Jingzhe Island was one of Zhenling's bases in the Perished Mystic Land. After many years of nurturing, there was now a mid-sized spirit vein on the island. Other than Tian Xiang Laozu, Zhenling's twelve Core Forging Enlightened Masters were stationed here, and the rest were over a hundred Blood Condensation disciples. This showed how much Zhenling valued this place.
Lu Ping followed Enlightened Master Xuan Rong to a cave abode to rest, while Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng followed Enlightened Master Xuan Tong to meet Tian Xiang Laozu.
On the second day, Lu Ping continued to wash his eyes with the "Bejeweled Water" in his cave-dwelling. Suddenly, someone came to visit him.
Lu Ping walked out of the cave abode and saw two cultivators looking at him. Lu Ping was surprised to see them, but he smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Wei Zihen and Senior Martial Brother Su Zipeng, it's been more than ten years since we last met on Fei Ling Island! Please come in! "
The two people outside the cave were the two cultivators who led the battle with Lu Ping against the early Blood Condensation cultivators on Fei Ling Island. In the end, they defeated Xuan Ling Sect's Zhenling.
When the two saw Lu Ping, they were stunned and didn't know what to say, but Lu Ping already invited them. Seeing that Lu Ping's attitude towards them didn't change after he advanced to the Core Forging Realm, they heaved a sigh of relief.
After the two of them entered the cave abode, Su Zipeng smiled bitterly and said, "During the trip to Fei Ling Island, Junior Martial Brother was the strongest among us. After that, all of us advanced to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm and became disciples of our respective masters. Then, we were sent to the Perished Mystic Realm to train ourselves. I thought we would be one of the strongest cultivators in the same realm as us, but after seeing you today, Junior Martial Brother, I feel ashamed."
Wei Zihen also said, "Previously, I heard from Martial Uncle Xuan Tong that there was another Core Forging disciple named Lu Xuanping under the Heavenly Spirit Ancestor. We were still a little suspicious, but now that we have seen the real person, we no longer have any doubts. It's just that Junior Brother's advancement in cultivation is too strange, and we no longer have any desire to compete. "
When Lu Ping heard the two of them talking about him, he smiled and said, "Senior Brothers, you must be joking. My cultivation advancement was only a result of luck and not my own hard work. I was influenced by many external forces, and I'm afraid that I'll have to spend a lot of time polishing myself in the future. On the other hand, Senior Brothers, you've already reached the peak of the Blood Condensation realm, and your foundations are solid. I believe that you'll be able to advance to the Core Forging realm soon."
Hearing Lu Ping's praise, Su Zi-Peng laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, Junior Martial Brother. Speaking of which, the two of us came to visit Junior Martial Brother not only to visit an old friend, but also because we have something to ask of you."
Lu Ping knew that there must be a reason for their visit, so he said, "Senior Brothers, please speak. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."
Wei Zihen smiled and said, "With Junior Brother's words, we can rest assured. We know that Junior Brother was already an alchemist when you were still in the Blood Condensation realm. In the past, you were famous in our sect for refining the Half-Step Forging Face Retaining Pill. Now that Junior Brother has advanced to the Core Forging realm, your alchemy skills must have improved greatly, so we would like to ask Junior Brother to refine a pill for us."
When Su Zi Peng saw Lu Ping's confusion, he said, "It's a type of medicinal pellet that can help one break through to the Core Forging stage. It's called the" Thought Melting Pellet ". We've already prepared the recipe for this pellet as well as the required spirit herbs. We only need to trouble Junior Martial Brother to refine it. According to our sect's rules, Junior Martial Brother can have one-third of the refined pellet."
Lu Ping used his divine sense to check the 'Thought Pill' recipe. He discovered that the effect of this pill was similar to the 'Thought Enchantment Pill'. It was slightly inferior to the 'Seven Step Marked Pill', but it was still considered one of the best pills that could help in breaking through to the Core Forging realm.
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave the spiritual herbs here. I'll be staying on Jing Zhe Island for a few days. Senior Brothers can come pick up the pill the day after tomorrow."
