Now that he had decided to go out, Chen Ping immediately began to prepare for his outing.
He first went to the General Affairs Hall and withdrew the compensation for being the master of Keqing Peak for the past fifteen years and the incentive money for Xing'an Purple Spirit Rice for the remaining eight years.
There are a total of 200 high-grade spiritual stones and 500 medium-grade spiritual stones.
After coming out of the General Affairs Hall, I went straight to the Pill Hall.
After starting marrow refining five years ago, after eating the Purple Heart Marrow Pill, I came here to borrow 100 bottles of ordinary marrow refining pill - Taiyi Famui Pill.
The peak leader has the privilege of borrowing certain resources on credit.
One bottle of Taiyi Cutting Marrow Pill contains 2 high-grade spiritual stones. After discounting 100 bottles, 190 high-grade spiritual stones were spent.
After returning the 190 high-grade spiritual stones, Chen Ping did not replenish the Taiyi Marrow Pill.
The efficacy of this elixir is quite good, and the interval between taking it is long. There are still more than ten bottles left.
The Marrow Refining Technique has now reached Grandmaster: 876/1000, and is not far from perfection.
These ten bottles are enough.
Instead, I spent 300 medium-grade spiritual stones to replenish some elixirs and talismans such as Rejuvenation Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill.
When you are away from home, you will inevitably have needs.
Chen Ping returned to Xiaozhu Peak and asked Xiaohong to notify Yun Haitang, while he continued to clean up.
First, I poured out all the spiritual stones in the storage bag and figured out my financial situation.
There are many spiritual stones.
In the eight years after entering the ninth level of foundation building, he drew a lot of golden armor talismans because of the pressure to make money.
There are basically 2-3 outputs every day.
There are 8,100 pieces in total, all of which were given to Yun Haitang for sale some time ago.
This kind of talisman is relatively expensive and is mainly targeted at foundation-building monks and a small number of wealthy Qi-refining monks. It is not easy to sell in Lingxiao Sect.
The base of this type of monks is still too small.
But the Yun family has external channels and can wholesale it.
This batch of talismans yielded 160 high-grade spiritual stones and 200 medium-grade spiritual stones.
In addition, the harvest of Butterfly Soul Evening Primrose is increasing day by day, and currently there is a net profit of more than 2,000 medium-grade spiritual stones every year.
A few days ago, Yun Haitang gave a total of 100 high-grade spiritual stones, and the rest were used as reserves for the continued operation of Xiaozhufeng Spiritual Field and the cultivation of some expensive spiritual materials.
The property that had been used to kill the three cultivators Qin had been secretly sold by the Yun family in the past two years, in exchange for more than 700 medium-grade spiritual stones.
His current number of spirit stones:
[Top-grade spiritual stones: 281; medium-grade spiritual stones: 433. 】
'Now there are 281 high-grade spiritual stones left, and several hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, which should be enough for me to go out. ,
'It's best to bring a talisman pen. If you are really financially strapped, you can improvise and draw some more talismans. ,
Thinking of this, Chen Ping put all the tools for drawing talismans into his storage bag, as well as all the consumables such as talisman ink and talisman skin.
Talisman-making tools are no exception.
'While traveling, it is inevitable to move around. To be on the safe side, you must also bring the Dragon Hidden Spirit Gathering Formation, the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Formation and the Six Suns and Six Yao Formations. ,
'You can bring more than ten sets of ordinary Taoist robes, which are convenient for use together with body transformation. ,
'Well, bring a set of futons and quilts for meditating, just in case you need them. ,
'Bring a stool too. ,
'This kind of stool is made of special spiritual wood, which is beneficial to monks who practice sedentary practice for a long time. If they have to stay in the virgin forest, this kind of stool is much better than sitting on Qingyan. ,
Anyway, one of the largest storage bags alone is 30 square meters, which is enough space.
As for the bed…
Forget it, leave the bed to Yun Haitang.
'However, when you go to the next city of cultivating immortals, you can buy a better one, one that can gather spirits and help monks practice. ,
tidy
After collecting these necessities, he went out to explain to Xiaohong, the others and Yunfeng.
When he returned to the inner palace, Yun Haitang had already returned.
Seeing Chen Ping enter the room, Yun Haitang came up to him immediately, took Chen Ping's hand and sat down together on the edge of the bed:
"Are you ready to go out?"
