I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 176 Still thinking about the spring breeze without an old friend

The next day.

Chen Ping set out before dawn. Before departure, he specially gave himself a 'wash, cut and blow', using a sword as a tool to cut off his beard and comb his black hair.

After looking at his reflection in the water, he felt like a handsome boy again before giving up.

If you don't clean up, return to Black Rock City, you will clearly tell others that you have come back from the Body Refining spiritual energy gathering area. If Ma Huayun's companions trace Ma Huayun's situation, there may be unexpected troubles.

He changed his face again and changed into a Taoist robe.

In his storage bag, there are dozens of ordinary robes like this.

Occasionally encountering other monks along the way, Chen Ping would take a long detour. After reaching the outskirts, the monks became more densely packed, and Chen Ping deliberately avoided them.

Three days later, he returned to Black Rock City.

Although he is eager to return home, his current condition is not suitable for a long-distance migration back to Lingxiao Sect, and he has to cultivate in Black Rock City for a period of time.

Arriving at Black Rock City, I checked into the original inn with a brand new look.

"Fellow Daoist is here for Body Refining in Black Rock City, right?" The old boy led the way for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping said calmly:

"Yes, I'm new here. Do you know the Body Refining method in Black Rock City?"

So, I spent two Low Grade Spirit Stones and listened to the boy repeat the Body Refining method.

But this time it was quick, and all the questions could be asked in just one stick of incense.

All was calm.

Chen Ping observed silently for a few days, and the news of the success of his small Body Refining finally reached Black Rock City.

Discussions can occasionally be heard in the city.

"Have you heard? Another monk has succeeded in body refining. Oh, I am really envious of him." Next to the stall, a monk sighed.

"Yes, it didn't take long to hear about it. Alas, why is it always someone else who has such a genius?" Another monk lamented.

…No, no, I rely entirely on my own unremitting efforts. Besides, doesn’t it take half a year to be considered a genius? How much more than a year is considered a genius... Chen Ping agreed seriously:

"Well, it would be great if I were such a genius. It would be a great pleasure in life if I could get to know a monk like this. Have you heard who he is?"

"I've never heard of it. This monk is too low-key and doesn't even come to Black Rock City to share his experience." A monk replied.

"How low-key are you? You must be in a hurry to return to your sect, or to accept the worship of female cultivators?"

"I wonder if he is in need of a Taoist companion? I have a friend who would like to find a Taoist companion." A female cultivator smiled.

"..."

Chen Ping finally found out.

The golden light caused by his successful Body Refining has been noticed by other Body Refining monks and spread to Black Rock City.

But no one knows who it is.

Most people guessed that this person had returned to the sect.

also.

The news of Ma Huayun's death did not reach Black Rock City, and no one in the city discussed it. Maybe everyone was used to fighting and killing, or maybe no one noticed Ma Huayun's death.

Chen Ping was finally able to let go of the worry he was carrying.

On the seventh day, Chen Ping checked out, changed his appearance and moved to another inn.

As a monk who came to Body Refining, it was a bit unusual to stay in the same inn for too long.

The new inn only requires 20 Low Grade Spiritual Stones per night.

There is no defensive formation, only a sound isolation formation. I don’t know if there are monks stationed at the Foundation Building Late Stage.

'It's a pity that I can't enjoy the Hua Ji performance in the luxury inn... no... the benefits of the defensive formation. ’

However, I don’t plan to stay in the new inn for long.

After seven days, switch to another store.

During this period, Chen Ping mainly practiced Kung Fu to repair his damaged soul and body.

It's a bit slow to restore the soul by practicing the exercises alone, but it is gradually recovering.

Four months later, Chen Ping fully recovered.

I could no longer suppress the strong homesickness in my heart. I don't know how Yu Lingchun is doing after being away from home for a year and eight months.

Return same day.

On the way back, Chen Ping deliberately took a detour to the south so that no one could tell where he came from.

Passing by a small town five or six hundred miles away from Yunzhong City, Chen Ping stopped in the evening.

When I first moved from Cloud Link City, I stayed in this small town for one night. Zhang Zheng stayed in this town.

Hearing that the boss of Foundation Building was coming in person, the city lord and the master of the Demon-Slaying Branch immediately welcomed him out.

The leader of the Demon-Slaying Branch is also a member of the Yun family, a Qi Refining Late Stage monk.

