Tianhai City.
"Shopkeeper, have the items you pre-ordered arrived?" Chen Ping appeared in a pill shop.
At this time, four months have passed since the battle with the demons in the magic weapon. After slaying the demon that time, he came to the nearest immortal cultivation city - Tianhai City.
It is also the largest immortal cultivation city under the jurisdiction of Tianhai Lingyuan.
This sect is famous throughout the Misty Continent for being good at controlling beasts.
Chen Ping came here to ask for two things.
The first is to find a copy of the Snow Falcon Beast Control Technique.
The first is to help the eight-pointed deer form elixirs.
Decades ago, when Chen Ping first came to Tianyan City to make wine in the late stage of foundation building, the eight-pointed deer he encountered was already at the half-step third-level realm.
The lifespan of monster beasts will be much longer than that of humans in the same realm, so the time required for them to advance will be much longer than that of humans.
But even so, the Eight-Antlered Deer is only one step away from the best period of forming a pill.
If we go back this way, we should be able to have a breakthrough opportunity.
"Hey, it turns out to be Senior Chen, come in and take a seat." The shopkeeper greeted Chen Ping warmly when he saw him coming in.
Chen Ping followed him into the guest room:
"Looking at the shopkeeper's demeanor, he must have acquired it?"
This reservation-based process of purchasing valuable property is usually completed one-on-one in the VIP room, because shops need to provide confidentiality to customers.
"Fortunately, I have indeed acquired it. Senior Chen, please sit down and have tea. I will go and get it now." The shopkeeper smiled with a smile on his face.
What Chen Ping is looking for is the purple energy pill needed to help the eight-pointed deer form a demon pill and a book on how to help the monster beast form a pill.
Purple Qi Pill is a pill specially made by human alchemists for spiritual beasts to break through to the third level. It can increase the pill formation rate of spiritual beasts to a certain extent.
The book is similar and can protect the spiritual beast when it forms elixirs.
The shopkeeper quickly brought the elixirs and books. The elixirs were not cheap, but the books were relatively cheap. The two cost a huge sum of 120 high-grade spiritual stones in total.
However, the octagonal deer plays a big role in the ecological maintenance of Xiaozhu Peak, and the cost is worth it.
After confirming that the elixir was correct, Chen Ping went to the bookstore again.
Unfortunately, the pre-ordered Snow Falcon Beast Taming Technique did not arrive.
In the past four months, he had not only made reservations at the registration shop, but also paid attention to various auctions and casual repair shops, but he had not seen any relevant beast control books.
Even a large beast-controlling sect like Tianhai Lingyuan manages the third-level spiritual beast control skills very strictly and does not easily let out the relevant books.
"Senior, spiritual beasts like the Snow Falcon are extremely rare, and even Tianhai Spiritual Source may not have them. To say the least, even if they do exist, I'm afraid they won't be released easily. To be honest, our store also has branches in other Xiuxian cities. I haven't found the beast control skills for this kind of spiritual beast." The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully.
"Is there any other place where I can find this kind of beast control technique?" Chen Ping asked one more question.
I thought to myself that if it doesn't work, just forget it.
Snow Falcon is nice, but it's not worth the risk.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said:
"There is a Jindan senior named Xu Liang in the north of the city. You can go there to try your luck. However, this person has a weird personality and is not easy to deal with."
Xu Liang was originally a talented beast master of a large beast master sect. Later, the sect fell apart for some reasons and eventually fell apart and disbanded. Because of this, Xu Liang was forced to leave the original sect. After many twists and turns, he finally settled down in this immortal city.
Xu Liang swore to his master in his early years that he would only serve one sect in his life, and that was the original sect. So even though Tianhai Lingyuan Sect offered him an olive branch many times, he never relented.
He has been living here as a casual cultivator.
Because of his high level of cultivation, a ninth-level Golden Core monk, and the connection with Tianhai Lingyuan Sect, although some people coveted some of his potential beast-control treasure troves, they did not put them into trouble. Actions like killing.
At most, they just come to the door to ask for it openly.
However, Xu Liang became mentally ill after the original sect fell apart, and he didn't like dealing with others.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Chen Ping thanked him quickly.
After coming out, I walked around a few streets and changed my appearance again.
The security of such a large Xiuxian City is very good, and there is basically no danger of disaster. However, snow falcons are relatively rare and rare, so when they come to the store to buy related items, they always appear in disguise.
And now that the war between humans and demons is imminent, all means that can improve combat power are very popular. Such is the case with beast control. Therefore, many monks come to Tianhai City to seek opportunities, spiritual beasts, and magical powers.
A mixture of fish and dragons is most likely to cause chaos.
On the way back to the inn, he unexpectedly met Jia Zhongshou, who was coming out of a pill shop.
