Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping followed Pei Fengge to the weedy forest.

“It really is a Rank 3 Myriad Transformation Divine Herb!” Joy appeared in Chen Ping's eyes.

Immediately, he raised his hand and put the Myriad Transformation Divine Herb into his bag.

Beside him, Pei Fengge respectfully said, “Martial Uncle, if you want to claim this spiritual herb as your own, you must increase your points ranking as soon as possible.”

In this Long Heaven Secret Realm, killing demons and picking spiritual herbs earns points that are ranked.

And right now, Chen Ping's score is zero!

In the month or so since he entered the Long Heaven Secret Realm, he had killed a few people, and the Water Spirit Marrow he picked along the way was also used up by himself.

Right now, only the Myriad Transformation Divine Herb counts for a hundred points.

Within five years, if the points ranking doesn't go up, this Myriad Transformation Divine Herb will be taken away by others, thus benefiting them instead.

Chen Ping nodded slightly: “I know, in the time ahead, I need to improve my points ranking as soon as possible.”

Chen Ping took out the mother-child magical artifact he had with Zhou Ying, then summoned the White Jade Flying Boat, to reunite with Zhou Ying first.

There were several purposes for entering the Long Heaven Secret Realm this time: first, to advance to a Rank 3 body cultivator; second, to collect the three spiritual herbs for the Golden Spirit 引神 Pill; and third, to see if he could help Bai Jianjia find Rank 4 spiritual herbs.

Pei Fengge only needed to latch onto Chen Ping and follow him.

…

The Long Heaven Secret Realm was extremely large. The distance between Chen Ping and Zhou Ying was as far as a thousand miles. Even so, they had not yet reached the end of the secret realm. It was unknown how large it was, like a complete small world.

Zhou Ying was lucky after entering the Long Heaven Secret Realm, arriving in a remote place. In this month or so, she had not encountered any other sect disciples.

She did encounter some Rank 2 demons guarding spiritual herbs.

As a Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivator, her own combat power was average, but as a Rank 2 talisman master, she had complete preparations and was extremely wealthy. For safety, whenever she encountered a demon, she would use talismans to set up formations and kill it.

This also allowed her to recycle talisman materials.

In over a month, she had already accumulated over eight hundred points.

Before a huge ancient forest, Zhou Ying looked hesitant:

“There are no other demons or spiritual objects within a hundred miles. There is only one possibility, and that is that there are more powerful demons in this forest.”

Powerful demons were a threat, but they were also very likely to contain Rank 3 spiritual objects.

After hesitating for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhou Ying prepared to leave, but faint tiger roars came from around!

“Woo woo woo ~”

There was even the wailing of伥 ghosts.

Zhou Ying's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly summoned a magical artifact to fly, but it was already too late to act.

Soon, Zhou Ying discovered that she was surrounded by a pack of tigers. Looking up, a giant tiger the size of a small mountain appeared, slowly walking out of the forest.

Zhou Ying's face was pale: “Crimson-eyed Tiger King!”

And when she looked up, she was actually surrounded by hundreds of tiger demons!

Zhou Ying didn't dare to be careless and immediately threw out a dozen Rank 2 talismans to create an opportunity to escape.

“Roar!” The Tiger King roared, shattering the dozen or so Rank 2 talismans. Its huge demonic body leaped from the spot, and with a stretch of its claws, it shattered Zhou Ying's flying magical artifact!

Forcing Zhou Ying to activate her escape technique, her speed was not slow, but the speed of these tiger demons was even faster.

The wind followed the tiger, and the clouds followed the dragon. The distance between Zhou Ying and the tiger pack was getting closer and closer, and she was about to be surrounded by them.

Suddenly—

Azure Lotus Skyfire descended!

The entire sky was a cyan-red color, followed by sword energy like rain, erupting and burning like skyfire.

Instantly, thirty to fifty tiger demons perished.

Zhou Ying looked up and her beautiful eyes lit up:

“Senior Brother Chen!”

