Three days later.
Lingxiao Sect held a grand celebration.
According to Wei Xun's previous statement, this time was not only a celebration for Chen Ping's promotion to the Golden Pill, but also some other monks who had been promoted to Foundation Establishment through Qi Refining over the years, all celebrating at the same time.
But when Chen Ping walked out of Xiaozhu Peak, he realized how outrageous Wei Xun was.
Although only the Foundation Establishment monks and the Lingxiao Sect management attended this gathering, Wei Xun obviously did not want to hold it in such a low-key manner and did not want to waste the opportunity to inspire and boost morale.
On the road leading to the conference hall of the main peak, there are sect disciples everywhere along both sides of the road. When they see Chen Ping coming, they will bow their hands in greeting, like cheerleaders lined up to welcome him.
In terms of decoration, it is like the small town where students from the Northern Qing Dynasty were admitted in later generations, with colorful flags hanging everywhere.
The celebration words above are all kinds of strange——
'Congratulations to our sect Master Chen Ping on marrying the golden elixir, and everyone in the world celebrates it. ', 'After the golden elixir has been splendid in the world, sharp skills and hard work will lead the way', 'Golden energy comes from the east, good luck reaches the sky, and the small bamboo reaches out to Kunpeng's ambition again', '.'
Even though he was as thick-skinned as Chen Ping, his face could not help but turn red at this moment. While dealing with the congratulatory disciples, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Damn it, who taught Wei Xun this!
The celebration went on as scheduled.
All Lingxiao Sect management and foundation-building monks were present, including foundation-building from vassal families like Yun Haitang.
Chen Ping did not recognize some of the foundation-building monks among them. They should be new guest ministers who have joined in recent years.
The entire meeting hall was packed with people.
There was singing and dancing in the center of the meeting hall.
After entering the meeting hall and taking his seat, Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to face the 'cheerleaders' in embarrassment.
But in fact Chen Ping is obviously too young.
When the dancers and singers in the center finished each song, they would give a slight salute to Chen Ping and shout in unison - "Congratulations to Senior Chen for successfully forming the elixir and bringing the golden energy from the east."
Every time after shouting, the other monks would cast envious glances.
But Chen Ping wanted to get into the ground.
This is so fucking embarrassing.
Who taught Wei Xun all this?
Chen Ping and Master Sima were sitting together, close to Wei Xun's seat, closer to the front.
From time to time, monks would greet him from afar and congratulate him, attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Ping saw Yun Haitang and Yun Lingshan sitting at the far end of the meeting hall, looking at the scenes on his side with a smile. Yun Haitang had a faint smile in his eyes, while Yun Lingshan was a little excited. Seeing Chen Ping looking over, she raised her little hand and waved vigorously.
"Everyone, now that Master Chen has successfully formed the elixir, the strength of our Lingxiao Sect has reached a new level. It's more than a surprise to hear this good news." Wei Xun has a habit of slapping his thighs when he gets excited.
At this moment, after patting my thighs, I raised my glass of wine and drank with everyone in the distance.
Everyone quickly stood up and raised their bottles.
"Master Chen Feng, please give us a few words to encourage these juniors." Wei Xun suggested.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Ping thought for a while.
He actually had nothing to say.
We can't let these disciples work hard to gain proficiency, right?
If you really want to be serious, there is nothing to talk about in terms of overcoming difficulties. His process of forming pills was much smoother than that of Feng Yu and Peak Master Sima, and he did not encounter so many life-and-death matters. The most dangerous thing he encountered was meeting Chi Liang, but this could not be completely blamed for the formation of pills.
More of them were implicated.
To form a pill, wouldn’t it be enough to have hands?
