Mortal Alchemy

“Good, good, good.”

Superior Moon Palace’s tone was filled with joy, and a smile bloomed on her exquisite jade face:

“As expected, Ping’er takes after this Palace.”

Back then, when Chen Ping faced oppression, he uttered those words about his mother.

Superior Moon Palace had intended for Bai Jianjia to take Chen Ping into seclusion for ten years, returning to the sect only after Chen Ping reached the Golden Core stage.

Who would have thought that her good disciple would trigger the heavenly tribulation at the very moment the battle for the Nascent Soul seed ended?

In full view of everyone, he advanced to the Golden Core stage in front of tens of thousands of cultivators.

This spirit and action were so similar to her own back then!

“Greetings, Master!” Chen Ping’s aura was sharp and domineering as he approached Superior Moon Palace, cupping his fist in salute.

Standing together with Superior Moon Palace now, he already bore a three-part resemblance to her.

Superior Moon Palace nodded her head slightly, her gaze satisfied: “Ping’er, return to the Eastern Xuan Sect with this Palace.”

“No one will dare to make things difficult for you again.”

“We will wait for the Headmaster Senior Brother to return to the sect, and then hold a True Inheritance Ceremony for you. This Palace will oversee it and hold a Golden Core Ceremony for you!”

Chen Ping nodded, his eyes sharp and calm:

“Yes, Master.”

No one supports my lofty ambitions, so I will tread through snow to the mountain's peak myself.

Now, the battle for the Nascent Soul seed had ended, and Chen Ping had successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The tens of thousands of cultivators also began to gradually disperse, each with their own matters to attend to.

“Little Moon Palace, your disciple is quite good~” A charming and alluring voice rang out, and a peerless, enchanting yet holy Nascent Soul Superior appeared.

Who would dare to profane a Nascent Soul Superior?

“When has this Palace’s judgment ever been poor?” Superior Moon Palace replied normally.

Bai Jianjia pursed her lips, silently.

That Nascent Soul Superior from the Myriad Desire Pavilion giggled:

“Nephew Chengping’s Tears of the Celestial Maiden are to be collected from this Palace at the Myriad Desire Pavilion thirty years from now. I came specifically to inform you.”

Chen Ping immediately cupped his fist in salute: “Thank you, Superior.”

After a burst of silvery laughter, the Nascent Soul Superior left.

“Ping’er, let’s go.”

“Master, please wait a moment. I will meet with my wives.”

With such joyous events for Chen Ping, he naturally wanted to meet with Mu Luofei and the others.

Previously, under the pressure of life and death, Chen Ping had not had the time to meet with them.

Superior Moon Palace did not stop Chen Ping, as this was Chen Ping’s time of great joy.

For Chen Ping to already be at the Golden Core stage at such a young age, it was normal for him to have several Daoist companions.

Even if Chen Ping had dozens of women, it would be normal in the Eastern Domain’s cultivation world, as long as Chen Ping formally married them, the Eastern Xuan Sect would not find anything wrong with it.

After all, the Golden Core cultivators of the Eastern Xuan Sect often had dozens of Daoist companions, and the Nascent Soul Superiors’ harems were even more than a hundred strong. It was not surprising.

“Go, it’s good timing for this teacher to say a few words to Little Bai.” Superior Moon Palace nodded her head slightly.

Chen Ping flew to the front of the women, landing on the deck of Mu Luofei’s white jade flying boat.

Mu Luofei stood in front of the women, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness, affection, and longing, her face still bearing traces of tears that had not completely dried. She gracefully bowed:

“Congratulations, Junior Brother, on reaching the Golden Core stage!”

Mu Luofei’s aura was not far from the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Perhaps in a few decades, she would be able to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment and advance to the Golden Core stage, so Chen Ping would not have to wait too long.

Chen Ping laughed loudly: “Senior Sister must work harder and not keep me waiting for too long.”

Mu Luofei covered her mouth and chuckled: “I know, I will cultivate doubly hard from now on.”

Back then, Chen Ping had made a Demonic Heart Oath that he would not marry a Daoist companion until he reached the Golden Core stage.

Now, decades had passed, and Chen Ping had already stepped into the Golden Core stage. The two were in love and regarded each other as Daoist companions.

