Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping arrived at the East Wilderness Immortal City with Mu Luofei.

He didn't go to the main hall of the Eastern Xuan Sect, but instead came to the main hall of the Demon Subduing Sect, because he had a contribution token, so he was not hindered. In addition, Chen Ping was a direct disciple of the Nascent Soul stage, and he had a small reputation now.

The Demon Subduing Sect cultivator, who was usually unsmiling, warmly received him: "Uncle Cheng Ping, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Ping cupped his fist and said, "Oh, it's like this, I want to see Senior Brother Changkong, I wonder if Senior Brother Changkong is in?"

This Foundation Establishment stage Demon Subduing Sect cultivator said: "The tide of demons is coming to an end, and Senior Uncle Changkong has returned to the sect to accept punishment."

"However, Senior Uncle Ningguang is here, does Senior Uncle Cheng Ping want to see Senior Uncle Ningguang?"

Real Person Ningguang?

Chen Ping only met him once, and after hesitating for a while, Chen Ping nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

After a cup of tea, Real Person Ningguang appeared, and when he saw Chen Ping looking for him, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"Junior Brother Cheng Ping?"

Chen Ping cupped his fist and said, "Senior Brother Ningguang, it's like this, my Dao companion was expelled from the Eastern Xuan Sect, and her bone age is suitable. I want her to join the Demon Subduing Sect, I wonder if Senior Brother Ningguang is still accepting disciples?"

Demon Subduing Sect cultivators do not mince words, and are always straightforward. They are all sword cultivators, so Chen Ping did not exchange pleasantries, but instead went straight to the point.

Real Person Ningguang smiled and said: "It's interesting that a Dao companion of a direct disciple of the Eastern Xuan Sect wants to join the Demon Subduing Sect, but it's not a rare thing."

"Where is your Dao companion, bring her over and let me see her."

With Real Person Ningguang's consent, Chen Ping was able to bring Mu Luofei into the main hall of the Demon Subduing Sect.

Real Person Ningguang swept his sword-like eyes over Mu Luofei, and啧了一声: "Good! I'll accept this disciple!"

"Her bone age is only over twenty, and she is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, with pure mana. My Demon Subduing Sect needs such elite disciples!"

Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh: "The Demon Subduing Sect cultivators are really straightforward."

Mu Luofei immediately bowed: "Disciple greets Master!"

"Hahaha, good disciple!" Real Person Ningguang laughed:

"Wait a moment and follow this seat back to the sect to assess your sword cultivation inheritance!"

"Junior Brother Cheng Ping, if you have time now, talk to your Dao companion, you won't be able to see each other for a short time."

At this moment, Mu Luofei's eyes showed reluctance, but her beautiful eyes looked at Chen Ping expectantly.

Chen Ping said with a faint smile: "Senior Brother Ningguang doesn't need to be so polite, just take her back to the sect to participate in the sword cultivation inheritance. The sooner you leave, the sooner you will meet again in the future."

Chen Ping's words were very much to the liking of sword cultivators like Real Person Ningguang: "That's right, we sword cultivators shouldn't be so sentimental."

Mu Luofei followed Real Person Ningguang and said: "Junior Brother, I look forward to seeing you again in the future~"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Senior Sister, make sure your own safety is the most important thing."

Mu Luofei nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes full of affection, and then turned into a stream of light with Real Person Ningguang, disappearing in place.

"This separation, I don't know how many years it will take to see each other again..." Chen Ping watched Mu Luofei leave, and felt a sense of emptiness and sadness in his heart.

But compared to the temporary sadness, if they can't advance to the Golden Core stage next year, it will really make them regret it for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the direct disciple token on Chen Ping's waist vibrated, and then Bai Jianjia's voice sounded: "Junior Brother is in the East Wilderness Immortal City?"

"Come to the sect's main hall to find me."

Chen Ping felt puzzled. Bai Jianjia was busy, and she must have returned to the East Wilderness Immortal City after sending Meng Huang'er back to the sect to become a disciple.

Chen Ping went to the main hall of the Eastern Xuan Sect area.

He saw Bai Jianjia looking at him with a solemn expression: "Junior Brother, something has changed in the Long Sky Secret Realm."

