Before Lu Ping came out of the Hall of Zhonghua, Liu Tianling Laozu once told Lu Ping that a master refiner could control a high-grade alchemy furnace in their sect. Originally, Lu Ping thought that his master was just afraid that he would miss out on such benefits. However, when Lu Ping entered the alchemy room and saw the alchemy furnace placed in the center, he suddenly realized that his master's words actually had another meaning.
Tianlu and Tianjiang Laozu's original plan was to use this high-grade alchemy furnace in exchange for the right to use the Na Chuan Cauldron for a period of time. Although this high-grade alchemy furnace should originally be controlled by Lu Ping, Lu Ping had not come to collect it. Obviously, he did not know about this matter. The two Laozu's intended to do a cheap favor at little cost. Although they suspected that Lu Ping did not know the details, the two Laozu's were only going to use the Na Chuan Cauldron for a period of time. It was not like they were concealing Lu Ping's alchemy furnace. Moreover, once they found out that Lu Ping's alchemy furnace was of sufficient quality, perhaps the two Laozu's would return him a magical alchemy furnace. In the eyes of the two Laozu's, Lu Ping would have profited no matter what.
However, what the two of them did not expect was that behind Lu Ping, there was a master of Fa Xiang Laozu's giving him pointers. Their plan was to ruthlessly earn a fortune from the two Laozu's. No matter what, this matter also involved Tian Ling Laozu's participation. If they only schemed for a alchemy furnace that should have been in their hands, how could they live up to Tian Ling Laozu's identity and status!
Tianjiang Laozu's palm slammed on the table. With a "pa" sound, Tianjiang Laozu angrily said, "Boy, you have guts ah. You even dared to scheme against your master. Who else in the Zhenling Sect would be in your eyes?"
Seeing that Tianjiang Laozu was angry, Lu Ping hurriedly said respectfully, "How could disciple have the guts to scheme against the two Laozu's? Besides, with disciple's little bit of wisdom, how could disciple dare to show off in front of the two Laozu's? It's just that disciple caused too much commotion a few days ago and felt very guilty. I could only hide in Master's cave to cultivate in seclusion. I didn't expect Master to summon disciples all over the sect."
Seeing that Lu Ping had admitted defeat, Tianjiang Laozu snorted twice and didn't say anything else.
Tianjiang Laozu saw that the chess pieces on the chessboard had been shaken until they were jumping around. It was clear that they couldn't continue this game of chess. They could only look at Tianjiang Laozu with disdain and said with some helplessness, "According to the rules of the sect, you indeed have the right to control a high grade alchemy furnace. This Heshan Cauldron, the Old Man originally planned to give it to you. I didn't think that you would be afraid of losing out and so eagerly took the cauldron away. Do you think the Old Man would take advantage of a junior like you?"
Lu Ping cursed inwardly. If I hadn't asked for the cauldron first, who knows what kind of tricks you two old monsters would've played me into? But he still maintained a respectful and fearful expression.
Tianjiang Laozu saw Lu Ping's expression and couldn't help but curl his lips. These two were old and shrewd. How could Lu Ping's thoughts be hidden from them?
Lu Ping didn't plan to hide it from the two Laozu from the beginning. However, Lu Ping had calculated that the two Laozu wouldn't take advantage of a junior like him. The reason why he was so respectful was because he wanted the two Laozu to happily hand over the benefits so that he could leave as soon as possible. If he stayed too long, the two Laozu might come up with something. Right now, there was no Laozu beside him to guide him. Lu Ping didn't think that he would be able to escape unscathed from the two Laozu's schemes.
Tianjiang Laozu impatiently waved his hand and said, "You can take the cauldron, but leave your top grade cauldron. The Old Man and your Fornax Ancestor will take it and study it to see if there's a chance of upgrading it to a transcendent artifact. What benefits do you want? Hurry up and tell me, then get the hell out of here. The Old Man is annoyed by your slippery behavior!"
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Disciple has recently figured out the Blood Condensing Pill's external pill technique. According to Master, the sect may hand over a portion of the Blood Condensing Pill's refinement to me. Although a top grade cauldron is enough for me to display my alchemy skills, it won't be as good as a top grade cauldron that can improve my alchemy skills to a whole new level. Moreover, during the war between the two races, Elder Uncle Guo Xuanshan has already told me to refine a few more cauldrons of Meridian Nourishing Pills just in case. Elder Uncles, what do you think … "
Fornax Laozu laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you really have the guts to ask!"
