When Qingying first asked, it was an unintentional mistake. She didn't expect that Taoist Xu Ping would come out of seclusion so soon.
Now, seeing Taoist Xu Ping asking how Qingying would continue to expose people's scars, she immediately denied it:
"Master Xu, you heard wrong. What I mean is that now you have accumulated a lot of experience and have broken through the realm of great supernatural powers. Those vulgar people who looked down on you in the past will look at you with admiration."
"Haha~"
Taoist priest Xu Ping smiled, but he felt guilty in his heart.
He had just made a breakthrough, and his power and consciousness were unprecedentedly powerful. How could he hear it wrong?
The most important thing is that he always felt that something was wrong with the girl Qingying's eyes just now, and there was a hint of pity and sympathy in the eyes she looked at him.
Taoist Master Xu Ping was puzzled. Without saying a word, he sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to his disciple Chu Chen:
"what happened?"
Chu Chen apologized in embarrassment, worried that his master would break the casserole and reveal the truth in front of outsiders, so he quickly explained.
"Master, it's really not my fault. I just started it casually. Who would have thought that Master improvised and arranged a quasi-master's wife for you who almost married you..."
Taoist Xu Ping: "..."
Even if Taoist Xu Ping is good at cultivating his Qi and does not get angry easily, now he is going to explode, and his anger will not come out in one place.
Why is it bad to make up a story? I have to make up a story like this...
Immediately, his eyes fell on the guilty Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling, and he wanted to curse loudly, but he could not curse because his master and uncle were elders;
As a result, Taoist Xu Ping's eyes fell on the innocent-looking Chu Chen again. He wanted to teach the master's rebellious disciple, but he thought about it carefully.
Forget it, I can't beat it...
Just when Taoist Xu Ping was furious and couldn't get angry, a certain kid came to Taoist Xu Ping's side with a face full of joy, knelt down and bowed:
"Dongdongdong! Congratulations to the master for breaking through to the realm of great supernatural powers!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping saw the little devil kowtow to congratulate him. Xu Ping felt a comparison, and for a while he felt some comfort in his heart.
He is still a pure and cheerful kid who doesn't mess around with people.
Thinking of this, Taoist Xu Ping showed a look of kindness on his face, and he immediately wanted to touch the little devil's head.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the little devil spoke again:
"Master, don't be sad. Everything is over. That bad woman will definitely regret it."
Xu Pingdao stretched out his long hand and froze in mid-air, as dumb as a wooden chicken.
Chu Chen, Fu Hua, Fu Ling, Qingying: "..."
The entire Qingchen Cave fell into an eerie silence.
The kid was confused and scratched his head:
"Master, Senior Brother, Sister Ying'er, why are you so still and talking? Why are you all silent..."
...
As the saying goes, the dirty past is not worthy of praise, but the current dissolute thoughts have no limit.
Once Xu Ping broke through the realm and entered the realm of great supernatural powers, when the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Yunzhou. It was really a sight to behold.
Sima Li, the shepherd of Yunzhou, and Taoist Taihe, the governor of the state, came to congratulate him in person. Even if a group of monks with great supernatural powers did not come in person, they sent their trusted followers to come to congratulate them. The Qingchen Cave Mansion outside the city of Yuqin County immediately became very lively, with an endless stream of guests, and the door was like a market. .
This scene was even more grand than when Chu Chen broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers.
After all, the senior officials in Yunzhou all know that Yunshui Taoist Xu Ping's apprentice is extremely talented. He is a fourth-grade Dzogchen Demon deputy who is less than a year old. Now that both master and disciple have developed great supernatural powers, it is a good story.
The main reason for the grand scene at the beginning was Chu Chen. Master and apprentice are valuable.
However, as Ning Taoist and other people who were watching the ceremony spread the word about the true spirit of Xinghai [golden lotus planted in the fire], subtle changes occurred later.
