Mortal Alchemy

“Whoosh—”

Chen Ping's divine sense immediately spread out, and the Yaoyue Sword transformed into an afterimage as it flew out.

“Bang—”

An explosion sounded.

Chen Ping blocked the attack, his gaze cold as he looked to the left front:

“Zhang Daosheng!”

The Yaoyue Sword shot towards the direction of Zhang Daosheng.

Zhang Daosheng had long been prepared for Chen Ping's Yaoyue Sword, and the sword missed its target.

Then, Zhang Daosheng immediately fled.

“Chase!” Chen Ping transformed into a cyan-purple spiritual light and rushed forward.

With his formidable battle prowess, he was not afraid of these two at all!

The four women also followed closely behind.

After Chen Ping entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, his speed was extremely fast.

Zhang Daosheng was very familiar with this, and immediately fled into a stone chamber, disappearing without a trace.

Chen Ping's divine sense spread out, but it felt as if it was sinking into mud, disappearing without a trace.

“This stone chamber is strange.” Chen Ping did not rashly enter, but instead held his sword and waited quietly for the four women to catch up.

“This stone chamber is made of at least Tier 3 materials, and even if we work together, we cannot destroy it.”

Chen Ping looked at a button outside the stone chamber: “The five of us will go in together.”

The four women nodded.

The Yaoyue Sword flew out and pressed the button with its hilt.

Then, the stone door opened, but divine sense still could not detect anything inside.

The five of them stood shoulder to shoulder and then stepped in neatly.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

In an instant, the interior flashed with light, and formations operated on the ground.

But they did not see Zhang Daosheng's figure.

Chen Ping's expression changed drastically:

“Not good—”

But it was too late for them to retreat.

The light in front of them flickered, and they felt dizzy.

When Chen Ping regained his senses, he was no longer in that stone chamber.

Chen Ping's expression was both surprised and unsightly:

“A teleportation array…”

The sect from tens of thousands of years ago actually still had a teleportation array inside.

It should be known that teleportation arrays belonged to Tier 5 array techniques.

None of the four major sects in the Eastern Region's cultivation world had anyone who mastered Tier 5 array techniques.

Only the legendary immortal sects had the ability to build teleportation arrays.

In other words, this sect's ruins hidden under Dongyue Mountain might have been no weaker than the legendary immortal sects tens of thousands of years ago.

“Damn it!” Chen Ping's eyes were gloomy.

He and the other four women had been separated.

The four major Foundation Establishment families had been cultivating here for hundreds of years, so it was normal for them to have an advantage.

“Ping Lang.” Mu Xingling's voice sounded from behind Chen Ping.

Chen Ping turned around and saw Mu Xingling walking from around the corner of a stone wall not far away: “Where are we?”

Chen Ping's divine sense, reaching six hundred feet, spread out, and his brows furrowed: “This is… a maze?”

In his divine sense, there were black stone walls full of twists and turns, and his six hundred feet of divine sense could not reach the end.

Mu Xingling's small face was slightly surprised: “A maze? Made with Tier 3 materials?”

Chen Ping slowly nodded: “This maze should be very large. One thing that is certain is that we are underground.”

Mu Xingling smiled lightly, walked forward, gently took Chen Ping's arm, and said in a soft voice:

“It's really interesting to explore with Ping Lang.”

“This concubine's strength is insufficient, so I will have to trouble Ping Lang to protect me.”

Chen Ping did not push her away. Now that they were in an unfamiliar place, uniting together would increase their chances of survival and facing the dangers in the dark together.

Chen Ping did not rashly release the Yaoyue Sword, but slowly walked forward, using his divine sense to sense the exit of the maze.

He looked at Mu Xingling, who was strolling leisurely, and said: “You are in a really good mood.”

Mu Xingling giggled: “Yes, this concubine is certainly in a good mood. Only in this kind of situation can I be alone with Ping Lang.”

“Outside, with Sister Luo Fei watching, this concubine would not dare to have such contact with Ping Lang.”

