Lu Ping looked at the other three. One was a handsome and elegant young man dressed like a young scholar; the other made Lu Ping frown. Lu Ping knew this person, it was the arrogant young man who came to ask Lu Ping for a Millennium Spirit Grass after Lu Ping returned from Fei Ling Island. After not seeing him for a few years, this young man seemed to have matured a lot. Thinking about this young man's background in Zhenling's Alchemy Pavilion, other than his own Master, one of the remaining four Enlightened Masters must be an Alchemy Grandmaster of the Sect.
At this time, the arrogant young man obviously also recognized Lu Ping. His expression also changed, then as if remembering something, he looked at Enlightened Master Liu Xuanling who was sitting in the center of the hall, gritted his teeth, and his expression returned to normal.
The third person's age was similar to Lu Ping, maybe even a little younger, but his face and eyes were full of hardships. Obviously, he had experienced a lot. Lu Ping also felt a murderous aura from him. His whole body was like an unsheathed sword, cold and stern, making people not dare to approach him.
Including Lu Ping himself, the cultivators outside the hall suddenly found that these four people had a common characteristic, they were all young! In terms of age, Lu Ping was probably the oldest.
Everyone came to a realization. No wonder two late Core Forging Enlightened Masters came out to recruit disciples. Even Enlightened Master Xuan Jing and Enlightened Master Xuan Huai, one was an Alchemy Grandmaster of the Alchemy Pavilion, and the other was a Vice Hall Enlightened Master of the Puppet Hall. It turned out that these four people were here to recruit geniuses.
The crowd was talking among themselves, obviously looking forward to what kind of gifts the four people could offer.
The middle-aged scholar who had just finished "resting" shouted loudly, "Disciple of Enlightened Master Xuan Huai, Ji Zixuan, offers gifts!"
The cultivator who looked like a handsome young master smiled at Lu Ping and the others, then walked up to Reverend Xuan Huai, bowed, and said, "I heard that Teacher has been collecting the puppet-making literature that was passed down from the time when Fei Ling Sect was destroyed. I was fortunate enough to trade for a puppet making jade slip from a Senior Brother who had just returned from Fei Ling Island. I have come to offer it to Teacher."
Spiritual Master Xuan Huai was delighted to hear this and said, "Oh, let me see it!" There was a hint of eagerness in his expression.
Ji Zixuan respectfully handed over a greyish-black jade slip. Daoist Master Xuan Huai took it and impatiently probed it with his divine sense.
A moment later, Daoist Master Xuan Huai stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Good, good! It is one of the Puppet Inheritance Jade Slips that the Old Man needs. With this Jade Slip, the Old Man can save three years of research and exploration! "
When the audience heard Master Daoist Xuan Huai's laughter, they all praised in unison, "Good!" They also applauded enthusiastically.
Ji Zixuan bowed slightly and retreated to Daoist Master Xuan Huai's side.
The middle-aged scholar shouted again, "Daoist Master Xuan Jing's disciple, Tao Zifang, presents the gift of apprenticeship!"
Tao Zifang, the arrogant teenager from back then, looked at Lu Ping provocatively, then walked up to Daoist Master Xuan Jing with his head held high. After bowing to Daoist Master Xuan Jing, he reached out to his waist and took out a milky-white jade bottle.
Lu Ping observed carefully from the side. There was no storage pouch on Tao Zifang's waist, only a black jade belt. It was probably a storage belt.
Tao Zifang said, "Master, these are the three Blood Condensing Pills disciple has successfully refined a few days ago. The first and second batch produced three pills each, and the third batch produced four pills. This is an entire bottle of Blood Condensing Pills. At the same time, disciple has officially become an alchemist."
This time, Daoist Master Xuan Jing didn't need to say anything. The surrounding cultivators exclaimed in surprise. The difficulty of refining Blood Condensing Pills was comparable to that of a Late Blood Condensation cultivator. Tao Zifang was already an alchemist at such a young age. Obviously, he would be heavily nurtured by the sect. His future was limitless.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, felt a little helpless. Tao Zifang was the alchemy genius, yet he managed to refine three pills in his first batch. Lu Ping remembered that when he refined his first batch of Blood Condensing Pills, he had already described it as a miracle. This was because before this, no matter what kind of pill Lu Ping refined, he would always fail on his first batch!
Daoist Master Xuan Jing's face was also glowing. He smiled and said, "I still need to continue training. The success rate needs to be increased."
Although he didn't say any obvious words of praise, anyone with a discerning eye could see from Daoist Master Xuan Jing's expression that he was very satisfied.
Tao Zifang respectfully acknowledged, but he still had a proud expression on his face. He glanced in the direction of Lu Ping, the cold youth, and Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan was still smiling, but Lu Ping didn't seem to notice. Only the cold youth gave a slight "humph".
Just at this time, the middle-aged scholar's voice rang out again, "Daoist Master Black Yin's disciple, Yin Zichu, presents the apprenticeship gift!"
Yin Zichu was the cold youth. He walked forward and bowed to Daoist Master Black Yin. Daoist Master Black Yin's eyes finally opened. He looked at Yin Zichu and said, "Is it done?"
Yin Zichu nodded. He took out a storage bag from his bosom and threw it on the ground. Immediately, the smell of blood filled the air.
The surrounding cultivators were in an uproar. Tao Zifang frowned in disgust. Ji Zixuan only wrinkled his nose. He was also somewhat sensitive to the smell of blood, but his expression was still calm. Lu Ping, on the other hand, had an expression of indifference.