Each school and each sect has its own emphasis on cultivating essence, refining Qi, and preserving spirit. However, they are inseparable from their sect and reach the same goal through different paths. After each school and sect reaches the realm of great supernatural powers, the focus of practice changes from "life skills" Turned to "sexual power".
Condensing the true spirit of the sea of xing, not only the inner demons are difficult to arise, but also the cultivation is smoother. It is also very useful in reaching the third-level realm in the future, and the chance of breaking through the bottleneck is increased by three points.
In other words, Taoist Xu Ping, who has gone through many hardships, has really accumulated a lot of experience this time and shined.
All of a sudden, the eyes of all the powerful men with supernatural powers who came to congratulate Taoist Xu Ping changed. They were filled with envy and jealousy.
Of course, the real reason for Taoist Xu Ping's fame lies in his "past experience."
After people in the world heard about Xu Ping's spiritual practice, they ridiculed the woman who "had eyes but could not recognize the Lingyun tree". They also admired Xu Ping, and it became a good story.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The louder the "good stories" from the outside world, the louder the violent tremors on a certain kid's head.
After the Great Divine Power Banquet, Chu Chen met with his apprentices Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing. After checking their homework and giving them some advice, he took Qing Ying and Xiao Guizai back to Cangzhou Demon Academy.
The sky is full of clouds.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The little kid touched his head, feeling aggrieved, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes:
"It's too much. The spiritual incense I've been saving for so long is gone again, wuwuwu~ It's too much."
"Hahahaha~"
Chu Chen laughed out loud and took pleasure in his misfortune.
Qingying, who was usually spoiled by little devils, now shook her head and said:
"Little devil, why did you talk so brainlessly that you got into trouble with Master Xu?"
The little devil said: "I'm so quick to talk, so I don't think so much."
When Chu Chen heard this, he smiled and looked at the little ghost with sympathy in his eyes.
Master Xu Ping, Taoist priest, broke through the realm of great supernatural powers and attracted the advent of succubi from outside the territory. If it were placed on ordinary monks, it would not be a big deal, but the Lingshan sect is more sensitive, and it can even be said to be a bit "taboo".
Taoist Master Xu Ping was very dissatisfied with the story compiled by the three people, but for the sake of the reputation of the Lingshan Sect and the possible subsequent influence, he just accepted it with a pinched nose.
However, the anger in Taoist Xu Ping's heart must be inevitable if he admits it.
Chu Chen had already prepared to be scolded by his master, but who would have thought... the little devil would be so brave.
Good guy, in the end, the blame fell entirely on the little devil.
For a moment, Chu Chen felt a little guilty, and immediately took out a handful of high-level spiritual incense from the Bracelet Fairy Mansion and handed it to the little ghost boy:
"Okay, okay, senior brother Lingxiang will supply you."
When the kid heard this, he wiped away his tears and smiled through his tears:
"Senior brother is still kind to me!"
"That's natural!"
Qingying smiled when she saw that the little ghost was comforted, but soon she thought of something, her face was full of emotion, and she said:
"Erlang, it's also a [Golden Lotus Seed]. Master Xu has understood the true spirit of Xinghai, but my gains are far different."
Qingying was quite embarrassed and felt that the treasure given by Chu Chen was a waste.
"Ying'er, your harvest is also extremely amazing. There is no need to underestimate yourself."
Chu Chen smiled and said:
"I witnessed with my own eyes the vision of heaven and earth [Golden Lotus Planted in the Fire]. It did not condense the true spirit of the sea, but focused on the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. In fact, there is no distinction between the two. Their personal experiences are different and they cannot be compared. .”
In addition to recruiting more than 2,000 soldiers and horses during this trip to the underworld, Chu Chen's biggest gain was to consult Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan in person about the method of elixir. He gained a new understanding of how to achieve the golden elixir and achieve immortality.
If you want to attain enlightenment and become an immortal, you must pay attention to the "unity of heaven and man."
"Heaven" refers to the natural laws of heaven and earth, and "human" refers to the practice of "Xing Gong", which is the cultivation of the mind.