But obviously you can't say this, you will be beaten to death.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he could only stand up and say a few words:
"The process of forming an elixir is never easy. Besides, people are different and there are so many ways. There is no experience guide. To be honest, you need to make a lot of preparations in order to form an elixir. You should not be timid. You all know it. The wild forest is extremely dangerous, but Peak Master Sima and Peak Master Feng and I have all gone to the wild forest in order to form elixirs. This is the reason... Once we embark on this road, we should not shrink back and cannot see each other. When encountering difficulties, find another way and move forward bravely, only then can you have a clear mind."
This can be regarded as a little encouragement to the younger generations.
But Feng Yu, who was sitting next to Chen Ping, felt that something was wrong. This guy was very afraid of death. How dare he say that he was so brave?
It was true, Chen Ping had tricked him again. Feng Yu's eyes turned into lemon shapes.
"."
Not only was the meeting hall bustling, but the entire Lingxiao Sect was also bustling today.
The same is true for Sanxiu City.
Especially Yuncheng, there are lights and colorful lights everywhere. This is one of the most glorious moments of Yun Mansion.
Even Yun Wenting, the ancestor of the Yun family in the past, only built nine levels of foundation and failed to successfully form the elixir.
Chen Ping is the first Jindan monk who has a close relationship with the Yun family in so many years.
In a place in Yuncheng, Yun family disciple Yun Hong and several friends were gathering together to drink.
"If you ask me, our head of the family still has a good vision. When we were together with Senior Chen, he was only in the middle stage of foundation building. At that time, the head of the family was already in the late stage of foundation building. Hey, who knew that senior Chen, who was born as a casual cultivator, would make great progress all the way? He has become a great master in the Lingxiao Sect, second only to the leader." said a disciple of the Yun family.
Speaking of this, Yun Hong remembered that when the head of the Yun family, Yun Haitang, and Chen Ping were together, some people said they had been rumored by some people, saying that the dignified head of the Yun family actually committed himself to a casual cultivator with a lower level of cultivation than himself.
Thinking of this, Yun Hong chuckled, got up and walked out.
"Brother Yun? Where are you going? Don't drink anymore?" Someone shouted when they saw Yun Hong walking out carrying a wine bottle.
Yun Hong waved his hand and walked out carrying the wine bottle.
He walked to the junction of Yuncheng and Liangcheng next door, and walked into a casual teahouse with familiarity.
That teahouse was Liang Kuan’s favorite place to drink tea.
"It turns out to be Brother Yun. Come and sit down." Liang Kuan was indeed drinking tea with a few friends.
After Yun Hong sat down, he raised the wine bottle:
"Hey, what's your tea? Come on, let's drink."
"Brother Yun, this is a happy occasion for everyone." Liang Kuan took out the wine glass and looked at Yun Hong. He didn't know why he suddenly regretted bringing up this topic. After seeing Yun Hong's eyes, he vaguely sensed an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Hong said calmly:
"That's right. Hey, it's just the husband of the head of the Yun family who has formed a pill."
"Brother Liang, don't you think it's strange? How could a casual cultivator build a foundation, how could he, how could he, suddenly form an elixir?"
Several other casual cultivator friends laughed and said nothing, knowing that Liang Kuan had harmed the Yun family over this matter before.
Liang Kuan's old face turned red:
"Brother Yun has gone too far. I was under the influence of the devil and lost my mind. Stop talking nonsense. I can't bear it if this reaches Lord Chen Feng's ears."
"Why are you affected by the devil's will?" A casual cultivator teased:
"I heard about this back then. You also said that casual cultivators were destined to have difficulty becoming high-level monks. Later, I heard that after Senior Chen became the peak master, you wanted to visit him several times."
Chen Ping was born in a casual cultivator and has a high prestige among the casual cultivators.
"I was also rejected by the disciple who was watching the mountain gate. I saw it with my own eyes." Another casual cultivator added with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Liang Kuan's cheeks turned red.
"."
Main peak. Meeting hall.
After the celebration was more than halfway advanced, the discussion turned into a cocktail party, and everyone started talking openly. Many monks sitting nearby gathered together in twos and threes to communicate in low voices.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is back this time. He shouldn't go out again in a short time, right?" Peak Master Sima next to him asked in a low voice.
