Mortal Alchemy

Madam Guo gave Chen Ping ten thousand spirit stones and thirty portions of three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

After sweeping through the four Foundation Establishment families in Fuguanfang City, Chen Ping made a fortune.

Seeing the eighteen second-order spiritual plants that were several hundred years old in front of him, Chen Ping had the urge to roar to the sky.

"With these eighteen spiritual plants, coupled with the materials collected by Senior Sister Luo Fei and Madam Guo, I will have enough materials for the Qi Cultivation Pills I need before the Golden Core stage."

Qi Cultivation Pill, Second-Order Body Tempering Pill, Second-Order Qi Replenishing Pill.

As for the Soul Solidification Pill, he didn't need it.

Chen Ping suppressed his emotions, feeling relaxed and happy:

"I still need to hone my sword intent and search for the nine materials for the Golden Spirit Attraction Pill..."

His cultivation technique came with a 30% chance of successfully forming a Golden Core, the Three Lights Divine Water of the East Xuan Sect also gave 30%, and this Golden Spirit Attraction Pill gave another 30%, totaling 90%.

"I haven't even seen third-order materials before, so it won't be easy to find all nine materials."

Chen Ping looked at Zuo Yinghong and Madam Guo:

"Fellow Daoists, before the third-order formation is set up for these eighteen second-order spiritual plants, I'll have to trouble you to take care of them in shifts."

"No problem," the two women nodded slightly.

These eighteen second-order spiritual plants were worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, making people covet them.

But compared to the benefits brought by Chen Ping, a second-order alchemist, it was better to honestly help Chen Ping take care of these spiritual plants.

Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were enough to push a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, hoping to break through to the Golden Core stage.

But where would the Golden Core resources come from? These rogue cultivators simply had no channels, and they would probably have to rely on Chen Ping then.

This direct disciple of the East Xuan Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator, who was also an alchemist, was far superior to them in terms of combat power, ability, and status.

Mu Luofei left first to handle Chen Ping's affairs, and then collect materials for the Barrier Breaking Pill.

During this time, Meng Huang'er had already begun to learn how to refine first-order Beauty Preservation Pills. The Guo family still provided some materials, and Mu Luofei provided some materials, so that the complete Beauty Preservation Pill recipe would not be leaked.

Zuo Yinghong also wanted to borrow Mu Luofei's and even Chen Ping's channels to buy a second-order Barrier Breaking Pill, hoping to successfully break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Once she broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would be safer even if the neighboring city came to make trouble.

Chen Ping looked at Madam Guo: "When the time comes, build a Daoist temple for me in this area."

Madam Guo nodded slightly: "This concubine understands."

She was secretly anxious, and had to let Ying'er come to Fuguanfang City to take charge as soon as possible, so she could go to Donghuang Immortal City.

It had only been a few years since Chen Ping came to Fuguanfang City, and his life was getting better and better. If she waited any longer, she was afraid that Zhou Ying would not even have a chance to be Chen Ping's concubine.

Look, Mu Luofei was a great beauty, and Zuo Yinghong's appearance was average, but she had a good figure and temperament, and was a second-order beast tamer.

Not to mention Meng Huang'er.

She knew that Chen Ping looked down on her withered body, and had given up the idea of seducing Chen Ping, only wanting her daughter to hook up with Chen Ping, the alchemist.

In the future, when Chen Ping formed his Golden Core, Zhou Ying could also get Golden Core resources from Chen Ping. As a merchant, she had a long-term vision.

Therefore, she would take Chen Ping's instructions seriously.

After explaining these matters, Chen Ping announced that he was going into seclusion, but secretly took a flying magic tool to sea, heading to Suixingfang City again.

He would never return to Fuguanfang City until he obtained the alchemy secret technique.

...

Five days later.

Chen Ping returned to Ronghai Pill Shop in Suixingfang City.

After a few months, the heat of Rogue Cultivator Ronghai had finally subsided.

There were only some cultivators who came to buy pills normally inside and outside the shop.

When Situ Ye saw Chen Ping, his face lit up with joy, and he respectfully said, "Master, you're finally back!"

"Yes," Chen Ping said lightly, "How is the shop doing?"

Situ Ye honestly handed the account book to Chen Ping: "Please take a look, Master."

Chen Ping just glanced at it: "You earned three hundred spirit stones, not bad."

What he taught Situ Ye were all ordinary first-order pills, and the price and profit were not high.

But Situ Ye's energy had changed, and he was wearing better Daoist robes, full of energy.

He returned the account book to Situ Ye: "Keep up the good work. During the time I was away, was there any news in Suixingfang City?"

Situ Ye said: "Reporting to Master, these past few months, Suixingfang City has been calm and peaceful, nothing has changed. If there is anything exciting, it is that the city lord Yao Yuan has married a few more beautiful concubines."

"Also, many Foundation Establishment cultivators want to invite Master to attend their gatherings. They may want to ask Master to refine pills."

Chen Ping smiled: "Take out all the invitations for me to see."

It was not easy for rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators to obtain second-order Qi Cultivation Pills, let alone other pills.

His appearance as a wild second-order alchemist was definitely a hot commodity.

A thick stack of invitations appeared.

Chen Ping carefully screened them, and suddenly saw an invitation. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he said:

"Master has been searching for spiritual herbs for a few months without any harvest, so I have to interact more with local fellow Daoists. Situ Ye, go return this invitation, and say that I will pay a visit in three days."

"Yes, Master."

Situ Ye looked at the invitation. It was the Haiyao Hall that Master had inquired about before.

Chen Ping disguised himself and left the pill shop, coming to the alleyway on the edge of the city.

He found Fei Niang.

Four months had passed, and Fei Niang's belly was slightly protruding, obviously pregnant.

Fei Niang saluted: "Greetings, Senior."

Chen Ping asked indifferently: "How is it, has that Chu Xiaoyu come to look for you again?"

Fei Niang slowly shook her head: "My husband has not come to look for me yet."

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and said: "If he comes to find you in the next few days, you call someone to Ronghai Pill Shop to inform me, understand?"

Fei Niang nodded: "This concubine understands."

Two thousand spirit stones were enough for a Qi Refining cultivator who could not build a foundation to eat and drink well for a lifetime.

Chen Ping wanted to verify a guess in his heart.

After explaining, Chen Ping turned and left.

Returning to Ronghai Pill Shop, Chen Ping took out pills to refine, improving his cultivation and divine sense.

"The Golden Core lifespan is one hundred and fifty years."

Most people waste their lives, passing through life in a daze. A hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

Three days later.

Chen Ping went out and headed to Haiyao Hall.

The owner of Haiyao Hall was a beautiful woman, full of charm and extremely seductive. Her body was full of fragrance, and a sniff had a refreshing effect.

She was wearing an emerald green dress, looking dignified and luxurious, smilingly saying:

"Fellow Daoist Ronghai, I am Nan Yun, so polite."

Chen Ping cupped his hands: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nan Yun."

Nan Yun stepped forward and took Chen Ping's arm, her chest was white and soft, and she deliberately rubbed against him, wanting to seduce Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping had no feeling for this kind of trick.

Nan Yun smiled and took Chen Ping's arm and walked to the back hall, walking and saying:

"Fellow Daoist Ronghai is so popular, this concubine will have to contact fellow Daoists more in the future."

Did Nan Yun want to seduce him?

Chen Ping smiled on the surface and said: "I should say this, Tang has been searching for spiritual herbs at sea for a few months without any harvest. A clever woman can't cook without rice. If you want to refine pills, you still have to use Haiyao Hall's channels."
