Mortal Alchemy

Looking at the final heavenly tribulation, with lightning like rain,

Scenes of Ji Changsheng undergoing his Golden Core tribulation flashed through Chen Ping's mind.

“This body cultivator's heavenly tribulation is much weaker than the immortal dao's heavenly tribulation.”

“Even the heavens look down on body cultivators?”

The final tribulation of the Golden Core tribulation is the inner demon tribulation, but advancing to a third-order body cultivator only involves a few simple lightning tribulations.

“Boom!”

The lightning struck, turning everything within a hundred zhang of Chen Ping into dust.

“Ah!!!” This final lightning was continuous like rain, not ending in an instant, blasting Chen Ping's flesh and bones apart, even exposing his bone marrow, making it extremely tragic.

Even though Chen Ping could endure pain very well, he screamed repeatedly under this lightning.

This was a good sign because Chen Ping still had the strength to scream, indicating that he had not reached the brink of death.

Which meant that Chen Ping had passed this lightning tribulation.

...

In the Water Pavilion.

Immortal Jing Tian and the Golden Core cultivators of the four sects witnessed Chen Ping's tribulation in its entirety.

The Golden Core cultivator of the Demon Subduing Sect said, “A tiger father has no dog sons. Junior Brother Chengping passed this lightning tribulation cleanly.”

“Junior Sister Jianjia, congratulations.”

Although a third-order body cultivator is not a Golden Core, they truly have a third-order cultivation. Chen Ping joined Immortal Gong Yue's sect and advanced to a third-order body cultivator in about thirty years, which is obviously remarkable talent.

However, Bai Jianjia's expression remained unchanged, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

...

Chen Ping advanced to a third-order body cultivator on the first day he entered the Changtian Secret Realm, which is enough to show that the resources of this Changtian Secret Realm are quite abundant.

After the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Chen Ping completely entered the realm of a third-order body cultivator.

With golden skin and jade meridians, indestructible by metal and stone magic tools, Chen Ping could even use his physical body to contend against third-order magic treasures, further enhancing his combat power and life-saving methods.

Chen Ping's injuries were rapidly recovering. At the same time, he discovered the last benefit after advancing to a third-order body cultivator:

“Bone marrow like jade, a richer life aura, this is the benefit brought by the water spirit marrow.”

Choosing different third-order spiritual herbs to improve cultivation will also correspondingly affect the body's transformation.

Chen Ping originally had more than two hundred years of lifespan. Now, after advancing to a third-order body cultivator, he could clearly sense his lifespan limit!

“Three hundred and eighty years old…”

“This lifespan is already equivalent to the lifespan of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.”

Joy welled up in Chen Ping's heart.

Including the cultivation technique, he now had a 70% chance of successfully advancing to the Golden Core stage.

“I only need the six ingredients of the Golden Spirit Attraction Pill, and I will have a 100% chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage!” Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel excited.

Immediately, Chen Ping suppressed his mind and emotions and began to meditate in place, completely stabilizing his third-order realm.

In a flash, half a month passed.

And the Water Pavilion had already switched the scene.

Since learning that Dao Spirit Root Luo Daoliu had entered the Changtian Secret Realm, everyone had focused their attention on Luo Daoliu.

Bai Jianjia's face was even more gloomy:

“…In half a month, this Luo Daoliu has killed forty elites from various sects. No Foundation Establishment cultivator can withstand two strikes from him.”

The most deadly thing is that this Luo Daoliu is searching everywhere for Chen Ping's whereabouts, clearly intending to kill Chen Ping.

The jade slip method left by Li Xuan before his death allowed Luo Daoliu to search and track Chen Ping along a general direction.

Luo Daoliu was extremely angry when he learned that Li Xuan had been killed.

His speed alone might be slow, but Luo Daoliu directly enslaved dozens of cultivators from the four sects to search for Chen Ping's whereabouts together for him.

If the disciples of the various sects did not comply, Luo Daoliu would kill them, forcing these four sect cultivators to swear a heart demon oath to find Chen Ping, so that they could live.

The total number of four sect disciples who entered the Changtian Secret Realm was about two hundred and eighty.

This Luo Daoliu directly enslaved thirty Foundation Establishment disciples.

“Not good.” Luo Kui's expression changed slightly: “They have found the area where Junior Brother Chengping is meditating.”

Bai Jianjia's eyes were even more anxious, her knuckles turning white: “Junior Brother, you must escape!”

Chen Ping was at the end of his retreat when the Treasure Hunting Mink suddenly turned into a silver light and rushed in front of him, crying anxiously: “Ying ying ying!”

Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed:

“Mink Brother, do you mean that many people have come near me?”

“Ying!”

As soon as the sound fell.

“Boom!!”

The second-order formation that Chen Ping had casually arranged was shattered: “Hmm? Someone is inside?”

“Hehe, it must be the enemy that Senior Brother Luo is looking for. I can finally be free.” The newcomer was another disciple of the Heaven-Born Sect, with a peak Foundation Establishment aura. As soon as the other party destroyed the formation, he sensed Chen Ping's existence with his divine sense.

In the Water Pavilion, the scene moved to Chen Ping again.

As soon as Chen Ping got up, the Treasure Hunting Mink burrowed into his sleeve, his eyes cold. He drew his sword and rushed towards the peak Foundation Establishment disciple:

“Senior Brother Luo's enemy? What do you mean? Can you tell me about it?”

When the Heaven-Born Sect disciple saw Chen Ping attacking him, he did not use spiritual power. The power of his physical body alone made his speed so fast that he left afterimages, which immediately made his hair stand on end. He quickly retreated:

“You have been targeted by our Heaven-Born Sect's Eldest Senior Brother, Dao Spirit Root Luo. You are waiting to die!”

In his words, the Heaven-Born Sect disciple felt terrified. Sure enough, it was this person. It seemed that Second Senior Brother Li Xuan had died at this person's hands. While he was retreating violently, he cast a spell to send the message out.

At this moment, Chen Ping's Aurora Sword slashed down.

“Chila—”

Chen Ping didn't even use sword energy. This sword slashed down with a force of up to 30,000 jin, directly splitting the Heaven-Born Sect disciple's body in half!

The Heaven-Born Sect disciple's eyes were full of horror and disbelief, and he died without closing his eyes.

Chen Ping squatted down and searched his space ring.

At this moment, a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes appeared behind Chen Ping.

This young man was handsome and unruly, with a sinister aura, holding a large knife that did not match his temperament.

Across the distance, he swung a knife at Chen Ping!

“Boom!”

With one slash, a torrent of violent spiritual power like a blood river poured towards Chen Ping!

In an instant, the hairs on Chen Ping's body stood on end, and an unprecedented sense of death crisis surged into his mind, heading straight for his crown, making his scalp tingle!

“The strongest enemy I've encountered so far!”

Without thinking, Chen Ping unleashed a Green Lotus Sword Qi.

“Tear—”

The knife and sword Qi collided, sparks flew, and a metallic collision sound was emitted.

Then Chen Ping's sword Qi was no match for the knife Qi and actually collapsed. The remaining knife Qi rushed straight towards Chen Ping at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Ping immediately activated the Green Lotus Shadow, turning into a rainbow and retreating violently, but the speed of the knife Qi was even faster!

Chen Ping had no choice but to raise his hand and shatter the remaining knife Qi.

“Sword Qi made of steel? Third-order body cultivator? Not bad cultivation…” Luo Daoliu said coldly:

“Unfortunately, you still have to die!”

A knife chant erupted from his body, the gale howled, and his figure disappeared in place. In the next instant, he appeared in front of Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme!
