Outside the secret chamber, Rongcheng Laozu was pacing back and forth anxiously. Perfected Master Xuan Xu smiled and said, "Senior Rongcheng, don't panic. I believe Disciple Tianping will be out soon!"
However, this was not the time for Rongcheng Laozu to worry. The master craftsman of Hua Yi Zong was already at a critical juncture. If he could not successfully produce the Mara Blood Bath Elixir, the only master craftsman of Hua Yi Zong would probably die here. The Mara Blood Bath Elixir that Lu Ping had produced was not only a pill to forcefully form a Dharma Power, but it was also a pill to extend one's life.
Perfected Master Xuan Xu had purposely come to receive Rongcheng Laozu. Other than because he was the only two Dharma adepts in Zhenling, Tian Kang and Lu Ping, he also wanted to find out what was going on.
Perfected Master Xuan Xu had encountered an accident when he was smelting the third spirit item. Although he had used a low-grade heaven-level spirit item, he had only managed to form a sixth-grade Golden Elixir.
Originally, Perfected Master Xuan Xu had wanted to use Zhenling's inherited secret technique to forcefully form a Dharma Power. However, when he heard from Tian Kang Laozu about the price he had paid to raise Tianlu Laozu and Tianjiang Laozu to Dharma adepts, his heart sank.
Perfected Master Xuan Xu could not compare to Tianjiang and Tianlu Laozu. These two Laozu had already been famous masters of alchemy and crafting in the North Sea before they had reached the Dharma stage. Just this status alone was enough for Zhenling to pay a huge price to extend their lives. However, Perfected Master Xuan Xu knew that his status could not compare to the two Laozu before they had reached the Dharma stage. Furthermore, Zhenling could not afford to pay such a huge price and risk just to extend his life.
To put it bluntly, now that Zhenling's inheritance was on the right track, there was no longer a need for him to rely on external help to advance to the Dharma stage, unless he had the ability to match that of a Dharma adept. Unfortunately, Perfected Master Xuan Xu did not have that!
The secret chamber suddenly opened. Lu Ping floated out from a pile of fragrant elixirs and saw Rongcheng Laozu walking towards him. He also saw Laozu's eager expression. However, when he saw Perfected Master Xuan Xu beside him, Lu Ping was still stunned.
"Friend Tianping, that elixir …"
Looking at Ancestor Rong Cheng's anxious expression, Lu Ping could feel the importance of the Blood Bath Pellet to Hua Yi Sect. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't fail you!"
Rongcheng Laozu was instantly overjoyed. Even Sage Xuan Xu, who was behind him, had a hint of fervor on his face.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping took out two Jade Essence Bottles and said, "It's a pity that I was too careless during the second cauldron. Otherwise, I would have been able to successfully refine all three pellets!"
Spiritual Master Xuan Xu was startled, but Rong Cheng Laozu was overjoyed and said, "Two, there are actually two! With this, the success rate of the secret technique has greatly increased! "
Rong Cheng Laozu reached out and carefully took the pill. At this time, Rong Cheng Laozu had calmed down. Lu Ping started to refine the Mara Blood Bathing Pill. According to the previous agreement between the two sides, Lu Ping could only take out one pill and keep the rest for his own use.
However, Lu Ping took out two pills without hesitation. Rong Cheng Laozu naturally knew that Lu Ping must have something else to say next.
Sure enough, after seeing Rong Cheng Laozu put away the pills, Lu Ping said, "I'm ashamed to say this, but I also have a request!"
Rong Cheng Laozu smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist Tianping, please speak. As long as the Old Man can do it, I won't refuse!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'll have to trouble the Weapon Refining Grandmaster of your sect. I once obtained a Blood Shura Companion Spiritual Treasure. If this Grandmaster succeeds in advancing to the Dharma Phase, can I trouble this Senior to help me modify this Companion Spiritual Treasure?"
Rong Cheng Laozu was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist Tianping is lucky. That Martial Nephew of mine has the experience of modifying Companion Spiritual Treasures. At that time, he will have no reason to refuse. This matter, Old Man, will agree to it on your behalf!"
There was still some hesitation in Lu Ping's expression, but he still said happily, "In that case, thank you, Senior!"
Rong Cheng Laozu saw that Lu Ping seemed to have something to say, but he seemed a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist Tianping, is there anything else? As long as the Old Man can do it, I won't refuse!"
"I'm ashamed!"
Lu Ping smiled embarrassedly and said, "I really have some improper thoughts. I don't know if there are any leftover alchemy materials for Mara's Blood Bathing Pill that you have collected over the years. I'm willing to exchange them with Essence Refining Pills. To tell you the truth, your sect's secret technique of using external force to condense the Dharma Phase is much better than mine …"
"Hahaha!"
Rong Cheng Laozu smiled and said, "So it's this matter. No problem, the Old Man really has some leftover spiritual herbs that I collected when I collected Mara's Blood Bathing Pill. I'll give them to you. As for the exchange, don't mention it. This Old Man's life was saved by you, Fellow Taoist Tianping. Don't tell me you want the Old Man to exchange for it?"
After sending off Rong Cheng Laozu, Spiritual Master Xuan Xu sighed and said, "Thank you, Martial Nephew!"
