Mortal Alchemy

Mentioning the battle for the Nascent Soul seed, Meng Huang'er's eyes lacked confidence.

Meng Huang'er said, "Junior Brother, the Nascent Soul seed battle is a year from now, and Master has asked me to participate."

Chen Ping glanced at Meng Huang'er's cultivation, early stage Foundation Establishment, peak, and a third-order body cultivator.

Meng Huang'er cultivates the Dao of Music, it's unknown how her abilities in killing and combat are.

Just participating in the Nascent Soul seed battle with an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivation is somewhat insufficient.

Chen Ping said, "Huang'er, after we arrive at the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City, I will refine a furnace of Barrier Breaking Pills. You can also take this time to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Junior Brother," Meng Huang'er nodded.

It has been more than ten years since she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. With her awakened special spiritual body, plus the special care and development of a Xing Peak disciple, she doesn't lack resources, and her cultivation speed is not slow.

Meng Huang'er came down from Chen Ping's embrace and led Chen Ping to a quiet courtyard in the market.

Meng Huang'er transmitted her voice, "Senior Sister Lan, Junior Brother is out of seclusion."

A moment later, the courtyard door opened, and behind the door stood a female cultivator wearing a green dress, with a beautiful face, a cold temperament like a plum blossom, and exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Her attire was not as glamorous and revealing as other female cultivators in the Myriad Desire Pavilion. Judging from her expression and temperament, she was somewhat similar to a cultivator from the Eastern Xuan Sect.

Chen Ping and Senior Sister Lan exchanged glances.

Chen Ping thought to himself, "As expected, she has a captivating beauty, she must have a special spiritual body!"

Senior Sister Lan's voice was cold, "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Meng, please come in."

The two walked into Senior Sister Lan's courtyard, which was full of various exotic flowers and rare herbs.

It was the first time Chen Ping had seen a cultivator decorate their Daoist sanctum so exquisitely.

Senior Sister Lan's every move revealed a sense of coldness and arrogance, and there was no trace of cultivating charm techniques at all, which made Chen Ping marvel.

A Myriad Desire Pavilion female cultivator who doesn't cultivate charm techniques, interesting.

The three sat down.

With a wave of her jade finger, Senior Sister Lan served a cup of flower tea for the two of them.

Chen Ping went straight to the point, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lan is here for in Floating Light Market?"

Senior Sister Lan gave Chen Ping a graceful bow, her tone as cold as a spring, clear and melodious:

"Under the orders of my master, I will spare no expense to win over Fellow Daoist Chen."

"If Fellow Daoist Chen can be used by the Myriad Desire Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Chen can name any conditions, including myself."

"Master carefully selected thousands of female cultivators in the sect, and finally chose me to visit Fellow Daoist Chen, heh, saying that Fellow Daoist Chen would like my type of cauldron."

Chen Ping's expression froze. She just stated her purpose like that, not following the usual script.

Meng Huang'er's originally friendly eyes suddenly became vigilant and wary of this Senior Sister Lan.

"Tsk tsk," Chen Ping laughed.

"The Myriad Desire Pavilion really has a grand plan, sending a Foundation Establishment late stage female cultivator with a special spiritual body to find me."

Special spiritual bodies can receive special training even in the Eastern Xuan Sect.

The Myriad Desire Pavilion sent Senior Sister Lan as a meeting gift to him as a cauldron.

Senior Sister Lan said, "Fellow Daoist Chen having such a reaction shows that Master did not choose the wrong person."

Chen Ping did not immediately reject the Myriad Desire Pavilion, but instead asked, "How does the Myriad Desire Pavilion want me to contribute?"

Meng Huang'er was immediately anxious, "If I had known, I should have notified Senior Sister Luo Fei to come over, I definitely wouldn't let the people from the Myriad Desire Pavilion be so presumptuous!"

Senior Sister Lan said, "If Fellow Daoist Chen agrees, then in the upcoming Nascent Soul seed battle, exchange the Tears of the Heavenly Maiden to the Myriad Desire Pavilion."

