early morning.
The first ray of sunshine falls softly on Xiaozhu Peak, the rich spiritual energy lingers, the fragrance of butterfly spirit evening primrose floats, and the cries of various birds.
Chen Ping got up early in the morning and went to the head of the house.
He told Wei Xun that he would take a trip and told Wei Xun Ji Yan's request.
Then, under the watch of Yun Haitang, he quietly set off from Xiaozhu Peak with his sword.
Lingxiao Sect is located in the Western Wasteland, the west side of Xizhou, while the Demon City is located in the Demon Territory of the East China Sea, the easternmost side of Xizhou.
There is an island area in the middle.
Fortunately, although the entire Xizhou is very large, it is long and narrow running from north to south.
The distance from west to east is not extremely wide.
Moreover, the demon capital is located to the southwest of the demon domain in the East China Sea.
The distance from Lingxiao Sect to the Demon City of the East China Sea is about 500,000 miles.
This distance is definitely not close.
I don’t know why Baili Ye, as a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, traveled so far away.
Not to mention the dangers involved.
This distance alone is definitely not something that a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can achieve.
Chen Ping avoided Xiuxian City and the sect and flew northeast along the forest with his sword. When he settled down to rest before dark on the first day, he estimated that he had flown almost 9,000 miles.
It was different from when he went to Tianyan City, when he took Yu Lingchun with him, which was equivalent to carrying a heavy load.
After that, I bought a new third-level robe, which has better wind control effect.
More importantly, after reaching the seventh level of foundation building and completing the 'Eighteen Days of Tribulation', the quality indicators in all aspects have been greatly improved.
Even compared to when he came back from Tianyan City, the speed has increased by at least 15%.
Chen Ping also increased his average daily sword-wielding time.
Based on this speed and the average daily sword-wielding time, it will take about 55 days to reach the destination.
Of course, Chen Ping is not in a hurry.
This time Donghai and his party were not only looking for divine refining techniques, but also to increase their knowledge.
Instead of taking the fast road, take the safer road.
Once he encounters an unknown risk, he is willing to wait for a long time after landing, or take a long detour to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Before this departure, Chen Ping had already planned a detailed route. The route marked the major spheres of influence. Most of the time, the planned route avoided the spheres of influence such as Zongmen and Xiuxian City, and mainly followed the endless route. Forest flight.
Some large Xiuxian cities are also marked.
You can stay briefly in case of supply needs.
Chen Ping moved forward cautiously, and after more than ten days, he entered the Zhongdao District.
After many days of swimming in the green ocean, in the evening of this day, Chen Ping finally arrived at a larger Xiuxian City on the way and settled down for the time being.
Judging from the brochure provided by Yun Haitang, this immortal city is famous for its alchemy skills and the elixirs are relatively cheap.
After staying at the inn, Chen Ping took a short rest and went to the market. He found two elixir shops to learn about the market. After some negotiation, he did not buy it because the price was too expensive.
Finally, I found the largest elixir shop.
The elixirs here are much richer than those in Lingxiao Sect, and many kinds of niche elixirs can be seen.
For example, pills that make people laugh, pills that make people's skin temporarily darken, etc.
All kinds of weird elixirs.
"May I ask the shopkeeper, how to sell the Qi Gathering Pill?"
I have used the Qi Gathering Pill I bought last time, especially when I was in Tianyan City for more than a year. I took a lot of Qi Gathering Pills because of my lack of spiritual energy.
This is because he basically didn't take Qi Gathering Pills during those years in Luoyue City, otherwise they would have been exhausted long ago.
When I was planning my travel route a few days ago, I knew that there happened to be a sect on this road that was good at alchemy, so I didn't go to Lingxiao Sect to replenish the Qi Gathering Pills, but planned to stop by here to take a look.
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Ping and said politely:
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy it individually or...
Establish long-term buying and selling channels? "
I asked about wholesale. It seemed that many monks or caravans came here to purchase goods.
Chen Ping did not say anything to death:
"If the price is right, it's not a bad idea to establish long-term channels. I come from a large sect."
At least the channel can be provided to Yun Haitang.
Whether we cooperate or not is another matter.
