After Chen Ping came out of Changxing Trading Company, he walked around the city for a while before leaving the city and returning.
After walking more than a hundred miles, I couldn't help but sigh.
There are three people behind him who have been following him. He had already discovered it when he was in the city. He deliberately walked around the market in the hope of giving the other party a chance to make him give up.
However, these three people had no intention of giving up. Instead, they looked at him with more and more intense eyes.
It was as if he was a pile of walking spiritual stones.
And as the distance out of the city got farther and farther, the three of them followed closer and closer, and it seemed that they no longer cared whether Chen Ping noticed them.
Among the three people, two of them were 'acquaintances' they had just met on the street.
Precisely because he has always been within the perception range of these three people, Chen Ping cannot change his appearance and always looks like Lan Xianzheng.
Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to speed up and get rid of these three people, but he also thought that two of them were 'acquaintances' and might know his Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. If these people had malicious intentions and touched the sect, it would be more troublesome.
And he himself might come to this Seven Treasures City again in the future. It is not a good thing after all that there are several monks who are eyeing him.
The three of them are all monks at the seventh or eighth level of foundation building. There is no risk for Chen Ping to face them directly.
"Three fellow Taoists, we've been following you all the way. Aren't you ready to come out and meet us?" Chen Ping stopped.
As soon as these words came out, the three people several miles behind him paused, and then sped up to catch up.
The two male cultivators laughed in a friendly manner.
Among them, the male cultivator whom I met for the first time took a step forward:
"I heard from two Fellow Daoists Yang that they saw Fellow Daoist Lan in Qibao City. Thinking that I, Zhang Danian, was also an old friend of Fellow Daoist Lan, I hurried over and caught up with Fellow Daoist Lan to reminisce about old times. Don't mind, Fellow Daoist Lan."
"This place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. The three fellow Taoists were chasing after me like this. Those who didn't know it thought that the three fellow Taoists were planning to have evil intentions towards someone like me, Lan." Chen Ping chuckled.
After finishing speaking, the three people across from him narrowed their eyes.
The female cultivator took a step forward:
"Fellow Taoist is indeed not Lan Xianzheng. I can't even tell whether he is Zhang Danian or Zhang Chunhua."
"Tell me, what did you do to Fellow Daoist Lan? Fellow Daoist Lan is a close relative and friend of mine. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."
He talked about close relatives and friends, but his eyes revealed a burning feeling for property.
How could Chen Ping not know the purpose of these people.
Why.
Chen Ping sighed.
These people were given a chance.
But these people don't appreciate it.
The moment it was revealed that he was not Lan Xianzheng, Chen Ping had no reason to let them go.
"Fellow Taoist, put down the storage bag. I can get over this matter later." A male cultivator said sternly.
The three people changed their shapes instantly.
Surrounding Chen Ping in a triangle shape.
Chen Ping finally understood. Although they were close friends, the storage bags could be changed.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
After a few breaths, Chen Ping patted his robe, put away the extra evil-killing talisman, and disappeared into the forest into a stream of light.
Senluo Prefecture is really in chaos.
It has been several years since I came out of Lingxiao Sect, and this is the first time I have encountered such a thing as Dao Jie.
Or it could be said that it was the first Dao robbery incident he encountered after forming the pill.
…
Returning to Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, he returned to the evil spirit pool behind the sect master's mansion without disturbing anyone.
"How do you feel?" Chen Ping looked at Xu Ruyan in the evil spirit pool.
It's strange why this guy's clothes aren't soaked now.
"Master." Xu Ruyan stopped absorbing the evil spirit and looked up at Chen Ping:
"Yan'er has made a lot of progress. I feel that in a few months, she may be able to reach the third level."
Chen Ping nodded.
Breaking through from the second level to the third level is not a difficult process of enlightenment or elixir formation like that of monsters or human monks, but a smooth process.
You only need to continue to absorb evil spirits or suck the remaining souls to continuously strengthen yourself.
Breakthrough can be achieved when a critical point is reached.
As for the growth rate, or potential, it depends on the strength of the obsession in the heart when becoming an evil spirit.
The stronger the obsession, the better the potential for growth.
This is also the reason why some evil places often breed terrible evil spirits.
In terms of potential, Xu Ruyan is pretty good.
"You come out first, and I will try to see if I can collect these evil spirits." Chen Ping took out the 'Hundred Ghosts at Night' stone tablet.
After Xu Ruyan flew out lightly, he placed a token he got from Lan Xianzheng on a piece of blue rock next to the evil spirit pool to release the trapped evil spirit.
With a slight tremor of spiritual power, the stone tablet of the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts immediately levitated, and then at any moment, under the pull of Chen Ping's spiritual power, the evil energy in the evil pool actually gathered towards the stone tablet.
