Mortal Alchemy

The Myriad Desires Pavilion is located in the western part of the Eastern Region's cultivation world.

Geographically, it is closer to the Bathing Sun Sea.

From a distance, countless floating islands can be seen, and the Myriad Desires Pavilion's female cultivators, dressed in revealing clothes that expose large areas of fair skin, fly between the floating islands and in the air.

Each floating island has exquisite pavilions, filled with fragrance.

It makes one sigh in admiration, a true paradise on earth.

Outside the Myriad Desires Pavilion's sect, there are many male cultivators with infatuated expressions, lingering here and unwilling to leave.

From toddlers to eighty-year-old men, all are cauldrons for the Myriad Desires Pavilion, having their yang essence extracted to replenish yin, unaware and willing to die on a fairy's belly, feeling it is the ultimate bliss.

At this moment.

Elite disciples from the four major sects of the Eastern Region's cultivation world have gathered here in large numbers.

The clamor echoes for over a hundred miles.

Flying ships, airships, flying boats, island beasts, and sword-riding streams of light number in the thousands.

Where crowds gather, someone sets up a betting table, and the area around the betting table is always bustling with people.

As the host, and with the battle for the Nascent Soul seeds having been held dozens of times, the Myriad Desires Pavilion has long built a large area of floating islands and pavilions to accommodate guests.

The Eastern Profound Sect, the Demon Subduing Sect, and the Heaven's Creation Sect each have a huge floating island.

There are still three days before the official start of the battle for the Nascent Soul seeds.

"Creak-"

Chen Ping walked out of a spacious, antique-style pavilion room, his eyes filled with fatigue.

He had been here for over a month, cultivating day and night.

Standing outside the door was Pei Fengge.

The huge pavilion on the floating island had thousands of rooms, all occupied by Eastern Profound Sect disciples.

Among them, disciples were separated according to different mountain peaks and departments.

Only two people were from the Palace Moon Peak, and Bai Jianjia was in the elegant room next to Chen Ping, so there was no fear of someone coming to sneak attack Chen Ping.

Zhou Ying, Meng Huang'er, and Wang Funi had also arrived, but Chen Ping had not met with them, only using the sound transmission device to say a few short words, that life and death were paramount, and romantic feelings should wait until after this event.

As soon as Chen Ping appeared, many strangers' gazes were cast upon him.

There were indifferent, mocking, cold, pitying, and regretful gazes.

Chen Ping looked at Pei Fengge expressionlessly:

"What is it?"

Pei Fengge smiled and said, "Senior Uncle, some senior and junior brothers from our sect want to see you, saying they have a method to solve your current predicament. I don't know if Senior Uncle is willing to meet them?"

Pei Fengge couldn't read Chen Ping's expression and didn't know what Chen Ping was thinking, assuming Chen Ping would refuse.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping said:

"Lead the way then."

A look of joy flashed in Pei Fengge's eyes: "Yes, Senior Uncle."

In the entire Eastern Profound Sect, besides Chen Ping's few women, he was the only one who had a relationship with Chen Ping and could meet him.

For this, Pei Fengge had received a lot of benefits to come and find Chen Ping.

"Giggle giggle ~" Walking along the way, one could hear the incessant sound of silver bells and the refreshing fragrance.

Even more so, large patches of fair skin flashed before his eyes.

Many Myriad Desires Pavilion female cultivators, who were not eligible for the battle for the Nascent Soul seeds, voluntarily became maids, serving tea and pouring water as basic operations.

If they encountered someone suitable, they could engage in dual cultivation, extracting yang essence to replenish yin. Of course, if one could afford the price, extracting yin to replenish yang was not a problem either.

The sound of silver bells kept ringing, and naturally, there were also lewd and unrestrained sounds.

Chen Ping ignored them all.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Arriving at the Myriad Desires Pavilion's territory, one must respect the Myriad Desires Pavilion's rules.

...

Inside an elegant room.