Chen Ping sat down with her on his knees, held her soft little hand, and said:
"I went to see Master Sima today. I heard yesterday that he successfully formed the elixir. I didn't expect that I would find out it was a fake elixir when I saw him today. I feel pressured now and have to travel around."
To be honest, Chen Ping was really nervous for a while when he saw the situation of Master Sima today.
In terms of the number of years he has spent entering the ninth level of foundation building, he is far inferior to Peak Master Sima.
His knowledge of the natural world is far less than that of Master Sima.
As a result, Sima Peak Master is like this, but his talent is even worse. Who knows what will happen.
But now that he calmed down, he actually had a certain degree of confidence in himself.
The strength of his soul, the bonus of body refining, the tempering of the ice body divine code, the true energy reserve that is 350% stronger than that of ordinary monks, the transformation speed of gold needs blessing... these are all his advantages.
Advantages that others may not have.
There is no need to be overly nervous, just take it step by step.
When the water comes, it will take care of itself.
"Master Sima Feng made a fake elixir?" Yun Haitang was also stunned.
"yes."
Yun Haitang's little hand held by Chen Ping tightened subconsciously. What she heard yesterday was the whole sect's disciples' joyful discussion about Master Sima's elixir formation. She never thought that there was such sadness behind it.
After coming back to her senses, she smiled softly:
"My husband is different. My husband will definitely be able to form elixirs, and he will live forever in the future."
Even so, her slender catkins moved again and again unconsciously.
Obviously worried about Chen Ping.
Although my husband has always performed very well, the golden elixir is a big hurdle and extremely dangerous.
If you are unable to gain great insights, it is simply because you are unable to improve. However, if there are deviations in the process of receiving the elixir, there are many cases of death due to the elixir cracking.
Chen Ping smiled, changed his position and sat down next to her, held her in his arms and explained:
"I won't take the Eight-Antlered Deer away, I'll leave it to you. It's half-step to the golden elixir, and maybe it will reach the third level someday. Its combat power is still very good. I feel relieved to stay with you."
This time I left, it was different from before.
Every time I left, it was only for two or three years at most.
And this time I went to travel in the clouds in order to achieve great enlightenment.
It’s hard to say how long this process will take.
It could take as little as a few months to come back, or as long as more than ten years, or even decades.
Peak Master Sima went out for more than ten years before returning.
Staying with Yun Haitang for such a long time can provide an extra layer of security.
The Eight-Antlered Deer has recognized Chen Ping as its owner. As long as the contract does not disappear, and the beast control skills have now reached the "Grandmaster" level, its loyalty to Chen Ping is already very high.
As long as Chen Ping gives it an order to protect Yun Haitang, it will naturally carry out such orders all year round.
Yun Haitang turned his head slightly and looked at his husband: "There's no need to stay. It's much more dangerous for you to go out than for me in Lingxiao Sect. The Eight-Antlered Deer has good fighting ability, and you have an extra helper by your side."
Chen Ping smiled:
"It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of discretion. I'll leave the beast control token to you later."
When you reach the eighth level of foundation building, you can easily defeat the Eight-Antlered Deer.
Now that the foundation is at the ninth level, the combat power of the Eight-Antlered Deer cannot be of much help to him.
But it is of great significance to Yun Haitang.
Apart from anything else, the presence of the eight-antlered deer's deterrent power can make other hostile forces fearful.
After a pause, he continued to explain:
"This time I am out, I don’t know when I will be able to return.
Come. If we encounter something that cannot be solved these years, even if the matter is so big that Lingxiao Sect cannot solve it. Yes, you can try to go to Tianyan Sect to find Fairy Xiyue. "
"I will go to Tianyan City during this trip and bring more than ten years of spiritual wine with me. If I can see Fairy Xiyue, I will try my best to mention this matter to her."
That girl likes this unknown wine, so I promise to give her a few more bottles of wine in the future.
As long as the difficulty of the incident is not very high, maybe Fairy Xiyue can help.
If Nascent Soul takes action, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
Yun Haitang in her arms trembled slightly, looking at her husband with a sweet heart.
He hummed softly.
Then she seemed to think of something. She struggled up from Chen Ping's arms and took out a small storage bag:
"Take this with you. There are 100 high-grade spiritual stones in it. I don't need so many spiritual stones now. I originally planned to have such a day, and this spiritual stone was originally saved for you."
