Even Lu Ping himself didn't know how long it took for Lu Ping to break through to the Dharma Manifestation Stage. In short, when he opened his eyes again, he only saw Dabao, who had advanced to the Middle-stage of Core Forging.
"Dabao, how long has it been?"
Dabao said with a sad face, "Boss, you have been in closed-door training for three years since you broke through to the Dharma Manifestation Stage!"
Lu Ping asked curiously, "It's only three years. It's not a big deal."
Dabao said with a sad face, "But boss, do you know that we spent at least one year in a coma, and another year in a coma? The other year, we cultivated in fear under the pressure of the bloodline from time to time. Only in the last year did the top of Feiling Mountain completely calm down. I dared to come to the top to see you, but Lu Xiaohai didn't dare to step on the top of the mountain. Sister Zilan also hid with her bees!"
Seeing the strange look on Lu Ping's face, Dabao's face became even more bitter.
During the process of Lu Ping's advancement to the Dharma Manifestation Stage and condensing the magical seed, the whole Feiling Mountain was shrouded in the huge pressure of the Dragon Dharma Manifestation. Not to mention a low-level demon like Dabao, even a top-level demon like Lu Xiaohai, the direct descendant of Taoist Hu, could not resist the majestic dragon power.
After that, Lu Ping began to consolidate his cultivation in closed-door training. But because Lu Ping's cultivation had just broken through, he could not completely control his own situation, which led to Lu Ping's breath always in a state of instability. The huge pressure on the top of Feiling Mountain was sometimes restrained and sometimes released, which made Dabao, Lu Xiaohai, and the Purple Crystal Bees always in a state of fear. The Purple Crystal Bee King simply took the remaining one-tenth of the bees all the way out of Feiling Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Feiling Mountain.
It was not until a year later that Lu Ping's cultivation began to gradually stabilize, and his breath began to slowly calm down and gradually converge. The top of Feiling Mountain finally returned to peace.
But Lu Xiaohai still did not dare to go to the top of the mountain to investigate. The Purple Crystal Bees were resting, and Dabao was worried, so he went to the top of the mountain alone.
At this time, Lu Ping frowned as he looked at Dabao from head to toe. Dabao felt like Lu Ping's gaze was like a pair of sharp blades that could pierce into his body. Dabao couldn't help but shiver in fear. Lu Ping's gaze was like a pair of sharp blades that could pierce into his body.
"You smelted the Black Jade Stone?"
Lu Ping looked at Dabao with some displeasure. The Black Jade Stone was only a Mystic-class upper grade earth attribute spirit item. Although Dabao had smelted two of it, it was his first time smelting a heaven and earth spirit item, and it was only a Mystic-class spirit item. His foundation was still weak.
Dabao complained incessantly, "Boss, how can it be so easy to smelt a heaven and earth spirit item? Besides, no one will give me Spirit Forging Pills to eat when you go into seclusion. Even if I want to smelt a low-grade earth spirit item, I won't be able to do it! "
Dabao actually had some low-grade spirit pills on him, but it was obvious that he had his eyes on the Spirit Forging Pills. Not to mention, the effects of using a Spirit Forging Pill on his first time smelting a heaven and earth spirit item were not very good. Moreover, Dabao's aptitude was too low. Even if Lu Ping used a secret technique to disperse Dabao's cultivation and let him re-cultivate, the most he could do was raise Dabao's aptitude to the level of a mid-grade demon in a short period of time. To be able to smelt two Mystic-class upper grade spirit items was already quite an achievement.
"Besides, even in Zhenling, being able to smelt a Mystic-class upper grade heaven and earth spirit item when advancing to the mid-grade Core Forging Realm is already very good!"
Dabao had managed the underground auction house on Huang Li Island and had handled a lot of treasures. He knew a lot about the situation of Zhenling's Core Forging Realm cultivators.
Although Zhenling already had more than 300 Core Forging Realm cultivators, more than half of them were early Core Forging Realm cultivators. More than half of these early Core Forging Realm cultivators had yet to obtain a heaven and earth spirit item to advance to the mid-grade Core Forging Realm. At least one-third of them had prepared a Mystic-class heaven and earth spirit item to advance to the mid-grade Core Forging Realm. Only a few of them had extravagant hopes of obtaining a better heaven and earth spirit item.
Among the nearly one hundred mid-stage Core Forging cultivators of Zhen Ling Sect, more than half of them had only advanced to the late-stage Core Forging realm after refining a profound-grade spirit item. Most of them had already lost the opportunity to advance to the late-stage Core Forging realm.
Lu Ping fiercely glared at Dabao, scaring Dabao into silence. He didn't dare to say another word.
Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Since it's like this, you just have to work hard on your cultivation. However, don't be in a hurry to improve your cultivation. Instead, focus on building a solid foundation. A high-grade heaven and earth spirit item will at least keep your hope of advancing to the Transcendence Realm. If you have the help of the Spirit Forging Pill in the future, you might even have a chance of refining two low-grade heaven and earth spirit items."
Dabao laughed mischievously and said, "Boss, I'm just an ordinary Spirit Seeking Mouse. To be able to reach this point in the Spirit Seeking Mouse Clan, I've already earned enough. Now that I can even keep my hope of advancing to the Transcendence Realm, you don't have to worry about me anymore!" Thinking that he had painstakingly planned for him, but this guy was so heartless in front of him, Lu Ping couldn't help but be angry.
