"Northern Alliance Elixir Association?" Lu Ping looked at Li Maolin in surprise.
"That's right!" Li Maolin smiled at Lu Ping and explained, "The Northern Alliance has been established for thousands of years. In order to recruit talents and strengthen ourselves, we established this tradition. Every hundred years, when the Northern Alliance is established, we will hold a series of activities. The Northern Alliance Gathering is one of them."
"Senior Li, you want me to represent the Li Family?"
"Yes!" Li Maolin's eyes widened.
Lu Ping glanced at Li Xiuzhu and Chu Ting, who were sitting at the side. Seeing that they were looking at him, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss Chu has already advanced to the Core Forging Realm. Her alchemy skills should be enough to be called an Alchemy Grandmaster. Senior, why don't you let Miss Chu go?"
"About that?" Li Maolin looked at Chu Ting, as if he found it difficult to speak.
"Because I won't be participating in the Alchemy Association Gathering. As for the reason, I hope Brother Lu can forgive me. I can't tell you right now." Chu Ting explained to Lu Ping when she saw Li Maolin's expression.
Hearing Chu Ting's words, Li Maolin could only look at Lu Ping inquiringly.
Lu Ping thought for a moment. Since the Li Clan had activated the protective array formation and used the spirit vein's power to help him refine his natal mystic instrument, it would be a great favor to Lu Ping. Hence, he said, "Alright, I've been looking forward to witnessing such a grand scene. I believe it will also help me improve my alchemy skills."
Seeing Lu Ping agree, Li Maolin happily pushed the items on the table to Lu Ping and said, "Brother Lu, the Li Clan is grateful for your promise. Please accept these items." Lu Ping nodded.
Lu Ping didn't refuse and kept everything into his interspatial ring. Li Maolin had already introduced the items to him. There was a jade token for the Big Core Convention, an identity token for the Li Clan's guest elder, and a small interspatial pouch that contained a hundred 500-year spirit herbs and 500 mid-grade spirit stones used to concoct Late Blood Condensation medicinal pellets.
Spirit herbs and spirit stones were exactly what Lu Ping needed right now, especially spirit stones. Because of the trade fair and the Origin Chen Beads, in addition to the fact that Lu Ping had been sparing no effort in collecting spirit herbs, Lu Ping's wealth of more than 200,000 Origin Stones was almost depleted.
Seeing that Lu Ping had accepted the items, Li Maolin's expression relaxed. "My daughter and Martial Niece Chu will also be attending the Alchemy Conference. Although Martial Niece Chu won't be participating in the conference, she still has to go and enjoy the event."
Lu Ping nodded. This kind of large-scale competition and exchange between alchemists had a fatal attraction for every alchemist. Even if Chu Ting had already reached the level of an Alchemy Grandmaster, it was still the same.
There were still two years until the Alchemy Conference. Lu Ping planned to take this opportunity to travel outside. Two years later, he would directly meet Li Xiuzhu and Chu Ting at the venue of the Northern Alliance's Alchemy Conference, which was also the Northern Alliance's encampment, Qianyuan Island.
After leaving the Li Family's residence, Lu Ping directly returned to his cave abode. Previously, after Lu Ping had refined the Genchen Bead, he had prepared to leave San Family Island to travel. When he was about to return to his cave abode, he was stopped by Manager Li. When he arrived at the Li Family's manor, he finally understood the Li Family's intentions.
However, Lu Ping did not agree to it to repay the Li Family's favor. It was because Lu Ping had indeed developed a strong interest in this year's Alchemy Conference.
With a wave of his hand, the demonic beasts that were rolling around in the cave abode were kept in the spirit beast pouch. Dabao had long since woken up. Due to the spiritual energy wave caused by the two Core Forging Enlightened Masters' breakthroughs and Lu Ping's crazy act of crushing 90,000 spirit stones at the last moment, Dabao could be said to have benefited greatly. His cultivation had already stabilized to the Fourth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Lu Dagui's cultivation was still at the Fifth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. It was only a matter of time before he reached the Sixth Layer. Samling's cultivation could not be suppressed in the end, and both of them stepped into the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Under the influence of the spiritual energy wave, Lu Qin also broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
The improvement of his spiritual pets caused Lu Ping's strength to rise to the next level.
The three islands gradually disappeared into the distance. Lu Ping stood on Lu Dagui's back as they slowly traveled southwest. The Northern Alliance's Qianyuan Island was tens of thousands of miles away from here. This was the destination of Lu Ping's trip to the East Sea.
As soon as the three Green Sea Snakes entered the sea, they started to play around and catch the delicacies in the sea. However, this was the inland sea of the East Sea Islands, so there were obviously no demonic beasts here. Lu Ping knew that the sea was the natural habitat for the Green Sea Snakes. The Green Sea Snakes themselves were the ocean's favorite.
On the other hand, Lu Qin still had the temperament of a heartless little girl. She only liked the sky. She circled above Lu Ping's head and chirped cheerfully. She was incomparably happy at all times.
Dabao still had a deep hatred for the sea. He would rather stay in the spirit beast pouch and sleep.
Three long chirps could be heard. Lu Ping glanced behind him inconspicuously. A cold smile appeared on his face as he continued deeper into the sea.
However, the three snakes that had been playing around Lu Ping were nowhere to be seen.
A few miles behind Lu Ping, three cultivators were slowly following behind Lu Ping.
"Big Brother, are you sure this person isn't a pill refiner from the Li Family?" the cultivator on the left asked hesitantly.
The big brother in the middle was in the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. He replied coldly, "Why would the Li Family let their pill refiner leave alone?"
The younger brother on the right echoed, "Big Brother is right. If this person was really a pill refiner from the Li Family, wouldn't the Li Family have to send more than ten Mid Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivators to protect him?"
The cultivator on the left still felt that something was wrong. "But if this person isn't from the Li Family, why didn't the Wang Family take action themselves? Why did they secretly leak the news to Big Brother?"
The cultivator on the right was also taken aback. The two of them looked at the cultivator in the middle, waiting for their big brother to explain.
The big brother waved his hand impatiently. "Why are you asking so many questions? Let's capture this person first. He's just a Seventh Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. Don't forget, he's a pill refiner. Which pill refiner isn't rich? Other than spirit stones, he must have a lot of pills on him. He might even have pills that can help him break through to the Half-Step Core Forging realm. If that's the case, we'll be rich! "
The two younger brothers immediately forgot their previous doubts. Their minds were filled with thoughts of spirit stones and pills that could increase one's cultivation.
At this time, Lu Ping was already far away from the three islands. The three of them looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. They split into three directions and surrounded Lu Ping. Clearly, they were very familiar with this kind of thing.
