Battle Pill was a famous sect among alchemists, but it wasn't widely spread.
In the history of the cultivation world, because alchemists put too much energy on alchemy, their strength was generally weak among cultivators. Before they established their lofty status in the cultivation world, alchemists were just a weak group that served cultivators in the eyes of cultivators. They played the role of an employer among various powerful factions.
Some alchemists who were interested in improving their status hoped to transform alchemy into the alchemist's own strength, thereby further improving the alchemist's status in the cultivation world. After several generations of alchemists' painstaking attempts, they finally succeeded in refining a unique pill that was different from the past.
This was the intentional battle pill!
Strictly speaking, the intentional battle pill was not a pill in the real sense. It would not be consumed by cultivators. On the contrary, it required the alchemist to concentrate and condense his most proud spell into the pill during the refining process. When the alchemist encountered danger, the battle pill could be quickly activated to help the alchemist defeat the enemy.
The intentional battle pill looked more like a different kind of talisman or talisman treasure, but the spiritual herbs and spiritual materials used to refine the intentional battle pill were far more powerful than the spiritual materials used to make talisman or talisman treasure. Therefore, the power of the spell sealed in the battle pill was often comparable to the power of the spell used by the cultivator in a fight. From this point of view, the quality of the battle pill was above the talisman or talisman treasure.
However, the appearance of the battle pill did not improve the alchemist's status in the cultivation world. Although the quality of the battle pill was above the talisman or talisman treasure, it was far more difficult to refine than the talisman or talisman treasure. The inheritance of the alchemist was also extremely difficult. The spiritual herbs and spiritual materials needed to refine the battle pill were really expensive. More importantly, the alchemists themselves were weak. How powerful could the battle pill they refined be?
The invention of the Battle Pill did not change the status of alchemists in the cultivation world. On the contrary, it itself became a useless inheritance for alchemists. Thus, although the Battle Pill was famous among alchemists, it was often abandoned by alchemists in the actual inheritance. It was only passed down among a very small portion of alchemists.
The improvement of the alchemist's status was ultimately due to the increasing number of spiritual herbs and cultivators in the cultivation world. The increasing demand for large amounts of cultivation resources and the collective demands of the majority of alchemists made the alchemist's status in the cultivation world become more and more important. It was also because of the history of alchemists being despised and suppressed by cultivators that the alchemist group became more isolated, stubborn, strange, and out of place in the cultivation world.
When Qin Zhenren announced that the third stage of the refining task was actually the intentional battle pill, the remaining forty-three alchemists were all surprised. Even the alchemist masters of the other four sects looked at Qin Zhenren suspiciously. Qin Zhenren's expression was innocent. He quickly gestured in the direction of Hongye Laozu and Yan Wujiu's secret conversation. The other four masters were silent.
Lu Ping frowned as he carefully studied the jade slip in the cloud room. The concoction of the battle pill had completely surpassed the scope of alchemy itself. It was more like a combination of alchemy, refining, and talisman crafting. Although Lu Ping had long heard of the battle pill's fame among alchemists, he had never had the slightest understanding of it.
Not only Lu Ping, but Yue Jiangrui, Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Ye, and the other alchemists were also frowning in their respective cloud rooms. In the previous two stages, every alchemist encountered different pill recipes. The Northern Alliance had at least hundreds of Late Blood Condensation and Half-Step Core Forging pill recipes. With so many pill recipes being made public, how many of them were still hidden?
The concoction of the battle pill required more than ten types of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and several types of high-grade and top-grade spiritual materials. Each of the forty-three alchemists present had two sets of materials. This made Lu Ping deeply shocked by the Northern Alliance's wealth.
In the third stage, every alchemist had the same pill recipe. The quality of the battle pill not only depended on the quality of the pill itself, but also the power of the sealing spell. Of course, the higher the quality of the pill, the more powerful the sealing spell would be. Of course, the prerequisite was that the alchemist's spell was strong enough. The battle pill was more like a comprehensive measure of a alchemist's alchemy skills and strength.
Just when everyone was still trying to figure it out, they suddenly heard a chuckle. Although the person who laughed did not mean it, it was a little abrupt in this situation.
When the crowd looked over, they saw an alchemist dressed in black, who represented the Sky Fissure Sword Sect, with a piercingly cold aura. He paid no heed to the angry glares from the other alchemists, and took out a huge copper cauldron from his storage bracelet. The other alchemists looked on with envy, because this alchemist had swapped out a high-grade alchemy cauldron.
A high-grade cauldron was comparable to a magic treasure. Only a large sect like Skyrend would give a high-grade cauldron to a Blood Condensation cultivator.
Other than Yue Jiangrui, all the alchemists who participated in the gathering used mid-grade cauldrons. Yue Jiangrui was known as the number one alchemist below grandmaster alchemists. He had used his high-grade cauldron many times in front of others, so no one felt anything was wrong. Now that the alchemist from Skyrend suddenly took out a cauldron that clearly had not been used many times, everyone realized that since the alchemist from Skyrend had a high-grade cauldron, the disciples of the other four sects must also have one.
Everyone looked at Zhou Chuang, Ning Shize, and the others. As expected, the four of them did not seem surprised when the black-clothed alchemist threw out a high-grade cauldron.
A thought flashed through Lu Ping's mind, and he immediately came to a realization. If the Battle Pill had caused any big trouble, it would have been when a sword cultivator found out about it. This talented cultivator was inspired by the Battle Pill and created a brand new inheritance method for sword cultivators. That was the Sword Pill Technique!