Pei Fengge led Chen Ping to this place, then stood outside the door to wait for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping pushed the door open and saw several Eastern Profound Sect cultivators wearing gorgeous Daoist robes, which were obviously magical treasures, sitting there.

According to seniority, Chen Ping was higher than them.

But when these people saw Chen Ping coming, they sat motionless in their chairs, not even cupping their hands and bowing to call him Senior Uncle Chen Ping.

Obviously, these Eastern Profound Sect cultivators had great origins.

Chen Ping glanced at them. These people's faces were extremely unfamiliar to him, as this was their first meeting.

But Chen Ping knew all the information about these people, all of whom were direct bloodlines of Nascent Soul cultivators and direct bloodlines of Golden Core cultivators.

Chen Ping skipped the pleasantries and said, "I heard you have a way to solve my current predicament. Tell me about it."

Perhaps the person behind this was the one in the Eastern Profound Sect who coveted his Eight Treasures Infant Protecting Pill.

The leading man wore a third-order magic treasure Daoist robe, with a face like jade and a refined temperament, extremely extraordinary. He said:

"Senior Uncle Chen Ping, we naturally have a way to call you here."

"To be honest, we have no grievances or hatred with Senior Uncle Chen Ping, so we naturally wouldn't harm Senior Uncle Chen Ping."

"But your master, Senior Uncle, is hard to say."

After all, he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and didn't dare to directly call the Nascent Soul cultivator's name.

The speaker, named Gu Hong, was a third-generation direct grandson of a Nascent Soul cultivator, with extraordinary talent. He himself was a special spiritual root. Although his reputation was not prominent and he didn't often show his face, who would dare to underestimate him?

"We know that Senior Uncle Chen Ping can't make the decision about the Eight Treasures Infant Protecting Pill. That person is the one who is doing evil, forcing Senior Uncle to his death."

"As long as Senior Uncle Chen Ping voluntarily withdraws from the battle for the Nascent Soul seeds, and voluntarily severs the relationship between master and disciple, and withdraws from the Eastern Profound Sect, the Transformation God Sect Leader will not attack a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator."

"There is a precedent for this. Previously, a descendant of the Mu family pretended to be a Nascent Soul true disciple, but was only expelled from the Eastern Profound Sect, without any life-threatening danger."

He was talking about Mu Xingling.

Chen Ping sneered. How could he not know this method?

But to say the least, once he withdrew from the Eastern Profound Sect, Yan Xiuyang, the Nascent Soul cultivator's son who had a feud with him, would probably attack.

A Foundation Establishment loose cultivator without a title, anyone could kill him.

Chen Ping was now an Eastern Profound Sect direct disciple. On the surface, no Golden Core cultivator dared to attack him.

Once Chen Ping really withdrew from the Eastern Profound Sect, what awaited him was death.

Putting aside everything else, Chen Ping's third-order Aurora Sword alone would make Golden Core cultivators covet it and attack.

Killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a Golden Core cultivator would get him a third-order sword treasure. How could it not be worth it?

Immediately afterward, others spoke up:

"That's right."

"On this basis, as long as Senior Uncle Chen Ping voluntarily hands over the Three Lights Divine Water to us, I can send Senior Uncle Chen Ping to a safe place to spend the rest of his life."

"Moreover, Senior Uncle Chen Ping must also voluntarily hand over that third-order sword treasure."

"And also voluntarily hand over everything he obtained in the Eastern Profound Sect, completely becoming a loose cultivator. In this way, Senior Uncle Chen Ping's life will be safe, and he can safely spend the rest of his life."

Chen Ping frowned, and anger surged in his chest.

These people, one voluntarily and the other voluntarily, were forcing him to hand over his good things, squeezing out the value of his interests.

They were truly ugly to look at, with greed without limits.

Gu Hong said:

"Senior Uncle Chen Ping, please consider it quickly. We don't have so much time to leisurely wait for you to consider."

Chen Ping only uttered one word:

"Get out!"
