Although Lu Ping was joking, the dissatisfaction in his words was heard clearly by Perfected Xuan Yan and the other two.
Perfected Xuan Yue also knew about this matter. Although he blamed the three of them for getting caught in their own trap, he did not want them to lose face, so he smiled and said, "Martial Nephew Lu, you must be joking. Nowadays, who would dare to slight your disciple? However, Martial Nephew, you've just become a teacher, so as your Martial Uncle, I have to show my sincerity!"
Lu Ping stopped Perfected Xuan Yue who was about to take out a gift for Tian Yue and said with a smile, "Right now, it's just a confirmation of his status. In the future, when he officially becomes my disciple, it won't be too late for Martial Uncle to give him a gift. Right now, it's more important to reward the alchemists!"
Perfected Xuan Yue knew that Lu Ping was just taking the opportunity to grumble, so he hurriedly patted his head and pretended to have forgotten. He said, "Isn't this all because of you, Martial Nephew? You suddenly came up with this, I almost forgot the most important thing today!"
Having said that, he waved at the little female cultivator, Pei Yan 'er, and said, "Little friend Pei Yan' er, come over here!"
Her master, Master Li Yanshan, and Perfected Xuan Fang were friends of the same generation. Pei Yan 'er stepped forward and said, "Disciple Pei Yan' er greets Martial Uncle!"
Perfected Xuan Yue laughed and took out a wooden box from his storage Dharma artifact. He said, "Your Martial Uncle Lu Xuanping is rich and imposing, I can't compare to him. Your alchemy skills are not inferior to Tian Yue's, and you're also a Grandmaster Alchemist. Moreover, you call me Martial Uncle, so no matter what, the Old Man must give you something decent!"
Daoist Xuanyue opened the wooden box, and inside was an exquisite jade hairpin.
Daoist Xuan Yue reluctantly looked away from the jade hairpin and placed the wooden box in Pei Yan 'er's hands. He said, "Although this jade hairpin is not a good magic treasure, the two enchantments it has condensed can not only be used as a defensive magic treasure in times of crisis, but this jade hairpin can also be used to store Vital Energy for a short period of time. In the future, when you need to refine a pill that consumes a lot of Vital Energy, you can store a part of it first. When your Vital Energy is exhausted during the process of refining the pill, you can take that part of Vital Energy back into your body and continue to use it. However, this jade hairpin can only store Vital Energy for a short period of time.
For Pei Yan 'er, who was a rogue cultivator and had yet to advance to the Core Forging Stage, a defensive magic treasure with two restrictions was already rare and valuable. However, this jade hairpin had the ability to store True Essence, so it could truly be regarded as a rare treasure!
Most Alchemists, when compared to cultivators of the same level, often had weak strength and insufficient True Essence. After all, there were very few people like Lu Ping and Tianqin Laozu, who had both Alchemy and strength.
And because of this, this jade hairpin that could store True Essence was even more precious.
Pei Yan 'er was obviously very fond of this jade hairpin. She thanked Daoist Xuan Yue and happily returned to Grandmaster Li Yanshan's side.
When Daoist Xuan Yan arrived, he took out the jade slips that he had accumulated over hundreds of years of cultivation and gave them to the third place disciple of Daoist Xuan Yue to copy.
This spirit grass book could be said to be Daoist Xuan Yan's growth manual. There might not be any pill recipes inside, but there were all kinds of Daoist Xuan Yan's experiences in Alchemy, as well as all kinds of spirit grasses that he had seen over the past hundreds of years. It could be said to be half of an Alchemy Grandmaster's inheritance. This was not a small reward.
Usually, Alchemists would only pass on these things to their disciples, and some would even choose only one disciple to pass on.
Daoist Xuan Yue naturally knew the importance of this spirit grass book. In surprise and joy, he quickly ordered his disciple to bow and thank Daoist Xuan Yan.
When it came to Daoist Xuan Jing, Lu Ping's mocking gaze never left him. Daoist Xuan Jing and Chong Hua and Xiao Yao were not on good terms. When Lu Ping entered Chong Hua Palace, Daoist Xuan Jing had made things difficult for him. Because of this, Tianlin Laozu's disciple had even offended his superior and caused a scene with Daoist Xuan Jing.
Now that Liu Tianling Laozu was in charge of the sect, it was not good for Lu Ping to directly cause trouble with Daoist Xuan Jing, but it was inevitable that he would secretly ridicule Daoist Xuan Jing.
Just as Daoist Xuan Jing stood up, he heard a "hehehe" sneer in his ear. He turned around and glared at Lu Ping, but saw that Lu Ping had already turned his head and seemed to be pointing at Tian Yue, who was standing behind him.
The disciple who won fourth place was Daoist Xuan Dian's disciple. This disciple naturally knew that the martial uncle in front of him was famous for being stingy, so he didn't expect him to give him anything good. Although he felt a little regretful, he could only do so.
Daoist Xuan Jing was really in a difficult position at this time. First, he was punished by Fornax Laozu to refine pills for the sect for free because of the Soul Stealing Secret Technique. As a result, he didn't have any income for decades. Then, he borrowed money to advance to the late stage of Core Forging. Now, he really didn't have any good things on him.
The small items that he had prepared were enough for the previous Pill Pavilion Examinations, but today's situation had obviously put Lu Ping in a difficult position. Senior Brother Xuan Yan had even taken out his own spirit grass catalog and made a copy of it for the disciple who had won the prize. Who knew how much hatred this Senior Brother would have for this disciple?
