During my practice that day, my neighbor from next door came to visit me.
I brought a big bag of spiritual fruits.
My neighbor's name is Bian Liang.
The monks in the early stages of establishing the foundation of the outer sect claimed that they moved here to live alone because they did not like some of the things that the fellow monks from their original sect did when they gathered together.
He moved into the house that was originally Xia Houfeng's. That house had been taken back by the Lingxiao Sect because of Xia Houfeng's long-term disappearance.
"I'm here for the first time, so I thought I'd come over to visit Fellow Daoist Chen. If I'm intruding, I'd like to apologize to Fellow Daoist Chen." Bian Liang was polite.
Chen Ping bowed his hands and returned the gift:
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Bian. We are neighbors, so there is no need to disturb us. Nowadays, the world is in a state of unrest, so neighbors just have someone to take care of them."
"That's right, that's right." Bian Liang said with a smile:
"We'll see you more often in the future."
During this period, there were a lot of changes in the neighborhood, including moving in and out. Many people, Chen Ping, only had a general impression and had very little communication, let alone a lot of familiarity.
The same goes for Bian Liang.
I have met before, but have basically never communicated with each other.
The two chatted for a few words, Bian Liang stood up and left, while Chen Ping continued to practice in the cave.
His current level has reached 'Foundation Building (Fifth Level): 57/100. ,
This kind of spiritual practice life that adds a little bit every few days makes him feel extremely fulfilled.
'Go on and strive for the sixth floor as soon as possible. ,
...
"Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this hare?"
In the market, Chen Ping squatted in front of a stall, looking at a nest of plump hares.
"Two low-grade spiritual stones and one, fellow Taoist, do you want it? A large cage has been sold out before, and these three are the only ones left. Look, they are very plump." The stall owner mentioned a rabbit to Chen while making an offer. Look flat.
Chen Ping understood and couldn't help but sigh:
"That's two low-grade spiritual stones."
Although this ordinary beast contains very little spiritual energy, it has always been traded in gold and silver in the past.
It's an inferior ingredient.
I never thought that I need to use spiritual stones to buy it now.
Chen Ping just sighed to himself, but the stall owner still believed that Chen Ping was talking to him, complaining that it was too expensive.
So he spoke out:
"Two low-grade spiritual stones are really not expensive. Taoist friends also know that the Qingyun Territory is only a few thousand miles in radius. We have been trapped in the Qingyun Territory for so many years. There are many foundation-building monks and they are very destructive, and we are already short of food. "
"Where are there any monsters in the forest? They have all been hunted down long ago. Although such hares are ordinary beasts, they still contain a certain amount of spiritual energy. They are also a good food for us monks to improve their physique. A low-grade spiritual stone is really not expensive."
Are hares used as spiritual materials to improve physical fitness?
Chen Ping laughed dumbly.
But he didn't say anything more. Nowadays, the air is full of demonic energy, which has a great impact on the body of righteous monks. Spiritual rice and monster meat are spiritual materials that can stabilize the body from being corroded. Even foundation-building monks who have gone without food will choose Eat spiritual materials on time to alleviate the effects of evil energy.
Hare...maybe...better than nothing.
Chen Ping said calmly:
"Okay, give me all three."
After paying the money, Chen Ping returned to the house carrying the three rabbits.
After arriving at the house, he went straight back to the Lingmai Cave, then took out the antidote pill he had obtained from Xia Houfeng and fed it to one of the hares.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the hare was still alive and kicking.
'Well, not poison. ,
Then he took out another Wan Xiang Dan, mixed half of it into the water, gave one of the rabbits to drink half the bowl, and immediately gave it half of the Antidote Pill.
Staring at the hare, he counted the seconds in his mind: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
It's enough time to smell the fragrance.
During this period, the hare seemed to be in pain for a moment.
, screamed miserably, and lay motionless on the ground, but then became active again.
'It's really a detoxifying pill. ,
'That's easy. ,
Chen Ping smiled knowingly and put the elixir back into the storage bag, knowing it in his heart.
...
'Hi~,
'He actually took over his body. ,
Chen Ping put down Jiuyou Colorful Cicada with lingering fear.
Even watching the video, my heart still couldn't help but beat fast.
After knowing that Mo Zhixi was Yingluo's inner beauty, Chen Ping asked Jiuyou Colorful Cicada to monitor Mo Zhixi's Taoist monk Leng Yueming for a long time.
In order to discover the actions of the demon cultivator behind it.
After a long period of surveillance, Chen Ping discovered that Mo Zhixi really didn't know the characteristics of his inner charm, and his Taoist companion Leng Yueming also didn't know about Yingluo's inner charm.
