Lu Ping refined the cauldron and immediately put it into his new storage bag.
Lu Ping walked around the alchemy room a few times, as if he was looking for something. Finally, he found a stone that was different from the rest of the floor in front of a futon beside the cauldron.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and pressed it. The stone slab on the ground in the middle retracted, revealing an array disc. In the middle of the array disc was a blue fireball the size of an egg.
Lu Ping was overjoyed. This was the fire seed of the Blue Spiritual Fire of the Profound Grade. This fire seed could be said to be Sheng Tao's most precious collection. Naturally, it was also Lu Ping's biggest gain from this trip.
This kind of spiritual fire was naturally formed between heaven and earth. According to the level of energy usage, it was divided into three ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Profound. However, the quantity was not directly proportional to the level of energy usage. Perhaps in this cultivation world, there were a few more spiritual fires of the Earth Grade than the Profound Grade.
However, no matter which rank, spiritual fires were extremely rare and could only be found by chance. It could be said that half of Sheng Tao's fame as an alchemist came from this Profound Grade spiritual fire.
This kind of Heaven and Earth spiritual fire could be used for alchemy. Naturally, it could be used for refining weapons. However, due to the scarcity of spiritual fire, most alchemists and blacksmiths used their own spiritual power to refine with the True Fire. Although the effect was not much different, it wasted a lot of cultivation time. This was a contradiction that all alchemists and blacksmiths faced.
The array disc below the Blue Spiritual Fire was called the Burning Spirit Array. By embedding spirit stones into it, the Blue Spiritual Fire could be ignited to refine. At this time, the spirit stones on it had been over a hundred years. They had exhausted their spiritual power and turned into powder.
Lu Ping sealed the spiritual fire and placed it in a jade bottle. Then, he put it together with the array disc into his storage bag.
At this time, Lu Ping had been a little numb from the series of gains. He no longer had the ecstasy from every harvest.
Lu Ping returned to the entrance of the cave. He placed a few spirit stones in a few inconspicuous depressions on the stone wall in front of the cave. Then, he struck out a set of techniques. Suddenly, the spirit stones on the stone wall flashed and Lu Ping disappeared.
There was actually a small teleportation formation plate embedded in the stone wall of the cave entrance.
In a sealed cave, a light suddenly flashed and Lu Ping appeared in the cave.
Lu Ping had just appeared in the cave when he felt a faint Spiritual Qi surrounding him. Lu Ping felt happy in his heart. It seemed that Senior Sheng Tao was right.
In the past, Alchemist Sheng Tao accidentally discovered a miniature spiritual vein here. Overjoyed, Sheng Tao decided to use this place as his cultivation base. He completely sealed the cave and used a Spirit Sealing Array to confine the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual vein in the cave. Then, he built a cave abode above it and left a secret transmission array to connect it to the cave. After that, Sheng Tao opened up a half acre spiritual herb garden in the cave for his own alchemy and cultivation.
It had been more than a hundred years since Sheng Tao passed away. It was unknown how the spirit herbs he planted were growing.
The walls of the cave were inlaid with flashing stones for illumination, and the water seeping out of the stone walls dripped onto the ground.
Lu Ping took a few steps forward, and a lush spiritual herb garden finally appeared in front of Lu Ping.
The spiritual herb garden was divided into three parts. The outermost part was where the spiritual herbs were used to concoct Blood Refining Realm pills. Most of them had already matured, but because there was no one to take care of them, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein was only enough to supply the spiritual herbs' needs, the matured seeds would fall to the ground and continue to grow. The spiritual herbs had already grown densely.
The innermost part was where the spiritual herbs were used to concoct Blood Condensation Realm pills. Usually, Blood Condensation Realm pills required spiritual herbs that were more than 500 years old to concoct. Because Sheng Tao had discovered this place more than a hundred years before he passed away, and with his special spirit urging technique, most of the spiritual herbs had already matured.
