Although Xiao Nianmei is only seven years old, her cultivation level is not low at all. Under the guidance of Lu Yuanshan and Liu Qiumei, and with a large amount of resources to train him, his cultivation has now reached the ninth level of Qi training, showing his astonishing talent.
This has to make many Qingshan Sect disciples drop their jaws. They lament that the children of the leader are good, they have good talents and practice quickly.
The numerous resources of the Qingshan Sect are enough to sustain Xiao Nianmei's cultivation to the golden elixir stage. Subsequently, he stayed in Lingxi Prefecture for another three years. A full ten years passed before Lu Ping started to leave for the Central Ancestral Territory.
After handing over all the affairs and resources that needed to be handed over to Lu Yuanshan, Lu Ping turned into a stream of light and flew out of the Qinglian Mountain, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"How long will it take for father to come back after he leaves this time?" Lu Changfeng looked far into the distance and could no longer see Lu Ping's figure. At this time, he was a little emotional, unlike his usual carefree character.
"Dad said before, it could be as short as ten years or as long as a hundred years." Lu Zhiwei said, a glimmer of expectation flashing in her eyes.
"I hope it will only take ten or twelve years for dad to come back."
"Grandpa, Nianmei is waiting for you to come back." Little Nianmei was still waving, watching Lu Ping go away. The little girl's face was full of reluctance. When her true feelings were revealed, she had nothing to hide. Whether she was happy or not was all reflected on her face.
Transforming into a rainbow, he galloped across the blue sky. A moment later, Lu Ping arrived at Chaotian Sect. Then, he took the Chaotian Sect's teleportation array to the Central Ancestral Territory and came to Shuanghu Mountain.
Also coming with him this time were Xutian Sword Spirit and Shanshan, both of whom had been following Lu Ping and were inseparable.
His wife Li Zhilu stayed in Qingshan Sect, waiting for Lu Ping to leave seclusion and return home.
"Ten years, for monks of your level and mine, is just a blink of an eye."
"You can conduct this retreat in my Shuanghu Mountain. I will protect you until the day you leave the retreat." Xutian Jisheng smiled faintly. He had long wanted to see Lu Ping condense his soul.
After chatting with Xutian Jisheng for a long time and understanding the entire process of condensing the soul and the things that needed to be paid attention to, Lu Ping climbed to the top of Shuanghu Mountain, chose a place with rich spiritual energy, and dug out a cave. for this retreat.
Tianyuan Lingshi, Five Elements Immortal Essence, Red Bright Nine Heavenly Flames, three kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were all taken out and lined up in front of him.
Lu Ping took a deep breath and began to take the first step of refining the Tianyuan Spirit Stone. The first step in condensing the soul is to convert the power of the soul in the body into the power of the soul, and then gather the power of these souls into a whole.
This seemingly simple process is actually extremely difficult, hundreds of times more difficult than it is for a Qi-training monk to condense the true energy to build a foundation.
In itself, because during the transformation process, the power of the soul will be extremely violent and have a strong impact. If it is not controlled even a little, it will damage the meridians and Tao body.
The function of this Tianyuan spirit stone is to act as a neutralizing agent to neutralize the violent attribute of the power of the soul and make it smooth and docile.
As for the Five Elements Immortal Essence, it is the origin of the soul and can actively absorb and gather the power of the soul when condensing the soul.
The Chiming Nine Heavenly Flames are used to fight against the heavenly thunder, and use this kind of heavenly and earthly spiritual fire to protect the monk's Taoist body.
Time flew by quickly, and it took a full five months to refine the Tianyuan Spiritual Stone. After his body was filled with this power, Lu Ping began to transform the power of Yuanying into the power of Yuanshen.
It can be clearly felt that after the first power of the soul appeared, there was a riot, like water dripping into hot oil, a violent reaction occurred.
Without relying on the Tianyuan Spirit Stone, it would take a lot of effort to suppress the power of the Dao Yuan Shen, let alone convert more of the power of the Yuan Shen.
This is the first difficulty in becoming a god. Fortunately, with the help of Tianyuan Lingshi, this process is polished by time.
With the second, third, and fourth steps, more Nascent Soul power was successfully converted into the power of the Soul. Three full years later, Lu Ping finally completed this first step.
Next, the second step is to condense the soul. With the assistance of the Five Elements Immortal Essence, the condensation process is not too difficult, it is nothing more than condensation bit by bit.
During Lu Ping's retreat, Lingxi Prefecture was located in the Chu Kingdom. Qingshan Sect disciples continue to complete various sect tasks, many of which were discovered by Lu Ping using [Outside Affairs].
After the completion of these external affairs, the rewards were all tallied to Lu Ping, and the participating disciples each received corresponding sect merit points.
On this day, outside the Qingshan Sect, a monk from the family asked to see him. Song Minghui, as the elder of the sect, received the family monk.
This person's name is Zhang Renmo, the eldest elder of the Zhang family in Hongxia Mountain. After three days and three nights, he traveled 50,000 to 60,000 miles to Qingshan Sect to ask for help.
The Zhang family of Hongxia Mountain is a foundation-building family with a heritage of more than 600 years. It is located on the southern border of the Chu Kingdom. It is a vassal family belonging to the Qingshan Sect. Every year, it provides a batch of second-level middle-grade Han Yuan stones.
For Qingshan Sect, as the sect becomes increasingly powerful, there are many vassal families like Hongxiashan.
It is even said that there is a hierarchical relationship between these vassal families. For example, the Qi Refining Family will depend on the Foundation Establishment Family, and this Foundation Establishment Family will also depend on the Qingshan Sect.
Under the Zhang family in Hongxia Mountain, there are three Qi Refining families attached to them. Knowing that Zhang Renmo came to ask for help and realizing that the other party must have encountered some kind of problem that was difficult for the family to solve, Song Minghui asked directly: "Elder Zhang, please tell me why you are in such a hurry this time." Zhang Renmo because He came in a hurry and was so tired that he didn't bother to drink tea to quench his thirst. He immediately showed a bitter look and said: "Senior Song, you have to help my Zhang family with this matter."
"Four days ago, due to several consecutive days of heavy rain, a river more than 30 years away from Hongxia Mountain collapsed, and a huge snake cave suddenly appeared."
"After the snake cave appeared, it was hit by floods. Tens of thousands of venomous snakes spread downstream along the river, spreading to two counties and six villages."
"In order to solve the snake problem, my Zhang family dispatched thirty monks to organize manpower to clean up the poisonous snakes scattered in the towns and villages, and at the same time sent two family elders to lead twelve monks to the snake caves to clean up."
"Unexpectedly, there was a third-level giant python in the snake cave. In just a dozen rounds of fighting, it seemed that the entire Zhang family was wiped out. Only one elder escaped back to the family."
"The one with the highest cultivation level in my Zhang family is the clan leader. I am in the late stage of foundation building, so I am no match for the third-level giant python. Therefore, I have no choice but to eradicate the snake problem as soon as possible. I can only take the liberty of disturbing your sect and ask Elder Song to send men. Assist my Zhang family and protect their safety." After listening to Zhang Renmo's story, Song Minghui nodded slowly.
"This matter is indeed imminent. Don't be anxious. Since your Zhang family is a family under the Qingshan Sect, we will naturally not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Is there only one third-level giant python? Please tell me in detail about the strength of the other demonic snakes."