Leng Yueming is handsome and talented.
He is a first-level casual cultivator, but his talent seems to be pretty good. With not many resources, he is already at the third level of foundation building.
His age is said to be around seventy or eighty years old.
It can be said that he is young and promising.
Regrettably.
Leng Yueming was lured out of the city by a demonic cultivator last night, and was successfully captured by a mid-stage foundation-building demonic cultivator in the wasteland west of the city.
By the time Chen Ping sympathized with Jiuyou Colorful Cicada this morning, Leng Yueming was no longer the same Leng Yueming, but a proper demon cultivator.
This new Leng Yueming still lives in the original owner's house and does the original owner's business.
Everything is business as usual.
No one noticed anything unusual.
Chen Ping watched the process of seizing the body again.
I couldn't help but feel scared for a while.
The so-called body seizing is to use a specific magical weapon to lock the original owner's body after subduing it, and use secret techniques to forcibly extract the original owner's soul and annihilate it completely, and then activate the body seizing array to use the body seizing method. Give up the Dharma, abandon your decaying body, and inject your soul into the more perfect body of the original owner.
Then realize the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
During this process, when the original owner was subdued, his consciousness was very clear, and he would experience the endless fear in the process of seizing the body, but he was unable to do anything.
'What a cruel method! ,
These damn demon cultivators.
Keep monitoring.
Report it when the leader comes out!
...
night.
afterwards.
Yu Lingchun lay in Chen Ping's arms, her big eyes slightly closed.
For her, dealing with Chen Ping, who was becoming more and more successful in physical training, was a bit too much exercise.
These days, whenever she saw Chen Ping and Yun Haitang discussing profound spiritual issues, or discussing how to deal with the current complex situation, but she herself had no chance to intervene, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
This had never happened before Yun Haitang's arrival.
Only then did she realize that it was not that Chen Ping had not encountered difficulties or dangerous situations before, he was just worried about her, and because she could not help, he always reported good things but not bad things.
Now she feels the gap in cultivation.
I feel a little down, which is not a good feeling.
This also made her work extremely hard every time when doing bed work, trying her best, but she was too tired to move at the end of each time.
"Husband..." Yu Lingchun whispered.
"Yeah." Chen Ping hugged her and saw her raising her head slightly, looking like she was hesitant to speak, and said softly:
"What's wrong?"
Yu Lingchun’s voice was as thin as a mosquito:
"Husband, am I burdening you?"
Chen Ping smiled dumbly and patted her smooth back:
"You and I are husband and wife, so naturally we should share the joys and sorrows. So what's not to be a drag on? Don't say such words again in the future."
He smoothed her black hair and said:
"Don't think too much.
Practice hard and strive for the eighth or ninth level as soon as possible. After the ninth level, I will get the most resources to help you succeed in building the foundation. At that point, you can do more. "
Not just talk.
Chen Ping did think so.
Provide the best spiritual land, enough foundation-building pills, and teach her proficient pure spiritual skills to help her gain early understanding and successfully build the foundation.
"Um."
Yu Lingchun said seriously, thinking that one day she could build a foundation, she became full of energy again.
"Are you alive again?" Chen Ping said with a smile.
"I'm alive." Yu Lingchun smiled, revealing neat white teeth and red lips with an attractive luster.
"Haha, right. Let's do it again."
Chen Ping smiled, turned over and pressed over.
"...Don't, don't..."
...
The next day.
Chen Ping took a breath, glanced in the direction of the Lingxiao Sect Affairs Office, and decided to go out.
He went straight to the head meeting hall and saw Ning Xiaoqi again.
Ning Xiaoqi is the only direct disciple of the leader. He has a high status in Lingxiao Sect and can even give orders on behalf of the leader in many cases.
Especially during the head retreat, she led this group of disciples to handle large and small affairs within the sect.
"Can I meet the leader?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Ping said.
Ning Xiaoqi regretted:
"I'm afraid it won't work. This time, the leader was seriously injured, and he is still unable to come out of seclusion. This time, the demon cultivator took the initiative to attack, even if he hurt himself, he still wanted to drag the two leaders into the water. I'm afraid that I have a premeditated plan to make Luoyue City lose control."
More than just losing control.
The demon cultivator has a bigger plan.
Chen Ping expressed his understanding:
"On the day when the master comes out of seclusion, please be sure to inform me, fellow Daoist Ning, and I will come to visit the master at that time to discuss important matters."
After hearing this, Ning Xiaoqi said curiously:
"Can you tell me what it is?"
"It's related to the predicament of Qingyun Domain." Chen Ping didn't hide it, but he didn't go into too much detail either.
