Cleaning room.
Chen Ping restrained his consciousness and ended the last practice of Jiuyou Colorful Cicada's beast-controlling skills.
[Nine Nether Colorful Cicada. Beast Control: Perfect. 】
Since Jiuyou Colorful Cicada's beast control skills reached an expert level, she rarely spends time deliberately gaining experience.
Because it is enough.
However, over the years, Jiuyou Colorful Cicada has been used frequently to monitor or explore paths. Every time or several times it is used, it is equivalent to practicing the art of controlling beasts.
Over the years, Chen Ping has actually reached the full level of Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.
At full level, the various performances of Jiuyou Colorful Cicada have undergone a qualitative leap:
Concealment effect: No one can detect the golden elixir, and it is easy to ignore it in the early stage of the golden elixir.
Length of hiding: 3 days.
Hidden skill recovery interval: half an hour.
Single recallable time period: 30 days.
'not bad. ,
'Being able to train a first-level spirit beast to this level is a level that ordinary beast masters cannot achieve. ,
'It's good to have a panel! ,
Chen Ping smiled to himself and released the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada.
Since refining the gods, his consciousness has been very clear at close range, and he also has the value of exploring paths and monitoring others.
But a big problem with spiritual consciousness is that once it encounters a magic circle that isolates spiritual consciousness, spiritual consciousness is powerless.
In this case, sending the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada in can realize the value that cannot be realized by divine consciousness.
Furthermore, the spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage is a virtual object. It can only feed back information and cannot interfere with the scene.
The Nine Nether Colorful Cicada is alive. Not only can it empathize and feedback information, but it can also intervene on the scene. After all, it is a first-order spiritual beast and has the fighting strength of the Qi Refining Stage.
The two can be used together to make up for each other's shortcomings.
…
Jingshui Tower is a famous restaurant outside Luanluo City, not only because the person behind this restaurant is the prince of the Qingluan Dynasty, but also because there is an outstanding vocal performance here every once in a while.
There are many elegant and elegant people who come here to listen to music.
After his face changed, Chen Ping sat in the elegant room of Jingshui Tower, sipping a cup of light tea.
There will be a vocal performance here in two days.
This kind of performance happens every month in Jingshui Tower, which is not surprising to others, but judging from the information Chen Ping got from Baili Xianling, this day was not only a routine performance, but also It was the day when Qingde and the demon nun met here.
This means that Qingde will come with a high probability.
In the past few months, Chen Ping had been investigating this restaurant for a long time and knew all the information clearly.
There is a lot of risk in using spiritual consciousness to spy on and survey the situation in the Demon City. There are foundations here and there are also golden elixirs. It is easy to detect when using spiritual consciousness to spy on other people's privacy.
But Chen Ping is an exception.
His spiritual refining skills have reached the level of Dacheng, and his spiritual consciousness is very concealed. Not to mention foundation building, even in the early stage of the golden elixir, it is impossible to detect it.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping has been using his spiritual consciousness to spy on the surroundings of this restaurant this month. He has not been out much, but he already knows this area well.
However, a formation was arranged in the restaurant to isolate the spiritual consciousness, so that the spiritual consciousness could not pry into it. When he needed to know what was going on inside the restaurant, Chen Ping would occasionally visit the restaurant in person.
…There is no golden elixir in this restaurant, and there is no golden elixir’s consciousness left here… This is the information Chen Ping got after visiting the restaurant in person.
In this case, Jiuyou Colorful Cicada can show its value.
Under the golden elixir, no one can detect the hidden Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.
Chen Ping secretly took out a heart-loving pill, wrapped it with spiritual power, and handed it to the hidden Jiuyou Colorful Cicada.
The Xinxin Pill was picked up by Chen Ping from the couple who were watching the Yu Nieguo on the other side on the way to Luanluo City.
This kind of elixir is said to be
Poison elixir is not actually a poison elixir in the strict sense. It is not fatal by itself. It can only exert its toxicity when an inducer appears at the same time.
Essentially, it uses the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint.
Because of this, this rare poison elixir is colorless and odorless, making it difficult for people to detect it. Commonly used poison testing methods are basically useless.
Because when the primer does not appear, it itself is not poisonous.
Not toxic at all.
