Chapter 250 The Great Enemy Arrives
Flying Snow City, Changpingfang Cave.
Li Ping lived a simple life of spiritual practice.
On this day, Shi Yutong came to Li Ping's door, asking him to refine some pills.
Li Ping politely led him to a pavilion to sit down, and at the same time instructed the puppet to serve him spiritual tea.
Shi Yutong seemed a little absent-minded, but after she mentioned the pills she wanted Li Ping to refine,
Li Ping couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Dragon Subduing Pill? Sect Leader Shi actually wants to refine this kind of pill?"
It's no wonder he was surprised, because the Fulong Pill was not created by humans, but is a unique pill belonging to the supernatural.
According to Li Ping, there is a certain degree of reproductive isolation between different people, and even if they intermarry, they cannot have offspring.
The Fulong Pill was a type of elixir created by alchemists to solve this problem.
After marriage between people of different genders, they only need to take this elixir on schedule to successfully give birth to offspring.
However, because the Fulong Pill is of the second-tier superior grade, only high-level cultivators among the supernatural beings are willing to use it. Ordinary people and low-level cultivators among the supernatural beings do not have the financial means to use it.
As for the human race.
Humans can intermarry with other non-human races without this elixir, and the resulting hybrid offspring will possess most of the characteristics of humans.
For example, one must have spiritual roots to cultivate, and spiritual veins are needed to assist in cultivation and breakthroughs in realms.
Shi Yutong herself is a typical example.
……
So when Shi Yutong suddenly came to ask Li Ping for help in refining the Fulong Pill, he was naturally very curious.
Shi Yutong shook her head helplessly: "Yes, I won't hide it from Brother Li. This Fulong Pill was asked for by one of my mother's juniors, and then my mother ordered me to solve this problem for him."
"I see." Li Ping suddenly realized.
He knew that Shi Yutong's mother, Qianxue Zhenren, was a snowman, and her descendants would naturally be snowmen as well.
Qianxue Zhenren was a person of strong emotions. When faced with a junior who came to her for help, she readily agreed to solve his problem.
She didn't even let the junior prepare the spiritual materials needed for alchemy, but instead instructed Shi Yutong to provide them.
Thus, the story of Shi Yutong coming to ask Li Ping to refine elixirs came about today.
Li Ping could sense Shi Yutong's impatience from her tone.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Qianxue had already agreed and didn't want to offend her mother, she would never have come to Li Ping about this matter.
Although she is of mixed race, she grew up in a human city and received human culture and education. She has long considered herself a member of the human race and does not identify with the Yeti bloodline in her body.
Moreover, when she was born, Master Qianxue was already a Core Formation Realm cultivator and had lived for three hundred years. Most of her close relatives from the Snowman clan had already passed away.
Those so-called younger generations who are now approaching her mother are several generations removed from her, and their relationship is very distant. Shi Yutong has never regarded them as family.
Previously, Snowflake City was run by my father, who shielded me from many troublesome matters.
Shi Yutong felt helpless because her mother was too well protected by her father and did not understand human relationships like him. In fact, she was somewhat naive in her actions.
The future of Flying Snow City belongs to her, and she doesn't want her mother to waste her own resources on those so-called descendants.
Furthermore, he did not want the Snowman to regard Snow City as his own backyard because of his mother.
After she finished refining the Dragon-Subduing Pill, she planned to have a good talk with her mother.
Li Ping was unaware of what Shi Yutong was thinking; otherwise, he would have wholeheartedly agreed.
He was deeply troubled by this problem when he was still on Earth.
During the New Year holiday, he only wanted to reunite with his family and take a break, but instead, many relatives he never saw before came to visit, and he could only force a smile.
He often thought that if he didn't have to visit relatives during the New Year and his relatives didn't come to his house, then the New Year would probably be a perfect holiday.
But his parents disagreed with him; they seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the holiday visiting relatives and friends.
……
The Dragon-Subduing Pill was not among Li Ping's extraordinary talents.
After explaining the situation, Shi Yutong provided him with the formula for Fulong Dan.
Before coming to the far north, he rarely refined second-grade high-quality pills. He would probably have failed several times before he got the hang of this new pill formula.
However, during his years in Flying Snow City, he refined quite a few second-grade high-quality pills, and even some third-grade pills.
With so many practice sessions, even without the 100% success rate bonus from the Tree of Inheritance, his success rate in refining the second-grade superior Fulong Pill wouldn't be too low.
This time, they performed exceptionally well, successfully refining the product on the very first batch.
Ten yellow pills, each the size of a pigeon egg, burst out of the alchemy furnace and landed in the jade bottle that Li Ping had prepared beforehand.
Immediately afterward, the jade bottle, under his magical control, flew to Shi Yutong's side: "Sect Leader Shi, I have not failed you!"
After examining the pills, Shi Yutong smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Li."
After seeing Shi Yutong off, Li Ping continued to immerse himself in his arduous cultivation.
After more than a decade of hard work refining pills, he has absorbed enough innate spiritual energy from second-grade high-quality pills, allowing him to break through to the Core Formation stage without any obstacles.
For him, forming his core is currently the most important thing.
