Lu Ping's eyes narrowed as he watched Sage Xuanyan leave angrily but helplessly. The Spirit Cleansing Pill. Sage Xuanyan actually has the recipe for this pill.
The Spirit Cleansing Pill was an extremely rare pill used by late Core Forging Cultivators to purify their bloodline and refine their True Essence. This kind of pill could also be said to be used to solidify one's foundation. It was a pill that could indirectly help one reach a higher rank.
Although there was no 3,000-year-old spirit herb used to refine this elixir, the difficulty of refining it was no less than that of a half-step to the Dharma stage elixir. Hence, this elixir was actually a late Core Forging stage elixir, but alchemists often categorized it as a half-step to the Dharma stage elixir.
The Spirit Cleansing Pill had not appeared in the North Sea for hundreds of years. The North Sea alchemists had thought that the recipe had been lost. Unexpectedly, Sage Xuanyan had obtained the recipe.
Lu Ping came to the back mountain of the Elixir Pavilion to bid farewell to Tianlu Laozu. Tianlu Laozu already knew about the jade slip. He simply waved his hand and told Lu Ping to "scram."
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping grinned and said, "Grand Master, do you have the recipe for the Spirit Cleansing Pill? Can you give it to me?"
How could Sage Xuanyan's matter in the alchemy room be hidden from Tianlu Laozu?
Tianlu Laozu kept a straight face and said, "The Spirit Cleansing Pill recipe was given to the sect by Xuanyan Flame. However, the task of refining this pill was not given to you. Even if you are one of the best alchemists in the sect, if you want to obtain this recipe, you will have to hand over something."
This was the rule of Zhenling. There was no such thing as a free lunch. However, rewards were never stingy.
Lu Ping had no choice but to hand over the recipe for the Divine Accumulation Pill to Tianlu Laozu.
Fortuitous Furnace Laozu glanced at the jade slip, then looked at Lu Ping thoughtfully. "Oh, Divine Accumulation Pill. This is the Liao Clan's ancestral pill. It has a great effect on Core Forging Stage cultivators. I didn't expect you to have it. Although it is not as good as the Spirit Cleansing Pill, you are an Alchemy Grandmaster."
Lu Ping took the Spirit Cleansing Pill recipe from Fornax Laozu and was about to leave when he heard Fornax Laozu say helplessly, "Kid, what are you planning to do with the Spirit Cleansing Pill recipe in your hands?"
This question was a bit awkward for Lu Ping and the Pill Pavilion, or rather, for Lu Ping and the sect. If it was any other pill recipe, it would be fine. Which alchemy Grandmaster didn't have a few secret pill recipes? However, although the Spirit Cleansing Pill was not as good as the Spirit Forging Pill, it was still a pill that many people coveted. It was a taboo pill for those who possessed it.
The Spirit Forging Pill could increase the rank of a Gold Core. Although the Spirit Cleansing Pill had little effect on late Core Forging Stage cultivators who were condensing a Spirit Treasure for the third time, it was very useful for cultivators who were refining a Spirit Cleansing Pill for the first and second time. This kind of thing could only be kept in the hands of a sect.
In fact, when Lu Ping saved Liang Xuanfeng, he had already thought of this situation. The sect would never give up on the Spirit Cleansing Pill recipe. Although Lu Ping was a Zhenling Grandmaster, there was a fundamental difference between giving the recipe to the Pill Pavilion and placing it in the Pill Pavilion's inheritance. Of course, the sect would never let Lu Ping suffer a loss. On the contrary, they would reward him heavily as an example.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and smiled. "Grand Martial Uncle, I'm sure you know how many spirit herbs are needed to concoct Small Forge Spirit Pellets. How many cauldrons of spirit herbs do you think we can gather with our sect's resources?"
Fornax Laozu shook his head and sighed. "It's difficult. Let's not talk about the other spirit herbs. The Spirit Cleansing Pill is an imitation of the Spirit Cleansing Pill's Vitality Dew. The sect can only gather seven or eight portions without affecting the other pills. If we add other spirit herbs, it will take at least five years to recover. I'm afraid the sect will run out of high-grade pills."
Lu Ping shrugged helplessly and said, "It's not like the sect can refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill right now. So what if it's a while later? I'll have to give the recipe to the sect eventually. It's just that now is not the time."
Lu Ping left the Pill Pavilion and thought to himself, "Fortunately, I'm the only one who can use the technique of refining spiritual water. Only Hu Lili and I know about the Heart-dissolving Pill and the Heart-forging Pill. The half of the Spirit Cleansing Pill and the Myriad Wonder Dew are secrets I've kept to myself. Otherwise, who knows what kind of uproar the sect would cause. It's all because I'm not strong enough!"
Lu Ping set the compass in the teleportation formation in front of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. A white light engulfed Lu Ping and when he reappeared, he was already in a world of ice and snow.
Compared to the first time Lu Ping had come to Frost Island, the place had changed greatly. The ice and snow that covered the entire island had been transformed into various buildings by the cultivators of the North Sea. Many cultivators could be seen walking or flying to and fro the island from time to time.
On the eastern side of the island, below the cliff, was the secret medium-scale spirit mine that Lu Ping had discovered. Liu Tianling and Laozu had already built a rather large palace of ice and snow there. The palace was almost as large as the main and branch mines of the underground medium-scale spirit mine.
As a result, such a large commotion had indeed aroused the suspicions of the other sects and clans. However, under the secret investigation of the cultivators from the other sects, they finally found out that Zhenling had actually discovered a mine with a sizable amount of ice-type spiritual materials. Zhenling's Vice Hall Master, Sage Enigma Flame, had been 'secretly' stationed in this ice palace for the past few years. He was in charge of the mining of ice-type spiritual materials.
