Three days later, beside a river in the valley, Liao Hu's weakness caused by consuming the Spiritual Explosion Pill had recovered. Only his internal injuries still needed some time to heal.
Liao Hu took out a strange jade bottle from his storage pouch and poured out a milky white pill. After swallowing it, he began to cultivate. After a while, his pale face finally began to improve.
Liao Hu opened his eyes and looked at Lu Ping who was meditating at the side. He said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Lu Qi. I was able to overcome the weakness caused by consuming the Spiritual Explosion Pill in three days. It seems that Brother Lu Qi is also an alchemist, right?"
Lu Ping still had the appearance of a red-faced burly man. He smiled and said, "As expected of the Liao Clan of Golden Orange Island that is famous for their alchemy."
Liao Hu waved his hand and said, "Although my Liao Clan makes a living by alchemy, it is far from being famous in the North Sea. Even my father is only the only alchemist in the Liao Clan. The strength of the Liao Clan is still far from the strength of the alchemy pavilions of the major sects in the North Sea."
Lu Ping did not argue on this issue. Instead, he asked, "I've long heard that the Liao Clan has a kind of miraculous pill called the Heart Dissolving Pill. After consuming it, a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator can increase their cultivation by one level. I wonder if it is true?"
Liao Hu smiled and said, "Brother Lu Qi, don't tell me that you are also interested in my Heart Dissolving Pill like the Shui Yan Pavilion?"
Lu Ping said, "It would be a lie to say that I am not interested. However, according to the rules of alchemy, this kind of unique pill will never be passed down. It is mostly passed down by word of mouth. Therefore, even if the Shui Yan Pavilion kills Brother Liao, they will not be able to obtain the pill's recipe."
"Looks like Brother Lu Qi really is an alchemist. That's right, the pill recipe for the Dissolving Heart Pill is indeed not passed down. It's all recorded here." Liao Hu pointed at his own head and continued, "Also, alchemists have many secret arts that can prevent secret arts like Soul Searching and Soul Reading."
Lu Ping nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "I would like to ask for a Heart Dissolving Pill. Is that possible?"
Liao Hu smiled and said, "Brother Lu Qi has saved my life, so it's only right for me to repay you with a Heart Dissolving Pill. However, this pill has always been in short supply in my Liao Clan. The most important reason for this is that the spirit herbs required to refine the Blood Dissolving Pill are extremely rare and only grow in a few places like the Seven Star Skies. Thus, it takes a very long time to gather the spirit herbs required to refine a batch of pills. This is also the reason why I entered the Seven Star Skies."
Lu Ping nodded as if he understood something and said, "Why did Brother Liao go against the cultivators from the Misty Water Pavilion again? Although the Misty Water Pavilion is a large sect in the North Sea, the Golden Orange Island's Liao Clan is also a reputable force in the North Sea. Isn't the Misty Water Pavilion afraid of being criticized by the sects in the North Sea for being so overbearing?"
Liao Hu smiled unnaturally and said, "I don't know where the Misty Water Pavilion got the news from, but they said that other than the Blood Dissolving Pill, our Liao Clan also has a secret Heart Dissolving Pill that has a similar effect as the Heart Dissolving Pill. It can increase one's cultivation by one level, but the target is a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master."
Lu Ping took a deep breath and said, "If this news is true, then your clan will be in trouble!"
The Heart Dissolving Pill was only a Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pill after all. If there really was a medicinal pill that could increase the cultivation of a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master out of thin air, it could be imagined that the Liao Clan's Golden Orange Island would be trampled by the Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters of the North Sea in a short period of time. This kind of medicinal pill that could break the balance of power in the North Sea absolutely couldn't appear in a single force, let alone a small force.
Liao Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that so? This time, I entered the Seven Star Celestial Palace alone and was surrounded by He Lixin from the Misty Water Pavilion. She asked me about the Heart Dissolving Pill's recipe, and I naturally denied it with all my strength. However, those three people would rather kill the wrong person than let them go. Left with no choice, I could only fight with them and escape with heavy injuries. Brother Lu knows what happened after that."
Lu Ping knew that there were many things that Liao Hu didn't explain clearly. There were many flaws and loopholes in the story, and Liao Hu was obviously hiding something.
Lu Ping didn't expose him and asked, "Brother Liao, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to continue gathering spiritual herbs for the Heart Dissolving Pill?"
Liao Hu nodded helplessly and said, "Yes. This time, there are also a few cultivators from my Liao Clan who entered the Seven Star Celestial Palace. I have to meet up with them as soon as possible. I'm worried that they will encounter the same situation as me."
Liao Hu adjusted his breathing and took out a jade tablet from his storage pouch. One side was engraved with the word "Golden Orange", and the other side was engraved with the word "Liao". He handed it to Lu Ping and said, "Brother Lu, please accept this jade tablet. After Brother Lu leaves the Seven Star Celestial Palace, you can use this jade tablet to go to the Golden Orange Island's Liao Clan and obtain a Heart Dissolving Pill. However, after taking the Heart Dissolving Pill, Brother Lu will need to go into seclusion for a period of time to completely absorb and calm down the medicinal effects of the pill. This way, your cultivation won't skyrocket and cause your foundation to become unstable."
Lu Ping accepted the jade tablet and thanked Liao Hu. Liao Hu was worried about the other disciples of the Liao Clan who entered the Seven Star Celestial Palace, so he took his leave.
After talking with Liao Hu for the past few days, Lu Ping found out that after the opening of the Seven Star Celestial Palace, the number of human and demon cultivators who entered the Seven Star Celestial Palace far exceeded the previous times. Although there were many spiritual herbs and spiritual herbs in the Seven Star Celestial Palace, and the cultivators who died in the Seven Star Celestial Palace in the past also left behind many treasures, there shouldn't be so many cultivators in the Seven Star Celestial Palace. After all, in order to pass through the Seven Star Celestial Palace, one must have a talisman made by the Dharma Adept Laozu, and each talisman could only protect three to five people passing through the Seven Star Celestial Palace. Unless it was necessary, why would Laozu's talismans be given to Blood Condensation juniors? Those were treasures that even Enlightened Masters coveted.
On this day, Lu Ping had just climbed over a huge mountain when suddenly, a powerful aura surged from the opposite side of the mountain. The spiritual energy in the surroundings gathered towards the middle of the mountain, and the weather within a radius of a mile suddenly changed. First, a strong wind blew, snapping all kinds of vegetation. Then, the surrounding water vapor gathered towards the middle of the mountain, forming a thick dark cloud. Not long after, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Hail and heavy rain poured down, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a blizzard. The rainwater on the ground turned the entire mountain into an ice mountain, shining brightly.
An invisible force pressed towards Lu Ping. Lu Ping was very familiar with this kind of aura. It was the divine sense of a Core Forging Enlightened Master that could cause such an effect.
"Hahaha … After cultivating for more than two hundred years, I've finally formed a Golden Core!" The middle of the mountain suddenly burst open, revealing a big hole. An old man in his fifties with a long beard floated in the air, looking up to the sky and laughing. He looked at Lu Ping who was standing on the opposite side of the mountain, as if he wanted to say something, but a white light had already surrounded the old man. After the white light burst, the old man's figure disappeared from the air.
Lu Ping knew that after the old man broke through to the Core Forging Stage, his magic power had skyrocketed and exceeded the limit of the Seven Star Sky, so he was teleported out of the Seven Star Sky.
Only a moment had passed since the old man broke through to the Core Forging Stage. Lu Ping suddenly thought of something and quickly ran towards the cave where the old man had gone into seclusion.
