Lu Ping looked at Tian Cheng Laozu and Tian Feng Laozu in confusion and asked, "Seniors, now that the recipe for the Spirit-Forging Pill has been gathered, could it be that with our sect's strength, we are still unable to gather all the herbs needed to refine the Spirit-Forging Pill? As for the Thousand Wonder Dew, I believe that with our sect's tens of thousands of years of heritage, we should have at least a few drops! "
The Spirit-Forging Pill itself could only be considered a top-notch half-step Dharma elixir. Although the difficulty of refining it was no lower than that of a Dharma elixir, Zhenling now had Tianlu Laozu and Tianqin Laozu, two Dharma alchemists, as well as the precious cauldron that Jiang Tianlin Laozu had obtained from the Yingtian Training Hall. Refining such an elixir was a piece of cake!
When Tian Cheng Laozu and Tian Feng Laozu heard that Lu Ping could actually gather enough herbs for two cauldrons of the Spirit-Forging Pill, they looked at each other in surprise. Not to mention the rare 3,000-year-old herbs, to be able to gather all the herbs needed for two cauldrons of the Spirit-Forging Pill, didn't that mean that Lu Ping had at least two drops of the Thousand Wonder Dew in his hands?
Although the Spirit-Forging Pill was a half-step Dharma elixir, the few 3,000-year-old herbs used to refine it were rather precious. Zhenling had only managed to gather enough herbs for five cauldrons of the Spirit-Forging Pill, but Lu Ping could gather two cauldrons of the Thousand Wonder Dew himself.
Tian Feng Laozu suppressed the shock in his heart and handed a jade bottle to Lu Ping. "Take a look at the contents of the bottle first."
Lu Ping took the jade bottle with a puzzled look. After opening the bottle, a fragrant scent instantly filled the entire stone room.
Lu Ping, who had a good understanding of the Spirit-Forging Pill, naturally knew that this was the pill fragrance emitted by the Spirit-Forging Pill. It seemed that the sect had already refined the Spirit-Forging Pill, but why did Tianfeng Laozu want him to take a look first?
Doubts flashed across Lu Ping's mind. Then, he exclaimed in surprise. He gently flipped the jade bottle over and a purple pellet appeared in his palm. He held it in front of his eyes and carefully observed it for a moment. Then, a bluish-purple True Essence emerged from his palm and wrapped around the pellet.
After a short while, the Zhen Yuan in Lu Ping's hand dissipated, and the pill returned to Daoist Tianfeng in the jade essence bottle.
"How is it?" Tianfeng Laozu asked Lu Ping as he took the jade essence bottle.
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment before saying, "Who made this pill? From the way it was refined, there was nothing wrong with it. How come the medicinal effect of the Spirit-Forging Pill is only 70% that of a real Spirit-Forging Pill?"
Tianfeng Laozu nodded his head and said, "The pill you just saw was refined by Master Fornax. Moreover, he used the Mountain and River Treasured Cauldron that Junior Tianlin obtained from the Ying Tian Dojo. Regardless of whether it was Master Fornax or Junior Tianqin, they used a top grade cauldron or a magic treasure cauldron. Although the success rate of the Spirit-Forging Pill is different, the medicinal effect is the same. It is only 70% of the eight Spirit-Forging Pills that you obtained from Fei Ling Mountain."
With two Grandmasters Laozu working together, the reason why the Spirit-Forging Pill's medicinal effect was reduced couldn't be due to the Alchemists. It must be known that Lu Ping's current Alchemy skills couldn't compare to Tianfeng and Tianqin Laozu.
Lu Ping's doubts flashed in his mind. Although he didn't expect this kind of accident to occur, after discovering the reason why the Spirit-Forging Pill refined by Tianfeng Laozu had decreased in effectiveness, he immediately thought of another reason.
Tian Cheng Laozu looked at Lu Ping and asked with some eagerness, "How is it, boy? Did you think of the reason?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment before saying, "Not yet, but this disciple needs to personally refine it in order to confirm some things."
"Could it be because of the water refinement?"
Tian Cheng Laozu glanced at Tianfeng Laozu beside him, then asked Lu Ping.
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "The pills refined by the Spirit Water Refining Technique are extremely easy to identify. Among the eight Spirit-Forging Pills obtained from Feiling Mountain, there were no traces of the Spirit Water Refining Technique. Moreover, although the effects of the Spirit Water Refining Technique are good, only one pill can be refined at a time. However, one still needs to prepare a batch of spiritual herbs, which is not worth it for refining the Spirit-Forging Pill. Only those pills that are extremely difficult to refine or extremely special will use the Spirit Water Refining Technique."
Tian Cheng Laozu was a little disappointed, but Tianfeng Laozu seemed to have already expected that Lu Ping would say this. He smiled and said, "That's good too. We are far inferior to you in terms of alchemy. It just so happens that there is still some time before the Fist Valley space opens. You can use this time to refine a batch of pills and see what the reason is." On the way back to his stone room, Lu Ping was thinking about the situation of the Spirit-Forging Pill.
His intuition told him that Tian Feng Laozu still had some things to say. Even if Tianfeng Laozu and Tianqin Laozu couldn't refine the Spirit-Forging Pill with full effectiveness, these two grandmasters must have some guesses about the reason. However, he didn't know why Tian Feng Laozu didn't tell him and only wanted him to refine a batch of pills first.
Could it be that he simply wanted to verify the level of the alchemy skills of Lu Ping and the two Laozu, or was it something else?
Lu Ping's thoughts turned and he sat quietly in the stone room for a whole day. Only then did he adjust his state to the best. Then, he waved his hand and the Na Chuan Cauldron turned into a huge cauldron that was half the height of a person and landed in the stone room.