However, how clever was Dabao? When he saw Lu Ping's face sink, he knew that something was wrong. His body shrank down, turned into his original form, and plunged into the ground to escape, leaving Lu Ping helpless.
However, Lu Ping admired Dabao's open-minded attitude. Not everyone could be as optimistic as Dabao.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and patted behind him, saying, "Linglong, have you brewed a few drops of wine in the past three years?"
A rustling sound came from behind Lu Ping, and Linglong tiptoed to Lu Ping's side. When she noticed that the aura around Lu Ping had completely calmed down, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, saying, "How would Linglong dare to collect the spiritual energy to brew wine? When your Transcendence was formed, it swallowed the pure and thick spiritual energy gathered by the seven spiritual veins on the top of Feiling Peak, almost killing Linglong. After that, the expectations on you were too terrifying, so Linglong had to seal her own spirituality, leaving only her body to regulate the spiritual veins. How would she have the spare time to brew the spirit wine?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Now that my cultivation has been consolidated, I'm going to start refining pills. I'll leave the peak to you."
The pill Lu Ping was going to refine was the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill. In the past, Lu Ping had exchanged the recipe for this pill from Wu Tianxing of the Spirit Beast Sect, Laozu. Later, he had exchanged 12 drops of Wonder Jade Dew at the Spirit Item Exchange of the Heavenly Xuan Sect for a top-grade Blood Skeleton Flower with 18 petals. This was the main ingredient for refining the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill.
After years of preparation, Lu Ping had already collected all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill. Originally, Lu Ping planned to refine it after he reached the peak of the Core Forging Realm. He didn't expect that after a series of events, it would be delayed until now.
However, at least with Lu Ping's current cultivation, the success rate of refining this pill was undoubtedly higher.
Each petal of the Blood Skeleton Flower could be used as a separate ingredient, which meant that the 18 petals of this Blood Skeleton Flower could be used to refine a Spirit Water Nourishing Pill.
However, the efficacy of the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill would vary depending on the number of petals used. Also, for a Dharma-level pill like the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill, which was used to strengthen one's physical body, a cultivator could only consume three pills before their body would lose its efficacy due to the body's resistance.
If Lu Ping wanted to fully absorb the efficacy of this Blood Skeleton Flower into his body, the best way was to divide the Blood Skeleton Flower into three portions. Each portion would have six petals, and he would refine a total of three Spirit Water Nourishing Pills. This way, he would be able to maximize the efficacy of this Blood Skeleton Flower.
It wasn't that Lu Ping hadn't thought of refining the entire Blood Skeleton Flower into a pill. That way, if he encountered another Blood Skeleton Flower in the future, he could continue refining the Spirit Water Nourishing Pill.
However, Lu Ping had experience refining this pill for Wu Tianxing and Laozu. At that time, with Lu Ping's alchemy skills, he could only refine four Blood Skeleton Flower petals.
Now that Lu Ping had the Heaven-level Spirit Vein Essence Milk on hand, and his alchemy skills had also improved along with his cultivation, he estimated that he could only refine six petals at most.
Before Lu Ping had advanced to the Core Forging stage, his physical body had already reached the level of a top-tier ritual weapon because he had taken the Golden Resilience Pill, the Bone Forging Pill, and the Azure Wood Jade Pill. Normally, when an early Dharma adept was nourished by Spirit Qi, his physical body would be at the same level of strength.
However, when Lu Ping had advanced to the Dharma stage, his Dragon Dharma Power had been so powerful that it had even absorbed the Spirit Qi from the seven main Spirit Veins. This had allowed Lu Ping's physical body to receive far more nourishment than an ordinary Dharma adept. This had allowed the strength of Lu Ping's physical body to reach a new level, which was equivalent to the strength of a talisman that had been condensed into a talisman.
Normally, even if Lu Ping had dispersed the Righteous Qi around his body and removed the cultivation in his body, he would still be able to withstand an attack from a first level Core Forging adept using a talisman that had been condensed into a talisman and not be damaged.
This level of physical strength was usually only achievable by those adepts who had advanced to the mid Dharma stage.
With the Spirit Vein Essence Milk, a top-grade heaven-level spirit water, and the supply of Spirit Qi from the seven main Spirit Veins, coupled with the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly, the process of refining the Spirit Water Nourishing Elixir was exceptionally smooth. It was just that it took a long time.
However, this was not surprising. The higher the grade of the spirit elixir, the longer it took to refine it. This was also a huge form of torture for an alchemist's energy.
Fortunately, after Lu Ping had advanced to the mid Dharma stage, his Divine Will had increased greatly. Three months of sleepless nights was nothing to Lu Ping. The Na Chuan cauldron was opened, and the Spirit Water Nourishing Elixir was successfully refined.
With the success of the first elixir, the process of refining the second and third elixirs was greatly reduced. It had only taken a total of eight months.
Lu Ping looked at the three inch-sized elixirs in front of him and could not help but swallow them. They were so big, he did not know if they would get stuck in his throat and not be able to be swallowed.
However, thinking about the effects of the Spirit Water Nourishing Elixir on Wu Tianxing and Laozu, Lu Ping swallowed one of the elixirs.
