Mortal Alchemy

Besides the blood horn, is it worth two spirit stones?

If my combat power is strong, I can kill monsters to make money, but the consumption of flying magic weapons is not low, not to mention the consumption of bigu pills and qi-returning pills, which will also delay the progress of cultivation.

The most important thing is that it is relatively dangerous.

Chen Ping must have the materials of the blood-horned red bull; otherwise, he would not want to rush eight thousand miles to take risks.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Then you can kill more monsters to make up for the loss."

Mu Luofei's beautiful eyes were a little embarrassed: "I want to, but my combat power is not as good as Junior Brother Chen."

She still couldn't understand why she entered the tenth level of Qi Refining two years earlier than Chen Ping, but her combat power was not as good as Chen Ping, who had just reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Ping defused the situation and said, "I also took advantage of the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. The ice-cold sword energy happens to restrain this kind of monster."

"Senior Sister, don't worry, it's just an experience anyway, and making money is just a matter of convenience."

Mu Luofei was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly:

"Junior Brother Chen, I never realized you would take care of people like this before."

Chen Ping raised his sword and looked at the swamp. Another blood-horned red bull was hooked:

"Senior Sister Luofei, would you like to take action first?"

"Okay." Mu Luofei nodded in agreement.

With Chen Ping as a backup, Mu Luofei was not as panicked as before.

She used the ice-blue jade hairpin to attack.

This time she was smart and didn't fight head-on. The jade hairpin rose into the air and then shot vertically at the neck of the blood-horned red bull.

"Chirp—"

"Roar—"

The jade hairpin hit the blood-horned red bull, smashing a fist-sized blood hole, causing the blood-horned red bull to let out an angry and painful moo.

Mu Luofei's beautiful eyes showed a hint of joy: "Junior Brother Chen, I succeeded!"

Although it was not as good as Chen Ping's one-shot kill of the blood-horned red bull, her achievement was still a significant improvement.

Chen Ping laughed and said, "Senior Sister Luofei, I'll finish it off."

He raised his sword and rushed out. Ice-cold sword energy surged out, and he cut off the head of the blood-horned red bull with one sword.

His idea was to collect as many blood horns as possible and collect the demon bone blood inside before Mu Luofei left, and then go to Tianyin Tower, two thousand miles away, to do the task given by Mu Xingling.

Anyway, Mu Xingling's task has no time limit.

As long as he has enough alchemy materials on hand, he doesn't have to rush back to the Mu family.

In the evening, the two took the white jade flying boat to a nearby town or village to rest.

Although eating can be solved with bigu pills, Mu Luofei is a delicate and beautiful woman. After a day, she is covered in fragrant sweat and needs to take a bath and have a good rest.

Fortunately, there is a cultivator gathering place fifty miles away from the Red Bull Swamp, providing food and accommodation.

It is not troublesome to return to the swamp.

This cultivator gathering place is mostly composed of early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and there is not even a single late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

This made Chen Ping puzzled and surprised.

Mu Luofei explained: "There is no good spiritual vein in this kind of gathering place. Just sitting and practicing makes the spiritual energy mottled and the cultivation speed very slow."

"The Mu family has strict rules. Strictly speaking, it is a force under the Eastern Xuanzong. The family has a deep foundation, so even if the Mu family is very poor, most cultivators would rather stay in the Mu family."

"At least it's safe, and you don't have to live this precarious life."

Chen Ping nodded. Although these small cultivators have a hard life, they are free and unrestrained. However, it is even more difficult to produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator like this.

The two took a bath and then came to the inn for dinner.

The wine and meat provided here were all things that Chen Ping had never seen in the Mu family. No matter how delicious the Mu family's food was, he would get tired of eating it for more than ten years.

Chen Ping enjoyed it and ate to his heart's content.

Mu Luofei chewed slowly, taking small bites, eating some but not much.

Chen Ping asked in confusion: "Senior Sister Luofei, why don't you eat more?"

A blush flashed across Mu Luofei's pretty face, and she explained: "I can't afford to buy beauty pills. To maintain my appearance, I have to eat less."

Chen Ping thought that Mu Luofei was used to living a life of luxury and couldn't eat the crude food of this gathering place.

As far as Chen Ping was concerned, he lived in a cowshed when he was a child and ate a corn bun every day, so he could eat any kind of food.

He didn't expect that Mu Luofei ate so little to maintain her beauty.

However, the beauty pill is a first-order top-grade pill, and the materials are extremely rare. It is considered the most expensive pill among first-order pills.

If he had the materials, he could refine beauty pills.

Late at night, after eating and drinking, the two were ready to rest and called the boss to prepare to open a room.

Chen Ping said, "Boss, please open two good rooms."

"Okay." The boss nodded.

Mu Luofei shook her head slightly, blushing and whispering: "Junior Brother Chen, just open one room."

Chen Ping was stunned, but he didn't think about the relationship between men and women. He followed Mu Luofei's wishes and only opened one room.

Under the boss's meaningful and ambiguous gaze, Mu Luofei and Chen Ping entered a large room.

Mu Luofei gently patted the storage bag, took out a set of array flags from it, arranged them in every corner of the room, pinched the seal, chanted the mantra, and the entire room was enveloped by a restriction array.

Mu Luofei breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Chen Ping:

"Junior Brother Chen, this is not as safe as under the rule of the Eastern Xuanzong. It's not as safe as we imagined."

"With a restriction array, we can rest assured."

Chen Ping nodded: "Senior Sister Luofei is still considering everything comprehensively."

He didn't expect this at all.

Then Mu Luofei looked around the room, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes were a little flustered: "There is only one cloud bed!"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It's okay, Senior Sister Luofei, I'll just meditate and rest. You sleep on the cloud bed."

Mu Luofei nodded slightly, but she didn't refuse pretentiously. She generously went to the cloud bed, took off her shoes, didn't take off her ice silk socks, and slept in her clothes.

Chen Ping sat by the tea table by the window, closing his eyes and meditating.

He was used to this kind of hard life in the Dan Medicine Hall.

Mu Luofei only pretended to sleep for a while before falling into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she was a little nervous. She opened her eyes and saw that Chen Ping was still meditating and cultivating hard, so she relaxed and couldn't help but admire:

"Junior Brother Chen is really amazing. He has been cultivating hard like this and has never been lazy or rested."

She put on her shoes and socks, tidied up her appearance, and then woke up Chen Ping: "Junior Brother Chen, it's time to leave."

Chen Ping slowly withdrew from his meditation state, opened his eyes, and there was a look of exhaustion in his eyes:

"Okay, Senior Sister Luofei."

"Let's go, let's see how many blood-horned red bulls we can kill today!"

The two flew out of the inn and came outside the swamp.

Chen Ping frowned slightly: "Senior Sister Luofei, some cultivators are following us."

Mu Luofei said with a smile: "The weak are prey to the strong. We can kill blood-horned red bulls. They are following behind to see if they can pick up any leaks and take the opportunity to earn some spirit stones."

"Junior Brother Chen, let's exchange defenses to prevent being attacked and picking up leaks."

Chen Ping showed a bright smile: "No problem."

Don't even think about taking food from his hands.

This is related to the materials for his Foundation Establishment path. Whoever dares to cut off his Foundation Establishment path must die.
