I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 267 Making a choice

Lingxiao Sect.

Wei Xun returned from Chen Ping's house. As soon as he returned to the leader's inner palace, he saw Elder Pan, who came to have a final exchange with Wei Xun. The fog formation has been broken, and Elder Pan immediately contacted the original sect. In the near future, he will lead the disciples of the sect back to the original sect.

"Headmaster Wei, then Fellow Daoist Chen..." At the end of the conversation, Elder Pan's topic shifted to the key figures who broke the formation this time.

Elder Pan knew that Chen Ping was a guest minister of the Lingxiao Sect and that his term of service was approaching.

Before Elder Pan finished speaking, Wei Xun said:

"Well, although I am determined to rebuild the Lingxiao Sect, it is the time when I need talents, and Chen Fellow Daoist is also my guest of the Lingxiao Sect. But I think Chen Fellow Daoist has his own plans for the future. It would be inappropriate to keep him at this moment. , affected his judgment. That’s all, let Chen Fellow Daoist make his own decision.”

"Yeah, too." Elder Pan's mouth twitched.

"Could it be that Elder Pan wants to invite Fellow Daoist Chen?" Wei Xun raised his eyes as if nothing had happened.

"What are you talking about, Master Wei? Master Wei doesn't want to influence Fellow Daoist Chen's decision-making. How can I do it?" Elder Pan shook his head and smiled:

"Besides, there are more than twenty disciples who followed me back to the sect this time, and all of them have demonic intentions. Our sect is quite troubled by the demonic intentions of these disciples. How could I deliberately invite Chen Fellow Daoist to join My sect won’t do it.”

"This demonic intention is quite tricky." Wei Xun smiled and relaxed slightly.

"..."

Not long after Elder Pan left, another group of monks from the Foundation Building came to visit Wei Xun.

They were all elders or deacons of the foreign sect, and they came to say goodbye to Wei Xun on behalf of the foreign sect.

After two days of transition, these sect monks, under the influence of the messenger talisman, have successively made contact with the original sect and will return in the near future.

"May I ask Master Wei, who is this person who broke the formation?" A Taoist nun on the ninth floor of the Foundation Building asked. Seeing Wei Xun's sharp eyes, she added:

"We will return to the original sect soon. If the leader asks, we can't explain clearly. It seems that we are too incompetent. That's why we ask this question. There is absolutely no other intention."

As soon as the Taoist nun finished speaking, a white-haired monk echoed:

"Yes, yes, we are just curious. It is definitely not to poach your disciples. Which sect among us is not a big sect, how can we care about a mere person who breaks the formation? Head Wei can rest assured."

As soon as these words came out, the other people were silent for a while, and the Taoist nun even glared... Could you be any more stupid?

Wei Xun secretly cursed a group of shameless people who are only interested in profit. You didn't see much help during the civil strife in Luoyue City. Now that the formation has been broken, you have started to think about talents.

His face was expressionless:

"I won't bother you all to worry about this. This matter was planned by me, and it doesn't matter who breaks the formation in the end. Fellow Daoist returns to the sect and reports like this."

"That's right, that's right." The Taoist nun smiled.

I thought to you, Wei Xun, please stop bragging. We have been working together for so long before, and everyone knows that you have been working hard for so many years without success.

Then his eyes turned:

"By the way, this person should be at least on the ninth floor of the Foundation Building, right?"

Seeing that Wei Xun didn't answer, a monk took over:

"I think he's at least a Rank Two formation mage, right? Head Wei."

"In my opinion, he must be a male cultivator to have such courage, right? Head Wei, do you think this junior's guess is correct?" A cultivator continued.

"..."

Wei Xun drank tea silently, without even looking at these guys, and didn't even bother to answer a word.

Seeing that they could still find nothing to say, everyone secretly cursed Wei Xun, but had to disperse without interest.

…

Chen Mansion.

Wei Xun's invitation undoubtedly provided Chen Ping with one more choice.

What he needs to evaluate now is the pros and cons of going to Tianyan Domain, and then compare it with staying in Lingxiao Sect to serve as the master of Keqing Peak, and finally make the best choice.

