Despite the little goblin Yu Lingchun's interruptions day after day, Chen Ping's Cang Qiong Little Mountain Guarding Formation was successfully mastered after more than ten days.
Not only that, the other two sets of offensive and defensive formations have also been introduced.
One set is called "Hundred Flowers Totem Array".
This formation can activate the defensive effect to the outside world, and can also cancel the defensive effect, allowing enemies to enter it by mistake.
In this case, it can cause hallucinations in the wrong person.
Even inner demons arise.
This is a very dangerous formation.
The other set is called "Luoyi Huntian Formation".
This formation is a regular formation.
Those who set up the formation can complete certain actions according to the rules in the formation. Those who enter the formation by mistake need to break through the level and prevent attacks and traps in the level in order to find the formation eye and then get out of the formation.
The two formations each have their own characteristics.
They are all very good life-saving tools.
period.
The store is also progressing very quickly and is now basically completed.
Some of the talismans have already been sold in stores.
Because it is a store mainly for caravans to purchase goods, there was no grand opening ceremony and the operation started in a low-key manner.
Chen Ping saw that the store was starting to operate and had passed the initial troublesome period. He knew that there was no need for him to stay here anymore.
He knew very well about the demon clan that he didn't want to waste too much time, so he had to seize the time to improve his strength as soon as possible.
During this trip to Tianyan City, in addition to dealing with the store, we also solved the issues of formations and body-training techniques, and clarified the risks of the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword.
But the snow falcon in the spirit beast bag has not yet recognized its owner, and the map of the Hundred Ghosts at Night needs to be further excavated.
A few days later, he took Yu Lingchun back to Tianyan Sect again.
After sending Yu Lingchun back to the Ninth Peak, he went to the Tianyan Sect's Sutra Storage Pavilion.
Because of his previous experience with Senior Sister Guan taking him around, he found the Sutra Pavilion with ease and successfully entered with the token.
His identity is different from Senior Sister Guan and others.
Senior Sister Guan and the others are Xiyue's registered disciples, and on the other hand, they are also disciples of the Lingxiao Sect.
He is different, he is just Xiyue's registered disciple.
You can only enter the free reading area on the first floor.
The biggest difference between Tianyan Sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion and Lingxiao Sect's is that the first-level open area here is open to all disciples, and no merit is required to enter and read on their own.
Of course, you cannot borrow it, you can only read it on site.
This is enough for Chen Ping.
The second biggest difference between the Tianyan Sect's Sutra Pavilion and the Lingxiao Sect is that it is very big. The free reading area on the first floor alone has dozens of times as many books and area as the Lingxiao Sect.
With the help of the book boy, Chen Ping quickly found information about the ghost cultivator.
There are two aspects to improving Xie Sui's strength.
One is to provide evil spirit pills.
Or let the fostered evil spirit enter the evil spirit pool.
The so-called evil spirit is a series of indescribable things mixed together such as foul air, evil spirit, remnant souls, essence and blood, etc.
The second is to kill living beings.
That is to say, humans, monsters and other creatures with souls are used to feed evil spirits and help them grow continuously.
The first method is difficult, because the ghost cultivator is not tolerated by the world and has gradually withered.
There is basically no such thing as evil spirit pill among the famous and decent people.
Evil spirit pools are also rare.
The second method is easy to implement, but it is not what Chen Ping likes.
'In case of a real war between humans and demons, it is easier for oneself to take advantage of a magic weapon that does not follow routines, such as the Hundred Ghost Night Journey Map, so it is still necessary to study it further. '
'You need to know where you can get evil spirits pills, or where there are evil spirits pools. '
…
The ninth peak.
As soon as Yu Lingchun returned to the Ninth Peak, she was caught by Xiyue and called to the main palace.
"Lingchun, how have you been treated as my master these years?" Xiyue held up a large book titled "Summary of the Nascent Soul Realm" and read it, without raising her head, and asked as if nothing had happened.
Yu Lingchun, who was sitting in the guest seat below, didn’t know why the master asked this question, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that the master treated her really well and said truthfully:
"Master is very kind to Lingchun. Master is a great kindness. Lingchun will remember it in his heart for the rest of his life."
Xiyue said lightly: "Hmm":
"Master, have you told any lies over the years?"
Yu Lingchun was shocked, thinking that she had done something wrong, and quickly said:
"Master is an upright person. Lingchun has never heard of Master making any promises that he did not fulfill."
"Yes." Xiyue did not move, but the book in front of her automatically turned a page:
"Then would you lie to Master?"
Yu Lingchun broke into a cold sweat and quickly promised:
"Lingchun's life was saved by Master, so naturally she will not tell any lies to Master."
Hearing this, Xiyue raised her head and looked at Yu Lingchun:
"That's right. Master and disciple should be honest with each other between you and me. I would like to ask you, how much spiritual wine does your husband keep at your place?"
