Mortal Alchemy

Half a month later, Chen Ping submitted his task to the Pill Hall.

"Now, I really have nothing left except for a bottle of Spirit Awareness Pills and two spirit stones."

"From the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refining, if I go into secluded cultivation, it will probably take more than a year."

After seven years of cultivation, Chen Ping was no longer the ignorant rural kid who had just entered the world of cultivation.

With Yuan Qi Pills to consume, his cultivation speed was still like this; the other pill-refining disciples who painstakingly refined Essence Qi Pills were even more miserable.

Moreover, now that he had sensed a bottleneck, in theory, he should also take Spirit Awareness Pills to assist his cultivation.

However, with a production of only one bottle per month, after thinking and weighing things over, he still felt it was better to exchange them for Yuan Qi Pills.

Otherwise, the cycle of collecting resources for a breakthrough in secluded cultivation would be even longer.

If he could refine two bottles of Spirit Awareness Pills a month, this problem would be easily solved.

Leaving the Pill Hall, he returned to his own cultivation ground.

A while later, Mu Luofei brought the pills she had collected from Xu Fengshan's cultivation ground: "Junior Brother Chen, it's time to set off."

With a gentle touch of her jade finger, the jade hairpin on her head flew out and transformed into a white jade flying boat.

The two boarded the flying boat and soared into the air, heading towards White Sand Square City.

After two years, sitting on Mu Luofei's white jade flying boat again, Chen Ping had a deeper feeling.

Such a flying boat was worth a thousand spirit stones, and even if Chen Ping could refine Spirit Awareness Pills, he would have to save for ten years without eating or drinking to gather enough.

The difference in foundation brought by family background was too great.

Just such a flying boat, how many bottles of Yuan Qi Pills could it buy, and how much could it improve his cultivation?

Now that Chen Ping thought about it, Mu Luofei probably consumed Yuan Qi Pills from the beginning in Jiazi Yard, not Essence Qi Pills; her cultivation increased too quickly.

"Eh?" Mu Luofei's beautiful eyes swept over Chen Ping, very surprised: "Junior Brother Chen, you've broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

The last time she saw Chen Ping was four months ago; he was clearly still at the seventh level of Qi Refining, how long has it been, and he's already at the eighth level!

After a moment of surprise, she said with a sweet smile, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen."

"You're really amazing."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Senior Sister is too kind, I just got a lucky chance to break through."

Mu Luofei's smile deepened: "The former Chen lunatic has actually begun to be humble."

In Jiazi Yard, Chen Ping's secluded cultivation was so crazy that he wouldn't stop until he was completely immersed, which she admired.

Her words brought back some of the feeling Chen Ping had in Jiazi Yard.

Chen Ping explained, "It's really not humility, but luck."

He had actually hoarded a few less Yuan Qi Pills than he needed for his breakthrough in secluded cultivation; wasn't it a breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refining by luck?

……

Arriving at White Sand Square City.

They arrived at an elegant room in a teahouse.

After more than two years, Chen Ping once again saw Li Erniu, Fang Xing, Luo Chongzhi, Lin Feixian, and Han Tongbao.

Seeing Chen Ping, Luo Chongzhi still looked ashamed, but it had dissipated a lot compared to before.

Over the past few years, everyone had been sizing each other up, feeling that everyone had changed a lot.

Mu Luofei walked in and sat in the main seat, and no one had any objections.

The whole room suddenly became noisy, just like it was in Jiazi Yard.

However, the topics were different.

"Okay, let's talk after the transaction is over." Mu Luofei said, and the whole elegant room quieted down, and the six people looked at her together.

Mu Luofei said, "This matter is led by me, and the brothers and sisters of Jiazi Yard can exchange their needed resources here; at the very least, the price should be 10% cheaper than outside."

Several people nodded slightly.

For example, if Wanbao Pavilion sells Essence Qi Pills for one spirit stone a bottle, the stalls sell for about ninety spirit sand, and now this trade fair must be at least 10% cheaper than outside for people to be willing to participate.

They were gathered here for profit.

Mu Luofei continued:

"I have low-priced pills here, as well as generous task hall missions."

Immediately afterwards, Li Erniu, who was recognized as the second oldest, spoke. Two years of fighting had made him more calm and vicissitudes. His voice was a little low:

"Senior sisters and junior brothers, I need Qi Recovery Pills, Bigu Pills, and Yuan Qi Pills. I have spirit stones, animal skins, and some medicinal herbs collected from tasks."

"Medicinal herbs?" Chen Ping's heart moved. This was indeed a channel, but he only had two spirit stones in his hand and no money to buy them, but he could write them down for future use.

Fang Xing said, "I need pills, Essence Qi Pills, Yuan Qi Pills, and Qi Recovery Pills are all fine."

His face was pale, and he was close to Chen Ping, as if he had been sucked of blood and his life shortened.

Chen Ping's was a disguise, but he didn't know if Fang Xing's was real or fake.

He said with a wry smile, "I haven't even entered the door of the talisman path, so I can't refine talismans to provide to everyone."

Everyone's eyes were subtle. Was the talisman path so difficult? Fang Xing did not hesitate to become Mu's family's son-in-law in order to learn the talisman path. Two years had passed, and he had not even entered the door. I am afraid that the marriage will have to be delayed again and again.

Lin Feixian said:

"I also want to buy pills, Qi Recovery Pills and Essence Qi Pills. I have now entered the door of the formation path, and I can refine storage bags. Senior sisters and junior brothers can come to me if they need storage bags. Senior Brother Erniu, if you have intact first-order monster skins, you can sell them to me."

Han Tongbao said, "I also want pills. I can't refine flying magic weapons yet. If senior sisters and junior brothers want a handy weapon, I can build one."

Luo Chongzhi said, "I also want to buy Essence Qi Pills. Everyone knows the situation in the spirit plant department. Every spirit plant is registered, and there is no profit to be made."

Finally, it was Chen Ping's turn. He smiled bitterly and said:

"The business I can do has been taken away by Senior Sister Luofei. I also want to buy Yuan Qi Pills, as well as some other medicinal herbs."

From everyone's needs and feedback, you can basically know how well the other party is doing.

At present, among the seven people, the best are Mu Luofei and Li Erniu, followed by Lin Feixian and Chen Ping, and the rest have not yet mastered a skill that can make money.

However, several people glanced at Chen Ping, surprised that he did not call him Senior Sister Mu, but Senior Sister Luofei, which made people a little jealous.

Li Erniu did not have this treatment.

Two years had passed, and Mu Luofei had become more and more outstanding and beautiful. Whose eyes could not flicker?

Mu Luofei gently patted the storage bag, and dozens of bottles of pills were placed on the table. These were the pills that had just been purchased from Xu Fengshan:

"Essence Qi Pills, eighty-eight spirit sand per bottle, Bigu Pills, thirty-eight spirit sand per bottle, Qi Recovery Pills, forty-two spirit sand per bottle."

As for the task hall missions, they would have to wait until someone reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. If they wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their respective departments would let people go.

Everyone's eyes widened, and they took a breath of cold air, shocked that Mu Luofei could take out so many pills.

The price was a little cheaper than the stalls outside. Those who had money took out spirit sand and spirit stones to buy them. Among them, Li Erniu and Fang Xing bought the most.

Fang Xing had not yet entered the door of the talisman path.

Li Erniu almost bought half of the pills Mu Luofei brought, worth about thirty spirit stones.

Chen Ping was not envious either. This money should be earned by Mu Luofei, and he could not envy it.
