When Lu Ping saw Fornax Laozu, the old man was sitting quietly in the cave, holding a paper book in his hand, trying to figure out something.
Lu Ping saw that the Fornax Cauldron Ancestor was ignoring him, but he didn't want to disturb him. But when he saw a small incense burner not far from the Fornax Cauldron Ancestor, an idea popped up in his head.
An elegant and lingering fragrance wafted out from the furnace.
"Hmm?"
Fornax Laozu put down the book in his hand in surprise and asked Lu Ping, "Soul Calming Incense?"
Lu Ping quickly handed over a small box and said, "Martial Uncle is wise, this is the last of the three great incense, Soul Calming Incense. Disciple was lucky enough to get a few pieces in the Middle Earth, I offer them to Martial Uncle as a sign of filial piety!"
There were three pieces of Soul Calming Incense in the small box. Fornax Laozu took it and put it aside. He glanced at Lu Ping and said, "Hmph, I heard that you gave your teacher three pieces of Soul Calming Incense. Why did you drop a grade after getting the Old Man?"
Lu Ping was very embarrassed. He didn't know how this matter was known to the person in front of him, so he quickly said, "Disciple only got a few pieces of Soul Calming Incense in the Middle Earth. Soul Calming Incense is even rarer than Soul Calming Incense. Disciple had no choice, I can't just give one!"
He didn't know that after Lu Ping gave Liu Tianling Laozu three pieces of Soul Calming Incense and three pieces of Soul Calming Incense, it caused a small storm among the Zhenling Laozu.
After Liu Tianling received the Soul Calming Incense, he happily lit a small piece of Soul Calming Incense in the Hall of Zhonghua. However, he didn't expect Qu Tiancheng Laozu to return to the Middle Earth because of his battle with Lu Ping. He was in a hurry to bid farewell to Liu Tianling Laozu and just barged into the Hall of Zhonghua.
Elder Qu Tiancheng was, after all, a Dharma adept. He had traveled the central mainland for many years and had seen many things. With one look, he recognized that the fragrance wafting through the Palace of Zhong Hua was one of the three famous Soul Incenses in the training world — the Soul-stabilizing Incense.
This time, the secret couldn't be kept any longer. The few Laozu in Zhenling immediately knew that Liu Tianling Laozu had the Soul Calming Incense. Even Tian Xue Laozu, who was far away on Frost Island, and Tian Kang Laozu, who was on Huan Yu Island, also sent a message to ask about the Soul Calming Incense. In the end, even Tian Xiang Laozu was alerted.
Liu Tianling Laozu had no choice but to give up Lu Ping. However, he also secretly set up many ambushes for Lu Ping.
Thanks to the incident with Tian Shu Laozu, the other Laozu in the sect didn't want to provoke Lu Ping too much. When they heard Liu Tianling Laozu say that Lu Ping didn't have many Soul Calming Incense on him, they believed him. After all, it was already very lucky for them to have a few of these rare treasures.
If they knew that Lu Ping not only had dozens of Soul Calming Incense on him, but he also had a few lush Soul Calming Trees in the House of Gold, even Liu Tianling Laozu himself might not be able to hold himself back.
Although the three Soul Calming Incense were rare in Lu Ping's eyes, he didn't cherish them to the point where he needed to alert the few Laozu in the sect. However, what he didn't know was that although the three Soul Calming Incense had the effect of nourishing the Divine Will, they were mostly used by the practitioners when they were training in seclusion or when they were trying to understand their techniques.
However, the effect of the three Soul Calming Incense on Dharma adepts had been greatly underestimated by Lu Ping!
After a practitioner entered the Dharma stage, it was difficult to take another step forward. The foundation of a Dharma adept was naturally on the Dharma stage. The three Soul Calming Incense's effect on the Dharma stage far exceeded Lu Ping's expectations. Not only could it restore the vitality of the Dharma stage, but it could also strengthen the spirituality of the Dharma stage and promote the integration of the Divine Will and the Dharma stage.
