The next day.
Chen Ping gave the first-order monster to Yun Haitang and asked him to sell it on his behalf. The first-level monster didn't live without food and had already died without eating. However, Chen Ping used ice to freeze it, so the meat could still be sold again.
At the same time, he also gave Yun Haitang the seeds and cultivation manual of Xing'an Lingmi, and informed her of the characteristics and origin of this purple Lingmi:
"The spiritual energy utilization rate of this kind of spiritual rice is much higher than that of ordinary spiritual rice. First find a spiritual land with suitable soil conditions and plant it to try. If it is feasible, it would be a good planting direction."
The Qingyun Domain is large enough for a single Lingxiao Sect, with enough planting area.
If this kind of spiritual rice can really be grown, maybe it can be promoted throughout the sect.
The blessing is still great.
"Well, I have arranged for my disciples to plant them recently." Yun Haitang carefully received the seeds and cultivation manual and raised his head:
"By the way, are you still short of spiritual stones now? The harvest of Butterfly Evening Primrose has been pretty good over the years, with a net harvest of almost seven to eight hundred middle-grade spiritual stones every year."
The current Mu Hongli is just enough. When the beast control skills are practiced more deeply, the water quality will be better, and the quality of Butterfly Soul Evening Primrose will also be better.
The harvest will then be further improved.
"I'll leave it to you first. I need spirit stones for further optimization of Xiaozhu Peak." Chen Ping smiled.
He still owes the Yun family 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.
According to Dieling Evening Primrose's current income, it can be paid off in more than ten years.
Not bad either.
A little adds up to a lot.
Afternoon.
Chen Ping went to the main peak and met Ning Xiaoqi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
On the way to the inner palace with Ning Xiaoqi to meet the leader, Chen Ping did not hide his cultivation at the moment. The eighth level of foundation building was not outstanding for a peak master, and the promotion speed was not an absolute genius. There was no need to hide it.
This made Ning Xiaoqi slightly stunned:
"Fellow Daoist Chen has built the eighth level of foundation?"
Chen Ping turned to look at Ning Xiaoqi and said:
"Well, Fellow Daoist Ning is also very fast. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ning, you have reached the sixth level of foundation."
Ning Xiaoqi paused.
This sentence was reversed for her. In the past, others would first praise her for being fast, and then she would say, "You're pretty fast too."
Now I have become the target of the latter sentence.
However, she was not discouraged. She had been building the foundation for more than 20 years and had built six levels. She was already very satisfied with this speed.
She secretly made up her mind again in her heart that she must practice hard to catch up with Chen Ping, and then she and Chen Ping could discuss the Tao together on an equal footing.
You can definitely catch up.
In the head's inner palace.
Chen Ping met Wei Xun, and Feng Yu was with him.
This guy no longer smells bad, and he is probably no longer obsessed with studying Butterfly Evening Primrose.
After the ceremony, Chen Ping succinctly told some of the divine refining techniques that he had found.
Wei Xun couldn't help but congratulate him.
Chen Ping took out what was auctioned in Luanluo City:
"This jade slip is a Hunyuan divine refining technique. I thought it would be beneficial to eliminate evil spirits after all, so I brought it back. The master can take it. If there are any Taoist friends who are willing to practice it, you might as well give it a try. "
Wei Xun naturally knew the difficulty of this kind of divine refining technique.
However, there are dozens of Lingxiao Sect's foundation disciples and guest ministers. There will definitely be some monks who hope to eliminate the demonic energy through this kind of divine refining technique, but they suffer from the lack of skills.
This technique can be of great help.
Wei Xun felt happy and took the jade slip:
"Master Chen Feng is a righteous man, so I accepted it. This matter can help Mr. Chen Feng remember his merits. By the way, how many spiritual stones did Master Chen spend to get it? My sect will compensate Master Chen according to the price, and we cannot let Master Chen suffer a loss." .”
Chen Ping said politely:
"It's just more than 400 medium-grade spiritual stones. There is no need for the leader to give them. It can be regarded as my contribution to the sect."
This sentence is true.
He has been the Peak Master of Lingxiao Sect for so many years, and among other things, he has received a lot of salary every year.
