In a huge pavilion in the sky, Lu Ping and the other seven people were carefully searching for something in a room with thousands of jade slips.
This was only the place where the Northern Alliance collected the recipes for half-step Core Forging pills. This was obviously a space formed by a spatial magic item like the Thousand Bell Millet. It was not like the Heaven Yuan Hall or the Purple Moon Hoop, which were formed by magic treasures.
Lu Ping asked Qin Zhenren about the location of the Pure-blood Pill's recipe. He didn't care about other people knowing and hurriedly followed Qin Zhenren's instructions to find the recipe for the Pure-blood Pill.
"If I were you, I would change the recipe!"
Lu Ping raised his head in surprise, only to see Yue Jiangrui standing beside him in a stupefied manner.
"What do you mean?"
Yue Jiangrui threw a jade slip over and said, "This is the reward I got from Ziyue Cave Heaven."
Lu Ping took it and looked at it. It was the recipe for the Pure-blood Pill. He thought for a while and suddenly understood. "You still want to gamble and see if you can advance to the Core Forging stage?"
Yue Jiangrui wasn't affected in the slightest when Lu Ping saw through his thoughts. He said, "That's right. Everyone has the Essence Expanding Pellet's recipe in their hands. You came out to look for the Pure-Blood Pellet's recipe, but it seems you already have the Meridian Toughening Pellet's recipe. Since I'm your servant, it's my duty to remind you not to waste this opportunity."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give you the Meridian Toughening Pellet's recipe. But this way, I won't be able to choose any of the pellets in the pavilion for the time being. You're experienced and knowledgeable, so do you have any suggestions? It would be best if it's a recipe that can help me advance to the Core Forging Realm."
Yue Jiangrui didn't expect Lu Ping to ask him for advice. In his eyes, young people who achieved so much at Lu Ping's age were all arrogant. He had been defeated by Lu Ping and had been a servant for ten years. Yue Jiangrui was prepared to be ridiculed and even tortured. He didn't expect Lu Ping to treat him as an equal and even speak politely.
Yue Jiangrui was startled. He saw Lu Ping looking at him with a smile, so he pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment. He said, "How do you plan on advancing to the Core Forging stage? I mean the last step, perfecting your blood."
This was Yue Jiangrui's test. Although perfecting a cultivator's blood was not necessarily a secret, it was still annoying to pry into someone else's secrets.
"I have a golden pill."
Lu Ping still had a smile on his face.
"Hiss!" Yue Jiangrui tried his best to hide the shock on his face so that other cultivators wouldn't notice. At the same time, he was shocked that Lu Ping had revealed his secret so easily.
Yue Jiangrui thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there is a pill recipe that will help you."
"Golden Blood Condensing Pill!"
Under Yue Jiangrui's guidance, Lu Ping found a strange Half-Step Core Forging recipe in the Elixir Pavilion.
When a peak Blood Condensation cultivator refined a golden pill, it would be the last time they would perfect their bloodline and advance to the Core Forging stage. Because the golden pill contained a large amount of bloodline essence and spiritual energy, a Blood Condensation cultivator would usually advance to the Core Forging stage without fully refining it. Even if they fully refined it, it would cause a huge waste during the process of merging the bloodline.
The Gold Transformation Blood Condensing Pill was designed to deal with this situation. The Gold Transformation Blood Condensing Pill condensed the bloodline essence, True Essence, and spiritual power in a golden core were diluted and divided into ten portions. Then, a cultivator could take these ten pills one by one to advance to the Core Forging stage, reducing the huge waste caused by directly taking a golden core.
At the same time, during the process of swallowing the pill, even if a cultivator could advance to the Core Forging stage without swallowing ten pills, the remaining pills could be used to strengthen the foundation of the Core Forging stage. This way, there would be less waste.
Lu Ping was confident that his arcane energy was abundant and his foundation was solid. Directly refining the Golden Core would minimize the loss of spiritual energy. The last two times he perfected his bloodline, he refined the Congealed Blood Beads that were one stage higher than him before he completed his bloodline refinement.
However, this time was different. Not only was Enlightened Master Jin Li at the second layer of the Core Forging stage, but he was also a cultivator with abundant magic energy and a solid foundation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Eastern Sea's Enlightened Masters in the Perished Mystic Realm. Many of them were Enlightened Masters whose cultivation was far higher than his. Lu Ping didn't have enough confidence that he could completely refine Enlightened Master Jin Li's golden pill.
Several days later, Lu Ping and Yue Jiangrui, who had gained a lot from observing the insights of the Northern Alliance's past alchemists, returned to the cave residence they rented in Qianyuan City.
However, on the way back, Yue Jiangrui was suspicious of Immortal Qin's attitude towards Lu Ping before they left the Pill Pavilion. That wasn't the tone of a senior giving advice to a junior, but a polite greeting between cultivators of the same level. When he thought about the many mysteries surrounding Lu Ping, Yue Jiangrui began to be suspicious of Lu Ping's identity.
