"Senior Yan, you've come from afar. I've failed to welcome you and wasted so much of your time. I hope Senior won't blame me for my lack of manners!"
The old man in front of him was the alchemist of the Fire Phoenix clan, Yan Wujiu, who had entrusted Luan Yu to Lu Ping!
At this time, Lu Ping could tell from Yan Wujiu's unfathomable aura that this demon alchemist had long since advanced to the Dharma stage.
"I must congratulate Senior for successfully advancing to the Dharma stage and becoming a Dharma Laozu!"
Yan Wujiu smiled at Lu Ping and said, "Let's wait for half a day and wait for the Old Man to finish refining this cauldron of elixirs."
Lu Ping heard this and sat cross-legged to the side, at the same time focusing all his attention on Yan Wujiu Laozu refining elixirs. This cauldron of elixirs should be at the final stage of solidification, but Yan Wujiu said that he still needed half a day to finish. Lu Ping knew that this cauldron of elixirs should be Dharma stage elixirs, otherwise, the final stage of alchemy would definitely not last for so long.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and reached out to draw a line in front of him. A golden door appeared, and Luan Yu walked out from the door with some confusion. He raised his head just in time to see Yan Wujiu smiling at him.
Luan Yu's expression immediately became excited. Lu Ping saw this from the side and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. At this time, Luan Yu noticed that the one meter tall cauldron in front of Yan Wujiu was spitting out a thick white mist. At this time, Yan Wujiu and Laozu could not disturb him.
Luan Yu finally calmed his emotions and sat down with Lu Ping in the secret room to observe Yan Wujiu Laozu refining elixirs.
At this time, Lu Ping's alchemy skills were only a step away from becoming an alchemy grandmaster. Watching Yan Wujiu refine a Dharma Adept pill was like a timely rain to Lu Ping. Although Luan Yu's alchemy skills were not as good as Lu Ping's, watching an alchemy grandmaster refine pills was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after. To Luan Yu, this was also a great benefit.
Half a day later, Yan Wujiu stretched out his palm and patted the bright red pill furnace in front of him. A muffled sound suddenly came from the pill furnace, and its lid flew up. A few clear whistles came from the pill furnace, and five pills of different colors flew out from the pill furnace in a row, flying in different directions.
Yan Wujiu Laozu had long set up a net of restrictive spells around the secret room before opening the pill furnace. However, in the instant that these pills were blocked by the restrictive spells, a flame suddenly ignited on the surface of each pill. The flame rushed towards the invisible restrictive spells, and actually burned the restrictive spells to the point that they continuously emitted crackling sounds.
However, these restrictive spells had clearly been specially reinforced by Yan Wujiu Laozu. Although the power of the small flames that ignited on the surface of the pills was not any weaker than a Spirit Fire of Heaven and Earth, they did not have much power to carry on, and were unable to burn through the restrictive spells at all.
After each pill exploded into flames, the different colors that had originally been on the surface of each pill suddenly disappeared, and all five pills returned to their original silvery-white luster.
Lu Ping knew that the burning flames were the last bit of poison that was contained within the Dharma Stage pills. Dharma Stage pills were different from other types of pills. Dharma Stage pills were known as "spotless," but it was extremely difficult to make every single pill completely spotless. Thus, some alchemists came up with this method. When a Dharma Stage pill was about to escape from the furnace, they would purposely infuse a bit of the power of the spirit fire into the medicinal poison that had already been refined by the alchemist. Then, using the external force of the pill's attack on the restrictive spells, the power of the spirit fire would cause the medicinal poison to erupt out, and the pill itself would be cleansed.
Of course, in this way, the power of the elixir would also increase greatly when it escaped from the furnace. If the barrier that the alchemist had set up could not stop the impact of the elixir, then the alchemist could only watch as the elixir of the Dharma Stage escaped and slowly dissipated in the world.
Yan Wujiu Laozu calmly took out a jade bottle from his storage ritual implement, formed a spell with both hands, and shouted clearly, "Keep!"
The jade bottle suddenly emitted a suction force, and the five pills that were rushing out seemed to be suddenly drawn in. The pills that were rushing out with all their might slowly retreated back into the jade bottle.
After keeping the five pills, Yan Wujiu Laozu plugged the mouth of the jade bottle, and used a few spells to seal the bottle before keeping the jade bottle.
Immediately afterward, Yan Wujiu Laozu pointed at the pill furnace on the ground, and the top grade pill furnace suddenly shrank to the size of a palm. Yan Wujiu Laozu then drew a line in front of him, and a pitch-black hole appeared, and the pill furnace immediately disappeared into the hole.
At the same time that the pill furnace disappeared, a white fire seed the size of an egg was left behind. Lu Ping couldn't clearly see the grade of this fire seed, but Lu Ping knew that this fire seed's grade was definitely not lower than a heaven-tier spirit item.
The fire seed flew up, and Yan Wujiu Laozu swallowed it in one gulp. Luan Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yan Wujiu. Yan Wujiu Laozu looked at Luan Yu in front of him, and he was pleasantly surprised, but also a little worried. He asked, "In just a few short decades, your cultivation has actually reached the fourth stage of the Core Forging Realm. What kind of spirit item did you fuse with when you reached the mid-stage of the Core Forging Realm?"
Luan Yu smiled and said, "When this disciple broke through, I fused with a low-grade earth-tier spirit item that I obtained from Brother Lu. Although it is not enough, it is more than half."