He occupies the position of peak master, but he has not contributed much to the sect in these years. He has not taken on any tasks, and he has not even brought any disciples. Wei Xun has fully fulfilled his promise back then.
This technique can be regarded as a proper way to give back to the sect.
"Hey, how can that be done? Master Chen Feng traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to bring back important divine refining techniques. This in itself is a contribution to the sect. How can Master Chen be allowed to pay for it out of his own pocket? If that were the case, then who would be willing to do so? Pay for the sect?" Wei Xun said solemnly and cheerfully:
"Since there are more than 400 medium-grade spiritual stones, I will add 500 to Master Chen. Then when Master Chen receives his annual reward, he can collect it from the General Affairs Hall together."
Since Wei Xun said so, Chen Ping didn't shirk anymore.
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping asked for advice:
"May I ask if the master knows anything about taming beasts? I captured a monster some time ago and am thinking about how to use it for my own use."
"Taming animals?" Wei Xun said, "I do know a little bit about this matter."
From Wei Xun's introduction, Chen Ping learned some knowledge about animal taming.
Taming and controlling animals complement each other and are integrated.
Taming the beast is the front end of the beast control. Only when the monster beast becomes a spirit beast can it complete the master recognition ceremony and let the spirit beast be used by oneself and exert various values.
Beast taming involves taming monsters into spiritual beasts, removing their wildness and improving their controllability.
Therefore, the art of taming animals is also called the art of "taming birds".
The Beast Taming Technique is the same as the Beast Controlling Technique. For monks before the Golden Core, they can only tame/control monsters or spiritual beasts whose cultivation level is lower than theirs. This is the purpose of the major beast-controlling sects to protect the monks and avoid being manipulated by beasts. Injury, and artificially increased limitations in beast control spells.
This is almost the unspoken rule of all sects.
But after the golden elixir, the monks' methods will be greatly enriched, and the monks' control over the beasts will be greatly increased. The beast taming spells inherited by each sect will no longer be limited to controlling monsters whose cultivation level is lower than one's own.
In this case, what matters is the tamer/tamer's own methods and strength.
Chen Ping was moved.
'It's not an option to keep buying spirit beasts. High-end monsters are difficult to tame into spirit beasts. Not only are they expensive, but they are also rare. Not much choice. '
'If you know how to tame birds and animals, your limitations will not be so great. When we went to the Endless Forest, there were quite a lot of monsters. '
'And in the future, if there are some powerful monsters, they can fight for themselves, and they will have more means of self-protection. '
Kill multiple birds with one stone.
It’s good to think about.
Wei Xun continued to introduce:
"Beast Taming and Taming has its own sect in the world of immortality. It can be established as a sect. This is the case with the Tianyan Sect's Fengqi Sect, and the same is true with the Beast Taming Sect in Zhongdao District. Some exceptionally outstanding beast masters can control beasts higher than The combat power of a monster beast that has been cultivated to several levels, or even a large realm, has been greatly increased."
"But this spell is not easy, it requires talent. And there is an eternal truth in the world of immortality, that is, the more spells you learn, the more time-consuming it is. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone become a beast master?"
Chen Ping naturally understood Wei Xun's worries.
Spells are difficult to practice. The more you practice, the more time-consuming it will be. You will end up biting off more than you can chew. Time is quite precious to practitioners.
Not to mention anything else, Chen Ping has been practicing the Qingmang Sword intermittently for more than 20 years, and this is when there is a panel. How difficult is it for other monks?
In this case, most monks would rather specialize in a certain spell and practice it until they are proficient in it, rather than pooling the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
But this is Chen Ping's biggest advantage.
He can learn things that others cannot learn, and he can save a lot of time on things that others would spend a lot of time on, especially when there are low-level spells as the basis.
And ultimately reap huge benefits.
A single method is too easy to be targeted.
Chen Ping cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I still want to give it a try. It should be considered as some adjustments in the practice process. If the effect is not great, then give up. May I ask if these beast-taming secrets are sold to the outside world in these beast-taming sects?"