There were still two days before the performance, and the management of the hotel was not so strict. Jiuyou Colorful Cicada was hiding in the state, and when a monk turned on the formation, he took the opportunity to sneak into the dining room with the Heart-Absorbing Pill, without causing any trouble in the formation. any fluctuations.
The current Jiuyou Colorful Cicada has been perfected by Chen Ping. These are all basic skills.
This is already the second time that Jiuyou Colorful Cicada has entered the dining room of this restaurant. The previous time he entered, Chen Ping had a clear understanding of the location and layout of the restaurant's dining room.
After making all the arrangements, Chen Ping left Jingshui Tower calmly like a regular visitor.
Returning to the mansion, Chen Ping continued to practice.
A grain of Snake Crystal Sloughing Bone Pill enters my belly, and my body can't help but be controlled by heaven.
Bone Refining +1, +1...
...
Two days later.
Jingshui Tower.
As Chen Ping expected, Qingde and his entourage showed up at Jingshui Tower for the vocal performance on this day.
In the elegant room of Jingshui Tower, Qingde sat by the window with an elegant posture. The performance stage is right outside the window of the private room, and this perspective is the best location.
The rules in the palace city and the imperial city are strict, and this kind of singing and dancing situation is not allowed to exist in public unless it is a major festival.
It is precisely for this reason that performances like this in outer cities can also attract many dignitaries.
Because it has to serve dignitaries, the Jingshui Tower is not only exquisitely decorated, but also has very good defensive measures.
In terms of formations alone, there are not only sound-isolating formations, but also formations that isolate spiritual consciousness. Places such as the dining room, central stage, and private rooms also have defensive formations, and it is impossible to enter without a token.
"Your Highness, the performance is about to start. According to the old rules, we should serve worry-free tea first?" An old man bowed slightly beside Qingde.
Qingde just looked at the stage beyond the window sill and did not answer.
No answer is considered acquiescence.
The old man nodded and walked outside the private room to say hello. A waiter who had been waiting outside immediately ran to the dining room after receiving the instructions.
The dining room is protected by a formation, and you cannot enter without a certain identity. However, everyone who can enter the dining room is a good person.
The head clerk took out a set of special utensils and started making worry-free tea according to the process. What he didn't know was that the Jiuyou colorful cicada, which had been waiting here for two days, was quietly waiting beside him at this moment.
Chen Ping recognized the set of utensils engraved with the words Qingde, and Jiuyou Colorful Cicada naturally recognized them.
When the waiter was unaware, a Xinxin Dan fell into the tea and melted instantly, becoming colorless and odorless.
A moment later, the pot of tea appeared in the private room where Qingde was.
After dismissing the waiter, the old man who was following Qingde poured out a cup of tea, but did not bring it to Qingde, but handed it to another taciturn monk standing next to him.
The taciturn monk had no expression on his face, drank it all in one gulp, and then began to exercise, as if he was sensing something.
The old man continued to operate for a while. After a while, when he saw the taciturn monk shaking his head, he dismissed the taciturn monk, brought the spiritual tea to Qingde, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, don't be offended. I don't think that group of people will let it go. Although the restaurant is full of our own people and the formations are all in place, it's always right to be careful."
In the past, these details were not available.
No one is always on guard against others poisoning, and besides, the restaurant is one's own property, so it is heavily guarded.
But now is a special moment.
Qingde didn't even look at the two people who were busy. When he heard the old man's voice, he looked away from the stage outside the window.
:
"Lao Xiang, how many years have you followed me?"
The old man didn't know why the moody Prince Qingde in front of him suddenly mentioned this, and said carefully:
"Your Highness, for many years, since your Highness was a child, the old man has been with you."
"Now that His Highness is half a cripple, Lao Xiang has never thought about changing the court? To a prince to assist?" Qingde said quietly.
The old man was shocked and saluted quickly:
"Your Highness is too worried. A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to do his work. Now that I have followed Your Highness, I have never thought about the day I will quit."
After a pause, the old man smiled and said:
"Your Highness, do you regret it?"
He was naturally referring to plotting against Chen Ping and his party.
"regret?"
Qingde's originally empty and silent eyes suddenly became fierce and deep, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, and his eyes even had bloodshot eyes:
"It's always been like this before, as it has always been like this. Baili Xianling is too talented and suppresses His Highness in every aspect. This has become a knot in my heart. If she doesn't die, how can she practice?"
