Lu Ping returned from the Lingcang Pavilion with more than a dozen spirit stones and eight blood purifying pills in his hand. Spirit stones can assist in cultivation and are hard currency, while blood purifying pills are pills that purify the blood of true spirits and increase cultivation progress.

Lu Ping, as a disciple of the True Spirit Academy, is strictly a group between the outer disciples of the True Spirit Sect and the inner sect. The True Spirit Sect cultivated them from childhood to adulthood for free, unlike the outer disciples, who needed to support themselves, just to cultivate the reserve force of the True Spirit Sect. If you can't reach the ninth layer of blood refining and building the foundation within fifteen years, you will be a disciple of the outer sect, and while supporting yourself, you will also have to serve the sect.

The True Spirit Courtyard is counted once every five years, with a total of third-level disciples, Lu Ping has been in the Courtyard for nearly ten years, and is a second-level disciple, and the minimum standard for second-level disciples is the fourth layer of blood refining, if he cannot reach the sixth layer of blood refining in the tenth year of assessment, he will lose his third-level disciple qualification and will be an outer disciple.

When the second-level disciples refine the fourth layer of blood, they have the benefits of two spirit stones per month, the fifth layer adds a blood purification pill, the sixth layer adds two spirit stones, and the seventh layer is a watershed in the blood refining period, and it is difficult to break through, and once it breaks through, it will step into the late stage of blood refining, and the skill will be greatly improved, and the benefits will also rise to six spirit stones and three blood purification pills, which is twice as high as the sixth layer of blood refining.

The sect also has a reward of ten spirit stones for disciples who break through to the late stage of blood refining, and double the reward for disciples who break through to the late stage of blood refining before the age of eighteen, it is said that because disciples who break through to the late stage of blood refining before the age of eighteen have a greater chance of being in the stage of blood dissolution.

Lu Ping didn't know if the rumors were true, he only knew that the blood refining reached the hemolysis period, one in a hundred, it was a dragon gate, jumped over, ascended to the sky in one step, became an official disciple of the inner door of the True Spirit Sect, learned the formal exercises of the True Spirit Sect, and became an existence that the outer disciples looked up to.

There are thousands of disciples in the True Spirit Academy, and there are about 100 people who reach the ninth layer of blood refining every year, but there are very few people who have succeeded in building the foundation.

Lu Ping exchanged the ten spirit stones for five blood purification pills, and Lu Ping had sixteen spirit stones and eight blood purification pills. In the past, Lu Ping always used up early in his cultivation, and this time, in addition to this month's basic cultivation, there are still some left.

It's time to make some preparations for the second-level competition, Lu Ping thought.

Every big competition is a process of competing for cultivation resources, not only to compete for the sect's rewards for individuals, but also to compete for the power of resource distribution in the square team.

This is also the reason why Liu Xianchang was quite happy to see Lu Ping's cultivation after breaking through to the seventh layer. The top ten disciples of their respective teams participate in the Great Competition, which is only a basic condition, and at the same time, disciples who have cultivated to the seventh level can participate in the Great Competition, regardless of their ranking.

The strong team has more than ten people who have reached the late stage of Qi training!

Lu Ping returned to the cottage of the annex, swallowed a blood purifying pill as usual, held a spirit stone in his hand, and began to cultivate, after a period of time, the spirit stone turned into powder, and the medicinal power of the blood purifying pill had also been refined.

Lu Ping was not in a hurry to improve his cultivation, but started from the first layer of blood refining, and went all the way to the seventh layer, passing the foundation well, and firmly consolidating his foundation, Lu Ping did this every time he made a breakthrough in cultivation, and the foundation was naturally extremely solid.

Even so, Lu Ping still felt that his cultivation had increased significantly. Lu Ping took a breath of turbidity, this is a normal situation where cultivation has just broken through, and it will become more and more difficult in the future, each layer in the later stage of blood refining is a hurdle, and it is normal to not break through for three or five years.

Lu Ping opened the wooden box on the table, took out a piece of rune paper from it, unfolded it and put it on the table, then took out a section of graphite and some strange wooden tools, kept comparing on the rune paper, and drew it lightly on the rune paper with graphite according to the rune pattern on the "Elementary Appendix Mastery".

It is difficult to draw talismans, and it is even more difficult for monks in the blood refining period to draw talismans, because the strokes of talismans are complicated, and there can be no mistakes or omissions, otherwise even if the painting is successful, the power will be greatly reduced, and Lu Ping used these tools to solve this problem.

"Hehe, this is also a little advantage of crossing by yourself. Lu Ping thought with a smile.

Lu Ping knew that these were just cleverness, after reaching the hemolysis period, the monk extended his divine sense, and these tools would become waste, and the monk with divine consciousness would draw these talismans more standardized than using these tools.

Lu Ping took out the brush used to draw talismans, which was made of the hair on the tail of a first-level top-level demon beast, and there was a simple spirit gathering array on the barrel, which could better transmit spiritual power to the brush.

Lu Ping dipped it in the spiritual ink made of spiritual spring water, fine cinnabar and the blood of the first-class demon beast earth spirit turtle, and slowly injected the blood and spiritual power into the pen, and slowly drew it according to the traces of the talisman drawn before.

With the completion of the last stroke, Lu Ping let out a long breath of relief, and succeeded once! It seems that the growth of cultivation also has an impact on the success rate of making talismans.

Feeling the spiritual power contained in the talisman and the power it emanated, Lu Ping was surprised and delighted in his heart, it was actually a top-level quality, which was the limit that a blood refining stage cultivator could reach.

Lu Ping thought about it, pricked his finger, and dropped a drop of essence blood on the talisman, and the dark red talisman suddenly turned bright red, as if it was about to rush out of the talisman paper.

This is the method that Lu Ping learned in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the other courtyard, which can enhance the power of the two layers of the talisman, but the loss of essence and blood is at the cost of cultivation, fortunately, the blood refining monks are based on the bloodline, and all the cultivation is in the bloodline, and the essence blood is naturally more than other monks, and the loss is naturally much smaller, if it weren't for the top-level talisman made by Lu Ping this time, he would not be willing to give up this drop of essence blood.

Lu Ping meditated and recovered the lost qi and blood spiritual power, and made persistent efforts to make nine more talismans, but unfortunately there was no top-level talisman again, just two high-grade blood refining talismans, two medium-grade and three low-grade talismans, and the remaining two were made mistakes in the production and were scrapped.

This kind of success rate, if other blood cultivation stage cultivators knew about it, they were afraid that they would have to exclaim, such a success rate was already amazing.

Lu Ping thought about it, dripped the two high-grade talismans with essence blood to make blood talismans, and then put the three blood talismans in another box, and there were also several blood talismans in this box, and they were all high-grade blood refining talismans.

The rest of the middle and lower grade talismans, Lu Ping put them in a package, which contained dozens of middle and lower grade talismans, and this package was the result of Lu Ping's labor for a month.

Although the monks of the other academy can enjoy the benefits of the sect for free, it is far from enough in cultivation, so the monks of the other academy also have their own ways to earn spirit stones, and the talisman is Lu Ping's way.

Lu Ping started to make talismans every three days from the fourth layer of blood refining, and he did not stop for several years, with continuous practice and some small skills, he passed the initial stage of indemnifying spirit stones, and gradually turned losses into profits, accumulating cultivation resources for himself, otherwise with Lu Ping's excellent cultivation qualifications, how could he join the ranks of the top monks of other courtyards.
