No one backed out. Everyone could see that the other four sects of the Eastern Sea had brought their best alchemists in the Blood Condensation Realm for the Northern Alliance Pill Gathering. They definitely had something up their sleeves. Now, it seemed like their target was Ziyue Cave Heaven.
Yue Jiangrui and Lu Ping couldn't back out either. They still had a 'cauldron smashing' promise.
Hongye Laozu nodded at Perfected Qin and waved his hand in front of him.
The surrounding white clouds quickly retreated. Only then did everyone realize that they were on the center of the white cloud. Hongye Laozu had just used his power to separate them in the cave heaven.
"Battle Pill. In terms of quality, it's just a mid-grade Half-Step Forging Pill. We'll decide the winner in the next stage!"
Yue Jiangrui said coldly as he walked past Lu Ping. His arrogant tone was replaced by a serious one.
"Anytime!"
Lu Ping walked towards Li Maolin. As Lu Ping's alchemy skills were gradually exposed, Li Maolin became more polite to Lu Ping.
"Attend the ceremony? That's strange. Usually, when a person wants to become a disciple, they invite friends and relatives. I didn't expect the Eastern Sea to have such a custom. "
Li Maolin didn't understand what Lu Ping meant by the 'Eastern Sea'. He just said, "Although the Eastern Sea doesn't have such a custom, my daughter's teacher, Perfected Plum, has such a rule. I can only follow her lead. Moreover, Perfected Plum can be considered an extraordinary person. She set up the Listening Plum in Qianyuan City with her bare hands. She even has dealings with Fa Xiang Laozu. Most of the forces in Qianyuan City have to give her face."
This Perfected Plum was probably the expert who hid behind the screen that day. After Chi Lianying came out from behind the screen, although Lu Ping's divine sense didn't detect anyone else behind the screen, the feeling of being watched was still there. This was also the reason why Lu Ping didn't get too entangled with Chu Ting and the others. Someone who could avoid his divine sense from a distance of two to three feet was naturally not someone he could provoke.
Essence Expanding Pill!
This was the pill that Lu Ping and the other 16 alchemists needed to refine in the fourth stage.
On the path of cultivation, the most important thing was the foundation. However, cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current and passing through a desert. There were bound to be ups and downs and many detours. When a person's potential was stimulated and their accumulation was exhausted, and they were unable to advance any further, they would finally reflect on the foundation they had at the beginning of cultivation. The density and density of the magic power in their body was an important manifestation of a cultivator's foundation.
The Essence Expansion Pill was a miraculous pill that could expand the space within one's core, allowing the Condensed Blood Bead to grow even further. It could allow a cultivator to expand their foundation and advance further on the path of cultivation.
Refining the Yuan Expanding Pill required twenty-six kinds of precious thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs, the same number of Spirit Herbs as the Seven Step Marked Pill, but the difficulty was much higher. The refining of the Yuan Expanding Pill could be said to represent the highest level of Alchemy below the level of Alchemy Grandmaster.
Yue Jiangrui, Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Qi, the alchemists from the five major sects, and the long-necked youth — all of them more or less glanced at Lu Ping before opening the furnace, but the meaning behind their gazes was different.
"Ah, I'm actually lucky enough to collect its recipe before I advance to the Core Forging Realm. This is an important accumulation for me to advance to the Core Forging Realm."
Lu Ping had always walked the path of having a strong magic power, paying attention to his foundation, and even slowing down his cultivation speed. This Yuan Expanding Pill seemed to be tailor-made for Lu Ping, as it could bring out the characteristics of Lu Ping's strong magic power to a greater extent. This way, he might advance to the Core Forging Realm a little later, but it would be beneficial for Lu Ping in the future.
Moreover, with the twelve Spirit Pearls in the space of Lu Ping's heart, it was beyond Lu Ping's current strength to control such a powerful natal magic weapon. This made Lu Ping drool even more over the effects of the Yuan Expanding Pill.