"Regret? The only thing that my Highness regrets is that he didn't plan well and trusted those losers in Nanyang."
The old man sighed softly in his heart and said:
"You can't blame Nanyang and the others for this. Maybe there's something fishy going on."
"Is there something else strange? What else is strange? Among the seven, only Baili Jinshuang is capable of fighting. Which of the other disciples is the opponent of the Nanyang people? What's the result? Not to mention Baili Xianling, even Chen Even ants like Ping walked out of Lian Shendao Island alive, and it was all in vain that His Highness gave them so many treasures." Qingde's expression was gloomy, revealing a murderous ferocity.
The old man sighed and reminded:
"It is impossible to know what happened in Lian Shen Island, but the reason why the Nanyang three people were able to harm the Lian Shen Island may not be simply because of the Nanyang three people's carelessness. In short, while His Highness is still alive, they have been plotted to kill several people. Even The three people from Nanyang were originally their strength. In this case, it is better for His Highness to be careful so that you have a chance to survive."
The old man was right.
Not to mention whether the oath is an unexplainable act, even if it is really unexplainable, Qingde still has a life span of more than a hundred years to enjoy given his cultivation level and age.
Even if your cultivation is stagnant, you can still branch out, or find another way to open another way of living.
When you die, there is really nothing.
Qingde looked out the window with trembling eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with some disdain:
"Unless Jin Dan takes action, they can't do anything to me. Besides, as long as I stay in Luanluo City, even Jin Dan won't dare to take action."
"There are many things they are afraid of."
The old man worries:
"But Chen Ping is not a disciple of our clan. Maybe he won't act according to the routine."
At this time, the vocal performance has begun. The singer in the center of the stage dances gracefully. With the music of the musician, the singer stops and rises with the rhythm.
Qingde admired the singer's dancing and said:
"People are always divided into noble and inferior."
"Just like at this moment, it is His Highness who is enjoying the dance in the private room, but the singer can only show off her figure in the middle of the stage. She cannot even move as she pleases, but is controlled by the musicians."
"Then Chen Ping is like a singer. He was born to live in the quagmire. He always sees young people. How can such a person be able to make waves?"
"If he is really capable, can the Helian family take out the Qilin Fire even if they break their promise and damage the family's reputation?"
Qingde bent his wrist slightly, and a tea cup on the table immediately turned into powder.
In his opinion, as long as he is willing to take action, Chen Ping can be as tragic as this tea set at any time. It's just that he doesn't want to cause trouble at the moment.
Seeing what the old man wanted to say, Qingde said impatiently:
"Okay, let's order tea. You've said enough. You have to remember your identity clearly. You can't just mention everything again and again."
The old man was stunned for a moment and saw the look in His Highness's eyes.
Deeply frightened, he quickly stopped the topic and just slightly raised his hand:
"yes."
After Qingde finished his harsh words, his eyes softened again. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He once again admired his dancing in the center of the stage and said to himself:
"Worry-free tea is supposed to be worry-free, but now, it is full of worries."
"If I can't form an elixir, how can I show off my skills, how can I have the right to speak and openly welcome you back? Now, in order to stabilize my Taoist heart and successfully form an elixir, my future in cultivation has been completely cut off. Can you and I still be destined to be together?"
…
Outer city mansion.
Chen Ping and the Jiuyou Colorful Cicada who flew back finished commiserating with each other. Seeing that everything had gone according to plan, he knew that half the success was achieved.
"Wouyou? Since you like Wuyou so much and will not hesitate to do anything for Wuyou, the day I send you home, you will be completely worry-free."
"Ants?"
"Then let's see who lives and who dies."
Chen Ping put down the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada, calmed down, and continued practicing.
This matter cannot be rushed.
Just take your time.
He has plenty of time and patience.
At this moment, Qingde is under house arrest and cannot use any small means. But no one paid attention to Chen Ping himself. This is a situation where the enemy is overt and we are covert, occupying an absolute advantage.
Two days later, Baili Xianling and Baili Ye visited and brought the two things they had promised to Chen Ping:
Cultivation Manual of the Black Prison Hibiscus Tree.
Hinggan Lingmi seeds and cultivation manual.
