into contact with this aura, he was shocked. He looked at the secret chamber in surprise and saw the last wisp of smoke rising from a small incense burner.
This was … Soul Calming Incense?
Looking at the small incense burner made of fine copper, Rongcheng Laozu secretly cursed in his heart. Who said that the North Sea was barren? The person in front of him used fine copper, which could be used to refine high-grade pill furnaces, to make an incense burner!
Moreover, what really surprised Rongcheng Laozu was the incense burning in the incense burner. Although he only smelled a lingering fragrance, Rongcheng Laozu was fortunate enough to see this incense once and had a deep impression of it. It was a famous luxury item in the cultivation world, the Soul Calming Incense, ranked second among the three great soul incense.
It was also because of that opportunity that Rongcheng Laozu was fortunate enough to obtain a piece of the Soul Calming Incense, ranked third among the three great soul incense. After he was plotted against by the Blood Demon, he used that piece of Soul Calming Incense to stabilize his Divine Sense, which was about to collapse, and saved his cultivation.
At this moment, Lu Qin-er brought two cups of spiritual tea. Rongcheng Laozu looked at Lu Qin-er strangely. He seemed to understand why Tian Kang Laozu had gone to Chengling Island to visit the Wind Luan Clan. At that time, this matter was considered a little strange, but he was immediately attracted by the spiritual tea beside him.
"Fellow Daoist Tianping, this spirit tea is extraordinary!"
Rong Cheng Laozu took a sip and immediately felt a thick spiritual Qi circulating in his mouth. It slid down his throat and finally spread throughout his body. Even with his Dharma stage cultivation, he was tempted by the rich spiritual Qi contained in the spiritual tea.
Lu Ping laughed and said, "I'm just trying to be cultured. Please don't laugh at me!"
Rong Cheng Laozu couldn't help but take another sip of tea. Then he put down the teacup in his hand and took out a jade slip. He pushed it in front of Lu Ping and said, "Old Man, if you have something to say, please say it. This is the elixir recipe for the Mara Blood Bathing Pill. I hope you can help me!"
When Lu Ping heard the name of the elixir recorded in the jade slip, he couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face. Obviously, Lu Ping was very familiar with this elixir. However, Lu Ping didn't immediately take out the jade slip to look at it. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "The Mara Blood Bathing Pill is the most important part of the Mara Blood Bathing Secret Technique to help peak Core Forging stage cultivators advance to the Dharma stage. It is one of the best secret techniques to help peak Core Forging stage cultivators who have not successfully condensed a high-level Gold Core to advance to the Dharma stage. This secret technique can be said to be the foundation of a sect. Senior Rong Cheng, do you really want to give this elixir recipe to me?"
Rong Cheng Laozu smiled bitterly and said, "Not only is it the elixir recipe for the Mara Blood Bathing Pill, this jade slip also contains the entire inheritance of the Mara Blood Bathing Secret Technique!"
This time, even Lu Ping himself was a little shocked!
Rong Cheng Laozu didn't wait for Lu Ping to ask and explained, "It is a Master Blacksmith among the second generation disciples of our sect. His lifespan is coming to an end. If we don't take a gamble and miss the opportunity, I'm afraid he can only wait for his death. My Hua Yi Sect only has one Master Blacksmith. If the inheritance is lost, I don't know how long it will take to train another one."
Although Rong Cheng Laozu's explanation was far-fetched, Lu Ping didn't ask much. Each sect had its own difficulties and secrets. Hua Yi Sect would rather give this secret technique to Lu Ping in exchange for Lu Ping refining the Mara Blood Bathing Pill. Lu Ping was naturally sensible and wouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask.
Rong Cheng Laozu saw Lu Ping reach out to pick up the jade slip on the table and began to look at it. His heart suddenly relaxed, and then he looked at Lu Ping with a trace of hope.
After about a cup of tea's time, Lu Ping's Divine Sense withdrew from the jade slip. Rong Cheng Laozu saw this and quickly asked, "How is it?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm about sixty to seventy percent sure. If Senior can prepare two sets of materials, I think I can refine one furnace!"
Rong Cheng Laozu was overjoyed when he heard this. Since a person like Lu Ping could say how confident he was, it was naturally not far from the truth. He might even be cautious by one or two percent. Hua Yi Sect also had an Alchemy Grandmaster, but he only had a forty to fifty percent chance of refining the Mara Blood Bathing Pill. In addition, he didn't prepare enough materials at the beginning, so he delayed refining it.
It was not until after the battle in the Fallen Secret Land that Hua Yi Sect collected enough alchemy materials by all means. Unfortunately, at this time, he was trapped in the Phantom Five Islands and lost contact with the South China Sea. In any case, he could not count on his Alchemy Grandmaster. Otherwise, how could Rong Cheng Laozu be willing to share such an inherited secret technique with Zhenling!
