Mortal Alchemy

In the following half month, Chen Ping focused on consolidating his cultivation and healing his injuries.

At the same time, he felt the changes in power brought about by the fourteenth level of Qi Refining.

"The mist-like spiritual power is being further purified, transforming and progressing towards liquid spiritual power."

"The total amount of spiritual power I can accommodate is greater, at least three times more than when I was at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining."

"Now that I've entered the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, my spiritual sense can be further enhanced. My control over spiritual power will be more refined, and my spells will be more precise and powerful than before, but my spiritual sense still cannot leave my body."

"After entering the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, the backlash from the excessively large spiritual sense has stopped. Now, the spiritual sense is actually beginning to nourish the strength of my physical body."

"Spiritual power, spiritual sense, Body Tempering Pills, body cultivation techniques, and the Azure Lotus Sword Essence are all helping me to temper my physical body at all times."

Reaching the limit of the Qi Refining stage, elements from all aspects are assisting Chen Ping in tempering his physical body.

However, Chen Ping could also feel the bottleneck of the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, which was of unprecedented difficulty.

This is the key point of transcending mortality and entering immortality.

"With a single thought, one enters Foundation Establishment, and from then on is no longer a vulgar person."

He could also understand why the physical body was the last and most important aspect.

The surging and majestic liquid spiritual power requires a powerful physical body to bear it, and the powerful divine sense requires a physical body to bear it, and the physical body must transform to have a lifespan of two hundred years, which is completely different from Qi Refining.

"Hoo~"

"The three barriers to the qualitative change of spiritual power, ah."

These are closely related to Foundation Establishment.

Chen Ping felt that the bottleneck of entering the late stage of the first level of body cultivation was beginning to loosen under the tempering of various factors.

He had been stuck at the late stage of the first level of body cultivation for about two years, and had not been able to improve, even though he had been taking Body Tempering Pills and Body Tempering Powder without interruption, his cultivation had not progressed.

Now, finally, there is progress.

The difficulty of Foundation Establishment, there are still two barriers in front of him, one is a strong enough physical body, and the other is the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Feeling the bottleneck of his physical body, Chen Ping decided to enter the second level of body cultivation before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Without saying much, entering the second level of body cultivation would at least make it easier to overcome the bottleneck of the fifteenth level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, Chen Ping's appetite has increased recently, and he needs to consume a large amount of spirit beast meat and spirit rice to increase his physical foundation and body tempering consumption.

Spirit Cuisine Hall.

With free spirit beast meat and spirit rice, Chen Ping ate with an open stomach, his physical body like a bottomless pit.

The gaunt and aged Xu Fengshan walked to Chen Ping and sat down, with a look of surprise in his eyes:

"Junior Brother Chen, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"

A different look appeared in Chen Ping's eyes: "Senior Brother, you jest."

Xu Fengshan advised: "Junior Brother Chen, you are almost thirty years old, and the deadline for Foundation Establishment is approaching. Haven't you given up on Foundation Establishment yet?"

Chen Ping shook his head: "I will never give up until the last day."

Xu Fengshan glanced at Chen Ping:

"Your current cultivation is still at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. It will be difficult to break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining in the next year and a half, and then seek a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment."

When Chen Ping is walking outside, he basically uses the Turtle Breath Technique, so it is not surprising that he can hide it from Xu Fengshan's detection.

"...But I don't know if I can hide my current fourteenth level of Qi Refining from Foundation Establishment cultivators like Hall Master Zuo?"

Chen Ping was looking forward to it, eager to try, and felt very confident that he could hide it from Foundation Establishment cultivators like Hall Master Zuo.

Xu Fengshan continued to persuade Chen Ping: "Junior Brother Chen, if Foundation Establishment is not possible, you might as well save the money to marry a wife and establish a family."

"In a flash, you have been in the Pill Hall for fifteen years, and I am over seventy-three years old. I have only a little over a year left to regain my freedom."

