Mortal Alchemy

"Put the Sea God Rings on them."

Granny Baihua said coldly.

Several Qi Refinement cultivators behind her stepped forward and placed metal collars around the necks of Chen Ping and the others.

The grayish-white bead on Chen Ping's neck immediately began to glow faintly, seemingly resisting the evil power of the metal collar.

Although Chen Ping was weak and caught off guard, he secretly began to circulate his cultivation technique to dispel the effects of the Sea Saliva Incense after he came to his senses.

The Sea God Sect liked to capture people as slaves but didn't like to kill them, so his life was not in immediate danger.

Chen Ping watched coldly, not making any immediate moves, observing the situation and taking it one step at a time.

A Qi Refinement cultivator respectfully said from the side:

"Guardian Baihua, this female slave is quite beautiful, and she's even a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If she's offered to the Sect Leader as a cauldron, I'm sure the Guardian will receive great credit."

Nan Yun's face turned pale.

She had just escaped being a plaything for Mo Xing, and now she was going to become a cauldron for a heretical cultivator?

Beauty brings misfortune, as always.

"Bang!"

Granny Baihua raised her hand and shattered the Qi Refinement cultivator's head.

This scene chilled everyone present to the bone.

Granny Baihua seemed kind, but she was so ruthless when she acted.

Granny Baihua said coldly, "Take them to the mine."

Chen Ping and the others knew that Granny Baihua had deliberately lured them here.

A burly man picked them up and carried them to the island's mine.

Dense spiritual energy rushed towards them, the aura of a third-order spiritual vein.

Inside the huge mine, countless enslaved cultivators were digging.

If anyone tried to resist, the nearby cultivators would activate a spell, and the metal ring on their neck would emit a spiritual light, causing them unbearable pain and screams.

Granny Baihua followed behind, leaning on her crutch, and said coldly, "If you don't want to suffer, the three of you should honestly obey."

"There aren't many Foundation Establishment slaves in the Sea God Sect, so don't force this old woman to kill you."

"If you are good slaves, you can save your lives."

Nan Yun and the scholar Ding Feng kept silent out of fear.

Arriving at a forked mine tunnel, Granny Baihua dismissed her subordinates.

She looked at the scholar Ding Feng and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Ding Feng, now you can tell me your secret."

"Explain how you smuggled yourself over from which Great Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping and Nan Yun were both shocked.

This scholar Ding Feng was a cultivator from another Great Domain?

The scholar Ding Feng's expression changed drastically:

"How did you know..."

"Hehehe..." Granny Baihua sneered repeatedly, "For you to escape the spiritual storm with your Foundation Establishment cultivation and sneak into Haoyu Sea, disguising yourself as a local cultivator."

"It's a pity that my sect has many eyes and ears, and we dug you out."

"Otherwise, would I, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, even bother to come into contact with you?"

"Confess honestly and you will suffer less."

The scholar Ding Feng's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am from the Southern Great Domain."

Since he had been caught, there was no point in hiding it.

Granny Baihua's eyes lit up:

"The Southern Great Domain? How did you smuggle yourself over here?"

The resources in the Eastern Domain's cultivation world were scarce, and being controlled by the Four Great Sects was too oppressive.

Scholar Ding Feng: "I accidentally entered an underwater spiritual vein, and when I woke up, I was already in Haoyu Sea..."

"Hmph!" Granny Baihua snorted coldly and formed a hand seal: "It seems you need to suffer a little before you will confess honestly..."

"Ah!!!" The scholar Ding Feng's facial features twisted instantly, and his body trembled violently like a sieve, screaming in pain:

"What I said is true!"

Granny Baihua ignored him, allowing the scholar Ding Feng to scream in pain on the spot.

Time passed little by little, and the scholar Ding Feng gradually bled from all seven orifices, and his aura became weaker and weaker.

A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator was being tortured like a dog, giving Nan Yun a sense of shared grief.

This Sea God Sect was too evil. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator with the power of divine sense, he had no ability to resist at all...

This collar not only restricted spiritual power but also severely suppressed the cultivator's divine sense.

Seeing that the scholar Ding Feng was about to be tortured to death and still didn't change his story.

This made Granny Baihua frown: "Could it be that what he said is true, and he really came to Haoyu Sea by luck?"

That spiritual storm was too terrifying. Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators could easily perish if they entered it.

Above the Four Great Sects in the Eastern Domain's cultivation world were Immortal Sects, which had special secret methods to allow people to travel to other Great Domains.

"Consider yourself lucky to have saved your life." Granny Baihua stopped forming the hand seal.

Chen Ping was secretly delighted. This Granny Baihua only knew that this person came from another Great Domain, but didn't know the secret of his elixirs?

That was missing out on a treasure!

This also explained why the scholar Ding Feng was able to refine such elixirs.

Mastering the Hundred Arts inheritance of a non-Eastern Domain cultivation world was of unimaginable value.

After torturing the scholar Ding Feng, Granny Baihua looked at Chen Ping and revealed a cold smile:

"Fellow Daoist Tang, hand over the second-order elixir inheritance you possess, and I will spare your life to mine here."

Chen Ping was silent for a moment before saying:

"Alright."

He revealed five common second-order elixir formulas, of course, deliberately saying one of the ingredients wrong, as well as the processing methods for the medicinal materials.

Then Granny Baihua's eyes turned cold: "Not honest."

She formed a hand seal, and suddenly, spiritual light surged from Chen Ping's neck, making his bones and soul feel like they were being stabbed by knives.

It was extremely painful at first, causing his facial features to twist and his body to twitch, but soon the grayish-white bead took effect, greatly reducing Chen Ping's pain.

Granny Baihua asked coldly: "Is the second-order alchemist inheritance false?"

Chen Ping pretended to be struggling:

"No... no..."

He even made himself bleed from all seven orifices at the right time. He was a second-order body cultivator and had extremely strong control over his physical body.

His divine sense and spiritual power were restricted, but his strength as a second-order body cultivator was still there.

Because he had activated the Turtle Breath Technique, Granny Baihua hadn't even seen that he was a second-order body cultivator.

She also couldn't figure out the truth of Chen Ping's condition.

Granny Baihua didn't reply but saw that Chen Ping was also tortured like a dead dog, on the verge of death, and then stopped torturing Chen Ping.

However, in reality, Chen Ping wasn't seriously injured at all.

It was all an act.

What was even more amazing was that the Brocade-haired Treasure Hunting Mink in his sleeve wasn't discovered.

After becoming a first-order demon beast, its fur was not only spiritually insulated but also able to hide the exploration of divine sense in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators, which was truly amazing.

"Hmph! Consider yourself honest, then I will spare your life." Granny Baihua snorted coldly.

Then she squatted down and took off the space ring from Chen Ping's hand.

Chen Ping had four or five space rings on him. The one he was wearing on his finger only contained some second-order materials, as well as the Azure Cloud Sword and several thousand spirit stones.

The rest was kept by Brother Mink in his sleeve.

He understood the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket.

That is to say, Chen Ping would at most lose a little more than ten thousand spirit stones to fool Granny Baihua.
