Mortal Alchemy

Mu Luofei was shocked by Chen Ping's cultivation speed.

She had entered the tenth level of Qi Refining two years before Chen Ping.

But Chen Ping had only entered the tenth level of Qi Refining a year ago, and now he was already at the eleventh level!

She had contact with Chen Ping every month, so she knew better than anyone...

For more than ten years of cultivation, her cultivation had always been much faster than Chen Ping's, but now, Chen Ping's cultivation had caught up with her.

It should be known that whether it was talent or resources, Chen Ping was far inferior to her!

Not to mention, Chen Ping's combat power was much higher than hers...

Mu Luofei's heart rippled violently, unable to calm down.

After a long time, she calmed down and showed a smile: "This is also a good thing."

But she couldn't maintain her feigned sleep any longer, and instead sat up and looked at Chen Ping: "Junior Brother Chen..."

"Hmm?" Chen Ping had just refined a Spiritual Sense Pill: "What's wrong, Senior Sister Luofei."

Mu Luofei said kindly: "Borrowing is good, but it is also a bottomless pit..."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, did she think that he was using a lot of resources through borrowing to quickly improve his cultivation?

Chen Ping touched his nose, it was good to be misunderstood like this, and said with a wry smile:

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister, I understand."

Mu Luofei shook her head slightly and said seriously:

"Junior Brother Chen, you don't know!"

"Alas... Junior Brother Luo and the others have already stepped into the abyss, I don't want you to..."

She stopped talking halfway through.

Chen Ping's eyes moved slightly: "What happened to Junior Brother Luo and the others?"

He knew that Luo Chongzhi and the others had borrowed two hundred spirit stones last time to give gifts to Li Erniu.

In their respective positions, their monthly salary was only a few spirit stones?

Mu Luofei turned her face away and only uttered a few words: "A fate worse than death..."

Chen Ping was shocked and fell into silence.

No one can resist the temptation of Foundation Establishment and longevity.

But there were too many people who suffered a fate worse than death because of this.

Chen Ping said seriously: "Senior Sister Luofei, I understand, I will be careful about borrowing."

Mu Luofei nodded and said nothing more, and then talked about other things.

"Junior Brother Chen, in the future, what kind of spiritual object do you plan to use for Foundation Establishment?"

Chen Ping was a little surprised that Mu Luofei would take the initiative to talk to him about this topic.

Chen Ping said frankly: "If possible, I still want a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Mu Luofei gave him a white look and said quietly: "Junior Brother Chen, don't even think about the Foundation Establishment Pill."

This item was only in the hands of the four major sects.

"The cultivation techniques we practice have a 30% probability of success, and it would be a blessing if we could get a Foundation Establishment spiritual object that increases the probability by 10%."

"The five major spiritual objects for Foundation Establishment Pills are Jade Marrow Mushroom, Purple Monkey Flower, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Second-Order Demon Core, and Century-Old Spirit Milk."

"Except for the Demon Core, the four major sects each cultivate a kind of Foundation Establishment spiritual plant. Of course, the cultivation world is vast, and occasionally wild spiritual plants are discovered..."

"But it is almost impossible for cultivators like us to gather these five major spiritual objects."

"Not to mention the refining method of the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Chen Ping said seriously: "Senior Sister Luofei, I know this, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Mu Luofei said:

"Among them, Century-Old Spirit Milk can directly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%. My goal is to get a drop of Century-Old Spirit Milk."

"With a 40% probability, it's actually not low."

Mu Luofei's spiritual root was good, so a 40% probability was indeed not low.

But Chen Ping was a five-element mixed spiritual root. If he only had a 40% probability of Foundation Establishment, he would definitely fail.

He had to get the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill at all costs and refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!

The four major sects monopolized the Foundation Establishment materials in this way, so they could dominate the Eastern Region cultivation world for generations to come.

Only direct descendants of the Mu family and descendants of important figures like Li Erniu could directly obtain Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect.

