Mortal Alchemy

"Now that Chen Ping has obtained the third-order Water Spirit Marrow, if he's brave enough, he can step into the third-order body refinement realm. That should be enough to secure a spot in the top ten this time."

"Indeed."

"Don't forget, everyone, Li Xuan's senior brother is that Sword Spirit Root…"

A natural Sword Spirit Root is also one of the most top-tier aptitudes in the world, far surpassing ordinary spiritual bodies and spiritual roots.

It's rumored that Sword and Blade Spirit Roots, when utilized to their fullest potential, can kill enemies beyond their own cultivation level.

But even if Chen Ping breaks through to the third-order body refinement, he still won't be a match for a Blade Spirit Root.

Bai Jianjia's expression suddenly changed: "The Natural Teaching Sect actually sent a Blade Spirit Root. Isn't he preparing for the Nascent Soul Seed battle?"

Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "I remember the Blade Spirit Root being called Luo Daoliu. The Natural Teaching Sect's list of disciples doesn't have anyone named Luo Daoliu. Report to the Superior! The Natural Teaching Sect is concealing their list and must be punished!"

The four Golden Core cultivators from the Natural Teaching Sect turned even paler: "Report to the Superior!"

"We didn't know that Luo Daoliu changed his appearance and secretly followed his concubine to the Changtian Secret Realm!"

"You despicable thing! To conceal his identity and enter the Changtian Secret Realm for the sake of a lowly concubine!"

Superior Jing Tian said expressionlessly: "Luo Daoliu concealed his identity to enter the Changtian Secret Realm. When he comes out, he will be suppressed for sixty years as punishment!"

Sixty years! Luo Daoliu will miss the Nascent Soul Seed battle and the best time to advance to Golden Core!

The four Golden Core cultivators from the Natural Teaching Sect looked bitter: "We respectfully obey the Superior's decree!"

This Superior Jing Tian is from the Demon Subduing Sect. Who would dare to refute him?

Previously, there was the Sword Spirit Root from the Eastern Profound Sect, who entered the Nascent Soul stage at less than two hundred years old.

Now, the Blade Spirit Root, who shares the same reputation as the Sword Spirit Root, ruined his own path for a concubine.

Truly foolish.

Only the Natural Teaching Sect would do such an absurd thing.

This made Ling Xiao feel much better: "…It's good that the Blade Spirit Root can't participate in the subsequent Nascent Soul Seed battle."

At this time, the Golden Core female cultivator from the Myriad Desires Pavilion said faintly: "With Luo Daoliu among them, I'm afraid all the disciples from the several sects will die at his hands this time."

The Golden Core cultivators from the several sects immediately changed their expressions.

Bai Jianjia's face turned slightly pale, and she immediately became worried: "Junior Brother…"

Ling Xiao comforted her: "Don't worry, with Junior Brother Chengping's aptitude, even if he can't defeat Luo Daoliu, he can always escape. The two sword techniques that Junior Brother Chengping knows are also good for saving his life."

Qian Shui said indifferently: "The best thing is to hope that he doesn't run into Luo Daoliu next."

As for the life and death of other disciples, no one cared, including Wang Funi, who was also a Nascent Soul true disciple.

Although they are Golden Core cultivators from the Eastern Profound Sect, they inevitably have the idea of letting all these disciples die.

…

Inside the Changtian Secret Realm.

Chen Ping urged his essence blood to heal his injuries.

His injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he returned to normal in just half a day.

"It's time to advance to the third-order body refinement!" Chen Ping gritted his teeth: "Although it's rushed, there's no other way."

If he encountered such a powerful Natural Teaching Sect disciple at random, would he have to be so embarrassed when he encountered disciples from other sects next?

Chen Ping didn't know that Li Xuan, whom he had killed, was the second-ranked genius expert among the Natural Teaching Sect disciples this time.

Chen Ping took out the pill furnace, the third-order Water Spirit Marrow, and some second-order spiritual herbs, and started a fire to boil the medicinal soup.

Chen Ping's physical body was submerged in the pill furnace, and he immediately shivered:

"Cold! So cold!"

