After Wei Xun left, Chen Ping returned to the quiet room.
He took out a pot of unknown wine he brewed, took a sip, and began to practice the Ice Body Divine Code.
Since acquiring this spell, I have not practiced it continuously, and only practice it occasionally.
So after so many years, I have just entered the 'proficient' level.
But this spell is for forming pills, so it’s still early.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
Just practice it slowly.
A few days later.
While Chen Ping was practicing at Xiaozhu Peak, he received a message from the inner disciples and knew that the exchange meeting between the two sects mentioned by Wei Xun was about to begin.
Under Yun Haitang's service, he put on the long-lost Lingxiao Sect Peak Master's standard robe.
Xuanqing knitted gold brocade robe with golden clouds and crane pattern.
"You look really good in the standard robe. You were born to be the master of the peak. You are graceful and majestic. You look more majestic than usual." Yun Haitang smoothed Chen Ping's folds, her eyes full of luster.
This kind of meeting is not a base-building participation.
Instead, the peak master and some core church masters and elders participated.
Generally speaking, the major families in Sanxiu City are relatively independent.
"Don't you look good on weekdays?" Chen Ping said with a smile.
"They all look good." Yun Haitang smiled softly. After taking care of Chen Ping's robe, he looked at it again and felt that her husband was indeed handsome:
"I heard that today's theme is the marriage of two sects. I don't know if there is a beautiful fairy. What's wrong? Look...what do I do? I'm just out of curiosity."
"Are you tired of it?" Chen Ping joked.
"What do I want to eat? If you want a good-looking nun to marry you, just bring her back. Yu Lingchun didn't say anything, what do I want to eat?" Yun Haitang's face showed a blush that revealed his thoughts.
hehe.
I could smell the sour smell from a few meters away.
Chen Ping smiled:
"What kind of female cultivator do I want? I don't even have enough time to practice. You and Yu Lingchun are enough."
Yun Haitang felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't express it. She just urged:
"Okay, let's go. The bell has been ringing for a while."
Chen Ping came out of Xiaozhu Peak and Yu Jian quickly arrived at the main peak hall.
When we arrived, there were already many people in the hall, but the discussion had not yet begun. The monks inside were chatting among themselves, which was quite lively.
When I arrived, I discovered that in addition to the peak master and hall master, there were also some male and female monks of various cultivation realms from low to high. They were basically single monks without a Taoist partner.
From the Lingxiao Sect alone, more than twenty people came.
Excluding those who had gone out or were on missions, more than half of the foundation-building monks were here.
Chen Ping noticed that Peak Master Gong, who invited him to go to the wild forest to look for opportunities, did not show up.
It's been so many years and he still hasn't come back.
Peak Master Sima is not here either.
Chen Ping sat down in his seat. His seat was at the end of the row of peak masters. The neighbor on one side was Feng Yu, and the other side was connected to other hall masters.
The location is not too conspicuous.
After Chen Ping sat down, he turned sideways and asked Feng Yu:
"Master Sima is still recruiting disciples outside?"
Feng Yu shook his head and said softly: "This time we are not recruiting disciples. Master Sima has been hovering on the edge of great enlightenment for several years. He left last year to travel in the hope of successfully achieving great enlightenment."
I see.
Let's just say that he didn't appear at such an important banquet.
In terms of actual status, Master Sima Peak is basically the deputy leader. When Wei Xun was out or in retreat, Lord Sima was basically in charge of the Lingxiao Sect.
Chen Ping paused and said:
"How many monks have come to the sect opposite?"
Feng Yu lowered his voice: "Excluding the master, there are more than ten monks in total, all of whom have foundation-building cultivation."
"Why is it so good? Suddenly the Lord
Dong Dong and Lingxiao Sect are getting married? Chen Ping asked in a low voice.
After experiencing the demonic disaster that year, although the territory of Lingxiao Sect became wider, it suffered a serious loss of talents and its strength was not as good as before.
Wei Xun is the only one left in the Jindan Realm.
On the Xiaoyao Sect side, there are two Jindan masters. The strength is even better.
Feng Yu shook his black hair and hummed:
"Who knows."
"No matter what they think, those female goblins can never get my hands on this monk."
Chen Ping: ..."They are indeed not worthy of being granted the title of Fellow Daoist."
This melancholy look.
This miserable stubble.
"Eh? Why are there still unhealed wounds on Fellow Daoist Feng's face? Did you fight with someone?" Chen Ping then discovered that this guy still had wounds on his face.
Not only his face, but also his arms seemed to be injured, and he couldn't move his left arm freely.
"Haha, yes." Feng Yu smiled.
