Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping walked into the Lord's Dojo.

He released his aura, notifying Zuo Yinghong.

"Lord?" Zuo Yinghong was somewhat surprised. "You're back after only six years?"

Chen Ping said, "I've accumulated enough merit points. It's time to return for secluded cultivation."

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, how has the market been these past few years?"

Zuo Yinghong said, "In recent years, more families have settled near the market, but the tax revenue hasn't increased significantly."

Chen Ping nodded.

Eight years ago, Chen Ping had planned to have Luo Chongzhi, Fang Xing, and others purchase goods from the Shattered Star Market and resell them in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, demonic cultivators caused chaos, disrupting the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City and thwarting Chen Ping's plan.

Otherwise, the Floating Light Market would have developed rapidly in these past few years.

Chen Ping said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Zuo."

"This is Fellow Daoist's reward."

He took out twenty bottles of two-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment Pills and gave them to Zuo Yinghong.

Zuo Yinghong smilingly accepted them. "Thank you, Lord."

"Lord, you've changed quite a bit after this trip."

In her eyes, Chen Ping had undergone a tremendous transformation.

His sharp swordsman aura made her feel apprehensive.

Chen Ping chuckled. "I'm alright. Next, I'll continue my secluded cultivation. I'll have to entrust many matters in the market to Fellow Daoist Zuo."

"By the way, many people will be coming to our market to buy and exchange resources. Please have people build more houses."

The current Floating Light Market is too small, with only two or three streets.

In addition to attracting people from the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City to purchase resources, Chen Ping had another idea: to bring resources from the Shattered Star Market to attract more people to settle in the Floating Light Market.

Only with increased transaction volume will the population grow.

It was a pity that Meng Huang'er had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage and could not become a second-order alchemist.

Otherwise, placing Meng Huang'er outside would attract enough people.

"Yes, Lord," Zuo Yinghong nodded.

Afterward, Chen Ping left the dojo and returned to his spiritual vein dojo.

He didn't immediately go to the Heavenly Venerate Sect. The immediate priority was to visit the Shattered Star Market, spend the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on cultivating resources, and improve his strength.

Chen Ping had someone notify Fang Xing, Luo Chongzhi, and the others. If they were in the market, he wanted them to come so he could understand their progress.

However, it was already late at night.

He would wait until tomorrow.

Chen Ping soaked in the medicinal bath, closed his eyes, sorted out his thoughts, and pondered what he should do next.

Suddenly,

Chen Ping sensed a change.

He slightly opened his eyes. There was mist in front of him, and a beautiful figure was walking towards him.

Beside him, the Treasure Seeking Mink showed no abnormality.

The visitor could only be someone familiar to Chen Ping.

He didn't use his divine sense to investigate.

As the figure approached, Chen Ping revealed a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Senior Sister Meng, why are you here..."

Meng Huang'er stood by the pool, taking off her clothes. Her fair and plump body was only wearing a pink bodice.

The mist steamed, obscuring her face, but Chen Ping could still see the amorous look in her eyes.

Her round legs entered the pool, and Meng Huang'er said shyly, "Junior Brother, I'm here to serve you in your bath ~"

"Haha." Chen Ping laughed. Did a Foundation Establishment cultivator need someone to serve him in his bath?

That was truly laughable.

He beckoned with his finger, and his magic power pulled Meng Huang'er's delicate body over, and she did not resist, but instead obeyed.

She fell into Chen Ping's arms.

Chen Ping grabbed her smooth chin.

"Senior Sister Meng, have you finally decided to be my concubine?"

"Mm ~" Meng Huang'er responded softly, somewhat shyly. "Senior Sister Mu mentioned this to me a long time ago."

"I haven't been ready, but you haven't taken the initiative."

"I only made up my mind today."

"Will Junior Brother dislike me?"

Chen Ping put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Meng was the one who brought me into the world of cultivation back then, how could I dislike you?"

Meng Huang'er's eyes were full of love, and she gently hugged Chen Ping's neck, her expression charming and coquettish.

"Then I will be Junior Brother's concubine from now on, and serve Junior Brother wholeheartedly, okay?"

Her address for Chen Ping changed all of a sudden.

Chen Ping said with a smile, "Okay, Zuo Yinghong will leave sooner or later. In the future, you will be in charge of the Floating Light Market."

As he spoke, Chen Ping's big hand became restless.

Meng Huang'er's face was flushed, and her breathing became rapid. Just as she was about to fall, she stopped Chen Ping at the critical moment.

"Junior... Junior Brother, not... not yet..."

"Eh?" Chen Ping asked in confusion, "Why? Didn't Senior Sister decide to dedicate herself tonight?"

Meng Huang'er blushed, her eyes blurred, but she patiently explained to Chen Ping, "It's related to my spiritual body."

Chen Ping was curious and became interested. "What kind of spiritual body does Senior Sister have?"

Meng Huang'er blushed and stammered, "Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body."

Chen Ping quickly searched his memory for information about the Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body, his expression shaken.

"Is that the legendary husband-supporting spiritual body?"

The Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body contains pure yang and pure yin energy, making it a supreme cultivation furnace.

It can increase the probability of advancement to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.

That pure yang and pure yin energy is innate energy and is very precious.

If it is used to advance to the Golden Core stage, the value is not great.

The key is that the Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body can help advance to the Nascent Soul stage, which makes it extremely valuable.

The infighting in the Eastern Xuan Sect is serious because there are not enough resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. The Golden Core cultivators fight fiercely, all wanting to seize more resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Meng Huang'er's delicate expression was somewhat proud and smug. "If Junior Brother wants my body, you can wait until the day you advance to the Golden Core stage."

Chen Ping laughed loudly and hugged her tightly. "Senior Sister is truly husband-supporting, bringing me so many surprises."

If Chen Ping had not had Meng Huang'er when he was young, he would not have been able to enter the world of cultivation, let alone today.

Now that she is a Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body, she can help Chen Ping advance to the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Isn't that called husband-supporting?

Meng Huang'er is simply the greatest gift God has given him.

Meng Huang'er was full of shyness. "It's good if I can help Junior Brother."

In this way, Chen Ping also had to find a way to collect the materials for the Yan Dao Pill to see if he could use this pill to help Meng Huang'er enter the Foundation Establishment stage and become a second-order alchemist.

Chen Ping looked at her with a wicked smile. "But in this way, how will Senior Sister relieve my fire?"

Meng Huang'er whispered, "Junior... Junior Brother, I can use other methods to relieve your fire..."

She whispered a few words in Chen Ping's ear.

Chen Ping's expression was surprised, and then he pounced on her.

...

Early the next morning,

Chen Ping was refreshed, but Meng Huang'er was sore all over, looking tired as she helped Chen Ping dress.

It was time to meet Luo Chongzhi and the others.
