Lu Ping had received great benefits. He knew that if it wasn't for his teacher appearing, an ordinary cultivator would only receive special protection from the sect if they offered the golden nuts. They wouldn't receive a treasure restriction or a pill recipe as a reward.
Lu Ping was grateful. After thinking for a moment, he took out six more golden nuts and said, "This disciple still has a few remaining golden nuts. Since these fruits are very useful for cultivators to strengthen their bodies, this disciple will not offer them to the sect and forget teacher's principles."
Daoist Liu looked at the golden nuts in Lu Ping's hand and his eyes lit up. He chuckled and said, "You're really smart. These golden nuts are indeed very useful to me. Say it, what do you want? Although I can't compare to our sect's Laozu, I will not let my disciple suffer a loss."
Lu Ping quickly waved his hand and said, "It's natural for a disciple to be filial to his teacher. There is no reason for me to ask for benefits from teacher."
Daoist Liu smiled and said, "How can there be a teacher who covets the treasures in the hands of a disciple? Fine, since you won't say it, I will give you another treasure restriction. This treasure restriction is also of the water attribute. It can complement the treasure restriction from before and can be used to improve your life magic treasure in the future. It's also not bad to use it to refine other magic treasures. "
Lu Ping looked at the two more treasure restrictions in his hand and asked in confusion, "Magic treasures can also be improved with different treasure restrictions?"
Lu Ping knew that this was the time for his teacher to explain to him. Once he didn't understand something, he would immediately ask. Sure enough, Daoist Liu patiently explained, "Magic treasures are different from magic tools. The more restrictions there are in a magic tool, the more powerful it will be. It's the opposite for magic treasures. It's best to use one type of treasure restriction only once. The power of magic treasures with two same restrictions is far less than the power of magic treasures with two different restrictions."
Daoist Master Liu paused, organized his words, and then said: "The power of a magic treasure depends on two aspects. One is naturally the embryo of a magic treasure, which is the quality of a top grade magic treasure. The higher the quality, the more restrictions can be superimposed. The second is the type of restriction that can be superimposed. When a magic treasure reaches the top, it can superimpose nine different restrictions, but the vast majority of magic treasures can't reach this level."
Lu Ping thought back to the [Herb Pounding Pestle] mystic treasure he obtained, which was a combination of two identical seals. It seemed like the [Herb Pounding Pestle] wasn't a good mystic treasure, but its power was already astounding. He wondered how powerful it would be if it was combined with nine different seals.
On this trip to the Seven Star Sky, besides obtaining a large number of treasures, Lu Ping's cultivation had also improved significantly. Lu Ping asked Daoist Liu about the problems he had encountered during his cultivation. Daoist Liu answered them in detail and told Lu Ping everything he needed to pay attention to in cultivation. Lu Ping felt that he had benefited a lot. When Lu Ping said goodbye to Zhonghua Palace, more than half a day had passed.
After returning to Huang Li Island, Lu Ping cultivated while preparing to refine the Golden Grade Pill and the Heart Dissolving Pill. At the same time, he told Fang Tao to pay attention to the news of the Demon Realm, especially the news of the North Sea Alliance attacking the Demon Realm.
The difficulty of refining the Adamantine Pill and the Dissolving Heart Pill was undoubtedly higher than that of a half-step Core Forging Pill like the Youth Halting Pill. The Youth Halting Pill only required five types of thousand-year-old spirit herbs, while the other five hundred-year-old spirit herbs required more than twenty. Moreover, these spirit herbs were common in the cultivation world.
The Golden Grade Pill required a total of 36 kinds of spirit herbs. Among them, 12 were thousand-year-old spirit herbs. The remaining five hundred year spirit herbs were also rare. If not for Lu Ping's trip to the Golden Fallen Valley, it would have been difficult to gather them. Even so, Lu Ping only managed to gather six batches of spirit herbs.
The Heart Dissolving Pill was even more difficult. Lu Ping looked at the spirit herbs listed in the pill recipe and almost gave up. Refining the Heart Dissolving Pill required a total of 49 kinds of spirit herbs. Among them, 24 were thousand-year-old spirit herbs. This was comparable to refining a Core Forging Realm pill.
