Mortal Alchemy

Perhaps he would advance from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak, and then enter the Golden Core stage.

Perhaps it wouldn't take one hundred and twenty years, not ninety years, maybe even less than sixty years.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping found it hard to calm down.

He called Situ Ye over.

Situ Ye was respectful: "Senior!"

Chen Ping looked at him: "Do you want to work for me? I'll promise you a chance at Foundation Establishment."

Situ Ye's body trembled, and he immediately knelt down:

"I am willing to serve Senior!"

"Very good." Chen Ping said: "I need you to return to the Shattered Star Islands and help me gather information, find out some information about the Shattered Star Islands…"

As for the Qi Return Pill matter, he wouldn't reveal it to Situ Ye, nor would he let Situ Ye stay in Floating Light Square City for too long. If Situ Ye were to detect any clues, Chen Ping would suffer a great loss.

Chen Ping gave him a large batch of pills and a thousand spirit stones, and then told Situ Ye:

"I am a Rank 2 Alchemist. When you return to the Shattered Star Islands, help me collect various alchemy materials."

"For now, focus on acquiring Rank 1 materials, and then pay attention to Rank 2 resources."

"If you do well, I will pass on the Rank 1 Alchemist inheritance to you."

Situ Ye immediately kowtowed: "I am willing to go through fire and water for Senior!"

That was a Rank 1 Alchemist inheritance!

And a chance at Foundation Establishment!

How could small families like theirs have such an opportunity?

This was a free and unowned Hundred Arts inheritance, not belonging to any sect!

Situ Ye's heart was also burning with excitement.

Chen Ping said: "Then swear a Heart Demon Oath that you will not reveal any information related to me…"

"Yes, Senior!" Situ Ye immediately swore a Heart Demon Oath.

Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction, took out a flying gourd and gave it to him: "After some time, I will come to Shattered Star Square City to find you."

Then Chen Ping sent Situ Ye away from Floating Light Square City, away from the sea tide area.

Floating Light Square City is five thousand miles away from the Shattered Star Islands.

Besides Transformation Gods and Nascent Souls, who would explore such a distant place beyond the Eastern Wasteland?

After all, the Eastern Domain's cultivation world is big enough.

After settling Situ Ye's matter, Chen Ping called on Zuo Yinghong and Madam Guo.

He took out Han Yu's corpse: "The four major Foundation Establishment families have taken action, Fellow Daoist Zuo, what do you think is the best way to resolve this?"

Zuo Yinghong frowned and said: "Since only Han Yu acted, we cannot determine if the other three families are involved. Although we have three combatants on our side, I am not good at fighting."

"If we start a war with the other three families now, Fellow Daoist Guo and I are afraid that one of us will perish."

"Therefore, before the other three families reveal their intentions, Fellow Daoist Chen might as well just destroy the Han family."

"Taking advantage of the fact that the other three families have not reacted yet and are resisting the demon tide is a good opportunity."

Chen Ping nodded: "That's what I think too."

"Then the two fellow Daoists should set off with me. After we destroy the Han family, we can distribute the spoils."

Without Han Yu, the Han family is just a Qi Refining family. With three Foundation Establishment cultivators arriving together, how could they resist?

The accumulation of a Foundation Establishment family over several hundred years should be quite substantial.

And Madam Guo doesn't need to hide her aura in Floating Light Square City anymore.

The three of them appeared and went straight to the Han family!

...

The Han family's territory is located on a seaside cliff, where a Rank 2 spiritual vein derived from Eastern Moon Mountain is located.

Chen Ping floated in the sky and shouted loudly:

"People of the Han family, come out and die!"

Everyone in the Han family changed their expressions, and then many Han family members appeared. A Han family elder showed himself and cupped his hands towards Chen Ping:

"I am Han Lide, I don't know how the Han family has offended Shopkeeper Chen!"

"Bang—"

Chen Ping threw Han Yu's headless corpse to the ground.

Even without revealing it directly, one could recognize that it was the patriarch Han Yu through his clothes, fingers, and build.