"Fellow Taoist, such a coincidence? You and I are really destined." When Jia Zhong saw Chen Ping, he came over with a face filled with joy as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.
Chen Ping was not surprised.
The second day after he came to Tianhai City, he saw Jia Zhongshou dragging his injured body into Tianhai City.
This is the closest Xiuxian city to the original battle site, and it is the best temporary residence for Jia Zhongshou to choose to heal his injuries.
I just didn’t expect that four months would have passed before we met for the first time in the same Xiuxian City.
At this time, Jia Zhonghuan was wearing a thick plush robe.
Chen Ping recognized this robe material.
This is a special kind of spiritual animal hair. It is one of the best materials for burning thermal formations. It is often used by monks with rare physiques who are extremely afraid of cold.
It is a special robe and is not common.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Jia. I'm glad to meet you." Chen Ping looked at his robe and said with a smile:
"Could Fellow Daoist Jia's physique be a rare frost physique?"
Jia Zhongshou heard this and said bitterly:
"Huh, it would be great if you really have this special physique, but unfortunately not. It's not a good place to talk too much. Since you and I meet here, we are destined to meet each other. Can we sit together in the teahouse?"
Chen Ping thought for a while and realized that this was not a barren mountain. There was no need to worry too much about being attacked by a sneak attack, so he agreed.
The two of them sat down in an elegant room of the teahouse that was soundproof and isolated from their spiritual consciousness.
It turns out that during the battle that day, Jia Zhongshou not only suffered physical damage, but also suffered damage from Capricorn's poison.
This toxin will cause him to feel chills and heat, making him extremely uncomfortable.
And it won't get better for a while, so I have to rely on elixirs to slowly adjust it.
After being rescued that day, he stayed in the forest for one night, but his injuries were too severe and he was not suitable for traveling long distances, so he came to Tianhai City. Because he knew the city lord, he stayed in the city lord's mansion and has been recovering in the mansion.
It was not until Qiqibaba, who recovered from his injury recently, that he came out.
"Frost constitution? I have an unlucky constitution."
"You don't know whether it's hot or cold at this time. It's like you were still in the extreme flames with your last breath, and you're in the cold pool of ten thousand years with the next breath. The most uncomfortable thing is when the cold and heat transform, it's like there are ten thousand animals in your body. The maggots gnawed at the flesh and bones, and it was painful. Fellow Taoist, you are lucky, you came into contact with that bitch without being poisoned by her."
Jia Zhongshou shuddered after speaking.
In the hot summer, he hugged the thick animal hair robe tightly.
He is very fat, and when he shrinks his neck, it seems as if his head is growing on his shoulders, giving him a funny feeling.
Chen Ping was professionally trained, so naturally he would not laugh at him, he just said:
"The demon probably wanted to keep me as a dual practitioner, so that's why I wasn't poisoned."
"Speaking of this, I was really afraid that my Taoist friend would take advantage of her when I was in the magic weapon, so I agreed to the girl's proposal." Jia Zhongfa was still frightened when he thought about it.
"Jia Daoyou looks down on people, don't you? Am I that kind of person?" Chen Ping's face turned dark.
"Jia is not that kind of person. I have very good concentration. To be honest with fellow Taoists, even if a female cultivator stands naked in front of me, she can still look at her without squinting." Jia Zhongshou laughed.
Just as he was saying this, he suddenly saw a group of female cultivators dressed in unusually eye-catching clothes from the Yingchun Building opposite, leaning on the railing to exhale.
For a time, the sound of warblers and swallows was endless.
The private room where the two of them were sitting faced the street, and through the window they could see the beautiful scenery opposite.
The lanterns hanging on both ends of the railing are really big.
The window paper is really white.
Both of them were attracted for a moment.
Jia Zhongshou's Adam's apple even twitched visibly.
In an instant, both of them reacted. They picked up their teacups and took a sip in a tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned the female cultivator again.
"We've known each other for so long, but you still don't know what to call your friend?" Jia Zhongshou changed the subject.
"Chen Tu." Chen Ping said calmly.
"Chen Tu? What a good name." Jia Zhongshou grinned.
"Fellow Daoist Jia is not a bad name either." Chen Ping said politely.
After hearing this, Jia Zhongshou scratched his head:
"Haha, this name was given by my master. When he saw me for the first time, he took me as his disciple on a starry midsummer night. Haha,... so I named him 'Zhongshou'."
Chen Ping's hand that was about to hold the tea cup stopped.
Talent.
It's not just ordinary people who can come up with this name...: "Your respected master must be a talented and knowledgeable person."
Jia Zhongfa grinned.
"By the way, did Fellow Daoist Jia and that demon meet by chance?" Chen Ping changed the subject.
Subtext: Is there still a feud?
