Mortal Alchemy

After Fang Xing and the others left.

Chen Ping found Nan Yun and told her about Deng Xuan's matter at sea.

Nan Yun was a little surprised: "Such a big thing, yet there isn't even a whisper of it..."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Only in this way can I determine that the Immortal Merchant Guild is formed by a third-order immortal clan."

Regardless of the internal conflicts within the clan, important news will not be leaked out. The Immortal Merchant Guild has been operating for nearly a thousand years, and its internal rules are complex and comprehensive.

Nan Yun said: "No wonder this concubine has been inquiring for so long, but hasn't been able to gather much useful information."

Chen Ping instructed: "How is your recruitment of people going?"

Nan Yun: "I've already developed some people, but these people are all fence-sitters, and my husband shouldn't rely on them too much."

"At most, they can be used to gather some unimportant intelligence."

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators who struggle from the bottom up are not simple-minded.

Chen Ping anticipated this point, so he prepared dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills in advance:

"Yun'er, go and gather some Qi Refining cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, assess their character, and if they are willing to make a Heart Demon Oath to be used by us, then they can be given a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"This group of people will be under your jurisdiction, and you will order them all to join the Immortal Merchant Guild."

"Even within the Immortal Merchant Guild, you can find some illegitimate descendants who are not successful."

She was born in the Vast Jade Sea and felt that a man should be ambitious and do great things!

Nan Yun offered her red lips: "This concubine will definitely handle this matter well for my husband."

......

Two months later.

Chen Ping met six young boys and girls. The Fang, Luo, and Han families each sent two descendants, one boy and one girl.

"Luo Zhengting greets Uncle Ping and Aunt Yun." Close relations call her Aunt, distant relations call her Madam.

"Luo Yuexing greets Uncle Ping and Aunt Yun."

"Fang Huashu greets Uncle Ping..."

"Fang Minting greets Uncle Ping..."

"Han Li greets Uncle Ping..."

"Han Xuelian greets Uncle Ping..."

The six young boys and girls, in front of Chen Ping and Nan Yun, either knelt on one knee, cupped their hands, or bowed gracefully.

Their expressions were restrained, and their eyes were respectful.

Standing in front of them was a Golden Core True Person, with a lifespan of four hundred years, a direct disciple of the Eastern Xuan Sect, and the owner of the Floating Light Square City.

The assets and status of their Han, Luo, and Fang families today were all bestowed by Uncle Ping.

Their parents had repeatedly told them before they set off not to displease Uncle Ping, and even more so, whether the six of them could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage depended on Uncle Ping's intentions.

"Good children." Chen Ping smiled: "Everyone, get up and sit down and talk."

The few people dismissed the formalities, but did not dare to sit down.

The family rules and customs were good, causing Chen Ping to nod slightly.

"I have seen and held you a few when you were young..." Chen Ping exchanged pleasantries.

"Before giving you the Foundation Establishment Pills, I need you to make a Heart Demon Oath that without my permission, you must not reveal any information about the Vast Jade Sea."

With the matter just starting, the Heart Demon Oath was the best method.

The few people's expressions were normal, obviously their families had already told them about this matter.

To this day, the families of the few people did not know about the Vast Jade Sea, and the few of them were only given a hint by their respective fathers when they were about to set off, but they did not reveal the situation of the Vast Jade Sea.

"Yes, Uncle Ping, I, Luo Zhengting, today..."

The six people made a Heart Demon Oath in front of Chen Ping.

Then Chen Ping took out six Foundation Establishment Pills from his space ring and gave them to them.

Chen Ping said:

"Yun'er, you take these nephews and nieces to familiarize themselves with the Shattered Star Square City and the situation here, teach them the rules, and then let them enter secluded cultivation to establish their foundations. I am going to refine pills..."

This time, he also took a lot of medicinal materials from the Floating Light Square City, and with the medicinal materials purchased in the Shattered Star Square City, Chen Ping could refine some second-order Enlightenment Pills, as well as other types of pills.

A month later.

Nan Yun found Chen Ping: "Husband, only two of those children successfully established their foundation."

"The remaining four all failed."

Chen Ping's expression did not change, and he said lightly:

"Failure to advance is common, but they are young and have a second chance. Polish their temperament, let them do some work, and then bestow the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Which two succeeded in establishing their foundation?"

"Han Li and Fang Minting," Nan Yun said.

Chen Ping took out a jade slip and said: "Let them take a trip to the Floating Light Square City and then return to the Shattered Star Square City, and bring this to Huang'er. These two people need to enter the Eastern Xuan Sect one after the other, so that the matter of Junior Brother Fang and the others will not be cut off."

For smuggling at sea, there must be at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator on board. Although Fang Xing and the others have been very careful for decades, and have summed up a route and have never made a mistake or run into anyone, it is most important to act cautiously.

"Yes, Husband." Nan Yun gave a graceful salute.

Chen Ping asked again: "Is there any movement from the Immortal Merchant Guild?"

Nan Yun's red lips curled up: "No, but in the past few days, several people from the Immortal Merchant Guild have been walking around near us, as if they are inquiring about Husband's news."

In this way, the net that Nan Yun had cast before had also worked. Even if they were fence-sitters, giving them a little profit would work.

With the people nearby as witnesses, Chen Ping's disguised identity of Tang Sheng can be confirmed, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the Immortal Merchant Guild.

Chen Ping smiled:

"It seems that the internal situation of the Immortal Merchant Guild has been settled, and Deng Xuan will send someone over soon."

Nan Yun said with a smile: "It seems that Husband's wish will be fulfilled."

......

Seven days later.

A Foundation Establishment elder wearing an Immortal Merchant Guild uniform walked into the shop where Chen Ping was and said with a kind expression:

"Are you Fellow Daoist Tang Sheng in person?"

Chen Ping cupped his hands: "It is indeed Tang."

"My name is Du Qihai, and I am taking a trip on behalf of the young mistress. Please invite Fellow Daoist Tang to the Immortal Merchant Guild as a guest."

Chen Ping's face showed joy: "Fellow Daoist Du, please wait a moment, Tang will call his wife up as well."

"Alright." Du Qihai nodded, revealing a smile.

This person has family members, which is more in line with the interests of the Immortal Merchant Guild.

A moment later, Du Qihai saw Nan Yun, and his eyes were somewhat surprised: "Fellow Daoist Nan Yun is actually married?"

After all, Nan Yun's reputation is not small.

A malicious glint flashed in Du Qihai's eyes. This woman has a reputation, and no one has ever taken advantage of her. This Tang Sheng actually married her. Hehe, what about that second-order alchemist, Ronghai Sanren?

Nan Yun took Chen Ping's arm and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Du, long time no see."

Chen Ping cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Du, please lead the way."
