It was already a month later that the news of Lu Xiangbei's defeat reached Lingxiao Sect.
I heard that someone in the Outer Sect's Xiuxian City saw Lu Xiangbei, and Lu Xiangbei mentioned it himself.
now.
Chen Ping held Yun Haitang's hand and walked slowly in Sanxiu City, and could hear the Sanxiu cultivators discussing this matter.
"When did this happen? Where did you compete? Why didn't you hear any movement?"
"I don't know, but it should be true. What Brother Lu said himself, can it be false?"
"I have been studying swordsmanship for three years, but I still lost with one sword. The Green Sword cultivator only used half a move."
"Yes, from now on he will be called Defeat Monk, which coincides with Green Sword Monk."
"..."
Yun Haitang and Chen Ping walked side by side. Occasionally hearing these discussions, they looked at their husband with a smile:
"When did you beat up Lu Xiangbei again?"
this……
"It's not even a beating."
Chen Ping was accustomed to the exaggerations of the Sanxiu City. He held Yun Haitang's hand and slowly appreciated the humanistic customs of the Sanxiu City:
"It's just a test of sword power."
After the reconstruction of Lingxiao Sect, after experiencing the dark years, both the disciples of Lingxiao Sect and the casual cultivators attached to the sect have become more sympathetic, more aware of cherishing the stability in front of them, and more united to the outside world and to the outside world. The monks who undermined the stability of Lingxiao Sect were extremely hostile.
It is precisely for this reason that exaggeration is inevitable every time we encounter something like the Qingjian monk defeating the genius sword repairer Xiangbei.
Yun Haitang smiled and said nothing.
The eyes are softer.
"We haven't walked together like this for a long time." Yun Haitang walked slowly with Chen Ping, feeling extremely relaxed physically and mentally.
It's rare to have leisure.
Because everyone cherishes the stable situation, and the entire Qingyun Territory is unified into a sect, plus the Sanxiu City was intimidated by the sect after moving to the foot of the Zongmen Mountain... Due to multiple reasons, the Sanxiu City is relatively stable today. .
The frequency of Jie Xiu's appearance is much lower than before the accident.
There is a thriving scene everywhere.
Walking in the city where mortals and monks coexist, you can feel the mood and pleasure of taking your family to watch lanterns and visit temples.
Chen Ping also enjoyed this time, holding Yun Haitang's warm little hand:
"Then let's take walks like this more often, forever."
...If only it would last forever... Yun Haitang sighed inwardly.
It took more than twenty years to advance to the eighth level of foundation building this time. Before that, it also took more than ten years to advance from the sixth level to the seventh level of foundation building. The progress was getting slower and slower.
The road to immortality is long, and not everyone is lucky enough to form an elixir.
There is a natural chasm in it.
Breakthroughs cannot be achieved through hard work.
…
Lu Xiangbei's challenge was not just discussed by casual cultivators.
Three days later, when Wei Xun came out of seclusion, a meeting of the core foundation-building monks was also held.
But since no one sees it, they can only talk about it in general terms without coming to any conclusion.
In addition, once the road goes north, there is no pressure on Lingxiao Sect. Instead, everyone focuses on the question of who is the Qingjian monk.
"Master Sima, just tell me if it's you? We're the only ones here, and you're still hiding it." A monk scolded.
"That's right, Lord Sima, you are too unkind." Chen Ping scolded him.
Peak Master Sima:...
Don’t dare to pretend to do this kind of thing easily. You can’t deceive anyone with that sword. If you are pushed to the top position to defend against the enemy, every time someone comes to challenge you, you have to be the first to step forward. The key is to continue. Not being able to use that sword is not just a shameful thing.
"..."
Everyone chatted for a while, but couldn't come to any conclusion, because Feng Yu went to Zhongdao District and lacked such skills.
The meeting ended hastily with the boss leading the topic and holding back the battle.
After the meeting, Wei Xun stopped Chen Ping:
"Master Chen Feng, please stay one step longer."
"Is there something wrong, Master Wei?" Chen Ping just stood up and sat down again.
Wei Xun said bluntly:
"Two years ago, a sect in the northeast of Qingyun Territory had a new leader. That sect was more aggressive and even annexed one of the small sects a few days ago. During this period, I need to spend some energy on external negotiations. On top of that, plus there are other things that prevent me from staying in the sect all the time. I wonder if Master Chen has any travel plans in the next year or two?"
This incident first originated in Border Square City.
The Border Market was a temporary market established when the Lingxiao Sect had just rebuilt it and could not fully open up external trade.
It was an important way for Lingxiao Sect to transfuse blood at that time.
After many negotiations in the past two years, trade channels have actually become more and more open, and even the restrictions on casual cultivators going out of the Qingyun Territory are much looser than before.
In this case, the actual value of the border market is of little value.
However, because Border City was established at the junction of several sects' spheres of influence, it was extremely convenient for several sects to exchange resources.
After several years of settling down, Border Square City has not only survived, but has even become more prosperous.
Many businessmen even settled there.
