The ground suddenly burst open, and then cracked several feet wide, and looking down from the crack, it was a bizarre scene.
The vegetation on the ground became a mess, the hillside in the distance had already collapsed, forming a large pit of sunken earth, the towering tree suddenly broke off without warning, and the smooth section almost flashed with luster.
Lu Ping looked at this scene from a distance in embarrassment, if he hadn't reacted quickly with his divine thoughts just now, he would have left this area first, I am afraid that he would have to follow in the footsteps of those towering trees, even so, Xiangyun Dou, who had followed Lu Ping for many years, was twisted into four clouds by the crack extending behind him at the last moment, and was immediately swallowed in.
Time had passed almost a day, and the eight ruined grotto-heavens that had been barely maintained had become more and more unstable due to the entry of Lu Ping and others, just now Lu Ping had encountered such a space collapse, and now in Lu Ping's divine thoughts, the area in front of him was full of horizontal and vertical space cracks, like a huge mouth that was difficult to fill, waiting for the prey that had passed.
In desperation, Lu Ping had to take a long detour and took an extra hour to reach the second peak.
The formation shield of this mountain peak extended directly to the foot of the mountain, there was a small spiritual medicine hall here, Lu Ping entered inside, and suddenly found that his divine thoughts were imprisoned in some way, and everything behind him became disordered in the feelings of divine thoughts.
Lu Ping opened the scroll on one of the tables in the Elixir Hall, only to see hundreds of words written on it, which was the test content handwritten by the alchemy master who left behind the inheritance.
Lu Ping couldn't help but be a little disappointed, just as he put down the scroll, hundreds of well-preserved spiritual herbs suddenly appeared on the small table in front of him, each of which had different years and types, Lu Ping had to distinguish two-thirds of the spiritual grass clearly within the time of a stick of incense, without using divine consciousness or divine thoughts.
There are countless strange flowers and plants in the cultivation world, no alchemist dares to say that he can know them all, this test seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, and even if he passes the test, all Lu Ping can get is only the hundreds of spiritual herbs in front of him, so disappointment is inevitable.
Every time the year and name of a medicinal material are identified, the seal that imprisons this spiritual grass will be automatically released, which is considered a reward for Lu Ping.
"Jinling flower, a five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass; Flying frost leaves, five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass; This, could it be Luo Jia Grass or a thousand-year-old spiritual grass! ……」
Lu Ping identified them one by one, and then found that among these hundreds of spiritual grasses, the five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass accounted for half, and the rest were hundred-year-old spiritual grasses, and there were more than a hundred thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, and even Lu Ping found three three-thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, but unfortunately only recognized one of them, and the remaining two were not recognized.
When a stick of incense was about to burn, Lu Ping finally selected all the spiritual grasses he knew, and Lu Ping only recognized about 500 of the more than 700 spiritual herbs of all kinds, which was equivalent to reaching two-thirds of the standard.
Less than half of the two hundred spiritual grasses that had not yet been recognized by Lu Ping were thousands of years old, and even five of them were even three thousand years old, which made Lu Ping very annoyed.
At this moment, the seal on the surface of the remaining two hundred or so spiritual herbs was actually lifted, and in Lu Ping's surprised gaze, the table top of this ordinary table suddenly became as smooth as a mirror, with pictures of spiritual herbs flashing on it, and below there were the names, medicinal ages, medicinal values, etc. of these spiritual herbs, most of the recorded spiritual herbs were more than a thousand years old, many of them were cherished spiritual herbs that Lu Ping had never heard of, and the more than seven hundred spiritual herbs used for testing were recorded in the images on the table.
He quickly put away all the spiritual herbs on this table and the spiritual grass on it, and then the formation that imprisoned Lu Ping's divine thoughts suddenly loosened, and a small teleportation array suddenly appeared on the ground of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, as long as Lu Ping activated the formation, he could teleport to the next test place on this mountain peak.
Lu Ping endured the temptation, withdrew from the Elixir Hall, and hurriedly walked towards the third mountain.
This time it went smoothly, Lu Ping didn't encounter any more twists and turns along the way, but just reached the third mountain and was next to a cave opened up by the formation, and two people attacked Lu Ping with a pestle and a flame fan in front of him.
Lu Ping's divine thoughts didn't even notice it in advance, and the strength of the two people who rushed over was obviously in the late stage of hemolysis, although they were caught off guard, but Lu Ping would not take the attack of these two in his eyes.
The water curtain Tianhua was quickly stimulated by Lu Ping, forming a light golden water curtain emitting silver light outside his body, and the pounding pestle hit the water curtain on the water curtain, leaving only bursts of shocking ripples, but the person holding the pounding pestle was shaken back by Lu Ping's protective qi and retreated one after another.