Speaking of this, Jia Zhongshou's face turned dark:
"I don't know that demon clan, or I have never had anything to do with the demon clan. Now that the demon clan is raging, my talent in weapon refining is not low, so it is normal for me to be plotted by the demon clan."
"But it wasn't until I saw that Capricorn was so familiar with the layout of the magic weapon that I realized that this matter might not be simple. That magic weapon is the most precious treasure of my sect. It is a magic weapon created by our sect. The authentic one has always been held by the master personally. Even if Even if it is a replica, it is only circulated among a few people and has never been spread."
"The demons have no reason to know about this magic weapon."
Speaking of this, Jia Zhongshou gritted his teeth.
Obviously, Jia Zhongshou suspected that some of the core members of their sect had defected to the demon clan. This was probably one of the reasons why he returned to the original sect as soon as possible without being injured.
Chen Ping also felt nervous.
It seems that the demons are no longer willing to face a head-on battle. With their numbers obviously insufficient, they have begun to take a subtle approach, attempting to secretly subvert some sects and forces and destroy the combat power of the righteous monks.
In this case, everyone is at risk. Trust will decline further. The level of confusion will also increase.
Before the large-scale war between humans and demons in the future, countless small-scale battles between humans and demons will probably come first.
Chen Ping only hoped that the Lingxiao Sect would not have demons working on it.
"Not only the demons, but now the demon cultivators are also starting to make moves. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen has ever been to Xizhou and Xuantianzhou?" Jia Zhongshou's expression was not very good.
"What happened to these two places?" Chen Ping was slightly startled.
He didn't want anything to happen to Xihuang.
"I have been recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion these days. I learned the news from there that demon cultivators from these two continents have begun to leave their respective continents in large numbers and are active throughout the Misty Continent..."
According to Jia Zhongshou, these demon cultivators are rooted in remote places in various continents. Taking the demon cultivators in Xizhou as an example, they are rooted in the extremely barren Northern Desert.
It is precisely because of this that the righteous sects, especially the few top powers, did not kill all these demonic cultivators.
After all, they are also human beings.
However, with the emergence of demons, the repulsion of righteous monks towards demonic cultivators has intensified. Those powerful people who originally intended to protect the demon cultivators could not withstand the pressure and chose to ignore it.
Under this situation, the demonic cultivators in the Northern Desert were unable to resist. On the one hand, they could only move the sect further into the desert. On the other hand, a considerable number of the demonic cultivators began to leave the Northern Desert and enter every corner of the Misty Continent.
Many demon cultivators began to serve the demon clan.
Become a pawn in his massacre of righteous monks.
"I see, this information is extremely important to me, thank you Daoist Jia for letting me know." Chen Ping immediately clasped his hands.
The more information he hears, the better it will be for him to plan for self-protection.
"What did you say, Fellow Daoist Chen? Without the help of Fellow Daoist, I would have died in my magic weapon. How could I still be here today? By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't seem to be a monk from Tianhai City. Why did he come here?" Jia Zhongshou asked curiously. .
Chen Ping said bluntly:
"To be honest, I came here to ask for a rare spiritual beast control method. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it for three months."
"Are there any shops belonging to the Tianhai Lingyuan Sect?" Jia Zhongshou hugged his robe because he was afraid of the cold.
Seeing Chen Ping shaking his head, he said again:
"It seems that the books that fellow Taoists are looking for are not simple. Usually the beast control books of rare spiritual beasts are not disclosed to the public. Although I have some connections with Tianhai Lingyuan Sect, I am not a disciple of the sect. I am afraid that this kind of books cannot help. Fellow."
After a pause, his eyes lit up:
"Have you, fellow Taoist, met Mr. Xu in the north of the city?"
Chen Ping did not expect that Jia Zhongshou would also mention Xu Liang: "I have heard of Xu Liang's name, but I have never seen him."
Hearing this, Jia Zhong stopped laughing and said:
"Harm, then we should go to see Mr. Xu first. Fellow Taoist, I don't know. This Mr. Xu is a genius monk in the world of beast control. How should I put it? Let me think about how to describe his extraordinary talent. ... Well, probably that's it. Just like me in refining weapons."
Chen Ping:......
You just use different ways to boast, right?
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Chen saved me once, and I will help you once too. I, Shen Meng Dao, have a good reputation here. As long as I tell you my name as a monk, Xu Gong will definitely sell me a piece of cake." Jia Zhong raised his head and chest, and said He patted his chest loyally.
It seemed like this matter was wrapped up in me.
"really?"
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel happy.
He originally thought of going to see Xu Liang himself, but if he couldn't get the registration book, he would give up.
Although the Blood Falcon is good, if you need to take great risks to obtain it, then the gain will not be worth the loss.
