On Xiaozhu Peak, Yun Lingshan was handing over the care of spiritual plants to Xiaocui, and Yun Haitang was also arranging daily affairs for Xiaohong and Xiaohong.
Chen Ping did not disturb them and went to the lake on the east side alone.
He took out the spirit beast bag and took out the two Muhong carp that were auctioned and the animal control booklet that came with the auction.
Like the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada and the Cloud-winged Bird, Mu Hongli is also a first-order spiritual beast and has little combat value.
The price is a bit more expensive than Jiuyou Colorful Cicada and Cloud-winged Bird.
Muhong carp has the value of improving water quality, breathing out spiritual energy, and increasing the extent to which water quality encapsulates spiritual energy.
Better universality.
And it is easy to feed, no need to feed.
Chen Ping first recognized the owner of Mu Hongli according to the instructions in the animal control book.
The process is not very complicated and is completed quickly.
[Mu Hongli. Beast Control (Introduction): 1/1000. 】
According to the book, as the proficiency in beast control increases, the empathy between Mu Hongli and its owner will gradually strengthen, reaching a state of tacit understanding.
Muhongli can then reversely perceive the owner's understanding of spiritual energy, as well as the owner's understanding and perception of purifying other objects, improving Muhongli's own ability to breathe out spiritual energy and purify water quality.
The lake water turned into rich spiritual water.
The rich spiritual water can feed back Xiaozhufeng in a positive way.
Chen Ping will spend many years in the future on Xiaozhu Peak.
If there was no more danger and he had enough aura, he would rather live in a corner here for the rest of his life.
In this case, it is necessary to slowly improve every plant and tree in Xiaozhufeng.
After identifying the owner, Chen Ping picked up the two Muhong carps with both hands and placed them on the water.
"Go!"
After recognizing her master, Mu Hongli could already understand her master's words and jumped down. He rolled twice in the lake, jumped out of the water, floated in the air, looked at Chen Ping, grinned ferociously, then turned around and plunged into the lake, disappearing.
Mu Hongli doesn't need to rush to gain proficiency, just do it slowly in her spare time.
Chen Ping stood up and saw a large protruding blue rock beside the lake. He thought about it and carved three powerful ancient Chinese characters on it - Xiaozhu Lake.
Quan should be the name of the lake.
Then Yu Jian lowered his hands and finally landed on the edge of the spiritual field at the foot of the mountainside.
Behind him is a row of disciple caves and houses.
Before leaving, the Lingxiao Sect was in a state of being in a state of exhaustion and waiting for improvement. Xiaozhu Peak had only repaired the practice platform at the top of the mountain. The Lingtian Medicine Fields below the mountainside were all in a state of neglect, and the row of disciple caves were also in an unrepaired state.
Now, everything has been renovated.
Even the weeds in the spiritual fields were pulled out, but no spiritual plants were planted.
"I asked people to clean up the spiritual fields and medicine fields. I don't know what your plan is, so I didn't plant spiritual rice rashly."
At some point, Yun Haitang appeared behind him. His words were as clear and sweet as the song of a bird. He walked over and stood side by side with Chen Ping.
"Why are you here?" Chen Ping withdrew one hand behind his back and held one of her warm little hands in his palm.
"I finished my work up there and didn't see you. I thought you might be looking around at Xiaozhu Peak, so I came here." Yun Haitang pursed her red lips:
"Now the situation is stabilizing. Judging from the news coming back from the Lingxiao Sect's patrols in Qingyun Domain, the demon cultivators have escaped. The monks from other domains are not interested in entering the poor Qingyun Domain. At this time, we are vigorously developing Time. Do you want to see what kind of spiritual materials you can plant?"
Chen Ping agreed with this.
I used to be a casual cultivator and could only survive in the cracks. It would be nice to have a house and an inner courtyard.
Now that the entire Xiaozhu Peak is my own, I naturally have to plan it carefully and not waste it.
