Mortal Alchemy

Mu Luofei, lacking experience, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ping's gaze turned to the water's surface:

"Those snake demons aren't following us anymore."

Mu Luofei's delicate brows also furrowed slightly as she reacted, "Are you saying that the area ahead isn't the territory of those snake demons?"

"Could there be even more powerful demonic beasts ahead than the snake demons?"

"Or are the snake demons detouring to ambush us ahead?"

Chen Ping nodded, "Senior Sister is indeed intelligent; it's just as I thought."

"Regardless of which speculation is correct, the danger ahead is likely even greater."

Mu Luofei said, "The water-attributed spiritual energy here is very abundant, and the ground has dense wood-attributed spiritual energy. This place is very likely to give birth to century-old spiritual milk."

"Even if it's dangerous, Senior Brother, shouldn't we venture in?"

Chen Ping nodded, "Senior Sister, you're right. Next, as we proceed, you need to activate your defensive magical artifact and be ready to activate the second-tier magical artifact at any time."

"I know," Mu Luofei nodded slightly.

"If we discover the century-old spiritual milk, we will exhaust our trump cards to obtain it as quickly as possible, then use that second-tier Earth Movement Talisman to leave this place as quickly as possible."

Chen Ping held the second-tier Ice Arrow Talisman in one hand and the Green Bamboo Jade Sword in the other, mobilizing the Azure Lotus Sword Essence within his body, ready to erupt and operate at any moment.

Then, he controlled the White Jade Flying Boat with his spiritual sense, heading deeper.

The deeper they went into the dark cave, the richer the water-attributed spiritual energy became, almost turning into mist that obscured vision.

However, above them were still stalactites, but these stalactites were coiled with snake demons, opening their bloody mouths and silently spitting out snake tongues at the two.

Their snake pupils humanly revealed a greedy look.

After carefully passing through a narrow passage, the view in front of them suddenly opened up again.

It was no longer an underground river, but a pool of water of unknown size, with a small island above it. Although sunlight didn't reach this place, a large tree grew, its branches and leaves luxuriant.

This was very abnormal.

Chen Ping felt increasingly uneasy. He became more vigilant. This place didn't have those small poisonous snakes or snake demons.

And in the center, a huge stalactite hung upside down.

At the tip of the stalactite, an extremely rich spiritual milk exuded a mouthwatering aura.

"Century-old spiritual milk!" Mu Luofei was overjoyed. In her excitement, she grabbed Chen Ping's arm and pointed at the stalactite:

"Senior Brother, did you see that? That's century-old spiritual milk!"

Chen Ping was also stunned, "It really is century-old spiritual milk, and there's quite a lot of it!"

Mu Luofei said excitedly:

"Senior Brother, quickly move the flying boat over there. Let's go get the century-old spiritual milk."

A sense of greed welled up from the bottom of Chen Ping's heart, wanting to take all the century-old spiritual milk here!

With the century-old spiritual milk here, he didn't know how many Foundation Establishment Pills he could refine.

An abnormal flush appeared on Mu Luofei's fair face:

"With so much century-old spiritual milk, I can go back into seclusion and strive to reach Foundation Establishment!"

Her beautiful eyes gradually became lost, her expression intoxicated, fantasizing about the wonderful things after Foundation Establishment.

And Chen Ping slowly steered the White Jade Flying Boat towards the huge stalactite.

"Pain!"

"It hurts so much!"

At this critical moment, the small bead hanging on Chen Ping's neck suddenly turned red and became scorching hot, directly causing Chen Ping to regain his senses from the pain.

Taking another look, it wasn't a huge stalactite at all.

It was clearly a huge snake demon coiling around the stalactite, opening its bloody mouth, its fangs dripping with venom, making people mistake it for century-old spiritual milk.

The huge snake pupils were playfully staring at the two.

"Not good!"

Chen Ping's expression changed drastically. He felt terrified, and his hands and feet turned cold, quickly steering the White Jade Flying Boat back.

"This snake demon actually awakened its talent. Is it the type that bewitches people's minds?"

Meanwhile, Mu Luofei's face became even more flushed, and her delicate body became hot. She shook Chen Ping's arm in confusion:

"Senior Brother, what are you doing? Why are you retreating? Don't you want the century-old spiritual milk?"

"Damn it!" Chen Ping's expression was extremely gloomy:

"Senior Sister Luofei hasn't awakened from the bewitchment yet."

Seeing Chen Ping wake up, the huge snake demon's huge snake pupils flashed a hint of doubt, then revealed a cold killing intent, looking at Chen Ping as if looking at a delicious prey.

The huge snake body smoothly left the stalactite and disappeared into the darkness, seemingly looking for an opportunity to attack Chen Ping.

"Not good!" Chen Ping immediately understood what the snake demon wanted to do.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Luofei!" Chen Ping directly knocked Mu Luofei unconscious, taking the second-tier magical artifact into his hand.

"Hiss!!!"

A chilling, scalp-numbing snake hiss sounded from directly above Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked up and saw the huge snake demon opening its bloody mouth and falling straight down from above, biting towards Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's expression changed drastically again. Holding the Green Bamboo Jade Sword, he loudly shouted:

"Azure Lotus Sword Essence!!!"

"Go!!!!"

Vast azure spiritual power suddenly erupted, pouring into the Green Bamboo Jade Sword, and then an extremely majestic Azure Lotus Sword Qi instantly erupted!

"Boom!!!"

This second-tier sword Qi instantly hit the huge snake demon.

Hundreds of thousands of sword marks instantly appeared on the snake demon's body, demonic blood spurting out like a fountain, and the huge snake demon let out a shrill scream:

"Hiss hiss!!!"

Then, the huge snake body fell into the pool.

It seemed to disappear, seemingly swimming quickly, looking for an opportunity to continue attacking Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's face turned pale, and he gasped heavily, quickly pouring dozens of Qi Recovery Pills into his mouth, quickly recovering his spiritual power.

Chen Ping was extremely tense, cold sweat dripping from his forehead:

"My second-tier sword essence just now didn't kill this huge snake demon. Is it a half-step second-tier or a second-tier demonic beast?"

Chen Ping's confident Azure Lotus Sword Essence was used for the first time and didn't achieve great success, only injuring the huge snake demon.

This made Chen Ping's heart sink to the bottom!

Chen Ping looked back and saw that the narrow passage was already densely covered with various small snake demons, forming a dense snake wall.

Even if injured, they wanted to capture Chen Ping and Mu Luofei!

Chen Ping's expression was extremely gloomy: "Courting death!"

Chen Ping heavily patted his storage bag, taking out all the first-tier high-quality talismans he had purchased.

Using spiritual power to control them, he stuck these dozens or hundreds of talismans onto the stalactites above.

If the snake demon wanted to repeat its old tricks, Chen Ping would make it suffer, blasting it to death.

Then, he tightly gripped the second-tier Ice Arrow Talisman in his hand!

If Chen Ping's Azure Lotus Sword Essence wasn't a genuine second-tier sword Qi, then this second-tier talisman was the real deal!

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!"

Just as Chen Ping was preparing to grip this second-tier talisman and search for the huge snake demon's figure to attack.

Dense snake hisses rang out throughout the cave, immediately causing Chen Ping's eyes to turn blood red, his head to spin, and his mood to become extremely irritable:

"Not good, this is the Myriad Snake Formation, it will cause people to lose consciousness!"

The snake hisses were extremely rhythmic and contained demonic power.

Chen Ping's eyes hardened, and he immediately deafened his own ears with one hand.

Blood flowed from his ears, and Chen Ping's eyes became even more indifferent and firm.
