Mortal Alchemy

In the following period, the fish king's matter caused a great uproar, but the acquisition of Flame Blade Spirit Fish had not yet ended.

It's just that fewer cultivators were willing to enter Lake Island to fish.

Flame Blade Spirit Fish are good, but you must have the life to enjoy them.

Who can deal with that half-step second-order fish king except Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Chen Ping cultivated while exploring everywhere.

As for that Zhao Han, he hid at home to recuperate from his injuries, refusing to see anyone.

In a flash, three months passed.

No one could deal with the fish king who was entrenched in the lake and eating people everywhere.

And the mastermind behind the scenes was still unwilling to give up on the Jade Marrow Mushroom, raising the purchase price of a Flame Blade Spirit Fish from five spirit stones to ten spirit stones.

Heavy rewards are sure to bring forth brave men.

But Chen Ping still gained nothing. Myriad Lake Island was too big, and exploring it one by one would take forever.

He was about to give up on the Jade Marrow Mushroom.

Because the fish king went crazy, scattered Flame Blade Spirit Fish were everywhere in Myriad Island Lake, making it impossible to deduce where the earth vein spirit fire was.

Meanwhile, Chen Ping's progress in entering the thirteenth level of Qi Refining had passed halfway.

More than half of the Qi cyclone spiritual power in his body had been compressed into a mist state, and his own spiritual power and combat power had increased by another 20%.

That is to say, compared to ordinary cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, his spiritual power and combat power exceeded 30%.

The probability of Foundation Establishment increased by half a percent.

Chen Ping pinched his fingers and estimated, "It should take another three months to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining."

Chen Ping took out a Yuan Qi Pill, swallowed it, and began to refine it. Midway through.

A rustling sound suddenly rang in his ears. Chen Ping withdrew from cultivation, opened his eyes, and was stunned.

A silver-white Treasure Seeking Mink appeared in his house, searching for food everywhere.

The man and the beast looked at each other.

The brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink didn't run away. Instead, it opened its mouth and pointed to it with a small paw.

Chen Ping couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Little guy, are you here to ask me for food because you can't find any?"

Unexpectedly, this little thing actually understood Chen Ping's words and nodded very humanly.

Chen Ping gently patted his storage bag and took out a few spiritual herbs for it: "Eat."

Recently, Myriad Island Lake has become chaotic because of that fish king. Could it be that it has also affected the life of this little guy?

The Treasure Seeking Mink wasn't afraid of Chen Ping. It took a few steps forward, smelled the spiritual herbs Chen Ping gave it, and pushed them away as if disgusted.

This made Chen Ping widen his eyes: "You don't eat it? Why?"

The brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink pointed to its mouth again.

Chen Ping fell into silence: "You don't eat spiritual herbs, so what do you want to eat?"

Chen Ping took out some dried spirit beast meat from his storage bag: "Do you want to eat this then?"

The brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink immediately rushed up, snatched the spirit beast meat from Chen Ping's hand, and began to gnaw on it happily, its cheeks bulging.

Chen Ping's body trembled as if struck by lightning. He suddenly understood:

"Could this little thing be a carnivorous spirit beast?"

The last time he caught this Treasure Seeking Mink, he fed it spiritual herbs.

But if this Treasure Seeking Mink usually eats spirit beast meat, that would explain it.

And this time, the fish king was causing trouble in the lake, preventing this little guy from hunting, so it came to find him?

The Myriad Beast Illustrated Guide sold by Myriad Treasure Pavilion didn't say that this Treasure Seeking Mink mainly eats meat.

This time, by mistake, Chen Ping discovered that this Treasure Seeking Mink mainly eats meat.

Then, did it steal his spiritual herbs before to use them as bait for hunting?

He slapped his forehead:

"How could I not have thought of this? This Treasure Seeking Mink's fur is shiny and smooth. How can it do without meat?"

Chen Ping looked at the Treasure Seeking Mink, which was happily eating meat:

"Little thing, do you want to follow me? If you follow me, I'll give you spirit beast meat every meal and make sure you're full. How about that?"

The Treasure Seeking Mink's intelligent eyes looked at Chen Ping warily, but it didn't slow down its eating.

Chen Ping said with a smile:

"I won't harm you either. How about this? You follow me, you help me find spiritual herbs, and I'll give you spirit beast meat to eat. It's a fair trade. What do you think?"

The Treasure Seeking Mink thought for a while, then stretched out a small paw to Chen Ping, as if saying, 'First, show me some spirit beast meat to see your sincerity.'

Chen Ping was amused and took out some spirit beast jerky from his storage bag.

Because he cultivated his body and practiced daily, he couldn't do without spirit rice and spirit beast meat, so he had a lot stored.

Seeing that Chen Ping could take out so much spirit beast meat to entertain it, the brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink's eyes lit up.

It whined at Chen Ping a few times, as if agreeing.

Chen Ping laughed and cried: "It's always darkest before the dawn..."

He didn't expect to subdue this brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink in this situation.

With enough spirit beast meat to eat, the brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink was in a good mood. Chen Ping went forward to stroke its shiny little head, and it didn't refuse or run away.

After eating and drinking its fill, it lay down on Chen Ping's bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Ping was overjoyed to see this scene.

He was about to give up on the Jade Marrow Mushroom, but now that he had subdued the brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink, his desire for the Jade Marrow Mushroom reignited.

Chen Ping took out a Spiritual Awareness Pill and began to refine it.

When the sun was about to set, the brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink woke up, jumped off the bed, and began to eat spirit beast meat in large gulps again.

Chen Ping stopped cultivating and said to the brocade-furred Treasure Seeking Mink:

"Brother Mink, now that you've eaten the meat, you have to help me."

It whined twice. This little thing was unusually intelligent.

Seeing that there was hope, Chen Ping said:

"Brother Mink, the thing I'm looking for is called Jade Marrow Mushroom. It looks like this..."

He took out a painting and explained:

"This thing grows in particularly hot places. Do you know where this thing is?"

"Ying."

Chen Ping's heart suddenly became hot: "That's right, Brother Mink lives in Myriad Island Lake and is a Treasure Seeking Mink. Where in this lake can hide from its nose?"

"It should know where this Jade Marrow Mushroom is!"

Chen Ping said again: "Brother Mink, if you take me to find this thing, how about I give you a hundred catties of spirit beast meat?"

The Treasure Seeking Mink immediately stopped eating meat and held up a small paw, raising two fingers.

Chen Ping laughed: "Okay, then two hundred catties of spirit beast meat!"

The Treasure Seeking Mink whined and agreed.

Chen Ping was overjoyed: "Two hundred catties of spirit beast meat to find the Jade Marrow Mushroom!"

That's too cost-effective.

Not to mention two hundred catties, even two thousand catties, twenty thousand catties, or two hundred thousand catties would be worth it!

The Treasure Seeking Mink ate and drank its fill, then climbed onto Chen Ping's body. Finally, it stood on Chen Ping's shoulder and whined, as if to say that Chen Ping could set off.

Chen Ping didn't act immediately: "Brother Mink, you can't just stand on my shoulder like this. If others find out, they'll catch you."

"Others won't let you go like me and provide you with good food and drink."

"Ying?" The Treasure Seeking Mink called out, meaning, what should it do?

Chen Ping held up its body with one hand and put it into his sleeve:

"It's better for you to stay in my sleeve when you're outside."

The Treasure Seeking Mink called out in dissatisfaction, but it didn't refuse.

Chen Ping laughed, summoned the flying gourd, and slowly rose into the air, heading towards the lake.
