The good things in Wang Hua's storage artifact were almost divided up by everyone. What was left were mostly some spirit grasses and spirit materials. Many of these things were the specialties of Cang Ling Island. It seemed that Wang Hua had indeed put all the harvest on Cang Ling Island into his own storage artifact.
Lu Ping picked out more than a hundred thousand-year-old spirit grasses. These were the collection of Wang Hua for many years. He told Wu Yan to give the rest of the spirit grasses to Yue Jiangrui. He told Yue Jiangrui to store the spirit materials for storage.
Two bottles of Core Forging Stage Cultivation Dans were actually good things. Core Forging Stage Dans were already in short supply. Even though there were two Alchemy Grandmasters in the Cultivation Room, they couldn't make bricks without straw. The Dans were divided between Hong Ying and Luan Yu since their cultivations were the lowest.
Lu Ping also found a pill recipe called the Eastern Wood Pill. It was a kind of cultivation pill that was only used in the middle stage of the Core Forging Stage. This was a pleasant surprise. What Lu Ping lacked now was a pill recipe for the Core Forging Stage.
There were about 500,000 spirit stones inside. Lu Ping had once plundered a mid-sized spirit vein and obtained 3,000,000 spirit stones. Although he had been extravagant and spent a lot of spirit stones in the past few years, he didn't really care about the 500,000 spirit stones. He only gave a few high-grade spirit stones to Luan Yu and left the rest to Wu Yan to take care of.
On the third day, Yue Jiangrui found Lu Ping.
"Have you really decided to do this?" Lu Ping hesitantly looked at Yue Jiangrui who had a calm face in front of him.
"Yes, during this time, I have tried several methods, whether it was the Essence Expanding Pill, the Meridian Strengthening Pill, the Pure Blood Pill, the Seven Step Mark Pill, the Enchanting Thought Pill, or the other pills that I have mastered that can help me break through to the Core Forging Stage. However, there was no change in my cultivation. If I don't use these methods, I'm afraid that I will end up like my master, waiting for my lifespan to run out.
Lu Ping's expression turned solemn as he said, "In the cultivation world, there are countless alchemy recipes and countless extraordinary people. Maybe there are medicinal pellets or other methods that can help you improve your cultivation. If you use such a secret technique, although you can enter the Core Forging Realm and become a Grandmaster Alchemist with your alchemy skills, your cultivation base is ultimately not your own. Not only will your strength be low, but you will also never be able to improve your cultivation base."
"As an alchemy master, my strength is low. So what if I become the lowest existence among the Core Forging Stage? Not to mention that I have an extra two or three hundred years of life, right?"
Seeing that Yue Jiangrui had made up his mind, Lu Ping knew it was useless to try to persuade him otherwise. So, he took out a jade box from his interspatial ring and opened it. Inside the box was a golden pellet with four patterns carved on its surface. It was Enlightened Master Wang Hua's golden pellet.
Yue Jiangrui saw that Lu Ping was a little hesitant, so he directly took the jade box from his hand and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be a stingy person. What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll stay under you for another ten years. I'll use a fourth-stage Core Forging Stage golden pill to exchange for an alchemy grandmaster for ten years. No matter what, you've made a profit. "
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yue Jiangrui had already walked quickly into another cultivation room in the cave mansion.
Yue Jiangrui's cultivation had reached the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm because of the alchemy inheritance he received and the mistakes he made in his cultivation. This was also the reason why Yue Jiangrui became narrow-minded and could not tolerate outstanding alchemists in the Blood Condensation Realm. In the end, he lost to Lu Ping in the "cauldron-smashing agreement" and became a servant for ten years.
In the end, it was just a fight between Lu Ping and Yue Jiangrui. In the end, Lu Ping won by a narrow margin. Now that he thought about it, he was too arrogant at that time and lacked modesty.
The secret technique that Yue Jiangrui used was called the "Pill Marriage Secret Technique". It relied on a Core Forging Stage cultivator's golden pill and fused it into the space in his heart, allowing his cultivation to reach the Core Forging Stage with the help of the golden pill.
This was a shortcut. Although it was fast, it cut off the cultivator's hope of advancing further. No matter how high the golden pill was, the cultivator's cultivation could only stay at the early stage of the Core Forging Stage for the rest of his life. Moreover, because the golden pill was not condensed from the cultivator's True Essence, it was difficult for the cultivator to exert even a tenth of their strength in a fight. In fact, the cultivator was at the bottom of the Core Forging Stage. It was also the last resort for Blood Condensation cultivators when their lifespans were exhausted and they had no hope of reaching the Core Forging Stage.
Lu Ping sighed and threw this matter to the back of his mind. Right now, there were two things he had to do. One was to refine a batch of pills for the Core Forging Stage. This was the deal Lu Ping made with the "boudoir". Chu Ting had given the spiritual herbs to Lu Ping when she delivered the formation disk for the island's protective formation.
With such a huge secret force like the "boudoir", how could it not have a pill refiner? Putting everything else aside, Perfected Plum, who was closely related to the sect, seemed to be a pill refiner grandmaster. However, Perfected Plum seemed to have reached the critical moment of reaching the Dharma Manifestation stage, so she naturally wouldn't make a move. Even Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's hurried departure from Silver Sword Island seemed to have something to do with this.
Could it be to protect Perfected Plum?
But why did Perfected Plum only trust Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng for such a huge force like the "boudoir"? Could it be that she didn't even trust her own force and would rather trust an outsider?
