Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ninth Floor
Lu Ping, who had returned from the trade fair, threw himself into intense cultivation again.
In this trade fair, although Lu Ping's spirit stones were not spent, other items were exchanged a lot, and the harvest was naturally not small.
Especially to get two bottles of Thick Blood Pill, this is equivalent to the value of forty Essence Blood Pills, not to mention that these twenty Thick Blood Pills can be taken in only twenty days, while the Essence Blood Pill of the same strength takes Lu Ping forty days to use up, which means that Lu Ping's cultivation efficiency with the Thick Blood Pill will be doubled, and the effect will naturally increase greatly.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed, Lu Ping was almost eighteen years old, and with the assistance of sufficient spirit stones and pills, Lu Ping had finally reached the peak of the eighth layer of blood refining, and touched the barrier of the ninth layer of blood refining.
In the past six months, the biggest thing is that the True Spirit Sect and the Xuanling Sect have finally reconciled under the mediation of many sects in the North Sea Alliance.
After investigation, the Xuanling Sect finally figured out the "truth" of this espionage case, that some Xuanling Sect monks in the Hemolysis Period supported some scattered cultivation organizations to obtain cultivation resources through "improper" ways because of the lack of cultivation resources, for this reason, the Xuanling Sect said that due to its own mismanagement, it deeply regretted the losses caused by the five sects including the True Soul Sect, and the Xuanling Sect had imprisoned several "behind-the-scenes" main messengers for cultivation, worked as miscellaneous servants for 30 years, and canceled the punishment decision of the inner disciples.
The True Soul Sect and others agreed with the investigation of the Xuan Ling Sect, but affirmed that the fifteen small islands occupied would be used as compensation for the True Spirit Sect and the other five factions, and the True Spirit Sect would legitimize the fait accompli.
However, the Xuanling Sect relied on its traditional forces and long-term operating network to unite with most of the sects of the North Sea Alliance to force the True Soul Sect to agree to the "fighting method to seize the islands" on these fifteen islands.
The so-called "fighting method to seize the island" is that the two sides send fifteen disciples of the hemolysis period to each other to draw lots to fight, and each battle is based on a small island as a bet, and the winning side gets the ownership of the island.
Under strong diplomatic pressure, the five factions including the True Spirit Sect were forced to agree to "Fighting the Law to seize the island", but the True Spirit Island strongly requested that Xuanqi Island be excluded from the list of "Fighting the Law to seize the island", on the grounds that Xuanqi Island has a special geographical location and is the direct contact between the sphere of influence of the Xuanling Sect and the True Soul Sect, and the strength of the True Soul Sect is far inferior to that of the Xuanling Sect, and it needs to strengthen its own defense in depth.
This time, many sects began to support the True Spirit Sect again, so that they could exercise certain checks and balances on the Xuanling Sect in order to maintain stability within the alliance.
When the news came, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect were filled with righteous indignation, especially the disciples of the True Spirit Sect who participated in this training, the island they captured at the cost of the fall of dozens of disciples has become a situation of re-competition between the two sides, they believe that this is the weakness of the sect and the injustice of the alliance.
Soon, an immortal leader who led the team of the other courtyard said "inadvertently" regretfully: "Who let the strength of our sect be low, so that we have no right to speak in the alliance, and we will be bullied if we fall behind!"
After these words came out, after the inducement of people with hearts, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect shared the same hatred and hatred, and directly aimed the spearhead of hatred at several sects led by the Xuanling Sect, the enthusiasm for cultivation was high, and the progress of cultivation increased significantly, and the seventh team had increased four disciples of the seventh layer of blood refining in the past half a year, and the disciples of the eighth layer of blood refining had increased by two, Shi Lingling had also entered the ninth layer of blood refining for the two, Yao Yong and Du Feng were about to reach the peak of the ninth layer of blood refining, and the two had hemolysis pills and had begun to prepare for the hemolysis period.
In Lu Ping's eyes, the disturbances outside seemed to both sides to have arranged for acting, and when everyone thought that the True Spirit Sect had failed in this action to challenge the authority of the Xuan Ling Sect in the North Sea Alliance, Lu Ping thought that the True Spirit Sect had made a successful test to shake the position of the Xuan Ling Sect.
Although the Xuanling Sect forced the True Soul Sect to make concessions, they had no choice but to accept the reality of "fighting the law to seize the island" and seemed to have won a victory diplomatically, but the object of the True Soul Sect's concession was the occupied island of the Xuanling Sect! Moreover, this concession did not necessarily allow the Xuanling Sect to get too much benefit from it, especially the Xuanqi Island, which had a small mineral vein, was excluded from the list of "fighting the law to seize the island" and was legally occupied by the True Soul Sect.
The other sects of the alliance are still very willing to see a Xuanling Sect that is checked and balanced, rather than a Xuanling Sect that is dominant.
Sure enough, another month has passed, and the result of "fighting the law to seize the island" has come out under the supervision of many sects in the North Sea Alliance, fourteen times to fight the law, the True Spirit Sect has won nine times, and it has been connected to Xuanqi Island, and in this conflict, the True Spirit Sect has obtained the actual benefits of ten small islands.
In Lu Ping's opinion, although this fighting method is small-scale, it also reflects a problem from the side: that is, the strength of the True Spirit Sect's Hemolysis Stage monks is generally higher than that of the Xuanling Sect's monks, although this is only a competition of more than a dozen people, but it can't help but make people come to such a result.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the True Spirit Sect dares to challenge the Xuan Ling Sect!
Lu Ping finally came to his own conclusion from the dazzling game between the two sides in the Beihai Alliance this time, but it was just his own opinion, Lu Ping laughed self-deprecatingly, these things are naturally planned by those ancestors of his own faction, and it is important for him to break through the cultivation at the moment.
In the cultivation room, Lu Ping sat there quietly with a Muddy Blood Pill.
Lu Ping has reached the peak of the eighth layer for almost a month, and although the ninth layer of blood refining is in front of him, Lu Ping just hasn't been able to pierce this layer of window paper.
Lu Ping decided to try it with a Muddy Blood Pill.
For a long time, Lu Ping was reluctant to use the Muddy Blood Pill to cultivate, although Lu Ping's cultivation was far deeper than that of a monk of the same level, but there was still some unnecessary waste with the Muddy Blood Pill, and this time he couldn't care about it in order to break through to the ninth layer.
Lu Ping put the Muddy Blood Pill in his mouth, and the pill melted in his mouth, turning into a powerful spiritual power in his abdomen, and then absorbed by the blood, cooperating with Lu Ping's continuous operation of "Hemolysis and Transformation Spiritual Skill" Cultivation, completely integrated into the bloodline, the original bright red blood suddenly became a little bright, the beating of the heart became more slow but strong, the galloping blood in the heart and spiritual power under the dual action, slowly broadened the blood in the body, at the same time, many blood veins in the body were not connected to the place dredged, strong spiritual power in the blood driven deep into all parts of the body, Lu Ping's body was transformed more robust, and some impurities that could not be removed from the body were excluded from the body.
Nine layers of blood refining!
Lu Ping finally arrived, and there was only one step left before the hemolysis period. Lu Ping looked at the Tianling Mountain Range, where the True Spirit Sect was stationed, and said secretly, it seemed that he had to make a plan for himself and speed up his preparations for entering the hemolysis period.