The city lord is a mortal.

After knowing that Chen Ping was a guest in Yunzhong City, the hall master and the city master specially vacated the best guest room in the house for Chen Ping to rest.

At this moment in the living room, the city lord gave up the main seat to Chen Ping, while he and the master of the Demon-Slaying Branch sat in the guest seats.

"You're welcome, City Master and Master Cloud Link City. I moved from Cloud Link City seven years ago and stayed in this city for one night. I'm so grateful for the hospitality, but I don't even have time to say thank you." Chen Ping smiled.

The city lord was stunned for a moment and recalled that hundreds of monks stopped temporarily in this mortal town seven years ago. Naturally, he was deeply impressed.

At first, he only paid attention to a few Qi Refining Late Stage monks, especially a few people from Ning Mansion and Wang Mansion.

I have no impression of Chen Ping at all.

I just didn’t expect that among those mediocre Independent Cultivators at the beginning, in just seven years, some people would be promoted to Foundation Building Little Perfected Being.

Hall Master Yun was not so surprised, knowing Chen Ping's identity.

"It turns out that Immortal Master Chen once stayed in the town. It is really a blessing for the town. Since Master Chen Immortal is the guest of Yunzhong City, he is also our patron saint, so he should be the host. Master Chen Immortal, please take a seat. , please take a seat..." The city lord was polite for a while.

Chen Ping persisted and took a seat at the main seat.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping asked:

"Among the monks who stayed seven years ago, there is a mid-Qi Refining monk named Zhang Zheng. Is he still in the city?"

"Zhang Zheng?" The city lord thought for a while and said:

"I have no impression. But those monks have left one after another over the years, and now there is no one left. Immortal Master Chen, wait a moment, the house has recorded the departure of some monks, wait a moment, I will go get the booklet come and see."

The city lord left for a moment and soon came back.

Also followed by a young man.

After introduction, Zhang Zheng's situation was not recorded in the booklet. But this young man who worked in the government had a certain relationship with Zhang Zheng and remembered Zhang Zheng's situation.

Zhang Zheng stayed in this town for more than a year, and then left with his wife and daughter, saying that he was going to another mortal city.

"Going to another mortal city?" Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

The young man respectfully said:

"Return to Immortal Master, yes. Although Immortal Master Zhang's wife has recovered somewhat, her health has not been very good since then. She has even become weaker and weaker after a year, and she is afraid that she will not die soon. After that, Immortal Master Zhang resolutely decided to take the The wife and daughter go back to his wife’s earthly hometown to visit.”

This is giving up the path to immortality.

Chen Ping sighed, he didn't expect that parting would be eternal life.

That night, Chen Ping rejected the city lord's proposal to host a banquet. After listening to the leader of the Demon-Slaying Hall briefly report on the situation of the demon cultivators in the area, Chen Ping returned to his guest room.

night.

When Chen Ping was preparing to clean up his belongings in the guest room, a woman knocked on the door and came in with a footbath medicine basin.

The woman was gentle and quiet, always lowering her head slightly.

Chen Ping didn't expect that this service existed.

"Master Chen Immortal, my daughter is He Ruyan, the daughter of Lord He City. Let me serve Master Chen tonight, right?" The woman's voice was flowing, very pleasant, and her cheeks were flushed.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

This city lord is really willing to give up.

Your daughter.

But this world is like this. Every mortal would dream of being associated with a monk, let alone a Foundation Building monk like Chen Ping.

"What are you talking about? There is no need to do this. Just put the tub down and I can do it myself." Chen Ping said.

He Ruyan's face turned red and he was at a loss.

Tears fell heavily.

"Then let Ruyan give Immortal Master Chen a foot bath."

"..."

Seeing her almost begging look, Chen Ping couldn't bear to refuse, so he allowed her to help her wash her feet.

In the nearly ten years since transmigrate, he has had very few interactions with mortals, and has never enjoyed the free and seemingly negative services of mortals or low-level monks.

He spends most of his time in his own house, is used to being alone, and doesn't trust others very much. Most of the time, I am self-reliant, and at most I can enjoy the attentive service of my little daughter-in-law.

At this moment, his feet were being gently rubbed by a pair of jade hands. Under the numbness, he somehow felt unusually comfortable.

"ah!"

He breathed out a sigh of relief.
