In the quiet room.
Xiyue completed one day of practice, exhaled like blue, and slowly opened her big eyes.
He glanced around, then took out a booklet from the storage bag and studied the next mission plan.
On the wall, Chen Ping stared.
He even moved slightly on purpose.
hey-hey.
None of this can be found.
Return to the first monk in the Western Wasteland.
Diamondback.
Chen Ping suddenly lost interest in continuing to pry and test, and suddenly disappeared on the wall.
Xiyue sensed something, turned her head and glanced at the wall, then immediately felt it with concentration, shook her head, lowered her head and continued to read her booklet.
After Chen Ping came out, he thought for a while and continued walking outside.
wrong.
It should be to try out the spell effect.
The male cultivators in the caves on the left have relatively high cultivation levels, so it's not easy to try. If they are discovered, there will inevitably be friction, which is not good. The cultivation levels of the female cultivators on the right are a little weaker, and they are all in the early stage of golden elixir or foundation building stage, so they can just give it a try.
'Hiss~,
'This master-level spell is really... ,
Alas, fallen.
We are all serious people, so this is not good. If you develop a bad habit, you will lose more than you gain.
It's getting dark soon, so let's try another one.
At most one family.
If you still can't feel it, don't try it.
……midnight.
Chen Ping returned to the quiet room of his cave and determined that as long as he did not use his consciousness or spiritual power at will after earth escape, the current level of this spell could completely deceive the first level of the golden elixir. On the second floor, it depends on the vigilance of the other party. There is a risk of being detected at the third level of the golden elixir.
Of course this is close range.
From a long distance, it is equivalent to being completely invisible and cannot be sensed by the third level of the golden elixir.
This is very good, a good way to save lives.
'Grandmaster: 999/1000, the level of earth escape is strong.
'How about trying speed and duration again. ,
Like a swimming dragon, Chen Ping burrowed into the ground and swam around quickly for a while, until he felt throbbing and then quickly returned to the quiet room.
The speed almost catches up to 80% of Yujian's flying speed.
not bad.
In terms of time, it has increased from dozens of breaths when I first started to two hours now.
This time is basically enough as long as you are not traveling long distances.
I have lived up to my hard work of the past year.
For more than half a year, Chen Ping spent all his time on Kung Fu and escape techniques.
In addition to earth escape, he has also started to learn water escape and wood escape, but he did not focus on spending time practicing, but spent most of his time on earth escape.
This also made it possible for Earth Escape to reach 'Grandmaster: 999/1000' in more than half a year.
'It's 1 o'clock away from the Great Consummation, let's continue. ,
Chen Ping continued to focus on practicing magic.
A few hours later, he heard a throbbing sound. He was overjoyed and quickly opened the panel.
[Spell: Earth Escape Technique (Grand Master): 1/1000. 】
Um?
Not 'perfect,'?
A great master actually came,?
This was the first time that he had practiced a golden elixir spell to this level, and he had no experience at all.
I never thought that there would be a "Grand Master". You must know the spells of the Foundation Establishment Stage. After the Grand Master, there is Dzogchen.
I don’t know if it’s just this spell, or is it true of all golden elixir spells?
But this is a good thing for Chen Ping.
This means that we can continue to improve, and when the time comes, we can hide from the third level of Jindan at close range.
It may not be possible. The earth escape time may also be far longer than two hours.
Anyway, the more deeply you practice, the better.
Chen Ping put away the panel and walked out of the quiet room.
Seeing that the door of Xiyue's quiet room was closed, he left the cave alone without disturbing her.
In the past year, Xiyue has participated in two outing missions intensively. Either during the execution of the mission or on the way to select the mission, she actively explored ways to get out of the Canglan Grassland.
In her own words to Chen Ping, this is:
——Don’t worry, my Nascent Soul experience is invincible in the Western Wasteland. I am absolutely confident to take you out of Canglan Grassland. If I am at my wits' end, then there is no chance for other monks.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you going out?" Minghe saw Chen Ping coming out and said hello.
"Yeah, let's go to the village and see if there are any basic spells." Chen Ping replied. Seeing Ming He leaning lazily on the chair, but his face didn't look good, he asked out of concern for his neighbors:
"Fellow Daoist Ming, are you having trouble?"
Minghe smiled bitterly:
"In this Canglan Grassland, is there any day without worries?"
"Hey, there is not enough spiritual energy here. I went wrong in my practice a few days ago and almost ruined my path to immortality. Now that my foundation is damaged, I don't know how long it will take to recover from this injury."
"Practice? Practice with a hammer."
Chen Ping:......
"Yeah, the spiritual energy is too low." Chen Ping agreed.
Having said that.
But in fact, the spiritual energy is barely enough for him.
Under the superposition of multiple factors such as the spirit gathering array, jade bed, futon, and robe with a sixth-level clothing array, coupled with sufficient energy gathering pills, it is still barely enough for him who is currently only at the first level of the golden elixir. Enough.
If you reach the second floor of Jindan, you may feel stretched.
