In his excitement, Lu Ping concocted his second batch of Blood Condensing Pellets. Once again, he used the External Pellet Transformation Technique. Another twelve Blood Condensing Pellets were produced amidst the deafening cheers of the side hall disciples. In addition to the eight Blood Condensing Pellets that Tao Xuanfang had concocted, each of the top 32 disciples in the side hall's competition would receive a Blood Condensing Pellet as a reward. This was something that Zhen Ling Sect had never seen before!
The Water Sword Immortal and Alchemist Lu Xuanping had actually managed to refine the Outer Pill Transformation Art at the end of the monastery competition. This news naturally wouldn't be hidden, and it would quickly be spread by cultivators. The entire Northern Sea's cultivation world would soon learn of it.
"Is there any place in the sect that can accommodate grandmaster Lu Xuanping?"
"Master's reprimand is correct. Disciple really was too impulsive this time. It was just that I didn't want to lose this chance to comprehend sword arts. But then I also didn't expect to comprehend the Outer Pill Transformation Art while refining the Blood Condensing Pill!"
Within the Chonghuang Palace, Lu Ping looked at his angry teacher and hastily explained with a smile.
"For you to rush back to the Chonghuang Palace this time, what are you plotting?"
Lu Ping carefully looked at his teacher sitting at the front. His expression seemed much better now. His teacher had clearly just wanted to teach him a lesson so he would remember it. He smiled. "Disciple can't hide this little scheme of mine from master. Disciple's trip to the monastery this time coincidentally ended up with a great harvest. So I want to borrow teacher's precious land to cultivate. The spiritual qi here is as dense as a large scale spirit vein. Disciple's Soundwave Manor can't compare to it no matter what."
Liu Tianling scolded, "Crafty fellow, you must have avoided quite a few people to rush back in such a hurry. Now you even dare to plot against Fa Xiang Laozu. Do you think Fa Xiang Laozu is so easy to plot against?"
"That's why I'm here to seek help from Teacher!"
On the second day after the monastery competition, the Refining Hall's Hall Master, Tian Jiang Laozu, sent a message for Lu Ping to make a trip to the Refining Hall. However, the disciple in charge of sending the message was unable to find any trace of Lu Ping even after searching all over Heavenly Spirit Mountain. Since that disciple was unable to find him, he went to ask all of Lu Ping's friends and fellow disciples about Lu Ping's whereabouts. That caused Hu Lili and the others to be a bit flabbergasted. Only then did they realize that Lu Ping had once more disappeared after the monastery competition.
After not seeing any trace of Lu Ping for several days, Hu Lili and the others began to panic. They immediately thought back to how Lu Ping had been in the limelight that day. Could it be that Lu Ping had already been killed? After all, an alchemy grandmaster like Lu Ping was someone that the demon race and even other sects would want to eliminate as soon as possible. Furthermore, with Lu Ping's strength, if someone wanted to kill Lu Ping so stealthily, that person would have to be at least a peak late Core Forging expert.
But then everyone noticed that Lu Ping's mind lamp hadn't been extinguished. If that was the case, could it be that Lu Ping hadn't been killed, but had instead been captured? After all, a living alchemy grandmaster was much more useful than a dead one.
When Li Xuan Ru heard about this matter, she immediately went to the Palace of Zhong Hua to report the matter to Liu Tianling. However, she was told by Liu Tianling's personal maid that Laozu was in seclusion and wouldn't be receiving any guests!
Li Xuan Ru was lost in thought. After returning to her cave, she sent her disciples to accompany Hu Lili and the others to search for Lu Ping.
In the back mountain of the Alchemy Pavilion, an old man in his sixties appeared out of nowhere. He held a wooden staff in his hand and walked towards Tianlu Laozu's alchemy room.
"Junior Brother, you can sit still. That is a top-grade alchemy furnace. Don't you want to take a look at it? What if it has the potential to be upgraded to a magic treasure?"
"So what if it can be upgraded to a magic treasure? Don't tell me you can snatch it from his hands? "
Tianlu Laozu said helplessly as he looked at the old man who was slowly walking into the alchemy room.
"If it can really be upgraded to a magic treasure, with that kid's strength, how would he dare to carry a magic treasure pill furnace on him? Naturally, the sect will have to step forward and make it the sect's most precious treasure. Only then will we be able to stop others from coveting it. In this way, you will be able to use a magic treasure pill furnace to refine pills. At that time, wouldn't our sect's strength increase?"
"That kid obtained that alchemy furnace by chance. It has nothing to do with the sect. How can you use his alchemy furnace for public use?"
The old man's face turned red. He snorted and said, "If the Old Man upgraded his alchemy furnace to a magic treasure, won't he be grateful and take it out to contribute to the sect? You have to know the value of a magic treasure alchemy furnace in the North Sea. In the entire North Sea, only that bastard Dao Sheng of the Xuan Ling Sect has one! "
Tianlu Laozu smiled. "He is only at the early stage of Core Forging, and his alchemy skills have only just reached the level of a Grandmaster Alchemist. A high-grade alchemy furnace is enough for him to fully utilize his alchemy skills. Do you think he needs to upgrade a top-grade alchemy furnace to a magic treasure? I'm afraid he won't even be able to use it."
The old man was surprised and said, "The Old Man has never thought about that." Then he said angrily, "If worst comes to worst, the Old Man will throw away his pride and ask that girl Tian Ling to step in. You can give him the Linchuan Cauldron first. When his alchemy skills reach the level of a Grandmaster, who would dare to refuse his alchemy furnace? At that time, he might even get a cauldron magic treasure for free. "
Tianlu Laozu chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Tianjiang, why do you think that girl Tian Ling has been in closed-door training recently? And where is that kid hiding?"