However.

In the evening, an uninvited guest came to the house - Elder Pan, a Gold Core monk.

This actually made Chen Ping slightly surprised.

The two don't have much friendship.

It turned out that Elder Pan also came to invite him to join the sect.

It’s just not the Lingxiao Sect.

It was Elder Pan’s original sect.

The conditions offered by Elder Pan were far less generous than Wei Xun's. The person who invited Chen Ping was the guest minister of the sect, which was similar to Chen Ping's current status in Lingxiao Sect.

But there are advantages.

That would allow Chen Ping to escape from the chaotic place of Qingyun Domain and enter a brand new sect.

And with the protection of the sect, you don’t have to worry too much about being excluded by others.

The remuneration is slightly higher than the current remuneration given by Lingxiao Sect.

Obviously he came prepared.

"I won't bother you much. If Fellow Daoist Chen has made a decision, you can inform me at any time. Or you can go directly to my sect. I am always waiting for you." Finally, Elder Pan stood up.

Chen Ping stood up and said goodbye:

"This junior has a low cultivation level and no strong strength. He just broke the formation by chance. It is really scary to get the invitation from Elder Pan and Head Wei. However, this matter is very serious, and junior needs to consider it carefully. If there is any The junior will go to Elder Pan to make a decision."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

The muscles on Elder Pan's face trembled slightly.

Wei Xun has been here too?

Shameless old thief.

He told me not to come, but he came secretly.

Haha, luckily I didn't believe him.

…

"How do you want to choose?" Yun Haitang asked with a smile after Elder Pan left.

Chen Ping nodded and said:

"Wait and see, don't worry, I'll go get to know the situation outside in the next few days."

"By the way, now that the fog formation has been broken, the disciples of the Yun family can gather together again. No matter what the decision is in the future, the Yun family is suitable to join the group to keep warm."

The original dissolution of the Yun family was mainly based on two influences:

First, it was because of Yunzhong City's mistakes that the demonic cultivators succeeded in activating the mist formation. Everyone has a grudge against the Yun family.

The second is that the Yun family has lost power, but the family property must be quite large, so it is inevitable that they will be targeted, and Yun Haitang cannot protect it alone.

Now that the situation has stabilized and the future is full of hope again, those monks who have evil intentions or are dissatisfied with the Yun family will restrain their emotions.

There is no need for the Yun family to hide in the city anymore.

"Yeah." Yun Haitang nodded.

In the next two days, Chen Ping visited several Foundation Building monks from other sects from the Tianyan Territory. Understand the attitude of the outer sect towards the demonic monks.

Judging from past experience, especially the experience of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it seems that the more prosperous the sect, the less inclusive it is. The Tianyan Sect, the largest sect in the Tianyan Domain, is not very welcoming to this type of monks. On the contrary, some remote Immortal Cultivation Cities, such as the Black Rock Sect in the Western Barbarian Region, do not care much about this.

In addition, Chen Ping also went to Fangshi.

The market is always the place where news circulates the fastest.

"Have you heard? Senior Foundation Building monk Su Dasui wanted to withdraw from the Qingyun Territory the other day. As a result, several sects outside the Qingyun Territory have established patrol mechanisms, and they do not allow us and other monks from the Qingyun Territory to pass through the jurisdiction of their sects. He went out of the territory. For this reason, Senior Su also had a conflict with a disciple of the sect and was seriously injured. He had no choice but to return to Luoyue City at noon today." In front of a stall, a thin monk whispered.

"Seriously? Even the powerful ones in the Foundation Building are not allowed to leave?" Another monk's pupils shrank.

"It really can't be true anymore. You will know if you go to Senior Su's house. Many monks are visiting her now. But you Qi Refining Stage, I'm afraid you are not qualified to enter." The thin monk sneered.

"Tch, it's as if you are not a Qi Refining monk. We are waiting for Independent Cultivators. How many of them can truly succeed in Foundation Building?" A white-bearded monk glanced dissatisfied and sighed:

"Hey, the Foundation Building monks are like this. I'm afraid the Qi Refining Stage monks like us will never be able to leave the Qingyun Territory."

