After everything was ready, Chen Ping seldom went out and stayed in the house to concentrate on practicing.
Time flies, autumn passes and winter comes.
Chen Ping got up early in the morning, opened the door and saw that the entire Luoyue City was covered in silver, with snow everywhere.
The cold wind was biting, blowing through the houses and trees, making a terrifying whistling sound.
Heavy snowflakes are flying in the sky.
The visibility in the air has dropped a lot.
'Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. I don’t know if the situation will improve next year after this heavy snowfall. ,
Chen Ping tightened his robe.
He has not experienced hot summer or cold winter for many years. These years in Yunzhong City have been spent in a formation that feels like spring all year round.
Such a cold winter has no effect on him who is building a foundation. Coupled with the body refining, his physical fitness is already amazing.
But those monks in the Qi training period are different from ordinary people.
Need to withstand extreme weather.
What's even more cruel is that after more than half a year of consumption, Luoyue City's spiritual rice and other food stocks have been almost exhausted.
After losing the protection of the formation, the spiritual rice grown in the Qingyun Domain itself changed from season to season, and the mortal labor force was greatly reduced. The surrounding working environment became increasingly worse, and the demonic energy also had a significant impact. Due to the superposition of multiple factors, the output of spiritual rice has dropped significantly.
Output began to be less than consumption.
'Winter is coming, and it becomes more difficult to go hunting for animals. Many monks are afraid that they will have to spend a hard winter. ,
'I just hope that the demonic cultivation will be solved as soon as possible and a peaceful cultivation environment can be restored in the world. , Chen Ping sighed secretly.
Chen Ping returned to the house, but as soon as he sat down to rest for a while, he heard another knock on the door outside.
Turn on the formation and go out.
The visitor was a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect’s Affairs Hall. After seeing Chen Ping, he bowed respectfully:
"Senior Chen, I am here to inform you. The sect will teach all the guests and disciples the techniques of picking medicinal materials and spiritual treasures in ten days. The elder requires all the foundation-building guests and disciples to participate. I hope that Senior Chen will know this."
Teach herb picking skills?
And it’s still a required course?
Chen Ping was slightly startled:
"Why do you suddenly want to teach us herb picking skills? Does the sect have any plans to arrange for us to go out to search for medicinal herbs?"
The young disciple handed over a booklet:
"Junior doesn't know. I just passed on the message otherwise. Senior Chen, this is a booklet on matters related to the teaching, please keep it."
Chen Ping took the booklet, opened it and read it.
They are all about the address, time, personnel requirements and other precautions and process arrangements for this teaching.
The reason for the assignment was not mentioned.
After Chen Ping waited for the Lingxiao Sect disciples to leave, he decided to visit Yun Haitang and inquire about the recent news about the Lingxiao Sect.
Unfortunately, Yun Haitang went out.
Chen Ping turned around and went to Ji Yan's house.
Knocking on the door, Ji Yan's voice came from inside:
"Who is it? I'm busy right now. It's inconvenient to see guests. Fellow Taoist, please go back."
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Why are you rejecting guests before you even meet them?
However, since Ji Yan didn't see the guests, he had no choice but to say goodbye:
"It's me, Chen Ping. But since it's inconvenient for Fellow Daoist Ji, I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Ji."
"Chen...Fellow Daoist Chen, wait."
There was a sound of footsteps and the door creaked open.
What came into view was a pale, bloodless face, with bloodshot eyes, a slightly stooped waist, and a feeling of exhaustion.
It looks like overindulgence.
"Ku~"
Chen Ping held back his laughter and said seriously:
"Fellow Daoist Ji, what's going on?"
"...Hey. Fellow Daoist Chen came in and said something." Ji Yan had no choice but to reveal his embarrassment and his eyes averted.
Wait until you sit down in the living room
, Ji Yancai explained.
It turns out that a few days ago.
Seeing that there was no possibility of breaking through the fog formation, Ji Yan became more and more anxious. Knowing that he didn't have many awakening pills, and he didn't know how long it would take to find a chance of survival in the future, he changed it to two days. A refreshing pill.
