Lu Ping already had two Blood Condensing Pills on him. Initially, Lu Ping wanted to prepare three Blood Condensing Pills, but he failed due to the public's anger at the auction. Who would've thought that he would be able to obtain three Blood Condensing Pills from Qiao Xipeng? With three Blood Condensing Pills in hand, Lu Ping's chances of breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm were much higher.
In a good mood, Lu Ping placed all the miscellaneous items in Qiao Xipeng's storage pouch into his own. In the following few months of cultivation, with a sufficient supply of medicinal pills, Lu Ping's progress could be described as tremendous. Finally, he reached the peak of the Ninth Layer at the age of eighteen. After spending three months consolidating his foundation, Lu Ping finally decided to attempt the Blood Condensation Realm.
Of course, there was something more important than the Blood Condensing Pills. It was the talisman treasure that Qiao Xipeng used. It was a jade talisman crafted by a Third Layer Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master. The silver jade talisman was smooth and translucent. Inside it, three white halos resembled mischievous little fishes swimming about.
After being used once by Qiao Xipeng, this jade talisman could only be used twice. Lu Ping still had the First Layer Core Forging Realm talisman he obtained from Qiao Xipeng's younger brother, Qiao Xiying. Now, he could only use it once. However, he managed to exchange it for this silver jade talisman treasure.
On this day, Lu Ping came to Xuan Qi Island to pay his respects to Master Immortal Liu.
When Master Immortal Liu saw Lu Ping, his eyes lit up and his face lit up with joy. He praised, "Not bad, not bad. Peak of the Ninth Layer. Your foundation is solid. You can attempt the Blood Condensation Realm now."
Lu Ping said respectfully, "This disciple is here to officially request a leave of absence from Master Immortal Liu. I will return to Truespirit Island and prepare to enter the Blood Condensation Realm. I hope Master Immortal Liu will agree."
Master Immortal Liu chuckled and said, "It's indeed a big deal. The Blood Refining Realm is only the preliminary stage of becoming a cultivator. Once you've taken this step, you'll finally be considered as a true cultivator and a true disciple of Zhen Ling Sect."
Master Immortal Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "Have you made all the necessary preparations for the Blood Condensation Realm? Have you prepared the Blood Condensation Pills? Although those with exceptional talent can successfully condense their blood without the help of the Blood Condensing Pill, the Blood Condensing Pill can not only greatly increase their chances of success, but it can also strengthen their foundations. The benefits are not small. "
Lu Ping replied, "Disciple previously gathered eight five-hundred-year-old spirit herbs needed to refine a Blood Condensing Pill. I exchanged them for a Blood Condensing Pill from the sect." Lu Ping naturally wouldn't reveal his background.
Master Immortal Liu waved his hand and four wooden boxes appeared on the ground. He said, "You've been cultivating hard and have a solid foundation. I'm afraid one Blood Condensing Pill won't be able to completely fuse the spirit blood in your body. Recently, you've been following me in attacking and defending Xuan Qi Island. The sect naturally recognizes your contributions. These are four five-hundred-year-old spirit herbs needed to refine a Blood Condensing Pill. It's your reward. You'll have to figure out how to get the rest. If you gather eight, you can exchange them for a Blood Condensing Pill. That way, your chances of success will be higher. "
Lu Ping looked at the four wooden boxes on the ground and was overjoyed. He hurriedly thanked Master Immortal Liu. "Disciple just so happens to have a few spirit herbs needed to refine a Blood Condensing Pill. I was just worried that I didn't have eight. This should be enough. "
Master Immortal Liu looked at the pleasantly surprised Lu Ping and smiled. "I know you're quite wealthy, but don't forget the principle of not flaunting your wealth."
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. "Disciple will remember that."
Master Immortal Liu continued, "I'm afraid there's going to be a storm in the sea soon. That Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Family's descendant has been running around for a while. Do they really think that I, Zhenling, don't know what they're up to?"
Of course, Lu Ping wouldn't tell Master Immortal Liu that Qiao Xipeng had died in his hands. However, from Master Immortal Liu's words, Qiao Xipeng must have some ulterior motive for hunting down the Spirit Snake. Thus, he asked, "Wasn't Qiao Xipeng trying to avenge his brother?"
