Mortal Alchemy

Immediately, Madam Guo's beautiful eyes showed some embarrassment:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I can't eat so many Youth Preservation Pills right now."

Chen Ping had expected this.

Ten bottles of Youth Preservation Pills would cost 40,000 spirit stones, which even Chen Ping himself couldn't afford.

He took out so many Youth Preservation Pills at once to intimidate Madam Guo, seize the initiative in the following matters, and make the Guo family work for him with peace of mind.

Chen Ping said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."

"I'll take twenty bottles of these Youth Preservation Pills and give them to Fellow Daoist Guo at a price of 4,000 spirit stones per bottle. As for how much Fellow Daoist Guo sells them for, I won't interfere."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Guo gives me the spirit stones later."

Madam Guo looked at Chen Ping in disbelief, her sense of regret growing stronger.

She took a deep breath: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you really trust me."

This was a cargo worth forty to fifty thousand spirit stones.

Chen Ping said with a smile, "The monk can run away, but the temple can't. Even if Fellow Daoist Guo disappears, I can still find Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"Besides, we can be considered friends in life and death. It's not worth it to fall out over this batch of goods; that kind of friendship is too cheap."

Madam Guo nodded slowly: "It was I who spoke lightly."

Chen Ping began to further state his needs:

"Fellow Daoist Guo, in addition to collecting medicinal herbs, I also want to acquire the spiritual plants behind these medicinal herbs, the older the better, but most of them can be between 150 and 200 years old..."

Madam Guo's face showed some difficulty: "Second-order medicinal spiritual plants are extremely expensive."

She vaguely guessed that it was related to Chen Ping's alchemy, but she didn't know what kind of pills specifically.

"These second-order medicinal spiritual plants are like a golden goose that lays golden eggs; they can be passed down from generation to generation. Not many people are willing to sell them."

Chen Ping nodded: "I know, but how expensive can they be?"

"A 150- to 200-year-old second-order medicinal spiritual plant costs at most twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones."

"The price doesn't matter, as long as someone sells them, I'll buy them."

He was determined to use alchemy in conjunction with a spiritual planter to complete self-sufficiency in cultivation pills.

Madam Guo nodded slightly: "Okay, I've remembered this matter and will take it to heart."

Chen Ping said meaningfully: "Fellow Daoist Guo, you must handle this matter well..."

"If I go far, you follow me, and the Guo family can go far..."

Madam Guo's delicate body trembled slightly: "I understand."

Her former status had completely changed. She was completely unable to be strong and proactive in front of Chen Ping.

Instead, she was like a little white rabbit in front of Chen Ping, allowing Chen Ping to take whatever he wanted.

After explaining this matter, Chen Ping took out a few more letters:

"This place is remote and isolated. There are a few letters that need to be delivered to my Senior Sister Luo Fei by Fellow Daoist Zhou."

This Floating Light Market was not a good place. If Chen Ping wanted to take down Dongyue Mountain, he needed his own people as assistance.

Otherwise, seeing the treasures in front of him but not daring to move them made Chen Ping's heart itch.

Madam Guo nodded:

"No problem. There are markets every thousand miles from here to Donghuang Immortal City, and there are also patrol envoys from the four major sects. Although it is backward and remote, there are not many bandit cultivators."

Chen Ping smiled:

"Each family has ruled here for hundreds of years. If bandit cultivators dare to emerge, they can be traced back to the family. It's not a wise move."

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping got up and left, returning to the dojo.

Madam Guo was a little conflicted: "Chen Ping is getting more and more developed. If only I could tie him down."

"It's understandable that he doesn't like my ordinary appearance, but Ying'er has a beautiful appearance. He may not have any thoughts about Ying'er."

"Although he says that he won't consider a Dao companion until he enters the Golden Core stage, he may not refuse if Ying'er condescends to be a concubine."

"Right now, Ying'er is being transferred to Donghuang Immortal City to handle affairs. I don't know if she can be more free. Let Ying'er come to this Floating Light Market to oversee things."

She was extremely disgusted with this small Floating Light Market, but Chen Ping was like a true dragon, lurking in the abyss and not yet rising, making her worthy of such an investment.

The Guo family's shop quickly opened, and Madam Guo temporarily only opened a talisman shop.

She also used the collection of talisman paper and talisman ink to start managing local connections.

In just over half a year, the Floating Light Market actually had two more shops, which had not happened in the past hundred years.

Chen Ping, the new market owner, ordered the construction of many new shops and pavilions to expand the Floating Light Market.

This made many people smell something fishy. The newly appointed Market Owner Chen was not simple and wanted to vigorously develop the market, attracting many Qi Refining families who also wanted to open shops in the market and occupy a position.

The originally deserted Floating Light Market became a little more lively.

At the end of the year, Mo Douguang came to the Floating Light Market for assessment and inspection, but he still failed.

In the first year, Chen Ping did not receive any contribution points from the Dongxuan Sect.

It would take 120 years from the year Chen Ping started receiving contribution points to exchange for the sect's Three Lights Divine Water.

Chen Ping couldn't sit still and asked the Treasure Hunting Mink to pick a few golden spirit leaves from Dongyue Mountain for him.

The full leaves contained abundant medicinal liquid.

"One leaf is two hundred years old, and one leaf is three hundred years old. I want to test the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill made from them."

Two years after Foundation Establishment, Chen Ping was finally going to refine the first second-order pill other than the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Start the furnace, light the fire.

Chen Ping began to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill according to the methods in the inheritance.

He carefully observed the changes in the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace: "The side effects of second-order medicinal herbs are great, but I have a cultivation method, so I'm not afraid..."

A day and a night later, Chen Ping's expression shook:

"Foundation Establishment Pill, it's done!"

After all, the foundation of the Qi Refining stage was strong, which made his divine sense powerful, so he succeeded in refining the second-order pill for the first time.

Chen Ping first used the two-hundred-year-old golden spirit leaves to refine the pill.

Opening the pill furnace, ten middle-to-high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills still emitted a faint white smoke. Chen Ping took out the Foundation Establishment Pills given by the sect for comparison:

"From this comparison, the efficacy of the hundred-year and two-hundred-year-old pills is at least twice as different."

"The older the medicinal herbs, the more changes will occur in the medicinal properties, rather than simply accumulating years."

"Try the effect."

Chen Ping picked up a Foundation Establishment Pill he had refined and swallowed it to refine it.

The majestic and pure medicinal power immediately spread out.

"Hiss!"

Chen Ping was shocked: "This medicinal power is really strong!"

The half-crystallized spiritual power he was condensing visibly increased.

And the spiritual power sea also had a significant increase. As Chen Ping urged his cultivation method, after the spiritual power sea was further improved, it was compressed by Chen Ping, and his combat power and cultivation level were slightly improved.

If a hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment Pill is a drop, it would take one hundred and twenty years to step into the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

And now a two-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment Pill is a strand, it would take seventy years to step into the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

After feeling the change, the intense joy just now gradually disappeared.

Taking a two-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment Pill will not give him the opportunity to step into the Golden Core stage in this life...

"Then, what about the three-hundred-year-old one?" Chen Ping's eyes were deep as he looked at the three-hundred-year-old golden spirit leaf in his hand.
