Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping had advanced to become a third-order body cultivator right before her eyes. With such a foundation, he could certainly use some third-order pills. At the very least, healing, restoring spiritual power, and divine soul power were essential.

At crucial moments, they could become the key to reversing the situation.

Chen Ping took the third-order spatial ring and said, "It's so big!"

This third-order spatial ring was much larger than the second-order one.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Chen Ping could count the items in the spatial ring.

It was also difficult for Bai Jianjia to prepare so many things for him in nine years.

Then, Bai Jianjia bit her pink lips lightly and said,

"Junior Brother, as for the two portions of Three Lights Divine Water, I need some more time to prepare."

"No problem," Chen Ping nodded.

He already had a portion of Three Lights Divine Water. The extra two portions were naturally for his women to use.

It depended on who reached the peak of Foundation Establishment first.

There was still plenty of time.

His several confidantes were still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

While there was still time, Chen Ping asked,

"Senior Sister, I would like to inquire about the news of the Golden Core Seed Battle, so I can prepare in advance."

Bai Jianjia's eyes narrowed, and she said,

"Ruthless!"

"If you take the stage, Junior Brother, you must not hold back in any way. Every attack must be with all your strength, and you must resolve your opponent as quickly as possible!"

"In the cultivation world, there are many methods such as curses, spirit pets, Gu worms, talismans, illusions, formations, divine soul secret techniques, and puppeteer techniques."

"If you hesitate even slightly, you can easily be ambushed and die on the spot."

"When I went to the Golden Core Seed Battle, I fought against a cultivator from the Myriad Desire Pavilion. The opponent attacked with spirit pets, illusions, and divine soul secret techniques simultaneously, and I was instantly defeated."

"Fortunately, I had the Myriad Manifestations Turbulent Flow Sword and used Sword Qi Preservation from the beginning, so I was lucky enough to save my life."

Chen Ping's expression turned stern: "So dangerous?"

Bai Jianjia said: "Our Dao spiritual roots and special spiritual bodies have relatively strong battle power, but they are not invincible."

"What's more, the cultivation world never lacks enlightenment geniuses who overcome those above them. Junior Brother, you are an enlightenment genius. Although you have an ordinary body, ordinary spiritual bodies are no match for you in one move."

"The Golden Core Seed Battle involves the resources for advancing to Golden Core and even Nascent Soul, so everyone who takes the stage must be prepared to pay with their lives."

"Every step above Foundation Establishment involves countless corpses. When the Great Dao is in front of you, there is no room for sentiment."

Chen Ping nodded seriously:

"Junior Brother understands and will make sufficient preparations, and the attacks will be ruthless enough!"

Chen Ping then asked: "Senior Sister, how many people from our Eastern Xuan Sect will participate in the Golden Core Seed Battle this time?"

Bai Jianjia said: "There should be three or four hundred."

Chen Ping was a little surprised: "So many?"

Bai Jianjia said with a smile:

"After all, the rewards for the Golden Core Seed Battle are very generous. The four sects jointly provide the prizes. As long as you make it into the top five hundred, you will receive a reward."

"Last time in the Everlasting Sky Secret Realm, many well-connected individuals with extraordinary bloodlines snatched the spots."

"This time, the Golden Core Seed Battle has no limit on the number of participants. Many disciples from similar backgrounds as Junior Brother want to take this opportunity to strive for Golden Core resources, so they don't have to wait bitterly for the Three Lights Divine Water."

"If they are lucky enough to obtain a third-order resource that suits them, they can strive for Golden Core. If they succeed, they can sell the Three Lights Divine Water for a good price."

Chen Ping was speechless: "...They really don't let go of any opportunity or resource."

But thinking about it, most Foundation Establishment cultivators can only participate in this once in their lives, so wouldn't they desperately embark on the path of immortality?

In that case, how many would be willing?

Chen Ping asked again: "How many elite geniuses from Punishment Peak are participating?"

