"What is the Artifact Refinement Technique?"
"Ye Ping, you've already mastered the art of refining pills without a weapon."
"But don't you think that refining pills without a weapon is still a little less meaningful?"
Xu Luochen said.
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Luochen."
Ye Ping nodded. Although refining pills without a weapon was less troublesome, the consumption of spiritual energy was huge and hence, it was not very meaningful.
"That's right, Ye Ping, listen to me now."
"As the name suggests, the Artifact Refinement Technique is to use weapons to refine pills. The method of refining pills is also very simple, but you have to remember that the simplest things are. The simpler something is, the more effort you have to put in."
"Only by putting in effort can you refine a truly perfect pill."
"Ye Ping, I'll demonstrate it to you once, watch carefully."
At this point, Xu Luochen took action and grabbed a bucket of water from the side.
No matter what, refining pills required medicinal herbs.
Xu Luochen couldn't afford medicinal herbs, so he thought of water.
However, the bucket of water was not ordinary water, but rootless water that fell from the sky.
Xu Luochen thought that the idea of using rainwater to refine pills was really unprecedented.
Besides, Xu Luochen had already thought it through. Once Ye Ping could refine pills, he would be considered a pioneer.
He was the best rainwater alchemist in the world of immortal cultivation.
'Hah, that's a great name.'
Of course, Xu Luochen didn't care much about whether he could succeed or not. It would be best if he could succeed, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. He could only say that he had the wrong idea and that he would go back and think of other alchemy techniques.
Anyway, it mainly depended on Ye Ping's upper limit.
"Get the pot!"
"Boil the water!"
In the next moment, Xu Luochen poured a few buckets of rootless water into the iron pot. He then cast a spell and wisps of flames appeared under the iron pot.
The flames burned and the rootless water in the pot began to boil.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle …
"Ye Ping, this is probably the Artifact Refinement Technique. Just inject spiritual energy and combine it with the Artifact Refinement Technique and try it."
When the water was almost boiling, Xu Luochen immediately retreated to the side and let Ye Ping take over.
If he continued to refine, there would only be one outcome, and that would be the water boiling.
However, the outcome might be different if Ye Ping were to do it.
"Alright!"
Ye Ping nodded and then condensed a large amount of spiritual energy before pouring it into the rootless water.
Xu Luochen didn't stay idle either as he controlled the pill fire.
Just like that, a white mist floated up, and the iron pot burned red. The rootless water in the pot became less and less.
However, an astonishing change occurred.
Originally, the rootless water did not have any color, but as the mist evaporated, the rootless water became incomparably dark green.
Even after an entire hour had passed.
When there was only about a bowl of water left in the pot, the rootless water in the iron pot turned into an incomparably thick green mucus. Furthermore, it emitted an indescribable smell. It wasn't smelly, but it wasn't pleasant either.
"Senior Brother Luochen, is this pill mud?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Ping couldn't help but look at Xu Luochen and ask him about it.
Xu Luochen was stunned too.
Could he really refine it?
This method of mine actually works?
Xu Luochen was shocked, but at the same time, he was overjoyed.
He didn't think that his random idea would actually work.
If he could really refine pills, then wouldn't he be able to fly?
The number one person in the Rainwater Alchemy School in the Cultivation World?
"Ye Ping, don't get too excited, continue refining."
After coming back to his senses, Xu Luochen told Ye Ping not to get too excited and to continue refining.
The reason being, there was still a lot of water in the thick green substance in the pot.
Just like that, another half an hour passed.
Finally, there was no more white mist floating up, and all the water had basically evaporated.
There was only a lump of green paste left in the iron pot.
There wasn't a lot of green paste, and it was about the size of a palm. It had no smell and was a little sticky. It looked like pill mud.
The so-called pill paste was formed after the medicinal herbs were melted. It was like mud with a bit of moisture. The more skilled cultivators would use Dao techniques to automatically knead it into pills, while the more inferior alchemists would use tools to condense it into pills.
Xu Luochen would knead it into pill mud with his hands.
"Senior Brother, is this done?"
After Xu Luochen retracted his pill fire, Ye Ping looked at him with some curiosity.
"It should be."
Xu Luochen didn't know if he had succeeded or not, but generally speaking, using pill fire to refine rainwater would basically result in a warm mist. However, the strange green pill mud was refined. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was at least a success.