"Master, this..." Yu Lingchun reacted.
Only then did he realize that he had fallen into Xiyue's trap.
On the one hand, it is the husband's instructions.
On the one hand, it is Master's coercion and inducement.
She didn't know what to do for a moment.
I can only say weakly:
"...Husband...it's for the good of the master. I'm afraid that the master will not be able to drink after drinking it all at once."
"Look, Master only asked you how many pots there were, but he didn't ask you to come over. Does your husband keep the number of pots a secret?" Xiyue made a fierce look.
Yu Lingchun thought about it and realized that Chen Ping did not ask for these things to be kept secret. The purpose of Chen Ping asking her to keep them was just to prevent Xiyue from over-consuming the spirit wine.
Now that Xiyue knows it, there is no point in hiding the quantity.
Cai Dao:
"230 pots."
Xiyue's eyes widened for a moment.
My heart is ecstatic.
The previous agreement with Chen Ping was one pot every three months, which is 4 pots a year. These 230 pots are almost 60 years worth.
As long as the wine is at Yu Lingchun's place, it will be easy for her to fool her.
...This guy has some conscience.
...The care he took was not in vain.
However, Xiyue was very good at cultivating qi, so she didn't show any signs of joy.
Yu Lingchun saw that Master Xiyue was silent and couldn't figure out what the master was thinking. She was afraid of giving in to Chen Ping, so she rolled her eyes and said carefully:
"Actually, an important reason for my husband to open a Talisman shop in Tianyan City is to open up trade channels so that Lingxiao Sect's spiritual wine can be more conveniently delivered to the Master. My husband is thinking about the Master. .”
This is actually not what Chen Ping said, but Yu Lingchun's polishing, so after Yu Lingchun finished speaking, she carefully looked at the master on the throne.
Xiyue felt warm in her heart.
He looked at Yu Lingchun.
In the end, nothing was said.
Xiyue felt that Chen Ping, her apprentice, had a higher status in her heart, and she felt a little regretful that she had been angry with Chen Ping these days.
I feel like something is wrong with me.
Thinking like this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar bracelet on Yu Lingchun's wrist. She had never noticed any magic weapon worn by her apprentice before.
At this time, I couldn't help but look at it more. I felt a sense of irritability in my heart for no reason, and asked:
"Where did that bracelet on your hand come from?"
"This." Yu Lingchun didn't know why Xiyue suddenly turned to the bracelet again, but it didn't matter. As long as Xiyue no longer cared about the spirit wine, it would be a good thing.
She quickly raised her wrist to show:
"My husband gave this to Lingchun. I also have one. It's a complete set."
Yu Lingchun spoke with joy and looked at Xiyue with a smile.
Xiyue saw Yu Lingchun looking over, and her heart skipped a beat. She was suddenly nervous at this moment in her Nascent Soul. She quietly slid her sleeves down, covering her white wrists.
There, too, was a bracelet.
Exactly the same as Yu Lingchun.
It was given to her by Chen Ping when he attacked the mysterious ruins in Canglan Grassland.
She cursed Chen Ping secretly in her heart, but said calmly on the surface:
"It's very beautiful. Keep it well."
"Um."
"Go down and practice hard."
"Yes, Master."
After Yu Lingchun left, Xiyue's vigorous aura disappeared, and she took off her bracelet and threw it to the ground.
...bastard Chen Ping.
Her chest was rising and falling with anger.
After huffing for a long time, she stood up and walked down, bent down to pick up the bracelet, looked at it with twinkling eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief after checking that it was not broken.
He curled his lips and carefully put it back into the storage bag.
…
Chen Ping continued to look through the books in the Sutra Pavilion for a while, and after coming out, he went straight to the Ninth Peak.
After asking Senior Sister Guan, I found out that Xiyue was in the main palace, so I went directly to see the master.
"Disciple has met Master."
When Chen Ping entered, he saw Xiyue sitting on the main seat and reading a book carefully.
He looked attentively, and even had a slight smile on his lips.
It wasn't until he saw Chen Ping that he closed the book, and the smile on his lips instantly faded.
Not only did his smile fade, his face even became a little ugly.
Chen Ping just thought that she was still angry about the spirit wine and didn't think much about it.
She just didn't understand that the name on the cover of the book she was holding just now was "Summary of the Nascent Soul Realm". It was obviously an instruction manual, and no one could laugh at it.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Xiyue saw Chen Ping staring at her book and calmly put the book back into the storage bag.
Chen Ping went straight to the topic after seeing the ceremony:
"I dare to ask Master, is there still a ghost cultivator in this continent? Or maybe there is a sect that has great insights into ghost training."
"Want to know about the ghost path?" A trace of surprise flashed in Xiyue's eyes.
"The war between humans and demons is about to begin, but this disciple has no understanding of this lineage. I feel really uneasy. In the past few years, I have been exposed to some evil techniques to control evil spirits, and I want to know more about this." Chen Ping did not hide it.
