Mortal Alchemy

In theory, after the dissolution of Jiazi Academy, it should have been difficult for these individuals to meet again in their lifetimes. The promises of keeping in touch made during those drinking sessions had proven to be empty words over the past two years.

Now, driven by the pursuit of resources, Mu Luofei had taken the lead in reuniting the members of Jiazi Academy.

This was also a good thing for Chen Ping, as he too was in need of resources and information about the world of cultivation.

Mu Luofei smiled gracefully and said, "Very well, I will set a date after I have contacted the other junior brothers."

"There is also another matter, Junior Brother Chen. If any of your disciples from the Pill Hall are willing to sell Qi-Enhancing Pills, I can purchase them at a price of eighty-five spirit sand."

"Similarly, you can purchase them from me at a price of ninety spirit sand."

Earn five spirit sand?

Chen Ping was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"It seems that the Pill Hall's unspoken rules cannot be hidden from you, Senior Sister. No problem, I will arrange this for you later."

Such large stores like Wanbao Pavilion sell them for one spirit stone per bottle, while Chen Ping previously sold them at a price of ninety spirit sand at his stall.

However, the Mu family lacks its own market or trading location, forcing them to go to White Sand Market, which is four hundred miles away round trip. This not only consumes time and energy but also incurs additional costs, such as operating gourds or flying swords.

Only the Pill Hall dares to do such a thing. Which of the other departments would dare to privately resell?

Chen Ping no longer cared about the small profit from Qi-Enhancing Pills, considering it a waste of his time and a delay to his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

But Mu Luofei was extremely attentive to this matter: "If you succeed in this, Junior Brother, I will treat you to a drink."

Chen Ping nodded: "No problem, but I can't guarantee success, Senior Sister. If someone agrees, I will introduce them to you."

He didn't want to waste his time on such matters, so he simply let Mu Luofei handle the connections herself.

Mu Luofei's heart felt a subtle sensation, sensing that Chen Ping had become somewhat unfamiliar and composed. Her beautiful eyes flickered, as if containing starlight, as she looked at Chen Ping, as if re-recognizing and assessing him.

In this matter, Chen Ping could have acted as a middleman, skimming some profit, but he didn't want it.

An inexplicable emotion welled up in Mu Luofei's heart, and she slowly rose, her jade hands slightly clasped: "Then I won't be polite and will accept this favor from you, Junior Brother."

The profit from being a middleman wasn't much, but each bottle of Qi-Enhancing Pills was worth at least a few spirit sand. Over the years, it would amount to a considerable amount of resources.

Chen Ping also stood up to return the greeting, revealing a calm smile: "You're too kind, Senior Sister."

Mu Luofei smiled softly and then left to contact the other members of Jiazi Academy.

Chen Ping sipped his tea: "This matter will require the help of Senior Brother Xu. He knows more people than I do and is more enthusiastic about accumulating resources."

"Such mutual assistance will save energy and time, and he should be willing."

Chen Ping immediately got up to look for Xu Fengshan, but he didn't find him in his courtyard. He found him in the alchemy room.

Xu Fengshan opened the restrictions on his alchemy room and let Chen Ping in. His face was pale and weak as he was refining Qi-Enhancing Pills, saying weakly:

"Junior Brother Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Ping relayed the matter once.

Xu Fengshan's eyes lit up: "Eighty-five spirit sand, that's a good price. I'll take care of this matter for you."

It was convenient to sell Qi-Enhancing Pills for spirit stones, and he could also use this opportunity to make the other alchemy disciples owe him a favor. In the future, his descendants could use these favors to enter the Mu family, making their path to immortality smoother.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Ping would entrust this matter to him. Good, good, he was indeed the junior brother he had personally mentored.

Looking at Chen Ping, he found him more pleasing to the eye.

The ways of the world are just like this.
