The Path to Becoming Immortal

"I'll accept the storage bag. You can take the other elixirs by yourself. You should improve your cultivation first so that you can fulfill your dream. Sister Lingshi can also make money. Keep the more places you use the spirit stones for yourself. Your mission Just try your best to improve your cultivation." Shen Qingyao said silently, with an unquestionable meaning in his tone.

"Sister, I still have it, just take it and use it."

"Listen to me, otherwise I won't want anything from you." Shen Qingyao pushed the little guy away from her arms, looking angry.

"Hey, okay!" Ning Ping nodded helplessly.

Looking at the little boy in front of her, Shen Qingyao said with a doting smile: "It's not that I don't like these things, but I hope I can take the elixir you refined yourself one day sooner."

Ning Ping finally understood what Shen Qingyao was thinking this time. Being able to face endless temptations and still be able to do what the other person wants is what family is.

"Sister, don't worry, isn't it just to refine a pill? I will definitely get it."

"I believe you. Come and see your injury." When Shen Qingyao hugged Ning Ping just now, she had already noticed the abnormality in Ning Ping's shoulder, and she shook her head at the hasty way it was bandaged.

Shen Qingyao carefully helped Ning Ping reapply the medicine and bandage before finishing. Ning Ping also felt miraculously much better.

"Okay little one, I'll prepare some delicious food for you."

After a few days of calm, the small courtyard returned to its original joy and laughter.

Late at night, in the Yun Mansion, four strange and gray corpses were placed side by side in the law enforcement hall. Three of them were the three people killed by Ning Ping in the morning, and the other one was also Ning Ping's a few days ago. The bearded monk who was killed by Ping.

There were still two people standing in the room. They were the two people who had gathered during the day, the black-faced old man and Elder Ming. At this moment, they were looking solemnly at the corpses neatly arranged side by side at their feet.

"Elder Ming, what do you think about this matter?" The black-faced old man finally broke the silence.

"As expected, these four people all died at the hands of the same person, and this person has been dead for many days." Elder Ming pointed to one of the corpses and continued: "But all the corpses showed no signs of being eaten by monsters. , although according to you it is buried shallowly in the ground, it is extremely unusual. The monster's sense of smell is very sensitive. "

"Well, the implication of Elder Ming's words..."

"If there was only one person, I would wonder if someone failed to seize the body and died. But the body can only be taken once, and it cannot be as many as four times in a row. It should not be such a coincidence that I met four monks who took other people's bodies. Suspect……"

"Oh? If you have any doubts, please tell me!" The black-faced monk's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"This may have been caused by an evil cultivator's soul-draining. You see, even the monsters don't want to touch these corpses."

After hearing this, the black-faced monk nodded slightly in agreement: "It seems to be true. It seems that an evil cultivator has indeed appeared here. Humph! How brave you are to reach out to my Yun family."

"Come here, monitor the Monster Recovery Department. If you see anyone suspicious, please go to the Law Enforcement Hall of the City Lord's Mansion for questioning."

Then the black face looked gloomily at the night sky outside the door, as if he wanted to see who this person was at a glance.

Invisibly, Ning Ping was lucky enough to escape some unknown dangers.

The next day, a piece of news announced by the city lord's palace spread in Guangming City. A bloodthirsty and murderous evil cultivator appeared here, specializing in extracting other people's souls for training. All cultivators were reminded to act with caution. This evil cultivator was also discovered. Those who provide valid information in a timely manner will be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill by the City Lord's Mansion.

So under such a heavy reward, the entire Guangming City instantly became excited, and everyone began to look for this so-called evil cultivator. Of course, the more important thing was the legendary foundation-building pill that could make one reach the sky in one step.

But the person in charge, Ning Ping, had no idea at the moment. Shen Qingyao strictly ordered her to stay at home and recuperate, while she continued her busy work.

Until the afternoon, after a day of practice, there was a faint swelling and pain in the meridians. This time the practice was almost done. Although the power of the soul had not been restored, the energy of the whole body was restored to the same level as before. Ning Ping was bored and planned to go and have a look. The leasing of the alchemy room.

Ning Ping, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, was walking on the street. He always felt that something was different from usual. It was not until he walked into the square that he discovered some clues.

I saw many people gathered outside the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, as if they were watching this thing. Ning Ping's heart moved and he stepped forward to watch.

There is a notice on it, which refers to the occurrence of a soul-eating evil cultivator in the local area... and the surrounding voices of discussion can also be heard.

"I heard that Yun Xingyan, the youngest direct descendant of the Yun family, was killed while hunting monsters."

"No wonder there was such a notice today."

"Who says it's not the case? The number of direct descendants of the Yun family is pitiful. They have always been passed down by a single line. The youngest generation actually gave birth to three direct descendants, and one of them was killed."

"You said that Mr. Yun is the same. He doesn't want to be treated like a good man by the city lord's palace. He has to imitate the hard work like us and go out to fight for his life. You see, he still suffered such a misfortune. What are you asking for?"

"They call it a trial, so don't talk about it anymore, be careful what you say!"

…

Ning Ping was slightly startled, and he vaguely realized that this matter might have something to do with him. Later, when he heard that the surname of the city lord's mansion was Yun, he stepped away carefully to avoid others noticing anything unusual.

I didn't expect that I could be rewarded with a foundation-building pill just by providing my information, and this foundation-building pill was certainly something that I, who claimed to be an alchemist, had heard of. After the Qi Refining Stage, it is the Foundation-Building Stage. Although it is possible to break through the realm without this foundation-building pill, the chance is much smaller.

After the failure of the breakthrough, the difficulty of breaking through again rises sharply, and it can even be said that the possibility of foundation-building is cut off. Therefore, for the sake of their own cultivation, when they reach the breakthrough, they will basically try their best to raise a foundation-building pill for themselves to ensure the success of the breakthrough, so as not to cut off their own cultivation path.

After the success of the foundation-building, not only the cultivation level is greatly improved, but also the status soars. From the tasks announced by the Chamber of Commerce, we can see some clues. Many families and forces have hired foundation-building cultivators as elders with various titles for a long time.

It can be said that after the success of the foundation-building, life is very different. For this reason, Ning Ping even wanted to sell himself in exchange for the last one.

Ning Ping walked on the road in silence, thinking about things in his heart. After a while, he came to the destination of this trip, the alchemy room area in the northwest of the city. After a while, he understood the layout here.

That's right, all the refining areas in Guangming City are concentrated here, mainly for alchemy and weapon refining.

At a glance, thick smoke billows from time to time above this area, especially in the weapon refining room on the left, where clanging sounds can be heard from time to time, while the alchemy room on the right is much quieter.

The building marked with the refining room in front of us is the office that manages this area.
