The ground suddenly exploded, followed by a crack several feet wide. Looking down from the crack, it was a bizarre scene.
The vegetation on the ground became a mess, and the hillside in the distance had already collapsed, forming a large sunken pit. The towering tree suddenly broke down in the middle without any warning, and the smooth section almost seemed to glisten.
Lu Ping looked at this scene from a distance in a state of embarrassment. If he hadn't reacted quickly with his divine sense and left this area first, he might have followed in the footsteps of those towering trees. Even so, the people who have followed Lu Ping for many years But at the last moment, the auspicious cloud pocket, the magic weapon of flying escape, was twisted into four clouds by the crack extending from behind, and then swallowed into it.
It has been almost a day, and the eight dilapidated caves that were originally struggling to maintain have become more and more unstable because of the entry of Lu Ping and others. Just now, Lu Ping encountered such a space collapse. Now in Lu Ping's divine sense, The area in front of him is full of spatial cracks everywhere, like a huge mouth that cannot be filled, waiting for the prey that comes from the past.
In desperation, Lu Ping had no choice but to take a long detour, and it took an extra hour before he reached the second mountain peak.
The formation shield of this mountain peak extends directly to the foot of the mountain. There is a small elixir hall here. Lu Ping entered it, and suddenly found that his divine sense was imprisoned in a certain way. All of them became chaotic.
Lu Ping opened the scroll on a table in the elixir hall, and saw hundreds of words written on it, which was the content of the test written by the alchemy master who left the inheritance.
Lu Ping couldn't help being a little disappointed. Just as he put down the scroll, hundreds of well-preserved spirit herbs suddenly appeared on the small table in front of him. Each spirit herb had a different year and type. Inside, two-thirds of the spiritual herbs are clearly identified without using divine consciousness or divine thoughts.
There are countless exotic flowers and plants in the cultivation world, and no alchemist dares to boast that he can know all of them. This test seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult, and even if he passes the test, all Lu Ping can get is the hundreds of spiritual plants in front of him. It's just grass, so disappointment is inevitable.
Every time the year and name of a medicinal material is identified, the seal that imprisoned this spiritual herb will be automatically released, which is regarded as a reward for Lu Ping.
"Jinling flower, five-hundred-year spirit grass; Feishuang leaf, five-hundred-year spirit grass; is this, Luojia grass, or a thousand-year spirit grass!..."
After Lu Ping identified each individual plant, he discovered that among the hundreds of plants, five-year-old plants accounted for half, and the rest included hundred-year plants, and more than a hundred thousand-year plants. Lu Ping even found three three-year-old plants. , Unfortunately, only one of them is recognized, but the remaining two are not recognized.
When a stick of incense was almost burned out, Lu Ping finally picked out all the spiritual herbs he knew. Lu Ping only recognized about 500 of the more than 700 plants of various types, which was almost two-thirds. standard.
At least half of the 200 spirit herbs that have not been recognized by Lu Ping are 1,000 years old, and there are even 5 spirit herbs that have reached the level of 3,000 years, which makes Lu Ping very annoyed.
At this moment, the seal on the surface of the remaining 200 or so spiritual grasses was also lifted. Under Lu Ping's surprised eyes, the surface of this ordinary table suddenly became as smooth as a mirror, and a flash of light appeared on it. There are pictures of spirit grasses, and below are the names, medicinal age, medicinal value, etc. of these spirit herbs. Most of the recorded spirit herbs are more than a thousand years old, and many of them are precious spirit herbs that Lu Ping has never heard of. The more than 700 spiritual herbs used for the test are recorded in the images on the desktop.
As if Lu Ping had found a treasure, this was an important accumulation for the improvement of Lu Ping's alchemy skills. He quickly put away the table and all the spiritual herbs on it, and then the formation that imprisoned Lu Ping's spiritual thoughts was suddenly loosened, and the Spirit Medicine Hall A small teleportation formation suddenly appeared on the ground, as long as Lu Ping activated the formation, he could be teleported to the next test location on this mountain.
Lu Ping resisted the temptation, withdrew from the elixir hall, and hurriedly walked towards the third mountain peak.
This time it went smoothly, Lu Ping didn't encounter any twists and turns along the way, but just reached the third mountain peak next to a cave created by the formation, there were two people facing him holding a pestle and a flame Fan launched an attack on Luping.
Lu Ping's divine sense hadn't been noticed beforehand, and the strength of the two people who rushed over was obviously in the late stage of hemolysis. Although they were caught off guard, Lu Ping would not take the attacks of these two people seriously.
The water curtain Tianhua was quickly aroused by Lu Ping, and formed a light golden water curtain emitting silver light around his body. The medicine pestle hit the water curtain, leaving only waves of vibrations, but the person holding the medicine pestle was killed. Lu Ping's bodyguard retreated one after another in shock.
Another flame fan slammed, and a wave of fire surged out from the fan, quickly enveloping Lu Ping, but there was only a sound of "chi chi", the fire wave came quickly and went out even faster, and the water curtain Tianhua burst into flames. When it rises and shrinks, all the fire waves are extinguished.