Chen Ping put down his tea cup:
"I won't be going out in a short time. What? Sima Feng wants to go out?"
"Yes." Peak Master Sima slapped his mouth:
"What I got is a fake elixir. I have been trying to fix it over the years, but those spiritual materials are really expensive. With the income from growing the spiritual materials, the spiritual stones will never be enough, and I have to go out."
The repair of fake elixirs is not just a matter of expensive spiritual materials.
The requirements for many spiritual materials are very demanding, and they may not be available for purchase, and even the sect may not be able to help. You have to work hard to find them yourself.
"Master Sima Peak runs a large spiritual field in the west of Qingyun Domain, right? How is the profit?" Chen Ping inquired.
He had previously learned that the spiritual field managed by Lord Sima Peak was different from the model managed by the Yun family.
The Yun Family Escrow negotiated a ratio with the Lingxiao Sect and took a share of the profits.
Because this model has the support of Lingxiao Sect, the Yun family will never lose money, it is just a matter of making more or less.
But Lord Sima Peak’s spiritual field is a rental model.
That is to say, you pay a certain rent, bear the costs yourself, and be responsible for the profits and losses, with no one to support you.
"There are good times and bad times." Peak Master Sima introduced:
"This model more tests the level of the spirit planter hired. If the management is better, the benefits may be greater. If the management is not good, especially if it is destroyed by some monsters, or the person who rents the lease is not strong enough and is secretly destroyed by other monks, That could be a huge loss.”
"But generally speaking, the income is better than the hosting model. We are the peak owners, and the proportion of rent we need to pay is very low."
Chen Ping seemed thoughtful when he heard this.
Both models have their own merits.
In other words, if you have confidence in yourself, then the second mode will yield better results.
"."
After the conference banquet, Chen Ping and Yun Haitang asked on their way back:
"How's the inspection by the Talisman Master team going?"
"Yun Lingshan is in charge of this matter. That girl is also very interested in the talisman." Yun Haitang smiled, looked at Chen Ping and said:
"There are quite a few talisman masters, but the Yun Mansion has not organized a team of talisman masters before. There is a big difference in talent among the talisman masters. Yun Lingshan may need some time to investigate."
Chen Ping had requested that he choose truly talented talisman masters.
"Yun Lingshan is so busy, why do you still want to learn talismans?" Chen Ping knew that Yun Lingshan had drawn talismans during her Qi refining period, and her talent was acceptable, but later on, there were many family affairs and she did not persist.
"Then she wants to learn on her own, what can I do?" Yun Haitang said with a smile.
Chen Ping felt that the wife was smiling a little inexplicably. He didn't know what she was laughing at, so he just said:
"You can't rush into building a team, and you can't rush into learning how to draw talismans. It will probably take a few years before it can be realized."
"I just had a chat with Master Sima about medicinal plant cultivation, and I think it's good."
Next, he mentioned Yun Feng’s thoughts from the past few days to Yun Haitang, and finally said:
"Yunfeng is right. After all, Xiaozhu Peak is just a place of cultivation, and the area is too small. The cultivation of medicinal materials must be based on quantity. How about the spiritual rice cultivation field currently managed by the Yun family? I want to expand the medicinal material planting area. The two ways to earn spiritual stones go together."
Hearing this, Yun Haitang agreed:
"Yunfeng has mentioned this to me before, but my husband didn't come back at that time, and Haitang also thought about it. In my opinion, it is indeed feasible."
"How about we go take a look now?"
Yun Haitang himself had thought about growing medicinal materials, but the Yun family had limited manpower, and the most important thing was that there were too few foundations to manage, so they had not expanded their business in this area.
Now that Chen Ping has the golden elixir and is strong enough, these expanded territories can be protected, and it is indeed worth the trouble.
"Yeah." Chen Ping nodded.