At the thought of this, Xu Luochen couldn't help but say, "Ye Ping, go to my room and get the pill bottle. This thing is refined from rootless water, so it can't come into contact with the items of the five elements. I have a jade bottle in my room that's specially used for storing pills, hurry and get it."
Xu Luochen said.
Although he didn't know what the green paste was, it seemed to be very impressive. He decided to knead it into pills first.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Ye Ping left and walked towards Xu Luochen's residence.
However, Xu Luochen kept his eyes fixed on the pill furnace.
In the end, Xu Luochen reached out in a bid to touch it, but he soon retracted his hand.
It was a little hot.
He had to wait before touching it.
However, at this moment, a figure slowly appeared behind Xu Luochen.
"Luochen! What are you doing here? "
A voice sounded.
It was Daoist Tai Hua's voice.
"Master, why are you here?"
Xu Luochen was a little surprised as he didn't expect the Sect Leader to be there.
Thinking of this, Xu Luochen hurriedly stood up and looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
As Xu Luochen stood up, Daoist Tai Hua's expression suddenly became extremely peculiar.
"Luochen, what is this?"
Looking at the green paste in the iron pot, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but take a few steps back.
His expression changed drastically.
"Luochen, are you crazy? Are you using the toilet in the pot?"
"Also, what have you eaten recently? Why is it green?"
Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but take a few steps back and look at Xu Luochen with disgust and disgust in his eyes.
"No, Master, you've misunderstood. I didn't use the toilet, I was refining pills."
Hearing Daoist Tai Hua's words, Xu Luochen hurriedly reacted and immediately explained.
"What? You actually used such a filthy thing to refine pills? Barf! No wonder I smelled a strange odor. Barf! Luochen, are you out of your mind? "
Daoist Tai Hua felt his stomach churning and he was about to throw up the meal he had eaten more than ten days ago.
Besides, the strange smell in the air made Daoist Tai Hua feel even more nauseous.
"No, no, Master, you've really misunderstood, I'm using the rootless water to refine pills."
Xu Luochen hurriedly explained.
"Rootless water? Luochen, I think you've lost your mind. You're even boiling urine. No wonder it turned green. Barf! Get away from me. "
Daoist Tai Hua's face became even more sullen.
He didn't expect Xu Luochen to be so bored as to refine pills with this stuff. He was simply out of his mind.
"Master, Sect Leader, you've misunderstood me, you've really misunderstood me. You don't believe me? Fine, I'll eat it and show you. It's definitely not what you think. "
At this moment, Xu Luochen was at a loss for words.
In a moment of desperation, Xu Luochen grabbed a portion of the green paste and swallowed it.
'Hey!'
You don't say. Although it doesn't smell good, it tastes good.
"Master, look, I've already eaten it. It's not what you think. It's quite delicious too, do you want to have a bite?"
Xu Luochen explained.
"Barf!"
"Get lost! Get lost, don't touch me, barf! "
"Go to hell, retch!!!!!"
Daoist Tai Hua turned around and fled.
He initially wanted to look for Ye Ping, but after hearing from Wang Zhuoyu that Ye Ping had been taken away by Xu Luochen, he decided to come here.
But who would have thought that this disciple of his had turned into a fool from refining pills. He actually used this thing to refine pills, and the most amazing thing was that he actually ate it.
Daoist Tai Hua fled in a panic.
He vomited as soon as he ran.
"Master, you've wronged me."
Xu Luochen cried. He didn't expect that refining pills would cause such a misunderstanding.
However, before Xu Luochen could chase after him …
In an instant, the rolling spiritual energy exploded in his stomach.
In just an instant, two spirit meridians were forcefully opened up.
"Ah!!!"
"I broke through the realm???"
In the next moment, Xu Luochen froze on the spot.
Xu Luochen didn't expect himself to break through the realm.
It was all because he ate a mouthful of green pill paste.
'That's too outrageous.'
Besides, he broke through from the third level of Qi Refinement to the fifth level of Qi Refinement in one go without any side effects.
Among the pills, there was a kind of pill called the Qi Breaking Pill that could allow cultivators to break through one level.
However, the Qi Breaking Pill was expensive and the side effects alone were terrifying.
After swallowing a Qi Breaking Pill, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm would be reduced by half.
It would be reduced by half.
