Mortal Alchemy

“Stop right there, spirit herb!”

Qi Feiyang's excited, booming voice echoed behind Chen Ping's white jade flying boat.

Chen Ping's expression darkened: “Spirit herb?”

It seemed Qi Feiyang and the others were still under the illusion, but unfortunately, Chen Ping couldn't dispel it. He could only urge the white jade flying boat to continue flying.

The many Golden Core cultivators in the water pavilion wore subtle expressions.

The female cultivators from the Myriad Desire Pavilion sneered: “So these are the Demon Subduing Sect disciples, completely fooled by a fox king!”

“A flying spirit herb, how absurd, he he he~”

This female cultivator even cackled like a goose, her body trembling with laughter, radiating alluring charm.

The Demon Subduing Sect's Golden Core cultivator's old face darkened, and he fell silent: “We must strengthen our Foundation Establishment disciples' resistance and recognition of illusions in the future.”

……

“Bang—”

Chen Ping underestimated the speed of Qi Feiyang, this sword cultivator, who actually caught up in such a short time.

Qi Feiyang unleashed a sword strike, trying to block Chen Ping's path.

Chen Ping countered with a sword of his own.

In Qi Feiyang's eyes, it was the demonic beast guarding the fourth-tier spirit herb that had attacked: “What a powerful demonic beast!”

Chen Ping didn't want to get entangled and immediately pushed the white jade flying boat to its maximum speed, shaking off Qi Feiyang.

Then, the white jade flying boat disappeared into the massive clouds. Chen Ping quickly used the Turtle Breath Technique and an Invisibility Talisman, stowed away the white jade flying boat, and, with his arm around Zhou Ying's waist, hid in the clouds.

Being held by Chen Ping, Zhou Ying's pretty face flushed red, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. For the first time, she proactively reached out her jade arms and gently hooked them around Chen Ping's neck, her breath fragrant as orchids, as she softly asked:

“Senior Brother, what's going on?”

Chen Ping explained: “A third-tier Heavenly Fox King is chasing me. This Heavenly Fox King's illusions are extremely powerful; it has used illusions to deceive the Demon Subduing Sect cultivators, mistaking us for a spirit herb and a demonic beast.”

With fragrant, soft jade in his arms, and a sweet fragrance filling his nostrils, Chen Ping had no leisure to savor the moment.

“Whoosh—”

A moment later, many Demon Subduing Sect disciples flew past them.

On the ground, the Heavenly Fox King said: “This little thief is hiding in the clouds, afraid to show himself!”

“This group of useless cultivators can't even find his whereabouts?”

“Roar!” The Red-Eyed Tiger King roared and said: “Master, the spirit herb and demonic beast are in the clouds and haven't left. Hmph, they can't escape my keen sense of smell!”

The Heavenly Fox King's fox eyes revealed a hint of anger: “A bunch of good-for-nothings!”

“Twenty cultivators are still too few; it seems I need to enslave some more cultivators!”

No matter what, she had to find the little thief who stole the Vajra Wrathful Gaze Fruit!

No matter how Chen Ping changed direction, the cultivators and the Heavenly Fox King were hot on his heels. Chen Ping's face darkened:

“With the Red-Eyed Tiger King around, my scent can't be concealed. The Red-Eyed Tiger King can always smell my scent!”

This stupid spirit pet was actually helping the evildoer, putting Chen Ping in a difficult position.

Chen Ping was also angry and even thought about tearing up the spirit pet contract and killing this Red-Eyed Tiger King.

But the Red-Eyed Tiger King still had some value to him, so he would spare its dog life for now!

“I have to think of a way to kill this Heavenly Fox King and make it dispel the illusion.” Chen Ping, with Zhou Ying in his arms, asked:

“Junior Sister, what's the strongest talisman you currently possess, and can it injure a third-tier demonic beast?”

Zhou Ying's beautiful eyes seriously pondered, her voice charming and seductive:

“Third-tier demonic beasts have incredibly strong bodies. With Junior Sister's current talisman-making level, even if I can injure a third-tier demonic beast, I won't be able to severely wound it.”

“If Senior Brother wants to resolve the threat posed by that Heavenly Fox King, Junior Sister does possess an ancient talisman that can directly attack its divine soul, causing a significant amount of damage.”

Chen Ping's expression lit up: “You actually have such an ancient talisman? How many of these talismans do you have, Junior Sister?”

It seemed this was a legacy that Zhou Ying had obtained from the Heavenly Venerate Sect.

