Lu Ping, who returned from the trade fair, threw himself into intense cultivation again.
In this trade fair, although Lu Ping's spirit stones were not spent much, they exchanged a lot of other objects, and the gains were naturally not small.
Especially when he got two bottles of Thick Blood Pills, this was equivalent to the value of forty Essence Blood Pills, not to mention that these twenty Thick Blood Pills could only be taken in twenty days, while the Essence Blood Pills of the same effect took Lu Ping forty days to use up, which meant that Lu Ping's efficiency in cultivating with the Thick Blood Pill would be doubled, and the effect would naturally increase greatly.
In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed, Lu Ping is almost eighteen years old, with the assistance of sufficient spirit stones and elixirs, Lu Ping finally reached the peak of the eighth layer of blood refining, touching the barrier of the ninth layer of blood refining.
In the past six months, the biggest thing is that the True Spirit Sect and the Xuan Ling Sect have finally reached a reconciliation under the adjustment of many sects of the Beihai Alliance.
After investigation, the Xuanling Sect finally figured out the "truth" of this espionage case, because some monks in the Xuanling Sect in the Hemolytic Period supported some scattered cultivation organizations to obtain cultivation resources through "improper" channels.
The True Spirit Sect and others approved the investigation of the Xuanling Sect, but affirmed that the fifteen small islands occupied would be compensated by the True Spirit Sect and the other five factions, and the True Spirit Sect would legalize the fait accompli.
However, the Xuanling Sect, relying on its traditional forces and long-standing relationships, united with most sects of the Beihai Alliance to force the True Spirit Sect to agree to these fifteen islands to "fight to seize the islands".
The so-called "fighting to capture the island" means that the two sides send fifteen disciples of the Hemolytic Period to each other to draw lots to fight, and each fight is based on a small island, and the winning side gets the ownership of the island.
Under strong diplomatic pressure, the True Spirit Sect and other five factions were forced to agree to "fight to seize the island", but True Spirit Island strongly demanded that Xuanqi Island be excluded from the list of "fighting to seize the island", on the grounds that Xuanqi Island has a special geographical location and is the direct contact between the Xuanling Sect and the True Spirit Sect's sphere of influence.
Many sects began to support the True Spirit Sect again this time, allowing them to exercise certain checks and balances on the Xuanling Sect to maintain stability within the alliance.
When the news came, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect were filled with righteous indignation, especially the disciples of the True Spirit Villa who participated in this experience, the island they captured at the cost of the fall of dozens of disciples turned into a situation of re-competition between the two sides, they believed that this was the weakness of the sect and the injustice of the alliance.
Soon, a team leader of another courtyard said regretfully: "Who made our sect weak, so that we have no say in the alliance, and we will be bullied if we fall behind!"
After these words came out, after the induction of people with a heart, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect shared the same hatred and directly aimed the spearhead of hatred at several sects led by the Xuanling Sect, the enthusiasm for cultivation was high, and the progress of cultivation increased significantly, the seventh team added four disciples of the seventh layer of blood refining in the past half year, and the disciples of the eighth layer of blood refining increased by two, Shi Lingling also entered the ninth layer of blood refining for the two, Yao Yong and Du Feng were about to reach the peak of the ninth layer of blood refining, the two of them had the hemolysis pill and had begun to prepare for the hemolysis period.
When everyone thought that the True Spirit Sect had failed in this action to challenge the authority of the Xuanling Sect in the Beihai Alliance, Lu Ping thought that the True Spirit Party had made a successful test to shake the position of the Xuanling Sect.
Although the Xuanling Sect forced the True Spirit Sect 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 Sect's concessions was the occupied Xuanling Sect's island! Moreover, the Xuanling Sect may not be able to get much benefit from this concession, especially Xuanqi Island, which has a small ore vein, was excluded from the list of "fighting to seize the island" and was legally occupied by the True Spirit Sect.
The other sects of the alliance were still very willing to see a Xuanling Sect that was checked and balanced, rather than a Xuanling Sect that was dominant by one family.
Sure enough, another month passed, and the results of the "Fighting to Seize the Island" came out under the supervision of many sects of the Beihai Alliance, fourteen fights, the True Spirit Sect won nine times, and even went to Xuanqi Island.
In Lu Ping's opinion, although this fight was small-scale, it also reflected a problem from the side: that is, the strength of the True Spirit Sect's blood-dissolving period monks was generally higher than that of the Xuanling Sect, although this was only a competition of a dozen people, but it couldn't help but make people come to 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 conclusion from the dazzling game between the two sides in the Beihai Alliance this time, but it was just his own opinion, Lu Ping smiled self-deprecatingly, these things were naturally planned by those ancestors of this sect, and it was still important for him to break through his cultivation at the moment.
In the training room, Lu Ping sat there quietly with a blood pill.
Lu Ping has reached the peak of the eighth layer for almost a month, although the ninth layer of blood refining is right in front of him, but Lu Ping just failed to pierce this layer of window paper.
Lu Ping decided to try it with a muddy blood pill.
Although Lu Ping's cultivation was far deeper than that of the monks of the same rank, there was still some unnecessary waste in using the Blood Pill, and this time he couldn't care about breaking through to the ninth floor.
Lu Ping put the Blood-Turbidity Pill into his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, turned into a powerful spiritual power in his abdomen, and then was absorbed by the bloodline, with Lu Ping's continuous operation of the "Hemolysis Spiritual Skill" practice, completely integrated into the bloodline, the originally bright red blood suddenly became a little brighter, the beating of the heart became slower but stronger, the rushing blood slowly widened the blood vessels in the body under the dual action of the heart and spiritual power, and at the same time, many places in the body where the blood veins were not connected were also dredged, and the strong spiritual power penetrated deep into all parts of the body under the drive of the blood, transforming Lu Ping's body into stronger, and some impurities that could not be eliminated in the body before were excluded from the body.
Nine layers of blood refinement!
Lu Ping finally reached it, and there was only one step left before the hemolysis period. Lu Ping looked at the Heavenly Spirit Mountains, the residence of the True Spirit Sect, and said secretly, it seems that he wants to make a plan for himself to speed up his preparations for entering the hemolysis period.
