In the Black Ice Hall, the six Laozu were seated. Lu Ping sat at the end of the table. Above him, there were two late Core Forging female Zhenrens. They were two of the four most outstanding female cultivators in the second generation of Zhenling's disciples: Master Xuan Ju of the Talisman Pavilion and Master Xuan Chen of the Array Formation Grandmaster.
Tian Xiang Laozu handed the jade bottle in his hand to Tian Fan Laozu. Inside the bottle were the two Nine Clear Pills that Lu Ping had just refined.
Lu Ping had caused such a huge commotion in the secret chamber. Moreover, whether he could advance to become an alchemy grandmaster was a huge matter in Zhenling. Tian Xiang, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, the three Laozu, were not there at the time, but they had been paying attention to the secret chamber that Lu Ping was in. Naturally, they rushed over quickly.
Although the few Laozu's looked calm, their hearts were already in turmoil.
Twenty percent success rate? Was this a joke? Was this really the kid's first time refining a Dharma elixir?
Although the few Laozu's had their own doubts, the fact that Lu Ping had refined two Nine Clear Pills was in their hands.
The Celestial Phenomenon Ancestor pondered for a moment and said to the Fornax Ancestor beside him, "Brother Fornax, what is the success rate of refining a Dharma Form elixir?"
Tian Lu Laozu laughed bitterly and said, "The success rate of refining a Dharma elixir is extremely low. Therefore, those who can refine a Dharma elixir can be called an alchemy grandmaster. Normally, if you don't create or modify a special Dharma elixir, you can be considered an alchemy grandmaster if you can achieve a success rate of thirty percent."
Looking at Lu Ping's shocked expression, Tianlu Laozu continued, "If I were to use my sect's top-grade cauldron to refine, the success rate of Dharma stage pills would hover around 30% to 40%. If I were to use a magic cauldron, the success rate could be stabilized at more than 40%. If I were to add in the royal jelly of the Core Forging stage, the success rate would increase to more than 50%."
The few Laozu's all sucked in a breath of cold air. Only Lu Ping could not believe it. How could the success rate of a Dharma stage core pill be so low? With Tianlu Laozu's alchemy skills, with the help of various external factors, he could achieve a success rate of 50%. How could the Laozu's here be so shocked?
Lu Ping clearly remembered the time when he was watching Yan Wujiu refine pills on the East Sea's Soundwave Island. Although he did not know if Yan Wujiu had used external factors in the process, the five Dharma stage core pills were real. At that time, when he saw Yan Wujiu's performance, he did not feel that it was as difficult as Tianlu Laozu had said.
If Dharma stage core pills were really as difficult as Tianlu Laozu had said, then Yan Wujiu's alchemy skills were clearly far above Tianlu Laozu's. This was why Yan Wujiu had been able to enter the Northern Alliance's Qianyuan Palace and chat freely with the Dharma stage alchemist, Hongye Laozu, before Yan Wujiu had reached the Dharma stage.
Perhaps Tianlu Laozu's question had attracted the other Laozu's interest. Tianfan Laozu, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Tianqin is Junior Tianlu's proud disciple. What is her success rate?"
Speaking of Tianqin, Tianlu Laozu's face also revealed a hint of redness. He smiled and said, "This girl did not waste her time in the East Sea all these years. If she had refined it normally, her success rate for Dharma stage core pills could barely reach 30%. However, her control of the fire is still lacking. If she had the Na Chuan Cauldron and the Core Forging Stage royal jelly, she could maintain the success rate between 40% to 50%. However, this girl's alchemy skills will surpass mine sooner or later. So if I upgrade the Sky Hut Cauldron to a magical weapon, I will hand it over to her."
Tian Xue Laozu asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the Core Forging Stage royal jelly can increase the success rate by 20%? Why did I hear from Junior Brother that it only increased the success rate by 10%?"
Tianlu Laozu explained, "If only the success rate could be increased by this much. The Amethyst Royal Jelly's benefits for Dharma stage pills would depend on the alchemist's own standards. If Junior Brother's alchemy skills could reach 80% success rate, naturally I would be able to fully utilize 20% of the Royal Jelly's benefits. But with Junior Brother's current standards, I would only be able to utilize 10% of the Royal Jelly's benefits."
Tian Xue Laozu suddenly understood and said, "So this 20% success rate can be said in such a way."
As he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Ping and said, "If that's the case, when this brat concocted two Nine Purities Pills this time, the Royal Jelly's benefits would definitely be lesser?"
Lu Ping chuckled. What Laozu didn't know was that when other alchemists concocted Dharma Stage pills, they would usually concoct a full furnace. The number of pills they could concoct would depend on how many pills they could concoct. However, when Lu Ping started concocting the Nine Purities Pills, he immediately exploded the remaining seven pills and concentrated on concocting the remaining three pills. In the end, he gave up on another pill and only concentrated on concocting the remaining two pills. Furthermore, he even added a drop of Royal Jelly from each pill. That was how he managed to concoct two Nine Purities Pills right from the start.
Of course, this was also related to Lu Ping's abnormal spiritual will cultivation. It was also the embodiment of Lu Ping's accumulation and growth in alchemy over a long period of time.
Lu Ping concocted Dharma Stage pills and became the third alchemy grandmaster in Zhenling. He had already obtained the recognition of the various Laozu of the sect. Naturally, it was also justifiable for him to wield the Na Chuan Cauldron.
After concocting the pills, Tian Xiang Laozu continued, "The matter of the ruins has come to an end. Yesterday, Junior Brother Tianfan, Junior Sister Tianxue, and I sorted out the things that were brought out from the ruins in the past five days. The rewards were truly bountiful, especially the large amount of repair resources that Dharma Stage adepts could use. This was undoubtedly a great boost for our sect."
