Lu Ping, who returned from the trade fair, devoted himself to intense training again.
In this trade fair, although Lu Ping didn't spend a lot of spirit stones, he exchanged a lot of other items, and the harvest was naturally not small.
Especially to get two bottles of Thick Blood Pills, which is equivalent to the value of forty Essence Blood Pills, not to mention that the twenty Thick Blood Pills can be consumed in only twenty days, while the Essence Blood Pills with the same potency require It took Lu Ping forty days to use it up, that is to say, the efficiency of Lu Ping's practice with Thick Blood Pill would be doubled, and the effect would naturally increase greatly.
In the blink of an eye, another half year passed, and Lu Ping was almost eighteen years old. With the help of sufficient spirit stones and elixirs, Lu Ping finally reached the peak of the eighth level of blood refining, and touched the barrier of the ninth level of blood refining.
In the past six months, the biggest thing is that the True Spirit Sect and the Xuanling Sect finally reached a reconciliation under the mediation of many sects in the Beihai Alliance.
After investigation, the Xuanling faction finally figured out the "truth" of the espionage case. It was because some monks in the hemolytic period of the Xuanling faction supported some casual cultivators through "illegal" means because of insufficient cultivation resources. Obtaining cultivation resources, for this reason, the Xuanling faction expresses its deep regret for the losses caused by the five sects including the Zhenling faction due to its own poor management. Thirty years of military service and the punishment decision of revoking the status of inner disciple.
The Zhenling faction and others agreed with the investigation of the Xuanling faction, but declared that the fifteen small islands they occupied would be used as compensation for the five factions including the Zhenling faction, and the Zhenling faction would legalize the fait accompli.
However, the Xuanling faction, relying on traditional forces and the relationship network that has been established for many years, united with most sects of the Beihai Alliance to force the Zhenling faction to agree to the "fighting to seize the islands" of the fifteen islands.
The so-called "fighting to seize the island" means that the two sides send 15 hemolytic period disciples to each other to draw lots to fight. Each fighting uses a small island as a bet, and the winning party gets the ownership of the small island.
Under strong diplomatic pressure, the Zhenling faction and other five factions were forced to agree to "fight to seize the island", but Zhenling Island strongly demanded that Xuanqi Island be excluded from the list of "fighting to seize the island" because of the geographical location of Xuanqi Island. The location is special, it is the direct connection between the spheres of influence of the Xuanling faction and the True Spirit faction. The strength of the True Spirit faction is far inferior to that of the Xuanling faction, and it is necessary to strengthen its own defense in depth.
This time, many sects began to support the True Spirit Sect, allowing them to check and balance the Xuanling Sect to maintain stability within the alliance.
When the news came, all the disciples of the True Spirit Sect were filled with righteous indignation, especially the disciples of the True Spirit Bieyuan who participated in this experience. The island they captured at the cost of the death of dozens of disciples has become a situation where the two sides are fighting again. They think This is the weakness of the sect and the injustice of the alliance.
Not long after, a leader of the other academy "inadvertently" said with regret: "Who made our sect weak in strength, so that we have no right to speak in the alliance, and we will be bullied if we lag behind!"
After these words came out, after being induced by someone with a heart, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect shared the same hatred, and directly aimed their hatred at several sects headed by the Xuanling Sect. In the past half a year, the Qifang team has added four disciples of the seventh level of blood refining, two more disciples of the eighth level of blood refining, Shi Lingling has also entered the ninth level of blood refining, Yao Yong and Du Feng are about to Having reached the peak of the ninth level of blood refinement, the two possessed the Hemolysis Pill, and had already begun preparations for the hemolysis period.
From Lu Ping’s point of view, the turmoil outside seemed like both sides had arranged to act. When everyone thought that the True Spirit faction had failed in this challenge to the Xuanling faction’s authority in the Beihai Alliance, Lu Ping thought that the True Spirit faction was shaken. The status of the Xuanling Sect has been successfully tested.
Although the Xuanling faction forced the Zhenling faction to make concessions, they had no choice but to accept the reality of "fighting to seize the island" and seemed to have won diplomatically, but the object of the True Spirit faction's concession was the invaded Xuanling faction's island! What's more, the Xuanling faction might not be able to benefit too much from this concession, especially the Xuanqi Island, which has a small mine vein, was excluded from the list of "fighting to seize the island" and was legally occupied by the True Spirit faction.
The other sects in the alliance are still very willing to see a Xuanling faction that is checked and balanced, rather than a dominant Xuanling faction.
Sure enough, another month has passed, and the results of the "fighting to win the island" came out under the supervision of many sects of the Beihai Alliance. In the fourteen fights, the True Spirit faction won nine times, and they even went to Xuanqi Island. , the True Spirit faction obtained the actual benefits of the ten small islands.
From Lu Ping's point of view, although this fight was on a small scale, it also reflected a problem from the side: that is, the strength of the hemolytic monks of the True Spirit Sect is generally higher than the monks of the Xuanling Sect, even though it is only a dozen people The competition, but people can't help but get such a result.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the True Spirit Sect dared to challenge the Xuanling Sect!
Lu Ping finally came to his own conclusion from the dizzying game between the two sides in the Beihai Alliance this time, but it was just his own opinion. Lu Ping laughed at himself. Naturally, the ancestors of the faction planned these things. Breakthrough cultivation is important.
In the practice room, Lu Ping sat there quietly holding a Bloody Blood Pill.
It has been more than a month since Lu Ping reached the peak of the eighth level. Although the ninth level of blood refining is in front of him, Lu Ping just failed to pierce the window paper.
Lu Ping decided to try it with a muddy blood pill.
All along, Lu Ping has been reluctant to use the Bloody Blood Pill for cultivation. Although Lu Ping's cultivation base is far stronger than that of monks of the same level, using the Bloody Blood Pill is still unnecessary waste. This time, he didn't care about breaking through to the ninth floor.
Lu Ping put the Hunxue Pill into his mouth, and the medicine melted at the entrance, and turned into a powerful spiritual force in his abdomen, which was then absorbed by the blood, and cooperated with Lu Ping's continuous practice of "hemolysis and spiritual power" to completely integrate into the blood Among them, the originally bright red blood suddenly became a little brighter, and the beating of the heart became slower but stronger. Under the double action of the heart and spiritual power, the galloping blood slowly widened the blood vessels in the body, and at the same time, many blood vessels in the body The unconnected places were also unblocked, and the strong spiritual power penetrated into all parts of the body driven by the blood, transforming Lu Ping's body into a stronger body, and some impurities that could not be removed from the body before were excluded from the body.
Nine layers of blood refining!
Lu Ping finally reached it, only one step away from the hemolysis period. Looking at the Tianling Mountains where the True Spirit Sect resides, Lu Ping secretly thought that it seems that he needs to make a plan for himself and speed up his preparations for entering the hemolysis period.