Only then did Lu Ping see clearly that there were not two people in front of him, but two puppets.
The two puppets missed a hit, but retreated to the side of the cave with their hands tied, and did not move again.
Lu Ping looked at these two puppets with some surprise. Could it be that these are the medicine boy and fire boy that alchemists often use
The alchemy process is delicate and cumbersome, time-consuming, and even an alchemist is troublesome. There are some steps, such as gathering and selecting spirit herbs, pounding and breaking medicine, taking care of the fire in the alchemy furnace, etc., and the alchemist will Let these boys do it, and most of these boys are alchemy apprentices. If they want to become alchemists, this is a training process they must go through.
However, some alchemists are withdrawn and do not want to be in contact with people, and do not want to waste time with these trivial matters, so they have objects such as puppet boys. The puppets that do these tedious and delicate tasks may not have high combat effectiveness themselves, but they are difficult to make. But huge, extremely rare.
This cave is obviously the furnishings of an alchemy room, but the alchemy furnace in it has disappeared. The surrounding spiritual grass cabinets, pill boxes, etc. are also empty. On the side where the alchemy furnace is placed, a futon is placed. Jade Jane.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand to take a picture, and what was recorded in it was the refining method of Zhan Dan.
Lu Ping shattered the futon, and inside were dozens of well-preserved spiritual grasses and a jade box.
Lu Ping did not use these spiritual herbs to refine war pills, but took out a pale golden pill from the storage ring, then tore off the seal on the surface of the jade box, and opened the jade box.
An emerald green pill rose into the sky, and then suddenly swelled. A rattan net suddenly appeared above Lu Ping, covering Lu Ping underneath.
Lu Ping unhurriedly crushed the pale golden elixir, and a silvery golden mask surrounded Lu Ping, firmly pressing the compression of the rattan net to the outside, and then the mask got bigger and bigger, and finally the The rattan net was swollen and split.
Lu Ping smiled "hehe", put away the spirit grass in the futon under his feet, communicated with the two puppets with his spiritual thoughts, stretched out his hand and popped two drops of blood into the eyes of the two puppets, and then handed the two puppets dozens of mid-grade The spirit stones, the two puppets swallowed the spirit stones one by one, and the originally stiff limbs suddenly became flexible.
Lu Ping directed the two puppet boys to get used to it for a while, and then took a closer look at the pestle and flame fan in their hands.
The medicine pounding pestle is just a high-level magic weapon. When pounding medicine, although it has a certain effect on stimulating the properties of spirit herbs and elixir, it is not too obvious. Lu Ping directly threw this high-level magic weapon After arriving at the storage ring, he put the magic weapon pounding pestle obtained from Seven Star Heaven into the hands of the medicine pounding puppet. The most important thing about this magic weapon is its ability to stimulate the medicinal nature of spirit herbs, just because Lu Ping didn't have great power before. Now that Lu Ping has the Golden Scale Sword in his hands, and the natal Yuanchen Formation, this magic weapon has returned to its proper use.
The flame fan in the hands of the fire puppet is a top-level magic weapon. The biggest function of this magic weapon is that it can seal the fire in it. It can be used to control the fire when refining alchemy, and it can also be used as a means of fighting against enemies.
Lu Ping looked at the sealed tinder above, it was just a mid-level tinder, Lu Ping sealed all the scarlet ibis fire and the few tinders he had collected in the cave, but the black prison poisonous fire Lu Ping had other uses However, the seal was wasted in this ordinary flame fan.
After a total of five fire seeds were sealed in it, the originally withered and yellow fan surface was suddenly stained with a layer of crimson. Lu Ping sacrificed the flame fan for a while, and with the accumulation of Lu Ping's mana, the flame fan became sparkling. However, this fan did not match Lu Ping's cultivation method after all. After thinking about it, Lu Ping still stuffed the flame fan into the hands of the burning boy.
Then Lu Ping put the two puppets away, and left the cave without looking back.
When Lu Ping reached the fourth mountain peak, the clothes on his body were scratched in several places, the golden inner armor inside was also damaged in several places, and there were still several blood scabs on his body. Hanging color is not only these few places.
Obviously, Lu Ping encountered a space collapse again on the way here. A day and a half has passed, and the cave has become more and more unstable.
The test site of the fourth mountain was surrounded by a mask that was very different from the formation. Lu Ping searched for a long time and still couldn't get in. Seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, Lu Ping became cruel and sacrificed Shui Youjian. Split on the top of the mask.
The light mask flickered, and it seemed a bit dim. Lu Ping saw that there was a door, and simply sprinkled more than three hundred psychic sword lights, and performed the true essence and one energy sword formula, and a nine-foot-long sword energy fiercely struck the light. On the cover, the light cover shook a few times, and finally shattered.
A jade slip flew out, and Lu Ping held it in his hand, but when he entered the place covered by the light mask, he saw a road leading directly to the top of the mountain.
This is the end
This time the test was actually so simple, and the only harvest was this jade slip. Lu Ping, who was a little depressed, checked this jade slip, and then smiled with some satisfaction.