"Only a low-grade earth-tier spirit item?"
Yan Wujiu's expression was a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled and said, "Although a low-grade earth-tier spirit item is a little unsatisfactory, it is barely enough. This time, I originally brought a mid-grade earth-tier spirit item for you to smelt. Obviously, it is no longer of use now, but I also refined a few elixirs that can help cultivators smelt high-grade spirit items. Although they are far from being comparable to the famous Spirit Forging Elixir that shook the world of cultivation, they are still not bad in the world of cultivation. With the help of these three elixirs, you can further slow down your cultivation speed and focus more on strengthening your foundation. Although it may take twice the effort for half the result, when you truly reach the peak of the sixth stage of the Core Forging Realm, you will be able to fight to smelt two high-grade earth-tier spirit items. This way, when you reach the peak of the Core Forging Realm, you will be able to smelt a mid-grade heaven-tier spirit item and form an eighth-grade golden elixir or above. Only then will you have a chance to glimpse the late Dharma stage in the future."
Luan Yu saw that Yan Wujiu was a little disappointed because he had smelted a low-grade earth-tier spirit item in advance, but he did not blame him in the slightest. Instead, he was even more cautious in planning for his own cultivation. Luan Yu was even more moved in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "Granduncle, do you know what the low-grade earth-tier spirit item that I smelted was?"
Yan Wujiu's expression froze, and he blurted out, "What spirit item was it?"
Luan Yu glanced at Lu Ping, who had fallen into deep thought while watching Yan Wujiu refine elixirs, and said, "It was the Psychic Wood that Brother Lu gave me!"
"Psychic Wood?!"
Yan Wujiu Laozu was stunned at first, and then he was a little unconvinced. He asked again, "Is it really the Psychic Wood? Although it is a low-grade earth-tier spirit item, it is very rare in the world of cultivation! "
Seeing Luan Yu nod solemnly, Yan Wujiu Laozu was instantly overjoyed. He said, "It really is the Psychic Wood! The Psychic Wood has a great effect on us demons, and it is even more beneficial to the Wood Luan Clan. You have refined a large portion of the Psychic Wood, and its effect is even greater than that of a mid-grade earth-tier spirit item. "
Yan Wujiu turned around and glanced at Lu Ping. Coincidentally, Lu Ping had just woken up from his deep thought while watching Yan Wujiu refine elixirs, and happened to hear Yan Wujiu's words. Seeing that Yan Wujiu was looking at him with a grateful expression, Lu Ping smiled and said, "To a human cultivator, the Psychic Wood is only a low-grade earth-tier spirit item. However, to Brother Luan, it is incomparably important. This junior can clearly see the crux of the matter, and the Psychic Wood is most suitable to be given to Brother Luan."
Yan Wujiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "All these years, the Old Man has left Luan Yu in Lu Xiaoyou's care because he has been in closed-door cultivation to break through to the Transcendence stage. Not to mention this favor, I didn't think that Lu Xiaoyou would actually find the Psychic Wood for him, allowing him to smoothly advance to the mid Core Forging stage. This kind of cultivation speed is far beyond the Old Man's expectations. Originally, the Old Man had planned to give the mid-grade earth-tier wood-attribute spirit item that he had brought with him to Little Friend as a way to repay the favor of finding the Psychic Wood for Luan Yu. But now, it seems that the Old Man is too shallow. "
Lu Ping promptly said with a smile, "Senior doesn't need to be like this. Luan Yu is this junior's best friend. Not to mention, whether it is in alchemy or looking after the spirit herb garden, Brother Luan has helped this junior greatly. This junior should gift the Psychic Wood to Brother Luan."
Yan Wujiu solemnly said, "It is precisely because of this that the Old Man has to thank Little Friend even more. Since Little Friend knows that Luan Yu knows how to look after the spirit herb garden, I presume that you also understand the reason for the Wood Luan Clan's extinction. Little Friend was able to resist this kind of temptation and even became good friends with him. This makes the Old Man admire you even more."
Yan Wujiu's words caused Lu Ping to blush with shame. Just as he was about to reply modestly, he saw Yan Wujiu ponder for a moment. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him.
A pitch-black hole suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ping. Immediately after, a scarlet red flame, like a flowing red liquid, suddenly jumped out of the pitch-black hole.
Seeing the scarlet red flame appear, Lu Ping's eyes narrowed slightly. He then heard Yan Wujiu ask Laozu with a smile, "Lu Xiaoyou, do you recognize this flame?"
Lu Ping had already recognized the flame the moment it appeared. Hearing Yan Wujiu's question, Lu Ping still pondered for a moment, then said, "If this junior is not mistaken, this flame should be a high grade earth-level Scarlet Spirit Flame. This kind of flame seems to flow like a flowing liquid, and its fire attribute is relatively mild. It is precisely a kind of flame suitable for alchemy."
Yan Wujiu chuckled and said, "This flame was originally a flame that the Old Man often used before he entered the Dharma Adept stage. Now, the Old Man rarely uses it. Now, how about this Old Man gift it to Little Friend?"
Lu Ping was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "How can this be? This item is too precious, this junior cannot accept it."
Yan Wujiu smiled, saying, "This item can be considered the Old Man's reward for asking Little Friend to look after an old friend. Moreover, the Old Man still has a request."
Hearing this, Lu Ping was taken aback. He said, "What other requests does Senior have? If this junior can help, then of course I will not refuse!"
