Mortal Alchemy

After an hour, Yuehua returned to report:

"Master, there is indeed a Jingyang Purple Stone in that mine, but the Purple Monkey Flower inside has been taken away."

Her words confirmed that Chen Ping hadn't lied to Mu Xingling.

Mu Xingling couldn't sit still any longer, and her calm little face changed:

"Good!"

"Chen Ping, tomorrow you will enter the mountain range again. If you discover a Jingyang Purple Stone, immediately have Yuehua return to inform me."

If it concerned a Foundation Establishment spiritual object and she was confident in obtaining it, she would personally take action.

"Yes, Palace Master!" Chen Ping stared straight at her, his tone fervent: "I will not let the Palace Master down!"

A faint blush flashed across Mu Xingling's icy face.

She had promised Chen Ping a night of pleasure two months ago.

The charming slave she had tamed by sacrificing her purity had finally yielded results.

Mu Xingling's tone softened slightly, saying, "Retreat and rest."

Chen Ping got up and left, heading to the inn to rest.

Inside the room.

Fang Xing, Han Tongbao, Lin Feixian, and Luo Chongzhi were all there.

As soon as Chen Ping entered, they stood up and bowed, "Senior Brother Chen!"

Calculating the time, it took them half a month to travel from the Mu family to this place eight thousand miles away, and it would take another half a month to return.

Now, after working here for two months, their storage bags were almost full. Before returning to the Mu family to process the Bloodhorn Red Bull resources, they wanted to give the demon bone blood to Chen Ping.

"Senior Brother Chen, here are materials for a total of four hundred pairs of demon bone blood."

Chen Ping took the storage bag and took out another two hundred spirit stones.

Fang Xing and the others shook their heads, refusing:

"Senior Brother Chen, you gave us two hundred spirit stones last time, which solved our urgent needs. Now our storage bags are full of materials, so you don't need to give us a deposit."

They were now at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Leaving their original departments to take on jobs at the Deacon Hall to earn money, they only earned about ten spirit stones a month. Now, working for Chen Ping, each of them received more than fifty spirit stones in two months.

Having grown up together, experienced the coldness of human relationships and the lows of life, they understood the value of Chen Ping's help even more.

They also knew how to repay kindness.

Chen Ping said, "Don't return to the Mu family this month. Help me with another matter here."

"One of my storage bags was taken away by a demon beast in the mountain range. I plan to buy some meat ingredients from you to lure the demon beast and drive these beasts out of the mountain range."

"You will guard the area and kill these beasts, helping me find the storage bag."

"This money is not only for buying materials but also for asking you, junior brothers, for help, what do you think?"

They couldn't guess Chen Ping's true intentions, only assuming that Chen Ping had encountered this trouble and was asking them for help.

The four of them exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, Senior Brother Chen, we'll help with this."

Immediately, Chen Ping pointed out a location for them.

To save money, they didn't dare to stay in the inn and rest, but instead left directly to guard the place designated by Chen Ping overnight.

Once upon a time, Chen Ping wouldn't eat or drink for three days and three nights to avoid wasting the medicinal power of a single Essence Qi Pill. Now, to save money, they were unwilling to stay in an inn, preferring to sleep in the open.

The next morning.

Chen Ping came to the mountain range and entered the mountain with the others.

However, this time, as soon as Chen Ping entered the mountain, he tore a Swift Steps Talisman, quickly shaking off the others, hiding his figure, but deliberately exposing some flaws.

Zhang Ergou, who had been spying on Chen Ping for a month, followed Chen Ping's flaws and quietly chased after Chen Ping.

Chen Ping walked into a mine, holding a torch in his hand, releasing smoke.

Thus, Chen Ping found another hidden mine. Chen Ping used a Golden Light Art to shatter the rubble on the stone wall.

The Jingyang Purple Stone emitted a faint light.

Even the ghost servant Yuehua, who was well-informed by Mu Xingling's side, exclaimed on the spot:

"Jingyang Purple Stone! Chen Ping, you actually found the Purple Monkey Flower!"

"What? Jingyang Purple Stone, Purple Monkey Flower?!"

Zhang Ergou, who was concealing his figure behind, felt a tightness in his heart and couldn't help but rush up, shouting loudly:

"Hand over the Purple Monkey Flower, and I'll spare you!"

As he spoke, he had already gathered mana in his hand, waiting for a moment to strike.

However, he didn't see that Chen Ping had already pinched a talisman in his hand.

Chen Ping immediately activated the talisman, and a surge of majestic mana surged out from the talisman, transforming into a drop of water light, attacking Zhang Ergou.

"No!!!"

Zhang Ergou felt the majestic mana belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his pupils instantly filled with extreme terror, his face full of despair.

With a loud bang, Zhang Ergou's body was crushed into a pile of rotten flesh by this drop of heavy water.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Ping's eyes: "You asked for it, don't blame me."

Immediately, he looked at Yuehua: "Miss Yuehua, I have found the Jingyang Purple Stone, please ask the Palace Master to come here immediately!"

"Good, good, good!" Yuehua was also extremely excited, with a hint of admiration in her pale eyes:

"Chen Ping, wait here, I will immediately let the Palace Master come and take the Purple Monkey Flower!"

Her figure quickly left.

Chen Ping took a few breaths, steadied his mind, and his eyes were cold and firm:

"Next, is the most important part of the plan."

Chen Ping quickly left the mine, took out the Bloodhorn Red Bull meat from the storage bag, and deliberately went to attract the nearby demon beasts.

Then, a spider demon that had been prepared was released from a mine and stuffed with a storage bag containing all his belongings.

Before long, dozens of demon beasts nearby ran wildly in the direction of Chen Ping's meat, and the spider demon containing the storage bag was also mixed in.

These dozens of demon beasts ran wildly towards the outside of the Dafeng Mountain Range.

Humans die for wealth, and demons die for food!

After doing all this, Chen Ping returned to the mine with the Jingyang Purple Stone and waited.

Time passed little by little.

"Master, it's in front, the Jingyang Purple Stone discovered by Chen Ping is here."

Yuehua's sinister voice sounded in the mine.

Chen Ping also quickly saw Mu Xingling's fiery and alluring figure: "Greetings, Palace Master!"

Seeing the intact Jingyang Purple Stone on the stone wall, Mu Xingling couldn't keep her composure, and immediately gave the order:

"Yuehua, pry open the Jingyang Purple Stone."

"Yes, Master!"

Yuehua raised her two ghostly hands and used her mana to erode the Jingyang Purple Stone.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Jingyang Purple Stone made a sound of being eroded and burned, turning into little by little of dross and falling down.

Chen Ping did not relax his vigilance, but began to feel nervous.

Now, Mu Xingling has taken the bait, it depends on whether the person behind Zhang Ergou is strong enough.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Purple Monkey Flower was already vaguely visible.

Mu Xingling's beautiful eyes were already bright, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her red lips moved slightly:

"The Purple Monkey Flower can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by half a percent, mainly improving spiritual sense and divine sense. For me, it can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by one percent."

At this moment, the voices of other immortal cultivation family disciples sounded in the mine:

"Hahahaha! Xingling, why didn't you notify us when you discovered such a good thing as the Purple Monkey Flower?"

Mu Xingling's face changed drastically.
