"Meridian Strengthening Pill, it's actually this good stuff!"
Lu Ping looked at the jade scroll in his hand. It was the recipe for the Meridian Strengthening Pill.
Essence Expanding Pill, Meridian Strengthening Pill, and Pureblood Pill. These were the three best pills for Blood Condensation Realm cultivators to strengthen their foundations and prepare to advance to the Core Forging Realm.
Lu Ping had already obtained the Essence Expanding Pill. Originally, he was thinking about how to get the other two recipes from the Northern Alliance. Now, only the recipe for the Pureblood Pill was left. However, Lu Ping remembered that after he entered the top 32 of the Elixir Gathering, he still had one more chance to choose a recipe. Although it was for choosing a recipe for a Core Forging Realm pill, he believed that the Northern Alliance would agree to exchange this opportunity for the Pureblood Pill's recipe.
In a hall at the foot of the fifth mountain, Lu Ping walked out with a gloomy face. No one knew what signal he released, but after a cup of tea's time, there was a buzzing sound from afar. Purple bees the size of a child's fist flew over. One by one, they were put into the Qian Zhong Su instrument by Lu Ping.
After all the Purple Crystal Bees had entered the instrument, Lu Ping noticed that there were less than 20 Purple Crystal Bees. They must have been swallowed by the spatial crack in the grotto-heaven.
Fortunately, in the past two days, more than 200 Purple Crystal Bees had all advanced to the Third Rank of the Blood Refining Realm. There were also a few that broke through to the Fourth Rank. He believed that after a period of time, more Purple Crystal Bees would break through to the Fourth Rank.
Dabao came out of nowhere with a small storage pouch hanging from his neck. It was filled with a mess of things. Lu Ping took a look, but most of them were things that didn't catch his eye. However, a few seeds in a jade box caught Lu Ping's interest.
Lu Ping put Dabao into the Spirit Beast Pouch, turned around, and entered the hall again. This last test stumped Lu Ping.
Golden Essence Pill!
Pill for the Core Forging Realm.
Lu Ping's last test was to refine a pill for the Core Forging stage, even though it was the easiest pill for the Core Forging stage.
Although Lu Ping had achieved a 60% success rate when he concocted the Essence Expanding Pellets, he had already touched the threshold of Core Forging Realm medicinal pellets and become a Grandmaster Alchemist. But the difference in spirit herbs was only 26 thousand-year-old spirit herbs and 27 thousand-year-old spirit herbs. But in reality, the difference was like the distance between heaven and earth.
One of the most crucial factors was true essence!
After a cultivator advanced to the Core Forging Stage, the magic power within their body would transform into a higher level form. Among the pills used to promote the cultivation of Core Forging Daoist Masters, this factor became indispensable. In the end, the most direct goal of a Core Forging Daoist Master's cultivation was to strengthen the body's true essence.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, most cultivators who became an alchemist master only reached the Core Forging stage.
Of course, this did not mean that it was impossible for a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator to refine a Core Forging stage pill. It was just that this process would be extremely difficult because true essence was incomparable to magic power. This was also an important factor in the qualitative change between a Core Forging Daoist Master and a Blood Condensation cultivator.
If Lu Ping wanted to concoct a Golden Essence Pellet, he would have to concentrate a large amount of his arcane energy into the medicinal pellet until the accumulated arcane energy could be condensed into a strand of True Essence in the medicinal pellet. In the end, the medicinal pellet would undergo a qualitative change. It was just like how Lu Ping's divine sense had been cultivated by the [Soul Expansion Pellet] and the [Soul Splitting Art]. When Lu Ping's divine sense contracted, it would naturally produce a divine sense pressure.
Now there was only a little more than a day left. Lu Ping was not confident that he could successfully refine a Golden Essence Pill in the remaining time. Therefore, before refining, he took back the Purple Crystal Bee and Dabao in advance, so that he would not be able to take care of them when the cave collapsed in the middle of refining.
In terms of the quality of the fire seed, Chu Ting's high-grade alchemy furnace and bright yellow third-grade top-grade fire seed were even inferior to the Black Prison Poisonous Fire.
The alchemist who left the inheritance on this mountain had prepared three sets of spiritual herbs for Lu Ping to refine a Golden Essence Pill. In other words, Lu Ping only had three chances to pass the test.
Although there were three sets of spiritual herbs, the medicinal properties of each spiritual herb were more or less. The balance of the medicinal properties of the spiritual herbs had to be rearranged. Otherwise, although it could still be refined, the alchemist would need to spend a lot of energy to balance the medicinal properties, and it would also cause a lot of waste.
Lu Ping made up his mind and let the boy swallow an upper-grade spirit stone. Then, the boy took the magic pestle and carefully pounded the spiritual herbs that needed to be pounded. The magic pestle that emitted a spiritual light was really powerful. Lu Ping carefully looked at the mashed spiritual herbs and stimulated the medicinal power in the spiritual herbs. This could make the medicinal power of the spiritual herbs easier to condense during the alchemy process and reduce the difficulty of alchemy.
Lu Ping placed three spare upper-grade spirit stones in the alchemy furnace in case something went wrong during the alchemy process.
