The front of the house doesn't look too big, and the front yard is small, but after entering the inner yard, I found that the back is quite spacious.
There are six rooms in total, which can meet Chen Ping's various needs such as practicing martial arts, refining weapons, and painting talismans.
The backyard is also quite large, suitable for practicing some less destructive spells.
The house itself was clean. After Chen Ping took care of it a little, he first engraved the word 'Chen's Mansion' on the plaque.
Then he took out the Cang Qiong Small Mountain Guard Formation and deployed it, covering the entire Chen Mansion.
The Cangqiong Little Mountain Guard formation was made by himself, and it was not comparable to the third-level formations outside. The Mountain Guard Formation has a built-in spirit gathering effect, so no matter how rich the spiritual energy is in the Chen Mansion, not much will leak out.
No one else can detect the abnormality.
Chen Ping looked at several rooms and set the most secluded one as the practice quiet room. The far one had been marked in advance as the best location for the ground fire, so it was naturally set as the weapon refining room.
Two more rooms were selected as the Talisman Making Room and the Body Refining Medicinal Bath Room.
Returning to the quiet room, a first-level spirit gathering array was arranged separately in the quiet room.
The first-level spirit gathering array's protective effect on spiritual energy is not that great, and it only has a certain spirit gathering value. In this case, as long as the heart of the spiritual vein is placed in the quiet room, it can ensure that the spiritual energy in the quiet room is the richest, but it will not completely block the spiritual energy, so that other places in the Chen Mansion can also have sufficient spiritual energy.
After setting up the formation, he took out the 'Heart of Spiritual Veins'.
Then he took out the 'Yun Shuang Yao Ling Box' given by Xi Yue.
The Yun Shuang Yao Spirit Box is hollow and looks much larger than the Heart of the Spirit Vein. However, when the Heart of the Spirit Vein is placed in the Yun Shuang Yao Spirit Box, the box shrinks automatically and becomes the perfect size.
At the same time, the beating rhythm of the spiritual heart also changed.
As if being comforted.
It has become a lot calmer.
Injecting spiritual power into the Yunshuang Yao Ling Box, the outer color of the Yun Shuang Yao Ling Box began to change slightly. According to Xiyue, adjusting spiritual power can control the extent to which the Yunshuang Yao Spirit Box releases spiritual energy.
Chen Ping slowly adjusted, and with the help of the spirit-seeking realm, he finally fixed the intensity of the spiritual energy at the level of the sixth-level spiritual land.
This richness is more than enough for him in the middle stage of Golden Elixir.
No more can be used.
He went out of the quiet room and sensed the intensity of spiritual energy in other rooms and the backyard of Chen's house, which was about the level of a fifth-level spiritual land.
That's enough.
After decorating the Chen Mansion, he did not rush to practice, but went outside for a walk by himself.
After all, I will live here for many years in the future, so it is necessary to understand the situation of this fairy city.
After observing and asking around in the city, no one here pays attention to the demons. Even if they talk about it, they only talk about the troubles of the demons in other continents.
It can be seen that as Xiyue introduced, there is no need to worry about the threat of demons here.
Perhaps it's because the security here is pretty good. Although there are a lot of people here, everyone's demeanor is very relaxed, and there is no such thing as being wary of others at all times.
After walking around for a while, Chen Ping felt even more relaxed.
It seems that this place is quite suitable for practice.
It wasn't until the evening that he bought a magic weapon bathtub in a magic weapon shop, and then returned to Chen's house.
I continued to walk around the city for the next two days.
Two days later, he started building his own weapon refining room.
During the calamity of Tianyan Sect, all the utensils and tools needed to build the refining furnace had been purchased from Ximen He, including the books.
So now you just need to build the refining furnace step by step.
The most critical step in building a refining furnace is to obtain earth fire. Chen Ping followed the techniques he learned from Ximen He and beat a long whip into the ground.
Then recite the incantation silently, escape into the ground, and according to the magic weapon's perception of the earth fire, constantly sense the purest place of the earth fire, and then pull the stick of the magic weapon downward continuously.
It stands to reason that this kind of immortal city usually has a large defensive formation, and such a large formation usually covers the ground.
But it might be because this is where weapon refining is concentrated, and the city defense formation was buried deep enough that Chen Ping didn't encounter the presence of the city defense formation when he was escaping downwards.
So much the better.
Generally speaking, the deeper the underground, the purer and stronger the earth fire is, and the more conducive it is to refining weapons.
