Mortal Alchemy

Upon hearing the situation report.

Mu Luofei and Mu Xingling's beautiful eyes shone with unusual brilliance, a surge of indescribable emotions stirring within their chests.

Zhou Ying, her eyes filled with admiration, gently bit her lip: "Senior Brother Chen, you're amazing."

"Amazing, amazing, as expected of the treasured disciple of Superior Gong Yue..." True Person Changkong exhaled a long breath.

He inexplicably felt fortunate. If it weren't for Chen Ping, his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain would have been in vain, and the Demon Subduing Market would have been completely annihilated. By the time they returned, the demonic cultivators would have escaped to who knows where.

Chen Ping had killed so many demonic cultivators and made such a great contribution, which, to some extent, allowed him to redeem himself.

After all, it was he who personally suggested that Chen Ping return to the Demon Subduing Market to kill demonic cultivators and earn merit.

The several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Celestial Sect and the Myriad Desires Pavilion immediately felt a heavy pressure.

Among their peers, there was such a powerful figure, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Especially the young master of the Celestial Sect, who was breaking out in a cold sweat.

His Foundation Establishment subordinates were even more pale-faced.

True Person Changkong pondered for a long time: "Report the situation to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City..."

...

At this moment.

In a mountain cave five hundred miles away.

Forty to fifty demonic cultivators were gathered here to rest.

This time, the demonic cultivators attacked several markets at once, performing large-scale sacrifices to increase their cultivation.

"Why hasn't Protector Zhao arrived yet? Has Lu Chuan not picked up Protector Zhao yet..."

"Could there be a problem at the Demon Subduing Market?"

"Protector Zhao is the descendant of that senior, we must not let anything happen to him..."

...

Two days later.

Four Golden Core True Persons arrived from Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Each of the four sects sent one person.

True Person Changkong's face showed surprise: "...Fellow Daoists, you've arrived so quickly."

"A disciple of the Eastern Xuan Sect came to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City to report that a large number of demonic cultivators were attacking the Demon Subduing Market. We received the news and rushed over immediately."

"Even so, we were still delayed for some time."

Two days was far too late, but in these extraordinary times, even Golden Core True Persons were burdened with miscellaneous affairs and unable to spare themselves.

"Fellow Daoist Changkong, tell us about the situation."

True Person Changkong's face showed a look of pain, and he truthfully reported the news of the Demon Subduing Market from beginning to end.

Hearing the beginning, that 18,000 people had died in the Demon Subduing Market, the four Golden Core cultivators' eyes showed heartache.

Hearing the end, that the Eastern Xuan Sect's direct disciple 'Cheng Ping' had single-handedly killed nineteen demonic cultivators, including a Protector, the four Golden Core True Persons' eyes showed surprise.

True Person Changkong squeezed out a smile: "Fellow Daoist 'Jian Bai', you have a good junior brother."

One of the four Golden Core True Persons who came to the Demon Subduing Market this time was Bai Jianjia.

She belonged to the Punishment Peak and generally did not interfere in external affairs. This time, even she had come, indicating how serious the situation was in Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Bai Jianjia's expression was calm, and she nodded slightly:

"Junior Brother inherited Master's sword dao mantle. It is not surprising that he has such achievements."

The corners of True Person Changkong's mouth twitched.

The only sword spirit root cultivator in thousands of years did not go to their Demon Subduing Sect, but instead became a disciple of the Eastern Xuan Sect, making such a great name, making it difficult to distinguish who was the orthodox sword dao?

The remaining three Golden Core True Persons congratulated Bai Jianjia: "Your junior brother is likely to become famous in the future."

"Single-handedly fighting nineteen demonic cultivators and killing them all, Superior Gong Yue has a successor."

Hearing this, Bai Jianjia slightly raised her snow-white, proud neck.

Bai Jianjia asked: "Fellow Daoist Changkong, how is my junior brother's condition?"

