What does the senior mean? What does this wild forest have to do with a bottle of unknown wine? "
After hearing Xiyue's words, Chen Ping couldn't help but sit up straight.
"At this time, it is about my secret, it can even be said to be about my life, and it is also about this Misty Continent. You promise to tell you after I go to me." Xiyue did not say it directly.
When it comes to safety, Chen Ping refuses to give in:
"Senior told me first and then I decided whether to go or not?"
Xiyue:......
She looked at Chen Ping and stopped mentioning the matter. Instead, she asked:
"Where did you go during this trip?"
Fairy Xiyue is very out-of-the-box thinking.
Why do you ask this?
What are you planning again?
But this isn't information that needs to be kept secret, so there's no harm in telling it.
"Most places in Xizhou." Chen Ping said vaguely.
"Oh." Fairy Xiyue said in a slightly long voice.
"Xizhou, it's just a tiny corner of Pianyu in the Piaomiao Continent."
"Compared to the human world, this Misty Continent may not be outstanding. There may be various places outside. Do you want to know more about it?"
"Think." Chen Ping said.
"Perhaps you can find out if you go to the wild forest. The wild forest has many secrets. Do you want to go?"
"I won't go." Chen Ping said firmly.
'Thinking' and 'acting' are two different things.
If you just listen, the more the better. But if you want to know this information by doing it yourself, then your current cultivation level is not enough, so there is no need to take risks.
Xiyue refuses to give up:
"The wild forest is vast but inaccessible? There is not even a sect established there. Do you want to know why?"
"think."
"go?"
"No."
Xiyue:..........
"If you are not careful during the elixir formation process, the elixir will break and return. Do you want the most powerful true monarch in the entire Western Continent to protect you?"
"think."
"go?"
"No."
"That's too much." Fairy Xiyue straightened up and glared angrily:
"I want this, I want that. But I don't want to contribute. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"I tell you that with Yu Lingchun's talent, it is extremely difficult to successfully build a foundation. I basically provide the best conditions on the ninth peak to help her succeed in building a foundation. If you don't agree, I will knock her back. Qi refining period."
Chen Ping:......
here we go again.
"Senior, Yu Lingchun is my wife, but she is also senior's disciple. Senior cannot use this to threaten the younger generation. Besides, since you and I want to cooperate, we must at least be open and honest, right?"
"Isn't it unreasonable for the senior to hide everything and let the junior go to an extremely dangerous place? The senior himself said - 'I want this, I want that. But I don't want to contribute, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" , is this too disrespectful to the juniors?"
"At least tell me why? What are you going to do? What are you going to go through? Right?"
Fairy Xiyue was startled.
After looking at Chen Ping, his mind was up and down, but he finally calmed down.
Chen Ping strikes while the iron is hot:
"Besides, with the senior's cultivation, it is not easy to kidnap the junior to the wild forest? But the senior did not do this, what does it mean? It means that the senior is upright, magnanimous, and broad-minded. He does not conquer people with force, but with reason. That’s convincing. In this case, seniors should at least treat juniors as equals above this matter, right?”
Fairy Xiyue was startled again.
After a moment of calm, he finally sighed and said:
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but knowing some things will not do you any good, and may even affect your spiritual state of mind."
"But you are
However, we don’t have to investigate the reason, so we can simply mention it. "
"On this misty continent, in addition to humans, there are also monsters, demon cultivators, Heluo, and countless demons and monsters. But there have never been demons. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Chen Ping to answer, she continued:
"Because in the ancient times, after the human race worked together to defeat the demons, they used the demon ancestors as a medium to refine, divide and imprison them, and trapped them everywhere in the human world to block the passage from the demon world to the human world. And This confinement requires the support of the Yuanying and even the Yuanshen of the cultivators."
"I am one of the monks who support the soul today."
"The process of making offerings is extremely harmful to the monk's soul, and there are cases of people returning to the Tao because of it. I am lucky. However, it is almost inevitable that one's lifespan will be greatly reduced."
