Mortal Alchemy

"Indeed, I was right..."

After six days and six nights, Chen Ping's eyes were bloodshot, but filled with excitement and elation: "The demon core is the most difficult to handle, even a wood-attributed demon core has a lot of impurities inside..."

"Evaporation with spiritual water can remove internal impurities."

"Next, it's time to add the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Jade Marrow Fungus, and Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk."

Chen Ping was not in a hurry, intending to use the most straightforward method to the end, pouring some more spiritual water into it, and then adding these three medicinal ingredients.

"Next, it's time to wait quietly for six hours!"

Chen Ping carefully observed the changes in the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace, controlling the heat, while taking out pills and quickly refining them.

If he didn't have the body of a second-tier body cultivator, he wouldn't be able to withstand six days and six nights without rest.

Not to mention being mentally excited while refining pills.

Chen Ping didn't dare to blink his eyes, fearing that even a slight accident would ruin this furnace of pills.

His heart was pounding, extremely nervous.

Six hours later, a smile appeared on Chen Ping's face: "No problem."

Finally, Chen Ping opened the jade box of the Purple Monkey Flower and placed the Purple Monkey Flower into the pill furnace.

Chen Ping immediately turned off the furnace fire.

According to the method left by the ancestors, the Purple Monkey Flower should be added last, the fire turned off, and then wait quietly.

As long as the fragrance of the pill wafts out, it proves that the Foundation Establishment Pill has succeeded.

Chen Ping's spiritual sense was also exhausted to the extreme at this time, unable to use his spiritual sense to control the pill furnace.

That feeling of excitement gradually faded away, replaced by an unprecedented sense of exhaustion.

Chen Ping wanted to sleep at this moment, he was too sleepy.

Then, many distracting thoughts flooded into his mind, and he forced himself not to rest at this moment, but to stare at the Azure Luan Furnace.

He must see if the Foundation Establishment Pill has succeeded.

Time passed bit by bit.

No fragrance of pills wafted out of the Azure Luan Furnace.

This made Chen Ping's heart 'thump'.

Could it be that the Foundation Establishment Pill failed to refine?

Under extreme fatigue, Chen Ping lost some patience.

A voice in his heart told him: "If you want to know if the Foundation Establishment Pill has succeeded, wouldn't you know by opening the pill furnace?"

Just as Chen Ping was about to act, another voice emerged in his heart:

"If the Foundation Establishment Pill is still brewing at this time, and you open the pill furnace, causing the Foundation Establishment Pill to fail, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"Wait a little longer, it's not too late to open the pill furnace after the pill furnace has completely cooled down."

His mind was wavering, and Chen Ping fell into anxiety and pain.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he desperately controlled himself not to touch the pill furnace.

He forced himself to take pills and refine them, he told himself: "If the Foundation Establishment Pill fails, then I will just try to break through to Foundation Establishment!"

"A 70% probability of Foundation Establishment is already not low! Most cultivators don't have as high a probability as I do when breaking through to Foundation Establishment!"

"Chen Ping, whether the Foundation Establishment Pill succeeds or not, it's your fate, and you have to accept it!"

After spending nearly ten years planning for the Foundation Establishment Pill, if it failed, Chen Ping really had no choice.

After he warned himself like this, his heart became much calmer and more peaceful.

He began to earnestly refine pills to restore his state, and then unknowingly, he fell asleep.

He was too tired.

For the sake of Foundation Establishment, he hadn't rested much in the past ten years, either improving his cultivation, or making money, or running around for the spiritual objects for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He hadn't dreamed in a long time. In his dream, he found that his pill refining had failed, and the Foundation Establishment Pill had not succeeded.

Chen Ping did not feel regret or annoyance, but calmly accepted everything.

"...I was originally just a cowherd, I should be satisfied to be able to get to where I am today."

"Even if the Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't succeed, I should still try to break through, and not waste my youthful time."

In his dream, he vaguely saw Mu Luofei, who had already successfully established her foundation, waving to him: "Junior Brother... I'm waiting for you in the Eastern Xuan Sect..."

Also, Fang Xing, Luo Chongzhi, Han Tongbao, and Lin Feixian of Jiazi Courtyard had all established their foundations.

All seven people in Jiazi Courtyard established their foundations, making the Mu family famous.

After that, Zhou Ying also successfully established her foundation and joined the Eastern Xuan Sect. In front of the hundred thousand steps, she gave Chen Ping a charming smile:

"From today onwards, this concubine will call you Junior Brother Chen!"

Also, Meng Huang'er didn't know where she got her chance, but she successfully established her foundation at the old age of nearly forty!

Meng Huang'er giggled嬌笑着: "I'll have to keep calling you Junior Brother Chen in the future!"

Not finished yet, at the end of the dream, Mu Xingling also established her foundation...

"Boom!"

Chen Ping's body trembled, and he woke up from his dream, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He looked terrified: "Am I too worried and thinking too much, so I had this dream?"

But there's nothing that can be done about it, which cultivator doesn't dream about the Foundation Establishment hurdle?

Beauty, status, identity, strength, lifespan, everything is related to Foundation Establishment.

He wiped away his cold sweat and slowly looked at the Azure Luan Furnace.

The temperature of the Azure Luan Furnace had long since dissipated, returning to its icy cold temperature.

And Chen Ping did not smell any pill fragrance in the pill refining room.

He had already realized that he might have failed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

His expression was calm, and his mind was also calm, because he had already warned himself.

So until this moment, there was nothing to worry about.

He slowly got up and came to the Azure Luan Furnace.

Then he used his hand to open the top of the furnace.

There was no smell at all.

The first thing that came into view was a piece of black coke on the pill grid, which was the failed Foundation Establishment Pill.

Chen Ping just glanced at it, and then looked at the top of the pill furnace to see if there was any remaining pill essence liquid left, so that it could be used during Foundation Establishment at least.

His eyes were stunned: "None?!"

"Not even a little pill essence liquid?"

"Okay..." Chen Ping let out a soft bitter smile.

Just as he was about to use his mana to clean up the medicinal residue in the pill furnace.

"Huh?"

Chen Ping saw two intact pills on the pill grid.

Chen Ping's body trembled, his eyes shook, and he couldn't believe it: "This is... the Foundation Establishment Pill?!"

"There are two intact Foundation Establishment Pills?!"

"But, why didn't I smell the fragrance of the pill?"

Chen Ping slapped his forehead: "How long have I been sleeping, the Azure Luan Furnace has long since cooled down..."

"Even if there was a medicinal fragrance, it should have dissipated long ago, so I can't smell the fragrance of the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Chen Ping carefully and cautiously took out the two Foundation Establishment Pills as if they were treasures.

Their surface was milky white, with a faint fragrance, and there were shallow纹路 on the surface of the pill.

Like the most precious treasures, rare, mysterious, and coveted and madly desired.

"This, is the Foundation Establishment Pill." Chen Ping inspected the Foundation Establishment Pill according to the methods left by the inheritance, and confirmed that it was correct.

"These are two high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, the medicinal power is intact, and the pill poison is rare, so they can be called high-grade."

After a long time, a shallow smile appeared on Chen Ping's face:

"Ten years of hard work have finally paid off, and it can be considered that I have not wasted my youth."

"Next, it's time to break through to Foundation Establishment..."

Chen Ping's expression and mood were very relaxed, and a faint feeling of joy arose.