Only by understanding the great road, knowing one's mind and nature, and realizing one's self can one touch the "Tao".
Taoist Master Xu Ping condensed the true spirit of Xinghai, which is the good fruit of Xinggong. It will be of great benefit to his breakthrough in practice, and even to his attainment of immortality and enlightenment in the future.
"Yes, Master Xu has gone through many hardships, and it is only natural that he is what he is today. It is just a matter of going with the flow."
After Qingying finished speaking, she recalled something and sighed:
"No wonder my father met Master Xu back then and concluded that he was a late bloomer. It turned out to be true. Master Xu will probably shine in the future."
Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
At that time, Mr. Qingyun, who was also an extremely powerful person of the third level, also made this assertion.
Master Xu Ping showed what it means to "accumulate but not gain". Once the true spirit of Xinghai emerges, the road to immortality will become wider and wider in the future, and the future is limitless.
While talking, Chu Chen and Qingying rushed back to Cangzhou City through the clouds and fog.
Qingying gained profound insights after swallowing [Golden Lotus Seeds]. Although the effect was not as good as that of Chu Chen and Xu Ping, her state of mind was greatly improved.
After arriving in Cangzhou City, Qingying went straight back to Cangzhou Qingchen Cave in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, and continued to attack the late fourth stage and even the Great Perfection.
As for Chu Chen, he went to the Demonic Academy to fulfill his duties as deputy director of the Ministry of Separation.
As soon as he returned to the Demon Academy, his superiors, Master Hui Xin, Han Chen, Wang Ping, Little Monk Yuantong and other people who knew about it all congratulated him and congratulated him on his master's breakthrough to the realm of great supernatural powers.
The scene was quite lively, but there were also minor accidents.
The practice world has always congratulated certain disciples for being successful disciples, but when it came to him, everything was reversed.
From word to word, many uninformed and newly transferred subordinates mistook Taoist Xu Ping for Chu Chen's apprentice. When they saw Chu Chen, they bowed their hands and said something like "Congratulations to the great disciple Xu Ping for becoming a great supernatural power" and "Famous Master". Yunyun, the disciple of a great disciple, made Chu Chen quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and other confidants prevented this "misunderstanding" from spreading. Instead, Chu Chen invisibly established the impression of "immeasurable immortality" in front of the newly transferred subordinates.
It's an unintentional gain.
...
During the days when he went to the underworld, major events occurred in the eight southwest states. The "catastrophe" mentioned by Master Huixin was still hanging in the air, and the senior officials of the entire eight southwest states were quite nervous.
After understanding the situation, Chu Chen did not overestimate his ability and get involved.
On the one hand, he let his avatar [Five-Colored Dream Dragon] sit in the Libu compound and fulfill the responsibilities of Libu's deputy, taking over the fifth and sixth squads of the Libu again, coordinating his subordinates to exterminate demons everywhere.
As for this deity, he is going back to the cave to offer sacrifices and refine his soldiers and horses.
This time he went to Netherworld and recruited more than two thousand high-level soldiers and horses in one go. Naturally, he would not ignore them.
Maintaining troops and horses has always been extremely expensive.
Chu Chen spent most of his savings in the past few years. This was only the initial investment. The subsequent daily training of soldiers and horses and martial arts training also cost a large amount of spiritual incense and jade coins.
For this reason, he, who never asked Qingying for money, finally accepted Qingying's five million jade fund this time.
Originally, Qingying planned to give 10 million, and also planned to continue raising money, but Chu Chen finally stopped her.
After all, he refined his weapons with secret techniques, not with jade coins, so his current expenses were not that high.
What is really missing is the "thousand-year-old spiritual bean".
Over the years, Chu Chen has not given up cultivating the Millennium Spirit Beans. He has accumulated more than 700 Millennium Spirit Beans in his hands, and he has killed more than 2,000 soldiers in one go. The Thousand Years Spirit Beans he accumulated are not enough.
