Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping had a smile that was not quite a smile on his face:

"Spare your life? Tiger, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Hu's body trembled violently like a sieve, his face pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down.

He had plotted against Chen Ping many times, left Chen Ping out in the cold for a long time, and he had taken Chen Ping's discovered Tier 2 mineral vein for himself.

These few things alone were enough for Chen Ping to kill him several times.

Not to mention, he even used his own concubine to test Chen Ping.

Looking back now, he was frantically testing on the edge of death.

But now that Chen Ping had recovered his strength, Zhao Hu couldn't even muster a trace of resentment or thoughts of revenge.

Zhao Hu's brain was spinning wildly, racking his brains to say something that could save his life.

At this moment, Nan Yun walked in: "Fellow Daoist Chen, the Sea God Cult cultivators on the nearby islands have all been killed."

Zhao Hu's face turned ashen.

In a moment of madness, Zhao Hu actually said: "Master Ping, I will offer you my pair of twin flower sisters to play with. Can you please be merciful and spare my life?"

"You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, why bother with a mere Qi Refinement cultivator like me?"

Before Chen Ping could speak, Nan Yun frowned slightly, scanned with her spiritual sense, and then flicked her finger gently, sending out two streams of spiritual power that instantly killed Zhao Hu's group of twin flower maidservants.

In her presence, wanting to offer Chen Ping women, and offering two used cauldrons?

This was intolerable.

So Nan Yun took action and killed the two maidservants.

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows slightly: "How about this, Zhao Hu."

"If you are willing to leave the Sea God Cult, I can spare your life, what do you say?"

Zhao Hu's face lit up with joy, and he immediately agreed. Then Chen Ping made a move, pointing a bit of spiritual power at his lower abdomen, at his dantian.

He directly crippled his Qi Sea and spiritual roots.

"Ah!!!" Zhao Hu immediately felt excruciating pain.

"Let's go, to the next place." Chen Ping turned around and left slowly.

He spared Zhao Hu's life, but crippled his cultivation, which could be considered repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

Nan Yun was puzzled: "Fellow Daoist Chen, why didn't you just kill him?"

Chen Ping said lightly: "Although this person has done evil, he also sheltered me when I was captured here as a mine slave, and he also took me to the Shattered Star Square City. In the end, it was a favor."

Without Zhao Hu, Chen Ping didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could go to the Shattered Star Square City.

"Where shall we go next?"

Chen Ping's eyes were cold: "The Immortal Merchant Guild's branch stronghold..."

He couldn't kill the Golden Core of the Immortal Merchant Guild right now, but he could destroy a stronghold of the Immortal Merchant Guild to vent his anger.

Before leaving Haoyu Sea, there was one last favor to repay.

"Nan Yun, you and Junior Brother Luo go to this stronghold and kill all the people from the Immortal Merchant Guild."

"Then come here to find me."

Chen Ping left the coordinates of Bishui Island.

...

Bishui Island.

Tao Family.

Since the Tao Family's large-scale offshore venture failed several years ago, and the clansmen and wealth all fell into the hands of the Sea God Cult.

The Tao Family was badly hurt.

But fortunately, the Tao Family still had Yue Tang, a gifted spiritual farmer.

In the world of cultivation, although small, low-level families are like weeds, fragile, small, and numerous, their resilience is also extremely strong.

After a brief period of sadness and pain, the Tao Family contracted and continued to focus on cultivation, strengthening the family's foundation.

As for the matter of rising again, no one mentioned it anymore.

And Yue Tang's situation became a bit delicate.

Several years had passed, and Yue Tang had grown from a little loli into a graceful and beautiful young woman.

She was tall, with a delicate figure, and looked very lovable.

And the Tao Family had already begun to take action on Yue Tang's marriage.

The Tao Family's direct descendants wanted to marry Yue Tang, but Yue Tang refused, stating that she already had a husband.

The Tao Family used both soft and hard tactics, but Yue Tang still refused to agree.

So they had to imprison Yue Tang in a small courtyard, making her a caged bird.

Although the girl was beautiful, her eyes were full of sadness.

Her figure gradually became thinner.

This day, she suddenly heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice in her ear:

"Tang'er, it's been several years, you have grown more and more outstanding and beautiful."

Yue Tang raised her head and saw Chen Ping in a black Taoist robe, with handsome features and a tall figure, floating in the air, and then landing in front of her.

"Flying Immortal?" Yue Tang was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe what she saw: "Are you... Brother Chen Ping?"

"It's me." Chen Ping nodded slightly.

Yue Tang had too little knowledge, she still couldn't believe it: "But Brother Chen Ping wasn't with the Tao Family's ship..."

Seeing that Yue Tang still didn't believe it, Chen Ping smiled and said:

"A few years ago, you found me in the fishing net. It was the old man who brought me back home and asked me to be your live-in son-in-law."

This matter was also top secret, otherwise Chen Ping would not have been able to escape the Immortal Merchant Guild's search back then.

Yue Tang finally believed it when she heard this.

Then she burst into tears:

"Brother Chen Ping, you're finally back! Grandpa... Grandpa died so miserably..."

The girl was originally a girl from a small island, with little knowledge. She had depended on her grandfather since she was a child. Chen Ping taught her spiritual farming knowledge and skills. In her heart, he was the closest and most reliable person besides her grandfather.

Chen Ping frowned slightly: "What happened to the old man?"

The old man was about the same age as Chen Ping. Although he was a mortal, his wisdom was not low. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to deceive cultivators as a mortal and allow Chen Ping to escape their search.

If it weren't for Yue Tang's grandfather, Chen Ping might have drifted to his death in Haoyu Sea.

Moreover, being located in the territory of the Immortal Merchant Guild was even more dangerous.

Yue Tang's voice choked, extremely sad: "A few years ago, the Tao Family's merchant ship had an accident, and the Tao Family was badly hurt. The Tao Family wanted to force me to marry the Tao Family's eldest son."

"I didn't agree."

"They arrested Grandpa and didn't let Grandpa eat or drink for half a month, starving Grandpa to death."

"Extremely despicable!" Chen Ping's face darkened, and a hint of killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

A dignified cultivator family actually tortured a mortal like this, which shocked and angered Chen Ping.

Moreover, the old man's death was also related to Chen Ping.

If Chen Ping hadn't wanted to leave Bishui Island, Yue Tang wouldn't have shown her face, and the old man wouldn't have been starved to death.

Chen Ping grabbed Yue Tang's hand:

"Let's go, Tang'er, I'll take you to take revenge!"

"I will stand up for all the grievances you have suffered!"

Not to mention that the Tao Family was just a small Qi Refinement family, even if there were several Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in town, today, Chen Ping would still make them bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Being held by Chen Ping, Yue Tang's delicate body trembled, and she immediately found a backbone. Her eyes sparkled with tears: "Grandpa, you really didn't misjudge the person..."

An unspeakable sense of security surged into Yue Tang's heart.

Chen Ping led her out of the courtyard.

The Qi Refinement cultivator guarding Yue Tang saw Chen Ping and was immediately shocked and angry:

"Who are you? How dare you break into my Tao Family's forbidden area, you're looking for death!"

Chen Ping's eyes were cold, revealing a hint of teasing smile: "I'm looking for death? You're the ones who are making false accusations first."

The voice fell.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's majestic mana surged.

"Bang--"

Chen Ping casually cast a spell, and half of the Tao Family's territory instantly turned into ruins, shocking countless people.
