Mortal Alchemy

Nineteen months later.

A white jade flying boat sped across the azure sea.

On the deck, a man and a woman sat facing each other, drinking tea.

The female cultivator was dressed in revealing, sexy clothing, and every frown and smile was captivating.

The male cultivator remained unmoved by her charm and seduction.

Nan Yun said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I really don't understand."

"Isn't refining pills in the market faster than searching for medicine at sea?"

Chen Ping took a sip of spiritual tea:

"I have other things to do."

"You have expanded your network of contacts this time, so you must make good use of it."

"Has there been any progress in collecting spiritual plants after so many years?"

Nan Yun's face flushed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, without you, a second-order alchemist, sitting in town, few people would be willing to pay attention to me."

"Now that I have made a name for myself here, I can try to see if I can find a few second-order spiritual plants."

Chen Ping nodded: "That's good, then you can go to the Flying Treasure Ship to try, now no one should be willing to make things difficult for you."

"Let's part ways here for now."

"Fellow Daoist Nan Yun can come to me again after a while."

Nan Yun could only nod: "Okay."

She knew that Chen Ping had secrets that he didn't want her to be involved in and wanted to avoid her on purpose.

She had a heart demon oath with Chen Ping, so she couldn't explore what Chen Ping's secret was.

The two separated, Nan Yun went to inquire about and search for resources.

Chen Ping went to his own island medicine garden.

After a journey of about 20,000 miles, Chen Ping flew for about ten days.

Landing on the island, Chen Ping instructed the Treasure Seeking Sable:

"Sable, you are on guard here. If anyone approaches the island, you will come down and notify me."

"Squeak, squeak!" The Treasure Seeking Sable responded.

Speaking of which, the Treasure Seeking Sable's food needs have become greater and greater in recent years, and it especially likes to eat second-order monster meat.

Chen Ping spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to prepare food for it.

But the little guy is getting smarter and smarter, and it looks like it may be promoted to a second-order spirit beast soon.

Following Chen Ping, it is all-inclusive and has a relaxed and happy life.

This island has existed for ten years, and there is not a ghost in sight for hundreds of miles.

Who would have thought that there is a great secret hidden underground?

If there are monks appearing around this area, they must be coming for Chen Ping.

After all, the monks who go out to sea to find medicine will go to the vicinity of the sea tide storm to search for the latest emerging islands.

Chen Ping entered the ground for thousands of feet and came to the outside of the medicine garden's formation.

The eighteen second-order spiritual plants have been completely transformed.

Chen Ping walked into the medicine garden: "It's just that the age rings of these spiritual plants have regressed by thirty to fifty years..."

For him, this doesn't matter.

The age rings of spiritual plants are related to the advancement of the spiritual plants themselves.

A feeling of harvest surged into his heart: "If all these spiritual medicines are collected and refined into Cultivation Pills, I should be able to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

"First collect these spiritual medicines and refine them into pills, then return to Floating Light Square City to cultivate, and then refine a furnace of Breakthrough Pills."

Within four years, Chen Ping was confident that he could cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

A late stage Foundation Establishment at less than sixty years old, and he would be able to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment at seventy years old.

With this kind of cultivation speed, Chen Ping could be proud in the Eastern Region cultivation world.

If the Long Sky Secret Realm and the Nascent Soul Seed battle go smoothly, Chen Ping will be able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage around the age of eighty.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was excited, took a deep breath, and calmed down his emotions.

Then he began to pick spiritual medicines and refine Cultivation Pills.

After failing many times before, Chen Ping now has considerable experience in alchemy. Although it has been nine years since he refined it again, he did not fail the first time he refined it again.

"Perhaps I should exchange for a third-order spiritual fire and a third-order alchemy furnace to try refining pills."

Chen Ping always felt that the Cultivation Pills he was taking had exceeded the second-order pills and might have reached the edge of the third-order pills.

"It would be more convenient for Senior Sister Luo Fei, a second-order tool refiner, to come forward and help me inquire."

In just four or five months, Chen Ping refined all eighteen second-order spiritual medicines into Cultivation Pills.

Looking at the bare eighteen second-order spiritual plants: "...If I want to take medicine again, I have to wait twenty years..."

"And there are still dozens of spiritual medicines on Zhang Dingfeng's island."

"Perhaps I should ripen the age of these spiritual medicines and let them enter the third-order spiritual plants faster..."

Who knows, they may come in handy in the future?

Chen Ping took action and added spiritual planter methods to the spiritual plants on this spiritual vein to ripen them.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak." At this time, the Treasure Seeking Sable ran down from the island.

Chen Ping frowned: "Someone is coming?"

Chen Ping immediately stopped his movements, tore a second-order invisibility talisman, and urged the Turtle Breathing Technique to leave the underground.

When Chen Ping left the island and came into the air to take out the Aurora Sword, his expression froze, and then he released the invisibility talisman and revealed his figure, his tone a little unkind:

"Fellow Daoist Nan Yun, why did you bring my Junior Brother Luo here?"

Nan Yun said: "It's not that I want to inquire about Fellow Daoist Chen's secrets, but this junior brother of yours said that there is an urgent matter and asked me to find you."

Chen Ping looked at Luo Chongzhi: "Junior Brother Luo?"

Luo Chongzhi cupped his hands and said: "Senior Brother Chen, something happened in Floating Light Square City. Senior Sister Luo Fei asked me to find you back as soon as possible."

Chen Ping's face changed suddenly: "Let's go! What happened, we'll talk about it on the way."

Chen Ping summoned the White Jade Flying Boat, took Luo Chongzhi and Nan Yun away from here, and went straight to the direction of Floating Light Square City.

The distance is more than 23,000 miles.

And Chen Ping didn't have time to care about how Nan Yun found his whereabouts.

On the flying boat, Luo Chongzhi said truthfully: "I don't know what happened in the square city."

"A month ago, Senior Sister Luo Fei notified me by secret means and asked me to go out to sea immediately to find Senior Brother Chen."

"I secretly inquired and found out that Senior Sister Luo Fei seems to have been controlled."

"I didn't dare to inquire carefully, so I had to go out to sea to find Senior Brother."

Chen Ping's brows suddenly furrowed into a Sichuan character: "She was controlled?"

It's been almost two years since he left Floating Light Square City this time. What happened in the middle?

Several guesses couldn't help but emerge in Chen Ping's mind:

"...Is it selling resources to attract enemies?"

"Or... Demon cultivators..."

If it was the former, it would be fine. Chen Ping would show up and find Bai Jianjia to smooth things over.

If it was the latter, Chen Ping didn't dare to think about it.

So many people died in Donghuang Immortal City. Anyone involved with demon cultivators would only have a dead end.

Eight days later.

Chen Ping drove the White Jade Flying Boat to Floating Light Square City.

As soon as Chen Ping arrived at Floating Light Square City, a disciple of the Punishment Peak appeared and pointed at Luo Chongzhi beside Chen Ping and said:

"This person is also from the Mu family, take him down for interrogation."

Luo Chongzhi's face changed drastically, and he could only look at Chen Ping.

Then several disciples of the Punishment Peak stepped forward and detained Luo Chongzhi.

Chen Ping's face was quite ugly.

Some people looked at Chen Ping, but no one dared to move him.

After a while, Bai Jianjia appeared with Mo Douguang.

After just a few words to Chen Ping, Chen Ping felt that the sky was about to fall.
