1. **Stating the problem:** We are given two equations involving terms with $p_1^3$ and $p_2^3$, and we want to multiply Equation (i) by $b$ and Equation (ii) by $c$, then subtract to simplify and analyze the resulting expression.
2. **Write the given expressions:**
Equation (i) multiplied by $b$:
$$b\left(ab + b^2 p_1^3 + b c p_2^3\right) = ab^2 + b^3 p_1^3 + b^2 c p_2^3$$
Equation (ii) multiplied by $c$:
$$c\left(a c p_1^3 + b c p_2^3 + c^2 p\right) = a c^2 p_1^3 + b c^2 p_2^3 + c^3 p$$
3. **Subtract the two multiplied equations:**
$$\left(ab^2 + b^3 p_1^3 + b^2 c p_2^3\right) - \left(a c^2 p_1^3 + b c^2 p_2^3 + c^3 p\right) = 0$$
4. **Group like terms:**
$$\left(b^3 p_1^3 - a c^2 p_1^3\right) + \left(b^2 c p_2^3 - b c^2 p_2^3\right) + ab^2 - c^3 p = 0$$
5. **Factor terms where possible:**
$$p_1^3 (b^3 - a c^2) + p_2^3 (b^2 c - b c^2) + ab^2 - c^3 p = 0$$
6. **Simplify the coefficients:**
$$p_1^3 (b^2 - a c) b + p_2^3 b c (b - c) + ab^2 - c^3 p = 0$$
7. **Given the problem's simplification:**
$$\Rightarrow (b^2 - a c) p_1^3 + (ab - c^2) p = 0$$
8. **Since $p_1^3$ is irrational and the equation equals zero, the coefficients must be zero separately:**
$$b^2 - a c = 0$$
$$ab - c^2 = 0$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{b^2 - a c = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad ab - c^2 = 0}$$
This means the system implies these two conditions must hold for the equation to be true given the irrationality of $p_1^3$.