There were actually 18 types of spiritual herbs that were used to concoct Blood Condensation Realm pills. However, the spiritual herbs used to concoct the Blood Condensation Realm pills were much harder to grow than the other Blood Condensation Realm spiritual herbs. Out of the 50 spiritual herbs, only five had reached 500 years of age. The rest were not mature yet.
Further inside were three Golden Marrow Grasses. These three Golden Marrow Grasses were cultivated by Pill Master Sheng Tao with painstaking efforts. They were the main ingredients used to concoct the Core Forging Realm's Golden Marrow Pill.
The concoction of Core Forging Realm pills usually required spiritual herbs that were more than a thousand years old. These three spiritual herbs were only close to 500 years old, which was far from meeting the requirements.
Below the spiritual herb garden was the mini spiritual vein. Spiritual veins were rarer than spirit stone mines. Although they could not produce spirit stones like spirit stone mines, they could provide a constant supply of spiritual energy for cultivators to cultivate. Moreover, there was no need to worry about the spiritual vein drying up unless it was intentionally destroyed. Furthermore, spiritual veins could be nurtured and strengthened.
Furthermore, spiritual veins could be nurtured and strengthened. For example, the spiritual vein on the True Spirit Island used to be a medium-sized spiritual vein. After tens of thousands of years of meticulous nurturing by the True Spirit Sect, it had now become a large spiritual vein.
In order to prevent the spiritual herb garden from being discovered, Lu Ping gathered all the mature spiritual herbs in the garden. Two hours later, the transfer array on the stone wall flashed and Lu Ping appeared at the entrance of the cave abode.
Lu Ping placed his hand on his chin. After thinking for a while, he started bombarding the island with spells. The ravaged island was once again in a mess. Afterward, Lu Ping destroyed the entire cave abode, erasing all traces of himself. Calculating the time, if Hu Lili and the others reported what happened on the island to their superiors, the cultivators from Xuan Qi Island would most likely come to investigate.
Lu Ping released his flying boat and flew towards Huang Li Island in the north.
Not long after Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, a few rays of light streaked across the sky and landed on the island. Among them were Hu Lili and the other three Blood Condensation cultivators from Xuan Qi Island. If Lu Ping was here, he would see that two of them were Master Immortal Liu and Master Immortal Shang, who had previously made things difficult for him.
Hu Lili and the others looked at the mess on the island. Although they had already given up hope, their expressions still changed. The three master immortals looked solemn. They carefully examined the surroundings of the island and used their divine senses to search the nearby sea. In the end, they didn't find anything.
Among the three, Master Immortal Liu's cultivation was at the seventh level of the Blood Condensation Realm, so he was the leader. Master Immortal Shang looked at the two and asked first, "What do you think, Senior Brother Liu?"
Master Immortal Liu pondered for a while and said, "This sea snake must have cultivated a water-type cultivation technique and condensed the Spiritual Jiao bloodline. Its cultivation should be at the mid-stage of the Blood Condensation Realm."
Another master immortal added, "That's right. But according to Martial Nephew Hu, the Xuan Ling Sect disciple used a talisman treasure at the end. The strange thing is that even the weakest Core Forging Enlightened Master's talisman treasure should have been able to injure this snake demon."
Master Immortal Shang smiled and said, "That's more like it. I think the snake demon must have gone berserk after being severely injured. It destroyed the island and made it impossible for us to find any clues."
Master Immortal Liu said solemnly, "That should be the case. After all, five Xuan Ling Sect disciples died here. We need to report this matter to Enlightened Master Qu immediately and make preparations to prevent Xuan Ling Sect from using this incident to cause trouble for us. Moreover, the demon clan was also involved. We don't know if this was the North Sea demon clan's doing."
The other two agreed with Master Immortal Liu's opinion and flew towards Xuan Qi Island. Hu Lili and the others didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Seeing the three master immortals leave, they could only follow helplessly.