"It happens that your nameless wine has a good effect on nourishing Yuanying's soul. This is why I am willing to rescue Yu Lingchun's disciple in exchange for your spiritual wine. Otherwise, do you think I am really that Do you like drinking?"
A small sip of spiritual wine for more than ten days can achieve the goal, no more will be helpful.
...but you drink it every day.
You have the nerve to make excuses.
However, this passage had a great impact on Chen Ping.
It doesn't matter whether Fairy Xiyue really likes drinking, but the secret behind it is something Chen Ping didn't expect.
Unexpectedly, the human race and the demon race still have such a big historical entanglement.
The reason why no demons have appeared is because of the "channel confinement".
"Is the Nascent Soul one of the imprisoned offerings in this continent?" Chen Ping couldn't help but ask.
"That's not the case. It's just a few. There must be some conditions. Some Nascent Souls don't even know the story behind it." Xiyue shook her head.
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
That's okay.
If it were true, every Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to escape that fate.
That's not a good thing for Chen Ping.
He is not as great as Xiyue. He only wants to become an immortal himself. He cannot control other people's affairs and has no ability to do so. Naturally, he does not want his soul to be damaged and his path to immortality to be hopeless.
After a pause, he asked again:
"Why do you have to sacrifice yourself to be imprisoned? There are many high-level monks from the human race, right? At worst, why not just fight the demons again?"
"Another fight?" Xiyue laughed miserably:
"Apart from anything else, did you know that this Misty Continent has not seen an ascension monk for thousands of years? Well, let alone ascending to the spiritual world, even a god-forming monk has not appeared in this Misty Continent for thousands of years. .”
"The human world lacks spiritual energy, and the talents of high-level monks are withering. However, the demons are getting stronger and stronger. If the road from the demon world to the human world is not blocked, the entire human world will only become a hunting ground for the demons. Are you and I a practicing sect now? That was the real dark moment for the human race."
Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this.
The information was too powerful for him.
Not to mention the power of the demon clan, but there is not even a single god in the entire Piaomiao Continent?
And no one has achieved enlightenment and ascended for thousands of years?
Could it be that the path of cultivation in this life can only end in the realm of Nascent Soul?
It stands to reason that even if the human world lacks spiritual energy, high-level monks have many unpredictable ways to gather spirits. It is still possible to provide a few Nascent Soul Transformation Gods. Why not have a single Soul Transformation Soul?
Is it just because of lack of spiritual power?
"Look, does it affect your mood? I told you that it's not something you can ask about. You have to ask." Fairy Xiyue felt that Chen Ping's mood was fluctuating. She glanced over and said randomly:
"But don't worry too much. For you, that's all in the future. Who can tell what will happen hundreds of years from now?"
"For you, a foundation-building monk, you don't need to care about these at the moment, and you can't do anything. On the contrary, what you need to do is to keep practicing and keep strengthening your wings. Only when the storm really comes can you do it Not afraid of wind and rain, you can still fly freely."
Chen Ping recovered from the impact.
Take a breath.
Xiyue said it right. You can understand these things if you can understand them, but there is no need to worry about them too much.
These things are beyond his control as a foundation-building monk.
Only when you become stronger can you have unlimited possibilities.
Otherwise it's all just talk.
"What does this have to do with inviting this junior to the wild forest?" Chen Ping brought the topic back.
Xiyue nodded and said:
"That Jian Nanchun, I originally treated it as a spiritual wine that slowly nourished the soul. But over the years, I have found that the effect of this Jian Nanchun has become more and more obvious. This shows that your brewing skills are improving."
"But progress is slow."
"Before you appeared, I have been searching for traces of the person who created the unknown wine for hundreds of years. Later, I discovered the possible place of his death, which is in an ancient ruins in the wild forest."
"I'll take you there to gain some insights and explore the ruins there. Maybe it can greatly improve your brewing skills."
"This is why I invite you to go with me."
Finally, he said:
"I have told you all my secrets. Are you satisfied now?"
???
Exaggerated.
At most, I know that you are one of the monks who are imprisoned and supported by the passage.
Tell me all the secrets.
