Mortal Alchemy

Nan Yun's face revealed a smug look: "Then fellow Daoist has come to the right place."

"My Haiyao Hall regularly gathers Foundation Establishment Daoists to go out to sea together to search for spiritual herbs."

"When that time comes, would fellow Daoist like to go out to sea to search for herbs together?"

Chen Ping's face showed a look of excitement: "That's exactly what I want. Professional matters should be left to professionals."

"Haoyu Sea is too big. Tang only knows how to refine pills, but doesn't know how to search for spiritual herbs."

Nan Yun giggled a few times: "It just so happens that in another month, there will be a spiritual tide, and I will be going out to sea with a few Daoists to search for herbs."

"Now that Fellow Daoist Ronghai has joined, I will call the other Daoists over to get acquainted."

Chen Ping cupped his fist and said:

"Sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Nan Yun."

Nan Yun called a few servants to send messages, and then invited Chen Ping to sit down and drink tea, with every frown and smile containing actions to tease and seduce Chen Ping.

This woman couldn't wait to stick her whole body to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping raised a cup of tea, took a sip, and then asked:

"Fellow Daoist Nan Yun, what is this spiritual tide? I don't think I've ever heard of it before."

Nan Yun said:

"This Haoyu Sea is the place connecting the Four Domains. It is divided by the endless sea, which contains spiritual storms that isolate the Four Domains and can also create areas devoid of spiritual energy."

"But how wondrous is the power of heaven and earth. Since a thousand years ago, this spiritual storm has gradually dissipated from the sea, receding a hundred miles every year."

"And within this hundred miles, a spiritual tide will emerge, giving birth to many spiritual objects."

Chen Ping looked enlightened: "I see."

No wonder the Four Great Sects of the Eastern Domain's cultivation world haven't paid attention to Haoyu Sea; it turns out it's because of this.

"Then, doesn't that mean that after a long period of time, the Four Domains will be reconnected?"

Nan Yun said: "It may take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."

Chen Ping cupped his fist: "I've learned something."

In his heart, he was thinking, could it be that the pills with ten times the condensed medicinal power are related to the spiritual tide?

Chen Ping really couldn't imagine what kind of method could concentrate the medicinal power of ordinary pills tenfold.

Could it really be borrowing the power of heaven and earth?

This idea was a bit absurd, but he would spend time figuring it out next.

After waiting for a while, a refined-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator walked in.

There was also an old woman in luxurious clothes holding a cane.

Nan Yun introduced: "Fellow Daoist Ronghai, this is Scholar Dingfeng, and this is Granny Baihua."

"Fellow Daoists, this is Fellow Daoist Ronghai, the recently popular Second-Order Pill Refiner from our Loose Cultivator Alliance."

Chen Ping smiled and cupped his fist: "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

Scholar Dingfeng and Granny Baihua's eyes lit up, and after sizing up Chen Ping, they also saluted:

"Fellow Daoist Ronghai."

Scholar Dingfeng looked at Nan Yun: "Fellow Daoist Nan Yun, are you inviting Fellow Daoist Ronghai to participate in the spiritual tide herb search in a month?"

"That's right." Nan Yun giggled: "If this trip goes smoothly, Fellow Daoist Ronghai can be asked to refine Second-Order pills."

Chen Ping smiled bitterly: "Tang has been searching for herbs at sea for several months, but has gained nothing. If this trip allows me to search for the required spiritual herbs with you fellow Daoists, Tang can help you fellow Daoists refine pills as a reward."

Everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't refuse, but warmly welcomed Chen Ping to join the team.

Chen Ping observed Scholar Dingfeng's every move and subtle expressions throughout the entire process.

He was speculating whether this person was a Second-Order Pill Refiner, or whether he only had a First-Order inheritance and not a Second-Order inheritance yet?

Let's see how this person interacts with him next, and test him out first.

Scholar Dingfeng opened his mouth and said: "Fellow Daoist Tang, what Second-Order pills do you have on hand?"

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and took out Second-Order Peiyuan Pills, Second-Order Qingshen Pills, Second-Order Qingzhang Pills, Second-Order Huiqi Pills, and Second-Order Bigu Pills.

Taking out five kinds of Second-Order pills in one breath shocked the three of them, and they gasped.

Chen Ping actually had all the Second-Order pills commonly used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, which meant that Chen Ping had a complete Second-Order Pill Refiner inheritance.

Most of these pills were given to him by Bai Jianjia. Of course, he refined the Second-Order Huiqi Pills himself.

As for the high-year Peiyuan Pills and Quti Pills, how could he let outsiders know?

Chen Ping said:

"I only have these stocks on me for the time being. If you fellow Daoists want to buy them, you can buy some."

As for Second-Order Detoxification Pills and Healing Pills, he doesn't need them at all now. His own essence blood is the best healing product.

Granny Baihua swallowed her saliva and chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Tang, how are you selling these pills?"

Chen Ping said: "Peiyuan Pills, 400 spirit stones per bottle, Qingshen Pills 500, Qingzhang Pills 600, Huiqi Pills 200, Bigu Pills 100."

He also understood the prices in the Suixing Workshop. Generally speaking, you can't buy Second-Order pills at all if you don't join the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

A Pill Refiner can win over a force.

The three of them each bought 2,000 spirit stones worth of pills from Chen Ping.

Then they drank tea and chatted, deepening their relationship.

This Nan Yun even wanted to pretend to be drunk and pull Chen Ping to her room for pleasure, not concealing her flirtatious intentions at all.

But Chen Ping politely declined.

Then the group dispersed, and Scholar Dingfeng joked: "Fellow Daoist Tang is really lucky. Fellow Daoist Nan Yun is a top-quality beauty, and there are many cultivators in the workshop pursuing her."

"But you are the only one who can make her take the initiative, Fellow Daoist Tang."

Chen Ping smiled faintly: "Tang is single-mindedly pursuing the Dao. Perhaps one day when I reach the Golden Core stage, I will enjoy the matter of dual cultivation."

Scholar Dingfeng said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Tang is truly a model for us. We must interact more in the future."

Chen Ping greeted him politely: "Definitely, definitely."

Only then did they disperse.

Chen Ping returned to the pill shop and began to live in seclusion, not refining pills, but taking pills to improve his cultivation and strength.

"These Body Tempering Pills refined with hundreds of years of medicinal materials are truly domineering..."

His physical strength was rapidly increasing.

In about five years, he would be able to enter the mid-stage of Second-Order Body Cultivation.

The premise was that resources were constant and taken daily, otherwise this time would have to be postponed.

Five days later, a child came to the pill shop to deliver a note, which Situ Ye handed over to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping opened the note and took a cold laugh:

"Let Chu Xiaoyu buy supplies in large quantities..."

"As expected, there is action."

From this, Chen Ping guessed that this Scholar Dingfeng should be taking action this time. These large amounts of supplies are enough for one person to live for several years.

"It seems that the spiritual tide herb search is a cover for him."

His unspeakable secret must be acted on alone.

And what Chen Ping was looking at was his hidden secret.

Scholar Dingfeng probably still doesn't know that his secret has long been leaked and he has been targeted.

There are still more than twenty days left, and Chen Ping must also prepare more.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for the four to go out to sea.

Nan Yun prepared a white jade flying boat and even brought some maids and servants.

Chen Ping smelled a hint of danger.