"Junior Brother's spot in the Long Sky Secret Realm may be unstable."

Chen Ping looked puzzled: "I am a direct disciple of the master, isn't there a fixed spot?"

Bai Jianjia slowly shook her head and said: "The master was able to forcibly accept Junior Brother as a direct disciple back then, and today there are also Nascent Soul Supremes who dare to forcibly change the rules of the secret realm."

"Strictly speaking, Junior Brother does have a fixed spot."

"But the last time I returned to the sect, I received news that a Nascent Soul Supreme had established a Long Sky Secret Realm Ranking, and only the top 100 people on the list can go to the Long Sky Secret Realm in five years."

"Junior Brother will have to return to the sect to accept duels from others... if you win, the spot will be stable."

"If you lose in the duel, the spot will be gone."

"The master can't interfere in this matter, the master actually supports this matter, because the master also needs allies."

Chen Ping nodded slowly: "I understand what Senior Sister said, the Long Sky Secret Realm Ranking is promoted by several Nascent Soul Supremes in the sect, it's not aimed at me alone."

"But some people think that I, a direct disciple, am not good enough, and want to target me and seize my spot in the Long Sky Secret Realm?"

Bai Jianjia nodded slowly:

"That's right, that's exactly the case."

Chen Ping's expression remained unchanged: "I understand, I will return to the sect later."

If possible, he didn't want to return to the sect, it was so comfortable and free to stay in the Floating Light Workshop.

Now that he has returned to the sect, he will have to face open and secret struggles.

However, Chen Ping's combat power and state of mind are already different from when he first joined the Eastern Xuan Sect decades ago.

Chen Ping asked: "Senior Sister, what good things are there in this Long Sky Secret Realm that are worth the Nascent Soul Supremes changing the rules?"

Bai Jianjia hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I originally wanted to tell you later, but it doesn't matter if I tell Junior Brother in advance now."

"There are fourth-order spiritual medicines in the Long Sky Secret Realm. If you have good enough luck, you can get fourth-order spiritual medicines, which can allow Golden Cores to advance to Nascent Souls."

"In the Eastern Region cultivation world, there are only two ways to advance to Nascent Soul, the first is the Long Sky Secret Realm, and the second is the Heavenly Maiden Tears produced by the Wonderful Desire Tower."

"The spots for the Heavenly Maiden Tears are allocated to the four sects by the Wonderful Desire Tower, just like our Eastern Xuan Sect's Three Lights Divine Water, which must be allocated to the four sects."

"This leads to a long wait for the Three Lights Divine Water."

Chen Ping immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

Who wouldn't want to fight for the resources to advance to Nascent Soul, which can bypass the rules of the four sects and be obtained additionally?

Bai Jianjia said to Chen Ping:

"In the future, if Junior Brother enters the Long Sky Secret Realm, Senior Sister would also like to ask Junior Brother to see if he can find fourth-order spiritual medicines, this is very important to Senior Sister."

Chen Ping nodded and said: "That's natural."

Over the years, Bai Jianjia has been really good to Chen Ping, making Chen Ping owe Bai Jianjia a lot of favors.

Now, Chen Ping needs to repay these accumulated favors in the Long Sky Secret Realm.

Bai Jianjia looked at Chen Ping with gentle eyes:

"I have high hopes for Junior Brother."

Because the Long Sky Secret Realm exists, the Golden Core Real Persons of the Eastern Xuan Sect will do their best to cultivate their disciples.

Chen Ping cupped his fist and said: "I will do my best in the future."

Bai Jianjia nodded slightly:

"If Junior Brother has nothing else to do, follow me back to the sect later to confirm the matter of the Long Sky Secret Realm spot."

"Okay." Chen Ping nodded: "I'll trouble Senior Sister to wait for me for a while, I have to deal with some miscellaneous matters in the East Wilderness Immortal City."

He went to inform Madam Guo that the profits and resources of the Floating Light Workshop would be transported to the Eastern Xuan Sect for him, across a distance of more than 20,000 miles.

There are still five years before the Long Sky Secret Realm, Chen Ping wants to break through to the third-order body cultivator!