Xiyue nodded slightly and said:
"It's not impossible, but a weird one can easily backfire on itself. If you are not careful, you may end up with a personal weird. This is why a weird one is hard to guard against, but few monks get involved. Contact Please be careful during the process.”
"The ghost cultivator has declined, and there are basically no authentic ghost cultivator sects. But it is inevitable that there will be some casual cultivators who have no hope of everlasting life on the righteous path. They will find another way and embark on this path. There is such a domain in Senluo Continent... .”
"If you want to go, I know a secret family there that I can introduce to you."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping thanked him quickly.
Then he asked Xiyue for the contact information of this secretive family and learned about its relevant situation.
Including the situation of Senluozhou.
Chen Ping found that as the questions deepened, Xiyue seemed to have forgotten about the spirit wine, her gloomy expression completely disappeared, and she answered all questions.
In this case, Chen Ping was too lazy to say more and said straightforwardly again:
"Master, my disciple has opened a talisman shop in Tianyan City, but if he doesn't stay in Tianyan City very often, I'm afraid he won't be able to maintain it. I wonder if Master can write an inscription on my behalf? I can borrow Master's prestige. , so that the Talisman Store can remain stable."
Chen Ping said as he took out the blank door plaque he had prepared earlier.
Xiyue looked at the plaque and asked out of nowhere: "Is your talisman shop here to earn spiritual stones?"
"Yes." Chen Ping was confused.
Who would open a store if not to make money?
Xiyue said nothing more, took a picture of the plaque, and asked, "I heard from you, Senior Sister Guan, that the name of the store is Zhufu?"
"Yes, Master."
Xiyue's consciousness moved, as if a flowing laser was hitting the wooden plaque, and the two Chinese characters "Bamboo Talisman" quickly appeared on the plaque.
Chen Ping didn't expect Xiyue to be so easy to talk to, and she wrote the inscription without asking.
I couldn't help but feel happy. With this plaque, the safety and security of the store has been greatly improved.
This plaque is more intimidating than dozens of golden elixir bodyguards.
Seeing Xiyue hand over the plaque, Chen Ping grinned:
"Master, I still need a signature."
Xiyue glanced at Chen Ping, but still didn't say anything, and wrote the word "Xiyue" on one side of the plaque.
"Thank you, Master."
Chen Ping took the plaque and thanked him immediately.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Chen Ping stood up and said goodbye to his master.
Soon I left the main palace.
As soon as I left the main palace, I saw Yu Lingchun waiting outside:
"...I have something to tell my husband."
Chen Ping looked at Yu Lingchun's pitiful look: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Master knows that the spirit wine is stored here in Lingchun, and also knows the quantity." Yu Lingchun said weakly.
Chen Ping suddenly realized.
I see.
Let's just say that although Xiyue didn't look good at first, she answered all questions later and didn't show much emotion.
It turned out that he knew the amount of spiritual wine.
Chen Ping looked at Yu Lingchun and knew what she was worried about:
"It's what I said, it's nothing. If Master wants to drink more in the future, just give it to her."
never mind.
Ignore Xiyue.
She was just a little bit happy.
Let her be.
The best thing to do is to brew a few more pots for her in the future. Anyway, all the spiritual materials for brewing are now provided by Tianyan Sect for free.
…
After leaving Xiaozhufeng, Chen Ping went straight to the Zhufu shop and met Yun Lingshan who was busy.
The plaque was handed to her.
Yun Lingshan said happily:
"Uncle Guan came here a few days ago. He said that the magic weapon shop next door wanted to ask Fairy Xiyue to inscribe the name, but was ruthlessly rejected. If Uncle Guan sees this plaque, he will definitely be jealous. Jump straight up."
Having Fairy Xiyue's title is more than just safety and security.
It is also a guarantee of credibility.
It's a sign.
There will be no worries when working together with caravans.
Chen Ping liked this feeling very much. With Xiyue's name in front of him, he could quietly make money from behind without worrying about being noticed by others.
Chen Ping then explained: The proceeds from the Fu Ling Store can then be transferred to Yu Lingchun.
He has already started refining his body and needs to prepare the relevant medicinal materials package.
In fact, the current income of the Talisman Shop is far from enough. The package of medicinal materials for body refining in the golden elixir stage is not an ordinary consumption of spiritual materials.
But now that spiritual stones are limited, we can only allocate less and use them sparingly.
"I will be out this time for a few months or a few years. You don't have to wait for me in Tianyan City. Once the store is on track, you can go back to Lingxiao Sect with the caravan." Chen Ping explained.
"Understood. Lingshan also wants to live in Tianyan City for a while and recruit some Talisman Masters here. There will be many more Talisman Masters here than around Qingyun Domain. If the master has not come back by then, Lingshan will go first Go back." Yun Lingshan promised, and then said affectionately:
"Master, take care."
"..."