Another middle-aged monk said:

"It's not a bad thing. Haven't you heard that Lingxiao Sect is ready to be rebuilt, and Chief Wei will do his best to find a way to eliminate the evil intention for us. It might be good to keep Lingxiao Sect."

"Yes, we are very lucky to be able to break through the fog formation this time. I don't know who the person who broke the formation was so capable." A gray-robed monk said.

"It should be a certain formation master, right?"

The monk’s companion in gray robes puffed up his chest:

"Of course she is a person who is extremely proficient in formations. Hey... I have a sister... who is obsessed with formations. If she is lucky enough to be able to become a disciple of this senior and learn formations, she... will have no regrets in this life."

The gray-robed monk thought to himself, when did his Taoist companion have a sister? One is that I just recognized him.

"..."

Seeing that everyone's conversation was getting off topic, Chen Ping silently withdrew with emotion.

It seems that the outside world is not friendly to the Qingyun Domain monks.

‘Wei Xun’s words are not unreasonable. There is a lot of demonic energy and miasma in Qingyun Domain, and monks from outside will not come in easily. If the demonic cultivators retreat, Qingyun Domain may really be the safest place. ’

‘And once you become the peak master, under the protection of the formation, you will be in an independent immortal peak with no neighbors or friends, which is safer than being in the Xiuxian City. ’

‘There is no age limit yet. ’

‘I have enough spiritual stones now, so I don’t need to work hard to earn spiritual stones. ’

‘Perhaps serving as the Peak Master of Lingxiao Sect is the best choice. ’

On the way back from Fangshi, Chen Ping already had an idea in mind.

Returning to the house, he talked about his thoughts with Yu Lingchun and then gave Wei Xun a reply.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to prepare for it.

In the courtyard of a house in the northeast of Luoyue City.

It was summer at this time, and the sun was burning like fire in Luoyue City without the protection of formations.

Even the air is hot.

A boy in his early ten years was practicing sword practice to keep fit, sweating profusely under the scorching sun.

"Take a rest if you're tired." A female voice came from the house.

"Mom, I'm not tired."

The boy's hands kept moving.

"When practicing swordsmanship, Qi should sink into the Dantian and use internal force to exert force instead of brute force. This way, you can not only practice swordsmanship but also help open up the muscles and meridians."

The boy who was practicing his sword suddenly stopped when he heard a male voice. When he saw the man on the wall, the boy's pupils immediately dilated and he exclaimed with joy:

"Chen Immortal Master?"

Chen Ping was a little surprised that the boy still remembered him.

This boy is Liao Xiafu's precious son.

Many years ago, he and his father, Liao Xiafu, visited Chen Ping. After that, Chen Ping accepted the request to preserve ingredients for the couple, but in these years, Yun Haitang did it for him.

This is the first time that Chen Ping comes to find them.

Chen Ping jumped off the courtyard wall and said with a smile:

"Are you showing any signs of feeling angry?"

Hearing this, the boy was a little disappointed, but then he raised his head again:

"Never, but my mother said that it is mainly caused by the impure spiritual energy here. I will definitely be able to feel the energy in the future, and I will definitely become a practitioner, just like Master Chen Immortal."

The words are sonorous and powerful.

Chen Ping smiled:

"Your mother is right. Hard work will pay off - this is also the belief I have always adhered to. If you keep working hard, you will always succeed."

When Chen Ping said this, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded heavily.

Inside the house, Liao Xiafu's Taoist monk heard the sound and came out.

When I saw it was Chen Ping, I was stunned for a moment, obviously I didn't expect Chen Ping to come.

Then he bowed slightly and said hello.

After exchanging a few words, Chen Ping took out 150 Middle Grade spiritual stones and handed them to the boy’s mother:

"At the beginning, Fellow Daoist Liao gave me 200 Middle Grade spirit stones. In recent years, the spirit rice and Demonic Beast meat are not worth many spirit stones. After that, the Lingxiao Sect will be rebuilt, and you can stay in the Lingxiao Sect. There is no need for me to save the ingredients for you in the future. These spiritual stones should be returned to you."

