Mortal Alchemy

"If cultivators above the Qi Refining stage enter, it will trigger the killing array within the cave."

"And for confidentiality, the Mu family only sent one Foundation Establishment cultivator from the war division."

"Apart from us few cannon fodder vanguards, the rest of the war division cultivators are direct descendants of the Mu family, which shows how much the Mu family values this cave."

Chen Ping's face looked a little unpleasant: "Cannon fodder?"

Luo Chongzhi nodded: "Yes, right now this Golden Core cave hasn't been broken open yet, and no one knows what the situation is inside."

"The lives of the Immortal clan's direct descendants are precious, not something we miscellaneous workers can compare to."

"The reason why the Mu family is so generous this time, willing to share a piece of the Foundation Establishment opportunity, is entirely because they see that we are willing to risk our lives to be cannon fodder pioneers to explore the way, paving the way for those direct descendants."

Han Tongbao said: "Senior Brother Chen, don't be angry, we have to accept this matter."

"Life and death are destined, wealth is determined by heaven."

"If you want to gamble on Foundation Establishment, it's impossible not to risk your life. We few have thought it through."

"We've lived for thirty years in this life, and this is the closest we've ever been to a Foundation Establishment opportunity. If we back down now, we'll live the rest of our lives in regret."

Chen Ping sighed softly: "What the junior brothers said makes sense."

"The Foundation Establishment deadline is only extended by five years. If you want to gamble on Foundation Establishment, you have to risk your life."

The Mu family's actions were unpopular.

But even so, with a Golden Core ancestor suppressing them, no matter how unpopular or dissatisfied they were, they could only endure it.

Chen Ping continued to ask: "Do the junior brothers have more news and arrangements?"

The few looked at each other, and Luo Chongzhi said: "We secretly investigated and found that this Golden Core cave is divided into three parts: a dojo, a medicine field, and a library."

"Our group of brothers are going for the Foundation Establishment opportunity, so our goal should be the medicine field."

"As for the dojo and the library, those are places only for the family's direct descendants. We can't touch them at all."

The amount of inheritance from a Golden Core great cultivator is unimaginable. The most important thing is that the things inside can bypass the Eastern Xuan Sect. If they obtain some immortal arts and cultivation techniques, the Mu family can become stronger under the eyes of the Eastern Xuan Sect.

"As for the arrangements, we few have learned a defensive formation. We've practiced it fairly well, but after failing to break through to Foundation Establishment, our vitality was greatly damaged, so the defensive formation is of average power..."

"But now that Senior Brother Chen has joined us and practiced this formation together, we will be more confident when we enter the Golden Core cave!"

Chen Ping nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will practice this defensive formation with you junior brothers!"

These few people have been rogue cultivators for many years, and their wealth is indeed not shallow. Each of them has some opportunities.

Otherwise, it wouldn't support them to reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and they would still have the energy to plan for Foundation Establishment.

After eating and drinking enough, Chen Ping followed the others to resupply, and then each summoned their flying magical instruments and headed towards that island.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't use the White Jade Flying Boat, but used the Flying Gourd.

After landing on the island, Fang Xing said:

"Senior Brother Chen, I'll take you to meet the War Division Hall Master first and add you to our team."

Chen Ping nodded: "Okay."

The Mu family's camp had all kinds of auxiliary magical instruments that were dazzling to the eyes. Compared with these direct descendants, Chen Ping felt like a country bumpkin.

Fang Xing brought him to the War Division Hall Master: "Hall Master, this is Chen Ping..."

He introduced Chen Ping.

The War Division Hall Master had a sharp and cold aura, and was missing an eye. He looked Chen Ping up and down:

"Twelfth level of Qi Refining, and the strength of a late-stage first-level body cultivator, not bad."

"But are you the Mu family's son-in-law?"

Fang Xing said: "Hall Master, Senior Brother Chen is not yet, but he is very close to Junior Sister Mu Luofei of the Deacon Hall."

"Mu Luofei? I know this woman..." The War Division Hall Master said:

"Alright, add him to your team. After the restriction is broken, he will enter with you."

Chen Ping's face lit up: "Thank you, Hall Master!"

He was at the peak of the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, and could completely hide it from Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This was undoubtedly a huge trump card for entering the Golden Core cave next.

The three Golden Core families sent people in, but Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't enter.

Once there was a treasure grab, his own combat power would be extremely important.

Survival and treasure grabbing all depended on ability.

As for body cultivation, he deliberately released it, so it seemed that his underwear had been seen completely, and there was nothing to hide.

But in this case, it was easier for Chen Ping to fish in troubled waters.

The War Division Hall Master waved his hand: "Retreat."

Fang Xing took Chen Ping to camp nearby: "Senior Brother Chen, we usually live here. Unless it's necessary, try not to leave the camp."

"Even if you want to leave, you have to find the Hall Master to submit an application report."

Chen Ping nodded: "I understand."

These Mu family direct descendants have auxiliary magical instruments to live in, like carrying a house with them, which is more comfortable.

As for Chen Ping and the others, they just set up a camp, and at most put up a first-level small restriction to make do.

It's a pity for the house Chen Ping rented in Xingluo Fang City.

After moving into the Mu family's camp, Chen Ping and the others' days returned to calm and boring, practicing formations and taking pills to improve their cultivation.

Even if the Foundation Establishment cultivators of these three Golden Core families carried spiritual weapons, it was not easy to break the restriction formation of this Golden Core cave.

It would take at least three months.

Chen Ping seized the time and wanted to raise his cultivation to the fifteenth level of Qi Refining.

While Chen Ping was cultivating, he was also observing the surrounding Golden Core families.

He found that the Mu family was not harmonious with the other two families, and even often had frictions and conflicts.

These direct descendants even fought over trivial matters for jealousy.

It made Chen Ping dumbfounded.

Luo Chongzhi told Chen Ping: "Senior Brother Chen, the Yang family and the Pei family have always been at odds with the Mu family. The current friction is still okay."

"They won't fight until the restriction is worn out."

"Once we enter this Golden Core cave, that's when we need to be careful."

"Moreover, the cultivation techniques practiced by these direct descendants are of different grades from ours. They can even reach the thirteenth or fourteenth level of Qi Refining. Not only is their probability of Foundation Establishment higher than ours, but their combat power is even more terrifying, not comparable to ordinary cultivators."

Chen Ping pretended to be surprised and nodded.

He was really surprised in his heart that someone else had the cultivation of the fourteenth level of Qi Refining. That combat power should not be underestimated.

Because Chen Ping himself was very clear about the combat power of the fourteenth level of Qi Refining.

The twelfth level of Qi Refining was completely no match for the fourteenth level of Qi Refining.

As time went on, the friction between the families became greater and greater, and the restriction of the Golden Core cave was also being worn away smoothly.

Chen Ping was finally ready to break through to the fifteenth level of Qi Refining at this time!
