Lu Ping obviously realized that the Li family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There was also a mysterious force supporting him, and this mysterious force was obviously not on good terms with the Northern Alliance or the Crystal Palace. The underground trade fair incident not only suppressed the arrogance of the Wang family and the Crystal Palace, but also changed the weak state of the Li family on San Jia Island. They also schemed against the two giants of the East Sea, the Crystal Palace and the Northern Alliance, causing the two families to have a face-to-face conflict.
Perhaps the reason was because of the Crystal Palace. Lu Ping seemed to think of something. Through Lu Ping's understanding, before the Crystal Palace cultivators entered the Wang family, the Wang family and the Li family joined forces to resist the Zhang family in San Jia Island. But first, the Li family's eldest daughter removed the Crystal Palace's secret stronghold on Ma Jia Island. Then, the Crystal Palace cultivators came to San Jia Island to investigate the disappearance of the Crystal Palace cultivators in the sea near San Jia Island. After the Wang family and the Crystal Palace got close, the trade fair broke out. The Crystal Palace cultivators were expelled and the Wang family was suppressed.
Throughout the whole incident, Lu Ping finally noticed a clue. The mysterious force behind the Li family was against the Crystal Palace. As for provoking the Northern Alliance, suppressing the Wang family, and improving the Li family's position on San Jia Island, these things were just incidental to a series of plans against the Crystal Palace.
In the face of the game between these forces, Lu Ping knew that these things were far from what he could participate in now. The only thing Lu Ping wanted to do now was to refine a seven-step marked pill and then stay away from these things. The East Sea was far richer and broader than the North Sea. Since he accidentally came to the East Sea, he naturally had to take a look.
Lu Ping had already concocted Half-Step Core Forging Realm medicinal pellets several times. Although the medicinal pellets he concocted this time were no weaker than Core Forging Realm medicinal pellets, he was still confident that he could concoct a Seven-Step Mark Pellet with each cauldron.
However, Li Maolin had already stated that Lu Ping only needed to refine one of the two furnaces' worth of medicinal pellets. Although Li Maolin had doubts about Lu Ping's alchemy skills and was pretending to be magnanimous, Lu Ping could still use this statement to claim the extra Seven-Step Mark Pellets for himself.
Because of Li Maolin's words, Lu Ping tried every possible way to delay the time of alchemy and refine the Spirit Expansion Pill, which strengthened Lu Ping's Divine Sense once again. Moreover, Lu Ping still had a treasure that he was reluctant to use. It was the Amethyst Royal Jelly that Ai Shutao gave him in the Seven Star Sky.
The Amethyst Royal Jelly was an extremely precious treasure in the eyes of alchemists. It was a precious spirit item used for alchemy. In the hands of an alchemy master, it could increase the success rate of Core Forging stage alchemy pills. Legend had it that it was also used to refine Dharma Phase alchemy pills. It was a treasure that alchemy masters and even alchemy grandmasters yearned for.
In the Li Family's alchemy room, only Lu Ping was left. Lu Ping recalled the process of refining the seven-step marked pill. Then, with a wave of his hand, he placed an array plate and a dozen array flags in the Li Family's alchemy room. After a while, Lu Ping disappeared from the alchemy room and was replaced by an impenetrable white fog.
Compared to the complex and huge protective array outside the Li Family's alchemy room, Lu Ping trusted the simple fog array plate that Hu Lili personally made.
At this moment, in the Li Family's living room, Li Maolin smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that this person is really cautious. This small fog array is not difficult to break, but once it is broken, it will be discovered by this person in advance."
Li Xiuzhu said, "Since this person has received father's promise, he is still so cautious. It is obvious that he is guarding against our Li Family. Could it be that he has some hidden methods?"
At this time, Chu Ting seemed to have already expected Lu Ping to be like this. She said, "Alchemists cherish their own alchemy skills. If I were refining pills for someone I am not familiar with, my defensive methods would be even stricter than this person's."
Li Xiuzhu said, "Then can we take advantage of the time he is refining pills and suddenly break in? If we do that, he won't be able to retrieve the fire seed he used to refine pills in time. At that time, it will be clear whether this person is the cultivator who used the Scarlet Nightmare Fire that Senior Sister Chu saw that day."
Chu Ting unhappily rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything. Li Maolin said in a low voice, "Don't mention this matter again. If we do that, then for an alchemist, our Li Family will become a mortal enemy. Alchemist Lu Jiu's identity has long been known by the cultivators of the Three Families Island. It has already attracted the attention of many people. Now that our Li Family's situation in the Three Families Island has just eased, the Zhang Clan and Wang Clan will soon be aware of the trade fair. Only if you quickly reach Core Forging stage can we reverse our Li Family's disadvantage in the Three Families Island."
Chu Ting thought for a moment and said, "Martial Uncle Li is right. Right now is the time for the Li Family to hide our strength and bide our time. It is indeed not good to attract too much attention. How about this, I will first refine a Seven Step Marked Pill for Junior Sister Li. I believe I will be able to refine at least two. If this person can also successfully refine one, then niece will try to break through to Core Forging stage here. Once successful, the Li Family will have two more Core Forging Enlightened Masters.
That should be enough to deter the forces of the Three Families Island. "Li Xiuzhu was overjoyed. Although Li Maolin was happy, he still cautiously said," Ting 'er, are you ready to condense your Gold Core? Condensing a Gold Core is no small matter. This concerns your future cultivation path. If your Master finds out that you are hastily condensing your Gold Core here, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to your Master. "
Chu Ting smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. I, your niece, have already made preparations to break through to Core Forging stage. It is only because Master has repeatedly emphasized that I need to consolidate my foundation and not rush to condense my Gold Core that I have been suppressing my cultivation. Now that Martial Nephew has mastered the Divine Sense Transformation Secret Technique, after advancing to Core Forging stage, my Divine Sense will increase by leaps and bounds. I have already accumulated enough, so I can break through at any time."
Hearing this, Li Maolin relaxed and hurriedly arranged an alchemy room for Chu Ting, preparing to refine a Seven Step Marked Pill.
Two days later, in the alchemy room arranged for Chu Ting, Li Maolin and Li Xiuzhu accompanied a hale and hearty old man as they looked in the direction of the alchemy room.
Li Maolin respectfully said to the old man next to him, "Father, it seems that Ting 'er really is a rare alchemy genius. The difficulty of refining a Seven Step Marked Pill is almost the same as refining a Core Forging stage pill. I didn't expect Ting' er to successfully refine it on her first try. Junior Sister Chu has a daughter like this …"
The old man snorted, interrupting Li Maolin's words, and said, "Is there still no movement from the other Alchemy Master's alchemy room?"
Li Maolin knew that he had just said the wrong thing, but Li Xiuzhu quickly followed up, "It seems that even if this person is an Alchemy Master, his alchemy skills can't be compared to Senior Sister Chu's. This person entered the alchemy room half a day earlier than Senior Sister Chu, but now there is no movement. Perhaps the two precious spirit grasses will be wasted by him. "
The old man kindly looked at his granddaughter, then turned to Li Maolin and said, "Regardless of whether this person can refine a Seven Step Marked Pill or not, our Li Family must treat him with respect and not neglect him."
Li Maolin respectfully complied, and the old man turned around and walked away. Li Xiuzhu's eyes turned and he quickly chased after the old man. It was unknown what he said to the old man, but the two of them chatted and laughed. Soon, they arrived at the depths of the Li Family Manor.