The shopkeeper is also an experienced person, but after a while of discussion, he saw that what Chen Ping said was true, and finally gave a unit price of 460 low-grade spiritual stones for a bottle.
This price is slightly cheaper than the normal price of Lingxiao Sect (5 medium-grade spiritual stones in one bottle), and also slightly cheaper than the first two stores.
Chen Ping finally spent 1,330 medium-grade spiritual stones and bought 300 bottles.
And asked the shopkeeper for a list of elixirs.
Back at the inn, I took a hot bath to wash away the dust from my body, and then had a hearty meal.
The next day, we set off again.
The route Chen Ping chose was relatively remote, and it was at the southern end of the Zhongdao District. There were fewer sects, and sometimes you might not be able to see a single person even after flying for seven or eight days.
More than twenty days from the date of departure.
On this day, as night fell, Chen Ping found a cave in the forest, cleaned and arranged the formations, settled down to rest, and released the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada as usual.
I never expected to discover through Jiuyou Colorful Cicada that there was a pair of monks settling down there more than twenty miles away.
Chen Ping restrained his aura and hid in the cave to avoid being noticed by the other party's consciousness.
At the same time, he continued to observe each other's every move through Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.
More than twenty miles away.
Two monks, a man and a woman, stood together, very close to each other, but neither of them looked at each other. They both slightly raised their heads and stared at a vine wrapped around the trunk of a big tree.
A dazzling purple flower blooms on the vine.
"Senior brother, they say that one of 10,000 feather flowers from the other side can bloom, and one of 10,000 feather flowers from the other side can bear fruit. Can this feather flower from the other side really bear fruit?" The female cultivator gently pulled the man. Repair hands.
The male cultivator raised his hand and touched the female cultivator's head lovingly and said:
"Judging from the shape, it may be the result. But no one knows until the last moment. We will find out later. Today is the time of the full moon. Maybe we will see the real chapter tonight."
The female cultivator nodded:
"It's not in vain that we secretly guarded it for three months."
"We haven't been able to advance in the God Refining for several years, but God will still take care of us after all."
The male cultivator patted the female cultivator on the back:
"Yes. If it can bear fruit, I will give you this rare and unforgettable Bian Yu Nirvana. This is the best spiritual fruit that can strengthen the soul. After you have succeeded in refining the spirit, you can take this Bian Nirvana and your Yuan Shen." God will be greatly strengthened."
The female cultivator was moved in her heart and looked at her Taoist companion:
"No, you should eat it, senior brother. When you become stronger, I can enjoy the blessings along with you."
The male cultivator said affectionately:
"Then we will become stronger together and form elixirs together."
"Um."
"..."
Time blows like a gentle breeze, blowing the full moon.
It also brought joy.
Under the moonlight, a man and a woman held hands and stared nervously at Yu Niehua on the other side, without even breathing, with their hearts in their throats.
The palms of my hands were even sweaty.
Except for the chirping of insects and the occasional low cry of monsters, the forest was unusually quiet.
As the bright moonlight poured down, the petals of the Yu Nirvana flower on the other side slowly stretched out, and then fell one by one on their own.
The chests of the male and female monks were rising and falling, their eyes were wide open, and they were extremely nervous.
The petals fell one by one, and finally a small gap was revealed.
In the gap, there is a dark fruit with a pearl-like luster.
The two were overjoyed.
A worried heart finally let go.
"Hahaha, three months, I kept it for three full months, and it really paid off, hahaha." The male cultivator couldn't help but jumped into the air, wanting to pick the precious fruit.
This kind of fruit is extremely rare and is a rare natural treasure for refining gods in the later stages of foundation building.
And refining the gods is a powerful aid to forming pills.
But with just such a movement of power, he suddenly felt like he was in a trance, and he fell directly in the late stage of foundation building.
The male cultivator was shocked and immediately checked his body with his consciousness.
Suddenly he turned his head and looked at his Taoist companion:
"Smelly bitch, was it you who gave me the medicine?"
The face of the female cultivator who originally had affection in her eyes changed, and she sneered:
"Senior brother, this other shore Yu Nirvana is the key spiritual fruit for whether I can form an elixir one day in the future. It must be mine. Junior sister, I can't afford to bet on it."
