Under Lu Dagui's surveillance, Lu Ping managed to sneak into the Mid Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts' territory for the past two years. Using Hunger Crush Pills and other methods, he managed to kill a total of 81 Mid Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts. Among them, only 20 demonic beasts had Condensed Blood Pearls in their heart cores.
These 20 demonic beasts provided a total of 93 Condensed Blood Pearls. Fortunately, most of the demonic beasts in the ocean had water attributes or were inclined towards water attributes. Among the 93 Condensed Blood Pearls, more than 60 of them were water attribute Blood Spirit Pills that were suitable for Lu Ping's cultivation technique.
With these Condensed Blood Pearls, Lu Ping's pill refinement skills improved rapidly. His success rate in concocting Mid Blood Condensation Realm pills had reached more than 50%. If Lu Ping's previous success in concocting Condensed Blood Pills was a sign that he had successfully stepped into the realm of pill refinement, then Lu Ping's pill refinement skills were now on par with ordinary pill refinement masters.
Blood Spirit Pellets were among the best among the medicinal pellets of the same grade. In the past two years, Lu Ping's cultivation had been progressing at an ideal pace thanks to the support of the Mid Blood Condensation Realm Blood Spirit Pellets. Not long ago, he successfully broke through to the Fifth Layer Blood Condensation Realm.
This time, Lu Ping merged with the wood-attribute Luan bloodline in his body. Lu Ping's foundation bloodline was as tyrannical as ever. It devoured all the arcane energy in the Luan bloodline, but it didn't have a single trace of the Luan bloodline's characteristics.
The first thing Lu Ping did after breaking through was to find the flying demonic beast that tried to kill him. After entering the Mid Blood Condensation Realm, Lu Ping fought with this demonic beast a few times. Although Lu Ping always had the upper hand, this flying demonic beast had wings and cultivated the Wind and Fire Arts. Lu Ping couldn't do anything to it.
This time, Lu Ping used the Starving Swamp Pellet as bait and finally subdued the demonic beast. However, he encountered the two cultivators who happened to be passing by. In order to conceal his strength, Lu Ping had no choice but to cast the [Art of Cloud Summoning Rain] from the North Sea's Twelve Paragons. With the cover of the clouds, he managed to capture the demonic beast alive.
During his conversation with Cheng and Huang, Lu Ping had a general understanding of the situation in the North Sea in the past five years. What surprised Lu Ping was the rise of the Overturned Sea Gang.
In Lu Ping's eyes, the gang that tried to kill Lu Ping and his sect's cultivators four years ago was nothing more than a group of pirates that made a living by robbing cultivators from the monster's seas.
Lu Ping didn't expect that after more than four years, not only had the Overturned Ocean Sect not been annihilated by the other sects' encirclement, but it had also grown in power. Their influence had spread to the various monster sea regions that were connected to the North Sea sects.
The various sects also had Core Forging Enlightened Masters meddling in the affairs of the Overturned Seas Sect. Just when the North Sea cultivators thought that the Core Forging Enlightened Masters would make their move, the pirates would disappear without a trace, an even more shocking piece of news spread.
The Enlightened Masters all returned in defeat. The Overturned Sea Gang also had the support of the Core Forging Enlightened Masters, who declared that the Overturned Sea Gang would establish a foothold in the North Sea.
When the news spread, the North Sea cultivators were in an uproar. They all hoped that the North Sea Sect's Dharma Adepts, Laozu, would step forward to resolve the matter. However, the various sects' Laozu seemed to have a tacit understanding and ignored the matter. After that, the Overturned Sea Gang also stopped their murdering and robbing pirates and began to openly appear before the North Sea cultivators. It was as if they had truly turned over a new leaf.
The North Sea cultivators deeply hated the Overturned Sea Gang's previous actions. However, they were also afraid of the Core Forging Enlightened Masters behind the Overturned Sea Gang, so they didn't dare to openly retaliate. They could only avoid contact with the Overturned Sea Gang cultivators, isolating them from the North Sea cultivators.
The Overturned Sea Gang also knew their place, so they didn't mind being isolated by the North Sea cultivators. They just acted on their own, and there were times when the North Sea cultivators retaliated. However, the North Sea cultivators soon discovered that the Overturned Sea Gang cultivators not only had powerful cultivation, but their ritual implements were also of excellent quality. In a battle between cultivators of the same level, the North Sea cultivators were often the ones who suffered.
After a few battles, the Overturned Sea Gang suffered heavy casualties, and the North Sea cultivators suffered heavy casualties. Only then did the two sides ease up, but the Overturned Sea Gang still did not tolerate the North Sea cultivators.
Lu Ping's intuition told him that the Overturned Sea Gang was not as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, the Overturned Sea Gang's display of strength was enough to affect the North Sea Sect's current order. The sects' Laozu would not ignore them. If that was the case, then there was only one possibility. The Overturned Sea Gang's strength was even greater than what they had revealed so far. It was so great that even the Dharma Adepts of the various sects feared them.
Lu Ping could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, shocked by his own guess.
Recalling the look of hatred on the two cultivators' faces when they talked about the Overturned Sea Gang, Lu Ping could not help but laugh. When the two of them heard that Lu Ping was heavily injured because of the Overturned Sea Gang's pursuit and was trapped here for several years to recuperate, Cultivator Huang did not hesitate to give Lu Ping a jade token, inviting him to participate in an operation against the Overturned Sea Gang.
Lu Ping originally wanted to return to Huang Li Island as soon as possible to find out who had leaked his whereabouts. However, when he heard that the initiator of this operation against the Overturned Sea Gang was the eldest son of the Ai family of West-Hill Island, Lu Ping suddenly remembered that Ai Shutao, a good friend he had made on Fei Ling Island, was a cultivator of the Ai family. In addition, Lu Ping really did want to take revenge on the Overturned Sea Gang, so he kept the jade token.