But if Jia Zhongshou can get it easily and rely on his status, that would be the best thing.
"That's natural."
"Then we have fellow Taoist Lao Jia. Without further ado, let's go right away?" Chen Ping suggested.
He was not worried about owing Jia Zhongshou a favor, after all, he had just saved Jia Zhongshou's life.
Jia Zhongshou slapped the table:
"Look, I like this decisive style of doing things, so I said that I am destined to be a Taoist companion with Daoyou Chen. If it weren't for Chen Daoyou's character that I don't have a sister, I would definitely marry my sister to Chen Daoyou as a Taoist companion."
Chen Ping: ..."Fellow Daoist Jia, don't say anything anymore, let's go."
He is a loyal person.
If my sister says to sell it, I will sell it.
…
Xu Liang lives in a place with good spiritual energy in the north of the city. The cave house is large but simple.
Even crude.
There were basically no unnecessary objects in the whole yard, not even a maid was seen. I don't want to match the status of a late Jindan monk at all.
There is only a wooden sign hanging at the door of the yard. These words are written crookedly on it——
——"The cracker enters."
When Chen Ping and Jia Zhongshou arrived, there was no one in the yard. The door of the cave was open, but there were no lights inside and it was pitch dark.
Can't see clearly what's going on inside.
Jia Zhongtang took a look at the sign, and instead of entering the room directly, he said loudly:
"Fellow Taoist Xu, I'm here to collect it from Jia Zhong, the God of Meng Dao. My friend Jia wants to ask for something from fellow Taoist. Can you come into the house and talk about it?"
It was so lonely, not a sound.
Jia Zhongshou turned to look at Chen Ping, thinking that Xu Liang hadn't heard, so he turned around and continued shouting:
"Fellow Daoist Xu..."
"roll."
Before Jia Zhong could finish speaking, a powerful voice burst out, causing dust to fly in the yard.
Jia Zhongshou:...
Chen Ping:......
Jia Zhong smiled awkwardly and said softly:
"When I tell you the name of my master, Master Yuanying Zhenjun, he will definitely give me some sympathy."
Chen Ping smiled and thought to himself, you have already reported your sect origin, wouldn't Xu Liang just get out of here?
really.
I saw Jia Zhong collect his anger and said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, my master is the head of Shenmeng Dao..."
"roll."
Chen Ping:......
Jia Zhongshou:...
Jia Zhong blushed and had already praised Haikou in front of Chen Ping. Unexpectedly, Xu Liang was so arrogant that he was not prepared to give the master any favor.
The first word is 'get out'.
Jia Zhongshou is also a person with a temper:
"Damn it, Fellow Daoist Xu..."
"Bang."
A burst of aura turbulence spread, and Chen Ping and the two quickly used defensive techniques to resist the aura turbulence of the ninth level of the Golden Core.
The aura was not too strong, and Xu Liang obviously did not intend to kill anyone.
But drive people away.
Seeing that Jia Zhongshou wanted to come forward to argue, Chen Ping quickly stopped him: "Forget it, you can't force this matter."
"What kind of person is this? He won't even meet him once, and he will attack whenever he disagrees with him." Jia Zhong cursed, his neck was red.
Chen Ping is very tolerant.
Even if you don’t recognize someone, it’s your own choice whether you want to see her or not, and you have this right.
It is understandable.
It is unreasonable to be too demanding.
"Haha, these two fellow Taoists are also here to ask for the beast control skills of rare spiritual beasts, right? It's not like this. Do you see that sign? The cracker can enter. As long as the confusion of fellow Taoist Xu is solved, he will naturally be willing to trade. It's very reasonable to exchange one thing for another for what fellow Taoist monks want." Just as Chen Ping and the two were about to retreat, a monk in broad robes laughed and flew over.
After saying that, he ignored Chen Ping and the other two.
Instead, he confidently pulled out a piece of animal skin and threw it into the room:
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xu, you are well, and Ma is here too. The solution is in the animal skin scroll, Fellow Daoist Xu, let's take a look."
"Don't break your promise on that volume of books from Fellow Daoist Xu. Hahaha."
Before he finished speaking, the animal skin scroll flew into the cave. The moment the animal skin roll flew into the cave, Chen Ping felt a strong rhyme coming from the entrance of the cave.
…A high-level formation is arranged at the entrance of the cave.
Just when Chen Ping sensed the rhyme of the array, the animal skin flew out again.
Accompanied by Xu Liang’s sigh:
"wrong."
"Hey, I, Xu Liang, will never have the chance to take this step in my life?"
"This..." The smug toga-robed monk said, "How...how could it be wrong? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
At this moment, a small spiritual beast flew out, along with Xu Liang's voice:
"If you don't believe it, try it yourself."
