Who in the North Sea Palace couldn't see Lu Ping's status in the Fornax Laozu, or rather, in the Zhenling Sect? He had only cultivated for a few decades, but his cultivation had already reached the mid Core Forging stage. He was a famous genius of the North Sea Palace, and now he was also an Alchemy Grandmaster. How many of such outstanding juniors could there be in the North Sea?
Liao Runjia's purpose was very simple. He was betting that Lu Ping wouldn't die prematurely in the future. He would inevitably become a cultivator in the Zhenling Sect, and his name would shake the North Sea Palace. At that time, deliberately befriending him would bring benefits to the family.
Lu Ping was also very clear about Liao Runjia's thoughts, because he had encountered this kind of situation more than once. To deal with this kind of situation, Lu Ping's method was also very simple. Who wouldn't take advantage of a situation?
Liao Runjia directly handed a jade slip to Lu Ping. Lu Ping swept it with his Divine Sense. The jade slip recorded the treasures that Liao Runjia had brought with him to the alchemist gathering. There were a variety of spirit grasses, pills, pill recipes, and so on. There were more than a hundred of them.
Lu Ping pondered for a long time and said, "I wonder if the pill recipes for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill, Soul Restoring Pill, Soul Nourishing Pill, and Divine Accumulating Pill can be exchanged?"
Liao Runjia stared blankly for a moment and said, "Lu Xiaoyou has a good eye. Of these seven pills, the first three are Qimen Pills with many uses. The last four are suitable for Young Friend's mid Core Forging stage cultivation. The Spirit Stabilizing Pill, Soul Replenishing Pill, Soul Nourishing Pill, and Divine Accumulating Pill can be exchanged, but Lu Xiaoyou must take out the same amount of pill recipes. If you take out a pill recipe that my Liao Family already has, then it can't be exchanged. The other three pill recipes are my Liao Family's secret, so they can't be exchanged. However, if it's Lu Xiaoyou, you can use spirit grasses to exchange for three types of refined pills."
Lu Ping pondered for a moment. With his cultivation method, if he didn't want his cultivation to fall behind cultivators of the same level, then he needed to find a way to increase his cultivation. However, if a cultivator took too many of the same type of pill, then the body would develop a resistance, which would greatly weaken the effect of the pill. Therefore, during the process of cultivation, cultivators would have to constantly change the types of pills they took.
With Lu Ping's current status as an alchemy grandmaster, even if spirit herbs were scarce in the cultivation world, it wouldn't affect him too much. However, Lu Ping's cultivation method, due to the strong foundation and the influence of the Xuanyuan Heavy Water, was bound to greatly slow down Lu Ping's cultivation speed. Thus, Lu Ping had to take far more pills than cultivators of the same level in order to increase his cultivation. At this time, Lu Ping needed to constantly collect a variety of pill recipes that were suitable for his cultivation stage. This was to prevent Lu Ping from not having a suitable pill to take before he had a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Lu Ping picked out four pill recipes for mid Core Forging stage pills from his storage ring. After Lu Ping became an alchemy grandmaster, especially after Lu Ping was able to refine late Core Forging stage pills, Zhenling had already opened up all the pill recipes in the sect's collection to Lu Ping. Zhenling had tens of thousands of years of inheritance, so the pills for the Core Forging stage could be considered all-inclusive. However, Lu Ping naturally had to set his sights high. For his own cultivation, he first had to choose a pill that was suitable for water attribute cultivation methods. Secondly, he had to see if it had an effect on cultivators of the Flood Dragon bloodline. As a result, there weren't many pills that could catch Lu Ping's eye.
This Liao Family was worthy of being an alchemy family with thousands of years of inheritance. Lu Ping, who had seen Zhenling's heritage, was actually able to see seven pill recipes that Zhenling didn't have. This already made Lu Ping sigh in admiration.
