Chen Mansion.
Under the sun, in the pavilion, there is a gentle breeze.
A thick stack of books was placed on the stone table, and the pages turned by themselves in the breeze.
Chen Ping sat aside, 'reading' the contents of the jade slips.
Stallkeeper Gu didn't lie at all. Although this jade slip was just a popular science material for "Liangyi Shangqing Immortal Kung Fu", it introduced the technique in detail.
It includes the advantages and disadvantages of the exercise, the physical fitness suitable for practicing this exercise, and the challenges of practicing it.
If you want to practice, which sects should you join to have a chance to get this skill?
The pros and cons of the exercises for both parties involved in dual cultivation.
It even includes the experiences of some monks who have practiced this technique in the past and their warnings to future generations.
As stall owner Gu said, after reading this booklet, you can basically know clearly whether you are qualified to practice this dual cultivation method?
Chen Ping carefully read the contents of the jade slip and took back his consciousness.
The moment his consciousness left the jade slip, a long crack appeared on the jade slip.
But Chen Ping no longer cares, the information he wants to know has been learned.
The most important thing is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this exercise for male practitioners.
The advantage is that it is of great help to the progress of male cultivators and is more valuable than conventional elixirs.
The shortcomings are nothing.
If I have to talk about a shortcoming, it is that during the dual cultivation process, if the male cultivator is too weak, he will not be able to bear it. In extreme cases, the male cultivator will even die of exhaustion.
Of course, this is an extreme case.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Chen Ping felt a little more at ease.
At least Biyuan and Shiba didn't lie to him in this regard. This technique is not a scumbag that treats male cultivators as female cultivators.
Among the dual cultivation techniques he knew, there were indeed some extreme ones that harvested yang and replenished yin. In the end, the male cultivator became a tool for the female cultivator and died.
Chen Ping picked up the books on the stone table and read them one by one.
These books were all carefully selected by him, and they contained more or less information about Fairy Biyuan's past. Some were rumors about Fairy Biyuan's participation in decision-making on major sect affairs, some were about the battle between Fairy Biyuan, and even some A biography of Fairy Biyuan.
Chen Ping has no intention of knowing the past of Fairy Biyuan.
He just hoped to figure out from these incidents whether Fairy Biyuan was a cunning and insidious person, and whether she was a person without any morality.
These books are not official books circulating openly. Unofficial histories are most likely to describe the obscure side of a person and are most valuable for understanding a person's true situation.
After one finger of incense, all eighteen books were read.
I felt a little at ease again.
This day.
While Chen Ping was practicing, Xu Liang suddenly visited.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, excuse me." Xu Liang looked at Chen Ping with haggard eyes, rubbed his hands and smiled when he saw Chen Ping opening the door.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please come in." Chen Ping greeted.
The two chatted while entering the room. Chen Pingyuan thought that Xu Liang came because he heard from Jia Zhongshou that he had something to do with him. In fact, this was not the case.
Xu Liang had just returned to Tianyin Fairy City from outside, and then went directly to find Chen Ping. He had not seen Jia Zhongshou before that.
"Fellow Daoist Xu has been busy exploring the situation of Taoist Taoists with white beards these years?" Chen Ping asked.
Xu Guangming nodded:
"Yes, but not entirely."
"On the one hand, I was exploring the clues of the White-bearded Taoist and got some information. On the other hand, I was also trying to find some opportunities for promotion. I have been on the ninth level of the Golden Core for nearly two hundred years. I wanted to see if there was any chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul. .”
"I wish fellow Daoist Xu a smooth breakthrough in advance." Chen Ping smiled.
Xu Liang also smiled. He has been in the late stage of Jindan for more than two hundred years. He originally had good talents, but his mind has not been on this in recent years. It may not be easy to break through Nascent Soul easily.
But he didn't say anything, he just said:
"How is your practice of "Lost Soul Eagle Beast Taming Technique" going, Fellow Daoist Chen? Don't mind, Fellow Daoist Chen. I'm just asking. If there's no progress yet, don't worry."