At this time, Lu Ping was not in the mood to think about waste, extravagance, and the rewards after a fluke. If he could really successfully refine a Golden Essence Pill this time, it would be a milestone for him in alchemy. Even if he used up all the upper-grade spirit stones in his hands, he would be willing.
The first batch of elixirs soon reached the stage of condensing. However, there were two consecutive explosions. Before Lu Ping could react, two of the three condensed spiritual liquids in the alchemy furnace were wasted.
Lu Ping hurriedly detonated a prepared upper-grade spirit stone in the alchemy furnace. However, it was still a step too late. The last spiritual liquid had just condensed into a ball, but before it could solidify, it exploded and dispersed.
The biggest reason was that the spiritual power was not condensed enough.
The time was getting closer, and there was no time for Lu Ping to spend time to restore the consumed spiritual power. Lu Ping directly took out a Triple Transformation Elixir and swallowed it, replenishing most of the consumed spiritual power.
For the second batch of elixirs, Lu Ping was even more careful. Half of his spiritual power was spent on the final process of condensing the elixir. This time, Lu Ping deliberately condensed only two spiritual liquids at the end, so as to reduce the pressure of Divine Sense and the distribution of spiritual power. At least one of the two spiritual liquids had to be successfully condensed.
At the last moment of condensing the elixir, Lu Ping detonated the two upper-grade spirit stones in one fell swoop. It happened to be the moment when the spiritual power in the alchemy furnace was absorbed. However, the exploding spiritual power was still not as fast as the absorption speed of the two spiritual liquids.
Lu Ping decisively dispersed one of the spiritual liquids and gathered all the spiritual energy into the last one. The spiritual liquids quickly condensed and solidified. Lu Ping then opened the cauldron and a golden medicinal pellet escaped from its parent's care like a naughty child. It dashed out of the cauldron and ran out of the hall.
Spiritual alchemy!
This was the biggest feature of elixirs in the Core Forging Realm!
Lu Ping didn't have time to celebrate the achievement of becoming an alchemy master. After throwing the only golden elixir into the hall, two jade slips flew out from the back of the hall. Lu Ping didn't have time to check them, so he put them away.
Just after Lu Ping reached the first test of the fifth inheritance, the great array that enveloped the five mountain peaks gave a loud bang, and directly formed a light curtain staircase on the surface of the array shield, directly leading to the valley in the center of the five mountain peaks.
At the same time, as far as Lu Ping's eyes could see, the broken grotto-heaven had begun to crumble. Patches of grass, trees, and hills suddenly disappeared, disintegrated, and broke apart. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
Lu Ping quickly passed through the light curtain staircase, and placed the array plate that he brought with him in the center of the huge array in the center of the valley. At the same time, he inserted more than a hundred middle-grade spirit stones and nine high-grade spirit stones into the array plate. The entire array plate suddenly lit up, and suddenly the array in the entire valley gave a loud bang, followed by the five mountain peaks shaking.
Seeing that the array was completed, Lu Ping quickly tore a space talisman on his body, and once again formed a fluctuating mirror beside Lu Ping's body.
Lu Ping's back foot had just left the valley, and the five mountain peaks seemed to be forcibly uprooted. They rose into the air, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. Then, the entire space was like a broken copper mirror, and suddenly turned into nothingness.
Somewhere in the back mountain of Qianyuan Mountain, a dull sound spread for hundreds of miles. Except for a few people who knew the truth, the majority of cultivators thought that it was just a muffled thunder in the sky.
And somewhere in Qianyuan Cave, as the five mountain peaks broke through the air and landed with a loud bang, Hong Ye Laozu, who was hiding somewhere, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Of the eight places of inheritance, six came out intact. It's a pity for Zhou Chuang. Out of the two places of inheritance, he only managed to decipher one. In the end, he could only save seven places of inheritance. Hmm, there's also a junior from the Purple Talisman Pavilion. Out of the four places of inheritance, he only managed to decipher three. Useless! "
Somewhere in Qianyuan Cave, thirty-four mountain peaks stood in various postures. One after another, large arrays were set up, covering these mountain peaks in groups of three and five. Such a fast speed of setting up the arrays was obviously the work of a famous person. However, from the beginning to the end, not a single person could be seen in Qianyuan Cave.
Lu Ping came out of the dilapidated cave in ragged clothes, only to find that he was in Qianyuan Hall. This place, which had been refined into a cave treasure by the Northern Alliance, had turned back into a hall. In the hall, seven alchemists, who were not much better off than him, were also in a sorry state, sizing each other up.
Immortal Qin came out from the back of the hall with a smile and said, "Everyone, you have helped the Northern Alliance to recover a huge loss. I thank you on behalf of everyone in Qianyuan Mountain."
Everyone said they did not dare. Immortal Qin smiled and said, "The other alchemists have already chosen the rewards for the top 32 and top 16. Everyone, follow me to the Elixir Building to choose elixir recipes. At the same time, everyone will have three days to figure out the elixir recipes left behind by the senior alchemists."
At the entrance of Qianyuan Hall, Immortal Qin waved his hand towards the ground, and a teleportation array appeared on the ground. Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Immortal Qin smiled and said, "The Elixir Building is an important place for the Northern Alliance. It is also one of the places of inheritance of the Northern Alliance. Everyone can go through the teleportation array and arrive at the Elixir Building directly."
The true location of the places of inheritance naturally could not be revealed to others.