Lu Ping's heart was bursting with pride, but he still looked calm on the surface. However, he did not take out his mid-grade alchemy furnace from his storage ring. Instead, he raised a storage bag, and a three-legged cauldron that was half the height of a person fell with a loud rumble.
A high-grade alchemy furnace!
"This person also has a high-grade alchemy furnace?"
"He only took it out now, he hid it well!"
"'Smashing the Cauldron', hehe, no wonder!"
…
As soon as Lu Ping's alchemy furnace appeared, many of the spectating sects and forces immediately began to discuss it. Yue Jiangrui, Senior Brother Qi, and Senior Brother Ye looked at Lu Ping with bewilderment.
This was the furnace that Li Maolin had given to Lu Ping on Dai Chuting's behalf when Lu Ping was taking a break from alchemy. It could also be considered as a disguised apology to Lu Ping for breaking through the barrier.
Lu Ping ignored everyone's expressions. The Cyan Luan was once again grabbed by Lu Ping. Lu Qin, who had long become a stubborn person, said something rather angrily. Lu Ping smiled and nodded in agreement. Only then did he spit out the Cyan Luan Fire again for Lu Ping to refine alchemy pills.
Demonic beasts were generally divided into top, upper, middle, and lower ranks according to their innate talents. Although the Cyan Luan was a middle and upper rank demonic beast, Lu Qin cultivated both wind and fire. Lu Ping's intuition told him that Lu Qin's rank was not lower than that of a high-rank demonic beast. Otherwise, she would not have looked down on the Red Phoenix Fire and refused to merge with it. Then Lu Qin's Cyan Luan Fire was at least a high-rank beast fire, and it was barely compatible with a high-rank alchemy furnace for alchemy.
At this time, the Firebird in Senior Brother Ye's mouth had already flown around the alchemy furnace countless times. Senior Brother Ye carefully observed the situation in the alchemy furnace with his Divine Sense, but he decisively pulled out the hairpin. Ignoring his messy hair, he hurriedly threw the hairpin up. The wooden hairpin suddenly turned into powder in the air and was blown into the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The Firebird took the opportunity to spit out a few strong flames. The flames at the bottom of the alchemy furnace became more and more red, and the cloud room was stirred up by waves of fire.
Senior Brother Qi also used all his strength. The fire fox circled around the alchemy furnace faster and faster. The red, blue, and white tails constantly swayed and shot out sparks. Finally, Senior Brother Qi changed the fire-controlling incantation in his hand. The three fox tails were all entangled together, and the three-colored flames emitted from the tails gradually merged with the sound of bursting, turning into a thin line of fire, endlessly gathering and entangling the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The scene in the alchemy furnace stabilized. Senior Brother Qi looked slightly relaxed. He took a break from the busy work and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
Yue Jiangrui's face was solemn. He was only paying attention to the alchemy furnace in front of him. The flames at the bottom of the alchemy furnace had changed into nine-colored flames. It could be seen that Yue Jiangrui had collected a lot of fire seeds and was well prepared for refining various elixirs. But then he glanced at the cloud room where Lu Ping was, and it could be seen that his mood at the moment was absolutely not calm.
After the purification technique, an elegant but distant fragrance suddenly filled the nostrils of all the cultivators in Qian Yuan Cave.
Just when everyone was surprised, Immortal Qin and the other four alchemy grandmasters changed their expressions and looked at the cloud room where Lu Ping was.
He actually has this thing in his hands. No wonder!
"This little guy has quite a lot of good stuff. Even I am a little envious."
Hong Ye Laozu looked at Lu Ping with a smile. He held a small jade bottle in his hand and dripped a few drops of viscous purple liquid into the alchemy furnace.
Yan Wujiu's expression was a little ugly. He said, "What a waste. Refining such a low-level elixir is a reckless waste of God's gift!"
Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Ye were still wondering what Lu Ping was up to, but Yue Jiangrui's expression changed drastically. He said in a low voice, "Purple Crystal Royal Jelly!"
The Northern Alliance had prepared two sets of herbs for each of the sixteen alchemy grandmasters. Lu Ping successfully refined four elixirs on his first try. Lu Ping sighed inwardly. If he used the Indigo Spiritual Fire, he was confident that he could successfully refine five elixirs on his first try.
Lu Ping was originally a little proud of himself for refining four elixirs. However, when he looked up, other than Senior Brother Qi and the others who looked a little gloomy, the alchemy grandmasters of the five sects of Eastern Sea and the long-necked young man were still indifferently focused on their alchemy furnaces.
Amidst the rumbling, the high-grade alchemy furnaces were opened one by one. The three alchemy grandmasters from Purple Talisman Pavilion, Wind Thunder Island, and Skyrend each produced four elixirs. This shocked Lu Ping greatly. Only then did he realize that the disciples of the most powerful sects had probably practiced refining elixirs for a long time. It was not something that a cultivator like Lu Ping, who could only improvise on the spot, could compare to.
Four elixirs burst out of the furnace one by one, then were stored in a jade bottle. Yue Jiangrui looked at Lu Ping darkly. He did not say anything. After recovering his transcendence energy for a while, he started refining the second cauldron of elixirs.
Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Ye each produced two elixirs. They looked a little dejected, but they still forced themselves to stay alert. They knew that this was a rare opportunity to practice. It was not easy to collect these herbs, not to mention that the elixirs produced were from their own sect.
Lu Ping pretended to recover his transcendence energy while looking at Ning Shize, Zhou Chuang, and the long-necked young man. Amidst the rumbling of the alchemy furnaces, the three of them each harvested five elixirs.
They were indeed the disciples of an alchemy grandmaster. Their alchemy skills were indeed above him. However, if he used the Blue Spiritual Fire, he would not be much weaker than them.
However, Lu Ping also knew that he had more or less borrowed the power of the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly. However, these meticulously trained alchemy grandmasters had probably come into contact with and even refined the elixir before. This was the first time that Lu Ping had refined this elixir.
For some reason, Immortal Qin announced that the fourth stage was the finals. Each alchemy grandmaster only had two chances to refine the elixir. Lu Ping still felt that he had not had enough.
The second batch of elixirs would determine the winner. This time, Lu Ping looked at Ning Shize and the other two.
The three of them were obviously hesitating. After a while, Zhou Chuang took the lead. He took out a spirit-gathering plate filled with mid-grade spirit stones and three high-grade spirit stones in the middle. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, they were not looking at the extravagant spirit-gathering plate. Instead, they were looking at the flickering bean-sized flame in the center of the plate.
Just as the flame appeared, the rich spiritual energy in the Qian Yuan cave vibrated and quickly gathered around the bean-sized flame.
"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, this is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire!"
Amidst the exclamations of many cultivators, Zhou Chuang stretched out his hand and flicked the grey flame to the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The bean-sized flame quickly grew to the size of a washbasin. The restriction that enveloped the cloud room was instantly burned by the high temperature and disappeared.
"This is the Ten Thousand Bone Phosphorescence, a Black Spiritual Level low-tier Bone Phosphorescence. It was born in the cemetery."
Lu Ping's knowledge was no longer the same as before. He could see the origin of this spiritual fire at a glance.
The appearance of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire shocked all the alchemy grandmasters present. Ning Shize gritted his teeth and suddenly took out a golden elixir the size of a goose egg from his storage belt. Ripples of flames flickered on the surface of the elixir. However, every time the flames were about to emerge, a dense silver net would flash from the surface of the elixir and firmly trap the flames within the elixir.
The alchemy grandmasters present immediately gasped. "A Golden Core Enlightened Master who cultivates a fire-attribute cultivation method!"