Chen Ping really couldn't understand what this woman was thinking.

The two walked forward, and along the way, they discovered many corpses.

There were corpses of demonic beasts, and also corpses of members of the four major Foundation Establishment families.

Chen Ping's expression was a little unpleasant: “Why are there so many corpses?”

These corpses would turn into dust with a slight touch.

One day, two days, three days…

Three days passed, and Chen Ping's divine sense had not yet detected the end of the maze.

At this moment, Chen Ping's expression was a little unsightly.

Mu Xingling also lost her usual calmness and gentleness, and her beautiful eyes showed a look of solemnity.

Another three days passed.

Chen Ping's brows suddenly furrowed into a frown: “We've reached a dead end!”

Six hundred feet away, he sensed the dead end of the maze.

Mu Xingling said: “Ping Lang, since there is a dead end ahead, then we should change direction and move forward.”

Chen Ping slowly nodded, still able to remain calm.

They returned along the original path and walked for another three days.

Mu Xingling said: “Ping Lang, since you are tired, let's rest for a while.”

In this darkness, they did not know what the weather was like outside.

However, Foundation Establishment cultivators were relatively sensitive to time and physical sensations.

Chen Ping had been using his divine sense to explore the path for nine consecutive days, and at this moment, his face also showed a look of fatigue.

Chen Ping slowly nodded:

“Then let's rest for a while and recover our state before finding a way.”

He summoned the White Jade Flying Boat, which had elegant rooms for people to rest in.

Chen Ping naturally entered the best elegant room to rest.

While he was dozing off, he heard tiptoeing sounds, and the Tier 1 small restriction on the door of the room was broken.

Then, a warm, soft, and fragrant body climbed onto Chen Ping's bed and burrowed into Chen Ping's bedding.

Chen Ping was immediately awakened and opened his eyes. Mu Xingling's beautiful face came into his view.

Chen Ping reached out and touched her, and Mu Xingling's body was obviously naked and not wearing any clothes.

Chen Ping frowned slightly: “Mu Xingling, what are you doing?”

Mu Xingling rested her head on Chen Ping's chest and said with a smile: “This concubine wants to sleep with Ping Lang.”

“Ping Lang was also extremely tired, and this concubine only woke Ping Lang after getting into bed.”

Chen Ping frowned and said: “Get down and go back to your own room to sleep.”

Mu Xingling said: “No, this concubine just wants to be with Ping Lang.”

She giggled:

“Has Ping Lang ever missed that night?”

The night she was referring to was naturally the time when she used charm techniques more than ten years ago.

Chen Ping said simply and neatly: “No.”

“Hmph!” Mu Xingling snorted softly: “That night, Ping Lang tortured this concubine miserably. When this concubine left, I could only walk while holding onto the wall, leaving the Heavenly Music Building.”

“In this matter, Ping Lang is really amazing.”

Chen Ping felt a surge of heat and embarrassment in his heart, and his voice was slightly cold on the surface: “Did you use medicine on me again?”

Chen Ping's self-control was extremely strong.

He actually had a bit of a reaction at this moment.

Faced with Chen Ping's questioning, Mu Xingling was not flustered. Her soft body lay on Chen Ping's body, and she said with a smile:

“This concubine only used a little aphrodisiac ambergris, which is not considered a poison.”

“This matter is addictive once you taste it. If Ping Lang doesn't want it, this concubine misses that night very much.”

“There is no one else here, and I don't believe Ping Lang doesn't want it at all.”

“Even if this concubine serves Ping Lang, Sister Luo Fei won't find out.”

“How about we treat it as a secret between this concubine and Ping Lang?”

She really regarded herself as a concubine, and said that she would bow her head and serve Chen Ping.

Chen Ping flashed his figure, got out of bed directly, and said lightly:

“No need.”

Then, he fled the elegant room as if he was running away.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xingling's fair body was wrapped in a bed sheet, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with some smugness:

“Ping Lang really doesn't respond to force, but responds to gentleness.”

She finally found the correct way to open Chen Ping.
