Yunzhong City VS Red Rock City.
Crane City VS Luoyue City.
Next, all parties introduced their respective monks.
"Huh? It is written in this register that there is a second-level foundation-building monk named Shi Chensheng from Red Rock City to fight?" Chen Ping was slightly stunned when he heard the names of the combatants in Red Rock City were announced.
Jing Hongping said softly:
"I heard about it when I came here today. It is said to be a temporary change. But I don't know the reason."
Jing Hongping is the one who is going to fight, always paying attention to changes in potential opponents.
Chen Ping did not pay so much attention.
But he was just curious, and none of this had anything to do with him.
He is just a mass eater.
During the second half of the banquet, many people left their seats and started chatting among themselves.
"Fellow Daoist Chen. In the following Ji Yan, I have heard for a long time that a new guest has arrived in Yunzhong City, and I have always wanted to visit Daoyou Chen. However, I live outside the city and have not been able to see him. I am really rude." They were chatting lively. , Ji Yan came over with a glass of wine.
Chen Ping quickly picked up the wine glass and returned the gift:
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Ji. I'm here for the first time, so I should go visit Fellow Daoist. Unfortunately, I haven't been to Lingxiao Sect, so I delayed my stay."
"..."
Perhaps it was because they had successfully entered the inner city from the foundation building of the city in the cloud city, and the two of them had something in common.
Ji Yan asked some questions about Chen Ping's past.
He also talked about his own past.
Although Ji Yan is nominally a guest of Yunzhong City.
But most of the time he was on duty in Lingxiao Sect, taking on the teaching duties of some outer disciples. He rarely went out of the mountain and lived in seclusion.
"I also want to ask for permission to return to Yunzhong City in a while. We and other casual cultivators may not be doing well in Lingxiao Sect. Every step is like walking on thin ice. Moreover, the good tasks have been taken away by others, and the remaining tasks are not It's very difficult, even with few resources, it's not easy." Ji Yan complained secretly.
Ji Yan's appearance is not too outstanding.
Coupled with the relative lack of resources as a casual cultivator, he did not build the foundation until he was in his seventies.
After more than 20 years of foundation building, he is still on the second level of foundation building.
Not too smooth.
"This competition between the Four Cauldrons, if Fellow Daoist Ji can win, he will gain a lot of resources, right?" Chen Ping said calmly, the competition is also a task.
In fact.
Whether the task is good or not, whether it is difficult or not, has little to do with Chen Ping.
He didn't care much about that.
Ji Yan pondered:
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to win. Although Fellow Daoist Yin from Red Rock City is on the second level of foundation building, he has mastered one of his magic skills to perfection. Alas, I can only blame me for being too arrogant at the beginning and taking up the secret of Qingmang Sword Technique as soon as I came up. technique."
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment:
"Is there something wrong with this spell?"
Ji Yan looked at Chen Ping with complicated eyes and said:
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen also practiced this secret technique?"
"Yes." Chen Ping didn't hide anything.
Hearing this, the muscles on Ji Yan's face seemed to relax a little, showing a relaxed expression. There was a sense of joy in his eyes, the joy of meeting someone of the same kind.
...It turns out I'm not the only one who is unlucky...Ji Yan felt that he was comforted.
But then he calmed down and realized that this was not good.
Ji Yan said seriously:
"Oh, that's such a shame."
"A few years ago, when I was training with a fellow Taoist in Lingxiao Sect, someone found out that I was practicing the Qingmang Sword Art. The fellow Taoist was shocked, so I asked curiously. I didn't know, but I was stunned when I asked. It turns out that this secret technique is extremely difficult, difficult to understand, and extremely difficult to master. Youdao was created by an immortal, but unfortunately the immortal died before he could perfect and simplify the secret technique."
"In Lingxiao Sect, almost no one is willing to practice. This is why Lingxiao Sect is willing to decentralize this powerful secret technique to major immortal cultivation cities, and it only requires three simple cards.
exchange. "
"Oh, what a pity."
