How could Brother Chen give up Qilin Fire so easily? "
In the side hall, after listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Baili Xianling's childish face was filled with regret.
On the way back from Canghai, she had intentionally or unintentionally introduced some high-quality assets of the Helian family to Chen Ping, but that was because Chen Ping had saved Helianzheng's life and might be able to ask for some resource compensation.
She definitely didn't expect Chen Ping to give up Qilin Fire.
Baili Ye also felt sorry:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are confused!"
"These resources are certainly good, but how can they be compared with Qilin Fire? When splitting the soul, you need your subjective consent. Force is useless. As long as Fellow Daoist Chen insists on not letting go, they have absolutely no other choice."
"Besides, fellow Taoist He Lianzheng really intends to merge his soul with fellow Taoist."
Chen Ping shook his head:
"Strong melons are not sweet."
"Let's leave it as it is. I still have two things I want to ask fellow Taoist Baili for help with."
The road to immortality is long, and the Kirin Fire is just a bonus.
When there is no danger, the more bonus points the better.
In the face of danger, bonus points can be discarded. No matter whether Patriarch Helian made a request to split the soul and extract the Qilin Fire today, his choice was to give up.
The only difference is that this time I have access to some resources with a clear conscience.
After this incident, he had nothing to do with the Helian family.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please tell me," Bailiye said.
Although I felt sorry for Chen Ping, the matter was done and it was Chen Ping's own business. As a bystander, Bailiye was not in a position to interfere.
But at this moment, while feeling sorry for Chen Ping, Baili Ye was also feeling sorry for the Helian family. Others may not know it, but Bai Linye and Chen Ping have cooperated several times, and they have long realized that Chen Ping is anything but simple.
In front of those so-called sect geniuses, in Baili Ye's opinion, Chen Ping might not be inferior.
And Chen Ping is cautious.
No matter how talented a sect disciple is, once the fate of life and death disappears and the Qilin Fire is extinguished, He Lianzheng can only draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.
'Senior Helian is so confused! , he sighed lightly.
Chen Ping didn't know the rich inner drama of the Baili Ye brothers and sisters, so he explained:
"For the properties I obtained from the Helian family this time, I also asked fellow Taoist Baili to claim that they were kept by me for a long time. On the other hand, please help instruct the Helian family to keep this secret to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. trouble."
"That's the first and second thing."
"I don't know as much about soul splitting as you do. To be on the safe side, I would like to ask Fellow Taoist Baili to come to the scene to supervise the soul splitting tomorrow to avoid unnecessary complications. Is it okay?"
In the Demon City and the others, the most trustworthy people are this brother and sister.
We have cooperated and interacted in life and death.
Even though the Soul Splitting incident was a big deal, even the Demon Queen knew that the Helian family usually followed the rules. But having one more Baili Ye present will make him feel more at ease.
Before Baili Ye could speak, Baili Xianling immediately said:
"Brother Chen, Xianling, go and watch."
Seeing her brother rolling over, she shrank her neck and said nothing.
"Don't worry, I will be there then."
"Then thank you Taoist Baili!"
"..."
A night of silence.
On the second day, the soul splitting officially began.
The location of the soul splitting is in the ancestral palace of the Helian clan in the imperial city.
On that day, not only Bailiye came, but Baili Xianling was also present.
On the side of the Helian clan, the Helian ancestor and a group of core family members were all present.
"Little friend Chen only needs to walk into the soul-splitting tower in front, open his heart, and don't have any resistance during the soul-splitting process. His mind can sense the Qilin Fire migrating to the outside. That's all. Leave the rest to the old man." After the exchange, Ancestor Helian held a wooden staff in his hand and said.
In the backyard of Helianzu Mansion, towering
Standing in front of Chen Ping is a square tower that is not very high.
The square tower is made of bluestone. There are several black iron hinges hanging on the top of the tower. The other end of the hinges extends in all directions and is connected to the four unicorn sculptures standing on the outside.
The bluestone of the tower body looks ordinary, but when you look at it from a close distance, you can feel that there is a rich Taoist charm hidden in it.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen. Fellow Daoist has been kind to my Baili family. There is no way he will suffer even the slightest harm in this square tower." Bailiye said.