The seven pill recipes that caught his eye were naturally very suitable for his Cultivation Method, but it was a pity that three of them were Liao Family's secret techniques that were not passed on to others.
Liao Runjia carefully looked at the four pill recipes that Lu Ping handed over. His face showed a hint of joy as he said, "Lu Xiaoyou's vision is admirable. The value of these four pill recipes is indeed comparable to the four pill recipes that the Old Man has. Unfortunately, two of these pill recipes are already in my Liao Family's possession, but the remaining two are something that my Liao Family doesn't have. I just don't know which two pill recipes Lu Xiaoyou is interested in?"
The pill recipes that Lu Ping was able to take out were also approved by Fornax Laozu in advance. Otherwise, with Zhenling's heritage, Lu Ping didn't believe that the pill recipes that Zhenling was unwilling to take out wouldn't be able to exchange for the remaining two pill recipes. The key was that these pill recipes were the same as the three pill recipes that Liao Runjia refused to exchange with Lu Ping. They were also secrets of Zhenling.
"Then let's have the Stabilizing Spirit Pill and the Accumulating Spirit Pill!"
Lu Ping and Liao Runjia exchanged the two pill recipes. Lu Ping also exchanged one hundred and fifty thousand year old spirit grasses for the Stabilizing Wave Pill, the Falling Spirit Pill, and the Non-Perceiving Pill. Lu Ping originally wanted to exchange for three bottles of each, but Liao Runjia smiled and refused because he didn't have enough Spirit Pills on him.
Naturally, Lu Ping knew this was just an excuse. Liao Runjia definitely had more of these three types of medicinal pellets, but he couldn't possibly have too many of them. There were more than twenty Alchemists from the various sects, so it was impossible for Liao Runjia to let Lu Ping buy all of his medicinal pellets.
Lu Ping regretfully shook his head, once again took the jade slip in Liao Runjia's hand and began to look at it. This time, Lu Ping saw a rather strange pill at the end of the jade slip.
Bone Forging Pill?
This was quite a novel pill, could it be …
Lu Ping's heart was filled with joy, carefully looking at the contents of the Bone Forging Pill. After a while, he asked Liao Runjia with a slightly surprised expression, "Senior Liao, your family really deserves to be called a family with a thousand years of inheritance. You even have this kind of pill that can strengthen the body?"
Just like the Golden Body Pill that Lu Ping had obtained in the Blood Condensation Realm, this Bone Forging Pill was a pill that could strengthen the body of a cultivator. Moreover, from the medicinal effect, the Bone Forging Pill seemed to be much more effective than the Golden Body Pill. However, the Bone Forging Pill had a limit, only the first three pills could be used, while the Golden Body Pill could be used continuously to strengthen the body.
When Liao Runjia saw that Lu Ping had noticed the Bone Forging Pill, he couldn't help but smile, "This Bone Forging Pill is indeed a kind of miraculous pill. Many Fa Xiang Laozu are willing to exchange for this kind of pill from my Liao Family. I didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyou would also be interested in this kind of pill."
Lu Ping was puzzled, "This kind of pill that can strengthen the body is said to be very useful for Fa Xiang Laozu's cultivation. It is reasonable to say that this kind of pill should be extremely precious. Why would your family put this kind of pill in the list of things that can be exchanged for?"
Liao Runjia seemed to have already known that Lu Ping would ask such a question, so he replied with a smile, "Because the main ingredient needed to refine this kind of pill is a kind of Spirit Demon Fruit that has matured for more than a thousand years!"
"Spirit Demon Fruit?"
Lu Ping had a puzzled look on his face, but in his heart, there was a burst of excitement.
He thought that Lu Ping did not know much about Spirit Demons, so he continued, "The so-called Spirit Demon Fruit is actually a kind of Demon Race. However, Spirit Demons are a kind of Demon Race that can only become Demon Race after grass, wood, bamboo, or stone has gained spiritual intelligence and comprehended the cultivation method. These Spirit Demons have too many innate limitations. Before they reach the Golden Core Stage, they can not even move their bodies and can die at any time. Moreover, the Seventh Patriarch did not leave behind many cultivation methods for Spirit Demons, so even if these Spirit Demons reach the Golden Core Stage, they are often weak."