Chen Ping's earth escape technique is at full level, and he can go down more than a hundred miles, which is something that no one else would dare to think of.
He can slowly choose the best source of earthly fire.
After going more than eighty miles underground, Chen Ping finally found the source of the underground fire, which meant that the underground fire would not change if it continued downward. He fixed the magic weapon at the source of the earth fire before returning to the room.
Set up the floor stove according to the tutorial.
Then he tried it, Wei Wei cast a spell, and a stream of pure earth fire suddenly emerged from the earth furnace.
He felt that the purity of this earth fire was even purer than that of Ximen He in Tianyan Sect.
The flame intensity is also stronger.
This may be because, on the one hand, the underground fire in this house itself is very superior, and on the other hand, his magic weapon penetrates deep enough.
Chen Ping took out the bottom plate of the magic weapon and began to practice the art of refining it.
He did not rush to refine the magic weapon of his life, but first learned the art of weapon refinement and waited until he became an excellent third-level weapon refiner.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
'After practicing day and night, I finally cultivated the second-level sword to a 'perfect' state. '
Chen Ping exhaled, walked out of the inner palace, and came out to get some air.
In the past three years, he has never left the Chen Mansion. He has always been walking back and forth between the quiet room, the body refining room, and the weapon refining room.
It is worth mentioning that he has also practiced the Hundred Poisons True Demonic Skill well in the past three years.
After breaking through those erroneous spells, the progress was significantly accelerated, and Yu Lingchun helped prepare enough high-quality medicinal packages.
After three years, I have now broken through and entered the 'Grandmaster' realm.
When the breakthrough from 'Expert: 99/100' to 'Grandmaster: 1/100' occurred, there were certain cyclone phenomena. Fortunately, there are many high-level monks in Tianyin Fairy City, so the phenomenon caused by such practice may appear from a certain corner every once in a while, and it will not attract the attention of others.
now.
He looked up to the sky and could see heavy snow falling outside the formation above Immortal City.
The Tianyin Immortal Realm is further north than the Piaomiao Continent, where it is colder and the snow is heavier.
Of course, that was outside Fairy City.
The fairy city is like spring all year round.
'It's the snowing season again. I wonder if the Piaomiao Continent is blocked? '
'I wonder if Xiyue's injury has healed? '
Chen Ping stayed in the front yard for a while and then returned to the house to continue refining the weapon.
The snow stopped and fell, and then stopped again.
More than four years have passed, and his third-level magic sword refining technique has finally reached its maximum level.
Not only that, he also specialized in some ancient weapon refining techniques during this period.
After all, the natal magic weapon he is going to refine is the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, and the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is an ancient treasure and requires the use of ancient weapon refining skills.
'First, let's study the ancient weapon refining skills in depth. There is no room for error in the natal magic weapon. '
Chen Ping walked out of Chen Mansion and walked towards Fangshi.
The training bases of ancient weapon refining are different from those of today's weapon refining. The ancient weapon refining bases I got from Ximen He have been used up and I need to buy some new ones.
Such a large city of cultivating immortals and having a centralized place for refining weapons, so there should be no base for ancient weapon refining.
He walked slowly in the alley in the spring breeze, admiring the changes in this fairy city. This was the first time he walked out of the Chen Mansion in seven years.
"Fellow Daoist Chen?"
In the largest utensils store in Tianyin Fairy City, Chen Ping had just finished purchasing a batch of bottom plates for ancient artifacts when a voice suddenly came.
This voice is somewhat familiar.
Chen Ping turned his head and looked subconsciously.
"Fellow Daoist Jia?"
This person is none other than the weapon-refining genius Jia Zhongshou whom Chen Ping met when he was traveling in search of evil spirits pills. The soul-drawing whip was brought back to the sect by Jia Zhong and transformed into a magical weapon.
"Is it really Fellow Daoist Chen? What a coincidence. Did Fellow Daoist Chen come to Tianyin Immortal City just now? It's not peaceful outside now. Many continents have been blocked. It's not easy to come to Tianyin Immortal City." Jia Zhongshou stepped forward happily.
Chen Ping was also happy to meet an old friend in a foreign country.
It happened that the two of them had nothing urgent to do, so they sat down together in the VIP room on the side.
"I have been in Tianyin Immortal City for seven years, not just here. Where is Fellow Daoist Jia?" Chen Ping said.