On the surface, these words were meant for Chen Ping, but in fact they were meant for the Helian clan.
"good!"
Chen Ping agreed, glanced at the Soul-Splitting Tower, and walked straight into the Soul-Splitting Tower.
The walls of the Soul Split Tower are also inlaid with four unicorn heads on all four sides. Otherwise, the interior of the tower is unremarkable.
After Chen Ping was ready, as the voice of Patriarch Helian came, the four unicorn eyes suddenly opened and stared at Chen Ping quietly.
Chen Ping relaxed his mind.
I have inquired many times from the Bailiye brothers and sisters before, and there is nothing dangerous about soul splitting. All the soul-melting objects of the Lord of Kirin will eventually experience a soul split, which is very mature.
Chen Ping closed his eyes and relaxed. Slowly, slowly, he didn't know how long it took, he felt the Qilin Fire in his Dantian trembling, as if he missed the warmth in Chen Ping's Dantian and didn't want to leave.
But in the end, under the secret technique, it slowly overflowed and flowed into Qilin's mouth in four streams.
Chen Ping didn't care about how the Qilin Fire gathered after it flowed out, or how He Lianzheng recovered. After he came to his senses, he checked his own condition.
The soul was in a daze, as if it had been attacked by the enemy.
But not too serious.
This may be due to the fact that the two souls have only been fused for more than 20 days, less than a month. The time is short and the degree of fusion is low, so it is easy to split.
'Judging from the severity of the injury, it will take about two or three months to fully recover. ,
Other than that, there is no other discomfort.
While Chen Ping was thinking this, he heard the voice of Patriarch Helian coming from outside:
"Little friend Chen, the soul splitting is over. Thank you for your help. I would like to express my gratitude here. Little friend Chen, just walk out of the soul hunting tower as usual."
Chen Ping shook his spiritual power and walked out of the Soul-Splitting Tower.
"Brother Chen, how are you?" Baili Xianling saw Chen Ping coming out and walked over first.
"It's okay, I'll go back later!" Chen Ping smiled.
Glancing at the people of the Helian family, it was different from Chen Ping's nervousness before entering the Soul-Splitting Tower. At this moment, almost everyone was happy to return to Helian Zheng's body with unicorn fire on their faces.
Chen Ping ignored the greetings of the few of them, and walked straight out with the Bai Li Ye brothers and returned to Miyagi City.
"..."
Along the way, Baili Ye and Baili Xianling didn't speak much. They probably thought that Chen Ping was a little disappointed because of the loss of Qilin Fire, and they didn't know what to say.
But in fact, Chen Ping was relaxed.
'Finally all the tails of Yaodu and his party have been dealt with. After the soul has fully recovered, they can return to Lingxiao Sect. ,
'This trip to the Demon City, although there were twists and turns, the results were all good. ,
'It went pretty well. ,
'.......,
"Fellow Taoist Baili, do you know if there are some clean places in the outer city? Even an inn?" Chen Ping asked.
I may have to stay here for several months in the future. Living in the side hall of Bailiye is not a problem, and it is very inconvenient to move around.
Just live in the outer city by yourself.
As a demon capital, Luanluo City's security is still very good, and there are basically no fights. No need to worry even if you live in an outer city.
As for the previous inn, it was too busy and crowded with people, so it was not a place to stay permanently.
"Don't you live in the palace? The side hall is so wide, can't it accommodate Fellow Daoist Chen?" Bai Liye said with a smile.
Chen Ping smiled:
"That's it
No, I'm just used to living alone. Besides, living in the outer city is free and more convenient without the red tape of the palace city. "
Seeing Chen Ping's insistence, Baili Ye didn't say anything more and told:
"I also have a mansion in the outer city. It is relatively quiet and has strong spiritual energy. It is good to practice there. It's just that I haven't lived there for a long time. Except for the maid, housekeeper and a group of people, there is no Taoist friend who can talk to me on weekdays. After staying here for a long time, I get bored easily."
Chen Ping was delighted.
It’s good to be clean.
Clean means no one disturbs you.
Who is a serious person who finds it boring?
"Then there is Taoist friend Lao Baili. I can just stay there for a while." Chen Ping said immediately.
