Mortal Alchemy

What Chen Ping had done before, confronting the Mu family, was akin to snatching chestnuts from a fire, all for the sake of establishing his foundation.

He thought the matter with the Mu family was over, but he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly.

And the Mu family actually wanted to kill him!

But to Chen Ping's surprise, Mu Xingling jumped out to protect him.

Chen Ping took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Then what are the Mu family's plans right now?"

Left Hall Master said faintly: "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but if Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't want to face the Mu family's anger, it's best to become Daoist partners with Mu Xingling."

Veins bulged on Chen Ping's forehead. Back then, Mu Xingling tricked him out of the Immortal Sect token and wanted to plant a slave seal on him!

Now, he was supposed to be grateful to her?!

How absurd!

But the Mu family had a Golden Core ancestor and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Most of his close acquaintances were in the Mu family…

And based on his own situation, if he wanted to plot for the Golden Core, he would need the help of his close acquaintances.

"In the end, my strength is not enough…"

He also understood that inside and outside the Eastern Xuan Sect were two different worlds. Inside the Eastern Xuan Sect, even the Mu family's ancestor had to call him Junior Brother and wouldn't dare to attack Chen Ping.

But outside the Eastern Xuan Sect, if the Mu family was determined to kill him, it was definitely something Chen Ping couldn't resist right now.

He couldn't possibly cower in the Eastern Xuan Sect for the rest of his life! Not to mention, he was already in trouble in the Eastern Xuan Sect.

It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Chen Ping pondered for a long time, cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Left Daoist. I will go find my Daoist partner now."

Left Hall Master giggled: "Fellow Daoist Chen, as a disciple of a Nascent Soul master, it's not easy to get a favor from you."

Left Hall Master secretly informed him of this, one to get Chen Ping's favor, and two to explore the secrets between Chen Ping and the Mu family.

Chen Ping forced a smile: "Chen will definitely repay you. Left Daoist, please wait patiently."

"With Fellow Daoist Chen's words, I am relieved." Left Hall Master put on her cloak again and left.

Chen Ping stood in place, pacing and thinking, whether he should meet Mu Xingling to perfunctorily deal with the Mu family's affairs.

If he didn't go, he was afraid of implicating Mu Luofei and others…

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ping sighed and got up, flying towards the Mu family.

Familiar with the road, he found the Mu family's Deacon Hall. Chen Ping sensed several Foundation Establishment auras spying on him in the dark.

Chen Ping arrived at Mu Xingling's Daoist sanctum, and she was there, wearing a light red dress, her proud figure revealed. Seeing Chen Ping, her eyes gently called out:

"Ping, my love."

Chen Ping did not confront her sharply, but came to sit down in front of her:

"When did you know that I had removed the slave seal?"

Mu Xingling stood up to protect him, she must have deduced it through many things. She wouldn't get up early without profit, she must want to get benefits from Chen Ping.

Mu Xingling came to Chen Ping's side, her fragrant, soft, warm body leaning on Chen Ping's shoulder:

"That time with the Purple Monkey Flower."

Chen Ping was horrified: "How did you find out?"

Mu Xingling giggled: "…Afterwards, I called your several junior brothers to ask them, and they truthfully confessed about your storage bag."

"From that moment on, I knew that Ping, my love, had removed the slave seal and obtained the Purple Monkey Flower."

"Otherwise, how could Ping, my love, cultivate quietly without being disturbed later on?"

"That time at Xingluo Fang City, the family wanted to force you to hand over the Heavenly Spirit Fruit and the Golden Core inheritance, but I stopped them."

"How does Ping, my love, plan to thank me for this one thing?"

Chen Ping took a deep breath: "So it was you."

He thought that the Mu family didn't seek trouble with Chen Ping because of Mu Luofei's Foundation Establishment.

But he didn't expect that Mu Xingling had already seen through Chen Ping and was secretly protecting him.

Chen Ping's heart was complicated: "Why did you do this?"