Mortal villages have also developed in the surrounding area.
This means that benefits can be generated.
Because of this, several sects had quite a dispute over the jurisdiction of the border city. One of the sects, under the leadership of the new head, made a direct surprise attack and annexed another small sect that had a dispute.
At present, it seems that Border Square City is just the appetizer for the expansion of that ambitious sect.
Chen Ping thought for a while and said:
"I probably won't be going out for a year or two. Head Wei wants me to take care of the sect's affairs, right?"
Several peak masters are performing their own tasks. For example, Peak Master Sima is still recruiting talents, and Feng Yu went out to Zhongdao to perform some tasks of the sect at the same time.
If everyone wasn't too busy, Wei Xun would usually not take the initiative to ask Chen Ping.
"That's true. Of course, if Peak Master Sima and others are here, they will take care of it first. Only when they are also out will Peak Master Chen be asked to take charge." Wei Xun said.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Ping promised and asked again:
"Wouldn't a large sect like Tianyan Sect take care of the expansion of the sect at will?"
Wei Xun smiled and said:
"Just sweep the snow in front of your own door and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles - this has always been the case in the world of immortality. Tianyan Sect is not the master of the Western Wilderness, how can it care about such a small matter? As long as it is not too excessive, these large sects have always ignored it The grievances and resentments among the small sects on the border."
Chen Ping didn't know what to say for a while.
But when I think about the fact that the Qingyun Territory was suffering from demon cultivators and these sects also stood by and watched, I felt that this was the case and that I was asking for too much.
Why.
I hope it doesn’t affect Lingxiao Sect.
The two talked for a while about the sect's situation, and then Chen Ping left.
Return to Xiaozhu Peak and continue practicing.
In the following days, such practice time happened every day.
day to day.
The talisman making room.
Chen Ping sat in front of his desk, breathing slowly and calmly, then took the talisman skin, took the talisman pen, and faced the setting sun and began to draw a brand new talisman - the golden armor talisman.
It's been a long time since he drew a talisman.
Most of the second-level talismans can be bought in the market. If you need to use them, just go to the market to buy them. Therefore, if you are not very urgent to earn spiritual stones, drawing talismans will give way to practice.
Nowadays, trying to draw the most difficult golden armor talisman among the second-level talismans is not purely to make money.
There are evil-killing talismans, and there are actually sources of making money.
But Chen Ping decided to improve his proficiency in these talismans.
some.
Not for anything else, just to accumulate knowledge.
If he is lucky enough to form an elixir in the future, whether for making money or for personal use, he will naturally be able to continue practicing the third-level talismans.
At that time, the current accumulation will become valuable experience and become a ladder for climbing to higher mountains.
Not only the golden armor talisman, but also continued to practice the drawing of righteousness talisman, flash talisman, stillness talisman and other talismans during these days.
The most important thing for drawing runes is meditation. Chen Ping calmly held his breath and wrote the runes one stroke at a time, feeling the charm of the law emanating from the spiritual power flowing through the runes.
Um.
It's a familiar taste, a familiar feeling.
Because of the basic foundation of the first-order talisman' amulet, Chen Ping concentrated on drawing and quickly understood some of its essentials. After a few hours, he successfully entered the door.
The more difficult or advanced the talisman is, the more spiritual power it consumes. Chen Ping tested it and found that with his current spiritual power reserve, he could only draw three or four talismans in one breath.
'Just practice it slowly, there's no need to rush it. ,
Time passes.
Chen Ping's various spells are also slowly advancing.
After entering the eighth level of foundation building, he deliberately slowed down his advancement of the realm and had to let his spells and various skills keep up.
I am not Baili Xianling, I don’t have a strong background, and I don’t have the support of Nascent Soul. If the strength cannot keep up with the realm, the ability to protect oneself will be greatly reduced.
That kind of virtual realm is obviously not suitable.
A few months later.
"Xiaohong, is the medicinal bath prepared?" Chen Ping went straight into the medicinal bath room after returning from practicing magic in the back mountain.
Xiaohong was placing medicinal materials in a certain order in the medicine bucket, her face was red from the heat:
"I'll be ready soon, Master, just a moment."
This kind of medicinal bath is now a fixed item that he takes every other day.
During the three years in Demon City, Yu Lingchun sent over many medicated bath bags that she personally prepared.
These medicated bath bags are equipped with top-grade spiritual materials, and the ratio of spiritual materials has been refined with Yu Lingchun's understanding. These are not comparable to those on the market.
More than just medicated bath bags.
He also has the secret snake crystal bone-removing pill.
There is also the common bone refining pill 'Lishen Pill'.
A multi-pronged approach can help you refine your bones quickly.
At this moment, it is already 'Proficient: 999/1000,' and the breakthrough to 'Mastery' is today.
After Xiao Hong prepared the potion, Chen Ping began to practice bone skills while taking a medicinal bath.
Isolated by the net of spiritual power, all the bones in the body were precisely tempered.
soon.