"So? Are you trying to kill me? I promised that the fruit will be yours." The male cultivator shouted angrily, veins popping out.
Speaking of this, the female cultivator suddenly became furious:
"Promise to me? Haha, who are you lying to? You..."
The female cultivator took a step forward excitedly, but with such a movement, her heart suddenly felt cramped.
She was horrified, holding her chest and taking two steps back in horror.
The pain is getting stronger and stronger:
"what did you do to me?"
"Hahahahaha." The male cultivator laughed wildly, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth:
"That's the heart-loving elixir. I secretly made you take it two months ago. Once this elixir encounters the scent of tulips, it will explode immediately. Hahaha, do you think I'm not on guard against you?"
The female nun showed pain on her face and found a tulip petal on the ground.
It had never been there before. It was probably because his senior brother had just witnessed the result of Higan Yu Nirvana and secretly took it out from the storage bag.
hateful.
"Cough cough cough, come on, hurry up, give me the detoxification pill, give it to me, I will save you. Cough cough cough." When the male cultivator faced death, fear completely took over his mind, and he crawled towards the female cultivator desperately, speaking in a hurried tone, But it only made him cough more violently.
He didn't dare to exercise his power or cast spells, which would only aggravate his death.
"Give it to me first, and then I'll give it to you." The female cultivator said heartbreakingly.
"I have the detoxification pill in my hand. Quick, give it to me."
"Give it to me first, bitch."
"you give me first."
"..."
...
"Hiss~"
When Chen Ping saw this scene in the cave, it was already after midnight. At this time, the male nun Xiu was already dead.
This pair is truly a match made in heaven.
I originally thought they were a loving Taoist couple.
I never thought that emotions would be so fragile in the face of interests.
One calculated the other party months in advance, and the other also gave the other party a powerful medicine that would kill him.
Chen Ping was filled with emotion.
Why bother?
Just for a spiritual fruit that strengthens the soul.
You can always strengthen it by slowly gaining proficiency.
Early the next morning.
Chen Ping repeatedly confirmed that the pair of Taoists were indeed dead before going to the scene and picking the other side feather nirvana fruit.
During the conversation with the other party, Chen Ping knew that this fruit was a precious spiritual fruit that strengthened the soul.
The best period of taking it is after refining the spirit.
Chen Ping hasn't refined it yet, so he won't use it for the time being, so he will keep it for now.
And he doesn't know how to take it now, so he doesn't dare to use it randomly. If something goes wrong, it will be in trouble.
I will find an opportunity to learn more about this fruit in the future, and if it is really useful, I can take it myself.
If there are any side effects, sell it.
He put the Bian Yu Nirvana Fruit into the spiritual plant bag, then took the belongings of the male and female monks and destroyed their bodies.
I hid in a cave and cleaned up my belongings.
[2 storage bags; 5 top-grade spiritual stones, medium
There are 633 high-grade spiritual stones and 98 low-grade spiritual stones. A bunch of other belongings. 】
The storage bags are 5 square meters and 3 square meters respectively.
Among the belongings, there are some talismans, elixirs, some magic robes, and a magic sword.
Including more than thirty bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.
But Chen Ping didn't dare to eat randomly. These two guys were both old coins and masters of poison.
Who knows if it is a real Qi Gathering Pill.
But it can be sold.
Chen Ping estimated that if these belongings were sold, they would be worth roughly 100 medium-grade spiritual stones.
There are also two bottles of 'Xinxindan' among them.
This is good stuff.
Poison pills are usually not sold and require certain means to obtain them.
What surprised Chen Ping was that neither of them had corresponding antidote pills.
But in their conversation, they clearly swore that as long as the other party gave them the detoxification pill, they could immediately exchange their own detoxification pill.
Not a word is believable.
These two people...
...really a Taoist couple.
Chen Ping packed up his belongings and continued on his way with his sword.
Five days later, I stopped at a Xiuxian City and spent 500 medium-grade spiritual stones to buy 5 'Spirit Locking Boxes'.
Put the 'Biangan Yu Nirvana Fruit' into one of the spirit lock boxes.