Mu Xingling gently hooked Chen Ping's neck with a pair of white and tender jade hands, chuckling:

"Although Ping, my love, has five spiritual roots, he is extraordinary. My slave seal has not trapped Ping, my love, why should I fight against Ping, my love again?"

"Moreover, Ping, my love, and I have had intimate relations, which cannot be faked."

Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "You want to trap me and make me work for the Mu family?"

Mu Xingling shook her head slightly: "I have no such plan. I have failed twice in establishing my foundation and have no hope of establishing my foundation. I just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully."

"If Ping, my love, recognizes me and becomes a Daoist partner, he will be regarded as a member of the Mu family, and no one will make things difficult for Ping, my love."

"If Ping, my love, is ruthless and unrighteous, I have nothing to say."

Chen Ping sneered: "Good calculation. In the end, my strength is weak, and I have underestimated the capable people in the world."

Immediately, Chen Ping's face turned cold: "I, Chen Ping, swear with a heart demon oath that I will not have a Daoist partner until I reach the Golden Core stage, and I will not hold a Daoist partner ceremony. Even if I seek a Daoist partner, I will only seek a Golden Core cultivator. Otherwise, the heart demon will explode and I will die!"

As soon as the voice fell, an invisible force bound Chen Ping.

Mu Xingling's face changed slightly, and she sighed: "Why must Ping, my love, be so ruthless…"

Chen Ping looked at her coldly: "You and the Mu family have too many calculations."

"Mu Xingling, you owe me, and you have already repaid me."

"Even if it makes my immortal path twist and turn, I don't blame you."

"I also repay you what I owe you in this way. In the Mu family, you can continue to fulfill the set of Daoist partners until I reach the Golden Core stage!"

With that said, Chen Ping took out a small wooden box from his space ring, looked at Mu Xingling, and sighed:

"Take care of yourself in the future!"

Immediately, Chen Ping left, and no one stopped him.

Mu Xingling opened Chen Ping's small wooden box, and inside lay quietly a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

Mu Xingling's eyes were stunned, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she couldn't believe it.

……

On the top of the Mu family's mountain, the Mu family's Golden Core ancestor and Mu Hailong stood here.

Mu Hailong's eyes were filled with cold killing intent: "Old Ancestor, are we just letting him go like this?"

After learning that Chen Ping was the second-order body cultivator, his killing intent surged!

The Mu family's Golden Core ancestor's eyes were cold and expressionless: "Even if we want to attack, we can't do it under the Eastern Xuan Sect's rule. He is now a Nascent Soul's personal disciple."

"Moreover, it depends on what Xingling says."

The Eastern Xuan Sect has factions and values personal disciples and direct disciples.

The Mu family values direct descendants more.

Mu Xingling drove the white jade flying boat to the top of the mountain and gave a graceful salute:

"Old Ancestor, Big Brother."

"Xingling and Ping, my love, are in love with each other…"

Mu Hailong said coldly: "He is ambiguous with the collateral Mu Luofei."

Mu Xingling giggled, enchanting all beings:

"It doesn't matter. I have already agreed with Ping, my love, that we will hold the Daoist partner ceremony when we reach the Golden Core stage. At that time, whoever reaches the Golden Core stage first will be the main wife, and whoever is later will be the concubine."

Mu Hailong was furious: "Little Sister! You are a direct descendant!"

The Mu family's ancestor waved his hand and interrupted Mu Hailong's words. He looked at Mu Xingling indifferently:

"I can temporarily allow you to do this, but you must give birth to Chen Ping's offspring as soon as possible…"

Mu Xingling's expression froze slightly: "Yes, Old Ancestor…"

Whether it's true or false doesn't matter. As long as Chen Ping's offspring are born, then the false can become true. The Mu family will not suffer losses, and they can justify it on the surface.

The Mu family's Golden Core ancestor continued to say expressionlessly:

"Summon Mu Luofei up here and see what she has to say…"