The effect of the medicine in the medicinal bath disappeared, and as the spiritual power circulated, the bones of his lower body began to change color, transforming from their original color to light yellow.
It even glowed with golden light.
But when Chen Ping gathered his spiritual power, the bones returned to their original color again.
[Bone Refining (Mastery): 1/1000. 】
'It's indeed a lot faster. ,
'Go on and practice the muscle-refining techniques that are still a little bit behind until they are perfect. ,
Just do it.
Another two months later.
[Refining the muscles: perfection. 】
So far, this is another body refining spell that has been perfected after the skin refining skill has been perfected.
After completing the muscle training, not only the body is strong, but also the spiritual power reserve is greatly increased.
As one of the important channels for the circulation of spiritual power, tendons also ensure that the transmission of spiritual power is faster and the spell output is smoother and uninterrupted.
Indirectly improves combat effectiveness.
The self-protection ability is higher.
"call."
Chen Ping exhaled a breath and stood up to move around.
It would be better to spend such a peaceful and quiet time cultivating immortality.
Full of happiness.
Chen Ping looked at the sky outside and remembered the power pill he bought before going to Demon City.
Some of them were left in the elixir hall and were not picked up. Then he went out and left.
Thanks to Chen Ping's recommendation, the deacon of the Alchemy Hall at this time has become Ji Yan.
Ji Yan also took the opportunity to support Miao Laoer to help here.
Seeing Chen Ping coming, Ji Yan warmly welcomed Chen Ping in and ordered his disciples to pour good spiritual tea.
"It's thanks to Master Chen that I can get this position. I've been thinking about finding an opportunity to come and say thank you, but I'm afraid it will disturb your Qingxiu." Ji Yan said with a smile.
Chen Ping said calmly:
"The relationship between you and me, Fellow Daoist Ji, there is no need to be polite. Besides, it's just a matter of effort."
Chen Ping, Yun Haitang and Ji Yan are the only three foundation-building monks who have survived from Yunzhong City to the present.
The relationship has always been pretty good.
Even though Ji Yan has now become the deacon of the Pill Hall, he still serves here in the name of a guest of the Yun family. When Ji Yan doesn't have to work, he will actively return to Yuncheng to help with some matters.
For example, the Yun family's mine in the northeast of Qingyun Territory, Ji Yan had been there before to help patrol.
"..."
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping said:
"I came here this time because I had 100 bottles of power pills stored here before. I will take them all together this time."
"Okay, Master Chen Feng, wait a moment, I'll get it right away." Ji Yan went to get the Power Pill himself, wrapped it in a big bag and gave it to Chen Ping for counting.
When he was sorting out the elixirs before, he noticed that Chen Ping stored the power pills here.
After a pause, he asked carefully:
"Is this...Fengzhu Chen taking it himself?"
"If I don't take it myself, how can I buy so much for others?" Chen Ping said with a smile.
Ji Yan took a breath of cold air.
I remembered that not long after I first met Chen Ping in Yunzhong City, after learning about Chen Ping's body training, I once advised Chen Ping not to be obsessed with body training. Not only was it time-consuming and expensive, but it was also very slow.
This is also one of the main reasons for the gradual decline of the body cultivation line.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping had already started refining bones.
"Master Chen Feng has started bone refining? But what valuable experience have you learned?" Miao Laoer is not as calm as Ji Yan. He is a relatively reckless person, otherwise he would not have fallen from the foundation building stage to the current Qi refining stage. Qi, when he heard the power pill, he was surprised.
As a herbalist, Miao Laoer naturally knew that body refining was not an easy task since he had collected many medicinal materials for body refining.
"Where can I get experience? Just insist on taking medicinal baths every day, taking elixirs every day, and practice day after day, and you will naturally improve gradually." Chen Ping shared his experience.
Miao Laoer hesitated... This, this is indeed precious, experience.
Very expensive.
Uninterrupted medicinal baths and elixirs...
What family.
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping left. Looking at Chen Ping's steady steps after successful physical training, Miao Laoer sighed: "He is also a foundation-building monk, how can he be so rich?"
Ji Yan also felt the same emotion in his heart, but what he lamented was not that Chen Ping was rich, but how he got it so quickly.
But when he heard Miao Laoer sighing with emotion, he straightened his waist, regained some balance, coughed, and said slowly:
"You are not Tsuki."
"You..." Miao Laoer was so angry that Ji Yan had been trying to control this all his life, but after a quick thought, he calmed down and said calmly:
"Senior Ji... I heard what you said before. When Chen Feng was the master of body training, he asked Senior Ji for advice on related matters? How come... this..."
Ji Yan's old face turned red and he replied slowly:
"Xiao Miao, when Lord Chen was in the middle stage of foundation building, you were in the late stage of foundation building. Why is it that now that Lord Chen is in the late stage of foundation building, you are practicing Qi? Why are you... why are you going back?"
"you……"
"..."
Chen Ping naturally didn't know that these two guys were still hurting each other.
Return to Xiaozhu Peak and continue practicing hard.
Various data keep jumping on the panel.
