Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping changed into a set of clothes.

At the same time, he tore open the invisibility talisman and the thousand-face talisman, and activated the Turtle Breath Technique, adjusting his cultivation aura from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

Then, taking advantage of the night, he set off from the back door, secretly following Hong An's trail.

Under the night sky.

There were many fishing boats and flying magical instruments fishing on the lake surface.

Looking at it, it was dense and numerous, like the Milky Way in the sky.

Chen Ping frowned slightly: "This commotion is too big."

However, the bigger the commotion, the more suitable it was for him to fish in troubled waters.

Hong An left the crowd and headed towards a remote and uninhabited corner.

Chen Ping followed closely.

An hour later, Hong An went to a crescent-shaped island.

Hong An looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he walked into the cave on this island.

The cave was extremely dark, almost invisible, Chen Ping didn't know what Hong An and Zhao Han had arranged here, he followed how Hong An walked.

Walking to the bottom of the cave, there was a red light.

Chen Ping didn't get too close to the two of them, and listened to them talking.

Hong An said: "Old Zhao, Fellow Daoist Tang is going to retreat, and didn't agree to come over."

Zhao Han coughed a few times, his face was pale and bloodless, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"Below this pool, there is a fish nest of Flame Blade Spirit Fish. There are not only dozens of Flame Blade Spirit Fish, but also a fish king that has developed demonic power."

Flame Blade Fish King?

Chen Ping was a little surprised, a fish king with demonic power, this is a bit remarkable.

His heart was fiery, once he captured this fish king, he might be able to know whether there is Jade Marrow Fungus on this Myriad Lake Island.

Unexpectedly, Hong An concealed such information.

Zhao Han's next sentence made Chen Ping's hair stand on end:

"Without human sacrifice, it is impossible to fish out this fish king at all."

Hong An frowned and said, "Old Zhao, I also know what you said, but Fellow Daoist Tang is not coming, where can we coax someone over for sacrifice?"

Chen Ping's heart turned cold, this Hong An actually wanted to trick him over for sacrifice.

Really insidious.

Zhao Han suddenly grinned: "Old Hong, didn't you come here?"

Hong An's face changed drastically: "Zhao Han, you!"

Zhao Han immediately activated several talismans that had been arranged nearby, with a grin on his face:

"Old Hong, you are so old, you have no hope of foundation building, and sooner or later you will be a handful of yellow earth, it is better to fulfill me!"

"Chih! Chih! Chih!"

Several talismans erupted with powerful force, instantly piercing Hong An's body into a sieve.

Hong An's eyes widened, his breath cut off, he died with regret, unable to believe that a neighbor who had known him for more than ten years would kill him like this.

Chen Ping watched coldly, this Hong An wanted to harm him but failed, instead his life was lost in Zhao Han's hands, it was also deserved.

He didn't expect this Zhao Han, who seemed to have kidney deficiency and was in poor health, to be so cruel.

To sacrifice his life to fish for the fish king, could it be that he also knows the news of the Jade Marrow Fungus?

Zhao Han threw Hong An's body into the water cave, and then pinched his fingers, chanting words in his mouth:

"Heaven is born above, the old mother knows, the ultimate bliss in the world..."

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes: "This Zhao Han is a disciple from the Heavenly Birth Sect?"

The Eastern Region cultivation world does not have pure demonic sects. This Heavenly Birth Sect and Wonderful Desire Tower both take crooked paths, but this is the first time he has seen the methods of the Heavenly Birth Sect.

Just as Zhao Han chanted, Hong An's body began to decompose, and the water surface began to gradually boil.

A huge and terrifying shadow began to emerge from under the water cave, emitting a powerful demonic power that was palpitating.

"This kind of demonic power, half-step second-order? Equivalent to a half-step foundation-building cultivator of the human race..." Chen Ping's face was a little ugly, but he didn't leave immediately.

He wanted to see what Zhao Han was going to do with the fish king.

He couldn't help but suspect that this fish king was already a half-step second-order monster, only one step away from being a second-order monster.

Chen Ping combined the news of the Jade Marrow Fungus and deduced a conclusion that this half-step second-order fish king was probably waiting for the Jade Marrow Fungus to mature, and then eat the Jade Marrow Fungus to become a second-order monster.

Zhao Han smiled when he saw the huge shadow under the water: "Fish King, Fish King, listen to my orders and offer all the Flame Blade Spirit Fish to me."

"Take me to your lair."

Suddenly, the water surface exploded.

The fish king swallowed Hong An's body in one bite, and the huge fish demon body emerged. Its appearance was hideous, its teeth were extremely sharp, and its eyes had human-like intelligence.

Zhao Han waited for a moment, and the fish king moved, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards Zhao Han.

Zhao Han's face turned pale: "Not good! Not enough sacrifices, the spell backfired..."

"Ah!!!"

He immediately wanted to run, but the fish king bit his arm.

"Tear--"

Zhao Han's arm was immediately bitten off and swallowed by the fish king, and blood spurted out of Zhao Han's body like a spring.

"Ah!" Zhao Han screamed with a pale face, and then hurriedly summoned a flying magical instrument and fled outside.

And Chen Ping hadn't left yet, and saw that the fish king's intelligent eyes suddenly turned blood red, and once again submerged under the water.

Chen Ping also did not approach the water cave, thought for a long time, and came to a conclusion that this below is not necessarily the lair of the Flame Blade Spirit Fish.

The Jade Marrow Fungus is not here.

Through the deduction of the past so long, the sporadic appearance of the Flame Blade Spirit Fish before was mostly caused by the Flame Blade Spirit Fish migrating their lair.

This fish king has intelligence. Recently, there are so many people fishing, it will definitely stay far away from the lair to prevent the human race cultivators from finding the lair and digging up the Jade Marrow Fungus.

Thinking about this, the scattered Flame Blade Spirit Fish that appeared in the past few months have been explained.

Then Chen Ping slowly retreated, left the cave, and there were screams outside.

The fiery red fish king was constantly attacking the human race cultivators on the lake.

The water surface was stained red with blood.

"There is a fish king!"

"It's eating people, ascend! Ascend quickly!"

But many low-level cultivators don't have the money to buy flying magical instruments, so they can only rush to the nearby islands.

Some who are slow to act become the food of this fish king.

Chen Ping summoned his flying gourd and slowly ascended:

"Greed harms others and oneself."

Chen Ping's heart was also palpitating. If he hadn't been vigilant and guarded against outsiders, and hadn't been blinded by interests.

Maybe he would have been tricked over and killed by Hong An, losing his life.

Originally, he could have quietly followed this fish king to find the location of the Jade Marrow Fungus, who would have thought that this fish king was mad from Zhao Han's evil magic.

Zhao Han stirred up the water of this Jade Marrow Fungus with his own strength.

"Stay for another half a year, if I can't find the Jade Marrow Fungus, I will leave this place and return to the Mu family after breaking through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining."

Chen Ping drove the flying magical instrument and slowly returned to his residence.

And below, the screams of low-level cultivators continued to sound.

Chen Ping quietly returned to the courtyard, as if he didn't know what was happening outside, took out a pill and continued to refine it to improve his cultivation.
