Mortal Alchemy

Breaking through the clouds, Chen Ping controlled the White Jade Flying Boat until it was thousands of meters above the ground before stopping.

“Phew~” Chen Ping exhaled heavily, looking at the soft, fragrant jade in his arms, “Senior Sister Luo Fei, we should be safe now.”

Mu Luo Fei stood on the deck, her eyes looking down.

She saw the giant snake demon coiled on the ground, emitting angry hisses!

Mu Luo Fei looked carefully, confirming that the giant snake demon could not fly. She pressed her fair hand to her chest, and only then dared to breathe:

“Mm.”

Discovering that Chen Ping was still holding her, their bodies pressed tightly together, Mu Luo Fei's face immediately flushed red.

Chen Ping also released her in time, his face not red and his heart not beating fast, as he said with a thick face:

“Senior Sister Luo Fei should go to the elegant room to rest for a while.”

These nearly ten days had exhausted them both.

“Hmph!” Mu Luo Fei snorted softly, her beautiful eyebrows showing the exhaustion of surviving a disaster.

In this situation, they both needed to rest well, calm their emotions, and then summarize the experience of this trip.

After Mu Luo Fei entered an elegant room, she slept well for two days, and her tense nerves slowly relaxed.

In her twenty years of cultivation, this was the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation.

The spacious elegant room was fully equipped. She took out the spiritual water originally used for drinking and put it into the jade pool, using a fire spell to heat the spiritual water. Then, she took off her clothes, shoes, and socks, and immersed herself in the pool for a good wash.

Chen Ping sat at the bow of the boat, cross-legged, swallowing pills to refine and improve his cultivation while also being vigilant about the surrounding environment.

On the ground, two days passed, and the giant snake demon had not left, constantly staring at the White Jade Flying Boat in the sky.

Chen Ping was not surprised. This quasi-second-order snake demon was already a mortal enemy with them.

Chen Ping frowned slightly, his eyes indifferent:

“Could this beast be following us to take revenge and reclaim the spiritual milk?”

This was not good news. He was not worried about the threat of this snake demon. Once they entered the scope of the East Xuan Sect, someone would kill it.

He was afraid that this beast would reveal the news of the Centennial Spiritual Milk, thus bringing trouble to Chen Ping and Mu Luo Fei.

He sneered, “Then you can try.”

Chen Ping controlled the White Jade Flying Boat to slowly rise again, while heading towards the East Barren Market.

If this beast insisted on following them, Chen Ping would send it on its way. Of course, he couldn't kill it himself, but the East Barren Market was in the midst of a demon tide, so he would use a borrowed knife to kill.

This place was only a little over a thousand miles away from the East Barren Market. At Chen Ping's White Jade Flying Boat's speed, it would take half a day to arrive.

But he was not in a hurry to move forward, but increased the height of the White Jade Flying Boat to see if he could shake off this giant snake demon.

Mu Luo Fei changed into a silk ice dress, the style was quite beautiful, and her proud figure faintly revealed a third of it.

Between her delicate body and hair, there was still a hint of undried, moist water droplets.

She walked out of the elegant room and saw that Chen Ping was not resting yet, and said:

“Junior Brother, I have rested. Next, I will take over from you in controlling the flying boat. You should also take this opportunity to rest well.”

Chen Ping said with a smile: “Then Junior Brother will not be polite.”

He was also a mortal body. Fighting with the snake demon like this was too exhausting, and he really needed to rest well.

Chen Ping went to the main room of the flying boat, which had restrictions. Taking this opportunity, he released the Gold-Furred Treasure Hunting Mink. The two of them ate large pieces of spirit beast meat here. After eating and drinking enough, Chen Ping washed up, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already a day later.

He came to the deck to find Mu Luo Fei, and the two began to summarize this journey, first of all, dividing the Centennial Spiritual Milk.

Besides the Centennial Spiritual Milk, the two did not have any other gains.

Mu Luo Fei said: “Junior Brother, let's split these two hundred-year-old spiritual milk, half for you and half for me, how about it?”

Chen Ping nodded without thinking: “That's exactly what I was thinking.”

She provided the clues to the spiritual milk, and Mu Luo Fei contributed a lot in the middle. Half of the spiritual milk for each person was very reasonable, and there were no disagreements or disputes.

Chen Ping said with a smile, cupping his hands: “Senior Sister Luo Fei has obtained two hundred-year-old spiritual milk this time, and can go back to retreat and break through to Foundation Establishment.”

Mu Luo Fei smiled gently: “Isn't Junior Brother the same?”

Chen Ping touched his nose and said: “It may not work. My aptitude and foundation can't keep up with Senior Sister. Relying solely on the hundred-year-old spiritual milk to break through to Foundation Establishment, I'm afraid there's a high probability of failure.”

Of the five major materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had already collected three.

That only left the Heavenly Spirit Fruit and the second-order demon core!

He would definitely collect these two medicinal materials and refine the Foundation Establishment Pill before breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Mu Luo Fei looked surprised: “Junior Brother, your strength is so much stronger than mine, and your aptitude and foundation are not enough?”

Chen Ping knew what was going on. He had broken through all the way, but strength and aptitude were two different things.

Chen Ping said seriously: “Senior Sister Luo Fei, combat power and foundation are two different things.”

“If I could, I would definitely want to break through to Foundation Establishment as early as possible, so that I could break through before Senior Sister and hear you call me Senior Brother Chen in the future.”

Mu Luo Fei covered her mouth and giggled: “You still remember this.”

“But Junior Brother, you are almost twenty-nine years old, and you only have one year left. Whether you succeed or not, you must try to break through to Foundation Establishment, so that you can delay the Foundation Establishment deadline by five years.”

Chen Ping nodded on the surface: “Senior Sister Luo Fei is right. After I go back, I really have to try to break through and delay the Foundation Establishment deadline.”

In a flash, twenty years of cultivation.

Then the two exchanged experiences and insights from this trip. Mu Luo Fei said: “My experience and combat power are too weak. After Foundation Establishment, I must train more and improve my offensive methods.”

Speaking of which, she had left the Mu family several times, and Chen Ping had protected her every time. Chen Ping's combat power was extraordinary.

She had never gone out to train alone, and her combat power was too weak.

As for Foundation Establishment, she was full of confidence and had a sure grasp of it.

Chen Ping also felt that after she obtained the two hundred-year-old spiritual milk, the Foundation Establishment stage could not stop her.

With Ji Changsheng's memories, Chen Ping could look at many things on the path of cultivation with a broader perspective.

Chen Ping said: “When you go out to train, you must be fully prepared. The more talismans and pills, the better.”

“Magic weapons and flying tools should also be top-notch. When you encounter danger, they can be used as trump cards, giving you more chances to survive.”

“You should also learn a good offensive method. The Four Seasons Sword Technique that Senior Sister Luo Fei gave me before is very good. After Senior Sister reaches Foundation Establishment, you can also learn the subsequent sword techniques.”

At this, Mu Luo Fei's ears were a little red and hot. She was too unprepared.

Saying that, she returned the second-order disc magic weapon to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping lent her the second-order disc magic weapon, but she didn't even use it.

Mu Luo Fei nodded slightly:

“Junior Brother is right.”

“Junior Brother, next, are we returning to the Mu family, or…?”

Chen Ping glanced at the abyss valley floor, which was as small as an ant, and said:

“This beast has been following us. We have to go to the East Barren Market for a stroll first, deal with the scourge, and prevent the news of the spiritual milk from leaking.”