For several years, I just gave him some spiritual rice and Demonic Beast meat. Better to buy it in advance.

The cost is very low.

On the contrary, Liao Xiafu helped him a lot. The cloud-winged bird that plays a great role in breaking the formation comes from Liao Xiafu.

This value is immeasurable.

Taoist couple Liao Xiafu didn't expect that Chen Ping was here to return the spirit stone, so he hesitated for a while:

"In these troubled times, the spiritual rice and Demonic Beast meat sent by Yun Fellow Daoist several times before were not measurable with spiritual stones. Before the child's death, his father secretly invited many Fellow Daoists to provide material help. Over the years, only The remaining two Fellow Daoists will continue to fulfill their commitments. I will keep this kindness in my heart. These spiritual stones should be regarded as a piece of our hearts. Please don't dislike them, Senior Chen."

Chen Ping still threw the spirit stone to her and asked casually:

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know yet, maybe I will stay in Lingxiao Sect's Immortal Cultivation City."

Chen Ping thought for a while and asked:

"Are you interested in joining the Lingxiao Sect? If you are interested, I can talk to the leader and find you an identity as an outer disciple. It shouldn't be difficult."

Taoist couple Liao Xiafu's eyes moved slightly.

Independent Cultivator for many years, it is her dream to join the sect, but for her cultivation level and age, this is not easy, so she has always lived in Xiuxian City.

At this moment, I quickly thanked you.

Seeing that she was interested, Chen Ping didn't say anything more. He just agreed and left immediately.

There is a back-and-forth, and it can be regarded as repaying Liao Xiafu's favor.

This grudge can be brought to an end.

…

Two days later, in the evening.

Ji Yan comes to visit.

There were three Fellow Daoists who came with Ji Yan, two were Miao brothers - Miao Dayan and Miao Eryan, and the other one was also a Foundation Building Fellow Daoist named Yang from outside the sect.

They are all neighbors on this street.

Chen Ping also knows them all.

"Didn't Fellow Miao Daoist and Fellow Yang Daoist return to the original sect with the team?" Chen Ping was a little puzzled when he saw these three people.

Their sect monks have started to return to their original sect one after another in the past two days.

Moreover, this Miao Eryan... Chen Ping had heard his name before when he asked for souls.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen, I don't know..." Miao Eryan looked bitter.

But before he finished speaking, Yang Foundation Building interrupted:

"Oh~ Miao Fellow Daoist, pfft, what should I call Chen Fellow Daoist? Senior Chen is the right name. You are now a Qi Refining monk, pfft~"

Ji Yan and Kuku laughed.

Miao Eryan's face was the color of pig liver, which was extremely ugly.

Miao Dayan sighed and buried his head deeply.

"You don't know, Fellow Chen Daoist, that Fellow Miao Daoist is now a serious Qi Refining monk, the junior we are waiting for." Yang Foundation Building teased with a grin.

It turns out that the Miao brothers were induced by the Lingxiao Sect to go out repeatedly to collect herbs. The further they went, the more dangerous and difficult it became to collect herbs. Every trip became more and more difficult.

Miao's boss was in a good mood, while Miao's second was dissatisfied from the beginning, but ended up being deceived by his elder brother - "I'll feel relaxed after collecting the medicine this time."

With an unbalanced mentality, and being induced by demonic cultivation, I thought that sooner or later, everyone would become a demon, and it would be better to benefit from it if you become a demon as soon as possible. So I secretly modified the magic technique without telling my elder brother.

This process was fine originally. The demon cultivator was fully prepared for this and used special methods. The process of rebuilding San Gong only caused him to fall to three levels, and he was still at the Foundation Building level.

But then the demon cultivator was defeated.

Caught him off guard.

In a panic, he saw that the demon cultivator had retreated, but he couldn't bring himself to follow the demon cultivator around the world and did not dare to leave his elder brother.

He actually chose to practice San Gong again.

This process allowed him to fall directly from the Foundation Building to become a Qi Refining monk.

Because of this dark history that could not be concealed, the original sect could no longer accommodate him and had to choose to stay in Lingxiao Sect.

