The Wang family's pill refiner was actually Crystal Palace's Senior Martial Brother Qi. He was the person Lu Ping met when he first snuck into the Land of Hundred Flowers on the nameless island. Lu Ping didn't expect him to represent the Wang family in this pill gathering.
Lu Ping whispered to Li Maolin, "Does Family Head Li know the background of the Wang family's pill refiner?"
Li Maolin was stunned and turned to look at Senior Martial Brother Qi. He knew that Lu Ping wouldn't mention this person for no reason, so he asked, "Little Brother Lu, is there something wrong with this person?"
Lu Ping and Li Maolin deliberately muffled their conversation. Other than the two of them, Li Xiuzhu and Chi Lianying, no one else could hear their conversation.
"Do you remember the Silver Fir cultivator from the mortal market on the Three Clans Island?" Lu Ping turned to ask Li Xiuzhu.
"It's him?" Li Xiuzhu said in surprise, "Did he bring an artifact to hide his appearance? How can Brother Lu be so sure that it's him? "
Lu Ping naturally wouldn't tell them that he snuck into the nameless island. He only said, "I met this person's true appearance by chance, so I know him."
Li Xiuzhu and Li Xiuzhu naturally knew what it meant if the Wang family's pill refiner was really the Silver Fir cultivator from the mortal market on the Three Clans Island. The Crystal Palace and the Wang family hadn't severed their relationship like on the surface.
At this moment, the Qianyuan Mountain Northern Alliance cultivator in charge of welcoming the guests suddenly shouted, "Purple Talisman Pavilion's Daoist Yuhai is here with his disciples to attend the gathering!"
Lu Ping looked up and saw a fair-skinned, beardless cultivator leading a few Blood Condensation Realm cultivators into the hall. The cultivators from the various forces who knew this Enlightened Master Yu Hai quickly stepped forward to greet him. Enlightened Master Yu Hai was a smooth talker and he chatted happily with the representatives from the various forces. He was very popular among the cultivators.
Lu Ping didn't know this Daoist Yuhai's background and couldn't help but ask, "This Daoist Yuhai seems to have a lot of friends. So many people know him."
Li Maolin looked at him strangely, then said enviously, "This is the scary thing about you pill refiners. Everywhere you go, you are the guests of the various forces, and there are always people who try to curry favor with you. Moreover, this is a pill refiner master, and a pill refiner master from the Purple Talisman Pavilion, one of East Sea's five sects."
Lu Ping nodded thoughtfully. Then, the welcoming cultivator announced, "Enlightened Master Feng Lianying of Wind and Thunder Island is here with her disciples to attend the ceremony."
Everyone exchanged greetings, then Lu Ping turned and Li Daoist Li. "Feng Master is Das. Li Daoist Palace, one Feng Li of Master."
Li Maolin nodded silently. Both of them looked towards the door at the same time. Indeed, a moment later, "Sage Ji Yayuan of the Sky Fissure Sword Sect is here to witness the ceremony with her disciples."
This time, it wasn't just Lu Ping and Li Maolin, but the other cultivators in the hall also felt something was amiss. Why did the East Ocean's sects send out famous alchemy grandmasters to attend the Alchemy Meet?
"Crystal Palace's Daoist Kunshan is here with his disciples to attend the gathering!"
Daoist Kunshan's arrival was obviously not as welcome as the previous three Daoists. It wasn't that the major forces didn't want to curry favor with him, but because of the matter of the mineral vein on the nameless island. The relationship between the Northern Alliance and the Crystal Palace was at a delicate stage. Naturally, no force would be stupid enough to offend the Northern Alliance at this time.
Daoist Kunshan didn't care. He just nodded to some familiar cultivators and led his disciples to the seats of honor in the hall with the other three sects.
Just as the cultivators in the hall were talking about the appearance of the pill refiner masters, an inexplicable aura suddenly filled the hall. The Core Forging Cultivators in the hall were the first to notice it, followed by some of the pill refiners who participated in the gathering. Lu Ping also felt this wonderful aura after Li Maolin noticed it. It was as if a kind of harvest and killing aura coexisted, reminding Lu Ping of the autumn in Middle Earth.
This wondrous state was like a divine ability, dragging everyone into a contradictory state of perceiving the aura of life and death. After that, the other alchemists and cultivators also discovered this wondrous aura, and they were all immersed in the atmosphere of perceiving the mysteries of this aura.
After a while, this wonderful atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Lu Ping opened his eyes and saw an unprepossessing old man with his hands behind his back. As if he was taking a stroll, he leisurely walked in from outside the hall, ignoring the hundreds of cultivators on both sides.
Two cultivators followed behind him, one on the left and one on the right. One of them had a graceful bearing, clearly a Core Forging Cultivator. The other cultivator was about the same age as Lu Ping. His eyes were always filled with a kind of eagerness. His gaze was filled with provocation and excitement. His threatening aura probed the cultivators sitting on both sides.
Many of the pill refiners didn't dare to look at the young cultivator's fierce gaze. Some of them forced themselves to look at him, but their eyes were filled with vigilance.
The young cultivator curled his lips in disdain and continued to follow the old man. When the young cultivator looked at Lu Ping, Lu Ping smiled back at him. The young cultivator suddenly felt as if his eyes had fallen into a bottomless abyss, an emptiness that made him feel as if he was stuck in a bottomless abyss, unable to rise or fall.
The young cultivator's interest was piqued and he smiled back at Lu Ping. His eyes conveyed a message: You're an opponent I'm looking forward to meeting.
The Core Forging Enlightened Master beside the young cultivator seemed to have sensed something. He glanced at the young cultivator and then at Lu Ping. However, Lu Ping had already lowered his head and started sipping on his spirit tea, while the old man continued to stroll towards the front of the hall as if he was taking a stroll.
The three of them walked at a moderate pace. Along the way, the young cultivator unscrupulously provoked the pill refiners on both sides with his aggressive gaze, looking for an opponent he was interested in. He ignored the angry glares of others.
When the old man reached the front of the hall and sat directly on the main seat, everyone realized that the three of them were cultivators from the Northern Alliance's Qianyuan Mountain. At this point, the representatives of the five great sects of the Eastern Sea had gathered in the Qianyuan Great Hall.
At this moment, Perfected Kunshan of the Crystal Palace, Perfected Yuhai of the Purple Talisman Pavilion, Perfected Feng Lianying of the Wind and Thunder Island, and Perfected Ji Yayuang of the Skyrend Sect, who were sitting in the main seat, stood up at the same time and bowed to the old man. "Junior greets Hongye Laozu!"
Laozu!
Fa Xiang Laozu!
The only Pill Refinement Grandmaster of the Northern Alliance, Hongye Laozu?!
The cultivators from the great sects in the hall were shocked. This quiet, unprepossessing old man who looked like an old fisherman was actually one of the few Pill Refinement Grandmasters of the Eastern Sea?
Everyone stood up one after another. For a moment, the hall was quite chaotic. The cultivators who bowed to Hongye Laozu rose one after another and greeted him with all kinds of greetings.
Lu Ping also could not hide the excitement in his heart. He stood up with Li Maolin and the others and respectfully greeted Hongye Daoist.
"Get up, all of you. No need to be so polite!"
A calm and warm voice rang in Lu Ping's ears.