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed. After exchanging greetings for a while, they left.
With Lu Ping's current alchemy skills, refining these half-step Core Forging realm pills could easily reach more than 70% success rate. The two of them prepared two sets of spiritual herbs for refining the Thought Pill, and the rest was for Lu Ping himself. This was the rule of the alchemy world. If Lu Ping declined modestly, it would cause trouble. Not to mention, once Liang Xuanfeng testified, the news of him becoming an alchemy master would probably be known by other cultivators on the island. At that time, the ones who would trouble him would be his martial uncles in the Core Forging realm.
Lu Ping only spent a day to concoct the Sense Dissolving Pellets. With his current alchemy skills and the help of the Na Chuan Cauldron and the Blue Spirit Fire, he managed to produce a total of 15 Sense Dissolving Pellets from the two cauldrons. Lu Ping kept five of them and gave the remaining ten to the duo.
However, after the Thought Pill was refined, the Zhenling cultivators on Jing Zhe Island, especially the Core Forging realm masters, seemed to have received some news. Several people came to Lu Ping one after another, offering the pill recipe and spiritual herbs, hoping to refine some medicinal pills. However, these medicinal pills were already at the Core Forging realm.
Lu Ping had a limited return date, so he only took a few furnaces of spiritual herbs to refine early stage Core Forging realm medicinal pills. With his current alchemy skills, if he refined early stage Core Forging realm medicinal pills, he could reach 50-60% success rate. If he refined middle stage medicinal pills, his success rate would only be 30-40%. Of course, it was impossible for Lu Ping to refine these medicinal pills.
He had not tried the late stage Core Forging realm medicinal pills, but he had at least refined two medicinal pills for the half-step Transcendence Realm. One was the Bell Cauldron Pill, and the other was the Forging Heart Pill. It was just that the cost of refining these two medicinal pills was too high, and there was also an element of luck involved.
After spending a few more days, Lu Ping finished refining the medicinal pills for the Uncle-Masters. Due to the scarcity of spiritual herbs, it was not uncommon for middle stage Core Forging realm cultivators to use early stage Core Forging realm medicinal pills to cultivate. In addition, the Zhenling cultivators on Jing Zhe Island were isolated overseas, so the cultivation supplies they had were even more scarce. Although Jing Zhe Island was rich in resources, there was no alchemy master here. Everyone could not cook without rice. It was not easy to meet Lu Ping, so they naturally would not let him go easily.
A day before Lu Ping returned to the north sea, Liang Xuanfeng came to Lu Ping's cave residence and said, "Uncle-Master Tianxiang wants to see you!"
Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly got up and followed Liang Xuanfeng to the cave residence in the center of Jing Zhe Island.
Other than Hongye Laozu from the Northern Alliance, this was the second Dharma Laozu that Lu Ping had seen, and he was one of the three mid Dharma Laozu in Zhenling. His expression was solemn.
When Lu Ping saw Tianxiang Laozu, he was not in the cave residence, but in a spiritual herb garden. Tianxiang Laozu was dressed in an ordinary farmer's robe and wore a bamboo hat. He looked like an old farmer, tending to the plants in the spiritual herb garden.
Seeing Lu Ping and Liang Xuanfeng arrive, the old farmer patted the soil off his hands, then straightened up and said, "You're here? Come and have a cup of tea! "
Lu Ping bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Uncle-Master!"
Tianxiang Laozu walked to a pavilion and waved for the two to come over. He looked at Lu Ping and said, "That lass Xuan Ling has taken in a good disciple."
Tianxiang Laozu sat down, and only then did Liang Xuanfeng and Lu Ping sit down. Tianxiang Laozu smiled and said, "Back then, we thought that we could teach disciples like Tianlin, Xuan Ling, Xuan … hmm, and we were already very happy. We were also very happy that your Uncle-Master Xuanfeng could achieve what he has today. However, we did not expect that in your generation, your achievements would even surpass your teachers and uncle-masters. It seems that Zhenling has a bright future! "
Lu Ping listened quietly on the side and didn't answer. Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Isn't this all because of the hard work of the uncles and martial uncles? We're just inheriting the legacy of the seniors."