Lu Ping smiled but didn't say anything.
Fornax Laozu waved his hand and a cauldron about the same size as the Na Chuan Cauldron appeared in front of Lu Ping. He said, "This is one of the sect's three top grade cauldrons. It's called the Linchuan Cauldron. Although this cauldron is congenitally deficient and can no longer be upgraded to a transcendent artifact, it's still a top grade cauldron. It should be enough to exchange for your cauldron. The other cauldron, the Tri-Yang Cauldron, is in the hands of the Old Man. As for the third cauldron, the Purple Whisker Cauldron, I'm sure you've heard of it before. This cauldron is already on the verge of breaking down. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it won't be used. "
Lu Ping chuckled as he put away the two cauldrons. He saw Fornax Laozu throw a storage pouch over and say, "You're right. Don't even think about getting something for free. In the future, you'll have to shoulder a large part of the sect's task of refining Blood Condensing Pills. Here are the spirit herbs for twenty cauldrons of Blood Condensing Pills. You only need to refine two hundred Blood Condensing Pills."
Lu Ping's face fell and he clicked his tongue. "Isn't that a little too much? Every cauldron has to produce at least ten pellets? Doesn't that mean I have to cast the [External Pellet Transformation] every time I concoct a cauldron of Blood Condensing Pellets? However, this secret technique isn't that easy to use. Furthermore, with my alchemy skills, I don't have the confidence to continuously refine Blood Condensation Pills in a short period of time without using the External Pill Transformation Technique. I don't have a hundred percent success rate in every cauldron.
Tianjiang Laozu's face darkened. "Brat, are you really muddle-headed or just pretending? Do you really think it's that easy to gather the spirit herbs needed to refine Blood Condensing Pills? As an alchemist, you should know that even though it's easy to refine Blood Condensing Pills, it's not easy to gather the spirit herbs. Twenty cauldrons of Blood Condensing Pills would take at least two to three years. Even twenty cauldrons of Pill Forging grade pills wouldn't be that difficult. "
Fornax Laozu nodded and said, "You don't need to be in a hurry to refine these twenty cauldrons of Blood Condensing Pills. As long as you finish them within three years, you'll be able to use the Pill Transformation Technique more easily. However, if you still can't refine two hundred Blood Condensing Pills, then you'll have to make up for the shortfall. Of course, if you have any extra pills, you can use them to exchange for a certain amount of thousand-year-old spirit herbs in the sect's spiritual herb garden."
Lu Ping's eyes brightened. "Does that mean I can freely enter the sect's spiritual herb garden?"
Tianjiang Laozu snorted angrily. "What a joke. Even the sect's alchemists don't have the right to enter the spiritual herb garden. Who has the right?"
Fornax Laozu understood Lu Ping's meaning. He smiled. "This brat has set his sights on that swarm of Amethyst Bees of his. That swarm of Amethyst Bees was the envy of countless cultivators at the Tian Ling's Dharma Manifestation Conference. The Northern Sea cultivators all thought that the Old Man raised them. There have already been four Laozu's from different sects who have asked the Old Man for Amethyst Bee eggs. They've offered quite a few treasures, but the Old Man has rejected them all. If this swarm of Amethyst Bees has the support of the sect's spiritual herb garden, it's not impossible to raise a Core Forging Bee Queen in a few decades! "
"There are quite a lot of good things!" Tianjiang Laozu muttered. "Brat, you've gotten so many benefits. Shouldn't you give some of your Amethyst honey and Amethyst Royal Jelly to the Old Man and the others? With your alchemy skills, using the Amethyst Royal Jelly is a waste of God's gift. Just leave it for Tianjiang. The Old Man can just give some Amethyst Royal Jelly to make tea."