This was also the first time he had taken a third-order spiritual medicine. Using a third-order spiritual medicine with a second-order body was inherently a risky behavior.

When it's cold to the extreme, Yang is born!

Chen Ping circulated his cultivation technique and immediately began to break through to the third-order body refinement.

The five viscera contained spirits, but they didn't reach the extreme.

The power of the medicinal bath was extremely cold, but it began to stimulate Chen Ping's five viscera to rapidly improve!

The heart is the Wood God, the lungs are the Metal God, the kidneys are the Water God, the liver is the Fire God, and the spleen is the Earth God.

After the divine will was full, it flew out from the five viscera and began to merge into other internal organs.

The third-order body refinement is the extraordinary transformation of the physical body. First of all, the five viscera must be extraordinary, and then the blood, tendons, bones, and fur.

The essence of the Water Spirit Marrow entered Chen Ping's physical body and began to make Chen Ping's body surface golden-skinned and jade-sinewed, impervious to gold, stone, and magical treasures.

This made Chen Ping happy: "Perhaps my aptitude in the way of body refinement is really not bad."

The physical body was transformed extraordinarily from the outside to the inside, and from the inside to the outside at the same time, which was undoubtedly good news and shortened the time for Chen Ping to advance to the third-order body refinement.

At the moment when the two were transformed extraordinarily at the same time, the divine will emerged, gathered at the spiritual platform, and began to travel through Chen Ping's meridians!

"Rumble!!!"

A great, unspeakable terror suddenly rose in Chen Ping's heart, and he realized: "The third-order body refinement heavenly tribulation is coming!"

With a sound of thunder exploding, the mountain stream where Chen Ping was located was shattered, and Chen Ping's true appearance was revealed to the world.

…

In the waterside pavilion.

"Eh!"

"This Chen Ping actually started to undergo the third-order body refinement tribulation so quickly."

"As expected of Superior Gong Yue's disciple, so brave and diligent, he has three-tenths of her appearance back then…"

Chen Ping's unhesitating advancement to the third-order body refinement drew praise from a group of Golden Core cultivators.

…

"Rumble!!!"

Another heavenly tribulation thunder struck Chen Ping.

The terrifying power of destruction entered his body, as if to obliterate Chen Ping's vitality.

In a flash of lightning, Chen Ping urged his essence blood to suppress his injuries.

At the same time, he could feel that the flow of divine will in his body seemed to be scattered, but the speed of flow was even faster.

Not only was Chen Ping's vitality not obliterated, but it became even more vigorous, as if stimulating the potential in Chen Ping's body.

"Crackling—"

The third heavenly tribulation thunder descended, and snake-like lightning struck Chen Ping, causing his flesh and blood to fly, and even the smell of cooked焦味.

"Eh, there is actually a hint of vitality hidden in this heavenly tribulation thunder."

"As expected, the Great Dao is fifty, forty-nine is murderous, and one line of vitality is derived!"

After the third heavenly tribulation thunder struck, the originally unremarkable blood in Chen Ping's body began to transform.

The blood began to faintly carry a hint of purple. Not only that, but Chen Ping also felt that the bottleneck shackles in his body were inexplicably shattered and dissipated a little.

"Body refinement tribulation, the immortal cultivation base can actually have such benefits!"

Chen Ping seemed to have realized something, and he operated the Great Purple Immortal Pill Scripture as if by a ghost.

Then a magical scene appeared.

Chen Ping's physical body began to recover under the washing of the heavenly tribulation thunder.

"This is… a divine power?"

"Turning the cultivation technique and essence blood I cultivated into an instinctive divine power?"

In an instant, all kinds of insights flooded Chen Ping's heart.

From advancing to the third-order body refinement until now, Chen Ping already possessed three benefits.

Chen Ping looked up at the sky. In the tribulation cloud, the final heavenly tribulation thunder was brewing!

For no reason, a sense of boldness welled up in Chen Ping's heart: "Come on!"

"Let this heavenly tribulation thunder forge a stronger me!"

"Rumble!!!"

Thunder was like rain, concentrated in one place, and blasted towards Chen Ping!