However, fortunately, the "Millennium Spirit Beans" are currently being cultivated in Qingchen Cave, and Qingying's chamber of commerce often collects "Millennium Spirit Beans" for him, so there is no need to rush.
Of course, what's more important is that Chu Chen currently has the military magic weapon [Iron-Blooded Danxin Gourd] to sacrifice his troops and horses, and his soldiers and horses will not die easily in battle, so the need for [Fairy Beans] is not that urgent.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate.
In a flash, a month passed.
Practice in a pure room.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged, with the treasure gourd around his waist sending out crimson energy, causing birds to soar.
In front of him, a weapon-refining dojo the size of a millstone stood suspended in the air. Three thousand soldiers and horses were in uniform, leading the Dao Qi to mix themselves, and a chilling Qi soared into the sky.
"Huh~"
Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
In one month, he refined more than 2,000 Fengdu Yin soldiers under his command into Yellow Turban Warriors, and spent all the more than 700 thousand-year-old spiritual beans in his hands to transform them into fairy bean soldiers.
After some training, the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command took on a new look.
Especially the newly recruited soldiers and horses, their cohesion greatly increased after learning about the past and amazing talent of "Mage Chu Chen" from the veterans.
Soldiers who are willing to follow Chu Chen from the underworld to start a business are essentially "enterprising" ghosts.
The stronger the master he follows, the better the prospects. Chu Chen perfectly meets the expectations of all Fengdu Yin soldiers, so the cohesion will naturally become stronger and the military morale will become more stable.
Of course, in addition to cultivating military magical powers, Chu Chen also did not forget to practice the [Shangqing Golden Lotus Crown], [Water Letter Seal] and [Fire Letter Seal].
In particular, the [Golden Lotus Crown of the Supreme Purity] contains the creation of heaven and earth. After a month of worship, your spirituality will greatly increase.
As soon as he thought about it, Chu Chen thought of something, and he pinched the magic formula with his hands.
Immediately, a golden light flashed above his head.
In a flash, the golden light fell to the ground and turned into a little golden lotus boy with pink and jade carvings and short legs and lotus arms.
"Plop" sound.
The little boy Jin Lian knelt on the ground and said with a milky voice:
"Jin Lian greets you sir."
"Um!"
Chu Chen was extremely satisfied when he saw the Jin Lian boy's increasingly lively eyes.
It is indeed a spiritual root fairy treasure!
They are both "transformation magic weapons", but the difference is extremely huge.
[Water Letter Seal] [Fire Letter Seal] has become a transformation magic weapon, but its body is just an ordinary fourth-grade lightning strike jujube tree. Its spirituality is far inferior to that of the spiritual root fairy treasure. It is wooden and dull. It can only be waved like an arm when he orders it. make.
However, the little Jin Lian boy in front of him is different. He was born with spiritual intelligence, and his mind is similar to that of a ten-year-old child. He is born with the power of mysterious laws. Whether it is the power of the magic weapon or the subsequent growth, it is not comparable to the two seals of water and fire. .
With the help of the Golden Lotus boy, his confidence in the third-level magical power on the hard steel on the front has been further increased.
"Sir, can I go and play with Brother Xiaoguizi? I have been practicing diligently today..."
"go Go!"
Chu Chen smiled gently and did not stop him.
The Golden Lotus boy and the little ghost boy are similar in intelligence, equally innocent and silly, and they are very fun to play.
While having fun, little Golden Lotus children can become smarter and more spiritual.
The stronger the spirituality, the more powerful the magic weapon will be.
This is also a kind of practice.
After sending away the little boy with golden lotus, Chu Chen originally planned to do some inner cultivation, but as a result, the little boy with golden lotus left and returned very quickly.
To be precise, it was the little ghost boy who dragged the little boy Jin Lian into the pure practice room.
"Senior Brother, something serious has happened. The aura of disaster and calamity suddenly erupted in the sky, covering the sky and the sun..."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is finally solved with an app that can change sources. Download it here
Chu Chen was shocked when he heard this.
"Here it comes, the disaster that Master Hui Xin said is coming."