Although the three Soul Calming Incense could not directly increase the level of practice of a Dharma adept, the benefits it brought to the Dharma adept could only be gradually shown over time and was irreplaceable.
Tianlu Laozu didn't think that Lu Ping was lying. It wasn't because of Tian Ling Laozu's explanation, but because Tianlu Laozu didn't believe that Lu Ping could have many Soul Calming Incense on him. Therefore, the three Soul Calming Incense that Lu Ping had brought were very valuable. After all, Tianlu Laozu also knew that no matter what, he could not compare to Tian Ling Laozu's position in Lu Ping's heart.
Tianlu Laozu kept the three Soul Calming Incense and secretly decided that these three Soul Calming Incense must be used when he was in seclusion. If he lit them in the cave like Tian Ling, not only would it be a waste, but it would also attract other people. Perhaps these three Soul Calming Incense could not be kept.
Tianlu Laozu kept the three Soul Calming Incense and looked at the smiling Lu Ping. He said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Lu Ping received the smile and said seriously, "I want a piece of Sky Hearthstone!"
Tianlu Laozu was shocked and slapped the small box in front of Lu Ping. He said, "Take it, take it. This Soul Calming Incense Old Man doesn't want it anymore!"
Lu Ping expected that Tianlu Laozu would refuse, but he didn't think that Tianlu Laozu would refuse so thoroughly. He couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Martial Uncle, if this disciple knows the Sky Hearthstone correctly, there should be three pieces in the Pill Pavilion. It's not too much for this disciple to take one, right?"
Tianlu Laozu glared at him and said, "You little brat, what do you know? Our sect has been passed down for ten thousand years, but we have only accumulated these three pieces of Sky Hearthstone. How valuable do you think it is? Not to mention three Soul Calming Incense, even if you give the Old Man three Heaven Rank Spiritual Objects, I won't exchange it!"
Seeing Lu Ping's dumbfounded expression, the Fornax Cauldron Grandmaster's face relaxed a little. Then, he thought of something and asked, "Brat, you want the Fornax Stones to improve your Na Chuan Cauldron and condense the second enchantment?"
The quality of Lu Ping's Na Chuan Cauldron was extremely high. After condensing the first Treasure Restriction, it was far from reaching its limit. He only needed to smelt one Sky Hearthstone and he would be able to start condensing the second Treasure Restriction.
Previously, when the Pill Pavilion announced the reward rules of the examination, he went to the Pill Pavilion's treasury to inspect. Now that he was an Alchemy Grand Master and the Pill Pavilion's Chief Examiner, he was naturally qualified to see the Pill Pavilion's wealth.
The three Sky Hearthstones were stored in the most important place in the Pill Pavilion. After Lu Ping saw them, he naturally remembered them. That was why he first asked for the Sky Hearthstone when he saw Tianlu Laozu.
Lu Ping knew that the Sky Hearthstone was precious. After all, it was something that could improve the quality of a Pill Furnace. How could it be compared to ordinary treasures? But he didn't expect that Tianlu Laozu would care so much about the Sky Hearthstone.
However, thinking that Zhenling had only accumulated three Sky Hearthstones after ten thousand years of inheritance, its preciousness must be far beyond what Lu Ping had expected. So, Tianlu Laozu's previous overreaction was understandable.
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Martial Uncle Master, among the few Pill Furnaces in our sect, other than this disciple's Na Chuan Cauldron, which one can use the Sky Hearthstone?"
Tianlu Laozu was silent when he heard this. Although Zhenling had two magic treasure level Pill Furnaces, other than Lu Ping's Na Chuan Cauldron, the quality of the other Pill Furnace controlled by Tianlu Laozu was far from enough to condense the second Treasure Restriction.
As for the other top grade Pill Furnaces of Zhenling, they didn't even have the qualifications to be promoted to magic treasures.
