Mortal Alchemy

Mu Hongluan nudged Junior Brother Du with her elbow: "See that? You need to cultivate diligently too, and follow Senior Brother Chen's example."

"Senior Brother Chen is the first promising young talent in the Pill Hall in the last two hundred years to attempt Foundation Establishment."

"You must also strive to become the second!"

Junior Brother Du nodded:

"I will cultivate diligently and break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

Several of them were from the Pill Hall, so their conversation was familiar and natural.

Especially Mu Huadie, who had regained her former radiance, was bright and moving. Even if she pulled up her collar, her charm was still higher than her daughter's.

After a while, Meng Huang'er's figure walked out from the back hall.

Her face was a little unsightly, but when she saw Chen Ping, she smiled:

"Junior Brother Chen, the task is completed. Let's go have tea."

Chen Ping nodded: "Okay."

Then he said goodbye to Mu Huadie's family.

He had only taken a few steps and hadn't left the shop yet.

A familiar voice sounded behind Chen Ping: "Junior Brother?"

Chen Ping turned his head and said with a slightly surprised tone: "Senior Sister Luo Fei, you are here too."

When Meng Huang'er saw Mu Luofei, her face changed slightly, and she felt a little suppressed and unhappy.

As soon as the flourishing Mu Luofei arrived, she overshadowed the three women, Mu Huadie, Mu Hongluan, and Meng Huang'er.

The three women were not bad in appearance and figure, but they were not in the same league as Mu Luofei.

Mu Luofei's elegance and confidence that flowed from her bones were unmatched.

Mu Luofei walked over with a smile: "I am surprised why Junior Brother is here."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "I bought a few clothes in Senior Sister Huadie's shop and accompanied Senior Sister Meng to have a cup of tea."

Mu Luofei nodded slightly and smiled gently: "If that's the case, then I will also accompany Junior Brother and Senior Sister Meng for a cup of tea."

She glanced at the three of Mu Huadie and said, "I will come over to talk about things after I finish drinking tea."

Junior Brother Du said with a smile: "Okay, no problem."

The different reactions of the people towards Mu Luofei made Chen Ping curious.

Walking out of Mu Huadie's shop, the three of them came to an elegant room in a tea house and sat down.

Mu Luofei gave the main seat to Chen Ping, which surprised Meng Huang'er.

Then, Mu Luofei returned thirty spirit stones to Meng Huang'er:

"Senior Sister Meng, since your relationship with Junior Brother is not shallow, I will return the spirit stones for the penalty for delaying the task time."

Meng Huang'er's heart trembled. Does this Junior Brother Chen have so much face in front of Mu Luofei?

Thirty spirit stones are half of her reward for this mission.

Chen Ping showed a puzzled look: "Senior Sister Meng, did you take the task from Senior Sister Luofei?"

Mu Luofei nodded slightly: "Yes, I entrusted Senior Sister Meng to auction a Beauty Pill back from the black market. She should have arrived a month ago, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for a month."

Chen Ping understood and smiled: "Then I congratulate Senior Sister in advance, good things are coming."

Even if Mu Luofei was extremely confident, she still had to guard against the risks brought about by the failure of Foundation Establishment. If Foundation Establishment failed, her vitality would be greatly damaged, and many cultivators' appearances would age a lot.

By taking the Beauty Pill, this can be prevented.

A Beauty Pill costs five hundred spirit stones.

Mu Luofei said with a smile: "Then I will accept Junior Brother's kind words."

"But I am curious about the relationship between Junior Brother and Senior Sister Meng. You have never invited me to a tea house outside for tea in so many years."

She used this point to return the thirty spirit stones to Meng Huang'er without asking about the relationship first.

Chen Ping laughed: "Senior Sister Meng is my guide on the path of immortality. Senior Sister Meng brought me back to the Mu family."

"Oh, so that's the reason." Mu Luofei nodded.

Mu Luofei was much younger than Meng Huang'er, but Meng Huang'er was a little restrained and nervous in front of her.

The status in the world of cultivating immortals has always depended on cultivation and status.

Chen Ping explained to Meng Huang'er: "Senior Sister Luofei is the one who took care of me in the Immortal Seed Servant Yard."

Meng Huang'er was surprised: "That's quite a coincidence."

Mu Luofei looked at Meng Huang'er with a smile: "Senior Sister Meng, you are Junior Brother's guide on the path of immortality. I will give you priority for good tasks in the future."

Meng Huang'er's face showed joy: "Thank you, Manager Mu."

After drinking a cup of tea, Meng Huang'er left on some pretext.

This made Chen Ping sigh softly: "Senior Sister Luofei, why bother sending her away? I haven't seen her for twenty years either..."

But he was also used to Mu Luofei's strength for twenty years.

Mu Luofei snorted softly: "This Senior Sister Meng often makes mistakes in her tasks. She still hasn't learned her lesson after so many years. Otherwise, with her diligence, she would have a chance to try Foundation Establishment in this life."

"If the path of immortality is slightly worse, there will be no hope for Foundation Establishment."

Chen Ping nodded and couldn't help but think that when Meng Huang'er took him back to the Mu family, she was blackmailed by Tang Sheng.

"I have already reached the completion of Qi Refining, and only need this Beauty Pill to go back and try Foundation Establishment. She delayed it for a month, and fining her thirty spirit stones is already a very light punishment.

But for Junior Brother's sake, the money has already been returned to her."

Chen Ping couldn't find a reason to blame Mu Luofei.

Chen Ping talked about the Beauty Pill.

Mu Luofei said: "Senior Sister Huadie inherited part of her Taoist partner's estate, and she has the token for the black market auction."

Chen Ping was shocked: "Estate?"

"Yes." Mu Luofei nodded: "About a year ago, the Foundation Establishment guest elder she relied on passed away. Although she was not the main Taoist partner, she was also a concubine and received some of the estate.

Among them, the shop was the biggest estate she received."

Chen Ping nodded and oh-ed. This could explain why Mu Huadie had regained her former radiance, and why Mu Hongluan and Junior Brother Du got married a year ago.

This Junior Brother Du is good. He uses any means for resources and directly marries Mu Hongluan. His methods and mind are not simple.

Speaking of this, Mu Luofei glanced at Chen Ping: "Your Senior Brother Xu has already handed over the pill business and let Junior Brother Du trade with me."

Chen Ping smiled:

"I don't know about this. Senior Brother Xu will be sixty years old in a few months and will regain his freedom. It is normal for the pill business to be traded with Senior Sister by someone else."

"However, Senior Sister Huadie can be considered to have finally found happiness after suffering."

He didn't expect that Mu Huadie would find a new path in her life.

After chatting for a while, Mu Luofei left. After taking the pills from Junior Brother Du, she left in a hurry.

For her, the most important thing now is to try Foundation Establishment.

Every minute and every second is very important and cannot be delayed.

Chen Ping understood this very well.

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. When will Mu Xingling choose to try Foundation Establishment again?

What if she succeeds?

Thinking of this, Chen Ping felt a little anxious.

He no longer had the mood to drink tea slowly, left the tea house, and went to Wanbao Pavilion to find Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying was a little surprised to see Chen Ping: "Fellow Daoist Chen, it seems that it hasn't been a year since the last transaction, right?"

It had only been five or six months since he last met her.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "This time I came to find Fellow Daoist Zhou for another transaction."

"Then Fellow Daoist Chen, please come to the elegant room with me for a chat."