With the protection of the spirit lock box, the spiritual energy and medicinal power of Bigan Yu Nirvana will not dissipate, and it can be stored for several years without any problem.
Continue all the way northeast.
More than forty days after the departure date, Chen Ping entered the Donghai District.
Of course, there is no clear boundary between Zhongdao District and Donghai District. Chen Ping estimated it from the map.
A few days later, as the East China Sea District deepens, it can be seen that there are obvious differences in the terrain between the East China Sea District, Zhongdao District, and Xihuang District.
Various rivers and trenches run through it.
The number of islands increased significantly.
The forest is more lush, and occasionally a Xiuxian City is seen, almost built in the forest.
In other words, there are also many big trees in Xiuxian City.
During this period, Chen Ping deliberately stopped in an Immortal Cultivation City to learn about the local situation and realized that there were both monsters and human monks in the Immortal Cultivation City here, and they all lived in harmony.
It was consistent with what was stated in the booklet, which made Chen Ping feel relieved a little.
The fiftieth day.
When Chen Ping settled down for the night in a forest in the evening, he suddenly heard calls for help.
Chen Ping was suddenly startled.
He quietly shrank into the tree hole.
It's almost dark, why are there still people in the forest?
etc.
wrong.
Chen Ping listened intently.
"Help~life, help~life~, help~life,...help...life..."
The sound is sometimes rapid, sometimes long, sometimes close, sometimes far.
...There's something wrong with this cry for help.
Chen Ping shook his head violently... When he came to his senses, this terrifying sound could actually make people lose consciousness.
He immediately tensed up.
His eyes were staring straight out of the tree hole.
A hand gently stretched out to his arms... The evil-killing talisman didn't even heat up.
Chen Ping's scalp was numb.
It’s not evil! !
This is not a good sign.
If the other party is evil, as long as it is not extremely rare and powerful. I have a large number of evil-killing talismans on my body, and with the help of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, which is about to reach the 'Grandmaster' level, even if I can't kill the opponent, I still have enough confidence to protect myself.
But it's not evil, it's people pretending to be gods?
Or maybe it's a demon?
'yes. ,
'This is demon territory. ,
Chen Ping didn't move. This was the first time he had encountered a situation that put him in a deep crisis.
This sense of crisis is different from the one given by monsters.
The state of repression is also different from that of high-level monks.
But a fear of the unknown.
He stayed quietly in the tree hole, watching every move outside the tree hole, ready to deliver the strongest blow at any time.
As far as he could see, in the forest at night, he seemed to see a pure white fox, its long tail swaying gently.
He even felt that the fox was smiling at him.
But when he glanced again, there was nothing.
After waiting for a moment, the sound slowly disappeared.
The creepy feeling also disappeared.
'so close. ,
'I don't know what it is. ,
Chen Ping no longer stayed in the tree hole. He was not sure whether he had been discovered by the monster, so he had better leave as soon as possible.
Because it was already dark, Chen Ping did not dare to keep driving in the night, and finally stopped in an open area.
Rest is impossible.
I took a Qi Gathering Pill and got through the night first.
At this moment, for the first time, he had doubts about whether coming out this time was the right choice.
Was it reckless?
After the Lingxiao Sect was rebuilt, I became the Peak Master of the Lingxiao Sect. After that, I successfully obtained the help of Fairy Xiyue, the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, and then defeated the invincible Lu Xiangbei with one sword...
It all went so well.
So much so that the mentality is somewhat inflated.
But in fact, I am only at the late stage of foundation building. The world is too big, with too many uncontrollable factors and too many unknown dangers.
Even if you are cautious, you must plan everything before taking action.
But there will still be unpredictable things happening.
For example, today's suspected monster.
'After this time, stay well on Xiaozhu Peak and never leave the area easily. ,
Chen Ping was extremely nervous all night.
Fortunately, nothing happened until dawn.
Early in the morning, Chen Ping left decisively and quickly.
In the following time, Chen Ping was cautious and tried to avoid too dense forests even if he stayed at night.
Just go and stop like this.
On the fifty-ninth day, the demons appeared in front.
'After almost two months, we finally arrived at our destination. ,
