Lu Ping knew that the Li family might have guessed his identity as an alchemist. In the three months since he entered Sanjia City, Lu Ping had not deliberately concealed his whereabouts. That day in the mortal market, Lu Ping discovered another thousand-year-old spiritual grass and exchanged it for a blood-dissolving pill.
It was even more sensational among casual cultivators, and Lu Ping frequently visited shops selling spiritual herbs in the city, purchasing 500-year-old spiritual herbs on a large scale, which further confirmed Lu Ping's identity as an alchemist.
Lu Ping called Xiao Sima and asked about what had happened on Sanjia Island these days. However, it was Xiao Sima who learned that a group of monks wearing bright silver robes came to Sanjia City a few days ago and were warmly received by the head of the Wang family.
When Lu Ping heard the news, he squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Then little Sima felt that Lu Ping beside him seemed to have suddenly changed. As for what changed, little Sima couldn't tell. He just felt that Lu Ping seemed to have become more powerful.
.
Lu Ping used the Hidden Spirit Technique to upgrade his cultivation from the sixth level of hemolysis to the seventh level of hemolysis, and then, under the leadership of Xiao Sima, he walked towards the Li family's residence.
Lu Ping felt a little flattered by Li Maolin, the head of the Li family, who personally came to greet him. After all, he was a monk in the alchemy stage. Even though he was an alchemist, he was not worthy of being greeted by a monk in the alchemy stage.
Lu Ping hurriedly saluted and said: "Junior Lu Jiu, how dare I ask Senior Li to come out to greet me and kill me?"
Li Maolin brought Lu Ping to the living room, pointed to the two people who were already waiting in the hall and introduced: "This is my little girl Li Xiuzhu. I think you know the other one, little friend Lu."
Lu Ping had met the eldest lady of the Li family when he first arrived in Sanjia City, and now he was still pretending to meet her for the first time. On the other hand, the other shopkeeper of the Li family inn, Li Da, looked a little flustered, but after seeing Lu Ping,
Especially after noticing Lu Ping's cultivation at the seventh level of Hemolysis, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of something.
Li Maolin saw this and smiled without saying anything. He ordered the spiritual tea to be put on the table. After he waved away the people around him, he said, "Young Lu is an alchemist, right?"
Lu Ping did not expect that the head of the family would get straight to the point, and he said bluntly: "Exactly!"
Li Maolin was not surprised when he saw that Lu Ping did not deny it, but said: "It is a bit abrupt to invite little friend Lu this time. It's just that my daughter is about to break through the elixir forging period. I hope that I can help my daughter refine a pill that will help her condense."
Dan’s elixir.”
Lu Ping picked up the spiritual tea bowl in front of the table, took a sip gently, and said: "Senior Li is joking. As far as I know, the elixirs that help to condense the elixir are all from the half-step elixir forging stage.
The junior is just an ordinary alchemist, but there is nothing he can do about it. The senior should hire someone else. I believe that with the strength of the Li family, it is not impossible to hire a master alchemist to take action."
Lu Ping's refusal did not surprise Li Maolin, but he said: "To be honest, little friend, what happened to me in Sanjia City during this period is not only my Li family, I'm afraid the other two families are also seeing it. Little friend
Not only did they collect five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, but the few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that were used as treasures in the stores in Sanjia City were also bought at high prices by the friends, especially the unknown thousand-year-old spiritual herbs from the hands of the casual cultivator Li Erqiang.
At that time, he even said that it would be of great use to the little friend. How could this happen if the little friend was not confident in refining the half-step forging elixir?"
Lu Ping knew that his identity as an alchemist had already been discovered by others, but he didn't expect that when he bought Li Erqiang's three spiritual herbs that day, his excited words made the head of the Li family guess so much, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Li Maolin saw that Lu Ping was speechless, so he said: "Please help me, little friend, and my Li family will be very grateful!"
