"Dao Li, I heard that two days ago, your sect's late-stage Core Forging Realm cultivator, Wang Xufei, was also crippled by the demonic cultivator's strange divine ability. There is also a sixth-stage Core Forging Realm cultivator named Zhuo Xuyun who is struggling at death's door. Don't tell me your sect doesn't want to exchange one or two Meridian Nourishing Pills for these two disciples?"
Standing on the stage, Tianlu Laozu took out another jade box and slapped it on the table. He sneered at Dao Li Laozu, who looked a little hesitant.
When the cultivators in the North Sea Palace saw Tianlu Laozu take out another Meridian Nourishing Pill, many of them were overjoyed. However, when Tianlu Laozu turned to Dao Li Laozu, the cultivators in the North Sea Palace paled. The few cultivators who were eager to try the Meridian Nourishing Pill immediately gave up.
Dao Li Laozu looked troubled and said, "Brother Tianlu, the Old Man has a high-grade Mystic-class origin treasure and a few top-grade spirit stones. If Brother Tianlu agrees, the Old Man will naturally agree."
Tianlu Laozu sneered and said, "Dao Li, you and I have known each other for a long time. You know very well what I need. If you take out the recipe for the Five Years Longevity Pill, I can even take out three of them, not to mention one Meridian Nourishing Pill. As far as I know, your Xuan Ling Sect has an early-stage Core Forging Realm cultivator who was injured by the demonic cultivator's strange divine ability. If our sects exchange, it will be a win-win situation. Wang Xufei also used a mid-grade Earth-class origin treasure to advance to the late-stage Core Forging Realm. As long as his cultivation recovers, he may have a chance to advance to the sixth-stage Gold Core. That Zhuo Xuyun is Dao Yan's direct disciple.
Think about it carefully. "After Tianlu Laozu finished speaking, two identical jade boxes fell on the stone table. Three Meridian Nourishing Pills in total. This time, the North Sea Palace was silent. Everyone looked at Dao Li Laozu, waiting for his decision.
It was no secret in the North Sea that Zhenling was collecting longevity pill recipes from all over the world. Other than Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling, all the major sects had profited from Zhenling in the past. At the same time, they knew that Zhenling's famous Tiankang Laozu was at the end of his rope. On the other hand, Xuan Ling Sect was obviously holding on to the longevity pill recipes. They would rather see the cultivation of their three Core Forging cultivators destroyed than give Zhenling Laozu a chance to live for another five years. Otherwise, Tianlu Laozu wouldn't have used the opportunity to cause trouble for Xuan Ling Sect.
Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh at the craftiness and ruthlessness of the older generation. Previously, the two Tianlu Laozu and Tianlu Laozu had met privately. After Tianlu Laozu was rejected, they immediately used this method to force Dao Li to abdicate. Now, it was up to Dao Li Laozu to react. If Dao Li Laozu's words and actions were inappropriate, even if Zhenling couldn't get the longevity pills, Dao Li Laozu would lose his reputation in Xuan Ling Sect. Perhaps, Xuan Ling Sect might even lose their morale because of this.
What a vicious move! Lu Ping's face was solemn, as if he was fully supporting Tianlu Laozu's actions. At the same time, his eyes were staring fiercely at Xuan Ling Sect's side, as if he didn't mind shedding all pretense of cordiality. However, in his heart, he was calculating the chances of Tianlu Laozu's plan succeeding.
Dao Li's reason was actually very simple. Xuan Ling Sect used three crippled Core Forging cultivators to exchange for Zhenling's Laozu. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good deal. However, the monster race was closing in on them. A dying Dharma Adept Laozu, not to mention five more years of life, just one or two more years would be a great help to his sect and the North Sea's cultivation world. This was righteousness. On the other hand, Xuan Ling Sect, in order to achieve its goal, turned its disciples into tools that could be sacrificed at any time. This made them feel bitterly disappointed. This was benevolence.
