Chapter 154 Third-Order Poisonous Dragon's Poison Sac

Because it is necessary to refine second-tier beast-feeding pills.

Li Ping had no choice but to temporarily leave the seclusion and go to the market to purchase the medicinal materials needed to refine elixirs.

Because of Miao Rou, he now feels somewhat disgusted with Lingbao Pavilion.

Although the woman ultimately died under his fiery ring, he could not forget the trap she had set for him. Therefore, Li Ping, disguised as a cultivator surnamed Li, bypassed the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and appeared in the Jade Cliff Palace.

Upon seeing the portly Zhuang Yu, Li Ping immediately produced a list of the spiritual herbs he needed. He also inquired whether the shop sold items such as talismans or high-level poisons.

Talismans are powerful weapons in battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the last great battle against the demonic cultivator Liu Wusheng, Li Ping relied on the power of talismans to forcibly kill this late Foundation Establishment cultivator who had many tricks up his sleeve.

As for high-level poisons, those were prepared for the Blood Banner.

The more poisonous substances are refined into this top-grade magical artifact, the more potent the blood-corroding poison emanating from the banner will become.

Under Li Ping's careful training, the Blood-Corroding Poison is now much more powerful than in the last battle, and may be able to directly paralyze a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, rendering them powerless.

To Li Ping's surprise, when he took out the list of the required medicinal herbs...

Zhuang Yu did not rush to instruct his subordinates to fetch the spiritual herbs. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li always buys spiritual herbs and sells finished pills whenever he comes. If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Li must be a high-level alchemist."

Li Ping remained unmoved upon hearing Zhuang Yu's words.

Since he was selling the pills he had refined, he had naturally been prepared for his identity as a second-tier alchemist to be exposed.

So what if he's been exposed? Anyway, what he's showing now isn't his true self or his real identity.

If you have something to say, go find Li Jingyu. It has nothing to do with me, Li Ping.

However, he still had to maintain appearances, so he showed his displeasure: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, whether I am a high-level alchemist or not seems irrelevant to this transaction. You should just take out the spiritual herbs I need."

Seeing that Li Ping seemed quite displeased with his probing, Zhuang Yu quickly slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "I was being presumptuous. As for the elixir, Fellow Daoist Li, please don't worry. I have already instructed the stewards of the pavilion to fetch it for you."

He changed the subject and said, "To be honest, the reason I asked about your alchemy skills, Fellow Daoist Li, is because I have an opportunity to bestow upon you, not because I intend to find out your true abilities."

"Oh... an opportunity? Fellow Daoist Zhuang, why don't you tell me about it?" Li Ping revealed an expression of great interest.

The Fire Ring that helped him annihilate the demonic cultivator came from this fellow Daoist Zhuang in front of him. If he had a similar opportunity, he certainly wouldn't want to miss it as long as the price was reasonable.

Zhuang Yu smiled slightly: "A fellow Daoist in our shop wishes to commission a high-level alchemist to refine pills. I wonder what the chances are of Fellow Daoist Li refining a high-grade second-tier pill?"

"You want me to refine pills?" Li Ping was very disappointed; he thought it was something else entirely.

He was busy cultivating and had no shortage of spirit stones, but he had no interest in refining pills for others for some reward.

Besides, how much reward can one get for refining a batch of pills?

Thinking of this, he decisively shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Zhuang, I have no intention of refining pills for others. Fellow Daoist Zhuang, please find someone more capable."

Zhuang Yu was not disappointed upon hearing this; instead, she showed a look of delight.

The Fellow Daoist Li in front of him did not mention his success, but directly refused him on the grounds that he was unwilling to refine pills for others. Clearly, he was confident in refining second-grade high-quality pills.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. How about I ask the fellow Daoist who needs alchemy to come over for a private discussion with you?" Zhuang Yu said eagerly. "That fellow Daoist comes from a noble family and has a powerful background. He will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of compensation."

Li Ping glanced at him and said in a dismissive tone, "Oh? Does he think he can give me a talisman?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Yu chuckled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Li is joking. Talismans are of great use to Foundation Establishment cultivators, so of course they can't be offered as payment. However, I can guarantee that I won't disappoint you, and if you're not satisfied with the payment, you can simply refuse."

Having said that, Li Ping didn't say anything more, and simply waited for the spiritual herbs he needed and the cultivator who needed to refine pills to arrive.

Soon, the spiritual herbs he needed to refine the second-tier beast-feeding pills were delivered.

Not long after, just as he was inspecting the medicinal herbs on the table, a handsome man dressed in a black robe with a lazy smile on his face pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhuang Yu quickly stood up to greet him: "Junior Brother Huang, you've arrived! Come, come...please have a seat."

Judging from their attitude, they were extremely enthusiastic.

Li Ping couldn't help but guess that this lazy man must have an extremely unusual status and background to be able to make Zhuang Yu, a fellow cultivator of the same level, so enthusiastic.

Thinking of this, Li Ping did not get up, but sat in the chair and watched him sit down.

