There were only two months left before the closing of the Dao Altar world!
Lu Ping had been fortunate enough to capture three clear thoughts of splitting the heavens during the past six months of cultivation. Compared to the three thoughts of splitting the heavens that Lu Ping had captured in just a few days after entering the Dao Altar world, Lu Ping's luck was clearly much worse.
Perhaps it was because Lu Ping was too focused on cultivation and spent most of his divine thoughts helping to sort out his blood and qi, so he might have inadvertently missed many opportunities. Moreover, the three thoughts of splitting the heavens that Lu Ping had captured did not seem to have much enlightenment for Lu Ping. Compared to the three thoughts of splitting the heavens that he had captured before, the difference was like heaven and earth.
One of the three thoughts was the voice of a female cultivator. She spoke a few words about the cultivation of spirit herbs. It seemed that it came from the stone chime that the Luan Daoist was sitting on.
Although Lu Ping had some expertise in the cultivation of spirit herbs, he could not comprehend anything from these simple words.
It was a pity that the few Dharma Manifestation Stage wood phoenixes that Lu Ping had recently received could not enter the Dao Altar world. Otherwise, if they had heard the words of the Luan Daoist, they might have immediately regarded them as treasures. Moreover, their cultivation of spirit herbs would immediately usher in leaps and bounds.
However, Lu Ping still memorized the few words of the Luan Daoist. Without the Luan Daoist's original explanation, it would have lacked that kind of sudden enlightenment. When the time came, he would give these words to the wood phoenixes to comprehend on their own. He did not know how much of the essence they would be able to figure out.
The other thought of splitting the heavens that Lu Ping had captured should have come from Ape Daoist. The voice spoke very quickly and seemed to be a little impatient. Perhaps it was because the cultivators listening to him could not understand his method of speech, so he had to explain with a trace of impatience.
"Well, these words should be explaining the cultivation secrets of a type of staff technique. Moreover, many of these secrets do not correspond to the type of staff technique explained by Ape Daoist. Instead, they seem to be common to most staff techniques!"
Naturally, Lu Ping wasn't proficient in staff techniques. This kind of technique had almost become the symbol of the Wise Ape Clan. If these words were given to the Wise Ape Clan, they would probably be treasured and kept as an important heritage of the clan.
Lu Ping had some friendship with the third generation Yao Cultivator of the Wise Apes, Yuan Long. The two had discussed methods together for many days and were quite impressed by each other's cultivation achievements. Most of Lu Ping's dabbling in staff techniques came from that time. If he could give these words of Ape Daoist to Yuan Long in the future, he would definitely earn a big favour from the boy.
The third thought that Lu Ping had captured was more or less useful to Lu Ping. This should have come from Ape Daoist's divine sense. It was actually talking about the extremely rare technique of alchemy, the External Pill Transformation.
Although this pill externalization technique was rooted in the absolute proficiency of an alchemist in the refining process of a certain kind of elixir, the occurrence of this phenomenon was mostly related to luck. Even most alchemists who mastered a certain kind of elixir externalization secret technique didn't know the reason for mastering this elixir secret technique.
Therefore, whenever an Alchemist accidentally grasped the technique of forming a pill outside of a pill while refining a certain pill, it would be known as the Alchemist's fortune, and this pill would also be known as the Alchemist's Fortune Pill.
Speaking of which, Lu Ping himself had mastered the External Pill Transformation technique. Not long after Lu Ping had become an alchemy grandmaster, he had unintentionally refined twelve Blood Condensing Pills while demonstrating alchemy to the disciples of Zhen Ling Side Hall. Thus, the Blood Condensing Pills became Lu Ping's Fortune Pill.
As a direct result of this incident, half of Zhenling's Blood Condensing Pill refining task fell on Lu Ping's shoulders. Even after Lu Ping had become a Grandmaster Alchemist and become one of the best alchemists in the cultivation world, Fornax Laozu still did not lower the responsibility of Lu Ping's Blood Condensing Pill refining task.
However, Taoist Gui's spiritual power didn't explain the reason for this phenomenon. Instead, he listed the names of the thirteen types of natural spirit fires in an uncertain tone. He then said that alchemists who used the thirteen types of natural spirit fires seemed to be more likely to have this phenomenon in the process of pill concoction, but the probability of this phenomenon was only slightly higher. Other types of natural spirit fires might also have this phenomenon, but compared with the thirteen types of natural spirit fires, the probability of this phenomenon was slightly lower.
Lu Ping memorized the names of these thirteen types of natural fires. Among them, only one was of the Black Grade, which was none other than the Blue Spirit Fire, the high-grade Black Grade fire that Lu Ping had used before. Back then, when Lu Ping concocted the Blood Condensing Pill, he had used the Blue Spirit Fire!
When he saw the Blue Spirit Fire, Lu Ping, who had been skeptical before, instantly believed Taoist Gui's speculation. He promised himself that when he returned to the sect, he would definitely ask the Pill Pavilion to collect as many natural fires as possible according to these thirteen types of natural fires as possible.