Master Immortal Liu sneered. "That's just a ruse. Without Xuan Ling Sect's permission, the Qiao Family wouldn't have dared to let their descendant hunt down the Spirit Snake alone. Do they think that I, Zhenling, can't see through their ploy? The mighty Xuan Ling Sect has lost its drive and is overcautious in its actions. It's no longer befitting of a great sect."
After Master Immortal Liu finished speaking, Lu Ping didn't dare to ask what Xuan Ling Sect was plotting. Instead, he asked, "Since the situation is tense, will it be a problem for me to leave now?"
Master Immortal Liu didn't seem to mind. "Mind your own business. Xuan Ling Sect hasn't fallen to the point of scheming against you. Hehe, it's funny now that you mention it. Qiao Xipeng has been hunting down the Spirit Snake for months without any news of him. The Qiao Family didn't seem to have any reaction either. Who knows, he might even be killed by the Spirit Snake! "
Lu Ping knew that his cultivation was still too low to participate in the battle between the two sects. However, when he heard Master Immortal Liu's speculation that Qiao Xipeng had been killed, he was still shocked.
After that, Master Immortal Liu taught him some things to take note of when breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm. After that, Lu Ping took his leave.
When the disciples of Group 7 heard that Lu Ping was preparing to enter seclusion to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm, they were shocked by Lu Ping's cultivation speed. At the same time, they sent him congratulatory gifts. Spirit stones, medicinal pills, spiritual materials, and many other things. There were also some gifts from familiar cultivators from other groups.
Among the more valuable gifts were Yao Yong and Du Feng's spiritual herbs for Blood Condensation Pills. Du Feng had also successfully broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm in the past few months. Shi Lingling's gift was the same as Yao Yong's, a Blood Solidifying Pill.
With the four spiritual herbs from Master Immortal Liu, Lu Ping now had six spiritual herbs for the Blood Condensation Pill. On top of that, Lu Ping also obtained three spiritual herbs from Qiao Xipeng. With this, Lu Ping had gathered enough spiritual herbs for the fourth Blood Condensation Pill.
Originally, Lu Ping planned to use the five mature spiritual herbs from Sheng Tao's spiritual herb garden to make one more Blood Condensation Pill. He didn't expect that Lu Ping would receive a reward from the sect. This way, he could save five spiritual herbs from the spiritual herb garden.
After completing the transaction with the cultivator from Group 11 who had replaced him on Huang Li Island, Lu Ping returned to Zhen Ling Side Courtyard through the transfer array. He went to Zhenling's Pill Store to exchange for the Blood Condensation Pill. Lu Ping already had four Blood Condensation Pills in his possession.
Zhen Ling Side Courtyard was located at the foot of Zhen Ling Island's Tian Ling Mountain. The entire mountain was Zhenling's headquarters. It was protected by the sect's protective array. The entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of clouds all year round, making it look like a paradise.
This Tian Ling Mountain was a large spirit vein. Zhenling had nurtured it for tens of thousands of years to reach its current size. This spirit vein branched off into a small branch at the foot of Tian Ling Mountain. Zhenling used this branch to build Zhen Ling Side Courtyard and opened up twenty-four cultivation rooms on the main branch of this spirit vein. These rooms were specially used for the side courtyard's disciples to enter seclusion when breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm.
Lu Ping's luck was pretty good. When he arrived, a cultivator who had failed the Blood Condensation Realm came out of seclusion and vacated his cultivation room. One had to know that these twenty-four cultivation rooms were usually highly sought after and rarely ever vacated.
Lu Ping paid the Blood Condensation Realm cultivator guarding the cultivation room, which was a maximum of half a year's worth of spirit stones. After paying a total of five hundred spirit stones, he finally settled in.
The cultivation room was about two square meters. The furnishings inside were simple. There was only a praying mat, a small bed, a bamboo chair, and a small bookshelf. There was a Spirit Gathering Array on the ground of the cultivation room, which continuously gathered the spiritual energy from the spirit vein. Lu Ping placed the Spirit Gathering Mat at the heart of the Spirit Gathering Array, causing the spiritual energy in the room to gather again.
Sitting on the Spirit Gathering Mat, Lu Ping quietly sensed the dense spiritual energy gathering around him. With the Blood Vigor Pill in his mouth, Lu Ping slowly circulated the Blood Condensation Spirit Dissolving Technique. He adjusted his condition to the peak and began his final preparations for breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm.