It's not that he can't trust Ning Xiaoqi.
But before the leader comes out, it is useless to say more. Although Ning Xiaoqi is a genius in cultivation, he is still young and his cultivation level is not as high as his.
Hearing this, Ning Xiaoqi suddenly became serious.
She nodded solemnly and said calmly:
"Well, remember, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"By the way, do you know of any way to make others look like your soul is getting weaker and weaker? But you can't really hurt the soul." Before leaving, Chen Ping asked casually.
"Similar to the breath-holding technique?" Ning Xiaoqi was puzzled.
"Roughly the same."
Somewhat similar, but not exactly the same.
The breath-containing technique is to converge the breath and hide the cultivation level. What Chen Ping mentioned was to make himself look weak.
Ning Xiaoqi frowned slightly, lowered her head slightly and thought for a moment, then shook her head:
"I seem to have heard of it before, but I can't remember it for a while. I'll check it out for you and let you know when I have more news."
She didn't ask Chen Ping what he used it for. In the world of spiritual practice, everyone has their own secrets and trump cards. Those who are not exposed are called trump cards. There is nothing to ask.
Chen Ping quickly thanked:
"We have fellow Taoist Lao Ning."
"..."
Chen Ping returned to the house from the leader's meeting hall and continued to practice in the house.
He just mentioned it casually, not expecting Ning Xiaoqi to really know about the weakening of the soul. However, what he didn't expect was that Ning Xiaoqi came to the door in person the next day.
Brought a bunch of pills:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this elixir is called Yu Nie Dan. It can achieve the effect you mentioned. After taking it, it can cover the soul and make people look weak. It's just that all elixirs now have to use spiritual materials.
It can be redeemed, but I don’t have permission to make too many calls. Have you seen enough of these? "
"That's enough, that's enough." Chen Ping looked at the dozens of bottles of pills:
"Ten bottles are enough for me. How many spiritual materials do you want? I will pay for it. Thank you so much, fellow Daoist Ning, for this time. I will keep it in my heart for your help."
"Are you still paying for it?" Ning Xiaoqi smiled:
"You pick so much spiritual material every time you travel, which is just enough to meet the requirements of the mission. Let's talk about it later."
Ah this...
I have a yard.
Now that Ning Xiaoqi said so, Chen Ping didn't delay any more.
It is better to obey orders than to be respectful.
The kindness of helping others will be repaid one day.
...
Time flies by like a flash, and a few months pass in the blink of an eye.
The walls of the Lingmai Cave were accidentally damaged countless times by Chen Ping's spells and repaired countless times. They were covered with traces of time.
Chen Ping's sweat was also recorded.
early morning.
When Chen Ping went out to the yard, his neighbor Bian Liang happened to be venturing in the yard.
When Bian Liang saw Chen Ping coming out, he smiled and said hello:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, in this season of heavy snow, there are few monks traveling, but it may be a good time to look for monsters. Are you interested in going out together, Daoist Chen?"
Hearing this, Chen Ping's heart froze.
…Finally, it’s coming.
Over the years, Qingyun Territory has been over-harvested with medicinal materials and hunted animals. Not only has the medicinal ecology been severely damaged in the surrounding forests, but the monsters and beasts have also been driven away.
Don't talk about the second-order monsters.
Even first-level monsters are extremely difficult to find.
Qingyun Domain is still too small after all.
Supplies for survival are becoming increasingly scarce, and monster meat has become extremely precious. It is already more than five or six times more expensive than two years ago. Even so, it is basically priceless.
Under such circumstances, the foundation-building monks tried their best to hunt beasts and things happened from time to time.
But that's not what Chen Ping is paying attention to at the moment.
He couldn't finish eating the monster meat in ten years.
He glanced at Bian Liang calmly, then smiled and said:
"That's great. Food is scarce now. Let's take advantage of the heavy snow to go out and look for it. Maybe it's not impossible to find a monster."
"That's exactly what I mean." Bian Liang smiled:
"When is the right time to go out, Fellow Daoist Chen? I'm alone, so I can do it anytime."
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. How about we meet at the city gate in half an hour? We can make some preparations later." Chen Ping suggested.
Bian Liang had no intention of refusing:
"Okay. Then meet at the city gate."
After the two people discussed it, they immediately went back to their houses to make preparations.
Chen Ping looked at the vast white area outside, covered in silver, as if the world was pure and innocent, but he knew that when the snow melted, the filth under the snow would completely reappear.
The filthiness of this world has never changed.
He sighed softly, and then his eyes became fierce.
'Since you are coming, then come. ,
'The grievances of the past twenty years are settled today. ,