As a result, Li Feiyu on the other side interrupted:
"Senior Brother Feng, please don't lie. You were obviously injured by a monster. Didn't you tame a second-level monster outdoors recently? You come back with injuries every day."
Li Feiyu's voice was louder, and as soon as he finished speaking, many people around him stopped communicating and looked over.
The air was a few degrees quieter.
Why.
Why bother?
Obviously he wanted to save face, and knowing that there was a banquet coming soon, he still had to go and tame the beast.
Forget it.
You have to let Li Feiyu see it.
Before the few people could talk much, Wei Xun and the head of Xiaoyao Sect walked out of the basement chatting and laughing.
"Fellow Taoists, please sit down. Haha, it's a rare happy day. You don't have to be formal." Wei Xun pressed his hands to indicate that everyone did not need to stand up to salute.
What follows is the normal process of communication between the two parties.
First came the speeches from the leaders of the two parties.
This was followed by self-introductions between the respective monks. Then enter the vocal performance session.
After a period of excitement, the head of Xiaoyao Sect said cheerfully:
"My sect is called Xiaoyao Sect, and your sect is called Lingxiao Sect. They both have the same pronunciation of 'xiao'. The distance between them is less than ten thousand miles, so we should communicate more."
"Haha, it's true." Wei Xun was in a good mood.
After a pause, he pressed his hands again:
"You don't need to be formal and communicate more. I have agreed with Master Ji that if you Taoist friends can see each other and become Taoist couples, you can stay with each other or go to Xiaoyao Sect. You can make your choice freely. "
As soon as these words came out, there was a small commotion below.
Especially the monks who were not satisfied with their current status in the sect began to feel anxious.
"Junior Brother Li, don't just stare blankly. If you can't see, you have to go forward. That's right. Seeing that you have free time every day, you might want to find a Taoist companion to support each other and practice together. But others may not necessarily like you. You." Feng Yu finally caught Li Feiyu's opportunity to cause embarrassment and sarcastically mocked him.
"Tch, women will only affect my state of mind in cultivation." Li Feiyu spoke righteously and looked down on men and women at all.
"Western Regions?" Chen Ping smiled.
This guy had participated in several rounds of bidding in Tianyan City back then.
"Ah? What?" Li Feiyu's face turned red and he pretended not to understand what Chen Ping was saying.
Seeing Feng Yu looking over with bright eyes, Li Feiyu quickly explained:
"Nothing, Master Chen said that the female cultivator might be from the Western Region."
Secretly pointing to a female nun opposite.
Feng Yu looked at Li Feiyu as if he were a fool... Do you think I'm stupid? Does that man look like he's from the Western Regions?
"..."
After communicating for a while, there was another round of competition between men and women.
Aiming to increase communication between respective monks.
During this period, the head of Xiaoyao Sect said:
"Headmaster Wei, I heard about your sect.
In the past few years, the Qingjian monk had twice defeated Jian Xiu's journey to the north. My granddaughter is also a good swordsman. She insisted on coming here after hearing about this. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to have my granddaughter and the Green Sword monk learn a lesson or two today? "
After saying this, a little girl who had been sitting quietly and obediently next to the head of Xiaoyao Sect, paying more attention to the plate of spiritual fruit snacks in front of her, stood up and bowed to everyone in a decent manner.
A spiritual fruit that I secretly grabbed in my hand accidentally fell down, which was very hidden.
But Chen Ping could see clearly from this angle.
The little girl caught a glimpse of Chen Ping's gaze, blinked her big eyes, sat back straight, and pretended that nothing happened.
Seeing her, Chen Ping inadvertently thought of another foodie, Zhang Xianqiu.
I haven't seen her for so many years, and I don't know if her father and son are still well.
This is the case in the world of immortality.
Especially for low-level monks, in many cases a separation may last a lifetime.
Not only Zhang Zheng and his daughter, but also He Xianxiang who they met in Lianyuncheng.
Most of the guests and servants who once worked together in Ning Mansion also parted ways.
All things change, nothing remains static.
Hearing this, Wei Xun looked careless and said:
"I'm really sorry. It's not that I didn't mean it. It's just that the Qingjian monk is extremely low-key and doesn't like such lively occasions. I can't force it, so please forgive me."
He neither stated who the Qingjian cultivator was, nor publicly claimed that he did not know who the Qingjian cultivator was.
Fuzzification.
"That's it. That's a pity." The head of Xiaoyao Sect said regretfully.
Everyone seems to have heard about the Qingjian monk's hidden attribute, so although there is regret at this moment, it does not affect his elegance.
Then play music, then dance.
After communicating for a while, the banquet ended.
Among them, two pairs of Taoist friends announced that they would become Taoist couples, which was equivalent to the two sects each exchanging a female cultivator without any loss to each other.
