Chapter 127

Longevity Peak! Inside the pill-refining chamber!

Wang Ping looked at the five Qi Condensation-stage Yuan-Increasing Pills in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and with the Qingdi Changsheng Gong, his pill-refining threshold was lowered considerably!

After obtaining the Yuan-Increasing Pill formula from Bai Lao, he had no time to study it; after his cave abode was completed, he immediately began secluded study of this formula!

For this, Wang Ping declined all social engagements, and his seclusion lasted three months.

And the result is these five pure, top-grade Yuan-Increasing Pills in his hand; Wang Ping felt that if he had taken such pills initially, his cultivation speed would likely have increased again!

After three months of research, Wang Ping has thoroughly mastered the formula for the Yuan-Increasing Pill!

In this formula, the other spiritual medicines are merely commonplace; only the chief ingredient, Gathering Yuan Herb, is relatively rare.

The efficacy of the Yuan-Increasing Pill mainly comes from the Gathering Yuan Herb!

The Gathering Yuan Herb used for Qi Condensation stage is only five hundred years old; according to Wang Ping's estimate, to refine a Yuan-Increasing Pill usable by Foundation Establishment stage, the Gathering Yuan Herb must be at least twenty-five hundred years old, and the other medicinal herbs also need increased age.

Thinking this, Wang Ping exited the pill-refining chamber and came to a spiritual herb cultivation plot he had separately opened up inside.

This is the place specially opened by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion for cultivating spiritual herbs.

In one mu of spiritual field, he planted five stalks of Gathering Yuan Herb over five hundred years old purchased from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

These three stalks of Gathering Yuan Herb were watered with the spiritual water he brought from the Xiao Family Pond, plus the secret technique 'Spring Wind Rain Technique' from the Qingdi Changsheng Gong, combined together.

In just three months, it has grown three hundred years of medicinal age.

It is growing at an almost rate of one hundred years per month!

At this rate, in two years he will have five stalks of Gathering Yuan Herb each twenty-five hundred years old.

Leaving the spiritual herb cultivation plot, Wang Ping came to a small cave abode specially opened for the Heavenly Flying Soul-devouring Butterfly.

In the juvenile stage, the Soul-devouring Butterfly's power is still too weak; if they enter the growth stage, they can inflict damage on the souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Staring at the Soul-devouring Butterfly's white cocoon quietly lying on the jade plate, Wang Ping flicked his finger; a drop of Spirit Insect Liquid rose from the puppet's hand nearby, traced a beautiful arc in the air, and precisely fell onto the white cocoon!

The white cocoon spun by the Soul-devouring Butterfly quickly absorbs the Spirit Insect Liquid; in the span of three breaths, a drop is completely absorbed.

Wang Ping nodded; the Soul-devouring Butterfly's condition is good, and he awaits the moment it breaks out of its cocoon!

Besides the Soul-devouring Butterfly, White Snow is also about to enter the growth stage; during this period it is obviously very drowsy, just like now, having slept since three days ago and still not awakened.

Three months' time, it will have finished all miscellaneous affairs; only then can he calmly refine the Reversing Heaven Seal and Diamond Pestle!

Wang Ping's figure flickered slightly, disappearing directly from the cave abode; when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the summit of Longevity Peak.

Now Longevity Peak is not just him alone; at the mountain's base there are many spiritual farmers, junior Qi Condensation cultivators—these are ordinary people from the vicinity of Cloud Net Mountain, as well as cultivators sent by weak Qi Condensation clans!

Nowadays, Longevity Peak is not just him alone; at the mountain's base, there are many spirit farmers and early-stage Qi Refining cultivators—these are all mortals from near Cloud Net Mountain, as well as cultivators sent by weak Qi Refining families!

Regarding these, Wang Ping neither approved nor objected; aside from issuing an order that they cannot enter above the mountainside, he did not impose any other restrictions!

Those mortals able to live here are undoubtedly fortunate; basically, barring accidents, each can live to a hundred years.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is abundant; over time, their descendants might even produce some children with spiritual roots.

Compared to the other five peaks, Longevity Peak has considerably more mortals.

However, the number of cultivators is much lower; if it weren't for some tasks that must be handled by cultivators, he might not need any cultivators at all.

Withdrawing his gaze from looking down the mountain, Wang Ping turned his sight toward the direction of Heavenly Gang Peak.

Next, he will enter seclusion for a long period; when he reappears, he might be a mid- or even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Therefore, it is still necessary to go and greet Tie Lanshan!

In the turning of his thought, a blue light flashed on Wang Ping's body, and he already appeared in the high sky.

After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Wang Ping landed on Heavenly Gang Peak!

This was still after the cave dwelling was completed; it was his first time coming to Heavenly Gang Peak.

On the mountaintop sits a magnificent and expansive azure-gold hall, located at the summit of Heavenly Gang Peak.

Unlike his Longevity Peak, Heavenly Gang Peak is extremely bustling.

Up and down the peak, one can see many cultivators busily flying up and down.

Wang Ping's arrival drew the attention of many cultivators; after his blue light faded and he landed on the ground, a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator quickly approached and respectfully said:

"Junior greets the Longevity Peak Master!"

Wang Ping nodded, about to speak, when Tie Lanshan's voice already sounded in his ear.

After nodding to that cultivator, Wang Ping strode straight into the hall ahead.

Although the hall appeared grand and imposing from the outside, inside it was extremely empty!

Inside the hall, aside from two chairs, there was nothing else.

"This hall was built according to a palace in the Tie family's ancestral land; it is said that at the family's peak, a Nascent Soul True Lord sat in the primary seat, with twenty-four True Persons arranged in two rows below. That was the Tie family's most glorious moment!"

Wang Ping gazed at the empty hall and said lightly:

"So, you want to reenact the Tie family's utmost glory moment!"

Tie Lanshan walked out from the depths of the hall, unreservedly saying: "Not bad; reviving the family's glory is my lifelong mission!"

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Tie success in fulfilling his lifelong wish!" Wang Ping congratulated with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Tie Lanshan's eyes suddenly flashed with light, staring straight at Wang Ping, he asked with a hint of excitement:

"Fellow Daoist Lan, can you lend me a hand?"

Under Tie Lanshan's earnest gaze, Wang Ping shook his head and said: "I cultivate for longevity; killing is truly not my wish!"

Tie Lanshan's gaze instantly dimmed; he had always held Lan Ming in high regard, the reason being that on the Canglan River, he withstood the Jing family's Nine Yin Arrows, which brought a great shock.

He deeply hoped that Fellow Daoist Wang could help him, but feared his refusal; now, hearing Fellow Daoist Lan Ming's clear refusal, he actually felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

This is also good; if he fails in his revenge, Fellow Daoist Lan will surely preserve a trace of his bloodline for him.

Gazing at Tie Lanshan's dejected appearance, Wang Ping recalled how he had crawled out of the ruins in the market city earlier, his heart softened, and he immediately spoke:

"If one day there is a decisive battle, I will lend you a hand!"

The light that had dimmed in Tie Lanshan's eyes suddenly brightened again, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lan!"

Wang Ping nodded; there are too many things in the world that go against one's wishes, and no one can truly break free from this great vortex of the cultivation world!

Afterwards he said that he would be going into secluded cultivation, and the time might be long, so he came especially to say hello.

Tie Lanshan said with a face full of admiration: "Blue fellow cultivator's aspiration toward the Dao is admirable!"