Lu Ping found it funny that Yue Jiangrui wanted to say something along the way. Lu Ping, who was smart, naturally guessed what Yue Jiangrui wanted to ask. Every move of Lu Ping and the others in Ziyue Cave Heaven was indeed under the nose of Hongye Laozu and Immortal Qin. The successful refining of the Jinyuan Pill did not go unnoticed by the two of them.
A Blood Condensation Realm alchemist was naturally qualified to be on equal footing with Immortal Qin. Immortal Qin even deliberately approached Lu Ping as if he was trying to rope him in in advance. As long as Lu Ping did not die prematurely, he was definitely a strong candidate to become an alchemist grandmaster!
However, Lu Ping would obviously maintain his inscrutable aura and turned a blind eye to Yue Jiangrui's expression.
Hong Ying and Wuyan had already heard about the situation of this Elixir Gathering. They were shocked by the performance of this young master in the Elixir Gathering. Now, in Qianyuan City, many cultivators were talking about the "cauldron-smashing agreement" between Yue Jiangrui and Lu Ping. The two of them were already standing at the entrance of the cave residence, waiting for Lu Ping's return.
Seeing Yue Jiangrui behind Lu Ping, their expressions changed slightly. Obviously, the news of Yue Jiangrui being a servant for ten years had spread throughout Qianyuan City. As for the position of this alchemist servant in Lu Ping's group, Hong Ying and Wuyan obviously had not figured it out yet.
How could their thoughts escape Lu Ping's eyes? Lu Ping directly pointed at Yue Jiangrui behind him and said, "This is Old Yue. I believe you have heard that in the next ten years, Old Yue will be the chief alchemist of our Listen Waves Island."
After entering the cave residence, they saw Chi Lianying lazily leaning on a rattan chair. Seeing Lu Ping come in, Chi Lianying threw a storage bag over and said, "This is Sister Xiu Zhu's father's gift of thanks to you. He also wanted me to remind you not to miss Sister Xiu Zhu's apprenticeship ceremony."
Lu Ping took the storage bag and smiled, "It just so happens that I also need to borrow Miss Chu Ting's help. This time, I must go."
After saying that, Lu Ping took the storage bag and looked inside. There were actually ten high-grade spirit stones on one side. For a medium-sized force like the Li Family, ten high-grade spirit stones was not a small gift.
Lu Ping turned around and handed the storage bag to Yue Jiangrui and said, "Do you need it?"
Yue Jiangrui looked at the ten spirit stones inside and hesitated for a moment, but then he directly took out five of them. High-grade spirit stones were quite useful for alchemists.
Lu Ping looked at Yue Jiangrui's actions and smiled. He didn't say anything. After putting away the remaining five spirit stones, he took the spiritual herbs that Hong Ying and Wuyan bought during the Qianyuan City Pill Gathering and handed them to Yue Jiangrui, saying, "You can refine as many Late Blood Condensation pills as you see fit!"
After arranging the recent plans to Hong Ying and Wuyan, Lu Ping returned to the cultivation room and took out two jade slips from his storage ring. These were the rewards Lu Ping received after passing the final test in Ziyue Cave Heaven.
Lu Ping immersed his divine sense into the first jade slip. It recorded a secret technique used in the process of alchemy: Spirit Explosion Technique!
This was a method used by an alchemist to save the elixir when the elixir furnace was lacking in spiritual energy during the process of alchemy and the elixir was about to explode.
For example, when Lu Ping was concocting Golden Essence Pellets, the cauldron's spiritual energy was too thin due to his lack of arcane energy. The first cauldron of Golden Essence Pellets was completely destroyed, and the second cauldron also had to explode two high-grade spirit stones before he barely managed to concoct a single Golden Essence Pellet.
However, the method of shattering spirit stones was too wasteful for an alchemist. Seventy to eighty percent of the spirit stones would evaporate. Not only could the Spirit Explosion Art explode a spirit stone in a very short period of time, but it could also confine the Spirit Qi within a certain range for a short period of time, preventing the Spirit Qi from evaporating. This way, it could easily solve the problem of lacking and wasting Spirit Qi during the alchemy process.
Lu Ping delightedly studied the jade slip that recorded the Spirit Explosion Technique, then picked up the second jade slip to check.
It was a very familiar and huge restriction secret technique that made Lu Ping's divine sense unable to explore it. This was a Treasure Restriction!
However, this Treasure Restriction was much bigger, more sophisticated, and more complicated than the two Treasure Restrictions that Lu Ping was preparing to use to upgrade his Natal Dharma Treasure!
Needless to say, this Treasure Restriction was even bigger than the two Treasure Restrictions that Lu Ping was preparing to use to upgrade his Natal Dharma Treasure.
This was actually a Treasure Restriction for a pill furnace!
Lu Ping sucked in a breath of cold air!
Needless to say, in the entire North Sea, only Xuan Ling Sect had a Treasure Restriction engraved on it. This was also one of the important means that Xuan Ling Sect had been able to suppress Zhenling. With this Treasure Restriction in hand, Xuan Ling Sect's supply of pills to high-level cultivators obviously surpassed Zhenling.
Lu Ping originally thought that obtaining the Na Chuan Cauldron was already a great opportunity for him. He did not expect that he would have the opportunity to upgrade it to a Dharma Treasure!
