The Land of Inheritance was made up of five mountains that were hundreds of feet tall. These five mountains were the Land of Inheritance of the five alchemy masters. In the middle of these five mountains, there was a huge array in a ring-shaped valley. In the middle of the array, there was an irregular circular stone trough. That was the destination of Lu Ping's mission.
Lu Ping only needed to put the array disc that Immortal Qin had given him into the stone trough. Then, he could tear the teleportation talisman and leave this broken space that was about to collapse. But before that, Lu Ping had to pass the first test of the five alchemy masters. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass the array formed by these five mountains. Lu Ping put the array disc into the stone trough.
These tests were originally left behind for the disciples of the Northern Alliance. As long as one passed one test, it was possible to inherit the inheritance of a mountain. However, Lu Ping obviously wouldn't and wouldn't dare to do that. He didn't believe that Hongye Laozu and Immortal Qin would put them in these grotto-heavens. He was afraid that his every move would be observed by the two. If he really touched the inheritance, he would have to obediently hand it over after he left the grotto-heavens. He might even have to pay for it.
Just as Lu Ping arrived at the Land of Inheritance, Hongye Laozu and Immortal Qin were looking at a bronze mirror in front of them somewhere in Qianyuan Mountain.
On the bronze mirror, as Hongye Laozu's finger kept pointing, the image of Lu Ping and the others in the eight broken grotto-heavens kept flashing on the mirror.
Immortal Qin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle-Master, although the Northern Alliance Elixir Association adheres to the principle of a hundred schools of thought competing, it's still a bit inappropriate to let the disciples of the other four sects enter the Northern Alliance's Land of Inheritance."
Hongye Laozu smiled and said, "You don't know this. Ziyue Grotto-Heaven is the earliest grotto-heaven magic treasure made by the Northern Alliance. Back then, the Northern Alliance didn't have enough power in the East Sea. Six of the eight grotto-heavens were obtained by the Northern Alliance's Laozu from the six sects of the East Sea. Therefore, after the Purple Moon Hoop was made, the Northern Alliance owed the six sects a favor. For thousands of years, the East Sea has changed. Only four of the six sects are left. Therefore, the opening of the Ziyue Grotto-Heaven's Land of Inheritance can be considered as returning the favor owed by the ancestors of the Northern Alliance."
Hongye Zhenren paused and said, "Although these juniors have to go through the alchemy master's test, they won't really get the inheritance of these ancestors. Some of the rewards after the test, although there are good items, are more than a drop in the bucket for the Northern Alliance?"
Immortal Qin still felt it was a pity. Hongye Laozu continued, "Among these eight Land of Inheritance, the most valuable one is naturally the inheritance of the alchemy master. However, there are only four of them. Two of them are in the grotto-heaven space where Zhou Chuang is. The other two are in the grotto-heaven space where Luan Yu is, and the other is in the space where Lu Jiu is."
Immortal Qin was surprised and said, "If that's the case, didn't I just lie to the other four sects, especially the Crystal Palace?"
Hongye Laozu smiled slyly and said, "When did you lie to them? You only said that there are a lot of inheritances, but you didn't mention the quality of the inheritances. According to the number of inheritances in the grotto-heaven, Ning Shize from the Crystal Palace will go through six tests. If he passes all of them, he will get six rewards. He is indeed ranked third among the eight."
Immortal Qin laughed in relief. The two of them observed the bronze mirror for a while and found that all eight of them had entered the Land of Inheritance.
"This Lu Jiu has quite a lot of good items. As a rogue cultivator, not only does he have a high-grade cauldron and a top-grade spiritual fire that has lost its spirituality, he even managed to raise a low-grade Spirit-Seeking Mouse to the mid Blood Condensation Realm. Could the bees that he released earlier be the legendary Amethyst Bees? No wonder he has Amethyst Royal Jelly."
Immortal Qin clicked his tongue and continued, "When I was at the same level as him, I was also a rogue cultivator. My wealth is far from his."
Hongye Laozu shook his head and said, "The last cauldron and fire seed were lent to him by the master of the Li Family from the Elixir Gathering. The bees are indeed Amethyst Bees, but they look like they have just been cultivated. They are only at the Third Layer of the Blood Refining Realm. Even the queen bee might not have appeared. The Amethyst Honey is fine, but the royal jelly is far from it. He must have obtained it together with the Amethyst Bee eggs by chance."
Immortal Qin hesitated and said, "Uncle-Master, then should we …"
Hongye Laozu looked at Immortal Qin and said, "Get him to join the Northern Alliance?"
Immortal Qin was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Yes, just like I did back then."
Hongye Laozu smiled mysteriously and said, "He is an alchemist invited by the Li Family. Will the Li Family not fight for him first?"
Immortal Qin was puzzled and said, "Li Family? It is just a medium-sized force under the jurisdiction of the Northern Alliance. Although it belongs to the Northern Alliance, it is not on Qianyuan Mountain. How can they … "
"Li Family," Hongye Laozu waved his hand and interrupted Immortal Qin, "It is not as simple as you think."
Immortal Qin thought for a moment and said, "That is true. A medium-sized force with two to three hundred years of history can easily take out a high-grade cauldron and fire seed. Their foundation is indeed not simple."
Hongye Laozu saw that Immortal Qin did not understand what he meant, but he could not directly point it out for some reason, so he said, "In a few days, Immortal Plum of the Listening Villa will accept the daughter of the Li Family as a true disciple. The Old Man has an invitation to the ceremony. You can go on behalf of the Old Man."
"Master Plum?"