The old man was Zhenling's famous Alchemist Grandmaster, the Master of the Alchemy Hall, Tianjiang Laozu.
Tianjiang Laozu was stunned and said angrily, "I was wondering where that kid was hiding. If Xuan Shan and the others hadn't been guarding the sea around Tian Ling Mountain, the Old Man would have thought that it was some old monster from the Demon Clan or some other sect who had mastered some secret technique that allowed them to enter and leave Tian Ling Mountain without anyone noticing. They kidnapped that kid!"
Tianlu Laozu looked at the furious Tianjiang Laozu and laughed. Tianjiang Laozu's temper was explosive, but his mind wasn't slow. He immediately said, "No, even if that girl Tian Ling was messing around with her disciple, it is still a top level alchemy furnace. With the Old Man's understanding of you, there is no way you wouldn't care about it."
Tianlu Laozu pointed at Tianjiang Laozu and smiled, "Xuan Sen is still here. Three months are almost up. Without the Spirit Water Cultivating Pellet, Xuan Sen's cultivation base will be destroyed and his lifespan will run out. How long do you think he can hide?"
The Sky River Ancestor slapped his head and said in annoyance, "How could I forget about that? No wonder you're not worried at all, you old ghost. When that brat comes out, I'm afraid he'll know that I'm looking for him all over the world. At that time, won't he ask for an exorbitant price? This brat sure has guts. He really has the same temperament as that girl Tian Ling. He actually dared to scheme against this old man. No wonder Tian Ling is so protective of him! "
In his master's cave, Lu Ping used the large spirit vein in the Chong Hua Palace to leisurely cultivate for more than a month. He carefully organized his gains during this time and tried to improve the Spirit Water Cultivating Pellet several times in an attempt to upgrade it to a Core Forging level pellet. After referring to a large number of healing pellet recipes in Zhenling's collection and wasting a large number of thousand-year-old spirit herbs, Lu Ping finally managed to upgrade the pellet to a Core Forging level pellet.
After coming out, Lu Ping bid farewell to Liu Tianling and Laozu. Only then did he receive news that Tianjiang Laozu had been looking for Lu Ping recently. If it wasn't for the fact that Liu Tianling and Laozu's Chong Hua Palace had been closed because of his closed-door cultivation, Tianjiang Laozu would have already come looking for him.
In the back mountain of the Alchemy Pavilion, Lu Ping had just descended when two mountain-like intents locked onto him. Then, like a volcanic eruption, the intents carried traces of anger and pressed towards Lu Ping.
Lu Ping didn't feel anything. He smiled and continued walking towards Tianlu Laozu's pellet recipe.
What Lu Ping didn't know was that Tianlu and Tianjiang Laozu, who had already noticed Lu Ping's arrival, looked at each other in shock. This kid could actually ignore Fa Xiang Laozu's intent pressure!
Lu Ping naturally couldn't ignore Fa Xiang Laozu's intent pressure. It was just that he felt that the two Laozu's pressure wasn't that heavy. He didn't know that the two Laozu's in the pellet room were angry at his scheming. They actually wanted to make him suffer a little first. Lu Ping was a little nervous because the two Laozu's actually didn't make him suffer. It was impossible for the two Laozu's to not see that he was trying to bully them. Could it be that the two of them didn't put the Na Chuan Cauldron in their eyes?
What he didn't know was that it wasn't that the two Laozu's didn't give him a light punishment. It was just that this light punishment didn't have much effect on him.
Lu Ping entered the pellet room and saw that there was actually a pellet furnace in the middle of Tianlu Laozu's pellet room. Lu Ping curiously scanned the pellet furnace with his Divine Thought. He was a little disappointed to find that this pellet furnace wasn't one of Zhenling's three top-grade pellet furnaces. It was a high-grade pellet furnace.
A high-grade cauldron was placed in the alchemy room of an Avatar Realm Alchemy Grandmaster. Lu Ping chuckled in his heart.
Tianlu Laozu and an old man with a wooden staff were sitting face to face playing chess. Two cups of spiritual tea were placed on the side, slowly emitting a green mist. Lu Ping, who was very fond of spiritual tea, instantly knew that the quality of these two cups of spiritual tea was probably not as good as the top-grade spiritual tea he made with royal jelly.
"Disciple Lu Xuanping greets Martial Uncle Tian Lu and Martial Uncle Tian Jiang!" Lu Ping bowed respectfully.
Tianlu Laozu raised his eyes from the chessboard and glanced at Lu Ping. "You're here today to deliver the Spirit Water Meridian Nourishing Pill?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Yes, Grand Martial Uncle. Although I'm slow-witted and wasted a lot of spirit herbs, I was lucky enough to concoct two spirit water pellets. I'm also almost done with the Core Forging Grade spirit water meridian nurturing pellets."
"Oh, not bad."
Tianlu Laozu praised him. At the same time, he glanced at Tianjiang Laozu. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ping spoke first. "Other than giving these pills to Elder Xuansen, I actually have another matter to discuss."
Tianlu Laozu looked at Lu Ping in surprise. "What is it?"
Lu Ping chuckled and pointed at the cauldron in the middle of the cauldron. "I'm now a Grandmaster Alchemist. According to the sect's rules, I'm allowed to control a high-grade cauldron!"
Tianlu Laozu was stunned!
