reputation points deducted, Lu Ping chooses a refresh, and the interface in the mall begins to jump.
This time, four new items have emerged in the refresh.
The maximum number of new items that can appear in a single refresh is five, so four items is quite substantial.
[One-Star - Ren Water Heart Method], [One-Star - Healing], [One-Star - Qi and Blood Recovery], [Two-Star Alchemist Upgrade].
The Ren Water Heart Method is a water attribute cultivation technique suitable only for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Cyan Mountain Sect has a lot of techniques of the same tier, so there’s no need to spend reputation points to exchange for it.
As for the other two one-star items, Lu Ping had obtained them before and exchanged for them, keeping them was beneficial.
Lastly, the two-star item...
As Lu Ping saw this item, his eyes lit up.
Clicking to check it, the detailed description appeared.
[Alchemist Upgrade: Two-Star]
[Effect: Select an alchemist within the sect to enhance their alchemy mastery by one tier]
The reputation point price and effect of this item are the same as [Two-Star Refiner Upgrade].
Previously, he upgraded Lu Zhiwei’s artifact refining mastery.
So now, let’s upgrade She Qingqing’s alchemy mastery.
reputation points is not expensive at all, it’s totally worth the investment.
Opened She Qingqing’s personal attributes panel, under the identity column, there’s an item displaying as Tier One Top-Grade Alchemist, indicating that recently, She Qingqing’s alchemy mastery hadn’t seen significant progress.
She’s still lingering on the threshold of Tier Two, not stepping in completely.
If she gets an upgrade, she’ll step into the Tier Two threshold immediately, allowing her to refine Tier Two Elixirs.
Once the [Two-Star Spirit Void Pill Formula] is exchanged from the mall, She Qingqing should be able to smoothly refine Spirit Void Pills by then.
Nurturing She Qingqing is extremely important as well.
After all, she’s considered Lu Ping’s direct disciple. In terms of teaching and promoting alchemy, Lu Ping naturally wouldn’t skimp on her.
No need for thanks, and certainly no stinginess.
After exchanging for [Two-Star Alchemist Upgrade], Lu Ping initiated spiritual communication, summoning She Qingqing.
"She Qingqing, come to the rear mountain cave mansion at Cyan Lotus Peak."
Once the communication went out, it resonated in She Qingqing’s mind. She immediately put down the task of watering Zixu Grass, instructed Li Weixiao, and left the medicinal garden.
Upon arriving at Lu Ping’s cave mansion, she respectfully bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Grandmaster."
Lu Ping responded indifferently.
After spending some time asking about the recent status of the medicinal garden, and finding nothing unusual, Lu Ping directly got to the point.
"With the nourishment of the Spirit Vein over these years, the spiritual Qi in the medicinal garden has noticeably increased, enough to plant some Tier Two spirit medicines."
"I have some Tier Two spirit medicines here, Spirit Void Vine seeds, around two hundred of them. In the next few days, expand them in the medicinal garden."
Since using the [Spirit Vein Upgrade], which involved a year-long tier enhancement of the Tier Two lower grade Spirit Vein at Cyan Lotus Mountain, the purity of the spiritual Qi there has been getting denser day by day.
Thus, the medicinal garden has benefited, allowing the expansion of more spirit medicines.
Planting these Spirit Void Vines should pose no problem.
Hearing Lu Ping’s instructions, She Qingqing nodded repeatedly, quite willing to expand spirit medicines in her heart.
With Li Weixiao’s help, managing the medicinal garden wouldn’t be too busy.
She hesitated whether to wait for Grandmaster to open the cave mansion to let her in, or if Grandmaster would show up later. Suddenly, on the ground before her, a bundle of light quickly turned from virtual to real.
It was a grass-yellow packet of seeds, about the size of two fists, presumably the Spirit Void Vine seeds Grandmaster mentioned.
Seeing the packet of Spirit Void Vine seeds materialize in front of her yet not seeing Grandmaster’s figure, nor understanding how Grandmaster did it, she was secretly impressed and didn’t dare take them recklessly, so she asked.
"Grandmaster, is it this packet?"
Once confirmed, She Qingqing carefully put it away.
Floating outside the cave mansion herself, revealing the Spirit Void Vine seeds, Lu Ping then mentioned another matter.
"Since you’re here, I might as well give you a hand in your alchemy mastery and upgrade you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, without caring about She Qingqing’s slightly stunned expression or understanding of what ’upgrade’ meant, Lu Ping spent 100 reputation points to exchange for the [Two-Star Alchemist Upgrade].
[Ding, you’ve exchanged for Alchemist Upgrade, please choose a target.]
After a gentle reminder, Lu Ping activated the effect, choosing She Qingqing as the target.
Once the effect triggered, She Qingqing immediately sensed a massive amount of information pouring into her mind like rivers joining the sea.
Upon closer attention, she astonishingly discovered these vast pieces of information were genuine knowledge points.
The richness covered from Tier One top-grade to Tier Two lower grade, inscribing themselves rapidly into her mind, impossible to forget.
It felt as if she personally went through years of study, continually practicing and exploring, mastering and refining Spirit Pills thoroughly.
In a very short time, She Qingqing’s alchemy skills and perspective stepped into the Tier Two lower grade league.
Truly feeling the enhancement in alchemy mastery, She Qingqing was momentarily both surprised and delighted, at a loss for words.
She was stunned by the remarkable method of self-improvement in alchemy skills, something too astonishing to be heard of, unthinkable even, yet now undeniably real.
She was pleased because her alchemy skills had improved, stepping into the long-desired Tier Two level, which was definitely worth celebrating.
"No need to worry, it has no harm to you. Try to digest these knowledge points well after you go back."
"As for the reason you suddenly stepped into the Tier Two alchemy tier, only you and I need to know, don’t spread it around."
With a directive given, Lu Ping signaled for She Qingqing to leave.
She Qingqing’s expression remained unsettled, her head filled with knowledge points, feeling a bit dumbfounded.
"Then disciple shall take leave."
She responded, bowing in gratitude: "Thank you, Grandmaster!"
After the ceremonious farewell, She Qingqing turned to leave.
On the way back to the medicinal garden, she was genuinely happy.
As she pondered over Grandmaster’s mention of ’upgrading,’ she began to generally grasp its meaning.
The coming days involve spending time planting the Spirit Void Vine, never forgetting Grandmaster’s instructions.
Time flew by, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, while Lu Changfeng was patrolling Cyan Lotus Peak, he suddenly sensed a surge of dense heaven and earth spiritual Qi rushing towards a location.
