Each batch of spiritual herbs and materials could only be used to make one pill. The Northern Alliance prepared two sets of materials for each of the forty-three alchemists.
Out of caution, Lu Ping didn't want to seal any offensive spells in his first batch of pills. Instead, he chose to seal the relatively easy defensive spell, Water Curtain Heaven!
With her peak Blood Condensation cultivation, the power of Lu Ping's Green Phoenix Fire was clearly not something a normal fire-elemental demon beast could compare to. After spending so much time with the Green Phoenix, they had a tacit understanding of each other. Very quickly, after Lu Ping's self-created purification technique, the battle pill entered the stage of solidification.
Lu Ping had never crafted a mystic instrument with his own hands. His own mystic instrument was made from the twelve spirit beads. Lu Ping only needed to inject the nine seals into the spirit beads one by one and nurture them in his heart core.
However, Lu Ping had a good friend like Chen Lian who was obsessed with smithing. Under his influence, he had some understanding of smithing. In terms of making talismans, Lu Ping was quite accomplished. Therefore, with Lu Ping's current level of alchemy, he didn't encounter any special difficulties in making battle pills.
However, just as Lu Ping purified the spiritual herbs and materials in the furnace, he discovered a phenomenon that surprised Lu Ping. The purification technique, which was derived from smithing, seemed to have a more significant effect on making battle pills. Battle pills were originally more difficult to make than Heart Dissolving Pills. The reason why Lu Ping sealed the Water Curtain Heaven in his first batch of pills was because he was worried that the quality of the battle pill would not be able to reach the required level and seal Lu Ping's powerful sword intent within it. However, the purification technique directly raised the quality of the battle pill to an ideal level.
The purification technique actually had this kind of effect!
It seemed that the legend of making battle pills was a combination of alchemy, smithing, and talisman making. It wasn't just because of the spiritual herbs and materials used for smithing.
Lu Ping's protective energy barrier, the "Heavenly Water Curtain", was only one step away from attaining the true defensive technique, the "Water Curtain True Dipper". Its defensive power was no longer inferior to an ordinary top-grade mystic instrument. Lu Ping's Heavenly Water Curtain had already merged with the Meteoric Poison Essence and the Kui Water Essence.
Lu Ping pondered for a while. The Battle Core was only used to seal ordinary spells. It was obviously not worth it to use it against enemies. But if there were spells sealed inside, then the power would be …
Perhaps this was one of the important reasons why battle pills could be passed down for generations.
However, how could it be so easy to achieve a spell? In the world of cultivation, the difficulty of cultivating a spell was even higher than a cultivator reaching the Core Forging Stage. Cultivators who were able to achieve a spell were often synonymous with amazing talent.
Even though Lu Ping had obtained two kinds of natural treasures by chance and was only one step away from achieving the protective ability, Water Curtain Heaven, Lu Ping still wasn't confident that he would be able to find the last natural treasure.
What's more, the spell Lu Ping had obtained through external force was at best a minor spell. Only Lu Ping's own cultivation and comprehension could truly become a major or supreme spell, just like Lu Ping's swordsmanship.
Lu Ping could be considered quite talented in swordsmanship. He had also experienced life and death battles with sword geniuses like Ouyang Weijian and Daoist Master Jin Li, so his achievements were not low. Although he had reached the highest level of "Complex Sword Training", creating one thousand two hundred and ninety-six sword lights, he had only managed to create a spirit in a quarter of the sword lights. Once he had created a spirit in all of the thousand sword lights, he would have to achieve "Unity with the Sword". Only then would he be considered to have reached the pinnacle of sword intent, peering into the threshold of swordsmanship.
Once he crossed this threshold, Lu Ping would be able to create a sword spell, and a great spell at that. It was not something that could be compared to a minor spell like the Water Curtain Heaven, which relied on external force.
Legend had it that above the great spell, there was a supreme spell. The supreme spell of swordsmanship was known to almost all cultivators as the "One Sword to Destroy All Things". Among the Seventh Patriarch, only the most tyrannical Peng Daoren and Jiao Daoren had grasped this supreme spell. Although there were inheritances of this kind of supreme spell in the world of cultivation, ever since the Seventh Patriarch opened the heavens, there had never been a legend of someone achieving this kind of supreme spell.
With the refinement of the first Battle Pill, the refinement of the second Battle Pill became much easier.
Just as Lu Ping was carefully sealing the most powerful sword spell he had grasped into the second Battle Pill, Hongye Laozu looked at the Blue Phoenix on Lu Ping's shoulder with great interest. He said, "I didn't think that this little bird would actually have the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix. Doesn't that mean that this little bird will open the bloodline inheritance of your Fire Phoenix Clan? Why would you allow the inheritance of the Fire Phoenix Clan to be leaked and not bring her back? "
Yan Wujiu smiled helplessly. He said, "Perhaps it's a seed left behind by a dissolute fellow in the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, her mother is only of the Blue Phoenix bloodline, a branch of the Luan Daoist. In the world of Yao cultivators, her birth can only be counted as an upper-middle class. Thus, even though she has the bloodline inheritance of the Fire Phoenix Clan, it will not open when she is in the Blood Condensation Realm. Instead, it will only be activated after she has reached the Core Forging Realm. Only when the mana and bloodline in her body have reached a certain degree of purity will the inheritance be activated. Although this little bird is currently growing very well, and this Minor Repairs of the Human Race is very diligent, without the secret techniques of my Fire Phoenix Clan, it will be extremely difficult for her to reach this stage."