Chen Ping smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu."

Xu Fengshan waved his hand with a smile, his old and turbid eyes filled with sighs, just like Senior Brother Liu back then.

Xu Fengshan advised Chen Ping:

"Junior Brother Chen, after I regain my freedom and leave the Mu family, the connections and pill selling business of this Pill Hall can be completely done by you and Miss Mu."

This matter was originally initiated by Chen Ping, and Xu Fengshan has been making money these years, and now he intends to hand over this business to Chen Ping to manage.

"In recent years, our Pill Hall has added thirty or forty new pill refining disciples. Hehe, Junior Brother Chen, if you take over, there is a lot you can do."

Chen Ping looked around the Spirit Cuisine Hall. Indeed, there were many pill refining disciples in their teens and twenties, all with numb and dull faces.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Thank you for Senior Brother Xu's kindness. I will consider this matter."

The implication is that he declined.

It's not that he looks down on this small profit, but that he is too busy. Compared to cultivation, he really has no time to manage this income.

Xu Fengshan sighed:

"Well, before I leave the Mu family, this matter will be valid. If Junior Brother thinks it through, you can come to me."

After saying that, Xu Fengshan got up and left. Along the way, many people in the Spirit Cuisine Hall greeted Xu Fengshan.

He has been in the Pill Hall for almost sixty years and has never made a mistake. He is highly respected in the eyes of every disciple.

Chen Ping originally wanted to gossip about Junior Brother Du's matter, but he didn't find a chance.

After eating and drinking enough, Chen Ping slowly summoned the Flying Gourd and went to Baisha Fang City to find Zhou Ying.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this time this concubine only managed to get two second-order talismans."

"They are the Ice Talisman and the Earth Travel Talisman respectively."

Chen Ping gave Zhou Ying four hundred spirit stones, and then left this place, while purchasing some Essence Pills.

Then he went to the Pill Hall to find Hall Master Zuo.

Going to the Eastern Wilderness with Mu Luofei to find the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk, I don't know how much time it will take.

It is better to submit the task to Hall Master Zuo and obtain approval in advance.

Chen Ping came to Hall Master Zuo's dojo, cupped his hands and bowed: "Hall Master, this subordinate Chen Ping, wants to seek a breakthrough opportunity outside..."

He was a little nervous inside.

He couldn't avoid seeing Hall Master Zuo, this Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He felt the divine sense belonging to the Foundation Establishment cultivator searching his foundation. He fully operated the Turtle Breath Technique, and cooperated with his own spiritual sense to suppress his aura at the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

"Granted." Hall Master Zuo was not cultivating at the moment, and spat out a few cold and indifferent words:

"You are almost thirty years old, and you have not yet broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. It is time to go out and look for a breakthrough opportunity."

"Thank you, Hall Master!" Chen Ping opened his mouth, relieved in his heart, and then a surge of ecstasy emerged.

The fourteenth level of Qi Refining can indeed hide from the detection of Foundation Establishment cultivators and conceal the true cultivation aura.

This is the benefit of a strong spiritual sense!

He withdrew from Hall Master Zuo's dojo.

Chen Ping returned to his dojo and packed up: "Brother Mink, it's time to set off. This time, I'll have to rely on you to find treasures."

"Ying Ying." The Treasure Hunting Mink has already given birth to demon power, but the fur on its body can conceal its aura. This little guy is smarter than before.

It burrowed into Chen Ping's sleeve and lay down comfortably to sleep.

Chen Ping didn't delay any longer and went to the Deacon Hall.

He went to find Mu Luofei, but was told that Mu Luofei was in closed-door cultivation and was not working.

"There have been quite a few people looking for Little Sister Luofei recently. This handsome little brother, for just five spirit stones, I can tell you where Little Sister Luofei's dojo is." The Mu family female heir next to Mu Luofei's work station said with a smile.
