Mortal Alchemy

"It feels so good to have power again."

Chen Ping exhaled heavily, as if to release all the frustration and humiliation of the past three or four years.

He swept his spatial ring and took out some pills to swallow and refine.

He began to further restore his spiritual power, divine soul, and physical injuries.

"Nan Yun, you should also go down and rest well to restore your condition," Chen Ping said to Nan Yun.

A resentful look appeared in Nan Yun's eyes, and her tone was faint and somewhat displeased:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you going to throw me aside after you're done using me?"

Chen Ping said:

"I will give you enough compensation."

"After this time, you don't have to stay in the Broken Star Square City all the time, you can return to the Floating Light Square City with me."

A look of surprise and joy appeared in Nan Yun's eyes. This meant that Chen Ping was not just using her Yuan Yin power, but regarded her as one of his own.

She was a native of Haoyu Sea and had never been to Broken Star Square City. Although she had been dealing with Fang Xing and others all these years, she yearned for the more prosperous Floating Light Square City, but without Chen Ping's permission, she never dared to go, fearing that she would trigger the heart demon oath.

Nan Yun covered her mouth and chuckled, "With Fellow Daoist Chen's words, I can rest assured."

Only then did she stagger to her feet and put on her dress gracefully.

It was still that enchanting and revealing long dress, with a fragrant scent and hair like a waterfall.

Chen Ping glanced at her.

Nan Yun pursed her lips slightly, and immediately took out a new set of clothes from the space ring and put them on. It was not so enchanting and revealing, but still sexy and beautiful. Then she took out a jade hairpin and put her hair up.

Chen Ping nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and continued to heal his injuries.

Nan Yun's nature could not be changed. Even if she became Chen Ping's woman, it was still a matter of exchanging benefits. It was not realistic to make her change completely.

Moreover, her spiritual body and style of doing things could not only help Chen Ping earn money and search for resources, but also help Chen Ping track down enemies.

Nan Yun exited the secret room.

Luo Chongzhi said with a concerned face: "Sister-in-law, how is Senior Brother Chen's situation?"

They knew that Chen Ping and Nan Yun were practicing dual cultivation, but they didn't bother to investigate the details.

Nan Yun's small face was pale, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she showed a charming smile:

"Fellow Daoist Chen has recovered and is continuing to heal his injuries. There is nothing serious."

Luo Chongzhi, Fang Xing, and Han Tongbao all breathed a sigh of relief.

The way they looked at Nan Yun had already changed.

Nan Yun suddenly enjoyed this feeling. In this way, she, Chen Ping, Fang Xing, and others could be considered her own people.

Luo Chongzhi cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

"Yes," Nan Yun responded softly, "I'll go into seclusion and rest for a while."

Luo Chongzhi and others continued to guard here to prevent strong enemies from attacking.

...

Half a month later, Chen Ping safely left seclusion.

Nan Yun, Luo Chongzhi, and others were drinking tea in the courtyard, with tired expressions in their eyes from not resting for many days.

Chen Ping felt a warmth in his heart.

Cultivation is ruthless, and the world of cultivation is cruel, but Chen Ping has a few close junior brothers, which is quite rare.

Chen Ping smiled and cupped his fists, "You junior brothers have worked hard."

Han Tongbao smiled and said, "It's good that Senior Brother Chen has recovered. We were really scared these past few days. How could you have suffered such serious injuries?"

Chen Ping narrated, "A few years ago, I encountered a Golden Core cultivator from the Immortal Merchant Association. After a few moves, I was lucky..."

Then he told them everything about being stranded on Bishui Island and being captured by the Sea God Sect to be a mine slave.

There was an extremely unfair aura in Chen Ping's words, and everyone heard Chen Ping's killing intent.

"Loss of cultivation, reduced to a mortal, captured to be a mine slave..." Everyone's minds were shaken, and they secretly said that Chen Ping's situation was not easy.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.

But Chen Ping not only endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens, but also risked his life to come to Broken Star Square City for help.

That day, Chen Ping was only a line away from dying in the hands of the Sea God Sect's Foundation Establishment Protector.

Chen Ping's injuries had also stepped into the gate of hell with half a foot.

Now Chen Ping's injuries have fully recovered.

Fortunately, Chen Ping's cultivation technique was special, otherwise his divine soul and body would have suffered such serious injuries, and even if he recovered, he would have cut off his path.

Fang Xing: "Senior Brother Chen, are you going to return to Floating Light Square City now?"

Chen Ping's eyes were filled with cold killing intent:

"First, I will repay my grudges and kindness, and then return to Floating Light Square City."

"When I come to Haoyu Sea next time, I will definitely have advanced to the Golden Core stage! Completely avenge my grievances!"

Now that his cultivation has fully recovered, he is only one step away from advancing to the Golden Core stage. As long as he refines the Golden Spirit Guidance Pill, he can attack the Golden Core and trigger the heavenly tribulation!

"You will act with me. Nan Yun, you should have remembered the aura of the Sea God Sect's Foundation Establishment Protector that day, right?"

Nan Yun nodded slightly and covered her mouth with a chuckle, "As long as I get within three thousand miles of that person, I can capture his whereabouts."

This shocked Fang Xing and others. Nan Yun actually had such abilities?

Sure enough... Chen Ping nodded slightly.

Only then did Nan Yun reveal her bottom line. Her spiritual body's ability was truly extraordinary.

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "There is still more than a year left before the Nascent Soul Seed Battle, that's enough!"

"Let's go!"

Chen Ping summoned the White Jade Flying Boat from his space ring, carried a few people away from Broken Star Square City, and went deep into the Haoyu Sea.

After traveling tens of thousands of miles, Chen Ping first came to Wangling Island to find the Treasure Hunting Mink.

"Brother Mink," Chen Ping said.

"Ying ying ying!" The Treasure Hunting Mink was a little excited, and there was some resentment in its tone.

Chen Ping explained with a wry smile, "There was an accident that day, so I didn't come to find you for several years."

Nan Yun, Fang Xing and others were shocked: "This is a Golden-haired Treasure Hunting Mink, hasn't it been extinct in the Eastern Region cultivation world for thousands of years?"

"Senior Brother Chen actually has one!"

They vaguely guessed that Chen Ping was able to surpass them and establish his foundation one step ahead, perhaps related to the Treasure Hunting Mink.

After this incident, Chen Ping revealed a part of his trump cards to them.

Because after Chen Ping advances to the Golden Core stage, he will definitely conquer Haoyu Sea, and Nan Yun, Fang Xing, and others are all his helpers.

Nan Yun's eyes moved slightly: "Since he has a Treasure Hunting Mink, why did he still go to sea with us back then..."

With a Treasure Hunting Mink, she wouldn't need to accompany him at all.

After finding the Treasure Hunting Mink, Chen Ping's eyes were cold:

"Let's go, next it's time to find the Sea God Sect for revenge."

...

A branch stronghold of the Sea God Sect.

The white-robed Foundation Establishment Protector had been feeling uneasy these past few days, his eyelids were twitching, and a feeling of impending disaster surged into his heart.

"What's going on?"

"Who wants to harm me?"

"Is it the person who escaped from Broken Star Square City?"

"He was so seriously injured that he won't be able to recover his cultivation in three to five years."

"In three to five years, I will have already been transferred and will no longer be guarding this island."

"Then what's going on?"

The white-robed Foundation Establishment Protector frowned.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sword cry, accompanied by rolling thunder, and Chen Ping's angry voice:

"Ding Miao, get out here and die!!!"

Ding Miao, is the name of the white-robed Foundation Establishment Protector.