These thirteen types of natural fires were all suitable for refining pills. Therefore, even if Taoist Gui's speculation was wrong, Ji Hao wouldn't lose anything. However, once his speculation was correct, Zhenling would have a few more alchemists who had mastered the External Pill Transformation technique. Over time, Zhenling would be able to save a considerable amount of cultivation resources.
Among the thirteen types of natural fires, except for the Blue Spirit Fire, which was of the Black Grade, among the other twelve types of natural fires, six were of the Earth Grade, one was of the Low Grade, three were of the Earth Grade, and two were of the Earth Grade. Unfortunately, Lu Ping had only heard of these six types of natural fires. Five were of the Heaven Grade, two were of the Low Grade, one was of the Heaven Grade, and two were of the Heaven Grade. Unfortunately, Lu Ping had never owned any of these five types of natural fires.
Apart from the Blue Spirit Fire, there was also a special type of natural fire. This type of fire could grow by devouring other types of natural fires, and as its grade increased, the flame of this type of fire would grow larger as well. With every grade, the flame would grow larger by one inch, which was why this type of fire was called the Few Inches Spirit Fire.
This strange fire was none other than the exotic fire in Lu Ping's hand. When Lu Ping caught this fire when it first appeared on Scarlet Mist Island, it was only a four-inch flame of the Earth Grade. Later, after devouring several types of natural fires, it had grown into a six-inch flame of the Earth Grade, the High Grade.
He didn't expect that this type of fire could easily transform pills into pills in the process of alchemy, and Taoist Gui emphasized that this type of fire had the highest possibility of transforming pills into pills. Back then, Taoist Gui had cultivated a one-inch flame of the Heaven Grade, the Nine Inches Spirit Fire into the High Grade, the Heaven Grade. During the process of this spirit fire's growth, Taoist Gui often used this spirit fire to refine pills. In the end, Taoist Gui alone mastered the External Pill Transformation technique for seven types of pills!
Lu Ping's heart was burning with excitement!
All along, Lu Ping knew that this type of spirit fire had a very high success rate in concocting medicinal pellets of the same grade as the other spirit flames. But Lu Ping was reluctant to feed the spirit fire to the spirit fire to improve its grade. Also, Lu Ping had the Silver Spirit Fire that had a very high success rate in concocting medicinal pellets. Hence, he only nurtured the spirit fire to the Earth-grade high-grade six-inch spirit fire.
But now, it seemed that compared to the External Pill Transformation Pill that appeared on several kinds of high-grade Spirit Pills, losing a few decent Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires to increase its grade didn't seem so painful!
After sorting out what he had gained from this round of closed-door training, Lu Ping spread his Divine Will out in all directions to see if anyone was hiding. Only then did he realize that the past six months of training had increased Lu Ping's Divine Will once again. His Divine Will could now cover a radius of 13 miles.
This place was already deep in the area where late Dharma adepts could descend. The Divine Will of adepts had been compressed to one-tenth of its original strength, which meant that under normal circumstances, Lu Ping's Divine Will could cover a radius of 30 miles.
When Lu Ping had entered the world of the Dao altar, he had been guided by Jiao Daoren's will. His Divine Will had achieved a breakthrough and increased to 60 miles in one go. He had originally thought that this would be a bottleneck, but he didn't expect that after six months of closed-door training, his Divine Will had once again expanded to 10 miles.
The auspicious clouds that covered a radius of a mile all converged into a small flag in Lu Ping's hand. Then, circles of white spirit light appeared on the ground and shrank toward the center. Finally, under Lu Ping's feet, it formed a white jade lotus the size of a washbasin and disappeared into Lu Ping's core space.
Lu Ping smiled at a pile of dirt on the left and said, "Junior Brother Yin, your secret technique of concealment has improved greatly again."
Behind a three-foot-tall mound about 50 to 60 feet away, Yin Tianchu's figure gradually appeared. His expression was very ugly as he said, "Senior Brother, please don't make fun of me. Just like last time, you saw through me with just one look!"
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "If it was before we entered the Dao Altar's world, it would've been extremely difficult for Junior Martial Brother Yin to discover your presence with your current Art of Concealment. But after half a year in the Dao Altar's world, Junior Martial Brother Yin, although you've improved tremendously, my Divine Sense has also experienced a breakthrough. Hence, I can see through your Art of Concealment again!"
Yin Tianchu nodded, and his expression became a little better.
Lu Ping could see that Yin Tianchu had not only made great progress in his secret technique of concealment, but also that his aura, which was unstable because he had just broken through to the mid Dharma stage not long ago, had been stabilized after more than half a year of hard work. Furthermore, his cultivation had also improved significantly. It seemed that he had gained a lot in the world of the Dao altar.
"Did you receive the message I sent before I went into seclusion? How are Uncle Tiancheng and the other two early Dharma adepts?"
Although the news of the five great adepts joining forces to seek revenge in the world of the Dao altar had been spread randomly by Lu Ping using 30 to 40 different communication tools, Lu Ping had specially sent Yin Tianchu and the other Zhenling adepts a few secret talismans from his sect, informing them of the cause of the matter. This was to prevent the five great adepts from venting their anger on the other adepts of the sect if they could not find him.