"I had been hiding it before and didn't want to reveal it, but by the time I discovered it, it was already too late."
"Before this, I always thought that it was because I was not talented enough that I practiced so slowly. It turns out it has something to do with the secret technique itself."
This was the first time Chen Ping heard such a statement.
He himself was not very fast in practicing it at first. When he focused on conquering this spell, it took him more than five years to reach the master level.
If it were any other spell, I'm afraid it would have been perfected long ago.
At first I thought it was because the secret technique itself was difficult to practice.
I never thought there was such a thing.
But for him, although it is slower than other spells, he has not encountered any bottlenecks in his practice, and he is making progress every day at a slow pace.
It took him less than six years to reach the master level.
This speed would be shocking to other monks.
When Ji Yan saw Chen Ping thinking, he thought Chen Ping was upset. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Chen Ping, but on the other hand, he felt a sense of relief that "I am not alone."
After a pause, he said:
"Ever since I found out about this, I have been very upset. But I am not willing to give up. After all, I have been practicing for fifteen or sixteen years. Alas, now it seems that it is difficult to continue practicing. To be honest with you fellow Taoist, I can't do it until now. Summoned 96 sword lights. Alas, I'm afraid I have to bear the pain and give up my love, and practice another offensive secret technique."
96 sword lights, almost "proficient" level for beginners.
High-level spells or secret techniques are difficult to practice.
time consuming.
That's why.
A foundation-building monk usually only practices one or two offensive (defensive) secret techniques throughout his foundation-building career.
Seek refinement rather than excess.
It was a waste of more than ten years for someone like Ji Yan to learn other secret techniques halfway.
It is also a helpless move.
'Oh, this secret skill is indeed difficult. ,
Chen Ping counted his fingers and realized that he had been using it for nearly six years.
Six years of master status.
this…
…It’s just too slow.
Grandmaster for six years.
Alas, you should be careful when choosing secret techniques in the future.
too slow.
Chen Ping sighed in his heart.
…
After the banquet, return to the guest room of the mansion.
We can't use Foundation Wrath tonight.
When I first arrived, it was not safe to go to Chunlou to show off my anger.
A night of silence.
The next day.
The Four Tripods are held regularly.
The location is a dojo in Midtown. The dojo is very large and can accommodate thousands of people.
The dojo has been arranged in advance, with various equipment and protective formations.
Defense monks were standing in every corner.
In the middle of the dojo, there is a Shengxian platform with a radius of several hundred feet, shrouded in the formation.
That is the test bench.
Yunzhong City is the same as several other Immortal Cultivation Cities. There are twenty or thirty people in each Cultivation Cultivation City, sitting in four directions of the dojo.
In addition, thousands of inner-city disciples from Crane City and middle-city monks who had obtained their quotas in advance stood at specific locations, waiting with great excitement for the moment of the competition that only happens once in ten years.
Observe the actual practice of foundation building.
It is of good value to monks in the Qi training period.
Sometimes, perhaps a certain cultivation pass that has been difficult to master all year round can be enlightened after observing an actual combat.
Moments like this are extremely precious.
On a high platform in the dojo, an elder from the Lingxiao Sect was sitting. Today there was even a Jindan elder who came to the scene in person.
This made a group of casual cultivators very excited.
It was the first time for many people to see the real Jin Dan.
Or maybe this is the only chance in your life.
Chen Ping was also somewhat emotional.
"Chen Qian
Senior, Lingshan felt that one day Senior Chen would also be able to become a golden elixir monk. "At some point, Yun Lingshan stood next to Chen Ping. When she saw Chen Ping looking sideways at the Great Elder Jindan, she said softly.
Chen Ping glanced at her and smiled:
"I think so too."
"???" Yun Lingshan was stunned for a moment, feeling that she couldn't continue what she said.
He pursed his lips and smiled.
Shouldn't we be humble?