……
Somewhere in the far north, near the east.
A black flying boat sped out of the desert and headed towards the depths of the snowy region. A bald figure wearing a green robe stood in it. This bald figure was none other than Lu Kuang, the Grand Elder of the Western Wilderness Spirit Control Sect.
Looking down at the snow-covered land, Lu Kuang's expression was grim.
Lu Kuang had long since become a servant of the Crimson Dragon King of the East Sea, so after messing up the task he was given, he dared not even think about hiding it, doing a perfunctory job, or running away.
After all, his soul contained a restriction planted by the Crimson Dragon King; with just a thought from the other party, he would die instantly.
Since the fragment of the Crimson Dragon King's soul left in the third-tier Crimson Dragon's body had dissipated after killing Xiao Changkong, he also lost the channel to communicate with the Crimson Dragon King.
Therefore, after confirming that the Azure Cloud Secret Realm had been destroyed, he had no choice but to secretly leave the Western Wilderness with the Crimson Dragon.
After carefully traversing the vast ocean, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the coastal waters of the East China Sea for decades, they finally arrived at the deep sea area occupied by the Jiaolong clan and met the Crimson Jiaolong King.
Facing the Crimson Dragon King, he did not hide anything and respectfully recounted everything that had happened.
When he finally mentioned that the "Three Yin God-Slaying Sword" that the Crimson Flood Dragon King wanted had been lost in the spatial turbulence, Old Demon Lu originally thought that the Crimson Flood Dragon King would be furious and punish him severely.
But to his surprise, the Crimson Dragon King was not angry.
After pondering for a moment, it told Old Demon Lu that it had previously sensed the aura of the "Three Yin God-Slaying Sword" in this world through a special secret method. Originally, it thought that Old Demon Lu had succeeded.
Since it wasn't brought out by Old Demon Lu, it's likely that after the destruction of the Qingyun Secret Realm, the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword was sent out of the spatial turbulence by the power of the destroyed space.
While Lu Laomo was taken aback, he was also pleasantly surprised by the unexpected turn of events.
However, the Crimson Dragon King's special secret technique only allowed him to vaguely sense the general area where the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword was located, but he could not pinpoint its exact location.
So in the end, it did not punish Lu Laomo, but instead gave Lu Laomo a task, ordering him to go to the general area it had sensed and investigate it in detail as a human.
Find the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword and bring it back to it!
"I hope you can make amends this time and not disappoint me again. Otherwise, you know what I'm capable of!"
The chilling voice of the Crimson Dragon King still seemed to echo in his ears, and Old Demon Lu, standing on the flying boat, couldn't help but shiver.
He knew this was the last bit of patience the Crimson Dragon King had left; if this mission failed, he would surely die!
"Why!"
Old Demon Lu sighed.
This vast region, stretching from the desert in the south to the icy sea in the north, is the area where the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword, sensed by the Crimson Flood Dragon King, is located.
His next task was to find a way to thoroughly search this vast area and locate the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword!
Old Demon Lu subconsciously reached for the spirit beast pouch at his waist, but it was empty.
Refining a split soul is not only extremely difficult, but also consumes some precious resources. Even with the Crimson Dragon King's abilities, he was only willing to refine one split soul.
The Crimson Dragon King originally ordered one of his descendants to disguise himself as his spirit beast, mainly to use the bloodline connection between himself and his descendant to carry his divided soul.
Now that he no longer needs to carry the divided soul, the third-tier red dragon naturally will no longer follow him, but will return to its clan.
"Fortunately, this far north is much more barren than the Western Wilderness, with very few Core Formation cultivators. Most are only in the early stages of Core Formation. With my strength, even without the Crimson Dragon's assistance, I can still roam freely!" Old Demon Lu silently comforted himself.
He was, after all, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and in a rural place like the far north, he could be considered a top-tier expert.
"According to the records, there are eight major cities in the far north." Old Demon Lu recalled the information he had obtained while disguised in the Great Zhou Dynasty: "There is a major city about 200,000 li away from my main body. Let's go to that city and gather some information first!"
If he were to search the vast area sensed by the Crimson Dragon King all by himself, even if he exhausted his remaining lifespan of less than a hundred years, it wouldn't be enough.
The only solution he could think of was to rely on the power of the human race in the far north to do all this, which was also why the Crimson Dragon ordered him to find the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword instead of going himself.
Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense can only cover a range of 40,000 zhang.
Given the vastness of the far north, it would be an unimaginable undertaking for a Nascent Soul cultivator to measure it with their own divine sense.
Not to mention, the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword may have fallen into the hands of cultivators, hidden in their storage bags, where they are completely undetectable by divine sense.
On the contrary, Lu Laomo, with his status as a high-level cultivator, was able to mobilize the entire human population of the far north to help him search.
The chances of finding the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword have naturally increased significantly.
However, considering the special nature of the Three Yin God-Slaying Sword, the old demon Lu dared not openly offer a bounty.
He was still trying to figure out how to subtly utilize the power of the humans in the far north.
Several days later, Old Demon Lu appeared in front of Red Maple City, one of the eight major cities in the far north.