Lu Ping knew that a monk in the alchemy stage had already given himself enough face by reaching this stage. If he refused again, he would offend others at all costs. These three cities were already their territory. Whether he could get out of here at that time was a matter of doubt.
question.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said: "I'm very curious. With the strength of the Li family, they can definitely invite an alchemy master to take action, or an alchemy master who has reached the alchemy forging stage. After all, after possessing the divine mind, refining is half a step away.
The success rate of elixirs in the elixir forging stage will be much higher."
Li Maolin's face relaxed when he saw that Lu Ping didn't refuse, and Li Xiuzhu and shopkeeper Li next to him also looked happy.
Hearing Lu Ping's words, Li Maolin smiled bitterly and said: "Please forgive me, little friend. My daughter has no choice but to wait so long and cannot ask the alchemy master to take action."
Lu Ping nodded and no longer asked, but said: "Although I was lucky enough to successfully refine the elixir that passed the half-step elixir forging stage, due to the limited level, the elixir-making rate is extremely low. I am afraid that I will have to prepare a lot more."
Dividing Spirit Grass."
Li Maolin nodded and said: "Of course, the family has prepared three spiritual herbs. As long as the little friend can refine two, it will be fine. Even if it fails, my Li family will never embarrass the little friend."
After sending Lu Ping away, shopkeeper Li cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is this a bit hasty? After all, the other party is only a monk in the hemolysis stage. It is probably extremely difficult to successfully refine the elixir for the half-step elixir forging stage."
Li Maolin did not answer Shopkeeper Li's words, but said to Miss Li next to him: "Zhu'er, what do you think?"
Miss Li heard this and said: "It's too late, I have to take a gamble no matter what."
Li Maolin sighed and said: "Yes, the Zhang family in Sanjia City has always been powerful, and the Wang and Li families have always been a joint check and balance. But I didn't expect that the Wang family actually had contacts with the Crystal Palace. This caught my Li family off guard."
Miss Li whispered: "It's my daughter who has caused trouble for the family. If she hadn't been on Majia Island..."
Li Maolin stretched out his hand to stop Miss Li's words and said: "You are not to blame for this. If it were not the case, my Li family would not have known that the Wang family had fallen to the Crystal Palace. It was a blessing in disguise, not to mention that the Wang family had fallen to the Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace, the Zhang family should be more anxious than us."
Li Maolin paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shopkeeper Li, and said, "If you had spent more of your petty thoughts on cultivation, I'm afraid you would have reached the late stage of the hemolysis stage by now. How many hundred spiritual stones does my Li family still need?"
Shopkeeper Li smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, little brother, I know my own affairs. Reaching the middle stage of hemolysis is already the limit. Little brother, I never have the extravagant hope that I can advance to the elixir forging stage. I only have the hobby of earning spiritual stones.
"
Li Maolin waved his hand, knowing that this brother was lazy, so he stopped arguing with him about these things, and instead ordered: "We must collect as many medicinal materials as possible to refine the elixir, in case this person fails to refine it three times. After one month,
, is the underground trade fair of Sanjia Island. When the time comes, you must exchange all the relevant spiritual herbs. Don’t be stingy with the spiritual stones. If you lose the spiritual stones, you can make more money. As long as my Li family has another alchemy-level monk, these three islands will
The situation will be stable for a while longer.”
Miss Li on the side saw that her father was tired and said with some concern: "Dad, how about we inform the master..."
"Nonsense!" Li Maolin stopped sternly, and then said in a low voice and solemnly: "Don't mention this matter again. Remember, my Li family is the Li family, and there has never been any ancestor. Once this matter is spread, my Li family will
The disaster of annihilation is small, and if we delay it... even if we die even if we die, it will not be enough to atone for our sins!"
Shopkeeper Li and Miss Li did not dare to speak. Li Maolin thought for a while and said: "You can invite Lu Jiu to the auction. He is an alchemist and his vision must be higher than yours. He is also included in my Li family."
Sell him a favor."
At this time, Lu Ping had returned to his cave, holding a jade slip in his hand: "Seven-step pattern pill, this is a top-quality pill that can increase the rate of pill condensation."