All the sects secretly scolded Zhenling for being cunning and taking everything for himself. Many sects proposed to "share the profits," intending to divide up the spirit material mine. Liu Tianling and Laozu did not fall for this. All of their demands were in opposition. The mighty Dharma Laozu put on a desperate stance as if he wanted the mine, as if he had to crawl over Laozu's dead body, forcing Laozu from the various sects to refrain from taking action.
Although the various sects were unwilling, falling out with Zhenling just because of this spirit material mine was making a mountain out of a molehill. At this time, the Crystal Palace intended to support their own representative in the North Sea, and Xuan Ling Sect continued to suppress the rising Zhenling. The two clans hit it off and acted out the show of besieging Tianling Mountain. Laozu of the various sects watched from the sidelines, with the intention of teaching Zhenling a lesson.
However, to everyone's surprise, Laozu shook the North Sea with the power of a mid Dharma adept. For a moment, the various sects no longer had any thoughts about this spirit material mine.
Of course, the premise was that the various sects did not know that there was a medium-sized spirit stone mine below this spirit material mine. Otherwise, when the news of Zhenling monopolizing a medium-sized spirit stone mine spread, the various sects of the North Sea would probably step over Liu Tianling and Laozu's dead body to snatch it from Zhenling's hands.
When Liu Tianling and Laozu saw Lu Ping, they immediately snorted coldly, causing Lu Ping's entire body to shiver. Then, he said, "You've been burned by the earth fire for four years. You're already dry, aren't you?"
Lu Ping respectfully replied, "Teacher, your disciple's heart has become calmer. I've learned to hide my strength and bide my time. I've also learned to plot openly and compromise."
Liu Tianling and Laozu revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of their lips, but they still said coldly, "You're still salvageable. This time, the sect will be sending a few third-generation disciples who have reached the sixth level of the Core Forging Realm to the East Sea for training. I know that you seem to have some business in the East Sea, so you can go with them."
Lu Ping respectfully agreed. Thinking about how he hadn't seen his three senior sisters in Tianling Mountain for many years, he wanted to ask about them, but his teacher had not said anything. Thus, Lu Ping also suppressed the thought of asking.
However, Liu Tianling and Laozu seemed to have seen through Lu Ping's thoughts, and directly said, "Your second, third, and fourth senior sisters were sent to the East Sea by me a few years ago. This time, they will also meet up with Uncle-Master Tian Xiang in the Fallen Secret Territory. Your strength far exceeds your three senior sisters, and your second senior sister is now also at the sixth level of the Core Forging Realm. When the time comes, you will need to do your best to help."
Liu Tianling and Laozu paused, as if thinking of something, and said in a low voice, "If you meet that person and she makes things difficult for you, you don't have to endure it. Just do your best to fight back. Uncle-Master Tian Xiang will not let you suffer."
Lu Ping wanted to pretend to be confused, but he heard his teacher laugh and say, "You sly fellow, you don't have to pretend to be obedient in front of your teacher. You have always been smart, and I'm afraid you already know a lot about this in secret. I won't hide it from you. Now that our sect seems to be doing well, it is actually very dangerous. Dharma adepts are the foundation of the sect, and with the addition of Dharma adept Laozu, it means that the sect's foundation is even deeper, so she wants to come back. It's just that this person has always been arrogant, so she will definitely put on a good show to raise her status. The more you make her suffer, the more she will want to come back and compete with me. So if you have any skills, just use them. This person will not bother to do it herself. "
Lu Ping chuckled and did not say anything else, but in his heart, he was cursing, "Teacher, you want to understand the matters of the previous generation from the younger generation? What is going on? Even if you want to understand, aside from the fallen Big Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Sister, there are still six other senior sisters. How could it be possible for a stinky ninth brother like me to come forward? "
Unfortunately, his teacher had personally given the order, clearly not allowing Lu Ping to escape. Lu Ping could only pinch his nose and accept it.
He went to the depths of the mine to visit the ragged Shi Lingling, Zhong Jian, and Ma Yu. Seeing Lu Ping, Sage Enigma Flame specially allowed them to rest for a day. Zhong Jian acted as if he had seen a family member and gave Lu Ping a bear hug. Then, he started complaining.
Lu Ping looked carefully and saw that Shi Lingling and Ma Yu were still fine. On the other hand, Zhong Jian appeared to have changed. From a jade-faced scholar, he had become a beefy man. Seeing that, Lu Ping could not stop himself from smiling. "Senior Brother Zhong, don't complain. You are becoming more like a real man!"
Zhong Jian sighed and said, "I am doing the work of three people. My primary energy is sealed. I can only force myself to cultivate, but I cannot do anything else. Not to mention, I also have to suffer the ridicule of the juniors. There is still one year left. When the time comes, I, your senior brother, will definitely teach those juniors a lesson!"
Zhong Jian had only just finished speaking when he saw Shi Lingling and Lu Ping laughing happily. Ma Yu, who was beside them, had a bashful look on her face. Immediately, Zhong Jian recalled something and scolded Lu Ping, "What do you mean by acting like a real man? I, your senior brother, have always been a real man, all right?"
After chatting with the three of them for a long time, telling them about their experiences. After that, Lu Ping requested a favor from the three of them before rushing back to Huang Li Island. There, he bumped into Fang Tao, who said happily, "Boss, it's good that you are back. I, Tianlin Laozu, have been looking for you!"