Just as Lu Ping was thinking about the Overturned Sea Gang, Lu Dagui arrived at Lu Ping's cultivation room.
Lu Ping frowned. He knew that if there was nothing important, his five spiritual beasts would not disturb his cultivation.
After entering the Blood Condensation Realm, Lu Dagui had completely unlocked his intelligence. Although he could not speak, he could still communicate through his divine sense.
Lu Ping retracted his divine sense and fell into deep thought.
"A late Blood Condensation demonic beast, huh?!"
Lu Ping shook his head with a bitter smile. It seemed that he had been too ruthless in hunting demonic beasts recently. He had already attracted the attention of a high-level Blood Condensation demonic beast.
However, Lu Ping had always been cautious when hunting demonic beasts. Every time he went out, he would go to a different location. His targets were also random. In addition, he was hiding in an area where early Blood Condensation demonic beasts gathered. With Lu Dagui as his cover, Lu Ping did not have to worry about demonic beasts finding him in the short term.
However, Lu Ping could not appear in this area for the time being. It was best for him to leave this place.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ping got busy again.
After Lu Ping threw the heavily injured demonic bird to a corner of the temporary cave, Lu Ping ignored it.
At first, the Sixth Level Blood Condensation demonic bird was arrogant and unruly. Even though it was on the verge of death, it still looked at Lu Ping with disdain.
However, Lu Ping's spiritual beasts surprised the demonic bird.
First was Lu Dagui. Although the demonic bird was a flying demonic beast, it knew that Lu Dagui was just an ordinary demonic beast. It could be said that Lu Dagui's aptitude was low among the demonic beasts. The demonic bird secretly mocked Lu Ping for not knowing how to choose a spiritual beast.
But then, it saw Lu Ping casually tossing spirit pills to Lu Dagui. As demonic beasts, spirit pills were more precious to them. Thus, demonic beasts had a natural instinct for things that could increase their strength. The demonic bird secretly felt that it was a pity that these precious spirit pills were wasted on an ordinary sea turtle.
While the demonic bird cursed Lu Ping for wasting precious spirit pills, it could not help but guess Lu Ping's identity.
What happened next shocked it. With the help of three Blood Condensing Pills, Dabao finally broke through to the Blood Condensation Realm.
According to the demonic bird's knowledge, demonic beasts with low bloodlines like the Spirit Seeking Mouse were mostly at the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Occasionally, a few of them would break through to the mid stage of the Blood Refining Realm. However, this Spirit Seeking Mouse actually broke through to the Blood Condensation Realm. How could the demonic bird not be surprised?
After breaking through, Dabao jumped up and down excitedly. In the end, it annoyed Lu Ping so much that he reprimanded it and made it behave. Even so, Lu Dabao still managed to get a bottle of Thousand Ginseng Pills from Lu Ping.
Lu Dabao was probably the talkative type among demonic beasts. Now that it had entered the Blood Condensation Realm, it could communicate with other demonic beasts using its divine sense. In just a few days, this fellow actually managed to form a relationship with the demonic bird.
The demonic bird also wanted to understand Lu Ping's situation. This made it even more surprised. The human cultivator that captured it was actually an alchemist. No wonder he could casually give precious spirit pills to its spirit beast.
Dabao had followed Lu Ping for the longest time and had the deepest relationship with Lu Ping. It also understood Lu Ping's thoughts the most. Its two beady eyes darted around quickly. It then revealed to the demonic bird that it had only followed Lu Ping for eight years, but it had already advanced from an ordinary First Layer Blood Refining Realm demonic beast to the First Layer Blood Condensation Realm.
This made the demonic bird even more dumbfounded. The demonic bird was well aware of the status of the Spirit Seeking Mouse among the demonic beasts. Not only did this demonic beast break through to the Blood Condensation Realm, it also used only eight years to do so.
The demonic bird thought that its aptitude was considered pretty good among the demonic beasts. Back then, it had taken it more than ten years to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm. How could it not go crazy?
However, what happened next made it even angrier. Dabao secretly told it that the three Green Sea Snakes that looked down on it had only been five years since they were born, but they had already reached the Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm.
The giant turtle had only followed Lu Ping for six years, but it had already advanced from the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm to the peak of the Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm. It was about to break through to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm.
During the conversation with Dabao, the monster bird received information that completely defied its understanding of the world. This finally set off a wave in its heart, causing it to fall into a daze for the next few days. Even when Dabao gave it a high-grade healing pellet from Lu Ping, the monster bird didn't hesitate and simply swallowed it down without hesitation.
Lu Ping, who was secretly manipulating everything, saw that the demonic bird had gradually lost its original arrogance. Its sharp eyes were also gradually losing focus, and its eyes were filled with doubt and contradiction. He knew that now was the time to add fuel to the fire.
In the following month, Lu Ping continuously refined ten cauldrons of Blood Spirit Pills in the cave abode. All the Condensed Blood Pearls that he had obtained recently, regardless of whether they were of the water attribute or not, were refined. Lu Ping's alchemy skills finally maintained a success rate of more than 60% for mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm pills.
Every time the cauldron was opened, Lu Ping's five spirit beasts would be filled with excitement. The monster bird's injuries were gradually recovering under the effects of the top-grade healing medicinal pellets. It looked at Da Bao, Da Gui, Lu Bi, Lu Hai, and Lu Ling walking in front of it. Each of them had a medicinal pellet flowing with spiritual energy in their mouths, and its eyes were finally filled with desire.
When Lu Ping appeared in front of it again, the demonic bird finally lowered its proud head to Lu Ping.