However, in recent years, Xuan Ling Sect had been continuously challenged by the rising Zhenling. Now that they finally had a chance to weaken Zhenling, how could Xuan Ling Sect let it go? Eight Dharma Adepts Laozu and three mid Dharma adepts. How terrifying was this force in the North Sea? The Haiyan Sect and the Shuiyan Pavilion had always been ranked behind Zhenling. Each sect only had five Dharma Laozu cultivators, and only one or two of them had reached the mid Dharma stage.
Just as Dao Li Laozu was thinking about something with a dark expression, Wei Xuren, who was next to Dao Li Laozu, suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, "Tianlu, don't even think about it. A longevity elixir is a treasure, not to mention a five-year longevity elixir. Back then, Master Daokong Laozu's death had something to do with you, Zhenling. This time, Daokong deserved to die. He only died after fifty to sixty years, and he got off lightly!"
Tianlu Laozu and Dao Li Laozu's expressions changed, and they shouted at the same time, "Shut up!"
The two Dharma Laozu's power was so great that Wei Xuren's face turned pale under the pressure of the two Laozu's aura. His eyes were still sinister, but there was a hint of guilt in them.
The other masters of alchemy and Laozu all had calm expressions on their faces. They were as still as wooden statues, but in private, they had already exploded.
"Dao Kong's death in the past was Zhenling's doing?"
"So, it wasn't some ancient ruin exploration. I knew it. How could an ancient ruin kill a Dharma Laozu? But how could Xuan Ling Sect swallow this insult for fifty to sixty years? Dao Sheng Laozu isn't someone to be trifled with. "
"I get it, I get it. Do you still remember the fight over the spirit mine on Rising Sun Island between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect fifty something years ago?"
"That's not right. At that time, Dao Kong Laozu didn't join the battle!"
"That's right. Why didn't he join the battle? That was the final battle between the Dharma Laozu of the two sects. If he didn't go, it could only mean that he died. During the battle on Rising Sun Island, eleven Laozu fought in a chaotic battle. Not only was Dao Sheng Laozu among them, there were also five Laozu in the middle stage of the Dharma Realm. How did Rising Sun Island end up in Xuan Ling Sect's hands without suffering too much damage after the battle, and then news of Dao Kong Laozu's death spread? "
"That makes sense. Looks like both sects were very secretive about that battle in the past. There might be something fishy going on. Based on what that idiot Wei Xuren said, it seems like Zhenling's Tian Kang Laozu also lost his life in that battle." "That's right.
"That's right, Tian Xue and Tian Fan blocked Dao Sheng. Tian Xiang and Dao Quan have always been enemies. Tian Kang was the fourth strongest expert in Zhen Ling Sect at that time, so the one who blocked Dao Yan must have been him. Dao Yan is a mid Dharma adept, so he must have used a method to deplete his lifespan to block Dao Yan. That's why Zhen Ling Sect has been trying so hard to find all kinds of longevity elixirs for the past fifty to sixty years."
…
Dao Li Laozu wanted nothing more than to slap Wei Xuren, who was standing next to him, to death. This incompetent bastard! Initially, Dao Li's hesitation could still be interpreted as him weighing the lives of his three disciples. Even if he gave up in the end, it was because he had no choice but to do so. Wei Xuren's words, however, were clearly telling the North Sea that even if Xuan Ling Sect had to sacrifice the lives of their disciples, they would not let Zhenling Laozu live for another five years. The same thing, the same goal, but with a different cover, the meaning expressed was completely different.
Seeing this, Tianlu Laozu could only calculate that Xuan Ling Sect did not care about the lives of their disciples. Although he sighed inwardly because he did not get the longevity pill recipe, he did not want Xuan Ling Sect to have an easy time. Thus, he said, "Alright, Old Man understands your sect's intention!"
This was akin to nailing Xuan Ling Sect's reputation of not caring about the lives of their disciples to the pillar of shame in the North Sea's cultivation world!
Dao Li Laozu's expression changed. Suddenly, he said, "It is not impossible for your sect to exchange for our longevity pill recipe!"
"What are your conditions? Speak!"
Tianlu Laozu stopped in his tracks and stared fixedly at Dao Li Laozu.