Daoist Xuan Jing clenched his teeth and took out a mid-grade pill furnace from his storage magic tool and handed it to Daoist Xuan Dian's disciple.
When Daoist Xuan Fang saw Daoist Xuan Jing take out this mid-grade pill furnace, he couldn't help but stare blankly. This pill furnace was something that Daoist Xuan Jing had asked for from his disciple, Daoist Xuan Fang. Originally, he wanted to give it to a new disciple who had just entered Daoist Xuan Jing's tutelage. He didn't think that Daoist Xuan Jing would take it out here.
Daoist Xuan Fang looked at his teacher helplessly. His teacher was extremely narrow-minded and often held grudges against those who had offended him. This kind of grudge was extremely difficult to erase, but it was undeniable that Daoist Xuan Fang treated his own people extremely well. Even if that person later developed a great dislike for him, Daoist Xuan Fang still treated them extremely well, just like Uncle-Master Tianqin.
After that, the rewards were uneventful. The Pill Pavilion Examinations ended in several unexpected situations. However, two Pill Masters had suddenly appeared in Zhenling's Examinations. Furthermore, one of them had actually been accepted as a disciple by the Water Sword Immortal, who had never accepted a disciple before. When the news spread, the unknown Pill Master Tian Yue had already become a hot rising star in Zhenling, and even the entire North Sea's cultivation world.
The generous rewards given by the Pill Pavilion Examiners in Zhenling also caused everyone in Zhenling to talk about it enthusiastically. Only the Pill Pavilion Examiners had a lot of complaints about this. With this precedent set, the Pill Pavilion Examinations in the future would be a journey of financial loss for every Pill Pavilion Examiner.
However, this would probably motivate even more Pill Masters to work hard and improve themselves!
The Pill Pavilion Examiners could only use this as an excuse to lose money. In reality, the Pill Pavilion was more lively than ever before. Every Pill Master had thrown themselves into the training of pill refinement with an unprecedented passion.
Of course, the price for this was that the Pill Pavilion's reserves of spirit herbs were decreasing at a far faster rate than before!
Tian Yue's high rank pill furnace was already in his hands. Although Zhenling's high rank pill furnaces were rare, with the expansion of Zhenling's influence, the development of the spirit mines on Frost Island, and the relocation of the Mirror Spirit Mine to the Ying Xu Ancient Mirror Spirit Mine, the excavation of the Ying Tian Dao Plaza and other ruins, and the gains from exploring the outer seas with Huang Li Island as the center, Zhenling's accumulation continued to increase. There were already a few more high rank pill furnaces than before, and even the top rank pill furnaces that were so damaged that they no longer dared to use them for pill refinement were almost completely repaired by the Artifact Forging Hall.
At this time, Lu Ping had already arrived on Frost Island through the teleportation array.
This island, which had caused countless disturbances in the North Sea in the past, was no longer as desolate as it used to be with a layer of ice covering it. At this time, the island had already been divided into several distinct groups of buildings according to the arrangements of each faction.
As for the buildings on Zhenling, because Tian Xue Laozu had been stationed here for the past few years, it had become a unique ice garden.
Because of the existence of a large spirit stone mine on Frost Island, it occupied a special position in the entire North Sea cultivation world.
Seventy percent of the entire mine was divided among the nine major sects of the North Sea, and the remaining thirty percent belonged to the other twelve factions that had Dharma adepts.
The current situation in the North Sea was basically divided into three camps: the four major sects led by the Zhen Ling Sect, the loose alliance formed by the Mysterious Spirit Sect, the Vast Ocean Sect, the Sea Flame Sect, the Flying Feather Sect, and the Ling Gu Sect, and the twelve neutral forces.
These three major factions each took turns sending Dharma adepts to guard Frost Island, so that the entire Frost Island always maintained a scale of at least six Dharma adepts.
Among them, Zhenling, Xuan Ling, and the Vast Ocean Sect all had Laozu guarding them all year round, because these three sects had the largest share of the mine on Frost Island. Furthermore, because Zhenling had monopolized a mid-sized spirit stone mine, after Tian Ling Laozu returned to Zhenling to assume the position of sect leader, the ones who came to guard Frost Island had always been mid Dharma adepts.
Just as Lu Ping came out of the teleportation formation, he felt that the Spirit Qi on the entire Frost Island seemed to fluctuate strangely. Before Lu Ping could use his Divine Will, a series of roars came from the southeast direction of Frost Island.
The southeast direction was the place where Lu Ping had discovered the mid-sized spirit stone mine. After that, Tian Ling Laozu had built Zhenling's palace on that mid-sized spirit stone mine to guarantee ownership of the entire mine. After that, the few Laozu who guarded Frost Island also used the palace that Tian Ling Laozu had built.
Lu Ping's Divine Will instantly extended towards the southeast direction. Immediately, a majestic Divine Will returned. However, because Lu Ping's Divine Will came from the direction of Zhenling's teleportation formation, this majestic Divine Will was cautious, but not hostile.
"Martial Grandaunt Tian Xue, disciple Lu Xuanping!"
Lu Ping hurriedly stated his identity. That majestic Divine Will showed an extremely shocked expression, and instantly retracted.
Lu Ping scratched his head. He didn't go to the palace to greet Tian Xue Laozu first. Instead, there was a flash of light under his feet, and he headed towards the center of the Spirit Qi fluctuation.
