In the days that followed, Chen Ping continued to practice life at home, hoping to return to Xiaozhu Peak as soon as possible.
Different from Chen Ping's residence, because the interpretation of the confinement technique in the village was not satisfactory, the group of assisting monks was disbanded, and the strategy of overcoming the confinement technique also changed, making everyone gradually realize the reality.
That is to say: It may be impossible to make a breakthrough within decades.
A century-old foundation.
Even hundreds of years after another.
As this knowledge spreads, the most intuitive manifestation is that people become more aggressive, hoping to make progress in cultivation and extend their lifespan.
Use the increase in life span brought by the growth of realm to offset the time of interpretation of the confinement technique.
The ninth-level foundation-building monks and the elderly Jindan monks are the most active in this regard.
The number of monks out exploring ruins and looking for resources has increased significantly.
Some of the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment members even began to seek out ways to travel in search of great enlightenment.
Chen Ping is not in a hurry.
Not to mention that as he practiced the confinement technique, he understood more and more about how to unlock the confinement.
Just talking about longevity, he has just entered the golden elixir and still has three hundred years left to live.
And Xiyue has even more lifespan left.
There is no need to do everything possible to seek a breakthrough like others.
In the quiet room.
Chen Ping sat cross-legged on the jade bed. In the sea of consciousness, he was a miniature version of a martial arts practitioner. He was waving the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in the air and carving the Taiqing Imprisonment Curse.
Because all 108 runes have been engraved the moment you enter the 'Grand Master'. Therefore, when the runes are written in the air at this moment, they will not disappear immediately.
But it remains.
Until all 108 runes are engraved.
All the runes suddenly flickered, emitting a dazzling sheen of spiritual power, and the law restriction lines were connected into a whole, confining all the air in the middle area without any flow.
'No, why did I feel a sword intent at the 99th rune? '
Chen Ping hesitated.
He has now taken 8 small steps in the sword intention avenue of the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword. Although the sword intention method has not been completely pieced together, with every small step he takes, he can be surrounded by the surging sword intention. ocean.
This process itself can also comprehend the meaning of the sword.
This makes his current sword intention at least 2-3 times stronger than when he just perfected the Qingmang Sword practice.
This kind of power makes him extremely sensitive to the sword's intention.
At this moment, he felt the aura of the sword's intention.
'You can't be wrong, there must be sword intent here. '
Chen Ping did not dare to neglect and continued to meditate and perceive.
'But why did it disappear again? '
'Could it be that a sword spirit is sealed here? And what is the value of this sword intention? '
Chen Ping began to try a different path.
As his understanding deepened, a mysterious feeling began to correct the chaos for him and guide him to the right path.
Three days later, he drew out his spiritual consciousness from meditation.
...finally figured this out.
There is indeed a sword intent here, which is one of the 'branch lines' used by the caster to strengthen the confinement technique.
But this sword intention is not sealed here, but the five surrounding runes together form a space that attracts the sword intention, attracting the sword intention here.
The sword intent is wrapped around the runes.
Integrated with rune prohibition.
Became part of the rune itself.
Of course, these details are no longer important. What is important is that Chen Ping understood the value of this sword intention.
That is: if you want to break the imprisonment, you must destroy this sword intention.
The method of destruction is also very simple. Use the sword breaker's own sword intent to consume the sword intent in this rune.
The sword intention in the rune is very strong and is connected to the rune, so in order to kill it, the caster needs to have a very strong sword intention and go far enough in the path of the sword.
Chen Ping thought about it. If he wanted to kill the sword intention, he might have to take a few more steps on the sword intention avenue.
It's difficult, but not a dead end.
As long as there is a direction, many things will become breakable.
'I finally figured out the solution to one of the branch lines. '
Chen Ping got up and walked around, feeling extremely happy.
...I have practiced this confinement technique for several years, and finally figured out the first branch of unlocking the confinement technique.
There may be many more such subplots.
But if there is one there are two.
Other hidden levels may be revealed soon.
…
Warm and cold at first.
This winter, the Canglan Grassland received the heaviest snowfall since Chen Ping entered the area.
The heavy snow on the wasteland directly covered and submerged all the withered yellow reeds. The snow in unmaintained areas of the village is as thick as an adult.
There was a vast expanse of white everywhere.
Fortunately, most of the monks here have golden elixirs and foundation building skills, so they are not afraid of the cold at all. Even those mortals and monks in the Qi Refining Stage most likely have golden elixir monks standing behind them, so they won't be able to survive the long cold winter.
But going out has become more difficult.
The whole village was extremely silent.
Chen Ping easily cleared away the snow on the outside of the cave with a dragon fire technique. He took a breath of hot air and turned back to the cave to continue practicing the confinement technique.
But less than an hour after practicing, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Friend Daoist Chen, help this junior." A quick and crying voice came.