Wei Xun hummed:
"If it's a low-level spell, it should be purchased directly in the Immortal City. If it's a high-level spell, it usually has to be bid at an auction. Didn't Feng Yu want to go to Zhongdao District recently? You can just ask Feng Yu to bid on your behalf. Feng Yu, Feng Yu..."
Feng Yu was called twice before he came back to his senses:
"Ah, yes, I want to go to Zhongdao District in the near future. If I can find some spells, I can help Daoist Chen take some pictures."
Feng Yu was also a little moved after hearing Wei Xun's explanation of the power of spiritual beasts.
The imperial envoy captures two more monsters that are more powerful than him and gives them to his Invincible Peak guardian. He will roar twice when anyone comes, which makes him look majestic just thinking about it.
It doesn't matter whether you are powerful or not.
What's important is that it's so cool.
Feng Yu felt itchy.
This kind of opportunity to shine must not be snatched away by Chen Ping alone.
"Then I'd like to ask Peak Master to help me search for it, thank you." Chen Ping said quickly.
"Haha, wherever it is, it's easy to do it with a little effort."
Next, Chen Ping told Feng Yu what he needed, and advanced 1,000 medium-grade spiritual stones to Feng Yu to do it for him.
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping left.
…
Returning to Xiaozhu Peak, Chen Ping began to practice the Muhongli Beast Controlling Technique. The current Beast Controlling Technique is at the 'Expert' level, and he strives to reach the Grandmaster or even Perfection level as soon as possible.
Aura and water quality are the ecological foundation of Xiaozhu Peak.
If these two items are improved, Xiaozhufeng can carry out larger-scale transformation, making this place of practice suitable for long-term practice.
With a trace of spiritual communication, a vortex stirred up at the bottom of Xiaozhu Lake, and a pair of Mu Hong carp swooped out.
Show your kindness to Chen Ping.
…This pair of carp are becoming more and more spiritual.
Chen Ping smiled knowingly and began to gain proficiency.
Sunrise and sunset.
In the following time, Chen Ping hardly left Xiaozhu Peak, living in seclusion and busy practicing.
He has a lot of time to do.
For example, winemaking is one of them.
Nearly three years have passed, and the stock of nameless wine has been exhausted, and another batch has to be brewed.
In the past three years, Yu Lingchun has sent a large amount of high-grade spiritual materials, which is enough for practical use. Some fresh high-grade spiritual materials were planted on Xiaozhu Peak by Xiaocui and the others. Some died, while some survived and were barely usable.
In addition to making wine, we will also make up for the spells that have been lost in the past three years.
For example, Ice Body Divine Code, Heavenly Punishment Thunder, etc.
Three months later.
In the quiet room, Chen Ping pressed down his hands and completed the practice of a big week.
[Third turn Qingyuan Gong: 1/100. 】
'call. '
'Proficient. '
After three rounds, the technique's guidance for oneself becomes clearer and clearer, and as the level increases, this guidance becomes smoother and smoother.
In this case, cultivation becomes smoother and smoother.
This is also the main reason why even when he reaches the late stage of foundation building, he is not much slower than the early stage of foundation building.
Chen Ping took a sip of the spiritual material, breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.
Goudan outside the window was wearing a beautiful dress, squatting on the ground and looking through some dried spiritual materials.
A few years passed, and the three maids all grew up.
Everyone knows how to love beauty.
Chen Ping walked out.
Seeing the owner coming out, Goudan quickly stood up:
"Master~"
Chen Ping hummed in response, paused and said, "I heard Xiaohong and the others chatting a few days ago, saying that you liked Little Lotus very much when you were a child?"
Goudan nodded, wondering why the head of the family suddenly mentioned this.
Her personality is not as lively as Xiaohong's. She has been here for so long, and she still feels a little awkward when facing Chen Pingping.
At this moment, he just lowered his head slightly.
Chen Ping smiled:
"In that case, what do you think about changing your name to Lotus?"
Goudan suddenly raised his head, overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
I couldn't hide my happiness.
…
On this day, while Chen Ping was practicing the jade raccoon spirit refining technique, he completely released his spiritual consciousness, and suddenly found a familiar aura intruding into the range of his spiritual consciousness.
Because the distance was too far, Chen Ping couldn't see the other person clearly, but this aura made him vaguely suspect that he was the same person——
——The road goes north?
