Under the careful care of Luan Yu, one or two Golden Resilience Pills in Lu Ping's Golden House matured every three years. Lu Ping used all of them to refine Golden Resilience Pills for himself. Lu Ping could feel that even without the support of Spiritual Core, his body could compete with a low-level magic tool.
However, as Lu Ping's cultivation base advanced to the Core Forging Realm, the Golden Resilience Pellet's strengthening effect was still there, but it wasn't as obvious anymore. The appearance of the Bone-Forging Pellet made Lu Ping's eyes light up. Unfortunately, each cultivator could only consume three Bone-Forging Pellets. Furthermore, the Bone-Forging Pellet was very different from other medicinal pellets. The Bone-Forging Pellet could only be refined once per cauldron. Success was success, failure was failure.
However, this also made Lu Ping's eyes light up. This method was suitable for Spirit Water Nourishing Pills. Spirit Water Nourishing Pills could only be refined once per furnace. Regardless of whether it was a Blood Refining Stage pill or a Transcendence Stage pill, a furnace of spirit herbs could only guarantee one pill. However, this way, the success rate of refining had increased a lot. In the end, Spirit Water Nourishing Pills were suitable for precious pills with low success rates. This was the best way to refine the Bone-Forging Pill.
In fact, Lu Ping had a natural treasure that could strengthen the body. It was even more effective than the Bone-Forging Pill. It was the Rank Nine White Jade Lotus root that he found in the Hundred Flowers Land in the Fallen Mystery Land. This lotus root had nine segments, and each segment was a top-grade treasure for refining the body. Unfortunately, the level of the lotus root was too high. At the moment, Lu Ping was not confident that he could refine it into a body-strengthening pill.
Lu Ping put away the pill recipes. He knew that after the various sects exchanged information, it was time for the main event of this gathering. It was time for the alchemy masters and grandmasters to show their true strength. These things were not considered as their trump cards. However, this did not prevent Lu Ping from asking some questions.
"Senior Liao, does your family have Life Essence Pills that are more than five years old? I, Zhenling, am willing to pay a high price for them and will keep this a secret for your family. "
Liao Runjia was a little stunned as he looked at Lu Ping's serious expression. After a moment, he said with a smile, "Little Friend Lu, you're looking for the Essence Longevity Elixir for your esteemed sect's Old Ancestor Tian Kang, right?"
"Huh?"
Lu Ping's heart tightened as he thought to himself that even the Liao Clan knew about Junior Uncle Tian Kang's group. But then, he felt relieved. Perhaps Zhen Ling Sect didn't hide Forefather Tian Kang's matter from the North Sea cultivators.
Sure enough, Liao Runjia looked at Lu Ping, who suddenly became vigilant, and said with a smile, "Little friend, I'm afraid you don't know this, but your sect has already exchanged for a three-year Life Essence Pill from my Liao family. For the sake of Tiankang Laozu, your sect has been searching for Life Essence Pills and pill recipes in the entire North Sea for decades. This is no secret in the North Sea. Now, your sect's Tianlu Laozu probably has the largest collection of Life Essence Pill recipes in the North Sea. In the past, my Liao family also had a three-year Life Essence Pill, but Tianlu Laozu personally came to exchange for it with some heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find another Life Essence Pill in the North Sea that Zhenling doesn't have. "
Lu Ping saw that Liao Runjia was so familiar with this matter, so he was obviously not lying. Originally, Lu Ping just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the Liao family really did have Life Essence Pills. Unfortunately, Zhenling had already exchanged for it. Although Lu Ping felt a bit regretful, his interest in the Liao family grew a bit more. Life Essence Pills were not something ordinary families could have.
In the cultivation world of the North Sea, a three-year Life Essence Pill was considered a rare treasure. At the very least, only the great clans like the ten great sects could have it. Although the Liao family itself was an alchemy family, it could still have a Life Essence Pill as an inheritance. This showed that this family was quite extraordinary. In addition, Liao Runjia's words revealed a sense of familiarity with the Central Plains. This made Lu Ping even more interested in the Liao family.
"Does Senior Liao know of any other family in the East Sea that has this Life Essence Pill?"
Lu Ping asked with a frown. From Liao Runjia's words, Lu Ping could tell that Zhenling had been collecting Life Essence Pill recipes for a long time. Moreover, Zhenling had probably collected almost all the Life Essence Pill recipes in the North Sea.
Sure enough, Liao Runjia signaled Lu Ping with his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid only this family still has Life Essence Pill recipes that you, Zhenling, haven't collected yet."
Lu Ping turned around and saw Tianlu Laozu walking towards Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Li Laozu. The two Laozu's seemed to be discussing something. Not long after, Tianlu Laozu angrily left in a hurry. Dao Li Laozu looked at Tianlu Laozu's back with a cold smile on his face.
Liao Runjia pondered for a moment and briefly explained to Lu Ping, "The matter of your sect's Tiankang Laozu seems to be related to the grudge between your sect and Xuan Ling Sect. Xuan Ling Sect absolutely does not want Tiankang Laozu to live for a few more years."
Of course, Lu Ping knew about this, but he still said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Liao."
Liao Runjia smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, the Old Man also came with a request."
Lu Ping felt a little strange, but he still replied cautiously, "Senior is too polite. If Senior has any request, as long as it is within Junior's ability, I will do my best."
