Mortal Alchemy

He only had one encounter with Senior Brother Liu and wasn't familiar with him at all. Attending his funeral would not only require giving money but also delay his plans to sell spirit stones and purchase Qi Condensation pills.

The heavens and earth are vast, but improving cultivation is the greatest!

Xu Fengshan's pale face darkened, frustrated: "Junior Brother Chen, can't you be more mature!"

"Senior Brother Liu was from our lineage. Although he has fallen, the bond remains."

"We disciples struggle on the path of immortality, do you understand?"

Chen Ping was silent for a moment: "Senior Brother Xu... I understand."

Xu Fengshan's expression softened a lot, and he said: "Junior Brother, it's almost hopeless for people like us to achieve Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

When you get older and recognize reality, you will also marry and have children. We stick together to keep the path of immortality from being too rugged.

Usually, everyone is busy, and we only have the time and opportunity to gather together for this final farewell."

"Do you want your descendants to suffer the same hardships you have? Human relationships are very important."

"Uh..."

Chen Ping was speechless. What Xu Fengshan said made sense, but even if he achieved Foundation Establishment, wouldn't he still need to deal with human relationships?

The higher you go, the more important human relationships become.

Chen Ping cupped his hands and smiled: "Senior Brother is right, let's go, I will follow you, Senior Brother."

Xu Fengshan stroked his beard: "A promising student."

Xu Fengshan summoned his large palm-leaf fan and carried Chen Ping away from the Mu family.

Chen Ping asked: "Senior Brother Xu, how much should we give at the funeral?"

Xu Fengshan said: "A few dozen spirit stones are enough."

The disciples of the Pill Hall were extremely poor and struggling. Giving a few dozen spirit stones was already difficult and commendable.

Several hours later, they arrived at a village near the Mu family.

Among them, the largest house in the village was decorated in white, which was Senior Brother Liu's home.

Senior Brother Liu's descendants were kneeling to welcome guests at the door.

When Xu Fengshan and Chen Ping went inside, there were already several people there. Later, a few more people from the Pill Hall arrived.

Although the eyes of Xu Fengshan and others were slightly red, when they saw Senior Brother Liu's smiling face, they were not sad, but slightly happy.

Chen Ping was a little puzzled.

Xu Fengshan explained:

"Senior Brother Liu has been on the path of immortality for more than sixty years. Although he had no hope of Foundation Establishment, he has also established a family business. After working like a slave for the Mu family for sixty years, death is a kind of relief."

"Senior Brother Liu died with a smile, which means his wishes have been fulfilled. How easy is that?"

"His immortal aspirations will be continued by his descendants."

"Isn't this also a kind of immortality?"

Chen Ping's eyes were touched, and he thought of the alchemy inheritance left by his ancestors.

Xu Fengshan patted Chen Ping on the shoulder:

"We have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this life, but the path of immortality is not broken. Sooner or later, our descendants will achieve Foundation Establishment and see a wider world for us."

"Uh..." Chen Ping thought to himself, I will definitely achieve Foundation Establishment.

But the principles taught by Xu Fengshan were correct, so he treated people kindly and built good relationships. Although they were all the human relationships of the bottom class, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Until the immortal fire is ignited and Foundation Establishment is achieved.

As for Core Formation, he didn't dare to think about it.

...

After everyone arrived, Chen Ping and others stepped forward to offer incense.

Senior Brother Liu's descendants prepared a fine meal for them.

Late at night, several people drank alcohol, their faces flushed, seemingly trying to overcome the fear of death and face it as calmly as Senior Brother Liu did.

Chen Ping also heard a lot of news about the Mu family from them.

"The Mu family has a genius in the Qi Refining stage who has joined the Eastern Xuan Sect."

"There are also top geniuses from the Mu family who are about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