Bai Jianjia had already counted them and said: "Sixty-three."

"...Among them, five are registered disciples of the other two peak masters. Their strength is strong, and if you encounter them, they will become powerful opponents for Junior Brother."

Chen Ping's heart tightened. Now that his strength had reached this level, there were five Foundation Establishment cultivators from just Punishment Peak who could compete with him.

What about the other peaks? It should be known that some Nascent Soul direct descendants, Golden Core direct descendants, and Nascent Soul registered disciples are still lurking below the surface.

An invisible mountain of pressure suddenly fell on Chen Ping's heart.

To achieve a good ranking in the Golden Core Seed Battle would probably be a bloody storm and not easy to do.

All of a sudden, Chen Ping lost confidence in himself.

Bai Jianjia chuckled and said:

"Master will definitely favor Junior Brother. In a few days, Master should leak information about those in the sect who pose a threat to Junior Brother."

Chen Ping's heart warmed.

"As for the information on the disciples of the other three sects, it is all hidden, so I can't help Junior Brother."

Chen Ping took a deep breath: "I will do my best."

After chatting about these things, Bai Jianjia left to busy herself with going out to do tasks and earn money.

Chen Ping stayed in his own Dao field and began to familiarize himself with the third-order spiritual fire and the third-order pill furnace.

With Chen Ping's current divine sense power of nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang, it was not very difficult to control the third-order spiritual fire and pill furnace.

The subtle thing was whether Chen Ping could succeed in refining the Golden Spirit Guidance Pill in one attempt was a question mark.

He studied the pill properties and pill formula of the Golden Spirit Guidance Pill, and Chen Ping began to practice with some corresponding medicinal materials and pills in advance.

The remaining time was spent refining the Violet Firmament Sword and the Qianlong Armor.

Time passed quickly.

Chen Ping now had enough money to squander, so he had to ensure that he succeeded in refining the Golden Spirit Guidance Pill for the first time.

Nine thousand middle-grade spirit stones were equivalent to nine million low-grade spirit stones. Of course, this amount of money was not enough for Chen Ping to buy a few more third-order magic treasures. Otherwise, he would definitely arm himself to the teeth.

There were three months left before the Golden Core Seed Battle.

This day.

Superior Palace Moon appeared in Chen Ping's Dao field.

Chen Ping immediately got up, cupped his fists, and said: "Disciple greets Master."

"Not bad, not bad, Ping'er, your cultivation speed has not disgraced your master's prestige." Superior Palace Moon's tone was gentle, and her face had a warm smile:

"Has the sword path been neglected?"

Chen Ping thought for a moment and said, "Disciple has already comprehended Sword Steel Condensed Fiend."

This made Superior Palace Moon show joy in her eyes for the first time:

"Ping'er is indeed like me."

Chen Ping, with his ordinary aptitude, comprehended Sword Steel Condensed Fiend during the Foundation Establishment stage. This kind of enlightenment was really not bad.

Worthy of being her disciple.

Chen Ping did not wait for Superior Palace Moon's praise, but instead waited for a question: "Ping'er, Myriad Manifestations Turbulent Flow Sword, which style have you cultivated to?"

Chen Ping said, "The fifth style."

Superior Palace Moon frowned slightly, but her tone did not change:

"Ping'er, in the next three months, don't be busy with other things. Try to comprehend the sixth and seventh styles as soon as possible."

Chen Ping was puzzled: "Master, why?"

Superior Palace Moon revealed the secret in one sentence:

"Only the power of the sixth and seventh styles can allow you to destroy third-order magic treasures in one move during the Foundation Establishment stage."

"If you don't know it, others will."

"You must at least comprehend the sixth and seventh styles to have a chance to win this battle."

Chen Ping was immediately horrified, and cold sweat seeped out directly.

He almost fell into a misunderstanding. Third-order magic treasures were not invincible either.