"Seven years? I'm a little older than Chen Daoyou by two years. I didn't expect that you and I, living in the same fairy city, would meet each other after seven whole years. It's really not easy. Hey, it's my fault too. Not many came out, just a month or two. I only came out once, if I had come out a few more times, I might have met fellow Daoist Chen." Jia Zhongshou was quite emotional.
The two continued to chat.
Only then did I realize that the two of them actually lived on the same street, both of which were Lianqi Street.
And it's not far away.
Jia Zhongshou came two years earlier, and because of his wealth, he lived in a cave. After hearing Chen Ping's address, he knew that the aura of Chen Ping's house was not very good. He originally wanted to tell Chen Ping that he saw that there were two houses with good aura that were still available for rent, but he thought about whether Chen Ping He did it intentionally to save spiritual stones, so he didn't say much.
After chatting for a while, Jia Zhong asked: "Has Xu Liang ever gone to see Daoist Chen?"
Xu Liang?
Chen Ping recalled for a while, then recalled that it was the late-stage Jindan monk whom he had exchanged for the Snow Falcon's beast-controlling skills, and said in confusion:
"No, what does he want from me?"
"What can he do to you? He wants you to help him solve a puzzle about beast control. If you ask me, Chen Daoyou is really hidden. At that time, I was still wondering who could solve the problem that Xu Liang had been pondering for many years, and could make Xu Liang know it overnight. It disappeared. It wasn’t until Xu Liang found me later that I knew it was Taoist Chen who solved it." Jia Zhong said jokingly.
"Later, Xu Liang encountered new problems and failed to successfully rescue his master. Then he searched all over the world for you, Daoist Fellow Chen, but he knew very little about you and couldn't find you."
"But I don't know where he got the information. He knew that you and I have some friendship, and then he ran to my sect and begged me to help find you."
"How do I know where Fellow Daoist Chen is from? But he didn't believe it and still begged me. Later he saw me coming to Tianyin Fairy City and followed me. I thought he had seen Fellow Daoist Chen." Talking about being pestered and begged by Xu Liang During those days, Jia Zhongshou kept smiling bitterly.
"He hasn't come to see me. Maybe he doesn't go out much." Chen Ping nodded seriously.
Jia Zhongshou was stunned for a moment and said:
"Xu Liang doesn't go out less, he goes out too much. Although he lives in Tianyin Fairy City, he has left Tianyin Fairy City for six or seven years. He said he was going to try his luck in other places in Tianyin Fairy Domain to see if he could Clear up the confusion.”
Really persistent.
Chen Ping declined to comment.
They chatted about the situation in Yinxian City again.
Jia Zhongshou himself was a monk who was an weapon refiner, so during the years he lived in Tianyin Fairy City, he basically worked in his old profession, working as a monk while earning spiritual stones by refining high-end magic weapons for others.
Today, I met Chen Ping when I went to the store to deliver goods.
"I just saw that Fellow Daoist Chen was buying some floorboards for ancient weapon refining. Fellow Daoist Chen has also started to practice the art of weapon refining?" Jia Zhongshou helped Chen Ping refine the soul whip and knew that Chen Ping was a novice in weapon refining.
When talking about this, Chen Ping's eyes lit up.
Not long after I started learning ancient weapon refining, many books on ancient weapon refining were incomplete and difficult to understand, so I learned very slowly.
Although there is guidance from the panel, if '1+1=2' also needs to be taught by the panel, it will be like a snail.
I learned some from Ximen He at first, but after all, Ximen He is a sword cultivator, not a serious weapon refiner, so the information is somewhat limited.
I wonder how much Jia Zhongshou knows about ancient weapon refining?
He immediately asked:
"I just started learning. Does Jia Daoyou know the ancient method of refining weapons?"
"Hey, we, the weapon refiners, have learned from the ancients. If we want to become the best weapon refiners, how can we not understand some ancient weapon refinement skills? We can make progress day by day by using the ancients as a mirror." Jia Zhong smiled.
Chen Ping was delighted:
"Then I wonder if it would be convenient to ask fellow Taoist Jia some questions? Of course, if you ask about something related to the inheritance of your sect, you can just not answer."
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Chen, look down on people? You and I are life and death friends, but it's okay to ask." Jia Zhongshou generously patted his plump body.
Because it is not convenient to discuss these in the store, even if you have just taken a silent note, it is not suitable.
So Jia Zhongshou proposed to go and sit in his cave.
By the way, on-site teaching.