Hongye Laozu casually asked, "You haven't thought of bringing this little bird back to raise on your own?"
Yan Wujiu said carelessly, "Ever since that idiot grandson of Yan Jiuxiao was instigated by the people of the Crystal Palace to capture Chu Fanyun's grandson to eat snake soup, the Fire Phoenix Clan has been divided into two factions due to internal and external troubles. Right now, I am stuck in the middle and can't even take care of myself. Where would I have the chance to raise an illegitimate daughter that some bastard left outside? Even this disciple right now, if not for the fact that she is not of the Fire Phoenix Clan, even with my protection, she would not be able to live in peace. "
At this moment, Hongye Laozu made a sound of surprise and said, "This little fellow has quite a few amazing methods. This secret technique of purification is quite exquisite. No wonder he dared to set a 'Furnace Smashing Pact' as soon as he was born. What a pity."
What he meant was that even if Lu Ping had the help of the improved purification technique from the "Spiritual Fire Smelting Purification Technique", it would still be extremely difficult for him to defeat Yue Jiangrui.
Seeing that Lu Ping's purification technique was actually able to obtain Hongye Laozu's approval, Yan Wujiu was naturally very surprised. He turned his head and looked a few more times, then muttered, "This secret technique is quite similar to the 'Spiritual Fire Smelting Purification Technique' used by the only successor of the North Sea's Fei Ling Sect, Zhong Xuan Laozu, Jiao Yuqiang!"
Hongye Laozu also looked a few more times when he heard this, and said, "It is indeed very similar to the secret technique of the legends. However, that 'Spiritual Fire Smelting Purification Technique' is a secret refining technique, and Zhong Xuan Laozu himself is a Refining Grand Master, and has quite a bit of fame in the East Sea. Since when could this secret technique be used as a refining technique for refining pills?"
Yan Wujiu said, "Perhaps he obtained some superficial knowledge of the Fei Ling Sect's inheritance. After all, when the Fei Ling Sect was destroyed, most of its inheritance was divided up by the various sects of the North Sea. However, there were still quite a few scattered inheritances scattered along with the surviving disciples. Moreover, didn't Daoist Zhong Xuan escape to the East Sea with a group of disciples? However, to be able to improve a refining technique into a refining technique is already quite amazing. What a pity. "
Obviously, this Yan Wujiu was also not optimistic about Lu Ping's "Furnace Smashing Pact".
Although the concoction of a Battle Pill was considered difficult among the Half Step Forging Pills, with two sets of ingredients as a base, the majority of alchemists were able to successfully concoct at least one Battle Pill. Only an extremely small number of alchemists failed both times.
And the thirty-six alchemists who could successfully refine a Battle Pill naturally had the right to enter the Northern Alliance Pill House to choose a pill recipe as a reward. However, this reward did not seem to excite those present. This was because the alchemists had more or less obtained a few pill recipes during the previous refining process. For example, Lu Ping had mastered the refining methods of the "Three Jade Spirit Pill", the Detachment Pill, and the Battle Pill. What they cared more about was being able to enter the top 16 of the Northern Alliance's Land of Inheritance, Ziyue Paradise.
This required the thirty-six alchemists who had successfully refined a Battle Pill to demonstrate their Battle Pill on the spot!
Battle of alchemy!
Skyrend's black-clothed disciple took a step forward and tossed his two Battle Pills into the air. He casually made a few hand seals, and the Battle Pill spun in the air. Every time it spun, a ray of Sword Qi would be thrown out. In an instant, dozens of rays of Sword Qi were thrown out. The goose egg-sized Battle Pill became smaller and smaller as it spun and the Sword Qi was thrown out.
By the time over two hundred Sword Qis had been flung out, the expressions of the surrounding alchemists were already grave. Sword Intent level sword technique, to be able to cultivate the sword to such an extent, as expected of a disciple of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect.
At this moment, the grape-sized Battle Pill suddenly exploded. Forty-nine rays of Sword Qi flew out, emitting a chilling aura that seemed capable of splitting the sky and shattering the earth!
Spiritual Sword Light!
Sky Splitting Sword Light!
The forty alchemists' faces changed color!
As expected of Skyrend's disciple. Even though he was an alchemist, his swordsmanship!
Then, the second Battle Pill exploded, and another three hundred rays of Sky Splitting Sword Qi were released!
Lu Ping himself also had a serious expression. Skyrend's swordsmanship was known as the "best attack overseas". Even the Crystal Palace didn't dare to provoke him easily. Today, he saw that his swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and it was indeed worthy of the name "Sky Splitting"!
Lu Ping secretly compared it with his own swordsmanship. If they were in the same realm, Lu Ping could only take a defensive position and rely on his strong mana to fight with his opponent.
With Skyrend's disciple in front, the rest of the alchemists' Battle Pill practice became much dimmer. However, Lu Ping still didn't dare to be careless, especially the four alchemists from the other four sects of East Ocean. Although these cultivators were alchemists, their cultivation was definitely not too bad. To be able to reach such a level, not only did he condense his sword intent, but he had also reached the Sword Art Spiritual Realm.
