Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping returned the over fifty thousand spirit stones he owed her, as the previous few bottles of Life Extension Pills were worth several thousand spirit stones.

He told Zhou Ying to go back and wait for news, and also asked her to help him purchase some spiritual objects.

Zhou Ying readily agreed.

In fact, she owed Chen Ping quite a few favors.

The Changtian Secret Realm was very important to her. If she could enter it, she and Madam Guo might have a chance to acquire resources for the Golden Core stage.

Although the prices in East Barren Immortal City were expensive, they could still buy second-order spiritual objects, but third-order spiritual objects were strictly controlled by the sects, and they had no channels to access them.

She left the East Xuan Sect and arrived at East Barren Immortal City, where she met with Madam Guo.

Madam Guo looked at Zhou Ying with a suggestive gaze upon hearing this:

"Ying'er, if Chen Ping can get you into the Changtian Secret Realm, why don't you just follow him and become his concubine?"

Zhou Ying's beautiful eyes showed a hint of hesitation, and she bit her red lips lightly, her tone somewhat unwilling:

"...Mother."

Madam Guo sighed and said, "Ying'er, Chen Ping is already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. In a few more years, he will be able to advance to the Golden Core stage."

"Although you will be able to accumulate enough merit points in a few more years to exchange for Three Lights Divine Water,"

"Are you sure your remaining lifespan can wait that long?"

"Can Mother wait for third-order spiritual objects?"

"If you become Chen Ping's concubine, you can whisper sweet words in his ear and let him help you cut in line to exchange for Three Lights Divine Water."

"That way, you can advance to the Golden Core stage sooner, and Mother will have a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage in this lifetime."

Tears welled up in Zhou Ying's beautiful eyes: "Yes, Mother, I will think about it carefully."

Madam Guo held her hand and persuaded, "Ying'er, opportunity waits for no one."

"Chen Ping has previously revealed his thoughts about you. He is still in the Foundation Establishment stage, and not many people are paying attention to him. Once he advances to the Golden Core stage, you may have to wait in line even if you want to be his concubine."

"There are too many women who are more beautiful than our mother and daughter, not to mention those cauldrons who can help Chen Ping with dual cultivation."

Madam Guo had also experienced ups and downs, and she looked at problems from a more long-term perspective.

Zhou Ying fell silent and said nothing more.

...

East Xuan Sect, Moon Palace Peak.

Chen Ping was drinking tea with Bai Jianjia, and Chen Ping was puzzled: "Four months have passed, why hasn't anyone continued to challenge me?"

Bai Jianjia said with a smile: "Your last move crippled Yang Tiansi. These people are not stupid. After a few months, they must have thoroughly investigated your information."

Chen Ping's eyes were deep: "Isn't this because Senior Sister specially helped me make a name for myself in East Barren Immortal City?"

The truth was indeed as Bai Jianjia said.

Chen Ping advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in more than twenty years. Not only did he possess a third-order sword treasure and a secret technique for divine soul attacks, but he also had the reputation of fighting eighteen demonic cultivators alone in East Barren Immortal City and killing them all.

What a waste with floating magic power! This was clearly an elite who was about to rise.

Asking themselves, their strength was not enough to face demonic cultivators.

Moreover, the disturbance Chen Ping caused in the East Xuan Sect's Exchange Hall was also spread out. Chen Ping inherited the Sword Dao mantle of Palace Master Gongyue.

With these many elements combined, many people who wanted to pick up a bargain and step on Chen Ping to enter the Changtian Secret Realm were immediately numb.

Chen Ping was so fierce, how could ordinary Foundation Establishment peaks withstand it?

In an environment like the East Xuan Sect, no cultivator who could cultivate to the late or even peak stage of Foundation Establishment at a suitable age without a particularly good background was a fool.

Chen Ping asked, "Senior Sister, how is my Junior Sister... Huang'er doing?"

Bai Jianjia said: "Your little lover has good aptitude. She has a natural pure Yang and pure Yin energy in her body, which is suitable for learning the path of music. This Dao is remarkable."

"The path of music?" Chen Ping was puzzled and felt a little unfamiliar.

"That's right, the path of music." Bai Jianjia said: "What does Junior Brother think of the Celestial Music Sect?"

Chen Ping pondered: "The Celestial Music Sect is lecherous, has no fixed rules, and values bloodline and identity."

Bai Jianjia said: "The four major sects in the East Region of the Immortal Cultivation World were all passed down from the Immortal Sect in the Central Region. Like our four sects, to go to the Immortal Sect in the Central Region, we must rely on the means of the Celestial Music Sect."

"And the reason why the Celestial Music Sect can control such means on behalf of the Immortal Sect is because of the path of music."

"We cultivators have longevity, but sooner or later we will be disturbed by the affairs of the mortal world, causing our Dao hearts to be covered in dust."

"And this path of music can cleanse the divine soul and Dao heart, and can increase the probability of advancing to the God Transformation stage by a full 20%."

"In the East Region of the Immortal Cultivation World, there are almost no fifth-order pills. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to advance to the God Transformation stage, in addition to their own efforts, they must rely on the path of music of the Celestial Music Sect."

"And the path of music can only be cultivated by cultivators with special spiritual bodies. For example, your little lover, if she maintains her pure Yin virgin body, she can join the Celestial Music Sect's God Transformation song in the future."

"So Junior Brother, your blessing is really not shallow."

Chen Ping's expression was shocked: "...The path of music is so powerful, there are such details."

The four sects in the East Region of the Immortal Cultivation World.

The East Xuan Sect holds the Three Lights Divine Water, which is a resource for advancing to the Golden Core stage.

The Wonderful Desire Tower has the Tears of a Celestial Maiden, which is a resource for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Celestial Music Sect has the path of music, which is a resource for advancing to the God Transformation stage.

These are the trump cards of each sect. Even if they are destroyed, they will never let outsiders know. No wonder the Celestial Music Sect and the Wonderful Desire Tower are evil, but the Demon Subduing Sect did not attack them.

What shocked Chen Ping was that he didn't expect Meng Huang'er to have such an important aptitude.

Chen Ping rubbed his chin and asked, "Then Huang'er will be given key care and training by the sect in the future?"

Meng Huang'er herself was a spiritual body and could enter the Punishment Peak, surpassing most disciples. Now she can also cultivate the path of music, which is even more special.

"That's right." Bai Jianjia nodded: "In the future, your little concubine will be given key training and will not participate in more dangerous missions. The sect will at least cultivate her to the Golden Core stage.

She will be allowed to concentrate on studying and practicing the path of music."

Meng Huang'er's name contains the word "Huang" (phoenix), she truly has extraordinary luck!

Chen Ping was sincerely happy for Meng Huang'er.

Chen Ping rubbed his chin and thought: "...Then it would be better to take Senior Sister Meng into the Changtian Secret Realm."

Meng Huang'er had only entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and Chen Ping was relatively poor at the moment. If he wanted her cultivation to progress faster, it would be best to go to the Changtian Secret Realm.

"Senior Sister, when can I see Huang'er?"

Bai Jianjia calculated with her fingers: "It will probably take another year for her to comprehend the initial inheritance."

Chen Ping nodded: "It's not too long."

"Senior Sister, do you know who on the Changtian Secret Realm list has a bad relationship with us?"

Bai Jianjia raised her eyebrows slightly: "Junior Brother, what are you going to do?"

Chen Ping showed a smile: "Please trouble Senior Sister to help me collect the list. I may use it next."

Bai Jianjia didn't ask the specific reason, but just nodded and agreed.

Since no one came to challenge Chen Ping, Chen Ping had to find a way himself.