"Okay, I will make arrangements. However, although they are all in Luanluo City, the palace city is far away from the outer city, and you cannot fly with a sword. It is very inconvenient to go back and forth. I may not go there often. If Fellow Daoist Chen needs to find me, Just ask the city defenders to send a message, and someone will naturally pick up Daoist Chen."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"..."
After the three of them landed in Miyagi, they walked and chatted. When they entered the interior of Miyagi, they saw a group of pedestrians, led by a man with cold eyes.
The man was wearing a prince-patterned python robe, and he looked like one of Baili Ye's brothers.
But when he saw Chen Ping and the others, the man just glanced around with a deep look and a smile, and did not say hello.
Bai Linye also made no move to greet him.
The two groups passed each other and walked some distance before Bailiye said:
"That person is Qingde."
Qingde?
Chen Ping was stunned.
Naturally, I remember this name. It was the real mastermind behind the Lian Shen Island group's plot against Baili Xianling, and by the way, Chen Ping's plot against him.
What Chen Ping was curious about was that it had been nearly a month since he left Lian Shen Island, so how could this person still be walking here so well?
At the beginning, Bailiye swore that if this person did not obey the law, he would not be a human being.
Chen Ping couldn't help but asked through his spiritual consciousness:
"What? The queen didn't deal with him?"
Baili Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It’s not that we don’t deal with it, it’s that there is no evidence.
When Baili Ye and Baili Jinshuang came out of Lian Shen Island, they immediately found the Demon Queen.
Tell everything that happened on Lian Shen Island.
However, before the Demon Queen summoned Qingde, that same day, the prince with a low status who had the quarrel with Bailiye suddenly committed suicide out of fear of crime, and his soul was completely destroyed.
Later it was spread that it was the Baili Ye group that the prince had framed.
Everyone knew that the prince had always been at odds with the Bailiye brothers and sisters, and there was news that in the days before Bailiye entered the Lian Shen Island, the prince secretly inquired about the situation of Bailiye and Chen Ping.
The evidence of the investigation is conclusive, and there are witnesses and physical evidence.
Afterwards, after Qingde received the summons, he burst into tears in front of the Demon Queen and swore with his Taoist heart, claiming that he was not the Nanyang group he ordered.
He also claimed that the prince who committed suicide out of fear of crime was from the Qingqing faction, and the Qingqing faction had always been at odds with the Bailiye faction, so Qingqing should be investigated.
"Then Qingde swears with his Taoist heart that it was not him?" Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Bai Linye said regretfully:
"Yes, this is where we are helpless. Although the imperial sister and I both swear that every word is true, Qingde also dares to swear that this is something I never expected."
It's so cruel.
Dead people can't lie, and Liuli's words can't be false.
This must be what Qingde did.
But Qingde dared to block his lifelong cultivation in order to survive.
Too cruel!
"What about the Nanyang, Hanmo, and Liuli families?" Chen Ping asked again.
Bailiye said: "They are all small families over there, but no one can excuse them. They have been dealt with completely. Even Qingqing was forced to use Dao
The heart made an oath. "
"Now, both Qingde and Qingqing are under house arrest. They need to assist in the investigation and are not allowed to leave Luanluo City."
"But I'm afraid it won't be easy for Qing De to subdue the law."
Baili Ye felt helpless.
Baili Xianling clenched her pink fists tightly and frowned tightly together, looking indignant.
Chen Ping finally figured out what the smiling look in Qingde's eyes just now meant.
That look seemed to be saying——
--how? I am alive and well. What can you do to me?
It was a provocative look.
There is no evidence on the surface. Even if the queen emotionally trusts Baili Xianling, she really can't do anything to Qingde.
In two years, all the evidence in Lian Shen Island has been completely destroyed.
If Qingde dares to make risky moves, he has probably already thought carefully and eliminated all potential risks in advance.
Chen Ping said thoughtfully:
"If we can't find any evidence from the outside, can't we deal with it secretly?"