Chen Ping looked at the dozens of acres of spiritual fields:
"Let's not plant spiritual rice for now. Plant all the 'Butterfly Soul Evening Primrose' to increase Xiaozhufeng's spiritual energy.
We’ll talk about the rest later. "
"Butterfly Moon Primrose?" Yun Haitang turned to look at Chen Ping, somewhat puzzled.
This is a spiritual plant that has the effect of gathering spirits. This spiritual plant is now planted in the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion.
But the spirit-gathering effect of this kind of spiritual plant is actually not excellent.
In other words, it can only be considered average among all the spirit-gathering spiritual plants.
The only advantage is that it is easy to feed.
Doesn't require much care.
Chen Ping turned to look at her beautiful face and surprised eyes, and smiled:
"The soul-gathering effect of butterfly spirit evening primrose is indeed average, but if it is irrigated with high-quality water, this grass will undergo a qualitative change, and the soul-gathering effect will be doubled or tripled at least, making it the leader."
There is a waterfall falling from the sky in the center of Tianyan City. Because of the waterfall, streams of various sizes are dotted throughout the city.
These streams contain relatively rich spiritual energy.
The Yuelai Inn where Chen Ping stayed on his first night was located on the upstream side of a stream. You could see the stream by opening the window.
At that time, Chen Ping saw Butterfly Evening Primrose planted on the edge of the stream, and it was different from the one on Xiaozhu Peak. It seemed to have mutated.
At that time, I didn’t quite understand it and didn’t pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until later that I got the jade slip from the second level herbalist. It records the knowledge of identifying and maintaining spiritual materials. Chen Ping accidentally saw Butterfly Evening Primrose.
Only then did I realize that water quality has a great impact on the quality of Butterfly Evening Primrose.
This doesn't seem to be a secret.
However, Butterfly Evening Primrose is not a rare spiritual material, and good water quality is not easy to obtain. Even in Tianyan City, this spiritual plant can only be found on the edge of the upstream stream near the central waterfall.
For a spirit planter, the effort to purify the water is not as good as cultivating some rare spirit-gathering plants.
But for Chen Ping, with Mu Hongli, he can reach the full level of proficiency without having to worry about water quality issues.
Moreover, Butterfly Evening Primrose is easy to grow and is the best choice for planting in large areas.
As for those high-end spirit gathering plants?
Difficult to raise.
Unless there are ten Yu Lingchuns.
"...I have released two Muhong carp in the mountain lake, which can just purify the water quality." Chen Ping added.
"That's it." After hearing what Chen Ping said, Yun Haitang suddenly realized that her understanding of spiritual plants was limited to management knowledge such as difficulty and value.
At this moment, his eyes were a little bright, and he said happily:
"That's very good. Butterfly Evening Primrose crops once a year, and you can harvest the fruit after it matures. After the fruit is delivered to the Lingxiao Sect, you can not only exchange it for spiritual stones, but you can also gain certain merits."
This kind of fruit cannot be exchanged for many spiritual stones because it is too common.
What Chen Ping likes is the spirit-gathering effect.
"In that case, should I arrange for monks to plant it?" Yun Haitang asked Chen Ping for his opinion.
Chen Ping nodded:
"It just so happens that these houses have been repaired and there are enough houses. It would be best to arrange for one or two capable disciples to stay here permanently."
After a pause, he added:
"How about that Yunfeng?"
When he was looking for the formation eye at the old site of Ling Xiaozi, Yunfeng was the leader among the group of monks that Chen Ping rescued from evil spirits.
Later, in the process of communicating with the disciples of the Yun family, I also met Yunfeng several times.
The impression is that this person does things in an orderly manner, knows how to measure things, and speaks with clear ideas.
Not only that, Yunfeng is also one of the core figures in Yunfu's medicine recognition, identification and cultivation of medicinal materials.
