Chapter 919: Chapter 887: Crystallization Ninth Layer! Thank You, Ancestor, for Bestowing Opportunity

The Golden Core cultivators of the Cyan Mountain Sect were all gathered here. Seeing this, Lu Ping decided not to disturb them for the time being. He took the spiritual herbs and medicines, three pieces of branches and leaves from the Spirit Eye Divine Tree, and a small amount of Divine Spring Essence Water to the Medicinal Garden to find She Qingqing.

After more than four months of not seeing each other, She Qingqing’s cultivation had greatly improved, having reached the Crystallization Stage. It seemed she had recently gone through a breakthrough.

Upon inquiry, it was not only her cultivation; She Qingqing had also progressed to the Tier Four level in alchemy, becoming a Tier Four Lower Grade Alchemist.

The progress She Qingqing made during this time truly surprised Lu Ping.

"Ancestor, I managed to reach the Tier Four Alchemist level mainly because of the Sect Master. If it weren’t for him bringing back the Tier Four Alchemist heritage from Dubhe Institute, I would still be hovering at the Tier Three level."

She Qingqing spoke up, recounting when she advanced in alchemy and when she broke through to the Crystallization Stage.

It’s worth mentioning that to achieve the status of a Tier Four Alchemist, the basic requirement is having a cultivation at the Crystallization Stage, so one can condense the Crystal True Flame necessary for refining Tier Four elixirs.

This was the reason for She Qingqing’s promotion to Tier Four Alchemist: first breaking through to the Crystallization Stage, then advancing further.

Looking at the young woman in green before him, who had grown from a former Third-Layer Qi Cultivation Junior Cultivator to the Crystallization Stage and became a Tier Four Alchemist step by step.

As Lu Ping marveled at the passage of time like flowing water, he also witnessed She Qingqing’s growth.

"Tier Four is not your limit. Keep working hard, strive towards Tier Five, Tier Six, or even higher levels. As long as the sect has the resources you need, it won’t be lacking for you."

Lu Ping smiled gently, then took out some spiritual herbs and medicines along with the three pieces of branches and leaves from the Spirit Eye Divine Tree.

The spiritual herbs and medicines totaled thirty-six plants, all obtained in the ancient ruins, with tiers ranging from Tier Two to Tier Five.

She Qingqing recognized half of the spiritual herbs and medicines. When she set her eyes on the three pieces of branches and leaves from the Spirit Eye Divine Tree, her expression changed to one of difficulty, and she asked sheepishly.

"Ancestor, what is this?"

She Qingqing looked eager to learn.

It was expected by Lu Ping that She Qingqing did not recognize the Spirit Eye Divine Tree, so he carefully explained it.

After She Qingqing listened, Lu Ping took out three drops of Divine Spring Essence Water and gifted them to her.

"These three drops are Divine Spring Essence Water. Try refining one drop now."

Lu Ping said earnestly.

She Qingqing nodded. Knowing the amazing properties of this divine water, she became highly interested.

She sat cross-legged on the spot and began refining the Divine Spring Essence Water.

Lu Ping was also a bit curious at this moment about how much cultivation a Crystallization Stage cultivator could gain from refining one drop of Divine Spring Essence Water.

Soon, the answer revealed itself.

She Qingqing’s aura quickly skyrocketed, breaking through two barriers from the First-Layer Crystallization Stage, reaching the Third-Layer Crystallization Stage.

This substantial realm advancement made She Qingqing open her eyes in joy, feeling incredulous. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Just one drop of Divine Spring Essence Water, and my cultivation has grown this quickly!"

"Ancestor, this divine water is too amazing!"

She Qingqing opened her mouth wide, if it weren’t for experiencing it herself, she would find it absolutely unbelievable.

With two drops of Divine Spring Essence Water remaining, if she refined them both, wouldn’t she reach Late-stage Crystallization?

Whether yes or no, Lu Ping encouraged her to continue trying.

This Divine Spring Essence Water was given to She Qingqing for the purpose of increasing her cultivation.

She Qingqing continued to sit cross-legged and refine it. After about the duration of one incense stick, her cultivation showed continuous growth.

After refining the second drop of Divine Spring Essence Water, she jumped two small realms, reaching the Fifth-Layer Crystallization Stage.

The third drop of Divine Spring Essence Water was refined in about the duration of one incense stick, and her cultivation reached the Seventh-Layer Crystallization Stage.

Regarding the effect of the Divine Spring Essence Water, She Qingqing had not yet experienced much reduction in effect. Seeing this, Lu Ping straightforwardly gifted her one more drop.

This fourth drop of Divine Spring Essence Water successfully allowed She Qingqing to reach the Ninth-Layer Crystallization Stage!

"My cultivation... has already reached the peak of the Crystallization Stage..."

Breaking through eight small realms in one day, to She Qingqing before, was simply a fantasy, something she wouldn’t even dare to imagine.

But now, such a thing happened to her, and it felt somewhat unreal.

She pinched her arm, feeling a clear ache, which made her exclaim with a sense of excitement, bowing to Lu Ping in gratitude.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for granting this tremendous opportunity to your disciple!"

Seeing She Qingqing’s emotionally excited demeanor, Lu Ping smiled gently.

"As long as it benefits you. Now your cultivation has significantly increased, which is also beneficial for continuing to advance in alchemy."

"Yes, yes, it is."

She Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

Regarding the planting of the Spirit Eye Divine Tree, the two discussed it.

She Qingqing, experiencing the miraculous effect of the Divine Spring Essence Water, was intent on cultivating the Spirit Eye Divine Tree.

It was her first time planting, so she would consult ancient texts, experiment herself, and strive to cultivate well.

The three pieces of branches and leaves should not be wasted.

Shortly after, Lu Ping took out some Water Jade Honey for She Qingqing’s reference.

In the future, he hoped She Qingqing could refine Nascent Soul Pills.

After spending some time at the Medicinal Garden, in the afternoon, Lu Ping went to Yanyang Lake, and handed over twenty Water Jade Bees to Lu Xuelian.

As the Cyan Mountain Sect’s top Beast Tamer, Lu Xuelian’s cultivation had reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment and she was preparing for Crystallization.

When she saw those Water Jade Bees, and listened to Lu Ping’s introduction, she recalled her knowledge of these spirit insects, knowing a bit.

To her surprise, Lu Ping managed to obtain twenty of these Ancient Spirit Insects, a testament to his extraordinary means.

"The Water Jade Bee and White Jade Bee differ by only a word, looking similar, but the difference between the two is vast."

Lu Xuelian said, as a Water Jade Bee landed on her Jade Hand, buzzing lively, showing a hint of curiosity towards Lu Xuelian, a human race cultivator.

The other nineteen Water Jade Bees were frolicking around the area, getting familiar with their surroundings.

"The Water Jade Bee’s temperament is gentle; it shouldn’t be difficult to breed."

Lu Xuelian speculated.

Regarding the breeding of Water Jade Bees, Lu Ping briefly instructed a few sentences, then took out some Demon Beast Eggs.

"I don’t know what kind of spirit beasts are inside these eggs; if you have free time, also care for them together and see if any can be hatched."

"If you can identify the species of the spirit beasts inside before hatching, you need to inform me immediately."

Lu Ping instructed.

He kept one Demon Beast Egg for himself to try to hatch; the remaining twelve eggs were all handed over to Lu Xuelian.