The so-called Sword Pill Technique was a sword cultivator who sealed his proudest knowledge in a sword pill and gave it to his disciple. Through this sword pill, the disciple would be able to sense his master's cultivation realm from time to time. He could also use the sword pill to defeat his enemy at a critical moment. In some sword sects, the Sword Pill Technique often replaced the Blood Condensation Pill. When a sword cultivator advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, it could also be used as a natal magic tool to strengthen the sword cultivator's strength.
The Heaven Fissure Sword Sect naturally had a method to pass down the legacy of the Sword Pill. Perhaps this alchemist had benefited from this method of inheritance. Thus, to other alchemists, this Battle Pill might be rather uncommon, but to this black-clothed alchemist, it might not be too difficult.
At this moment, low cries of surprise came one after another. When Lu Ping looked up, he saw that the alchemists from the Northern Alliance, the Crystal Palace, the Purple Charm Pavilion, and the Wind and Thunder Island had also started to refine the Intentional Battle Pill. All four of them took out high-grade cauldrons, which caused the crowd to exclaim.
More and more alchemists started to refine the Battle Pill. Lu Ping carefully recalled the pill recipe. When he found that there were no mistakes, he pulled at his storage bag. After being stifled for so many days, a clear cry with a lot of resentment and joy suddenly rang out, spreading far and wide in the Heaven's Cave.
Lu Ping was caught off guard. The Blue Phoenix had already flapped its wings and leaped onto Lu Ping's shoulder. Just as it was about to sing, Lu Ping reacted and hurriedly stopped it. At the same time, he formed a hand seal and set up a soundproof restriction in the cloud room.
The Blue Phoenix shook its head in dissatisfaction. Only then did it see the situation around it clearly. In the void, many alchemists who were trying to figure out the pill recipe glared at Lu Ping. However, when trying to figure out a pill recipe, the most taboo was to disturb them. This was because in the process of alchemy, every missing detail would not bring irreparable damage. Therefore, alchemists would treasure every pill recipe they could figure out. Moreover, this Elixir Gathering was especially important for alchemists who desired to improve their alchemy skills.
Lu Ping put down the middle-grade alchemy furnace. Then, he turned around and discussed something with the Blue Phoenix on his shoulder. The Blue Phoenix seemed extremely unwilling, but Lu Ping seemed to have made a promise. The Blue Phoenix, which had turned its head to the side, suddenly flapped its wings excitedly. It opened its mouth and spat out a thin blue flame. The flame curled up into a coil at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. As the blue flame danced, waves of heat blew on the cloud room that Lu Ping was in.
The appearance of the Blue Phoenix allowed Yue Jiangrui and those who were paying attention to Lu Ping to know where the blue flame that Lu Ping had used in the final stage of refining the Detachment Pill came from.
Yue Jiangrui's expression was a little bad. It was not because of the Blue Phoenix on Lu Ping's shoulder, but because of the Battle Pill.
He was very confident in his alchemy skills, but the Battle Pill wasn't just a test of his alchemy skills. One of the main reasons why he had no hope of breaking through to the Core Forging stage was because he had been too obsessed with improving his alchemy skills when he was young. He had raised his cultivation level too quickly, causing his foundation to be greatly damaged.
Lu Ping didn't realize that the Blue Phoenix's cry had actually attracted the attention of others.
Yan Wujiu, who was in the middle of a secret conversation with Hongye Laozu, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in Lu Ping's direction. He just happened to see Lu Ping discussing something with the Blue Phoenix on his shoulder. Then, the Blue Phoenix excitedly spat out the Blue Phoenix's flame to help Lu Ping refine the Battle Pill.
Hongye Laozu seemed to know something and casually said, "This little guy is really good to his spirit pet. He didn't put any restrictions on the little bird."
Obviously, the Soundproof Restriction that Lu Ping used couldn't stop Hongye Laozu and Yan Wujiu from probing. The conversation between the man and the bird was clearly heard by the two of them.
Yan Wujiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Laozu. There are many spirit pets among the yao race that are human cultivators. Although this little bird is of the same race as me, its master clearly takes good care of it and didn't force it to use any evil restrictions. Wujiu won't go so far as to cause trouble for this little guy. But why would Laozu have the leisure to talk about this Minor Repairs of the Blood Condensation Realm?"
Hongye Laozu chuckled and said, "Who doesn't know that you, Yan Wujiu, are usually the most protective of your people? But this little guy's alchemy skills are quite solid. It shouldn't be too hard for him to get into the top sixteen and get a spot to enter Ziyue Paradise. It would be a pity if he was killed by you."
Yan Wujiu nodded and said, "Looks like the rumors are true. The Northern Alliance's Ziyue Paradise is really on the verge of collapse."
Hongye Laozu nodded helplessly and said, "Ziyue Paradise is one of the first treasures of the Northern Alliance to become a paradise. There are many inheritances of the Northern Alliance in it. It has a long history. Now that the artifact's lifespan has come to an end, we have moved most of the inheritances to other paradises. But there are still a few inheritances that were lost because the artifact's collapse was too sudden. Even though my senior brothers are doing their best to maintain it, only Blood Condensation cultivators can enter."
Yan Wujiu thought for a moment and said, "Is Ziyue Paradise really the place where the Northern Alliance's pill refiners' inheritances are located? Only Blood Condensation Realm pill refiners can enter? "
Hongye Laozu nodded and said helplessly, "Exactly. Otherwise, why would we use such a grand event to attract the best Blood Condensation pill refiners from the Eastern Sea? Our Northern Alliance has a lot of outstanding Blood Condensation disciples who can fight against Core Forging cultivators! "
Yan Wujiu had learned a lot of secrets from the Red Leaf Ancestor, but before he could digest them all, he heard the Ancestor say with a smile, "Could it be that there's something special about this little bird that made you investigate it so much?"
Yan Wujiu smiled bitterly and said, "I knew it wouldn't be easy to get information from you, Laozu."
