Mortal Alchemy

Chen Ping did not act rashly, and asked, "What is your master's background and origin?"

Tao Shuang'er said, "My master is Li Jizong, a renegade from the Celestial Sect."

"Celestial Sect?"

"A renegade?"

Chen Ping stroked his chin. The Celestial Sect was also well-known in the Eastern Domain's cultivation world.

Ranked as one of the Four Great Sects, its behavior was both righteous and evil. Although it didn't follow the path of dual cultivation like the Myriad Desires Pavilion, it had no moral bottom line.

Women they took a fancy to were taken as disciples and made to serve them. Even if the master was a female cultivator, they would try every means to get their hands on her once they took a liking.

Debauchery and extravagance were common. The female cultivators of the Celestial Sect even had affairs with male favorites.

But what did this Li Jizong do, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to be expelled from the Celestial Sect?

However, the Celestial Sect was located in the wealthiest area of the Eastern Domain's cultivation world, and coupled with the sect's immoral atmosphere, everyone was relatively wealthy.

This could also explain why a Foundation Establishment cultivator had so many good things and could leave them to Tao Shuang'er, a small Qi Refining fifth layer cultivator.

"The relics of a deceased Foundation Establishment cultivator." This time, Chen Ping's eyes revealed a glint of light.

Chen Ping squinted his eyes and said:

"Tao Shuang'er, as long as you give me all of your master's relics, I will spare your life."

As he spoke, he arrived in front of Tao Shuang'er's cultivation place.

Tao Shuang'er's face was pale, and her steps were faltering: "Please follow me, Senior. My master's cave where he passed away is not within the cultivation place, but behind it."

Chen Ping followed behind Tao Shuang'er for the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, bypassing the cultivation place and arriving at a hidden stone chamber.

This place, serving as the place of passing, was quite hidden. Without being a close person, it would be impossible to find this place.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Ping's eyes:

"You open the stone chamber and go in first."

"Yes, Senior." Tao Shuang'er made a hand seal, cast a spell, and opened the door to the stone chamber.

To avoid any tricks, Chen Ping struck Tao Shuang'er in the lower abdomen with a palm.

"Ah!" Tao Shuang'er screamed: "My spiritual power!"

Chen Ping said coldly:

"Stop yelling. I'm just temporarily sealing your spiritual power. If there are no problems, I will naturally undo the seal later."

Even if there were tricks in this stone chamber, with Tao Shuang'er's spiritual power sealed, she couldn't do anything.

Tao Shuang'er's face turned even paler.

Tao Shuang'er first walked into the stone chamber, while Chen Ping stood outside the stone chamber, holding a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other. If Tao Shuang'er made any unusual movements, Chen Ping would kill her.

Time passed by slowly, and Tao Shuang'er stood in the stone chamber without any problems.

But Chen Ping still did not enter rashly.

Judging from his previous methods of dealing with enemies, some talismans, once activated, had a time limit, and would automatically activate when the time was up.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During this time, Tao Shuang'er had not eaten a drop of water, and was injured. She had already collapsed on the ground and fainted.

Chen Ping still did not enter rashly, but carefully observed whether this woman Tao Shuang'er was acting.

After another two days, Chen Ping saw that this woman Tao Shuang'er's breathing was gradually weakening, her injuries were worsening, and she was on the verge of death. It wouldn't be long before she died.

This couldn't be faked.

Chen Ping was extremely cautious. Only after seeing this scene did he secretly relax and slowly walk into the stone chamber.

In the innermost part of the stone chamber, sat a white skeleton wearing the gorgeous robes of a Celestial Sect disciple, who had been dead for who knows how long.

Scattered objects were placed on both sides of the stone chamber. Among them, the most eye-catching was a spatial ring.

Chen Ping's eyes lit up. A single spatial ring could be sold for five thousand spirit stones.

This was a Celestial Sect disciple's spatial ring, and who knew how many good things were inside.

Second-order spirit fire, second-order offensive magic tools, and this spatial ring. This Foundation Establishment cultivator was really too wealthy.

Chen Ping stood in place, carefully raised his hand, and prepared to remotely grab the spatial ring.

Suddenly.

A blue ghost fire appeared out of nowhere.

"Bang--"

The stone chamber door closed instantly.

"Hehehe, my good disciple, I didn't expect you to bring such a good body for me."

"After I seize it, I will definitely satisfy you."

Tao Shuang'er, who was lying on the ground, had actually woken up at some point, opened her eyes, and said with a charming smile:

"Thank you for your praise, Master. Shuang'er has suffered a lot to imprint this person into the body-snatching formation."

"It would be unreasonable if Master didn't show Shuang'er some love."

Chen Ping's face suddenly changed: "Body snatching? This Foundation Establishment cultivator is not dead?"

The ground beneath his feet erupted with blue light, revealing a formation. Chen Ping wanted to activate the talisman in his sleeve, but found that his body couldn't move, and even the spiritual power in his body couldn't be mobilized.

Such a small place actually had a second-order formation engraved.

Chen Ping's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Tao Shuang'er looked at Chen Ping with cold, resentful eyes and a seductive smile on her face:

"Fellow Daoist Tang, your body is not bad. Just give it to my master to seize it. Don't even think about struggling."

How could Chen Ping not realize at this moment that this woman had been acting from the beginning, deceiving him and lulling him into complacency.

Deliberately revealing the news of her deceased Foundation Establishment master.

"Bitch! I will definitely kill you later!" Chen Ping revealed a fierce look.

"Hehehe." Tao Shuang'er laughed, trembling like a flower: "Fellow Daoist Tang, just give your body to Master to seize it."

"Swish swish!"

The sitting white bones emitted a soul fluctuation belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Then Chen Ping saw a blue light rushing over, directly entering Chen Ping's brow.

"Ah!!!" Chen Ping's expression was ferocious, and he let out a painful roar, immediately bleeding from all seven orifices.

That was the sign of Li Jizong starting to seize the body.

The blood vessels all over Chen Ping's body bulged, and he actually spat out a voice that did not belong to him: "Tsk tsk, a Qi Refining thirteenth layer cultivator, this is a cultivation method that only the direct descendants of those old immortals would pass on. And a first-order late-stage body cultivator, not bad, not bad, really not bad."

"Shuang'er, protect me well while I seize the body."

Tao Shuang'er gave a graceful salute: "Yes, Master."

However, Chen Ping's mind and soul were still awake.

He was not flustered, afraid, or desperate, but secretly sneered, his killing intent thick.

After the incident with Mu Xingling, Chen Ping knew that the small bead passed down from his ancestors was not just a simple inheritance of elixirs, but could also protect his bloodline and soul, with great power.

"Seize it, continue to seize it."

Chen Ping watched coldly. Although Li Jizong's failure to die and his attempt to seize his body surprised him and exceeded his expectations.

But Chen Ping was not afraid at all.

Soon, Li Jizong's soul invaded Chen Ping's body, and the soul also appeared and entered Chen Ping's spiritual platform. This was the last step of body seizing.

As long as Chen Ping's spiritual platform was refined, Li Jizong would successfully seize the body.

The vast soul power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was very powerful.

Just when Li Jizong was successfully seizing the body, the soul on his spiritual platform suddenly screamed: "Ah!"

"How is this possible!"

"This is a power that surpasses... everything..."

The small bead hanging on Chen Ping's neck suddenly turned fiery red, and along Chen Ping's bloodline, it sucked Li Jizong's soul into it.

Chen Ping's face became more solemn than ever before:

"The next step is the key!"

"Ah!!!" Chen Ping screamed. Li Jizong's soul power poured into Chen Ping's body, and Chen Ping needed to refine it.
