Mortal Alchemy

The supplies they had carefully and cautiously stocked up on earlier came into play at this moment.

The five of them tapped their storage pouches in an orderly fashion, holding a talisman in each of their hands.

Then, they activated the talismans and launched them towards the half-step Tier 2 tiger demon to kill it.

Chen Ping said, "Aim for its eyes! This beast's fur is tough, but its eyes are the most vulnerable."

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The group took turns throwing out talismans for a barrage, and the half-step Tier 2 tiger demon wanted to attack, but the talismans aimed at its eyes, forcing it to defend.

Seeing that Chen Ping's words were effective, their morale was boosted.

If they kept this up, they could grind this tiger demon to death!

Seemingly understanding Chen Ping and the others' plan, the tiger demon roared furiously, emitting a sonic attack that made Chen Ping and the others' faces turn pale, with blood flowing from their ears, mouths, noses, and eyes.

Their minds were dizzy, and they saw stars before their eyes.

Chen Ping's foundation was stronger than theirs, so he was in a slightly better state. He said:

"Be careful, the talismans can't stop! Once they do, if this beast gets close to us, we're all dead!"

Reminded by Chen Ping, even if they were badly injured and uncomfortable, none of them dared to pass out and hold everyone back.

The talismans in their hands continued to erupt outwards.

Seeing that the sonic attack was ineffective, the tiger demon became even more vicious and charged towards the five of them.

It endured the talisman attacks, determined to eat people and fill its stomach.

"Beast!" Chen Ping's eyes were sharp as he raised the Green Bamboo Jade Sword in his hand and unleashed a powerful Green Lotus Sword Qi.

"Chi—"

The sharp sword qi slashed out, making the tiger demon sense danger. It immediately wanted to change direction in mid-air to dodge, but it wasn't at its peak condition. Chen Ping's sword directly severed its tiger tail!

"Roar!!!" The tiger demon's body trembled, and it let out a painful roar.

"Senior Brother Chen, well done!" The fat on Han Tongbao's face trembled, and he couldn't help but praise.

Chen Ping said, "This tiger demon is already injured. Let's seize this opportunity and grind it to death!"

The talismans in their hands were activated again, blasting towards the tiger demon one after another. The tail was severed, and a large amount of demon blood spurted out, making the tiger demon's condition even worse. Fang Xing seized the opportunity to blind its eyes.

Even so, it still took another half an hour to completely grind the tiger demon to death.

Only after the tiger demon died did the restrictions in the room dissipate, allowing people to leave the room.

But there was no joy on the faces of Chen Ping and the other four.

Luo Chongzhi said, "Senior Brother Chen, what do we do next?"

"This time we killed the tiger demon, but we still have to explore the next room. Sooner or later, the resources on our bodies will be exhausted..."

"When that time comes..."

Fang Xing and the others' faces were gloomy and unsightly. If they continued to explore like this and couldn't find a safe place to teleport to the library, they would all die here sooner or later.

But they also didn't have enough strength to turn against Mu Hailong.

"Damn it!" The fat on Han Tongbao's face trembled, and his eyes were sinister:

"We've formed a grudge with Mu Hailong. If we can survive, we'll settle this debt with him sooner or later!"

Lin Feixian said, "Alright, that's all in the future. Let's listen to what Senior Brother Chen has to say. Surviving is the most important thing right now."

Chen Ping didn't say much, but his words had saved their lives several times.

Chen Ping pondered for a long time and said, "There is a way that can allow us to survive, but it's also very dangerous."

Fang Xing and the others' eyes lit up. Luo Chongzhi said:

"Senior Brother Chen, tell us quickly!"

Chen Ping said, "In each room, we reduce one member. For example, in this room, we pretend that one person has died and leave one person in this room. If Mu Hailong doesn't come in to search, we can stay here long enough."

"As long as the time is up, we can leave here and survive safely."

"But this move also has a second danger, which is that reducing the number of people will increase the risk factor in the next dangerous room."

Fang Xing and the others' hearts pounded. The method Chen Ping proposed was a good one.

This move was mainly to deceive Mu Hailong into thinking they were dead, and to safely hide in a room.

Just as Fang Xing and the others were pondering, Chen Ping opened his storage pouch and took out a pile of Tier 1 talismans, as well as a Tier 2 talisman, and said sincerely:

"This Tier 2 Fire Dragon Talisman is my trump card for saving my life. I'm taking it out to protect the last junior brother's life."

"The rest of the Tier 1 talismans will be given to you junior brothers to use up."

Everyone had their own thoughts. Chen Ping wanted to seize the time to break through to Tier 2 body cultivator, so his chances of survival would be greater.

Moreover, this half-step Tier 2 tiger demon's entire body was full of good things, which was also suitable for making medicinal baths to add a bit of demon power.

Therefore, Chen Ping simply took out a Tier 2 talisman to reassure them.

Fang Xing and the other four's eyes trembled slightly, and a hint of shame flashed in their eyes. Fang Xing took the initiative:

"Okay, let's do as Senior Brother Chen said. With Senior Brother Chen's Tier 2 talisman, the probability of us surviving will greatly increase."

They didn't expect Chen Ping to take out more good things. Even though they had worked for Chen Ping before, they had learned from Mu Luofei that Chen Ping was working for another senior brother, and his family fortune wasn't much stronger than theirs.

Otherwise, Chen Ping's cultivation wouldn't have improved so slowly.

After receiving Chen Ping's Tier 2 talisman, Fang Xing and the others prepared to leave the room.

Chen Ping cupped his hands at them and said, "I hope we can meet again outside."

This time, Fang Xing and the other four cupped their hands in return:

"Senior Brother Chen, definitely!"

Then, Fang Xing and the other four, covered in tiger demon blood, exited the room, appearing extremely embarrassed in the passage, panting heavily with ugly faces, sitting on the spot swallowing pills to recover their strength.

Not far away, Mu Hailong watched indifferently: "One person died..."

He said, "Hurry up and recover, go to the next room."

Two hours later, Fang Xing and the others rushed into the next room.

Inside the tiger demon's room, Chen Ping had already begun preparing to break through to Tier 2 body cultivator.

He first set up a Tier 1 restriction formation at the entrance of the room, and then pasted a Tier 2 talisman on the door. If anyone tried to break into the room, they would first eat a Tier 2 talisman from him.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be seriously injured if they weren't careful.

This was to deal with the Mu family's behavior of wiping things clean, squeezing every last drop, and searching the corpses' storage pouches.

After doing this, Chen Ping dug a large pit in the ground with the Green Bamboo Jade Sword and began preparing a medicinal bath.

He enlarged the Azure Phoenix Furnace and buried it in the pit, lit a fire, and threw in the Body Tempering Powder, spiritual water, Gold Spirit Liquid, tiger demon blood, and tiger demon bones, thus forming a medicinal bath pool.

Chen Ping activated the Azure Phoenix Furnace, began boiling the medicinal bath, and stimulated the medicinal power of various materials.

Chen Ping took off his clothes and sat in the medicinal bath pool. Instantly, his skin turned red, and a heart-wrenching pain surged, causing his facial features to twist.

This medicinal bath was mixed with too many things, and the medicinal power was stronger than Chen Ping expected!