But that’s for later, later.
It is not easy to practice the golden elixir. In the past year, I have only achieved 9/100.
At this rate, it would take at least ten years to reach the second level of Jindan.
If Xiyue goes well, she might be lucky enough to get out of Canglan Grassland by then.
After saying goodbye to Ming He, Chen Ping went to the store.
After asking about it, I learned that the books on talismans had not yet been purchased, and the trade with other villages had not even been completed yet.
After choosing for a while, I bought a basic book called "Essentials of Golden Elixir Flying".
Once the elixir is formed, the monk himself will suddenly realize the art of flying. That is to say, at this moment, Chen Ping has not practiced flying yet, so he can fly without the help of magic weapons.
But the speed and skill are raw.
This can be improved through practicing spells.
"Are there any maps around the village for sale here?" Chen Ping asked.
"Yes, senior, do you want the detailed version or the simplified version?" the shopkeeper said respectfully, and then introduced the differences.
The simplified version mainly notes the habitat of surrounding monsters, including relatively safe roads to go out.
The detailed version includes, in addition to the above content, some resources and the distribution of sect relics.
There is a certain difference in price.
Chen Ping decided to take the latter.
After a final inquiry, I bought another book introducing common monsters in Canglan Grassland - "Illustrated Book of Common Monsters in Canglan".
A total of 38 high-grade spiritual stones were spent.
Returning to the cave, Chen Ping opened the map of Canglan grassland outside the village.
According to the marks on the map, there are indeed several villages on the Canglan Grassland. The closest one to this village is about 400,000 miles away, and the others are even farther away, even millions of miles away.
The closest sect ruins to this village are not too far away, about 150,000 to 60,000 miles away.
As for some potential mines, large and small, there are more. Many of them are not raw spiritual stones, but other medicinal ores.
Chen Ping was absorbed by a spiritual mine marked in the picture.
lead.
This spiritual mine is the largest spiritual mine around the village, only more than 30,000 miles away from the village. But no one has dared to risk stealing minerals there for many years.
Because there is a ferocious third-level late-stage monster guarding it. Like an evil spirit, it can not only fly into the sky, but also escape to the ground. Most monks would die if they came close, let alone go mining.
Therefore, it is also called the "Evil Spirit Mine".
After looking at it for a while, Chen Ping closed the album and wrote down the key elements.
If you need to go out one day, this important information can reduce your risk.
Then he opened the "Illustrated Book of Common Monsters in Canglan".
A lot of the information was similar to what Chen Ping had obtained before, but it was the types of monsters underground that made Chen Ping take a closer look.
The most ferocious monster underground is called the nine-jointed crocodile, a monster.
This kind of monster has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is fatal only if nine joints are broken. Under the same realm, deep underground, ordinary human monks are no match for him.
This kind of monster rarely comes to the ground. Most of the time it lives underground, and the depth of its habitat varies. The shallow ones are only tens of feet deep, and the deep ones may be as deep as fifty or sixty miles.
This far exceeds the depth of the monk's escape.
This is why Xiyue said that there is no need to be too obsessed with the art of escaping from the earth.
'I don't know how deep I can escape now. I'll give it a try. ,
Chen Ping closed the register.
Continue to practice the exercises.
...
Half a year passed by in a flash. Chen Ping in the quiet room took a breath and opened the panel.
[Golden elixir spell: earth escape technique: perfection. Water Escape (Beginner): 930/1000. Wood Escape (Beginner): 700/1000. Flying (expert): 211/1000. 】
'It's finally complete. ,
'Next, add the flying skill. ,
'With these two spells as the foundation, we have the most basic guarantee of survival in this dangerous Canglan Grassland. ,
'Combined with the Splitting Wind Shuttle, it will fly if it can't be beaten, and it will burrow into the ground if it can't fly. ,
Chen Ping looked at these two spells and felt unusually relieved.
As for attack spells, there is no need to learn new ones for the time being.
Attack spells are generally not basic spells, and there aren't many available for sale here.
The most important thing is that several late-stage spells in the foundation building period have been practiced to perfection, and they have already had the strength to fight against the golden elixir. This is the case with the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, and even more so with the Qingmang Sword.
Especially the green light sword, not to mention the first level of golden elixir, even the second level of ordinary golden elixir may not be able to block it.
'The next focus is to quickly improve your level. ,
'Unfortunately, the spiritual energy here is not good, and I can barely do it if I practice slowly. But if you want to speed up the progress, aura becomes the biggest bottleneck. ,
'The Qi Gathering Pill is only a foundation-building pill after all, and its potency is no longer very powerful. ,
In the past year and a half, Xiyue has occasionally brought some raw ores of spirit stones when she went out on missions, but not much. This village has been running for hundreds of years, and the monsters outside have long since become ghostly and ghostly, making it difficult to steal.
'I have to find a way to improve my spiritual energy. ,
Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of the formation being activated came from outside.
Chen Ping knew that Xiyue was back.
She has gone out countless times.