"Some elements have been solved." Chen Ping took out the animal skin.
Xu Liang took the animal skin scroll and spread it out on the stone table. He was holding a teacup in one hand and was ready to drink tea. But when he glanced over, the teacup in his hand was placed on the table with a clang, and his eyes never left the animal skin scroll. .
"If the master is still alive, Xu will definitely recommend Daoyou Chen to get started and become the master's direct disciple. Chen Daoyou's talent in beast control makes Xu admire him."
Xu Liang, as a person who has practiced this magic in depth, and as the founder of this magic, after seeing the magic formula provided by Chen Ping, he could see the extraordinary in it at a glance.
The tone was exciting.
Chen Ping waved his hand:
"Fellow Daoist Xu is overly praised. It's just that he received some inheritance from an old Taoist before and has a certain understanding of the Soul Splitting Beast Control Technique itself. I was lucky enough to capture some insights. I don't know if it will work."
Xu Liang said excitedly: "In Xu's opinion, these magic formulas that Fellow Daoist Chen has comprehended are indistinguishable."
After a pause, Xu Liang excitedly raised his hands to Chen Ping:
"Chen Daoyou is really Xu's benefactor. This kindness will be remembered forever. As the same saying goes, if there is a need for Xu in the future, Chen Daoyou will do it. Xu will not hesitate to go through fire and water."
"Fellow Daoist Xu said something serious." Chen Ping paused and said:
"But there is something."
"The moment Fellow Daoist Xu can successfully communicate with your Master, I want to know the information that your Master has learned. If possible, I hope to communicate with your Master face to face."
Xu Liang nodded and said:
"That's no problem. If the master knew that it was Daoyou Chen who saved him, it would be too late to thank him, let alone some known information."
"..."
Next, Chen Ping told Xu Liang not to mention him to the outside world, let alone tell anyone that the breakthrough in this spell was related to him. Even when Jia Zhong asked about it, it could be said that it was a combination of the two people's efforts. .
Xu Liang agreed wholeheartedly. Xu Liang also knew that what he was doing was to avenge his master, which was risky. If he revealed it, he might drag others into trouble.
Moreover, when it came to avenging his master and finally killing the Baishou Taoist, Xu Liang just wanted to do it himself and did not want anyone to get involved.
Xu Liang left in a hurry without further chatting. He couldn't wait to continue practicing this spell for a while, and then rescue the remnant soul of his master.
Chen Ping went out once and went to a medicinal shop.
Unfortunately, I asked for brochures on the medicinal packages on sale at several medicinal material shops, but I couldn't find the medicinal material package I needed for body refining.
But think about it, for the same body refining, different levels of body refining may correspond to different medicinal material packages, which are different and not universal.
The medicine shop only has some common body-refining medicine packages.
"There are always these medicinal materials, right?" Chen Ping handed the shopkeeper a list of medicinal materials that scrambled the order of the spiritual materials and mixed in a few ordinary spiritual materials.
The recipe for the medicinal ingredient list was given by Yu Lingchun.
According to her previous letter to Chen Ping, it can be seen that the formula was obtained from the Xiuxian City near Taixu Sect by asking Senior Sister Guan. This kind of formula is very common in Xiuxian City near Taixu Sect and is not rare.
Of course, the medicinal formula has also been improved by Yu Lingchun.
Although Yu Lingchun was in the Foundation Establishment stage, she began to help prepare medicinal materials when Chen Ping was still in the Foundation Establishment stage. After arriving at Tianyan Sect, she read countless books on this subject.
In addition, she has a unique talent for spiritual plants, and has an extraordinary keen insight and understanding of the combination of medicinal materials.
Ability to modify formulas.
Not even weak.
Chen Ping himself had bought herbal medicine packages from the market before, but they were really not as effective as those given by Yu Lingchun.