True Person Changkong said: "Junior Brother Chen Ping is in closed-door cultivation to heal his injuries. Fellow Daoist Jian Bai can go find him yourself."

Bai Jianjia pondered for a moment and said: "Time is tight. I will go see Junior Brother. I trouble the other Fellow Daoists to have a cup of tea here and then return to the Immortal City to report."

They would still give Bai Jianjia this bit of face.

The three Golden Core True Persons nodded.

Then Bai Jianjia went to find Chen Ping.

After she left.

"Junior Brother Changkong, this time you made such a big mistake, allowing a Foundation Establishment junior brother to turn the tide. I'm afraid the subsequent punishment from the Master will not be light. You must be prepared..."

True Person Changkong nodded with a bitter expression: "I am prepared."

"This 'Cheng Ping' junior brother is someone who can be won over. It seems that it won't be long before he is one of us."

True Person Changkong pondered: "...It should be so."

...

Chen Ping was soaking in the medicinal pool, rapidly healing his injuries. His body was almost cracked, and his insides were riddled with holes. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation technique was truly powerful and heaven-defying.

He simply wouldn't have survived until now.

Even so, it would take a long time to recover from this injury.

"Knock knock!"

A knock sounded on the door.

Mu Luofei's voice sounded outside the door: "Junior Brother, True Person Bai is here."

Chen Ping weakly opened his eyes, a look of doubt in his eyes:

"Senior Sister Jianjia is here?"

"Senior Sister Luofei, please invite Senior Sister Jianjia in."

"Creak—"

The door of the elegant room opened, and Bai Jianjia, as cold and proud as snow, walked in. She sized up Chen Ping's situation, a look of satisfaction in her eyes, and revealed a gentle smile:

"Junior Brother, this time you have shown your prestige and have not lost Master's face."

Chen Ping smiled: "Senior Sister is praising me too much. Junior Brother was just lucky."

"By the way, Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Bai Jianjia said: "Demonic cultivators are colluding with demonic beasts to cause chaos. Several nearby markets have been attacked, and the situation is in a mess. We are here to clean up the aftermath and compile the battle reports."

"I can't stay for long. I have to leave later."

"This time, there are many internal collaborators among the cultivators of the four sects. We are also secretly investigating, and the situation will not be peaceful in the future."

Chen Ping's gaze was solemn, and he nodded.

This time, the losses were heavy because there were demonic cultivator collaborators.

Gao Yang paid with his life for this, as well as the lives of 18,000 people in the Demon Subduing Market.

To find out the demonic cultivator collaborators, coupled with the factional struggles, another storm of blood will be stirred up.

Bai Jianjia said: "Junior Brother, how much merit have you accumulated?"

Chen Ping grinned: "More than six hundred merit points."

"Not bad." Bai Jianjia's gaze became even more gentle: "Junior Brother, you are self-reliant and independent, which is really good. I think Master will be quite satisfied when she hears the news."

Last time, Superior Gong Yue stood up for him and suppressed Ren Rong, and some people were gossiping in secret. This time, Chen Ping killed so many demonic cultivators, and I think there will be fewer people gossiping.

To be a person, especially on the path of sword cultivation, you have to rely on your own efforts.

Bai Jianjia said: "Junior Brother, take out your token and these things. I will go meet Master and ask Master to apply for the Three Lights Divine Water for you."

"As for the three third-order spiritual medicines you want, you can exchange them yourself later."

Chen Ping nodded: "Okay, thank you for making a trip, Senior Sister."

He handed over everything to Bai Jianjia. As for the demonic cultivators' spatial rings and magical artifacts, he kept them for himself. This was also a considerable amount of wealth, but he was still healing his injuries and could not count the spoils of war.

"It doesn't matter. Junior Brother, you should heal your injuries properly."

Bai Jianjia prepared to turn around and leave. Before leaving, she said to Chen Ping: "Junior Brother, it is better for us sword cultivators to have less contact with the pleasures of women."

"With four beauties accompanying you, how can your sword dao improve?"

Chen Ping's expression froze.