"Patriarch!" The Han family members exclaimed, their faces changing drastically!

Then several people secretly used expensive communication talismans to notify the other three families.

The He, Zhang, Shang, and Han families have always been of one mind.

Chen Ping's face was cold: "Han Yu ambushed this shopkeeper and was killed on the spot."

"This one is kind-hearted and doesn't want to harm the innocent. I'll give the Han family the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to offer up all of the Han family's wealth."

"From now on, the Han family will move five thousand miles away from this place."

Han Lide's body trembled: "Shopkeeper Chen, can this condition be negotiated?"

Chen Ping's face was cold: "There is no room for negotiation. I will only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I will not wait beyond that."

"If you don't agree to this condition after this time, I will exterminate the entire Han family!"

The hearts of the Han family members trembled violently, and they were filled with panic.

Qi Refining cultivators in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Chen Ping's actions would be as simple as killing chickens and dogs.

Han Lide cupped his hands: "Shopkeeper Chen, allow this old man to discuss it with the family members."

Chen Ping's face was indifferent: "As you wish."

Chen Ping floated in the air.

Time passed by bit by bit.

Soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up.

Han Lide appeared, cupping his hands towards Chen Ping: "Shopkeeper Chen, this old man has discussed it with the family members…"

"We have decided… to send Shopkeeper Chen on his way!"

"Attack!!!"

"Rumble!!!"

Dozens of Rank 2 talisman spells surged out from within the Han mansion!

Faced with so many Rank 2 talismans, Chen Ping sneered:

"Ants trying to shake a tree, foolish and ignorant."

"When people exist, the land is lost, both people and land remain. When people and land are lost, both people and land are lost."

Chen Ping's space ring flashed, and the Azure Cloud Sword and Obsidian Moon Sword appeared.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The swords hummed loudly, and azure light bloomed.

With just one sword…

He completely annihilated all twenty-odd Rank 2 talisman spells.

"…"

The scene was silent, without a sound, and the bodies of everyone in the Han mansion trembled.

Then the Obsidian Moon Sword fell from his hand and began to rotate rapidly around the Han family's territory at a speed invisible to the naked eye…

Azure lotuses emerged, exuding a sharp and terrifying sword energy aura.

The hundreds of people in the Han family were terrified, their faces desperate, and some had already begun to kneel and beg Chen Ping for mercy.

Han Lide's body trembled, but he didn't believe that Chen Ping would dare to kill hundreds of people in their Han family.

Would the people from the other three families sit still and do nothing?

Just at this moment, He Chengzhu, Shang Yangxiu, and Zhang Daosheng received the talisman message and rushed over together.

He Chengzhu said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Chen! Stop!"

The Foundation Establishment auras of the three of them pressed towards Chen Ping, trying to force Chen Ping to stop and even wanting to attack Chen Ping!

A smile appeared on Han Lide's face.

It was also at this time that Chen Ping uttered a few indifferent words: "Azure Lotus Taiyi, Twin Lotus United Hearts…"

"Buzz!"

The sound of the sword reached its peak!

Hundreds of azure sword lights instantly erupted from the Han family's territory!

The smile on Han Lide's face froze, then turned into eternal despair, and the last thought before his consciousness fell into darkness was:

"How dare he…"

"Shu shu shu shu shu shu!"

With two moves at the same time, all three hundred and sixty-seven members of the Han family, all Qi Refining cultivators, were instantly annihilated.

The stench of blood soared into the sky!

He Chengzhu, Zhang Daosheng, and Shang Yangxiu's faces were extremely ugly, and their eyes revealed cold killing intent: "Chen Ping!"

Chen Ping slowly turned around and looked at them:

"When killing people, you must eliminate the roots. What do the three fellow Daoists think?"

At this time, the Foundation Establishment auras of Zuo Yinghong and Madam Guo emerged, standing behind Chen Ping.

For a time, the expressions of He Chengzhu, Zhang Daosheng, and Shang Yangxiu changed extremely wonderfully.