Exploring the place where the great power fell is an excellent way for monks to break through the realm, or for monks to break through bottlenecks when practicing similar techniques.
This is the reason why Xiyue mentioned that going to the ruins to learn about wine-making skills might greatly improve her skills.
But for Chen Ping, he didn't need to go to the ruins of the fallen power at all.
As long as the liver goes down, Dzogchen will come sooner or later.
It's just because the wine-making skill has entered the Grand Master. After that, the nameless wine was enough for him and enough to deal with Xiyue, so he didn't spend any more time on this skill.
But he couldn't tell Xiyue this.
You can't just swear that you can greatly improve your brewing skills without going to the ruins.
"If this wine is brewed to the extreme, can it save the life of the senior? Can it make up for the lost life span?" Chen Ping was a little confused.
"No." Fairy Xiyue affirmed:
"But we can minimize the losses and make up for the soul. As for making up for the longevity,... From the moment I agreed to help confine the passage, I have already prepared for the worst."
"Including sacrificing his own path to immortality?" Chen Ping looked at Xiyue.
After talking today, he was somewhat impressed by Xiyue.
In fact, he himself is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for all living beings. He came to this world for immortality, not to save others.
At most, his light can illuminate his wife and those closest to him.
I won’t light a lamp for others.
But this does not affect his appreciation of those who care about the world.
He didn't know whether Fairy Xiyue was a person who cared about the world, but she was willing to sacrifice her soul to seal off the Demon Lord. For this reason alone, he admired her quite a bit.
Seeing that Fairy Xiyue did not speak, Chen Ping changed the topic:
"Actually, if I give this junior a few more decades or hundreds of years, I might be able to master the art of wine-making myself, so why take the risk?
"Difficult, more than thirty years have passed since the first transaction between you and me, right? Although your brewing skills have improved, but not much. Giving you a thousand years is not enough, but let alone whether you have this opportunity, I don’t have at least a thousand years to live.” Fairy Xiyue teased.
After a pause, Fairy Xiyue said seriously:
"The verbal threat I made to you before was considered too abrupt by me. I think it's my own business, so it's really unfair to impose it on you. You don't need to pay attention to what I said before."
"However, you can consider my suggestion."
"In exchange, as long as you are willing to
Take a trip. I promise to protect you when you form the elixir and provide you with the fluid of the five elements that you need. Of course, if you are willing, I can also accept you as a registered disciple without being controlled by the sect. However, if you encounter obstacles in your future practice, I can help you clear up some doubts. "
"This is the exchange condition that I can provide, nothing more."
Chen Ping looked at Fairy Xiyue.
Among these three conditions, the allure of Dharma Protector and Registered Disciple status is average.
For example, in the second article, even if there is no protector Xiyue, you can still ask Wei Xun for help.
Substitutable.
but.
The first 'Five Elements Liquid' is the treasure he currently cannot get.
In sixteen years of traveling, I have only encountered the 'Five Elements Liquid' twice, and only got one bottle.
Currently, there is a shortage of three types of Five Element Liquids, and it is really not easy to get them.
Although Jindan can make up for it later, it is a last resort.
The best way is to make the golden elixir sound when forming the elixir.
This condition was very attractive to him.
"The exchange terms offered by the seniors are not unattractive. In fact, even if there are no exchange terms, the seniors have carefully taught Yu Lingchun's kindness, and the juniors should naturally go with the seniors."
"It's never easy to practice a discipline. I'm very cautious. I try to do everything for good and avoid disaster. I just want to live longer. So if I have offended you before, please forgive me." Chen Ping said honestly and sighed.
Then he tried:
"Junior would like to ask, I heard that senior was injured in the wild forest before?"
Fairy Xiyue was originally inexplicably emotional and moved by Chen Ping's frank words, but when she heard the last sentence, she almost broke her guard:
"What kind of injury? That was when the secret realm first appeared in the wild forest. The secret space was completely unstable. Now, decades later, it has become completely stable. Countless foundation-building monks have gone there, not to mention me?"
"Besides, this time we will not go to a secret place, but to a ruins deep in the forest."
