Lyra Laozu's words had obviously impacted Tianshan and Tiancheng Laozu quite a bit. Both of them were still frowning as they pondered over Lyra Laozu's words.
Lyra Laozu was obviously under a lot of pressure because of his deliberate suppression of Lu Ping. Although no one questioned him, and even Lu Ping himself did not mind, Lu Ping's strength, prestige, and contribution had reached a very high level in Zhenling. He enjoyed a very high reputation in Zhenling, and this was enough to put a heavy psychological pressure on Lyra Laozu.
Now that Lyra Laozu had said everything in one breath, he felt relaxed. Although Lyra Laozu believed that what he did was right, and that it was beneficial to the sect in the long run, and even to Lu Ping himself, the pressure of not being understood made Lyra Laozu feel that he would rather summon another lightning tribulation!
"Little Lu, we will naturally do our best to help, but we will definitely not help with everything we ask for. We will try our best to help the sect and the cultivator with all our strength!"
"Also, the rise of a sect can never be because of one person, but because of a group of people. The rise of one person can only affect the sect for a short period of time, but the gradual and continuous rise of a group of people can ensure that the sect's legacy can last as long as possible!"
Tianshan Laozu let out a long sigh, and said, "Then this time …"
Lyra Laozu finished his words, and said, "This time, he already has Tianchu's help. With the two of them working together, even if Little Lu can't take first place, he can at least stay on the list and get a place to enter the Seventh Patriarch's Taoist Altar. That is enough!"
At this point, Lyra Laozu's face had a touch of worry, and he said, "Little Lu is too conspicuous. Of course, this is a reflection of his own strength, but this is the Central Plains, the holy land of human cultivators. There are many sects and geniuses, and our sect is just an inconspicuous medium-sized sect from the barren North Sea."
Tian Cheng Laozu's eyes widened, and he said with a fierce face, "Someone wants to harm Little Lu?"
Lyra Laozu nodded, and said, "Although we don't know about the various sects in the Central Plains, it goes without saying that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The sects from the North Sea have already arrived, and according to the news from the North Sea, Xuan Ling Sect, Cang Hai Sect, and even a few other sects seem to be very afraid of Little Lu. With Little Lu's current strength, the sects from the North Sea are naturally not afraid of him, but they are afraid that they will collude with cultivators from the Central Plains or overseas sects. It is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Staying in an inconspicuous position on the list of battle merits will make the cultivators from the various sects in the Central Plains think that Little Lu is not a threat, and that is the most important thing."
When Lu Ping walked into the meeting hall, he did not know that Lyra Laozu and the others had just had a heated discussion about him, but the atmosphere inside seemed to be a little strange.
After meeting the three Laozu, Tian Cheng Laozu coughed and asked, "Little fellow, when will you be able to produce the Samling Five Elements Elixir that you mentioned to the Old Man previously? Yes, the Old Man can't wait any longer!"
Lu Ping looked at Tian Cheng Laozu with a hint of surprise. He thought to himself that this Laozu had previously said that he was not in a hurry to recover from his internal injuries, and that he wanted to make the best use of his time to break through to the early Dharma stage. But now he was going back on his words. Could it be that he was thinking of breaking through to the mid Dharma stage after advancing? But it was not so easy to break through to the mid Dharma stage now!
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Uncle, it's the Samling Fire Source Elixir. The Samling Five Elements Elixir is just a general name for this type of elixir. You specialize in fire-based techniques, and your source is naturally the essence of fire. Naturally, you have to use the Samling Fire Source Elixir!"
"Oh?"
Tian Cheng Laozu thought about it and said, "It's just that this elixir seems to be a little too extravagant. I heard that this elixir needs different stages of the five elements in order to be nurtured, and you were able to hasten its growth to seven leaves in such a short period of time. I'm afraid that you must have used some kind of treasure that can shorten the growth of spirit herbs. Could it be that you're only able to refine one Samling Fire Source Elixir?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "This rumor is wrong. I originally thought so, but after hasten the growth of the Samling Five Elements Leaf, I found that each leaf of the Samling Five Elements Leaf can actually be used to refine any kind of Origin Elixir of the five elements. Moreover, each leaf can be used as the main ingredient, and together with other precious spirit herbs, it can be used to refine three Origin Elixirs of the same attribute. In other words, the seven leaves of the Samling Five Elements Leaf in my hands can be used to refine three Samling Fire Source Elixirs, and the remaining six leaves can be used to refine a total of 18 Origin Elixirs of the five elements depending on the situation in the future."
Grand Ancestor Tiancheng's eyes lit up. It was important to repair the origin so that his cultivation could rise again, but if the price paid was too great, it would make Grand Ancestor Tiancheng feel uneasy.