Tianxiang Laozu did not comment and continued, "Now that the humans and demons are at war, I'm afraid that the Central Plains will not be peaceful anymore. If Zhenling wants to take this opportunity to rise, it will be very difficult. The resistance of the demon race, the resistance of the human race, and even the internal conflicts of our sect. There are many things to worry about. If we want to break through these difficulties, we still have a long way to go!"
This time, even Perfected Liang Xuanfeng was silent.
Tianxiang Laozu continued, "It's fine if it's external resistance, we just need to unite against a common enemy. But the problem is that there are some things that we need to resolve, some things that we need to be flexible, and some things that we need to rely on others. In any case, I, Junior Sister Tian Xue, and Junior Brother Tianfan mean that no matter what happened between the two of you in the past, in the face of a great enemy, the safety of the sect is the highest priority. You can think of ways to resolve your own problems, and if you can't put down your pride, you can settle it through the juniors. You can be at loggerheads, but you must not fight amongst yourselves!"
Tianxiang Laozu's words were not fierce, but every word seemed to have magical powers, directly nailing into Lu Ping's heart.
As if waiting for the two of them to digest what he had said, Tianxiang Laozu raised his teacup and took a sip, then said, "In a few years, I will be going through my second trial. If I pass it, I won't need Tian Xue and Tianfan to work together to fight against that old man Dao Sheng. If I can't pass it, I believe that with Tianlin and Xuan Ling advancing to the Dharma stage, Xuan Ling Sect will not dare to make things difficult for me, Zhenling. Moreover, Xuanfeng, when that time comes, you will also be at the Dharma stage. With the help of the Spirit-Forging Pill, I believe that Xuancheng and Xuanshan's achievements will not be any weaker than yours. It's just a pity for Xuanyin, if not for what happened back then, his cultivation would still be above yours."
Lu Ping was shocked. Today, he had unintentionally learned many secrets of the sect. It seemed that Tianxiang Laozu's cultivation had already reached the peak of the mid Dharma stage. If he wanted to advance to the late Dharma stage and become the top existence in the world of cultivation, it seemed that he still had to go through a life-and-death ordeal.
Coming out from the spiritual herb garden, Liang Xuanfeng walked in silence, as if he had a lot of things on his mind. Lu Ping was also full of doubts, but he did not know how to ask.
From Tianxiang Laozu's words, it was not hard to tell that the sect was not as united as a piece of iron. However, this was not a big deal. A large sect with tens of thousands of people, how could everyone be united? As long as the high-level cultivators had a sense of the big picture and did not fall apart, the sect would not collapse on its own.
Lu Ping knew that these words were definitely meant for Liang Xuanfeng's generation. This time, Liang Xuanfeng had also followed Lu Ping back to Tianling Mountain. Lu Ping guessed that Liang Xuanfeng's return this time was probably to make the final preparations to advance to the Dharma stage. In recent years, Liang Xuanfeng had already begun to fuse the Tianfeng leaves into his Golden Elixir, and it was now time to see if he could form a Golden Elixir that was above the seventh-grade.
However, Lu Ping did not know if Tianxiang Laozu's words were also slightly related to him, but Lu Ping was more willing to believe that Tianxiang Laozu said these words for him to try his best to resolve the enmity of the previous generation, because at least when Lu Ping returned this time, he would at least have his revenge. Leng Qian was fine, after all, Master had not expelled her from the sect, and Lu Ping had to consider Master's feelings. If Master found evidence of Yuan Zhan framing him, Lu Ping would really dare to annihilate the Yuan family.
The next day, under the sending off of several Core Forging stage Perfected Masters, Wei Zihen, Su Zipeng, and the others on the island, the long-distance teleportation array on Jing Zhe Island slowly opened. Lu Ping and Liang Xuanfeng were gradually drowned in the dazzling light. When Lu Ping reappeared, he had reappeared in the North Sea that he had been away from for several years.