Chen Ping felt warm in his heart.
After being together for so many years, unlike Yu Lingchun who was completely attached to Chen Ping, Yun Haitang had his own source of income and his cultivation level was much higher.
Over the years, Chen Ping didn't pay much to her. On the contrary, she was always thinking of ways to subsidize Chen Ping.
This is especially true after entering the later stage of foundation building and when the costs become larger.
Chen Ping thought for a while and accepted it generously.
When you go out, it is always good to bring more spiritual stones.
"By the way, when are you leaving?" Yun Haitang asked.
Chen Ping nodded:
"In three days, I will leave with Feng Yu."
"Well, then I will be at Xiaozhu Peak these days and will not go to Sanxiu City." Yun Haitang's voice was clear.
"..."
Three days were spent between Chen Ping and his wife, during which time Chen Ping went to talk to Wei Xun and received the fire liquid. Yun Haitang once again took care of Chen Ping's luggage for the trip.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.
"Going out..." Yun Haitang originally wanted to say to be careful in everything, but thinking of Chen Ping's cautious behavior, it seemed redundant to remind him, so he stopped speaking.
Just tidying up the robe for Chen Ping:
"Waiting for you to return after forming a pill."
"Okay." Chen Ping smiled.
He and Yun Haitang walked out of the mansion hand in hand, only to find that Yun Lingshan had also arrived.
Seeing Chen Ping getting ready to go, Yun Lingshan smiled softly:
"Master Chen Feng, I wish you success in forming the elixir."
"Thank you."
"..."
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping took out the wind-splitting shuttle and flew out with a whoosh. After meeting Feng Yu who was waiting for Chen Ping in the air, he quickly headed north.
Because they were traveling in the clouds, the two of them did not go all out.
To be on the safe side, we even stopped to rest from time to time. When we encountered some mortal villages, we would occasionally stop for a while.
Stop and go along the way.
Three months later, the two of them arrived at Tianyan City. They calculated the time and the sermon meeting would not be held until ten days later.
Entering Tianyan City, which they had been away from for a long time, the two found an inn to stay.
Then Feng Yu left to see his old friend.
Chen Ping also went out and visited the residences of Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou.
When I arrived, I didn't see any adults, but I saw a little kid in the yard, humming and dancing with a short wooden sword.
The little kid with two buns on his head, about four or five years old, was not afraid when he saw Chen Ping, and rushed over with a wooden sword:
"Thieves, don't be arrogant. Look at this girl's sword, ah ah ah ah."
Chen Ping:......
A force of spiritual power pressed against her head.
The kid was immobilized and could only extend his short arms and stab at Chen Ping's body with his dagger, but the sword was a little too short and could not hit Chen Ping's body.
The little kid pushed his head forward hard in an attempt to close the distance.
"Ah!" Chen Ping cried out in pain.
The little kid stopped moving again and put his hands on his hips:
"Hmph, are you scared? My father said that this girl is invincible among her peers in this courtyard."
Chen Ping turned around and looked around.
Your father didn't lie to you.
You are the only person of your generation in this courtyard.
"I'm afraid, Heroine, please put your sword away first. The sword is too sharp. If it stabs me, I'll be in trouble. What's your name?" Chen Ping motioned to Heroine to stop.
"My name is Lin Qingqing, my mother's name is Lin Anli, and my father's name is Lin Changshou. My grandfather's name is... I don't have a grandfather." The little kid inserted the wooden sword into his waist with a very graceful movement.
Chen Ping:......
She is really Lin Changshou's daughter. It seems that these two people have not moved away.
"Where is your father?" Chen Ping asked.
"My dad?" The little kid thought of something and looked at Chen Ping warily:
"Uncle, who are you? My father said not to tell important information to strangers."
Good guy.
This kid has a future at first glance.
Lin Changshou made a lot of money.
"Qingqing, who are you talking to?" Maybe she heard the exchanges in the yard, and a female nun came out of the house.
It was Lin Changshou's Taoist companion.
Seeing Chen Ping, the female cultivator was stunned for a moment, then recognized him and hurriedly greeted:
"So it's Senior Chen who's here? Please come in quickly... Changshou, Changshou, Senior Chen is here."
While talking, Lin Changshou quickly walked out of the house.
Perhaps listening to the noise here, Guo Zizhao and his wife also walked out of the house.
After a while of greetings and greetings, the three of them went inside and sat down to chat.