The shopkeeper took the list, read it carefully, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist, just come to our store."
"There are some medicinal herbs in this list that are relatively rare. You may not find them in other stores if you go to other stores. But we have them. Our store can be said to be the largest one in Tianyin Fairy City. Moreover."
The shopkeeper pointed to the signboard:
"This store is an industry under the Tianyin Sect. It has high security and high confidentiality. The alchemists in Tianyin Fairy City like to buy goods from our store."
Chen Ping had long noticed their sign and took a fancy to this.
"Calculate the price based on the quantity in this list." Chen Ping nodded.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."
After a while of busyness and bargaining, Chen Ping bought 1,000 packets of medicinal materials at one time. Based on his current consumption of 2-3 packets per month, he can last for more than thirty years.
If it’s not enough then let’s talk.
More than 15,000 high-grade spiritual stones were spent on spiritual stones.
After doing this calculation, I realized that these packages of medicinal materials were not cheap. After calculation, one package contained about 15 high-grade spiritual stones.
At that time, Yu Lingchun provided far more than 1,000 packages of medicinal materials.
This is a significant expense.
Although all the spiritual stones earned by the Talisman Shop in Tianyan City were sent to Yu Lingchun, they were only a few thousand high-grade spiritual stones at most, which was far from enough.
But Yu Lingchun has never mentioned the issue of spirit stones in these years.
I don’t know where she, a foundation-building monk, got so many spiritual stones.
Chen Mansion.
Chen Ping placed the purchased medicinal materials one by one in the inner courtyard.
These are all spiritual materials in bulk, and you need to weigh and prepare them yourself.
It’s not just a matter of preparation, but also cutting and selection.
For example, one of them is 'Bai Qian Xia Wu Cao'.
Instead of putting the whole plant into the medicine bag, you need to separate the stems and leaves and take only one stem section.
This stem is also not put directly into the medicine bag. Instead, a knife is used to cut some small holes in the stem in a certain pattern.
But not completely divided.
This also requires techniques.
Another example is 'Dodder Bud', which is also not placed directly in the herb bag, but is completely wrapped and tied together with a broad-leaf spiritual material called 'Guanzhong Mianma' to achieve the desired effect. .
Some of the rules for handling medicinal materials were researched and improved by Yu Lingchun herself, while others are general rules.
Therefore, the same formula prepared by different pharmacists will have quite different medicinal effects.
But there is no way, Yu Lingchun is not here.
You can only do it yourself.
"Master, let Yan'er and sister do it." Xu Ruyan squatted in the yard.
Chen Ping looked up and found that only Xu Ruyan, Xu Ruluan and Smiling Fox were probably practicing in the stone tablet.
Chen Ping ignored her.
Evil spirit cannot do such a thing.
These are high-quality spiritual materials and should not be contaminated with evil spirits, otherwise the spiritual materials will deteriorate faster and lose their spirituality.
But at this moment, only a spiritual plant was seen floating, and a leaf fell off gently.
There is no trace of evil or filthy air on the spiritual material.
Xu Ruyan smiled:
"Does the head of the family think Yan'er and sister have been slacking off in the yard all these years? No way. My sister said that the head of the house has been practicing, and he may not be able to reunite with the eldest lady in a short time. In order to prepare for a rainy day, just in case something happens. One day the head of the family needed to prepare a medicine package, and Yan'er and her sister had already started thinking about ways to deal with Lingzhi."
"My sister discovered that the spiritual energy in the courtyard of the owner of the house is special and has a special aura. In this environment, my sister has found a way to control her own mind to manipulate spiritual materials."
"This method requires the use of aura, which consumes one's own mental power, but it can ensure that no evil spirit will be contaminated with the spiritual materials."
Chen Ping was slightly startled.
I didn't expect that the aura of the heart of the spiritual vein could have such value.
What's more, he didn't expect that the Xu Ruyan sisters had been thinking about this matter for him, and he never told them.