Bailiye's eyes were full of reluctance: "It's difficult. Qingde is currently under house arrest in Luanluo City, but he is now safer. Luanluo City has many eyes and ears, and no one dares to commit crimes in Luanluo City. Even if the house arrest is lifted, Qingde knows that we have already I doubt him, even if he leaves Luanluo City, he will definitely be fully armed, so it may not be easy to kill him."
After a pause, he said harshly:
"However, Qingde and I have a sworn hatred. We will not be separated just because of his cessation of cultivation. I will definitely fight with him to the end."
Chen Ping turned his head and glanced at the direction Qingde left.
At this moment, at the other end of the long palace alley, Qingde happened to look back, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.
In Qingde's eyes, ants like Chen Ping can be crushed if they are crushed, it is no big deal.
Insects in dust can never fly.
Chen Ping turned around and narrowed his eyes.
He remembered what happened in Lian Shen Island. Before several people in Nanyang killed people, they must have said that they were under his instructions.
This is a clear indication of treating him as a soft persimmon.
It's a good thing that Qingde didn't succeed this time.
If once Qingde succeeds, several princesses and princes die on Lian Shen Island, allowing Nanyang and others to escape from Lian Shen Island, then it will be Chen Ping who is indistinguishable.
It's no use swearing.
Just think about it, for murdering three princesses and a prince, even if Chen Ping was lucky enough to escape from Lian Shen Island alive, he would probably be hunted by the entire Qingluan Dynasty.
There is still no way to escape death if pursued.
Not only himself, but also small sects like Lingxiao Sect will inevitably bear the wrath of the Qingluan Dynasty, and it is inevitable that a number of people will die.
Yun Haitang is certain to die.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping's pupils couldn't help but become cold.
Even if Bailiye didn't retaliate against this hatred, he, Chen Ping, would never turn a blind eye.
…
Chen Ping moved to the outer city that day.
Bailiye's outer city mansion is located in the central area of the outer city, but it is not around the busiest city. It is located in an area where dignitaries live, and it is very quiet.
Good location and quiet.
Chen Ping was very satisfied.
Satisfied beyond expectations.
The mansion is called Qingxiuju, and it is very large in area. It is very similar to the magnificent palaces in the palace city, and the various rooms are fully functional.
The only difference is that it is very clean here.
There were only a few servants inside.
"Master Chen Xian, this is your private room. His Highness said that you can use these private rooms at any time. There are cleaning rooms inside." After the butler completed the introduction of the mansion, two lovely maids accompanied Chen Ping to enter. His private room.
The private room was also magnificently decorated, but Chen Ping didn't care about these. He was more interested in the Qing Xiu Room behind the private room.
The Qing Xiu Room seems to be close to the roots of an ancestral tree, and it is very full of spiritual energy.
Pei.
It's much higher than in the inn.
That's great.
These nobles are really taking up such good resources if they don't come to live there permanently.
Sure enough, good resources will always be in the hands of a few people.
This is one of the reasons why practicing as a casual practitioner is so difficult.
If the wealthy couple is in love with the land, then the land will not be good.
"You guys go out first, I will do the rest myself." Chen Ping said.
"Yes!" The maid bowed slightly and said before slowly retreating:
"The maid is waiting outside the door. If the Immortal Master has instructions, you can call the maid at any time."
Chen Ping nodded and motioned for them to leave.
After being alone, Chen Ping returned to the Qing Xiu Room, took a Restoring Pill, and began to practice the exercises.
The weakness of the soul cannot be solved by rejuvenation alone. You can take pills, but the best way is to practice exercises to gradually restore your soul.
The results are slow but steady.
Late at night, when Chen Ping was doing his homework, two maids knocked on Chen Ping's door again. After entering, they bowed slightly:
"Master Chen, tonight...will the two slaves warm your bed?"
ha?
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Bed warmer? And there are two more?
These royal families are really...
Too corrupt.
Chen Ping thought of his weak soul and tired body, and decided to despise these royal pleasure-seeking people, hetui. He looked at the two little maids and said:
"There's no need to warm the bed. Can you make a medicinal bath?"
"Immortal Master, I will."
It took nearly a month of hard work traveling across the sea to return to Luanluo City. In addition, he immediately arranged to split the soul. At this moment, he was so tired that he just took a body-refining medicinal bath to enjoy himself.
ah! !
"..."