When everyone heard Tian Xiang Laozu say this, they were all very excited. Immediately after, Tian Xiang Laozu said, "However, after these few days of calculation, the hidden space of the Ying Tian Sect's training ground will soon be found by Junior Nephew Xuanchen and the others. After a discussion, the various sects have agreed to each send an early Dharma adept to the central plains in secret. After that, they will head north into the northern ice plains to search for the Ying Tian Sect's training ground."
Spiritual Master Xuanju asked somewhat unhappily, "Uncle-Master, why can our sect only send one Dharma adept? Our sect's strength far exceeds that of the other sects. Even if we can't send two Dharma adepts, we should at least send one mid Dharma adept!"
Tian Xue Laozu giggled and said, "You damned girl, you're spouting nonsense. Rather than agreeing to send one mid Dharma adept, why don't the sects agree to send two early Dharma adepts? Do you really think that two early Dharma Laozu can defeat one mid Laozu?"
At this moment, Spiritual Master Xuanchen said, "A few days ago, the various Uncle-Masters specially invited Senior Brother Jiang and his disciples to Frost Island. I believe that at that time, the various Uncle-Masters had already decided to send Senior Brother Jiang?"
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu and the rest all smiled and nodded. Jiang Tianlin's expression was calm. It was obvious that he already knew that he would be heading to Middle Earth in search of the Ying Tian Sect.
"Although our sect will also only send one early Dharma adept this time, what Disciple Xuanju said just now makes sense. After all, our sect's strength far exceeds that of the other sects. How can we be on equal footing with the other sects? This time, Disciple Xuanchen and Disciple Xuansen will be accompanying Disciple Jiang. When you all head to East Sea, you can bring Xuan Xu along with you to Jingzhe Island. This way, our sect will have four practitioners going. This is also what the various sects agreed upon earlier."
Among the three late Core Forging adepts, other than Spiritual Master Xuanchen who was at the eighth level, the other two were at the ninth level. However, Spiritual Master Xuanchen was a master of formations. In terms of exploring, his usefulness was not much lower than that of a Dharma adept.
At this moment, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu saw that Lu Ping was sitting below and seemed to want to say something. He smiled and asked, "Little brat, what do you want to say? Could it be that you want to go to Middle Earth as well?"
Lu Ping quickly said, "That's right. I heard that Middle Earth is vast and rich in resources. It is a paradise for practitioners. Therefore, I also want to go with Uncle Jiang and experience the prosperity of Middle Earth."
"Prosperity? Middle Earth may not be that prosperous now! "
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu snorted coldly. He did not give a reason and only said, "You're not allowed!"
Lu Ping looked at Jiang Tianlin Laozu and saw that Jiang Tianlin was giving him a helpless expression.
Lu Ping felt regret in his heart. However, he also knew that the current situation in Middle Earth seemed to be very bad. Two years ago, news came from the East Sea. After five years of sailing, the treasured ship of Xiaoyao Pavilion had successfully returned. The ultra-long distance teleportation array between Xiaoyao Pavilion and Tianyue Sect had been successfully set up. However, for some unknown reason, after Xiaoyao Pavilion returned, they pulled a ship full of Middle Earth cultivators back to the East Sea. However, Xiaoyao Pavilion also took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Afterward, this batch of cultivators from Middle Earth brought a piece of news to the East Sea. Currently, the cultivation world of Middle Earth was in chaos. However, all the big sects were sweeping the snow in front of their door. At the same time, all the sects that had connections with the overseas sects were guarding the ultra-long distance teleportation array, preventing Middle Earth cultivators from going overseas. These hundreds of people who boarded Xiaoyao Pavilion's treasured ship and came to the East Sea were actually to seek refuge.
When Lu Ping saw that his wish to go to Middle Earth couldn't be fulfilled, he did not show any signs of vexation. Instead, he smiled, "Everyone, Laozu, this disciple has advanced to become an Alchemist Master. I wonder if I can ask for some rewards from the sect?"
Tian Xue Laozu sneered and scolded, "You foolish brat, I think it's only right that you ask for some beating!"
However, the corners of his eyes betrayed Tian Xue Laozu's current mood.
Patriarch Sky Sail smiled as well. "What benefits do you want now, Boy of Many Treasures? Don't tell me you have your eyes on the treasures in the ancient ruins? Although our sect has obtained quite a lot of benefits, there aren't many that are suitable for you. "
Lu Ping chuckled, "Disciple doesn't want anything else. I heard that Martial Uncle obtained a batch of Heaven and Earth Oddities from the ancient ruins. I wonder if disciple can choose a few?"
"Heaven and Earth Oddities? What use do you have for those things? Oh, you have already advanced to the late stage of Core Forging. It's normal for you to smelt your Dipper Qi. However, that only requires water attribute Heaven and Earth Oddities. Why is it that the Old Man doesn't want to choose one or two? "
Without waiting for Lu Ping to think of an excuse, Tian Xiang Laozu suddenly spoke, "Give it to him. Let him choose."
Tian Xiang Laozu knew of the existence of the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash. He was purposely opening up a path for Lu Ping. Lu Ping hurriedly thanked him. Although Tian Xiang Laozu was somewhat surprised, he didn't say much. It was just a few Heaven and Earth Oddities. Apart from a few that had special effects, the rest were no longer worthy of a Dharma Realm cultivator's attention.
"However, brat, don't you think you should express your gratitude?"
Tian Xiang Laozu, who previously made Lu Ping feel grateful, was now like an old fox as he smiled at Lu Ping.