Feng Li's Taoist companion Ayao?
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment and walked out.
Then he was startled again, and saw Feng Li's Taoist companion pear blossoms with rain on his face, his face full of anxiety. Chen Ping said hurriedly:
"What's going on here?"
A Yao couldn't wait to see Chen Ping coming out and said:
"Junior, my old Feng is dying. Fellow Daoist Chen, please help Old Feng."
His tone was full of pleading, and his knees suddenly buckled.
Chen Ping quickly supported him:
"Mrs. Feng doesn't have to be like this. Where is Fellow Daoist Feng now? What happened?"
What does it mean to die soon?
The Feng Li I saw half a month ago was still alive and kicking.
After listening to A Yao's explanation in a few words, I found out that Feng Li and several fellow Taoists went out to hunt animals and were seriously injured. They were sent back by a fellow Taoist not long ago.
The fellow Taoist had to send other wounded people after he had sent them off, so he left in a hurry. At that time, Feng Li had not yet appeared to be in a critical condition, and Ayao couldn't help but scold him for being so careless in finding resources.
But just now, Feng Li was distracted and fell into a coma.
As a foundation builder, Ayao was unable to cast spells. After working hard for a while, Feng Li didn't get better, and she became more and more anxious.
Thinking that Feng Li usually had a good relationship with Chen Ping, he hurried over to ask for help.
"I'll go over and take a look." Chen Ping said after hearing this.
He turned around and said hello to Xi Yue who had come out after hearing the sound, and then hurried to their cave with A Yao.
On the bed, Feng Li was lying flat on the wooden bed, his upper arms hanging on both sides, and his robe was torn in many places. His eyes were closed tightly and his face was pale.
Seeing this, A Yao behind him shed tears again.
Chen Ping's heart sank and he quickly sensed it.
Finding that Feng Li was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately gave Feng Li a rejuvenation spell, took out a restoration pill, and gave it to Feng Li.
He had replenished a lot of such elixirs when he was in Lingxiao Sect. He had not used them very much over the years, but he still had a lot of them.
Then his spiritual consciousness penetrated in and checked Feng Li's internal situation.
Many bones in the body were broken and the orifices were blocked.
Many tendons and veins were also broken.
It stands to reason that as a monk at the third level of the Golden Core, Feng Li should be able to partially heal on his way back from the wasteland as long as he does not damage his Dantian, foundation, or spirit. Such physical injuries should not be too dangerous for him.
But Chen Ping felt that the speed of his self-healing was almost stagnant.
This shows that his injuries are not just physical.
I don’t know if the dantian was damaged, but the soul must have been damaged to some extent.
What's going on?
Why go out to find resources on such a snowy day?
Chen Ping took out the soul whip and tied it to Feng Li to protect his soul.
He was given two rejuvenation spells and injected spiritual power into him to help him recover.
Seeing that Feng Li's injuries were showing signs of stopping, he stopped.
"Senior Chen, Old Feng..." Ayao asked anxiously with red and swollen eyes when Chen Ping stopped casting spells.
Chen Ping paused:
"The injury has been stopped from worsening. Whether it can recover depends on fellow Daoist Feng's own self-healing ability."
"Why is it like this?"
Hearing this, A Yao looked dazed and said:
"Blame me."
"...Seeing that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, I don't know how long it will be closed for. The heavier the snow, the easier it is to identify the traces of the monsters. So I thought about letting Lao Feng go out to look for resources. Who knew it would be like this..."
According to the Taoist friend who sent Feng Li back, they traveled together with four Taoist friends and found a good spiritual mine according to the map. According to the spiritual mine map, the female beast occupying there likes to hibernate in the cold winter.
In this case it is better to steal the ore.
Who knew that the monster would still be alarmed.
During the battle, four against one was not in a panic, and there was even some divine calculation. I never thought that there were two powerful monsters in the cave.
The scene suddenly became four versus three.
The four of them finally retreated. Although none of them died, the four of them seriously injured three of them. One of the uninjured monks sneaked back with three companions on his back.
Only then was he able to save his life.
Chen Ping was silent for a while.
Feng Li is not too old, less than two hundred years old. As a third-level Jindan, he still has a long life to live. Even if it takes a hundred or even two hundred years to lift the ban, Feng Li actually does not need to worry at all. .
But his Taoist companion was different.
I'm just afraid that the moment of death is coming soon.
Chen Ping cannot judge other people's family affairs.
But what A Yao meant just now was that she asked Feng Li to go out. Even in this kind of weather, we are urged to go out. On this point, it's more or less not worth it for Feng Li.
After living next to each other for so many years, Chen Ping still knew the Taoist couple very well.
Feng Li pretended to be A Yao in his heart and was even a bit strict about his wife.
Ayao may also have Feng Li in her heart, but she is more concerned about her own longevity.