While chatting, they arrived at Yunya Island.

The entire island was covered in clouds and mist, which was extremely extraordinary.

As soon as they arrived outside, Chen Ping saw a grand scene.

The lowest-ranking people receiving guests were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and from a distance, they could see Li Erniu receiving Golden Core great cultivators!

Mu Luofei also said who the bride was, a talented female cultivator from the Eastern Xuan Sect, who established her foundation at the age of eighteen, and was born with a beautiful appearance. If Li Erniu's ancestor was not a Golden Core great cultivator, he would not be able to marry such a good Dao companion.

Mu Luofei arrived here with the main force of the Mu family. The Foundation Establishment cultivators calmly arranged for them to be seated. Mu Luofei and Chen Ping were arranged at the same table.

The two gave a gift of ten spirit stones.

Chen Ping saw people from the four major sects of the Eastern Region cultivation world, mostly led by Golden Core great cultivators, congratulating and drinking.

Who wouldn't be shocked by the Li family's connections at this kind of scene?

This made Chen Ping curious, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Senior Sister Luofei, the Li family is so strong, why did Uncle Erniu come to the Mu family as a seed back then?"

Mu Luofei said: "I don't know the specifics, I only know that the Li family has a curse, and many male descendants have died, including Li Erniu, who also took a side path and took a humble name to grow up safely."

Chen Ping suddenly understood that the grandson of a Golden Core great cultivator was named Li Erniu, and there was such a reason.

After a while, the people from Jiazi Courtyard arrived, but Fang Xing and others looked bad, their expressions were embarrassed, their Taoist robes even had patches, and the collars and sleeves were not cleaned.

Chen Ping was dumbfounded. These people were also at the tenth level of Qi Refining, but they had fallen into such a state of poverty!

Is this the fate worse than death that Mu Luofei was talking about?!

What happened to them?

A few years ago, they were high-spirited and wanted to rush straight to the Foundation Establishment stage, but now they are at the tenth level of Qi Refining, but they look like this...

A few people took their seats, looking a little restrained and cautious, and greeted Mu Luofei and Chen Ping:

"Senior Sister Mu, Senior Brother Chen..."

Mu Luofei smiled gently: "It's been a while since a few junior brothers bought pills from me. Would you like senior sister to introduce you to some lucrative tasks?"

Among them, Luo Chongzhi and Lin Feixian looked excited, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Thank you, Senior Sister Mu!"

Fang Xing and Han Tongbao were okay, they smiled awkwardly and cupped their hands and said:

"If there is a need, I will definitely find Senior Sister Mu."

Chen Ping was shocked. Not to mention Yuan Qi Pills, these people must have even run out of Jing Qi Pills?

To what extent was their life tight?

Luo Chongzhi's eyes widened: "Senior Brother Chen, you are at the eleventh level of Qi Refining?!"

The remaining few people looked shocked, and then congratulated Chen Ping with bitter faces.

Luo Chongzhi said with a bitter face:

"Perhaps it's good for Senior Brother Chen to be in the Pill Hall, so you don't come into contact with borrowing. Senior Brother Chen, don't touch borrowing, or you will follow in our footsteps."

He pitted Chen Ping back then, although more than ten years have passed, he still remembers this matter, so he couldn't help but remind Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't know what to say, so he had to nod silently.

After the guests arrived, the young and beautiful maids began to serve dishes.

In the past, Chen Ping would gobble them up, but now, Luo Chongzhi and others saw the dishes on the table, their eyes lit up one by one, and they began to gobble them up.

Mu Luofei and Chen Ping chewed slowly.

After three rounds of wine, Li Erniu, as the groom, began to come to each table with the bride to toast.

Fang Xing and others were very excited. Li Erniu just glanced at them, his eyes passed Mu Luofei, and finally fell on Chen Ping:

"...Junior Brother Chen, you must treat Junior Sister Luofei well."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ping's face changed drastically.