I would rather advance slowly in my cultivation.
We can't let the Awakening Pill be completely cut off one day in the future.
But even so, I still feel it’s not safe.
So he came up with the idea of going to the market to buy some awakening pills.
After squatting for a few days, I finally bought a bottle at a high price.
As a result, he was targeted as soon as he came out of the market.
The opponent not only used ordinary spell attacks, but also used soul attack spells. Ji Yan immediately resorted to life-saving measures and rushed back to the downtown area of Fangshi, where he managed to save his life.
"This calamity cultivator has changed his appearance, so I can't tell who it is. But he is probably at the sixth or even seventh level of foundation building. Alas, this world is really unsettled. There are seven or eight sect cultivators in Luoyue City at the moment. It’s really too chaotic to have everyone’s defenses and plans." Ji Yan said helplessly.
Chen Ping couldn't help laughing.
well.
How do I say hello?
I originally told you about the devil's intention in advance just to make it easier for you to collect the Awakening Pill first.
As a result, if we didn’t make great efforts in advance, we would just join in the fun at this time.
Can you avoid being robbed?
Chen Ping sometimes even suspected that some of the monks in the market who presented excellent conditions and held up signs asking for the Awakening Pill were just fishing for law enforcement.
Therefore, after the incident of the demonic intention spread, Chen Ping never bought or sold Awakening Pills in the market.
Chen Ping cleared his throat:
"Nowadays, all Awakening Pills in the market are priced but not commercially available. It is better to go there less to find Awakening Pills. However, if Jie Xiu is really at the sixth or seventh level of foundation building, you will be considered lucky."
"That's right. I made a decisive decision and gave up the Awakening Pill, so I saved my life. Otherwise, my life would have been lost." Ji Yan still has lingering fears when talking about it.
Slap your thighs until they make a snapping sound:
"I was suppressed by the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator in Yunzhong City, which severely damaged my vitality. It took me more than half a year to adjust my breath and come back. It's only been a few days, and I never thought that this would happen again. Alas. It will take more than half a year."
Chen Ping:......
Chen Ping has received professional training and naturally cannot laugh.
He turned his head and took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then continued to comfort Ji Yan.
…I have spent more than a year recovering from my injuries. Those who progress quickly can achieve half a level of cultivation.
"I made some inquiries a few days ago. It's not just me who has been robbed recently. There are also many other monks who have been robbed. This is especially true for those Qi-training monks who have just received the Awakening Pill from the sect. I suspect that the robberies are due to Many of my people have done this." Ji Yan was afraid.
Being a habitual offender means having a lot of experience.
It means the risk factor is high.
Chen Ping couldn't help but increase his vigilance.
Once again, he firmly decided not to go to Fangshi to spy on the Awakening Pill.
"By the way, a disciple of the sect told me today that he will go to receive medicine collection and instruction in ten days. Has Fellow Daoist Ji heard about this?"
After communicating for a while, Chen Ping asked, not forgetting the purpose of his trip.
Ji Yan coughed:
"Yes. You have informed me. I heard that it is getting harder and harder to find medicinal materials in the wild. You need to go deep into the depths of the forest to have a chance. However, due to the influence of the great formation, the deeper you go, the stronger the miasma becomes. The Qi Practitioner has already There is no ability to survive in such an environment. I heard that in recent times, the sect has been unable to recruit casual cultivators who are willing to go out to collect medicine."
Chen Ping asked quickly:
"So, the sect wants me to go out to collect herbs while Establishing the Foundation?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Ji Yan nodded:
"After all, the refining of the Awakening Pill cannot be stopped. But I don't know what the sect's rules are yet."
Chen Ping understood.
Since casual cultivators cannot be recruited, and the Qi-training cultivators have also lost the ability to collect medicine, foundation building will most likely have to be done
.
After all, Luoyue City now has more than two hundred foundations, which is definitely a lot.
I don't know what the sect's rules are. If it is necessary to perform my duties, then as a guest, I have nothing to say. But if it is voluntary, Chen Ping will not go even if he is beaten to death.
No matter how high the reward is.