At present, they only needed to wait for Mu Luofei to advance to the Golden Core stage, but Mu Luofei’s aptitude was also ordinary. Whether she could successfully step into the Golden Core stage next year was still a matter of great uncertainty.

Today, Chen Ping advancing to the Golden Core stage in front of her was undoubtedly a matter that boosted her mind and Dao Heart. Perhaps in the future, it could provide some help for her to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Chen Ping had not married a Daoist companion, so Zhou Ying did not dare to conceive Chen Ping’s child, as that would be against the rules.

As for Meng Huang’er, her spiritual body was special, and she would have to wait until Chen Ping advanced to the Nascent Soul or Transformation God stage next year before she would break her Yuan Yin.

Meng Huang’er stepped forward and gracefully bowed, her expression radiant and charming, her eyes sparkling:

“This concubine congratulates Junior Brother on reaching the Golden Core stage.”

Chen Ping smiled and accepted: “I was still worried about whether you and Ying’er would be in danger. It’s good that you were able to retreat safely from the battle for the Nascent Soul seed.”

Meng Huang’er pursed her lips: “Junior Brother really underestimates this concubine.”

“Sister Meng is right, Brother Ping underestimated us. In this battle for the Nascent Soul seed, both this concubine and Sister Meng obtained a stalk of Rank Three spiritual medicine.” Zhou Ying giggled, her eyes filled with affection and fiery desire:

“This concubine congratulates Brother Ping on reaching the Golden Core stage!”

In the end, the women all had some degree of intimate contact with Chen Ping.

Madam Guo stood aside and said, “Ping’er, congratulations on reaching the Golden Core stage and finally breathing freely!”

She did not bow gracefully.

“Mm.” Chen Ping nodded slightly: “Right now, I have to return to the Eastern Xuan Sect to cultivate in seclusion and stabilize my realm. Then, I will hold a True Inheritance Ceremony. Later, when I hold the Golden Core Ceremony, I will call you back.”

Chen Ping did not forget his goal:

“Senior Sister, Huang’er, return to the Floating Light Market and oversee it for me. Tell Junior Brother Luo and the others that I will be attacking the Hao Jade Sea soon.”

“Next, they must gather information about the Hao Jade Sea from Nan Yun. At the same time, they must vigorously expand the Floating Light Market and spread the word that I intend to build the market into an Immortal City.”

“And in the Floating Light Market, there is secretly a Rank Three Grand Alchemist overseeing it.”

“If you encounter suitable and reliable people, Senior Sister can take the initiative to accept them. If they are willing to make a Demonic Heart Oath, they can be regarded as our own people.”

A hint of excitement appeared in Mu Luofei’s eyes: “I have remembered it.”

What good things are in the Hao Jade Sea that Junior Brother is so interested in?

Chen Ping took out two portions of Three Lights Divine Water from his spatial ring: “The Hao Jade Sea is rich in resources, which can allow you to cultivate faster. I have already prepared the Three Lights Divine Water for you.”

The women’s expressions shook: “Two portions of Three Lights Divine Water!”

Zhou Ying and Madam Guo’s expressions flickered.

Meng Huang’er need not be said. She was a registered disciple of a Nascent Soul Superior and a disciple of the Punishment Peak. She would definitely have a bottle of Three Lights Divine Water in the future.

Zhou Ying’s Three Lights Divine Water was also in the queue.

The only ones without Three Lights Divine Water were Mu Luofei and Madam Guo.

If Zhou Ying could get Chen Ping’s bottle of Three Lights Divine Water, she could save her own bottle of Three Lights Divine Water for Madam Guo to use.

As soon as Chen Ping advanced to the Golden Core stage, he showed them his foundation, which made the women even more excited, understanding that Chen Ping was determined to obtain the Hao Jade Sea.

Suddenly, they became more concerned about the matters Chen Ping had entrusted to them.

This time, Chen Ping had the strength to take action after advancing to the Golden Core stage, thanks to the power of the Three Lights Divine Water. Otherwise, after being disturbed by the Demonic Heart, how could Chen Ping’s soul power be so strong?

After giving his instructions, Chen Ping parted ways with the women and returned to the Eastern Xuan Sect with Superior Moon Palace and Bai Jianjia.

On this day, the Eastern Xuan Sect was shaken.

Chen Ping advanced to the Golden Core stage at the age of seventy-three, with a purple aura surging for two thousand feet!