Thinking about the method of cultivating the Samling Five Elements Leaf, Lu Ping had to pay a total of thirty-five types of Five Elements spiritual objects of all levels, ranging from the lower grade of the Mystic level to the lower grade of the Heaven level. In addition, in order to hasten the growth, he also had to pay a priceless Wood Phoenix Golden Elixir and various other rare spirit liquids. In order to refine the elixir, he also needed a large number of rare spirit herbs. If the price paid was only to refine a single elixir that could heal an early Dharma adept's Origin Elixir, it was likely that not many people in the world of cultivation would go back and do so.
It was just that the Samling Five Elements Leaf had been a legend ever since the Seventh Patriarch opened the sky. After all, no one had actually seen this type of spirit herb. The few words that Taoist Gui had left behind were also vague and unclear. If Lu Ping had not successfully cultivated the Samling Five Elements Leaf, how would he have known its true use?
Tian Cheng Laozu hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and said, "It's a pity. If it could be cultivated into an eight or even a nine leaf spirit herb, it would be a panacea that could even heal the injuries of a mid or late Dharma adept's Origin Elixir!"
Naturally, Lu Ping would not tell them that not only did he already have a complete Nine Leaf Samling Five Elements Leaf, he also had two seeds in his possession other than this seven leaf spirit herb. He only smiled and said, "It's not that easy to injure a mid or late Dharma adept's Origin Elixir. Furthermore, there are many more early Dharma adepts than the first two, so the chances of them getting injured are much higher as well. Therefore, when the seven leaves of the Samling Five Elements Leaf are cultivated, it would be more economical to use it to cultivate elixirs."
Lu Ping paused for a moment before continuing, "What's more, if you want to cultivate the eighth and ninth leaf, you'll need mid-grade and high-grade heaven-rank spirit herbs. This is a problem that even the holy lands and sects would have a headache dealing with. Also, as the number of leaves increases, the number of spirit pellets that can be used to concoct will decrease. An eight-leaf spirit herb can only be used to concoct two spirit pellets, and a nine-leaf spirit herb can only be used to concoct one spirit pellet. Although the efficacy of the spirit pellets is several times better than the former, each spirit pellet can only be used to concoct one person."
Tian Cheng Laozu secretly exchanged glances with Tianqin and Tianshan Laozu and said, "Hearing you say this, the Old Man is even more impatient. Tomorrow, you can start cultivating the panacea for the Old Man. These days, the Mara battlefield at the Nine Mystical Tower will not be peaceful, so let's all take a break!"
From the beginning, Lu Ping had guessed that Tian Cheng Laozu must have a deeper meaning for suddenly wanting him to cultivate the Samling Fire Source Elixir. At this time, the competition for the battle points rankings was at its most intense. The Yuwen family and the Ziyang Palace had one victory and one defeat in the battle against the Mara army. This was the time when the heirs of the various sects were fighting for the battle points. Now that he was being sent to cultivate elixirs, it was obvious that he was giving up his position at the top of the rankings to someone else.
Was this not the sect's method of "suppressing" him?
However, Lu Ping also knew that this was actually a form of protection from the sect. Of course, even though Zhenling had considered this for the sake of the entire sect, Lu Ping happened to have some other ideas in the past few days. In particular, the Heavenly Demon that besieged the Yuwen family had suddenly appeared on the battlefield at the Ziyang Palace. Although it seemed like nothing on the surface, because of the reminder from the Longhuai Ancestor, Lu Ping could not help but suspect the Yuwen family. He could take this opportunity to rest for a while and take a look at the current situation of the various sects on the battlefield at the Nine Mystical Tower.
The Longhuai Ancestor had only traveled in the Central Plains for a few years and was able to discover the problem with the Yuwen family. Although the Longhuai Ancestor might know some secrets that had disappeared since the beginning of the world, if the Longhuai Ancestor could know about them, then the Six Holy Lands, such as the Ziyang Palace, which had a similarly long history, might also know about them.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping smiled and said, "That's good. This is also the first time this disciple has refined the Yuwen Fire Source Pill. This disciple is very curious about this pill that has never appeared in the cultivation world. However, to refine the Samling Fire Source Pill, in addition to a leaf of the Samling Five Elements Leaf as the main ingredient, many other rare spiritual herbs are needed. I'm afraid it will take a while to collect them."
Laozu did not expect Lu Ping to agree to stay and refine the pill so easily. Although he was surprised, he immediately threw a storage bag over and said, "The spiritual herbs inside were collected by the Old Man over the years. Some were taken from the sect's treasury. According to your previous instructions, this should be enough!"
Lu Ping took the storage bag and scanned it with his Divine Sense. There were still a lot of spiritual herbs inside. Tian Cheng Laozu really put in a lot of effort, so he smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. Originally, it would only take two or three days. However, this is the first time this disciple has refined this pill, so it will take at most five days."
Tian Cheng Laozu snorted coldly and said, "The Old Man has waited for decades. How long will it take?"
Lu Ping chuckled and did not speak, but he could still see the eagerness in Tian Cheng Laozu's eyes.
