Mortal Alchemy

#292 - Chapter 292 Chen Ping's plan, Zhou Ying agrees

Half a month later, Chen Ping received the jade slip list from Bai Jianjia.

There were three peaks with bad relations with Gongyue Peak.

They were Nan Zhi Peak, Luofu Peak, and Yunlin Peak.

The information on the jade slip was shocking.

Chen Ping summarized that the struggle within the Foundation Establishment disciples could be summarized as 'contention'.

Then the struggle among the Golden Core cultivators within the Eastern Xuan Sect was 'fight'.

The open fight was extremely fierce.

When going on missions together, they could use dirty tricks and curses against fellow disciples for resources and contribution points.

Even Golden Core cultivators would not hesitate to kill the Qi Refining juniors of their opponents, just to ruin their Dao hearts.

All these purposes were to fight for resources and pursue the Great Dao of the Nascent Soul stage.

The Tears of the Celestial Maiden were only allocated two drops to the Eastern Xuan Sect every hundred years.

If you don't fight, the spot might fall into the hands of others, and you yourself will have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Under such circumstances, to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, one can only fight fiercely.

Even joining forces with cultivators from other sects to deal with their own fellow disciples was common.

Even Nascent Soul Sovereigns would personally suppress Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Chen Ping was calm about this.

Firstly, he had already been targeted by Sovereign Yaoguang.

Secondly, he had Ji Changsheng's memories, so he didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Within the Eastern Xuan Sect, you cannot be caught with evidence for anything you do, otherwise, the Punishment Peak will take action.

And these three peaks had all taken action against Sovereign Gongyue and Bai Jianjia.

Chen Ping thought to himself: "There are too few resources, and everyone wants to move up, so such struggles are unavoidable."

This shows another benefit of apprenticing to Sovereign Gongyue, there are only two disciples under her, so there is no internal strife at all.

No wonder Bai Jianjia had been very good to Chen Ping from beginning to end.

Before Sovereign Gongyue advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she even suffered seven waves of assassinations, using puppets, Gu worms, talismans, demonic beasts, curses, and other means.

This was because Sovereign Gongyue came from the Punishment Peak, if it were someone else, perhaps...

Within the Eastern Xuan Sect, there are three major forces, one is the Sect Master, the second is the Punishment Peak, and the third is the Affairs Peak.

"When Huang'er comes out of seclusion, I will talk to her about the Changtian Secret Realm..."

A look of decisiveness and ruthlessness flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.

Since the Changtian Secret Realm involves Golden Core and even Nascent Soul resources, then there can be no procrastination or weakness.

If Meng Huang'er doesn't have a spot, then snatch one over!

Chen Ping continued to cultivate in seclusion, ignoring the outside world.

Half a year later, Zhou Ying came to Chen Ping again, mainly to bring the materials and spiritual medicines Chen Ping needed, and then she opened her mouth and said:

"...Senior Brother, Junior Sister wants to participate in the Changtian Secret Realm."

Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will tell you about the spot now."

"Half a year later, you pick a time to go to the arena and invite me to fight, and then I will deliberately lose to Junior Sister."

"Then, in public, you can also make a lot of spirit stones by betting."

"After Junior Sister takes my spot, immediately go into seclusion and do not accept challenges from others, so although your reputation will be tarnished, no one can take the spot for the Changtian Secret Realm from Junior Sister's hands."

"Secondly, you have to inform your master at the Talisman Peak and let them protect you and not hand you over."

"Finally, Junior Sister has to change someone to deliver the supplies."

A blush climbed onto Zhou Ying's snow-white neck, and her beautiful eyes were filled with throbbing: "Senior Brother Chen, you gave me your spot, then what about you..."

Chen Ping sneered: "Naturally, someone else will give me one."

The Changtian Secret Realm challenge has loopholes in the rules, if others do not accept the challenge, you can't do anything about it.

This rule loophole should be prepared for Yan Xiuyang and other Nascent Soul's children.

Otherwise, how could many Nascent Soul Sovereigns vigorously promote the Changtian Secret Realm rankings?

Chen Ping looked at Zhou Ying playfully: "Junior Sister Zhou, are you ready to owe me a big favor?"

Zhou Ying's earlobes turned pink immediately, her beautiful eyes had a throbbing and shy light, and she bit her red lips lightly:

"Junior Sister is ready, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to open my mouth to Senior Brother."

Chen Ping nodded slowly: "Okay, then Junior Sister, go back and prepare. In the following time, you have to refine more Tier 2 high-quality talismans."

Zhou Ying gave a graceful salute: "Yes, Senior Brother, Junior Sister will remember."

She twisted her lotus steps and left with her upturned buttocks, her back was extremely alluring, like a ripe peach.

Chen Ping also went to Bai Jianjia. In the following time, the Punishment Peak disciples began to intentionally or unintentionally look for trouble with the Nan Zhi Peak, Luofu Peak, and Yunlin Peak disciples.

Chen Ping continued to refine pills and improve his body cultivation.

Time marched into the seventeenth year of the demon tide war, and Sovereign Gongyue was still outside with many Punishment Peak disciples busy.

Half a year arrived.

Zhou Ying brought many fellow disciples from her sect outside Gongyue Peak, like Yang Tiansi, and challenged Chen Ping.

This news surprised many people.

"Zhou Ying? A Talisman Peak disciple dares to challenge Martial Uncle Chen Ping?"

"Never heard of it, haha, it should be seeking humiliation."

"This Zhou Ying's appearance is excellent."

Chen Ping gladly accepted the challenge.

Arriving outside the arena.

Many people immediately began to bet:

"Five thousand spirit stones, bet on Martial Uncle Chen Ping!"

"I also bet six thousand spirit stones..."

Chen Ping took out 20,000 spirit stones: "I bet on myself to win..."

"Okay, Martial Uncle Chen Ping, please keep your betting ticket."

"What is my odds right now?"

"Martial Uncle Chen Ping's odds are five to one."

Chen Ping nodded slightly: "It's dropped so much..."

Zhou Ying came to the betting table: "Eighty thousand spirit stones, I bet on myself to win."

A huge uproar immediately erupted at the scene: "Eighty thousand spirit stones!"

"This Junior Sister is really generous!"

"Are Tier 2 talisman masters so rich?"

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot save so much money in their entire lives.

Zhou Ying was able to have so many spirit stones by following Chen Ping.

"This Talisman Peak Junior Sister is betting 80,000 spirit stones on herself, she is really confident in her strength."

"Foundation Establishment Intermediate stage against Foundation Establishment Late stage, and the opponent is Martial Uncle Chen Ping, does this Zhou Ying have any trump cards?"

Chen Ping and Zhou Ying walked onto the arena, and the Golden Core cultivator from the Punishment Peak read the rules by rote and glanced at Zhou Ying in surprise.

"Begin!"

The voice fell!

"Swish swish swish!"

Twelve Tier 2 high-quality talismans flew from Zhou Ying's fingertips and immediately formed an encirclement around Chen Ping.

Then they exploded all together, shaking everyone's eyes.

To make the act complete, the water cannot be released so obviously.

"Boom!!!"

A violent explosion sounded, and Chen Ping flew out in embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards—

Zhou Ying's white and crystal-clear fingers pinched an extremely complex and ancient talisman.

Immediately someone exclaimed in a loss of voice: "Ancient Talisman!"

"Rumble!!!"