Originally, one had a 70% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, but if one swallowed a Qi Breaking Pill for the sake of speed, there would only be a 30% chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Hence, swallowing the Qi Breaking Pill was equivalent to gambling with one's future.
However, just a little bit of the green ointment would allow one to break through two levels. In terms of effects, it was much better than the Qi Breaking Pill. In terms of side effects, there were no side effects at all.
Xu Luochen could sense that.
At the thought of this, Xu Luochen hurriedly looked at the iron pot and grabbed a small portion of the green ointment before carefully swallowing it.
In less than 15 minutes, his cultivation level broke through again.
He soared from the sixth level of Qi Refinement to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
"Ah!"
Xu Luochen began to doubt his life.
It took him nearly ten years to cultivate from the first level of Qi Refinement to the fourth level of Qi Refinement, but now, it took him less than two hours to go from the fourth level to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
That was simply incredible.
In the next moment, Xu Luochen wanted to continue eating some of the green ointment, but in the end, he held himself back because he knew that good things should be shared. It wouldn't make sense for him to keep it all to himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Luochen began to rub the pills.
However, what made Xu Luochen a little curious was why Ye Ping hadn't returned yet. He had been gone for a long time, why wasn't he back yet?
At the same time …
In the distance, Ye Ping, who was rushing towards Xu Luochen, happened to run into Daoist Tai Hua who was fleeing.
"Sect Leader, what are you doing?"
Holding the jade bottle in his hand, Ye Ping looked at Daoist Tai Hua in surprise, wondering what happened. 'Why does Daoist Tai Hua look like he's seen a ghost? Why is he vomiting while walking?'
"Ye Ping!"
Daoist Tai Hua was a little surprised as he didn't expect to run into Ye Ping here.
"Sect Leader, what's the matter with you?"
Ye Ping continued to ask, looking at Daoist Tai Hua strangely.
"Nothing, I just encountered something that made me feel nauseous. Ye Ping, you're here at the right time, I have something to discuss with you."
After seeing Ye Ping, Daoist Tai Hua stopped vomiting a little. He did have something to discuss with Ye Ping.
"Okay, but Sect Leader, please wait a moment while I deliver the medicine bottle to Senior Brother Luochen."
Ye Ping nodded, but he still had to deliver the medicine bottle to Luochen now.
"Don't! Don't mention him to me. Ye Ping, your Second Senior Brother has gone mad, don't bother about him. Come with me now, it's about your promotion. "
At the mention of Xu Luochen, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but feel nauseous again. He hurriedly told Ye Ping to stop talking about him.
'Promotion?'
At the mention of the promotion, Ye Ping perked up and immediately forgot about Xu Luochen.
Soon, Ye Ping left with Daoist Tai Hua.
Soon, in the Qingyun Hall.
Daoist Tai Hua walked in with Ye Ping.
Walking into the hall, Daoist Tai Hua looked a little mysterious as he deliberately closed the door.
Ye Ping didn't say anything and simply waited for Daoist Tai Hua to speak.
After the door of the hall was closed, Daoist Tai Hua walked towards Ye Ping.
"Sit."
Daoist Tai Hua waved his hand and told Ye Ping to sit down and talk.
After Ye Ping sat down, Daoist Tai Hua opened the door without hesitation and went straight to the point.
"Ye Ping, I promised you before that as long as you get a good ranking in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, I'll let you become an official disciple."
"This time, you went to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet and achieved good results. Although there was an accident in the middle, you didn't embarrass the Qingyun Dao Sect. So, I plan to officially accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
Daoist Tai Hua said with a serious expression in the hall.
"Of course I'm willing, thank you for accepting me as your disciple, Sect Leader!"
Hearing these words, Ye Ping was extremely excited and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Daoist Tai Hua.
In Ye Ping's heart, although Daoist Tai Hua didn't teach him anything, he definitely wouldn't forget his kindness. If it weren't for Daoist Tai Hua, he might still be somewhere bitterly seeking immortality.
Now that Daoist Tai Hua was willing to officially accept him as his disciple, Ye Ping was naturally excited.
"You're still calling me Sect Leader?"
Daoist Tai Hua wanted to play with his beard, but when he realized that he didn't have one, he gave up.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ye Ping was overjoyed and immediately called him Master.
"Yes, good, good, good."
"Ye Ping, I didn't specially prepare any gift for you today. Tell me what you want and I'll see if I can give it to you."