"It's all my fault." Ayao blamed herself when she saw that her husband did not wake up after Chen Ping's treatment.
Why.
If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?
If Feng Li dies, A Yao's life will be ten thousand times more difficult.
Chen Ping did not comfort her, but just said:
"Every two hours, I will come over and cast a spell on Fellow Daoist Feng. If anything happens to Fellow Daoist Feng during this period, you can come to me at any time."
He treated Feng Li not because A Yao asked for help, but because he had a good relationship with Feng Li.
"Thank you, Senior Chen."
Chen Ping nodded, indicating that A Yao didn't need to send him away, and left their cave alone, and took them to the door by the way.
The heavy snow outside is still falling, getting heavier and heavier.
The boots made a crunching sound as they stepped on the snow.
Like the bitter cry of a trapped monk.
"What about Fellow Daoist Feng?" In the cave, Xiyue, who had not yet returned to her quiet room when Chen Ping came back, asked.
"I stopped her injury, and her soul was temporarily protected. He was not as seriously injured as you, but he didn't have the elixir to repair his soul. Whether he can come back depends on himself." Chen Ping truthfully road.
Although Chen Ping didn't know what kind of elixir it was to repair the soul, since Xiyue in the middle stage of Yuanying only had one pill, it must not be a popular product.
There are probably no other monks in the elixir village like this.
To say the least, even if there were such a precious elixir, others would not give it away easily.
Therefore, although Chen Ping knew about this elixir, he did not suggest A Yao to go door to door and ask for it.
"It's really a matter of life and death for the spiritual mine." Xiyue sighed.
"His Taoist companion asked him to go." Chen Ping added.
Xiyue was slightly startled when she heard the words, and then she said quietly after coming over for a while:
"How stupid."
I don’t know if I’m talking about Feng Li being stupid.
Ayao is still stupid.
…
Two hours later, Chen Ping went to Fengli Cave Mansion again.
When he went there, Ayao was sitting by the bed, holding Feng Li's hand with both hands, slowly injecting spiritual power into him. His face was haggard, his brows were frowning, and his eyes were dull.
Seeing Chen Ping come in, he stood up in a daze:
"Senior Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen Ping nodded:
"Let me do it."
Feng Li was still up to his standards. After Chen Ping cast healing spells on him four times, Feng Li finally opened his eyes the next day.
Then entered a long recovery cycle.
Four days later, Chen Ping stopped casting spells on Feng Li and allowed him to heal on his own.
Once the monk enters the rapid self-healing period. Although the Dantian and Yuanshen are not so easy to heal, it is very easy to regain freedom of movement.
A month later, Feng Li brought all the resources he could get his hands on and visited to express his gratitude.
Chen Ping confiscated his resources, mainly because most of these resources were mainly used to replenish spiritual energy. Chen Ping himself had no shortage of them, but Feng Li was in urgent need of them during his recovery period.
It was just a matter of effort for him to offer treatment.
"You can keep it for yourself. The only pieces of raw spiritual stone you stole with your life are these. How can I take it from you?" Chen Ping joked.
Feng Li smiled awkwardly:
"Hey, knowing that Fellow Daoist Chen may not be in short supply can be regarded as a token of appreciation."
"Feng will remember the life-saving grace of Fellow Daoist Chen this time. By the way, which sect is Fellow Daoist Chen from? To be honest, I am an elder of the Tianwu Sect in Daqian. Although it is a small sect, I am in the sect. The status is quite high, and the sect is good at refining weapons, so there are still some resources. If you are lucky enough to leave Canglan Grassland in the future, Feng will visit Daoist Chen."
"Let's wait until the day we can really get out of Canglan Grassland." Chen Ping said.
"That's true."
“…..”
After Feng Li left, Chen Ping returned to the quiet room to continue practicing the confinement technique.
Time flies, and more than half a year has passed.
On this day, Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes while meditating and suddenly realized something in his heart.
"I see."
"It turns out the solution is here."
Finally figured out how to break the ban.
To be precise, it is a method that only destroys one of the characteristics of confinement.
Chen Ping was only in the early stage of Jindan cultivation and could only practice the 'first level' of the confinement technique. But the confinement in the mysterious ruins was obviously not arranged by the golden elixir monks, nor even by the Yuanying monks, but by higher-level monks.
This means that it is impossible for Chen Ping to unlock his imprisonment.
But after entering the 'Grand Master' level, after repeated pondering, he found an amazing solution.
A solution that only destroys the restricted part but does not destroy the whole.
That is: through certain means, the impact of this confinement on the laws of heaven and earth can be destroyed, and the phenomenon of 'suppressing cultivation' disappears.
The disappearance of this phenomenon only opened a loophole for the confinement, and the confinement itself still exists.
But this means that Xiyue can restore the realm of Nascent Soul.
Then, it will become feasible to fly out of Canglan Grassland and the surrounding endless sea.