Another flame fan fanned, and a wave of fire surged out of the flame fan, quickly wrapping Lu Ping, but only heard a "snort" sound, the fire wave came quickly, extinguished faster, and as soon as the water curtain Tianhua rose and contracted, the fire wave was all 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 they retreated to the side of the cave and stopped moving.
Lu Ping looked at these two puppets with some surprise, could it be that these were the medicine pounding boys and fire boys that the pill masters often used?
There are some steps, such as selecting spiritual herbs, pounding medicines, taking care of the fire of the alchemy furnace and other less important things, the alchemy master will hand it over to these boys to do, and these boys are mostly some alchemy apprentices, if they want to become alchemy masters, this is a training process they must go through.
However, some alchemy masters have a withdrawn personality and do not want to contact people, and they do not want these trivial and choreous matters to delay time, so they have objects such as puppet boys, and the puppets who do these tedious and delicate tasks may not have high combat effectiveness, but they are extremely difficult to make, extremely rare.
This cave was obviously the furnishings of an alchemy room, but the alchemy furnace in it was missing, and the surrounding spiritual herb cabinets, elixir boxes, etc. were also empty.
Lu Ping stretched out his hand to check, and it recorded the refinement method of the battle pill.
Lu Ping shattered the futon, which contained dozens of well-preserved spiritual herbs and a jade box.
Lu Ping did not use these spiritual herbs to refine the battle pill again, but took out a light golden elixir from the storage ring, and then tore open the seal on the surface of the jade box and opened the jade box.
An emerald green pill pill soared into the air, and then suddenly swelled, a rattan net suddenly appeared in the sky above Lu Ping, covering Lu Ping below, and the Goto net tightened more and more, as if it was about to strangle Lu Ping for life.
Lu Ping unhurriedly crushed the pale golden elixir, and a silver-golden light shield surrounded Lu Ping in it, pressing the compression of the rattan net to the outside, and then the light mask became bigger and bigger, and finally the rattan net was supported and cracked.
Lu Ping smiled "hehe", put away the spiritual grass in the futon under his feet, and then communicated with the two puppets with his divine thoughts, stretched out his hand and popped out two drops of blood into the eyes of the two puppet boys, and then handed the two puppets dozens of middle-grade spirit stones, and the two puppets swallowed the spirit stones into their bellies one by one, and the originally stiff limbs suddenly became flexible.
Lu Ping commanded the two puppet boys to adapt for a moment, and then took the pestle and flame fan in their hands and looked at them.
The pounding pestle is just a higher-level magic weapon, when pounding the medicine, although it has a certain effect on the spiritual grass and the medicinal stimulation of the elixir, but it is not very obvious, Lu Ping directly threw this higher-level magic weapon into the storage ring, and then put the magic weapon pounding pestle obtained from the Seven Star Heaven in the hand of the pounding puppet, the most important thing about this magic weapon is its ability to stimulate the spirit herbal nature, just because Lu Ping did not have a powerful means of resisting the enemy before, and now Lu Ping has a golden scale sword in his hand, and there is also a natal Yuanchen Great Formation, This magic weapon can be regarded as returning to its serious purpose.
The flame fan in the hand of the fire puppet is a top-level magic weapon, and the biggest function of this magic weapon is to seal the fire in it, which is used to control the fire when refining, and can also be used as a means of fighting against the enemy.
Lu Ping looked at the fire sealed above, it was just a mid-level fire, Lu Ping sealed all the red ibis fire and several fires collected in the grotto-heaven before, but the black hell poison fire Lu Ping had another great use, sealing it in this ordinary flame fan was a waste.
After a total of five tinders were sealed in it, the originally somewhat withered yellow fan suddenly dyed a layer of crimson, Lu Ping refined the flame fan, with Lu Ping's mana, this flame fan became a flash of inspiration, but this fan was not in line with the exercises Lu Ping practiced after all, after thinking about it, Lu Ping still stuffed the flame fan into the hands of the fire boy.
Then Lu Ping put away the two puppets and left the cave without looking back.
When Lu Ping reached the fourth mountain, his clothes were scratched in several places, the golden inner armor inside was also damaged in several places, and there were a few blood scabs on his body.
Obviously, Lu Ping encountered a space collapse again on the way here, a day and a half had passed, and the grotto-heaven had become more and more unstable.
The test place of the fourth mountain was surrounded by a light shield that was very different from the formation, Lu Ping investigated for a long time but still couldn't get in, seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, Lu Ping was ruthless, and the water ghost sword was sacrificed and slashed on top of the light shield.
The light mask shook and looked a little dimer, Lu Ping saw that there was a door, and simply sprinkled out more than three hundred psychic sword lights, and used the true essence one qi sword technique, a nine-foot-long sword qi slashed fiercely on the light mask, the light shield 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 shrouded in light, he saw a road leading straight to the top of the mountain.
Is this the end?
This time the test was actually so simple, and the only gain was this jade slip, and Lu Ping, who was a little depressed, checked this jade slip smoothly, and then smiled with some satisfaction.