Seeing that Lu Ping was listening attentively, Liao Runjia could not help but nod and continue,
"However, in the eyes of other cultivators, this Spirit Demon is often full of treasures. There are generally two ways for Spirit Demons to awaken their spiritual intelligence. One is to instinctively absorb Spirit Qi for thousands of years to open their spiritual intelligence, and the other is to coincidentally be born with some Heavenly Treasures and be influenced to open their spiritual intelligence. The former, after a long period of nourishment with Spirit Qi, even a stubborn stone can become a top-grade Spirit Stone, not to mention the latter. Most of the things that can affect the Spirit Demon's spiritual intelligence are Heavenly Treasures."
"And some Grass Spirit Demons will often bear fruit. These fruits, as the condensation of the essence of Spirit Medicine, are naturally Heavenly Treasures. The Bone-Forging Pill uses this kind of fruit that has matured for more than a thousand years as the main ingredient. The more mature the fruit, the more obvious the strengthening effect of the refined Bone-Forging Pill on the body."
After listening to Liao Runjia's introduction, Lu Ping looked a little hesitant and asked, "Senior Liao, where can I get this Spirit Demon Fruit? This junior would also like to exchange for this pill recipe, is that possible? "
Liao Runjia's expression showed that he had expected this and said, "Let me first let you know that the chances of a Spirit Demon appearing in this world are extremely low. In some of the most inaccessible places, there may be one or two Spirit Demons appearing. At least in the North Sea, there has not been a Spirit Demon appearing for thousands of years. However, in the inheritance grounds of some of the famous sects in the Middle Earth, it is not impossible for one or two Spirit Demons to exist."
"The Middle Earth? Senior Liao has some understanding of the Middle Earth. Can you tell this junior about the situation in the Middle Earth? This junior has been looking forward to the Middle Earth for a long time. "
When Lu Ping saw that Liao Runjia's expression revealed a trace of nostalgia when he mentioned the Middle Earth, he was greatly curious and purposely asked Liao Runjia with an expression of yearning and amazement.
Unexpectedly, Liao Runjia laughed and said, "This is only a wild guess of the Old Man. After all, it is said that some of the famous sects in the Middle Earth have a long history of inheritance. Some of them can even be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago when the Seventh Patriarch split the heavens. That is why this guess was made. It is not accurate."
Seeing that Liao Runjia was unwilling to say more, Lu Ping also suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "What a pity. However, this junior still wants to exchange for this Bone-Forging Pill recipe. Perhaps this junior will have the opportunity to meet a Spirit Demon Fruit in the future."
Liao Runjia laughed and said, "That is indeed true. Lu Xiaoyou has cultivated for less than a hundred years. Based on your current cultivation, a mid Core Forging Realm cultivator has a lifespan of six hundred years. You have five hundred years to travel around the world. Old people like us can't compare in any way. Not to mention, your cultivation will not stop here. In this way, it is very likely that you will be able to obtain a Spirit Demon Fruit in the future."
Lu Ping ignored these compliments, but this pill recipe was really not cheap. Lu Ping used three hundred thousand-year-old Spirit Grass and thirty three-thousand-year-old Spirit Grass before Liao Runjia was satisfied and handed the Bone-Forging Pill recipe to the pained Lu Ping.
At this time, Lu Ping was already shouting in his heart that he had made a profit. What Liao Runjia didn't know was that Lu Ping ate one of the eighteen Spirit Demon Peaches in the Golden House. He had eaten one, given three to his master, and Qu Xuancheng had eaten one. Now, he still had thirteen in his hands. These were genuine Spirit Demon Fruits.
