Mortal Alchemy

Back in the Mu family.

As a collateral member, Mu Luofei naturally had a network of connections, making things convenient.

But entering the massive Eastern Xuan Sect was completely different.

Even so, being able to enter the Eastern Xuan Sect was much better than many loose cultivators who couldn't join any sect, at least offering a chance at the Golden Core stage.

Mu Luofei glared at Chen Ping, "Are you so happy to see me in a difficult situation, Junior Brother?"

Even her Mu family ancestors were nothing in the face of the massive Eastern Xuan Sect.

Golden Core stage? The Eastern Xuan Sect had hundreds of Golden Core cultivators…

Chen Ping said with a smile, "Now that Senior Sister has comprehended the weapon refinement inheritance, have you considered your career path?"

Mu Luofei frowned slightly, "I'm still considering it. It would be best to stay in the Spirit Weapon Peak for cultivation."

"The career paths in each department are also divided into different levels. Staying in the Spirit Weapon Peak and cultivating by the master's side allows for the resolution of any doubts regarding cultivation techniques and various arts."

"Below that, one would be transferred to various markets and shops, leaving the core area of the Eastern Xuan Sect and becoming a marginal figure."

"Without someone influential above, it would be difficult to obtain resources or get things done."

Chen Ping nodded, "Although I've only been in the sect for a short time, I've already noticed this."

Mu Luofei continued, "But correspondingly, the tasks at the Spirit Weapon Peak are more demanding, while working in various markets and shops is less tiring. The difference in salary and resources is also significant…"

"Although I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I'm still a collateral member in the eyes of the Mu family and not worth investing too much in. The Mu family can't help me much."

The Mu family had branched out and grown large.

It was already impressive to support a collateral Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She couldn't expect too much from the Mu family.

Chen Ping said thoughtfully, "If Senior Sister could move between the sect and the markets, some things would be easier to handle…"

Mu Luofei's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, "What do you mean by that, Junior Brother?"

Chen Ping said, "Relying on the sect and family is not as good as relying on oneself. I chose the spirit plant cultivator inheritance. After comprehending the inheritance, I plan to manage a market."

Mu Luofei stared at him, "And?"

Chen Ping must be teasing her. She hadn't forgotten that Chen Ping had a senior brother who could refine pills.

Chen Ping smiled lightly and said, "If Senior Sister can arrange this position, you might be able to continue the Mu family's affairs."

"Hmph!" Mu Luofei snorted softly, her beautiful eyes rolling at Chen Ping.

"Junior Brother, you've kept this from me so well."

Chen Ping had hinted so much; how could she not guess? There was no senior brother at all; Chen Ping himself was the one refining pills.

She bit her silver teeth lightly, "I will go to the old ancestor and ask her to arrange this!"

"Staying in the Spirit Weapon Peak is difficult, and being demoted to a market shop is easy. Being able to move between the Spirit Weapon Peak and the market shop, not too high and not too low, leaves room for maneuvering."

"When do you plan to act, Junior Brother?"

Chen Ping told the truth, "I have quite a talent for spirit plant cultivation. I should be able to act within a year."

"Senior Sister, can you help me get a second-order pill furnace?"

Mu Luofei wasn't surprised, "A second-order pill furnace costs tens of thousands of spirit stones. I'll have to ask around to see if it's possible."

If she had fully comprehended the inheritance, she could refine a second-order pill furnace herself.

But Chen Ping was looking for her because he wanted to do this secretly.

Chen Ping nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister. Please also inform Senior Sister Meng that my Foundation Establishment banquet is set for ten days later."

Mu Luofei nodded slightly:

"Okay."

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping got up to leave. Mu Luofei also had to return to the Cloud Dress Hall to work.

Chen Ping flew back to Moon Palace Peak. In front of his palace stood a strange Golden Core True Person!

Chen Ping landed and asked with cupped hands, "May I ask what brings you here, Senior Brother?"

The Golden Core True Person looked at Chen Ping indifferently, his tone unfriendly:

"You are Chen Ping?"

"Indeed," Chen Ping nodded.

"I am from the Ninth Hall of Jade Radiance Peak," the Ninth Hall True Person said coldly:

"I advise you to stay away from Junior Sister Wang. Don't take advantage of being the one who led Junior Sister into the Immortal Sect to do whatever you want and plot something."

"Otherwise, hmph! Don't say you weren't warned!"

The vast aura belonging to the Golden Core stage pressed towards Chen Ping.

Immediately, Chen Ping's face turned pale, and his body trembled.

It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing on him, making it difficult for him to breathe!

This made Chen Ping's heart surge with anger, for no reason!

What had he plotted against Wang Funi?

At this time, a stream of light rushed out of Moon Palace Peak, and Bai Jianjia's cold shout rang out:

"Yang Jiutang, bullying my junior brother, how dare you!"

Bai Jianjia quickly protected Chen Ping behind her, staring at the Ninth Hall True Person:

"Bullying my junior brother for no reason, are you provoking Moon Palace Peak?"

"If you don't give a reasonable explanation, I'll have to go to the Punishment Peak and ask the master to intervene!"

The Ninth Hall True Person's aura suddenly retracted, his face still indifferent, "I'm just running errands to convey some of the master's words to Junior Brother Chen."

"Farewell!"

Master?

Chen Ping's expression was gloomy. This was the meaning of Jade Radiance Supreme.

Where had he offended Jade Radiance Supreme?

Hearing this, Bai Jianjia's eyes changed slightly.

Bai Jianjia comforted Chen Ping, "Junior Brother, there's no need to worry. No matter how big the matter is, the master will protect you."

Chen Ping took a deep breath, "Yes, Senior Sister."

She didn't ask Chen Ping the reason.

After saying some words to encourage Chen Ping to cultivate diligently, she left.

Bai Jianjia went to the Punishment Peak to report this matter to Moon Palace Supreme.

After Moon Palace Supreme heard this, her expression was calm:

"Jade Radiance Supreme is the next peak lord on duty at the Deacon Peak. Ping'er's career path will likely be made difficult."

"I will have people monitor Jade Radiance Peak and deal with it then."

"Not causing trouble is for mediocre people. Ping'er also wants to walk the path of the sword. Let's use this opportunity to hone him."

Moon Palace Supreme made a decision and then said to Bai Jianjia:

"Ping'er's spirit weapon is ready. You should send it to him."

Then Moon Palace Supreme began to handle official business.

…

Chen Ping continued to comprehend the spirit plant cultivator inheritance.

Perhaps because he had the pill refinement inheritance and refined Ji Changsheng's soul, he comprehended the spirit plant cultivator inheritance extremely quickly.

"The spirit plant cultivator, one of the hundred arts of the immortal path, is the only means not born for killing."

Identifying spirit plants, spirit herbs, the planting environment of spirit herbs, the required spiritual veins, and so on.

The most important thing is the means of accelerating maturation.

Even if ordinary spirit plant cultivators accelerate the maturation of spirit herbs, they can't use them themselves and can only sell them to the sect or alchemists as materials.

Taking a single herb alone can have significant side effects, which are related to one's spiritual root, cultivation technique, and bone structure.

The higher the age of the spirit herb, the more this is the case. Therefore, spirit herbs must be refined into pills to neutralize the side effects.

Through some spiritual vein geographical environments, one can also vaguely infer which spirit plants will exist in this area.

"After the Foundation Establishment banquet, I should take office as soon as possible…"

Others are eager to stay in the sect and get close to the core of the sect, while Chen Ping is eager to leave the core of the sect, wanting to refine pills as soon as possible and verify his guesses.