Hearing this, Yun Haitang smiled hoarsely and said:
"Yunfeng is the mainstay of the Yun Mansion and is responsible for many important affairs. It's a good thing for you that your idea is on him."
Just joking, Yun Haitang naturally would not refuse.
She actually had thoughts of retiring from Yun Mansion and wanted to accompany Chen Ping to practice on Xiaozhu Peak.
with the current busyness
Compared with life, she missed the days of practicing alone with Chen Ping.
Moreover, Chen Ping's cultivation level has advanced rapidly, and Yu Lingchun has also entered a large sect, so she is somewhat under pressure.
It's a pity that the ancestor Yun Wenting passed away.
Yun Lingshan didn't know if she could successfully build the foundation. Over the past year, she had stripped away all the affairs from Yun Lingshan, allowing Yun Lingshan to stay at Xiaozhu Peak to practice with peace of mind, hoping that Yun Lingshan could shoulder the responsibility in the future. The banner of the Yun family.
...When the day comes when the younger generation becomes successful, they can retire with success.
But when I thought that even if Yun Lingshan succeeded in building the foundation, she would have to be at least in the middle stage of the foundation building before she could barely be qualified to take up the position in the family, which suddenly made her feel a little sad.
Looking back from the trivial matters, she sighed and smiled:
"That's up to you. Yun Feng is one of the best disciples among the Yun family disciples in collecting medicinal herbs and planting spiritual materials, and he is also experienced and decent in his work. It is indeed the most suitable for him to come to Xiaozhu Peak."
That night, Yunfeng appeared at Xiaozhu Peak.
"Master Chen Feng, junior Yun Feng is here to report. The head of the family has already told me about the specific tasks." Yun Feng looked happy.
Although Yuncheng and Xiaozhufeng are inextricably linked, they are two independent systems after all. Yunfu has its own operating model and its own disciples to support.
But Xiaozhufeng is different. It is Chen Ping's own property.
Xiaozhu Peak is in its early stages of development. If you join Xiaozhu Peak at this time, as long as you do well and are recognized by the peak master, you will be equivalent to the position of a small manager, and you will be an old man on Xiaozhu Peak in the future.
The status will be higher.
What's more.
Yun Mansion has a lot of affairs, but Xiaozhu Peak is much more pure and can free up more time for practice.
The intensity of spiritual energy on Xiaozhu Peak is far beyond what the Yun Mansion in the city of casual cultivators can compare with.
This alone is an opportunity that countless people dream of.
Chen Ping saw Yunfeng's joy and calmed him down:
"Don't be too happy too early. There are rules on Xiaozhu Peak. Among other things, the cultivation of spiritual materials requires more attention to excellence and there is no room for sloppiness."
Yunfeng heard this and said quickly:
"Junior knows. Junior will be careful and handle everything well."
After a pause, he said again:
"I will never cause trouble to the Peak Master."
They all learned to answer questions quickly.
That's great!
Chen Ping nodded:
"You can choose a house on the mountainside by yourself. You can recruit the helpers and laborers you need. Report all matters to your Yun family leader. If she encounters something that she can't solve, she will come to me."
These expenses will not be too large. At most, they will pay some labor wages. None of this will be a problem until the day when the fruits of Butterfly Evening Primrose produce profits.
It will also generate additional income.
"Yes, Peak Master." Yunfeng bowed.
After Yunfeng resigned, Chen Ping returned to the quiet room, took a sip of boiled water, and began to think about his future.
Next we need to go to the Demon City.
Before that, you need to upgrade your realm to the late stage of foundation building.
On the one hand, the demon capital is further away, and the spiritual power reserve and strength of the sixth level of foundation building are somewhat inadequate. Only by building at least seven levels of foundation can you be more confident in dealing with various potential dangers.
On the other hand, the later stage of foundation building is the critical period for god refining. If you have bought enough Awakening Pills, there is no need to worry.
Chen Ping sorted out his thoughts.
The first task is to improve your cultivation.
The second task is to resume muscle training.