The two of them immediately returned to Xiaozhu Peak, took Yunfeng with them, and flew straight south with a whoosh.
The cultivation of spiritual materials not only requires spiritual energy, but also requires soil, environment, and even temperature and humidity.
You can’t just find a place to plant it.
Lingtian is located at the southern end of Qingyun Domain, about 2,300 miles away from Lingxiao Sect.
For Chen Ping today, this distance is less than twenty minutes, not too far.
There was a foundation-building monk from the Yun family on duty at the Lingtian site. After learning that Chen Ping and the others were coming, he immediately greeted them from the cave and introduced the situation of the Lingtian to the three of them.
This spiritual field was named 'Southern Purple Spiritual Field'.
Lingtian covers a total area of nearly 1,200 acres and is in the shape of a winding rectangle, stretching for two or three miles.
There are dozens of mortals and low-level Qi-training spiritual practitioners recruited here.
There is also a mountain behind the spiritual field with pretty good spiritual energy, which can be used for the monks stationed there to practice.
According to Yun Haitang's explanation, because purple spiritual rice has special requirements for soil, and because this land is located in the extreme south of Qingyun Domain, it has been inaccessible during the period of being occupied by demon cultivators, making the miasma here very abundant.
Today’s soil is perfect for growing purple rice.
After Chen Ping walked around, Yunfeng pointed to the other side of the mountain and said:
"Peak Master, this junior has investigated and found that the forest can be reclaimed to plant Jingmo Fulong Bamboo and Arrowhead Grass. The soil is very suitable. These two spiritual plants are particularly sensitive to water quality. This is The advantages of the Peak Master may not be cultivated by others."
Chen Ping had heard of these two medicinal materials.
A thin film will form inside the bamboo of Jingmo Fulong Bamboo. The toughness of this thin film is very good, and its spiritual power tolerance is also very good.
This kind of bamboo is used in weapon refining and formation disks, and is valuable.
Some talisman masters have even tried to use this film to directly replace animal skin and use it as the talisman skin for talismans.
And bamboo itself is also a material for alchemy.
Arrowgrass is purely one of the medicinal materials of a high-grade elixir.
When they turned to the mountain, Chen Ping understood why Yunfeng chose this place.
There is a medium-sized lake in the mountain stream here, which is just suitable for Chen Ping to use to improve the water quality.
And since it is far away from the sect, it can be done relatively unobtrusively.
"Another advantage is that the busy farming time of these two kinds of spiritual plants and the busy farming time of purple spiritual rice happen to be staggered. In this way, the spiritual planters here can be shared, which can further save labor costs." Yunfeng continued to introduce.
It can be seen that Yunfeng has thought about this job seriously.
I have thought about many issues in front of me.
"How many more spiritual fields suitable for growing these medicinal materials can be reclaimed from this area?" Chen Ping asked.
"About 600 acres. If the harvest is good, spiritual fields suitable for other medicinal materials can be cultivated in the future." Yunfeng made an estimate.
Chen Pingfei looked up at the sky.
Not many monks come here, and there are dense forests everywhere. Further south is the territory of other sects, but they are also thousands of miles away from other sects.
Suitable for development and farming.
If it could be planted, it might not be a good source of spiritual stones.
The current income from 70 high-grade spiritual stones per year is really small.
You can try it.
After Chen Ping fell, he said to Yun Haitang:
"Let's settle it like this. You go to the sect and rent this place. I will take care of the water quality."
After seeing Yun Haitang nodding, he said to Yun Feng:
"Director Yun can start organizing Ling Zhifu to open up this area."
Then he said to the foundation-building guest:
"This area is far away from the sect. Once the planting area expands, special attention must be paid to safety issues."
"Yes." The two agreed.
The expansion of planting area and increase in income means that their treatment will be improved to a certain extent. So both of them are very motivated.