Lu Ping's spirit was lifted, and he looked at Dao Li Laozu. Wei Xuren, who was standing beside Dao Li Laozu, looked anxious, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Obviously, he was secretly restrained by someone, but no one knew if it was Dao Li Laozu or Tianlu Laozu.
"Wonder Dew! Our sect wants the Wonder Dew!"
Dao Li Laozu stared fixedly at Tianlu Laozu and uttered these few words.
The North Sea Palace was in an uproar. Many cultivators looked at each other, trying to figure out what the Wonder Dew was. Lu Ping was also confused. When he looked up, he saw that the Dharma Adepts of each sect were looking at Tianlu Laozu on the stage with surprised expressions.
Obviously, these Laozu Adepts knew what the Wonder Dew was.
Lu Ping looked up at Tianlu Laozu and saw Tianlu Laozu shaking his head. "Dao Li, I, Zhenling, do not have the Wonder Dew. The Old Man also knows where your guess came from. I thought you would ask for the Spirit-Forging Pill from our sect, but I didn't expect you to ask for this. Does this mean that your sect already has the recipe for the Spirit-Forging Pill and is planning to refine it yourself?"
Tianlu Laozu's words were like a fuse that ignited a firecracker. No one knew about the Wonder Dew, but who didn't know about the famous Spirit-Forging Pill?
The Spirit-Forging Pill was a pill that could increase the rank of a Golden Core. It could be consumed by a late Core Forging cultivator, but it was a true Core Forging pill. Years ago, when Lu Ping brought back eight Spirit-Forging Pills from Fei Ling Island, the shock it brought to Guo Xuanshan and Liu Xuanling was still vivid in Lu Ping's mind. Moreover, as his cultivation and experience increased, it became more and more unforgettable!
Compared to the Spirit-Forging Pill, the pill that Tianlu Laozu used to exchange for the Amulet Stone, which was said to be able to help a cultivator reach the Dharma Manifestation Stage, was nothing compared to the Spirit-Forging Pill.
Increasing the rank of a Golden Core not only meant that a cultivator's chances of advancing to the Dharma Manifestation Stage increased greatly, but more importantly, it meant that the cultivator would be able to go further in the Dharma Manifestation Stage in the future and become stronger!
Lu Ping's heart sank, and he immediately had a guess.
Sure enough, Dao Li Laozu's deep laughter rang out. "Spirit-Forging Pill, even in the Fei Ling Sect back then, there were only a few of them, and they were all carried by Laozu of the Fei Ling Sect. Not to mention that you, Zhenling, couldn't have collected all of them, even if you did, how many could you have? And why did you only use it now? After Jiang Tianlin advanced to the Dharma Manifestation Stage, why was he able to defeat the two famous cultivators who were on the same level as him back then, the Golden Dragon Island Master and our Martial Nephew Feng? Why was Liu Tianling able to reach the Dharma Manifestation Stage in such a short period of time, and was able to defeat Martial Nephew Feng, whose strength was far above his? Then why was Guo Xuanshan, Qu Xuancheng, and Li Xuanyin able to reach the Golden Core stage so quickly and almost at the same time, becoming peak Core Forging cultivators? "
Fornax Laozu didn't say anything, he just listened quietly. Dao Li Laozu continued, "Even if the Spirit-Forging Pill is occasionally circulated in the Fei Ling Sect, there shouldn't be so many. Not to mention that the Fei Ling Sect has been destroyed for more than four thousand years, even if the Spirit-Forging Pill is circulated, how can it not lose its medicinal properties? You must know that the higher the rank of the pill, the harder it is to preserve its medicinal properties. "
Dao Li Laozu saw that many cultivators of the North Sea Palace were listening to his deduction, and many cultivators secretly nodded in agreement with his judgment, so he said, "This can only mean that you, Zhenling, constantly have Spirit-Forging Pills, and the Spirit-Forging Pill was recently refined, so you, Zhenling, must also have the recipe for the Spirit-Forging Pill. In this way, the Wonder Dew, the most important ingredient in refining the Spirit-Forging Pill, is naturally in your hands."