The two female cultivators wisely went to another yard to play with the smart little kid.
"It's been more than ten years since we last met, right? My eldest brother is getting younger and younger." Lin Changshou rubbed his hands and smiled.
Lin Changshou and Guo Zizhao have been promoted in cultivation over the years, and are currently in the late stages of Qi training. But what they practice is not the Changchun Kung Fu, and the increase in lifespan brought about by their cultivation is not worth the passing of time.
It has been more than forty years since they left Lianyun City, and both of them are now in their sixties or seventies. Even compared to the immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period, they have already entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people.
The hair is growing brightly, and the face is full of vicissitudes of life.
But Chen Ping, the eldest brother at the time, is getting younger and younger as he lives, which is inevitably a bit embarrassing in comparison.
"That's not bad of you. The child is already so big." Chen Ping smiled and looked around Lin Changshou's house. There were children's things everywhere.
"Hey, you're being naughty." Lin Changshou complained, but his face looked doting.
"What about you, why did you change to a Taoist monk?" Chen Ping was referring to Guo Zizhao. The female cultivator who just came out of the house with him was not the plump one he saw more than ten years ago who liked to lean over slightly to expose her body. Female nun.
"Damn it, I was living in a tight situation for a while, and that stinky bitch said she ran away with someone to relieve my stress. Damn it, it's unlucky to say it." Guo Zizhao looked angry.
this……
Chen Ping was speechless for a moment.
This woman lives her life like a joke.
If you run away with someone, you have to find a good reason for them.
But being separated is not necessarily a bad thing for Guo Zizhao. At first glance, that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The three of them chatted for a while. Guo Zizhao took out the spiritual stone he had obtained from selling the magic weapon and poured it on the table:
"Brother, excluding my share and that of Fellow Daoist Lin, there are a total of 1,633 middle-grade spiritual stones here. Fellow Daoist Lin and I have not touched them all these years. This booklet contains detailed records of the sales of each magical weapon. .Brother, please take inventory."
When they left Tianyan City, they were given more than thirty second-order low-grade magical instruments and more than thirty second-order middle-grade magical instruments for sale.
After Chen Ping collected the spirit stones, he did not count them. Instead, he counted some and gave 200 to each of them.
Grade spirit stone:
"You can keep these for your own use. It's not much. It's just a token of appreciation."
"Brother, this, Fellow Daoist Guo and I have already taken away our share, how can I ask for your spiritual stone again?" Lin Changshou quickly shied away.
The same is true for Guo Zizhao.
200 middle-grade spiritual stones are not a small amount of money for a Qi Refining monk.
Chen Ping pushed the spirit stone back:
"Take them all. This is your birth gift to Qingqing. In the case of Fellow Daoist Guo,...it can be regarded as a gift to Fellow Daoist Guo for getting married again."
"this……"
Seeing that Chen Ping wanted to give it, the two thanked him again before accepting it.
"Then I'll thank you for that girl Qingqing."
"...Thank you, brother."
"..."
"Brother, are you planning to stay here for a long time when you come to Tianyan City this time?" Lin Changshou asked.
Chen Ping put the spirit stone away:
"I won't stay long. The main reason I came here this time is to listen to Jin Dan's sermon. I will leave after listening."
"Brother is going to form a pill?" the two said in surprise.
"Let's listen first. Whether or not you can form an elixir depends on chance." Chen Ping said honestly.
Hearing this, Guo Zizhao smiled and said:
"Brother can definitely do it. If eldest brother can successfully form an elixir, he will also be the first monk among the group of monks who came out of Lianyun City to form an elixir. It's a pity that Lianyun City no longer exists, otherwise a monument should be erected to commemorate it. .”
"Others may not be able to. But my eldest brother can definitely form pills." Lin Changshou also said excitedly.
Thinking back to the time when they lived next to each other, I just felt that Chen Ping was an unusual homebody. He gave up all social activities and often stayed in the house for dozens of days at a time.
Now that I think about it, this is not a kind of hard work.
How could such a determination not succeed?
"..."
The three of them had a good relationship, and there wasn't much of a barrier between them. After chatting for a while, Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask them about the location of Jin Dan's sermon.
This matter is a major event in Tianyan City every year. Even if the two of them are just Qi Refining monks, they have heard about it.
It was not until afternoon that Chen Ping said goodbye.