'Although it is only over two thousand miles away from Xiaozhu Peak, which is nothing to me, it is still inconvenient for Yun Haitang and the others. It is a bit far. If you have the chance, you should buy a set of teleportation array and bring it over. '
The teleportation array is a third-level array. Not only is it expensive to purchase, but it also requires higher-grade spiritual stones as a source of spiritual energy after it is deployed.
Therefore, the cost of use is relatively high.
For a family like the Yun family, which operates small mines and spiritual fields, they do not have the luxury to use teleportation arrays to shorten the distance.
Otherwise, a considerable part of the income from a mine and spiritual field will be consumed on the teleportation array, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
But for Chen Ping, if this area becomes larger in the future, the teleportation array may be able to bear it.
After returning from Nanzi Lingtian, Chen Ping went to Xiaozhu Lake.
Standing on the bluestone by the lake, with a thought, the two red carps that had reached the full level swam over quickly, jumped out of the water, and then dived into the water with a "pop", making a huge splash. of waves.
Then he stayed in the water in front of Chen Ping.
Different from the size of the palms I just bought, the two Muhong carp are now half a foot long.
Um?
We haven’t seen each other for thirty years, but there are already three small Muhong carp?
This is a small surprise.
Save yourself the trouble of buying it again.
Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he greeted. Three small Mu Hong carps swam over immediately and got closer to Chen Ping.
"Come on, claim your master."
Chen Ping immediately used Mu Hongli's beast control technique to recognize the master's secret method.
The art of controlling beasts is performed one-on-one. It does not mean that after driving a pair of Mu Hongli, you can control other Muhong carps. Instead, you need to relearn the art of controlling animals.
The same is true for the eight-antlered deer, the cloud-chicken bird, etc.
However, because it was the same kind of spiritual beast, and his previous beast control skills had reached the full level, it would be easy for him to do it again now.
Maybe you can reach full level in a few months.
After the owner recognition ceremony was completed, Chen Ping put the three small Muhong carp back into Xiaozhu Lake.
Then he picked up one of the big Mu Hong carps.
"Hey, buddy, I have to separate you for a while. I'll reunite you as a couple after Xiaomu Hongli reaches the level."
Mu Hongli floated in the air very cooperatively.
Chen Ping wrapped it with spiritual power and put it into the spirit beast bag. Then he went to Nanzi Lingtian again and put Mu Hongli in.
The area of this small lake is larger than Xiaozhu Peak. One Muhong carp is obviously not enough, but it is not bad to temporarily improve some ecology. Anyway, it will take a certain amount of time to clear up the deep forest.
By then the three Little Mu Red Carps should have reached their level.
He didn't need to worry about the rest.
Just let Yunfeng take full responsibility.
Although Yunfeng is only a monk in the Qi refining stage, he has enough prestige because he is a member of the Yun family, and he wants to bring up his son, so he is very motivated.
Because he just came back after being away for decades, Chen Ping found that he had too many things to do.
But he wasn't in a hurry, he just had to do it one by one.
The first is to restart the brewing assembly line.
Three assembly lines operate simultaneously.
On the one hand, Xiyue needs it.
On the other hand, Yun Haitang has now entered the ninth level of foundation building and can start practicing the Ice Body Divine Code and drink some unknown wine.
The value of the nameless wine is different for each realm. Chen Ping once asked Xiyue in the Canglan Grassland during the golden elixir stage. The value of the nameless wine is to improve the integration of the golden elixir with the soul in the later stage of the golden elixir.
Therefore, he himself does not need nameless wine at the moment.
He didn't need to keep an eye on the brewing of the nameless wine. Xiao Hong could just watch it. Therefore, during the brewing process, he also thought about his next plan.
'Now that Xiaozhufeng has enough spiritual energy, Xiaozhufeng doesn't need to worry about it anymore. '
'You can get the medicine field and the talisman team settled first. Economy is the foundation of the upper-level construction. Only by figuring out the source of the spiritual stones can you practice without distraction. '
'As for spells and skills, let's take the time to go to the Scripture Collection Pavilion. '