Immortal Qin was stunned. Only now did he know that what Hongye Laozu said was not normal. However, when he heard that Hongye Laozu wanted him to go on behalf of the ceremony, his expression became happy again.
Just as Qin Zhenren was about to turn around and leave, he heard Red Leaf Patriarch say as if he was talking to himself, "It's the tradition of a few big sects in the Central Plains to acknowledge a master and attend the ceremony. Only some sects in the North Sea overseas still have these old customs."
Immortal Qin was stunned, then he bowed and left to entertain the four alchemy masters of the other four sects.
Lu Ping chose the shortest mountain peak. Halfway up the mountain, an invisible light shield blocked Lu Ping outside, leaving only a red door formed by two red curtains of light in front of the archway.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and pushed the red light curtain door open. Then, a ball of black flames poured out like a flood and rained down on Lu Ping.
"Dark Prison Poison Fire?!"
Lu Ping was delighted. He did not expect to encounter such a rare fire seed for the first time. This fire seed was a kind of heaven and earth strange item. It was absolutely impossible to use it to refine elixirs. This was because this kind of fire was the most poisonous, and even the elixirs refined with it would carry serious fire poison.
Generally, the fire used for alchemy had some restraining effect on poison. Only this Dark Prison Poison Fire had the opposite effect. However, if an alchemy master deliberately refined some poisonous elixirs, strange elixirs, and strange elixirs, this Dark Prison Poison Fire was the best choice.
Poison on top of poison! Lu Ping's hands formed a fire control spell. Nine seals were made in a row along with Lu Ping's strong transcendence energy. The poison fire that was surging toward Lu Ping stopped for a moment. Then, the huge fire continued to slowly oppress Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's Divine Sense followed. Under the protection of transcendence energy, the huge poison fire was bound. Then, the whole fire became smaller and smaller until it shrank into a line of fire and connected with the flame on the Spiritual Gathering Plate behind the archway.
Lu Ping's mind moved, and the Protective Gang Qi on the surface of his body swelled up. Once it came into contact with the Dark Prison Poison Fire that had shrunk into a line, there was a continuous explosion. Lu Ping's tyrannical Divine Sense was not inferior to a Core Forging Daoist Master, but it was difficult for him to control the violent Dark Prison Poison Fire. The Myriad Poison Meteorite Evil Qi in Lu Ping's Protective Gang Qi also showed signs of losing control. Fortunately, Lu Ping reacted in time and his transcendence energy was strong. After withdrawing the Protective Gang Qi, he regained control of the Dark Prison Poison Fire. However, this whim of Lu Ping made Lu Ping have a new idea.
Now was not the time to test his idea. Lu Ping picked up a jade slip next to the Spiritual Gathering Plate. This was the test of the alchemy master in this mountain.
Myriad Poison Pill!
This was an extremely important series of poison pills. The refining of this pill could be said to be both easy and extremely difficult.
It was easy because only seven or eight kinds of century-old poisonous herbs could be used to refine the simplest Myriad Poison Pill. However, this pill could at most poison an early stage Blood Refining Realm Minor Repairs Warrior to death. If one could collect dozens or hundreds of 500-year-old poisonous herbs and 1000-year-old poisonous herbs, it would not be difficult to refine a pill that could cripple a Core Forging Daoist Master's transcendence energy.
Lu Ping's test was to use this unrefined Dark Prison Poisonous Flame to refine a half-step Core Forging Realm Myriad Poison Pill. This kind of poison pill required 14 kinds of 1000-year-old poisonous herbs and more than 20 kinds of 500-year-old poisonous herbs. According to the description in the pill recipe, even if a Core Forging Daoist Master mistakenly consumed this pill, his Zhen Yuan would be damaged and he would have to spend several days to expel the toxins from his body. Of course, it was also quite difficult to deceive a Core Forging Daoist Master into consuming this kind of poison pill.
Lu Ping's spirit sense was strong enough. Chu Ting's bright yellow flame was not refined by Lu Ping, so he could still use it to refine the Essence Expanding Pill. Now, using the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame to refine the Myriad Poison Pill was also a piece of cake.
Lu Ping picked out the poisonous herbs one by one from the jade box beside him according to the pill recipe. He then took out his mid-grade alchemy furnace. It was not that Lu Ping did not want to use Chu Ting's high-grade alchemy furnace, but after refining the poison pill, there would be some toxins left in the alchemy furnace. It needed to be carefully nurtured before it could be removed. Chu Ting's alchemy furnace was only used to help him compete for the Elixir Gathering. Using it to refine a poison pill would pollute the alchemy furnace.
Two hours later, the Myriad Poison Pill was freshly made. He randomly picked one pill from the six pills and placed it in a hole on the spirit-gathering plate. A "Kacha" sound was heard, and the base of the spirit-gathering plate suddenly separated from the ground.
Lu Ping knew that this was his reward. After carefully storing the spirit-gathering plate of the Dark Prison Poisonous Flame into his storage ring, the jade slip with the recipe for the Myriad Poison Pill also fell into Lu Ping's hands. Although there were only a dozen or so recipes for the Myriad Poison Pill, there were two pills for the Core Forging Stage. Lu Ping would need to become an Alchemy Grandmaster before he could refine them.
Lu Ping casually put away the spiritual herbs he had prepared for refining the Myriad Poison Pill from the storage bag beside him. He did not enter the mountain road behind the decorated archway. Instead, he retreated from the archway. That was where the real inheritance was located, but there would be a number of tests to pass. That place was reserved for the inheritors of the Northern Alliance, but it was not something that Lu Ping could obtain.
With a loud bang, the red curtain of light closed up again. Lu Ping had successfully passed the first test, and he cautiously walked towards the second mountain peak.