Daoist Tai Hua said.
Accepting Ye Ping as his disciple was not the main point, and the main thing was to discuss with Ye Ping about the Jin Nation Academy.
Hence, Daoist Tai Hua indeed didn't prepare anything, but it didn't matter. He had to put it nicely so as to at least make others feel comfortable.
However, in the end, Daoist Tai Hua continued.
"Of course, if you want any Dharma artifacts or Dharma treasures, don't ask. It's not that I don't have any, but I feel that cultivators of our generation must not rely too much on Dharma artifacts. Do you understand?"
Daoist Tai Hua added.
He didn't have any Dharma artifacts or Spirit Stones.
"Master, I don't care about Dharma artifacts or Dharma treasures, but recently, I've been liking fist techniques. Can you give me a fist technique Mystical Ability?"
Ye Ping didn't care much about Dharma artifacts or Dharma treasures, and he agreed with what Daoist Tai Hua said.
A truly powerful cultivator definitely didn't rely on external objects, but on themselves.
Hence, Ye Ping made that request.
"Fist technique Mystical Ability? Okay, I'll prepare it for you in a few days. "
Hearing Ye Ping's request, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. 'Isn't it easy to get a fist technique Mystical Ability?
I'll just go down the mountain and buy a few. Is one enough? If not, I'll buy a few more for you. '
However, at this point, Daoist Tai Hua coughed slightly and looked at Ye Ping.
"Ye Ping, there are two things that I have to talk to you about."
Daoist Tai Hua seemed a little unnatural.
"Master, please make it clear."
Standing in the main hall, Ye Ping bowed.
"So it's like this. Your Eldest Senior Brother asked me to tell you these two things through his Divine Sense. Listen carefully."
Daoist Tai Hua was really a little embarrassed to say that it was his idea, so he directly pushed the responsibility to Su Changyu.
"Eldest Senior Brother?"
Ye Ping was even more curious. He didn't know what Su Changyu wanted to tell him.
"Yes, it's your eldest Senior Brother."
"Your eldest Senior Brother is traveling around and honing his Sword Dao. He can't return to the sect for the time being, but he used his divine sense technique to ask me to tell you to go to the Jin Nation Academy."
Since he had already pushed the responsibility to Su Changyu, Daoist Tai Hua felt very natural.
"Go to the Jin Nation Academy?"
Ye Ping was even more curious when he heard about the Jin Nation Academy.
To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't have a good impression of the Jin Nation Academy, but he just felt that after going to the Jin Nation Academy after going to Qingzhou, he would rather stay in the sect and not go anywhere else. Wouldn't it be better to cultivate in the sect?
"Yes, go to the Jin Nation Academy."
"However, Ye Ping, don't be anxious, let me tell you slowly."
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and told Ye Ping not to be anxious.
"Master, please tell me in detail."
Ye Ping was not in a hurry, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Ye Ping, I'll tell you about this, but you must not spread it out."
"When your eldest Senior Brother was young, he also went to the Jin Nation Academy, but he didn't go there to study. Instead, he lurked in the Jin Nation Academy. Do you know why?"
Daoist Tai Hua began to make things up.
"Why?"
Ye Ping couldn't think of a reason.
"It's because your eldest Senior Brother once sensed a supreme sword intent in the Jin Nation Academy. According to your eldest Senior Brother, this sword intent can be called the best sword intent in the world."
"It's just that I'm not very clear about the specifics. However, your Eldest Senior Brother believes that whoever can comprehend that supreme sword intent will be able to prove the path of peerless sword dao in the future and become the number one sword immortal in history."
Daoist Tai Hua's expression was very serious as he made things up.
In Ye Ping's eyes, Daoist Tai Hua's words had already attracted his attention.
'Prove the path of the supreme Sword Dao?'
'The best Sword Immortal since ancient times?'
'That's … a little terrifying.'
"Has Eldest Senior Brother comprehended it?"
Ye Ping couldn't help but ask.
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head.
"Your eldest Senior Brother has been cultivating a supreme sword technique since he was a child. Although he has comprehended it, he can't obtain this sword technique or sword intent."
"So this time, your eldest Senior Brother sent you a voice transmission because he wants you to go to the Jin Nation Academy and comprehend this supreme sword intent."
At this point, Daoist Tai Hua's tone was full of mystery.
Ye Ping, on the other hand, fell into endless shock.