Fairy Xiyue scolded Yu Lingchun in her heart, thinking that she would tell everyone about her embarrassing things.
Chen Ping thought thoughtfully, this should be true.
Baili Ye also mentioned at the beginning that the secret realm would be stable in more than ten years.
If Nascent Soul is present, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Senior, tell me the truth, are there many hostile forces among you?" Chen Ping said cautiously.
Hearing this, Fairy Xiyue said in a arrogant tone:
"Hostile forces? Are you kidding?"
"Who in the entire Xihuang is my opponent? The Tianyan Sect's sects are not as powerful as me. Not to mention the Xihuang, even in the entire Xizhou, no one can stand up to me."
"When you go to the wild forest, as long as you stay with me at all times, I will keep you safe."
Is this bitch so strong?
He underestimated her.
It seems that not everyone can be the monk who blocks the passage.
"In this case, then the junior will go with the senior." Chen Ping decided.
With Nascent Soul by his side, he could almost walk sideways in the Western Wasteland, and the mission he was going to perform was not too dangerous. He only needed to go to the ruins to understand the brewing insights left by the great master, not to explore the secret realm.
With the combination of the two, this transaction can be done.
worth.
"That's right. I know you cherish your life, but you can't just avoid going out for adventures. Why worry about me when I'm here? If you don't see the outside world, your state of mind won't grow, and it's also useless for practice. Your wandering this time has consumed a lot of money. It took me sixteen years to realize this, and it may not be due to this." Xi Yue said.
After saying that, she took out a token from her waist and threw it to Chen Ping:
"Take this token. If you go to Tianyan Sect in the future, you don't need to wait at the foot of the mountain. You can just go up the mountain."
"From now on, I will be your master."
After she said this, Chen Ping saw a cunning look in her eyes.
I don't know what she is planning.
This woman might be setting a trap in every way she talks.
"By the way, your..." Xiyue laughed...Now that he has become an apprentice, of course he has to extort more spiritual wine.
"The spiritual wine is gone." Chen Ping said decisively.
Xiyue:......
Chen Ping took the opportunity and said:
"Xi...Master. You and I are master and disciple. The disciple is now in the critical period of forming elixirs. He should spend a lot of time on cultivation and all other things should give way. Master, shouldn't he be more of a disciple? For your own sake? Master, do you think the spiritual wine can be supplied a few years later?"
Xiyue: "..."
"Besides, Master once said that a small sip every ten days is enough. If you take more than one sip, it will not be beneficial to your practice. On the contrary, it will lead to alcoholism. This is not good. Master, as the number one monk in Xizhou... no, Piaomiao Continent, Drinking means you have a weakness, and if you have a weakness, you will be exploited and targeted. For the sake of Master's safety, Master should only drink a small sip every ten days. From now on, how about letting the disciple supervise?"
Xiyue: "..."
"Furthermore, if the master has just accepted a junior as a disciple and then asks the disciple to step up the brewing, others will think that the master is taking advantage of the disciple? Is the master such a person? Of course not, the master is so noble and upright. , He is so righteous, how could he be such a person? If this were to spread, wouldn’t it ruin the master’s reputation?”
Xiyue: "..."
"Master, when do you want to set off?"
Fairy Xiyue didn't want to pay attention to Chen Ping, always feeling choked up.
I took several deep breaths to calm my fluctuating mood:
"Now that it has been decided, without further ado, I will go back to the sect to handle some matters and set off in half a month. By then, I can also find a place in the Western Wilderness to be my master and formulate pills to protect you. By the way, what are you missing? Planting the liquid of the Five Elements?"
"The three liquids of gold, wood, and water."
"Bring it to you in half a month."
"Thank you, Master."
"Do you have the golden elixir?"
"Yes, but only one."
"Well, with your physique, one pill is not safe. I will bring you another one in half a month."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping shouted loudly.
"Humph, are you so diligent in calling me Master now? It seems like you suffered a loss just now when I offered to accept you as a disciple." Fairy Xiyue said with a smile.
Chen Ping:......
One cannot, or at least should not, hold a grudge like this.