Xu Ruyan said affectionately:
"The master of the house does not need to be moved. Yan'er knows that the master of the house could have hired servants, but that would mean that the scope of activities of Yan'er and her sister would be even smaller. The master of the house must not want Yan'er and her sister to be too bored, so he sacrificed For your own comfort, right? Yan'er understands that."
ah?
I actually thought so?
Isn't it because I don't want others to know about the two exercises I want to practice here and the magic weapon for tempering my life?
Isn't it because after I move into Tianyin Fairy City, I don't need to practice offensive spells, and it won't cause damage to the house and yard, so I don't need anyone to take care of it at all?
Is it enough for you two sisters to do the small amount of work that you have so you don't hire servants?
"Also, the evil spirit and evil charm of the evil spirit bead in the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts are not comparable to the evil energy pills of the past. Although Yan'er and sister don't know how the family owner got it, the family owner must have spent a lot of money. Very energetic, right? You must have overcome a lot of dangers, right? Yan'er and sister will remember the kindness of the family master?" Xu Ruyan's eyes were so affectionate.
Chen Ping's head was so confused.
It turns out that I spent a lot of effort to get this evil bead.
I see.
"Also, the head of the family has always liked to meditate, but he rarely stayed in seclusion for more than ten years. There are many high-level monks here in Tianyin Fairy City, and all kinds of strange methods are endless. The head of the family is worried that Yan'er and her sister are in danger, so he has been in seclusion all year round. She stays in the mansion and often stays in seclusion for decades. Yan'er knows it in her heart." Xu Ruyan's eyes were full of gentleness.
Chen Ping opened his mouth slightly.
Facing Xu Ruyan's expression and kind words, he was speechless for a moment.
He paused for a long time, then swallowed, pondered for a while, and said with an affectionate expression, "Except for my hometown, I have only written about the moon for you in my life":
"We are all a family, don't talk about this. Just know how good I am."
"I'll leave these spiritual materials to you."
Xu Ruyan nodded her stupid head heavily:
"Don't worry, head of the family, there is the eldest lady's manuscript. My sister and I will follow it and practice with ordinary spiritual materials first. Although we can't be as perfect as the eldest lady's work, we will try our best to make it as good and precise as possible."
Chen Ping gave her a thumbs up.
"By the way, don't say those words to your sister just now. You are so smart. If you think of these things, she will be jealous of you."
"Huh? My sister doesn't know how to do that."
…
In the quiet room, Chen Ping slightly increased the release volume of the Heart of Spiritual Veins to meet his current demand for spiritual energy in the later stages of the golden elixir.
At the same time, he looked at the Yunshuang Yaoling Box.
The heart of the spirit vein in the box is beating rhythmically. Judging from the size, it is slightly smaller than when it was first put in the box, but not much smaller. It's completely different if the heart shrinks by half its volume.
It seems that the maintenance effect of this Yunshuang Yao Ling Box is good.
This spiritual heart can continue to be used slowly.
I glanced at Xu Ruyan who was busy outside through the window and was very pleased.
'It's a pity that they can't draw talismans, and they can't learn to be so proficient in it. Otherwise, having one more helper for drawing talisman would be one more tool for making money in daily life. '
'After spending this time buying the medicine package, I only have about 10,000 spiritual stones left. '
'Hey, there is a shortage of spiritual stones. '
'You also said that you would pay back Biyuan Fairy's evil beads and the spiritual stones of Yishen Dan. How can you earn so much in this year of the Monkey? '
'As we enter the later stage of Golden Elixir, there will be many places that will need spiritual stones in the future. '
'Draw the talisman. '
Chen Ping came to the talisman making room and took out the talisman pen, talisman ink, and talisman skin.
In the decades since I came to Tianyin Fairy City, I have been busy cultivating, and I have never taken the time to draw a talisman. I have just been sitting on my feet.
Now it has to be painted.
In the early days of Jindan, the white shield talisman was most often drawn.
