Mortal Alchemy

After a joyous time with Nan Yun, Chen Ping left Shattered Star Market and headed to Dingfeng Island and Wangling Island to check on his two medicine gardens.

Before leaving, Chen Ping instructed Nan Yun to close Haiyao Hall, temporarily change its appearance, and go into hiding.

To dig up the roots of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, it was better to lie dormant beneath the surface.

She was to look for him again when there was progress in gathering information about the Immortal Merchant Guild.

In any case, Nan Yun had ways to find him.

None of the dozens of second-order spiritual plants in the underground medicine garden had advanced to the third order.

But their own medicinal power was extremely rich, which made Chen Ping feel strange.

"With such rich medicinal power, in theory, it should have exceeded the scope of the second order and advanced towards the third order."

"But it is firmly suppressed in the second order…"

"But the Zisha tea tree has advanced to the third order."

"Could it be…"

Chen Ping took away all the spiritual plants on Dingfeng Island, destroyed the evidence, and removed the formation.

Then, without stopping, he went to Wangling Island.

Arriving three thousand feet underground, he looked at the medicine garden.

"As expected…"

Except for the Zisha tea tree, which was of the third order, the rest of the spiritual plants were also trapped in the second order, with medicinal power so rich that it exceeded four hundred years, but they could not advance to the third order spiritual plant.

It should be known that Chen Ping used the spiritual planter's method to catalyze each spiritual plant.

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Ordinary spiritual soil can nurture spiritual plants and enable them to advance."

"But planting medicine in spiritual veins can quickly catalyze medicinal power, but it cannot enable spiritual plants to advance."

"There must be some kind of secret involved here."

"And if I want all these spiritual plants to advance to the third order, I can only cultivate them in a place with spiritual soil."

"After advancing to the third order, I will put them back in the spiritual veins to plant and quickly catalyze the results of medicinal power."

Had he known this, Chen Ping would have taken these spiritual plants back and placed them in Dongyue Mountain. Now, after more than ten years, perhaps some of the spiritual plants have already advanced to the third order.

But the world of cultivation was vast, and how could Chen Ping know such secrets?

He could only rely on accumulating his own experience.

"Let Junior Brother Fang and the others make a trip and bring all these spiritual plants back to the Dongyue Mountain dojo for cultivation."

Chen Ping took a look. There were more than sixty second-order spiritual plants, and only one third-order spiritual plant, the Zisha tea tree.

Chen Ping picked a leaf from the Zisha tea tree and swallowed it: "Refreshing and invigorating, the medicinal power is sufficient, and it can become the main material for the third-order Crystal Essence Pill…"

"However, it still needs to be matched with other third-order spiritual medicines to refine the Crystal Essence Pill."

"Otherwise, this Zisha tea tree can only be used as a recovery product to quickly restore spiritual power on weekdays."

The main material of the third-order Crystal Essence Pill requires a third-order spiritual medicine, and the medicinal power is sufficient, and it can still have a little bit of the power to enhance the power of the divine soul.

The Zisha tea tree just meets the requirements.

"In the past few decades, I have only searched for second-order spiritual islands on the edge of the spiritual tide. I have not yet been to the real front line, where there should be third-order and even fourth-order spiritual islands."

Those third-order and fourth-order spiritual islands were places that only Golden Core cultivators could set foot in, and Foundation Establishment cultivators did not dare to approach them.

Golden Core cultivators eat meat, Foundation Establishment cultivators drink soup behind them, and as for Qi Refining, it is good to be able to pick up scraps.

"These forces have been rooted in Haoyu Sea for hundreds of thousands of years, and their foundations are unknown how deep."

Thinking of the rich foundations of the major forces, Chen Ping could not help but feel excited.

These major Golden Core forces have been standing in Haoyu Sea for hundreds of years without falling. The third-order foundation is indispensable, and it must be ensured that Golden Core cultivators are born from generation to generation.

Otherwise, after three or four hundred years, the Golden Core cultivator would die, become a second-order force, and would have been eliminated long ago.