During the year and several months in the Tianyan Domain, most of the time was spent on the art of brewing wine. Apart from the exercises, other talismans, spells, body refining, etc. were basically left behind.
Other than that, it’s easy to say that you need to recover as soon as possible during physical training.
As for the talismans, there is no need to worry, the spirit stones are still enough.
The third task is to practice the Ice Body Divine Code.
No need to rush this
, is specially prepared for the formation of elixirs. It only needs to be practiced to Dzogchen before completing the ninth level of foundation building.
The fourth task is to practice various spells.
Including Mu Hongli's beast control skills, Qingmang Sword, Heaven's Punishment Thunder, Calling Jue Falling Sword Skills, etc.
Of course, the brewing of unknown wine cannot stop.
But you can brew more at once instead of brewing every month.
'There's no need to rush, just take your time. I still have more than 200 years to live on the road to spiritual practice, which is enough. ,
'What is more needed now is stability. ,
Chen Ping slowly drank a glass of boiled water and looked out the window... Yun Haitang had returned to Yun Mansion, and the three maids were busy with various sundries in the yard.
The spiritual plants in the yard are lush and swaying in the breeze.
The sun sets and everything is beautiful.
Chen Ping looked up at the sky...it was still early.
He might as well go to the leader's house. He has been away for a year and has been back for three days. He should go and say hello to the leader.
After Lingxiao Sect got on the right track, Wei Xun also gradually delegated power, no longer doing many things personally, and spent more time on cultivation.
At this moment, I heard that Chen Ping came to visit and walked out of the quiet room.
When he heard that Yu Lingchun had been rescued, Wei Xun's eyes widened in shock:
"Seriously? Then Fairy Xiyue agreed to accept fellow Taoist Yu? Did she provide the kind of spiritual wine that Fairy Xiyue likes to drink?"
Wei Xun's eyes were full of disbelief.
When Chen Ping decided to go to Tianyan Territory, Wei Xun was not optimistic about it. He thought it was Chen Ping who had no regrets in order to give up his obsession.
I don’t think Chen Ping can succeed at all.
What kind of spiritual wine is this?
So attractive?
When Chen Ping saw that Wei Xun had completely lost the solemnity of the leader, he felt a little funny and said:
"This Nascent Soul is also a human being. A human being has needs. I brewed for her the spirit wine that she likes to drink. The taste is just right for her, so she naturally agreed. Isn't this normal? Back then, Head Wei Isn’t that how you asked Fairy Xiyue for help?”
The corners of Wei Xun's mouth twitched.
Said so lightly.
Is this normal?
This is not normal.
Thinking back to the time when he had sacrificed his life to save an important disciple of Fairy Xiyue, and he was also a multiple disciple, he was lucky enough to get to know Fairy Xiyue, which only gave her the opportunity to set up the mountain-protecting formation.
Setting up the mountain protection formation is just a one-time thing.
It will take decades to rescue Yu Lingchun.
Can this be the same?
Could it be?
...No, no, this Chen Ping is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
Besides, I heard that Fairy Xiyue has always been slow about the relationship between men and women, and it can even be said that she has no idea at all.
Chen Ping just felt that Wei Xun looked at him a little strangely, and said speechlessly:
"Don't mention that, it can be regarded as a lucky break. There are still many troubles ahead."
"I heard that Master Wei has found the secret technique to suppress the devil's will? How is the situation?"
Wei Xun originally wanted to complain... What is trouble? That was an opportunity, an opportunity to get acquainted with the Yuanying monk.
However, after hearing Chen Ping's last words, Wei Xun stopped his urge to complain:
"It has been proven among some disciples that the secret technique is feasible, at least for most monks. Only a small number of monks cannot practice it due to physical or mental reasons. I am ready to open the secret technique to all disciples and casual practitioners."
Chen Ping was thoughtful.
If this is the case, Yun Haitang can also learn this secret technique to prevent him from developing resistance to the Awakening Pill after taking too much.