Rong Cheng Laozu took a storage bag from his waist and slapped it on the table. "Fellow Taoist Tianping, here are three sets of materials for refining the Mara Blood Bathing Pill. In any case, please!"
In fact, Rong Cheng Laozu had a good idea. In fact, Lu Ping was seventy to eighty percent sure that he could successfully refine the Mara Blood Bathing Pill in the first furnace. It was only out of caution that he reduced the number by one or two percent. However, he did not expect that Rong Cheng Laozu had prepared three sets of alchemy materials. This time, Lu Ping was fully confident that he could refine this pill. If he was lucky, it might even be possible to refine one more pill.
Lu Ping put away the storage bag and said, "Senior, don't worry. You can come back to get the pill in seven days!"
The refining of the Mara Blood Bathing Pill, in addition to the assistance of some precious Spirit Herbs, needed three main ingredients. One was the original essence of a complete Blood Shura. This was extremely difficult to collect. Even if Lu Ping used the Linglong Wine Cauldron, he could not do it. However, he could collect the essence of several Blood Shura of the same level into a complete set.
The second was a Blood Demon's Soul-Devouring Demonic Crystal. Although Lu Ping had killed two or three Blood Shura before, that was because Lu Ping's Divine Will was different from that of ordinary people. In addition, he had the Jade Soul Fire, the Cloud Sail, the imitation of the Vast Sea Bell, and other special means to restrain demonic cultivators. In fact, the various strange means of the Blood Demons made them much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Blood Shura of the same level. In addition, there were very few Blood Demons, so it was extremely difficult to get a Blood Demon's Soul-Devouring Crystal.
Third, it required a bowl of blood from a Dharma adept. Regardless of whether it was a human or a demon, one's cultivation had to be carried by one's own bloodline. The loss of blood often meant that a practitioner would lose a large amount of inner Yuan in their body, and it often required a great deal of effort for the practitioner to recover. If too much blood was lost, it could even damage the practitioner's foundation. Therefore, practitioners valued their own blood very much. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would definitely not allow their own bloodline to be damaged, not to mention the blood of a Dharma adept!
And Rongcheng Laozu actually had three sets of such materials. Just by preparing these three sets of materials, Lu Ping could imagine how much Hua Yizong had paid. It also showed how much importance Hua Yizong attached to this great crafting master.
However, compared to the secret technique that Zhen Ling Sect had mastered, this secret technique that used external forces to help a Core Formation cultivator condense a Dharma Idol was much easier, and the success rate was undoubtedly much higher as well.
According to Lu Ping's knowledge, in the first generation of Zhenling's adepts, there were originally only four Dharma adepts who had entered the Dharma stage through normal training. Tianlu and Tianjiang, the two Dharma adepts, had entered the Dharma stage through this incomplete secret technique that Zhenling had passed down. For this, Tianjiang Laozu had lost a portion of his lifespan. Otherwise, he would not have reached the brink of death at this time.
Lu Ping naturally knew about this secret technique. The content and process were extremely complicated. Just one of the requirements made Lu Ping frown. That was, when this secret technique was used, it required the fresh, undamaged heart of a Dharma adept who had just been killed, as well as the condensed Dharma Power in the core space. Furthermore, these were only part of the process of using this secret technique.
Although both the Blood Demon and the Blood Asura were existences equivalent to Dharma adepts, the Blood Demon and the Blood Asura were, after all, not humans. Moreover, they were natural enemies of humans and demons. Killing and using the items on them was no problem for Lu Ping, but this secret technique that Zhenling had passed down was very different.
Seven days later, Lu Ping shook his hand and waved it at the Na Chuan Cauldron. The Silver Spirit Flame slowly returned to Lu Ping's hand.
Lu Ping waved his sleeves, and the lid of the Na Chuan Cauldron flew off. A ghostly wail that was not inferior to the Soul Devouring Magic of the Demon suddenly sounded from the alchemy cauldron. If a cultivator did not have a high enough level of cultivation, he would probably be shocked by this strange wail and lose the opportunity to collect the elixirs.
However, Lu Ping seemed to have expected this. When this strange sound wave headed towards Lu Ping, a Divine Will wall that was almost solid formed in front of Lu Ping, blocking the sound wave.
In fact, four days ago, Lu Ping had already suffered such a wave of attacks. If it were not for Lu Ping's strong Divine Will, the first batch of elixirs would have been ruined. Fortunately, Lu Ping still endured the headache and kept the Mara Blood Bathing Elixir.
However, except for this last step, which brought a lot of trouble to Lu Ping, the whole alchemy process did not have too many waves. This also made Lu Ping slightly relax his vigilance. However, when he was refining the second batch of elixirs, the furnace almost exploded. Although it was eventually controlled by Lu Ping, he still refined a useless elixir, which made Lu Ping very angry.
Fortunately, the third batch was still successful. Lu Ping refined two crystal red Mara Blood Bathing Elixirs out of the three sets of materials.