Chen Ping's eyes turned cold:

"You're actually aiming for the Tears of the Heavenly Maiden, Fellow Daoist Lan, your sect is really making a good bet. This once-in-a-century Nascent Soul seed battle, the four sects are fighting with all their might, and there are only two bottles of Tears of the Heavenly Maiden. The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already pre-ordering the Tears of the Heavenly Maiden from me?"

Senior Sister Lan said truthfully:

"Why must Fellow Daoist Chen blame me? I am only acting under my master's orders. As for whether Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to accept, it all depends on Fellow Daoist Chen himself."

Chen Ping said lightly:

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to let Fellow Daoist Lan return empty-handed."

How important are the Tears of the Heavenly Maiden? How could Chen Ping give away the Tears of the Heavenly Maiden that he might obtain for a cauldron female cultivator?

"Huang'er, let's go," Chen Ping didn't waste any more words and left with Meng Huang'er.

And this Senior Sister Lan was still sitting on the stone chair without moving, it's unknown if she was half-heartedly doing her job, or what she meant.

The Myriad Desire Pavilion threw out an olive branch, but couldn't give Chen Ping something that would move him.

It seems that the Myriad Desire Pavilion is probably casting a wide net on a large scale, sending out many female disciples to win over some disciples who might win the Nascent Soul seed battle.

Meng Huang'er followed Chen Ping's side, "Junior Brother, you should have less contact with the people from the Myriad Desire Pavilion in the future."

Chen Ping laughed, "I know, what's wrong, are you afraid that someone will compete with you for favor?"

"Of course not," Meng Huang'er snorted.

Chen Ping turned his head and asked, "Do you know where your sister Ying'er is?"

Meng Huang'er said, "Sister Zhou should be in Eastern Wasteland Immortal City, Madam Guo is preparing to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Chen Ping nodded, "I'll take you to see two people."

On the way, Chen Ping told her about his injury and how Yue Tang and Nan Yun saved his life.

Although Meng Huang'er expressed understanding, she finally said:

"Junior Brother, you should tell Senior Sister Luo Fei these words when we get to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City."

Chen Ping smiled wryly, "Of course."

When Nan Yun saw Meng Huang'er, she was amazed by Meng Huang'er's temperament.

Nan Yun served Meng Huang'er a cup of tea and gave a graceful bow, "Greetings, Sister Meng."

Meng Huang'er, however, coldly did not accept the cup of tea. It seemed that she disliked Nan Yun's temperament and attire.

But then again, Chen Ping's current women are all from the Eastern Xuan Sect. Moreover, Meng Huang'er had just met a female cultivator from the Myriad Desire Pavilion, so it would be strange if she gave Nan Yun a good look.

Yue Tang served Meng Huang'er tea, "Disciple greets Master's wife."

This made Meng Huang'er very happy, and she immediately took out some spirit stones, pills, and cultivation techniques and gave them to Yue Tang.

After finishing the business, Chen Ping instructed the two:

"Nan Yun, you will stay in my Daoist sanctum to cultivate. You can also walk around the market at will, but you are not allowed to return to Fragmented Star Market unless I return."

"Yes," Nan Yun said with a smile.

"Tang'er, when I'm not around, you should cultivate diligently. If you encounter any cultivation problems, you can ask your Uncle Zuo and your Uncle Guo. I have already greeted them."

"Yes, Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently!" Yue Tang nodded.

Chen Ping nodded slightly, then summoned the White Jade Flying Boat and left Floating Light Market with Meng Huang'er, heading to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

One day, when he returns to Floating Light Market, Chen Ping will definitely be a Golden Core True Person, and at that time, he will sweep through Hao Yu Sea!

Several days later, Chen Ping arrived at Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Compared to last time, Eastern Wasteland Immortal City has expanded a lot. Immortal Qi surrounds it, clouds and mist billow, making people yearn for it.

I wonder how many years it will take to transform Floating Light Market into such a state.

Chen Ping arrived at the Eastern Xuan Sect branch hall. The person who received him was actually Mo Douguang, with white hair and a haggard look:

"Uncle Chen, long time no see."

Chen Ping was shocked. Mo Douguang had also failed to advance to the Golden Core stage.