Chen Ping immediately thanked him.
It has to be said that Jia Zhongshou's theoretical knowledge of ancient weapon refining was much more solid than Ximen He's. He could give detailed answers to basically all Chen Ping's doubts.
Some techniques of ancient weapon refining are very different from current weapon refining techniques. It is like the 'Wubi Input Method' and the 'Pinyin Input Method'. The final output is the same text, but the principles are very different.
Chen Ping needs to transform the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword next, so he naturally needs to know the secrets of ancient weapon refining in detail.
Not only do you need to know it, you also need to be able to refine it.
And Jia Zhongshou is now such a treasure house.
This benefited Chen Ping a lot.
It was not until evening that Chen Ping came out of Jia's mansion.
It was getting dark when I walked on the street, but the security in Tianyin Fairy City was always very good, so there was no need to worry about safety.
After walking a certain distance, Chen Ping couldn't help but frown slightly.
He paused and walked around to another less traveled road.
After walking to a deserted area, Chen Ping silently took a few silent notes, and then slammed the ground with one hand.
As the consciousness and magic quickly penetrated the underground, a paper man deep underground quickly fled.
However, Chen Ping's spell came instantly and exploded underground.
The paper man immediately turned into powder.
He didn't stop, turned around and left quickly.
When he just went to buy a refining baseplate, he noticed a paper man walking underground. He knows a little bit about this kind of magic.
It's the 'Paper Man Soul Possession Technique'.
The operator can separate a branch of his own soul and attach it to the paper man, which is equivalent to a clone that can leave the body. It is often used to inquire about information or track others.
There were many people on the street at that time, and Chen Ping was not sure whether the paper man was following him.
In other words, he prefers to believe that he is not being followed.
Although he has been in Tianyin Fairy City for seven years, he has only gone out twice. It is unlikely that he will be missed by others, let alone offend others.
No reason to be followed.
However, when he went to the magic weapon shop, the paper man parked far outside the street. When he came out of the magic weapon shop, the paper man continued to follow him and Jia Zhongshou.
This is why Chen Ping readily agreed to visit Jia Zhongshou's house. He wanted to see if this paper man was following him.
As a result, I stayed in Jiazhong's house for most of the day, and when I came out at night, the paper man was still waiting outside.
He was actually following him.
Only then did he have to take action to eliminate the opponent.
…
In an attic.
"Hiss, it hurts me to death." A female cultivator in pink robe grinned in pain and cursed:
"This man is so cruel and ruthless. I was just following him, and I didn't harm him. He actually attacked so hard, destroying my paper figurine, and not letting go of my distraction. Hiss."
"Senior sister, stop scolding and take a pill quickly." A young male cultivator quickly handed over a pill.
The pink female cultivator swallowed the pill, rubbed her head and continued to curse:
"To put it lightly, do you know how painful this is? Hiss, when he becomes a disciple one day, if I, as a senior sister, don't conquer him well, my attack will be too cruel."
"Become a master?" The male cultivator handed the female cultivator another cup of spiritual tea: "Is he really the person that master has been looking for all these years?"
The female cultivator still rubbed her head:
"It's unmistakable. The cyclone that appeared in his house a few years ago was a sign of his success in practicing the Hundred Poisons True Demonic Art. When I saw him today, I felt at close range that he must have practiced the Hundred Poisons True Demonic Art and made good progress. "
"Senior Sister, there is actually something that Junior Brother has never known." The male cultivator thought for a moment and then asked.
Pink nun:
"Actually, you've already guessed a bit, haven't you? You've heard some rumors from the public, haven't you?"
"It's okay to tell you. Back then, in order to please the master, the Taixu Sect used a pretense to release this deliberately wrong practice to the outside world in order to help the master find a person he likes."
"As long as someone practices such a technique and has practiced it to the wrong point, he must be a genius in body training. In this case, when this person cannot continue practicing, he will definitely go back to Taixu Sect to ask for advice. It’s a pity that no one has set foot in Taixu Sect for so many years.”
"Master and Taixu Sect have been searching for him for so many years without success. I never thought that one would come to our door now."
"So that's it." The young male cultivator suddenly realized: "Then the rumors about Master are also true?"
"it is true."
The young male cultivator sighed:
"Hey, that kid is really cheap."
Senior Sister Pink rolled her eyes at Junior Brother.
He bared his teeth and rubbed his head:
"Today is not without success. Let's go and find Master."
…