The White Shield Talisman is the most popular third-level talisman and one of the most powerful defensive talismans in the Golden Core stage.
There are about 30 medium-grade spiritual stones per piece, which is not too expensive.
When I went out today, I stopped by the Talisman Store to inquire about it and found that the Soul Fusion Talisman was also very popular here.
There are many high-level casual cultivators in Tianyin Immortal City. Without the protection of the sect, these casual cultivators have to go out to find resources on their own. When they enter secret realms and restricted areas, they usually go in groups.
The spirit-melting talisman allows them to share their reserve spiritual power, so that the combat power of the monk with the strongest actual combat ability in the team can be maximized.
Therefore, the soul-melting talisman is quite popular.
The drawing of the Soul Fusion Talisman is one of the largest talismans among the third-level talismans, and it is also the talisman with the most demanding requirements on the ink. At the same time, it is also the talisman that ranks first in price.
A piece of 90 medium-grade spiritual stones.
Chen Ping's spirit-melting talisman skills were at full level back then. The talisman ink was also the best talisman ink he prepared. The talisman skin was also the best talisman skin of third-level monsters he made. With the addition of various factors, a It is also very easy for Zhang to sell a high-grade spiritual stone.
At the moment, what he was drawing was the Soul Fusion Talisman.
With a glance and a swipe, his spiritual power converged slightly, and he raised a pointed tail.
Put away the pen.
very good.
A high-grade spiritual stone was obtained.
continue
The following days, like ten years, were spent by Chen Ping practicing two exercises and tempering his natal magic weapon.
Occasionally I also draw symbols.
However, I don’t draw many talismans. Sometimes during the critical period of cultivation, I won’t be able to draw one for a year or two. Sometimes, on a whim, I will draw five or six of them in one day.
As time passed, the inner thunder he had during body refining had completed the tempering of his internal organs, and his internal organs had become a 'heart of stone'. He had now begun to temper the last part of his body - the marrow refining.
That is to temper his own various body fluids represented by bone marrow.
In addition, his cultivation has been approaching the eighth level of the Golden Core as time goes by.
This day.
While he was seizing the time to practice in the quiet room, there was a sudden noise in the yard.
First there was the irritable sound of the smiling fox shaking the boudoir drum, and then Xu Ruluan’s comforting voice
Chen Ping frowned slightly and walked out:
"What's wrong?"
Xu Ruluan saw Chen Ping coming out and said anxiously:
"For some reason, my aunt suddenly became restless and restless. No matter how she tried to comfort her, it had no effect."
At this moment, the smiling fox's cheeks were changing rapidly and uninterruptedly. One moment, it was the face of a frightened girl, and the next it was the face of a fox, with the sound of "gurgling" coming from its mouth.
The broken boudoir drum was violently shaking in his hand.
Sister Xu Ruluan, who was trying to appease it, looked a little helpless.
As soon as Chen Ping pointed out, spiritual power poured into the forehead and heart of the smiling fox, and he silently recited the Qingxin Mantra in his heart, constantly hinting at it - 'A calm mind will naturally make you peaceful'.
Perhaps out of the master's intimidation, the smiling fox actually calmed down.
Chen Ping's spiritual consciousness penetrated its mind and retraced the process before recognizing its master in the 'Nine Nether Ghost Control Technique'.
This method can look back on its life and find out its obsession, and naturally it can also look back on what she just experienced.
But after looking back, I didn't find that anything had happened to it. It had always been in the yard and never went out.
On the contrary, it was some fragmented pictures from the past that appeared in its consciousness that aroused Chen Ping's idea.
"Master, why is my aunt suddenly like this?" Xu Ruyan asked with lingering fear.
"I don't know either. But it should be fine." Chen Ping nodded.
Go back home and continue practicing.
evening.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house.
Chen Ping's consciousness swept over and saw Shiba standing outside the door, as well as a female monk with mottled white hair whom he had never seen before.
