This was the first time Lu Ping had seen Dharma Form Laozu. Lu Ping had seen the power of Dharma Form Laozu before. For example, when the North Sea Demon Clan launched a sneak attack on Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect, Zhenling's Dharma Form Laozu, the Wind and Snow Immortals, appeared. Wind, frost, snow, and rain fell from the sky, freezing the sea. Also, when Perfected Jiang Xuanlin achieved Dharma Form, a huge spiritual energy vortex was formed at the peak of Tianling Mountain. For such an existence, Lu Ping could only express his admiration and admiration.
"The Northern Alliance's celebration was originally handed over to Martial Nephew Qin Xu to host, but with the arrival of the alchemy masters from Crystal Palace, Purple Talisman Pavilion, Wind and Thunder Island and Skyrend, Martial Nephew Qin Xu had no choice but to summon this old bag of bones from Qianyuan Mountain again."
As soon as Hongye Laozu finished speaking, the Perfected Person next to Hongye Laozu smiled apologetically and awkwardly at everyone in the hall. With his identity as an alchemy master, it was enough for him to host the Elixir Gatherings of the Northern Alliance. However, the other four sects of the East Sea had sent four alchemy masters whose positions were not lower than his. As the host of this Elixir Gathering, Perfected Person Qin Xu had no choice but to invite his semi-retired Martial Uncle, the only alchemy grandmaster in the Northern Alliance, Hongye Laozu, to suppress the situation.
The Water Crystal Palace's Enlightened Kun Shan stood up and said, "We are very happy that Brother Qin was able to invite the Old Ancestor over. If we can receive a few pointers from the Old Ancestor, we might owe Brother Qin a big favor!"
The Alchemy Grandmasters from the Purple Talisman Pavilion, Wind and Thunder Island, and Sky Splitting Sword Sect also chimed in. Obviously, the appearance of the Red Leaf Ancestor had shocked these Alchemy Grandmasters, but at the same time, they were delighted.
Hongye Laozu pointed at the four alchemy masters and laughed. "The four of you are all clever. Do you think the Old Man doesn't know what you are thinking?"
Hongye Laozu's pun made the alchemy masters from the four sects laugh awkwardly. Some of the sharp-minded cultivators in the hall had already realized that something unusual was going to happen in today's Elixir Gathering.
Before the Alchemy Gathering, the various powers of the Northern Alliance would be evaluated by the high level cultivators of Qianyuan Mountain. Each power was then divided into three ranks: large, medium, and small. For example, the Li family was ranked twenty-ninth among the medium powers. The twelve medium powers in the lower ranks had to compete for the six spots that would prevent them from being demoted to small powers through the performance of the alchemy masters in the Alchemy Gathering. The six vacated medium powers would then be decided by the twelve large powers among the small powers.
In the same way, the three large forces that failed to be selected would also be fought over by the six lower-class forces. The vacated spots would be filled by the three winning forces from the six upper-class forces.
Of course, this did not mean that there was no need for the mid-tier forces among the various forces to participate in the Elixir Gathering. This was because the performance of the various forces in the Elixir Gathering would directly become one of the standards for re-evaluating their ranks in the next Elixir Gathering.
Hongye Laozu signaled Immortal Qin to announce the beginning of the Elixir Gathering. Before the Elixir Gathering began, Immortal Qin first explained the rules of the Elixir Gathering. Then, with a hint of encouragement, he said, "For the celebration of this Elixir Gathering, all the spirit herbs that you need to refine the pills will be provided by the Northern Alliance. Not only that, the Northern Alliance has also prepared generous rewards for all the alchemists. Those who are in the top 32 of this Elixir Gathering will be able to choose an inheritance jade slip from the Elixir Building of the Northern Alliance. If you are in the top 16, you will be able to see the alchemy knowledge left by the previous generations of alchemists in the Elixir Building of the Northern Alliance.
When the people in the hall heard about the rewards for the top 32, they all felt that it was just so-so. Although the Elixir Building of the Elixir Building was precious, as long as an alchemist reached the level of an Alchemy Grandmaster, there would naturally be many people who would rush to give up their Elixir Building in exchange for alchemy.
However, when the people in the hall heard that the top 16 would have the opportunity to see the alchemy knowledge of the previous generations of alchemists in the Northern Alliance, the cultivators in the hall all cheered. Lu Ping was also excited. Elixir Building was just a way to increase one's foundation. Although the insights were not as good as the inheritance jade slip, it was still something that could improve an alchemist's alchemy skills immediately. It was an important way for a sect to attract alchemists and strengthen its foundation and accumulation.
Hearing that, the alchemists present became even more expectant of the rewards. When Lu Ping raised his hand to look, he saw that the young cultivator behind Red Leaf Laozu also had a fervent expression on his face. The four Alchemy Grandmasters, who represented the four great sects of the East Sea, also had looks of astonishment on their faces. Clearly, they did not expect that the Northern Alliance would be so generous to open up the Elixir Building. As one of the five great sects of the East Sea, the Northern Alliance had tens of thousands of years of heritage. There was no need to doubt the accumulation of the Elixir Building. It was something that every alchemist dreamed of. At the same time, the various alchemists looked forward to the rewards for the top eight.
Seeing the fervent expressions on the faces of the alchemists and the Alchemy Grandmasters from the four great sects, Immortal Qin's lips curled up slightly. It was as if he had already expected their reactions.