Lu Ping saw that Tianlu Laozu was silent and knew that there was still a chance. So, he continued, "Although this disciple hasn't been in the Pill Pavilion for a long time, I'm still a disciple of our sect. Upgrading the Na Chuan Cauldron will also increase the strength of our sect, right?"
Tianlu Laozu snorted coldly, "Easy for you to say. Do you know how difficult it is to smelt the Sky Hearthstone? If it's not done properly, this priceless Sky Hearthstone will be useless. Your Na Chuan Cauldron's quality will still not be able to be upgraded! "
"But if the Sky Hearthstone isn't used, it's just a stone in the end. Even if it's priceless, what use can it have? Isn't it a waste to leave it in the Pill Pavilion's treasury?"
Tianlu Laozu snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "How about this disciple use that thing to exchange for it?"
Tianlu Laozu snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "How about this disciple use that thing to exchange for it?"
Tianlu Laozu glanced at Lu Ping and said, "What are you going to exchange for it?"
Lu Ping gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. A scarlet flame quietly jumped in his palm. Tianlu Laozu said in surprise, "You obtained a Heaven Stage Spirit Flame. You don't want this thing?"
Then, Tianlu Laozu reacted and said, "Kid, you got a Heaven Stage Spirit Flame. You don't want this thing?"
Lu Ping put the Scarlet Spirit Flame in a jade box and pushed it in front of Tianlu Laozu. He said, "Martial Uncle, this is a Heaven Stage Spirit Flame. The Scarlet Spirit Flame is a Spirit Flame that's more suitable for Alchemy. It's enough for a Pill Master to use until the Grandmaster Realm!"
The Fornax Ancestor snorted angrily. "I've said before that the Fornax Stone is extremely precious. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to exchange it for three Heaven Class Spirit Items. You want to exchange it for a Superior Earth Class Spirit Fire?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "The Sky Hearthstone is rare, but its true value may not be worth three Heaven Stage Spirit Objects. Moreover, didn't this disciple give you three pieces of Soul Incense as a show of respect?"
Seeing that Tianlu Laozu was about to explode again, Lu Ping hurriedly said, "Of course, the Soul Incense is a show of respect to you, so it doesn't count. However, this disciple has decided to spend a lot of money for the Pill Pavilion's Head Exam. Seeing that this disciple wants to contribute to the Sect, Martial Uncle, please be magnanimous and give the Sky Hearthstone to this disciple!"
Tianlu Laozu felt a headache coming on from Lu Ping's pestering. He helplessly waved his hand and said, "Get lost, get lost. The Pill Pavilion's treasures need your Master's permission before you can borrow them. Moreover, the Sky Hearthstone is such a treasure. Don't bother the Old Man!"
Lu Ping was overjoyed. As long as Tianlu Laozu agreed, his Master would absolutely not object. He smiled and said, "Then this disciple will leave."
"Wait!"
Tianlu Laozu looked at the Red Spirit Flame on the table and asked, "What kind of Spirit Flame do you use for alchemy now? If it's not convenient, you can use this Red Spirit Flame first!"
Lu Ping was grateful in his heart, but his face was still smiling. He spread out his palm again, and the silver Spirit Flame burned like a quietly flowing river, giving people a very strange feeling!
"Silver Spirit Flame? You even managed to get your hands on such a good thing? "
Tianlu Laozu looked at the slowly fluctuating flame in Lu Ping's hand with a trace of envy in his eyes.
Just as Lu Ping was about to leave Tianlu Laozu's cave, he suddenly heard Tianlu Laozu say behind him, "It's not easy to smelt the Sky Hearthstone. In our Sect, other than the Na Chuan Cauldron, I'm afraid no other Pill Furnace has the qualifications to upgrade it. You should take another Sky Hearthstone as a backup, just in case something unexpected happens!"
This time, Lu Ping sincerely bowed to Tianlu Laozu and said, "Thank you, Laozu!"