“We can talk later.” Chen Ping, holding the Aurora Sword, turned into a streak of azure rainbow light, swept past Zhou Ying, and went straight for the tiger pack.

“Roar—”

Many tiger demons roared, the sound of their狂啸 waves spreading out, as if they could shake the heavens and the earth, making people shudder.

Chen Ping activated Myriad Manifestations Chasing the Tides, sword energy protecting his body, and charged into the tiger pack.

In the blink of an eye, he killed three Rank 2 tiger demons.

Demon blood splattered, corpses were split in half, further enraging the tiger pack.

The tiger pack was enraged and immediately attacked Chen Ping in groups!

Tiger needles, 伥 ghosts, and sonic attacks all arrived at once.

“Clang clang clang!”

These attacks bombarded Chen Ping's sword energy armor, making harsh metallic collision sounds.

In the air, 伥 ghosts sacrificed themselves, turning into blue ghost flames to kill Chen Ping!

Seeing that the tiger demons' attacks were ineffective against him, Chen Ping raised his hand and dropped it, only caring about constantly slaughtering in the tiger pack, only attacking and not defending.

“Chī chī chī chī…”

Sword energy crisscrossed, demon blood splattered, demon corpses constantly shattered, falling to the ground.

The tiger pack became even more violent, rushing towards Chen Ping one after another!

“Kacha—”

A Rank 2 peak tiger demon bit Chen Ping's sword energy armor, its tiger teeth about to penetrate the stacked sword energy, pointing directly at Chen Ping's flesh.

Chen Ping backhanded with a punch, a force of up to 30,000 catties slammed on the head of this tiger demon.

“Bang—”

The flesh of this Rank 2 peak tiger demon was directly blasted open alive by Chen Ping, demon blood and殘尸, splattering other tiger demons!

The remaining tiger demons were not afraid of death and continued to rush towards Chen Ping.

Holding a sword in one hand and waving his fist in the other, his long hair danced wildly with Chen Ping's movements, one tiger demon after another was beheaded by Chen Ping!

In just two cups of tea, more than half of the hundreds of tiger packs had died or were injured, while Chen Ping was unscathed, his appearance still handsome and otherworldly, without even a speck of demon blood on his body.

Chen Ping's offensive did not stop. In his eyes, this group of tiger demons was a continuous stream of merit points: “One point for a Rank 1 demon, ten points for a Rank 2 demon, and one hundred points for a Rank 3 spiritual herb.”

In these two cups of tea, Chen Ping's merits had reached as high as three hundred points!

Suddenly, the remaining half of the tiger demons knelt down and prostrated themselves.

The Crimson-eyed Tiger King, whose body was like a small mountain, appeared. Seeing hundreds of its offspring being beheaded by Chen Ping, it was extremely furious and actually spoke human words:

“Damn human junior!”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ping and the others were shocked.

For a demon to speak human words, it must refine its transverse bone, and this sign is a Rank 3 demon!

“Can speak human words, very high combat power!”

“But, I can't feel the pressure of a Rank 3 demon from it, is it a half-step Rank 3?”

The thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ping turned into azure light, holding the Aurora Sword, bringing a fierce and majestic sword energy and suddenly rushed forward, pouncing towards the Crimson-eyed Tiger King.

“Zī—”

The Crimson-eyed Tiger King raised a claw and collided with Chen Ping's sword energy, making a fierce metallic collision sound, and then the tiger claw broke through the sword energy, the sharp claws went straight to Chen Ping, it seemed that this palm was enough to kill Chen Ping into meat paste!

“Clang!!!”

A huge force struck the Aurora Sword, Chen Ping's forward movement suddenly stagnated, and then Chen Ping's left hand punched hard forward.

“Bang—”

The Crimson-eyed Tiger King's huge demonic body flew out, and there was a hideous and terrifying bloody wound on the tiger's claw.

But soon, the wound healed.

Then the Crimson-eyed Tiger King roared and rushed towards Chen Ping again!

This kind of healing speed was even faster than Chen Ping's, causing Chen Ping's pupils to shrink slightly!