There were a total of three demon beast corpses on the ground. Lu Ping could tell at a glance that these three demon beasts were killed by the flying sword in a short period of time. The way Lu Ping looked at the cold youth suddenly changed. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
At this time, a cultivator who recognized the three demon beasts said, "Silver Shark, Flowery Flower Snake, and Feather Eagle. These three demon beasts were all in the Late Blood Condensation Realm. This Silver Shark was even at the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. The Feather Eagle is also known for its fast speed!"
Another cultivator said, "This Junior Martial Brother Yin Zichu's cultivation is only at the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm!"
A more knowledgeable cultivator added, "From the looks of it, each demon beast was killed within ten moves!"
"When did the gap between the Late Blood Condensation and Mid Blood Condensation Realm become so easy to bridge?!"
Everyone was talking at once, but every time they said a sentence, the surrounding cultivators would cheer. When the cultivators clearly explained the information of the three demon beasts on the ground, the cultivators were already applauding and cheering!
Lu Ping, on the other hand, was able to glean more accurate information from the battle. Yin Zichu didn't even use more than seven moves to kill the three monster beasts, instead of ten moves as everyone thought.
Master Mysterious Yin still had a deadpan expression on his face. He only nodded and said, "Not bad!"
Yin Zichu moved to the side and kept the demon beast corpses. He stood beside Master Mysterious Yin, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. The middle-aged scholar cleaned it up casually.
At this time, only Lu Ping had not presented his gift yet. The crowd looked at Lu Ping and whispered to each other. At this time, everyone had already noticed that the first three disciples were competing with each other when presenting their gifts. Even the Enlightened Masters were interested. They wanted to know what was so special about this last disciple that made Liu Xuanling, one of the "Three Truths and Four Spirits" of the Zhenling Sect, personally come out to accept him as his disciple.
The middle-aged scholar coughed unnaturally. Obviously, he was affected by the atmosphere. When he saw his teacher, Master Mysterious Miao, looking at him, he quickly said, "Master Liu Xuanling's disciple, Lu Ping, presents his gift!"
Lu Ping, on the other hand, was no longer nervous. He walked forward, bowed, and took out a jade bottle. "This disciple was lucky enough to obtain a pill recipe a few days ago. I refined this bottle of Miracle Face Retaining Pill. I wish Master eternal youth!"
Silence!
The crowd was confused. After a while, someone whispered to each other, "What is this Miracle Face Retaining Pill? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Never heard of it. As the name suggests, it should be related to maintaining one's appearance, right?"
"Then it should be similar to the Appearance Stabilizing Pill and Beauty Pill, right?"
"The Appearance Stabilizing Pill can maintain one's appearance for ten years, while the Beauty Pill can only maintain one's appearance for five years. These two Miracle Face Retaining Pills are equivalent to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm, while the other is equivalent to the Early Blood Condensation Realm. It's not bad compared to the Miracle Face Retaining Pill. After all, Master Liu Xuanling is a female.
"However, no matter if it's the Appearance Stabilizing Pill or the Beauty Pill, they will eventually lose their effectiveness if consumed too much. When that happens, one will not be able to maintain one's appearance and beauty anymore."
The crowd still applauded and cheered, but it was not as enthusiastic as the previous three disciples. The crowd was still a little disappointed.
After everyone applauded, Master Liu Xuanling did not say any words of encouragement. Could it be that Master Liu was dissatisfied and felt embarrassed?
Everyone looked at Lu Ping with pity in their eyes, only to find that Master Liu Xuanling was happily playing with Lu Ping's Jade Crystal Bottle in her hand. She even opened the bottle and sniffed the fragrance of the pill inside. The other three female Enlightened Masters were also looking at the Jade Crystal Bottle in Master Liu's hand eagerly.
Other than that, the other Enlightened Masters on the stage were also looking at Lu Ping strangely. Even Tao Zifang was glaring at Lu Ping indignantly. Clearly, he knew something that the others did not.
The crowd was stunned. Was there something wrong?
"He's using a Jade Crystal Bottle!" A cultivator finally made a new discovery.
"Could it be that he's concocting a Core Forging Realm pill?"
"Such a young Alchemy Master? It can't be, right? "
The crowd started discussing again, and the momentum was getting louder and louder. The middle-aged scholar was at a loss of what to do.
Master Profound Miao saw that the crowd was getting out of control and coughed loudly. The crowd felt as if a clap of thunder had exploded in their ears, and they immediately shut their mouths.
Master Profound Miao stood up and said slowly, "Youth Retaining Pill, a pill that can preserve one's appearance for thirty years. It's made from a mixture of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and 500-year-old spiritual materials. It's a type of Blood Condensation Realm pill and Core Forging Realm pill. Cultivators who can concoct this type of pill are usually called Alchemy Masters!"
The crowd listened to Master Profound Miao's brief explanation, and after a long time, someone suddenly said, "A Fifth Layer Blood Condensation Realm Alchemy Master in his twenties!"
This bottle of pill could preserve one's appearance for three hundred years! How long was the lifespan of a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master? Five hundred to eight hundred years.
Tao Zifang's facial muscles twitched. "He's really an Alchemy Master. This guy must be targeting me on purpose. This is revenge!"
The crowd was still silent. There was no applause or cheering. They only looked at Lu Ping with admiration. From their gazes, Lu Ping could only read one word — monster!