With this, Chen Ping could implement a plan to have the Treasure-Seeking Mink approach the Heavenly Fox King. Within a thousand zhang, Chen Ping could use his divine soul power to activate this talisman and attack the Heavenly Fox King!

Zhou Ying's expression was slightly embarrassed and apologetic:

“Senior Brother, Junior Sister hasn't had time to make this kind of talisman. I do have the materials, but no finished products.”

Chen Ping didn't blame Zhou Ying, and gently patted her plump, full buttocks:

“It doesn't matter. How long will it take for Junior Sister to make this talisman?”

Zhou Ying's delicate body felt ticklish but had also adapted to this kind of ambiguous behavior with Chen Ping, and said:

“For this kind of ancient talisman, Junior Sister may need half a month or even a month to make it.”

Chen Ping calculated the time and said: “Alright, then Junior Sister should focus on making the talisman. I'll try my best to stall for time and buy time for Junior Sister.”

Helpless, Chen Ping had to summon the white jade flying boat again, giving Zhou Ying a safe and secure environment to make the talisman.

The number of Invisibility Talismans was limited, and he couldn't drag it out indefinitely. Otherwise, Chen Ping could take Zhou Ying and continue to hide in the sky using Invisibility Talismans until the end of the Changtian Secret Realm.

Moreover, the Heavenly Fox King wouldn't give up so easily.

He saw Qi Feiyang leading twenty disciples, continuously searching for his whereabouts in this area of the sky.

And on the ground, the Heavenly Fox King left with the Red-Eyed Tiger King, seemingly to enslave another batch of human cultivators.

……

Among a mountain range.

Pink mist permeated everywhere.

One demonic beast after another lost their minds due to the pink mist, and as soon as they appeared, female cultivators from the Myriad Desire Pavilion would appear and kill the demonic beasts, then focus on collecting spirit herbs in this place.

In this area, there were as many as thirty female cultivators from the Myriad Desire Pavilion, led by Senior Sister Hua Miaoli.

The Myriad Desire Pavilion's charm techniques were truly powerful, not only able to bewitch cultivators but also demonic beasts.

Among the four sects, the Myriad Desire Pavilion was the most relaxed and comfortable in the Changtian Secret Realm, easily reaping the lives of demonic beasts and collecting points.

“As for third-tier spirit herbs, the cultivators from the other three sects will naturally work hard to fight for them. I'll just accumulate points quickly step by step. When I become the number one on the list, I'll be able to obtain a large number of third-tier spirit herbs.”

This woman, Hua Miaoli, was not simple, and her plans were very deep.

Suddenly, the pink mist in the mountain range dissipated. Hua Miaoli's expression changed, and she scolded:

“Who's there?”

“Could it be Nephew Hua from the Myriad Desire Pavilion? I am Chen Ping from the Eastern Xuan Sect. I have a grand plan to discuss with Nephew Hua.” A Red-Eyed Tiger King appeared, with a handsome male cultivator on its back.

“A cultivator from the Eastern Xuan Sect?” Hua Miaoli was stunned for a moment, then giggled:

“If Uncle wants to discuss important matters with me, why not discuss them in bed? Let me enjoy myself first~”

As soon as she spoke, many female cultivators attacked, and pink mist rushed towards the figure on the back of the Red-Eyed Tiger King.

The Heavenly Fox King's eyes revealed a look of disdain: “Petty tricks. Hmph!”

With a cold snort, the many pink mists collapsed, backfiring on the many female cultivators of the Myriad Desire Pavilion, causing them to become aroused, their delicate bodies flushed red, filled with lust.

Hua Miaoli's face changed drastically: “What powerful divine soul power!”

Then Chen Ping's voice came: “Nephew Hua, why not join forces with me? After it's done, how about I help you capture a batch of disciples to be used as cauldrons for you all?”

Hua Miaoli's face lit up with joy: “How can I trust Uncle?”

Chen Ping's voice came: “I, Chen Ping, am willing to make a Demonic Heart Oath. As long as Nephew Hua helps me, I, Chen Ping, will definitely capture a batch of cultivators and send them to Nephew Hua to be used as cauldrons.”

What did Chen Ping making a Demonic Heart Oath have to do with her, the Heavenly Fox King?

Hua Miaoli laughed so hard that her body trembled:

“He he he, I didn't expect the Eastern Xuan Sect cultivators to be willing to join forces with the Myriad Desire Pavilion. Then please lead the way, Uncle~”
