In the Earth-grade cave dwelling, Lu Ping handed Wu Yan another 360,000 spirit stones and asked him to renew the lease for another year. Hong Ying brought the large amount of spirit herbs he had purchased in Qianyuan City and escorted Yue Jiangrui back to the Perished Mystic Realm. Chi Lianying, who had already advanced to the Core Forging Realm, also accompanied him.
Once a cultivator reached the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm, they could attempt to break through to the Core Forging Realm. However, most of the cultivators who tried would fail. Therefore, most cultivators would slow down during this stage so that they could build a good foundation. However, Lu Ping was obviously more focused on perfection. He had slowed down his pace of breaking through to the Core Forging Realm.
With Yue Jiangrui's free labor, Lu Ping no longer had to concoct cultivation pills for the late Blood Condensation Realm. Especially after he obtained the Three Jade Spirit Pill from the Elixir Association, Lu Ping's cultivation had been slowly but steadily improving.
Lu Ping did not ask Yue Jiangrui to concoct the Essence Expanding Pill, Meridian Strengthening Pill, and Pureblood Pill. Even without Chu Ting's high-grade pill furnace, Lu Ping's pill concoction skills had undoubtedly improved. With the help of the Azure Spiritual Fire and the newly acquired Spirit Explosion Technique, Lu Ping's success rate was still around 50% to 60%. This was because Lu Ping was really reluctant to use the Amethyst Royal Jelly. Otherwise, Lu Ping's success rate might very well be the same as Zhou Chuang of the Northern Alliance, reaching 70%.
Unfortunately, these pills were extremely precious for consolidating a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator's foundation. A cultivator could only consume three pills at most before they were ineffective.
After Lu Ping swallowed the Meridian Toughening Pill and the Essence Expanding Pill, they played a great role. The toughness of Lu Ping's blood and the density of his magic power had a lot of room for improvement. This also allowed Lu Ping to extend his cultivation time by half a year. After cultivating the magic power in his body to saturation, Lu Ping discovered that the density of the magic power in his body had increased by a third!
This time, even if Lu Ping were to use the Great Genchen Formation, he wouldn't end up like he did with Daoist Jin Li. After just a few rounds, he had been so exhausted that he had vomited blood and been seriously injured due to the lack of transcendence energy. It must be known that Lu Ping's Great Genchen Formation had yet to be perfected. Once it was perfected, the amount of transcendence energy required to use this set of magic tools would be even greater.
The pure blood pill once again proved the strangeness of Lu Ping's bloodline.
The most important function of the pure blood pill was to purify one's transcendence energy. If the Essence Expanding Pill could be said to be able to thicken a cultivator's transcendence energy, then the pure blood pill could be said to be "pure".
However, after Lu Ping swallowed the pure blood pill, the pure medicinal energy within Lu Ping's blood vessels did not have the slightest effect. It was as if Lu Ping's bloodline was so pure that he didn't need the pure blood pill anymore.
The pure blood pill's medicinal energy circulated within Lu Ping's blood vessels. Apart from the spiritual energy that was useful for cultivation, which was refined into transcendence energy, the rest of the medicinal energy was wasted.
Lu Ping was puzzled and couldn't be bothered to think about it. He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. There were only three purple pills inside.
Seven Step Marked Pill!
This was the pill that Lu Ping had refined using the two sets of spiritual herbs provided by the Li Clan when he was on the Three Clan Island.
At that time, because of Chu Ting's arrival, Li Maolin and his daughter, who didn't trust Lu Ping's alchemy skills, only gave Lu Ping two sets of spiritual herbs. They said that as long as Lu Ping could successfully refine a Seven Step Marked Pill, it would be enough. Lu Ping just happened to make a fortune. Two sets of Seven Step Marked Pills, a total of four pills were refined. Other than one for the Li Clan, the other three were given to Lu Ping for free.
Lu Ping had taken the Enchanting Thought Pill before. This kind of pill could allow Lu Ping to reach the Core Forging Stage first, allowing him to experience the realms of a Core Forging Stage cultivator. This experience was still vivid in his mind, and it stimulated Lu Ping's desire to advance to the Core Forging Stage.
When Lu Ping finished refining the three Seven Step Marked Pills, a huge wave of energy surged through Lu Ping's blood vessels like an awakened dragon. The nine Condensed Blood Pills in the core space formed a concentric circle and began to slowly revolve. The nine Condensed Blood Beads revolved faster and faster, as if they had a tacit understanding. Layer after layer of bloodline essence was stripped from the nine Condensed Blood Beads. Then, the nine layers of bloodline essence condensed together, and a golden light enveloped the entire core space. After the light faded, a drop of golden true essence liquid flowed within the core space.
The nine Condensed Blood Beads' bloodline essence was stripped faster and faster, and more and more golden true essence liquid condensed. However, Lu Ping's bloodline seemed to be lacking in strength, as if it was lacking something extremely important. A deep sense of hunger and thirst once again filled Lu Ping's blood vessels.
The opportunity had arrived!
A Blood Condensation cultivator needed to replenish his bloodline one last time before condensing his Golden Core. This was the perfect time.
Only after replenishing his bloodline could Lu Ping finally condense his Golden Core.
Lu Ping took out a jade bottle. Inside the bottle were ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills refined from Daoist Master Jin Li's Golden Core! They could be used to replenish Lu Ping's own bloodline.
Although these Gold Condensed Blood Pills were top-notch half-step Core Forging pills, with Lu Ping's current alchemy skills, it was impossible for him to completely refine the Golden Core into ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills.
These ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills were actually the work of Yan Wujiu. That day, Yan Wujiu had stayed in Lu Ping's cave for several days. Besides entrusting Luan Yu to Lu Ping and teaching Lu Qin a set of secret cultivation techniques, Yan Wujiu had spent the rest of the time waiting for Lu Ping to ask for guidance.
Not paying respect to an expert was the greatest sin. Lu Ping naturally would not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It had to be known that the other party was an Alchemy Grandmaster. Otherwise, with Yan Wujiu's late Core Forging cultivation, how could he possibly stand on equal footing with Hong Ye Laozu?
Besides consulting Yan Wujiu on a large number of alchemy skills, Lu Ping also asked Yan Wujiu to help him refine the Gold Condensed Blood Pills.
This allowed Lu Ping to witness the elegance of an Alchemy Grandmaster. A top-grade pill furnace, a high-tier Earth Grade Heaven Spirit Fire "Nine Tune Mystical Yellow Flame", a simple technique to control the fire, and a complicated hand seal for condensing the pill. The entire process was as smooth as water flowing into a canal, without the slightest trace of craftsmanship.
Lu Ping believed that apart from the purification process, Lu Ping's improved Purification Technique was not inferior to Yan Wujiu's Purification Technique. In other aspects, the gap was simply incalculable.
The pill furnace opened, and ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills gushed out. Lu Ping and Yue Jiangrui, who were observing from the side, were dumbstruck, indescribably shocked.
This was simply too easy. This was the alchemy skills of a Grandmaster!
While the two were still immersed in Yan Wujiu's godly alchemy skills, unable to extricate themselves, Yan Wujiu faintly smiled, and quietly left Lu Ping's cave.
When Lu Ping and Yue Jiangrui both let out a long sigh of relief, they both had gained something. Only then did they realize that Yan Wujiu had already left. There was only a Jade Crystal Bottle left in the alchemy room, and within it were the ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills.
The reason why Lu Ping had asked Yan Wujiu to refine the pills, apart from the fact that his own alchemy skills were unable to refine the entire Gold Core into ten pills, there was another important reason: Lu Ping hoped to obtain a complete bloodline.
A complete Gold Core was undoubtedly a relatively complete bloodline. If Lu Ping used his full strength, even if he couldn't reach the level of ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills, he would still be able to refine six or seven of them. However, if he did so, he would undoubtedly lose a portion of his Gold Core bloodline. Unknowingly, Lu Ping believed that in terms of bloodline replenishment, the more complete the bloodline, the more perfect the foundation bloodline would be. At the very least, in the two previous bloodline replenishment processes, Lu Ping's cultivation had advanced only after he had refined the last Condensed Blood Bead.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. After Lu Ping had refined the Seven Step Marked Pill, the nine Condensed Blood Beads in his core space had completely transformed into True Essence Pill Liquid. His heartbeat had become increasingly powerful, and his blood flowed through his veins, issuing sounds akin to the rising and falling tides.
At this moment, it was as if the strength that he had accumulated for a long time had been completely exhausted. Lu Ping made a prompt decision, and swallowed a Gold Condensed Blood Pill into his abdomen, and began to refine it. The huge amount of True Essence that had been dormant in the pill was still mixed with the bloodline replenishment, and was forcibly swallowed by Lu Ping's foundation bloodline.
As Lu Ping swallowed one Gold Condensed Blood Pill after another, Lu Ping's foundation bloodline became more and more complete. A pressure that Lu Ping hadn't noticed spread out from the cultivation room, and it continued to grow stronger.
After he finished refining the ten Gold Condensed Blood Pills, Lu Ping's bloodline contained an immeasurable amount of True Essence. The nine Condensed Blood Beads in his core space had already transformed into 1,296 drops of True Essence Liquid. The 12 Genchen Beads surrounded the drops of True Essence Liquid in the center of his core space. At the same time, the True Essence Liquid in his bloodline was gradually being refined by Lu Ping, and it continuously gathered in his core space before being assimilated by the True Essence Liquid. The 1,296 drops of True Essence Liquid slowly expanded, and the entire core space was covered in layers of dazzling golden light.
At this moment, Lu Ping felt a loud "rumble" within his body. It was as if a spirit had been born within his bloodline, and a roar that seemed to come from ancient times accompanied the completion of his bloodline. A completely new and unprecedented feeling enveloped Lu Ping's entire body.
When the spirit of his bloodline awakened, Lu Ping's core space suddenly began to expand. 1,926 drops of True Essence Liquid merged in pairs, turning into 648 drops, then into 324 drops … …
As the number of True Essence Liquid fused decreased, each drop of True Essence Liquid became larger and larger. When the True Essence Liquid once again transformed into the nine huge True Essence Beads, the 12 Life Genchen Beads that were originally rotating slowly suddenly sped up. A huge amount of spiritual power began to gather within Lu Ping's body, and at the same time, the nine huge True Essence Beads also began to gather towards the center of his core space.
Wu Yan was already in the cultivation room outside the cave. The increasingly heavy pressure that Lu Ping was emitting was suppressing him to the point that he did not dare to move. This pressure was not only the pressure from Lu Ping's Divine Sense, but it was also accompanied by an indescribable pressure that seemed to come from his bloodline.
However, at this moment, Wu Yan could no longer care about his body being suppressed to the point that he could not move. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were sluggish as he stared at the slowly forming vortex of spiritual energy above the cave!