"Master, how about this time?" Chen Ping sat down in the cave, looked around, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiyue was not injured.
Xiyue is covered with dust:
"There's good news and there's bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"What's the difference? You want to hear the bad side." Chen Ping said speechlessly.
"The bad news is that from what we have learned, the guardians of the ancient pagoda have already made a decision. Two years later, they will join forces with several other villages to attack the ruins in the middle of the grassland in order to explore the secrets of getting out of the Canglan Grassland." Yue took a deep breath.
Chen Ping hesitated when he heard this.
The ruins in the middle of the grassland are said to be collectively guarded by many monsters.
It is speculated that it may be a place where the secret of getting out of Canglan Grassland is hidden.
The problem is that there was a fight a hundred years ago, and the human monks at that time came back defeated.
lost heavily.
Why can't wait now?
"confirmed?"
"There is a high probability that it is true. Or the guardian of the ancient pagoda will announce it in the near future." Xiyue looked at the young apprentice in front of her solemnly:
"In the last *** war, human monks suffered numerous casualties, and those with lower strength bore the brunt. You have just entered Jindan for more than a year, so starting a war at this moment is not a good thing for you. So it is bad news."
In this kind of war, one death will lead to one piece of war.
And there is no way out, everyone has to go, unless they never enter the villages again and wander in the wilderness forever.
"What's the good news?"
"This is also the good news." Xiyue said excitedly.
Chen Ping:......
"It has been a year and a half since I entered here. Judging from the news I have learned, it is basically impossible to escape by finding inexplicable ancient formations. It is even unclear whether the formations exist. But such a battle It might be an opportunity, as long as we get a glimpse of some secrets during the battle, maybe we will have a chance to get out of Canglan Grassland."
Chen Ping nodded.
What Xiyue said makes sense.
When he was trapped in Qingyun Domain, the solution was clear, which was to break the formation. As long as the fog formation is broken, there is a chance to survive, otherwise it will be a demon.
The path and consequences are clear.
But it's different now. Now, like a headless fly, he has no idea where to go out of Canglan Grassland.
There is no way to start.
If you can peep into a secret, you will know where the problem needs to be solved.
Even if the problem that needs to be overcome is difficult, for example, is it necessary to break an ancient formation? Or maybe you want to find a treasure? Or is it about defeating a monster? etc.
As long as there is a clear direction, a solution may be found.
He didn't want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.
"So in the next two years, there is only one thing you need to do, and that is to improve your cultivation and strength as much as possible."
Xiyue said and took out a storage bag. With a movement of consciousness, a pile of raw spiritual stones appeared on the table:
"These raw spiritual stones were obtained by me when I went out this time, and they are all used for your cultivation. In the next two years, I will try my best to find some raw spiritual stones for you. If you are stronger, you can protect yourself by then. Just one more ability.”
Chen Ping took a look at the large pile of raw spiritual stones.
It is not easy to steal spiritual minerals nowadays.
Every piece is hard-earned.
"And you?"
"I? The higher my cultivation level, the more powerful my suppression will be. It doesn't matter if I don't cultivate it." Xi Yue said lightly.
Chen Ping didn't know.
This is not the case.
Although it is said that the higher the cultivation level, the more powerful the suppression, but spiritual energy is also needed to practice spells, to maintain one's own operation and to improve one's soul.
It’s just because there aren’t many spiritual mines.
"Master, thank you for your kindness. Master, please don't worry about this matter. I can just think of a solution myself." Chen Ping had an idea in his mind.
"You think of a way? You..." Xiyue was stunned.
Chen Ping interrupted her:
"I have my own sense of proportion."
"Also, is there any other valuable information from this outing?"
Xiyue looked at Chen Ping, hesitated and said:
"There's one more thing I didn't want to tell you, but you and my master and apprentice are now sharing life and death. This matter may also be closely related to your safety, so I'd better tell you."
"What's the matter?" Chen Ping's heart tightened.
I had a hunch that what Xiyue said might be important.
"This Canglan Grassland may be related to the passage for demons to enter the human world." Xiyue paused and said calmly.
Chen Ping was shocked.
Why does this matter have something to do with the demons?
"how do I say this?"
Xiyue shook her head:
"I don't know either, but when I first entered this place, I had such an underworld feeling in my heart. As a donor of the passage confinement, this underworld feeling may not be wrong. But As for the specific connection, I really haven’t found any clues.”
There was a pause. Xiyue said again:
"Furthermore, I also feel an indescribable feeling about those ancient tower guardians."
Chen Ping was stunned again:
"They have problems too?"
"That's not true. It can be seen that they really want to get out of Canglan Grassland and are working tirelessly to do so. This cannot be false." Xiyue shook her head and said quietly:
"But I always feel that they have hidden too much information."
"Anyway, before the war comes, be careful."
Chen Ping nodded.
This grassland is full of weirdness.
Monsters are like this.
This is the law of heaven and earth.
The ancient pagoda in the center of the village may not be like this.
