Mortal Alchemy

Pain!

So much pain!

An indescribable pain!

The medicinal power permeated Chen Ping's skin, flesh, muscles, and bones, which in itself brought intense pain.

The pain assaulted Chen Ping's mind, contorting his features, but he needed to use this moment to break through to the second level of body refinement!

He began circulating the body refinement technique, allowing his physical body to absorb the medicinal power within the medicinal pool!

In an instant, the heart-wrenching pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh, muscles, and bones, made him wish he were dead, wanting to smash his head against the ground.

But even amidst such pain, Chen Ping held onto the last shred of clarity in his mind.

This was merely a living hell; his path to immortality was not yet severed!

But when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators like Mu Hailong, his fate would truly be out of his hands, his life controlled by the whims of others.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

Chen Ping's body began to turn red, like a cooked shrimp, and white smoke continuously rose from his body. The extremely high temperature of his body rapidly absorbed and evaporated the medicinal bath.

After the most intense pain, the pain gradually receded like the tide, replaced by warmth, itching, and the joy of rebirth.

At the same time, vast demonic power was also冲刷ing the bottleneck of the second-level body refinement and reshaping Chen Ping's physical muscles and bones.

This was something Chen Ping had expected. Second-level body refinement required a complete transformation, possessing the effect of marrow cleansing and bone restructuring, developing his potential, enhancing his physical strength, and increasing Chen Ping's lifespan!

This feeling made Chen Ping very uncomfortable. His bone marrow and flesh were being obliterated and constantly reborn, and his muscles were being tempered to a stronger state!

Old blood, dirty blood, and waste blood were continuously being forcibly discharged from his body.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, but Chen Ping's breakthrough to the second level of body refinement was not yet complete.

But the medicinal bath was almost exhausted, and Chen Ping was still a long way from reaching the second level of body refinement.

Just as he was about to face the crisis of breakthrough failure, Chen Ping unhesitatingly took out a Celestial Spirit Fruit from his storage bag.

He opened his mouth and quickly swallowed it, refining the medicinal power contained within.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, even more vast medicinal power surged up, causing Chen Ping's pale face to turn an abnormal crimson.

"Ah!!!" Chen Ping let out an almost inhuman roar.

It was too painful. The medicinal power of the Celestial Spirit Fruit was seeping into his bones, strengthening them, but the pain was as if every bone in his body was being broken and then rejoined, so that his body would become stronger.

After the bone marrow and bones were strengthened, it was the muscles, blood, and skin membranes.

A large amount of water vapor poured out of Chen Ping's body, and the entire room instantly became extremely viscous. Looking at it, a layer of dead skin appeared on the surface of Chen Ping's skin, like a silkworm transforming into a butterfly!

Chen Ping felt that his physical body was stronger than ever before, even able to withstand the liquid spiritual power attacks of Foundation Establishment cultivators with his physical body.

His spiritual power and spiritual sense were further enhanced after his physical body entered the second level, and the limit was stretched further.

Before entering Foundation Establishment, he first became a second-level body refiner!

Chen Ping closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes brought about by the second-level body refinement:

"The body is like gold and stone, indestructible by ordinary methods."

"The blood is as clear as cinnabar and as strong as lead and mercury, and the physical strength is increased, capable of five thousand pounds of force!"

"The path of body refinement, to break all laws with one force?"

"But even so, the second-level body refinement still cannot fly, and the combat power is still much weaker than that of Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Therefore, this body refinement is not very popular. The investment and consumption are large, but the combat power is far inferior to that of immortal cultivation Foundation Establishment, and the lifespan increase is also very small."

"Originally, my lifespan should have been ninety years, but now, it has increased to one hundred and twenty years, only thirty years more?!"

Immortal cultivation Foundation Establishment can directly live to two hundred years.

So from this comparison, this path of body refinement is completely inferior to immortal cultivation Qi Refining.

However, Chen Ping is practicing body refinement to make up for his own shortcomings.

His main cultivation is still immortal cultivation Qi Refining.

Moreover, although he now has the cultivation of a second-level body refiner, he does not have the combat power of a second-level body refiner.

Because he does not know the combat techniques, moves, and weapons of the second-level body refiner.

It can only be said that this second-level body refinement combined with the cultivation of the fifteenth level of Qi Refining can be used to save his life in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Thinking of this, Chen Ping was a little moved:

"Should I go find the second-level bird in the medicine garden to compete with and test it out to see if I can kill it and get a second-level demon core..."

He wanted to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, but only one second-level demon core was definitely not enough.

Just exchanging for the refining method of the Foundation Establishment Pill would consume a round of Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

Moreover, if he couldn't beat the second-level bird, Chen Ping could also use the medicine garden restriction to run away and save his life.

Just as he was thinking about this, a strong sense of hunger surged into his heart:

"Hungry..."

"So hungry!"

"But didn't I just swallow a Spirit Pill not long ago?"

Chen Ping reacted. Now that he had a second-level body, the first-level Spirit Pill was almost useless.

He quickly opened his storage bag and hurriedly swallowed spirit beast meat to replenish the consumption of his physical body.

He tore off the layer of dead skin on the surface of his body and devoured it ravenously.

The Gold-seeking Mink in the corner saw this scene, waving its claws and protesting to Chen Ping:

"Ying ying ying!"

The half-step second-level tiger demon was taken by Chen Ping to be the base of the medicinal bath, and it didn't get a bite. Now Chen Ping wants to eat spirit beast meat alone without sharing it with it?

It's too much!

Chen Ping said to the Gold-seeking Mink while devouring it, "Brother Mink, please bear with it. I will give you something good to eat later!"

Chen Ping kept eating, and his physical body was like a bottomless pit. Chen Ping ate at least a thousand pounds of spirit beast meat in this meal, but he didn't feel very full, but only a little full.

"嗝~" Chen Ping burped lightly, and his expression became relaxed and comfortable.

Then he began to summarize this breakthrough.

The spiritual objects he prepared were not sufficient after all. If he hadn't refined a Celestial Spirit Fruit at the end to carry out the final transformation of his physical body, his breakthrough would have failed this time.

Even with the Celestial Spirit Fruit to make up for it, the potential of his physical body was greatly consumed, and he ate a thousand pounds of spirit beast meat to barely stabilize his physical body.

"Now that I have the second-level body refinement and the cultivation of the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, I don't have to bow down to Foundation Establishment cultivators like Mu Hailong here."

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. If Mu Hailong found out that he was still alive and forced them to do such a death-seeking thing, then don't blame Chen Ping for turning his face and being ruthless!

However, in this Golden Core cave, Chen Ping certainly could no longer show his true face.

He cleared the tracking methods left by Mu Hailong on his clothes, activated the Turtle Breath Technique, and used a Thousand Faces Talisman to quickly change into Tang Sheng's appearance.

He cleaned up the traces of the breakthrough in the room with a Fireball Technique, and then put away the second-level talismans and restriction formations.

If he wants to fish in troubled waters in this Golden Core cave with someone else's identity, he certainly can't stay in this room.

He carefully opened the door and peeked outside, only to see that Mu Hailong had already led his men to explore the deeper parts of the passage.

He was currently facing away from Chen Ping.

How fast was Chen Ping's second-level body refinement speed?

In just an instant, he drilled into another room.

After all, Mu Hailong was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He turned around and glanced, his eyes cold and ruthless, and frowned, seemingly vaguely aware of something.

But he did not take any action.