As for myself, there is no need to spend time on the practice of secret arts. It is the best way to improve your realm first and refine yourself as soon as possible.
The two continued chatting for a while.
What surprised Chen Ping was that although Wei Xun did not accept Chen Ping's suggestion of burning a lot of wasteland, he really started to build a mortal dynasty in an attempt to control the entire Qingyun Domain.
In one piece.
Wei Xun may also be too afraid of demon cultivators.
Don't want to make the same mistake again.
In addition, Wei Xun regards the cultivation of spiritual rice as the main business of the Qingyun Territory spiritual planter, planting a large amount of spiritual rice, and the harvest in the past year has basically satisfied the self-sufficiency of all the monks, and there is even some surplus.
With spiritual rice, regardless of quality, at least those low-level monks no longer have to go hungry, which is extremely important for maintaining stability.
This is one of the reasons why Wei Xun is becoming more relaxed.
This is what Chen Ping likes to see. Only when the Qingyun Domain is stable will his cultivation career be stable.
Afterwards, Wei Xun took out Chen Ping's reward for breaking the fog, which was contained in a storage bag.
According to the original promise, he personally handed it to Chen Ping:
"I won't go into details about what breaking the fog formation means to the Lingxiao Sect. In the original reward and punishment rules of the Lingxiao Sect, there is no such thing as saving the sect, and they can only be given according to the highest individual reward level. The Lingxiao Sect does not pay attention to spiritual stones in punishment and rewards. , pays more attention to meritorious deeds, Master Chen Feng should know this."
"I gave a little more on this basis, but since the Lingxiao Sect was rebuilt, the spirit stone inventory has been depleted rapidly. To be honest, there is not much left. So the extra I can give to Master Chen is not too much. But As for meritorious service, I know that Master Chen doesn’t like to take risks to take on missions, so I have given enough in this aspect, which can be considered as some compensation for the spiritual stones.”
"As I said, if Master Chen needs anything in the future, just ask for it. As long as it does not violate the rules of Lingxiao Sect, I will not say anything."
Chen Ping took the storage bag:
"Headmaster Wei, you don't have to be polite. According to Lingxiao Sect's punishment and reward system, the reward is whatever it is. It doesn't matter."
For him at that time, breaking the formation was not for Lingxiao Sect, but to save himself.
It's for yourself.
At this point, he and Wei Xun need each other.
This time, no matter how much or how little you give, it will be profitable for him.
Back at Xiaozhu Peak, Chen Ping sorted out the rewards for breaking the formation. The reward is very simple, only spiritual stones and simple cards.
[Mid-grade spiritual stones: 4,000. Simple card: 200 yuan. 】
Although Wei Xun said there were not many spiritual stones, there were actually quite a few. Chen Ping earned enough spiritual stones during the disaster. For other foundation-building monks, this would definitely be a huge profit.
Save a little and it will last a lifetime.
A foundation-building guest minister only earns 60 middle-grade spiritual stones a year.
Li Feiyu turned his head in pain when he heard that a robe with hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones was being photographed.
As for Chen Ping himself, if he draws two evil-killing talismans every day, 4,000 spirit stones would be equivalent to spending 18 years of continuous work every day to earn so much.
According to what Wei Xun said, there were originally some rights to enter certain places in the sect, tokens to meet the golden elixir, rights to choose exercises, etc. But Chen Ping is the peak master, so he doesn’t need to give these extra things.
'There are quite a lot of simple cards, so I have the opportunity to pick out a few good spells. ,
As for the storage bag, it is for 1 cubic meter.
Chen Ping cleaned up all his current spirit stones.
[There are 23 high-grade spiritual stones, 11,108 medium-grade spiritual stones, and 922 low-grade spiritual stones. 】
hey-hey.
Only if you have more than 10,000 spiritual stones can you feel safe.
Drawing symbols?
What is the symbol?
Practice with peace of mind!