Or could it be that the "boudoir", a huge hidden force in the East Sea, actually had many internal factions, so Perfected Plum had no choice but to rely on external forces?
Thinking of the Zhong Xuan's Cave, when the cultivators of the "boudoir" ambushed the cultivators of the Crystal Palace, one of the Perfected Cultivators surnamed Jiang seemed to have something to say to Chu Ting and Perfected Plum, Lu Ping was even more certain.
If this was the case, it made sense for Chu Ting to borrow his hands to refine pills. She was cultivating the power of her own faction!
Although Chu Ting was also an alchemy grandmaster, she was the master of the "boudoir" or the 24 pavilions. Not only was she busy, but there were also countless eyes secretly watching her. Handing over the alchemy to an outsider, and then secretly strengthening the power of her faction. Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Ping's alchemy skills were far above hers.
Secondly, they had to guard against the counterattack of the cultivators of the Wang family. Perfected Wang Hua was one of the only three mid-stage Core Forging cultivators in the Wang family. The moment he died, the Wang family already knew.
However, the distance between the Fallen Secret Land and the San Family Island was so long that even a Core Forging cultivator would need three to five days to get there. Moreover, if the cultivators of the Wang family were normal, they would never rush to the Fallen Secret Land so rashly. If they could kill a mid-stage Core Forging cultivator, they could naturally kill a second and a third.
Before the Wang family figured out what happened in the Fallen Secret Land, they would never take further action. However, when they figured out what happened, the constraints of the Northern Alliance and the "boudoir" would make the Wang family and the Crystal Palace hesitant to take action.
What's more, Lu Ping had already reconstructed the island's defensive array formation. With the defensive array formation carefully chosen by Lu Ping, even if the Wang Clan's two Mid Core Forging Realm cultivators attacked at the same time, Lu Ping and the others were confident that they would be able to fend them off.
To put it bluntly, Lu Ping was also gambling. However, he came to the East Sea alone, so even if he failed, he would not lose anything. If he succeeded, he would have established his own foundation. Of course, this foundation would still be managed by Hong Ying and the other two. After all, Lu Ping was not born in the East Sea, so he would have to return to the North Sea in the future.
Moreover, Chu Ting and Zhu Xuanmeng also knew some details about Lu Ping. Although their teacher, the mysterious Immortal Plum, was inextricably linked to Zhenling, Lu Ping would not pin his hopes on others to keep his secrets. Moreover, the person who had a close relationship with Zhenling was Immortal Plum, not her disciple. At least, Chu Ting and Lu Ping were scheming against each other for the sake of the "boudoir". She was trying her best to win over Lu Ping.
Lu Ping gave a part of the spirit herbs that Chu Ting gave to Luan Yu. Luan Yu could not wait to test her alchemy skills after advancing to the Core Forging Stage.
Although the spirit herb garden in the space of the Golden House was handed over by Lu Ping to Luan Yu to manage, the small mountain was still a forbidden area for Lu Ping. Lu Ping had too many secrets, so Luan Yu decided to follow him. Moreover, it was because of the need to manage the spirit herb garden that Lu Ping disclosed many of the secrets of the Golden House to Luan Yu.
However, this did not mean that Lu Ping had to disclose all of his secrets. At the very least, treasures like the Na Chuan Cauldron, the Twelve Genchen Beads, the Profound Heavy Water, and the Ninth Grade White Jade Lotus were things that Lu Ping could not tell anyone except for himself.
After Lu Ping's cultivation reached the second stage of the Core Forging Stage, there was a significant improvement in all aspects. Naturally, his alchemy skills had also improved correspondingly.
Since he was concocting pellets for someone else, Lu Ping naturally didn't want to use a precious treasure like the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly or a high-grade spirit stone to cast [Spirit Explosion Art]. He also wouldn't use a second-grade wood element spirit material as charcoal to fuel the Azure Spirit Fire.
However, even so, Lu Ping had the experience of refining the Bell Cauldron Pill, a pill that was half a step into the Transcendence Stage. Although it was a fluke, Lu Ping almost died from exhaustion from refining the Bell Cauldron Pill, and his years of accumulation was also wasted. However, this experience was undoubtedly extremely valuable to an alchemist.
When Lu Ping was concocting Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pellets, he could easily achieve a 100% success rate. Even when he was concocting Early Core Forging Realm medicinal pellets, he could still easily maintain a 50% success rate. This was because Lu Ping had just advanced to the Core Forging Realm, and he had to use all of his skills to concoct Golden Marrow Pellets.
However, Lu Ping was still doing his best to improve his alchemy skills. After all, Lu Ping's cultivation had already reached the second stage of the Core Forging Stage, which was the time when the Heart Forging Pill would come into play. However, the Heart Forging Pill was a higher grade pill than the Bell Cauldron Pill, and it was a pill that was half a step into the Transcendence Stage. However, this kind of pill was something that Lu Ping would definitely not let others refine.
In the eyes of any force, the Heart Forging Pill was an existence that defied the natural order. If news of this pill were to be leaked, the cultivation world would inevitably be in a bloodbath. Lu Ping would be the first unlucky person to be exposed.
This was also why the Liao family of the North Sea did not dare to leak the news of the Heart Forging Pill. It was also why Liao Hu risked his life to enter the Golden Fallen Valley to find the remains of his grandfather, Liao Ding.
