Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping sent someone to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City with a message.

In the following days, Chen Ping imparted the complete second-order alchemy inheritance to Meng Huang'er.

As a celebration, Mu Lu妃 spent two or three months refining a second-order alchemy furnace for Meng Huang'er.

It was worth six thousand spirit stones.

With this, Meng Huang'er was on equal footing with Mu Lu妃.

After Meng Huang'er advanced to Foundation Establishment, she became much more confident.

The cautiousness and inferiority of the past disappeared.

And Meng Huang'er was finally qualified to accept the second-order inheritance of the Heavenly Venerable Sect. After she comprehended it, she could participate in the ancient tree inheritance like Mu Lu妃 and possess better cultivation methods.

The Eastern Wasteland Immortal City was currently in full swing, fighting fiercely with妖兽 and魔修.

Bai Jianjia was temporarily unable to make a trip to Floating Light Square City.

There was no need to refine many pills for the time being, so Meng Huang'er replaced Chen Ping in refining pills. Firstly, it was for Chen Ping to fully enhance his body cultivation, and secondly, for Meng Huang'er to accumulate experience.

Chen Ping soaked in the medicinal bath, his body glistening, his brow slightly furrowed:

"I'm at the peak of second-order body cultivation..."

In the past few years, apart from refining the Yan Dao Pill, all the remaining spirit stone resources were piled on body cultivation.

There was no joy in Chen Ping's eyes, but rather a frown: "The bottleneck of this second-order body cultivation is really difficult."

"If I rely on the current slow and steady approach, it will take at least three or four more years."

It was not difficult to advance to the third-order body cultivation in three or four years with slow and steady work.

The key was that Chen Ping was out of money.

Chen Ping's pockets were empty, and he was once again reduced to a pauper.

Refining the Yan Dao Pill cost money, and body cultivation also cost money. Chen Ping originally had some money, but this sum of spirit stones was given to Meng Huang'er to refine pills and accumulate experience.

"To break through to the third-order body cultivation, I have to constantly take Yang Shen Pills..."

Refining a furnace of Yang Shen Pills, based on the current material prices, costs as much as eight thousand spirit stones per furnace!

Compared to his previous estimate of five thousand spirit stones per furnace, it was a full three thousand spirit stones more expensive!

Some spiritual herbs can be purchased in Shattered Star Square City, and some are only available in Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Even though Chen Ping was a second-order alchemist, he felt his heart bleeding when taking pills that cost eight thousand spirit stones per furnace, feeling like he couldn't afford them.

Although there were two second-order alchemy furnaces now, there was only one second-order spiritual fire. Chen Ping's cold ice ghost fire had previously been divided to Mu Lu妃 for Qi refining. Only a few years have passed, and Chen Ping's cold ice spiritual fire has not fully recovered and cannot be divided again.

Most of the pills refined by Chen Ping and Meng Huang'er could not be sold to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Counting them, Floating Light Square City currently has seven Foundation Establishment cultivators: Chen Ping, Mu Lu妃, Meng Huang'er, Zhou Ying, Zuo Yinghong, Fang Xing, and Luo Chongzhi.

The most profitable was still the first-order Beauty Preservation Pill, followed by the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The profit of the Beauty Preservation Pill was fixed, because Chen Ping was not the only one selling first-order Beauty Preservation Pills in the Eastern Region cultivation world. There were also some in the black market auction.

If you sell the price too high, others will directly buy it at the black market auction.

The materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were all purchased from Shattered Star Square City. Because of the spiritual fire problem, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills produced each month was fixed and could not be sold outside of Floating Light Square City. Meng Huang'er's small production was digested within Floating Light Square City.

In addition, Chen Ping had to refine second-order Spirit Purification Pills for Mu Lu妃 and Meng Huang'er to take.

Chen Ping sighed: "If only there was another spiritual fire."

He couldn't afford a third-order spiritual fire, and he couldn't buy a second-order spiritual fire.

"I can only take the risk and ask Senior Sister Bai for help," Chen Ping thought to himself.

Because of the spiritual storm problem, there was almost no spiritual fire in Hao Yu Sea.

A spiritual fire needs to be nurtured in a specific environment for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to be produced.

These spiritual veins in Hao Yu Sea have only been around for hundreds of years, and there is simply not enough environment to nurture spiritual fire.

"Fortunately, Brother Diao is still sleeping, otherwise, once it wakes up, I will really be unable to make ends meet," Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh.

More than half a year passed in a flash, and the fourteenth year of the demon tide war began.

Floating Light Square City actually began to snow, which was rare.

This made many people panic.

"Floating Light Square City actually snows?"

Not to mention others, Chen Ping was the first time seeing Floating Light Square City snowing after being the city lord for so long.

Many people muttered and discussed: "Could it be that something big is going to happen?"

In this atmosphere of panic, Bai Jianjia unexpectedly arrived at Floating Light Square City.

Chen Ping was full of surprise and accident: "Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Bai Jianjia said: "After fighting for so long, both sides are about to reach an agreement. There haven't been so many battles recently, so I happened to have time to visit you, Junior Brother."

Chen Ping nodded and asked, "Senior Sister, do you know what's going on with the snowfall in this area of thousands of miles?"

Bai Jianjia said lightly: "This is an anomaly caused by an old Nascent Soul ancestor of the Wonderful Desire Tower sealing a demon emperor."

Chen Ping's expression shook: "The power of Nascent Soul is so powerful?"

Bai Jianjia said: "Many cultivators will never see a Nascent Soul ancestor take action in their entire lives. The power of Nascent Soul can kill enemies thousands of miles away with a single sword."

"If several Nascent Soul cultivators fight each other, the entire Eastern Region cultivation world will be reduced to ruins."

"This is also the reason why the four major sects in the Eastern Region cultivation world have many contradictions and do not deal with each other, but they have existed since ancient times. Each sect has a Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in town."

Chen Ping was horrified.

Knowing the reason, Chen Ping nodded: "Senior Sister Bai, can you help me acquire a second-order spiritual fire?"

"Second-order spiritual fire?" Bai Jianjia didn't ask why and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll bring it to you next time."

Finally, the most important thing has arrived.

Chen Ping brought the loli version of Meng Huang'er to Bai Jianjia: "Senior Sister Bai, do you think Huang'er can join the Eastern Profound Sect?"

"Hmm?" Bai Jianjia swept her divine sense over, her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was a little unbelievable: "You are actually at the Foundation Establishment stage, and you have also reversed your age!"

She naturally knew Meng Huang'er.

Meng Huang'er was a little nervous, and gave a graceful salute, saying:

"Immortal Jianjia, after I awakened my spiritual body, I became like this. My husband bought me a Foundation Establishment Pill, so I entered the Foundation Establishment stage."

Naturally, the truth cannot be told to Bai Jianjia.

Bai Jianjia carefully looked at Meng Huang'er, and her terrifying divine sense swept over her body again and again, marveling:

"The awakening of an acquired spiritual body actually has such good fortune. Could it be a reward from heaven?"

She naturally didn't ask what kind of spiritual body Meng Huang'er had. This was the most important secret of every special cultivator.

She was also a special cultivator.

Chen Ping asked with a smile: "Senior Sister... do you think Huang'er's situation can allow her to join the Eastern Profound Sect?"

Bai Jianjia pondered for a while and said:

"There is no problem in joining the Eastern Profound Sect. Junior Nephew Meng has awakened a special spiritual body and can even join the Punishment Peak."

This made Chen Ping and Meng Huang'er overjoyed!