"By the way, He Lianzheng has recovered less than half of his body. He wanted to come see Fellow Daoist Chen, mainly to say sorry to you. He never thought it would turn out like this, or that the elders of the family would be so stubborn." Baili Ye He tentatively said that he didn't know what Chen Ping's attitude was.
Chen Pingping didn't have a bad impression of Helian Zheng at first, but he didn't like the way the Helian family did things.
Love a house and a bird, and vice versa.
Naturally, I didn’t have a good impression of He Lianzheng:
"Let him stop coming. What's there to see?"
"Yeah." Bai Linye nodded and said nothing.
Chen Ping changed his mind and said:
"My soul has now fully recovered, and I will return to the Western Wasteland in the near future. It is inconvenient to go back and forth from the outer city to the palace city, so I will not go to the palace city to say goodbye to you two. Today should be the day to say goodbye." Please take the opportunity to express my gratitude to True Lord Silver Moon on my behalf."
"Are you going back?" Baili Xianling answered quickly.
Chen Ping smiled:
"I have to go back, stop and go, it's been almost three years since I came out."
Bailiye sighed:
"It's really fast, but if Fellow Daoist Chen can successfully learn the art of divine refining, this trip is not in vain."
After a pause, Bai Liye seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "It's nothing, maybe I and fellow Taoist Chen will meet again soon."
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment: "What? Fellow Taoist Baili is going to practice again?"
"That's not the case." Bai Linye replied with a smile, then leaned over and lowered his voice:
"Have you ever heard of the Wild Forest? It is said that some secret realms are gradually appearing there. Such new secret realms that have just appeared have always been battlegrounds for monks, and there are many opportunities."
Wild forest?
Of course Chen Ping had heard of it. When he went to Tianyan Sect, he walked north along the west side of Tianyan Domain, where the wild forest was close.
Later, when he set out from Tianyan City to search for medicine, the place where the eight-antlered deer was captured was also the border between the Western Wilderness and the Wild Forest.
Moreover, Yu Lingchun's previous letter seemed to mention that something happened in the Wild Forest, and even a golden elixir from the Tianyan Sect died in it.
"What exactly is the secret realm? What's in it?" Chen Ping asked curiously.
He was just curious.
For him, in a place where even golden elixirs would fall, he would naturally not go there stupidly.
Your life is precious.
"I don't know, don't talk about the secret realm, even if
It's a wild forest that's mysterious enough. ” Bai Linye shook his head.
Speaking of this, he asked Chen Ping again:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you ever thought about why the Western Wilderness is called the Western Wilderness? Obviously the Western Wilderness is not the westernmost part of this continent. There is also a wild forest to the west of the Western Wilderness. It is said that the wild forest is endless and the area is scary."
Chen Ping was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this problem before. It was just a name. But now, listening to Bai Liye's meaning, it seems that there is a certain mystery in it?
"What does this mean?" Chen Ping was confused.
Baili Ye said regretfully:
"I just heard that the wild forest is inaccessible, and almost no monks have established sects in the wild forest. But I have heard that there are many former sect sites deep in the wild forest. As for why there were sects in the past, but now they are gone, I once asked my mother, but my mother's answer was - that is not something we need to worry about, what we need to do is to practice hard, that's all."
This Silver Moon Demon Queen is really.
Things that can be explained clearly in one sentence must be half-covered.
But what Bailiye meant was that because the wild forest was inaccessible and there were no sects, it was for this reason that the Western Wilderness was the westernmost territory of the monks, so it was called the Western Wilderness.
"Are you going to the secret realm to look for opportunities?" Chen Ping asked tentatively again.
Baili Ye smiled bitterly and said:
"With my cultivation speed, how can I achieve a breakthrough without relying on some special opportunities? But it's not now. The secret realms in the wild forest are not suitable for foundation-building monks to venture to. We have to wait until they are stable."
Chen Ping originally wanted to say that such a secret realm could not be simple, and it might be full of dangers. But considering that Bai Linye is a prince, it is impossible not to understand such dangers.
But I have to do it.
Even if he is a prince, he has countless wealth and treasures that other monks can't even imagine. In the face of improving his cultivation, he still needs to work hard to gain opportunities.
Not everyone is like me and can keep adding points by hiding in the mansion.
Immortal fate is hard to find!