Seeing that Immortal Qin did not speak for a long time, Immortal Yu Hai from the Purple Talisman Pavilion asked curiously, "The Northern Alliance is really generous this time. They opened up the Elixir Building. Even the Old Man wants to compete with them. But why didn't Brother Qin tell us the rewards for the top eight?"
Immortal Qin smiled when he heard Yu Hai's question. "If Brother Yu Hai makes a move, they won't have a chance! It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the Northern Alliance has decided to open up Ziyue Cave Heaven. All the alchemists who enter the top eight will have a chance to obtain a treasure from it. "
As soon as Immortal Qin finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at each other. They had never heard of the Northern Alliance having such a place. Only the people in charge of a few large forces sitting in the front row of the hall looked at each other in shock. Their lips moved slightly, but no one knew what they were saying. Then, they saw the alchemists who followed them nodding their heads with solemn and fervent expressions.
Immortal Ji Yayuang from Skyrend was a woman. Ever since she entered the hall, she had been meditating with her eyes closed. Other than Hongye Laozu, who stood up and bowed when he arrived, she had an aloof attitude. The Alchemy Grandmasters from the various sects seemed to be quite afraid of her. When they chatted with each other, they intentionally or unintentionally missed this Immortal.
When Immortal Qin said that he wanted to open Ziyue Cave Heaven, even Immortal Yu Hai from Purple Talisman Pavilion and Immortal Feng Lianying from Wind and Thunder Island were confused. Immortal Kun Shan seemed to be deep in thought. At this moment, Immortal Ji Yayuang suddenly opened her eyes and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Senior Brother Qin, Ziyue Cave Heaven is a place of inheritance set up by the generations of Core Forging Masters of the Northern Alliance before they passed away. It is an important means for the Northern Alliance to ensure their own inheritance and status. Usually, it is only opened for the outstanding disciples of the Northern Alliance. Why does such an important place need to be opened for the Elixir Gathering this time?"
Immortal Ji Yayuang opened her eyes and looked straight at Immortal Ji Yayuang. Her gaze was like two sharp swords piercing through the hall. A cold chill was released but it still made the cultivators who were discussing in the hall shiver. They felt as if their Divine Sense was being torn apart. The noisy atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
Lu Ping looked at this Immortal Ji Yayuang in surprise. Li Maolin, who was beside him, introduced, "This is Master Ji Yayuang. Not only is her alchemy famous in East Sea, but her Heaven Splitting Swordsmanship is also one of the few Core Forging Masters in East Sea. It is said that this Immortal has cultivated a magical power called 'Geng Metal Dharma Eye'. I wonder if it is the same as just now."
Although Immortal Ji Yayuang was asking Immortal Qin a question, her eyes were looking at Hongye Laozu. Clearly, Ziyue Cave Heaven was an extremely special place in the Northern Alliance. Whether it was opened or not was not up to Immortal Qin.
Skyrend and the Northern Alliance had always been on good terms. Immortal Ji Yayuang knew about Ziyue Cave Heaven. It was understandable for other Immortal Masters to know about it. However, when they heard that Ziyue Cave Heaven was an important place of inheritance in the Northern Alliance, they all looked at Hongye Laozu in shock.
After hearing Immortal Ji Yayuang's words, all the alchemists in the hall knew about Ziyue Cave Heaven's position in the Northern Alliance. Lu Ping frowned slightly. Places of inheritance like this should exist in all the major sects, and there should be more than one. Lu Ping vaguely heard from Second Senior Sister Li Xuanru that there was also a similar place of inheritance in Zhenling. However, how could the Northern Alliance make such a place public, let alone let people enter it to choose treasures?
The publicly recognized places of inheritance in the sects were naturally the Sutra Depository, Sutra Depository, and the like. However, a sect had thousands of years to tens of thousands of years of inheritance accumulation. Naturally, they would not put all their eggs in one basket. Therefore, there were many secret places of inheritance in the sects to prevent the sect from declining or encountering a powerful enemy. They could ensure that the sect could pass on the torch and make a comeback.
There were naturally many cultivators who had the same question as Lu Ping. Everyone looked at Hongye Laozu, intending to listen to his explanation. However, Hongye Laozu's mind was elsewhere. He had no intention of giving any explanation. Everyone could only look at Immortal Qin.
Immortal Qin obviously knew that the opening of such a place of inheritance would cause everyone to speculate. However, he was also confused at the moment. When Immortal Hongye explained to him, he did not mention the reason.
Immortal Qin coughed and turned a blind eye to the cultivators' expectant eyes. He continued, "As for the top four and the champion of this year's Pill Gathering, our Northern Alliance's Spiritual Masters and Martial Uncle Hongye will discuss and reward each alchemist according to their specific circumstances."
The Northern Alliance's reward measures for this Pill Gathering that Immortal Qin had announced not only caused a lot of discussion among the cultivators in the hall, but even the alchemy masters of the four great sects were frowning. They did not know what the Northern Alliance's intention was. A strange light flashed in Kun Shan's eyes, and in a moment, he returned to his calm state. However, he did not know that all of this was seen by Hongye Laozu, who seemed to be out of his mind.
In the Qian Yuan Hall, Immortal Qin explained everything. Before he announced the official start of the Pill Gathering, he turned around and said respectfully to Hongye Laozu, "Martial Uncle, please make your move."
Hongye Laozu opened his eyes slightly, and a great pressure suddenly appeared in the Qian Yuan Hall.
