Mortal Alchemy

The day the battle for the Seed of Nascent Soul began.

Standing on the grounds of the Myriad Desires Pavilion, I looked up at the sky, filled with magical artifacts, dense and numerous, like stars.

Many cultivators came to watch this battle. Disciples from the four major sects, unless they had urgent matters, came to observe.

In the coming year, the cultivators who will advance to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages are likely to be among those participating in this Seed of Nascent Soul battle.

From the Eastern Xuan Sect alone, more than 480 people participated, and over two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators watched. The four major sects had more than ten thousand observers.

The Myriad Desires Pavilion did not restrict outsiders. Many rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even Qi Refining cultivators, could come to watch. How lively it was!

Inside a pavilion, Bai Jianjia knocked on Chen Ping's door.

After a moment, Chen Ping came out: "Senior Sister."

"Junior Brother, it's time to depart." Bai Jianjia led Chen Ping out of the pavilion.

The disciples from the four sects who were participating were led by their elders to register and prepare to enter the arena.

The Myriad Desires Pavilion's arena, though called an arena, was actually a tall and majestic mountain range, one of the forbidden areas of the Myriad Desires Pavilion, only opened for the Seed of Nascent Soul battle.

On the way, the various sects were restless and employed various methods.

There were spirit pets roaring, shaking people's minds, and pink mists drifting, shuttling through the crowd, arousing lascivious thoughts.

Some with weak souls and wavering wills often turned pale. Before the competition even started, they were already injured. When they entered the arena, they were defeated before fighting.

Among them, the disciples of the Eastern Xuan Sect were the most affected in this regard.

A Golden Core True Person from the Heaven-Born Sect, who was leading disciples to complete the formalities, sarcastically said:

"The Seed of Nascent Soul battle is only for elite geniuses. What are the wastes from the Eastern Xuan Sect doing here?"

"They can't even resist such basic methods, they are simply wastes among wastes."

"I'm afraid that when they get to the arena, they will only stretch their necks and be slaughtered, becoming food."

"They are disgracing the four major sects."

Ling Xiao, who was leading the group this time, frowned and said lightly:

"The selection will reveal the truth. Besides playing with women, what else can your Heaven-Born Sect disciples offer?"

"The once-in-a-millennium Sword Spirit Root fell into your Heaven-Born Sect's hands and became a waste who only knows how to practice the Joyful Union. Isn't it embarrassing that the Sword Spirit Root joined the Myriad Desires Pavilion instead?"

The Heaven-Born Sect's Golden Core True Person sneered:

"Heaven-Born is without doctrine, I rejoice in my own pleasure. The ultimate joy of life lies in the affairs of men and women. Although my sect's disciples like to indulge in pleasure, they have always been first or second in the Seed of Nascent Soul battle for hundreds of years. Your Eastern Xuan Sect has been at the bottom for hundreds of years, and no one has ever reached first place."

"My sect's disciples like to indulge in pleasure, but they haven't neglected their duties. So, what's wrong with liking pleasure?"

"On the other hand, your Eastern Xuan Sect is rigid and outdated, unwilling to improve and expand outwards. You are good at internal strife. Such an outstanding disciple, instead of nurturing him properly, you are thinking of harming him."

"Such behavior makes the Heaven-Born Sect ashamed to be associated with the Eastern Xuan Sect."

"In my opinion, the Eastern Xuan Sect should disband and merge its disciples into the other three sects. This would save a lot of resources and cultivate more geniuses for the Eastern Region's cultivation world."

"This way, the Eastern Region's cultivation world can show its face to the Immortal Gate."

These words of the Heaven-Born Sect's Golden Core True Person satirized the shortcomings of the Eastern Xuan Sect incisively. As for the disciple he mentioned, he was referring to Chen Ping.

A mere mortal body, suppressing the Sword Spirit Root, his future is limitless.

The Eastern Xuan Sect didn't think about seriously nurturing Chen Ping, but instead tried to find ways to kill him, which was a laughing stock. This matter had already spread under the intelligence of various sects.