Then they dispersed.
Back at Xiaozhu Peak, Yun Haitang came out of the quiet room and inadvertently looked behind Chen Ping.
Chen Ping smiled:
"What? There's someone behind me?"
"Ah? No, nothing." Yun Haitang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled:
"I really won't stop you. In addition to those who are single, there are many Taoist companions who build foundations. Besides, Yu Lingchun can't come back for decades, and I don't often stay with Xiaozhufeng. It's normal for you to accept a Taoist companion. I'm just Just curious."
"I see that you are very energetic and look like you are asking for a beating." Chen Ping picked her up and walked into the inner palace.
"It's only daytime."
"..."
The next day.
"Now that you have reached the eighth level of foundation building, let me teach you how to practice the Jade Fox and the Mysterious Code. I don't know if it will work, but I have to give it a try." Chen Ping said.
The Jade Lifting Mystic Code usually has to be learned on the God Refining Island. Only a small number of geniuses can realize it themselves and are not restricted by any external factors.
Chen Ping's current understanding of the Mysterious Code of Jade Lifting is beyond ordinary people, and his useful knowledge is unmatched by others.
But this still does not mean that Yun Haitang can learn it.
Everyone is different.
The power of enlightenment is different, the physique is different, the state of mind is different, and the optimal fit for the flow of spiritual power is also different...
Even if there is enough practical information, it does not mean that it can be copied and pasted.
Yun Haitang naturally knew this.
"Well, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, it's okay for me to change to other human refining techniques." Yun Haitang nodded.
That means the devil is always there.
I need to continue taking the Awakening Pill.
We can even think of other ways to eliminate it after reaching the golden elixir.
Chen Ping first taught Yun Haitang all the magic techniques in the secret code at one go, and then shared some of his introductory experiences with her one by one.
"Remember?"
"remember."
"That's good. This matter is not something that can be solved in one fell swoop. It also took me a long time to get started on Lian Shen Island. You should remember these essentials first, and then practice slowly. Just take your time. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask me again." Chen Ping explained.
"Yeah." Yun Haitang said seriously.
Day after day.
Yun Haitang is busy with family affairs and self-cultivation.
Chen Ping is immersed in self-cultivation.
More than a year passed like this.
This day.
After Chen Ping practiced magic in the back mountain for a while, he returned to the mansion, told Xiao Hong and the others to thank the guests behind closed doors, and then entered the cave for retreat.
In the more than six years since he returned from the Demon City, he has mainly practiced various spells in order to keep his strength up to date.
It will not be empty realm.
But even so, the cultivation of skills has not completely fallen behind.
The third-turn Qingyuan Gong has reached the level of Dacheng.
Therefore, six years have passed, and now the realm has reached 'Foundation Building (Eighth Floor): 98/100. ,
In the next period of time, it may be possible to break through to the ninth level of foundation building soon.
Chen Ping activated the defensive formation and closed the stone gate.
Focus on practicing the Three Turns of Qingyuan Gong.
When I look inside, I feel like a top fisherman.
He could see clearly where and what fish there were in the deep lake.
Not only that, how to put bait, how much is appropriate, and when is the best time to put bait.
All this has a clear name in his mind.
What's more, after the hook is thrown, the bait has an irresistible attraction for the fish, and they take the bait voluntarily.
In his practice, the fishhook and bait are his spiritual power that operates according to the practice.
The fish, on the other hand, represent its own shortcomings that need to be further expanded and optimized.
The process is precise but lengthy.
More than twenty days later.
There were no fish left in the lake, all had been caught.
In his body, with the completion of the last bit of transformation, the flow of spiritual power became unimpeded.
The extremely fast flowing spiritual energy spread out instantly.
At the same time, Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes, pressed down his hands, completed the last Zhoutian movement, and exhaled.
Panel data appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Chen Ping. 】
[Lifespan: 58/358. 】
[Realm: Foundation Building (ninth level): 1/100. 】
【……】
Chen Ping was delighted when he saw the data.
Finally the ninth floor of the foundation was built.
It has been 46 years since I came to this world of cultivating immortals.
It's really not easy.
As a casual cultivator with no clues, he has gone from the first level of Qi training to where he is today, step by step, for 46 years.
Now he is 58 years old.
This is also in the world of immortality. In the world before Chuan, he was already a bad old man who was about to retire and half of his body was buried in the loess.
But now he has a life span of 358 years. Even if his age is deducted, he still has 300 years to live.
He only lived one-sixth of his lifespan.
About the level of middle school and high school.
Thinking about it this way, I am indeed still very young.
I've been away for half my life, but I'm still a teenager when I return.