Generally speaking, one of the requirements to reach the Core Forging Realm was to have 27 kinds of thousand-year-old spirit herbs in the pill recipe. The difficulty of refining the Heart Dissolving Pill was no less than refining a Core Forging Realm pill.
Lu Ping used up more than half of the thousand-year-old spirit herbs he collected in the Golden Fallen Valley. Finally, he barely managed to gather enough spirit herbs to refine the Heart Dissolving Pill for three batches.
Lu Ping finally understood why the Liao Clan would venture deep into the Golden Fallen Valley to collect spirit herbs every time the Seven Star Sky opened.
Naturally, he had to start with the easiest medicinal pellets. Each cauldron of Golden Resilience Pellets would take about two days to concoct, and each cauldron would require two golden nuts as the main ingredient. Lu Ping's first cauldron of Golden Resilience Pellets didn't go smoothly due to his unfamiliarity with the process. Two days later, Lu Ping took out a single golden pellet from the cauldron that smelled like charcoal.
Lu Ping took a deep breath and encouraged himself, "Not bad, I thought we'd all fail again. Who would've thought we'd be able to succeed?"
Lu Ping carefully recalled the refining process. Besides being unskilled and limited by Lu Ping's own alchemy level, the biggest shortcoming was the process of condensing and purifying the pill. During this process, an alchemist needed to purify the spirit liquid and remove as much impurities as possible from the spirit herbs. This would improve the quality of the pill and increase the success rate of the pill.
Compared to the thousand-year-old spirit herbs, the impurities in the thousand-year-old spirit herbs were naturally less, but it also meant that the impurities were more difficult to remove.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that when he helped Chen Lian upgrade "Landslide" to a top level magic tool, he used the "Spirit Fire Smelting Purification Technique". A bold idea suddenly appeared in Lu Ping's mind.
He didn't know if this purification technique was feasible in alchemy. Thinking of it, Lu Ping immediately began to refine the second batch of pills.
This was also because Lu Ping had enough golden nuts in his hands. If he let Fa Xiang Laozu find out that Lu Ping actually used the Golden Energy Pill, whose value was no less than a Core Forging Stage pill, to experiment on alchemy, and also used a refining method, who knew if Laozu would slap Lu Ping to death.
The first time was always accompanied by failure. During the process of condensing and purifying the Golden Energy Pill, Lu Ping directly absorbed the power of the Blue Spiritual Fire to purify the impurities in the thousand-year-old spirit herbs. However, he was unable to control the temperature, and directly vaporized the spirit liquid of the spirit herbs.
Even so, the second batch of pills still brought Lu Ping a Golden Energy Pill.
Lu Ping was overjoyed. It seemed that this method would work. However, it required more precise control of the Blue Spiritual Fire, and the requirements for Divine Sense were undoubtedly higher.
After discovering a new method, Lu Ping was in high spirits. He tirelessly threw himself into refining the third batch of Golden Energy Pills. He knew that as long as he completely grasped the application of this purification technique in alchemy, his alchemy skills would undoubtedly reach a higher level.
During the third purification, only a quarter of the spirit liquid evaporated, and Lu Ping obtained two Golden Energy Pills. During the fourth batch, Lu Ping finally completely grasped the purification technique. The spirit liquid did not evaporate, and three Golden Energy Pills were produced.
With Lu Ping's continuous refining, in addition to the application of the purification technique, his understanding of the Golden Energy Pill also deepened. During the fifth batch, Lu Ping finally reached a success rate of 40%. When the sixth batch of pills was successfully refined, Lu Ping looked at the four Golden Energy Pills inside and knew that this was the limit of his current alchemy skills.
Fifteen Golden Energy Pills. Because the box of golden nuts was obtained by Lu Ping with the help of Yin Zichu and Ji Zixuan, Lu Ping planned to give five to each of them after they returned from Golden Flood Dragon Island.