Is this guy here again?
Chen Ping was speechless, thinking of the three-year agreement that Lu Xiangbei had made when he left after his defeat. It seemed that he had thought of a countermeasure and came to challenge again.
After thinking about it, Chen Ping suddenly flew out of Xiaozhu Peak.
On the way, he changed his face to that of Guan Yu.
After getting closer to dozens of miles, Chen Ping realized that he was really heading north with a confident face.
At this moment, Lu Xiangbei should have sensed that Chen Ping was on his way, so he stood there with a sword and waited quietly.
"Are you here?" Chen Ping arrived in an instant.
"I am coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"Why?" Lu Xiangbei was surprised.
It's nothing, I'm just making a joke... Chen Ping didn't open his eyes, and his beautiful beard was floating back in the breeze. He flew out with a swish: "Since we are competing, then come with me."
This place is still a little closer to the sect. Let’s compare it to a place farther away.
Lu Xiangbei followed immediately without hesitation.
After walking for more than three hundred miles, the two stopped.
As soon as he stopped, Lu Xiangbei unsheathed an ancient sword with a clang, and shouted impatiently:
"My surname is Guan. I have practiced swordsmanship for three years and learned countless swordsmanship. Then I have understood your Qingmang sword. Come on, open your eyes and let you see what true swordsmanship is."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient sword in his hand was immediately released. The ancient sword changed, and countless flames burned on the ancient sword.
"The green light is so cold, I want to see if it can penetrate the fire of my Ten Thousand Swords."
As he spoke, countless sword energies suddenly appeared, sweeping in with unstoppable power.
The air became hot.
But at this moment, a larger green light came down with overwhelming sword intent.
'Why are you so strong? '
It was obviously not this strong three years ago.
Lu Xiangbei was shocked, and he immediately concentrated all his spiritual power and wielded the strongest sword in his life.
"Ding, ding, ding~"
His flaming sword energy was quickly split open, and countless sword intentions gradually disappeared.
There is an ominous feeling about the road heading north.
He found that under the cover of the green sword, he began to feel fear, and for a moment he had the idea of giving up.
This sword actually attacks the heart.
"Pfft~"
Lu Xiangbei was shrouded by the sword intent that blocked the sky. He knelt down uncontrollably and spat out a mouthful of blood with a pop.
At the same time, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.
The road suddenly looks up to the north:
"What is this sword called?"
I worked hard for three years and studied hard, but I didn't expect that in the end I would lose more simply than three years ago.
Chen Ping said calmly:
"It doesn't matter what you call it. What's important is that this world is very big and the sword is boundless. Friends, don't be obsessed with winning or losing in the moment, don't draw a prison for yourself, and miss out on the more beautiful scenery."
"The road of hegemony that Taoist friends take is the way of challenge, and what is understood is the meaning of the sword. The important thing is not to win all the time, but to win yourself and get out of your own confinement and cage. Only in this way can you win." The true meaning of duel.”
"The day when fellow Taoists no longer insist on coming over to challenge me, then you will truly have stepped out of your own way."
The road was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping suddenly started to talk sense.
He was in a daze and didn't fully understand what Chen Ping meant for a while, but he still nodded:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the tip."
Chen Ping didn't say much. I don't know if what he said just now frightened Lu Xiangbei, but generally speaking:
The shorter a sentence is, the easier it is to pretend to be profound.
Adding anything more would be superfluous.
I hope Lu Xiangbei can conquer it on his own, realize some truth, and stop challenging him again.
Otherwise, three years after another, why bother?
Chen Ping snorted pretending to be profound, turned around and left quickly like a master.
After walking for more than a hundred miles, his spiritual consciousness saw that Lu Xiangbei stayed where he was for a long time, then turned around and left, not continuing towards the Lingxiao Sect, so Chen Ping continued to return to the sect.
In the next two days, Chen Ping secretly inquired about the news about Sanxiu City while practicing. He never heard about Lu Xiangbei's continued journey, nor did he say anything harsh about the three-year agreement, so he was completely relieved.
Continue to indulge in your own practice.
Some people died, but not completely...
