Mortal Alchemy

"By the end of next month, I should be able to save up a batch of Essence Qi Pills."

Chen Ping nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for good news from Senior Brother Xu."

You might not see disciples from the Pill Hall at the Spirit Cuisine Hall, but you'll definitely see them when they turn in their tasks at the end of the month.

The pill-refining disciples in the Pill Hall are all hardworking folks without much background or connections. How could they have the connections to trade resources with disciples from other departments?

Only someone like Mu Luofei, who comes from the Mu family and works in the Affairs Hall with extensive connections, can do it.

In conclusion, Mu Luofei deserves to earn this money.

Since Chen Ping was already here, he simply went to Madam Butterfly to collect the medicinal materials, pretending to refine pills but actually secluding himself for cultivation.

Watching Chen Ping's back, Madam Butterfly rested her chin on one hand, her eyes somewhat resentful.

Entering the pill refining room, closing the door and activating the restrictions, Chen Ping took out a Yuan Qi Pill, swallowed it, and began to refine it.

After consuming nine Yuan Qi Pills, it was time to turn in the task. Chen Ping left the pill refining room and met Xu Fengshan.

"Senior Brother Xu, how's the situation?"

Senior Brother Xu said with a smile:

"Not bad, I've collected a total of twenty bottles of Essence Qi Pills from others."

Chen Ping calculated that with a dozen disciples in the Pill Hall, after each handing in four bottles of Essence Qi Pills per month to earn three spirit stones as a monthly stipend, each could still squeeze out about two bottles.

If Chen Ping were to collect them himself, he could at most embezzle one spirit sand per bottle, twenty spirit sands a month, which would only be two spirit stones a year, not worth it.

With that time, wouldn't refining Spirit Sense Pills be more profitable?

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Let's go, Senior Brother Xu, we'll go to the Affairs Hall to see my senior sister."

It's better to settle this matter once and for all, so he won't be bothered later.

After seven years, Chen Ping came to the Affairs Hall again.

People came and went like a tide, most of them still looking as before, pale, numb, with dull eyes, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

People were constantly coming to the Affairs Hall to handle matters.

Chen Ping searched with Xu Fengshan for a while before finally seeing Mu Luofei's beautiful figure behind a counter.

"Senior Sister Mu." As soon as Chen Ping said this, the women behind several counters nearby looked towards Chen Ping, their eyes filled with doubt.

Mu Luofei's earlobes turned slightly red, and she said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Chen, don't call me Senior Sister Mu in the future, just call me Luofei."

This is in the Mu family, there are many people with the surname Mu.

"Yes, Senior Sister Luofei." Chen Ping savored the taste in his heart, he should be the first person in Jiazi Courtyard to call her 'Luofei'.

"Follow me." Mu Luofei left the counter, gracefully leading the two to a quiet room in the back.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "This is Senior Brother Xu, he is in charge of collecting the Essence Qi Pills."

Everyone is busy, Xu Fengshan got straight to the point, "Miss Mu, this month I can provide twenty bottles of Essence Qi Pills, the price will be eighty-five spirit sand as Miss Mu said."

Mu Luofei nodded slightly, "Okay, this matter is a long-term transaction, in the future we can set a fixed time and place."

Xu Fengshan said, "Then Miss Mu can come to my dojo to pick up the pills at this time every month.

This month is a bit rushed, so I only prepared twenty bottles. Other senior brothers are also taking the time to refine Fasting Pills and Qi Recovery Pills.

Starting next month, it should be able to stabilize at forty bottles or more, I don't know if Miss Mu can handle it."

A bright smile appeared on Mu Luofei's calm little face:

"The more the better, I can handle as many as you can provide."