As soon as it touches the stone tablet, it is quickly absorbed.
He immediately increased the strength of the traction, and at the same time, his spiritual consciousness entered the stone tablet, and he saw that after the evil spirits merged into the stone tablet, they went straight into the bath, and the water in the bath began to turn blood red.
As the evil spirits continued to flow in, the color of the water in the bath continued to deepen, and the intensity of the evil spirits became higher and higher.
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel happy.
It actually works.
It seems that the bathhouse in this stone tablet itself is a pool containing evil spirits. It has just been placed in the underground palace of Canglan Grassland for too long, and the evil spirits inside have been exhausted.
In this way, it is equivalent to having an additional moving pool of evil energy.
This is much more convenient.
When Chen Ping was easily pulling away the evil spirit, Xu Ruyan was standing behind Chen Ping. She looked at Chen Ping's tall back, and by accident, she stretched out a hand and poked Chen Ping's back.
No touch at all.
This made her quite discouraged.
Seeing that Chen Ping was easily pulling away evil spirits, she thought about it and asked cautiously:
"Master, is it possible for Yan'er to reshape her body in the future?"
Seeing Chen Ping looking over, she quickly added:
"I, I just haven't felt like a human being for many years. I miss those days very much."
Chen Ping looked sideways at her and said with a smile:
"Want to reshape your body?"
"Think." Xu Ruyan said weakly.
Seeing her serious look, Chen Ping lost his intention to joke and truthfully introduced the information he learned in the book:
"Evil spirits are quite mysterious, and a lot of information is not known to everyone. I have read some books, but very little has been said about this aspect. Especially for high-level evil spirits, there are almost no relevant books. Introduce this.”
"But based on my understanding of spiritual practice, once your cultivation level is high enough, you can transcend the world. All things in the world arrive at the same destination through different paths. I think evil spirits should also have corresponding methods of transcendence. It's just that your cultivation level and mine are too low to understand. That’s all.”
"So if you really have this intention, instead of thinking too much, it is better to practice seriously. When your strength is high enough and you have access to more information, you will naturally be able to find a solution."
Chen Ping was not painting a cake for her.
Telling the truth.
Evil ghosts are demons and monsters that grow up under the gathering of remnant souls with lingering obsessions, constantly sucking in the filthy air between heaven and earth.
Not a living thing.
How easy is it to reshape the body?
Chen Ping at least believed that it was impossible for Jindan and Nascent Soul to have such means.
But beyond the Nascent Soul there is the Spiritual Transformation, and beyond the Spiritual Transformation there is a long road of cultivation, boundless avenues, and infinite possibilities.
Not to mention reshaping the physical body, it is possible to even send it back to reincarnation.
"Yan'er knows." Xu Ruyan smiled heartily.
In her opinion, it was hard to say whether she could achieve a high enough level of cultivation herself. But after spending several years living with her master day and night, she always felt that Chen Ping was not a simple person and that he was very likely to go a very long way in the future.
Chen Ping ignored her and continued to attract the evil spirit.
An hour later, the evil spirit in the bath was finally filled, and Chen Ping stopped.
He was not sure how long Xu Ruyan would be able to consume the evil energy in this pool, but it must have been a lot if it lasted for an hour.
"Master, is Yan'er still absorbing it here?" Xu Ruyan looked at the evil spirit pool where the evil spirit was obviously much thinner.
Chen Ping collected the stone tablet depicting the Night Journey of One Hundred Ghosts and said:
"Continue to absorb the evil spirit here. One year later, we will return regardless of success or failure."
"Yeah." Xu Ruyan nodded.
The time of practice always passes quickly. While Xu Ruyan is absorbing the evil spirit, Chen Ping is also focusing on practice in the quiet room.
Although the spiritual energy here is not very good, he has the third-level Mountain Guard Formation and the Qi Gathering Pill, which are barely enough.
His various spells also made steady progress during this period.
In fact, it didn't take a year. Only nine months had passed, and Xu Ruyan had successfully reached the third level.
The entire evil spirit pool has been continuously and uncontrollably consumed for more than a year. In addition, Chen Ping also extracted it once during this period, and it is now close to exhaustion.
There is no need to stay here any longer.
After Chen Ping brought Xu Ruyan out, he did not destroy the evil spirit pool cave, but destroyed the secret passage from the quiet room to the evil spirit pool cave.
On the one hand, it can keep the secrets here, and on the other hand, if you want to come back to use the limited evil energy in the future, it can be regarded as leaving a way out.
Before leaving, he called Elder Yuan over:
"I am leaving this time for the purpose of forming pills. Forming pills has always been difficult and unpredictable. It is hard to say whether this group of people will be able to come back. After that, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect will be handed over to Elder Yuan. If Elder Yuan finds it difficult one day, In order to continue, the sect can be dissolved at any time, so there is no need to wait for me to come back."