Dozens of jade boxes flew out from Lu Ping's sleeves. The Spirit Sealing Talisman on the surface of the jade boxes dimmed one by one. The jade boxes opened, and various well-preserved spiritual herbs flew out of thin air and landed in front of Lu Ping.
A few days later, the three Laozu came to the rock cave again. Although there was a seal that Lu Ping had set up at the door of the stone room, the fragrance of resentment still penetrated the stone room and filled the entire rock cave.
Tian Cheng Laozu sniffed and fiercely inhaled two mouthfuls of the pill fragrance. His face was full of satisfaction. Then, he asked Tian Shan Laozu who was beside him, "Senior Brother, how effective do you think this kid's Spirit Forging Pill will be?"
Guo Tian Shan Laozu hesitated for a moment and said, "If Master Fornax and Junior Sister Tianqin's guess is correct, this kid can really refine a complete Spirit Forging Pill. However, his success rate will definitely not be as high as Master Fornax and Junior Sister's."
Tian Cheng Laozu smiled and said, "This kid must have a lot of cards up his sleeve. If you don't force him, you will never know what other tricks he has up his sleeve."
Tian Cheng Laozu pondered for a moment and then asked Tian Cheng Laozu, "Senior Brother, why didn't you tell him about Master Fornax and Junior Sister Tianqin's guess about the Spirit Forging Pill's medicinal properties? Why did you want him to refine the pill first?"
Tian Feng Laozu's gaze was deep as he said, "It doesn't matter if I tell him or not. We just need to see the results of his refining."
Tian Cheng Laozu was a little displeased. "Aren't you afraid that this kid will have second thoughts?"
Tian Feng Laozu said confidently, "He won't!"
The reason why the Spirit Forging Elixir was called a half step to the Dharma stage elixir was because the ratio and quantity of spirit herbs required to refine the elixir was similar to that of a half step to the Dharma stage elixir. Furthermore, this elixir was only useful for Core Forging adepts and had no effect on Dharma adepts.
However, the actual process of refining the Spirit Forging Pill was even more difficult than that of a normal Dharma stage pill!
After a series of preliminary preparations, it was already three days later when Lu Ping was ready to ignite the cauldron. After that, he spent another five days meticulously refining the pellets. Finally, it was time to condense the pellets.
Actually, Lu Ping had his own guesses about why Tianlu and Tianqin Laozu were unable to refine the Spirit Forging Pill. It was just that this guess was related to a secret technique that he had, so he did not want to say it out loud.
There were two main reasons why Lu Ping had handed over the recipe for the Minor Forging Pill to the sect. Firstly, Lu Ping had a spirit liquid that was better than the Dew of Vitality. Secondly, it was because of his "Spirit Fire Smelting Purification Technique"!
The Small Spirit Forging Pellet was originally an imitation of the Spirit Forging Pellet, so it was closely related to the Spirit Forging Pellet itself. However, the Small Spirit Forging Pellet only had a quarter of the medicinal effect of the Spirit Forging Pellet. But after Lu Ping's [Purification Technique], the medicinal effect of the Small Spirit Forging Pellet was increased to a third or even more of the medicinal effect of the Spirit Forging Pellet. This made Lu Ping suspect that this [Purification Technique] was originally a common inheritance of Fei Ling Sect, be it in alchemy or smithing.
It was precisely because of this set of purification technique that Lu Ping obtained from a secret chamber in the ruins of Fei Ling Mountain's Pavilion of Smithing that allowed Lu Ping to refine spirit herbs and medicinal liquids with twice the effort and half the result during the alchemy process. It could be said that Lu Ping's rapid progress in alchemy was largely due to this set of purification technique that allowed him to improve his alchemy skills so quickly.
Lu Ping speculated that the Spirit Forging Pellets concocted by Zhen Ling Sect were only 70% as effective as the original Spirit Forging Pellets. This was most likely because the Spirit Forging Pellets were originally from Fei Ling Sect's secret art, the [Spirit Fire Smelting Purification Technique].
Currently, he only had three quarters of the Wonder Jade Dew in his hand, which was a total of 27 drops. Presumably, this drop of Wonder Jade Dew should be enough for the four remaining pills to be refined.
The Spirit Qi in the pill furnace suddenly became somewhat chaotic, and Lu Ping's Divine Sense couldn't control it for a moment. He sighed inwardly. This Spirit Forging Pill was indeed difficult to refine.

A jade bottle appeared in his hand, and Lu Ping hurriedly dripped a drop of Purple Crystal Royal Bee Jelly into the pill furnace. When the third drop of royal bee jelly appeared, the fourth pill suddenly turned into pure Spirit Qi and evaporated.
After another moment, Lu Ping's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to pat the pill furnace. The pill furnace suddenly issued a distant roar, and the lid of the furnace rose into the air. Three purple pills suddenly jumped out of the pill furnace and scattered in all directions in the stone room.
Outside the stone room, Tianshan Laozu and the others heard the roar of the pill furnace, and their expressions were also shocked. "The pills are formed!"
Inside the stone room, Lu Ping looked at the three Spirit Forging Pills in the Jade Essence bottle, and he felt quite conflicted. It seemed that it was really because of the Purification Secret Technique!
Lu Ping sighed inwardly. Could it be that he really had to teach this secret technique to the sect?
The restriction at the door of the stone room gradually melted, and Lu Ping walked out of the stone room with a face full of joy and doubt.
Tian Cheng Laozu was impatient, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Lu Ping handed the Jade Essence bottle to Tian Cheng Laozu, and Laozu hurriedly opened the bottle to check. After a moment, he exclaimed, "It's done! It's 100% Spirit Forging Pill, and there's no loss of medicinal efficacy!"