Ling Xiao's face was ashen, and he said coldly: "The Eastern Region's cultivation world was able to take root and be passed down generation after generation because the ancestors of the four major sects made great contributions to the Immortal Gate. How the Eastern Xuan Sect is run is not something a Golden Core like you can criticize."

"Although my sect's disciples have been at the bottom in the Seed of Nascent Soul battle for hundreds of years, most of the top geniuses have advanced to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages early on and simply disdain the Seed of Nascent Soul battle."

"Only crooked sects like your Heaven-Born Sect, who like to indulge in pleasure and are fond of boasting, value the ranking of the Seed of Nascent Soul battle so much."

The two people fought with words, exchanging blows back and forth.

Ling Xiao was furious, but he couldn't do anything about the Heaven-Born Sect's Golden Core True Person.

He could only hope that the sect's disciples would be more competitive in this Seed of Nascent Soul battle.

In the end, the Heaven-Born Sect's True Person sneered: "One thing on the surface, another in private, hypocrites. What kind of spirit did the Eastern Xuan Sect's ancestor have back then, drawing in the Milky Way and refining the Three Lights Divine Water? After thousands of years, passing it down to you, you have simply disgraced them."

"I am ashamed to be associated with you."

Then he left in a hurry, and the disciples under him registered and entered the arena.

In the end, there were still bursts of laughter, and the faces of the Demon Subduing Sect and the Myriad Desires Pavilion were also playful.

Ling Xiao's face turned liver-colored: "A bunch of bastards!"

But even he couldn't do anything about it. No one had brought out a fourth-order spiritual medicine from the Changtian Secret Realm for hundreds of years, which could still be used to refine the Eight Treasures Infant Protection Pill.

Because of this matter, a huge storm was stirred up, and the reputation of the Eastern Xuan Sect was severely humiliated. As the personal disciple of the Sect Master, he was helpless about this.

Wealth stirs people's hearts.

"After the Sect Master returns, he must rectify the rules!"

The sect's disciples shared the same honor and disgrace.

Seeing the sect being humiliated like this, everyone was also furious.

But the fact was indeed the case, so they could only swallow their anger and feel extremely aggrieved.

Behind them, Bai Jianjia led Chen Ping forward, teaching and instructing Chen Ping along the way:

"Junior Brother, for us sword cultivators, reputation is not important. We only seek to have a clear conscience."

"Junior Brother, you must pay attention to the female cultivator from the Heaven-Born Sect. She is the personal disciple of the current Heaven-Born Sect Master, named Lu Shuiyi, the current senior sister of the Heaven-Born Sect. Her strength is even above Luo Daoliu."

Chen Ping's face immediately straightened. Her strength was even above Luo Daoliu, so she was indeed not to be underestimated.

Bai Jianjia continued: "After Junior Brother seriously injured Luo Daoliu, his Dao heart was damaged. It is rumored that he has become a waste and is not worth mentioning."

"In addition, the female cultivator in Lu Shuiyi's arms, named Yan Chunlong, has the Illusion Spirit Root, and her strength is also not to be underestimated."

Lesbian?

Chen Ping looked up and saw a pair of peerless beauties with different appearances embracing each other, not caring about other people's gazes.

It was quite pleasing to the eye.

Seeming to feel Chen Ping's sharp and fierce gaze, the two women raised their eyes and met Chen Ping's gaze. There was a fierce collision of killing intent, making people feel frightened. After a moment, both sides withdrew their gazes.

Chen Ping withdrew his gaze and asked: "Senior Sister, who else should I pay attention to?"

Bai Jianjia continued: "Lu Jianyi from the Demon Subduing Sect. This person's reputation is not obvious, but he can exchange blows with the Demon Subduing Sect's Golden Core sword cultivator. His strength is hidden extremely deeply."

"Tie Xinyuan from the Demon Subduing Sect has the top-grade mutated Thunder Spirit Root. His Thunder attribute swordplay is extremely ferocious. It is rumored that the swordplay inheritance he received is no less than Master's swordplay inheritance."

Chen Ping's eyelids twitched.

No less than Gong Yue's swordplay inheritance, then his strength is also quite terrifying.