After the three sat down, Zhuang Yu introduced Li Ping: "Fellow Daoist Li, the one who wants you to refine pills is Junior Brother Huang. Junior Brother Huang is not only exceptionally talented, but also a descendant of the sect's Grand Elder. (A good name is hard to come up with. Click to read the masterpiece 'Longevity Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation'!")

After introducing Junior Brother Huang, he introduced Li Ping to him: "Junior Brother Huang, this is Fellow Daoist Li. He is a high-level alchemist, capable of fulfilling your request."

Upon hearing this, the lazy man's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "My name is Huang Yan. I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to refine something for me..."

"Wait a minute." Li Ping interrupted him directly, saying bluntly, "I never agreed to refine pills for you."

Zhuang Yu quickly gave Huang Yan a wink, and Huang Yan suddenly realized what was going on. He then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please rest assured, as long as you can help me refine the pill, the reward is negotiable."

Li Ping simply nodded without saying anything, and put all the medicinal herbs that he had checked and found to be safe into his storage bag.

Huang Yan was not offended by Li Ping's attitude. After all, it was normal for a high-level alchemist to be arrogant.

Normally, when he asks someone in the sect to refine pills, even if he is a descendant of the Core Formation stage, those pill refining masters still don't give him a good look.

He spoke privately with Zhuang Yu for a while before gritting his teeth and taking out a jade box from his storage bag, placing it on the table: "I know that Fellow Daoist Li has been collecting all kinds of poisons. This jade box contains the venom sac of a third-tier poisonous dragon. If you can refine a pill for me, I am willing to transfer this venom sac to you at a low price."

If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation method was somewhat special and required the use of special elixirs to achieve breakthroughs and advancements, he wouldn't have taken out this item.

In addition, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to appear immediately when Dai Sangyu returned from her travels.

Huang Yan had already returned to his sect and asked the alchemy master there to help, so he wouldn't cause any trouble in the Immortal City.

"The venom sac of a third-tier poisonous dragon?" Li Ping's face showed surprise.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, may I examine you?"

Huang Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Li, please."

Soon, after checking, Li Ping found that, just as Huang Yan had said, the jade box contained a venom sac of a third-tier poisonous dragon.

"If this poison sac could be refined into the Blood Banner, then the power of the Blood Banner would be..."

All I can say is that the other party has a very good eye for people; he took the job.

With that in mind, Li Ping no longer hesitated and directly asked, "Fellow Daoist Huang, what kind of pill do you wish to refine?"

Hearing that Li Ping had agreed to refine the pill, Huang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "I want to refine a second-grade high-quality pill called the 'Heart-Soothing Pill.' Are you confident in your ability to refine it?"

"Calming Pill".

Li Ping quickly searched his mind and soon discovered that the Heart-Soothing Pill was recorded in Xu Pingsheng's lineage. It was a pill used to ward off evil spirits and purify the mind during cultivation.

For these kinds of pills included in the Tree of Inheritance, Li Ping's success rate in refining them is 100%.

However, wanting to be on the safe side, he still said calmly, "I have no problem refining second-grade high-quality pills, but as Fellow Daoist Huang should know, the success rate of pill refining is affected by various factors, and I cannot guarantee success 100%."

Huang Yan looked at Li Ping and said solemnly, "I have two sets of materials here. As long as you can refine a batch of finished pills for me, the poison sac of the third-order poisonous dragon will belong to you."

Li Ping nodded: "Alright, in that case, please arrange a place for me to refine pills, Fellow Daoist Zhuang. I will refine pills for Fellow Daoist Huang now!"

……

Li Ping walked out of the Jade Cliff Palace with a cheerful smile.

Huang Yan's third-tier poisonous dragon's venom sac was stored in his storage bag.

Not long ago, he successfully refined two batches of calming pills for Huang Yan.

As agreed, Huang Yan sold the third-tier poisonous dragon's venom sac to him for the low price of 2,700 spirit stones.

The price of a normal Tier 3 material is often over 5,000 spirit stones, and generally, materials that reach Tier 3 or above cannot be bought with spirit stones at all.

Li Ping really got a great deal by buying the venom sac of the third-tier venomous dragon at this price.

"This Huang Yan is a treasure! I should try to communicate with him more in the future," Li Ping thought to himself.

His generosity in readily offering a third-tier venomous dragon's venom sac as payment for alchemy suggests that Huang Yan possesses even more valuable items.

This was all due to his good fortune!

The last person Li Ping had ever met with such wealth was Xiao Yunzhi, who possessed the Heavenly Spirit Root, with whom he had exchanged ideas at Jixia Academy.

Xiao Yunzhi was far wealthier than Huang Yan, making her a true rich woman.

Originally, when he was refining the pills, he planned to keep a secret and deliberately ruin one of the ingredients.

It was precisely because he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Huang Yan that he finally succeeded in refining two batches of pills for him.

In this way, the other party might ask him for help again when they need to refine pills in the future.

Li Ping walked straight into an empty alley. When he came out, the alchemist Li Jingyu had disappeared, replaced by the talisman maker Li Ping.

He glanced around briefly before slowly walking towards Immortal Peach Mountain.