Lu Ping knew that Tianjiang Laozu took on the responsibility of the Amethyst Bees in front of other sects in order to protect Lu Ping. So he smiled and took out a Jade Crystal Bottle and a Jade Marrow Bottle from his storage ring. Then he opened his palm, and a small Linglong Alchemy Furnace appeared in Lu Ping's palm. Lu Ping threw the small Alchemy Furnace in his hand to the ground. The small Alchemy Furnace suddenly expanded. When it landed on the ground, it had become a giant Alchemy Furnace that was half the height of a person.
When the two Laozu saw that Lu Ping had already nurtured the Na Chuan Cauldron in his body, their expressions were a little unnatural. But then their attention was immediately attracted by the Na Chuan Cauldron. The Amethyst Honey and Amethyst Royal Jelly in Lu Ping's hands were ignored by the two of them.
"What an ancient cauldron!"
Tianjiang Laozu's eyes lit up, and he was the first to speak!
"The foundation to upgrade it to a transcendent artifact is definitely enough. I'm just afraid that the Precious Prohibition of the several Elixir Furnaces that our sect has collected for thousands of years is not suitable for this treasured cauldron!"
Tianlu Laozu was a little worried about personal gains and losses.
Tianjiang Laozu was stunned when he heard this. He was the great master of refining, and he was already very familiar with the few Elixir Furnace Precious Prohibition in the sect. Naturally, he could tell at a glance whether it was suitable for the Na Chuan Cauldron or not. Just now, because he was attracted by the superb quality of the Na Chuan Cauldron, he neglected the problem of the Precious Prohibition.
Tianlu Laozu saw that Tianjiang Laozu's face immediately darkened after listening to his words. He naturally knew the result, and said, "It's a pity that this excellent Elixir Furnace is wasted. But is there no other way?"
Tianjiang Laozu didn't answer. He carefully examined it for a long time, and then said, "Since ancient times, there are very few Elixir Furnace Precious Prohibition that can be used directly. Therefore, not only are Elixir Furnace Precious Prohibition rare, but there are also very few Elixir Furnaces that can reach the level of psychic transcendent artifact. Legend has it that if a Elixir Furnace wants to reach the level of psychic transcendent artifact, it must have a Precious Prohibition that is created according to the Elixir Furnace itself. Although the Elixir Furnaces that our sect has collected are not completely suitable, but with the abilities of the two of us, it is not impossible to upgrade this treasured cauldron to a transcendent artifact by combining the few Precious Prohibition together. "
Lu Ping quietly listened to the conversation between the two of them. He actually had a Elixir Furnace Precious Prohibition that he obtained from the East Sea, and it was also quite suitable for the Na Chuan Cauldron. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Ping couldn't use a transcendent artifact level Elixir Furnace at the moment, he would have long thought of a way to upgrade the Na Chuan Cauldron.
Lu Ping naturally had his own plans. This Elixir Furnace had been nurtured by Lu Ping for many years. Since the two Laozu had made up their minds to upgrade the Na Chuan Cauldron to a transcendent artifact, then Lu Ping naturally had to save a Precious Prohibition, and upgrade the Na Chuan Cauldron in the future. If he took out the Precious Prohibition now, the two Laozu's minds would probably no longer ponder over a new Precious Prohibition, but immediately upgrade the Na Chuan Cauldron to a transcendent artifact level.
As for when the time came for the two Laozu's to figure out a Precious Prohibition, the two of them probably wouldn't have the drive they had now. Lu Ping was not satisfied with just upgrading the Na Chuan Cauldron to a transcendent artifact level.
A few days after the trip to the Alchemy Pavilion, Lu Ping and Hu Lili disappeared from the teleportation formation on Tianling Mountain. When they reappeared, they were already on Xuan Qi Island, which was at the forefront of the confrontation with the Demon Clan in the Outer Sea.
The two of them had just come down from the teleportation formation when they saw Chen Lian's evasive light descending. Seeing that it was Lu Ping and Hu Lili, he smiled and said, "This time, you, the initiator of this operation, just had to be the last to arrive!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "These few days, I let Tianlu Laozu grab some able-bodied men to refine the Blood Condensation Pill. How's everyone's preparation going?"
Chen Lian smiled and said, "We have to hurry. If we take too long, we might be discovered by the Demon Clan with so many Core Forging Stage cultivators gathered on Xuan Qi Island. But you have to go to Uncle Qu first. I heard that Uncle Qu wants to give you some benefits. "
