Mortal Alchemy

This day.

Chen Ping, Mu Luofei, Meng Huang'er, and Zhou Ying sat around a table.

Chen Ping raised his glass, smiling, and said, "First, congratulations to Junior Sister Zhou on reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."

"Second, congratulations to Senior Sister Meng on reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining."

Meng Huang'er had enough pills, and with the awakening of her Phoenix Ice Spiritual Body, her cultivation progressed quickly. The bottleneck of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, which had plagued her for decades, was finally no longer a problem.

Next, she only needed to spend a year or two cultivating to the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining before attempting Foundation Establishment.

And Chen Ping's Yan Dao Pill was almost successfully refined.

The group raised their glasses, drinking spiritual wine.

This was the first time the four of them had gathered together since the demonic cultivator turmoil.

Zhou Ying didn't use her mana to dispel the alcohol's effects. Her voluptuous and alluring body was flushed with a faint blush, seemingly a little drunk. She stood up and gave a graceful bow:

"Junior Sister must thank Senior Brother for refining the Barrier Breaking Pill, otherwise, breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment would have been delayed for another three to five years."

As for Fang Xing and Luo Chongzhi, they were cultivating while running around, so they would have to wait a few more years to reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Ping said with a smile, "Junior Sister Zhou can be considered half family. It wouldn't be worth it to use the hard-earned contribution points to exchange for a Barrier Breaking Pill."

Meng Huang'er stood between Chen Ping and Mu Luofei, acting as a wine-pouring servant.

Zhou Ying said, "Senior Brother Chen, now that Fuguang Square Market is handling a massive amount of resources every day, many families have migrated from within a thousand miles. If Senior Brother Chen wants to be promoted to Immortal City, relying on my identity as a Tier 2 Talisman Master and Senior Sister Mu's identity as a Tier 2 Refiner, and also Left Fellow Daoist's identity as a Tier 2 Beast Tamer..."

"Perhaps, we can try to invite Myriad Treasures Pavilion to open a branch in Fuguang Square Market, which would allow Fuguang Square Market to take a step further."

Myriad Treasures Pavilion was a behemoth that would only open branches in extremely prosperous places.

Being able to invite Myriad Treasures Pavilion to open a branch in Fuguang Square Market was certainly a good thing, but it could also reveal the secrets of Star Fragment Square Market.

It wouldn't be worth the loss.

Chen Ping knew that Zhou Ying was thinking about the extra 10% profit.

Currently, allowing people from the Eastern Wasteland Immortal City to come to Fuguang Square Market was at 80% of the market price. If Myriad Treasures Pavilion came, they could sell to Myriad Treasures Pavilion at 90% of the market price, and that 10% profit was a considerable income.

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and politely declined Zhou Ying's suggestion:

"Let's wait a little longer. Now is not a good time."

The best time would be after Meng Huang'er advanced to Foundation Establishment and Chen Ping advanced to the Golden Core stage, and then invite Myriad Treasures Pavilion to Fuguang Square Market, which would be the icing on the cake and accelerate the construction of the Immortal City.

Zhou Ying was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it: "Junior Sister will listen to Senior Brother."

In front of these people, Chen Ping had absolute say.

Mu Luofei, now a Tier 2 Refiner, wore a dress and accessories that were not simple.

The Tier 2 Sky Survey Armor that Chen Ping gave her had been modified into a women's lining.

Now that the turmoil had subsided, Madam Guo had taken her family to Eastern Wasteland Immortal City again.

After the meal, the group dispersed.

Zhou Ying went back to cultivate, and Meng Huang'er also intensified her cultivation, even giving up the time to refine Beauty Preservation Pills to make money.

Under the moonlight.

Chen Ping and Mu Luofei sat side by side, close enough to hear each other's heartbeats.

In recent years, Mu Luofei had been busy comprehending the Tier 2 Refiner inheritance and refining equipment to make money, so her cultivation had fallen behind and she had not yet reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

But now that the situation had stabilized, she would soon break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

She also felt the pressure, after all, it had been twenty years since she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Mu Luofei said, "Junior Brother, the last time we sat like this was many years ago, do you remember?"

Chen Ping said with a smile, "I remember, that was when Senior Sister had just become Foundation Establishment and joined the Eastern Xuan Sect."

Mu Luofei gently pulled on Chen Ping's sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, pitiful and delicate, her voice a little choked and fragile:

"At that time, I still had parents, the Mu family was still there, and I only wanted to move forward."

"Now, I only have Junior Brother left."

The Mu family was wiped out overnight, with thousands of clansmen killed.

Including direct descendants, collateral lines, many servants, and Immortal seeds.

It was because she had shown her face in front of Bai Jianjia before and was remembered by Bai Jianjia that Bai Jianjia specially took action to protect them.

Mu Luofei's parents also died that night.

As for the surviving Mu Xingling and others, they had fallen into the demonic path and had nothing to do with her anymore.

Chen Ping sighed softly when he heard this, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Senior Sister, if you miss them, go back and take a look, move the remains of Uncle and Aunt to Fuguang Square Market."

"This will also help eliminate your inner demons, otherwise, this will not only affect your cultivation speed, but also cause inner demon obstacles, which will become an obstacle when you advance to the Golden Core stage in the future."

Foundation Establishment's advancement to Golden Core was even more difficult, as it required facing heavenly tribulation and inner demon tribulation.

After entering Foundation Establishment, the first problem was aptitude, then Immortal Dao Hundred Arts, then cultivation speed, then the queue for Three Light Divine Water, and finally the heavenly tribulation and inner demon tribulation during the Golden Core stage.

Each level was difficult, but each level could be passed.

Mu Luofei threw herself into Chen Ping's arms, feeling much more at ease: "Yes, then I'll listen to Junior Brother and go back and take a look."

She knew that Chen Ping couldn't go back, otherwise he would be targeted by the Eastern Xuan Sect, and she didn't know what consequences it would cause, delaying Chen Ping's Immortal path.

Even if she wanted to go back, she would have to change her appearance and hide her name.

Chen Ping said, "Then Senior Sister Luofei, take Senior Sister Meng with you."

"Go back and see them one last time and bring back the remains."

"I will also be in seclusion for a period of time next. When Senior Sister Luofei comes back, I should have broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

"So fast?" Mu Luofei's tearful eyes were a little surprised: "Junior Brother is about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment so soon!"

Chen Ping said with a smile, "So Senior Sister must work hard to cultivate after returning this time, otherwise, I don't know when our Daoist Companion Ceremony will be held."

"If Senior Sister's side doesn't hold the Daoist Companion Ceremony, Senior Sister Meng's side won't dare to have children."

How could a concubine be pregnant before the Daoist Companion wife?

The two women were both from the Mu family and attached great importance to this aspect of the rules.

Mu Luofei wiped away her tears, her eyes becoming firm: "Junior Brother, I won't let you wait long."

Chen Ping was her only relative and motivation in the world, and with her character, she didn't want to be left far behind by Chen Ping.

The path of Immortality ultimately required the same realm to be able to fly together.

Wasn't her and Meng Huang'er giving birth to Chen Ping's children a continuation of the Mu family that had been destroyed?

Mu Luofei felt much better all of a sudden.

Chen Ping spent a few days with Mu Luofei and then watched Mu Luofei leave with Meng Huang'er.

Chen Ping also turned around and returned to his dojo, took out a bottle of Qi Cultivation Pills, and began to swallow and refine them, his eyes firm:

"It's time to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"

Only by breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment could he fully improve his body cultivation and enhance his combat power.

The majestic medicinal power surged in, and Chen Ping began to impact the peak.