Liao Runjia sternly said, "This old man has also heard about your esteemed sect's Daoist Xuan Sen. Before today, there were many alchemists in the northern sea's alchemy world who scoffed at the Spirit Water Pill Nurturing Technique. However, my Liao Clan knows that this alchemy technique truly exists. Today, I wish to exchange for a Spirit Water Vein Nurturing Pill that can cure Daoist Xuan Sen."
"Oh!"
Lu Ping disapprovingly took out a small jade crystal box from his storage ring. Ever since Lu Ping used the Spirit Water Meridian Incubating Pill to save Spiritual Master Xuan Sen from the brink of collapse, Zhenling had attached great importance to it. Fornax Laozu directly threw a bag of spiritual herbs to Lu Ping and asked him to refine ten pills first.
What kind of person was Lu Ping? Naturally, he wouldn't hand over as many pills as he could refine. Therefore, other than the ten pills he gave to Fornax Laozu, Lu Ping kept three for himself. Fornax Laozu didn't even ask.
Liao Runjia looked at the jade crystal box in Lu Ping's hand. Lu Ping used a see-through technique, and Liao Runjia could see the Spirit Water Meridian Incubating Pill through the surface of the jade crystal box. A trace of joy immediately appeared on his face. However, when he saw the disapproving expression on Lu Ping's face, he hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Ping, "Little Friend, I'm afraid you still don't know the value of the Spirit Water Meridian Incubating Pill, right?"
Lu Ping was startled. "What do you mean, Senior?"
"After your esteemed sect's Daoist Master Xuan Sen, in recent years, several Core Forging Enlightened Masters from various sects in the north sea were ambushed by the Demon Clan. Although a few of them were lucky enough to escape, they also lost all of their blood vessels and lost all of their cultivation. Three of them died when their cultivation collapsed and their lifespans ran out. Four of them barely managed to stay alive, but they were struggling at death's door and didn't have many days left. The Demon Clan's strange divine ability has already caused fear in the hearts of cultivators from various sects. After all, it's normal to have casualties when fighting against Demon Clan cultivators. But now, once they are injured, their cultivation will be destroyed. How can this not make the cultivators of the various sects feel restrained? "
Hearing Liao Runjia's words, Lu Ping was puzzled. "If that's the case, our sect's Uncle-Master Xuan Sen's cultivation should've been restored long ago. The sects should've already known about it. Why do so many people seem to not agree with the Spiritual Water Pill Incubating Technique at the beginning? Some of them don't even know about it."
Liao Runjia smiled helplessly. "Daoist Master Xuan Sen was the only late-stage Core Forging Cultivator who survived the series of ambushes from the Demon Clan. Most of the North Sea's alchemists thought that it was because Daoist Master Xuan Sen's late-stage alchemy cultivation was so high that he didn't suffer any injuries. It wasn't because of the miraculous effect of the Spiritual Water Pill Incubating Technique."
Lu Ping was enlightened. "So that's how it is. But Senior Liao, how much do you think this pill is worth?"
"This thing is a treasure!"
A voice interrupted. Lu Ping looked at the speaker in surprise. It was a middle-aged cultivator with an imposing appearance.
"Brother Ai, why did you also take a fancy to this Spiritual Water Pill Incubating Technique?"
Liao Runjia couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged cultivator nodded at Liao Runjia and smiled at Lu Ping. "Lu Xiaoyou, I'm Ai Zhong. Ai Botao is my nephew."
Lu Ping thought of Ai Botao's cross-dressing girl, but the middle-aged cultivator didn't mention it. Lu Ping hurriedly cupped his hands. "So it's Senior Ai. How is Brother Ai Botao?" Ai Zhong smiled bitterly.
Ai Zhong smiled wryly and said, "He's not doing too well. In recent years, Little Friend Lu and the others have made remarkable achievements in the North Sea. That nephew of mine is also someone who refuses to admit defeat. A few days ago, he also went to fight the Demon Race with his life, but he almost lost his life. He was hit by the strange magic of the Demon Race that Brother Liao mentioned."
Lu Ping was startled. "How is Brother Ai now?"
Ai Zhong smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, this kid is still young and doesn't have to worry about his lifespan running out. However, his cultivation is almost crippled and he has no spirit. His life is no different from being dead. Originally, I was skeptical about the Spiritual Water Pill Incubating Technique. This time, I came to the gathering to ask Fornax Laozu for help, but I didn't expect to run into Lu Xiaoyou. It seems that the Spiritual Water Pill Incubating Technique came from Lu Xiaoyou. Lu Xiaoyou can't just watch him die! "
Lu Ping couldn't care less about the joke in Spiritual Master Ai Zhong's last sentence. Lu Ping had worked with the Ai siblings several times and had a good relationship. In addition, the Ai family was also a major force in the North Sea with Fa Xiang Laozu overseeing it. Making friends with such a powerful force was certainly something the seniors of the sect would like to see.
Lu Ping quickly took out another box from his interspatial ring and said, "This Water Spirit Meridian Nourishing Pellet isn't easy to concoct, so I don't have many with me. Senior Ai, please take this one. Saving Brother Ai is more important."
Ai Zhong's expression relaxed when he saw Lu Ping handing him the crystal box. His previous helpless expression was gone. "Lu Xiaoyou is indeed impatient. However, with Little Friend's help, there's no need to be anxious. Hmph, that kid has always been proud and arrogant. This can be considered a lesson for him to learn that there's always someone better out there. Since he won't die for the time being, it's better to let him live for a few more days to learn."