Chen Ping had already dealt with it to some extent in the past few days.
Those die-hard ghost cultivator disciples of Lan Xianzheng have been dealt with and fed to Xu Ruyan. These people, like Lan Xianzheng, take an extreme approach and are very ruthless. They often go to the mortal world to kill innocent mortals just to collect their souls.
As for the young deputy head with red lips and white teeth, he said he went to collect medicine for Chen Ping, but he never came back after the first meeting. Chen Ping didn't know whether the man died outside or took the opportunity to run away. In fact, this man was forced to do this by Lan Xianzheng.
And this Elder Yuan is an immortal cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training. He is an upright person and is the perfect candidate to take over the sect.
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Elder Yuan was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the leader actually allowed him to dissolve the sect.
Elder Yuan said quickly:
"Headmaster Lan will be blessed with good fortune and will be able to return smoothly. I will try my best to wait for the headmaster to come back."
Chen Ping stopped talking and said no more.
He had checked the sect's bills before. The sect was very poor and had very little savings. After he left, he believed that the sect would not be able to survive for long. But these have nothing to do with him.
He left the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect that day.
A few months later, I returned to Tianhai City, where I had been away for a long time. After telling me my name, I successfully obtained the soul whip that had been upgraded to a magic weapon from the city lord's mansion.
Not only the soul whip, Jia Zhongshou also presented some popular science books on magic weapons.
After getting the magic weapon, continue all the way west.
During this period, he passed through several large cities of cultivating immortals, occasionally stopping to see if there were any valuable treasures. When he returned to Lingxiao Sect, he gained a set of teleportation arrays with a teleportation distance of one hundred thousand miles, and a set of small protective gears. A mountain formation instrument, a bottle of liquid of five elements.
Just these three items have consumed all his savings.
After returning to Tianyan City, he immediately went to his shop, the 'Bamboo Talisman' shop.
"I've met Senior Chen." The person who greeted Chen Ping was Lin Chang'an, the son of Lin Changshou.
"Where's Yun Lingshan?" Chen Ping asked.
"Senior Yun received a letter from Lingxiao Sect a year ago, and has since returned to Lingxiao Sect early. Before leaving, Senior Yun asked junior to tell Senior Chen that everything was fine and the store was on track," Lin Changan introduced. road.
Chen Ping heard Lin Changan's hesitation in his words:
"Any other messages?"
"That's not true, but before Senior Yun left, I felt that Senior Yun's face was not good-looking." Lin Changan hesitated and said.
Chen Ping was slightly startled.
Could it be that something happened to the Lingxiao Sect?
But no matter what, I will know what the situation is after I go back in a few days.
Chen Ping then learned about the store's operations. As Yun Lingshan said, the store was completely on track before she left.
Because the talismans were of good quality and endorsed by Xiyue, the talismans in the Talisman Store were basically in short supply, and some caravans even made reservations here without getting the goods.
In terms of management, Lin Changan is currently just a trainee shopkeeper, and the person supporting the scene is still an experienced old shopkeeper transferred from the Yun family, which can be regarded as a good match between young and old.
Because of Xiyue's name and Senior Sister Guan's reputation, the store has been running smoothly without any trouble.
After Lin Changan walked away, Chen Ping asked the old shopkeeper:
"How is Lin Changan doing in business matters?"
"This guy is not bad. He is diligent, can endure hardships, is friendly and polite, does not panic when dealing with things, and can calm down and study. These are his advantages. But his knowledge reserve in store operations is a bit small. I have given him more advice over the years. Increase your efforts to learn the know-how in this area. Overall, it's a good idea." The old shopkeeper smiled.
Chen Ping smiled and said:
"Although he is the son of my friend, I don't need to praise him in full. Competence in ability is the minimum requirement. Please worry about these things."
"Don't worry, Master Chen. This is the responsibility of this junior." The old shopkeeper said quickly.
"One more thing. Since you are based in Tianyan City, you should also pay more attention to the auction and ask if there are any treasures such as golden elixir and liquid of five elements. If there are any, take them if you can. If the spirit stone If you don't have enough, you can just send it back with a letter. If you are in a hurry, you can also send a letter to the ninth peak of Tianyan Sect." Chen Ping explained.
These things will be useful not only for Yun Haitang, but also for his apprentice and eldest daughter-in-law when they enter the ninth level of foundation building in the future. There is no harm in preparing them in advance.
No waste will be caused.
"Junior, please remember." The old shopkeeper promised.
After understanding the situation of the store, Chen Ping went to Tianyan Sect without staying any longer.