That is why Lingxiao Sect is willing to open a door for him.

Chen Ping couldn't help laughing.

Why.

Why bother?

It’s not a big deal if you just practice the magic skills. You can just go to the devil’s cave, but you just have to practice it again.

Do you think that re-cultivation of San Gong is a joke?

You are obviously a great monk in the Foundation Building Late Stage, but you have to become a Qi Refining Stage monk.

This is just great.

From now on, everyone can decide what to call them.

"Forget it, if you are not careful when re-cultivating San Gong, the path of life and death will disappear. Qi Refining is Qi Refining. The previous experience is still there, and sooner or later you can still Foundation Building." Seeing that his brother was in a low mood, Mr. Miao quickly calmed down. In one sentence, he paused and said:

"It will be easier once the Foundation Building is established."

As for Yang Foundation Building, he was originally a guest minister of the original sect, and his service period has expired. Coupled with his strong demonic power, his cultivation has been stagnant for several years.

The foundations have been damaged.

Going back would only lead to discrimination, so I chose to stay and become a member of the Lingxiao Sect.

"After this incident, what are the plans of Fellow Daoist Chen...Senior Chen...?" Miao Laoer didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the topic first and asked.

"Puff~", "Kuku~", "Puff~"

"You... hum..." Miao Laoer's face turned green and red, and he had a bad temper.

Yang Foundation Building laughs the most exaggeratedly.

But then Miao Eryan's words made him stop laughing, and his face instantly turned the color of pig liver - "Yang Fellow Daoist, you are the only one who has the nerve to laugh at me? Among us, your cultivation is completely stagnant. The foundation is seriously damaged. Which of us will follow which?"

this…

It hurts my heart!

They are born from the same roots, so why be too hasty!

Chen Ping was unable to complain and restrained his chaotic breath:

"Since Lingxiao Sect plans to rebuild and the situation outside is unclear, I plan to stay in Lingxiao Sect first."

"Me too." Ji Yan said angrily:

"Except for those monks who have been taken over by sects, most of the independent cultivators who left the territory in the past few days are unable to leave. Those sects will not wait for me to cross the border at all."

"Hey, I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave the territory in the future." Boss Miao sighed, paused and added:

"It will be easy when the day comes when the evil spirit is eliminated."

Chen Ping was thoughtful.

Regardless of the attitude of the outer realm towards the monks from the Qingyun Region, even if he chooses to stay in the Qingyun Region at this moment, he will still have to make a trip to the Qingyun Region sooner or later.

And it's very recent.

Yu Lingchun couldn't afford to wait, and neither could his own Soul Refining technique.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist Chen, you..."

Suddenly, Miao Dayan saw a corner of Chen Ping's inner courtyard full of spiritual materials.

After the array eye was broken, the Nine Palaces Psychedelic Array had been damaged. One of Chen Ping's two Five Elements Psychedelic Arrays was placed at the entrance of the Spirit Cave Mansion and the other at the entrance of the quiet room to ensure his own safety.

As for the spiritual materials, now that the fog formation has been broken, this spiritual material is of little importance.

There is no need to waste a special formation to protect it.

"Well, I bought some in the market before. I didn't know how many years I would be trapped, so I planted them temporarily. After all, I don't have the ability to recognize medicine like Fellow Daoist, and my cultivation level is low, so I don't dare to frequent it. Leave the city." Chen Ping said casually.

"Hiss~"

Boss Miao took a breath.

He had done this before and planted it in the yard, but was visited by Rogue Cultivator. Not only were the spiritual materials robbed, people were injured, and two walls of the house collapsed.

He was also brought to Lingxiao Sect and everyone knew about it.

He was stared at by black and white people for several years.

Boss Miao once again glanced at the spiritual materials outside the window. This... at least two or three years of work, grew lush and green, and was much more than the spiritual materials he originally planted.

Why was I the only one discovered?

Moreover, Chen Fellow Daoist’s cultivation level is even lower!

Chen Ping took a look at these spiritual materials. Now they are of no use. When Lingxiao Sect stabilizes, he can sell them all at once.

It can be exchanged for some spiritual stones.