Lu Ping handed the storage bag in his hand to him and said, "What are you talking about, Martial Uncle? This is all I can do. As for the other things that you need, I think Martial Uncle has already learned from Martial Uncle Tiankang. As for the remaining things, Martial Uncle will have to collect them yourself. The only thing I can help is to refine Mara's Blood Bathing Pill!"
A few days later, Lu Ping had nothing to do and suddenly thought of going to the Phantom City for a stroll.
Nowadays, the cultivators who were trapped in the Phantom City's Five Islands had almost abandoned the use of low and middle grade spirit stones. If they wanted to exchange for cultivation resources, they would have to use high grade spirit stones at the very least. The best grade spirit stones, Refining Essence Pill, Condensing Essence Pill, Returning Soul Pill, and Forging Soul Pill had become the hard currency. Other than that, they could only rely on bartering.
Zhenling's participation in the war was relatively late. Although they had performed well in the Battle of Lattice Island, two months later, due to the scarcity of cultivation resources on the Phantom City's Five Islands, they responded to the call and organized their disciples to go out to hunt for Mara and collect the Source Essence. However, the collection of Source Essence was not as good as that of some of the sects who had participated in the war against Mara.
But this was because there was an Alchemy Grandmaster in their sect. Moreover, this Grandmaster was pushed to the position of the first Alchemy Grandmaster. In this way, Zhenling almost didn't need to collect too much Source Essence. The other sects would continuously send these things to them. Moreover, these things were at least equivalent to the late Core Forging stage Mara or above.
With Lu Ping's cultivation, even if he wanted to use the Source Essence, he would have to use the Condensing Essence Pill and Refining Essence Pill that were refined with the Source Essence of Mara or above. Therefore, the rewards that were equivalent to the late Core Forging stage were distributed by Lu Ping to the other cultivators of Zhenling.
These cultivators either used these pills for cultivation or exchanged them for other things that Zhenling needed. In a short period of time, the wealth accumulated in Zhenling's hands may not be comparable to those of the famous sects with deep roots, but at least among the twenty-five medium-sized sects, it could be said to be second to none. The strength of the cultivators of Zhenling had also been significantly improved.
In addition, there was a batch of Dharma-level Condensing Essence Pills and Soul Returning Pills that Lu Ping had in his hands. These were also the rewards that Lu Ping received when he helped others to refine the pills.
Because of the help of Linglong's wine cauldron, Lu Ping originally had a large amount of Source Essence in his hands. Tiankang Laozu's cultivation had long been unable to advance, so he only left a portion of the Condensing Essence Pills to restore his Essential Yuan during fights. Therefore, this batch of Condensing Essence Pills and Soul Returning Pills was temporarily hoarded by Lu Ping.
Now that Lu Ping was walking around Phantom City, he wanted to see if there was a way to exchange the pills in his hands for something useful to him.
Nowadays, the number of cultivators gathered on the Phantom Five Islands was not small. In order to maintain their cultivation and strength, many cultivators began to take out many of the things that they used to save up in the past to exchange for various cultivation resources. After all, for the past two months, Phantom City was still surrounded by Mara's army. All the cultivators took turns to fight, and no one knew if they would be able to survive until the moment when the siege would break out. Naturally, the more life-saving methods they had, the better. Naturally, the stronger their cultivation and strength could be increased.
Nowadays, most of the shops in Phantom City had been closed. However, a unique market had gradually formed in the west of the city. In the past various markets, Core Forging cultivators, who were rarely seen, had set up stalls here. Moreover, they could be seen everywhere. It was not unusual to encounter one or two cultivators who were suspected to be Laozu, whose cultivation could not be seen clearly.
At this time, Lu Ping was squatting in front of a cultivator covered in a black robe, playing with a golden stone in his hand.
This black robe also had the effect of concealing the cultivator's cultivation and blocking the probing of others' Divine Sense. However, under the probing of Lu Ping's Divine Sense, it was easy to see that the person in front of him was only a mid Core Forging cultivator. Lu Ping's eyes flashed with an undetectable green brilliance. After glancing at the cultivator hidden in the robe, he focused on the golden stone in his hand.
Weighing the golden stone in his hand, Lu Ping looked at the cultivator in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "The quality of this Flying Yellow Adamantine Stone is extremely pure. It is considered a good mid-grade metal-attribute spirit object. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
A hoarse voice came from the black robe, "It is not easy to attract the attention of the Water Sword Immortal. Thirty late Core Forging Spirit Refining Pills!"
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows, and said, "You know me?"
The cultivator in front of him laughed, "You should ask how many Core Forging and above cultivators in Fantasy Spirit City don't know you!"
Lu Ping couldn't help but smile. He didn't think about why this mid Core Forging cultivator wanted to exchange for late Core Forging Spirit Refining Pills from him. Instead, he said, "Thirty Spirit Refining Pills is too expensive. How about eighteen Spirit Refining Pills?"
The cultivator shook his head, and said, "Thirty can't be less. For others, thirty Spirit Refining Pills may be extremely precious, but for you, it shouldn't be much, right?"
Lu Ping thought for a moment, and said, "Twenty. Thirty is indeed a bit too expensive. In addition, I will give you ten Condensing Essence Pills. Although Spirit Refining Pills have a miraculous effect on cultivation, it won't improve your strength in a short period of time. If you are in a life or death battle, a Condensing Essence Pill to restore your True Essence might be more useful than a Condensing Essence Pill!"
The cultivator hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