Chen Ping destroyed the medicine garden on Wangyue Island, but did not leave immediately, but stayed here, using the third-order Zisha tea leaves as the main ingredient, deducing and modifying the third-order Crystal Essence Pill recipe, while swallowing the Crystal Essence Pills given by the sect to cultivate.

A hundred-year-old Crystal Essence Pill is worth twenty middle-grade spiritual stones.

The pill is crystal clear, the medicinal power is like porridge, dense and viscous, which is to concentrate the medicinal power to the extreme before it can be transformed into the pill crystal cultivation required by the Golden Core cultivator.

The Eastern Xuanzong has more than a dozen third-order alchemists, who have to work hard to refine pills for the sect.

And Chen Ping heard that the vast Eastern Region cultivation world actually only has two fourth-order alchemists, and they are all loose cultivators, which surprised Chen Ping.

But thinking about it carefully, there are hidden Heavenly Venerable Sect relics in places like Dongyue Mountain, which means that before the Immortal Sect allowed the four major sects to descend into the Eastern Region cultivation world, the Eastern Region cultivation world already had cultivation forces, leaving behind inheritance. After thousands of years, it is not surprising that there are always lucky people who get the inheritance.

When he advances to the Nascent Soul, there will be three fourth-order alchemists in the Eastern Region cultivation world, and that day will not be far away.

Chen Ping was deducing the pill recipe when suddenly one day, above Wangling Island, there were intense spiritual power fluctuations.

He appeared and scanned with his divine sense, and within two thousand feet, there was a white jade flying boat fleeing in a hurry, followed by Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sea God Sect.

On the deck of the white jade flying boat stood a beautiful female cultivator, the key is, this woman is pregnant, her face is pale, her head is full of sweat, and she is fleeing in panic.

When this woman saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator standing on the bare island below, and from the appearance of the Daoist robe, it was a loose cultivator.

After all, people from the major forces have to wear the uniform Daoist robes of the force when they go out.

This woman was like seeing the last straw, flying towards Chen Ping:

"Fellow Daoist, I am Deng Xuan, the wife of the young master of the Immortal Merchant Guild! Now I am being chased and killed by the evil cultivators of the Sea God Sect. I hope that Fellow Daoist will take action to save me. In the future, the Immortal Merchant Guild will definitely repay Fellow Daoist ten times a hundred times!"

"The wife of the young master of the Immortal Merchant Guild?" Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Interesting."

He was worried about how to get into the Immortal Merchant Guild.

Unexpectedly, someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy.

Chen Ping immediately soared into the sky: "Madam Deng, don't be afraid, I will come to help you and defeat the evil cultivators!"

Chen Ping took out the second-order magic weapon sword that Mu Luofei had refined for him back then, and used the Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

Chen Ping's sword may not be very powerful, but it can barely stop the Sea God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator chasing from behind.

But in the Haoyu Sea, which has a low foundation, Chen Ping's sword is already remarkable.

The Sea God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator who was chasing from behind immediately stopped his pace, his face gloomy: "Your Excellency, don't listen to this woman's nonsense!"

"It was her husband who paid us to kill her! If you save her like this, not only will you not enjoy the Immortal Merchant Guild's gratitude, but you will also offend the Immortal Merchant Guild!"

Deng Xuan scolded in a delicate voice: "Nonsense, my husband and I are childhood sweethearts and are extremely loving. How could he let the Sea God Sect harm me?"

"Hehehe." The Sea God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator: "It is precisely because of love that he can't do it himself, so he pays our Sea God Sect to do it."

"Once you die, your husband can turn around and marry the eldest lady of the Qunxing Sect."

Deng Xuan's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth: "Nonsense, Fellow Daoist must not believe it. I am pregnant with my husband's only flesh and blood, he would never harm me."

Chen Ping laughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Deng, don't worry, since I have taken action to help, I will not defect, not to mention that the Sea God Sect's evil cultivators are notorious, how can I collude with him?"

"Jie Jie Jie." The Sea God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator showed a grim smile:

"If you don't appreciate the offer, then you can all die!"
